Chapter 540: The Reign of Qin Shi Huang
The flames beneath the alchemy furnace gradually died, but a flicker of light still flickered and sank into Su Mohui's fingertips, a spark of hope. Smiling, she pulled out a bamboo slip and added next to the entry for "Xu Fu's Eastern Voyage": "Bring a copy of the 'Recreation Order' to teach the barbarians overseas the art of farming."
As the pen tip slid across the bamboo slips, she suddenly chuckled - perhaps, true immortality could never be granted by elixirs, but like the surging ocean before her eyes, like the wheel of history that keeps moving forward, allowing those who changed the times to live forever in the memory of civilization.
In the distance, smoke from cooking fires on the Wo Island gradually rose. Those civilizations that had been ignored by history books were beginning to write a new chapter following the iron hoof of the Qin Dynasty.
However, Su Mohui knew that in this game that changed history, the most dangerous thing was not the remnants of Zhao Gao, but the increasingly burning desire for immortality in Ying Zheng's eyes - that might be the next reincarnation dilemma she needed to solve.
..........
In 210 BC, on the day of the beginning of winter, the Xianyang Palace was shrouded in drizzling snow.
The ice surface of Taiye Lake quietly cracked into fine lines at midnight. The ice chips collected in the morning were now floating in the bronze ice mirror. The mirror with coiled dragon pattern reflected the swaying candlelight, emitting a cold and dim light.
Thirty-six connected copper lamps dyed the towering palace walls blood-red, outlining the majestic outline of the imperial center in the falling snow.
Ying Zheng was reclining on a couch inlaid with gold and silver dragon heads, his body half covered by a black cloak.
The "Dongxian Fengwuzhi" spread out on the desk still had the scent of ink. From time to time, he used his forearm wrapped in medicinal silk to stroke the Taia sword - the sea salt grains condensed on the sword tassel shone with fine silver light under the candlelight, silently telling the story of the smoke of the war in Japan.
Su Mohui stood quietly on the left side of the dragon couch, her eyes sweeping across the documents.
The bamboo slips of "Qin Law" were neatly tied with a silk ribbon with black bird pattern, and the edges of the bamboo slips of the latest revised "Household Law" were slightly curled, obviously having been read repeatedly.
The black bird totem hand-painted with cinnabar by Ying Zheng is lifelike. When its wings are spread, it just covers the clause "Women can set up independent households". The red ink is particularly eye-catching on the green bamboo slips.
A palace attendant announced from outside the palace that Fusu was already waiting in a side hall. Snow drifted in through the cracks in the palace door, carrying with it the chilling air of the northern border.
"Father's injury..." Fusu stepped into the hall, his eyes immediately falling on Ying Zheng's forearm. The silk bandage was meticulously embroidered with the Big Dipper, each star outlined with gold thread. It was a wound dressing modified by Su Mohui, incorporating astrological techniques.
Su Mohui stared at Fusu in front of her, secretly amazed. Since their separation from Jiuyuan, the once handsome young master had become thinner, but between his brows there was a hint of weathered determination.
The sickle and hammer embroidery on his right sleeve was faintly visible in the candlelight. This originally ordinary farming totem, after being improved by the Zhaonu Weaving Workshop, became the most fashionable pattern in Xianyang.
The jade pendant at his waist, engraved with the inscription of Shang Yang's square liters, rang with a clear sound as he stepped. This unique rhythm of the "Qin Bu," each step conforming to the six-foot rule, has become the standard for training soldiers in the northern border.
Ying Zheng waved his hand, his eyes swept across the bronze map and stopped at the mark of Longyou Ranch.
Next to the newly added "Horse Administration Improvement" clause, there is a picture of the Arabian horse bloodline that Su Mohui brought from reincarnation.
"Su Mohui's elixir is indeed miraculous. I can now draw a three-stone bow." Ying Zheng suddenly chuckled, his eyes from under the crown swept across the wheat ear pattern on Fusu's left sleeve, "I heard that you erected a 'Stele to Encourage Agriculture' in Yunzhong County?
Fusu unfolded the bamboo slips in his sleeve at the right time and placed them in front of Ying Zheng's desk. On the edge of the bamboo slips were engraved five big characters "Food is the first necessity of the people" in Qin seal script.
Ying Zheng flipped through the book and saw that the bronze curved plow model on the inner page was exquisitely crafted, with lifelike patterns of rice seedlings cast on the plowshare.
"I had the craftsmen carve the twenty-four solar terms on the side of the plow," Fusu said, gazing at the red banners fluttering outside the palace. "When a woman ploughs, you can tell the time by the patterns."
He looked out the window and saw the "Xiu Mu" flag being raised in the snowy Xianyang City. The red flag had the golden word "Xiu" embroidered on it. It was one of the twelve Xiu Mu flags designed by Su Mohui based on the modern calendar.
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, his gaze piercing from beneath his crown. "I heard from Su Mohui the other day that you also opened a girls' literacy class in Pingyang?"
"I, your son, will remember the teachings of my father and my teacher. If you want to strengthen Qin, you must first strengthen the people. If you want to strengthen the people, you must first enlighten their minds." Fusu straightened his expression and bowed. The wheat ears on his black robe swayed slightly with his movements. "When women can wield plows and swords, the great Qin will surely be revitalized."
...................
Outside the Xianyang Palace, snowflakes like broken jade fell.
Su Mohui gazed at the falling snow when she suddenly felt a slight burning sensation coming from the pale golden ring behind her ear. At the same time, the system notification sounded deep in her consciousness.
[Ding Dong: Congratulations to the host, the rest order has been activated, and the historical line correction progress is 67%]
Her fingertips stroked the jade bottle in her sleeve. The bottle contained the longevity pill wrapped in East China Sea shark silk, which exuded a warm luster. It was a crystal tempered by the power of thirty ring patterns, and each pill could temporarily slow down the erosion of the hidden injuries in Ying Zheng's body.
A month ago, Ying Zheng personally inspected the trial results of the "Equal School" and the "Recreation Order".
When he saw the woman reciting the Cangjie Canon with the man at the same table, and saw that the workshops had closed on time according to the new system and the people were able to gather with their families, he immediately threw down the tiger talisman and said, "Grant Su Qing a month's rest!"
However, Su Mohui couldn't sit still. She spent half a month disassembling and reconstructing You Fuyao's elixir formula, studying it day and night in front of the elixir furnace, and finally refined a medicine to cure the backlash caused by Ying Zheng's forced use of the power of national destiny.
At this moment, she held the bronze tiger talisman in her sleeve, and the gold-inlaid inscription rose and fell in her palm - it was the witness of the secret agreement with Ying Zheng, and also the proof of changing history.
During her leave, she often went to the women's military academy to give instructions. On the training ground, thirty-six bronze crossbows were arranged in a formation like a black bird spreading its wings. The sighting pinnacle of each crossbow was engraved with Qin seal scales. It was an aiming system improved based on the geometry knowledge she brought.
The three-dimensional black bird on the shoulders of the students' armor is ready to fly, echoing the curve of the eaves of the Xianyang Palace. It is like an ancient totem reborn in the new era, silently telling the feng shui meaning of "Xuanniao guarding the city" and the thousand-year-old prayer.
The twenty-fifth day of the holiday was a sunny day, and Su Mohui climbed up the Xianyang city wall alone.
The Lantian jade bricks under your feet have undergone thousands of carvings, and the gilded Qin seal characters between the bricks sparkle in the sun. The eight large characters "Wherever the sun and the moon shine, all is Qin land" are vigorous and powerful, engraving the emperor's ambition and courage into the bricks and stones.
In the distance, thunderous shouts came from the newly built women's military academy. The young and strong women, wearing improved armor and holding triangular short crossbows, practiced battle formations under the guidance of Meng Tian's personal guards. The silver armor and the snow color complemented each other, like a moving galaxy.
Downstairs in the "Equal School," the sound of reading flowed like a clear spring. Occasionally, a clear female voice mingled, like a plum blossom breaking through the snow, blooming in this world.
In the school, the children used a bronze paperweight in the shape of a miniature map of the Qin Dynasty to press down the "Cangjie Chapter". On the edge of the paperweight, the pattern of old characters of various countries being covered by layers of Qin seal script silently told the process of civilization unification.
This unique and ingenious enlightenment teaching aid is a masterpiece specially designed by Su Mohui.
