Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Zhao Che's progress is fast, and Ying Zheng's is not slow at all.

After several days of research and pondering, Gong Shuchou finally lived up to everyone's expectations and smelted stronger and more reliable iron according to the latest iron smelting techniques.

"Your Majesty, this is a long sword forged using the latest iron. Whether it is sharpness or other aspects, it is far superior to the bronze sword we are using now!"

Gongshuchou stroked the long sword in his hand, his expression extremely excited.

"Submit it up and have a look!"

"Here!"

Gongshuchou handed the long sword to Zhang Han and asked him to present it to Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng looked at the bright sword and flicked it with his fingers.

"Zheng!"

The clear and crisp sword sound sounded very pleasant.

"Good sword!"

When Yingzheng was young, he also mounted a horse and served as a commander. He fought countless battles in his life, so he could naturally distinguish good weapons from bad ones.

"Zhang Han, use your long sword to compare with this sword!"

"Here!"

When Zhang Han heard this, he immediately drew out his long sword and placed it in front of him.

Ying Zheng raised his sword and lowered it, and slashed directly at Zhang Han's long sword.

"Dang!"

There was a clear sound of the long swords colliding, and the two long swords collided, bursting out sparks.

Afterwards, Ying Zheng took a look at the long sword in his hand, and found that the blade was still clear without any gaps.

As for Zhang Han's sword, there was an obvious gap where it collided just now.

"I didn't expect this sword to be so powerful!"

Zhang Han looked at his long sword with a hint of shock on his face.

Although it has been known for a long time that the quality of iron long swords is better than that of bronze swords, they did not expect that the gap between these two weapons is so obvious.

On the battlefield, apart from the difference in strength between two people, the most critical factor in the outcome of a battle depends on weapons and equipment.

The power of this iron weapon really exceeded their expectations. It is conceivable how much combat power it can add to the soldiers of the Qin Army on the battlefield.

"What is the current progress of iron ore mining? Can the manufacturing speed of this kind of weaponry keep up?"

Ying Zheng put away his long sword, looked at Gong Shuchou and asked.

During the court meetings in recent days, the Xiongnu became more and more arrogant, and battle reports came back every day.

Although so far, the Huns have not made a large-scale attack, but daily small frictions continue.

Yingzheng, who got the new weapon, couldn't wait to go head-to-head with the Xiongnu.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are still a few key issues that have not been resolved with this new iron smelting technique. The speed is not bad, but it is still more difficult than casting bronze."

"If these key problems can be solved, our speed should be faster, and even the quality of weapons will be improved."

"If my estimation is correct, the real power of the weapon made by using this iron smelting technique is enough to split General Zhang Han's sword in half."

……

Hearing Gong Shuqiu's words, Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasped.

The sword in his hand is already very good.

Even the most famous sword in the world, compared to the one in my hand, I'm afraid it is nothing more than that.

And this is not the highest quality, according to the words of Gong Shuchou, this sword is at best a defective product.

If the problems he mentioned can be solved, wouldn't the forged sword be called a magic weapon?

"Is there any problem in iron smelting that has not been solved? Submit it to me for a look!"

"The villain has already written it all here, please look at it, Your Majesty!"

Gongshuchou took a scroll of bamboo slips and asked Zhang Han to present it to Yingzheng.

"The widow knows, you go back first, the widow will give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Gongshuchou nodded and left Xianyang Palace.

Yingzheng opened the bamboo slips and took a look, and found that he knew every word written in it, but he didn't know what it meant when they were connected together.

For example, what kind of purification, what reaction formula, etc., I have never heard of it.

"It seems that the widow has to go to Jingshui again!"

"Your Majesty, I'm going to prepare the frame now!"

……

A moment later, an ordinary carriage, carrying Ying Zheng and Zhang Han wobbly, galloped towards Jingshui.

"What is Your Majesty doing all this time?"

Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng's leaving figure with a gloomy expression.

As the closest celebrity around Yingzheng, how could he not have noticed the changes in Yingzheng during this time?
Not only that, recently, Ying Zheng's attitude towards him seems to be a little distant.

This kind of estrangement made Zhao Gao feel that he seemed to have lost his power, and even the officials below did not respect him as much as before.

And all these changes seem to have become like this after His Majesty took Meng Yi out of the palace that time.

"So, what secret is His Majesty hiding?"

Zhao Gao rubbed his chin, thinking of the various changes in Daqin in the recent period.

First, Yingzheng killed those alchemists, and later set up a Daqin Salt Company, which raided a large number of salt merchants who sold private salt.

Zhao Gao intends to make some preparations in advance, but the problem is that Ying Zheng seems to be deliberately avoiding himself, and even the intentions during this period were written and conveyed by Ying Zheng himself.

"Zhao Gao? Why are you here? Your Majesty is in the palace?"

When Zhao Gao was thinking, suddenly a voice rang in his ear.

"So it's Lord Shangqing!"

Zhao Gaoyi looked like Meng Yi, and his face suddenly became as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

In the whole Great Qin, no one knew the hatred between him and Meng Yi.

"Don't talk nonsense, let me ask if your majesty is in the palace?"

Meng Yi glanced at Zhao Gao, and interrupted him directly.

"Back to Lord Shangqing, His Majesty just left the palace, as for where he went, I don't know!"

Zhao Gao felt Meng Yi's contempt, and he was even more annoyed, but he was just a small CRRC prefect who also served as the Shaofu.

But Meng Yi's position is high and powerful, and the official worships Shangqing, in terms of status, he is far superior to him.

Therefore, even if there is resentment in his heart, on the surface, he has to show enough respect to Meng Yi.

As for Meng Yi, people don't pay much attention to him, a little Zhao Gao.

After hearing the news that Ying Zheng was leaving the palace, Meng Yi also reacted instantly, knowing that he must have gone to Jingshui again.

"Since His Majesty has gone out of the palace, forget it, and I will come back after His Majesty returns."

Meng Yi shook his head, didn't bother to talk to Zhao Gaoduo, turned his head and left.

"Bastard Meng Yi, sooner or later I will make you pay the price!"

Feeling Meng Yi's contempt, Zhao Gao was even more angry, his eyes were full of resentment.

"We must find a way to find out what His Majesty has been hiding during this time."
