In front of the army, Wang Jian was riding on his horse and looking at the forest in the distance.
This is the boundary between Dongyue and Kuaiji County. You can already see that the surrounding trees have been cut down in various ways. Even the roots of the trees have been pulled away and have not been left in place.
The original jungle has turned into a flat land.
This is the result of the efforts of the Guizhou leaders in Kuaiji County for more than half a month, almost a month. When the Guizhou leaders work hard and have goals, most people cannot surpass them.
Wang Jian breathed out.
He turned his head and looked at Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo who were already eager to try on horseback and smiled.
Wang Jian's wish was just that he didn't want to die on the hospital bed, but on the battlefield. He didn't necessarily want to personally participate in the war.
What's more, what's the use of military exploits for an old guy like him who's already successful?
Even now that he has made great achievements again and driven Baiyue out completely, what can he gain?
Now that Wang Jian has reached the rank of Chehou, Wu Chenghou's position has no room for promotion again. If he continues to fight and continue to make meritorious deeds, it will not only cause problems for himself, but also for the emperor and Qin. The law presents a problem.
At that time, no matter whether he is promoted or rewarded, people will be dissatisfied.
Because such great achievements must be promoted to nobility, this is stipulated by the Qin Law; now the Qin Law is the most basic iron law of the Qin Dynasty. If the Qin Law is chaotic, the world will be in chaos in an instant.
But when the lord goes up, he becomes the duke or the king.
The former King of Qin was only a duke, and he only proclaimed himself king later. Now he dares to proclaim himself a duke?
Wang Jian did not have the courage or inclination to test the emperor because he already knew the result in advance.
At that time, the First Emperor would be in a dilemma.
Put the emperor into a difficult situation, and even had to make the emperor a prince in order to maintain the laws of Qin?
He, Wang Jian, just didn't want to die on the bed, but he didn't want to die. What's more, he had a son who was now serving as the governor of the state army in Penglaizhou.
Today's political rank has changed, but the military rank has not changed. It is the same as the original Lord and political rank. This may be left to be changed later.
His son still has a chance to go one step further.
So of course Wang Jian would not cause trouble for no reason. Of course, it was not just that. In fact, it was also because Wang Jian sincerely wanted to make Da Qin better.
Nowadays, except for Han Xin, the younger generation of generals in Da Qin have not yet developed and lack of training.
Bai Qi, the Lord of Wu'an back then, was able to support them so that their generation of generals could develop slowly. Of course, he now also wants to support the next generation.
He looked at Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo, and said with a soft smile: "Now that we have firearms, Baiyue is already the turtle in the urn of Great Qin, and there is no need for me to appear."
"This time, with Zhang Han as the vanguard, we will advance from the left and kill all the enemies."
"Zhao Tuo was the front army and rushed forward from the right, killing all the people in East Vietnam, leaving only a clean land."
Wang Jian touched his beard, looked in the distance and smiled leisurely.
"Of course, if anyone surrenders, they can also be admitted into Great Qin."
His slightly squinted, smiling eyes were somewhat unpredictable: "After all, Tianhai City will be built in a while, which is a big deal."
"This is an important event that must not be delayed."
Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo looked at each other, with smiles of surprise and excitement in their eyes, and immediately said: "Your order!"
They thought that by following General Wang, although there would be no more variables in this war, there would be no credit to be gained.
But I didn't expect that General Wang would take the initiative to give up his military power!
Zhao Tuo and Zhang Han looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
At this moment, the horn sounded from behind the army, and the originally orderly Da Qin soldiers were divided into three parts.
One part followed Zhang Han, and the other part followed Zhao Tuo. Most of the troops were still following Wang Jian. One of their purposes was to protect Wang Jian, and the other was to prevent the East Vietnamese. Escape.
When the army was fully distributed, Zhao Tuo and Zhang Han looked at each other, then nodded slightly towards Wang Jian, and then headed in the direction of Dongyue.
Although Yang Tianyi of Kuaiji County had previously summoned some Guizhou leaders to cut down the trees in the outer jungles of East Vietnam, there were too many primitive jungles in East Vietnam.
This is also a challenge for the soldiers of Da Qin.
Wang Jian watched the two teams gradually walk away with a little melancholy in his heart. He could see in Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo the spirit of today's Great Qin soldiers and coach.
This is a good thing.
"The waves of the Yangtze River follow the waves. It's really a good thing."
The corner of his mouth curled into a smile: "After the sunset, another sun will eventually rise. The sun of Da Qin will never fall."
The deputy general on the side just lowered his head and listened silently.
After a moment, Wang Jian, who had finished sighing, turned back, looked at the people around him and said, "Let the whole army rest and recuperate, and then ask the military doctors to immediately brew some "Qinglong Miasma Soup", and be ready to treat and replace those who come out. "
The people on the side nodded slightly, said "Here", and then took the time to order the entire army to rest.
Wang Jian was sitting there, and footsteps could be heard from behind. The imperial physician ordered Lin Jun to come and ask for his daily Ping An pulse to ensure Wang Jian's health.
He pressed his forehead, looked at Lin Jun and said, "I really have nothing to do."
"Isn't Mr. Chen very well prepared?"
"Isn't he the one who made that Laoshizi Qinglong Miasma-avoiding Soup? It's quite effective."
Maybe it's because he likes to be wordy as he gets older, but now Wang Jian is also mumbling: "Fortunately, I listened to the words of Chen Ke four or five years ago and didn't come to attack Baiyue forcefully."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no way to survive."
He smiled and said: "The danger of miasma is indeed exactly the same as what Chen Xiaozi said at the beginning, or even worse."
"But maybe God didn't expect that that guy Chen Ke would have this decoction to treat miasma, right?"
Wang Jian smiled and allowed Lin Jun to take his pulse, while his thoughts were tumbling back and forth.
...........
On a continent.
The ship had just docked, and there were countless ships floating on the sea in the distance, which was so dark that it looked like dark clouds.
Several people got off the boat with calm expressions on their faces.
The leaders were Xu Fu and Di Lun.
Xu Fu looked at the land in the distance and exhaled: "I'm finally back."
Di Lun also said with emotion: "Since I was born, I have never been away from my hometown for so long, and now I am finally back."
His eyes flashed with danger: "Xu Ling, the heavenly army has arrived. How about we go straight to the enemy camp before those people can react and drive those people away completely?"
"After the repairs are completed, we will attack the city again, and then capture the natives and dig mines for us to extract oil!"
Xu Fu also smiled slightly. He looked like an immortal, but the words he said made people feel chilled in their bones.
"good."
"I'll go invite General Sun right now!"
...........
Xianyang City
After the news of the book repair spread, many knowledgeable people in the world began to rush towards Xianyang City, and even wanted to build momentum before coming.
Literati from ancient times to the present have always been like this. They always like to build momentum and become famous first, as if they would die without fame.
Of course, the superiors can still understand this.
Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke, who was sitting across from him, and raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Chen Ke and said, "There is no one else around now. Tell me, why do you have to make me the so-called editor-in-chief of this "Morality"? "
Chen Ke chuckled, with a look of excitement flashing across his face: "Your Majesty, what do you think is the first thing that the people of the world and thousands of Guizhou heads should do after their economy gradually develops and they can have enough to eat?"
Ying Zheng didn't have the slightest doubt: "Read."
Chen Ke nodded: "Yes, just reading."
"Now we have to compile new books and allow people of a certain age group to read only certain books. This is equivalent to pushing these books directly to people all over the world."
"Your Majesty may not need to make a name for himself."
"But there are batches of children at this time. If they always see your name on the books they read and you are the editor, what will they think subconsciously?"
Ying Zheng's expression became serious: "They will respect me."
Yes, this is the influence of a book editor.
Maybe in the future, when people see editors-in-chief on certain books, they won’t think anything of it, but that’s because those “editors-in-chief” are not that famous.
"Name" is something that is elusive and cannot be pursued.
Of course, it is also because those people are not standing in a superior position.
For example, change the name of the editor-in-chief to xxx, a high-ranking person who is known to everyone. They have seen this name when they were studying since childhood, and they all know that they are studying books compiled by this person.
How would you react?
You will develop a habit since childhood and regard this person as an irrefutable figure. You will subconsciously become this person's support because you have regarded this person as your teacher and yourself as your disciple.
This is the reason why Chen Ke made Ying Zheng the "chief editor", and it is also the most important reason.
Of course there are other reasons.
At this time, Chen Ke was explaining this other reason.
"Your Majesty, the importance of "Morality" is the book that educates children from an early age. It tells them what is right, what is wrong, what should be done and what should not be done. "
"Why is his advanced book called "Ideology, Politics and Morality and the Rule of Law"? "
"It is at that stage that we need to popularize some things that everyone should know, so that there will be no "law-illiterates" in the world and no one who does not know Qin's laws. "
"In this way, the world will be much more peaceful."
“And the very beginning of “moral education” is to shape their moral character and prevent them from going astray. It is also to help them develop good habits from an early age. "
"Such a book must and can only be edited by you."
"Otherwise, it will affect more than just tens of thousands of people?"
After listening to Chen Ke's words, Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Ke. He knew that there must be something more than that, but at this time Ying Zheng was too lazy to ask.
After all, he felt that these things may not be completely completed in ten or twenty years, and the emperor at that time may not be him anymore. These things should be left to Fusu to do the work and headache.
After all, this guy Fusu is Chen Ke's disciple. Shouldn't disciples clean up the mess for their teacher?
Thinking like this, Ying Zheng couldn't even suppress the smile on his lips.
He looked at Chen Ke and said, "Okay, I won't be the one to clean up your mess when the time comes."
Ying Zheng yawned. Ever since he started exercising and thinking about it, he became more and more casual in front of Chen Ke, like an ordinary middle-aged man.
Chen Ke also smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed to a slit, and he looked warm.
"Your Majesty, how could I leave such a mess behind?"
He shook his head and said, "However, I heard Fusu tell me recently that His Majesty has chosen a woman for Fusu. Can she be the crown prince?"
There were some rumors about the selection of the Crown Princess a few days ago, but there was no information about the woman's origin or reputation, which made Chen Ke a little curious.
The most irresistible thing is gossip.
Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Ke, with a look of helplessness on his face, he raised his forehead slightly, and then said: "Yes, there are already a few candidates, I'm just waiting for Fusu to see if he is satisfied. "
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Ke to ask more questions, he continued: "One is Wang Guan's granddaughter, who is three or four years younger than Fusu."
"A calm personality, gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, quite a bit like the generals of the past."
"The other one is Wang Jian's granddaughter. She is about the same age as Fusu, but her personality is gentler."
"The other one is Li Si's granddaughter."
Ying Zheng sighed slightly and said, "Actually, I don't like these people very much."
He said silently: "Wang Guan used to advocate enfeoffing my sons and the clan. Although he was relatively conservative and only wanted to enfeoff to remote places such as Yan, Qi, Chu, etc., he still advocated enfeoffment after all."
"I am worried that if Ling Fusu marries his daughter as his concubine and becomes a queen in the future, it will create a misunderstanding for some nobles within Da Qin."
"Although Wang Jian and Li Si's granddaughters do not have such worries, they have taken root in the Qin Dynasty for a long time. If there is another queen and they become the emperor's maternal wife in the future, I am worried that their family will have inappropriate thoughts. "
As a parent, as an emperor, even if you are introducing someone to your son, you have a lot to consider.
Chen Ke also sighed quietly: "In fact, now that your Majesty is able to overwhelm the ministers, there is no need to find the daughter of such a powerful nobleman for His Highness Fusu. Maybe you can find the daughter of a small nobleman."
Ying Zheng shook his head slightly: "Although the daughter of a small nobleman does not have this kind of problem, she has many other problems."
There was sarcasm in the corner of his mouth: "What happened to Zhao Ji in the past was not because she had a bad background, so she was easily deceived by others?"
"Anyway, the daughter of a great noble will be carefully taught at home."
He shook his head silently: "Just these three companies. If there is someone else that Fusu likes, let's talk about it later!"
