Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 141 Rapid Development

As the construction of Shu Academy began, the news of Qing donating money to the Qin treasury also spread.

Merchants from all over the country followed suit.

Ying Yuanshen had never felt the pain of counting money until his hands cramped, and now he finally had a physical examination.

Many of Riyingyuan Shenle's two rows of white teeth can't close.

At the same time, the court officials who had made sufficient preparations in advance also came in handy.

Ying Zheng began to arrange personnel to build academies in many places.

Batches of talented people were sent out.

From the king to the common people, everyone in Qin was busy all the time.

At this time, Liao Wu wrote a letter to the Right Prime Minister.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the letter.

Prime Minister, I met the former Crown Prince of Yan in Chu a few days ago. After much investigation, I found out that Ji Dan is now trying to get close to King You of Chu.

Prime Minister, do you want us to bring Ji Dan back to Qin?

Zhang Yuanqing was silent for a long time and then destroyed the letter.

Then he sat down at his desk and wrote a reply.

Ji Dan is not a person to be feared, so don't worry about him for now. Create an opportunity for him to contact the King of Chu.

"A'er, pass this letter to Liao Wu."

"Ada, prepare the car."

Zhang Yuanqing stood up and prepared to go to the Xianyang Palace to report the matter to the king.

Zhangtai Palace

"Your Majesty, Ji Dan is still of great use to our Qin State. Therefore, I have already written back to Liao Wu, creating an opportunity for Ji Dan to meet the King of Chu."

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and nodded.

"Is the Prime Minister planning to have Ji Dan persuade the King of Chu to attack Qin?"

"Your Majesty, that is exactly what I intended."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded in acknowledgment.

"If Ji Dan were to meet the King of Chu, he would certainly try to convince him to attack Qin. However, the Qu and Jing families of Chu would certainly not agree."

"The power of Qin is now known to the world. They don't have the courage. Nor are they as simple-minded as King You of Chu."

"The King of Chu and the nobles disagree on political views, and the state of Chu is in turmoil."

"Then, Your Majesty, attack Chu on the pretext that the King of Chu is shielding the assassin who assassinated me."

"The Chu State destroyed it."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng could not hide his excitement.

There are seven kingdoms in the world, and Qin has now conquered four of them. Unification is just around the corner.

"Okay, let's do as the Prime Minister wishes."

Fusu also looked at his teacher and father happily.

The remaining strength of the six generations of Qin is finally about to unify the world.

The Chu State was unaware of the plan of King Ying Zheng and his ministers.

When Liao Wu received the letter from Zhang Yuanqing.

After careful consideration for several days, I began to prepare.

Nowadays, Qin merchants are still treated with courtesy abroad, otherwise they would have suffered the same fate as Wei.

Liao Wu quickly sent someone to guide Ji Dan to meet the people of Zhao family.

After that, Liao Wu didn't make any move.

However, in just two months, Ji Dan was summoned by the King of Chu because of his talents.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Liao Wu quickly wrote a letter and sent it to the prime minister.

At this time, the Qin State was facing a shortage of talent due to the construction of various academies.

Fortunately, there was not much time left before the autumn harvest, so King Qin decided to advance the college assessment this year.

The students began to prepare eagerly.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing submitted a memorial, "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for the academy to only have literary assessments and no martial arts assessments."

"I propose that after this year, the Great Qin Academy add a martial arts assessment to select talented generals from our Qin State."

After hearing this, the court officials agreed deeply.

"allow."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The students of Daqin College are all full of fighting spirit.

Bingjia saw that his chance had finally arrived, and the teachers began to supervise the students' studies day and night, just waiting for them to pass the examination next year and show what they had learned.

In this way, the literary examination was brought forward, the King of Qin gained a group of useful talents, and the shortage of talents in Qin was expanded.

As students were assigned one by one, the Qin State also welcomed another year's autumn harvest.

The whole country is filled with joy over this bumper harvest.

At the same time, farmers' improved cloth weaving and tie-dyeing techniques have also matured.

A new textile factory was established in Xianyang, and women from Xianyang signed up one after another.

After the autumn harvest, it was the 16th year of King Zheng of Qin.

The construction of the academy that Zhao Gao was in charge of was completed, and he returned to Xianyang to report.

Zhang Yuanqing and Fusu began to select teachers for the college.

Just like last time, each of the hundreds of families was asked to recommend a suitable person, and finally Zhang Yuanqing and Fusu decided on the final candidate.

During this busy period, winter came.

The King of Qin sent another batch of weapons to Li Mu in the northern border. Li Mu excitedly led the Qin army to start killing indiscriminately on the grassland.

They captured tens of thousands of Huns and only began to march towards the Donghu after chasing them deep into the grasslands and losing their trace.

The Donghu people, who had heard about the plight of the Xiongnu, had already decided that they would not plunder the Yan people, oh, now they should be called Qin people, this year.

Who would have thought that if they didn't go, the Qin general would come with a large army to attack them.

Many Donghu people were captured before they had time to escape.

The queen happily accepted the slave.

The more the merrier.

The more the merrier.

This winter, the situation between the three countries was exceptionally calm, without any disturbance.

The spring sun is warm and it feels especially warm on people.

The whole Qin State began to get busy again.

Spring ploughing.

In the Mohist workshop, batches of farm tools were shipped out and distributed to farmers in various parts of the Qin State.

Officials from all over the country also pay special attention to spring plowing.

Officials and civilians worked together and were busy in the fields.

Prime Minister's Mansion

"My Lord, this is the new fabric from the factory."

Ah Er brought in two boxes of cloth with him.

"The king has already sent quite a few, and these are for the Marquis to use."

"Especially this azure color. It took dyers several months to create this color."

"I think it is the most suitable for you, my Lord."

As he said that, Ah Er opened the box himself, and inside was the sky blue cloth.

Zhang Yuanqing put down the book in his hand and stood up.

Ah Er picked up the batch of sky-blue cloth.

Zhang Yuanqing pulled it open a little, and it was indeed beautiful.

"My Lord, the weather is mild now. Let the embroiderers make you some suitable robes."

"It will look great on you, my Lord."

Zhang Yuanqing smiled and nodded.

"Go ahead and do a few more."

"promise."

Ah Er took his people out, put the other fabrics into the warehouse, and took the sky-blue cloth to the embroiderer's residence.

In just five days, Zhang Yuanqing had changed into new clothes.

His already handsome face looked even fairer.

The sky blue color seemed to be a color specially customized for him.

It makes the already gentle Zhang Yuanqing even more gentle and graceful, unparalleled in the world.

Just standing there makes people feel like the spring breeze is blowing and the warm sun is shining.

Qingque looked at the Marquis like this and his mind flickered.

"Why? Doesn't it look good on me?"

Seeing that Ada and Aer were silent, Zhang Yuanqing looked down at himself in confusion.

"No, no, it's really beautiful."

"Only the Marquis can wear this robe so beautifully."

Ah Da didn't know what words to use to describe it, so he could only praise it in a clumsy way.

Zhang Yuanqing found it funny. How could it be so exaggerated?

"The weather is nice today, let's go out for a walk."

"promise."

Zhang Yuanqing, who hadn't been out for a long time, felt that everything looked particularly pleasing to the eye.

The current Xianyang City has changed from when he first came to Qin.

Zhang Yuanqing walked slowly on the road in Xianyang.

Most of the people they met on the road knew Zhang Yuanqing and immediately gave way to him.

A Da and A Er followed Zhang Yuanqing with their guards, protecting the person walking in front who had become a sight in everyone's eyes.
