"Doctor Yushi said that someone accused me of abusing power for personal gain?"
Wang Wan was a little surprised at first, then his face gradually cooled down and he said calmly:
"I was seeking some benefits for the head of Guizhou. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the fault of the imperial censor?"
"Old Prime Minister, do you think this matter is something that I have trouble with you?"
Feng Jie heard Wang Wan's somewhat unkind tone, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked.
At this time, Han Xin on the side also spoke out to help Wang Wan: "Master Yushi, the old prime minister is not willing to damage his own reputation for a small profit, so I ask Doctor Yushi to take a closer look!"
Although Han Xin had just entered the court, his official position could not be ignored.
Even if Feng Jie is one of the three princes, he still has to give Han Xin face.
But I heard Feng Jie say: "Someone has accused the old prime minister of using power for personal gain. It does not mean that I agree with the facts of the accusation. But does the old prime minister know that the Guizhou Province in Xianyang City used to have no stone carbon and was entirely supported by charcoal?"
"this"
Wang Wan hesitated for a moment, then nodded in a gentle tone: "Of course I know."
"Since the old prime minister knows, let me do the math for the old prime minister. There are about 200,000 households in Xianyang, and the number of people who rely on charcoal to make a living is at least 50,000."
"In addition, Xianyang is located in the northwest with a cold climate and extremely long winters. The amount of charcoal required is far more than other places. As a result, it may be more than 50,000."
"What the imperial censor said makes sense."
Wang Wan nodded in approval and raised her hand to signal Feng Jie to continue.
Although Feng Jie had a violent temper, he still showed some restraint when faced with Wang Wan who was open-minded and willing to be taught.
But I heard him say: "I dare not say how many families are affected by the livelihood of more than 50,000 people. However, the price of stone carbon is sold at 70% of the price of charcoal, which will still affect the livelihood of these people."
After saying this, he paused and looked at Wang Wan meaningfully: "
"Old Prime Minister, if a decision affects the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in an instant, think about it, what will happen next?"
"this"
Wang Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she almost became unsteady.
Although he has been in the position of prime minister for more than ten years, there are very few things that really require him to make decisions.
The reason is simple. Above him, there was the great First Emperor.
If the First Emperor was in Xianyang, it would not be his turn to make the decision at all.
However, what he didn't expect was that the first time he took the initiative, tens of thousands of people suddenly lost their livelihoods.
Once these tens of thousands of people riot, the consequences will be disastrous.
Han Xin was sweating profusely as he listened. Now he finally understood why Feng Jie wanted to find Zhao Hao.
Because even if Feng Jie told Wang Wan, Wang Wan would not be able to solve the problem.
It would not have been possible for him to make such a decision if he had the means to resolve it.
"you you"
Wang Wan pointed at Feng Jie with trembling hands: "You have nothing to do?"
"If there is a way, I will solve it as soon as possible. There is no need to come here to find the old prime minister and the young master!"
Feng Jie said sincerely.
Wang Wan felt helpless after hearing this.
He is quite good at political affairs, national affairs, including military affairs, but he doesn't know much about economics and often does bad things with good intentions.
And Feng Jie, to be honest, is similar to him.
Therefore, Wang Wan now understands Feng Jie's helplessness.
After a slight silence, Wang Wan did not hide it and simply told Feng Jie the truth.
However, what he didn't expect was that Feng Jie became furious after hearing what he said: "This is unreasonable, simply unreasonable! How could you ignore the young master's safety?!"
"No, doctor censor, it was the young master who insisted on going in by himself!"
Han Xin explained quickly.
Feng Jie glanced over with a cold look and said in a deep voice:
"Do you know how important the young master is to Da Qin and His Majesty? How can you allow him to make his own decisions?"
"I"
Han Xin opened his mouth but stopped talking.
At this moment, the ground shook again.
"What's going on? Something happened to the young master?!"
Feng Jie's expression changed and he rushed towards Chu Nan Pavilion without thinking.
"Master Yushi, be careful!"
Before Han Xin could stop Feng Jie, he heard a scream of "ah". The ground under Feng Jie's feet suddenly became empty and he fell into it.
At the same time, inside the Chunan Pavilion tunnel.
The three Zhongxians, each holding a basin of fruits and vegetables, walked slowly along the tunnel.
When they came to the entrance of the tunnel where Zhao Hao disappeared, the ground suddenly shook. The three of them were so startled that they almost threw away the fruit and vegetable basins in their hands.
"No, don't panic. Don't panic."
Zhongxian supported the tunnel wall with one hand and held a pepper pot with the other, comforting Dahu and Erhu with a trembling voice.
"What's going on? Is this tunnel going to collapse?"
Erhu asked tremblingly, holding the tomato pot.
The big tiger beside him was still calm. He just glanced at the potato pot in his arms and said thoughtfully: "This shaking is similar to before. Could it be that Guangdao reacted to the things in our hands? "
"this"
After hearing this, Erhu calmed down, calmed down his emotions, and turned to look at the tomato pot in his arms: "This hasn't gotten any bigger."
"Well, it really hasn't changed!"
Zhongxian also looked at the chili pot in his arms and nodded in agreement.
"Then what should we do now? If it doesn't work, how can we save the young master and the others?"
Dahu said with a worried look on his face.
Zhongxian thought for a moment and said, "How about we split up? Maybe Young Master and the others are back, but not in this direction!"
"Are you serious, Master, they are really back!?"
Erhu was shocked.
Zhongxian glanced at him and said thoughtfully: "To sum up the shaking before, it seems that every time someone disappears, there is shaking, but there are only three of us in this tunnel, and no one disappears;
If the young master and the others are not back, something new has happened. "
"this"
Big Tiger and Two Tigers looked at each other and seemed to think Zhongxian was right.
After a moment of silence, they both nodded: "Okay, let's split up."
Soon, the three of them were heading in different directions.
On the other side, the nameless island.
Zhao Hao and the other three were like primitive people, naked to the waist, holding simple tools made of stone flakes in their hands, and kept digging in the woods.
The squirrels on the tree were gnawing at the pine cones in their hands while tilting their heads to look at them.
The animals passing by also stopped and looked at them digging in the soil in surprise.
Perhaps it was because creatures like humans had never appeared on this small island before. They were not afraid at all. Some even walked to the holes dug by Zhao Hao and the others and poked their heads in the air.
At this moment, the island shook, and countless birds jumped out of the forest. The squirrels on the trees and the animals passing around them fled in fear.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhao Hao, standing at the exit of the pit, asked inside the cave while putting his feet on the simple ladder, ready to evacuate at any time.
But I heard excited shouting from inside the cave: "Haha, there is no perfect way for man, there is no way for man to be aware of it, Master, my hypothesis has been established!"
"?"
A black question mark slowly appeared on Zhao Hao's forehead, and he couldn't help but said: "Does this mean that he has dug out all the pieces and we can go back?"
"Master, wait a moment, I'll go take a look!"
Laifu, who was moving soil, heard Zhao Hao's words and subconsciously looked behind him, only to see a faint light coming from the depths of the pit.
"No!"
Feeling that the shaking had weakened, Zhao Hao jumped into the pothole again, waved to Laifu and said, "Let's go in and take a look together!"
Soon, the two of them came to Chang Wei cautiously.
I saw a bright and dazzling huge aperture suddenly appearing in front of Chang Wei.
"this"
Zhao Hao and Laifu looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that this is okay!
"Sir, come and touch this aperture and see what effect it has?"
Chang Wei stepped aside excitedly and raised his hand to signal to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward slowly. He carefully looked at the aperture and found nothing unusual, so he reached out and touched the aperture.
The moment he touched the aperture, the aperture instantly turned red, and then the ground shook again.
"what's the situation!?"
Zhao Hao looked confused. Before he could react, a figure instantly fell out of the circle of light.
"Ouch!"
Hearing the figure scream, he was about to get up from the ground.
At this moment, Chang Wei knocked over with a stick.
"ah!"
The figure screamed again, but fainted immediately.
When Zhao Hao and Laifu saw this, their eyelids twitched.
But Chang Wei explained seriously: "He is wearing official uniform and is not one of ours!"
"You're going to knock him out if he's not one of ours?"
Laifu asked some weird questions.
"What if he leaks our secret?"
"How did you know he would reveal our secrets?"
"If it's not one of ours, it will be leaked!"
"you"
"Okay, stop arguing!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand to interrupt Laifu and the other two, then knelt down to check.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but you'll be shocked when you look at it.
The person lying on the ground was none other than Feng Jie.
"Why is he here?"
Zhao Hao said with a surprised look.
"Young master, do you know him?" Laifu asked curiously.
Zhao Hao nodded: "I know him. This person is Feng Jie, the imperial censor!"
"Doctor Yushi?"
Laifu and Chang Wei were both shocked.
The imperial censor is one of the senior officials of the Three Dukes of the Qin Dynasty.
Why is he here?
Could it be that the young master transferred him here?
Thinking of this, both Laifu and Fu looked at Zhao Hao.
But Zhao Hao frowned and said thoughtfully: "This aperture should be similar to the light group in the previous light path. It can transfer nearby things. Feng Jie happened to appear near Chunan Pavilion, so he was transferred here. !”
"Then can we go back?"
Chang Wei asked curiously.
Zhao Hao thought for a while and said: "Theoretically it's possible, but you need something to exchange for it!"
"what?"
"Do you have anything from the island?"
“island stuff”
Chang Wei and Laifu looked at each other. For a moment, Chang Wei suddenly remembered something and took out a cloth bag from his crotch and handed it to Zhao Hao.
"What's this?"
Zhao Hao took the bag and asked curiously.
Chang Wei was a little embarrassed and said: "Poisonous magic mushrooms"
"Fuck you!"
When Laifu heard Chang Wei say 'poisonous magic mushroom', his face changed drastically and he rushed towards him.
When Zhao Hao saw this, he frowned and ignored them, directly putting the bag into the aperture.
The next moment, a huge suction force suddenly came.
"Master, be careful!"
Chang Wei and Laifu, who were fluttering, were startled and quickly stepped forward to protect Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao, on the other hand, clung to Feng Jie.
In just an instant, they disappeared into the pit.
At the same time, the entire island began to collapse on a large scale, and many animals were frightened and fled in all directions.
"Ouch!"
Erhu, who was groping forward in the tunnel, suddenly felt something hit him and couldn't help but scream.
But someone was heard cursing: "Damn it! Where is this? Why is there a mat?"
"What mat? You're fucking on top of me!"
"Who are you."
"I am Erhu, no, I am Zhao Wudi!"
"Oh, Zhao Wudi Erhu?! I'm back?"
"I'm back, I'm back, get up!"
"Oh, okay, Erhu, are you okay?"
"Is it okay if you press me up so suddenly? Oops, my waist."
Erhu got up from the ground and looked forward with bared teeth, only to see Chang Wei scratching his head and grinning sheepishly.
"It's you?"
When Erhu saw Chang Wei, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Why are you alone, Laifu and Young Master?"
"Laifu and the Young Master"
Chang Wei was stunned, couldn't help but look around, and slapped his thigh: "That's right! Where are Laifu and Gongziren?!"
"You ask me, who am I asking? They are not with you?"
"We're together! Look quickly, maybe they're nearby."
"Fuck you!"
When Erhu heard Chang Wei's words, he almost jumped up with anger: "If you have any shortcomings, I will fight with you!"
"No, no, the young master will be fine!"
Chang Wei waved his hands repeatedly, feeling panicked.
If something really happened to Zhao Hao, not to mention Erhu fighting with him, even he himself wouldn't want to live.
Seeing Chang Wei running around anxiously, Erhu stopped talking. He picked up the tomato pot in his hand and started looking for Laifu and Zhao Hao.
At this moment, Chang Wei looked at him doubtfully: "Why are you holding a tomato plant in your hand?"
"I want you to take care of it!"
Erhu responded angrily, then thought about it again, and reluctantly explained to him: "Dahu said that the fruits and vegetables in the yard are related to your disappearance, so let us take it with us to sense the light." Tao, maybe I can save you!"
"Does this still matter?"
Chang Wei was a little surprised.
Erhu told him what he saw and heard seriously: "You don't know how big the tomato was before the young master disappeared, but now..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly noticed something was wrong with the tomatoes in the tomato pot: "Fuck! Why have they grown bigger again?"
"Hasn't it always been this big?"
"The fart is so big, it was so small before."
Erhu glared at Chang Wei and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that this tomato is really related to your disappearance?"
"I don't know about this either."
Chang Wei scratched his head hesitantly and said: "Young master said something about the conservation of energy before. I think it must be related to energy."
"Conservation of energy?"
Erhu asked curiously: "How did you come back?"
Although he didn't know what happened to Chang Wei and the others, it was a bit bizarre to think about it.
However, Chang Wei's answer surprised him.
But I heard Chang Wei say: "It's nothing special, just dig holes like before!"
"You mean, you dug a passage to the outside of the city?"
"It's not outside the city, it's an unknown island!"
"Unnamed island?"
Erhu was stunned.
The next moment, Dahu's voice suddenly came from behind: "Erhu, Young Master and Laifu are back. Have you seen Chang Wei?"
"Yes! I'm here!"
Before Erhu could speak, Chang Wei on the side spoke excitedly.
"Chang Wei! Haha, it's just you. Master, let's get out quickly."
When Dahu heard Chang Wei's voice, his tone suddenly became happy and he quickly responded to Chang Wei.
"Okay! Here we come!"
Chang Wei responded, pulled up Erhu who was in a daze, and said: "Let's go, let's talk after we go out."
This plot is over.
In addition, please read the original version. In the author's words, I have supplemented the purpose of upgrading the authentic version.
Explain why I want to upgrade the tunnel.
When the authentic light group transferred the beams and pillars of the 'Xin Palace' before, I was thinking, what would happen if the authentic light group transferred people?
Although it looks a bit fantasy and supernatural, it can satisfy my greatest YY value.
Writing is actually a kind of YY.
It’s just that this kind of YY needs to be logically self-consistent.
A setting that is too supernatural will definitely not work.
After all, this is history, not fantasy.
But time travel is inherently fantasy.
So, what’s the point of upgrading the tunnel?
In fact, it was for a later idea that no one had ever written before.
It can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes.
You all know that whether I go to Xi'an or this book, it is all to fulfill each of my wishes.
Of course, there will be no supernatural events in the subsequent plots, they will all be normal historical plots.
This upgrade can be regarded as a foreshadowing.
