Chapter 398: Don't Tempt Me, I Didn't Kill Him
The convoy has arrived in front of Yiyang City.
The First Emperor lifted the curtain, looked displeased, and first glanced at this rich city in Korea, and heard the abnormality in an instant.
Inside the wide open city gate, laughter and laughter poured out, which was something that had not happened in all the cities that the First Emperor had walked through - the people of Yiyang were particularly happy.
The First Emperor's face did not improve in the slightest because of the joy that overflowed the city gates, and he did not believe that the people were overjoyed by his arrival.
The fact that these people in Korea are not hostile to them is already the result of their brother's dedicated governance.
The people who want these people who say that they are Qin people but actually Koreans worship them, and they admire them even more than those old Qin people in Guanzhong. It is almost impossible to explain the unity of the five countries with only one mouth, and Zhang Yi of Lian Heng only brought one mouth to various countries.
If it is not because of him from outside, it is because of internal factors.
The scientist walked up to the First Emperor, who was wearing a black robe with an ink character on his right chest, which was the official uniform of the Inner Palace.
"Your Majesty."
He bowed his head and bowed very respectfully.
The First Emperor did not speak, but looked at the scientist coldly.
He didn't speak, and the scientist could only maintain this position, unable to move.
In the convoy, whether it is the Lang officer who forms the most central defensive circle; or a veteran of a hundred battles holding a flag in the outer circle; There are also Qin soldiers who hold gongs and drums and other kinds of reliance, carefully selected from the major armies.
While taking photos of the first emperor's atmosphere, he was naturally calm and calm, and he was worried about the scientists from the bottom of his heart.
The scientist was originally an official of the Qin State, and after following Ying Chengcheng to become a giant of the Mo family, he did not lose his official position, and he is still a very prestigious member of the Shaofu in charge of the production of ordnance in the Qin State.
This master craftsman is not his general, but in the eyes of the most arrogant military cultivated under the martial arts atmosphere specially cultivated by the Qin State in the past hundred years, Qin Mo's master craftsman is not much different in respect compared with the general.
Qin Mo had a high status in the military of the Qin State.
As the saying goes, if the public wants to do its own thing, it must first sharpen its weapons, and the victory of a war is closely related to weapons.
The Qin sword can be cast to three feet and the sharpness is still the same, and the sword body is not brittle and bent continuously, this is Qin Mo's credit.
On the battlefield, in the face of the country, the two-foot long sword generally occupies a one-foot advantage, and often the enemy's sword has not yet touched the Qin army, and the Qin sword has already cut the enemy's head.
Whether the Qin army can win or not, providing ordnance support for the Qin army, and constantly updating and iterating, Qin Mo has at least three successful labors.
And victory will have military merits, and if there are military merits, you can be promoted to the rank of knight.
Qin Mo is an important help for the Qin army to become an official and become a knight. No matter how arrogant the general is, he is also kind and caring to a master of Qin Mo, and he intends to put three points in his figure.
No Qin soldier wanted an accident with a Qin Mo master.
Ying Chengcheng sat like a mountain in the carriage, did not come forward to solve the siege, this hurdle must be crossed by the scientist himself, he will only come forward when the first emperor is angry and wants to slaughter Yiyang Mancheng.
If the scientist could not get the approval of the First Emperor, he would have to take back Yiyang.
At least this is much better than the result of the Qin army pressing the border and repeating the killings done in Zhao Di in the previous three months in Yiyang.
Ying Zheng didn't wait for the right color or gag behind him to solve the siege, and understood what his brother meant.
This trip to Yiyang is not a process, and Ying Chengcheng is not reporting to him to protect this city of the Mo family. Instead, he really wanted him to experience the Mo family and decide the fate of this Mojia county that had never appeared.
Mohists, like Taoism, have never really been used to govern the country.
But the difference between the two is that.
Taoism does not govern the country because the monarchs of the kingdom believe that Taoism is useless.
The Mo family does not govern the country, but the Mo family has not found an ideal monarch that conforms to the Mo family's thoughts.
"Get up.
"You can let that shaft get entangled so far, you are also very capable, and you will lead the way."
Officer Lang, a veteran of a hundred battles, and the honor guards were all relieved.
Although the praise of the First Emperor is a bit yin and yang, at least the life of the master is worry-free.
The first emperor got off the carriage of the king of horses alone, and led a Shilang official with Zhang Han. Under the guidance of scientists, he entered Yiyang, the city of Mohists.
Ying Cheng was in the carriage of the king of horses, quietly waiting for the result.
After entering Yiyang, Yingzheng found more differences.
Everyone I saw along the way was in awe.
This kind of gaze, the last time Yingzheng saw it was Wang Qian, the Marquis of Wucheng, who led his troops to attack Chu, and the Qin soldiers below looked at Wang Jian like this.
Although the focus of his eyes seemed to be looking at Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng knew very well that Yiyang Qianshou was looking at the scientists who were one step ahead of him.
Ying Zheng didn't say anything, he walked around, looking around, and took in everything.
That pair of eagle eyes were shining, very oppressive, and where they saw, the people unconsciously lowered their heads.
"When the minister was first appointed as the county commander, the population of the city was less than 50,000, and now it has reached 210,000."
Scientists are reporting data.
During the Qin Dynasty, if the population of a county exceeded 100,000, it was an absolute large county. Most of them are the first county of a county, also called the county governance, that is, the county that handles government affairs.
When the county was established, there was only one county in Korea, which was Xinzheng.
The first county of Xinzheng County is Xinzheng County, where the county Shouqiang is the director.
During this trip to Korea, Yingzheng also went to Xinzheng County, and the county Shouqiang reported that the total population of Xinzheng was 110,000.
"Two hundred and one thousand.
"In three months, the population has increased from 50,000 to 210,000, more than quadrupled, and 100,000 more than Xinzheng, how did you do it?"
Within a county, the population of a county exceeds that of a county, although it is not much, but it is not so small, which is not unusual.
But that's slightly exceeding, like Yiyang, more than 100,000 in Xinzheng, nearly twice the number, which is outrageous, not to mention that it was brought up from 50,000.
All the counties visited by the First Emperor before, except for Xinzheng, have a population of about 70,000 or 80,000, and none of them exceed 100,000.
In the Qin Dynasty, which was not technologically advanced, people were labor, and the more people in a city, the greater the development potential.
"There are few rich people in the land of Guyin, and there are many poor people."
The scientist's voice was flat.
"What do you mean by that?"
The First Emperor did not know why.
He asked how the population was raised and what it had to do with the rich and the poor.
"There is a decree that the people who enter Yiyang have a meal to eat and a place to stay. The minister has never been concerned about the population, but the population of Yiyang is increasing day by day. β
The First Emperor enlightened the way:
"I see, all the poor people from all over the country have entered Yiyang, and I said why don't there be beggars in the counties, and none of the people except Xinzheng have more than 100,000."
The scientist's voice remained flat.
"No, the poor people who entered Yiyang are a minority, and most of them died in the wild. His Majesty's convoy can move unhindered in Korea, and it can cross several counties in a day, but the poor people who can't eat can't. The distance between the two counties can be passed by His Majesty's convoy in half a day, but they can't reach it until they die. β
The extremely smooth narration is like a glass of boiled water, but it makes the first emperor's heart like boiling water!
"Zhang Han, it's really so!"
He asked, whirling his head.
On this journey, in addition to reaching the destination, he was in the carriage of the king of horses, and he could not see the lush grass and trees on the side of the road, as well as the new bones in the grass and trees.
This question is a little unreasonable, Zhang Han is not a poor person who has left the county, how can he know.
But Zhang Han, as a confidant of the First Emperor, understood what the First Emperor was asking.
Shen Dao:
"It is not uncommon for subordinates to see corpses and bones, and thousands of miles can be seen."
Ying Zheng's extremely compelling gaze plummeted.
The convoy traveled on horse-drawn carriage roads, and most of the poor people who could not afford to eat took the trails that could not be said to be roadable.
There are thousands of corpses on both sides of a large road, and how many corpses will there be on those paths densely packed with grass and sand.
The heart of the First Emperor was very heavy, and the joy of the new concept of governing the country was less than half of the joy he received from his trip to Korea.
The main reason for his tour this time was suppression, but the second reason was that he did not see the real world firsthand and was not blindfolded by those officials in the court.
He didn't expect that what he could see was still the glorious side of the world.
Looking at the eyes of the scientists who were full of light and adoring, the First Emperor knew whyβthe grace of saving his life.
He was silent for a moment, and then said:
"Does Cheng Chan know about this?"
"I don't know." The scientist stopped and said, "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and you are the Monarch's Father." We are all your sons, your people, and your ministers, not the kings of Chang'an. Chang Anjun once said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I think that with great power comes great responsibility. β
"I know."
"The minister continues to lead the way for His Majesty."
The scientist stepped forward, and the First Emperor followed.
Ying Zheng has seen that the Mo family performs their duties and eats corn together.
He saw that both farmers and craftsmen were wearing coarse linen clothes - he could only roughly judge what he was doing by what the people of Yiyang did, not by his clothes.
He saw everyone talking and laughing, everyone greeting the scientist warmly, and everyone calling the scientist a giant.
And from the oral accounts of scientists, it is also known that everyone in this Yiyang city is an ink person.
He is also well-read, has read the Mo family classics, and deeply understands what kind of group the Mo family is, and understands why his brother is so entangled.
He followed the scientist to the county magistrate's mansion, which was no different from the house next to it, and looked extremely ordinary and shabby.
Glancing at the environment in the house, he said with a hint of apology:
"You're doing well, but this city can't exist."
The scientist smiled unsurprisingly and said in a big way:
"Is it because I'm better than Your Majesty?"
Zhang Han was furious, holding the Qin sword in his hand!
"An dare to be rude to His Majesty!"
Except for Ying Cheng, no one can be so rude, there is no second Chang'an Jun in this world.
"Not bad."
The voice of the First Emperor made Zhang Han's murderous intent suddenly dissipate most of it, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword also lost its strength, and his heart was full of consternation.
[How can Your Majesty say that?] ]
The First Emperor, who was never afraid to admit his shortcomings and admit his mistakes, said in a deep voice:
"They only have you in their eyes, not me.
"They are no longer my sons, my people, my subjects.
"There are only two ways in Yiyang, either I send a large army to slaughter the city, or we will be sent to other cities and counties."
The scientist was not afraid, and his face flashed fiercely.
"Your Majesty doesn't know any other way than to kill? If the minister treats His Majesty with His Majesty's law, His Majesty thinks that he can get out of Yiyang City? β
The First Emperor put his left hand into his arms, pulled out his gun, and pointed it at the scientist's head.
"You're going to die, I'm not."
It was not only Lang Guan on the surface who protected him, and Zhang Han, who was extremely martial arts, but also the shadow secret guard who secretly followed him into Yiyang.
The scientist smiled coldly and reached into his arms as well.
Under the frowning brow of the First Emperor, he slowly pulled out a pistol as well.
Syllable~
The moment the dark black handle was revealed, Zhang Han's pupils shrank sharply.
In an instant, the toes were focused, and the stone chips flew at the landing point, stepping out of a small stone pit! The figure was as fast as the wind, and the slasher snatched most of the pistols that were still in the scientist's clothes.
The whole process was extremely smooth, and the scientists did not resist at all, as if they had not yet reacted.
With the pistol in hand, Zhang Han was mostly vigilant, and looked at the scientist suspiciously.
It went so well.
At such a close distance, he could feel the internal force in the scientist's body, although it was far less than him, but it shouldn't be impossible to even make a move.
"I'm not good at fighting."
Scientist said.
Zhang Han: ......
While keeping his eyes on the scientist, he handed the pistol to the First Emperor. This kind of mass killing weapon is the only one he has seen in his life, and if the scientist successfully pulls it out and points it at the muzzle, he has little confidence that he will be able to dodge it.
The First Emperor frowned and took the second pistol, feeling lighter than the original one in his hand. When I pushed the magazine, there were no bullets.
He furrowed his brow and looked up at the scientist.
"What do you mean?"
"I want to tell Your Majesty that the minister said that he wanted to keep His Majesty, not without a purpose."
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 Mo family. This thing has no opponent in its own fight, but it doesn't have much effect under the siege of everyone.
"Lang Zhongling's martial arts are unmatched, but my Mo family ranger can still find one or two rivals. The dozens of guards who secretly followed His Majesty didn't know how they compared to the Secret Guard, if they weren't ten times more than the Secret Guard, they wouldn't be able to save Your Majesty.
"It is arrogant for the minister to say this in other places, but in Yiyang, where the world is full of ink writers, the minister said that His Majesty can't leave, and His Majesty can't leave."
At the gate of Yiyang City, inside the carriage of the king of horses.
Ying Cheng, who threw out the problem, fell asleep, chatting with Zhao Gongming yesterday and didn't sleep in the middle of the night, he lacked sleep.
"Shaft! Good work you do! β
Awakened by an angry shout in his sleep, Ying Cheng rubbed his eyes.
The First Emperor stood in front of him, with an angry face, and slapped the pistol he had given him at his side.
Ying Cheng was furious.
"How dare a scientist use a gun on the royal brother? It's so unbelievable!
"Brother Huang is angry, I have redressed his county order and asked the people of Yiyang to go to other counties."
Scratching his head, Ying Cheng said tentatively:
"Dealing with it like this, is the imperial brother still satisfied? Where are the scientists now? β
The First Emperor sneered.
"You slept soundly.
"There's no need to tempt me, I didn't kill him."
Ying Chengcheng breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that he didn't die.
If he knew that the scientist dared to shoot the First Emperor, he would definitely be lying in the carriage to make up for sleep with Yiyang.
