Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

The next stop of this trip is Yunmengze on the Yangtze River. Starting from Nanjun, it would have taken at least five days to travel by water.

A five-day journey is already considered a long time for future generations, but for the ancient times, which often took months or even years, these five days are naturally nothing.

Moreover, because Zhao Che proposed to improve the meals of the men who were in charge of paddling on the boat, they were even more grateful.

The original five-day journey was shortened to three and a half days.

"I didn't expect this trip to be shortened by a day and a half."

Standing on the deck, Ying Zheng could vaguely see the port not far away and the crowd waiting there.

"Naturally, our journey has been smooth, and the wind has been smooth all the way, and the boatmen paddled much harder."

Zhao Che came to Ying Zheng's side and patted the railing on the deck.

"Actually, father, I have told you a long time ago that people are like water, and a king is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it."

"Daqin is like the building boat under our feet. Whether it can sail smoothly and quickly depends on the people at the bottom besides the person at the helm."

"We didn't promise anything to those boatmen, and we didn't promise high officials and rich salaries. We just improved their food a little bit so that they can eat some fresh food, and we can make them put in [-] points of effort. "

"The thoughts of the heads of Guizhou are very simple. What I gave these boatmen was just some small favors, but what you want to treat, Dad, is the 2000 million Qianshou of the Great Qin Dynasty, but I believe you will do better."

……

After Zhao Che finished speaking, he looked at the port in front of him in silence.

Ying Zheng frowned, thinking carefully about the charm of these words.

Zhao Che had indeed said similar remarks to him before, but this time, Ying Zheng really saw the effect that boatmen can have on the navigation of large ships.

Before Zhao Che appeared, Ying Zheng treated the old people of the Six Kingdoms, although he also treated them as the people of Great Qin.

But all the hardest and most tiring work in Daqin is generally done by these survivors of the six countries, and there are heavy corvee burdens on them.

Yingzheng's idea is to let these survivors of the six countries run around all day for their livelihood, and they are exhausted every day, so they don't have extra energy and time to think about the hatred of those countries and families in the past.

It can't be said that Ying Zheng's approach was completely wrong, but the specific results all exploded after his sudden death in the sand dunes.

When Yingzheng was alive, he had the ability and means to suppress all internal and external troubles in Daqin.

But after his death, there was no qualified heir who could inherit his ambition, and even Hu Hai intensified his efforts, and it was already foreshadowed that he would end up in the death of a second generation.

……

"Father, we're at the port!"

Yingzheng's thoughts were interrupted by Zhao Che's voice, and when he looked up, the boat had already docked on the shore.

"So fast?"

Ying Zheng's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked up at the port not far away.

At this time, the surrounding area of ​​the port has already been under martial law. Looking up, there are dense figures.

All along the road are guarded by Daqin soldiers, their sharp knives out of their sheaths, and their armor shining brightly under the sunlight.

After sailing all the way, Ying Zheng and others finally arrived at the next stop of the parade, Jiuyi Mountain.

This is the place where Emperor Shun died in history, and Ying Zheng came here to worship the sages.

Even though Yingzheng believed that he had surpassed the three emperors and five emperors in virtue when he enshrined Zen in Mount Tai, Yingzheng was still full of respect for the ancestors of people like the three emperors and five emperors.

Yingzheng's parade is a big event, and there are quite a few people who come to greet him.

As soon as the building boat docked, all the officials below rushed over to greet it.

Ying Zheng was also used to this kind of ostentation, so naturally he didn't have much interest, so he took Zhao Che off the boat.

"Which one behind His Majesty should be the famous young master Che?"

"I heard that this Young Master Che is a strange person. We in Daqin have such a good life now, it is all thanks to Young Master Che!"

"Your news is already out of date. I heard that before the parade, His Majesty held a grand court meeting in person, just to confer the crown prince, but was rejected by the son!"

……

After such a long time, Zhao Che's reputation has already spread.

After all, he is Ying Zheng's biological son, and he has made so many contributions to Da Qin.

Ying Zheng even admitted that all the previous reforms in the Qin Dynasty were proposed by Zhao Che.

Regardless of the authenticity of these words, just from this point of view, it is enough to show Ying Zheng's love for this son.

Even if Zhao Che is not willing to inherit the position of Great Qin Prince, so what?His status in Daqin will definitely not be low in the future.

At least when Yingzheng was still alive, Zhao Che was the most honorable person in the world besides Yingzheng, and even Fusu had to be ranked behind him.

"Your Majesty, the palace has been prepared. Please return to the palace to rest for a day, and then go to Jiuyi Mountain to worship Emperor Shun tomorrow morning!"

Meng Yi had communicated with those officials a long time ago, and stepped forward to explain to Ying Zheng.

"it is good!"

Ying Zheng nodded. He had been living on the ship all the way, and he was somewhat exhausted physically and mentally. He just needed to take a rest.

But before going back to rest, I have to meet with these officials who came to visit.

Fortunately, Zhao Che is just a son, and he doesn't hold any position in Daqin, so naturally he doesn't need to accompany him to visit.

Ying Zheng never forced Zhao Che to do things he didn't like, so he let him go back to rest first.

"Your Majesty, here is a letter from Xianyang, from Mr. Fusu. Because you are on the waterway, it was sent here in advance."

As soon as Zhao Che left, Meng Yi brought a letter to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng opened it and glanced at it. It was Fusu who reported some of the situation in Xianyang during this period, and the news that the schools around Xianyang had been completed and could start school at any time.

"Take it to Che'er for a look, the widow will meet with these officials first."

Ying Zheng just nodded after reading it, handed it over to Zhang Han at will, and went to work on his affairs.

……

At the same time, Xianyang.

After these few days of brewing, the changes in Xianyang are not insignificant.

Since Fusu was in charge of the country, it seems that he has changed as a different person, and his acting style has become very decisive.

The first to bear the brunt are naturally those Yin Yang family and others who are unwilling to cooperate with Daqin to promote the nine-year compulsory education.

After Fusu secretly asked Chun Yuyue to release the news, it really made these people feel dissatisfied immediately.

As previously expected, almost none of them were willing to hand over their own collection of classics.

Fusu didn't panic about this at all, and just supervised the production and printing of newspapers all day long.

Finally, on the day Yingzheng arrived at Jiuyi Mountain, the first batch of Daqin Daily was released.

However, due to the rush of work and the vast territory of Daqin, the Daqin Daily will be published from Xianyang first, and it may take a few days for other places to receive it.
