The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times
Chapter 423: Life in King Huai's Fiefdom
Not to mention that the officers and soldiers behind may catch up at any time, even if we continue along the official road, Yongyuan County ahead is not a peaceful place either.
The convoy moved forward along the path. After walking a short distance, seeing that nothing had happened, Lu Qingqing put her thoughts into the space.
She had thought that with the two carts of gold, silver, and jewelry this time, the space would be the same as before, but there would be a big change.
Unexpectedly, this time in the entire space, only the bluestone well and the mountain were shrouded in white mist.
As for other locations, there is no change.
Lu Qingqing stared at the white mist for a while and found that it was still the same as before. She couldn't see anything in the white mist at all.
So he simply withdrew his attention and turned his attention to the pile of carts on the ground.
Before meeting up with the convoy, Qin Lang only had time to pack up a few of the carts loaded with grain.
Most of the remaining carts are still piled up in the same place.
Seeing the changes in the space this time, she went straight to the two carts loaded with gold, silver and jewelry.
Thinking about the treasures that had been taken away by the space before, she felt a little nervous.
He glanced at the top box with his mind and saw that it was not completely empty, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
She then leaned over to Qin Lang's ear and whispered a few words, then got into the carriage and went straight into the space.
These treasures have to be seen with your own eyes and touched with your own hands.
In the space, Lu Qingqing opened the top box and saw that it was filled with various jewelry.
Of course, all the gold inside was gone.
But what was different this time was that there were still some jade stones left in the box.
She picked up a jade bracelet and a jade pendant, looked at them carefully, and wondered why the space didn't accept these jades.
As I watched, an idea popped into my mind.
Could it be that this space is dissatisfied with the quality of these jades?
To confirm her guess, she quickly searched the box.
After checking three boxes in a row, I finally confirmed it.
The space that was previously unyielding and not picky about food has now become picky.
It actually refused to accept these jades that were obviously of poor quality!
For a moment, Lu Qingqing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and she didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
She used her mind to move an empty box from the shelf and then began to sort the treasures in the box.
Among them, broken silver and various silver ornaments are the most numerous and are placed in a separate box.
Jade of lower quality is placed in another box.
In addition, Lu Qingqing also found many accessories of unknown purpose.
Among them, a pair of bracelets with adjustable size caught her attention.
The bracelet is beautifully carved, and you can see the diameter, but it doesn't look like it's meant to be worn on the wrist.
After studying for a while, Lu Qingqing suddenly remembered what she had seen before: ancient people would wear a kind of ring-shaped ornament on the upper arm, which seemed to be called an armlet.
She simply rolled up her sleeves and tried it on herself, and it really fit on her arm.
I raised my arm to take a look and felt very happy.
Our ancestors' aesthetic taste is indeed unique. This looks much more high-end than those modern foreign luxury goods.
Of course, ignore her hands and arms that were tanned into two different shades.
After fleeing from famine for so long, even though she tried her best to protect herself from the sun, getting tanned was still inevitable.
Fortunately, she is not too old now. If she settles down and takes good care of herself, there is still a possibility of recovery.
After taking off the pair of armlets and putting them away carefully, he began to look for other items.
There were so many different kinds of hairpins, hairpins, step-shakes, head ornaments, etc. that she couldn't tell the types apart.
After all, in the village before, most women used a wooden hairpin to fix their hair.
She didn't bother with it anymore and simply put all of them into a big box.
I packed all the boxes one by one and sorted the items into their proper places.
Among all the boxes, except for two that were almost empty, the remaining boxes were mostly half or even more than half full.
While searching, she found a dozen or so small items that men could use and placed them separately on the table.
I plan to wait for Qin Lang to come in and show him whether he likes it or not.
When she saw an inkstone inside, she remembered something and quickly ran to the desk of the dog official she had arrested last night.
In addition to a few brushes, an inkstone, and a token, there was also a small pile of letters on the desk.
Among them, the letter at the top has not been opened yet.
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing opened the letter first.
Looking at the intricate calligraphy inside, he frowned and tried hard to decipher it.
All I can say is that the evolution of characters is really long and complicated, and the simple characters she learned may indeed have saved too many strokes.
She couldn't recognize many of the words in the letter.
'Semi-illiterate' Lu Qingqing read the letter haltingly.
My half-guessed conclusion is that the war at the front is urgent, and no matter what means are used, we must capture more soldiers as soon as possible.
The second half of the letter also stipulates the number of people to be arrested and the consequences.
If it is not completed, Prince Jing will punish it severely.
Considering what that corrupt official did, he probably didn't even have time to read this letter.
Lu Qingqing saw the envelopes that had been opened below and began to read them one by one.
After reading all the letters on the desk, he managed to gather some information in his mind.
Now, the imperial army has successively captured several counties of the King of Qi.
Most of the troops sent by Prince Jing to support were also damaged.
Seeing that the imperial army was about to attack the city where Prince Qi was located, Prince Qi sent multiple messages asking for help to Prince Jing, hoping that he could send more troops to support him.
Prince Jing and Prince Qi formed an alliance, and the two sides had a relationship of being in a desperate situation.
If the Prince of Qi is destroyed, Prince of Jing will probably not be able to hold on for long.
Therefore, Prince Jing began to recruit soldiers, collect food, and collect various taxes in his fiefdom more and more eagerly.
In addition, there was King Huai in the south who advocated "clearing the court".
Seeing that the situation was not good, in order to show his loyalty, he actually presented a lot of Western gadgets to the emperor.
There are many exquisite gadgets in it, which are said to be very valuable.
Of course, on the surface, they only paid tribute to the royal family, but in private, they made arrangements along the way.
This move caused all the ministers who had originally advocated destroying the King of Qi and the King of Jing, and then leading the army south to destroy the King of Huai to change their minds.
Seeing the disdainful tone of the letter writer, Lu Qingqing gained some confidence in King Huai.
How does the saying go? Know how to bide your time.
Regardless of whether this person is her "fellow villager" or not, Lu Qingqing thinks this move is very wise.
The idea of storing up food and taking your time to declare yourself king also applies here.
Moreover, from what she had learned before, the policies implemented in his fiefdom were relatively more suitable for the lives of ordinary people.
After some thought, Lu Qingqing made a decision in her heart.
After escaping from Prince Jing's fiefdom, she will go with the team to Prince Huai's fiefdom to try living there.
After making the decision, she calmed down and continued packing.
After sorting and putting away all kinds of items, just use your mind to put them on the shelves.
As for the food on the remaining carts, Lu Qingqing thought about it and left three carts untouched.
