my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 132 Everything is ready
This memento from Jiujiang Supervisor Censor reminded him subconsciously of the pair of uncles and nephews who are now dormant in Kuaiji County.

It is now the 36th year of the First Emperor. Counting the time, the pair of uncles and nephews should have already started to take action. At the beginning they raised troops in Kuaiji, and soon swept the entire Kuaiji, and then led their troops westward to capture Lujiang County.

When did you lead troops to the north to attack Jiujiang County?
When he was studying in his previous life, he didn't pay attention.

But at such a point in time, the news of the serious banditry in Jiujiang County suddenly came, and he couldn't help but raise a little vigilance. He glanced at Shi Huangdi, who was lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed and rested.

Holding the memorial in his hand, he stood up gently.

He needs to find someone, and immediately check the situation in Jiujiang County and Kuaiji County.

In the past, these trivial matters could be cleared up as long as Zhao Gao was asked. Now that Zhao Gao is gone, he is recovering from his wounds in his stable. So——Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that Zhao Gao was gone, and there was no one around Emperor Shi Huang. newcomer...

He frowned subconsciously.

This is not a good sign, if Zhao Gao's position is vacant for a long time, maybe after a few days the elder father will think of Zhao Gao again, not to mention the elder father who is used to Zhao Gao's service, even himself, suddenly It is inconvenient to lose such a capable assistant.

He just stood there holding the memorandum and hesitated for a while, and Shi Huangdi noticed it, raised his head slightly, and looked over.

"Why, something..."

Zhao Ying hesitated for a while, smiled and raised the memorial in his hand.

"It's the censor of Jiujiang County. He said that there is a banditry there, and the county guard and the county lieutenant are not doing enough to suppress the bandits. I was thinking of asking Mr. Hei what's going on there now..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shi Huang lay back down again.

"Hei has been infected with the wind and cold for the past few days, I let him go back to rest in peace—"

First Emperor first casually explained a question about Hei, and then he spoke unhurriedly.

"You said Jiujiang County, at this time of year, basically you have to toss around for a while, but there is no good way for the time being. It is next to Daze Township, full of swamps, and the road conditions are complicated. It is difficult for the local garrison to move, and the bandits are also quite Because of cunning, as long as the local garrison moves, they will retreat into the depths of the big swamp..."

Having said that, Emperor Shihuang waved his hand.

"The imperial court can't go to war and send out a large army just because of this matter. You just reprimand the local officials and order them to send troops to suppress the bandits..."

Zhao Ying nodded in agreement with a smile, sat back, followed the instructions of the first emperor, pondered for a moment, then lightly wrote, reprimanded the local officials briefly, and then ordered them to send troops to suppress the bandits.

But at the end, he added such a sentence without a trace.

"Trouble always accumulates in Huwei. Jiujiang is located in the north-south hub, close to Dashui, and it is easy to hide treacherous evil. You should be prepared for danger in times of peace and strengthen your military preparations in case of emergencies."

Then, he touched the seal of the first emperor very skillfully, and used the seal.

Although the memorandum has been dealt with, this matter remains in Zhao Ying's heart like a dark cloud, and his intuition tells him that this matter may not be simple, but he lacks enough information in his hand, and he will not be able to figure it out for a while. Where is the problem.

I can only warn a few words for the time being, I hope the local officials will be more helpful.

To his surprise, when he came out of the palace, he met Hu Hai who was leading his son and was about to enter the palace again.He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and immediately greeted him with a loud laugh.

"Uncle Shiba, unexpectedly I met you again, we two are really destined, hahaha——"

When Hu Hai heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and he laughed dryly.

"Ah, what a coincidence..."

While talking, he quietly hid behind his son.

Zhao Ying strode forward as if he hadn't seen him, and embraced Hu Hai's shoulders enthusiastically.

Hu Hai: ...

He is not short, but Zhao Ying is taller. At 1.7 meters tall, he looks like a little quail under Zhao Ying's tall and strong body.

The strong sense of oppression made him feel unspeakable discomfort.

But he still couldn't break free, and he couldn't do anything about the enthusiasm of this eldest nephew.

Every time someone meets someone, they hook their shoulders together...

Fortunately, enough is enough for Zhao Ying, a dog. He just shook Hu Hai vigorously with his arms around him, and after expressing the cordial and friendly greetings of his eldest nephew, he let go of his arms.

Hu Hai seemed to be pardoned.

This dog doesn't know where it got so much strength from. It just shook a few times just now, and the bones of his body almost fell apart.

"Is the eighteenth uncle here to pay respects to the eldest father again?"

Zhao Ying asked a question knowingly, and then reminded him in a friendly manner.

"Oh, that's really a coincidence. Elder Father just fell asleep. When you go in later, try to be careful not to disturb Elder Father's rest..."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ying waved very vigorously and left.

It was not his turn to worry about things like Hu Hai entering the palace to greet the First Emperor. As a qualified elder nephew, the only thing he could do was to make a friendly and sincere reminder.

……

Looking at Zhao Ying who was striding away, Hu Hai stood on the steps. He originally wanted to go straight in, but suddenly hesitated.

Is what that bastard Zhao Ying said true or false?

He wanted to go in now, but he was afraid that he would really disturb his family's rest, but if he didn't go in, he could only wait outside.

But he wasn't worried, although Zhao Gao was no longer in the palace, but Mr. Hei was there, how could he leave his prince outside?
I think I will come out soon and tell myself to go in.

But he waited, waited, waited for a long time, the expression on his face changed from calm to anxious, and he couldn't see the shadow of Hei.

Although he and his son were wearing good furs, it was already the end of December, the coldest season of the year...

It's just that after a while, my hands and feet became a little stiff from the cold.

At this time, he thought of Zhao Gao more and more in his heart.

If Zhao Gao was there, it would be absolutely impossible for a prince like him to wait outside at this time, so he would have to come out and give him a promise, even if A Weng was really resting, he would definitely come out and make arrangements for him A place to rest.

And now Zhao Gao...

Thinking of Zhao Gao, Hu Hai couldn't help the pain in his teeth, and couldn't help cursing in his heart.

"Zhao Ying's dog thief..."

Looking at the Eighteenth Young Master who was pacing back and forth outside the hall in the cold, the guards and maids couldn't help feeling deeply sympathetic.But they can't help it. Under the prestige of the first emperor, who of the guards and maids in the palace dare to disturb the first emperor's rest?

When His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun left, he clearly reminded him that His Majesty was asleep, so don't disturb His Majesty's rest.

Therefore, as long as Hu Hai didn't rush in, and didn't mention letting them in to report, they would simply watch their noses and noses, and pretend to be deaf and dumb there.

Hu Hai: ...

If Zhao Ying didn't remind him before leaving, he could have someone report it directly, but the problem is that Zhao Ying just "kindly" reminded him in front of so many people.

As a good son of filial piety, how could he disturb the first emperor who just fell asleep, kiss A Weng...

So, after thinking and thinking, in the end, I couldn't help but boil it down to one sentence.

"Zhao Ying, a dog thief!"

……

Zhao Ying who had just walked out of the palace gate suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Could it be that someone is thinking about me..."

Zhao Ying rubbed his nose and waved to Zhang Liang who was curled up on the shaft.

"Let's go, go back home..."

Zhang Liang vigorously rubbed his frozen cheeks, and silently waved his horsewhip.As the halberd bearer of His Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor, he will not be hungry, but there will certainly be no place for him to rest.

Poor thing, in the middle of winter, I just huddled on the shaft of the car and waited for a long time.

Zhao Ying didn't have the time to take care of him. At this moment, what he was worried about was still the banditry in Jiujiang County.

Back at the mansion, he immediately asked Zhang Liang to retrieve all the letters from Kuaiji County and Lingnan.

Ever since Jing and Qian's caravan took root in Kuaiji and Lingnan, letters would come every three days.As the team leader, Qian naturally reported the progress of his work in Lingnan in detail, but the surprising information was all the latest trends in Kuaiji County.

Naturally, he would check this information in time every time.

But the problem is, all the information shows that everything is normal in Kuaiji County.

It was so normal, so normal that there was no banditry, almost a good government and harmonious people. For this reason, during the new year in October, the imperial court specially rewarded the local prefect Yin Tong and prefect Long Ze.

But Zhao Ying, who is familiar with history, knew that the more this happened, the more abnormal it would be.

Perhaps with the cooperation of Yin Tong, a rebellious boy, and Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew, the entire Kuaiji County has been turned into an iron plate by others?
"I always feel that something is not normal..."

Zhao Ying frowned, looking at Jing's letter mailed back from Kuaiji County, his tone was a bit dignified.

"There is definitely something wrong with this Kuaiji County. Please study these letters carefully, and carefully study all the content mentioned in the information..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying glanced at Zhang Liang who was slightly surprised, and his eyes were meaningful.

Since you can't find the clues yourself, then find someone who can find it!
Wherever you walk, there must be traces.He didn't believe that for such a big matter, that group of people could really do it seamlessly.

There must be some information that I failed to notice.

"Especially all the information about the county guard Yin Tong, the county captain Longze, and a pair of uncles and nephews named Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu..."

Hearing this, Zhang Liang subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Zhao Ying. Seeing that Zhao Ying's face was calm, with no expression of joy or anger in his eyes, his heart tightened immediately, and he bowed and said.

"promise--"

Zhang Liang squatted down with a lot of letters to study. Although it was a bit boring, the study room was as warm as spring, compared to the feeling of squatting on the front gate of the palace waiting for someone——

Gee, really fragrant!

Zhang Liang felt that it was time for him to take a look at the former CRRC magistrate. If he could survive, it was best not to let him die.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape from my job of driving for a while.

After handing over the task to Zhang Liang, Zhao Ying stopped worrying about it and turned around to go to the paper mill.

The former farm of their family has now completely turned into a large paper mill. Next to the paper mill is a printing factory that works day and night to print "The Soul of the Army".

Now this farm, in the name of military training, has been included in the scope of the recruit camp and has become a restricted area.

Ordinary people, apart from feeling that the water flowing through the farm has become a little dirty, they don't feel anything unusual.

In this era, even if they had doubts, they would never have imagined that such a large paper mill would be hidden.

"Son—"

As soon as he entered the farm, Mo greeted him with surprise when he got the news.

Now he is steward of the estate, in charge of everything from the paper mill to the printing house.Under Mo's leadership, Zhao Ying personally checked the progress of the paper mill and printing factory.

Seeing that there were no mistakes, he gave a few words of encouragement, and then rewarded each craftsman who worked overtime with one hundred coins as usual, and then turned and left amidst cheers and cheers.

Now, everything is ready, and tomorrow I can tell my father to launch the first step of the plan.

However, before that, I still need to settle another matter.

Seeing that it was still early, he didn't go back to his residence, but turned his horse's head and went directly to Xishui Cottage in the west of the city.

Today's Xishui Thatched Cottage has lost the shabby look of the three or two huts in the past.

Since receiving the support of the first emperor, the scale has expanded rapidly. Centered on the thatched cottage where Chunyuyue lived, it has now become a place with an area of ​​tens of acres and hundreds of houses.

The staff has also become overcrowded from the dozen or so disciples who swore to follow them.Almost all Confucian disciples in Xianyang regard this place as a Confucian dojo.

Everywhere you can see Confucian scholars who study hard with slips in their hands, or scholars who hold swords and sit and talk about Taoism.

There are also those who play the piano, ride horses, and shoot arrows...

There are even those who drive chariots and fight on the newly opened martial arts arena.

Zhao Ying: ...

He suddenly understood why Confucius was able to travel around the world with a group of disciples.

How can this be those scholars who only know what to say and have no power to restrain chickens in the impression of later generations?This is simply a group of robed thugs armed with knowledge and brains.

Zhao Ying was too tall, and the Dawan horse he was leading was also very handsome. Although he was walking, he still stood out from the group of people, so he attracted the attention of many people along the way.

But no one would gather around curiously to watch the excitement.

After all, this place is a sacred place for Confucianism to study, and those who come here are all scholars who admire Mr. Chunyuyue's knowledge.

Everyone should pay attention to some decency.

Therefore, it was only when Mr. Chunyuyue walked to the door of thatched cottage that Zhuo Yi, who was wearing a robe and a long sword hanging from his waist, was reading in front of the door, discovered his arrival.

Get up and walk quickly to him, bow and salute.

"Student Zhuo Yi, I have met His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor. His Highness came from a long way, and he was greeted by a long distance. He hoped to forgive his sin..."

Zhao Ying smiled and cupped his hands in return.

"Brother Zhuo, you don't need to be too polite. I'm here today to ask Mr. Chunyuyue—"

Having said that, Zhao Ying looked around and asked with a smile.

"May I ask if Mr. Chunyuyue is in..."
