my grandfather was qin shi huang

Zhao Ying did not expect that just by calling in a few craftsmen, he would actually recruit Shi Lu, the young master.

He stood up and said hello with a smile.

"I heard that His Highness was going to build a farm tool that can lead water to higher places. I couldn't control my curiosity and came here to learn more..."

Shi Lu first rushed over to salute Zhao Ying with a smile on his face, and then greeted Tian Jing and others with a smile on his face. He had heard that this unruly Mo family member was now holding back his energy and wanted to cultivate him. What about new seeds that could increase crop yields.

Regardless of whether this thing can be done or not, it is worthy of everyone's admiration.

I left the good work of You Shangshu and went into this small ravine. Like an old farmer, I personally ran to the fields and squatted in the fields to serve the crops. How many people are there?

"Master Shi, you're too polite - actually it's not a novelty. Speaking of it, it's similar to Huangsun Che and Huangsun Mo..."

With the top craftsmen from the Shaofu here, and the Shaofu Shi Lu here, if you want to build a barrel cart that has a simple structure and does not require much height, it is easy to do it.

After listening to Zhao Ying's requirements and designs, Shi Lu waved his hand and had suitable wood sent from the Shaofu.

After the things arrived, Cheng Yu, Chun and others immediately started to build a small barrel cart in less than half an hour.

Assembled in the creek nearby, the crowd couldn't help but cheer as they watched the cart slowly rotate under the impact of the water, sending water from the lower stream to the higher slopes.

"Your Highness is really, really——"

Looking at the barrel truck that had started running, Shi Lu couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, and for a moment he couldn't think of any words to express his mood at this moment.

Such a simple gadget easily solves the problem of difficult irrigation in high-altitude fields.

How much manpower will this save?

"Your Highness's wisdom is not given by God?"

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and prevaricate casually.

"What is not divinely ordained is just a matter of taking advantage of the situation..."

However, I know very well that I am trying my best. It is not that I am a genius, but that I stand on the shoulders of countless geniuses and am just a porter of knowledge.

"Your Highness is a master of craftsmanship, and his skills are close to Taoism. Even though I am a disciple of the Mohist family who is proficient in this way, I am far behind. This barrel cart may seem simple, but in fact it contains a lot of knowledge. I would like to implore Your Highness to take the time to serve the Mohist family." I’m going to give you a lecture, but I don’t know what His Highness’s wishes are…”

Tian Qi, who had been watching the cart for a long time, walked back with his bare feet, one step deep and one shallow, and bowed solemnly to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying subconsciously glanced at the Mohist disciples following him, and found that all of them were looking at him feverishly, and suddenly nodded strangely in his heart.

"If you don't mind it, that's fine, but I've agreed in advance that I will only talk about the principles of making farm tools. As for the rest, I have to rely on you gentlemen..."

As soon as Zhao Ying said this, everyone looked at him with more respect.

What does this show?

It shows that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, cares deeply about the world and is a person who is truly willing to bend down and do practical things for the people of the world!

After such a delay, it was actually past noon.

Zhao Ying simply had wine and food delivered, and a group of people found a shady place nearby by the stream, sat around and had a picnic.

Zhao Ying also enthusiastically went into the water himself and caught a few carp and white stripes.

BBQ on site.

Although there are no cumin and other ingredients, the fish meat is delicious. Even if it is simply sprinkled with some fine salt, it is still fragrant and everyone is amazed when eating it.

On the contrary, Zhao Ying himself simply tasted a few mouthfuls and didn't move much.

……

in the palace.

Seeing that Zhao Ying ran away without even arriving for lunch, Hu Hai immediately became energetic.

During the recent period, Li Shiqi almost gave him instructions, repeatedly telling him that he must make good use of his current position as a captain of the imperial army, run to the First Emperor more often, and show his filial piety in front of the First Emperor.

However, he was a little intimidated by Zhao Ying. Besides, it was not like he had never tried before. When Zhao Ying was around, the First Emperor's attention was not at all on his son.

But today, this opportunity has come!

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Ying left with his front legs, he happily ran to greet his own grandson with his back legs.

This time, Zhao Ying was no longer an eyesore, and sure enough, the First Emperor's love was back. The father and son talked about themselves in the inner hall for a long time. At noon, the First Emperor even took the initiative to leave some food.

Hu Hai was so moved that his nose felt sour.

It had been a long time since I had received this kind of grace.

It's all Zhao Ying's fault!

However, the First Emperor, who had long been accustomed to his grandson accompanying him, talking and eating, suddenly couldn't see his eldest grandson devouring his food, and felt a little empty in his heart. Even the rice felt like it was missing something. After taking a few bites, I threw down my chopsticks and didn't want to eat anymore.

Hu Hai didn't feel anything unusual.

In the past, my old man didn’t have a big appetite.

Looking at his youngest son who was trying his best to find topics to please himself, the First Emperor sighed secretly in his heart. How could he not see through this young son's thoughts?

But now I have a better choice.

His thoughts were destined to fall into the void. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel soft, and even his tone became a little gentler without realizing it. This made Hu Hai feel more and more that his Mr. Li was reliable.

My heart felt relaxed and my speech became more and more natural.

It wasn't until the First Emperor's face showed obvious tiredness that Hu Hai reluctantly left.

"Tell me, will that brat treat him well in the future..."

Looking at Hu Hai who had been walking out of the hall and still looking back from time to time, the First Emperor couldn't help but sigh and looked at Hei beside him. Hei heard the words and bowed slightly.

"His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, has a kind heart. I think he is someone who values ​​family ties very much..."

The First Emperor nodded slightly and said no more.

In the afternoon, the First Emperor summoned Taiwei Liao, who had not been in court for a long time. The two men talked for a long time in the inner hall. After Wei Liaozi left, the First Emperor wrote another letter to Li Xin personally.

Speaking of which, he himself felt a little helpless.

Everyone was worried that their heir would be unable to control himself and become obsessed with women. As a result, his grandson was better off than a womanizer! This is worse than being addicted to women - as a grandfather, the only way he can think of is to find him more wives and concubines.

There are all kinds of styles!

There should always be one you like——

If that still didn't work, he was considering whether to draft his grandson.

……

Zhao Ying didn't know this. When he came back from Tian Shi, he turned around and went to the recruit camp.

Although it is still a recruiting camp.

But Zhao Ying took a completely different route in training these guards brought back from Hexi County than the previous three thousand recruits. The art of war is not taught, and even basic horseback shooting is rarely practiced.

After studying "Forging the Soul of the Army", he began to study the customs and etiquette of the Qin Dynasty, and also invited Confucian disciples to come over and teach them music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, calligraphy and music, loyalty, filial piety and justice, so that they could feel the charm of the Qin Dynasty culture.

These aristocratic children from Hexi County suddenly discovered what the life they lived in was called.

Compared with the Qin people, they are just like a country bumpkin!

Therefore, in less than two months, the mental outlook of these guards has almost undergone earth-shaking changes.

Although he is still tall and even fatter, his behavior has become more polite, and even his voice has dropped several decibels.

A noble must look like a noble!

Zhao Ying felt very satisfied with this and patted Meng Yu on the shoulder with approval.

"Yes, keep working hard..."

After receiving the praise from His Highness the Emperor Changsun, Meng Yu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and even his bones felt three points lighter.

"That's right, that's right. What is my identity as a general? My guards don't need to charge into battle. How can they be just some vulgar people who cannot be educated? They should be like you and strive to be a learned, cultivated and temperamental person. A gentleman-like guard with substance is in line with my identity as a general..."

A gentlemanly guard!

Hearing this, these young people from Hexi couldn't help but stand up with their chests raised and their heads raised, feeling proud.

Zhao Ying nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Everyone, study hard and study hard. When everyone finishes their studies, our Guards Camp will be officially renamed the Gentleman Camp!"

Not to mention these Hexi youths who are from Hexi and yearn for the culture and life of Daqin. Even Meng Yu, who was born in the Meng family, feels excited.

Gentleman’s camp!

What an honor this must be——

For this reason, when I went home for dinner in the evening, the excitement on my face had not yet subsided. Meng Wu and Meng Yi looked a little confused. When they asked carefully, their eyes suddenly became strange.

"Yu'er, you will really become a gentleman's camp from now on..."

Meng Wu took a sip, finished the wine in his glass, and then squinted his eyes at his little grandson, who still couldn't hide his excitement.

"Well, the emperor's grandson said that we should be a gentleman-like guard who is knowledgeable, cultivated, temperamental and connotative..."

He said it with a look of longing.

"And I will be the first commander of this gentleman's camp then!"

Meng Wu: ...

Meng Yi's hand movements couldn't help but stagnate slightly, and he quickly lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of rice.

Forget it, stupid people have stupid blessings, it's good to be like this, at least it won't delay the emperor's grandson's important event!

Meng Wu and Meng Yi, father and son, glanced at each other subconsciously without saying a word. They even gave a few words of encouragement to the silly boy like themselves with approval.

This made Meng Yu even more energetic.

When I returned to my room and lay on the bed, I tossed and turned, thinking about how to lead everyone to study hard, and strive to bring out a guard with a gentleman's style, so as to save face for His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor.

But Zhao Ying is much simpler.

After returning home, that night, I went to Yu Ji's room.

It's not that we don't care about women, nor that we don't understand sentiments. The main thing is to correct mistakes when they know they are wrong, and to make up for it before it's too late!

"Your Highness..."

The night was deep and dark, everything was quiet, and even the moonlight was hidden in the occasional passing clouds, half-covered and half-covered, trying to reject but welcome.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ying looked at Yu Ji, who was frowning slightly in her sleep, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and reveal a smile. Without exposing Yu Ji's little trick, she quietly got off the bed, dressed and washed, went out refreshed, and went straight to the palace.

Behind her, as the door closed, Yu Ji's long eyelashes fluttered, she opened her eyes, looked at her exposed pink arms, couldn't help but pull the brocade quilt, and shrank back, and then couldn't help it. Zhu Xiu frowned, and a seductive blush flashed across her face.

The remaining days, Zhao Ying's days, finally became regular again.

Every morning, he would wake up and go to the palace to practice Tai Chi in person with his elder father. Sometimes he would even teach him step by step. Then he would have breakfast with the First Emperor and review memorials.

Occasionally when going in and out of the palace, they would even flirt with each other - ahem, they would also drag their eighteenth uncle to chat with them passionately, or they would drag Ziying and others to talk about the scenery of Xianyang and their experiences in various places. Comment on world events and take the opportunity to understand the strengths and weaknesses of these people.

Although Da Qin did not implement the enfeoffment system, for now, these members of the royal family were still the most trustworthy allies.

It can never be the same as in the previous life. When the Great Qin Dynasty was in turmoil, these royal family members of the Great Qin Dynasty could only wait to be killed and captured without mercy.

He always felt that the reason for such a situation in later history was not that the Qin royal family ran out of talents, but because the First Emperor suffered too many backstabbings and subconsciously lacked trust in his relatives!

An obvious example is Ziying.

This guy is low-key and restrained, and has a very clear view of many things. But it wasn't until Hu Hai came to power that this guy showed a little bit of prowess. Unfortunately, by that time, the building was about to collapse and there was no way to save it.

Therefore, Zhao Ying felt that he could discover some talents in advance, just in case something changes.

Just when Zhao Ying was living a peaceful life.

Hexi.

Dunhuang.

Our Chief Liu Dating was unwilling to be lonely.

Although he was so excited that he agreed to Zhang Han's invitation and stayed in Dunhuang, how could this guy be able to endure loneliness?

But Dunhuang is a remote place after all. It can't compare with the bustle and bustle of Xianyang. It's not even as good as his Peixian County. At least there are his friends there, and his beloved wife who just married recently. Ahem, there are also gifts. Widow Cao gave birth to a fat boy.

Every day, I take my brothers around, show off my power, drink some wine, and live as happily as a god.

But what’s the point of staying in Dunhuang——

Except for a mouthful of sand, she was a blond, blue-eyed, broad-boned barbarian woman.

Of course, he didn’t dislike it, and at first he felt it was a bit novel——

But isn’t this the novelty gone?

This guy, I feel like it’s not interesting anymore, it’s not as moisturizing as my own woman.
