My brother is the most handsome man in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 404 Don't Test Me, I Didn't Kill Him

The convoy has arrived in front of Yiyang City.

The First Emperor opened the curtain with an unhappy look on his face. He first glanced at this wealthy city in Korea, and immediately sensed something unusual.

Inside the wide-open city gate, laughter and laughter gushed out. This was something that had never happened in all the cities that the first emperor walked through—the people of Yiyang were very happy.

The first emperor's complexion did not improve at all because of the joy that overflowed the city gate. He did not believe that these people were so happy because of his arrival.

The fact that these people in Han are not hostile to him is already the result of his brother's dedicated governance.

I want these people who say they are Qin people to be Koreans to worship him more than those old Qin people in Guanzhong.It is even more difficult than Lian Heng's Zhang Yi, who only took one mouth to go to various countries, and broke the alliance of the five countries with a three-inch tongue. It is almost impossible.

If it is not because of the external him that the change has occurred, it is because of the internal cause.

The scientist walked up to the First Emperor. He was wearing a black gown with an ink word on the right chest. This was the official uniform of the inner government.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

He cupped his hands and bowed his head in a very respectful manner.

The First Emperor did not speak, but stared at the scientist coldly.

If he doesn't speak, the scientist can only maintain this posture and cannot move.

In the convoy, whether it is the Lang Guan who forms the most central defense circle; or the veterans of many battles holding flags in the outer circle; and the Qin soldiers who are carefully selected from the major armies with gongs and drums, etc. .

While taking pictures of the aura of the first emperor, while being naturally quiet, everyone was worried about the scientists from the bottom of their hearts.

The scientist was originally an official of the Qin State. After becoming a Mohist tycoon with Ying Chengxun, he has not lost his official position. He is still a very famous master craftsman in the Shaofu of the Qin State in charge of ordnance production.

This great craftsman is not that great general, but in the eyes of the most arrogant military culture cultivated by the Qin State's martial culture over the past century, Qin Mo's great craftsman is not much less respected than the general.

Qin Mo has a high status in the Qin military.

As the saying goes, if the public wants to benefit their affairs, they must first sharpen their weapons. The victory of a war is closely related to weapons.

Qin Mo's sword can be cast to three feet and still be sharp, and the sword body is not brittle and bends constantly. This is Qin Mo's contribution.

On the battlefield, the two-foot-long sword generally has an advantage of one foot against the countries. Often the enemy's sharp sword has not touched the Qin army, and the Qin sword has cut off the enemy's head.

Whether the Qin army can win or not, Qin Mo, who provides ordnance support for the Qin army and constantly updates it, has at least three successes.

Victory will lead to military exploits, and military exploits will lead to promotions.

Qin Mo is an important help for the Qin army to increase the ranks.No matter how arrogant a general is, he treats a master Qin Mo with kindness and caring, and deliberately puts a three-pointer on his figure.

No Qin Bing wants to have an accident with a master Qin Mo.

Ying Chengyu sat as calm as a mountain in the carriage and did not come forward to rescue the enemy. This hurdle must be overcome by the scientist himself. He would only come forward when the First Emperor was so angry that he wanted to massacre the whole city of Yiyang.

If the scientist did not get the approval of Emperor Shihuang, he had no choice but to take back Yiyang.

At least this is much better than the result of the Qin army suppressing the situation and repeating the killings in Zhaodi in the previous three months in Yiyang.

Ying Zheng didn't wait to come back to make a stern or gag relief, and understood what his brother meant.

This trip to Yiyang was not a process, and Ying Chengxun did not report to him to protect this Mohist city to the death.Instead, he really wanted him to experience the Mohist school and decide the fate of this never-before-seen Mohist county.

Mohism, like Taoism, has never been truly used to govern the country.

But the difference between the two is.

Taoism does not rule the country because the kings of the countries believe that Taoism is useless.

Mohism does not rule the country, but Mohism has not found an ideal monarch that conforms to Mohism.

"Get up.

"It's not a small skill for you to make that Zhuzi entangled to this point, so lead the way."

Lang Guan, veterans of hundreds of battles, and guards of honor all heaved a sigh of relief.

Although the First Emperor's praise was a bit strange, at least the master's life was not in danger.

The first emperor got off the king's chariot with four horses alone, and led Zhang Han to lead Yishi Langguan.Under the guidance of scientists, he entered Yiyang, the city of Mohism.

Ying Chengyu was in Si Ma Wang's carriage, quietly waiting for the result.

After entering Yiyang, Ying Zheng discovered more differences.

Everyone he saw along the way looked at him with utmost admiration.

This kind of gaze, the last time Yingzheng saw it was Wucheng Marquis Wang Jian led the army to attack Chu, and that's how the Qin soldiers below looked at Wang Jian.

Although the focus of his eyes seemed to be on Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng knew very well that Yiyang Qianshou was looking at the scientist who was a step away from him.

Ying Zheng didn't say anything, he walked like a dragon, looked around, and had a panoramic view of everything.

Those eagle eyes were radiant and oppressive. Wherever they saw it, the people would lower their heads unconsciously.

"When I first became the county magistrate, the city's population was less than 21, but now it has reached [-]."

Scientists are reporting data.

During the Qin Dynasty, if the population of a county was more than [-], it was an absolute big county.Most of them are the first county of a county, also called the county government, that is, the county where the county guard handles government affairs.

When establishing prefectures and counties, there was only one prefecture in Han, which was Xinzheng.

The first county of Xinzheng County is Xinzheng County, and the county guard is strong here.

During this trip to Korea, Ying Zheng also visited Xinzheng County, the county governor. The county guard Qiang reported that the total population of Xinzheng was 11.

"21 million.

"In three months, the population has increased from 21 to [-], more than quadrupling, [-] more than Xinzheng. How did you do it?"

Within a county, although the population of a county exceeds that of the county, although it is not much, it is not so small, which is not unusual.

But that was all slightly over, like Yiyang, surpassing Xinzheng by [-], nearly twice the amount, which is outrageous, let alone raised from [-].

Except for Xinzheng, all the counties visited by the first emperor had a population of around [-] to [-], and none of them exceeded [-].

In the Qin Dynasty, where technology was not advanced, people were the labor force, and the more people in a city, the greater the development potential.

"Because there are few rich people in Han, but there are many poor people."

The scientist's voice was flat.

"What do you mean by that?"

The first emperor didn't know why.

What he asked was how the population was raised, and what was the relationship between the rich and the poor.

"I have a decree that all the people who enter Yiyang will have enough to eat and a safe place to live. I have never paid much attention to the population, but the population of Yiyang is increasing day by day."

Emperor Shi Huang understood clearly:
"It turns out that all the poor people from all over the country have entered Yiyang. I said why there are no beggars in the counties. Except for Xinzheng, none of the population exceeds [-]."

The scientist's voice remained flat.

"No, the poor people who entered Yiyang were a minority, and most of them died in the wild. Your Majesty's convoy can pass through Han land unimpeded, and it can cross several counties in one day, but the poor who cannot eat well can't. The distance between the two counties , Your Majesty's convoy can pass in half a day, but they can't get there until they die."

The extremely smooth narration was like a glass of boiled water, but it made the heart of the First Emperor feel like boiling water rolling down!
"Zhang Han, that's really the case!"

He turned his head and asked.

During this journey, except for arriving at the destination, he was in the four-horse king's carriage, and he could not see the lush vegetation on the roadside and the new bones in the vegetation.

This question is somewhat unreasonable, Zhang Han is not a poor person traveling from the county, how can he know the truth.

But Zhang Han, as the first emperor's confidant, understood what the first emperor was asking.

Shen Sheng said:
"It's not uncommon for ministers to see corpses, and they can be seen thousands of miles away."

Ying Zheng's extremely persuasive gaze suddenly lost its luster.

The way the convoy took was the road of carriages, and most of the poor who could not afford to eat took the small paths that could not be said.

There are thousands of corpses on both sides of a road, how many corpses will there be on those trails densely packed between grass and sand.

The First Emperor's heart was very heavy, and most of the joy he gained from the new ideas of governing the country during his trip to Korea was gone.

The main reason for his tour this time is to suppress, but the second reason may not be that he has not seen the real world for himself, and the idea of ​​not being blindfolded by those officials in the court.

He didn't expect that what he could see was still the glorious side of this world.

Looking at the eyes of those heads of Guizhou all around who were full of light and looked at the scientists adoringly, the first emperor knew why—the grace of saving lives.

He was silent for a moment and said:
"Does Cheng Yu know about this?"

"I don't know." The scientist stopped in his tracks and said, "Your Majesty, you are the son of heaven, you are the father of the emperor. We are all your sons, your people, and your ministers, not Chang'an Lord. Chang'an Lord once said that the greater the ability , the greater the responsibility. I personally think that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility."

"I know."

"The minister continues to lead the way for His Majesty."

The scientist took a step forward, followed by Emperor Shi Huangdi.

Yingzheng has seen that the Mohists perform their duties and eat corn together.

After seeing that both farmers and craftsmen are wearing coarse linen clothes - he can only roughly judge what they are doing from what the people of Yiyang have done, not through clothing.

He saw everyone talking and laughing, everyone greeted scientists enthusiastically, and everyone called scientists giants.

And from the dictation of the scientist, it is also known that everyone in this Yiyang city is a Mohist.

He has also read a lot of books, read the classics of the Mohist family, and he deeply understands what kind of group the Mohist family is, and he understands why his brother is so entangled.

He followed the scientist to the county magistrate's mansion, which looked very ordinary and shabby, no different from the nearby dwellings.

Glancing at the environment inside the house, he said with a little apology:
"You did a great job, but this city cannot exist."

The scientist smiled unsurprisingly, and said rebelliously:
"Is it because I am better than His Majesty?"

Zhang Han was furious, holding the Qin sword in his hand!

"An dare to be rude to His Majesty!"

Except for Ying Chengyu, no one can be so rude. There is no other Chang'an Lord in this world.

"good."

The voice of the First Emperor suddenly caused most of Zhang Han's murderous intention to dissipate. The hand holding the sword hilt also lost its strength, and his heart was filled with shock.

[How can His Majesty say that? ]
The Emperor Shi Huang, who was never afraid to admit his shortcomings and admitted his mistakes, said in a deep voice:
"They only have you in their eyes, not me.

“They are no longer my sons, my people, and my ministers.

"There are only two ways to go to Yiyang. Either I send a large army to slaughter the city, or send all the people to other cities and counties."

The scientist showed no signs of fear, and a stern look flashed on his face.

"Your Majesty can't do anything other than kill? If you treat Your Majesty according to His Majesty's law, does Your Majesty think you can get out of Yiyang City?"

Shi Huang put his left hand into his bosom, drew out a gun, and pointed at the scientist's head.

"You will die, I will not."

Protecting him is not only Lang Guan on the bright side, but also Zhang Han with superb martial arts, and the shadow guard who sneaked into Yiyang secretly.

The scientist sneered, and also put his hand into his arms.

Under Shi Huang's frowning, he slowly drew out a pistol.

slap~
The moment the dark black gun handle was just exposed, Zhang Han's pupils shrank sharply.

In an instant, the tiptoes were on the ground, and stone chips flew from the landing point, stepping on a small stone pit!The figure was as swift as a strong wind, and he snatched most of the pistols that were still in the scientist's lapel.

The whole process was extremely smooth, and the scientist didn't resist at all, as if he hadn't reacted yet.

With the pistol in his hand, Zhang Han was half wary and half puzzled as he looked at the scientist.

It went so well.

At such a close distance, he could feel the considerable internal strength in the scientist's body. Although it was far inferior to him, it shouldn't be impossible for him to make even a single movement.

"I'm not good at fighting."

said the scientist.

Zhang Han: ...

While keeping his eyes on the scientist, he handed the pistol to Emperor Shihuang.This kind of big killer was the only one he had ever seen in his life. If a scientist successfully pulled out a gun and pointed it at it, he wouldn't have much confidence in being able to dodge it.

Shi Huang frowned and took the second pistol, feeling that it was lighter than the original one.Push the magazine, sure enough, there is no bullet.

He frowned and looked up at the scientist.

"What do you mean by that?"

"The intention is to tell His Majesty that the minister said that he wants to keep His Majesty, it's not aimless."

The scientist pointed to the two pistols in the hands of the first emperor.

"There are three pistols in the world, all of which are from the Mohist school. This thing is invincible in a single fight, but under the siege of the crowd, it does not have much effect.

"Lang Zhongling's martial arts are unmatched in the world, but I, a Mohist ranger, can still find one or two rivals. I don't know how the dozens of guards who follow His Majesty secretly compare with the hidden guards. If they are not ten times better than the hidden guards, they will not be able to save His Majesty.

"In other places, it is arrogant for the minister to say this, but in Yiyang, where there are many Mohists in the world, if the minister says that His Majesty can't leave, His Majesty can't leave."

At the gate of Yiyang City, inside the carriage of King Si Ma.

Ying Chengxue, who asked the difficult question, fell asleep. He chatted with Zhao Gongming yesterday and stayed up in the middle of the night. He lacked sleep.

"Shuzi! You did a good job!"

Waking up from his sleep with an angry shout, Ying Chengxun rubbed his eyes.

The First Emperor stood in front of him with an angry expression on his face, and slapped the pistol he presented to him beside him.

Ying Chengxun was furious.

"How dare a scientist use a gun against the emperor's brother? That's outrageous!
"Brother Huang, calm down, I have dismissed his county magistrate and asked the people of Yiyang to go to other counties."

Scratching his head, Ying Chengqiao tried and said:
"Are you satisfied with this treatment? Where is the scientist now?"

Emperor Shihuang sneered.

"You slept soundly.

"There's no need to test me, I didn't kill him."

Ying Chengxue breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that he didn't die.

If he knew that scientists dared to shoot the first emperor, he would definitely follow him into Yiyang, and he would lie in the carriage to catch up on sleep.
