After the two arrived, I first told Baichong: "You order people to go to Linyuan County, Qianzhong County, and Longnan to find a kind of ore. The color is usually blue-gray to silver, the streaks are gray-black, and it is soft and has a metallic luster. , called galena. This ore is a material for making lead shot. Using copper is too expensive, so we must find a way to extract lead."
Baichong asked carefully: "When will your Majesty want it?"
Of course I know how difficult it is to find ore in this era, so I waved my hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry, you go look for it first, and after you find it, I will tell you how to refine it. In addition, I will go to Nanyang County to find silver mines near the source of Huaishui. You will know how to refine silver." , but no rich ore can be found, I can definitely find it there, and then I will go and see if the smelting process can be improved."
Baichong was no longer surprised, and after saying yes, I let him go.
Su He was stunned for a moment while listening. Good guy, Your Majesty, you know where to find minerals that you have never heard of? Can it be accurate to a certain county? Simply amazing!
Seeing his dazed look, I reminded him: "Su He?"
Su He came to his senses and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I am here."
I took out a piece of paper and handed it to him: "The garlic brought back by Zhang Gou has been planted in the palace. You go and prepare some and transplant them into clay pots. Then go to Pao Jia to get some high-purity wine. I will have it ready when I go out on patrol. In the car.”
Su He took the paper and read it involuntarily: "In case of dysentery, typhoid, scratches with sharp objects, or obvious wounds, wipe the periphery of the wound with alcohol before bandaging it; at the same time, mash the garlic and soak it in alcohol. After about half an hour, the garlic will turn slightly yellow, pour out the liquid and let the patient take it..."
Su He was a little confused: "Your Majesty, this is..."
I waved my hand and ordered: "Just do as you are told. In addition, after the alcohol and garlic are used enough, tell the medical officers accompanying the army to use this method to treat wounds."
Su He took the prescription and left with some doubts.
This tour is my first time to live away from Xianyang for a long time, so I must be fully prepared, otherwise I will be in big trouble on the road.

The next day, Xianyang Palace.
This was the first time since I came to the throne that the court meeting lasted for three days. Everyone was talking about the matter of establishing a queen, so when the court meeting started, Ying Wu announced that he had discussed with the Queen Mother to make Li Shiyun the queen. Neither Li Si nor I When I expressed my opposition, everyone was even more surprised. Judging from my reaction yesterday, it seemed that I had a bigger opinion on the matter after my opposition.
But after all, it is the emperor's family matter. Ordinary officials and officials from other counties don't have any big opinions. No matter what, it is not their daughter's turn to be the queen. If she is involved, she will be suspected of taking sides. It is best to remain silent. choose.
"Because of the crowning and queenship, and the court meeting has not yet ended, in Taiyue, you can choose an auspicious day before performing the crowning ceremony and offering sacrifices to heaven and earth." I glanced at Ying Wu, who nodded slightly. After all, there are three major etiquettes. There is really no way to do it all at once.
Taiyue bowed and said, "I obey."
The busiest ones are Taiyue and Shaofu. One of them has to formulate specific etiquette, the other has to prepare the items needed for etiquette, and also take care of the officials and clan members who come and go.
The rest is basically a matter for the Ying family. The officials only need the officials in Xianyang to support the scene, so they ordered: "Officials from other counties must leave Xianyang today unless they have special matters."
"I obey your orders."

On the fourth day of the first lunar month in the sixth year of Qin II, he went to Yongcheng to worship his ancestors. On the way, he discussed with Taiyue and Li Si to move the ancestral temple in Yongcheng to Jimiao as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be unbearable to keep running around like this.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, I came back from Yongcheng and prepared for the coronation pre-ceremony, which mainly includes the following processes: wedding day, wedding ceremony, appointment, wedding ceremony, and ceremony. To put it bluntly, it means choosing a good day, notifying everyone to come to support, and preparing things. some type of.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the temple was crowned with a formal ceremony.
All the Ying family members and Xianyang officials gathered here. The servers were laid out, the rituals and music were playing, Ying Wu was the guest of honor, and Li Si was the highest praiser.
Before starting the formal ceremony, I could only stay in the temple. Queen Mother Liang welcomed the guests into the temple as the host, and then Li Si shouted: "Your Majesty, come out!"
I walked out of the hall wearing a boy's Xuan Duan, a belt, and a red and slightly black knee-covering robe, and stood in front of the crowned person's seat on the stairs. Li Si used a comb to comb my hair for the crown.
After combing my hair, Ying Wu came to me and Li Si shouted: "Shijia!"
Everyone congratulated in unison: "On the auspicious day of the month, I will start to add yuan clothes, abandon the word "you", and be virtuous. The longevity test is only for Qi, and I will introduce you to Jingfu.", and add a silk cloth crown.
After starting to add, he returned to the palace and changed into plain clothes, belts, and plain knee-covering clothes. When he returned to the palace, Li Si shouted: "Add more!"
Everyone congratulated again in unison: "On the day of the auspicious month, it is the time for you to obey, to respect you for your majesty, and to be virtuous. Your eyebrows will live for thousands of years, and you will be blessed forever." Add Pi Bian.
After adding more, he returned to the palace to change into Xun Shang, pure clothes, and silk belt clothing. After returning to the palace for the third time, Li Si shouted: "Three plus!"
Everyone congratulated him three times in unison: "With the correctness of the year, with the order of the month. Xian Jiafu. Brothers are here to achieve great virtue. Huang Lao has no boundaries, and is celebrated by heaven." He was awarded the title of Bian.
At this point, the ceremony of the three additions was completed, and Li Si called out again: "The three additions are my honor, and I have entrusted him with his ambition. The one who is the guest of honor."
Ying Wu took the wine from the attendant and offered it with both hands. I took a sip and handed it back to the attendant.
Then Li Si still shouted: "The crowned one will see his mother."
I got off the banquet, sat down at the south end of the banquet facing north, and took the breasts. Then I walked down the west steps and went to the east door to see Liang and give them to him. This process involves meeting the ceremonially identified mother, not necessarily the biological mother.
For example, the queen has no male heir, and someone else adopts one to her. It may be a crowning ceremony or an adoption ceremony. The queen is sitting here. After the ancestral temple worships them, they are legally mother and son. This male heir is also the legal eldest son. , everyone agreed that he could be established as the prince.
The sixth item after that was originally a word for binci, so it was skipped. There are two main reasons:
Firstly, due to the chaos in the world from the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, the form of naming one person by multiple names was gradually abandoned and did not rise again until the Eastern Han Dynasty;
The two words are used to refer to equals, but who dares to refer to the emperor as equals? It is not impossible for a transgression to wish you the happiness of the Nine Clan's ascension to heaven. Throughout two thousand years of ancient history, the emperors who left their mark were basically the founding kings of the country. This does not mean that other emperors have no characters, but those who can leave characters. This emperor must have had a blank period when others dared to call him characters. Combined with the first point, it must be after the Qin and Han Dynasties.
So I went directly to the seventh item, meeting relatives and ministers as an adult, bragging, and this item was over.
Next comes the happiest moment for everyone: eating.
After working on it for a day, I finally returned to Xianyang Palace. Thinking about the process of marrying the queen, I just wanted someone else to get Li Shiyun back for me! The ancient etiquette is too torturous. I dare not violate it in the slightest. Otherwise, even if everyone in the world doesn't poke my spine, Ying Wu will vomit blood and die on the spot...
