Ultimately.

Tian Dan still compromised.

Although he was a little reluctant, he was also worried that what Zhang Liang said would really happen.

He said in a deep voice: "Okay, my Tian clan can use copper ore to forge weapons as you said, but what you said before, I Tian Dan might as well tell you directly, my Tian clan will not take the lead, if there is movement in other people or places, my Tian clan will follow." ”

Zhang Liang nodded.

He smiled and said, "Yes." ”

"I'm waiting for the nobles of the six countries to work together, why worry about big things?"

"This is my last chance."

Zhang Liang's eyes were resolute.

Tian Dan didn't echo it again, his eyes shrank, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Not much.

The Tian brothers walked out.

Tian Rong looked at Tian Dan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why did my brother suddenly agree?" How did the other five places care about my Tian clan in the past? Now he wants my Tian clan to sacrifice his own interests to fulfill them. ”

"Isn't that wrong?"

Tian Dan waved his hand and said slowly: "Don't say this." ”

"Although the other five places in the past did not treat my Tian clan very much, but in the current situation, we and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms are already on a vine, if it is really as Zhang Liang said, the ultimate goal of the Qin Court is to exterminate the nobles of the Six Kingdoms such as us, and under the nest, how can there be eggs?"

"But I won't completely listen to Zhang Liang."

"It's just to take the ore of one or two copper mines and use them to forge weapons, as for other copper mines, they are used to forge coins.

"And"

"My Tian family was able to make a fortune back then, relying on the profits of big buckets and small buckets."

"As long as my Tian clan has enough wealth, then I have my own way to win the hearts of the people of Qidi, and at that time, with the abundance of my Qidi, I may not be able to pull up an army of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and at that time, the rest of the nobles must wait for me to take the lead."

"Grasp with both hands, and be hard with both hands."

"If you want to make a difference in this world, you don't just rely on the friendship of the past, nor on your blood, but on your strength, only when you are strong can you make the rest of the nobles bow to us."

"So."

"This coin must be minted."

"And the more you have to cast, the better."

"But this weapon also has to be forged, and the more the better, when the time comes, use these coins to win people's hearts, to form our Tian clan's army, and then use these weapons to arm, my Tian clan will return to the ranks of the princes of the world, it is just around the corner, and the rest of the nobles are destined to only rely on us to breathe, they don't have so many coins in their hands, this time under the Qin order, the loss will be great."

"If you don't have money, how can you recruit troops?"

"Strength is lost again and again."

"The favorable conditions of my Tian clan are incomparable to other nobles."

"This is also destined for my Tian clan to shine, and it is also destined for my Tian clan to soar into the sky."

Hear the words.

Tian Rong was thoughtful.

His brother agreed, not to Zhang Liang, but to have other plans.

It's just an excuse to appease Zhang Liang.

The coins and weapons forged by his Tian clan will only be used on themselves to strengthen their own strength, as for the other nobles, they are not considered at all, as long as their own strength is strong, even if the rest of the nobles are dissatisfied, what can they do?

Don't you have to bow your head and please?

This is determined by the difference in strength between the two sides.

And he Tian is destined to become an existence that attracts the attention of thousands of people.

A smile appeared on the corner of Tian Rong's mouth.

He bowed his head and said, "Brother is really thoughtful. ”

"Brother admires."

"It's just that if we do this, will it be known to other nobles, and then these nobles will secretly make stumbling blocks?"

He was still a little worried.

Tian Dan looked disdainful and said coldly: "What if you know?" Don't they have a mind of their own? ”

"And this is in Qidi, it is my Tian clan's territory, although my Tian clan is in decline, but my family can still make up a few hundred young people, and even grit their teeth a little, and they can also pull up a team of 1,000 people, do they really dare to come to us for trouble?"

"Don't take the other nobles too seriously."

"There are some things that God knows, you know and I know, and others know too."

"Everyone just tacitly acknowledged."

"For example, the Xiang clan had clearly expected Qin Ting's follow-up movements, but how did they do it? Can you send a message to the Song, Tang and other Chu nobles? No, but he ran away with his clansmen, which greatly damaged the strength of the Song, Tang and other clans, and they have taken the opportunity in recent years to annex other large and small nobles in Chu, and their strength is improving day by day. ”

"Now in Chudi, the Xiang family is even more above the Song and Tang Dynasties."

"What about Song Yi and the others?"

"Except for scolding a few words in private that Xiang is not a person, how dare you do it? It's not like I can only swallow this sullen breath,"

"In the final analysis, we nobles have our own thoughts, if it weren't for the hatred of the country and the family, let me and others have to stand together, who would rarely be in the company of other nobles?"

"But if we become stronger."

"Enough to restore the old country."

"Aren't these people dispensable?"

Tian Dan looked very sober.

Although they are regarded as one by the Qin court, in fact, they are not one at all, they have always hidden all kinds of calculations and targets against each other, they are all mercenary, and they are only for the improvement of their own family's strength.

Tian Rong nodded and said, "The little brother has been taught." ”

Tian Dan said: "Okay, Zhang Liang's side is almost done, he shouldn't stay on our side for too long, and he will leave for Chu in a few days to persuade the Xiang family and other Chu nobles, and he will accept this." ”

"Let's focus on the present."

"Go and find out the situation of this Qin Order."

"If it's true, my Tian clan should also act as soon as possible."

Tian Rong nodded hurriedly.

Inside the house.

Zhang Liang sighed lightly.

What Tian Dan was thinking in his heart, how could he not guess.

But I don't really care much about it.

Just like convincing Wei Qi and Zang Di at the beginning, as long as they can nod their heads and act together, this is enough, as long as all places respond, the situation in the world will also change, and at that time, many things in the world will not be able to help them.

It's just that in the end, it was as Qin Ting's wish.

Completely advanced Qin Banliang to the entire Kanto.

is still with the attitude of some people taking the initiative to welcome it, which can't help but make Zhang Liang sigh.

Zhang Liang said: "If the three places of Qi, Yan and Wei have all responded, the six places in the eastern part of the country, Zhao Han, because they rely too much on Qin, are not very suitable, only the follow-up will follow, and now only Chu is left." ”

"After the last Jiangdong disaster, Chudi has gradually developed instability internally."

"The Xiang family is dominant."

"The Song, Tang and other clans are not convinced."

"There are constant conflicts in private, and it may take some time to convince the nobles of Chudi."

"However, the next focus of the Qin court will be on coinage and cleaning up the local officials, and it is a good opportunity to take care of the nobles and scholars for the time being."

Zhang Liang whispered a few times, and he already had a plan in his heart.

He drank the tea in front of him and went back to his room to pack his luggage.

He can't stay.

Only by getting these things done as soon as possible can he feel at ease, and only then can he have the qualifications to truly stir up the world, and now the net woven by the Qin court in the world has become denser and more and more depressing, and they can't afford to delay.

Xianyang.

It's July.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are fewer people in the city.

After the Qin court promulgated the 'decentralization of coinage', the world was indeed lively, with the Guanzhong successive private coinage outflow, this news was also completely convinced by the world, and then under the high-pressure persecution of the Qin court, the local government has made a compromise and handed over the corresponding account books to Meng Yi.

However, this time the movement is undoubtedly much smaller than what Meng Yi did in Dangjun.

It seems to be just point-to-point.

This also made the Kanto Prefecture secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

That's it.

By cleaning up some officials, the Qin court gradually extended its hand to the local economic power, and the local government also chose to turn a blind eye and put all their attention on coinage.

Since then, the world has fallen into a state of stability.

Only the military academies in the north and the South China Sea are always bright.

The vast majority of the officials lacking in the Kwantung region were promoted from the military academies in northern Xinjiang and the South China Sea, and some were among the officials who ranked at the top of last year's examination, and these people were also promoted.

Even so.

There is still a big shortage of local officials.

Now it is barely able to keep the government running.

Therefore, the officer cadets in the northern Xinjiang and the South China Sea are now reckless, and they want to seize the time, catch the last tail, and complete their studies, otherwise when the cadets of the local schools graduate, many official positions will be preferentially seized by these people, and the official positions left to them at that time may not be as good as before.

The whole world has entered a long-lost tranquility in the past six months.

A large number of Qianshou returned to their hometowns, most of the places were fine, the grassland and Baiyue had stopped, and the world showed stability and peace.

West Side.

The place where Ji Heng lived was several times larger.

It's not that my place has been rebuilt.

Instead, a few empty rooms nearby were opened up by someone sent by Hu Hai, and the whole four-in-one.

For this.

Hu Hai also deliberately sealed the doors of the remaining houses.

There is only one entrance to the entire house.

It is Ji Heng's door.

Today, these empty rooms are filled with tools.

A large amount of wood chips and wood fibers can be found everywhere, and a peculiar smell can be smelled from time to time.

Hu Hai has devoted himself to it.

The 'paper' he made has gradually gained a little more texture from the original sawdust waste, although it still can't be written, but it has begun to take shape, and now under Hu Hai's day and night, there has been a lot of progress.

Even.

Gongzi Gao Gongzi has also come to Lu more often.

It also attracts the attention of Ying Sinian from time to time, and every time he finishes reading, he always has to go to Hu Hai's side to see Hu Hai pouring all kinds of wood pulp and making all kinds of tools.

But it's also a lot of fun.

Ji Heng didn't care.

Let Ying Sinian squander his energy.

Then.

In a sink, Hu Hai put the bamboo slices in the water, shook them vigorously, and then put the bamboo slices aside with light movements, and did not directly expose them to the sun, but placed them in a cooler place.

Hu Hai also said with a heartfelt voice: "This time it should be successful." ”

"It was a little bit worse last time."

"For more than 100 days, I don't know how much bark and fishing nets have been used, I don't believe it, I can't get this paper."

Hu Hai panted and put down the bamboo slices.

Begin to wait for it to dry.

It's hot.

Hu Hai didn't really care either.

There is only the slightly yellowed bamboo weaving in his eyes.

Side.

Ying Sinian handed over a little ice water.

Hu Hai glanced at it, stretched out his hand to take it, drank it all in one gulp, and muttered in his mouth: "No, this saltpeter ice making is also a good method, why am I staring at papermaking?" ”

"If you offer this ice, you should be able to get a reward, right?"

Ying Sinian shook his head and said calmly: "Uncle, don't think about this, you didn't make saltpeter ice, this is the master's guidance, the master said before, only if you make it yourself, will it be recognized by the emperor's grandfather, otherwise the second uncle will not spend a year or two compiling the "Book of Languages" by himself." ”

"And"

"This is already an extrajudicial favor."

"According to the law of Great Qin, whether it is the second uncle or the younger uncle, you are not qualified to invent and create, but the imperial grandfather and Zong Zheng chose to turn a blind eye, otherwise." A chuckle appeared on the corner of Ying Sinian's mouth, and he continued: "You have all broken the law. ”

Hu Hai's face darkened.

He glanced at Ying Sinian a few times, and said angrily: "Don't tell me any laws, I am more familiar with them than you, and some of these laws are not right, this is a problem of the Great Qin system." ”

Ying Sinian defended: "Each performs its own duties, which is originally respected by the Legalists, why is it wrong? ”

"Of course, there will be some people who are more suitable for other industries, but this kind of people are destined to be a minority, and changing the law for the sake of a few people will only lead to more people being uncertain and unwilling to accept the status quo, if too many people are like this, it will only lead to an imbalance in the world."

"After the decentralization of the coinage, there are already many people in Guanzhong who have gone to smelting and forging."

"After a while, I'm afraid it will become a trend."

"How can this be a good thing?"

Hu Hai sneered and said noncommittally: "Don't use this set of rhetoric to trick me, I know more than you, how long have you been studying with Ji Heng, less than a year, what can you learn?" There is nothing in the world that cannot be changed, but it is not suitable, and when the time is ripe, it is not impossible to change the old system of arranging households and people. ”

"You have studied here in Ji Heng for a period of time, so you should understand that you should not look at the world with fixed ideas."

"The world is changing all the time."

"With your little ink, don't reason with me."

"Your uncle and I, other skills are useless, but the ability to sophistry is still there, this is also what your master has always told me and your father before, to have your own sense of independence, you obviously don't have it now, you are too constrained by books."

"Your second uncle's book is very good."

"But you also need to understand one thing, these books are for people to read, and they are useless for doing things."

"If you really believe the book, you will be like your father in his early years."

"Big and undeserved."

Listening to Hu Hai's words, Ying Sinian was thoughtful.

That's just at this time.

There was a knock outside Ji Heng's door.

At the same time, there was an urgent shout: "Prince Huhai, there is an urgent matter in the palace, please return quickly" (end of this chapter)
