Ziyou looked at this group of people and felt that his innocence was gone.
"The reason I want to go to Shu is to go to Shu Mountain to find Yu Yuan to protect me." Ziyou said helplessly, and then went to Yu Yuan to seek help when there was a problem with his skills. He did not tell Bai Yifei, who was a surrendered general after all. , I am also capable, it would be a pity if I was affected by this incident.
"What's wrong with the teacher's technique?" Ying Zheng asked.
The importance of Ziyou to the Qin State is self-evident. None of the current internal reforms of the Qin State can lose Ziyou. Ziyou's influence on the Qin State has reached all aspects. It can be said that Ziyou is as important to the current Qin State as At the beginning, Lord Shang dealt with the Qin State during the reform period.
"It's not a big problem. Senior Beimingzi said that I can hope to solve it if I go to Yu Yuan. There is no solution in the Confucian classics. The teacher also said that Yu Yuan has a solution." Ziyou said.
Hearing what Ziyou said, everyone reluctantly let go of their worries. The big guys from Confucianism and Taoism all said that Yu Yuan had a way, what else could they say?
"Then the matter of going to reward and show the widow's love will be left to Sir. The King of Qin ordered Sir to take it. With this token, all the people in Shu can be mobilized to ask Sima Chang to accompany the teacher." Ying Zheng said.
Ziyou took over the Qin King's order from Zhao Gao and handed it over to Ziyou the edict to reward the widow Qing. The small meeting held by Ying Zheng ended like this. After the end, Ziyou went to the Academy of Sciences. At this time, Qin Mo and Gong Loser It has entered a state, and there is an endless stream of controversy and beatings in the Academy of Sciences.
Xiangli Guan and Gong Shuqiu taught their disciples the forging skills of Korean crossbows and sharp swords with drawings.
"Master, Master Wang is here."
"Master, Master Wang is here."
Xiangli Guan and Gongshu Qiu put down the drawings in their hands and asked the disciples to build them first. The two of them came to greet Ziyou.
"Sir." The two of them saluted.
After returning the gift, Ziyou took out the drawings of the steel frying method and the blast furnace and said
"I'm here to give you drawings. Take a look at this."
One of the two people was holding a drawing of a blast furnace, and the other was looking at the method of frying steel. Their expressions were also very horrified, because this forging technology far exceeded the existing technology in South Korea. They had just mastered South Korea's smelting technology, and now You just gave them new technology, are you planning to exhaust them to death?
"The steel-frying method is only a transitional stage. There are several methods I have conceived later. Take a closer look. The focus will be on the steel-frying method first. Now, several iron ore mines discovered by Kanyu are being mined. After you master it, Send disciples to the ordnance shop to cooperate in replacing more than half of the army's weapons. Likewise, you should also think about the progress in armor." Ziyou said,
Originally, Ziyou wanted to use the cold forging method of later Xixia. The armor made by the cold forging method was very hard and thin, and then threaded with ropes to form a complete armor.
Cold-forged armor was Xixia's winning weapon against the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. The soft, light and extremely tough armor could not only improve the soldiers' defensive capabilities, but also reduce the physical consumption of the armor on the soldiers. Moreover, cold-forged armor is more suitable for cavalry. The armor of Qin cavalry is now very heavy, which not only affects the movements of the knights, but is also a big burden on the horses, causing great losses during long-distance marches.
However, I can’t remember the cold forging technology clearly. I just proposed a rough method to let Qin Mo and Gong loser see if they can reproduce it. As for the subsequent steel forging and steel filling methods, they all need the steel frying method as the basis. After creating block-hardened carburized steel with sufficient texture, and then tempering it repeatedly, the fried steel method is enough now, and the rest can be studied slowly.
"No!" the two said while cupping their hands.
"You guys study slowly. I'm going to Shu. If there are any problems, you should study them yourself first. If it really can't be solved, wait until I come back." Ziyou said.
"promise!"
Xiangli Guan and Gong Shuqiu looked at the paper in their hands, and they felt a huge pressure. It was obviously a few pieces of light paper, but they felt extra heavy. If a word of what was recorded on it was leaked, they would have to wait for a while, but again, If they thoroughly study the above things, they will have their names in history. Both of them are now thinking of mobilizing the elite disciples in the sect to study it. They must study something before Ziyou comes back.
After explaining the affairs of the Academy of Sciences, Ziyou returned to his royal master's residence. He planned to take Shao Siming, Yan Fei and Yan Lingji with him on this trip. Two of the three were from the Yin Yang family and one was from Baiyue. He is someone who has a certain connection with Shushan Yuyuan.
Previously, Jing Salad felt bored and wanted to find something to do, so Zi You asked Jing Sala and Black and White Xuanjian to take charge of the Academy of Science's defense work. As for Xue Nu, she has become obsessed with cooking recently and steals her craft every day at Ding Xiang Building. Yu Yuan didn't know what would happen during this trip, so he didn't think of taking her with him.
At this time, the team responsible for guarding Ziyou was already waiting at the east gate of Xianyang. Ziyou went there on behalf of the king's orders, and had both support and guards. Yingzheng's edict had already gone ahead to notify the prefect of Shu County, who was responsible for smelting. Sima Chang, who was in charge of the incident, was also waiting in the crowd. When the soldiers around him saw Ziyou coming, their eyes were full of fire. After the attack on Korea, Ziyou's prestige in the army was no less than that of Wang Jian and Meng Wu.
"Sima Chang pays homage to Master Wang." Sima Chang said to Zi Xing.
Ziyou looked at Sima Chang. The ancestor of Sima Chang was Sima Cuo, the general of the Qin State. It was Sima Cuo who attacked Shu. Later, Sima Cuo sent troops from Shu to capture Qianzhong County of Chu. At that time, the people of Shu When the rebellion broke out, Sima Cuo was left in Shu to suppress and govern Shu County. From then on, the Sima family took root in Shu County. Relying on Sima Cuo's prestige and management, the Sima family had a high prestige in Shu.
According to the foundation of the Sima family in the Qin court, Sima Chang should not be just a smelting official, but Sima Cuo's grandson Sima Jin was originally Wu'an Jun Baiqi's deputy general. When Wuan Jun Baiqi was sentenced to death by Du You, Sima Jin also Follow Bai Qi on the road.
As for the assassination of Bai Qi by the sixth elder of the peasant family, Ziyou knew the inside story and relied on six masters to kill Wu Anjun Bai Qi. Isn't this a joke? Bai Qi is not the kind of general who relies solely on resourcefulness to win. Bai Qi originally fought with Wei Ran in the Qin Army's death squad.
As for the inside story of Bai Qi being sentenced to death, it is a secret of the Qin royal family. No one knows it except the original King Zhaoxiang of Qin. However, the liquidation of Bai Qi's influence in the army is true, and the Sima family was also cleared out in this liquidation. Although the Sima family is from the old Qin, the Sima family is too close to the Chu family.
"Well, were you born in Shu County?" Ziyou asked.
"Yes, Xiaguan's family is in Shu County. Later, the prefect of Shu County appreciated him and recommended Xiaguan to come to Xianyang. Now he serves as an iron officer under the Shaofu." Sima Chang said, although the iron officer does not look like much, but he He is the official responsible for the national iron smelting industry under the command of the Shaofu. Although he is not well-known, he can be regarded as having great real power. Under the Yantie official camp, both Yanguan and Tieguan are officials with real power.
It's just that this official position has great power in the local area, but it is not enough in Xianyang, especially in the Qin State with strict laws. Therefore, Sima Chang is also conscientious and does not dare to slack off or make any mistakes. He is already the Sima family of the marginal family of Qin State. It took a lot of effort for him to sneak into the central government. If he makes another mistake, the Sima family will really never get ahead.
"Well, tell me about Shu County on the way." Ziyou said.
Ziyou did not return to the carriage, but mounted his horse and followed Sima Chang side by side. The surrounding soldiers walked on both sides to protect the two of them.
"I wonder what Mr. Wang wants to ask?" Sima Chang asked cautiously. Zi You could be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people in the Qin Dynasty court. He had a high and powerful position. His disciples and former officials were all over the Qin Dynasty court. Sima Chang had to Treat it with caution. Although the Sima family is still powerful in Shu County, it is just a bigger ant in front of powerful people like Ziyou.
"Tell me about the famous families in Bashu now." Ziyou said.
"Yes, the land of Bashu is fertile and the products are rich. Since the former Governor Li built Dujiangyan, he has built it into a land of abundance. With the rich products and the reputation of silk in Shu, there are many merchants in Shu. These merchants It can be said that he has not forgotten his roots. After doing business abroad, he will not forget to repay his hometown. Building roads and bridges has also won a lot of public support.
So far, there are four famous families in Bashu. One is the family of Widow Qing. Widow Qing’s husband is himself a descendant of the former Ba King’s royal family from a wealthy family in Ba County, named Ba Zimo. After the demise of the Ba Kingdom, the Ba royal family declined. Later, Ba Zimo used the skills of merchants to revive the Ba people again. Unfortunately, he was jealous of talents and died young. Later, the widow Qing relied on strong methods to accept her husband's marriage. Commerce, and relying on the excavated pill mines to continuously expand the commercial territory. It is said that Widow Qing's family has tens of thousands of servants under their command, including thousands of guards.
The second is the descendants of Li Bing, the former governor of Shu County. They have relied on Li Taishou's prestige to develop to this day. The third is the Chen family. The Chen family is an old family in the land of Bashu. Before the Qin State conquered the land of Bashu, the Chen family The family has a very high prestige in both Bashu and Bashu. The fourth is" Sima Chang glanced at Ziyou and hesitated.
"The fourth one is your Sima family, right?" Ziyou looked at Sima Chang and said.
Sima Chang glanced at Ziyou and said, "Yes, our ancestor Sima Cuo put down the rebellions in Shu three times and gained great prestige in Shu. In order to prevent another rebellion in Shu, King Zhaoxiang changed the country into a county and let his ancestors serve as The first governor, the Sima family has taken root in Shu since then to prevent another rebellion in Shu."
The two countries of Bashu and Bashu were destroyed by the Qin State at the same time. At first, the two countries of Bashu and Bashu asked Qin for help, hoping that Qin would take action to destroy each other. At Zhang Yi's suggestion, they agreed to Shu's request to destroy Ba, and Shu welcomed the army into the city. , when King Wu of Qin was still a prince, he and Wei Ran Baiqi attacked the capital of Ba at night and destroyed Ba in one fell swoop. However, Qin's appetite was not just Ba, and he backhandedly destroyed Shu.
Because Qin's behavior of breaking the alliance and stabbing its allies in the back made the King of Shu angry. Before his death, he left a message saying that Shu would never surrender. In addition, the people of Shu did not always feel happy because of Qin's treacherous behavior. There were rebellions, and each rebellion was led by Sima Cuo, the general who had conquered Bashu in the first place. With three rebellions and being the first governor to govern Shu County, the Sima family's prestige among the people of Shu County was no less than that of the original Shu. The royal family.
"Is there still a rebellion in Shu now?" Ziyou suddenly asked.
"I don't know about this. I have been away from home for more than five years, and I have never heard my father mention it in my letters at home." Sima Chang said with a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
The rebellion in Shu was originally started by the Shu clan, and Ziyou attacked Han and killed all the nobles in Korea. Ziyou was already the most terrifying existence in the hearts of the powerful clans, because if Ziyou killed your whole family, he would kill you. With the whole family, Ziyou first asked about the big families in Bashu and then about the rebellion. Sima Chang couldn't help but suspect that Ziyou had other secret missions when he went to Shu, such as killing them, the big people in Bashu.
