Chen Ke rubbed his nose, which still felt a little itchy.
He scratched his head in confusion.
"what happened?"
"Although the weather has cooled down recently, I'm wearing quite thick clothes. I won't catch a cold, right?"
Chen Ke shook his head and didn't think about it.
He lowered his head and began to deal with the things in his hands.
............
On the way to Xianyang City
A dark-skinned man in tattered clothes, not very skilled, was riding a horse at high speed.
Beside him were several strong men who looked very powerful.
The strong man had a knife on his body and something on his horse.
This dark man is Xu Fu.
"Xilulu——"
The horse's hoof fell, Xu Fowler stopped there, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He exhaled softly, touched the thing in his arms, and looked solemn.
"How far is it from Xianyang City now?"
The strong man on the side glanced at the map of Kanyu in his hand, and then said solemnly: "If we follow the current speed, we can probably reach Xianyang City in ten days."
Ten days later?
Xu Fu counted the days silently in his heart, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
It is now the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and more than ten days have passed and it will be the end of the twelfth lunar month.
Along the way, he heard widespread rumors.
The First Emperor ordered that the first month of the first month be changed to the first day of the year, and the first day of the first month to be the "New Year".
The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month is the "eve of the year".
The First Emperor specially granted happiness to all the people, and on the "evening day" thousands of families could be reunited.
Therefore, in the twelfth lunar month, many people have already begun to rush towards their hometown.
They all want to reunite with their families on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, the "evening day".
What Xu Fu values is is another thing about "Xi Ri".
On the "evening day", the First Emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials to offer sacrifices, one to offer sacrifices to God and the other to offer sacrifices to their ancestors.
Xu Fu touched the bag wrapped around his back again and deliberately put the things in his arms.
Among them, there was something he wanted to dedicate to the emperor.
Divine object!
This is the divine object that he found after being guided by Chen Ke and Shaofu Chen to go to the land of Baiyue and go through untold hardships, travel through mountains and rivers, and narrowly escape death.
Improved varieties.
For some unknown reason, this seed grows at the junction of the land of Baiyue and the border land of Great Qin, and can be harvested three times a year.
With this thing, Da Qin is even more powerful.
Grain has always been a good thing to offer sacrifices to God, so Xu Fu knew that if he rushed to Xianyang before sunset, he could offer this gift.
You must be able to get more rewards.
Xu Fu closed his eyes slightly, and what happened a few months ago reappeared in his mind.
A few months ago, the land of Baiyue.
At that time, Xu Fu had just arrived in the land of Baiyue. With his ability to speak like a lotus and his ability to deceive people, he successfully deceived the leader of Dongyue.
Became the "God's Messenger" there.
After curing several East Vietnamese nobles with the help of his own medical skills and some medicinal herbs brought from Da Qin, the people there already trusted him very much.
And he also successfully found the mountainous land where rice was hidden.
When Xu Fu saw the rice fields all over the mountains and the seeds falling on the ground, he forcibly suppressed his smile in front of the Dongyue people.
After collecting some rice seeds, Xu Fu deceived the people of Dongyue, saying that he had received the will of the goddess and wanted to go to the sacred mountain.
This time can be as short as one and a half years, or as long as three to five years.
When he comes back, he will bring the latest will of the Goddess.
Those barbarian East Vietnamese believed it.
So, Xu Fu found the people of Heibingtai who were secretly protecting him and monitoring him.
After that, he rushed towards Xianyang City day and night.
"Mr. Xu?"
"Mr. Xu?!"
The voice calling his name pulled Xu Fu out of his memories.
Shen San had a cautious look on his face: "Sir, it's time for us to leave."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time for the sacrifice."
Xu Fu took a look at the seemingly endless road and exhaled.
"call."
"Walk!"
"Even if we have to travel under starry night, we must get to Xianyang City before the sacrifice!"
"Be sure to give this to His Majesty before offering sacrifices!"
The other strong men nodded, with expressions of respect and admiration on their faces.
"Walk!"
"Xilulu——"
The horse brayed again, and a burst of dust rose up on the road, galloping away into the distance.
.........
Xianyang City Chen Mansion
Chen Ke looked at Han Tan standing in front of him with a look of confusion on his face.
He looked at Han Tan and said, "Han Fu Ling, what are you talking about?"
"I didn't hear you clearly just now, can you say it again?"
Han Tan still had a decent smile on his face. He looked at Chen Ke and said unhurriedly.
"Young Master, Your Majesty orders your servant to give this thing to you."
"I told you to find some time to handle these government affairs. You can handle them anytime."
Chen Ke nodded: "Yes, I can understand this."
"But I remember you just said something else?"
Han Tan smiled and continued: "Yes."
"His Majesty said that he will use it when he goes to court tomorrow morning."
Chen Ke looked at Han Tan speechlessly: "Han Fu Ling, do you think this is appropriate?"
"Let me find some time to deal with it myself, but if it's going to be used tomorrow morning, doesn't that mean I'm going to have to deal with it tonight????"
"Tomorrow is the big court meeting that happens every ten days. I will get up at nine o'clock."
"Then why should I sleep?"
Looking at Chen Ke with a collapsed face, Han Tan suppressed the smile in his heart.
He lowered his head and said, "I don't even know."
"Young Master, I'm just conveying His Majesty's wishes."
"His Majesty also said that if the young master has any opinions on this matter, he can go to Zhangtai Palace to find him."
"Your Majesty can wait for the young master today until Yinshi."
Chen Ke immediately put away his grievances and said directly: "Ahem."
"I was joking with Han Fuling just now."
"I don't have any problem with that."
Han Tan nodded: "That's good."
"If there is nothing else in the Young Mansion, I will go back and resume my duties."
Chen Ke glanced at Han Tan and asked in a low voice: "Order Han, why did your Majesty suddenly think of throwing a bunch of things at me and ask me to deal with it so urgently?"
"Can you reveal a little bit about it?"
Han Tan also whispered: "Young Master, Dr. Zuo and Dr. Lin entered the palace today."
"After dedicating the ship, Your Majesty will reward them both."
"The two of them asked your majesty to let the people from Heibingtai investigate the frame-up. By the way, they asked your majesty to find people from the Gongshu clan to improve the ship."
"After they left, His Majesty said that it was you, the young master, who taught them bad things."
"That's why I was asked to arrange these things for the young master."
After hearing Han Tan's explanation, the corners of Chen Ke's eyes twitched slightly, and he looked up to the sky helplessly and sighed.
"Senior brother harmed me!"
After Han Tan left, Chen Ke rolled his eyes helplessly.
He muttered in a low voice: "I really didn't expect that His Majesty would be so revengeful. He is simply more petty than me."
"never mind."
“Just deal with things, who hasn’t had an all-nighter yet?”
Chen Ke stretched out.
Fortunately, he slept a lot during the day today.
Even without these tasks, he might not be able to sleep at night.
I just couldn't sleep and fished, and I was forced to deal with government affairs...
There are still some differences.
............
Zhangtai Palace
When Ying Zheng heard that Han Tan was back, he put down his government affairs.
He raised his head, looked at Han Tan and said, "What was Chen Ke's reaction?"
Han Tan lowered his head and told Chen Ke's reaction respectfully and truthfully. Ying Zheng immediately put his hands on his hands and laughed.
"Hahahahahaha, okay!"
He snorted coldly: "I am upset by this kid and am in a bad mood. Does he still want to sleep in a good mood?"
Ying Zheng picked at his desk, and then took out some government affairs that were not very important, but very troublesome.
"After the court tomorrow, you can give these things to Chen Ke."
"Tell Chen Ke that I will need it in the future, so I asked him to find time for me to deal with it."
Ying Zheng touched his chin and changed his words: "Forget it, I'll send it to Chen Ke in the evening."
"I want to see if this kid dares to teach others bad things!"
Han Tan lowered his head and responded, "Here."
.............
In the palace of hundreds of families
Just after returning to Baijia Palace, Zuo Ge and the two saw a group of people standing at the entrance of Baijia Palace.
The two looked at each other with curious expressions on their faces.
What's going on here?
Why are they all gathering at the gate of Baijia Palace? Is there anything important?
At this time, Zuo Ge thought of the happy event Ying Zheng mentioned before and quickly took a few steps forward.
Just now when he arrived at the gate of Baijia Palace, Zuo Ge saw a group of people looking like crazy people.
Upon closer inspection, these are all disciples of their Mohist family.
His second disciple Huo Ji was kneeling on the ground and refused to get up for a long time. The sound of crying reached him from the door and reached his ears.
His third disciple, Yan Tao, looked like he was crying and smiling, with tears on his face, but a smile on his eyes, as if he was crazy.
His fourth disciple, Liang Kangan, stood there and smiled up at the sky. After laughing, he still refused to relieve his anger and even punched and kicked the air.
The same goes for the rest of the Mohist disciples...
But the Confucian, Taoist, Yin-Yang, and Legalist disciples standing aside had expressions of envy and even jealousy on their faces...
It's just that there's not much envy and jealousy.
Zuo Ge became even more confused.
He looked at Lin Fang beside him and said, "Fang'er, what's going on?"
"Is it possible that you and my master and apprentice just went to the palace and these people are crazy?"
Lin Fang swallowed subconsciously. He looked at his junior brothers who seemed to be crazy and whispered: "Teacher, I don't know either."
"I went to the palace with you."
His steps slowed down, and he even subconsciously wanted to hide behind Zuo Ge.
"Junior brother, what happened to them?"
At this time, while the two were talking, everyone standing at the gate of Baijia Palace had already seen Zuo Ge.
Yan Kong walked to Zuo Ge and said coldly: "I'm just using Chen Shaofu's power."
"If Mr. Chen doesn't join in with your Mo family in the future, you will naturally fall from the sky into the mud!"
After saying that, Yan Kong left without even looking at Zuo Ge.
Xiao He, Chen Ping, Cao Shen, Meng Qiu, and Zeng Lu also came over.
Xiao He and the other three had smiles on their faces: "Congratulations, Brother Zuo, your Mo family has finally come out on top!"
Meng Qiu and Zeng Lu had complicated expressions, as if they didn't quite understand.
But the three of them also said: "Congratulations to Dr. Zuo."
Zuo Ge was even more confused...
What happened?
Before he could finish staring, his disciples rushed over to him after seeing him, and then fell to their knees.
"teacher!"
"teacher!"
Each of the disciples seemed to be going crazy.
"Teacher, our matter has been rectified by His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, what the Mohists, especially those of us, are doing is not craftsmanship, but scientific research!"
"Science is the category; scholar is the inheritance."
"We are not craftsmen, but scientists!"
"The status of a scientist is equivalent to that of a doctor!"
"The heirs should not continue to engage in scientific research, it would be a good career!"
"These words come from His Majesty's mouth. He has already posted the Imperial List at the city gate and spread the word to the world!"
"Teacher! We have finally waited for this day!"
Zuo Fan was fascinated by the lake, listening to several of his disciples talking nonsense.
His mind was like a lake of slurry,
When he finally reacted, he reached out and touched his cheek.
Tears were already pouring out like a flood bursting its banks.
Zuo Ge was lying on the ground, looking in the direction of Xianyang Palace, with respect, surrender, and a hint of ignited loyalty in his eyes.
No matter who influenced Ying Zheng's move.
The Mohists all benefited greatly from this.
What they are engaged in is no longer craftsmanship, but scientific research.
Zuo Ge doesn't care about his reputation, but sometimes he is confused, what on earth is he doing?
And today, Ying Zheng gave him an answer.
He is conducting scientific research.
In the past, he was equally confused. Who was he?
Mohist disciple? Craftsman? Ranger? An old farmer in the mountains?
Today, Ying Zheng also gave him an answer.
He is a disciple of Mohism and also a scientist.
Zuo Ge was lying on the ground, tears and snot falling down, mixed with the soil.
He was already bursting into tears.
He secretly added an identity to scientists and Mohist disciples in his mind.
A person who died serving the Qin Dynasty.
...........
In a small town near Xianyang City
Xu Fu temporarily stopped here, waiting for food, water, etc. to be replenished before he could set off again.
Xu Fu, who was waiting at the city gate, saw the notice posted at the city gate.
What was written on it made him ecstatic...
Craftsmen who study "rules" are no longer craftsmen, but scientists.
As for what the "rules" are, the notice did not say this. It just stated that when many Wenxuan disciples from Baijia Palace arrive in various counties, they will naturally know it.
Xu Fu looked at the notice, and for some reason, he felt as if a big sun was rising slowly from under the mountain peak.
That great sun is Da Qin.
He touched the rice in his arms and took a deep breath.
At this time, the few strong men carrying supplies were ready.
Xu Fu got on his horse.
Long-term training has made him no longer the liar who only knew how to cheat.
He sat on the horse and looked at Xianyang City, whose outline could be vaguely seen in the distance.
"Walk!"
...........
Orders about Ying Zheng are being spread all over the world.
Although the county guards in various places had some evil intentions, they did not dare to hide such a major matter from the people.
What's more, they also know in their hearts,
If he abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side now, he might still be alive or continue to be an official.
But if the road goes dark now, then in the end, there will really be no way out...
In this general environment, whether it is about the dissemination of many books such as "Qin Code", "Law", "Thousand Character Classic", "Selected Works", etc.
It's still news about new roads, re-division of counties and counties, and re-calculation of household registrations.
Or maybe it’s about “rules” and “scientists”.
The news spread very quickly, and the county guards wished they could stand at the gate of the city and publicize it to the people every day.
Everyone in the world knows it.
In thousands of ordinary households, everyone has some yearning.
The people of China are always the best to rule.
They are used to obedience.
As long as this life can go on, they can be honest.
As long as there is hope for this day, they can be happy...
But now, after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, they can not only survive, but also have hope...
How can one be unhappy?
If someone could look down from the sky of Daqin at this time, they would be able to see people from several places moving towards the vicinity.
One is the place of the Great Wall, the other is the place of the imperial mausoleums of Mount Li, the other is the place of Chidao, and the other is the place of Afang Palace.
At sunset, thousands of households are looking forward to it.
...........
After the meeting, Chen Ke felt that his mind was confused.
He didn't sleep all night last night and finally got what Ying Zheng needed.
However, during the morning meeting this morning, Ying Zheng just took a look and stopped taking care of those government affairs...
Chen Ke pressed his forehead and felt that there was a double image in front of his eyes.
At this time, Han Tan came to Chen Ke.
"Master Chen, your Majesty has summoned you to see you."
His Majesty summoned him to see him?
Chen Ke raised his head in confusion and looked at Han Tan in front of him with a heavy head.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
He forcibly took a breath and walked towards Zhangtai Palace.
Zhangtai Palace
Looking at Chen Ke's appearance, Ying Zheng suddenly felt unbearable and guilty.
Shouldn't I leave so many government affairs to Chen Ke?
With this in mind, Ying Zheng immediately asked Chen Ke to get up after he saluted.
"Feel free to sit down."
Chen Ke didn't show any politeness, he just sat down and leaned against something behind him, and managed to regain his energy.
"His Majesty."
He looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Do you have anything important to do with me?"
Chen Ke was a little resentful: "In order to deal with the things you taught me yesterday, I stayed up all night last night!"
Listening to the resentment in Chen Ke's tone, Ying Zheng coughed lightly,
"Ahem."
He handed the thing on the bookcase to Chen Ke and said, "There is something about you that requires your presence."
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Xu Fu is coming back."
Xu Fu?
who?
Xu what?
What blessing?
Xu Fu? ! ? ? !
After fully reacting, Chen Ke sat up straight and looked at Ying Zheng with surprise on his face. ,
"Your Majesty, Xu Fu is back?"
Ying Zheng nodded, with surprise on his face.
"Yes, Xu Fu is back."
There was a hint of expectation in his tone: "Xu Fu said in the letter that he can reach Xianyang City within half a month."
"And this letter was sent ten days ago."
"If we calculate the distance, Xu Fu will reach Xianyang City either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng and asked quickly: "Your Majesty, what did Xu Fu say in the letter?"
"Did he find what I was talking about?"
Ying Zheng smiled slightly, his expression looking extremely indifferent.
"Xu Fu said in the letter that he had found the seeds that ripened three times a year and brought them back to Xianyang City."
Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief, with an excited look on his face: "In that case, Da Qin's food crisis can be temporarily alleviated."
Ying Zheng also nodded.
"And what you said can be continued."
Speaking of that matter, the two people looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
That was Xu Fu's punishment and also his reward.
Chen Ke rubbed his hands: "Has your majesty ever seen the Mo family's big ship?"
"How about it?"
Ying Zheng shook his head slightly: "I have never seen it before, but according to Zuo Ge, although the ship does not have very powerful attack methods, it can already sail far away."
"At least reaching the Fuso Island you mentioned shouldn't be a problem."
Chen Ke chuckled: "Then as I proposed before, let Xu Fu go to Fusang after he comes back?"
Speaking of Fusang, Chen Ke's eyes were all bright.
Silver mine! Huge silver mine! A mine that can produce silver continuously for three to four hundred years!
Although there are also many silver mines in Da Qin, who would have too much silver?
Isn't this serious business in taking money that doesn't belong to anyone from a land without one?
Should the money be buried underground?
That’s how I’m sorry for the money!
Ying Zheng glanced at the excited Chen Ke and said, "But, I am a soft-hearted person."
"Although Xu Fu tried to deceive me before, he made great contributions this time."
"So I reckon he will lose his merit."
"Allow him to take a rest during the New Year before setting off again."
Ying Zheng said this with a cheerful look.
Chen Ke nodded immediately in agreement.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
After the two of them talked for a few more words, Ying Zheng saw Chen Ke yawning and asked him to go back.
Looking at Chen Ke's back, Ying Zheng sighed and asked, "Do you think I shouldn't take revenge on Chen Ke?"
"It feels like Chen Ke's brain isn't working so well today."
He looked at Dunruo on the side and continued: "Dunruo, when did Chen Ke read the government affairs yesterday?"
Dunruo replied directly: "Your Majesty."
"If I remember correctly, the young master should have finished handling the government affairs at the same time in Yinshi."
Yinshi moment? ? ? ?
Ying Zheng was a little surprised: "He finished it in a short time?"
"Then why are you so sleepy today?"
Dunruo hesitated, but finally replied: "Your Majesty."
"After handling government affairs, Mr. Chen did not rest."
"The young master first had a meal, then took a walk around the mansion, then read some story books, and finally took a rest when there was still half an hour before the court."
As soon as these words fell, Ying Zheng's expression darkened instantly.
He turned his head and looked at Han Tan: "Go."
"Send the government affairs I prepared yesterday to Chen Ke!"
"Twice more!"
