However, Lü Buwei's methods could not hurt Yao Xing at all. The only person who will really be sad, painful, and angry about this matter is Zhao Zheng.

However, Zhao Zheng has been busy with disaster relief, and he has no time to hear about this kind of gossip, and he doesn't know that Zhao Ji is going to choose a queen for him.

Countries have long coveted red bricks and cement, but they don't have a recipe and don't know how to make it, so they can only watch it and watch it. Now that Zhao Zheng is willing to let them get the red bricks and cement, maybe they can find people and find out how these two objects are made.

They all sent letters of state to bargain, wanting to take advantage of the lack of food in Qin to increase the quantity of red bricks and cement.

Lü Buwei is particularly good at negotiation, and his status is high enough. Even if Zhao Zheng was angry with Lü Buwei, he was not as important as the Qin State and the people, so he handed over the negotiation work with the envoys of other countries to Lü Buwei.

After a series of bargaining, each country was given red bricks and cement, but the amount was accurately calculated by Lü Buwei. For example, in the Zhao Kingdom, if the red bricks and cement they were allocated were used to strengthen the city walls, only one city could be used at will, and the second city would not be enough even if it was small.

A city defense that can only strengthen one city is of little use to a country with no less than a few dozen cities. And Yaoxing also promised that even if they knocked the cement and red bricks into powder, they would not be able to check the production process.

In addition to the negotiations, Zhao Guo also proposed that Qin and Zhao protons return to each other, and Lü Buwei did not allow it, and returned Zhao Guo's proton Chunpingjun to Zhao State safely, and borrowed Qin protons to go home.

The people of Qin were frugal, relying on these grains to survive this disaster, and not many people starved to death. And the epidemic prevention has been done well, and there is no large-scale spread of the plague. For this kind of panic that is connected together, there have never been such few casualties, and it is also a great achievement recorded in the annals of the Qin State.

Zhao Liao was meritorious to the country and was named the Marquis of Anyang, only with a knighthood, enjoying a fortune, and not entering the court. This is Lu Buwei's insistence, it is necessary to block Zhao Liao from the court, Yaoxing feels a little regretful, but Zhao Liao is very happy. After all, he has a low background, and even if he has ambitions, he has never dreamed too high, and now he is very happy.

This time, Zhao Zheng did a good job of disaster relief, and the people of Qin praised this king from the bottom of their hearts, believing that Zhao Zheng could protect them and lead them to a good life. The Qin State was already warlike, and after this incident, hundreds of people wanted to join the army to expand the territory of Great Qin.

At the beginning of the second year, that is, the fifth year of Qin Wangzheng's accession to the throne, Meng Wei led his troops to attack Wei. Twenty cities such as sour jujube, Yan, Xu, Changping, Yongqiu, and Shanyang were gathered, and the eastern county was established. Since then, the land of Qin has bordered the state of Qi in the east year, which frightened the royal family of Qi.

Lü Buwei set up an alliance in Yanggu, Shandong, that is, the place bordering the state of Qi, and held talks with Zhao Xiang and Wei Xiang.

The first thing Zhao Ji did when she came back from the palace was to set up a banquet to celebrate the victory of Daqin, and she also brought a woman with her, a young woman who looked at Zhao Zheng shyly and timidly.

Now that Zhao Zheng is eighteen years old and can get married, it is normal for Zhao Ji to be busy, Yao Xing didn't want to see that scene, so he said that he was unwell and did not go to the banquet.

Early the next morning, Yao Xing saw the waiters looking at him and dodged, so he knew that something was wrong.

"What's wrong, what happened yesterday?" Yao Xing casually stopped a waiter who didn't dare to look up and asked.
