Chapter 168: Common Origin
"See that? I asked General Meng Wu to send troops to surround it."
"There's no one living there. It will be used to develop gunpowder in the future."
"gunpowder?"
This was the first time Fusu heard this word.
"You'll know later. Come on, let's go in and take a look."
Zhang Yuanqing patted Fusu's shoulder. The fourteen-year-old Fusu had grown to be as tall as himself and was no longer the same child.
"My Lord, the eldest son."
Seeing Zhang Yuanqing and the other person come in, Xu Fu and others greeted them.
"Everyone, please stand up and sit down."
"Everyone has looked at the recipe, are you sure?"
Without waiting for Xing Yuan to speak, Xu Fu stood up and said, "Don't worry, my Lord. We will definitely be able to complete your request."
The other alchemists also nodded hurriedly.
If they don't seize this opportunity, they will have no way to survive.
This must be done, perhaps it will bring about a better future.
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, "Then please follow General Meng Wu to the designated location to begin the experiment."
"promise."
After Xu Fu and the alchemists left, Zhang Yuanqing looked at Xing Yuan, You Zhu and the others and said, "Once the alchemists have come up with the formula for gunpowder, I'll have to trouble you all to use it in weapons."
"promise."
The reason why the Mo family was not allowed to experiment with the formula was because any carelessness could put their lives in danger. Zhang Yuanqing felt heartbroken when the Mo family lost one person.
Those alchemists are just used to do these dangerous things.
After leaving the Mohist Weapon Shop, Zhang Yuanqing took Fusu to find General Mengwu again.
After giving some instructions, he got on the carriage and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Teacher, is this gunpowder really that powerful?"
After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, the master and disciple sat in the courtyard.
Still under the old tree, the sunlight shines through the lush leaves onto people, bringing a touch of warmth.
Zhang Yuanqing lay lazily on his recliner, rocking gently.
Fusu was very envious of such a teacher.
"This gunpowder is more powerful than you think."
"If we possess it, not only will our Qin army be invincible on the battlefield, but it will also be a powerful tool for cutting through mountains and digging roads."
Fusu thought about it and couldn't imagine how powerful it was.
"Then why didn't the teacher take it out before?"
Zhang Yuanqing turned to look at Fusu and spoke after a long time.
"Can you tell me where the seven kingdoms of the world originated from?"
Although Fusu didn't understand why the teacher asked this, he began to explain slowly.
By the time Fusu finished speaking, he was already thirsty. He picked up a cup of cold tea and drank it, which relieved the pain a lot.
"Look, we are all from the same lineage, we share the same blood, we drink the same water, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang. Why do we have to fight to the death?"
Fusu heard this for the first time and fell into deep thought.
"Fusu understands what the teacher means. The world has been one family since ancient times. No matter how we fight, it cannot change the fact that we share the same roots."
After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Zhang Yuanqing, "Fusu is grateful for your instruction."
"Get up."
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Fusu with admiration, which made Fusu very happy.
"Thank you, teacher."
"Now I have a mission for you."
Hearing his teacher say this, Fusu straightened his back.
"Now that the world is united, the people's thoughts naturally need to be unified as well."
"The ideas we just discussed need to be instilled into the hearts of every citizen of Qin."
"Can you tell me what to do?"
Fusu began to think seriously. The handsome young man had lost his childishness and gained the toughness of a man.
"Teacher, you have foresight, Fusu admires you."
Zhang Yuanqing was a little confused about Fusu's sudden reaction.
"Teacher, is this why you asked our father to build academies in multiple locations?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Yuanqing looked at Fusu with a little surprise, and the recliner stopped shaking.
sure.
This kid reacts so quickly.
"Tell me."
"Teacher, now that academies have been built in many places in Qin State, most of the people's children are sent to academies to learn to read. We can compile this thought into a book and have the students read it. In this way, we can quietly pass on the idea that the world has been one since ancient times to every citizen."
"It is also the simplest way to eliminate the hostility of the six kingdoms' noble families towards Qin."
"Let Qin truly achieve unity among all its people and unify the world."
The more Fusu spoke, the brighter his eyes became.
Zhang Yuanqing became more and more satisfied as he listened. In a very good mood, he began to rock the recliner again, closed his eyes, and felt the beauty of the sunshine. "Young Master is smart, this method is very good. Then, you can discuss this matter with His Majesty and then do it."
"Fusu thanks you, teacher."
Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand lazily, "Why thank me? This is the idea that the eldest master came up with. Very good, very good."
"Go."
After bidding farewell to his teacher, Fusu hurried back to Zhangtai Palace.
Talked to Ying Zheng about what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Hahaha, my son is fine. This matter is just as your teacher said, you can handle it."
"promise."
Looking at Fusu's departing back, Ying Zheng felt satisfied.
He looked at the three children who were busy reviewing memorials and nodded.
In the next few days, Fusu started to get busy.
After much deliberation, Fusu decided to select Confucian teachers to write such books.
In the following days, Fusu came to Daqin Academy early every day and worked with the Confucian school to compile the book "The Integration of China".
The Confucian school showed unprecedented enthusiasm for this matter.
Several teachers handed over their teaching tasks to other students, and they read classics together every day, checked the sources, and wrote new books.
At this moment, good news came from General Li Mu.
Great victory in Korea.
When the news reached Xianyang, Ying Zheng and Fusu stood before the map, watching as another piece of land was added to the map of Daqin.
"Father, now that Korea has been conquered, I wonder how the training of General Wang Ben's navy is going."
"And Mo Jiayanfang and his men have finished building their boats."
"Teacher has always been thinking about this island, and Fusu also wants to see what's so special about it."
Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Fusu: "Don't worry, Wang Ben reported that the navy training went smoothly and the personnel have been expanded."
"The Mo family is also making good progress. I believe the ship will be completed after the autumn harvest."
"That's great."
Fusu had a smile on his handsome face, and his height had already exceeded Ying Zheng's shoulders.
When Ying Zheng looked at Fusu, he felt like his son had grown up.
The next morning at court, the Qin king and his ministers began to discuss the governance of the Korean region.
This time Li Si took the initiative to recommend himself.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Korea to help the king."
When Wang Wan returned to the court, he looked at the heroic Li Si and finally suppressed the urge to recommend himself.
This time I won’t compete with Li Si for the credit.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go with you."
Old partner Feng Quji stepped forward.
Then Meng Yi recommended himself.
Seeing the three of them like this, Ying Zheng naturally agreed, and then named a number of officials to go together.
"Do you have anything to report?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The court officials who were waiting to leave the court all looked at the right prime minister.
"allow."
"Your Majesty, now that the world is unified, Your Majesty should appoint a crown prince as soon as possible to stabilize the court and reassure the people."
