In Sima Mansion, which was Lu Buwei's original residence, Ying Zheng sat opposite Sima and his son.
"Lord Sima, how are the preparations for trade matters going?" Ying Zheng looked at Sima Hong and asked.
"Back to the king, everything is almost ready." Sima Hong replied, "When the weather gets warmer, we can send out the first wave of troops."
"Have the candidates been determined?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Definitely." Sima Hong replied, "They are all carefully selected. They are not only agile in mind, but also good in skill."
"There is also Liangzhou. We must build more post stations there to facilitate caravans to repair and transfer goods." Ying Zheng added.
"Everything has been arranged, and Xu Wan has also been notified." Sima Hong said.
"Okay, I'm relieved," Ying Zheng said. "The road is now smooth, and it will be much easier to immigrate there in the future."
Sima Jie asked from the side: "Your Majesty, if we want to immigrate, which people should we choose?"
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "If ordinary people are allowed to go, I'm afraid they won't be willing to do it. Let's order all the prisoners to go and open up the land. They can eat the food they grow themselves and avoid the temples having to support them."
"Okay, then use prisoners." Sima Jie responded.
"By the way, there is one thing that I want you to plan carefully." Ying Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, please speak." Sima Hong said.
"I believe you also heard what Li Si said about the young master Ying Yu." Ying Zheng said, "My idea is to change his origin in the history books."
Sima Jie frowned and said, "I heard that I heard about it, and I hope the king won't be sad. Please let the king know clearly what to do next."
Ying Zheng paused for a moment and continued: "I have given him to Xiang Yan, so there will be no more Ying Yu in the future. In history, there will only be the name Xiang Yu, and the palace should not know about it. History books This should also be done in writing, especially in historical records.”
In the previous plan, almost all history books were to be burned after unification, leaving only "Historical Records" to be released a hundred years later.
"Weichen understands." Sima Jie cupped his hands and said, "In order to more clearly convince future generations of Xiang Yu's identity, Weichen will compile a biography specifically for him and will never reveal his life experience."
"That's good." Ying Zheng nodded slightly, "As for the occasional troubles, you should deal with them."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Father and son responded in unison.
Back in the palace, Ying Zheng received a letter from Zhuge Teng, which stated that he had used a trick to convince the King of Han to send Han Fei to Qin, and Han Fei would set off from Xinzheng in the near future.
Ying Zheng was overjoyed and quickly went to Li Si to discuss how to make Han Fei the ruler of Qin.
"Sir, Han Fei will come to Xianyang soon." Ying Zheng said to Li Si with a smile.
"Yes, Wei Chen has also heard about it." Li Si said, "The king wants to find a replacement for Lord Changping, but I don't know yet whether Han Fei is willing."
"If he is willing, that's fine." Ying Zheng said calmly, "But if he is not willing, then we cannot easily let him return to South Korea."
Li Si was not surprised by Ying Zheng's thoughts: "It is certainly possible to keep him in Da Qin, but our goal has not been achieved."
Ying Zheng thought for a while, looked into Li Si's eyes, and asked, "If he is unwilling, attract him to be willing. If that doesn't work, how about you take up the post of prime minister?"
"Then what should we do about Tiancheng?" Li Si asked.
"For the time being, things in front of us are still very busy." Ying Zheng said, "Besides, the biggest thing right now is to complete the great cause of unification."
"Okay." Li Si smiled slightly, "Since the master is already waiting by the king's side, the minister can help the king better control the government."
"Haha, this is best." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Then let's plan how to deal with Han Fei."
"good."
Ichiban Shang
After the discussion, the two rode horses to Lishan Mountain.
The equipment used to make the "I-Kai" is also stored here.
The plan of the two is to show Han Fei something that other countries do not have, and the equipment used to make "my weapon" can undoubtedly explain the problem well. Moreover, there are royal tombs under construction in Lishan Mountain, as well as rare secrets. stone.
Seeing Thumb, Ying Zheng stepped forward and bowed: "Uncle Thumb, you have worked hard these days. How is everything here?"
"Haha, everything is fine." Thumb said with a smile, "This winter, the craftsmen have learned how to make dense stones. It seems that the Ghost Cave Clan has a successor."
"Haha." Ying Zheng also said with a smile, "Uncle Thumb is joking. This skill of making dense stones will never be spread to outsiders. These craftsmen will definitely not leak it to the outside world. Besides, Jingjue may still return it in the future. If you want to move here, you must protect it well."
"The king has really decided?" Thumb confirmed again.
"Well, it's decided." Ying Zheng said sincerely, "The entire Jingjue clan can move to Da Qin as a whole. It depends on whether you are willing."
"Okay." Thumb said overjoyed, "Then I will go back and mobilize them to make an early decision."
"In just a few days, the first wave of caravans will set off. Senior Thumb, please go back with the caravans." Li Si said from the side.
"Well, that's settled then." Thumb said with a smile.
Then, Ying Zheng, accompanied by Thumb, looked at the dense stones made by the craftsmen, and couldn't help but feel very good. With the dense stones, the construction of the royal tomb can continue.
Following Ying Zheng back to Xianyang, after a short rest, Thumb set off with the first wave of trade teams.
There are thousands of people in this team, most of them are sergeants selected by Sima Hong, a few are capable people with both civil and military skills, and there are almost no pure businessmen.
As for the merchants, they only need to be responsible for purchasing goods in the early stage. When the Silk Road is running well, they can then follow the team to the Western Regions.
Ying Zheng wrote a long letter and gave his thumb to Wu Chan.
It contains the situation of the ghost hands, his own current situation, and the details of the trade. The only thing that is not mentioned is the gift of maple leaves to Hu Yu.
After a spring rain, everything begins to recover.
On this day, Ying Zheng finally welcomed Han Fei.
"Foreign Minister Han Fei, please pay your respects to the King of Qin." Han Fei still stuttered.
The ministers in the court looked at Han Fei with contempt. Their expressions seemed to say: Han Fei stutters like this, I wonder if Han Fei has real talent or learning.
"No courtesy." Ying Zheng raised his hand and said, "I wonder why Mr. Han Fei is here?"
It's really pretending to be confused while pretending to understand.
"The foreign minister is ordered by King Han to come to help Qin build the canal." Han Fei slowed down and said.
"I have seen the drawings you modified before." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "But if you can help repair the canal in person, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
"Prince of Qin." Han Fei tried to slow down his speaking speed so as not to stutter.
Ying Zheng looked to one side of the hall and said, "Is Zheng Guo here?"
Zheng Guo walked out from the crowd, cupped his hands and said, "I am here."
"Han Fei has come to help us. From now on, you must work together to repair the canal as quickly as possible."
"I respect the king's order." Zheng Guo said with cupped hands.
"Just tell me what's missing. This canal can't even defeat the Qin Dynasty. Even Lu Buwei's private property can't be used." Ying Zheng joked.
Han Fei smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "The King of Qin is joking. It is Han Fei's blessing to be able to build canals for the people of Qin."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "If we didn't just build the canal, wouldn't we be blessed even more?"
Han Fei was so smart, how could he not understand what Ying Zheng meant, but he pretended not to know and asked, "What does King Qin mean by this?"
"Haha." Ying Zheng smiled lightly, "How about you join the Qin Dynasty as an official like Zheng Guo?"
After hearing this, Han Fei seemed very calm, as if he had anticipated Ying Zheng's intention: "Forgive me for speaking frankly, but I don't want to. Among the seven heroes, South Korea is the weakest, and Han Fei is
The royal family should make it their mission to prosper and strengthen Korea. "
"If South Korea is a powerful country, Han Fei can still choose according to his own wishes."
"But South Korea is weak. If Han Fei serves another country for his own selfish interests, he will definitely be shamed by the world."
Han Fei said these words very seriously and slowly, but he didn't stutter at all.
"Haha, you are ambitious." Ying Zheng said with an undiminished smile, "But have you ever thought about whether it is easier for South Korea to become stronger by relying on itself or by relying on the Qin Dynasty? If you serve as an official in the Qin Dynasty, will it bring benefits to South Korea? Isn’t it more?”
After a few words, Han Fei was speechless.
Indeed, if South Korea could become stronger by relying on its own strength, it would have done so long ago, and it would never have fallen to the bottom of the Seven Heroes.
And with the help of the power of other countries, it can develop faster, and trade is an opportunity.
"You have been traveling all the way and are tired from the journey, so you should have a good rest for a day. Tomorrow I will take you around and get familiar with Xianyang City." Ying Zheng spoke to ease Han Fei's embarrassment.
"yes."
After leaving the main hall, all the ministers came forward to greet Han Fei one after another. They were very polite, which made Han Fei feel very cordial.
In the next two days, Ying Zheng personally accompanied Han Fei throughout Xianyang City.
On the third day, Ying Zheng accompanied Han Fei to Lishan.
"How have you been in Xianyang these two days?" Ying Zheng asked, looking at Han Fei walking side by side.
"Great Qin deserves to be called Great Qin." Han Fei said, "It is true that the country is rich and the people are strong, but I don't know what King Qin brought me to Lishan to see."
"You must have heard that my royal tomb is built there." Ying Zheng said, "And this royal tomb can be said to be the most magnificent and mysterious royal tomb currently."
"Oh?" Han Fei said slightly surprised, "I'll have to see it first."
"Haha, you'll see it soon." Ying Zheng smiled and speeded up his horse.
Arriving at Lishan, Ying Zheng took Han Fei around the royal tomb again.
Han Fei spoke very little and carefully observed every detail.
After a week of patrolling, Ying Zheng and Han Fei returned to the big tent.
"How do you feel, Brother Han?" After a few days of getting along, Ying Zheng's title has also been changed.
"This royal mausoleum is indeed very majestic as King Qin said. The foundation alone is jaw-dropping." Han Fei said, "If it is completed, it will be even more impressive."
"Actually, this royal tomb is just a copy." Ying Zheng didn't shy away from it. "There are many key links now that even I can't figure out."
"Copy?" Han Fei said in surprise, "Is there such a huge mausoleum in the Qin Dynasty?"
"Yes." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Can you guess which tomb it is?"
Han Fei couldn't believe it for a moment. Similar royal tombs should be very famous, but he had never heard of them.
"Could it be built by an emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty? However, the Great Zhou Dynasty's national power has declined and there is no such financial resources at all." Han Fei analyzed, "However, it may also be the Western Zhou Dynasty, or earlier."
"Haha, let me tell you, it is the tomb of King Wu of Zhou." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"The Mausoleum of King Wu?" Han Fei said, "No wonder, at that time, it was indeed possible."
"I'll take you to see it when you get back." Ying Zheng gradually aroused Han Fei's curiosity.
"Then it's King Lao Qin." Han Fei cupped his hands and said, "But what are the equipment on the side of the military camp used for?"
"That's for making ancient magic weapons." Ying Zheng was quite calm, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.
"Ancient magic weapon?" Han Fei's eyes widened, and he looked quite surprised.
