In the next few days, Lü Buwei was busy disbursing money, raising military salaries, and purchasing tools.

On the Ying Zheng side, he went to Jingyao every day to check the manufacturing process of "my ware" and the analysis of the patterns of the tomb of King Wu of Zhou.

As for the forging of Jiuding, it can only be dragged back, after all, it is not the time to study Jiuding.

In the past, Ying Zheng found something, so he threw it to the Jing family class to study, but this time he was stuck with the craftsmen all day long, except for going back to the palace to sleep, the rest of the time stayed in Jingyao.

Lü Buwei reminded him in a timely manner, and he really couldn't wait anymore to build the royal tomb.

However, Ying Zheng also really learned a lot about construction and blacksmithing, and sometimes he was eager to reach out and operate it himself.

Finally, on this day, the alloy material used to make "my device" was smelted.

I don't know what method Li Si used, the alloys were soaked in a pool of water.

However, the pool is not filled with water, most of it is tin water with a variety of liquid materials.

The mold of "my device" has also been completed, and I don't know what material Li Si chose to synthesize.

The next procedure is very cumbersome, and although Ying Zheng is watching from the side, he can't figure out why.

In the perception of ordinary people, smelting metal requires a very high temperature, but the liquid used to refine this alloy does not need to be burned for too long, and it does not need to be beaten to remove impurities like usual, but it is constantly soaked and boiled with various types of liquid mixtures.

According to Lis's words, it is called quenching, not smelting.

For this magical technology, not only Yingzheng, but even most craftsmen have never heard of it, and it is simply a breakthrough in cognition.

However, Ying Zheng faintly felt that Li Si seemed to be familiar with this method of refining for a long time, but he just pretended not to know, just like the formula of gunpowder, if it wasn't for the need to mine minerals, he wouldn't have said it.

However, Ying Zheng didn't want to ask deeply, maybe Li Si still said: "I'll talk about it when the master comes." ”

Jing Fan, as the class leader, is the most attentive to learning this alternative forging process, and every time he goes to a link, he will ask several questions and record his own problems.

When it came time to make "my tools" using molds, all the craftsmen gathered.

Except for the people who did their jobs, the rest watched this breakthrough moment nervously.

According to Li Si's instructions, the craftsmen first dissolved the alloy material in a light green liquid, and then began to fire, and after about an hour, they saw that the alloy material was still dissolved in that liquid.

The whole solution turns yellowish.

The craftsmen began to pour this solution into the mold, and after the filling was done, the entire mold was buried in the sand.

Finally, it is placed around the sand pile with charcoal fire and slowly baked.

The waiting process was very long, and it took three days.

Ying Zhengchang breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to ease the tension caused by anticipation a little.

No way, no matter how anxious you are, you have to wait.

But it's okay to take care of some other things in the next few days.

Ying Zheng took Li Si to Wen Ring.

After seeing Cao Yi and Chen Li in Yongcheng, Ying Zheng wanted to ask Sima Jie about it, but after returning to Xianyang, he plunged into the Jing kiln, if it weren't for Zhao Gao's thoughtfulness waiting beside him, Ying Zheng would have forgotten that he was the King of Qin.

If you continue like this, I'm afraid you will really become a craftsman.

After Wen Liju sat down, Sima Jie opened his mouth to greet him: "Wang Shang traveled this time, did he have a good time?" ”

"It's fine." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "But the widow regrets not taking you with me." ”

"Bring Weichen?" Sima Jie also thought that Yingzheng was referring to Sima Hong's search for minerals, so he said, "My father is more familiar with the minerals in the family, and it is enough to have my father accompany the king." ”

"The widow wants to talk to you, but it's not about minerals." Ying Zheng said.

"What's that?" Sima Jie asked with some puzzlement.

"Think again

Think, who do you know in Yongcheng? "Ying Zheng deliberately sold a pass.

"Yongcheng?" Sima Jie frowned, as if he had thought of something, "Back to the king, Wei Chen once sent two guest ministers to Yongcheng, except for these two people, they are all Wei Chen's playmates. ”

"That's what the widow wants to say, these two people." Ying Zheng said.

Sima Jie nodded and said: "These two people are people whom Wei Chen met before the establishment of Wen Liju, these two are extremely talented, but they are quite introverted, although they are not Qin people, but they want to show their ambitions in the Qin State. ”

"Wait." Ying Zheng interrupted Sima Jie, "If these two are both talented, why do they want to show their ambitions in Daqin? ”

"Weichen wants to help the king select talents, how can he not consider it." Sima Jie said, "These two people were moved by seeing a place like Wen Juju that had never appeared in other countries, and they fell in love with the different kings of each country, and among the people in the same batch, these two people were also quite far-sighted. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "The people you trust, the widow also thinks it's okay, otherwise how could you just choose the two of them to go to Yongcheng." What the widow wants to know more is, what are their abilities? ”

Sima Jie thought for a while and said: "At that time, because the Wen Ring Residence had not been opened for a long time, and the standards of scribes were not considered, Wei Chen couldn't judge whether the two of them were talented or not, and whether they were suitable to enter the court as officials, so it was better to wait for them to come back, and the king would consider it personally." ”

"On this aspect, the widow has already considered it." Ying Zheng looked at Sima Jie and said.

"Could it be that the king has already met the two of them when he went to Yongcheng this time?" Sima Jie asked in surprise.

Li Si said on the side: "Yes, at that time, the king ordered Meng Tian to send a few soldiers to blend in with Chang Yu's soldiers, and then I remembered that you once sent two people to live in Yongcheng. After looking around, I learned that the two people had entered the mansion of Marquis Changxin. ”

Sima Jie didn't understand Yingzheng's intentions, and said, "Mixed into the Changxin Marquis Mansion? Could it be that there is something wrong with Changxinhou? Didn't the king say that he was looking for two reliable and knowledgeable people to live in Yongcheng in order to find out the news of the Queen Mother at any time? ”

Ying Zheng sighed lightly and said, "The situation at that time was indeed just this idea, but things can change at any time. ”

Then, Ying Zheng told him and Li Si about his and Li Si's views and plans for the Queen Mother and Chang Yu, and gave a general idea of the meeting with Cao Yi and Chen Li.

Sima Jie frowned slightly, and said: "In this way, the matter of Yongcheng is not a trivial matter. ”

"That's why those two bachelors just entered the Hou Mansion and wanted to find out more news but haven't returned yet." Ying Zheng said.

"No wonder, Cao Yi wrote to me before that he would live in Yongcheng for a few more days." Sima Jie said.

"They also noticed Chang Yu's vision, so they decided to do it temporarily." "From this point of view, these two men are both strategic and courageous. ”

"Among them, Cao Yi, it is said that after being a disciple of Guiguzi, he knows how to create his own formations with soldiers." Ying Zheng added.

"After he is a disciple of Guiguzi, Weichen knows it." Sima Jie said, "However, whether he will create his own formation is uncertain. ”

"That's why the widow came to you." Ying Zheng said, "Jing Yao is busy forging 'my weapon' over there, if it is forged, someone really needs to create a formation for it." ”

"What does the king mean by summoning Cao Yi back to Xianyang?" Sima Jie asked.

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, the widow has this intention, and it is most appropriate for you to handle this matter." ”

"...... over there in Yongcheng," Sima Jie hesitated slightly.

"Over there in Yongcheng, just change someone to keep an eye on it." Li Si said with a smile, "Besides, even if no one is spying in Yongcheng, it's not a big problem." ”

Sima Jie looked at Ying Zheng and saw that Ying Zheng nodded, so he said with confidence: "Then Wei Chen will repair a book and let the two of them return to Xianyang immediately." ”

"Wait." Ying Zheng said urgently, "Only one person can recall Cao Yi, let Chen Li stay there, and let the person who replaces him."

Don't get busy, and don't let them show their flaws. ”

"Good!" Sima Jie responded briskly, then sat down at the desk and began to write a letter to Cao Yi.

At this time, Zhao Gao walked in from outside the door with a person.

It was Sima Jie's father, Sima Hong.

Sima Hong seemed to have known that Yingzheng was here and specially came here, only to see him enter the door and salute: "Weichen heard that the king came here, and he came here to inquire about the minerals. ”

It's no wonder that Sima Hong is anxious, since he came back from Yongcheng, there has been no news from Yingzheng's side.

Ying Zheng said apologetically: "The widow originally wanted to recruit enough people who knew how to dig graves to dig the mine. I don't want to make Master Sima anxious. ”

"I see." Sima Hong said, "It seems that the king has already planned. ”

Li Si said: "The king's idea is to make sufficient preparations, and then let Meng Yi take this team to directly temper it, so that it can be used to build the royal tomb in the future." ”

"It turns out that the king has another deep meaning." Sima Hong suddenly said brightly.

Compared with the construction of royal tombs, the importance of mining minerals is still slightly worse, not to mention, mining minerals is also for better construction of royal tombs.

But at this moment, after Zhao Gaotong said a word, he brought in another person, who was the head of Lu Xiangfu, Lu Wen.

Lu Wen bowed his hand and said, "I have seen the king below." ”

Ying Zheng had a good impression of Lu Wen, and said with a smile: "How did you find here, is there something on the middle father's side?" ”

"Back to the king, Xiangbang has already selected the first batch of gravediggers, a total of six people, because Xiangbang has some temporary things to deal with, so he is ordered to come down to hand over."

"The middle father is still so quick in his work." After that, Ying Zheng whispered a few words in Zhao Gao's ear.

Zhao Gao answered, then turned around and went out.

Ying Zheng ordered Lu Wen to bring in the gravediggers.

I saw that these people were all dressed as farmers, and their appearance was also unremarkable, and each of them was holding a tool in their hands, but if you looked closely, it was slightly different from the usual farm tools.

Ying Zheng greeted politely, and then gave Li Si a look.

Li Si understood and stepped forward to interrogate everyone's past and strengths.

It's not that Ying Zheng is trusting, but he really doesn't know what to ask, especially in front of Lu Wen.

After a while, Zhao Gao brought back two people, who were Meng Yi and Tian Yi.

Li Si stepped forward and pulled Meng Yi and said, "Everyone, this is the young general of the Meng family, Meng Yi." ”

How could everyone not know the prestige of the Meng family, and said in unison: "Long admiration, long admiration." ”

"The prestige of the young general, we have heard of it for a long time."

"It is really a blessing to have a young general to lead us."

"We are willing to follow the king and the young general to the death."

Meng Yi was praised by others, and said happily in his heart: "I am grateful for the king's wrong love, and I will hand over the vital task of digging the tomb to you, and I hope you will mention it more in the future and take care of each other." ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Ying Zheng glanced at Meng Yi, how could this sound a little awkward, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Then, Tian Yi also introduced himself.

Li Si added: "This is the deputy head of the Jing family's class, and it is also the head of our class to touch the golden shadow, and in the future, the Tian class master will lead you to explore the tomb." ”

What?

Touching the Golden Shadows?

What is this? It doesn't sound very tasty.

Ying Zheng saw everyone's doubts, so he said: "This golden shadow is the name given by the widow, and in the future, you will all work for the royal family, so you can't let people call you tomb robbers." ”

Everyone smirked and nodded.

It seems that there are big trees that are good for the shade, and even the name of the thief is so good!

Lu Wen arranged things properly and said goodbye and returned to the prime minister's mansion to hand over the business.

Tian Yi took the team back to Jingyao, planned to repair it, and followed Sima Hong and Meng Yi to Qishan to dig the grave.
