Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 205, Ziyou: Are there any rich and powerful families in Bashu?

Looking at the group of people, Ziyou felt that his innocence was gone.

"The reason I want to go to Shu is to go to Mount Shu to find Yu Yuan's guards." Ziyou said helplessly, and then went to Yu Yuan for help when he had problems with his skills. He didn't say anything about Bai Yifei, after all, Bai Yifei was a general , I also have the ability, it would be a pity if it was affected by this incident.

"What's wrong with the teacher's exercises?" Ying Zheng asked.

The importance of Ziyou to the Qin State is self-evident. Ziyou cannot be lost in any of Qin's internal reforms. Ziyou's influence on the Qin State has reached every aspect. It can be said that Ziyou is like Qin State now. At the beginning, Shang Jun was against Qin during the reform period.

"It's not a big problem. Senior Bei Mingzi said that if I go to Yuyuan, there is hope to solve it. There is no solution in the Confucian classics. The teacher also said that Yuyuan has a solution." Ziyou said.

Hearing Ziyou's words, everyone let go of their worries helplessly. The big men of Confucianism and Taoism all said that Yu Yuan had a way, so what else could they say?
"Then I'll leave it to you to reward and show your widowhood, Mr. Qin Wangling will hold it. With this token, you can mobilize all the people in Sichuan, and ask Sima Chang to accompany the teacher." Ying Zheng said.

Ziyou took over the king of Qin and ordered Zhao Gao to hand over the imperial edict to reward the widow Qing to Ziyou. The small meeting held by Yingzheng ended like this. After that, Ziyou went to the Academy of Sciences first. At this time, Qin Mo and the public loser It has entered the state, and there are endless disputes and beatings in the Academy of Sciences.

Xiang Liguan and Gong Shuchou took blueprints to teach their disciples how to forge Korean crossbows and sharp swords.

"Patriarch, Master Wang is here."

"Master, Master Wang is here."

Xiangliguan and Gongshuchou put down the blueprints in their hands and asked the disciples to build it first, and the two of them came to welcome Ziyou.

"Sir." The two saluted and said.

After returning the gift, Ziyou took out the steel frying method and the blueprint of the blast furnace and said

"I'm here to send you blueprints, take a look at this."

One of the two held the blueprint of the blast furnace, and the other looked at the steel frying method. The expressions of the two were also very horrified, because this kind of forging technology far exceeds the existing technology in South Korea. You just gave them new technology, is this going to exhaust them to death?
"The method of frying steel is only a transitional stage. There are still a few methods I have conceived later. Take a closer look. The focus should be on the method of frying steel. Now several iron ores discovered by geologists are being mined. After you master them Send disciples to the armory workshop to cooperate in the replacement of more than half of the army's weapons, and you should also think about the improvement of armor." Ziyou said,
Originally, Ziyou wanted to use the cold forging method of the later generations of Xixia. The armor pieces made by the cold forging method are very hard and thin, and then threaded with ropes to form a complete armor.

Cold forging armor is Xixia's winning weapon against the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. The soft, thin and extremely tough armor can not only improve the defensive ability of soldiers, but also reduce the physical consumption of armor on soldiers.Moreover, cold-forged armor is more suitable for cavalry. The armor of the Qin cavalry is very heavy now, which not only affects the knight's movements, but also places a heavy burden on the horse, and the long-distance march wears a lot.

But the cold forging technology is unclear, so I just proposed a general method, let Qin Mo and the public loser see if it can be reproduced. As for the subsequent hundred forging steel and pouring steel methods, the steel frying method is needed as the basis. Create a block-hardened carburized steel with sufficient texture, and then go through a lot of tempering. Now the steel frying method is enough, and you can slowly study it later.

"No!" The two said, clasping hands.

"You study it slowly. I'm going to visit Sichuan. If you have any problems, you should study it yourself. If you really can't solve it, wait for me to come back." Ziyou said.

"promise!"

Xiangliguan and Gongshuchou looked at the paper in their hands, and felt a great pressure. It was obviously a few thin sheets of paper, but they felt extra heavy. If a word of the things recorded on it was leaked, they would have to sit down, but also, If they thoroughly researched the above things, they would be famous in history. Both of them are now thinking of mobilizing the elite disciples in the school to study, and they must study something before Ziyou comes back.

After explaining the matter of the Academy of Sciences, Ziyou returned to his master Wang's mansion. He planned to take Shao Siming, Concubine Yan and Yan Lingji with him on this trip. It is a person who has a certain connection with Shushan Yuyuan.

Before Jingxi felt bored and wanted to find something to do, Ziyou asked Jingxi and Black and White Xuanjian to take charge of the defense work of the Academy of Sciences. As for Xuenv, she has recently become obsessed with cooking for some reason, stealing art in Dingxianglou every day, This time Yu Yuan's trip didn't know what would happen, so he didn't think about taking her with him.

At this time, the team in charge of guarding Ziyou is already waiting at the east gate of Xianyang. Ziyou is going on behalf of the king, and there are support and guards. Sima Chang, who was involved in the incident, was also among the waiting crowd. When the surrounding soldiers saw Ziyou approaching, their eyes were full of enthusiasm. After the war of attacking Korea, Ziyou's prestige in the army was no less than that of Wang Jian and Meng Wu.

"Sima Chang pays homage to Master Wang." Sima Chang saluted his son.

Ziyou looked at Sima Chang. Sima Chang's ancestor was Sima Cuo, a general of the Qin State. Sima Cuo was the one who attacked Shu. Later, Sima Cuo sent troops from Shu to take Qianzhong County of Chu. When a rebellion happened, Sima Cuo was left in Shu to suppress and govern Shu County. Since then, the Sima family has taken root in Shu County. Relying on Sima Cuo's prestige and management, the Sima family's prestige in Shu is very high.

According to the foundation of the Sima family in the Qin court, Sima Chang should not be just a refined official, but Sima Jin, the grandson of Sima Cuo, was the deputy general of Wu An Jun Bai Qi. When Wu An Jun Bai Qi was bestowed to death in Du You, Sima Jin Follow Bai Qi on the road together.

As for the assassination of Bai Qi by the sixth elder of the farm family, Ziyou knew the inside story, and relied on the six masters to try to kill Wu Anjun Bai Qi, isn't this a joke?Bai Qi is not the kind of general who wins by simply relying on resourcefulness. Bai Qi was killed in the Qin Army Death Squad with Wei Ran at the beginning.

As for the fact that Bai Qi was bestowed to death is a secret of the Qin royal family, no one knows about it except King Qin Zhaoxiang, but the liquidation of Bai Qi’s power in the army is true, and the Sima family was also cleared out in this liquidation , although the Sima family is from the old Qin, but the Sima family is too close to the Chu family.

"Well, were you born in Shu County?" Ziyou asked.

"Yes, Xiaguan's family is in Shu County. Later, the prefect of Shu County appreciated him and recommended Xiaguan to Xianyang. Now he is serving as an iron official under the Shaofu." Sima Chang said, although the iron official did not look very good, but he He is the official responsible for the national iron smelting industry under Shaofu's command. Although his reputation is not obvious, he still has great real power. Under the Yantie official camp, both Yanguan and Tieguan are officials with real power.

It's just that this official position has great power in the local area, but it is not enough in Xianyang, especially in Qin State where Qin laws are strict, so Sima Chang is also conscientious and does not dare to slack off or make mistakes in the slightest. He is already the Sima family of the fringe family of Qin State It's not easy to have him infiltrating into the central government. If he makes mistakes again, then the Sima family will really never have a bright future.

"Well, tell me about Shu County on the way." Ziyou said.

Ziyou didn't go back to the carriage, but got on the horse and followed Sima Chang, and the surrounding soldiers walked on both sides to protect the two of them.

"I don't know what Master Wang wants to ask?" Sima Chang asked cautiously. Ziyou was under one person in the court of the Qin Dynasty, above ten thousand people, and had a high position and authority. His disciples and former officials were all over the court of the Qin Dynasty. Sima Chang had to Be cautious, although the current Sima family is still powerful in Shu County, but in front of a powerful figure like Ziyou, they are just bigger ants.

"Tell me about the famous families in Bashu now." Ziyou said.

"Yes, the land of Bashu is fertile and rich in products. Since the former Li Taishou built Dujiangyan, he has turned it into a land of abundance. Relying on the rich products and the reputation of Sichuan silk, there are many merchants in Shu. These merchants It can be regarded as not forgetting the roots. After doing business abroad, he will not forget to return to his hometown. Building roads and bridges has also won a lot of public opinion.

So far, there are four famous big families in the land of Bashu.One is the family of the widow Qing. The husband of the widow Qing is a descendant of the former Ba royal family of the Berkshire family, called Ba Zimo.After the demise of the Ba Kingdom, the Ba royal family declined. Later, Ba Zimo used the art of merchants to revive the Ba people. Unfortunately, the sky was jealous of the talents and died young. Later, the widow Qing accepted her husband's favor by forceful means. Business, and relying on the excavated Dan mines to continuously expand the business site, it is said that Widow Qing's family has tens of thousands of servants, including thousands of guards.

The second is the descendants of Li Bing, the prefect of Shu County at the time. They have developed to this day relying on the prestige of Li Taishou. The third is the Chen family. The Chen family is an old family in Bashu. The family has a very high prestige in both Bashu and Sichuan, and the fourth is "Sima Chang glanced at Ziyou with some hesitation.

"The fourth is your Sima family, right?" Ziyou looked at Sima Chang and said.

Sima Chang glanced at Ziyou and said, "Yes, the ancestor Sima Cuo quelled the rebellion in Shu three times and had a very high prestige in Shu. In order to prevent another rebellion in Shu, King Zhaoxiang changed the country into a county and let the ancestor take charge of the rebellion. The first prefect, from then on the Sima family took root in Shu to prevent another rebellion in Shu."

The two countries of Ba and Shu were destroyed by the Qin State at the same time. At the beginning, the Ba and Shu countries asked Qin for help, hoping that Qin would take action to destroy each other. Under Zhang Yi's proposal, they agreed to the request of the Shu State to destroy Ba, and the Shu State welcomed the army into the city. When King Qin Wu was still a son, he and Wei Ran Baiqi attacked the capital of Ba at night, and destroyed Ba in one fell swoop.

Because of Qin's behavior of tearing up the covenant and stabbing its allies in the back, the King of Shu was angry. There was a rebellion, and every rebellion was led by Sima Cuo, the general who captured Bashu in the first place. With three counter-rebellions and the first prefect to govern Shu County, the Sima family's prestige among the people of Shu County is no less than that of the original Shu County. The royal family is gone.

"Is there still a rebellion in Shu?" Ziyou asked suddenly.

"I don't know about this. I have been away from home for more than five years, and I have never heard of my father mentioning it in the family letters." Sima Chang said with cold sweat running down his back.

At the beginning, the rebellion in Shu was instigated by the big clan in Shu, and Ziyou attacked Han and killed all the nobles in South Korea. In the hearts of the rich and powerful, Ziyou is already the most terrifying existence, because Ziyou said to kill your whole family and kill you For the whole family, Ziyou first asked about the big clans in Bashu, and then asked about the rebellion. Sima Chang couldn't help but suspect that Ziyou had other secret missions in his trip to Shu this time, such as killing them, the big clans of Bashu.
