Chapter 179 At Sea



The caravan set out from Xianyang and headed south to Wuguan. All matters along the way had already been arranged. Zhao Qingrui and Yin Man were basically only responsible for eating, drinking and having fun, and they were very happy.

Even Ying Zheng was dragged by them to play with a lot of things and gained a lot of knowledge.

The convoy moved forward slowly and after a month, it finally arrived at Yumengze on the Yangtze River. Although it was winter, the lake was not frozen.

Zhao Qingrui had people catch a lot of fish and stewed a big pot of fish soup.

Ying Zheng looked towards the direction of Mount Jiuyi in the south and asked people to prepare sacrificial items.

"Father is going to offer sacrifices to Emperor Shun?" As the history books recorded, my father was going to Mount Jiuyi.

"Well, I lost my temper in Xiangshan before, and I am afraid I have angered Emperor Shun. Now the old man holding the jade has cursed me to die this year. I should go and pay my respects." Ying Zheng said softly.

He was not afraid that these things would take revenge on himself, but he was afraid that these things would hurt Zhao Qingrui.

"I haven't been to Mount Jiuyi yet. It's a good opportunity to go and take a look." Zhao Qingrui saw the complexity in her father's eyes. This was her father, so of course she wouldn't let him die easily.

Seeing his daughter's expectant look, Ying Zheng chuckled. As soon as this girl came out, she seemed to have endless energy. Every day she pulled Yin Man to look here and there, like a bird out of a cage.

This made him feel that keeping her in the palace was a kind of bondage to her.

However, he wanted to keep his position for her, and these were all things she had to do. She was different from others.

The scenery of Daqin is very beautiful. There are no traces of artificial carvings in later generations. It is the most original natural scenery.

After coming out, Zhao Qingrui has been in a good mood.

Although there were a lot of tasks delivered to her every day, she could still handle them as quickly as possible and then take Yin Man out to play.

They had no idea how to play at all. Zhao Qingrui and Yin Man prepared a lot of delicious food and also collected a lot of fun things.

It is said that the scenery of Mount Jiuyi is very beautiful and it is also the location of the tomb of Emperor Shun. She doesn't know if it is true or not, and she is really a little curious.

After offering a remote sacrifice to Emperor Shun, the convoy set off towards Mount Jiuyi.

When Zhao Qingrui arrived at Mount Jiuyi, he was so shocked by the scenery that he was speechless.

The nine peaks stand tall and majestic, with towering green peaks, dense caves, and flowing green waters. The natural scenery is very beautiful.

Shunyuan Peak is in the center, and the eight peaks of Ehuang, Nvying, Guilin, Qilin, Shicheng, Shilou, Zhuming and Xiaoshao rise from the ground like stars surrounding the moon, surrounding Shunyuan Peak and nestling closely against Ehuang Peak and Nvying Peak on both sides.

At the foot of Shunyuan Peak, there is the Shun Temple, with red walls and green tiles hidden among the green trees, towering pines and cypresses reaching into the clouds, and lush and verdant fragrant fir and bamboo.

After offering sacrifices to Emperor Shun, they headed eastward along the Yangtze River and climbed Mount Kuaiji, where Dayu died and was buried.

They paid homage to Dayu, carved stones to record his achievements, and spent the cold winter here.

There are no members of the Xiang family left in Kuaiji County today. Even if there were, they could not cause any trouble. Xiang Yu is dead, and Xiang Liang and his men are still repairing the imperial mausoleum and the Afang Palace. Kuaiji County is peaceful.

Ying Zheng felt that it was a bit ominous to hold sacrifices consecutively at the places where two emperors died, so he set out directly after the spring.

After the beginning of spring, a huge fleet set out from Kuaiji and headed north towards Langya.

During the days at sea, Zhao Qingrui exchanged a lot of fishing tools from the mall.

There were fresh sea fish to eat every day. At the beginning, Yin Man and Ying Zheng found it very novel and the fish tasted delicious.

However, after eating it for a while, I felt a little sick of it.

"Fish again." Seeing that the food served was all fish, Yin Man's face suddenly fell. She had really eaten too much fish during this period of time. She, who was not a picky eater, now had no appetite.

"Good boy, we caught a super big tuna today. I asked someone to make sashimi. Luckily, I found lemons when we were out playing. Let's eat sashimi today." Zhao Qingrui pulled Yin Man up.

"Sashimi, is it raw?" Ying Zheng looked at the dishes served silently. Today's dishes were all raw.

"That's right, I'll teach you how to eat it. This is the freshest." Zhao Qingrui nodded and enthusiastically began to teach them how to eat it.

There are a lot of fish in this sea, but not many people are willing to go into the sea to catch fish, and there are many dangers in the sea.

Only now the Qin army dares to come. These ships are specially built, and even borrow some ideas from Zheng He's treasure ships, so that these large ships can sail safely in the wind and waves.

The sashimi tasted unexpectedly good, making Yin Man and Ying Zheng's eyes light up.

Seeing that the two of them could accept the taste of sashimi, Zhao Qingrui breathed a sigh of relief, and then they started to feast on it together.

I didn’t eat these things often in my previous life, but now I can finally eat them to my heart’s content.

"There are so many things in the sea. I will ask someone to get more fish and store them." After coming to the sea, he thoroughly witnessed the rich resources of the sea, which made him even more excited.

"If you make it into dried fish, it can be kept for a long time." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

"With these fish, there will be more food on the table of the people in the future." Yin Man ate happily. The fish meat melted in her mouth, and the caviar that her younger sister asked someone to prepare was so delicious.

"There are more and more merchants going out to sea." After going out to sea, he could occasionally see merchant ships, and Ying Zheng felt deeply moved.

"This is a good thing. Customs tax revenue has increased a lot, and the national treasury now has a small surplus." Zhao Qingrui felt that this was a good thing and should be promoted so that anyone with the ability could go to sea.

You know, more than half of the earth's surface is covered by ocean. The ocean is a huge treasure house.

After eating the sashimi, everyone felt a little full.

During this period of sea voyage, there were various kinds of fish every day. Even though Zhao Qingrui asked people to eat them in different ways, they still felt a little tired of it.

Fortunately, there are many things in this sea, which can withstand her tossing and turning.

Tuna sashimi today, fried squid tomorrow, and some octopus balls. Zhao Qingrui ate everything she wanted to eat several times.

"My dear daughter, we are almost at Langya County. Let's rest on the shore for a while. I am old and want to eat some fresh dishes." Seeing that the fish was served again, Ying Zheng made a bitter face.

Zhao Qingrui was frowning, but she was also a little fed up with it.

"That's fine. It's a good opportunity to go and see the situation at the salt factory." Zhao Qingrui had no objection. It's fun to go anywhere. The salt field is now one of the most important places in Daqin, and she hasn't even been there yet.

"Yes, let's go and see the salt workshop. I wonder how Meng Yi is running the salt field." Ying Zheng also became a little excited.

Today, Daqin no longer lacks salt, and it is all refined salt. They had the salt fields built by people, but they have never visited them.
