Chapter 12 Two Bells Theory
At this time, everyone was in a heavy mood, and how could they be in the mood to eat Qin An's delicacies.
Ying Zheng stood up and said: "Sir, I appreciate your kindness. Let's taste your delicious food next time."
Qin An said: "Village chief, you are leaving again."
"I just remembered that I had an important discussion with the village chief next door, and I almost forgot the time," Ying Zheng said.
"That's business, we can't be late. Let's have delicious food next time." Qin An said.
The village chiefs of the two villages are discussing a major matter. It must be a major matter. It may be a major matter related to the future of the two villages. They cannot delay it just for a meal.
Li Si said, "I'll see off the village chief."
Ying Zheng glanced at him and nodded slightly.
Immediately the two of them arrived outside the village.
As soon as Li Si saw that they were out of Qin An's sight, he immediately knelt down to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, the humble minister is guilty."
Ying Zheng said: "Get up. There are countless things that have not happened yet."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Li Si stood up.
Ying Zheng was actually a good emperor. He never killed any meritorious ministers.
"Your Majesty." Li Si whispered, "With Qin An's words, wouldn't Great Qin want to..."
"Don't panic." Ying Zheng said, "He said that I would die during the fifth eastern tour. This is because I took a lot of golden elixirs.
However, now I not only no longer take the golden elixir, but I also know that milk can detoxify the golden elixir, if not all of it, then part of it.
My request is not much, just live for three more years. In these three years, I will cultivate Fusu well, and I will eradicate anyone who is detrimental to Fusu. Not even Qin II. "
"Wei Chen will definitely do his best to assist the eldest son."
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded, "Now you go to Qin An and record everything he taught, especially the iron-making technology.
You should know very well how important this is to Da Qin. "
"Weichen understands."
Li Si watched Ying Zheng leave in a carriage.
Then he came to Qin An's yard again.
When Zhang Han saw Li Si, he cupped his fists and said, "Prime Minister."
"Keep your voice down, sir, don't let me hear you," Li Si said.
"No." Zhang Han responded, "Prime Minister, actually you don't need to care about what my husband said. He also said that I will become a general in the future and will commit suicide in the end."
"You will commit suicide?" Li Si asked in shock, "Why do you want to commit suicide? You are so good, why do you commit suicide?"
Zhang Han shrugged and said, "Sir, he said he surrendered because he lost a war."
"What war, did you ask?"
"I didn't ask. Your Majesty told me not to make you suspicious. What if I can't speak and it's revealed that this is Da Qin?" Zhang Han said.
"What Da Qin?"
Qin An's voice surprised Li Si and Zhang Han.
Could it be that he heard what we said just now?
Qin An came to Li Si and Li Si with some chopped vegetables and meat, and said, "You are still thinking about the Qin Dynasty. Two thousand years have passed. There is nothing more to say."
It seems that sir did not hear our conversation. Li Si and Zhang Han looked at each other.
"What's wrong with you two? Do you really want to know about the Qin Dynasty?" Qin An saw that the two of them were silent, "What do you want to know? Just tell me. Let's chat while we eat, and I will tell everything I know." you."
"Then we have Mr. Lao." Li Si said immediately, "But these meats and vegetables are raw. How to eat them?"
Qin An said: "There are no other kitchen utensils, only this bronze tripod, which can only be used to eat hot pot. You only need to boil the water in the tripod, and then..."
Under Qin An's explanation and demonstration, Li Si and Zhang Han learned how to eat hot pot. The method was very simple, but the sauce required careful preparation.
Qin An feels very contemptuous of the existing seasonings, none of which can be compared with the ones outside.
Especially those salts, which are thick and yellowish. Compared with the snow-white salt outside, they are many times worse.
Qin An thought about refining the salt when he had time, so that it would be as white as the outside, so that he would feel more at ease eating it.
Li Si asked: "Sir's hot pot is really delicious, but it's a pity that the village chief left too early."
"Don't worry, the village chief will be able to eat it next time." Qin An said, "The making of this hot pot is very simple."
Li Si and Zhang Han nodded, this hot pot method is indeed very simple.
After Li Si took a bite of the meat, he asked: "Sir, you said that the eldest son Fusu will be demoted to the border by the First Emperor. But everyone knows that the First Emperor likes this young master Fusu very much. How can he bear to demote him to the border?"
"That's not because the First Emperor was too angry. There are two situations recorded in the history books, that is, two versions. But they were all interceding for a group of Confucian scholars."
"Sir, can you be more specific?" Li Si asked.
Qin An nodded and said: "The first thing is that when the First Emperor killed a group of alchemists, a group of Confucian scholars were also killed.
After Fusu knew about it, he begged the First Emperor for mercy. You should know why the First Emperor killed those alchemists, so Fusu begged for mercy when the First Emperor was the most angry.
The most angry First Emperor didn't think so much, he just sent Fusu to the border, where he would be separated forever. We will never see each other again in this life.
Another incident is about a man named Lu Sheng who insulted the First Emperor. The First Emperor was furious and arrested a group of Confucian scholars. When Fusu learned about it, he went to the First Emperor to intercede.
As a result, he was so angry that he demoted Fusu to build the Great Wall at the border.
Which of these two statements is correct? Because two thousand years have passed, no one can confirm it. They can only speculate based on historical books which one is more true. "
"What do you think, sir?" Li Si asked.
"I don't know about that. Because my major is not history, and all the history I know is based on the content in textbooks," Qin An said.
"Oops." Li Si suddenly stood up, "Sir, I'm sorry, Zhang Han, come with me."
Zhang Han stood up and followed Li Si away.
Qin An felt confused, but did not follow him. This was someone else's business, and it was not convenient for him, an outsider, to participate.
"Prime Minister, what happened?" Zhang Han caught up with Li Si.
Li Si took a look at the village and said, "Didn't Mr. just say that the eldest son would ask His Majesty to intercede for those Confucian scholars? In anger, Your Majesty might ask the eldest son to go to the border.
As soon as the eldest son goes to the border, Qin II may ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, which will be harmful to both us and the Qin Dynasty.
So we have to stop this, no, you have to stop this, you must stop the eldest son from asking for mercy.
Even if it's too late, you still have to go to His Majesty and stop His Majesty from letting the eldest son go to the border. "
