The Fruit of Surgery

"As expected of the Nong family, there are quite a few medicines." When leaving Puyang City, Shen Fei took the opportunity to buy a lot of medicinal materials in the pharmacy in the city, many of which were rare.

These medicinal materials were naturally used for alchemy. Although the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials were discovered by the old man Shennong, the Nong family is also one of the hundreds of schools of thought that are good at alchemy, but their alchemy level is simply not comparable to that of the Yin-Yang School and the Taoist School.

Whether it is the basic blood and qi pills for strengthening the body or the real person pills that can greatly increase a person's true qi, there is a big gap, but the Nong family also has an advantage, that is, there are many people, because there are many people, so there are many masters.

These once again illustrate the importance of being poor in literature and rich in martial arts, just like the strength of the Four Seas in the Pirate World is far inferior to the Grand Line.

"The reaction is quite fast, but it's a pity that it's still too late." Puyang City is an important base for the Nong family, and the Nong family attaches great importance to it. How could Shen Fei's buying a large amount of medicinal materials at one time not alarm the Nong family?

But before they reacted and started to act, Shen Fei had already left. If it were someone else, it would be impossible to leave so easily, because the large amount of medicinal materials you bought is not so easy to transport in a place full of farmers' eyes and ears. But for Shen Fei, this is simply a piece of cake.

After Shen Fei left, the poor farmer's disciples were still searching around like headless flies.

Shouchun, the capital of Chu.

"It is a magnificent palace. Although I haven't been to the capital of Qi to see the palace of Qi, I think it shouldn't be too bad. Speaking of it, the Xianyang Palace of Qin is still the worst."

Since coming to this world, Shen Fei has seen many palaces, including those of Han, Qin, Zhao, Yan, and now Chu. From all the way, the Xianyang Palace is only a little larger than the palace of Han in terms of area, but it is far inferior in decoration.

As for the comparison with Zhao, Yan, and Chu, whether it is area or decoration, the palace of Chu is far worse. It is the largest one so far.

Although I haven't seen the palace of Qi, I have heard that the King of Qi is doing what he does now, and the wealth of Qi, so I think it must be extremely luxurious.

Ying Zheng has been scolded for thousands of years for the Afang Palace. It is true that history is written by the victors. It is ridiculous to say that the historian is upright.

Shen Fei is not speaking well for Ying Zheng here, but it is a fact that it is normal for the unified Qin Empire to build a new palace. You can't stay in the Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng's mistake was probably that he lost, and he was too impatient to start several major projects at the same time. Speaking of it, there was also such an emperor in later generations, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, whose ideas were very similar to Ying Zheng. As a result, he ruined his country, but his successors benefited greatly.

Without Ying Zheng's great unification and the same writing and the same track, it would not be so smooth in later generations.

As for saying that Ying Zheng was cruel, this is a bit ridiculous. In Shen Fei's opinion, some of Ying Zheng's behaviors were somewhat cruel, but that was from the modern perspective of the future. However, in this era, Ying Zheng's behaviors were very normal. Collective punishment and implicated are not only the Qin State.

It's just that some people deliberately turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye to some things. Such people have never been lacking from ancient times to the present, including modern society.

"Emperor Xin." From Ying Zheng, Shen Fei couldn't help but think of the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, who was also blackened. It was said that Emperor Xin was licentious and immoral, but he only had two children, while a certain person who claimed to be a justice for the heaven had nearly a hundred children. Who was licentious and immoral?

Emperor Xin fell, the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, and since then there was no king in the world, only the emperor.

"The Qu family of Chu, Qu Yuan, Song Yu, are really famous figures, the most beautiful men in the world." In a restaurant in Chu, Shen Fei was very surprised to hear these two names. Of course, Song Yu is no longer the most beautiful man in the world today, after all, he is old.

"Qu Yuan, Zongzi, but I really didn't expect that Qu Yuan could be considered a descendant of the royal family." The name Qu Yuan is also famous in later generations, but many people, like Shen Fei, don't know that his origin is actually extraordinary. He is a descendant of the King of Chu, and Song Yu is his disciple.

Qu Yuan is actually a reformist, but unfortunately this faction has no foothold in Chu. Even if he is actually a descendant of the royal family, what does it matter? After all, he is not the King of Chu.

Chu is truly vast and rich in resources. If the soldiers of the whole country are counted, there are about one million people, which is much more than Qin. After all, its land and population area are there.

In this era, wars are fought on population. Qin declined so quickly after the death of Ying Zheng. Many of them were the reason why Qin's population suffered heavy casualties in the previous war of unification.

Late at night, deep in the harem of the Chu Palace, the drunken King of Chu entered the bedroom with the help of several eunuchs. These eunuchs are handsome, and it seems that the King of Chu is not a serious person.

"He really knows how to enjoy himself." Shen Fei, who appeared silently in the bedroom, shook his head slightly. Compared with the actions of the monarchs of various countries he had witnessed along the way, it was not surprising at all that Ying Zheng unified the world.

The Qin State is now working hard to govern, and Ying Zheng will work late every day. Drinking and having fun, watching songs and dances, Ying Zheng only does it occasionally, but for the kings of other countries, drinking and having fun is basically their real passion. As for handling state affairs, that is something that is done occasionally, which is completely opposite to Ying Zheng.

"Wake up." Shen Fei was not interested in waiting for King Chu to wake up on his own. He simply flicked the fingers of his right hand a few times and touched several acupuncture points of King Chu with the wind, which immediately woke up the drunk King Chu.

"Who are you?" People are coming. King Chu woke up and saw the black shadow outside the curtain, he immediately shouted in panic.

"Stop shouting, no one will hear your voice." Shen Fei's deep voice sounded outside the curtain.

"You are so brave. Do you know who I am? I advise you to let me go, otherwise." King Chu ignored Shen Fei's words and continued to shout.

"Shut up. If I hear you say a word, I will cut out your tongue." Shen Fei said, an ice sword rushed out of the curtain and pierced it, and held it against King Chu. on the neck.

It can gather energy to form a blade, and of course it can also condense ice swords with white dew and frost.

Feeling the chill on his neck, King Chu finally behaved this time. Although his whole body was shaking, he still tried his best to prevent his neck from moving.

"That's right. Don't worry. I'm not here to kill you today, but to give you a warning. Your throne will be in danger."

"What did you say?" King Chu, who was still afraid before, immediately changed his face after hearing these words, "Who wants to deal with me." At this time, King Chu no longer seemed to be afraid of the ice on his neck. The sword is gone.

"Have you ever heard of Lord Changping?" As soon as the name Changping Lord came out, King Chu's expression changed immediately, "You were deceived by him. It's not like he didn't do anything in Qin. According to the information I got, Lord Changping seems to have attracted all the three legions under your command. As for the important ministers in the court, I think even you can guess how many of the important officials in the court are leaning towards Lord Changping. Now he is waiting for an opportunity. The opportunity to return to the Chu Kingdom. Once he returns to the Chu Kingdom, what will happen to you, the King of Chu? This is all, so you can take care of yourself. "

After Shen Fei said everything at once, he left immediately without waiting for King Chu's reaction. In fact, there was no need to wait for King Chu's reaction.

For those in authority, as long as they have doubts, they will definitely go back and investigate. Shen Fei's words only guided King Chu to think in that direction.

For example, just as he told Ying Zheng to be careful of Lord Changping, even if Ying Zheng didn't say anything on the surface, he would still be wary of Lord Changping secretly.

"Come here." After seeing Shen Fei disappear, King Chu hesitated for a moment and then immediately shouted loudly. As he finished speaking, the door of the palace was immediately pushed open, and several people wearing The guards in full armor rushed in. Along with these guards came the masters who secretly protected the King of Chu.

As the king of a country, how could he not have expert guards around him? Even the King of Han has a group of assassins under his command. One of the four kings in the quicksand behind is the Canglang King.

"Trash, a bunch of trash, do you know someone has sneaked in?" King Chu said and walked out of the curtain. Someone immediately went up to help him, while others searched around the palace.

"Mr. Changping, three legions." In front of Shen Fei, King Chu acted extremely greedy for life and afraid of death. However, when there was no threat of death, King Chu's IQ began to rise.

Being able to snatch the position of King of Chu from Lord Changping, the current King of Chu is not stupid, but after so many years of pampering, he has been corrupted like King Han. Now someone is threatening his throne. The situation is certainly not the same. Same.

This type of person may not be very good at running a country, but they are absolutely top-notch at playing tricks and intrigues. They are good at internal fighting and outside fighting at outsiders. This is this type of person.

"Come here." After a long silence, King Chu immediately summoned his closest men.

"The Kingdom of Chu may be very interesting in the future." If Lord Changping's plot is revealed in advance and the current King of Chu can take action, even if it cannot cause a big blow to the three armies, it will definitely cause them heavy losses.

It would be more interesting if the King of Chu was learning from the methods used by the Chu nobles to deal with Wu Qi.

However, Shen Fei also knew that such a thing was just a delusion. The King of Chu was not a fool, and the generals of the three armies were not comparable to Wu Qi, who had no roots in the Chu Kingdom.

The top leaders of the three major armies of the Chu State are also the three major families in the Chu State, especially the Xiang family, which is a real noble. If the King of Chu dared to ambush and assassinate such a person casually, the Chu State would definitely be in chaos immediately.

This is the drawback of the enfeoffment system. The Tenglong Legion is not dispatched by the country, but only listens to the Xiang family. It can be said to be a completely private army.

The same is true for the Shadow Tiger Legion and the Thunder Leopard Legion.

Under such circumstances, King Chu would do this unless he was really crazy.

The biggest drawback of feudal society is the death of people and the collapse of political power. Therefore, a feudal dynasty can prosper because of a strong emperor, but it can also quickly decline because of a weak emperor.

During the Warring States Period, the reforms in various countries, except for Qin, all failed for this reason, because when the king who supported the reforms died, his successors completely changed.

At that time, Qin was actually facing such a problem. Fortunately, the successor monarch of Qin insisted on this system, which led to the current strong Qin.

Under such circumstances, the military situation of Qin was much better than that of other countries.

Speaking of the reform of Chu, although it failed and Wu Qi, who reformed the country, died in the end, it must be said that he was a real ruthless person.

Speaking of Wu Qi's origin, in fact, it was similar to Li Si. He was born in a wealthy family with a lot of money. He also studied in Confucianism. His teacher was Zengzi and Li Si's teacher was Xunzi.

However, Wu Qi was not as lucky as Li Si. Although his family was rich, in the Warring States Period, especially in Wu Qi's era, if you want to be an official, you can't just be rich. You must be of noble origin. Li Si is luckier than him in this respect because the times have changed.

After that, Wu Qi killed his wife to seek a general, and moved around several countries one after another. Finally, he started to reform in Chu. Because the king of Chu who supported him died, the nobles of Chu ambushed and prepared to shoot him. After finding that he had no chance to survive, Wu Qi made a crazy decision, which was to pierce the dead king of Chu with the arrows on his body. As a result, Wu Qi died, but all the nobles who participated in shooting him were exterminated.

Even if the dead king of Chu was still the king of Chu, the succeeding king of Chu had to deal with this matter for the sake of justice and reputation, that is, the royal family could not be desecrated, and no matter what the reason for desecrating the king's body, the price must be paid.

It is said that there were more than 70 nobles who participated in shooting Wu Qi at that time, and all of them were exterminated. Even if Wu Qi died, he avenged himself. There are very few people who can do such a thing in ancient and modern times.

Qin State, Xianyang.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers."

As soon as he entered Xianyang City, Shen Fei saw several teenagers on the street, carrying backpacks and selling along the street. From time to time, people from restaurants or teahouses stopped these newspaper boys and bought a copy of the Great Qin Times.

"Li Si's actions are very quick." Seeing that many people were buying this newspaper, Shen Fei could not help but nodded slightly. After papermaking and movable type printing were invented, newspapers were also put on Shen Fei's agenda.

This is a propaganda tongue, which can be said to be a big killer in this era. The reason why Confucianism is so powerful is because it has mastered the pen.

After telling Ying Zheng about this thing, Ying Zheng handed it over to Li Si to deal with. It must be said that Li Si is really tired at this stage. He just made a six-door before, and now he is making newspapers.

But although it is very hard, Li Si is happy to do it, because his power has been growing. It can be said that now in Xianyang, who doesn't know that Li Si is a popular person and confidant in front of Ying Zheng.

"Give me a newspaper." When a newspaper boy was about to pass by him, Shen Fei also bought a newspaper.

"Li Si is indeed worthy of it. The front page headlines are all used to brag about Ying Zheng, and there is no repetition." Only Li Si can take such a fresh and unconventional photo of horses.

"Very good, it seems that Li Si knows a lot about publicity?" Except for the front page headlines bragging about Ying Zheng, the others are all about other things in Qin, such as the Zhengguo Canal that is now under construction, and the list of slaves released.

Under Shen Fei's suggestion, Ying Zheng also began to set up a model.
