Pigsty.
Xu Fu raised his head and lay across it.
Until now, his mind is still confused.
He had conducted a detection last month, and found that there were the fewest households living here, the houses were all built in recent years, and there were very few people coming and going on a daily basis.
That's why he chose this escape route.
But he never expected that he would finally escape from Fangshiju. He thought he could escape successfully while there were few people here. Xianyang has no city walls, so as long as he could escape from the city, he would have no choice but to let the birds fly. As a result, he just As soon as he stepped into this area, he didn't even take a few steps when several small officials rushed out of the darkness. He panicked and ran inside quickly, and was immediately put down to the ground.
At first he was in despair.
People who thought it was the government came to find him.
It was just the conversation between those few people that made Xu Fusheng feel a little surprised.
The people in the dark are indeed Qin officials.
The 'gentleman' in the room seemed to have another background.
From his words, it was clearly revealed that he was being monitored here, but he was only restrained and would not be threatened. Even the Qin officials outside were still protecting this person. This made Xu Fu very confused. This Who exactly is 'Sir'? !
Why can he talk to the eldest son?
And why is it restricted to this?
Xu Fu just feels like his head is in a mess now.
But he couldn't think too much now. The ground was too cold. He looked around and swung his body vigorously, like a fish out of water. After several struggles, he landed on the rotting vegetation not far away.
Xu Fu gasped slightly.
He took stock of his current situation, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
No matter who that person is, he will fall into the hands of the government. Once he falls into the hands of the government, he is destined to die.
But now his hands and feet were tightly tied, and his mouth and tongue were blocked. He could not speak, move his hands, or walk. There was no way to change his mind. His expression gradually became anxious. He looked around, trying to find someone who could help him. Something to get away with.
but no.
This pigsty is so clean.
There wasn't even a sharp piece of wood, just a pile of dead grass.
After some attempts, Xu Fu gave up.
He is already old, how can he withstand such a torment?
In the end, he chose to keep tapping the wall with his feet, trying to make the people in the room hear the sound. He believed that if the other person was really trapped here, he would have the confidence to convince the other person. Even as long as the person came to meet him, he would have the confidence to let the other person Untie yourself.
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
A series of low knocking sounds resounded.
But no matter how Xu Fu knocked, no sound came from the house.
It seems that these strange noises are not heard at all.
Xu Fu gradually despaired.
As the night grew darker, the knocking became softer and softer.
The next day.
The sky is bright.
As soon as Ji Heng woke up from his sleep, he heard footsteps coming from outside the house.
He yawned.
last night.
He didn't sleep well.
From time to time, the sound of chopping the wall could be heard in the backyard.
He knew who it was from, but he didn't pay any attention to it.
He wrapped himself in a layer of fleece and went to open the door. Fusu was already waiting outside.
See this.
Fusu said: "I have met Mr."
But before Fusu could explain his purpose, Ji Heng pointed to the backyard and said: "In the pig pen, I kicked the wall all night long. Take him away quickly. It's noisy."
Finished.
Ji Heng yawned and went back to the house.
Fusu smiled bitterly and could only nod.
With a wave of his hand, he motioned to the attendants to bring over the people imprisoned in the backyard.
He himself followed into the house.
It was cold inside.
Ji Heng sighed, lit the fire, and said: "I should have a lot of money left at your place. If you can, go to the workshop and forge an iron pot for me. Such a good stove, It’s such a waste to use such good firewood just to make a fire.”
"But my iron pot is very demanding."
"I personally recommend letting craftsmen who serve the First Emperor build it."
Hear the words.
Fusu's expression froze.
He scratched his head and said a little uncomfortably: "I can't make the decision. His Majesty's food, clothing, daily life, etc. are all handled by Yu Ding."
"How dare I overstep my bounds?"
Ji Heng said calmly: "You can go and talk about it."
"Just say what I suggested."
"I also want to see what kind of items the top craftsmen in Da Qin can create with their current skills."
Fusu's eyes were slightly strange, as if he had guessed Ji Heng's thoughts, and said: "I will ask my father for instructions."
"Is the gap between the two really big?"
Ji Heng added a few pieces of firewood to the stove, and streams of fire came out of the stove, illuminating the room.
Ji Heng looked at Fusu and said: "Both you and the First Emperor have underestimated the improvement of various skills caused by war. In the age of hundreds of years of great conflict, whether it is mining, bronze, pottery, mechanical textiles, painting, etc. Technology has made great progress, but the world used to be too focused on war and did not pay much attention to these skills and technologies."
"After the unification of the world, the Qin Dynasty was eager to implement various systems, and various corvee taxes and taxes were continuously raised. Many craftsmen with skills were either recruited for the exclusive use of the royal family, or fell into endless labor, and those skills were not obtained. Opportunity to perform.”
"But that doesn't mean there aren't any."
"in addition."
"After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, it did not conduct too deep an investigation into all walks of life in the world."
"The Qin court's understanding of these skills is still limited to the scope of Qin and a few examples that are famous all over the world. However, the world has been in dispute for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, more than just people have lived in the land of China. Thousands of people?”
"With such a huge base, even if all walks of life have only made a small step forward, it will be a big step forward for the entire world."
"It's just that Da Qin didn't show it well."
"If Great Qin could put all of its hundreds of years of accumulation into full play, the world would never be in the current predicament."
Fusu's face changed slightly.
Fusu said: "Sir, are you just lying?"
"Can the skills possessed by Da Qin really have such a big impact on the world?"
Ji Heng sneered and said: "War is indeed terrible, but under the pressure of war, the promotion of the world's skills is unimaginable by the world."
"Normally speaking, after the world is peaceful, it will enter a period of recuperation and recuperation. During this stage, the crafts accumulated during the war will have a strong explosion. Because of the existence of war, these skills are actually suppressed to a certain extent. When this trend After the external suppression disappears, once they are given a chance, they will burst into unprecedented potential."
"The Qin Dynasty pursues farming and warfare."
"Too much emphasis is placed on farming and military affairs."
"Furthermore, the laws of the Qin Dynasty were too repressive on handicrafts, so the importance of the handicrafts industry was ignored by everyone in the court. If the court took the handicrafts seriously and even gave them suitable soil for development, many of the skills of the Qin Dynasty would be developed in the next few decades. , got a huge improvement.”
“The improvement of various craftsmanship will also feed back to the imperial court.”
"By then, Da Qin's mining will be unprecedented, and the ironware, pottery production, etc. will be significantly improved in quantity and quality."
"The Qin Dynasty suppressed the world too much."
"The handicraft industry that was supposed to feed back the imperial court is now unable to produce any output at all."
"This may not be one of the reasons for the resentment of the Qin Dynasty."
Fusu looked solemn.
After Ji Heng's words, he re-examined the handicraft industry.
Indeed, as Ji Heng said, he didn't know much about handicrafts and the like, and he always felt that even if these technologies improved, they would have limited impact on the world. However, after Ji Heng's reminder, he suddenly woke up. He only focuses on one industry. If he looks at the whole world, if these improvements add up, how can he improve even a little bit?
Fusu bowed and said, "Fusu has learned a lesson."
"When I return to the palace later, I will tell my father what my husband said."
At this time.
Liao Ke and others said outside the house: "My eldest son, I have been brought here."
Fusu took a deep breath and stepped out of the house.
Ji Heng did not go out. He placed a clay pot on the stove, scooped out some water, put in some corn, and began to prepare his own breakfast.
outside the house.
Fusu Su measured the old man who was disheveled and dying.
Xu Fu lowered his head, angry, angry and annoyed.
Fusu glanced at it for a few times, snorted coldly, and said, "Xu Fu, is there anything else you want to say?"
Xu Fu raised his head, but looked into the room, and said coldly: "I, Xu Fu, had calculated everything, but I didn't expect that I would be damaged here. I have nothing to say. My only doubt is that I want to know what's inside the room." Who is this person?"
"I beg you, eldest son, to clear up your doubts."
Fusu turned around, looked inside the room, hesitated, and said, "I'm afraid this won't work."
"But I can tell you something else."
"The reason why Your Majesty abandoned your medicine stone is precisely because of the three prescriptions presented by Sir."
"Now you are in your hands again."
"According to what your alchemists say."
"This is called the number of days!"
Hear the words.
Xu Fu's face changed slightly, and then he said coldly: "It turns out that he is a doctor, but how can he resolve the medicine of gold and stone? The First Emperor has been taking medicine for several years, and gold and stone have already penetrated into the internal organs. How can ordinary herbal medicines be able to resolve it?" Curable."
"What do you mean?" Fusu asked calmly.
Xu Fu shook his head.
He had no intention of speaking anymore, but looked into the room unwillingly, trying to see the faces of the people in the room clearly.
However, Ji Heng always had his back turned and had no intention of turning around.
At this time.
Liao Ke said: "Young master."
"When we brought this person just now, we searched his body and found several pills on his body."
Said.
Liao Ke handed the pills over.
Fusu looked at these strange-colored pills with undisguised disgust in his eyes.
He said: "Put these pills into boxes and put them away, and give them to the imperial doctor later, so that the people from the imperial hospital can test them."
"No." Liao Ke said.
Finished.
Fusu bowed to the room and said, "Sir, I will tell my father what you said."
"Fusu will leave first."
Fu Su waved his hand, and Xiao Ke and others immediately escorted Xu Fu out of the room.
Even after being taken away, Xu Fu's eyes were still staring behind him, as if he was still full of curiosity about the people in the room.
But in the end it didn't work out.
