Country and Beauty

Xie Fei was determined to return, because this troop mainly consisted of cavalry, their marching speed was very fast, although there were many mountains in the central region of Shu, which was not good for cavalry to advance quickly. After half a month, he could finally resist going outside of Qin State, the capital of Qin State.

When he thought of how he was going to return home soon, reunite with Mingyue, Susu, Shu'er, Ru Yan, Woman Wan, and the other wangfei, his heart warmed as he lost himself in thought. Suddenly, Xie Fei seemed to have sensed something, and looked far ahead into the distance. A huge team appeared at the end of the official road. Xie Fei quickly took out his binoculars to take a look, only to see a beautiful woman with a body as slender as the moon, long and curvy, her clothes fluttering in the wind, a beautiful white figure with a waist as light as a fold, walked to the very front of the group. Taking a closer look at that beautiful figure, her elegant, clear, lotus-like face seemed to have been tempered by the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. Her entire body was shining with a faint light, like a fairy descending to the earth.

Xie Fei looked at the figure and shuddered, all the pores on his body opened up, his blood boiling with excitement: It's her! Bright Moon!

How many nights of tossing and turning, of intense yearning! How many battlefields, how many times did he need her? How many times have we shared life and death together?! Experiencing hardships! There was no need for him to be moved by his emotions at that moment. Only she could make Xie Fei completely forget about his identity, emperor, Jiang Shan and his way to kill her! If Xie Fei had broken Zhuge Mingyue's tranquil heart, then Zhuge Mingyue was also deciding on Xie Fei's monarch heart!

"Mingyue." Your husband is here. Bright Moon. "Your husband is here!" Xie Fei shouted as he galloped away. The horse shot out like an arrow from a bow.

Every few meters, Xie Fei felt his longing for his grow stronger. What is distance, what is distance! Space, time, time, and time were not important. Xie Fei was still a few hundred meters away from Zhuge Mingyue, but he had already felt that his heart and Mingyue's heart had already tightly merged together. No, they had never been separated!

Xie Fei left the Western Regions in August 311, transferred to Ba Shu, and returned to the Upper State in the middle of June 312. It took him nearly a year. Over three hundred days and nights, the two of them had experienced the pain of yearning for each other, especially for Zhuge Mingyue, who took the opportunity when the Qin Army's main forces were out in the western region to attack, and took the opportunity to enter. Zhuge Mingyue could not help but to have to shoulder the Qin State's situation and all the rights to live and die, and also have to worry for Xie Fei's safety countless of nights.

"Darling …" "Darling …" Even though the moon was so bright and soft, tears still fell from her eyes. She sobbed and called out to her husband, her tears soaking his clothes. It was warm and peaceful!

It turned out that in his heart, the weight of the bright moon was actually this heavy. It wasn't just because of her purity, her celestial beauty, or her spirit energy, but because they had intertwined with each other's souls. This couple was originally one, and Xie Fei even felt that if he lost the bright moon, he would rather not have the domination of rivers and mountains!

"Mingyue, Mingyue, your husband misses you!"

Zhuge Mingyue smiled, causing the atmosphere to change and the color of hundreds of flowers to pale, she chuckled: "You, you actually knew how to come back, have caused me to be worried to death." As she said this, he wiped away her tears. The bitterness and grievance in her heart had all poured out at this moment.

Xie Fei hugged Zhuge Mingyue's waist, and snuggled up to her silently. The cool wind blew and caused their clothes to flutter, her black hair to flutter, as though they were a pair of immortal lovers.

Amongst them were the Prime Minister Wang Meng, the Minister of Revenue Xie Kun, Lu Zhan, Pei Xian, Xun Chuo and more than ten other important officials of the Qin State. They all followed the queen to welcome the return of the king. The civil officials performed civil and official ceremonies and the military generals marched. A hundred thousand soldiers neatly said, "We pay our respects to the Duke of Qin, thousand years, thousand years!"

I, Xie Fei, have returned to the Upper State. From now on, the world shall see a great war, with heroes fighting, the human tide will change, history will change, and I, Xie Fei, will definitely return to the Upper State, sweep away all of the enemies, and achieve my ambition!

I, Xie Fei, will not show any mercy when I attack again. I will make all of you submit at my feet! Not only will I make the inferior clans become history, I will also make the Pirate State become the dust of history. " Xie Fei stood tall and upright, an impulse to shout into the sky filled his chest, his essence and spirit completely merged with his heart of an emperor, it was unavoidable!

At this time, in front of the group welcoming Xie Fei, Xie Fei saw a white-haired old man kneeling down at the side of the road with a cup in hand, wanting to toast Xie Fei. It was obvious that Xie Fei was a modern man. The old man passed the wine cup to Xie Fei and said: His Highness Duke of Qin, you are the reborn parent of our Qin State citizens, with you, we no longer have to worry about you, and in the past, whenever we meet with winter, we would always worry about the Karakorum who would come to our place to rob and kill us, and in these many years, which family didn't get killed by the abductors, and which families did not get robbed by them? Now that we have the His Highness Duke of Qin, we don't have to worry about them anymore, so I represent the townspeople in the streets to toast this bowl of wine to you, hoping that you will never win against me, not only my people, but also protect the entire Da Jin.

As long as I am in the Qin State, I will definitely not let the other races come to my Qin State to cause trouble. When the time comes, I will send my teachers to the east to exterminate the Huns, and in addition to being humble, I will also help create a new territory for the Da Jin. I will let the other races know, those who have violated the heavenly might of my Da Jin, although they will be executed far away. With that, Xie Fei took the wine cup from the old man's hand and finished it in one gulp.

Hearing Xie Fei's words, the surrounding citizens immediately burst into applause. At the same time, no matter if it was the citizens, or the soldiers surrounding Xie Fei, even the cowardly Wen Chen raised the weapons and fists in their hands, and shouted loudly: "Even though we are far, we must be killed! "Even if it is far, it must be destroyed?"

After returning to the city, Xie Fei brought the army into the army camp and ordered them to take three days off. The Clerk Officer was ordered to review the rewards based on the military exploits recorded. Xie Fei then handed over the rewards to the soldiers, the grants for the wounded, and the pensions for the soldiers who died in battle. Ji Zi Chen, Li Yue Yao, and Ming Zhu entered the Qin Palace.

Luo Yi Yuan. When Ji Zichen, Li Yueyao, and Ming Zhu saw Li Susu, Shui Ruyan, Sima Shu, and the Woman Wan, all of them felt as if they were beauties. The alluring charm they exuded made them unconsciously feel a sense of pity for her, as they recalled that they were from a different clan and that although they were one of the top beauties in the clan, they were still able to differentiate the pros and cons. They were afraid that they would be looked down upon in the future. They couldn't help but feel a faint sadness in their hearts.

As the proverb goes, a separation is better than a marriage. Xie Fei and the other consorts had been separated for nearly a year; That night, Xie Fei displayed his might and used a method to defeat them. He used his extraordinary body to satisfy the other consorts.

On the second day, Xie Fei began to reform and rule the Qin State. The biggest change from the past was that Xie Fei had introduced the year-end examination system for officials, adding a permanent establishment in the Qin State's Shang Shu Province, called the Supervisor's Office. Xie Fei had appointed his own Director, Wang Meng, Lu Zhan and Xie Kun were his assistants, as well as a few other officials. Their main mission was to go to different places and find out the situation of the officials at various levels from the local citizens and officials of the local County s. At the same time, they would observe whether or not these officials were competent, and conduct unified examinations at the end of each year. Performance evaluation is the main way to promote Qin State officials. For those who are basically competent, suggestions are put forward to improve them so that they can take advantage of the situation and improve it further. For those who are incompetent, they are all replaced.

At the same time, the Inspectorate has a function to deal with corruption. The inner guards of the Imperial Secret Service mainly monitor the loyalty of the civil and military officials of the Qin State, but they also severely punish those who are greedy and take bribes. No matter how powerful he was, as long as he had bad character, he would have no place in the Qin State. At the same time, Xie Fei had also merged with the previous County, establishing the entire Western Region in the Western Region. Qin (Cool) Prefecture was established in Qin Prefecture. The government is in the upper states of the capital. Liang Prefecture was within the Hanzhong. Sichuan was located in Chengdu. The map of the Qin State now included the five provinces. More than 11 million people, including more than 6 million Chinese. According to the records of the chaotic times of Wu Hu, during the period of Wei, Jin and Nan Bei, the total population of the Han people was less than 4 million. Due to the arrival of Xie Fei, several bloody massacres did not occur in history. With the destruction of the country, the former Leng nation was born to die. The former Leng Wang Chen An became the Eastern General of the Qin State. The former head of the Huns was also compressed by Xie Fei into a small area at the junction of the Shuo, Yong and Ji regions. Most of them were held in Shi Le's hands, there was a certain degree of restoration in history. Although Xie Fei had greatly injured the vitality of the Liu Clan, but right now, Shi Le was even more powerful than he was in history.

At this time, Liu Cong was already over forty years old. His hair that used to be as black as crow feathers was now full of silver threads. But other than the sadness of this old man, Liu Cong also felt a kind of deep-seated terror in his heart. Although Liu Cong had eliminated Liu He and became the emperor, he still failed to take over the capital Luoyang and destroy it as he wished. However, at this time, the head of the Karma Clan, Shi Le, with over a hundred thousand subjects had already made up his mind to unify the world using the way of an overlord. In fact, Shi Le had the support and cooperation of other troops under the command of the Liu Clan, and thus became a unit of the Hun Clan, flying across the battlefield. When Xie Fei was in the Western Region, Shi Le had sent out his generals Shi Hu, Qixiong, Huyan Mo, Wang Yang, Peach Leopard, Gu Ming and Wu Yu to sweep the prefectures. In this war, Shi Le had won a lot, and his power had increased by leaps and bounds. However, the Chinese hero Liu Kun was suppressed within a hundred mile radius around Jinyang. After occupying the four grounds, Shi Le did not launch any destructive attacks on the Jinyang, but instead turned and attacked them.

Xie Fei's current work was to expand the economy of Qin State. If you want to be rich, build your own road first. Xie Fei followed the memories of his future generations and began to cultivate the Ancient Silk Road once again. He started from the Chen Cang Cheng s of the Hanzhong s. Di Dao (now at the North River), Chien Han (now in Hezhou), from Yongjing to the Yellow River, through Xining, to the Zhang Ya, and then to the west through Jiuquan, Guizhou and Dunhuang, forming the entire national highway network of the Qin State. Highway construction standards were adopted, using the same standards as in the central part of Sichuan. It was just trees planted on both sides of the road. As long as the road was repaired, the Institute of Martial Studies (Currently, as the highest R & D unit of the Qin State, it was not in production, and as long as anything was invented, it would be handed over to the factories below for mass production.) Then, the Yang Family Merchant team would be in charge of marketing the various states, earning money for Xie Fei. Currently, Xie Fei's various factories did not lack the raw materials for the workers, so the quantity of products was guaranteed, but because of the inconvenience of transportation, the amount of money that was earned was limited, so it was not enough to support the operations of the entire Qin State.

When Xie Fei was inspecting the road construction, he discovered an interesting phenomenon. In order to save some energy, the road builders had laid two steel rails on top of the completed road, running the rail car invented by the Institute of Martial Studies back in Qingzhou. Xie Fei suddenly thought of something. Should he create a steam engine or train? The steam engine is a reciprocating power machine that converts the energy of steam into mechanical work, which is mainly composed of the cylinder, base, piston, crank connecting rod mechanism, valve distribution mechanism, regulating mechanism and flywheel, etc. The fuel use coal, according to the current scientific and technological level in Qin State, although there is no steam engine theory, but the technical bottleneck for manufacturing the steam engine no longer exists.

Now that Xie Fei had improved it by plagiarizing, the technology of Qin State's iron smelting had gone from primitive steelmaking to high mixer. Now, Qin State's high mixer can produce three thousand kilograms of molten steel every thirty hours. Moreover, the original wind-powered lathe began to be used, making the various components of the steam engine not a problem.

Xie Fei came to Institute of Martial Studies, looked for Gan Xin, Gong Shuxian, Zhuge Mingyue and other people in charge. Xie Fei passed over the steam engine blueprints that he had drawn himself to them for inspection. With Zhuge Mingyue's erudite knowledge, her knowledge of astronomy and geography, at this moment, he looked at the mechanical diagram and was completely shocked: "Steam engine, what is this thing?" Gan Xin and Gong Shuxian were also bewildered when they saw this.

Xie Fei explained, "A steam engine is a reciprocating type of power machine that converts the energy of steam into mechanical skills, it is mainly composed of a cylinder, a base, a piston, a crank connecting rod mechanism, a valve distribution mechanism, a regulating mechanism, and a flywheel. Once this machine is revealed, not only can it be used in various fields like mining, smelting, textile, machine manufacturing and so on, it can also be used in armoured ships and steam trains.

Gan Xin, Gong Shuxian, Zhuge Mingyue and the other people in charge were all confused. They looked at the mechanical blueprints blankly, there were three diagrams, a partial profile diagram, and a 3D model diagram that depicted the model and principle of the steam engine extremely clearly. Although she did not understand the meaning and details, she could roughly understand that this painting was the shape and composition of the steam engine.

First, Xie Fei patiently explained to them the basic knowledge involved in mechanical principles and mechanical drawings, how to make the three views, what was virtual line of sight, what was gear model, cylinder principle, cold water separator, lever mechanism, and so on. Zhuge Mingyue was intelligent, and was able to understand everything in one go. Gong Shuxian was a descendant of Lu Ban, a young man in his thirties with tanned skin. A pair of bright lights glimmered with astonishing wisdom. Lu Ban was a brilliant mechanical inventor, so under the influence of his studies at home, Gong Shuxian quickly understood the working principle of the steam engine. However, the pretentious Gan Xin suffered a huge blow and still didn't understand the mystery behind it.

This is a separate condenser, outside of the cylinder, set up an adiabatic layer, lubricated the piston with oil, using planetary gears and parallel movement linkage, centrifugal conditioner, and throttle valve can greatly improve the efficiency of the steam engine. To put it bluntly, this steam engine is not difficult to develop, as long as these spare parts are manufactured according to the shape, the only thing left is to repeatedly test the coal conversion steam, the key is that these mechanical components must be assembled by skilled craftsmen to be manufactured in batches, and finally assembled together. Xie Fei voiced out his worries.

After all, the Industrial Revolution was born in the 17th century. After two thousand years of development, whether it be smelting iron, finishing processing, cutting, quenching, refining, etc., they all improved a lot compared to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The first steam engine in the world was a one-century ball by Hero of Alexandria, a Greek mathematician, but it was just a toy. In 1679, French physicist Dennis Barben created the working model of the first steam engine. Over the next hundred years, several scientists built early industrial steam engines, until 18 was the first to successfully drive a ship with a steam engine. Wat was not a master of steam engines. Before him, steam engines had already appeared, but when Wat found their flaws, he did a series of tests to increase the efficiency of the steam engine to three times that of the original machine. Finally, he figured out the modern steam engine.

Gong Shuxian said: "Rest assured His Highness Duke of Qin, currently, the steel factories under Institute of Martial Studies have close to twenty thousand proficient steel craftsmen, amongst them there are more than three thousand advanced steel craftsmen, it is not difficult to build the gears, rods, etc. Now, if all the steel craftsmen work together, they can produce seventy-six barrels per day. Only then the production of firearms will surely lag behind. "

Xie Fei said: "Therefore, this king has decided to prepare for a year, for the Qin Territory's economic exhibition, as well as for the training of troops, to advance side by side. Both of my hands and hands must be hard, with Qin Army's current combat power being more than enough to protect myself, thus I can delay the process of changing my firearm equipment. The development of the steam engine is the most important task of Institute of Martial Studies right now. Everything depends on the development of the steam engine. "

However, in the process of processing, the parts and resources required were basically all zero, which meant that they had to be mass-produced at the very least, and the accuracy and quality were far from being able to be reached. It was probably still far off from the first steam engine in the seventeenth century. As long as the first machine was successfully manufactured, it would be able to use the first machine to process spare parts for the second machine, which would then be upgraded by quite a bit. After using the second steam engine as a power source to make the spare parts needed for the third machine, and so on and so forth, after a few continuous upgrades, there would definitely be a qualitative leap in power. In the history of mankind, the reason why the progress of science was so slow was that it required more than 2000 years of excessive progress. The reason why the advancement of science was so slow was that it often took a long time to improve.

The Industrial Revolution made Britain a "factory of the world" and held the dominant position of the world economy, while China, because of its isolation from the rest of the world, suffered the humiliation of a century of blood and tears. If Qin State had been the first to enter the Industrial Revolution one thousand and seven hundred years ago, the world would definitely have undergone a tremendous change.

Zhuge Mingyue frowned: "In this world, only the top tier Sword Crafting Masters from the Institute of Martial Studies and the disciples of the Mo family are able to process these parts. Whether or not the quality can meet the requirements is unknown, and whether or not they can do it all will be hard to do in a year and a half."

Xie Fei smiled: "A revolution is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time, as long as one continues to experiment and explore, one would be able to make more and more progress, maybe even when fighting for the world, it would not be able to display its power, but ten or twenty years later, the rise of Great Qin at the top of the world, will all depend on it."

After the Institute of Martial Studies returned to the Duke of Qin's Palace, Xie Fei started a new round of plagiarizing plans. The Pirate State had always wanted to conquer the Pirate State, so he had to rely on powerful sea powers. Although the Qin State was strong and strong, the navy was still weak. However, there was no suitable seaport within the territory of the Qin State. There was nothing to be done about the development of the Navy.

Suddenly, Xie Fei's gaze fell on the map of Qin State. Qinghai Lake is also known as "Kukur Nur", which means "green sea" in Mongolian. Located in the Qinghai Lake Basin, northeast of Qinghai Province, it is both China's largest inland lake and China's largest saltwater lake. At this time, Qing Hai Lake was not as small as it was in the past, but its longest was about 400 kilometers, widest was about 160 kilometers, and its average depth was 34 meters. Among them, two-thirds of the water in the lake was around 20 to 50 meters deep, so although Qing Hai Lake was an inland lake which did not have any strategic position, Xie Fei thought that it should be able to use Qing Hai Lake to construct a new type of ship to train the navy. It would lay the foundation for the future expedition to the Pirate State.

With an idea in his mind, Xie Fei once again went back to work. The administration was handed over to Wang Meng, who led the development of the steam engine while Xie Fei began to prepare for the navy to leave the country.
