Zhao Tuo, a former military general of Zhao State, was from the Zhending clan of Julu, Wang Jian and Li Xin surrendered to Qin State after conquering Handan. Although they participated in the war to purge the six kingdoms, they were not very famous. Now they are just a young master, and they are still several levels away from Guannei Marquis. However, Wang Jian and his son retired, and Wang Gan and Wang Ling also died one after another. Meng Tian was unable to escape in the northwest. Therefore, there were not many generals who could really fight. Li Xin and Tu Sui, the second-tier generals who purge the six kingdoms, began to become the main force. Zhao Tuo was also one, but he was not reused due to his background.

That is to say, at this time, there were actually very few generals available in Qin Shihuang's hands.

In history, when Qin Shihuang conquered Lingnan, he had basically no name generals, so he had to use Tu Sui and Zhao Tuo. However, the result was that he could not adapt to the terrain and climate of Lingnan. Moreover, the front was too large and the food was not enough to provide food and grass. The soldiers, prisoners who transported food and grass, and the civilians were seriously disagreeable. From 219 BC to 214 BC, the five-year war not only lost hundreds of thousands of troops and logistics personnel, but Tu Sui was also attacked by Yue people at night. This battle seriously consumed the national strength of Qin and caused the foundation of Qin to begin to shake. Although Qin Shihuang later absorbed it. After Tu Sui's experience of failure, he sent additional troops to force the deceased (descendants), son-in-law (son-in-law, generally referring to untouchables), and the Jiaren (merchant) followed the army and lived with the local Yue tribes after occupying a place. This allowed the captured Baiyue tribe to slowly stabilize. However, until the year when Qin Shihuang died, Zhao Tuo was still leading the army to war with the Yue tribes. In other words, although the Lingnan land conquered and set up three counties, it was actually very unstable inside. The Yue tribes were constantly resisting, which also made hundreds of thousands of Qin troops unable to escape.

After Qin Shihuang's death, Hu Hai came to power, and soon peasant uprising broke out. The news spread to Lingnan. Perhaps because of the fear and fear of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's killing ministers indiscriminately, Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao discussed it and directly independent, controlling hundreds of thousands of Qin troops to claim kingdom, established the Nanyue Kingdom, and ascended the throne himself.

Because Zhao Tuo's failure to save him was also accelerated the collapse of the Qin Dynasty's rule and soon completely collapsed.

Qin Shihuang, who was in the Yuyu, would never have thought that he had tried his best to conquer the ten thousand miles of country, and was completely defeated by Zhao Gao and his youngest son in just three years.

Chen Xu looked at Zhao Tuo, Li Xin, the civil and military ministers around him and the happy and excited Qin Shihuang, and the eternal emperor who had influenced the entire China for thousands of years, was silent in his heart.

His purpose was to develop improved horse harnesses and aim to change Qin Shihuang's plan to attack Baiyue first.

If this plan cannot be changed, he would know that the dilemma of transporting food was solved by relying on the construction of the Ling Canal in the end, but the climate and terrain of the Lingnan land would never be changed, and the situation of unacceptable water and land would never be solved. Even if muskets and cannons were invented, if they wanted to completely ate the territory of several provinces in the hot and humid south of the mountains and rivers, they would have to rely on their lives to pile up. It would be absolutely impossible to conquer in less than two or three years. Even if it was conquered, the Baiyue people still did not accept the king's transformation and needed to consume a large amount of army to guard it. This useless land was not much useful to the Qin Dynasty at the moment. The Central Plains was the focus of China's development. Even in later generations, provinces such as Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi were still poor and remote places, and developed very slowly.

"The Jiang Mansion Order obeyed the order, and the Qinghe Marquis added a thousand households to the fief, and rewarded 200,000 yuan, a hundred brocade, five carts of fur, ten pairs of jade bi, a hundred horses, two hundred slaves, and twenty concubines..."

Listening to the sudden series of rewards by Emperor Qin Shihuang, all the civil and military officials who accompanied him were shocked, and countless people showed horror on their faces, but most of them were speechless. Of course, some of them were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Marty Qinghe, why don't you thank Your Majesty for the reward?" Li Xin, who was standing next to him, looked at Chen Xu in a daze and couldn't help but gently pull Chen Xu's arm.

"Oh, thank you for your reward!" Chen Xu woke up and bowed quickly, and at the same time he was amused and laughed and cried. He thought to himself how comfortable I lived alone. You rewarded me with so many horses and slaves. How should I place more than 200 horses? And eating, drinking, defecation and urination is also a big expense. Is it good to waste money and food? This is the rhythm of clearly putting me in poverty.

However, when the First Emperor opened his mouth and did not increase his title, it was difficult to refuse these things, so he had to accept them.

"Ying Bu, the head of the Ministry of Security of the Academy of Sciences, did not cause any major problems because he dealt with fire and arrested evil people in time. He also made great contributions to practicing new horse harnesses and weapons. He was awarded a sixth-level official and doctor, promoted to a doctor, and was promoted to a lieutenant. He was rewarded with 50,000 yuan. Other seals and rewards were the same as old rules."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ying Bu's face turned red with excitement on one knee.

"The smelting craftsman Gong Shusheng from the Academy of Sciences made great contributions to refining steel. He rewarded 20,000 yuan, three horses and five slaves. He was promoted to the Iron Official of the Inner Shifu, and was in charge of our Daqin steel smelting, and other old rules for the property and grain production!

"The blacksmith of the Academy of Sciences has made great contributions to creating new weapons, and has rewarded 20,000 yuan, rewarded three horses, and rewarded five slaves. He was promoted to craftsmanship and military officers of the Shaofu Army. Other rewards and honors are honored for the old rules!"

"The two craftsmen who participated in the manufacturing of saddles of the Academy of Sciences were rewarded with the same reward. All the craftsmen who participated in smelting, creating horse harnesses and weapons and participating in the drills were all rewarded with a first-class title, with a reward of 5,000. Other rewards were subject to the rules, and all the helpers were rewarded with 500 yuan. All the workers' daily rations were doubled and the daily supply of rations was not deducted!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Several imperial guards who participated in the drill knelt on one knee, each of whom was inexplicably excited.

After the reward was completed, the drill of new equipment ended perfectly. Qin Shihuang then called Yin Wu, who was interrogating the evildoer, over with a gloomy face.

"Tingwei, how is the interrogation?" Qin Shihuang's voice was not loud, but he could hear it clearly in the entire drilling venue. He was like ice in his ears. The civil and military officials standing in the cold wind couldn't help but tremble collectively.

This sound hasn't been heard for a long time. This is the prelude to the emperor's murder.

"Your Majesty, after separate interrogation, several of them have already explained that the last time the Iron Smelting Furnace drawings and the arson today were all instructed by the Central Army Shang Qi!"

"Zhonglang Shang Qi, where is the man? Arrange the imperial guards to capture them quickly!" Qin Shihuang was furious.

"Puuu~" An official in the crowd knelt on his knees and shouted with his head: "Your Majesty, your minister Shang Qi is not an evil person. Please ask your Majesty to find out the whole story, don't be falsely accused!"

"Mr. Shang Zhong?" Qin Shihuang was stunned for a moment and his face was covered with clouds.

"Your Majesty, it's not a false accusation. The two ministers involved in the plot to arson have explained that it was indeed Shang Qi's instructor, and the time and place of the instructors were also clearly confessed!" Yin Wu bowed and said coldly.

"Tingwei, send someone to arrest Shang Qi for interrogation. The matter must be investigated. I will know all the causes and consequences tomorrow morning. All the instructors and participants must not be missed. Anyone dares to conceal and shelter them. I will destroy the three tribes!"

"Here~" Yin Wu held his fists and took the order.

"Qinghe Hou arranged the factory affairs properly. I will give you an explanation tomorrow morning and return to the palace!"

Qin Shihuang waved his sleeves, and with the sound of several ox horns, thousands of imperial guards guarding around quickly gathered together. Lieutenant Lu Xiao led three thousand lieutenant imperial guards to open the way forward, and long spears were stomping out of the factory gate. Thousands of imperial guards in the Guards also rode their horses to escort the civil and military ministers and then walked. Soon, a long team was walking along the way and returned to Xianyang City along the Wei River.

After the emperor's carriage and horses left, the imperial guard Yin Wu arranged for the imperial guard to take more than a dozen evil people and Zuo Zhonghou Shang Tu away.

The huge factory was soon empty. When Chen Xu passed the emperor's rewards across the entire factory, both Gongshusheng, Ma Gan and all the craftsmen and workers and labor slaves were cheering.

"Thank you, Marquis!" Countless people knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Xu.

"Get up, work hard in the future. Maybe everyone will get land and slaves soon. They can't finish their food and spend money. The beautiful wife and family sleep in a change of sleep every day, and eat soft and sweet steamed buns and throw them away!" Chen Xu waved his hand with a smile.

"Hahahaha..." Almost everyone burst into laughter excitedly, and then they rushed into the workshop like chicken blood and started working hard.

Chen Xu walked around the factory and asked Ying Bu to arrange for people to rebuild the straw sheds, logistics and grain warehouses where the workers lived, and prepare to go home after everything was arranged.

When I go back, I have to prepare for the report to the morning court tomorrow.

The next thing to do is to start large-scale smelting steel, recruit craftsmen across the country to build horse harnesses and weapons, and to arm a cavalry army of tens of thousands of people. It is not possible to do it in a short while. Especially steelmaking and iron making, which is an extremely test of experience and technology. It is best to write a manual for steel smelting to facilitate large-scale promotion.

Once iron tools begin to be used on a large scale, Daqin's productivity will be greatly improved.

Looking at Chen Xu who was on the carriage, Yingbu stood beside him and wanted to speak but stopped.

"Haha, do it well. You will be buried in the Academy of Sciences. When you have the chance, I recommend you to be a real lieutenant in the army. As long as you achieve military achievements on the battlefield, it will be a natural thing to be named a marquis and generals in the future. However, the Academy of Sciences is just starting out, so you have to help me watch it!" Chen Xu said to Ying Bu with a smile.

"Marty, I..." Ying Bu's face turned red.

"This is just the beginning. The title of the Great Qin Dynasty is not obtained out of thin air. The future title of the wife and son depends on your own ability. But I remind you, remember to forget your previous false thoughts. There is no king in the Great Qin Dynasty. Even the father and son of the Wang family who wiped out the six kingdoms are just the marquis. If you have any two intentions in the future, you will definitely die!" Chen Xu's eyes turned extremely cold when he said the last sentence.

"I don't dare!" Ying Bu's face changed drastically, and he quickly knelt on one knee.

"I don't know if you dare or not, but since you follow me, I will also be responsible for you. It is a good thing to have ideals, but don't be confused. Take the factory temporarily and notify me in time if you have anything. If you find that there are still evil people, take it down immediately!"
