my grandfather was qin shi huang

These warlocks have been thrown into prison since they entered Xianyang. They were fine at the beginning, and people would come over from time to time to interrogate and torture them. However, in the past half month, they have been completely ignored.

It's like the world has forgotten him.

In the first few days, everyone was quite happy, but as time went on, they became more uneasy and uneasy. After all, hundreds of colleagues were tricked and killed earlier.

With the cruel temper of the First Emperor, how could people like him end up well?

It's like there is a knife hanging on your neck. If you say you drop it, it won't drop. If you say you won't drop it, it will still keep gesticulating around your neck.

More than ten days have passed, and some people can no longer sleep well.

It was worse than when I was tortured every day, and there were bags under my eyes.

But no matter how much he yelled, no one answered him. Those with poor psychological quality almost collapsed. But fortunately, this is a prison, not a small dark room specially prepared by Zhao Ying. There are many people crowded together. , otherwise, if locked up for so long, people would probably be almost useless.

"Yu Shitai Jiang Cheng, Hu Wei has met His Highness the Emperor's Grandson——"

With the manpower in hand, as soon as they walked out of the courtyard and before they walked out of the gate of Yushitai, two familiar officials blocked the way with wry smiles on their faces.

Zhao Ying: ...

The moment he saw the two people, Zhao Ying remembered what he had forgotten.

Hundreds of warlocks are still in prison.

A few days ago, I told people that I would deal with it immediately, but in the end, I just threw it aside. In fact, the main reason was that although the First Emperor threw it to him, he never cared about it.

After the public display of bluestone calligraphy by local officials, the controversy surrounding Shangjun's prophecy gradually subsided.

The reason why the previous prophecies always stirred up dark waves and could not be suppressed was that on the one hand it was because some people were adding fuel to the flames and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to confuse people's hearts; on the other hand, it was because everyone did not know what was going on.

Well now, everyone knows——

Then there's nothing surprising about it.

The villain is causing trouble——

Moreover, all the villains who were behind the scenes have been arrested en masse and will be severely punished sooner or later. What else is there to worry about? The most important thing is that this kind of thing is a taboo of the imperial court. After the eldest son helped Su Xiaoyu return, no one dared to speak for them publicly.

Many people even jumped out and cursed. These people deserved their punishment.

"I happen to be looking for two..."

Zhao Ying stepped forward and helped the two officials from the Yushitai with a gentle smile.

"The matter of the prophecy has been put on hold for the most part. There should be no disturbance outside. It's a good time to deal with it. You can go there from today, arrange the manpower and re-interrogate——"

Having said this, Zhao Ying gently patted the shoulders of the two of them.

"You don't have to limit yourself to prophecies. You should uphold the court's laws and maintain the dignity of the court. You should open your mind and take a longer view - the results of the interrogation will be sent to me later..."

"promise--"

Seeing His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun walking away with a relaxed expression, Jiang Cheng and Hu Wei couldn't help but look at each other.

The emperor's grandson seems to have something in his words. What does he mean?

"Forget it, don't worry about what the emperor's grandson means. We, the servants, can't do anything wrong if we do our jobs well. Didn't His Highness the emperor's grandson say, let me examine it carefully and don't stick to the prophecy. Then we will Go ahead and record the situation clearly and send it to His Highness the Emperor Changsun for review..."

Hu Wei deeply believed what Jiang Cheng said.

Now that there are clear instructions, what are you waiting for?

Trial!

So, instead of being left in jail, these unlucky warlocks who were almost forgotten finally received the care from the Yushitai, and they were roughly pulled out for interrogation one by one.

Whips, splints, sticks, and various instruments of torture were all ready. However, what Jiang Cheng and Hu Wei didn't expect was that the interrogation went surprisingly smoothly.

Only a few people struggled a little symbolically, and everyone else explained it happily.

Judging from the posture, it seemed that he was breathing a sigh of relief, which made Jiang Cheng and Hu Wei, the two officials in charge of the interrogation, feel that these people were crazy.

However, it is a good thing that the interrogation work is going smoothly.

So, he simply transferred some more scribes from Yushitai and began to take charge of these people's records.

People are really easy to infect each other. Everyone just lies down and accepts their fate. Occasionally, a few people with a firm mind will feel relieved when they see others coming back with relaxed faces and lying there sleeping without any worries. ‘

What's more, after all, there are only a few who do evil, and those who commit heinous crimes are even rarer.

These people have nothing to resist in their hearts. Whatever you ask or say, if you want to know, I can tell you what position your mother-in-law likes to use when sleeping.

……

Zhao Ying didn't know that because of his negligence, he was thrown into prison and tortured for two months, which could have such an effect.

He took several officials who were responsible for drawing maps from the Yushitai and returned directly to his study. While ordering his servants to prepare tea, he stated his purpose straight to the point.

"In the past two days, I have redrawn the mountain and terrain map of our Daqin and surrounding areas. I invite you all to come over today for two purposes. First, I want you to help me take a look and pick out the fallacies in this map. Second, After it is formed, I need to break this map down into more detailed mini-maps according to counties - the basic requirement is to reproduce the mountains and rivers and try to match the actual terrain..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying smiled and looked seriously at the dozen or so officials in charge of drawing maps from the Yushitai in front of him.

"This matter is of great importance. I hope you will do your best. After the matter is completed, I will definitely ask for credit from Your Majesty in person! Everyone will be promoted to the first level and rewarded with thousands of gold coins!"

"promise--"

Everyone responded with a bang.

I originally thought I was catching a young man, and I was helping for nothing. I didn't expect such an unexpected surprise, and everyone was naturally in high spirits.

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded, then went to the side in person and took out the three-dimensional map that he had worked overtime to draw yesterday. It was carefully placed on the large square table that had been prepared long ago.

"Look, gentlemen -"

In fact, all the people at the Yushitai did not need to be greeted by Zhao Ying. As soon as he laid out the map, some of the officials who were smart took the initiative to gather around and help open the huge map.

When I touched the map, I felt a little strange.

What is this?

It looked like cloth, but felt a little different. It was much lighter and brittle than ordinary cloth. I originally wanted to ask, but the moment my eyes fell on the map, I immediately put this curiosity aside. !

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

As the map unfolded, a three-dimensional map of mountains, rivers and the country slowly appeared in front of everyone. Mountains, rivers, plateaus, hills, and even desert grasslands are all clearly visible.

It's like overlooking the entire Daqin Mountains from a high place!

They have been drawing maps all their lives. They have been responsible for drawing maps since their ancestors. They have never seen such a three-dimensional map. The benefits of such a map are obvious to these people.

It’s so clear, so specific, it’s definitely a weapon for the country!

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun, this, this is - you drew it yourself?"

An old man in his 60s, with a thin appearance and gray hair, looked at Zhao Ying in disbelief with an excited expression.

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

"The drawing I made in a hurry last night is a bit sloppy and probably contains a lot of errors. I invite everyone here today just to help correct it..."

"Don't dare - the young master is too modest, the villain is willing to do his best..."

After the old man finished speaking, everyone else bowed in unison with their faces flushed.

"The villain is willing to do his best..."

Unexpectedly, I would have the opportunity to participate in such a grand event in person!

Everyone suddenly burst into tears of gratitude to the two imperial censors who had recruited them as young men. They knew that this would be an initiative that would have a far-reaching impact on future generations, and would even leave a mark in the history books.

Everyone couldn't help but almost trembled with excitement at the thought of this possibility.

Seeing that everyone's morale had been mobilized, Zhao Ying did not waste any time and directly asked these people to start finding errors on their own maps. It started smoothly, but as the work progressed, the progress soon became stuck. .

There are some details that even the officials who draw maps all year round cannot be sure of.

Need to access information!

Originally, Zhao Ying thought it was enough. After all, this was just a rough topographic map of mountains and rivers. He mainly wanted those in his military camp who had never had the opportunity to travel all over the country to make an overall change in the mountains and rivers of Daqin. Have a global concept.

But this time, the group of people transferred from Yushitai did not know what illness they had. Instead of being submissive and just following orders, they became surprisingly tough and firmly begged Zhao Ying not to do anything. sloppy.

"Your Highness, this is an important weapon of the country. How can there be any mistakes in the grand deeds of our Great Qin..."

Zhao Ying: ...

I couldn't laugh or cry in my heart, but I had to admit that what they said was right. Why could Da Qin's various production technologies be the best among the six countries? It depends on this true spirit.

Rigorous, conscientious, and pursuing details!

Zhao Ying nodded.

"The old man said it well, but I was wrong..."

Zhao Ying stepped forward with a smile, personally helped several older officials up, pointed at the map with a smile, and looked around his somewhat crowded study.

"According to your words, we will work together to create a map of the country and the country of Qin that can be passed down to future generations!"

"promise!"

More than a dozen people, most of whom were old men in their 60s or [-]s, shouted with the aura of a strong boy of [-] or [-] years old, which made Zhao Ying's ears buzz.

"Let's work together today to adjust the general terrain based on the map I drew - this map is too small and many details cannot be reflected, but we will go from west to east, county by county. Draw detailed pictures..."

Having said that, Zhao Ying smiled.

"However, this matter is not something that can be accomplished in a day, nor is it something that just a few of us can do. Since everyone is willing to come out to do this, then I will personally ask your Majesty for instructions and set aside a special area in the Yushitai. There is a place, and everyone is kind-hearted and focused on doing this well..."

When Zhao Ying said this, the group of people became happy.

"What His Highness said is absolutely——"

With Zhao Ying's promise, this group of people became more motivated to work. Not only did they quickly help Zhao Ying complete the sketch of the mountain topography map, but they also mainly adjusted the direction of some mountains, rivers, and the distribution of some lakes and deep forests.

Over thousands of years, these things have changed a lot. Not to mention changes, the Yellow River alone has changed its course several times, which has changed a lot from later generations.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Ying simply asked these people to help them build a sand table together.

For these officials at Yushitai, this is also a brand new job. The only advantage is that they are really familiar with the geographical situation of various places.

With their guidance, the progress of the craftsmen at home has been much faster.

By noon, most of it was done.

Looking at the sand table that has begun to take shape, everyone's eyes are excited, and there is a vague feeling in their hearts that the Great Qin Kingdom is being born under their own hands.

Zhao Ying saw that although everyone was highly motivated, many people already had tired looks on their faces. After all, many of these people were already in their 60s and [-]s.

Immediately announced that we would take a break for dinner.

There were many people, so Zhao Ying didn't prepare too elaborate food. He just asked the chef to stew a few goats, a pot of venison, fried a few pots of bean sprouts, cooked a pot of tofu, and then asked the chef to make dumplings. .

It's winter, everyone has been busy all morning, at least they need to have a hot meal.

However, where have these people ever tasted such delicacies?

Although there is Tianxiang Pavilion in Xianyang City now, Tianxiang Pavilion itself is on the upper-class route. Every dish is expensive. For low-level officials like them, who can afford it?

It's already a big deal to have a meal with others once in a while.

Unexpectedly, His Highness the Emperor's Grandson would be so generous and enthusiastic today, and he would directly let him eat——

The favorability in my heart towards Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the emperor, is rising steadily. This means that Zhao Ying does not have an attribute panel, otherwise he would definitely see dense favorability +1+1...

I don’t know if it was because of the delicious food. Zhao Ying originally wanted to let everyone rest for a while after the meal. Who knows, this group of people put down their jobs and rested for less than a cup of tea. Many old people couldn’t help but start eating again. Surround them.

Work!

Many old people were so engrossed in the work that their beards and hair were covered with clay and sand, but they didn't care. They stared at the sand table that was gradually taking shape, with excited expressions on their faces.

……

Zhangtai Palace.

After talking about the matter, the First Emperor looked at Wei Liaozi, the white-haired Taiwei in front of him, and put down the "Forging the Soul of the Army" in his hand.

"Aren't you very interested in that child? There's nothing going on right now, so I'll take you there myself to have a look - you don't know, that child has a greenhouse at home, and even now, he has something new there. We went there today and asked him to prepare some side dishes for us to go with wine..."

After hearing what the First Emperor said was funny and easy-going, Taiwei Liao stood up with a smile.

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask -"

After saying that, the two old men who had fought side by side all their lives couldn't help laughing at each other and stood up.

He walked straight to the eldest son's house as he walked.

……

"It's done—"

In the backyard of the eldest son's residence and outside the study, there was a roar of cheers.

After a day of hard work, the sand table that Zhao Ying wanted was finally completed. Looking at the majestic mountains and rivers, everyone was very excited.

Especially when they thought about the need to draw more detailed three-dimensional maps according to regions and create sand tables of various places that looked like real scenes, this group of people became even more excited.

The First Emperor and Taiwei Liao, who had just arrived at Zhao Ying's courtyard, couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the cheers inside.

"Your Majesty, today, we seem to have caught up with a good day..."

The First Emperor laughed dumbly and shook his head.

"Although this child is smart, he just doesn't know how to concentrate on doing things. When he has nothing to do, he just likes to sort out messy things..."

Although he said this, there was a smile on his face.

Wei Liaozi had also heard of the emperor's eldest grandson's name a long time ago, and had seen the emperor's eldest grandson's dexterous mind that was like a celestial being.

"That's because the emperor's eldest grandson cares about state affairs and thinks about the people of the world..."

The two people walked in while talking.

"Father, Taiwei——"

The First Emperor's height was so conspicuous that as soon as he entered the courtyard, he naturally attracted everyone's attention. Zhao Ying quickly stepped forward to greet him, and everyone around him bowed and saluted without daring to raise his head.

The First Emperor smiled and nodded. His eyes were subconsciously attracted to the huge sand table on the ground. This was——

He couldn't help but stare.

He involuntarily quickened his pace. At the same time, Taiwei Liao also discovered the huge sand table on the ground. His dim old eyes couldn't help but light up. He followed the footsteps of the First Emperor and hurried towards it.

"This is my country!"

The First Emperor stared at the lifelike map in front of him and couldn't help but take a deep breath!
