Chapter 419: Do you want to be the emperor?
Meng Yi frowned slightly and said, "Didn't Sir say that there are no materials? How to make it now?"
Qin An smiled and said, "Although I don't have the best materials, I thought of some other materials."
"what material?"
Qin An said: "Actually, there are many insulators, such as pure water, ceramics, glass, rubber, etc.
However, rubber is the best. It can be deformed at will and can be cut to as long as you want.
Ceramics and glass are not good. They cannot be deformed or cut at will, and they cost a lot of money.
A wire made of glass or ceramic can be used to make hundreds or thousands of wires made of rubber. "
"Sir, do you plan to use ceramics or glass?"
"Try it on glass first." Qin An said.
"Okay, we will fully support you, sir." Zhang Han said.
On the other side, South Vietnam.
Ever since Xiao He watched "The Conflict between Chu and Han", he has been apologizing to Liu Bang, and has been thinking about how to make up for Liu Bang.
Liu Bang didn't know about it. Even if he knew about it, he would forget about it.
You know, Liu Bang now is no longer the Liu Bang he was before, nor is he the Liu Bang recorded in history books.
He no longer has Xiao He, Han Xin, or Zhang Liang, and he no longer has Fan Kuai and other friends around him to help him.
In this case, why can't he be a county magistrate with peace of mind, why should he take risks?
Liu Bang himself also knew that the reason for the uprising was not because the imperial court had forced everyone to have no choice.
Now there are all roads, how could he gather so many people to oppose the imperial court for him.
Liu Bang didn't even bother to think about unrealistic things.
"Xiao He." Liu Bang found Xiao He.
Xiao He immediately asked after seeing Liu Bang: "Liu Ji, what's wrong? Are you not used to the life here?"
Liu Bang said: "Isn't it normal to not get used to it? To be honest, this place is really not a place for people to stay.
However, this is not why I came to you. I just came from Xiang Yu. This brother Xiang is really a hero.
An unarmed man dared to fight a crocodile. The soldiers all cheered and called him a great hero. "
Xiao He smiled and said: "He is indeed brave and invincible and a hero. Unfortunately, he cannot display his heroic abilities here."
"Who says it isn't?" Liu Bang said, "Brother Xiang just told me that he is almost bored to death here.
Now the mountain people in Baiyue have been completely conquered by us. Now we are farming with our people with the help of farmers.
The grain has been harvested, and the granaries are already full. When the next harvest comes, I'm afraid we will have to build granaries again.
I'm looking for you to ask how the imperial court plans to transport this food to Xianyang City? "
Xiao He said with a smile: "You really came at the right time. The imperial court has just received an official document, and even His Highness the Crown Prince hasn't read it yet. Apart from me, you are the first to know about it."
"Is there any movement from the imperial court? That's great." Liu Bang said, "Tell me, how does the imperial court plan to transport this batch of grain?"
"What? You want to be the person in charge of the escort?" Xiao He said with a smile.
"How can I do this? Aren't I afraid of meeting bandits on the road? It's Brother Xiang. He misses his woman and wants to go back, but he doesn't have any excuse to go back.
After I heard the news, I took over the matter. Liu Bang said.
Xiao He heard this and tapped Liu Bang with his finger. He didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing that Xiao He was angry, Liu Bang immediately said: "I didn't say it would definitely happen, but now the court has issued an order.
Do you think you can arrange this? "
"Yes, but the court didn't say to take the land route."
"Instead of taking the land route, why not take the water route?
, there is no waterway to Xianyang City here. Liu Bang said.
"Go by sea and land." Xiao He said, "The imperial court asked me to build a dock here, and ships will be sent from Langya Wharf.
Their ships would be loaded with various goods and sold here, and then they would go back with food and various goods here, which would save more time. "
"What a good idea." Liu Bang said, "Not only does it save time, but also the consumption of carriages and horses.
Who came up with this idea? It's so clever. "
Xiao He said: "The idea came from Tingwei Mengyi, but there is a shadow of the emperor's master here."
"The Imperial Master is a great talent. The Qin Dynasty is also grateful to have the Imperial Master. Otherwise, no one can predict the consequences." Liu Bang said.
Xiao He's expression tightened and he said, "Liu Bang, I've always wanted to ask you a question."
"You can ask any questions, my mother-in-law is nothing like you." Liu Bang said casually.
Xiao He glanced at Liu Bang angrily, then said with a serious look on his face: "Have you ever thought about becoming an emperor?"
"What did you say? Don't talk nonsense, it will kill me." Liu Bang was shocked.
If he had said this before the emperor's master appeared, I am afraid that his entire family would have been cut in half.
"The prince and Zhang Liang went to find what the emperor needs, so there are only you and me here. Tell me the truth, do you have the ambition to become the emperor?" Xiao He said.
Liu Bang looked at Xiao He speechlessly, and said righteously: "Xiao He, don't you know who I, Liu Bang, am?
I don’t want to be an emperor, I just want to be able to embrace everyone without having to worry about family matters, especially money.
To be honest, now that I have a good life, I can’t get used to living the same kind of life that I had before. "
Xiao He nodded and said, "I can't get used to it either. No one in the world wants to live the same life as before."
"So, how could I possibly do something like becoming an emperor? I don't even dare to think about it. Don't ask me this question again," Liu Bang said.
Xiao He saw that Liu Bang really had no intention of becoming emperor, so he nodded and said, "I understand, and I will never mention it again in the future.
Just now you said that you promised Xiang Yu to let him go back to see his wife. I can agree to this. "
When Liu Bang heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "That's great, Xiao He, I knew you would agree.
Tell me, under what name do you plan to let him go back? "
Xiao He said: "The emperor wants two things in total, one is rubber and the other is sugar cane.
Now that the sugar cane has been found, it will take at least two months until the imperial ship arrives. In this case, let Xiang Yu take some sugar cane and local fruits back to Xianyang City. "
"Good idea." Liu Bang said, "I will tell Brother Xiang the good news now. Brother Xiang will be very happy.
Xiao He, you not only helped me, but also helped Brother Xiang. Thank you very much. "
"Thank you, please go and inform Xiang Yu."
"Okay, I'm leaving first."
