The study room in Xianyang Palace is as warm as spring.
Zhao Huaizhong has changed some of the celestial phenomena and the creation environment, and has a built-in heater function to burn himself and warm others.
He blended his thoughts with the heaven and earth, and the temperature of the surrounding heaven and earth steadily increased.
There were more than ten tables seated in the study.
After winter, Lu Buwei and other Qin officials reported on next year's spring plowing schedule. There were also the Qin army's military strategy and training progress, news from the northwest countries, imperial examinations and other matters. More than ten seats in the study room gathered the civil and military forces of the Qin Dynasty, forming a
A temporary Umrah meeting.
"...next year's Spring Science Examination, the number of people from all over the country who have submitted applications to participate in the scientific examination has reached the highest level in history, with a total of more than 420,000 people. This shows that such a grand event was only possible in the prosperous age of the Qin Dynasty." Lu Buwei sat in Zhao Huaizhong and bowed his head.
Smiles all over the face.
It was not a formal court meeting, and the ministers discussed matters in a more relaxed manner.
You have never seen the scale of the college entrance examination army in later generations. In the entire Qin Dynasty, there are 400,000 people regardless of age. You have succeeded like this to show off to me... Zhao Huaizhong thought.
However, in this era, it is indeed unimaginable that 400,000 people can refer to it.
It has been six years since the beginning of the scientific research. It was only implemented in Qin at the beginning, when the six kingdoms were not yet unified, and only a few hundred people participated in the whole country. It has developed step by step to today.
Zhao Huaizhong is the decision-maker of the matter, while Lu Buwei is the one who implements it and handles it single-handedly.
From a hundred people to 400,000, the results can be seen. No wonder Lu Buwei wanted to show off his political achievements.
"We, Da Qin, will start courses this year, with Confucianism, Law, Mohism and other subjects included. Of course, the exams will all be based on basics."
Lu Buweihui reported: "According to His Majesty's order, we will first take the basic test. After entering the academy, we will divide them into different categories according to their talents and learn different contents."
In the world of immortals and demons, scientific research is of course not just about Confucian articles, but is divided into different subjects, and you can choose the direction you are good at for reference.
This method is closer to the examination classification of later generations.
Combining Mo Gong Yiyi with the most basic magic numbers, Zhang Cang compiled nine chapters of magic numbers, which were gradually popularized and taught in academies all over the country.
"I estimate that within five years, the number of people taking courses will increase to close to one million, in order to strengthen our power in the prosperous age of the Qin Dynasty." Lu Buwei said with great ambition.
This prime minister of the Qin State, who had a well-established family, was once very ambitious in history.
But in today's Great Qin, he has no idea of making trouble. Once Zhao Huaizhong's power comes, making trouble is tantamount to seeking death. He will die if he tries.
Furthermore, Qin has been developing vigorously, and Lu Buwei's ambitions have been diverted by Qin's development.
In other words, he has greater ambitions than the inherent history. He not only wants to be famous in history, but also wants to follow Zhao Huaizhong to create a broader future.
He could already vaguely see the direction of the future, and he thought that he might become an immortal and an ancestor in the future.
Qin's development can be tolerated by people no matter how ambitious they are, and it may even exceed their expectations.
"Your Majesty, the northwest countries have sent letters of credence. Two countries are willing to surrender. They are both located close to Pulei. General Lian Po's horses have already reached their doorstep, so they cannot help but surrender.
The other countries do not need to face the iron hoof of our Great Qin for the time being. They still have some luck and want to continue to wait and see.
They sent letters of credence one after another, and they all expressed their willingness to surrender, but they wanted to negotiate terms with Da Qin."
The speaker was Li Si, another careerist in history.
After he finished speaking, Meng Yi continued: "They think that after returning to the Qin Dynasty, it is okay to reduce the country's title to the counties of Daqin, but they hope to retain the current ruler as the county governor, allow them to govern internally, and pay taxes to Daqin every year.
"
Zhao Huaizhong: "Hasn't the Forbidden Army made great achievements in practicing military tactics recently? Let the Forbidden Army go to the northwest for military training."
Got it.
Does Zhao Huaizhong mean not to talk about it first and continue the beating, or does it mean that the beating won't hurt and he dares to make demands?
"Let Li Xin lead his troops to the northwest to join General Lian Po, and let the imperial army march thousands of miles, otherwise there may be no battle to fight when they pass.
Also, tell the Imperial Guard not to underestimate the enemy.
The Kingdom of Kangyi to the west of the northwest has been able to oppress Dawan and other countries all year round, which shows that its power is not weak. After entering the northwest, the imperial army penetrated straight to the west and stationed troops on the border west of Dawan. From now on, it will be the border of our Great Qin."
The ministers agreed with a loud voice, and they all heard that Zhao Huaizhong had the intention to use the country of Kangyi to train troops.
"Your Majesty, I also want to go out for some action. Can I go with the imperial army?"
The speaker has a beard, a stout figure, wearing a black court uniform, with big shoulders and a round waist. At first glance, he looks like a rude man, tall and thick.
In fact, this man was brave and resourceful. He was a general of the Qin army and an important minister in the court, Shi Teng.
Neishiteng is a very interesting person. He led troops and made many military exploits before destroying the Six Kingdoms. After destroying the Six Kingdoms, he was sent by Zhao Huaizhong to govern local affairs and became a county guard. He achieved outstanding achievements and was transferred back to Xianyang recently.
"Don't go to the northwest. I'm going to let you go to the north to join General Li Mu. When General Li Mu is transferred to the eastern front, he and Meng Tian will expand the eastern frontier in two ways. Then I can rest assured that you will be stationed in White Wolf City.
." Zhao Huaizhong said.
Nei Shiteng was in high spirits. Zhao Huaizhong's words contained great trust and recognition for him, which made him emotional.
The atmosphere of the small court meeting was pleasant. The ministers reported various matters and then withdrew.
After the ministers left, Zhao Huaizhong heard a thumping sound coming from the gourd, so he took out a Yinsi bronze door.
Di Ting also ran out.
Inside the bronze door, a fat 'crocodile' crawled out from the door, its scarlet scales opened and closed, but it was actually a candle dragon.
This guy ate havoc and devoured a large number of Yin spirits in the Gate of the Underworld. Not only was his figure severely deformed, but his strength also soared like a breath of air. He had already reached the level corresponding to the fourth realm of the Saint, and was one step short of being promoted to the final level before being promoted to the Golden Immortal.
One realm.
Zhao Huaizhong held the candle dragon in the mana light ball in his hand.
It spreads its scarlet flying wings, and its eyes are vertical pupils. When they open and close, they are cold and dark, making them extremely intimidating.
It is said that if the candle dragon opens its eyes, it is day, and if it closes its eyes, it is night.
But this is not the case at all. It opens its eyes at dawn and closes them at dusk. It follows the changes of heaven and earth, pretending that it can control day and night.
When Zhao Huaizhong first started to raise it, he found that it opened and closed its eyes as the world changed. For a time, he felt that he had raised a fake candle dragon.
When I think about it carefully, I find it quite interesting and very spiritual.
Zhulong ran out and said that eating all the time was not enough and wanted to go out for a walk to digest food.
Gu Qiao
"I happen to be going out, let's go for a walk together."
Zhao Huaizhong took a step forward, and the space was calm, but he had disappeared from the study, and Diting and Zhulong also followed him to Jiufang Mountain.
At this time, in Jiufang Mountain, there was a huge beehive hanging on one of the mountains.
Chinensis bees fly everywhere diligently, helping many medicinal plants in the medicinal garden and spreading seeds.
In the yard on the other side, there is a nest of silkworm babies that have just been born, chewing leaves in slow motion, chewing slowly.
What is surprising is that the peach tree has already produced new flat peaches, covering the branches, but they are still only as big as green apricots, full of spiritual energy, and have not yet matured.
Zhao Huaizhong stopped by Jiufang Mountain to take a look, and immediately stretched out his hand to make a false move, and the imperial chariot appeared out of thin air.
He boarded the chariot and prepared to take a walk in the fairy world and stop by Lao Tzu and others.
The green dragon pulling the cart was about to take off, but Zhulong flew to its side, stretched and changed its body, and grew to a size no less than that of the green dragon, and let out a dragon roar.
It opened its eyes and gave Qinglong a wink.
Qinglong closed his eyes in surprise.
The roar of the Zhulong means that it wants to pull the cart, so let the Qinglong give up its position to it.
There's a dragon coming to take over the job of pulling the cart. What's going on with this little guy?
Qinglong has always felt that pulling a cart undermines the majesty of the real dragon, but Zhulong actually rushes to do it?
Qinglong looked back at Zhao Huaizhong and saw that the powerful Human Emperor had no objection, so he quickly shrank his body and got away from the shaft of the imperial chariot.
Zhulong hurriedly got in, his wings spread wide.
The green dragon shrank in size and became about ten feet long. It coiled around the shaft of the chariot where the imperial pole was placed, motionless like a sculpture.
I have driven a car many times, and it was my first time to ride in a car, and I felt very happy.
"Let's go north." Zhao Huaizhong said.
Chiliu!
The mantras on the candle dragon's wings were intertwined, and a scarlet lightning shot through the sky without a trace.
The candle dragon flapped its wings several times and flew thousands of miles away. The speed became faster and faster, and it flew higher and higher.
On the chariot, both Di Ting and Qing Long were surprised by Zhu Long's speed.
Titing carefully looked at the ground below and saw that the mountains, rivers and land were retreating rapidly. The mountains below had shrunk to the size of black beans. She suddenly shuddered secretly: "Human Emperor, I want to go back to the gourd."
Zhao Huaizhong looked and listened carefully.
"I am a mythical beast from the underworld. I am afraid of heights. This car is going too fast." Di Ting said pitifully.
What is the inevitable connection between underworld mythical beasts and fear of heights?
The mythical beasts of the underworld have to stick to the ground and cannot go to the sky?
"You exercise." Zhao Huaizhong did not agree.
The mountains and rivers of the fairy world continue to recede below, with strange mountains and beautiful waters, towering ancient trees, and continuous seas of clouds. The scenery is superb.
With Zhulong's speed of thousands of miles in an instant, after traveling for more than half a day, he had crossed millions of miles of mountains and rivers.
As we moved forward, the cities we occasionally passed below became more and more lively, but we headed north from Jiufang Mountain, all the way to the central state of the fairyland.
Eventually, the candle dragon entered a mountain range southeast of the central state.
As you go up the mountain range, you enter a secret realm of space.
This is one of the Tianwaitian Taoist temples where Chanjie retreats from this world.
Zhao Huaizhong came to Laozi, Confucius and others for help, hoping to work together to peel off the qi of the low-grade innate spiritual treasure binding the immortal lock, and use it to repair the cracks in the demon refining pot.
Zhao Huaizhong was not sure when it came to innate artifacts, so he had to find help.
Xunzi and Zou Yan are actually here, and everyone has officially joined forces to form an association of immortals and demons from China. They help each other and have great potential.
Zhao Huaizhong stayed until evening before returning to Xianyang.
When I went there, I wanted to see the mountains and rivers in the fairy world, so I used a candle dragon to pull the cart. When I went back, I just teleported through the air.
Time passed, and in late November, the Qin Imperial Army, led by Li Xin, rushed to the northwest to join Lian Po, and then divided into two groups to attack the countries in the Western Regions.
For more than ten days in the second half of the year, the Qin army defeated the six kingdoms in the Western Regions, and their troops were approaching Loulan. They were extremely powerful, and their troops were directed towards Qiuci.
At this time, the countries in the Western Regions finally gave up and submitted their letters of credence again, expressing their willingness to become vassal and merge with the Qin Dynasty. There was no longer any luck and no chance to negotiate terms.
At the end of November, the Qin Army's Lian Po Division and the Forbidden Army Li Xin's Division crossed through the countries in the Western Regions and came to the westernmost side of Dawan, the border with the Kingdom of Kangyi.
Zhao Huaizhong passed the imperial decree and ordered Lian Po to be the general of the Western Front troops and horses, with full authority to mobilize the Western Front troops and horses for defense.
Yang Ruihe, Fan Yuqi and Li Xin were appointed as deputy generals.
Among them, Li Xin led the Imperial Guards to move north along the Western Front and completely opened up the defense line on the Western Front.
News that the Qin army had moved into various countries in the Western Regions to set up defenses spread quickly, and was discovered by the Kangyi Kingdom to the west of Dawan.
Knowing that Dawan was annexed by Qin in the east, the Qin people extended the national border to the place bordering Kangyi.
The country of Kangyi on the opposite side was very excited and regarded the Qin army as the next 'fat sheep' that could be attacked, suppressed and exploited.
At the same time, envoys from the various countries in the city were heading east again, preparing to go to Xianyang.
This time they came to formally sign the letter of credence, submit a surrender form, and merge into the Qin Dynasty. They asked Zhao Huaizhong to adjust and set up the countries in the Western Regions as prefectures and counties in accordance with the fate of the Qin Dynasty, and to change everything according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty.
That evening, Zhao Huaizhong received a message from Lian Po through the bone mirror: "In the country of Kangyi... I have made some special discoveries. Please take a look at them."
