Ji Fa took out the list of tombs that recorded all the Zhou kings in the entire Zhou Dynasty, and asked Ying Zheng to keep it for future generations. This move really shocked Ying Zheng.
Chinese civilization has always respected the dead, let alone former emperors.
It is indeed disrespectful to the deceased emperor to use the burial objects of various emperors, but for Ji Fa, this is not a big deal, after all, those people are his great-grandsons.
Not to mention digging their graves, even if they were picked up from the graves and sent to the army, those princes would not complain.
After a brief hesitation, Ying Zheng did not take the brocade silk into his arms, but handed it to Meng Yi.
"Meng Yi, I leave this to you." Ying Zheng said, "You and your gold digging team both have experience in tomb exploration. It is best to try to excavate a few royal tombs according to this list, and then compile the methods and experiences into a Register and leave it to future generations so that they can make good use of this wealth in future generations."
"Yes!" Meng Yi responded and stepped forward to take the brocade silk.
"However, remember that after exploring the ancient tomb, you must restore it to its original state." Ying Zheng warned, "Otherwise, you will not have completed your mission."
"Yes." Meng Yi responded solemnly.
King Qin is not a tomb robber, and his purpose is certainly not the treasures in these royal tombs. But in order to allow future generations to obtain this wealth, the method of breaking the tombs still needs to be figured out, but it is important to figure it out, and then restore it. As it is, it is also a sign of respect for the ancestors.
Seeing that the list of the tombs of various princes in the Zhou Dynasty was arranged, Ji Fa smiled again and said, "I heard from Li Si that he told you how to make gunpowder before, so you made a lot of firecrackers for blasting mines?"
"Yes, this is indeed the case." Ying Zheng nodded lightly, "Li Si once made an agreement with me not to use gunpowder for military purposes. It was only after I agreed that he told me how to make it."
Ji Fa frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Having said that, think about it, according to the thousand-year plan we have set, who can guarantee that many people in power in the future will abide by this agreement."
"This..." Of course Ying Zheng cannot guarantee this.
"Gunpowder and firecrackers are naturally very effective when used for mining and mining, but if used on the battlefield, the side effects will be thousands of times greater than "my weapon". "Ji Fa said righteously, "If we can't guarantee that it will not be used by evil people to cause harm to the world, then it is better to hide it together."
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and then said: "In this way, we can not only prevent future generations from losing control of gunpowder, but also leave a wealth to future generations like porcelain and mausoleums."
"Well, not bad." Ji Fa's expression calmed down, "I do have this idea."
"No problem!" Ying Zheng said without any hesitation, "I will seal these items now."
Ji Fa waved his hand and said, "There is no rush now. Let's wait until you have unified China before making any plans. What needs to be done now is to remove porcelain from the trade list and no longer show it to the world. "
"Okay, then we will no longer sell porcelain to the Western Regions." Ying Zheng said.
Immediately, the King of Qin formally ordered the Sima family to stop selling porcelain, and ordered Mengtian to strictly control gunpowder and firecrackers, and not to leak any information to outsiders.
Moreover, in accordance with the previous thousand-year plan, Yingzheng ordered Meng Yi to compile a "Secret Book of Gold Touching", which was to be handed over to Wei Liao and left to the descendants of the Cao and Sima clans.
The porcelain was left to the descendants of the Li family.
The gunpowder was left to the descendants of the Zhao family.
As for the Meng family, they left behind various secrets on combat tactics.
After the four people took the orders, Ying Zheng looked at Ji Fa again and asked: "Master, is the same thing true for "my weapon" and the flying crossbow? "
"'My weapon' must be smelted in the future. As for the flying crossbow..." Ji Fa thought about the fate of the flying crossbow.
Ying Zheng took out two letters written by Li Si from his arms and handed them to Ji Fa.
"Master, Li Si said in the letter that South Korea wants our flying crossbow equipment, otherwise it will not let Li Si back, and the trade channel will be blocked." Ying Zheng looked at Ji Fa and said.
Ji Fa quickly read the two letters
Then he said directly: "Do you have the intention to destroy South Korea directly?"
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Let's keep it for a while." Ji Fa said calmly, "It turns out that the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom are now under the control of South Korea. If we attack South Korea at this time, the descendants of Ji's surname will be affected again. Li Si said that Nei Shiteng intends to surrender, so you should meet him first before talking. Maybe you won’t need to take action to destroy Han, and this flying crossbow can be claimed as belonging to South Korea and attack them."
Ying Zheng opened his eyes slightly and asked, "Master, do you mean to use Nei Shiteng's hands to destroy Han?"
Ji Fa nodded and said: "The descendants of the Zhou Dynasty are dissatisfied with the governance of South Korea, so it is logical to let Nei Shiteng go to destroy South Korea. It will not only save you some trouble, but also give them a chance to prove themselves."
Ying Zheng knew that Ji Fa wanted the descendants of Zhou Dynasty to establish some meritorious deeds and retain some face, and Ying Zheng naturally wanted to give this face, and he also had to give it deliberately.
After deciding on a series of plans, Yingzheng ordered several groups of equipment for making flying crossbows to be sent to Xinzheng, South Korea.
The King of Han received the covenant from Qin, stamped the royal seal, and received the flying crossbow from King Qin. He was extremely happy. He declared that South Korea would not embarrass the caravans passing by South Korea in the future, and guaranteed that the caravans would arrive smoothly. Qin State.
A few days later, Li Si came back.
He returned to the main hall of Xianyang Palace with the covenant, but he was not alone, there was also a tall and burly man beside him.
This person is the former internal historian, Zhuge Teng.
"Zhuge Teng pays homage to the King of Qin." Zhuge Teng knelt down and saluted.
"The internal history is exempt from etiquette." Ying Zheng stood up and stepped forward to help Zhuge Teng up.
Zhuge Teng was shocked. He didn't know whether he was surprised by King Qin's peacefulness, or he was confused as to why King Qin called him "Internal History".
After getting up, Zhuge Teng presented the tribute he had brought and explained King Han's rude behavior.
Ying Zheng laughed loudly and expressed that he didn't care about it, and then invited Zhuge Teng to the study.
"Lord Zhuge, just now I saw you looking surprised in the court, but what did I call you?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Zhuge Teng nodded and responded: "The so-called internal history is just the past. The King of Qin had better call his foreign ministers Taishou."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "The prefect was appointed by the old King of Han before, so he is not a big deal here."
"Haha." Zhuge Teng was amused by Ying Zheng, "The King of Qin is the monarch of the Qin Dynasty, so naturally he doesn't need to care about the King of Han, but Luoyi is now a Han native..."
Before he could finish his words, Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop him: "Since the governor's statement doesn't count, Han Tu naturally doesn't count either. Luoyi is Luoyi. Back then, Lu Xiangbang attacked and dispersed the Great Zhou Dynasty. The court is the reason why Luoyi has fallen into such a bad situation, and I have been racking my brains these days to figure out how to remedy it."
Ying Zheng looked ashamed and quite sincere.
Zhuge Teng was stunned, and it took him a while to come to his senses: "Qin, King Qin, what you said is really the same as what Li Si said."
"Haha, Li Si is the envoy of the widow, and naturally represents the stranger and even the Great Qin." Ying Zheng said firmly, "You should already know what I think. Do you need me to repeat it again?"
Zhuge Teng's brows were raised, his eyes were dazed, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Qin...oh, no, Your Majesty, what Zhuge Teng said in the letter is true to his heart. If Your Majesty doesn't dislike it,
Zhuge Teng is willing to go to pieces for the king! "
"Okay, okay!" Ying Zheng said with a smile, "I already knew Master Zhuge's sincerity from Li Si's letter. You want to take Luo Yi to join the Qin Dynasty. This is a great thing for me."
"This is not just my decision alone." Zhuge Teng looked at Ying Zheng and said, "This is the unanimous opinion of the officials and people of Luoyi, without any falsehood."
Ying Zheng nodded, made a cup of hot tea for Zhuge Teng with his own hands, and said slowly, "The current strength of Qin is actually the strongest among all countries, and scribes from all countries are now willing to join Qin."
Ying Zheng didn't say it clearly, but he
It is alluding to the fact that the scribes entered Qin because of the great Qin's power, which is understandable, but the warriors, or the leaders of one party, all have their own land and their own loyal souls.
Zhuge Teng was not a fool, and of course he understood what Ying Zheng was referring to. He smiled slightly and said, "If Luoyi was originally a Korean territory, it would be disloyal for me to make such remarks, but this is not the case. Now the Great Zhou Dynasty is no longer Existing, as the leader of a party, it is my duty to find a good way out for the people."
Zhuge Teng was worried that Ying Zheng would doubt his reasons and sincerity for surrender, so he explained further.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "I don't doubt your sincerity, because even if Luoyi is not sincere and wavers in the end, it will not cause any threat or loss to Da Qin. For me, not to mention Luoyi, South Korea, and even the entire The world will all belong to Qin from now on."
The words were spoken forcefully and the attitude was firm.
Zhuge Teng was stunned for a moment. What he saw was not the arrogance of a young man, but the courage of a generation of heroes who could dominate the world.
Although it was just a word and a moment, the impact on Zhuge Teng's heart was extremely huge.
The legendary King of Qin was indeed extraordinary.
Zhuge Teng came to his senses, cupped his hands and said, "I had a premonition of this, so I decided to save the soldiers and people of Luoyi from the disasters of war."
"Very good." Ying Zheng smiled and nodded in praise, "He can care about the people, but he has a bad temper towards others, but..."
"Your Majesty, you mean...?" Zhuge Teng asked.
"First, Luoyi may not be able to escape the disaster of war." Ying Zheng sighed lightly, "Second, I cannot accept your surrender now."
Zhuge Teng frowned and asked urgently: "Why is this?"
Ying Zheng raised his index finger, made a "one" sign, and said: "The reason why Luoyi may not be free from the war is because its location is too important. If the Qin army wants to advance eastward, even if it does not pass through Luoyi, it will still do so." It serves as a place to supply military pay, and after years of being angry, don’t you, including the soldiers and civilians of Luoyi, really want to feel proud?"
Zhuge Teng's eyes widened and he asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean South Korea?"
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth raised slightly and he said, "If you were given a chance, would you counterattack South Korea?"
Zhuge Teng has not never thought about this issue. If one day he becomes stronger, will he break with South Korea or even start a war?
"Yes!" Zhuge Teng said decisively without any hesitation.
"Haha, you answered so neatly, it seems you have considered this matter carefully before." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Zhuge Teng nodded.
"From the perspective of Da Qin, if we advance eastward, we must take Korea first." Ying Zheng said, "That's why I ask you, if this opportunity is given to you, will you be soft-hearted?"
Zhuge Teng solemnly raised his hands and said, "Wei Chen will never be lenient."
"Okay." Ying Zheng stretched out two more fingers and said slowly, "This is exactly why I can't accept your surrender now."
Zhuge Teng looked confused. He thought that after stating his position, Ying Zheng would order him to attack South Korea, but the result was completely the opposite.
