After coming out of Fusu's place, Zhao Hao guessed that Meng Yi would go to capture Xu Fu first and then Zhao Gao, so he returned to Chunan Pavilion alone without any thought of meeting him by chance.
After all, once you miss an opportunity, you really miss it.
Moreover, compared to the grievances between Meng Yi and Zhao Gao, the illness of the First Emperor deserves more attention from Zhao Hao.
Although the First Emperor has realized that the elixir is poisonous and will most likely not continue to take it, the erysipelas in the body still needs to be expelled from the body.
In addition, existing diseases also require timely treatment.
Zhao Hao must find a way for the First Emperor, otherwise whether he can live to the age of fifty is a question.
"Sir, are you done with your work?"
Laifu, who was standing guard outside the door, spotted Zhao Hao with great vigilance and quickly ran to him.
Zhao Hao glanced at him and said helplessly: "Are you still digging? What have you gained today?"
"I dug up a beam of light three days ago, and I dug up two more beams of light this morning. They should both be the kind of light that can be exchanged for items. Together with the first three beams of light, there are a total of six beams of light. Do you want to exchange items, sir?" Lai Fu replied calmly.
Zhao Hao pondered for a moment, then finally shook his head and said: "It's better not to use it. You can redeem it after you have accumulated ten beams of light. You tell Chang Wei not to work so hard, and to dig slowly, not in a hurry."
"good."
Laifu nodded, and then as if he remembered something, he asked, "Have you eaten, Master?"
"No."
Zhao Hao shook his head and couldn't help but sigh: "My eldest brother has been kicked out of Xianyang, so how can he be in the mood to eat."
"Ah, the eldest son."
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest. You can eat by yourselves."
Zhao Hao waved his hand feebly, and then walked straight towards the bedroom.
However, before he could take a few steps, he heard Laifu behind him sighing: "Hey, what a pity the beef the old prime minister sent us. This is a rare ingredient. I wouldn't dare to eat it normally."
"What did you say?!"
Zhao Hao paused and turned his head suddenly.
Laifu was stunned and quickly replied: "Master Qi, not long after you left, the old prime minister ordered someone to send ten kilograms of beef. It is said that the cattle from a village in Xianyang injured their legs and could not work in the fields. Then I reported it to the Xianyang Order and they were slaughtered and distributed to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The old Prime Minister wanted to invite you to eat beef, but you were not there, so he ordered some to be sent over."
If someone else invited Zhao Hao to eat beef, Laifu would definitely refuse on Zhao Hao's behalf, and even scold the other party for harming his son. However, Wang Wan invited Zhao Hao to eat beef, so Laifu didn't have to worry.
"This beef is a rare thing!"
Zhao Hao's eyes brightened.
It has been more than three years since he traveled to the Qin Dynasty, and he misses the beef he ate in his previous life all the time.
But in the Qin Dynasty, if you wanted to eat beef, you had to tuck your head in your belt.
Since Duke Mu of Qin, the Qin Dynasty has established the basic national policy of "taking agriculture as the basis".
When Qin Xiaogong reused Shang Yang's reforms, he made major changes in agriculture, laying a solid foundation for Qin Shihuang to unify the six countries and establish the first unified dynasty in history.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, his protection of farm cattle reached its peak.
Not only did he specially formulate laws in this area to regulate cattle raising, but he also conducted regular assessments on cattle breeders.
Those who raise cattle well will be rewarded, and those who raise cattle poorly will be punished.
There is such a record in "Bamboo Slips of the Tomb of the Qin Dynasty in Sleeping Tiger Land": In Jinke County and Duguan, each of the officials served an ox and died at the age of 10. If there is more than 10 oxen, one-third will die; if there is less than 10 oxen, and those who accept the ox will die at the age of 10, they will die at the same age. If there are more than three oxen, the official leader, the person who eats the oxen on his own, the order and the prime minister are all guilty.
In April, July, October and the first month of the year, Futian cattle are chosen. At the end of the year, a large lesson will be given in the first month. At the end of the day, the stalwarts in the field will be given a pot, a bunch of preserved fruits, and in case of drought, cattle will be given for thirty days. Those in the palace will be punished and those who are redundant will be punished in the second month.
It is based on cattle fields and cattle harvest, and the ruler is Cun Shi. There are lessons, and the best one will be given Tiandian Rixun Palace to govern thirty times.
What does this passage mean?
This means that every county has to conduct an assessment on cattle raising every year. If three out of ten cows die, including the cattle raiser, the officials in charge of the cattle, the county magistrate, and the county magistrate are all guilty.
And if the cattle are well-raised, they will be given wine and dried meat. If the cattle loses an inch of weight, the cattle-raiser will be beaten.
What kind of harsh protection is this?
When the cow died, even the county magistrate and the county magistrate were guilty, which shows how well the Qin Dynasty protected the cattle.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that Zhao Hao has traveled to the Qin Dynasty for more than three years, but has never eaten beef.
Now I heard that Wang Wan had sent ten kilograms of beef. It was all nonsense whether he was tired or not and had no appetite.
I saw him immediately calling to Laifu and saying, "Go and call Chang Wei up. Let's eat beef stewed with potatoes tonight!"
"good!"
Laifu nodded excitedly and ran away like the wind.
When he brought Chang Wei to the small courtyard, Zhao Hao had already set up a stove in the courtyard.
There was an iron pot on the stove, and the beef and potatoes inside were constantly rolling with the soup, giving off a rich aroma.
Chang Wei strode forward with a smile and said to Zhao Hao: "Sir, I heard Laifu say, is there any beef?"
"Isn't this in the pot? It's almost ready. Go wash your hands and bring the rice over here!"
Zhao Hao wore a homemade apron and held a spatula in his hand. He said to Chang Wei without looking back: "Young boy has been doing well recently. Eat more later!"
"Hey, I felt like I could dig it yesterday morning. I didn't expect to find it this morning. In the afternoon, I felt it again. I guess I can still dig it out for you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
Chang Wei said with a smile.
"You kid can feel light now? So metaphysical?" When Zhao Hao heard Chang Wei's words, he couldn't help but turned to look at him in surprise.
Chang Wei scratched his head and showed an honest smile: "I don't know what's going on. Anyway, when I'm about to dig out the light, I feel very energetic. If the young master hadn't told me to slow down, I could have dug all night!"
"You are really a weirdo! Do you have any special powers?"
"What is a weirdo? What are special powers?"
"Haha, it's nothing, I'm just talking casually, you go wash your hands and serve the food!"
Seeing Chang Wei's confused look, Zhao Hao didn't explain, he laughed and urged.
Chang Wei tilted his head and left the courtyard without saying much.
At this time, Laifu stepped forward and whispered to Zhao Hao: "Sir, I actually discovered something unusual about Chang Wei!"
"Oh? Tell me."
"Chang Wei and I used to dig together in the tunnels. Although we rarely found light, we could always find it. Now we take turns digging, and we can't find even a beam of light. Chang Wei dug it all by himself!"
"this"
Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment and said with some humor: "There seems to be no problem, right? Maybe Chang Wei is lucky?"
"You can say you are lucky once or twice."
Laifu shook his head, looked directly at Zhao Hao and said: "Four or five times, how can you still say you are lucky?"
"What do you want to say?" Zhao Hao frowned.
Laifu sighed: "I'm just worried about whether something will go wrong."
"Something went wrong? What went wrong?"
Zhao Hao looked solemn and stared straight at Laifu.
Laifu pondered for a few times and then asked meaningfully: "Master, don't you think those disappearing 'lights' are very strange?"
"."
Zhao Hao never expected that Laifu would have such thoughts, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing that Zhao Hao was silent, Laifu continued: "Maybe I am worrying too much. Those lights can only be touched by the young master. The young master should know those lights better than me."
"When did you become so cautious in front of me?" Zhao Hao looked at Laifu with a half-smile, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
"this"
When Laifu heard this, he suddenly seemed a little embarrassed.
Although he is called Zhao Hao's servant, Zhao Hao treats him like a relative. If relatives are cautious in dealing with each other, the taste will change.
"Okay, don't think too much. Just pay attention to Chang Wei's situation at all times. If you have any problems, report them to me immediately."
As if feeling that the atmosphere was getting awkward, Zhao Hao smiled and patted Laifu's arm. Suddenly he thought of something and immediately asked: "By the way, are Zhongxian and the others okay? Have you written to us? Can you?" Can’t you adapt to life there?”
"Zhongxian and the others are okay. They wrote a letter, saying that the eldest son asked someone to arrange things for them very easily. They didn't dig the stone pit, but were only responsible for carrying sundries. The new captain heard that they were the young master. The people are also very nice to them!”
"Oh? This new captain is very smart. What's his name? I'll have to thank him very much from now on!"
"I heard his name is Zhang Han."
"Zhang Han? That's okay."
"Young master, do you know this person?"
"Let's consider it acquaintance!"
"That Zhongxian and the others are so lucky. There are people taking care of them everywhere!"
"That's what I said, why don't you also go to Lishan and enjoy the feeling of being taken care of?"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at Laifu.
Laifu shrank his neck and quickly smiled at Zhao Hao: "I'll forget it, I still have to serve the young master!"
"snort!"
Zhao Hao snorted and said angrily: "Are you here to serve me like this? I've been standing here for a long time and I haven't seen you helping me?"
"Huh? Oh, sir, go and rest quickly, let me do it!"
"Okay, it's all done. Go bring the table over and let's start dinner!"
Zhao Hao helplessly fended off Laifu who came forward, then put the potatoes and beef stew in the pot into a jar.
Soon, the three of them gathered around a table, each holding a bowl of rice and began to feast.
A pot of stewed beef and potatoes was eaten completely by the three of them, even the soup.
In fact, the taste of beef may not be better than that of mutton or pork. It is just because it is not available in daily life that people subjectively think that beef is more delicious.
After eating the beef, Chang Wei touched his belly and said with emotion: "When I was a child, I never dreamed that one day I would be able to eat beef. If my parents were still here, they would be happy for me!"
"Don't talk about eating beef. When I was a kid, I didn't even know what meat tasted like. It's good to be full!" Laifu interjected casually.
Chang Wei glanced at him and said with a smile: "Then why don't you thank the young master for choosing you, otherwise you would have such a good life today?"
"It's as if you don't thank Master."
"I must be grateful to you, sir. My life belongs to you!"
"It's as if someone's life is not the master's!"
"Hey, that's what I said first!"
"It's awesome to say it first."
"alright!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Zhao Hao interrupted them with an impatient wave of his hand: "It's like this just after eating. Eat less in the future!"
"ah?"
The two of them looked bitter and looked at Zhao Hao eagerly.
Zhao Hao said with some humor: "When people are hungry, they usually only have one worry."
"But." As he spoke, he changed the topic and continued: "Once a person is full, he will have countless worries. Therefore, many worries are sustained by being full!"
"."
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
After a while, Zhao Hao suddenly slapped his forehead: "That's right! Isn't that what my father is like? Hahaha, I have a way to help my father cure his illness!"
