Chapter 158: The Way to Raise Greed
Perhaps happy because of the arrival of Sima Hong and others, or happy because they found alloy materials, the Ying Zheng ordered the sergeants to let go of their drinks.
However, early the next morning, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Yingzheng and Li Si set off early and went to the cave to meet Jairus.
There was still snoring in the barracks, and even the sentry posts were sleepy-eyed.
Seeing that Ying Zheng went out to run errands so early, the two sergeants who were on guard guard immediately cheered up and cast reverent glances at Ying Zheng.
After all, it is certainly understandable to get up early once in a day and deal with some urgent matters, but if you do this every day, you have to be admired.
Because he is the King of Qin, the King of Qin who could have enjoyed himself leisurely, and the King of Qin who had nothing to do.
After crossing the forbidden area, Ying Zheng and Li Si came to the cave, and Jairview and Xi had not yet arrived.
"Sir, do you say that the two seniors will suspend or even terminate the project because of the alloy matter?" Ying Zheng asked with a worried face.
"Probably not." "The alloy has nothing to do with them, and they don't pay much attention to it. Otherwise, they will tell us about the Yellow Emperor's burial of alloys back then. β
Indeed, Jairus didn't mention this matter before, definitely not because he wanted to hide anything, but because he felt that there was no need.
Ying Zheng felt that his worries were a little redundant, so he stopped dwelling on them and thought about how the conversation with Jairus should go.
After a while, the figures of Jairus and Xi appeared at the entrance at the other end of the cave.
Ying Zheng and Li Si stepped forward quickly, bowed down and said, "The two seniors are early. β
Jairus nodded at Yingzheng and said, "Say, how did it go yesterday?" β
Ying Zheng cleared his throat and told him everything he encountered yesterday.
After listening to Ying Zheng's account in full, Jairus spoke: "Yes, the metals left by the Yellow Emperor when he destroyed the divine soldiers in Lishan were not taken away, but buried underground. β
"Do you know what the amount of metals buried by the predecessors of the Yellow Emperor at that time was?" Ying Zheng asked.
"I don't know this." Jairus said.
Even if you know, you probably can't describe it, because in the concept of dragons, there are basically no number of units.
Li Si arched his hand on the side and asked, "Do you know how many soldiers the predecessors of the Yellow Emperor equipped with the divine weapon 'My Weapon' at that time?" β
Or is there a level of Li Si who asked.
Jianwei pondered for a while, as if he was flipping through his memory: "The specific number of people later, the deity does not know, but the deity remembers that the Yellow Emperor once said that he only used 3,000 soldiers to defeat Chiyou with divine soldiers." β
Three thousand?
Say too much, say too little.
The three thousand strong men holding "my weapon" were definitely an invincible force in the era of the sparsely populated Yellow Emperor.
It's no wonder that after defeating Chiyou, the other tribes surrendered without a fight.
And these 3,000 "I tools", presumably, but from the perspective of the collection of raw materials, it is by no means easy.
Not much, this number is too small for the current Yingzheng.
Which country can 3,000 soldiers fight, I'm afraid that if you say it, you will be laughed off.
Even in a casual battle, 3,000 people cannot play a very crucial role, unless they are strategized and won by surprise.
However, the alloy smelted by these 3,000 "self-instruments" is very appropriate in terms of quantity.
Too much, too much trouble, and a delay in time.
If it's too little, then the mining is not worth it.
"Senpai." Ying Zheng arched his hand and said, "This large piece of alloy is blocking the excavation route, and the widow wants to mine it, can it?" β
"As long as it doesn't damage the structure of the mountain and doesn't damage the eye of fire, you can do anything." Jianwei said a little lazily, "Besides, those materials were originally handed down by the Yellow Emperor and left to you, and they have nothing to do with the deity. β
With Jianwei's words, Yingzheng's heart was completely put into his stomach.
"In that case, the juniors know what to do." Ying Zheng said politely, "The younger generation retired." β
After bowing, Ying Zheng and Li Si exited the cave together.
"Sir, with the volume of these 3,000 'my weapons', I don't know how difficult it is to mine?" Ying Zheng asked urgently.
"If it's really only three thousand, as long as the quenching solution is enough, it won't be too difficult." Lees replied.
"Then how much does this quenching solution need?" Ying Zheng then asked.
Li Si sighed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember the black fire oil?" β
When imitating Yangu lacquer, Li Si mentioned black fire oil to Yingzheng, which included the materials necessary to make Yangu lacquer, and later the Listos people bought some, which made Yangu lacquer.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Of course I remember, could it be that this quenching solution is related to the black fire oil?" β
"Not bad." Li Si said, "In fact, this black fire oil can be refined into many kinds of raw materials. Last time, Weichen used two of them to make Yangu lacquer, and the rest happened to be the raw materials for making the quenching solution, so he made the solution for quenching. β
"So in other words, in order to make a solution that is sufficient to quench this large piece of alloy, you must have enough black fire oil?" Ying Zheng asked.
Li Si bowed slightly: "Exactly." β
"However, the widow asked the middle father before." Ying Zheng said, "He said that the laws of Great Qin strictly prohibit the exploitation of black oil, so the temple does not have a reserve of black oil, and it is impossible to find out where the black oil is mined. β
"This exploitation of black fire oil is a long-term solution, I guess let Meng Yi explore it slowly, and he will always find it." Li Si said, "And if we solve the urgent needs of the moment, why don't we see where to buy them like last time." β
This sentence reminded Ying Zheng.
"The widow heard Hu Yu say that Zhao Guo seems to have a lot of black fire oil in stock, and there must be no such prohibition there." Ying Zheng said.
"Is the king sure that he can buy black fire oil in the hands of King Zhao?" Lees asked.
Ying Zheng sighed lightly and shook his head, and said, "Although it is the widow's father-in-law, it also depends on whether our chips are big or not." β
My Healing Game
"It depends on how many means there are." Lees added.
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
Back in Daying, Ying Zheng announced the decision to mine the alloy, and also proposed that black fire oil was needed to make a quenching solution.
Almost everyone agreed, but they also made a mistake.
Where can I get this black oil?
Ying Zheng stood up and said solemnly: "Now that the situation has changed, adjustments should be made accordingly, and the ministers will obey the order!" β
"The minister is here." All the people also stood up and answered in unison.
"Lord Sima." Ying Zheng looked at Sima Hong and said, "You still follow last night's plan, and set off today to check the cultivation of the original grain seeds." β
"Wechen takes orders." Sima Hong arched his hand.
"Meng Yi." Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi again and said, "In addition to your gold touching class, you will lead 10,000 Mengjia troops to disperse around Lishan to explore the distribution of black fire oil and minerals. As for the range, it can be expanded to Huashan and Hexi. β
"Wechen takes orders." Meng Yi arched his hand and said.
"Meng Tian." Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Meng Tian.
"The minister is here." Meng Tian replied.
"You're going to stay in Lishan." Ying Zheng said, "As usual, the forbidden area will be strictly guarded, and then the remaining soldiers will be taken to the foot of the mountain for normal drills, and the opening of the mountain here will be suspended for half a month." β
Meng Tian was slightly surprised, but still arched his hand and said, "Weichen takes the order." β
The reason why the work was stopped was because Ying Zheng and Li Si had to leave here, and no one went to Jianxi to report the situation, and they couldn't continue digging without solving the large piece of alloy.
"Sir." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said, "You and the widow go back to Xianyang, and then take all the Jing family."
All the belongings of the class were transported to Lishan, and the matter of collecting black fire oil was handed over to the widow. β
"Wechen takes orders." Like the others, Li Si replied quite seriously.
"Your Majesty." Only Jing Fan was not mentioned in the audience, and he couldn't help but say urgently, "If the work is stopped here, then Weichen ......"
"You accompany Lord Tingwei, after moving all the things you have there, and then temper the alloy little by little, if it really works, then immediately forge 'my weapon', don't forget, we still have a bet with Wei Yu." Ying Zheng looked at Jing Fan and said.
"Wechen takes orders." Jing Fan arched his hand.
Ying Zheng looked around at everyone and asked, "Do you have any questions?" β
Everyone looked at each other, as if they were all thinking about the problems they might encounter.
At this time, Meng Yi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if you find out where the black fire oil is, then whether the dark iron snail can come in handy, and how to dig it later, our soldiers have little experience." β
This question seemed to be answered only by Li Si, and Ying Zheng looked at Li Si.
Li Si said: "The dark iron snail can not detect the specific location of the black fire oil, as for how to dig the black fire oil...... I know a way to go down and tell you back. β
"That's a little more Lord Tingwei." Meng Yi arched his hand.
"Major General Meng is polite." Lees responded.
Ying Zheng looked at everyone again and asked, "Do you have any objections?" β
Everyone shook their heads, and they all said that they had no more objections.
"Okay, each of them will go back and prepare, and tomorrow they will do their jobs." Ying Zhengli said.
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
Early the next morning, Ying Zheng, Li Si, and Jing Fan brought some people from the Jing family class, as well as 2,000 Praetorian Guards, to rush back to Xianyang.
In the evening, I finally returned to Jingyao.
Ying Zheng left the people of the Jing family class to pack up their things in Jingyao, and returned to the palace first.
Of course, missing a few wives in the palace is one thing, and more importantly, Yingzheng has something to discuss with Hu Yu.
When the five ladies saw that Yingzheng was back, they were still enthusiastic, and they were busy preparing a dinner for Yingzheng.
At the banquet, Ying Zheng added fuel to what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and all the ladies were amazed.
"Did the king say that when he was digging the grave below, he encountered a big iron lump?" Wen Xuan asked with a wink.
"What an iron lump, that's called an alloy." Hu Yu corrected.
"That thing is blocking its way, and it can't be broken?" Lan Ting said.
"In this case, when the king comes back this time, won't he leave for a while?" Minruo asked.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's legs were a little weak.
Nansu covered her mouth and smiled beside her, not expressing any opinion.
For the questions of several ladies, Ying Zheng answered patiently for a while.
After dinner, Ying Zheng pulled Hu Yu into the inner room of the study.
The other ladies looked at each other, not knowing why.
"Your Majesty, what is the matter with finding a concubine?" Hu Yu asked.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "You also heard just now, you need black fire oil to quench that alloy, the widow remembers that you said before that Zhao Guo seems to have black fire oil, can you tell your father and sell some to the widow, how about it?" β
"It's okay to talk about it." Hu Yu thought for a while and said, "But whether the father sells it or not, the concubine can't be the master." β
"It's not that there are no other benefits at all." Ying Zheng was still smiling, "Didn't you mention it before, you want to let King Zhao learn to make a mausoleum, and you have to bring the way of Wei Yu to train the new army to Zhao State, and now you can do it together." β
"Really?" Hu Yu's eyes widened and he asked.
"Of course it's true." Ying Zheng became serious, "The widow is a man of his word, when did he lie to you." β
Speaking of Jiuding, Ying Zheng suddenly remembered a person.
LΓΌ Buwei.
He seems to be quite open in Zhao Guo.
