Chapter 35 Drinking Tea
After Hua Yuelong handed the drawings to Yi Xiaochuan, Yi Xiaochuan immediately understood Hua Yuelong's idea, so after they got together, he hurriedly returned to Xianyang City and handed the drawings to Ying Zheng. After obtaining the drawings, Ying Zheng was extremely happy and praised Yi Xiaochuan. In addition, Gao wanted to assist, but the Heavenly Palace was not completed, so he ordered Yi Xiaochuan to speed up the progress and handed over all the captured alien slaves on the frontier to Yi Xiaochuan.
It is worth mentioning that since the Xiongnu and Rongdi were crippled, there were no powerful aliens outside the Qin Dynasty, so they quickly became a paradise for slave hunting teams. Nowadays, a large number of slaves are traded out every day in some people's markets, and Ying Zheng also took the opportunity to issue a decree. All the people of the Qin Dynasty are not slaves. If they violate the order, they will be fined fifty gold at the least, and if they are convicted, the house will be directly confiscated. However, they acknowledged the existence of alien slaves. The most important thing is that slaves can pay for corvee service for the master's family. After half a year of accumulation, they will be in corvee service at this time.
There were nearly 300,000 foreign slaves, and the number increased with the increase of time. With the addition of these hundreds of thousands of slaves, the construction of the Great Wall was coming to an end. Therefore, Ying Zheng transferred those slaves to Yi Xiaochuan to build the Heavenly Palace. He also had a long time ago to kill all the migrant workers and slaves who built the Heavenly Palace after the construction of the Heavenly Palace. In any case, he seemed that these people were mostly people who were involved in rebellion, or slaves. If they died, they would not suffer any major losses to the entire Qin Dynasty.
Because the transportation is not very convenient now, when Hua Yuelong returns to Xianyang City, the gate of Xianyang City will also be closed.
Hua Yuelong, who had just returned to the mansion, saw letters coming from all over the place on the table. Hua Yuelong hesitated for a moment, but shook his head slightly, then walked to the table to open the letters one by one.
The content of the letters is mostly about the construction of academies in various places. The Jixia Academy in Xianyang City has also gotten on track under the personal supervision of Hua Yuelong. Famous talents from all over the country have also come one after another. Most of the talented people in the academy belong to Juxiantang. Hua Yuelong never expected that Juxiantang would have so many scholars.
But if you think about it carefully, it feels normal. Juxiantang has Fusu hosted it and recruited talents from all over the world. This not only includes those warriors who want to show their ambitions on the battlefield, but also those talented men who want to benefit the people.
At this time, because there was no trouble on the frontier, most of the soldiers of the Meng family and the soldiers of the Tiance Army who were transferred were arranged by Hua Yuelong and Meng Tian in various important passes of the Qin Dynasty. In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, many of the county soldiers in various places were controlled by the nobles and their combat effectiveness were not strong. Therefore, at the instructor of Hua Yuelong, a new recruit battalion was specially formed to recruit 100,000 new recruits, and the soldiers of the Tiance Army were instructors. After nearly half a year of training, except for the lack of veterans decisive during the battle, the rest were not much different from the current veterans in the training. In order to train these new recruits, Hua Yuelong specifically asked that when suppressing bandits, he must bring some new recruits to let them see blood. Therefore, overall, with the current military strength of the Qin Dynasty, the current military force can still cope with the chaos in the country.
The last letter in these letters was written by someone sent by Hua Yuelong to follow Cui Wenzi. What surprised Hua Yuelong was that Cui Wenzi did not throw away the spies, but instead agreed to their stalking. Hua Yuelong's original intention was to know his approximate location, but he did not expect that he did not hide it at all. You must know how could he not find the people sent by Hua Yuelong with Cui Wenzi? The reason why Hua Yuelong sent someone to follow him was because Hua Yuelong did not completely believe Cui Wenzi's words. After all, the intention to harm others should not be defensive. Although he has reached the boundaries of this world, he felt a profound and unfathomable aura from Cui Wenzi several times. He did not say it to Cui Wenzi, but he had a feeling that Cui Wenzi's strength has now broken through the upper limit of this world.
"Cui Wenzi, what do you want to do?" Hua Yuelong walked to the door, murmured at the bright moon in the sky.
Somewhere in Xianyang City
A young man who looked a little feminine, dressed in Xiao Si, stood respectfully behind a man in black.
"Sir, I have put all the medicine into Your Majesty's meals in the past few days, and it has never stopped," the man said respectfully with his head down.
"Well, you did a good job, go, I will take good care of your family, your younger brother has entered the academy now, so go with peace of mind." The man in black just nodded his head to the man's answer, and then said coldly.
After hearing this, a trace of despair appeared on the man's face, but he did not resist. He took out a short sword from his sleeve and directly chā jìn his chest.
He was a dead soldier trained by the black-clad family since he was a child. He was sent to the palace as a eunuch a few years ago. If he had no orders, he could have lived in the palace until he grew old. Although he became a eunuch, his life was much better than his previous life. However, his happy life was short. He was awakened some time ago. The headman gave him a bottle of medicine and let him spread the medicine into the meal every day, which would take seven days to stop. When he knew that he was going to drug Qin Shihuang, he was also shocked, but when the other party brought his ancestral magma to him, he finally realized that he was still not out of their control.
After finishing his work, he had already understood whether to die or live. How could he still have hope of living by poisoning Qin Shihuang? In the end, he could only accept reality silently.
The man in black turned around and walked out directly. He did not take a look at the people on the ground. There were many such dead soldiers.
After a long circle, the man in black finally stopped outside the tall wall of a house. After repeatedly confirming that there was no one around, he jumped up and quickly entered the courtyard with his feet.
"Father, the matter has been done." The man in black came to a door and pushed the door directly into it. When he saw the middle-aged man sitting on the head seat, he immediately said respectfully.
"The Zheng family has sent a message to tell me that things have been done, how are the rest of the matter prepared?" the middle-aged man asked after savoring the tea.
Because of the gradual promotion of tea ceremony, more and more people like drinking tea, and even he is not included, because there are too many things to do, and drinking tea can refresh himself. Over time, he fell in love with drinking tea and always drink it habitually when doing things.
"The others are not optimistic, because now the Qin Dynasty wants all the people who want it fall into the hands of the Meng family army and the Tiance army. Although there are now 36 counties in the Qin Dynasty, except for the three counties that were not long after they were established, only the nobles of fifteen counties are willing to raise trouble with us, and all the schools of thought are also sarcastic, only guaranteeing that they will not betray us, and there is no response."
He said this with a hint of anger on his face. After all, this time they were trying to maintain the interests and status of the nobles. However, they never expected that after some temptations, they found that some nobles were actually bribed by the interests thrown out by Qin Shihuang. Some thought that the general situation was not violated, and actually took the initiative to follow the footsteps of the Qin Empire, and they were even more timid and afraid to join.
"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. When we get things done, it's too late to regret it. Moreover, most of these people are waiting and watching. They are like fencemen. As long as we have the advantage, we won't be afraid of them." The middle-aged man raised his hand and pressed him down for a moment, and the man immediately shut up his mouth.
A few days later, Hua Yuelong finally handled everything at hand. It seemed that the weather was good outside, so he practiced swordsmanship in the backyard on a whim. The swordsmanship seemed to be out of order and did whatever he wanted, but each sword was filled with all the energy and spirit of Hua Yuelong, and Hua Yuelong was also immersed in it. Because of the busy period, Hua Yuelong had to give up his sword practice habit and get up early and go to bed late all day. However, he didn't expect that after many days, he would make a small breakthrough in swordsmanship after regaining the swordsmanship.
As time went by, Hua Yuelong's sword became more and more fierce. After a while, Hua Yuelong could not bear it anymore. Although he was tired, his eyes were filled with brilliance.
Just as Hua Yuelong took the silk scarf from his maid, a guard ran over panting and said loudly after seeing Hua Yuelong.
"Sir, Your Majesty is critically ill." The soldiers who ran to him didn't care about saluting and immediately said what they had just said again.
"What did you say?" Hua Yuelong's first feeling was that you were joking with me, but after seeing the urgent and panic expression of the visitor, Hua Yuelong's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley.
"Sir, Your Majesty is critically ill. Before your Majesty is unconscious, he is urgently recruiting you to enter the palace."
Seeing Hua Yuelong's disbelief, the guard spoke again, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
Hua Yuelong immediately reacted, threw the things in his hand to the side, picked up the clothes on the maid's hand and rushed out.
"Come here, find Cui Wenzi for me immediately." Hua Yuelong walked out the door quickly, touched the pocket on his clothes and immediately ordered around him.
When Hua Yuelong arrived in the palace, he found that Ying Zheng was in a coma at this time, and Fusu had arrived, but Meng Tian, who was the strong minister, did not arrive.
After seeing Hua Yuelong coming, Fusu immediately stood up and made way for Hua Yuelong because he knew that the last plague was cured by the elixir given by Hua Yuelong.
"Master Hua, can it be cured? My father has taken the elixir, but it still has not improved." Fusu looked at Hua Yuelong anxiously and said with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Young Master, don't worry." After saying that, Hua Yuelong took out a box from his arms. The box contained the life-saving pill refined by Hua Yuelong. This pill is extremely difficult to practice. Hua Yuelong has only refined two pills so far, but only one of his effects is to save his life. However, due to multiple injuries, one pill can protect his life for three days. Hua Yuelong had thought about it before coming. Even the spiritual pills cannot be cured, so his half-barrel of water will be useless. As long as he can temporarily save Ying Zheng's life, it's enough, because Cui Wenzi will definitely arrive within three days.
But blessings come unparalleled, and misfortunes never come alone. Just as Hua Yuelong saved Ying Zheng's life, he heard someone come to report that Meng Tian was also critically ill.
Hua Yuelong became very angry after hearing this.
