Chapter 156
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of Wei Shaoxiao had seen this scene in Xianyang City before.This is also their nightmare many years later, and even gave up halfway in the rebellion in the end, and collapsed because of being surrounded by inner horror.

Cheng Jiao's crime of killing King Qin Zhuangxiang has been made known to the whole world, and then Yingzheng entrusted Zhang Yi to organize the funeral of King Qin Zhuangxiang and the funeral is ready.

Yingzheng ordered the whole Qin Dynasty, King Zhuangxiang of Qin died, and the whole Qin Dynasty was completely destroyed.

For a long time, no other colors were discovered in Qin.

Led by Ying Zheng, a mighty funeral procession passed through Xianyang City, followed by civil and military officials, and a more majestic procession followed.

Tens of thousands of people pay homage to the imperial tomb of King Zhuangxiang of Qin.All people mourn together.Even when King Zhuangxiang of Qin became king, he did not go through such a big battle. It was Ying Zheng who made him look as good as he was before his death.

Winter goes and spring comes, and the stars move.In a blink of an eye, it is the season of cotton harvest again.It is said that the seeds that the six countries bought from Lu Buwei's subordinates at a high price have been planted all over the land of the six countries, and they are now ready to harvest.

Cotton trees are green, and white cotton stars are dotted among them, vast and vast.At this time, if you enter and leave the borders of the six countries, you can see such pleasing scenery.

Both the people and the businessmen of the six countries are looking forward to this cotton harvest. They all seem to see the gold piled up in Lu Buwei's mansion and their houses.There are also many people looking forward to wearing high-quality cotton clothes.

The six countries created a large number of festive scenes to celebrate the cotton harvest.The ostentation of picking cotton is often in full swing.

Xianyang City of Qin State, the eyeliner of the lurking six countries, described the above-mentioned scene of the six countries to Ying Zheng. When Ying Zheng heard it, he joked: "They will not enter soon." He ordered, "Take care of Prime Minister Lu! , the cloth can be sold."

Yes, they will not be happy soon, their weaving efficiency is low, and the price of cotton cloth is no less than that of silk, but the new batch of cotton cloth flowing out of Qin continues to be sold at a cheap price.

Even if Qin State bought cotton to the farthest Qi State, the cost was much lower than them.

The cotton cloth of the six countries was ignored, but the cotton cloth of Qin State was still selling like a raging fire.

The state of Qin made a lot of money from it, and the state treasury was full of wealth.Lu Buwei Kong Yin asked Ying Zheng, "Should we win Cotton?" Ying Zheng laughed at Lu Buwei's Kong Yin, and said flatly, "It's not us who should be anxious now, let them be anxious. Wisdom will be vain."

The Six Kingdoms fell into a deep depression, and piles of cotton were thrown into the streets, where children were allowed to accompany them.The white and clean cotton is stained black, becoming an eyesore on the street.

The businessman worries about the piles of cotton and drinks cold water every day.

Ying Zheng looked at the picture of the suffering of the six countries drawn by eyeliner, and Ying Zheng nodded to Lu Buwei contentedly, and Lu Buwei went down to do things and act steadily.

Lu Buwei wanted to win over cotton, and the news swept through the six countries like a hurricane. The merchants from the six countries were overjoyed, and even found out that they sold all the cotton without even asking about the cost.

In this way, although they did not earn a lot, they should have gained a lot.

But the ministers of the six countries don't want businessmen to be so snobbish. They will soon be able to make a small fortune and see the advantages and disadvantages of it.

The land for growing food in the six countries has been greatly reduced.

In Jicheng, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, Prince Zhao Dan of Yan generously told the King of Yan that there was a huge conspiracy hidden in the cotton business, and even more satirized the ministers who had supported cotton cultivation.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were embarrassed to hear it, and even Yan Wangxi's face was flushed. He also supported cotton planting at the beginning, and it was his order to implement cotton on a large scale of Yan's land.

Yan Wangxi coughed, reminding Prince Dan that it was just right, but Prince Dan said it so forgetfully, he didn't notice it at all.

This immediately offended the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so the minister stood up and interrupted Yandan.

It was the Minister of Finance of the Yan State, who blushed and said: "Nonsense, although we grow cotton without weaving and selling it, but we only sell cotton and make a fortune." He threw out a ledger to Yan Dan, " The crown prince doesn’t believe it, so please take a look.” Then he turned to Yanwang Xihui to report: “Because we sell a lot of cotton, the treasury’s income is twice that of last year, and now the people of Yan are living a prosperous life.”

King Yan nodded happily.

Yan Dan didn't pick up the account book to read the details, but cursed secretly: "Stupid, short-sighted."

Although the voice was small, it was particularly harsh in the empty hall.The expressions of all civil and military officials were all down, Yan Wangxi also frowned, and reminded in a very cold tone: "Dan'er, pay attention to your words and deeds."

Yan Dan knelt down sincerely: "Father, the child is also thinking of me, Dayan."

"Cotton, it turned out that Yingzheng decided a big conspiracy, and the six countries could easily obtain cotton seeds. It was basically Yingzheng who released the bait."

A dignitary couldn't help muttering: "It's not easy to get cotton seeds." But Yan Dan's sharp eyes made him dumbfounded halfway through his speech.

Yan Dan continued: "The whole thing is basically controlled by Ying Zheng behind the scenes."

Ying Zheng, who was having a romantic relationship with the snow girl in Qinhuang Palace, couldn't help but sneezed, and Ying Zheng asked suspiciously, "Who is speaking ill of me behind my back?" Have you discovered it now? But no one can stop it." The thought passed by and he went back to being happy with the snow girl.

Yan Dan's words frightened the civil and military forces of the whole dynasty, and even Yan Wangxi leaned forward slightly without breaking down. "Didn't you all realize that there is not much food land left in Yan Kingdom?" He said, throwing a ledger to the Minister of Finance.

King Yan asked cautiously: "Nong Si, is this true?"

Nong Si knelt down cautiously, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, yes." He didn't expect that Prince Dan would take away the ledger and cause such a big fight.

Some dignitaries still did not bow their heads, and contradicted: "Food is so cheap now, there is no need to grow food at all."

Yan Dan asked contemptuously: "The food is so cheap, which country sells it?"

The man whispered like a mosquito, very unwillingly said: "Qin country."

Yan Dan pressed on step by step: "If there is a war between us and Qin, what should we do?" Yan Dan thought for a long time before thinking about the key point of Yingzheng's situation.

The court suddenly fell into a terrible silence, and no one could answer such a question.

They want to say, as long as there is a war against Qin, wouldn't it be enough to have a good relationship forever?But the battle is not something you just say that if it doesn't happen, it won't happen. What should the Qin army do if it comes over?They all realized that the Yan State was already in the hands of the Qin State, and they could only be grabbed casually.

But cotton does not mean that they will not plant it if they don’t plant it. Not only did they not return the crops they planted in the early stage, but also the land that was planted with cotton trees returned to fertile land.

Now they can only helplessly and clearly be controlled by others, and there is nothing they can do.The State of Yan could only hope that the State of Qin would not attack them until they resumed food production.

But will Ying Zheng give them this opportunity?

After a long time of embarrassment, Yan Wangxi had to break through, and changed the subject and asked, "Then why is Qin weaving faster than us?"

Only then did the quiet and terrifying atmosphere relax, and all civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.I can't wait to beat them to learn that the spy will speak out.

"I heard that the State of Qin discovered a weaving machine called a Jenny machine."

"The obedience to listening pressure can be high, and the amount of weaving by one person is equivalent to a hundred people."

…………

Above the imperial court, civil and military officials studied the loom numerously and praised it endlessly.

Yan Dan helplessly looked at the people who were happily talking about Qin's loom, and he also knew that there is currently no known method that can break the situation of the political and economic war. He proposed it just to learn from these stupid ministers .

King Yan was also delighted by the pleasant scene and forgot about the unhappiness he had experienced just now. He was also very happy when he heard this.I couldn't help but ask: "Can we introduce this machine?"

The lively scene quieted down in an instant, and the embarrassing silence was discovered again.

King Yan continued to think, "Then can we imitate it?"

There was no voice answer either.After a long time, the minister bit the bullet and reported back: "It is said that this machine was made by Master Lu, Gong Shuchou and their outstanding disciples, who joined forces to make it according to the drawings provided by Ying Zheng. We have no_ Made with energy..."

The other ministers nodded calmly, which was the same as the information they had learned.

Yan Dan stood up again. Although he had no way, he just wanted to tell more scary news to add fuel to the flames.

"King Zhuangxiang of Qin has died, and the whole country of Qin has been destroyed. The crown prince Yingzheng will pay homage to the universe soon and become the new king of Qin."

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as King Yan's Xi couldn't help trembling.

When Ying Zheng was still the crown prince, he had already tormented them enough. Now that Ying Zheng is the King of Qin, their next day...

Similar scenes were also discovered in the courts of the Six Kingdoms.

Ying Zhengxing is about to ascend the throne as the King of Qin, and the news spread quickly across the country like the wind, which is different from the trepidation and panic of the six kingdoms.

On the border of Zhao State, which is adjacent to Qin State, in an ordinary teahouse.

Two businessmen who had known each other for a long time met here, and happily invited them to drink together.

Businessman A asked businessman B, "Where are you going with the whole family?"

Businessman B said proudly: "I have obtained the residence card of Qin State, isn't that right, I want to move to Qin State."

Businessman A looked down upon him and said: "You are a Zhao man, but why did you move to live in Qin with pride? You forgot the Battle of Changping, Qin's rich wolves, tigers and leopards. You are going to kill yourself!"

Businessman B said secretly, "You don't know about that, do you?"

Then he described to Businessman A the state of Qin in a paradise.The food is also good, the potatoes and sweet potatoes are everywhere, and the pork is fragrant.

After finishing speaking, Businessman B also persuaded Businessman A to move to Qin as soon as possible, otherwise it would be even more difficult if there were too many people.

Businessman A was also distracted when he heard it, and his mind moved.But I still couldn't believe it, so I couldn't help questioning: "Is Qin really spicy?"

Businessman B blurted out, "I can't even hope that Qin will unify the whole country?"

As soon as these words came out, Merchant A jumped up in fright and covered his mouth.

Businessman B also understands that this cannot be said, and the truth is still in the territory of Zhao State. If he says this, but if the head is killed, the two of them will stop talking about the cotton market.

Of course, under the pressure of beheading, many people in the six countries thought so, wishing that Qin would unify the world.

Because too many people fled to Qin State, Qin State had to put forward a series of restrictive conditions.It is not so hot to let them flee to Qin.So they changed their minds, since they could not escape from Qin State, it would be better for Qin State to occupy them.

Facing the surging fleeing crowd from the six countries, Qin's ups and downs are both joy and worry.Officials of the Qin State had to deal with these fleeing citizens in a hurry.

Li Si and Han Fei happily congratulated Yingzheng on the merits of all the people in the country to Qin, but they also had to mention the public security hazards caused by the victims.

He had to ask Yingzheng whether to accept the victims and strengthen Qin, or reject the victims to ensure law and order.This is a dilemma where you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Ying Zheng said calmly, "I will accept both the fish and the bear's paw."

Han Fei and Li Si looked at Ying Zheng suspiciously.Isn't this facility easy to handle?In the present age when he conquered, don't all countries have various policies for remaining people?
Ying Zheng shared this idea with Li Si and Han Fei, and believed that they would understand how to formulate regulations if they had an idea.

The two were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they admired Ying Zheng's talent the most, and they really had such clever skills.After what Yingzheng said, they all had a clear decision, and they couldn't wait to leave Yingzheng immediately and go down to formulate regulations.

Soon, Qin issued a set of "Immigration Laws" and soon received the best results.Not only did the immigrants from the six countries remain enthusiastic, but Qin also received the top talents they needed to equip the country.

Compared with the "Immigration Law" of the Qin State, the six countries also saw a wave of immigration, and it is strictly forbidden for the common people to leave, and those who violate it will be punished equally.But still can't stop the surging tide.

What's more, many educated intellectuals are full of praise for Qin.

Liuducheng has a headache. Yingzheng has not officially ascended the throne, so he will make trouble for them. If it is far away, then it will be fine.

But when Ying Zheng ascended the throne, they had no choice but to congratulate him with joyful faces.

Among them, Zhao Guo was the most fearful. Ying Zheng had a series of unpleasant things in Zhao Guo, and then there was a bloody battle of Changping.

When Zhao Mu was ordered by King Zhao, his scalp was numb, but he also knew that he was the only one, there was no one in Zhao country, Zhao Mu sighed, and accepted Zhao Wang's appointment.

…………

As for the state of Wei, Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, who had never been favored by King Anli of Wei, watched King Anli of Wei visit his mansion in disbelief.

He talked nonsense and went out to greet him. He needed and resolved the vigilance of the emperor's brother towards him, so that he could reuse himself.

As soon as King Wei Anli came up, he burst into tears and said, "Brother Emperor, I miss you very much."

But hearing these words, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji's heart tingled for a while.Everyone knew that King Wei Anli was not at peace when he came here.Not to mention reuse yourself.

After the performance of King Wei Anli's play, he got straight to the point, "Yingzheng ascended the throne, we need to send a high-ranking official to congratulate him, the emperor thinks of you right now, such a heavy burden belongs to you."

Wei Wuji knew that this matter was not easy, but he happened to have this hope, so he went to Qin to learn about it.

Wei Wuji had a vague worry that sooner or later, Wei State would be destroyed by Qin State Yingzheng.

At the same time, Huang Xie, Chunshen Lord of Chu State, Prince Dan of Zhao State, and Han Si Gongzi of South Korea, also set off from their own countries to the enthronement hall of Yingzheng.

But from the moment they stepped out of the capital, they were targeted by Ying Zheng's trap.

In the Imperial Palace of Xianyang City, Ying Zheng listened to Kan Tiao read the names of these people, and quietly said: "The people who came here are all big men, pass the order down, summon the guests well, and let them see the majesty of my Great Qin."

In the heavily guarded palace, a black shadow flashed past.

Huang Xie, Chunshen Lord of Chu State, did not rush to Xianyang. He set off ahead of time, calculated the time, and could travel more in Qin State. In fact, he wanted to find out the details of Qin State's national strength.

It was just a cover to congratulate Yingzheng on his ascension to the throne. Although he arranged eyeliner on King Qin to find out information, he always felt that there was more or less eyeliner, exaggerating the power of Qin State, and some exaggerated words were unbelievable.But his eyeliner guarantees with his life that everything he describes about Qin is true.

As the saying goes, hearing is believing, but seeing is believing.Chu Chunshen Jun wanted to see with his own eyes whether the affairs of the state of Qin had really grown to be irresistible.

In the palace of Xianyang City, Ying Zheng was reviewing memorials when suddenly a black figure knelt in front of him. Ying Zheng was earlier than he was used to, and without raising his head, he asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

The hoarse voice of the black shadow was like an echo from hell, "The envoys from all over the world were traveling in strange ways, stopping and walking, and coming towards Xianyang in a leisurely manner." Finally, he expressed his guess, "They don't seem to be here specifically to congratulate you." King Qin came to the throne."

Ying Zheng understood it in his heart and said slowly: "The drunkard doesn't care about wine, he cares about the mountains and rivers."

"They weren't from Hexi in the first place."

"It's me who wants to find out the details of my country, Da Qin." When he said this, his tone was full of ridicule.

And that shadow heard the word "investigate", knowing that the trip of the Six Kingdoms was not peaceful, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he made a gesture of wiping his neck, and said murderously: "Is that..."

Ying Zheng waved his hand to show that he should not be moved, and said calmly: "Everyone who comes is a guest."

"They want to see it, if not, let them see enough, just don't scare yourself."

Then, as if thinking of something, Ying Zheng said happily: "Yes, you can defeat others without fighting. This is what grandson, the originator of the military family, said."

Ying Zheng nodded contentedly, "Physical warfare will leave a shadow on them, and it won't be so difficult to unify the country in the future. It's better to be scared to obediently obey, and it will be easier."

The black shadow listened for a while, he boasted that he was also the top talent in the trap, but he didn't understand what His Majesty Ying Zheng said, but instinctively reported to him, His Majesty Ying Zheng came up with the best plan For the Six Nations.

Ying Zheng looked at Lei Ying and listened in a daze, knowing that he couldn't understand the cleverness of the widow, so he asked him to step down first, and let Kan Tiao continue to monitor the intentions of the envoys of the six countries.

Then summon Zhang Yi into the palace, and discuss with him how to measure the physical shadow area left by the envoys of the six countries during their visit to Qin, and how much land can be replaced by this shadow area.

Zhang Yi was also less vigilant, and after a while, he understood the truth.Finally, don't forget to offer a plan to let Qin show its best side to show the six countries.Unreservedly show the strength of Qin.No more hiding all kinds of fancy things.

Yingzheng felt that it made sense, so he reassuredly handed over the matter to Zhang Yi, and said: "You just go down and do it." Zhang Yi took the order and left.

Zhang Yi arranged various affairs, kept the intelligence of traps, and arranged the itineraries of the envoys of the six countries carefully.

The envoys of the six countries went through their thrilling journey to Qin without their knowledge.And this largely led to the defeat of the six countries.Ji Ji had no intention of uniting against Qiang Qin, only because the shock of this investigation had penetrated into their subconscious, and in the subsequent confrontation, their subconscious would report to them, and no matter how much they struggled, it would be in vain.

Chu Chunshenjun Huang Xie expected that on the road they had reserved, that is, on the road, they might only see the powerful side of Qin that was deliberately displayed. To truly understand the sentiments of the Qin people, it is best to go deep among the people.

So he deliberately asked the coachman not to take the main road, but to go around the country lanes. He called it euphemistically, "I prefer the scenery of my hometown."

But their whereabouts have long been watched by the trap, and his every move is in Zhang Yi's eyes. Zhang Yi said indifferently: "If you like the scenery of your hometown, go and see it."

Zhang Yi was very relaxed, because Qin State had no intention of preparing anything at all. It just wanted to reveal what it was determined to hide at the right time.

You can't see the whole iceberg, but if you show a corner, you will know how huge it is.

Chu Chunshenjun and Huang Xie passed a small ordinary village, passing along the road, and heard the sound of Lang Lang reading.Huang Xie became suspicious at the moment, "There is a school in such a small country." He guessed that there must be an expert in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in this country, and he got out of the car, looking for the direction of the sound, and left.

But the source of the sound was really a school, he leaned against the window to see clearly the situation inside...

More than a dozen descendants of farmers in sackcloth are listening to the teacher's lecture upright, and above them are young people in Confucian costumes explaining "If you don't make a song, you will be a blockbuster".

Chunshenjun Huang Xie rubbed his eyes frequently to see clearly that these juniors who were studying were not aristocratic young men.

You must know that in their Chu country, the children of not ordinary people can study and study in the school.

But the children's sackcloth and dark faces frequently confirmed their identity as the descendants of the peasant family.

Chun Shenjun naturally focused all his doubts on this Confucian master.He is bound to be a recluse from the world.

Chunshen Jun stood at the door solemnly, waiting for the get out of class to end, so that he could have a chance to talk to the hermit.

The ancient clock is dull, but it passes through the vicissitudes of history.The lectures in the school stopped because of this, and the children came out one after another, throwing themselves into the bosom of nature to accompany them. They were all innocent and romantic children, gushing out the vitality of life.

The Confucian master had noticed a man in a fine attire standing at the door. He had a resolute face.Instead, he said in a serious voice: "mate, you may as well come in and sit down after waiting for a long time on the outside, I don't know what happened."

Chunshen Jun saw that the Confucian master's speech was extraordinary, and he spoke without arrogance or rashness, so he was more willing to guess with confidence.

As soon as he sat down, he kept expressing his admiration for the Confucian master and expressed how deeply touched he was in his heart.Finally, he also revealed his intention to recruit, saying that the master's stay here is really a waste of talents. The Chu State will offer a large sum of money and generous titles to help the master realize his ideals. Once the master is invited to join the Chu State.

After the Confucian master listened calmly, he smiled faintly: "In Qin, there are tens of thousands of teachers and masters like me, and I'm just one of them."

Chun Shenjun naturally felt that this was a modest word, and couldn't help admiring the master for his generosity.

But in fact, what the Confucian master said was just the facts, and he didn't mean to be modest, but to show off the great Qin.

Chun Shenjun doubted and questioned: "Then this school?"

The Confucian master said disapprovingly: "Qin's countryside is built like Xu's 'school'."

The plain and simple words of the Confucian master were like thunder in Chun Shenjun's ears.What a summary!

Chunshen Jun hadn't recovered from the shock, the Confucian master then said flatly: "Actually, you said that the 'school' is wrong. Such a school was not established by any one person, but it is all subordinate to the Qin government. His Majesty the King of Qin seems to be Call it 'school'."

Chunshenjun immediately thought of the famous Jifang School, which is located in Qi State and established by Qi State officials. It gathers talents from all over the country and makes the other six countries admire.Now, every ordinary countryside in Qin State has a scaled-down version of Ji Fang Academy. What a terrifying thing it is!

Jun Shen muttered, "Ji's school?"

The Confucian master seemed to have found a reasonable descriptor, and responded peacefully: "Yes, that is, Heji Fangxuegong has the same temperament." All of his words revealed great pride.

Chun Shenjun finally recovered from the shock and had to accept the current facts.

Naihe was no longer willing to trust it like when his subordinates reported in the past, this time he saw it with his own eyes.

Mr. Chunshen came to his senses, knowing that this was a good time to get to know each other, so he continued to chat about the 'school' with the Confucian master.

The Confucian master had long received an order issued by Qin Wang Yingzheng, saying that anyone who asks about the situation in Qin should tell the truth, and there is no need to avoid many taboos.

So it is very strange to chat with Chun Shenjun about the education system of Qin State on a daily basis.

This education system has to start with the imperial examination system.
