Chapter 85 Great Qin’s New Year

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report from Cui Yuan!"

When the young man's voice first sounded, all the officials present couldn't help but shudder!
really!

They knew that things were far from that simple!
And the subsequent development was indeed as they expected!
As Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, Cui Yuan slowly revealed his plan to send Xu Fu's fleet to colonize the Japanese country in front of everyone.

Boom!

It was as if a meteorite fell into the earth, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked. Everyone in the palace was frightened to the point of almost suffocating!
Go to the East and colonize Japan?

What crazy ideas are these?

"Cui...Cui Neishi, are you serious?"

Li Si's forehead continued to sweat.

As he spoke, his Adam's apple couldn't help but twitch!
If the person who said this was not Cui Yuan, then he would definitely think that he was crazy.

But even Cui Yuan is still too abstract!
Meng Yi frowned and stared at this young man whom he had admired for a long time but met for the first time: "Going to sea to colonize, this kind of thing requires a huge amount of wealth."

"If it's a joke, it's not funny at all."

Fusu and Feng Quji nodded.

"Of course it's true."

Cui Yuan agreed leisurely, without fear of the attention of everyone: "As for the wealth consumed, the Japanese country has a silver mountain called Shijian. Its silver content is unparalleled in the world, and it is more than the entire Great Qin!"

"As long as you can get it, no matter how much you pay, you will get a hundredfold or even ten thousandfold return!"

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Xu Fu's disciples."

"They have arrived in Japan, so they must be aware of the richness of gold and silver there!"

Although Iwami Ginzan was officially developed 500 years later, in the late Warring States Period of Japan.

But for a silver mine with such a rich silver content, there will definitely be pure veins exposed on the surface and picked up by the local land.

In a small place like Japan with few resources and limited transportation, money could not circulate at all.

Xu Fu went to Japan many times to search for immortals, and he must have obtained silver from the local natives.

Hearing this, everyone who was still unable to understand Cui Yuan's colonization plan began to tremble violently and their minds were buzzing!
There is a Japanese country overseas with more silver reserves than the entire Qin Dynasty?
God!

With so much wealth, is this really not a fairy tale?

"Absurd, this is really outrageous!"

Seeing everyone's fascinated expressions, Guangren, Xu Fu's disciple in the crowd, panicked and immediately refuted.

He looked very angry, trying to hide the panic in his heart.

In order to inquire about the whereabouts of his master, he also attended the morning court with officials close to Xu Fu.

Originally, he was not qualified to speak, but now he really couldn't remain silent.

If Cui Yuan's plan comes true and His Majesty sends them to colonize the Japanese country and establish a stable relationship between Da Qin and the Japanese country, then where will he and his master Xu Fu go to enjoy the glory and wealth in the future?

Moreover, the Japanese money will have nothing to do with them anymore!
'Why does Cui Yuan know about the situation in Japan? '

Guangren felt like he was about to vomit blood.

"What kind of silver, what kind of Japanese country, I have never seen it at all when I went to sea many times with my master!"

Guangren firmly denies it!

"Who is your master?" Cui Yuan looked over and asked.

"Xu Fu, named Junfang!"

Guangren puffed up his chest and answered proudly, and many people around him immediately looked at him with respect.

"Cui Neishi! I advise you to give up these absurd thoughts. There are only three sacred mountains overseas, and gods live on them. Where can there be Japanese countries and silver?"

"Although you and my master are both immortals, my master has been around for hundreds of years and has seen more storms than a little immortal like you can compare with."

Guangren was aggressive and full of notes, without the slightest hint of politeness.

As the number one alchemist of the Qin Dynasty and almost an officially recognized disciple of the Immortal, Guangren has long been accustomed to showing his sage in front of others.

Although the young man in front of him is one of the Nine Qings, he is so young and not worthy of being taken seriously by him.

Ganluo was at the height of his power at the beginning, but didn’t he die in the end?

The master who survives to the end and is as steady as his scheming master is the real winner!
After saying that, he looked at Ying Zheng again, wanting to ask His Majesty to reject the boy's absurd suggestion.

However, before he could salute, he saw Ying Zheng showing a half-smiling smile.

what happened?

"Are there only three sacred mountains overseas?"

"Xu Fu seemed to have said this before he was alive."

Cui Yuan's voice sounded leisurely, as if he was talking to himself. When Guangren heard the words, he instinctively wanted to nod.

However, as soon as his chin lowered, his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning and twitched violently!
Not only him, but everyone else in the palace also widened their eyes and looked at the young man as if they had seen a ghost.

Did you really say that before you were alive?
Before his death!

"And this is what he ended up with."

Seeing everyone's gradually showing fear, Cui Yuan chuckled and waved slowly, and Wang Lixin, who was well prepared, understood.Immediately someone brought a bloody package.

Open it, and under the overwhelming smell of blood, an extremely ferocious arm is revealed!

Xu Fu’s arm!
thump!
Almost instantly, Guangren's legs softened and he knelt down.

"Why are you so scared?"

"Do you also know that Xu Fu deceived His Majesty?"

"Ah? Forgive me, this is all the fault of that bitch, Master... No, no! I don't know anything!"

The frightened Guangren instinctively wanted to admit his mistake and beg for mercy, thinking that the master had confessed and confessed to himself.

But halfway through, he immediately broke into a cold sweat and kept denying it.

However, it's all too late!

The moment he begged for mercy, Ying Zheng's originally majestic pupils were instantly filled with murderous intent.

"Drag him down. He doesn't need to be imprisoned in the sky prison. He can be chopped directly in the West City!"

Ying Zheng ordered coldly, with almost no emotion.

"Ah, no!"

Guangren screamed in despair, his pants were wet, but it was still to no avail, and he was dragged down like this.

When his screams completely disappeared, everyone present came to their senses as if waking up from a dream, and everyone's backs were soaked in cold sweat!

Especially the other Xu Fu disciples who followed Guangren, one by one, they were all trembling with fear!

"Now, do you still have any objections to Cui Neishi's arrangement?"

Ying Zheng asked calmly, as if he was not the one who had just ordered Guang Ren to be executed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining four Xu Fu disciples all bowed their heads to express their submission.

"no!"

"Guangming, Guangyi, Guangtian, and Guangwu are all subject to the arrangements of His Majesty and Cui Neishi."

While talking, the four of them trembled.

At this time, it’s okay not to obey the arrangements. They don’t want to become Guangren!
Just explore. As long as you can stay alive, you can do whatever you want them to do.

"very good."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the other civil and military ministers.

Everyone caught in his sight.They all bowed their heads and trembled in agreement.

'It seems that His Majesty has communicated with Cui Neishi in advance. '

"Your Majesty agreed to such a crazy idea. It seems that there is really a lot of money in Japan?" '

'Colonizing Japan may sound crazy, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible. Li Si, Feng Quji, Fusu and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

After so much experience, they have become human beings, even Fusu is no exception, and they will not express their opinions easily when the situation is unclear.

When Guangren stood up, he could only say that he was just out of his mind.

"Your Majesty, I have no objection."

"Everything is done according to His Majesty's will!"

"Cui Neishi's colonization plan is really brilliant!"

The ministers responded one after another.

Only Meng Yi's expression changed and he kept looking at Cui Yuan, but in the end he also chose to lower his head.

"In that case, let's start implementing this!"

"Xu Fu's four disciples, please go to Langya County immediately and prepare to sail to Japan!"

"At the same time, Cui Yuan will be rewarded with 500 taels of gold and [-] acres of land for his meritorious service, and he will be granted the title of Chief Zuo!"

Ying Zheng was smiling with a burning ambition in his eyes.

The colonial era of Great Qin has officially begun!

A treasure a hundred times more precious than sweet potatoes is coming!

……

Outside the palace, the sun rose slowly and brightly.

The civil and military officials of Da Qin walked out in confusion, with wry smiles on their faces.

They had prepared many important matters and wanted to discuss them carefully with His Majesty.

For example, the progress of the academy, the promotion of deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone, and the effectiveness of the revision of Qin's laws.

But with Cui Yuan's plan to colonize the Japanese country in front of them, their important matters naturally became not worth mentioning.

After being pushed away by His Majesty Fusu, today's morning court ended early.

"Hey~"

"Cui Shenxian really doesn't go to court. Once he goes to court, he is very active."

Li Si quickly left, adjusting his clothes.

What happened today was really too shocking. He had to go back and take a good rest to calm down.

However, as soon as he took a few steps, a hand came up to him.

Looking back in confusion, he saw Shangqing Mengyi coming to him at some unknown time.

"Prime Minister Li, can I ask you something?"

Meng Yi said, pulling Li Si away from everyone and looking at the latter intently.

"Qing Meng, what do you want to ask?"

Li Si was a little flustered. He didn't know why, but he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"It's simple."

Meng Yi's eyes were solemn: "How much do you know about Cui Neishi?"

"Ah? Why do you suddenly ask this?" Li Si looked puzzled, but couldn't help but sweat in his heart.

"Cui Neishi is Cui Neishi! My understanding of him is similar to others. He comes from after 2000, so he should be regarded as a god."

The matter regarding Cui Yuan has been regarded as the top secret of Great Qin by His Majesty.

Except for His Majesty, several of their ministers only knew part of it.

Not to mention, he also asked Cui Yuan privately about his future, and it is even more impossible to expose it now.

Meng Yi shook his head firmly: "You are lying!"

He looked at Li Si's unchanging eyes and continued: "Li Si, if there is really someone who understands you best in this world, then it is definitely me!"

"You and I have publicly quarreled in court because of our differences in political opinions many times. I know very well who you are."

"I got the news that since Cui Yuan appeared, you have been assisting him wholeheartedly."

"He constantly took the initiative to overthrow hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism. He also helped Cui Yuan create a large number of world-shattering classics and helped him preside over the Liucunbao Academy."

"A while ago, leaders of various schools of thought came to Xianyang to visit Cui Yuan. Cui Yuan avoided seeing them. It was you, Li Si, who took the initiative to greet them."

"These things may not seem like much in isolation. After all, they are His Majesty's will."

"If they are connected together..."

At this point, Meng Yi's eyes suddenly became more solemn than ever: "Li Si, was Cui Yuan caught something?"

"enough!"

Li Si was furious and pushed Meng Yi away!

"If you have so many doubts, then go to Six Village Castle and ask yourself!"

"I am walking and sitting still. I still have a lot of things to be busy with, but I don't have time to make blind guesses with you!"

After that, he left angrily without looking back.

He looked like an ordinary person who had been completely wronged!

However, Meng Yi, who was pushed away, had a meaningful smile on his face.

Although Li Si pretended to be very similar, Meng Yi could still see his disguise at a glance.

'It seems that I really need to meet Cui Yuan. '

"But I heard that he doesn't like meeting guests very much, so it's best for me not to reveal my true identity."

Meng Yi stood up, glanced in the direction Cui Yao left, and quickly disappeared in front of the palace.

……

Outside Xianyang City, inside the Liucun Fort, heavy snow was falling.

However, despite the wind and snow, every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and all the people were talking and laughing.

The cheerful atmosphere almost completely defeated the wind and snow in the sky.

In two days, it will be a very special day - the wax festival, which is also the Spring Festival of Great Qin!

Since the First Emperor's great talent and great strategy, he has unified the lands of the six kingdoms.

In order to show the greatness of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng decided to use a different calendar from the Zhou Dynasty - the Zhuanxu calendar.

That is to regard October of each year as the beginning of the next year, so the first day of October every year naturally becomes the "Spring Festival" of the Qin Dynasty.

"The Spring Festival is celebrated on the first day of October. Even if we use the new calendar of later generations, it is still only November."

"It's really outrageous. After living for more than ten years, this is the first time I have celebrated the Spring Festival so early."

"The sweet potatoes in Liucunbao Academy were planted when I opened the academy and captured Zhang Liang. That was in August. I estimate that the results will be harvested in another month."

Cui Yuan was lying in front of the window of the mansion.

He looked down at the people of Liucunbao who were not affected by the weather at all, and listened to their voices praising him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

Although he has only been in Daqin for a few months, he seems to have really done a lot for the people.

Help Liucunbao build water conservancy, open up a large amount of farmland, and promote the curved shaft plow.

Kuaiji County was almost renovated by myself.

"Next year, when the sweet potato yield is fully revealed and the first batch of college graduates come out, I should be able to do more earth-shattering things!"

Cui Yuan smiled and was just about to have a beautiful dream when the sound of Mo Xue's trotting came from behind.

"Cui Yuan, we encountered two thieves in our mansion!"
