Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Xianyang

Zhangtai Palace

"Snapped"

Ying Zheng slammed the letter paper on the table, causing it to bounce and become a little messy.

"This group of old Han nobles are abominable."

"How dare you assassinate my Qin officials? Are you taking advantage of my Qin army?"

Ying Zheng was still furious, and murderous aura filled his whole body. Shi Yi tried hard to reduce his presence.

"Go, have Wang Ben send men to fence off the house I gave to Prince Si of Han. No one is allowed to visit."

"promise."

Ying Zheng sat for a long time before picking up the pen and starting to deal with the memorial again.

According to the historians' records, in the spring of the eleventh year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the nobles of the old Han State sent people to Xinzheng to assassinate Qin's Shangqing Yao Jia and Guannei Hou Zhang Yuanqing, causing Guannei Hou to fall into a coma. The king was furious and ordered the imprisonment of the princes of the old Han State.

An empty area in Xianyang City has now gathered tens of thousands of migrant workers.

The reason is simple, because in the near future, the first academy in Qin State will be built here.

It is now morning and the migrant workers are sweating profusely.

Meng Yi is in charge of supervising the construction of the college and is currently leading his men on an inspection tour.

"Brother Feng, there are still too few migrant workers nowadays."

Li Si looked at the blueprint and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although it was not summer yet, he was already sweating profusely from his busy schedule.

"Now that the Zhengguo Canal is complete, how about we recruit workers from other places?"

Feng Quji, sweat also beading on his forehead, looked at Li Si and nodded, "Alright, at the current rate of progress, I'm afraid the academy may not be completed even after the autumn harvest."

There was no way. When the two of them were designing the blueprints, they only wanted to make it perfect and make this academy as immortal as the Qin Dynasty. Now it seems that the manpower needed to build such a magnificent academy is far from enough.

"Well, let's go and ask the king for permission. Once the king agrees, we will begin recruiting workers within the Qin State."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng naturally agreed.

Now that the treasury is full, these wages can still be paid.

Moreover, there is now a steady flow of property into the treasury every month.

Within two days, Li Si and Feng Quji took people to various places to recruit civilian workers.

Now that spring plowing has ended, when the people heard that the court was going to recruit workers to build an academy, and that their children would have the opportunity to learn to read there in the future, they all couldn't wait to sign up.

Not to mention that there is pay for this recruitment of migrant workers, so everyone is rushing to sign up.

The people of Qin were busy making money and living a good life, while the people living at the border of Zhao and Yan were not living a happy life.

There were no major wars during this period, but small frictions occurred frequently, and the people were in a state of panic.

At the end of May, the general of Yan State killed a general of Zhao State, and the King of Zhao was furious.

Zhao Guo

"Yan State is truly despicable. I wish to attack Yan. Who would like to recommend themselves?"

King Yan of Zhao dragged his sick body to the court, his face still a little pale.

"Your Majesty, I do not believe now is the best time to attack Yan. Qin is growing stronger, so the best strategy now is to destroy it first."

"Your Majesty, I think what the Imperial Censor said is correct." Zhao Jia stepped forward and said, he had been paying close attention to the developments in Qin these days and found that the people in Qin lived a stable life. If the grain production increased several times after the autumn harvest this year and the people in Qin had enough food and clothing, then Qin would not be afraid of any country.

"In that case, can we just let the matter of Yan State innocently killing our Zhao State's general be let go?" Guo Kai looked at Zhao Jia with disapproval.

"Yan State has humiliated Zhao State in this way. This shows that they do not respect Zhao State and the king. If the king tolerates such humiliation, how can Zhao State stand firm in front of Yan State? How can it stand firm among the six states? Can anyone bully us?"

"Prime Minister, Jia did not mean this. Prime Minister, please do not misinterpret Jia's meaning."

Prince Jia was ruthless to Guo Kai. If it weren't for him, my father wouldn't have deposed me as Crown Prince. Now he's trying to harm the State of Zhao. How despicable!

"Why is that? After Yan State killed our Zhao State's general, not only did our Zhao State not seek justice, but we also wanted to make concessions?"

"Prime Minister,"

"Okay." King Yan of Zhao interrupted Prince Jia.

"Yan's actions are humiliating Zhao. I must demand an explanation from the King of Yan."

"Where is Pang Nuan?"

"I will give you 80,000 soldiers and horses to attack Yan. Are you willing?"

Pang Nuan stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I am willing to share your worries. When I attack Yan, I will succeed immediately and kill the Yan general."

"Well, this is the general of my Zhao State."

When Prince Jia saw that King Zhao had made up his mind, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Why is my father so confused?

How could the bitter cold land of Yan be more important than Qin?

If Qin were to ignore this matter, I'm afraid that in the future Qin would be the first to destroy Zhao.

King Zhao had no idea what Prince Jia was thinking. At this time, he had already taken Prince Qian with him to handle state affairs.

Prince Qian also studied hard, which made King Zhao very satisfied.

Wei Guo

It is now the seventh year of King Zeng of Wei, and the State of Wei is no longer as powerful as it once was.

The King of Wei was also watching the movements of the other four countries at this time.

After Qin conquered Han, Wei officials had suggested to the king of Wei that the five states should unite to attack Qin, but the king did not immediately adopt the proposal.

The six kingdoms were unable to attack Qin before, so how could they succeed with the combined strength of the five kingdoms?

The King of Wei did not dare to lead the attack on Qin, and wanted to wait for Zhao or Chu to take the lead.

As a result, before any news came from here, Yan and Zhao started fighting.

The King of Wei sent Prince Bao and Xiang Ta to station troops on the border to prevent the Qin State from taking the opportunity to attack Wei.

Xinzheng

"In the eleventh year of King Zheng of Qin, Zhao attacked Yan. Even if I change some history, some historical events will still happen on schedule."

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh.

I suddenly thought of the fact that in history, the Qin State attacked the Zhao State in order to save the Yan State, and captured many cities.

"The one who should be used is General Wang Jian."

Thinking of Wang Jian, Zhang Yuanqing smiled.

A military strategist with political acumen.

Taking out paper and pen, Zhang Yuanqing began to write something.

"My Lord, Liao Wu is back."

At this time, Ada reported outside the door.

Zhang Yuanqing put down his pen and said, "Let Liao Wu come in."

"Greetings to the Marquis."

Today, Liao Wuke is no longer the cautious businessman he used to be.

Since being valued by Zhang Yuanqing, Liao Wu's family industry has developed rapidly, and he is now considered one of the top wealthy businessmen in Qin State.

Especially now that they have Liuli, in the past few months, Liao Wu and Li Yuji have taken Liuli to various countries and made a lot of money.

Of course, most of the money was handed over to the treasury, but after deducting the costs from the remaining 20%, they could still save a lot.

Moreover, Liao Wu now comes into contact with nobles from various countries. In order to obtain precious glass treasures, those nobles treat him with courtesy.

This also made Liao Wu look more noble.

"Please sit down. You've had a hard time along the way."

Liao Wu thanked him and sat down. "Working for the Marquis is not hard at all. If the Marquis hadn't treated me differently, Liao Wu would be just an insignificant businessman now."

Zhang Yuanqing smiled nonchalantly, "That's because you're capable."

"What is the matter with you coming to see me this time?"

Speaking of business, Liao Wu said with a serious face: "My Lord, I heard something in Chu this time."
