If the train had started running at full speed, it would have arrived near Mount Tai.
But in order to allow the courtiers to better experience the wonders of the train, they stopped at all train stations. After stopping, they invited the courtiers to shop.
It wasn't until their wallets were completely emptied that Tarzan finally arrived.
Even so, it only took five days to get from Xianyang to Mount Tai.
After the ministers got off the train, they stood at the foot of Mount Tai, still in a daze.
Are they all here so soon?
Hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of sergeants arrived in just five days in such a leisurely manner?
They even had a slight doubt whether they had really reached Mount Tai. Could it be that Ban Xian found a similar place to deceive them?
We can't blame the courtiers for being suspicious, after all, the work of banished immortals... is really erratic. In order to achieve the goal, he can think of any strange tricks.
However, they soon put their doubts to rest.
Because they heard Qi Yin and saw the costumes that were slightly different from those in Guanzhong.
Although Ying Zheng has issued an edict, it is necessary to have the same text in books, the same track in cars, and the same principles in conduct. But there are still some differences in some subtle aspects.
The courtiers stood at the railway station and marveled.
Some people looked at the products brought by their servants, then touched their deflated wallets, and said with some emotion: "On the train, you have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, and after getting off the train, you have to visit Dr. Chunyu's shop. "
"I have given all my money to the two of them."
Others nodded, expressing the same feeling.
Chunyu Yue, the boss who was listening next to him, was unhappy: What do you mean? Do you think Huaiguzi and I are the same kind of people? This is simply unreasonable.
But along the way, he's learned not to express his opinions.
Because every time he expressed his opinions, Li Shui and Li Xin, two guys who were so bad that they were so bad, would take it out of context, deliberately misinterpret it, and then spread it wildly.
Chunyu Yue felt that he had a more thorough understanding of the four words "people who don't know but are stunned are not like gentlemen".
Of course, his face is much thicker than before.
Li Shui and Li Xin were like two pieces of sandpaper, helping Chun Yuyue polish them from time to time...
Ying Zheng lived in the palace.
This so-called palace was actually the palace of King Qi back then. Now it has been renovated and is very gorgeous, no worse than the palace in Xianyang City.
After all, the people of Qi have the advantage of fish and salt, and have abundant finances, and the king of Qi is also happy to enjoy it.
Those who can follow Ying Zheng and live in the palace are all close and important ministers.
As for the remaining courtiers, they stayed at Chunyu Inn.
For a time, Chunyu Yue made a lot of money again.
…………
Qi was far away from Guanzhong, and King Jian of Qi surrendered without a fight, so the damage from the war was minimal.
Logically speaking, this place should be home to many powerful families, and many of these powerful families harbor deep-seated hatred for the Qin people. Therefore, it should not be considered safe here.
But thanks to a series of measures taken by Li Shui.
First, a large wave of powerful people from Qi moved to Xianyang City.
The rest also saw the hope of entering politics through taking the imperial examination.
Therefore, those who really want to oppose Qin are a minority among the minority, and most of these people are stubborn.
As we all know, it is difficult to achieve great results if you are rigid in your work. After all, human society needs to be able to have both sides, and if people are careful, there will be no disciples.
However, there is indeed such a group of single-minded people in Qidi, and these people are really quite powerful and want to oppose Qin wholeheartedly.
These people are actually from a small Dongyi country.
It's a nice way of saying it's a small country, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it's just a tribe.
Ying Zheng didn't even regard them as a country, but only regarded them as barbarians in the mountains, bandits and bandits, so when he unified the world, he didn't even think of sending troops to levy them.
Therefore, this small group of people survived by chance.
Their tribal leader is known as Lord Canghai.
On this day, Cang Haijun heard that Qin Shihuang was at the foot of Mount Tai, and he quickly summoned the warriors of the clan to a meeting.
After everyone had arrived, Lord Canghai said: "A few years ago, Mr. Zhang once spent all his wealth and asked the strong men of our clan to help assassinate Qin."
"We have been waiting for a long time, but we still have no news about Mr. Zhang. Now Emperor Qin has arrived at the foot of Mount Tai. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, it will be difficult to find."
Some warriors said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Liang has not been heard from for a long time. How can we assassinate Qin if we can't find anyone? Even if the assassination of Qin is successful, he may not know about it. Maybe this person has died a long time ago."
"In this case, why should we take such a big risk to provoke the Qin people?"
Cang Haijun waved his hand and said, "Otherwise."
"Those Central Plains people always say that we barbarians have no faith and are like animals. Today we have to do a big thing with a promise of a thousand dollars, so as to clear our name."
Another warrior said: "But... I heard that Mr. Zhang did not die, but arrived in Xianyang City and entered Shangjun's Villa."
"A hawker traveling between Xianyang and Qidi said that Zhang Liang became the steward of the banished immortal. He seems to be studying hard recently to prepare for the imperial examination."
Cang Haijun looked at the warrior and said quietly: "You seem to know the Qin people quite well."
The man was stunned for a moment, then said with a dry smile: "I am responsible for buying salt for the tribe, so I know a little bit about it."
Cang Haijun nodded, and then said: "Mr. Zhang entered Shangjun's courtyard. This can't mean anything. It can only be said that Mr. Zhang has a long-term plan to cooperate with us inside and outside to mess up the Qin people from within."
The warriors looked at each other and said, "This... is not impossible. But... if Mr. Zhang really intends to disrupt the Qin people from within, why doesn't he contact us?"
Cang Haijun said: "Mr. Zhang has his own considerations, so we won't ask any more questions."
"But as far as I know, this banished immortal seems to have a close relationship with Xiang Liang. He is probably also a rebel."
After hearing this, the warriors suddenly realized: "If this is the case, it makes sense. It turns out that Mr. Zhang entered Shang Jun's Courtyard to conspire with the banished immortal to rebel against Qin."
Cang Haijun nodded.
But soon a warrior said: "However, the banished immortal and Li Xin are very close, but Li Xin is the general of Qin. What is going on?"
Cang Haijun said: "Since the banished immortal is a rebel, it is natural to hide his identity. Isn't it normal to pretend to be close to the general among the Qin people?"
The warrior hesitated and said: "However... I heard that the two of them live and die together, and they often bet with others together."
Cang Haijun thought for a while and said, "Perhaps this Li Xin is also a rebel?"
The surrounding warriors were all shocked: "Seriously?"
Cang Haijun said: "It is not impossible. After all, Li Xin failed in the attack on Chu and was ridiculed by others. Maybe he has held a grudge since then."
The surrounding warriors nodded: "This... also makes some sense."
Another warrior said: "However, Li Xin and Chun Yuyue are sisters-in-law. It is said that the relationship between the two is very good. Li Xin will visit Chun Yuyue three days out of ten days and pay homage to his sister."
Cang Haijun chuckled: "It seems that Chunyu Yue is also a rebel."
The warriors were shocked: "Seriously?"
Cang Haijun said: "Although the people of the Central Plains value etiquette, if you want to worship a deceased person, do you have to go there only once every three to five days?"
"This is obviously a conspiracy with Chun Yuyue under the pretext of worshiping the dead. And the content of the conspiracy is naturally hidden."
"If you can accuse someone, they can naturally discuss it openly. Why should it be so secretive?"
The warriors all nodded: "It makes sense, it makes sense. Just now I said that Li Xin was a rebel, I didn't quite believe it, but now I believe it a little bit."
Soon, someone else said: "However, Chunyu Yue is a Confucian leader. If he is a rebel..."
Cang Haijun said: "Those doctors are probably rebels."
"And please don't forget that Li Xin is not the only close friend of the Exalted Immortal. It is said that most of the courtiers in Xianyang City are his close friends. In other words..."
The warriors all gasped.
After analyzing and analyzing, they found that Qin Shihuang had been ousted a long time ago, and there were rebels everywhere in Xianyang City.
Cang Haijun said with emotion: "Mr. Zhang, you are really talented. I have only been in Xianyang City for a long time, and you can actually achieve this step."
While the warriors admired Zhang Liang, they also looked at Cang Haijun with great admiration.
Someone said: "Huh! Those Central Plains people always say that we are barbarians, with no strength but simple minds."
"But they didn't expect that we have such a smart and wise monarch."
Cang Haijun smiled slightly and said: "We are just too lazy to use our brains. But once we think about it carefully, will we still be worse than the Qin people?"
These warriors said one after another: "We don't know about others. Your wisdom, my king, must be much higher than that of the people of Qin."
Cang Haijun laughed.
After everyone laughed for a while, Cang Haijun said: "Therefore, we must act quickly. Otherwise, when Mr. Zhang launches an attack in Xianyang City and wipes out Da Qin in one fell swoop, we will not get the credit."
Some warriors said slightly worriedly: "However, if we act in private, will it ruin Mr. Zhang's plan?"
Cang Haijun waved his hand and said: "Absolutely not. The reason why Mr. Zhang has delayed taking action until now. It must be because he is estimated to be the emperor of Qin."
"If we kill this emperor, the court will definitely be in chaos. Then Mr. Zhang can calmly plan and change the situation."
"At that time, we Dongyi, as a great hero, will occupy a fertile land and become completely stronger."
A warrior said: "It's good for me to occupy the same land. After occupying the same land, all the benefits of fish and salt will belong to us, and we will no longer have to buy salt from the Qin people."
Cang Haijun nodded: "It makes sense, it makes sense."
However, some mature and prudent warriors said: "However, should we kill Emperor Qin like this?"
Cang Haijun said: "Didn't Mr. Zhang make a plan when he came here a few years ago?"
"Mr. Zhang just predicted that the Emperor of Qin was very happy about his achievements. After unifying the world, he would be very proud and would come to offer sacrifices to Mount Tai."
"At that time, we will choose a strong man and use a hammer weighing hundreds of kilograms to smash his carriage. The emperor of Qin sitting inside will naturally die."
The warriors said: "It is not difficult to find such a strong man. There are many such people in our country. But the key is... it is difficult to get a big hammer weighing hundreds of kilograms."
"The Emperor of Qin came too fast. We just received the news that we were going to sacrifice to Mount Tai, and he has already arrived. We had no time to prepare."
Cang Haijun said: "This matter is of great importance. This big hammer must be made."
The warriors thought for a while, and suddenly someone said: "I have an idea."
Cang Haijun asked: "How to say?"
The warrior said: "It is a bit difficult for us to forge iron and make hammers. But I heard that those Qin people can do this."
"Recently, there was a blacksmith in the city. It seems that he spent a lot of money to buy a new thing from Shangjun Courtyard. It can quickly make iron. Moreover, the iron is very tough and not easy to rust. It seems to be called something... By the way, it can be tempered into steel. .”
Cang Haijun said happily: "Can this person make a hammer?"
The warrior said: "Of course it is possible. It is said that his technology was developed by Shangjun Courtyard to make railway tracks."
"Of course, this technology is a bit old, and it's not very easy to use to make railway tracks. But private blacksmithing is still possible."
Cang Haijun said: "Okay, okay, let this person make the hammer. Money is not an issue. After all, Mr. Zhang gave a lot last time."
The warriors all nodded in agreement.
Cang Haijun pointed at one of the warriors and said: "Cang Sang, you often buy salt from the Qin people and know how to deal with them. I'll leave this matter to you."
Cangsang agreed.
Afterwards, Mr. Canghai began to choose strong men again.
…………
After Cangsang arrived in the city, she found a salt dealer she knew well and asked him, "Do you know there are blacksmiths in the city?"
The salt dealer enthusiastically took Cang Sang to a blacksmith shop.
It didn't take long for Cangsang to see the new technology and he was deeply fascinated.
Now he was completely convinced that this person was absolutely capable of making a hammer weighing hundreds of kilograms within a few days.
Soon, Cangsang found the boss and explained his purpose.
After hearing this, the boss pondered for a while and asked curiously: "Why do you want to use a sledgehammer?"
Cangsang said: "Do I need to ask this?"
The boss chuckled and said: "In the past, when your Majesty unified the six countries, he used to collect soldiers from all over the world. Civilians are not allowed to hide weapons privately. This hammer can actually be regarded as a kind of weapon."
"Nowadays, thanks to the merchant method of banishing immortals, the management of iron tools is not so strict, but it is still a big taboo to forge weapons privately. You, this hammer, seem..."
Cangsang coughed dryly and said, "My hammer is for breaking rocks."
The boss frowned: "What kind of stone requires a hammer weighing hundreds of kilograms?"
Cangsang didn't say much and just sent over a piece of gold.
The boss immediately beamed: "It seems that this stone is really hard, hehe..."
