"Is Fusu so willing to bow down and surrender?" Ying Zheng was at Meng Wu's home and heard the news that Fusu had already surrendered, his face looked gloomy and clear. Fusu is his previous heir. Even though Fusu believes in Confucianism, Ying Zheng has put a lot of effort into Fusu over the years. Ying Zheng has never denied Fusu's talent. If Zhao Ling had not been born, Fusu would definitely be the most suitable candidate among the princes. Fusu has his arrogance, otherwise how could he dare to openly refute Ying Zheng’s views in the court? Ying Zheng was even a little unbelievable, and Fusu gave in to the throne. That's the throne! Is he really not as domineering as the king, or is Zhao Ling really too outstanding?
Ying Zheng really angered him for not fighting and not daring to fight! Meng Wu sat down at the lower head, looked at Ying Zheng with a gloomy face, and spoke tentatively: "Your Majesty, isn't this very good? If Young Master Fusu is unwilling to surrender to the second Young Master, wouldn't it be a tragic death and a soldier meet?" Ying Zheng sat there, took a sip of white wine, and did not answer Meng Wu's question, but looked at Meng Wu coldly: "Even if the rebellious son solved the Hu trouble, he valued the merchants and wanted to let those civilians go. Isn’t reading and practicing calligraphy a fundamental problem of chaos in the country?” Ying Zheng said that, but after he learned about Zhao Ling’s actions, he kept thinking about a question in his mind: Is Zhao Ling’s right or wrong doing this? He has never been a scheming emperor, otherwise he would not have done so many unprecedented feats. "The Book of Shangjun" also says: "The law means love the people, and the etiquette means making things easy. If you don't follow the law, if you can benefit the people, you will not follow the etiquette." Shang Yang also believed that the legal system must adapt to the needs of the times. Reforms of the times were the governing strategy adopted by ancient emperors and hegemons. Rulers must reform and reform in order to strengthen the country and benefit the people. If Zhao Ling can solve the internal and external troubles of the Qin Dynasty and make the people feel full and well-dressed, why shouldn’t businessmen be reused and let the people feel full and well-dressed? But the deep-rooted thoughts told him that the people should not know too much, and that more and more people will rebel... "Your Majesty, don't forget the one-year agreement." Meng Wu reminded, "What the second prince is doing now may not be wrong. Your Majesty might as well see if the second prince can solve the problem of the Hu people first and wait and see if it works." Ying Zheng and Meng Wu had a one-year agreement, and Zhao Ling did not attack Fusu and any of the young masters. He made Wang Wan surrender again in just a few words, and even let Wang Wan and Zhang Liang stand on the same front. Ying Zheng had to admit that Zhao Ling had some tricks. Ying Zheng came to Mengwu Mansion and saw the strange things Zhao Ling gave to Mengwu. He was even more curious about Zhao Ling, where did his second young master learn from? Does Wei Liao have such ability? Why doesn't he know? Ying Zheng looked at the fine food on the plate and the kitchen knife presented by Liu Ji... The food in Daqin is cooked, even if it is meat, it is large. Even if the meat that the noble emperor eats at most is cooked and add some salt. The dishes made by Zhao Ling for Meng Wu were all full of color, flavor, and the dishes were exquisite. The meat was divided into small pieces before it was served and placed on the plate. There are all kinds of condiments such as pepper, chili pepper, star anise, etc. After eating Ying Zheng once, his taste buds were conquered. This time, when he went to Mengwu Mansion, he saw the kitchen knife used by the chef.
In the late Warring States Period, the use of iron tools in China was already quite common, but due to the limitations of iron smelting technology, block iron smelting, crucible iron smelting and blast furnace iron smelting have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although block iron smelting can obtain high-quality weapons, its production efficiency is low. , high cost, and can only be forged into simple shapes and cannot be used on a large scale. Therefore, the weapons and armor of the Qin Dynasty were generally bronze ware. The kitchen knife Zhao Ling gave the chef was made of carbon steel. In Ying Zheng's opinion, although this kitchen knife is not a magic weapon, it is useless to use it to cook and cut meat. "Liu Ji, are you saying that the people of Sanchuan County can buy this kind of kitchen knife in shops? Any restaurant in Sanchuan County eats this kind of dish?" Ying Zheng sat on the main seat and played with the kitchen knife in his hand. Meng Wu sat aside, and Liu Ji stood in front of Ying Zheng. Liu Ji already knew that Ying Zheng was still alive, but he did not tell Zhao Ling: "Report to Your Majesty, that's true." Ying Zheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The Qin Dynasty's agricultural tools also had a lot of iron tools, but the number was very small. Zhao Ling made these iron tools into kitchen knives and sold them to the people. What exactly is hidden in Sanchuan County? Meng Wu also brought someone a set of equipment for ordinary soldiers in the death row camp. A steel saber with a blood groove, a spear made of fine iron, a set of fish scale armor, and a steel helmet. Ying Zheng got up and picked up the saber and slashed it on the beam and gap was left on it. He grabbed the spear and weighed it, then looked at the scale armor carefully... Ying Zheng took a deep breath and asked, "Liu Ji, are Zhao Ling's 10,000 cavalry troops of this kind?" Liu Ji did not look up: "It's not entirely true." Ten thousand iron cavalry are all of this kind of equipment. How strong the combat power should be? Ying Zheng dare not imagine. This was cultivated by Zhao Ling with the power of a county. No! There are also 90,000 infantrymen, and they are also well-equipped! The key is that Ying Zheng only found out in the past few days. If Zhao Ling was allowed to govern the entire Qin Dynasty and gather the wealth of a country, what kind of army could it build? Do the Hu people really have an advantage under such cavalry? Zhao Ling didn't even plan to use troops against the Hu people. Ying Zheng tried to destroy the Hu people because of the book of prophecy and destiny, but after fighting, he realized that the Hu people were not so easy to destroy. Zhao Ling was fine, but he didn't take Hu people seriously. Ying Zheng hopes that Fusu can have the domineering spirit of an emperor. After all, that is the eldest son he values, but Zhao Ling brought too many shocks and surprises to Ying Zheng. He hoped that Fusu would not compromise so easily, but he did not hope that Zhao Ling and Fusu would be crippled with each other and had many conflicts. Ying Zheng asked again: "Liu Ji, are you saying that over the years, the information transmissions of Zhao Ling and Xianyang have been transmitted through a kind of bird called pigeons?" Liu Ji nodded and said nothing more: "That's right." "Zhang Han, follow me to Sanchuan County."
Ying Zheng decided to go to Sanchuan County first to take a look. Six emperor seals have been handed over to Zhao Ling. Fusu has nothing to do, and Ying Zheng also wants to see what the so-called "worldly land on earth" looks like. Ying Zheng stared at Liu Ji and said without anger, "Liu Ji, I ordered you to use pigeons to convey information to Sanchuan County and me every day. What can you do?" Liu Ji was neither happy nor sad, and answered: "I obey the order!" Ying Zheng suddenly felt that the Sanchuan County Magistrate named Liu Ji in front of him seemed a little unsimple: "Zhao Ling's subordinates are like you. Even if they face me, are they still not surprised by the favor and disgrace?" After all, Liu Ji did not turn into a dragon. Because of Zhao Ling's appearance, he was just Liu Ji, not Liu Bang. Everything Zhao Ling did made him far beyond his reach, and he ruined his idea of becoming an emperor. He just bowed his head and said, "I am under the Second Prince's Sect." But he is a poor person."
