Chapter 114: Qin Chen presents a book
Yan Shigu felt a little embarrassed after hearing Li Chengqian's words. After a while, he said, "I'll try it."
Li Chengqian knew that it was difficult to make him do it, so he thought about going back to find Li Ke and asked him to write a letter to Li You to ask him to return to Chang'an.
Thinking of these things, Li Chengqian had no intention of seeing the scenery here, so he took the people back.
Li Chengqian and his party walked along the river bank and saw the thick smoke rising from the iron smelting workshop. Because Li Chengqian thought the coal smoke was too heavy, he wanted to take a detour to the place where the carriage was stopped. However, he saw an official wearing a purple robe walking towards him. When he saw Li Chengqian and his party speeding up.
When Li Chengqian saw that he knew he had something to come to him, he stopped and waited for him to approach him.
"My memory Jiang Xingben pays homage to the Crown Prince." The person who came came panted and walked to Li Chengqian and bowed.
Li Chengqian saw that the white beards of the people who were stuck together, and a layer of coal ash was covered with a few burnt places on his official robe. He didn't know what happened, so he said in confusion: "Jiang Qing's family is flat, I wonder what's wrong with you?"
"Ah!" Jiang Xingben was stunned when he heard this, then followed Li Chengqian's hand and looked at himself, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I have just been out of the iron smelting workshop. I am really rude. Please forgive me for your crime."
Seeing Jiang Xingben being embarrassed, Yan Shigu Ren stepped forward and joked, "Sir Jiang, what are you going to do here as a master craftsman? You are not going to be a supervisor and don't smelter it, it's useless if you steal the master here?"
Jiang Xingben hurriedly greeted Yan Shigu and said, "I have met Grand Secretary Yan, but Xingben is really a stolen master. After only a few days of reading, he still doesn't understand some parts, so I came here to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian became interested when he heard this. This is a Jiang Xingben, but he is a capable man. He was the construction of Luoyang Palace and Jiucheng Palace. Hou Junjimio Gaochang was the deputy general manager of the marching. Many of the siege equipment were built by him.
Li Chengqian looked at Jiang Xingben and smiled and said, "What's the matter with Jiang Qing's family? "
"When I go back to the prince, I have been watching the plowshares here these days. I saw that each of them made the same and then put them together, and finally they were faster than others. I can't figure out what if the things they made couldn't be put together?" Jiang Xingben solemnly, gestured with his hands while saying to Li Chengqian.
After listening to him patiently, Li Chengqian found that it was just a nonsense.
He then raised his foot and walked forward, saying, "Is there any plowshare that can't be loaded together?"
Seeing this, Jiang Xingben hurriedly followed and laughed, "It's because there is nothing that cannot be installed together that I don't understand, because I want to use this method to build siege tools."
Li Chengqian stopped after hearing this and turned around and said, "So that's the case! Then you just need to remember that as long as the sizes of each part are the same, he can put them together."
"Ah?" Jiang Xingben didn't understand after hearing this, and looked at Li Chengqian with confusion.
When Li Chengqian saw this, he rolled his eyes and wanted to slap him, but seeing that he was also a technical talent, he had to explain patiently again: "For example, we want to make a siege ladder. There are two main woods to be used as pillars. The others are made of small wooden sticks, right?"
After hearing this, Jiang Xingben nodded quickly and said, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Li Chengqian continued: "If we had a hundred woods, they would be the same in size..."
"That's not easy to find!" Jiang Xingben said disapprovingly.
Li Chengqian glared at him and said, "Do you want to hear it?"
When Jiang Xingben heard this, he saw that Li Chengqian was angry, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I am rude for a moment, please forgive me for your crime!"
Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian said angrily: "Listen carefully. If there are a hundred pillars of similar length and size, then find someone to saw the cross-border wood, and only saw the cross-border wood of a pair of siege ladders, and then fifty sets of ladders are good cross-border wood. Can such cross-border wood be used to make fifty siege ladders?"
After hearing this, Jiang Xingben thought about it and said, "As long as the length and size of the pillars are not big, they can naturally be equipped with fifty siege ladders..." When he said this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said loudly: "I understand, as long as the size of the components is the same, you can install any one, haha..." Jiang Xingben was so happy that he laughed like a child.
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, couldn't bear to look directly, and turned around and continued walking forward with a crutch.
Other followers from the Eastern Palace, including Yan Shigu, looked confused at first, but when they saw the excited Jiang Xingben felt a little confused.
Li Chengqian walked to his carriage and was about to get on the carriage and suddenly heard Jiang Xingben shouting loudly from behind: "Your Highness the Prince, please wait."
"Huh?" All the ministers of the Eastern Palace felt that Jiang Xingben had no rules.
Li Chengqian thought that Jiang Xing was good, and maybe he would make some inventions in the future, so he stopped and waited for him.
Jiang Xingben once again panted and bowed to Li Chengqian, saying, "How dare you ask the Crown Prince where did you get such a clever trick?"
Li Chengqian had already thought about this when he invited Li Shimin and the civil and military ministers to the iron smelting workshop, but neither Li Shimin nor the civil and military ministers asked about technology at that time.
So there was also a missing opportunity for Li Chengqian to show off. Now Jiang Xing originally asked, Li Chengqian would naturally not miss this opportunity.
"This is the eighteen Qin laws that a minister presented to the Lone King when he was dreaming."
"Eighteen Qin laws?" Yan Shigu and Jiang Xingben said at the same time, and then began to think.
After a while, Yan Shigu looked at Li Chengqian and said, "I have never heard of the eighteen Qin laws?" Jiang Xingben saw that Yan Shigu had never heard of it, so he nodded and said that he had never heard of it either.
Li Chengqian thought to himself: It's right that he had never heard of it, but Mian Tu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "How could it be that there is no one? That person looks very loyal. Since he has given a letter to the Gu Wang, he must have."
"Your Highness, Qing asked what the person who presented the book said? For example, what is his name? Where is his home? What is his career?" When he heard that someone presented a book to Li Chengqian, Yan Shigu, who had never read it, immediately became interested.
Li Chengqian was waiting for him to ask, and he hurriedly said, "He said his name was Xi, he had been an Anlu Lingshi. He joined the army to attack Pingyang, Zhao State in the fifteenth year. In the twenty-eighth year, the king of the orphans went to Taishan to return to Anlu when he was still welcomed..." Li Chengqian suddenly stopped and looked at Yan Shigu and said, "Mr. Yan is wrong?"
Yan Shigu also stared at Li Chengqian with wide eyes, and after a long time he trembled, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the eighteen kinds of Qin laws, he is a minister of the Qin Dynasty...
According to "Records of the Grand Historian", in the fifteenth year of King Zheng of Qin, a large army was launched to attack Taiyuan. Although the battle of Pingyang was not recorded, I think there should be this year.
Moreover, the 28th year of King Qin was the second year of Qin's unification of the six kingdoms. Qin Shihuang enfeoffed Qinshan in the east and came back to pass by Anlu..." Yan Shigu said more and more afraid that in the end he could only look at Li Chengqian but could not continue.
Seeing that the effect was achieved, Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Is the Lone King the reincarnation of Qin Shihuang?"
"Ah!" Zhao Jie, who was standing next to Li Chengqian, screamed out in fear. Everyone else looked at Li Chengqian's eyes.
"All nonsense, how could the Lone King be the reincarnation of Qin Shihuang!" Li Chengqian deliberately pretended not to believe it.
"I think it was because the ghost saw that the heroic martial arts in the Crown Prince's Palace were some of the saints and wise kings who had a mistake." Yan Shigu hurriedly continued, but in fact he didn't even believe this.
"It must be like this." Li Chengqian nodded and expressed his approval.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, since Qin minister offered the book to Youther Highness the Crown Prince, did he not tell where the book was?" Yan Shigu tentatively.
"He said this, saying that he was sleeping in his house on the west side of Yunmeng County. By the way, he said that his house had water in, so he asked the Lone King to send someone to get it as soon as possible. If you don't mention Lone King today, you have forgotten it. If you go back, send someone to get it."
Yan Shigu and Jiang Xingben were speechless. The man had been dead for hundreds or thousands of years. Where is his home?
