Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

"It's better not to. The king values ​​the young master very much. You know, even if the young master is only three years old, once you offend him, not to mention in the Qin Dynasty, no one in the whole world can save you, including you Gongshu family!" Zhao Gao's tone was as cold as a knife, and every word was stinging.

"I dare not!" Faced with Zhao Gao's warning, Gongshu Chou's dissatisfaction instantly disappeared, and only fear and anxiety remained.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao stopped forcing him.

As a close confidant of Ying Zheng, he was well aware of the prince's status. The prince was favored beyond measure, even the eldest prince Fusu could not compare with him.

Therefore, Zhao Gao not only served Ying Zheng wholeheartedly, but also had another person to serve: Zhao Chen. He had decided to become Zhao Chen's loyal servant, and would do his best to fulfill any order he was given.

We waited like this for more than an hour.

Zhao Chen finally walked out of the dormitory.

"See Young Master."

"Greetings, sir!"

"Well, get up!"

"Sir, this is Gongshu Chou. The king ordered this servant to bring him here."

"Is he the only one? Where are the other members of the Gongshu family?"

"Sir, since they have just joined the Qin Empire, the remaining members will need some time to arrive in Xianyang. We estimate that they will arrive in succession within three days. There will be approximately 800 of them."

"Well, it must be quick."

"My slave understands!"

"Gongshu Chou, the Chief of Construction has prepared a residence for you. The next step is to turn the designs on these drawings into reality."

Zhao Chen took the blueprint from the maid and handed it to Gongshu Chou. Gongshu Chou didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he took the blueprint and looked at it carefully, his eyes widened, his hands trembled slightly, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen was slightly puzzled. As far as he knew, the Gongshu family was very technologically advanced, especially their amazing mechanical devices, which could almost be called "black technology" in this era.

For example, the six-way Jiazi lock crafted by Gongshujia utilized his unique and powerful mechanical techniques, with over 100,000 variations, primarily used to protect key locations. Another example is the later creation of the Mirage, a city floating on the sea. It was a massive undertaking, designed by Gongshuchou with the help of the Yin-Yang School.

After completion, the huge mirage looked like a giant aircraft carrier, and inside it were many individually operable mechanical birds designed by Gong Shujia, like modern fighter jets.

According to common sense, these weapons and farm tools he drew were just basic tools. Why was Gongshu Chou so excited?

Zhao Chen curiously glanced at the blueprints held tightly in Gongshu Chou's hand and was stunned. It turned out that the blueprints covered metal smelting, high-pressure furnace manufacturing, steel properties, and forging methods.

At this moment, he felt relieved. Even with their advanced mechanical skills, they were still generally based on wood, with key parts reinforced with bronze. The emergence of steel undoubtedly opened a new door for them, and his excitement was understandable.

"Alright, don't get too excited. Take these blueprints home and study them slowly. You can start making some simple farm tools now. Within three days, I want to see the finished product to prove your Gongshu family's strength. If it's not up to par, Daqin will look for someone else. But if you perform well or even innovate, I can guarantee that you will be awarded the title of Gong Daifu at least."

"Thank you very much, sir. I will do my best to serve you until my death."

"Well, go ahead... Wait a minute, these drawings must not be leaked, otherwise you, the Gongshu family, will lose your reason for existence."

"Please rest assured, sir. I will keep it safe."

"Well, let's go!"

"Resign, villain!"

"Zhao Gao, stay for a moment."

"What are your instructions, sir?"

"Keep close watch on Gongshu Chou during this period to ensure the blueprints are not leaked. Do you understand?"

"My slave understands!"

"Go!"

"Slave, please leave!"

……

After completing all this, Zhao Chen returned to his study to continue writing a detailed plan for the next five years of the Qin Dynasty, striving to unify the six kingdoms within five years. This way, he would be able to better promote the various reforms of the Qin Dynasty.

Five days passed quickly. The Gongshu clan's eight hundred men were already engaged in intensive production. Furthermore, a new factory was under construction near the Blue Sky Camp outside Xianyang. Both weapons and farm tools would be mass-produced, rather than the small batches of the past.

On Zhao Chen's side, the plan for Daqin's next five years was finally completed, which really took him a lot of thought.

"Sister Moon Goddess, how about helping me take a look at this development plan?"

Zhao Chen handed the completed plan to Yue Shen. Yue Shen took it and took a look, her heart becoming increasingly shocked. The more she read, the more incredible it seemed to her.

If all these could be achieved, then the Qin Dynasty would truly be invincible. Even if the coalition of the six nations, coupled with the support of various schools of thought, were unable to shake the foundation of the Qin Dynasty.

Is this really something that you came up with in just five days?

This plan covered every area of ​​the Qin Empire: military, agriculture, commerce, education, and the legal system. From the royal family and nobles to the common people, every social class was meticulously planned, even taking into account the various schools of thought that had defected to the Qin Empire.

It's terrible, really too terrible.

Is the young master really only three years old?

The Moon Goddess fell into deep doubt again.

Even if a saint were reborn, it would be difficult for him to have such comprehensive thinking!

"Sir, did you really come up with this in five days?"

"Don't you think so?"

"No, it's just too shocking. In this way, as long as the Qin Dynasty develops smoothly, it is indeed possible to unify the six kingdoms within five years."

"Hehe, isn't this a good thing? It's been over five hundred years since the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, and the Central Plains have experienced hundreds of years of war. As nations vie for hegemony, the common people always suffer. It's time for reunification. Only the Great Qin can unify the six kingdoms, and only the Great Qin can do it. I guess the Yin-Yang family foresaw this early on, so they defected to the Great Qin!"

"Indeed, Lord Donghuang anticipated this and decided to cooperate with the king. However, after the birth of the young master, destiny changed, and Lord Donghuang completely defected to the Qin Dynasty."

"I understand this, and I have to admit that Donghuang Taiyi made the right move. The future of the Great Qin will surely stretch for eternity, and will definitely not end in just two generations."

"Well, sir..."

The Moon Goddess glanced at Zhao Chen in surprise, then reacted. "Yes, Master, you taught me the magic of Qimen. Predicting the future through inner vision is much simpler than divination." Given this, it's no surprise that Master knew the original fate of the Great Qin.

“Sir, are you the reason why Lord Donghuang is cooperating with Daqin?”

"Of course I know, it's nothing more than the Seven Stars of Azure Dragon."

Is that so?

"So, sir, do you know the secret of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon?"

"Sister, are you curious? Haven't you tried to explore the interior?"

"Young Master is truly insightful. I did explore the secrets of the Azure Dragon's Seven Stars through Qimen Neijing, but just a little bit of it nearly cost me my life. Even with Lord Donghuang's help, the result was similar, so I no longer dare to explore further."

"Actually, I don't fully understand the secret of the Azure Dragon's Seven Stars, but it's undoubtedly connected to the Zhou royal family. King Wen was gifted with profound insight into the dynamics of heaven and earth, and he used the 'Sixty-Four Hexagrams' to predict world events for the next three hundred years. However, after this foresight, King Wen fell into depression, spending his days locked in a secret room in deep thought. The following year, King Wen cast the 'You Gui', drawing the spirits of the seven eastern constellations of 'Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji', and sealed them within the 'Nine Cauldrons'. When King Wen died, he left behind a jade pendant inscribed with the words 'Phoenix Sings at Mount Qishan.'" When King Wu attacked the Shang Dynasty, he consulted before the battle, activating the power of the seven constellations. Responding to this, he ultimately won the Battle of Muye and destroyed the Shang Dynasty. The following year, Jiang Ziya held a grand ceremony atop Mount Tai to confer the gods, and, with the help of the gods and demons, he sealed the 'Seven Azure Dragon's Seven Stars' once again.

So, the Azure Dragon's Seven Stars might be a force that could bring others to an end to war. Or perhaps they held a deeper meaning. But that no longer mattered. The Qin Dynasty would grow increasingly powerful, eventually surpassing the Zhou Dynasty. By then, even if someone truly achieved the status of the Azure Dragon's Seven Stars, what would it matter? What was there to fear from the mighty Qin?

Zhao Chen's words were filled with confidence and dominance, just like Ying Zheng. The Moon Goddess couldn't help but lose her mind.

The sage is born, the future monarch, has his fate really belonged to Qin?

"My lord, I wish to follow you forever!"

"Sister Moon Goddess, isn't she always following me? Even if you want to leave in the future, I will keep you, haha!"

"As long as you don't chase me away, I will follow you for the rest of my life."

"It's a deal then! Pinky promise!"

"Okay, pinky promise!"

One big finger and one small finger intertwined.

---

"Sister, let's go and give the plan to Father."

"Yes, son!"

The two went to Zhangtai Palace.

At this moment, a major event was happening in Zhangtai Palace.

"Your Majesty, Gongshu Chou has made all the farm tools according to your designs. Please inspect them."

"Oh? Have you tried it? How is the effect?"

"Gongshu Chou didn't dare try them out himself. He said these tools were made exactly according to your drawings, and the drawings also included detailed performance instructions, so there would definitely be no problems. He hoped that Your Majesty and the young master would try them out in person."

"Really? Then let's go. Zhao Gao, go inform the prince and the civil and military officials, and have them all present to try out the new farm tools!"

"promise!!"

As soon as Zhao Gao walked out of the palace, he met Zhao Chen.

"This servant pays homage to the young master."

"Zhao Gao, what's the matter with you being in such a hurry?"

"My lord, Gongshu Chou has crafted a large number of agricultural tools, and His Majesty is requesting their inspection. His Majesty has sent me to invite you and the other ministers to come with us. I was just about to inform you!"

"I see. Go and inform the ministers. They really should see the new farm tools."

"Slave, please leave!"

The Moon Goddess carried Zhao Chen into Zhangtai Palace.

"Hey, today is really a rare day. Why did you think of coming here to find me?"

Seeing Zhao Chen, Ying Zheng smiled and spoke jokingly.
