Zheng Guoqu.

Li Yuan and Sima Yin reunited again after a long separation.

With the expansion of the territory of Qin, Li Yuan's status has been rising, and the former lieutenants and captains of Sanchuan County have become a memory in their respective memories.

That's what happens in life.

Once you miss it, you can't get it back.

Sima Yin is a smart person, and the opportunity to meet Li Yuan is getting less and less now, of course he will not chatter about the experience of sharing joys and sorrows together in the past, but in fact, the intersection between Li Yuan and Sima Yin is more associated with Yang Xiong, the former county guard who has been Zhishi, among them, there is distrust at the beginning, and there is also mutual understanding in the end.

Fortunately, Sima Yin still has a chance, and if he can make achievements in the position of military manufacturing, he may win Li Yuan's trust again.

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.

"Sima Dazao, what kind of artifact is on this car, which is going to be transferred all the way from Hanzhong?" Li Yuanyi frowned, looked at the heavy ox cart beside Sima Yin, and asked.

A rare holiday was disturbed, and Li Yuan couldn't help but feel weird in his heart. Sima Yin is a person who knows how to measure, and without important news, he won't even wait for this time, chasing him all the way from Xianyang to Zheng Guoqu.

"Li Hou, iron stone, iron stone has eyebrows, come and see, what is the color of this iron stone?" After being suppressed for a long time, Sima Yin couldn't suppress his excitement, and lifted the curtain and said loudly.

Pride and pride.

It was written on Sima Yin's face.

This is not only his own efforts, but also the joint efforts of many craftsmen, many of whom have not even left their names in history, but it is they who have made history in the hammering again and again.

"Ironstone deposits, where was this found?" Li Yuan's eyes were immediately attracted by the black iron and stone of the whole vehicle, which was a pure thing that could no longer be made by pure nature.

"Yu Li Hou was found in the Fushui Valley. According to the previous exploration. The iron and stone reserves in this place are huge, the whole mountain is, the quality is also excellent, the difficulty of mining now is mainly that the road is not smooth, in addition, the Hanzhong area is a little far away from Xianyang, and there are too few people who are willing to go. Sima Yin is colored.

"Frustrated. It's really a little far away, so let's continue to ask the soldiers to take charge of the affairs of the soldiers, and prepare to move to Hanzhong as a whole. In terms of treatment, the imperial court will have more generous measures. As for traffic and safety issues, after returning to Xianyang, Benhou will immediately convene officials to discuss the matter. In terms of secrecy, I hope that the soldiers will keep it secret and not let others spy on the news. Li Yuan groaned.

An open-pit iron ore mine was discovered in Fu County.

This made Li Yuan almost can't believe his ears, after searching the mountains and rivers in Guanzhong, he basically has no hope of finding a rich iron ore suitable for mining, and he can't imagine the persistence of Sima Yin and others, and finally in exchange for a long-awaited flight meeting in the Qin State.

What does iron ore mean? Others may not be clear. But Li Yuan is clear.

From the Bronze Age to the Iron Age.

This is not only a leap forward in smelting, but also an innovation across the times, iron weapons are more tough and durable than bronze weapons, with the innovation of iron smelting technology in the future. Iron tools not only play a role on the battlefield, but are also widely used in agriculture, construction, commerce, and other fields.

All along, Li Yuan was looking for the reason why the powerful Qin State of Weishenme had a skilled bronze smelter, but lagged behind the Kanto craftsmen in iron smelting. Zuihou's conclusion is two.

One is pride and complacency, due to the problem of charcoal ignition on the iron smelting jishu, the iron sword made is brittle and easy to break. Compared with the bronze sword that is infiltrated with ductile metal, the durability is a little worse, which makes the Daqin craftsmen who are obsessed with bronze not want to forge ahead, do not innovate, and even look down on Guo Zong and others to seek a breakthrough in iron smelting, and only go to the black on the road of bronze, about this, Li Yuan had mentioned it to Master Mo Shi before.

The second is the objective factor, the land of Sanqin is poor in iron ore, but rich in copper ore, this huge gap makes one after another craftsmen who are interested in iron-smelting technology look for open-pit iron ore from hope to disappointment, Zuihou has to go back, and then delve into the bronze that has reached the peak of smelting jishu.

"Li Hou, there is still a concern among his subordinates, the Qin, Qiang, and Han tripartite areas are staggered, the situation is extremely complicated, and the relocation of my Great Qin troops is bound to attract attention, at present, only with more than 1,000 infantry of General Wang Shang, it is really impossible to stop the attack of the Han army." Sima Yin was both happy and worried, and admonished.

"In terms of security, you don't have to worry too much, our army will set off from Guanzhong on the same day and enter Hanzhong along the old road of Chencang, after this strategy is realized, the territory of my Great Qin can be restored to Hanzhong, Ba, and Shu again." Li Yuan said confidently.

The time is about to enter the third year of the Qin New Calendar.

Compared with the solid foundation of the first two years, the Qin State in the third year will actively expand outward on the basis of consolidating Guanzhong, and the first target is Hanzhong and Bashu.

These two large granaries are currently in the hands of Liu Bang, the king of Han, but Liu Bang has begun to shift his attention to the Nanjun area in the east after the failure of the invasion of Guanzhong, and it is a good opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity if the Qin army does not advance south.

――。

Opportunities are always given to those who are prepared.

Li Yuan, who received great news from Sima Yin, couldn't wait to return from Zheng Guoqu by car, ready to convene a group of officials to discuss the southward advance.

And at the same time, in the city of Xianyang.

A man named Judge Shiqi is also nervously planning his grand idea.

From Xicheng in Hanzhong County all the way to the north, he traveled for more than a month before he took a caravan from Kanto to enter Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

This Qin capital trial food it came, the time was just a year ago, at that time, the Han king Liu Bang for the second time into the pass, the trial of his army with Lu Ze as a victor to Xianyang, the scenery at that time to judge it is still clearly remembered, however, I did not expect that only a year later, the broken Qin State actually rose again, this change is really incredible.

After arriving in Xianyang, he took advantage of his strengths in serving people, and sold himself as a slave to the mansion of the eldest princess Ying Yushu.

In order to succeed in discord, you must first get close to the goal.

Judging the food is with the desire to avenge Lu Pheasant, as a person who regards love as the ideal of life, this time, he is determined to fight with his life, and if he does not succeed, he will become benevolent. If he can succeed by luck, Lu Pheasant will believe who is the man who can really be trusted.

After several months of hard work, the pseudonym Shen Bu Harmless Trial finally succeeded in approaching a goal, although it was not the most important eldest princess Ying Yushu as expected, but the Huating princess Ying Yuman.

People gather by like, and things by groups.

Ying Yuman has been extremely uncomfortable recently, and after Xin Chai reached a tacit understanding with Ying Yushu and Gu Yunniang, she found it more and more difficult to integrate into their circle.

Sometimes, some of the things she said, the three of them didn't seem to listen to it, and they didn't take it seriously at all, even if they repeatedly mentioned it in front of her sister Ying Yushu, they couldn't change the mood of Ying Yushu, who had always been gentle and generous. And Gu Yunniang, who was immersed in happiness, was deeply jealous of Ying Yuman.

"This prostitute, how can she get Li Hou's eyes, compared to identity, beauty, and scheming, what is worse than her Huating princess? and Xin Chai that little girl, a young child who has not even developed her breasts, how can she get so much favor from Li Hou. ”

Win Yuman's worries all day and night are not cared about by others, but he sees it in his eyes with ulterior motives, which makes him have a perfect jihua in his heart.

On the day of her mother's birthday, Ying Yuman came to Wangyi Palace, the ruins of the palace where she once lived. The ruined and dilapidated scene made her even more depressed.

"Little princess, but I'm worried about Li Hou's affairs, and my subordinates have a plan here, so I can keep Li Hou from now on, and only pay attention to the little princess alone." Seeing that there was no one left and right, he quietly approached Ying Yuman and said.

"What nonsense are you talking about, what kind of person is Li Hou, how can he only like me." Ying Yuman was interrogated and his mind was broken, and his face immediately turned red.

"Little princess, my subordinates know where the eldest princess meets Li Hou every month, and there is still time, and my subordinates only need to use a little means to make the little princess realize her wish unknowingly." Judging by the smirk, his eyes flashing with pride.

In the past few months, he has been lurking in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and the results are still there, at least let him inquire clearly about the rumored warm relationship between Li Yuan and Ying Yushu. The relationship between this uncle and sister-in-law is actually not just warm, but essentially an "incest" relationship. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Lu Pheasant's plump and soft body again, after making great achievements this time, he must make more efforts to completely subdue Lu Pheasant.

The taste of a can be tasted by Li Yuan, and he can also taste it.

"Shen Bu Harm, do you really have an idea? Let's talk about it, how to make Xin Chai lose her favor? Ying Yuman's body paused, and then whispered.

"If the little princess wants to listen to his opinion, then he must listen to his subordinates in everything." Judging by the food, he bowed slightly, but a smile appeared in the corner of his eye. The long-planned Jihua can finally start.

What kind of person is Ying Yuman?

The analysis has been made clear.

Narrow-minded and jealous. In terms of mind, Ying Yuman was not able to inherit any advantages of the First Emperor, but inherited his shortcomings, I don't know if this is due to the genes of the First Emperor, or because of Liji.

Compared with his sister Ying Yushu, Ying Yuman cares more about Xin Chai, an opponent who is younger than himself and more beautiful than herself, and after obtaining Li Yuan's body, how can she drive Xin Chai out, it has become a matter of great effort for Ying Yuman.
