Chapter 190: The Qin and Han Dynasties (To be rescheduled tomorrow morning)
Xianyang City of the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng looked at the officials standing at the jade steps and couldn't help but smile.

Civil and military officials sat on both sides of the court.

Standing on the right are Li Si, Wang Wan, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others, and on the left are Meng Tian, ​​Zhang Han, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and others. Fusu, who has been made the crown prince, is standing on one side. Now he has all the civil and military officials in his hands. With the current development of the Qin Dynasty, it will be difficult for him to lose.

At this time Fusu stood up.

"Father, the chief craftsman of the Xianyang General's Office has come to report that the papermaking technique provided by you has produced a finished product. The quality is excellent and can be mass-produced. Please go and take a look!"

Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, this was a good thing.

Papermaking is an extremely important invention. After that, there was no need to rely on those bulky bamboo slips, and it was also much more convenient to spread the policies of the Qin Dynasty to various places.

"In that case, Fusu, you, Meng Tian, ​​and Zhang Liang will accompany me on this journey!"

Crown Prince Fusu nodded, and then couldn't help but glance sideways at Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang is so young and yet he is appreciated by my father. He is definitely not an ordinary person. It seems that I need to communicate more with this young man in the future.

After the other ministers left the court, Ying Zheng brought the three men to the Military Construction Bureau under the escort of the Qin cavalry.

The Western White Tiger is in charge of killing and is good at weapons. The Chief of Works is located in the west of Xianyang City, occupying a very large area. It is surrounded by fully armed Qin soldiers.

The General Administration of Works was extremely important to the Qin Dynasty. Since King Huiwen, all the weapons and armor used to annex the six kingdoms came from this place. It was the top priority of the Qin Dynasty.

At this time, a muscular man and a group of shirtless craftsmen had been waiting here for a long time.

When they saw Ying Zheng coming to this place, they were extremely excited and fell to their knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, I, the master architect Bai Gui, greet you!"

Ying Zheng walked out of the summer carriage, looked at the chief architect in front of him with a smile, and helped him up.

"No need to be polite. The master craftsman has worked tirelessly for the country of Great Qin and has made great contributions to the country. He is worthy of being a descendant of the Qin people!"

The master architect Bai Gui was extremely excited when he heard this.

Over the years, Li Si, Wei Liao, Han Teng and others who were trusted by Ying Zheng were all from the Six Kingdoms. The Meng, Xi and Bai tribes had already declined, but their children were still working hard for the eternal rule of the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng's words were an affirmation of them.

"I, Bai Gui, thank your majesty for your grace on behalf of all the old Qin people!"

Zhang Liang on the side was very silent.

As expected of an old Qin man, even in this situation he did not have the slightest intention of rebelling.

If South Korea could also be so united, it would not have become the first country to be destroyed among the six countries.

"I heard that the paper has been developed. Can you take me to see it?"

Bai Gui's eyes were full of joy and he nodded quickly.

"Your Majesty, please follow me!"

Bai Gui led everyone past the room where the craftsmen were and came to a secret room. The secret room was guarded by sixteen warriors in black armor. The eyes of these sixteen men were full of cold murderous intent.

Zhang Liang felt cold sweat on his back. Could this be the strongest Iron Eagle Warriors of Qin? He never thought they actually existed.

Ying Zheng took out a token, and the leading Iron Eagle Warrior checked the token, then opened the door behind him and let everyone in.

After entering, everyone gasped. The place was filled with all kinds of books and volumes, which were dazzling.

Ying Zheng said with emotion.

"This place is the real foundation of our Qin State. Our Qin State's powerful bows and crossbows are unrivaled in the world, and the manufacturing process and technology have been improved generation after generation. What is recorded here are those drawings!"

At this time, Bai Gui was holding a piece of snow-white paper and kneeling on one knee in front of Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, this is the paper that I will make for the prison. This paper is extremely simple to make and comes in huge quantities. It can be used to record text!"

"This auspicious omen is a blessing for scholars all over the world. I congratulate Your Majesty!"

Fusu, who was standing by, picked up a brush dipped in ink and handed it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and a flamboyantly written character "Qin" appeared on the paper.

The word was written on the paper very smoothly, without a trace of ink or blockage.

Ying Zheng was extremely proud that he had finally mastered the papermaking technique.

"Hahaha, good, with this treasure, the strength of my Great Qin has been further improved. You have made great contributions!"

Bai Gui was extremely happy to hear this.

"Everything is thanks to your majesty's wisdom. God has bestowed this divine object upon me. I am only carving it. This is my duty, and I dare not claim any credit for it!"

Ying Zheng stared at Bai Gui and seemed to be in a good mood.

"If I say you have made a contribution, then you have made a contribution. I hereby decree that the master craftsman of papermaking will be awarded the title of Hairpin Owl for his contribution to papermaking. I also order the Supervisor of Works to speed up production. From now on, all documents of our Great Qin will be replaced by this thing!"

The master architect Bai Gui was extremely delighted.

"Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty. I will serve as the supervisor to receive your order!"

Ying Zheng smiled and looked at Zhang Liang beside him.

"Zifang, what do you think of my Great Qin?"

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and said.

"Your Majesty the First Emperor has greater virtue than the Three Sovereigns and greater achievements than the Five Emperors. Now he has obtained such a divine object. I admire you very much. From this point of view, the six countries did not lose unfairly!"

When the First Emperor saw Zhang Liang's expression, he burst into laughter.

"I heard that Zhang Liang once thought of assassinating me and restoring your former homeland of Korea. Do you still have this thought now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Tian, ​​who was standing by, stared at Zhang Liang with his hand already on the hilt of the sword.

Zhang Liang was startled and spoke hurriedly.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I did not have such an idea. Now I have figured it out. The way Qin is doing things now will benefit the present and future generations. Although my Zhang family has served as prime ministers of Han for three generations, it is still my family's world after all!"

"And what the Great Qin is doing now is to take the people of the world into consideration. The six countries are far behind!"

Ying Zheng felt extremely proud when he heard these words.

Although Xiao He, Fan Kuai, and Zhou Bo had some abilities, they were all commoners after all, and their ability to accept the Qin Dynasty was much better than Zhang Liang's.

Zhang Liang served as prime minister of Han for three generations. It can be said that he was extremely loyal to Han. It was rare to be recognized by him.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Liang's expression and couldn't help but want to laugh.

It would be great if I could take a picture of this scene, and then show it to Zhang Liang when I get back to the school.

At the same time, in Chang'an City, a rumbling sound was heard from a Taoist temple.

The loud noise scared the people around, and those who didn't know thought it was a backflow and a lightning strike.

The Taoist boy outside the door hurried inside.

The Taoist temple was in a mess at this time. The alchemy furnace that was in use before was blown to pieces. Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang who were conducting research inside were covered in black, but they were still shouting excitedly.

"Master Taoist, I have succeeded!" A voice came from Song Shen's mind.

[Ding! It is detected that Datang has produced gunpowder, and the score is +100]

Song Shen's eyes lit up.

I didn't expect Li Shimin to act so quickly. He has already made gunpowder. It seems that weapons related to gunpowder will be available soon. The first time in history that gunpowder was used in military affairs seemed to be the Tang Dynasty. I don't know what level the Tang Dynasty, which acquired gunpowder technology in advance, will reach.

When Li Shimin heard the news, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"What did you say?"

"Did Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang really make gunpowder?"

The soldier who came to report nodded hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case. The explosion was extremely loud and half of the people in the city heard it. Taoist Priest Li and Taoist Priest Yuan are now recording the process!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin burst into laughter.

This is really good news.

According to what Song Shen said.

Gunpowder will be a major development trend in the future, and if it is made into a weapon, it will have the ability to destroy the world.

Now the first step is to make gunpowder, and the next step is to make this gunpowder into various weapons.

When that time really comes, no matter who the Turks, Shiwei, Tubo, or Goguryeo are, they will all submit to the threat of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Li Shimin wanted to share this good news with others.

At this time he spoke directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was reviewing memorials in the Huagai Hall, suddenly saw Li Shimin's call and was very confused.

I don’t know why Li Shimin suddenly came to see me.

"Brother Li, is there something important that you are looking for me so late at night?"

Li Shimin said excitedly.

"Old Zhu, I have done it. I have already produced the gunpowder. I believe it won't take long before it can be used in the army!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised to hear this. He didn't expect Li Shimin to act so quickly.

"Then congratulations! The Tang Dynasty is already very powerful, and with these firearms, its strength must be extraordinary!"

"I still have some methods for making firearms. They may be outdated, but they should be better than those in the Tang Dynasty. I will send you the production drawings of these firearms later!"

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This is good news.

Song Shen once said that among the three major camps in the Ming Dynasty, the Shenji Camp was extremely powerful.

In particular, the various types of firearms are extremely powerful, such as the French cannon, the red cannon, the swarm of cannons, etc.

With these, the Sixteen Guards of the Northern Yamen and the Imperial Guards of the Southern Yamen can be equipped with new clothes.

"In that case, thank you very much, Old Zhu. If you need any help in the future, just let me know!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded.

He was very happy to hear Li Shimin's words.

Both Tang and Ming were extremely powerful dynasties, and more communication would be beneficial to them.

When Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng saw the connection between Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang, he couldn't help but frowned.

These two guys can actually contact each other privately. I saw that their relationship was very unusual before. Could it be that they have secretly formed an alliance? Thinking of this, he secretly cried out in his heart that it was not good.

If this is true, it would be very disadvantageous for him.

At this time he looked at Meng Tian who was standing aside and said.

"Meng Tian, ​​I never thought that Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty could even produce gunpowder. But don't you think his relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang has become a little close recently?"

Meng Tian frowned, thought about it carefully, and nodded.

"It seems to be true. I always feel like they can be connected to each other!"

"But is this possible?"

Ying Zheng nodded.

"It seems that Master Song has never said before that we can't have any private contact with each other!"

"I want something that is extremely important. It seems that we in the Great Qin should also put it on the agenda. I heard that there is a Roman Empire in the west that claims to be the most powerful country. We must confront them when the time comes!"

"If before this, we have to find an ally by all means. Now it is certain that without the help of Zhu Yuanzhang and the Ming Dynasty, Li Shimin's gunpowder may not be so easy to make. If they unite, we can also unite with others!"

Meng Tian said with some doubt.

"But apart from Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang, the only one who can contact us is Liu Che, but they are descendants of Liu Bang, this..."

Meng Tian was a little worried. After all, it was the Han Dynasty that replaced the Qin Dynasty. If they formed an alliance with the Han Dynasty, His Majesty might not have some reservations. It was definitely not a good choice.

Ying Zheng glanced at Meng Tian and immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, I won't think too much about things that haven't happened. Now that Zhao Gao and Hu Hai are gone, Fusu has been made the crown prince by me, and I have almost dug out all the young men in Fengpei who can be used under him!"

"If Daqin continues to develop like this, its vitality will only grow stronger. If Liu Laosan doesn't have the help of these people, how can he achieve great things?"

"What's more, Liu Che was a great leader when he attacked the Xiongnu in the north. There's nothing shameful about forming an alliance with him!"

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng made a decision and secretly contacted Liu Che. When Liu Che learned that Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang had already formed an alliance, he agreed to this matter without hesitation.

The next day, several people just arrived in the classroom.

Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang were getting along very well, while on the other side, Ying Zheng and Liu Che were also having a very pleasant chat.

This shocked Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang. Could it be that Liu Che and Ying Zheng had also formed an alliance? It seemed possible.

Li Shimin said after a hearty laugh.

"It's rare that the Han Dynasty destroyed the Qin Dynasty. Now the monarchs of the two dynasties have united together. It's really interesting!"

"If Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, heard this news, what would he think?"

Liu Che snorted coldly when he heard this.

"It was the young Xiang Yu who destroyed the Qin Dynasty. Although my great Han Emperor Gaozu was also one of the princes, he treated Qin III Ziying with kindness and did not do anything disrespectful!"

"What's more, most of the systems of our Han Dynasty were inherited from the Qin Dynasty. Even if we form an alliance, it should be natural!"

"It seems that there is no connection between you and Tang Ming. Tang Ming can form an alliance, let alone Qin Han!"

Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips.

"There is nothing wrong with the Ming Dynasty inheriting the Tang system from a moral point of view. Moreover, the red-lettered iron certificate left by Emperor Zhaozong of Tang can also be used in the Ming Dynasty. This may be the fate of the Tang and Ming dynasties!"
