After being choked to death by a copper coin, she became a demon Jin Ji in the other world

[The further I walked northeast, the colder it got. When I finally reached the end, I found a piece of land on the other side. Thinking back to what Sister Su Yi and the others had taught me, I concluded that the land must be the so-called America.]

[It is said that there is a considerable degree of culture in that land, so I decided to go and take a look. So I crossed the strait and headed southeast along the coastline.]

[In this land called America, I don’t feel that the residents here look any different from the people of Daqin. Perhaps they are really the descendants of the ancestors of a certain dynasty. After all, such things are not uncommon.]

[Their language is different from ours, but in my opinion, this is nothing. After all, the languages of the six countries are not very unified. They all speak their own language. If I were still the King of Qin, I would definitely conquer this place.]

[I am not bragging. I have carefully studied and judged that the American people are not in the same league as our Great Qin, and are even far behind South Korea. Most of their tribes are still using stone weapons, and only a few have bronze weapons.]

[Especially the herdsmen in the north, who don't even have a city, so they are easy to attack. But the ones in the south are a bit more troublesome. They have already established their own splendid culture, and those magnificent sacrificial temples make me feel excited.]

[However, this is not a big problem. Although they have initially established a civilization, both the tribes in the north and the city-states in the south are very scattered and there is no unified force at all.]

[Besides, those people particularly like to be naked, without any armor. For me, the Qin warriors who are armed to the teeth, chopping them is like killing pigs.]

[The only problem is that Daqin is too far away from there, and the climate is a bit complicated. I even saw a tornado in the north. When Sister Suxin taught me about that thing, I was a little unconvinced. How could a wind-breaking thing be so powerful? ]

[But when I saw it with my own eyes, hey, if I were still a mortal, I would not be able to withstand this level of disaster. ]

When Ying Mengze traveled to America, the ancient Indians of North America were in the [Early Woodland Period]. The ancient Indians lived on an independent continent, had no powerful external enemies, and their traditional way of life was enough to sustain the survival of the group.

The tribes lived scattered around, and the vast territory diluted possible conflicts, but it also cut off the possibility of change.

During the same period, splendid city-state cultures emerged in Central and South America. Many civilizations, including the Olmec civilization, Mayan civilization (classical period), Zapotec civilization, and Mixtec civilization, coexisted during this period.

Of course, the above names were given to these civilizations by the white colonists who invaded this place. Their real names have long been lost in the dust of history.

The most brilliant cultures in the Americas include the previously mentioned Mayan civilization that was born in 1500 BC, the Aztec civilization that was born in the 14th century, and the Inca civilization that was born in the 15th century.

They have their own characteristics. For example, the Mayan civilization is the only ancient civilization in the world that was born in the tropical jungle rather than in the basin of a large river. Corn is the most important legacy it left to mankind.

The Aztec civilization is a typical lake civilization. For various reasons, they like to build cities on islands in the lake. In contrast, the Inca civilization prefers to build homes in the mountains.

What these three have in common is that they all eventually perished at the hands of white people, and the blow that Western colonists brought to American civilization was devastating.

In modern times, although you can see many history enthusiasts who claim to be the inheritors of American culture, their faces are all white without exception.

The real Native American ethnic groups disappeared long ago in the hundreds of years of massacres by white colonists.

Chapter 269: Travels in the Xiongnu

Unlike Su Yi and the others, Lu Zhiwei neither went west nor east. After watching Zhao Ji enter Qin, she ran to the nomadic tribe on the northern grassland, where she spent a considerable amount of time.

Before the Xiongnu was founded, the northern grasslands were divided by many clans of different sizes. At that time, the Donghu tribal alliance was distributed in the Xilamulun River and Laoha River basins in the southeast of the grasslands.

The Dingling tribal alliance was distributed in the Selenga River basin west of Lake Baikal and south of it; the Xiongnu tribal alliance was distributed north and south of the Yin Mountains, including the area south of the Hetao. In addition, there were various tribal groups of varying sizes scattered throughout the grassland.

The Xiongnu regime was established on the basis of the Xiongnu tribal alliance, by conquering the above-mentioned tribal alliances, tribes and some other small countries.

In the 3rd century BC, the superstructure of the Xiongnu rule gradually took shape into a stable triangular structure with the central royal court as the core and the Left Wise King in the east and the Right Wise King in the west as the flanks.

At this time, the Xiongnu regime controlled a vast area from the Caspian Sea to the Great Wall, including the Mongolian Plateau, Siberia, northern Central Asia, northeastern China and other regions within its rule.

Lu Zhiwei came to the Xiongnu Kingdom in such an era. At that time, the Xiongnu was not very powerful and was often beaten by Li Mu of Zhao State. After the fall of Zhao State, they were further weakened by Meng Tian of Qin State.

But it is undeniable that the Huns were in a period of rising national strength at this time. The leader of the Huns at this moment was a Chanyu named Touman, who was the first Chanyu of the Huns and the founder of the Huns regime, but he was also a young guy at this moment.

Relatively speaking, his son Maodun Chanyu may be more famous. There is an anecdote about this guy that has been passed down to later generations, and its name is "Ming Di Shi Papa".

[Maodun was originally the crown prince of his father, Touman Chanyu. As Touman Chanyu's favorite concubine, Yanshi, gave birth to a younger son, Touman Chanyu wanted to kill Maodun and make the younger son the crown prince, so he thought of a way to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

He sent Maodun to the Yuezhi Kingdom as a hostage. Soon after Maodun arrived in the Yuezhi Kingdom, he immediately sent people to attack the Yuezhi Kingdom, so the Yuezhi Kingdom wanted to kill Maodun.

But Maodun was unwilling to surrender, so he stole a good horse from the Yuezhi Kingdom and rode it back to the Xiongnu. The Chanyu Touman thought he was brave and ordered him to lead 10,000 cavalry.

Maodun was obedient on the surface, but he had already harbored murderous intentions towards his father in his heart, so he invented a kind of whistling arrow and trained his subordinates in horse riding and archery skills.

He issued an order: "Whoever does not follow me and shoot at the target with all his strength will be beheaded."

Maodun first hunted birds and beasts. If someone did not shoot at the target with the whistling arrow, Maodun would kill them. Then, Maodun shot his beloved horse with the whistling arrow. If someone around him did not dare to shoot, Maodun would kill them immediately.

Soon after, Maodun shot his beloved wife with a whistling arrow. Some of the people around him were frightened and dared not shoot, so Maodun killed them again.

After some time, Maodun went out hunting and shot his father, Touman Chanyu's favorite horse with a whistling arrow. The people around him followed suit and shot. At this time, Maodun knew that his people around him were all useful people.

So he took the opportunity of following his father Touman Chanyu out hunting and shot Touman Chanyu in the head with a whistling arrow. The people around him also followed suit and shot arrows at Touman Chanyu, and Touman died on the spot.

Finally, Maodun killed his stepmother, younger brother, and all the ministers who disobeyed him, and established himself as Chanyu.

The patricide of Maodun Chanyu by Mingdi and the Xuanwu Gate Incident are actually similar in nature. What they have in common is that after defeating the previous waves, they both brought their empires to prosperity.

However, little Maodun had not been born yet, so Lu Zhiwei could only see Touman Chanyu who was in his youth. Of course, Lu Zhiwei didn't really want to know this guy called Touman.

She just wanted to enjoy the wonderful life on the grassland. Relying on the medical skills and knowledge brought from the Central Plains, Lu Zhiwei soon became a fortune-teller in a small tribe under the command of Zuo Xian Wang.

Apart from eating and drinking every day, he would treat the wounded in the tribe. Because the Huns were badly beaten by Li Mu in those years, fortune-tellers like Lu Zhiwei, who had a high survival rate for treating illnesses, were very popular.

The Xiongnu people mainly engaged in animal husbandry and hunting. The livestock they relied on were mainly horses, cattle and sheep, among which horses were the most important. Meat and dairy products were particularly common in their diet, and fish were sometimes eaten.

Therefore, Lu Zhiwei's food in the Xiongnu tribe was much better than in the Central Plains. At least she thought so. Being able to eat fish and meat regularly was like heaven!

Compared with the Central Plains, the Huns preferred to use animal skins to make clothes. Of course, this was their main material. In order to adapt to local life, the Huns began to make pants, boots, robes, pointed hats or hoods very early.

This kind of fur suit is very suitable for local life in terms of carrying weight or keeping warm. Among the specialties brought back by Lu Zhiwei, there are also several sets of this kind of Xiongnu clothing. Shen Yuelan touched it and felt it was quite warm.

Of course, Lu Zhiwei had a main job as a fortune teller. The Huns believed in shamanism and held collective sacrifices on designated days every year, three times a year, namely in the first month, fifth month and autumn.

Generally speaking, the gathering in the first month of the lunar year was a small gathering, attended by the leaders of the Xiongnu. The location of the collective sacrifice was generally where the Chanyu was. Lu Zhiwei was not qualified to go, so she didn't need to worry about it.

The conference in May is the most religious, with a large number of participants. It is held in Longcheng and is mainly for worshiping ancestors, heaven and earth, and ghosts and gods.

Although Lu Zhiwei was still not worthy of going, she also needed to perform some ceremonies in the tribe, so this period was her busiest time.

The autumn gathering was to thank the gods for the autumn harvest. Of course, Lu Zhiwei was not qualified to go, but she had to work just like May, but not as busy as May.

The Huns' sacrifices also included discussing national affairs and thanking the gods after autumn. So although Lu Zhiwei was just a witch, her power was very great in the small tribe. All matters big and small in the tribe required her to make divinations before making a decision.

In order to make her life better, Lu Zhiwei often helps the tribe to make some particularly useful divinations in order to improve the strength of the tribe and her own treatment.

Therefore, before she left, the tribe had become a large tribe of considerable size.

[Oh? What's the name of the tribe you support? ]

[Well, Lv thinks that the tribe is called Xianbei.]

Chapter 270 Souvenir Gifts

Xianbei is okay, Shen Yuelan twitched her lips when she heard this, and planned to go back and report to the Time Management Bureau in advance, so as to prevent this guy from causing any big trouble for her.

After learning about the whereabouts of the four people, Shen Yuelan sighed helplessly. None of the guys under her command stayed in the local area honestly. Even so, one of them still said that those disaster victims grew up under their care. It was complete nonsense!

However, Shen Yuelan was too lazy to say anything. After all, it was very interesting to listen to them talk about their travel experiences, not to mention that these guys also brought her some local specialties.

In addition to the [fur coat], Lu Zhiwei also brought back a lot of dairy products and dried meat, but Shen Yuelan tasted them and didn't think they were very tasty. There was no salt or other seasonings. It was just pure dried meat and dairy products. The main focus was on freshness.

Most of the things Ying Mengze brought back were jade products, which was related to the early American civilization's love of jade. In addition, Ying Mengze, this little bastard, actually brought back two bags of corn.

[Why did you bring corn back for no reason? ]

[Um, I…I think this thing is easy to keep alive, and it produces a lot, so I want to bring it back to try and see if it can blossom and bear fruit on the land of China. If it succeeds, the people of my Great Qin will no longer have to starve.]

[Hiss, put it away quickly. That thing was originally called foreign wheat. It was not introduced to China from overseas until the Ming Dynasty 1500 years later. The impact of rashly planting it on this land will be more serious than killing yourself.]

[Is that so? That thing is quite delicious. I wanted to share it with everyone. I thought I did a good thing. ]

Looking at Ying Mengze's somewhat aggrieved expression, Shen Yuelan rubbed her temples with a headache. She had to be patient and explain the pros and cons of the matter to her.

[Mengze, remember, you are no longer the king of Qin. Haven't you witnessed your own end? The current king of Qin is Zhao Zheng]

[Now you are just Ying Mengze, a demon concubine under me, Shen Yuelan. From now on, your position should be based on me, not Qin.]

[Everything depends on you, then...then won't I become your slave? Can't you give me a higher status? It's okay to be a minister? ]

[When did I say you are my slave? Are you and Fan Sui in a master-servant relationship? Doesn't he obey your will? You are not old, but you think a lot every day.]

[Oh, that seems to be the case. But why am I not old? I must be in my sixties or seventies. How many people in the world can live to my age? ]

[Hmph, when you come back to the other world with me, you will know how many people in the world can live to my age. Okay, go away. I want to see what Su Yi and the others brought back.]

【whispering sound! 】

Putting aside Ying Mengze's mumbling, the gifts from the Su Yi sisters were obviously more attractive. The wine that Su Yi brought back from Rome was what interested Shen Yuelan the most.

The wine brewed by the Romans was not necessarily better than hers, but as a qualified winemaker, she needed to taste wines from different origins and study the differences in order to improve her own level.

In addition, she was also very interested in the Roman currency that Su Yi brought back. At this time, the currency of ancient Rome was mainly made of two materials, namely silver coins and copper coins.

Ancient Roman copper coins began to appear around 289 BC. The earliest ancient Roman copper coins were heavy copper coins with a diameter of up to 100 mm. They were cast in two-part stone molds.

Each coin was called an as and weighed one Roman pound (1 grams, 335.9 pounds). Each side had a unique mark and a value symbol.

其币值单位有【半分】（1/2阿司）、【三分】（1/3阿司）、【四分】（ 1/4阿司）、【六分】（ 1/6阿司）和【十二分】（ 1/12阿司）。

The ancient Roman silver coins appeared a little later. According to Pliny's records, the silver coins of the Roman Republic began to be minted in 269 BC. The Roman Republic minted them based on Greek coins.

But slightly different from Greek coins, they are engraved with "ROMANO" and may have been originally made by craftsmen in southern Italy.

Did ancient Rome have gold coins? The answer is yes. Ancient Roman gold coins were issued from the Second Punic War, which is between 218 BC and 201 BC.

Of course, even if Su Yi reached Rome during this period, she would most likely not be able to get gold coins, because gold coins at this time were mostly used for military purposes and were difficult for civilians to get.

[Roman currency? That's quite interesting. Suyi, didn't you go to Africa to have a look? During this period, Egypt should be in the Ptolemaic Dynasty of the 32nd Dynasty, and the ruler was Ptolemy III. The country was still at its peak.]

[The ancient enemy of Rome, the Republic of Carthage on the north coast of Africa, is still alive and well. It is considered a famous historical attraction. If I were to go there, I would definitely go there. ]

[Hey, Alan, you may have forgotten that Carthage and Rome have been fighting for so many years. It is simply impossible for me to go there from Rome. As for Egypt, I would like to go there, but time is running out, so I can only return.]

[I also know what you mean, Alan. You just complained that I didn't bring enough things. I don't know you yet. Of course, I didn't only bring Roman currency to you. Yes, I also collected some Persian currency, but the quantity is much less.]

[After all, the coins there are mainly gold and silver, which are much more valuable than those in Rome. I don't have that much money to exchange them in large quantities at the moment, so I only exchanged about ten coins. You can just deal with them.]

【Why do I feel like you are coaxing a child? 】

[Uh, no way, that's your illusion. Hehe, Sister Xin, Sister Xin, what local specialties did you bring back? Show them to Lanlan.]

Su Yi's attempt to change the subject was quite awkward, and Shen Yuelan could see it, but she just snorted coldly and ignored her, because Shen Yuelan also wanted to know what Su Xin brought back from Tianzhu.

[Eh? I… I also brought back some of the Maurya Dynasty’s silver coins - Kashapanas. Because they are handmade, they come in all shapes, some are round, and some are irregularly square, but they all have patterns printed on them, and they look very pretty.]

[In addition to currency, I was also forced to learn a lot of Buddhist teachings by the local monks. They were originally sent a large missionary team by the order of King Ashoka to accompany me to China to spread the classics.]

[I couldn't convince them, so I agreed. Unfortunately, they all died on the way north. How could a mortal body compare with me? The monk in that team didn't realize my extraordinaryness until the end.]

[But it was too late by then. However, I brought back all the Buddhist scriptures they wanted to send me, but there was no one to translate and explain them. These things were just a pile of waste paper. If the owner likes them, he can take them and play with them. ]

[Hiss, why do I feel like you are also coaxing a child? ]

Chapter 271: Qin Conquers Han and Zhao

[No, no, this is all your illusion. By the way, what should we do next? Should we go directly to Yandi to find the transformed monster?]

[Let's go to Yandi first. We made so many arrangements before, but it was all in vain. It's really discouraging. It's hard to say whether we can find that guy in a short time. ]

[By the way, Su Xin, where are we staying now? ]

[This is the territory of Chaoge. This place was once the old capital of Wei State. However, it was lost in the Spring and Autumn Period and fell into the hands of Jin State. Later, it was passed between Qi State and Qin State, and finally lost its connection with Wei State.]

[As for the Wei State, I remember it should have lasted until the end of the Qin Dynasty. ]

[Yes, the Wei State was abolished during the reign of Qin II. However, although the state still existed, it had long been in name only. The capital was forced to move to Yewang in 239 BC, and was controlled by the Qin State and was a prey to its will.]

[I see. This Chaoge City has been through hundreds of years of wind and rain since the end of the Shang Dynasty. It has gone through many vicissitudes and has a lot of historical heritage. Shall we go take a look later? ]

[Master, if you want to see the Shang Dynasty Chaoge City, then the large mound under our feet is it. This is the site of the Lutai where King Zhou burned himself to death, and the small city next to it was rebuilt by the Wei State during the Western Zhou Dynasty.]

[The rest of the Shang Dynasty Chaochengge was either burned in the war against the Shang Dynasty or buried by loess long ago. Now, only this Lutai Hill remains on the surface.]

Shen Yuelan looked at the pile of yellow earth under her feet and fell into deep thought for a moment. She had a hunch that if she was willing to spend some time digging around here, she would definitely be able to get some [holy relics] related to King Zhou.

But Shen Yuelan felt that she should not disturb other people's peace. After all, King Zhou had been dead for so many years, and he was stabbed to death by lust, so the resentment must be huge.

If this shovel is used, even the soul will be dug out. Shen Yuelan couldn't help but think of Ling Ji. If she hadn't had enough goodwill towards Wuxia Town before, she would have surely died in Ling Ji's assassination.

After careful consideration, Shen Yuelan decided to go directly north and not disturb the peace of King Zhou of Shang. There were already enough ghosts in her family, and she didn't want to create another King Zhou of Shang.

Besides, regardless of others, how would Su Xuan get along with her ex-boyfriend? I'm afraid that she would be the one who would have a headache in the end, so it would be wise to stay away from this place as soon as possible.

Shen Yuelan and others immediately set out northwards towards Yan. Fortunately, they had a safe journey and the Ghost Emperor did not block their way again.

At this time, the State of Yan had already changed dynasties several times. The King Wucheng of Yan, whom Shen Yuelan was familiar with, had passed away for many years. The one in power now was King Wucheng's grandson, the last king of Yan, King Xi of Yan.

Shen Yuelan revisited her old place, but she no longer saw the former prosperity and strength of Yan State. The campaign to conquer Qi and Pinghu was ultimately just a flash in the pan. However, Shen Yuelan no longer had the leisure to feel sad and depressed as when she first arrived here.
