Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

"Dad, I think it's better to let Yan Dan go."

"Little **, are you stupid? Yan Dan is our great enemy!" Ying Zheng looked at him in disbelief.

"Dad, listen to me. When Jing Ke was trying to assassinate you, you also wanted to destroy the Mohist school, but you only managed to capture a few small fry. None of the important figures were apprehended, and you encountered numerous obstacles along the way, right?"

"Yes, the Mohist School has a huge influence in the six countries. Coupled with the powerful strength of the Six-Fingered Black Knight, I only destroyed some contact points in the Great Qin last time."

"That's right. Like Confucianism, Mohism has considerable influence in various countries. Moreover, Mohist disciples are spread across the six kingdoms and are very powerful. Most importantly, they have many skilled craftsmen, which is the talent I need. Therefore, I have always had the idea of ​​conquering the Mohist school.

Yan Dan is the key figure in this plan."

"Little **, what are your plans?"

"Dad, what do you think of Yan Dan?"

"He is ambitious and aspiring, unwilling to lag behind others, yet able to remain patient and keep his words to himself. He is a real character."

"That's it. Yan Dan is the Crown Prince of Yan. He wants to revitalize Yan and will inevitably aspire to become the Mohist Master and master this power. Therefore, if I let Yan Dan go and send my men to eliminate the Six-Fingered Black Knight, then Yan Dan will naturally become the new Master.

The Mohist school of thought advocated universal love and non-aggression, advocating for an end to war. However, in practice, they often withdrew from society and protected themselves, avoiding involvement in the politics of other countries. While this is somewhat contradictory, it is undoubtedly one of the reasons for the Mohist school's strength.

However, Yan Dan was different. He was the crown prince of Yan State. After becoming the Mohist Master, he would inevitably become hostile to the Qin State, leading to the exposure of the Mohist School.

Mohist disciples, like farmers, often come from poor backgrounds and have experienced war, and many are unwilling to see war again. If we intervene, Yan Dan's position as Prince of Justice might be in jeopardy. A disunited team is difficult to lead.

At this time, if the Qin Dynasty could vigorously promote the various benefits of unifying the six kingdoms and how to treat talents preferentially, what choice would the Mohists make?

Zhao Chen's words shocked Ying Zheng.

"Chen'er, are these what you thought of?"

"Of course it's me, who else could it be? Oh, and don't kill Tian Guang. As the leader of the Nong family, let him become a puppet in the hands of Sister Yueshen, so that the Nong family can be used by the Qin Dynasty. After all, the Nong family is outstanding in farming, and future increases in production and income cannot be achieved without their contributions."

"Chen'er, you..."

At this time, Ying Zheng was speechless.

Is this really his son? What was he doing when he was three years old?

Well, let’s not talk about it!

But Chen'er is only three years old, and he has such thoughts. Even I...

No, how could a father be inferior to his son?

Ying Zheng put his mind at ease.

"Since you've decided, then let's do it! However, since these plans were proposed by you, you'll have to solve any problems in the future! I..."

"Wait, wait, Dad, I'm only three years old after all. What you're doing is child labor exploitation. I absolutely won't do it."

Ying Zheng and Yue Shen were suddenly speechless.

Do you remember that you were a child now?

How did he come up with those earth-shattering strategies before? Even many ministers couldn't match this kind of strategy.

"Stop pretending to be lazy, don't you? Every day you either fish, play chess, or sleep. Since you have such skills, you should share some of the work with me."

"I won't do it. Daqin has so many talented people. Can't we find someone to help Dad with his work? I still have a lot to do. I need to practice, study crops, make tools, make plans for the future, and so much more..."

Zhao Chen kept talking and shouting, meaning that I have told you the plan, so don't come to me for the rest.

"Brat, are these your plans for the future?"

"Of course. By the way, Dad, have the Gongshu family surrendered? Why is there still no news about Zhao Gao?"

"Zhao Gao has sent word that the Gongshu family has surrendered and they will return tomorrow. So what are your plans next?"

"Dad, next I plan to establish a research institute specializing in the research of various siege weapons and farming tools. As the saying goes, if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Only when our weapons are powerful enough can the Qin army be invincible; only when agricultural tools are improved can production efficiency be increased. This requires the efforts of the Academy of Sciences. In fact, both the Gongshu family and the Mohist school have taken the wrong path. They have these skills but don't study tools, but always think about fighting. What fools are they?"

"Okay, when Gongshu Chou arrives tomorrow, I'll hand him over to you. You'll be in charge of the Gongshu family. The Academy of Sciences will be located near the former Jiangzuojian."

"Thanks, Dad."

"Okay, I'll go ahead."

"Farewell, Father!"

"Farewell, Your Majesty!"

"By the way, Sister Yueshen, has Sister Yanfei not come out of seclusion yet?"

"Why, having ministers by your side isn't enough, are you still missing others? This won't do!"

"Why, I'm just asking casually."

"The Dragon Taming Technique that the Young Master taught her last time gave her a new understanding. She had only made some small progress at first, but due to the Young Master's influence, she wanted to break through, so she returned to the Yin-Yang family to practice in seclusion."

"Because of me? Why? How come I don't know it myself?" Zhao Chen asked puzzledly.

"hehe!!"

The Moon Goddess did not give a direct answer, but just smiled.

"That's not right, Sister Yueshen, Sister Yanfei is about to break through, why aren't you worried at all?"

"Sir, I just used the Qimen technique to explore in the inner scene, and by the way, I checked Yan Dan's future and found some very interesting things!" The Moon Goddess continued to tell about what she saw in the inner scene about Yan Dan's future.

"Although it is still unclear who the woman with Yan Dan is, I always have a sense of déjà vu. Besides, Yan Dan is just the crown prince of Yan State, so why can't we see through his future? As for the issue of Yan Fei's breakthrough, I have mastered Professor Gongzi's Qimen Dunjia. Even if she breaks through, what can she do?" The Moon Goddess' words revealed full confidence.

After practicing Qi Men Dun Jia, the Moon Goddess seemed to have changed, and her dissatisfaction with Yan Fei also eased a lot.

Zhao Chen understood: that woman was supposed to be Sister Yan Fei, but because of his intervention, she and Yan Dan had yet to meet, and there was no chance they would ever cross paths again. The future had quietly shifted, something Sister Yue Shen naturally couldn't foresee. Even so, the familiarity remained strong, a result of Yue Shen and Yan Fei's close relationship. Even if the figure faded into obscurity, the familiarity remained.

"Sister, you should understand that calculating the secrets of heaven is extremely risky. The smaller the impact on the world, the simpler the calculation. Although Yan Dan is currently only the Crown Prince of Yan, he will become a disciple of the Mohist School in the future and will still have an impact on the world. Therefore, it is best not to make such calculations casually anymore."

According to the original historical trajectory, although Yan Dan did not appear much in the first part, he did promote the development of the story and was a key supporting role. Therefore, it is still risky to estimate his position.

"Don't worry, sir. I will weigh the pros and cons."

"That's good. The Gongshu family will be here tomorrow, and we can start making various tools for Daqin."

"Sir, what is your plan?"

"Haha, you'll know when the time comes." Zhao Chen deliberately left a suspense and turned back to his room.

Next, he had to make some preparations for tomorrow. First, he would create a three-piece set of warhorse equipment, then improve existing iron smelting technology to promote the popularization of steel. Next, he would invent the curved plow to improve agricultural efficiency.

Current agricultural technology was relatively backward, requiring farmers to toil just to feed their families, and reclaiming wasteland was even more challenging. Using a curved plow instead of the traditional straight plow would at least double efficiency, requiring only one person and one ox to plow the land. This saved manpower and freed up time to cultivate more wasteland. This would allow ordinary people to own more land, increase grain production, and naturally boost taxes collected by the Qin Dynasty. This was a mutually beneficial situation for all three parties.

The improvement in the living standards of the people of Daqin was particularly striking compared to those of the other six kingdoms, where living standards might even have deteriorated. This balance of power would make Daqin even more prosperous and powerful, and the unification of the six kingdoms would be accelerated. This formed a virtuous cycle: as food became more plentiful, Daqin's power grew, and it conquered more land, allowing it to grow even more food.

After the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, it treated the people of the six kingdoms equally, allowing them to live a life of plenty. With enough food, hunger was no longer a problem, and naturally there would be no unrest. This laid a solid foundation for the future.

Zhao Chen was busy in his room the whole afternoon. Thanks to the effect of the buff, even if he didn't know something before, as long as he thought carefully, he could master the manufacturing methods of these tools.

Soon, a table was covered with various plans and drawings.

the next day.

Zhao Chen was still immersed in the warmth of the morning light and fell into a sound sleep.

Outside, Zhao Gao led Gongshu Chou, who had transformed himself into a cyborg, to the palace gate.

"Greetings, Lord Zhao." The guard quickly saluted when he saw Zhao Gao and others.

"My lord, are you awake? I'm here to bring Gongshu Chou to the king on his orders."

"The young master hasn't woken up yet, please wait here for a moment."

"In that case, then don't disturb the young master. We will just wait outside for him to wake up."

Zhao Gao just stood aside and waited.

This made Gongshu Chou, who was behind him, quite dissatisfied.

Although we have surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, the strength of our Gongshu family cannot be underestimated. How can we be so negligent? If the situation did not allow it, he would have exploded long ago.

Zhao Gao saw Gongshu Chou's mood and laughed in his heart.

"Why, are you dissatisfied with the young master?"

"No, no, my Lord, you have misunderstood me. How dare I complain?"
