Chapter 4387 Chapter 4389 [Sweaty BMW]
Xiang Nan then sent Cui Wenzi down the mountain. When they were saying goodbye, he cast a traceless stretching spell on Cui Wenzi's gourd and filled it with the top-quality Xinghua Fen wine.
In addition, he was given a double-sided bronze mirror, and it was agreed that if Cui Wenzi encountered incurable diseases, large-scale plagues, or his life was in danger, he could use the bronze mirror to contact Xiang Nan.
"What a magical method." Cui Wenzi couldn't help but admired when he saw this.
Xiang Nan cast a spell to make the space in his gourd so big, it was incredible.
Moreover, the bronze mirror can actually transmit messages thousands of miles away, just like face to face, and it is really amazing that the world is so far away.
…
After sending Cui Wenzi away, Xiang Nan went to Xianyang and secretly stole General Mengtian's war horse Heifeng.
Meng Tian was a famous general in the Qin Dynasty. He was familiar with military tactics and strategies. He led the Meng family's army to conquer the north and south. He was victorious in every battle and had a very high status in the court.
In the play, he also regarded Yi Xiaochuan as his long-lost brother Meng Tian. He loved and treated him very much, and even entrusted the Meng family army to him before his death.
It's a pity that Yi Xiaochuan has no ambition and has 300,000 soldiers and horses. He didn't want to do anything. Instead, he disbanded the Meng family army, leaving him alone.
Otherwise, as long as he holds heavy troops, even Qin Shihuang will be afraid of him, and he will not be bullied face to face by Gao Yao, Lu Pheasant, and Liu Bang.
The reason why Xiang Nan stole Mengtian's horse Heifeng was because Cui Wenzi's elixir was made from Heifeng's blood and the powder of Tianxing.
Originally, Xiang Nan was still wondering what was so special about Heifeng's blood.
But when he saw Black Wind, he understood.
It turns out that Heifeng is actually a BMW with sweat and blood. This kind of horse can be called a BMW horse. It is fast, powerful and endurance. It is the best horse breed in the world.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even sent a large army to the Western Regions in order to obtain the **** horse. No wonder Cui Wenzi wanted to take advantage of it.
However, why does the elixir of life need to use Black Wind blood? Can it be done with the blood of other horses? Can it be done with the blood of other animals or magical creatures?
You know, there are many potions in Snape's storage room, many of which come from magical creatures. Such as unicorn, poisonous leopard, centaur, phoenix, unicorn, dragon...
Xiang Nan still needs to study slowly.
After stealing Black Wind, Xiang Nan specially kept it under the villa in a space created with a traceless stretching spell.
This space is very huge and looks like a real grassland, with rich pastures and clear streams. In order to avoid the loneliness of Black Wind, Xiang Nan went to the Western Regions and caught a group of well-bred horses to accompany him.
This group of horses gallops in this space every day, just like living on the grassland, and they don't have to worry about natural enemies such as wolves, bears, tigers, leopards, etc. It can be said that they are quite comfortable.
…
At the same time, the total population of the Qin Dynasty was only 20 million, which means that one person in fifty people was affected by the omen. Moreover, those affected are mostly young and middle-aged workers, which is bad news for many families. Because of this conscription, many people's fathers, brothers, and husbands were forced to perform corvee service away from their hometowns, which made the family's production and life difficult due to a lack of labor.
After all, farming is a very hard work. Whether it is plowing, sowing, fertilizing, weeding, watering or the final harvesting and storage, it is very strenuous. Without strong labor force, it is impossible.
This is why in old age, when the husband at home is seriously ill and unable to take care of the house, the wife, after obtaining the husband's consent, will find a hard-working and capable man to come to the house to live together, and then marry that man after the husband dies. This custom is called "gang-gang".
Moreover, when serving as corvees, civilians had to prepare their own dry food, transportation, and clothing on the road. If they missed the deadline, did not arrive at the assembly point in time, or not all the people who were recruited were there, everyone would be punished accordingly.
The key is that this is not the first time Qin Shihuang has embarked on a major infrastructure project.
In 220 BC, which was the 27th year of the First Emperor, which was also the year before 2 BC, Qin Shihuang recruited hundreds of thousands of people to build Chidao.
The Qinchi Road project is huge, with a total length of more than 900 kilometers. And you must know that in ancient times, there were no road rollers, no pile drivers, no transport vehicles...all required human and animal power.
In 219 BC, Qin Shihuang recruited civilians to build the Ling Canal between the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River. The total length of Ling Canal is 37 kilometers, and it took five years to successfully dig it. In other words, there are still a group of civilians who are digging the spiritual canal in the south.
In addition, when Qin Shihuang first ascended the throne, he had already started building his own mausoleum; and after unifying the six kingdoms, he started building the Afang Palace. Both of these were also huge projects. Epang Palace was not completed even until the fall of the Qin Dynasty.
These large-scale infrastructure projects have already caused unspeakable suffering to the people of the Qin Dynasty. After successive expropriations, almost all the strong laborers from each household were taken away, leaving only a group of old, weak, women and children.
Naturally, the people were unbearable and miserable. Because of this, everyone who was recruited resisted, and there were countless people who escaped on the road.
In the play, when Liu Bang, as the pavilion chief of Peixian County, led the civilians to Xianyang, two of them looked for an opportunity to escape and were unwilling to do corvee service.
…
Xiang Nan also knew about Qin Shihuang's construction of the Great Wall, but he did not interfere.
For him, those peasants were indeed very miserable.
Not only did he leave his hometown and go to the north to build the Great Wall, but he was also very tired from the work. Because the Great Wall is built among high mountains, it is not an easy task just to move the stones and bricks used in the construction.
Although there is no record in the history books how many people died in the construction of the Great Wall, it is impossible that tens of thousands of people did not die in such a large project.
But Xiang Nan has long been used to life and death. Let alone tens of thousands of people, even hundreds of thousands or millions of people are nothing but passing smoke to him.
If he had to take action every time, even if he had hundreds of millions of clones, it wouldn't be enough. Xiang Nan doesn't want to be a superhero who says "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility". He is not that selfless and great.
If someone asks him for help, or something happens in front of him, he doesn't mind lending a helping hand as long as it doesn't harm his own interests. But if he were asked to take the initiative to help, make a special trip to help, or sacrifice himself to help others, he would never do it.
He is not a holy mother like Yi Xiaochuan. He knows who Liu Bang, Lu Pheasant, and Gao Yao are and what they have done to him, but he can still forgive them. He can even risk his life for people who have nothing to do with him.
He is a master who pays attention to repayment and never suffers losses.
So Xiang Nan didn't care about it and continued to practice his skills in the mountains.
