Chapter 138 If I Treat You So Well, I Am Not Your Brother? (Two in One)
What Ying Chengyu wants to do is to enlighten the people's wisdom, develop in an all-round way, and advance the Qin State as a whole for an era, or even two eras.
There was more than two thousand years between the Qin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty, but the leap in technological level was not as big as two thousand years.
Such as guns.
If you talk about building a Dongfeng Express, then this is definitely a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for Ying Chenglong.
But building a musket and artillery was not as difficult as imagined with the power of Qin.
First of all, the gunpowder has been produced by the group of alchemists, and then the steel for casting the gun barrel has also been figured out by the Mohist family through continuous research and development over the years. This is basically more than half completed.
Don’t underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Wooden cows and flowing horses have not yet been solved.
To be more picky, ask for a certain amount of concavity error in the rifling and a certain diameter for each bullet.
In modern times, there are machines that can perform deep processing, so this is not difficult.
In the Qin Dynasty, there were no machines and all the work was done by hand. Was it difficult?
It's not difficult either.
The Qin Dynasty was a deformed country. It was so deformed that every brick cast on the Great Wall had a name written on it. If there was any problem with any brick, the caster would be directly contacted.
For this group of craftsmen from the Qin State, accuracy is required, right? No problem.
Bring me a mold. If I don’t make you an exact replica, I’ll give you the head.
Due to the lack of deep processing by machines and extremely long hand rubbing, epoch-making weapons such as guns and cannons cannot be mass-produced.
But if you want to create it, it's basically not a big problem.
Ying Chengxuan explained the physical form, simple principles, and required materials to these Mohists and public losers.
The rest is a process of trial and error, and this is how cement is made.
The invention process is difficult, but the most difficult thing is the idea, and imagination is very important.
There is also hybrid rice. To put it simply, two types of rice, such as high-yielding rice and grass-tolerant rice, are continuously crossed to create a new generation of rice.
Without modern equipment, it is difficult to accurately measure temperature and humidity, so let’s not measure it for now.
Let’s crossbreed first, why don’t we eat pigs without a butcher’s knife?
The reason why no results have been produced for so long is that this project requires a large number of samples, artificial plants, and seeds.
New China has been reforming and opening up for so long, and the country has fully supported it. It also took Mr. Yuan a long time to let the Chinese people have enough to eat.
Ying Chengyu was a younger brother of the emperor. In an illiterate and warlike country like the Qin Dynasty, if he wanted to make hybrid rice, it would be possible unless he changed his name to Liu Xiu.
Otherwise, even if Mr. Yuan is brought here, no one will have anything, and there is no way.
Without the support of the First Emperor, there would be no need to even think about promoting the development and progress of the times.
If you break away from the First Emperor and do it yourself, what you can do has already been done by Ying Chengyu.
These things that are limited by technology and ideas, Ying Chengyu has accomplished all of them.
Some are already in practical use, such as curved shaft plows, waterwheels, textile looms, etc.
Some were suppressed by the First Emperor, or Ying Chengyu did not put them into practical use after careful consideration, such as movable type printing, paper, etc.
Before the Qin Dynasty unified the world, Ying Chengyu gave up the throne to the First Emperor and has been eating, drinking and having fun as a hands-off shopkeeper.
Because manpower is limited, if we want to unify we have to fight, and to fight we need soldiers.
If these soldiers go to fight, they will have no way to develop.
Ying Chengyu also thought about developing first, but finally gave up.
It has to be said that the Military Merit Award is truly a timeless mechanism.
For quickly forming combat power in a short period of time, there is no one who can be better than a military meritorious official.
If Ying Chengxuan's farming development style is given twenty years, he will have enough confidence to kill the explosive style of the military system.
But in the end, the world will be unified through military means. Why delay when we can unify ten years earlier?
Moreover, in the same ten years, Ying Chengyu had no confidence in taking the world by storm with his farming style. There were too many problems.
Farming requires reform and restructuring, which will affect the interests of the vast majority of people in Qin.
Don't look back at the time when Ying Chengxuan was called the Little King of Qin. He was so popular that all the factions in the Qin State supported Ying Chengxuan.
That's because most of these factions believe that Ying Chengyu will lead them to sweep across the Six Kingdoms and bring them huge benefits.
If Ying Chengyu wanted to reform the law to change their existing interests, those people would obey and resist in a matter of minutes, resisting openly or covertly. The precedent of Shang Yang's reform is too obvious.
Even King Qin Zhuangxiang, who loved Ying Chengxi, would not agree to Ying Chengxi's reform.
Qin State relied on its military merits to rise from humble beginnings. Now it is prosperous, and it still needs to reform the law and system. Is it suffering from a mad disease?
And even if King Qin Zhuangxiang had extraordinary vision, he did not have the ability to suppress the entire Qin State.
There is only one Zheng Ge in history.
For these overt and covert reasons, Ying Chengyu resolutely decided to help Brother Cheap bring down the Six Kingdoms first, so as to save himself from long nights and long dreams.
When the Six Kingdoms came down, according to Ying Chengxuan's idea, they would reform the farming system.
Because it doesn’t make much sense to expand further.
If the technology tree is not set to a certain level, the Xiongnu, Donghu, and Qiang tribes will not be able to survive even if they conquer their territories.
This is caused by the difference between farming people and nomadic peoples.
The farming people built city walls, farmed the land, and generally followed the positional flow.
The nomadic people come and go like the wind, they live in pursuit of water and grass, they can run away with a large tent, and they follow a guerrilla flow.
With the current technological level of Great Qin, unless a city can be built on the grassland, there is no point in conquering it.
It’s not enough to build just one, you have to build a bunch of them into a system.
Otherwise, if the nomads surround an isolated city for a period of time, the city will explode.
The general development of the world is following the path set by Ying Chengyu.
When it came to the reform, Ying Cheng was stuck. He didn't expect that the First Emperor would not agree.
Perhaps it was because he had been in the Qin Dynasty for so long that even he, a time traveler, regarded the First Emperor as a prophetic god.
And there is more than one variable.
Ying Chengyu didn't expect it.
Without telling the First Emperor, he told his eldest nephew that Ying Fusu was going to Shangjun for a trial.
Shangjun is now Yulin, Shaanxi Province.
It is known as the first border county of Qin State and has jurisdiction over 19 counties.
To the northwest of Shangjun is Jiuyuan and Yunzhong, which borders the Xiongnu.
To the southwest of Shangjun is the Northland, and further to the southwest is Longxi, which borders the Qiang clan.
The soldiers and horses in Shangjun played an important role in reinforcing the border armies in the northwest and southwest, providing huge guarantee for the border armies in both places.
Once the Xiongnu came, the Qiang clan became powerful and the frontier army was defeated.
The Qin troops in Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Longxi and other places can all retreat to Shangjun to repair and wait for opportunities to regain the lost ground.
Now that the Great Wall has not been completed, Shangjun is the largest barrier in the northwest corner of Qin.
If the commandery is not lost, Qin will have depth on the northwest border.
Neither the Xiongnu nor the Qiang clan can burn, kill, and loot without restraint in the interior of Qin.
Unless, they want to try to encircle and suppress the Shangjun garrison, and want to give the Shangjun garrison a kill and military exploits.
Of course, no matter how important Shangjun is to the Qin State.
In essence, this is still a bitter and cold place.
As an important frontier fortress, its attributes determine that it has nothing to do with Yingge Yanwu.
There is a vast expanse of white snow, thousands of miles away.
The howling cold wind caused many soldiers in the Qin Dynasty to contract cold illnesses, and their knees suffered severe pain when it rained on cloudy days.
Some time ago, in order to cultivate Ying Fusu's power and eliminate his pedantry, the First Emperor specially ordered Meng Tian to accompany him to Shangjun for training.
Now that Ying Fusu came out of Dazheng Palace and was completely reborn, it stands to reason that he only needs to follow the First Emperor and learn from the First Emperor to govern the country, and he can successfully become the second emperor of Qin.
The development route assigned to him by the First Emperor, Ying Chengyu, did not include the task of expanding territory.
Just maintain stability, govern benevolently, and win the hearts and minds of the people.
Not to mention that Ying Chengyu didn't think of it, even the First Emperor didn't think of it.
Under such circumstances, their eldest nephew and eldest son took the initiative to go to Shangjun.
"My eldest nephew is interested."
Ying Chengyu sat down next to his eldest nephew and spoke warmly.
The First Emperor did not turn around, but his motionless body showed that he was also listening, listening intently.
"My uncle's way is to develop in a prosperous place to show its power. If you want to implement it in one city, Shangjun is fine, but if the entire land is Linzi, would Langya be better?"
Ying Chengyu didn't have much hope for Ying Fusu. These words were still teaching Ying Fusu and letting him consider the problem more comprehensively.
If it is just a pilot project in one city, it is meaningless.
With all the men in the world, he, Ying Chengyu, would have as many people as a city.
Without the permission of the First Emperor, suppression, development and restructuring of the entire territory, one city and two cities are of little significance.
But it is a good thing that Ying Fusu has this intention, and Ying Chengqian will not discourage his eldest nephew's enthusiasm.
Education is not about hitting hard and saying things like, "You can't do it, you're wrong, this is better."
Instead, we should give people confidence and seize the child's strengths. Give the child affirmation first, and then give better solutions.
You are right. Do you think this would work? Would it be better?
When it comes to developing farming, comparing Shangjun and Linzi, Linzi is naturally better because there is no military in Linzi.
Without military disturbance, the whole county of Linzi can be promoted to develop with one heart.
"No, uncle, Shangjun is better. The northwest of Shangjun connects Jiuyuan and Yunzhong counties, and the southwest connects with Longxi. Fusu is in Shangjun and can be in charge of military affairs. The military affairs are in my hands. The Meng family and the Li family are all standing behind Fusu.
Fusu will be able to promote his uncle to the whole country in the future."
Ying Chengqiao narrowed his eyes, he had underestimated his eldest nephew.
What Ying Fusu wanted was not the land of a city, but the Qin military and the barrel of a gun.
Nowadays, in the court, the Wang family with one family and two princes is the backbone of the military force. Wang Jian and Wang Ben, the father and son, are the most capable of fighting.
But there is another main line, which is the Meng family.
If the three generations of the Meng family were to fight against the Wang family and his son with two hundred thousand troops each, the Meng family would most likely not be able to defeat them.
But combat effectiveness is not the same as influence. The Meng family's influence in the Qin army far exceeds that of the Wang family.
In fact, Li Xin, the young general of Da Qin, is not worthy of the title of Li family, but Li Xin is young.
When Wang Jian grew old, the new generation of generals in the Qin Dynasty was obviously headed by Wang Bi, Meng Tian, and Li Xin.
Li Xin was very grateful to Meng Tian because of the battle against Chu.
Ying Fusu pulled Meng Tian and Li Xin, which is almost equivalent to controlling most of the future military power of the Qin Dynasty.
With this huge power, Ying Fusu has the qualities of a tyrant.
Ying Fusu experienced the massacre in the Dazheng Palace, where the Confucian scholars were almost cheated and the teacher almost died.
He didn't want to follow the path of benevolent governance and Shoucheng arranged by the First Emperor and Ying Chengyu. He wanted to be the second First Emperor.
The second son of Qin could make the world obey him with just one word.
"I'm not dead yet, and you want to seize power."
The First Emperor turned his back to Ying Fusu and said in a cold voice, his words seemed to freeze like ice in the cold wind.
"Father is unhappy?"
Ying Fusu sat up straight and stared at the back of the First Emperor with burning eyes.
The First Emperor held the King of Qin Sword and turned around to face the eldest son's staring eyes.
He saw the fighting spirit and ambition in Ying Fusu's eyes, and saw the readiness to move.
"You taught this?"
The First Emperor shifted his gaze to Ying Chengyu, who was sitting next to Ying Fusu.
"Laugh if you want, who are you trying to scare with a sullen face?"
Ying Chengyu curled his lips and said with an annoyed look on his face.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!"
The corners of the Emperor's lips grew wider and wider, and his laughter became clearer and clearer, causing the glazed tiles on the roof of Zhangtai Palace to tremble.
Gai Nie, who was on the roof of Zhangtai Palace, was startled. The venison in his hand fell on the roof tiles, and he patted the glazed tiles on the roof of the palace in dissatisfaction.
He lowered his head again and said to Zhao Gao, who was waiting outside the palace gate: "Do you still have something to eat?"
Zhao Gao looked unfaithful and was in a daze for a moment, but did not answer Gai Nie's question.
The officers waiting outside the door stood upright and did not show any doubts in their hearts.
What makes His Majesty so happy?
This curiosity outweighed the resentment towards Gai Nie for eating meat and drinking alcohol.
Holding a sword flower, the First Emperor raised the King of Qin's Sword horizontally in front of Ying Fusu.
"It's yours."
The King of Qin Sword, which symbolizes the power of the King of Qin, is right in front of you.
Obtaining this sword means taking over Qin and the world.
Ying Fusu gasped and did not reach out to pick it up immediately.
This was the first time that the First Emperor established his position in front of him as the prince, not the eldest son.
"Don't dare."
The First Emperor smiled, narrowed his eyes, and his movements were exactly the same as those of Ying Chengyu next to him.
"I dare!"
Ying Fusu roared and almost snatched the King Qin Sword from the hands of the First Emperor.
Today at the Xuandiao Hall, he and the First Emperor were going head-to-head and backing each other, which destroyed most of his respect for the First Emperor.
"The crown prince has been established. Now you will no longer have the chance to be king. Do you have any regrets?"
"What do you think, brother Huang?"
"You lazy boy, if you are ambitious, I will grant you half of the country to practice your way, so what!"
The First Emperor hated that iron could not be turned into steel.
"You have said a lot of your ideas, including development, reform, and reform, but it is better to just say something to Fusu. Why don't you dare to be like Fusu and take the military power to do it?"
Oh, are you crazy?
I will take good care of myself first, and then I will help the world.
You want me to review memorials every day until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night like you do, and hold all-staff meetings in Xianyang Hall from time to time. Twenty-four hours a day is not enough to keep me busy, why?
Ying Chengyu was too lazy to talk to the First Emperor and rolled his eyes at the First Emperor.
He has no regrets at all.
For him, the king's position is not respect, but a burden.
To put it more clearly, he just wants to enjoy the glory and wealth of being an emperor, but does not want to take on the responsibilities of an emperor.
He can talk, but he will never run errands.
The First Emperor felt helpless at Ying Chengyu's appearance.
In the heart of the First Emperor, Ying Chengyu was more suitable to be the master of the world than Ying Fusu.
The increase in grain production and the treasury money are all declaring that Ying Chengyu has strengthened Qin's strength.
But Ying Chengyu, who has such ability, has no ambition.
For a person without ambition, the First Emperor was really afraid that in the middle of the reform process, Ying Chengyu would find it boring and boring, so he would not change it.
Just like the throne of the King of Qin back then, the two brothers chatted about future development trends, and Ying Chengyu immediately gave up the throne that was within his reach.
For this reason, he even pretended to be stupid and deceived King Qin Zhuangxiang into thinking that it was Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji had cast some witchcraft on Ying Chengyu.
"I don't understand your uncle's way. The power of a country cannot be tested, and the power of a city is useless. I promise you seven counties: Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Taiyuan, Longxi, Beidi, Yanmen, and Shangjun."
"From today onwards, the seven counties will implement wartime strategies, and you will issue temporary laws and regulations. The northwest border of Great Qin is under your control, don't let me down."
Godson, the First Emperor was serious and willing to spend money.
In the entire northwest of the Qin Dynasty, Jiuyuan was the fiefdom of Mengtian, Yunzhong was the fiefdom of Mengyi and Mengwu, Yanmen was the fiefdom of Meng Ao, Longxi was the fiefdom of Li Xingxin, and Beidi was the fiefdom of Wei.
Taiyuan and Shangjun were not divided and were reserved for the Qin State.
Wen had the former left prime minister Wei Zhuang, and Wu had the Meng family and Li Xin.
The First Emperor initially built the backbone of the team for Ying Fusu.
"Fusu will never disappoint his father!"
Ying Fusu held the King of Qin's Sword with one hand and made a promise to the First Emperor in a deep voice.
"If you want to realize your dream, do you want to go to Shangjun with Fusu?"
"I won't go to the bitter cold place in Shangjun. I have to do everything myself. Why don't I die from exhaustion?"
Ying Chengyu touched his chin and thought briefly.
"I'll also send you a few people. I guess you will definitely take Chunyu Yue with you this time. I'm really afraid that you will be kidnapped again."
"Who are you going to send?" Before Ying Fusu could speak, the First Emperor could no longer hold himself back.
The Eternal Emperor had a hunch that the person his brother wanted to send would definitely not be an unknown person.
"Han Fei, Li Mu must go, one will practice law and the other will kill Hu. The safety of my eldest nephew is also a problem. Outside of Xianyang, there are always birds who like to assassinate. Send the group of secret guards around me, and I will return home for the rest.
Let’s see who is suitable.”
First Emperor:……
Li Mu, Han Feizhen has been asking for it for so long and you didn't give it. You sent Fusu away as soon as he went to Shangjun.
When did you have a group of secret guards around you? I don't even know.
Are you willing to take it out for Fusu's safety?
Why, your eldest nephew is your biological brother. If I treat you so well, I am no longer your biological brother...
"...You didn't mean that you can't command Li Mu, Han Fei."
"Yes, I can't command, but I can make suggestions. We have a good relationship, and they will usually listen to my suggestions. It's not a big problem. Just take half of the armored door through. It's easy to hide from open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows. The maid can't give it to you.
Yes, those are my harem preparation group."
Ying Fusu doesn't understand what secret guards and armored gates are.
But he understood the names Han Fei and Li Mu.
The prince of Da Qin was stunned for a moment.
The French giant Han Fei, the idol of his father, got the title of Han Fei Zi early. He combined the trinity of Legalist methods, techniques and power to write the masterpiece "Han Fei Zi".
Li Mu, Lord Wu'an of Zhao, defeated Wang Jian, the God of War of the Qin Dynasty. He blocked the Qin cavalry for many years and made the Xiongnu dare not go south to herd horses for ten years. He was a fierce man who had never been defeated in his life.
Weren't these two fierce men killed by the father?
Why are you at your uncle's place?
Is this the kind of team I, Ying Fusu, can have?
Looking at my father, he seems to be very greedy...
"Fusu, please go out and let me talk to your uncle about some personal matters..."
Half of this Zhuzi's armored door has been sent away! Is Fusu your biological son?
Back then, I wanted even a single armor-clad disciple to become a Langguan!
"only."
Ying Fusu responded.
"wrong."
Ying Chengyu hit Ying Fusu so hard that his brain collapsed.
"Say promise."
Ying Fusu's eyes changed, he nodded, and said quietly.
"promise."
After picking up the scabbard of King Qin's sword, Ying Fusu came out of Zhangtai Palace dressed in simple and elegant clothes with King Qin's sword on his waist.
Zhao Gao, who had been waiting outside the gate of Zhangtai Palace, saw the King of Qin sword on Ying Fusu's waist, and his pupils instantly shrank to the size of a pinhead.
That night.
Zhao Gao returned to his palace residence and released a white dove.
The white dove, with nothing tied to its feet, flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Three hundred miles in its direction is Yongdi.
The gate of Zhangtai Palace was closed, locking the two brothers in secret.
"Fusu is your son?"
"Hey, Brother Huang, don't make ethical jokes."
"Give it to Li Mu, give it to Han Fei, give it to the secret guard, give it to half of the armored door, why don't you give it to me?"
"What can I do for you? There are so many talented people in your court, including Wang Wan, Wang Jian, Wang Ben, and Wei Liao. There are Zhao Gao, Xia Wuji, Zhang Han, secret guards, and numerous ministers for protection. What can I do for you? Let's talk about me again. Even if I don’t give you a guarantee, don’t be so greedy.”
"The land under my command is like many people. Fusu can only control half of the Qin Dynasty, so the Meng family, Li Xin, Li Mu, and Han Fei can help me. Is this appropriate?"
"It's appropriate, it couldn't be more appropriate. My eldest nephew is a seedling now and needs careful care. He has finally grown into a qualified heir. Brother, you don't want to see Fusu Middle Road die young, right?"
"... How about you give me Li Mu and Han Fei, and I will open the Sixth Palace to you?"
"No matter what, I can't ejaculate, so what am I going to do there? If you solve the "Yellow Emperor" problem for me as soon as possible, this proposal will be attractive to me."
"Shuzi! Shuzi! I will chop you alive!"
"Oh, King Qin's sword was taken away by Fusu, what are you looking for?"
Crackling~
Ping ping ping pong~
"You deliberately let Dr. Lu Xu's two sons escape from Xianyang. If you give them hope and then make them despair, those who play with human nature are inhumane."
"Don't say it so harshly. He wanted to take advantage of women first, so I let Qingmei go and take revenge."
"What are you going to do with those families that privately sell scrapped ordnance?"
“In order to fight against foreign aggression, we must first settle within.”
"Why don't you think so?"
"They haven't messed with my woman long ago. Brother Huang is not in a hurry. Why should I be in a hurry?"
"...Shuzi!"
Dangjun, Shanfu County.
Today's Shan County, Heze City, Shandong Province.
A courtyard.
At the Xianyang Tower, I witnessed Ying Chengyu ordering Zhang Han to kill three foreign guests in public.
The foreign guest’s surname is Lu Mingwen and his given name is Shuping.
He led the Yinzhi Youth Academy who was once in Xianyang, and the brother of Tingwei Zuojian forced the steward of the building to leave and sexually entertained more than 40 people.
"master."
A steward led three servants to greet him and took the luggage from Lu Wen's hand.
There are green stone mills in the courtyard, as well as stables for three horses, two tall poplar trees, and the yellow soil is well-trodden. You can see that there are people walking here all year round.
A yard like this is only available to wealthy families.
"The master is back."
A woman dressed as a woman led an eleven or twelve-year-old girl out of the house to greet him.
Seeing that the clothes worn by the sinister young man next to her husband were very different from those in Shanfu County, the woman smiled and said, "This young talent is from a certain family. He is very impressive and very different from the people in our small place."
Lu Wen smiled reluctantly and introduced his wife: "This is the son of brother Lu Xu, Lu Shu. I didn't know until I arrived in Xianyang that brother Lu Xu had just studied and became a doctor at the Xianyang Doctoral Office."
Lu Wenzheng introduced himself, and the sinister young man looked at the eleven or twelve-year-old girl held by the woman, but there was evil in his eyes.
The girl has a beautiful appearance. Although she is young, her beauty has almost matured.
Her big eyes are like two small lakes, and her round face, perhaps due to her pampering, is as smooth and tender as a peeled egg.
The small lotus on her chest showed its sharp corners, causing the clothes to bulge slightly.
Being looked at so wildly by the sinister young man, the girl frowned her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows.
What is exposed in her eyes is not the squeamishness of an ordinary woman, but a kind of natural evil spirit.
"Uncle, is this my sister? Her name is unknown."
The sinister young man saw the evil spirit in the girl's eyes, and the evil intention became even stronger.
"The surname is Lu, the given name is Pheasant, and the given name is E-姁."
The girl didn't wait for her father Lu Wen to introduce her, and took the initiative to speak. Her voice was neither crisp nor loud, slightly hoarse, and slightly magnetic.
This kind of voice is called smoke voice in modern times.
