Chapter 16 Informing Mengtianqi of the existence
Hu Hai nodded and said: "I really don't understand why my father always believes in Fusu so much. Can't I inherit the throne?"
"Shh..." Zhao Gao stopped him in a panic, "My young master, please keep your voice down, be careful that walls have ears."
Hu Hai said angrily: "I'm just not convinced. Zhao Gao, is there any way you can cure my good brother?"
Zhao Gao rolled his eyes and said: "There is a way, but I need your help."
"Just tell me what you can do," Hu Hai said angrily.
"Master, come here."
Immediately, Hu Hai put his ear to him, and Zhao Gao revealed his plan.
…
The eldest son's mansion.
Zhang Han told Fusu that Yingzheng was no longer angry with him and asked Fusu not to make Yingzheng angry again recently, otherwise no one would be able to save him.
Chunyu Yue learned that Fusu had failed to persuade Ying Zheng to release the Confucian students, so he approached Fusu.
"I've met the eldest son." Chunyu Yue saluted Fusu.
Fusu immediately returned the courtesy and said, "Sir, there is no need to be polite."
"My lord, is your Majesty unwilling to let him go?"
"Don't worry, sir, I will still go and admonish my father. I will definitely find a way to get everyone out."
"I'm afraid it's too late. I heard that they will be killed by His Majesty early tomorrow morning. Meng Tian will execute it himself."
"What? Don't you think Father will examine it?" Fusu asked, becoming angry all over.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Han immediately persuaded and said: "Eldest Young Master, you have just escaped a disaster now. You must not plead to Your Majesty again, otherwise Your Majesty may drive Eldest Young Master to the border."
"It's ridiculous." Chunyu Yue said angrily, "There is a minister like you who allows the First Emperor to take human lives indiscriminately.
Did you know that this would cause the foundation of Great Qin to be unstable?
Wait, what did you say? Do you think the eldest son will be demoted? "
Chunyu Yue reacted and was shocked.
He never thought that the First Emperor would demote his own son, the eldest son.
Once this eldest son is demoted, won't his dream never be fulfilled?
No, such a thing must not happen.
"No, the eldest son is the eldest son, how could he be demoted?" Chunyu Yue sneered, "Your Majesty trained the eldest son like this to become the next emperor." Chunyu Yue reacted again.
Zhang Han said in a deep voice: "Chun Yuyue, you are no longer an official of the court, how do you know His Majesty's thoughts?
As the commander of the Black Dragon Guard and His Majesty's personal bodyguard, I, the General, cannot understand His Majesty's thoughts.
Young Master, you must not make His Majesty angry, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. "
He wanted to tell Fusu that as soon as he went to the border, Da Qin would be destroyed, he and his majesty, father and son, would never be able to see each other, and Da Qin would also be destroyed.
Chunyu Yue was burned by Zhang Han's anger, but he believed Zhang Han's words. Ying Zheng was a man who dared to risk the disapproval of the world and abolish the feudal system. There was nothing he could not do.
Now only by letting the eldest son ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor can Confucianism have a chance to develop and the world will be divided again.
Therefore, Chunyu Yue tolerated Zhang Han's rudeness and said slowly: "Eldest Young Master, since your Majesty does not agree to let me go, let this matter end here."
"Sir, are you going to give up on them?" Fusu asked. "Sir, these people were selected by him personally.
If we don't save them, they will be cut in half by their father. "
Fusu didn't believe that Chun Yuyue had said what he just said. Confucianism had not always taught the world with benevolence and righteousness.
"My eldest son, please don't do anything you think is stupid. Your Majesty has made up his mind now. No matter how much eldest son pleads for mercy, your majesty's determination will not change.
If the eldest son insists on going his own way, makes His Majesty unhappy, and is eventually demoted, Confucianism will not be spread throughout the world, and the people will not be taught, and the people of the world will continue to live in water and fire.
Now we can only abandon them and save the eldest son. I hope the eldest son can understand.
If you have any resentment after their death, you can come to me and I am willing to take all responsibility. "Chun Yuyue said solemnly.
Fusu's ears softened, and he was moved by Chun Yuyue's righteous and awe-inspiring words.
"Sir, I also have this responsibility. If they have any resentment in the future, I am willing to bear it with you, sir. Now we can only try our best to fulfill the last wishes of the arrested Confucian scholars."
But no one thought that a conspiracy was slowly approaching them.
The next day, Meng Tian killed all the alchemists and then returned to Ying Zheng.
"Just kill them. Xu Fu is the only one left now. Arrange for them to go to sea immediately. Zhang Han, I will leave this matter to you. Remember what my husband said." Ying Zheng said.
"No." Zhang Han responded.
Xu Fu and his entire clan must be sent to the sea, and then Xu Fu must swallow all the golden elixirs, and then his entire clan must be killed and thrown to the sea.
Only by doing this can we not only preserve Ying Zheng's reputation, but also allow Xu Fu to exterminate his clan and eliminate Ying Zheng's anger.
"Meng Tian. You come with me, and I will take you to meet a strange person."
"Your Majesty, is this person like Xu Fu again?" Meng Tian asked.
Ying Zheng was immediately embarrassed. Xu Fu's existence would always be a stain on him.
Zhang Han said: "General Meng Tian, this strange man is not comparable to Xu Funeng. You like swords, and this gentleman has mastered the method of iron smelting, which can turn iron ore into molten iron.
In this way, whatever sword General Meng Tian wants can be made by Mr. "
"Really?" Meng Tian was moved by what he said.
A sword matches a hero. Men all like swords, not to mention that Meng Tian is also a great general.
"Of course it's true. Even if your husband refuses to take action, we have learned how to make iron and can make swords ourselves," Zhang Han said.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Zhang Han, why do I think it's not Meng Tian who wants the sword, but you?"
Zhang Han said sheepishly: "Reporting to your majesty, there is no man in Da Qin who does not love swords, and a good sword is often worth ten thousand gold.
No, it is hard to find. "
Ying Zheng nodded. He also loved swords and had at least a hundred swords in his collection.
But despite this, he still can't put it down when he sees the new sword.
"Okay, let's talk about the sword later. Zhang Han, you go deal with Xu Fu. Meng Tian, you come with me."
"promise."
…
Zhaojiacun.
Qin An asked the villagers to install a simple blacksmithing workshop, which was similar to the ancient blacksmithing workshop seen on TV.
It's just that there are a lot more molds. Once the molten iron is poured in, the semi-finished product can be produced as soon as the molten iron cools. As long as it is polished again, the corners can become finished ironware for use.
Li Si recorded everything in the blacksmith's workshop.
"Sir, everything is ready, but there is not much iron ore at the moment. If you need a lot, you need to ask someone to buy it," Li Si said.
Qin An said: "Use as much as you have. I only made this ironworks temporarily. It is very rough. If possible, it needs to be improved and made into an assembly line. In this way, the time and energy consumed will be halved."
"assembly line?"
"Yes, it means one person makes one thing, such as an arrow. Someone makes the arrowhead, someone makes the arrow body, someone puts the feathers on them, and finally someone installs the arrowhead and the arrow body.
Although it seems like a waste of manpower to make one arrow with four or five people, when the number is large, it greatly saves time.
Moreover, everyone only learns and does one thing, and basically practice makes perfect. The arrows produced have basically the same damage. "Qin An explained briefly.
So that’s it, this is the assembly line.
Li Si quickly recorded Qin An's words. He found them very useful and would definitely be used by Great Qin in the future.
"By the way, sir, what's the use of the box you put under the stove?"
"This is the bellows. It can make the fire more powerful." Qin An explained.
