Ying Zheng had a vague feeling that the two people in front of him had actually had a long talk and decided on this matter.
Now I just came to inform him.
This scene is very similar to the situation when his crowning ceremony was postponed.
But Ying Zheng didn't mind at all. After all, he was relieved of a lot of verbal troubles, and he was able to hug the beauty back. How happy he was.
"Uh...Senior Thumb, the betrothal gift you want is a bit shabby." Ying Zheng pointed at Si Nan, who was taken over by Thumb.
"Haha, it's just that this one is indeed a bit shabby, and it won't be enough to take it back." Thumb said with a smile, "But it would be different if there were enough and it was made by King Qin himself."
"Yes." Ji Fa also said next to him, "You have just learned how to make the Sinan and Xuantie snails. You still need to practice more by yourself, so why not make a batch of Sinan for Jingjue."
Ying Zheng: "..."
Is this shooting yourself in the foot?
Ying Zheng originally wanted to exchange for some expensive gifts, but unexpectedly found himself a lot of work.
Thumb still said with a smile: "However, Jingjue will naturally not fail to return the favor. Since he has decided to move to Da Qin, then Jingjue will naturally cooperate fully with the royal tombs and the Great Wall that King Qin wants to build, and they can be cultivated here immediately. Ice Gu!"
It seemed like an understatement, but Ying Zheng knew how determined Thumb was.
Ice Gu is the core secret and inheritance of the Jingjue Guidong clan. If ice Gu is cultivated in China, extremely strict protective measures must be taken. If it is not based on great trust, Jingjuejue would not dare to expose himself. The inheritance is exposed in front of foreigners.
Ying Zheng looked at Thumb and said solemnly: "Thank you, Senior Thumb, for your trust in me. From now on, Jingjue and Huaxia will be like one family, regardless of each other. Huaxia will also do its best to protect the safety of all Jingjue people, and All the secrets of the Ghost Cave Clan, and I will never deliberately find out.”
"Haha, that's very good." Thumb said with a smile, "It's just that I can't make the final decision on such a big matter. I have to wait until I go back to study it carefully before making a decision. Now, let's write a letter back. .”
"Yeah, okay." Ying Zheng responded, turned around and found some pen and ink.
The three people gathered together and wrote a letter to the Jingjue elders, and then wrote a separate letter to Wu Chan. Although the content was similar, the tone and wording were completely different.
"Let's wait for their reply. If nothing else happens, the elders' opinions are probably similar to mine." Thumb said, "But Wu Chan's own meaning is not sure. From what I know about her, she I may have to wait for you to explain everything in person."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Of course, when I go again, I will bring more Sinan and the construction method of the royal tomb."
After saying that, Ying Zheng looked at Ji Fa, his eyes full of expectation and pleading.
Ji Fa squinted at Ying Zheng and said in a deep voice, "What are you looking at? I haven't promised to teach you how to build a mausoleum."
Ying Zheng: "..."
"Haha, it's not difficult at all." Thumb smiled, "Ghost Hand is a natural expert, and he has to help the craftsmen build the tomb, so I'm sure he'll learn it well."
"You guys." Ji Fa shook his head with a wry smile and said, "So soon you all united to deal with me, an old man."
"Hahaha……"
The three of them laughed together.
Ying Zheng walked out of the tent and handed the two letters he had just written to Meng Tian. He also explained carefully that Meng Tian must send his most trusted person to deliver the letters and that they must be distributed separately.
Leave it to Wu Chan and Great Elder Jing Jue, don't get confused.
Meng Tian knew that the matter was important, so he carefully reviewed every word of Ying Zheng before leaving with the letter.
After finally reaching an agreement with Thumb, Ying Zheng was in a surprisingly good mood, so he ordered the entire army to repair for a day, and ordered the fireman to prepare wine and barbecue to reward the entire army.
Although the weather has cooled down, it cannot cool down the enthusiasm of the soldiers.
It had been a long time since Meng Tian and Meng Yi had had a good drink with the men of the Meng Family Army, so they became close to the soldiers.
Ji Fa, Thumb and Ying Zheng were sitting at the same table. They also relaxed and drank and chatted.
"Senior Thumb." Ying Zheng held the wine cup and said softly, "Relocating the whole clan is not a small matter. I mentioned it before when we were at Sand Mill, but you didn't seem to have much reaction at that time. , and now, why was it decided so quickly?”
Thumb exhaled lightly and said: "Actually, after returning from the Sand Mill, Zhehuai and I secretly summoned several elders to discuss the matter. Maybe you didn't pay too much attention to it, but the edge area extended outwards. After a few miles, I was afraid of affecting Wu Chan's mood, so I didn't point out where the previous mark was."
"No wonder you and Zhehuai looked a little confused that day." Ying Zheng said, "So you discussed this matter when you returned to Jingjue City?"
"That's right." Thumb took a sip of wine and said, "This matter must be taken seriously. When I had a detailed discussion with Senior Ji yesterday, Senior Ji also said that the spread of the millstone will become faster and faster, so Jing Zetsu also has to think about future generations."
Thumb's face showed a little worry, but it quickly dissipated, perhaps because he thought that Jingjue's way out had already been found.
Ji Fa also sighed sadly and said: "We can't compete with this power of nature. The original living environment has changed, so it's just a matter of changing to another place. People are not like trees. Our two legs can be used at any time." They can all move."
"Yes." Ying Zheng followed, "I heard that Jingjue's ancestors migrated from far away places, and now they don't care about migrating one more time."
Thumb nodded and said, "That's true, but people nowadays are used to being comfortable, and they guard impregnable cities and crowded markets. I'm afraid it will be difficult to mobilize."
"Let's tell everyone clearly about the serious relationship." Ying Zheng said, "If it doesn't work, we will take them all to the Sand Mill and let everyone see this real crisis with their own eyes."
"Well, this is a good idea." Thumb said, "If some people don't want to leave, then just stay there and fend for themselves."
Ji Fa shook his head slightly and said, "I feel that there would be something wrong if everyone just left."
"oh?"
Ying Zheng and Thumb looked at Ji Fa at the same time.
"Senior Ji, what do you mean..." Thumb asked aloud.
"In my opinion, if this Jingjue City suddenly becomes empty, it would not only be a pity, but would also arouse suspicion." Ji Fa said, "The best way is to sell it before leaving. Aren't you guys like Loulan Po? For the sake of friendship, and Loulan is quite wealthy, if I sell Jingjue City to Loulan, they will definitely get it."
"Hehe, that's a good idea." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Well, it's indeed good." Thumb also nodded and said, "But, after a few years, won't that place also be eroded by wind and sand?"
"At that time, China will naturally help the Western Regions." Ji Fa said, "And the money spent by Loulan to buy the city will be earned back in just a few years, and they will not suffer any loss."
"Haha, that's it, wait for me
After taking the ghost hand to create enough secret stones, he started the matter when he returned to Jingjue. " Thumb said.
When the topic of dense stones came up, Ying Zheng frowned, looked at Thumb and asked, "Senior Thumb, you only brought ten people here this time, and the demand for dense stones is huge. I'm afraid it will take a long time." It’s been a long time.”
Ying Zheng had this concern before, but he didn't ask about it.
"Actually, King Qin, you also saw when you were in Jingjue that the process of making dense stones is not too difficult." Thumb said, "As long as you follow the step-by-step and detailed operations, anyone can make dense stones. The real difficulty lies in Is the amount of juice produced by the Ice Gu enough? Therefore, these ghost hands I brought here are just for cultivating the Ice Gu."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng was slightly surprised, "So, the business of refining secret stones will be completed by the Meng family army?"
"Well, during this time, I still need to trouble Qin.
The king selected some people to follow the ghost hands and learn the process of making secret stones. " Thumb said.
"This..." Ying Zheng hesitated, "Forging secret stones is an extremely secretive inheritance. I'm afraid it won't be appropriate for Da Qin to learn from it."
"Haha." Thumb said with a smile, "The core inheritance of the Jingjue Ghost Cave Clan is the cultivation and use of ice poison. The process of making secret stones is not a core secret. The reason why it is not leaked to the outside world in the Western Region is naturally I am afraid that other countries in the Western Regions will imitate me, and then Jingjue will lose its advantage and status in the Western Regions, but in Great Qin, it is completely different."
"That's right." Ji Fa also said, "As long as we don't touch the ice poison, it won't have any impact on Jingjue."
"Okay!" Ying Zheng said happily, "Since Senior Thumb doesn't mind, I will arrange some manpower tomorrow to learn to forge secret stones with the Ghost Hands."
"Okay, come on, let's do it." He raised the wine prince with his thumb and paid respect to Ji Fa and Ying Zheng.
He didn't know yet that the two people in front of him were "Wine Masters" who could quickly decompose alcohol through their thoughts.
After the three of them had a drink together, Ji Fa poured down his wine cup, looked at his thumb and said, "If Jingjue migrates with his whole clan, it will be another great feat in history. However, I still suggest that you come in batches. If If there are too many people, it may cause unnecessary suspicion."
Thumb nodded and said, "That's right. When I go back, I will definitely make a detailed plan with Wu Chan and the elders."
Ying Zheng wiped the wine drops from the corner of his mouth, and seemed to have thought of something. He asked his thumb: "I still don't know what kind of environment the people of Jingjue country like to live in. How should I allocate land and resettle the population?"
Thumb thought for a while and then said: "The Guidong tribe is a whole, so it is natural for them to gather together. And if they make a living by herding, naturally some mountains and forests will be good. I think Lishan Mountain is good and can be used as a temporary shelter." So, let’s wait until everything stabilizes before making the next step.”
"Well, that's fine, then it's settled." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "The next plan is to ask Senior Thumb to cast secret stones in Lishan Mountain. In a few days, I will return to Xianyang with Senior Ji. Go explore the tomb of King Wu of Zhou, and after you learn how to renovate the tomb, I will follow you to Jingjue."
"Well, then Jingjue will leave some people to build Jingjue's royal tomb." Thumb said, "And I will personally select some outstanding tribesmen and come over first. With these people as examples, the rest will It’s very mobilizing.”
"Haha, this is a good plan." Ji Fa said with a smile, "Then let's work separately."
"Okay!" Thumb and Ying Zheng responded at the same time.
The three people raised their glasses again and drank happily.
