Daqin: Take the bamboo shoots, Zulong eavesdropped on my heart!

That's right, Han Xin's worries were not superfluous.

Because iron was not as popular as bronze in the era of Daqin.

Iron is rare and rare, and it is not enough to use it in the army. Do you have to use it in other places?

Great Qin won the world with martial arts and shocked the Kyushu. The reason why Qin Shihuang valued this iron weapon so much was because he wanted to use it in the army.

Now that there are not many ironware, Feng Zheng still needs to use it in other places?

On Qin Shihuang's side, if he is unwilling or not, what should we do?

"I've thought about this too..."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "However, I think it should be all right. There is no major war in the court at present, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to develop business. The development of this business is a good thing for the military industry. Let's not rush For a while. Besides, it’s not that I don’t do anything about military supplies. The first thing I want to do when I set up a steel factory this time is to forge a batch of sharp weapons.”

"Master Hou is wise."

When Han Xin heard this, his heart moved, and he immediately asked, "Then Hou Ye, why don't you leave the task of training recruits to me after the weapon is forged?"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing Han Xin's words, Feng Zheng suddenly smiled, "Your brain is also quite clever..."

"hey-hey……"

Han Xin smiled when he heard this, and scratched his head, "Master Hou, I'm really bored here in Xianyang, and I can't do much every day, why don't you find something for me to do."

"Well, also..."

Feng Zheng laughed, "I called you here this time because of this plan. It won't be long to train a strong army, and it will naturally be useful."

kindness?

what?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Han's confidence moved, and he immediately asked, "Master Hou, are you going to fight?"

"War is not..."

Feng Zheng said, "It won't be long before foreign envoys will come to see us. At that time, we have to show our country's prestige. You have trained the army well, which is naturally a credit. Anyway, if you don't say it yourself, there is nothing to do. Do what?"

"Oh, right!"

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Han Xin burst into ecstasy, nodded quickly and said, "What Hou Ye said is that Han Xin has nothing to do! Hou Ye can find me such a meritorious service, Han Xin is very grateful! This new military training is good, in order to repay the kindness of Lord Hou!"

"Don't say polite words."

Feng Zheng said, "This time you want to make me look good. I believe in you, so I leave this matter to you. You go to the barracks first, pick out some capable soldiers, and train them. After a while, I will send them to the barracks. The new weapon is handed over to you, just wait for the envoys to arrive, then show them your hands!"

"No! Please rest assured, Master Hou!"

After hearing this, Han Xin felt another burst of ecstasy.

Good guy, after staying in Xianyang City for so long, I can finally do things again!

Moreover, wouldn't it be beautiful to be able to make meritorious deeds by doing things?

Chapter 566 Aren’t Confucianists an Idiot, You Can Let the Enemy Learn

Within a few days, the iron and steel factory supervised by Feng Zheng had already sprung up.

After all, there are a lot of people who have been mobilized, and at the beginning, it is only necessary to set up one or two workshops for iron smelting.

It's simple...

and……

Anyway, the mining volume of Zhouzhi iron ore is not that great, and the construction of this iron and steel plant is extremely large from the beginning, and it is not cost-effective.

A few days later, Xianyang Palace, the cabinet office.

"Your Majesty!"

Yingzheng, who was sitting in front of Feng Zhengfu and Su, suddenly heard the report from the palace outside, "Longxi Zoubao!"

【kindness?Longxi? 】

Feng Zheng, who was writing the official document, heard it, and his heart suddenly moved, [Could it be that the person dispatched to Yueshi has arrived? 】

Oh?

Hearing Feng Zheng's voice, Ying Zheng's heart was also moved.

Counting the days, maybe it's almost time...

"Mind it."

"promise."

The palace official reported, "Your Majesty, Ma Liang, the prefect of Longxi, reported that some of the missions we sent to the Western Regions returned from Yuezhi. !"

[I'm going, really? 】

After hearing this, Feng Zheng was overjoyed, 【The first batch of missions are back, so the foreign trade will start soon! 】

Sure enough, the mission is back?

Ying Zheng was also overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said, "Okay, but the performance said, how many people are here?"

"Your Majesty."

The palace official reported, "The prefect of Longxi Shangzuo, the Yueshi Mission, a total of 210 people, led by the eldest prince Sakya of the Yueshi, came to pay a visit to Daqin."

kindness?

200 people came?

It seems that this Yueshi is quite sensible.

Ying Zheng immediately said, "Okay, order Longxi County to protect the Yueshi Mission into Wangji!"

"promise!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

After hearing the conversation of a few people, Chunyu Yue listened to him, immediately got up, bowed and said, "Yueshi is one of Beidi. When you come to my Daqin, you must come to learn from my Daqin's teachings. Why don't you just Let the old minister go to meet them, shall we?"

What?

Hearing Chun Yuyue's words, Ying Zheng's face changed slightly.

What the hell, you have to preach Confucianism and Taoism right from the start?

Are you trying to dissuade these people or something?

"I have already handed over this matter to Feng Zheng."

Ying Zheng immediately pointed at Feng Zheng beside him, "Just ask him."

"This……"

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Chun Yuyue was immediately taken aback.Then, he turned to look at Feng Zheng.

"Interviewer, Confucius said, isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar? To welcome the Yueshi delegation, there should be formal etiquette to uphold our country's prestige."

Chun Yuyue said, "After all, the veterans have stayed in Qi for many years, and they still know a lot about the rituals of this week. Why don't we let the veterans go to welcome them? After all, my Great Qin has only been famous for a hundred years, and the Great Zhou has been established for eight years." In 900 years, presumably, these Yuezhi people are more likely to understand Zhou rituals..."

【 you?Why, are you not even willing to let go of a bunch of Rongdi? 】

Feng Zheng listened, and smiled in his heart, 【This is to make the Yue family accept Confucianism and Taoism, right? 】

[It's good to be able to accept it. It's better that you teach them to be a little more stupid, so that it will be easier for me, Daqin, to slaughter them in the future! 】

kindness?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Ying Zheng's heart was also moved.

Oh, there is some truth in that!

It seems that this Confucianism and pedantry are not worthless!

If this pedantry can be used on the enemy, it is indeed a good thing...

but……

Who is this Yueshi?

Grassland nomads!

People listen to you?

I'm afraid I can't?

"Ha ha……"

Feng Zheng smiled, and said lightly, "Dr. Chunyu, I really think so, but I'm afraid it's not very good..."

kindness?

not too good?

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Chunyu Yue immediately asked, "But what's wrong?"

"The Zhou rituals are more complicated than the Qin rituals."

Feng Zheng laughed and said, "People come here, firstly to pay respects, secondly, to discuss business. Whether this is etiquette or not, don't be too cumbersome to scare people away... Dr. Chunyu, what do you think? ?”

kindness?

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Chunyu Yue's expression changed immediately, and he said immediately, "Etiquette is the charm of heaven and earth! How can you not do it because you are afraid of its cumbersomeness?"

[Oh, you can pull it down! 】

After hearing this, Feng Zheng said in his heart, "What etiquette is the charm of heaven and earth, it is the charm of the scholar-official class!" 】

[Scholar-bureaucrats invented this method, isn't it used to distinguish it from the common people?What are you pretending to be? 】

【Well, if you want to, I can send you to Yuezhi later to teach people etiquette. 】

[That is, if you are roasted as mutton by them at that time, I don't care. 】

Cough...cough cough...

Hearing Feng Zheng's heartfelt voice, Ying Zheng smiled inwardly.

Roast this old man as mutton?

This Feng Zheng can really complain about anything.

"Hehe, Dr. Chunyu..."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Do you know how to weave?"

uh... uh?

What?

Weaving?

Sericulture?

Chunyu was taken aback when he heard this, then shook his head and said in puzzlement, "Of course I don't understand, a man wants to read the four books and master the six arts, why do he want to weave and make clothes?"

"Ah, I just asked, Dr. Chunyu, do you know weaving? I didn't ask you about the six arts..."

What am I?

The more Chunyu listened, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "Of course not."

"Ha ha……"

Feng Zheng laughed, "Then let me ask again, Dr. Chunyu, do you know how to make salt?"

what?

Salt?

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Chun Yuyue was taken aback again, and opened his mouth, "Well, I know a thing or two..."

That's right, this, he really understands a little bit.

Because he was born in Qi after all, and he was a Confucian scholar in Qi before, so he is considered a person with status.

Otherwise, he would not be the guest of honor after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms.

And the state of Qi, made salt to enrich the princes.
