Daqin Engineers

Shen Bing then asked Yan to bring one hundred horses and three hundred horses to the Western Regions to find the tribe and the people of the Western Regions who were willing to belong to the North.

Because they were worried about meeting the Huns who were too late to evacuate on the road, Yan and his party dressed up as envoys.

In addition, Shen Bing made a special trip to purchase more than two hundred silks from Yanmen County.

Silk may be considered good in the Central Plains. As mentioned before, only eight or nine silks can be exchanged for one horse.

But as the saying goes, things are rare and expensive, and the price of bringing them to the Western Regions immediately increased dozens of times. If they were brought to Rome again... then a Roman soldier would not be able to afford them without eating or drinking for seven years.

Therefore, bringing silk is a wealth, not gold, silver, horses... Among them, horses are especially good. There are so many good horses in the Western Regions. If you bring horses, they will depreciate.

At that time, Xun can use these wealth to recruit tribes and people in the Western Regions, and then buy the grain and grass needed when returning.

Li Yan was also behind Yan's group.

Li Yan took 50,000 Hanoi soldiers to the Hexi Corridor where the Xiongnu gave up, and the speed was fast...

The Hexi Corridor is not uninhabited.

In fact, during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, Yueshi was very close to the Central Plains, to be precise, to the west of the Qin State, and then to the north to Xitao and the eastern part of the Hexi Corridor were the Yueshi boundary, while Wusun was in the western part of the Hexi Corridor.

However, after the Xiongnu became strong, they first captured the rear set, then took the western set of the Yueshi to the south and then drove them to the Hexi Corridor.

The Yueshi area gets smaller and smaller and pushes westward, driving away the smaller Wusun country.

So they drove Yueshi out of the Hexi Corridor one by one, and Wusun drove to Central Asia.

If the Qin army is too late, Shen Bing is worried that Yueshi will re-occupy the Hexi Corridor.

The amount of land occupied is small. The important thing is that this important passage is occupied by the Yue clan. This will not only prevent the Qin army from forming an alliance with the Yue clan, but may also become an enemy...

Later Shen Bing realized that this worry was unnecessary.

Because Yueshi was much richer outside the Hexi Corridor than before, he was reluctant to enter the undeveloped land of the Hexi Corridor.

While Shen Bing was making various preparations and operating Wuyuan, Fusu handed a letter to Shen Bing and said:

"My father asked me to wait and rush to Mount Tai immediately!"

Shen Bing couldn't help but wonder:

"Tarzan?"

"Could it be that there are still Qi gangsters who have not been eliminated?"

Mount Tai belongs to the boundary of the original Qi country, so Shen Bing's first reaction was to let him fight the bandits.

But Fusu shook his head and said:

"No, it's the emperor father holding the Zen ceremony in Mount Tai!"

Shen Bing said "Oh".

He knew that Feng was a sacrifice to heaven, and Zen was a sacrifice to earth.

Conferring Zen is the ritual for the emperor to offer sacrifices to the heavens and the earth during the peaceful and prosperous age or the auspiciousness of the sky.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether to sacrifice or not, but Ying Zheng wants to report his merits to the heaven and earth, showing that he has completed his merits and rewards him.

The reason why the Zen was consecrated in Mount Tai is because the ancients believed that Mount Tai was the highest mountain in the world, and the top of Mount Tai was the closest to the immortals in the sky.

Uh... Shen Bing wants to say that the highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest. If you want to get closer to the sky, you should go there.

But if you say this, I'm afraid it will burn your body...With the current conditions, wouldn't it be possible to climb Mount Everest to seek death?

Therefore, Shen Bing had better keep his mouth closed.

In fact, Ying Zheng had a headache in Mount Tai.

From ancient times to the present, few emperors have held ceremonies of concluding Zen. Even King Qi Wei wanted to conquer Zen because he was discouraged by Guan Zhong... This Zen is not an ordinary emperor, but in principle, King Qi Wei It's just the lords, why is it consecrated?!

Because no Zen ceremonies were held for a long time, no one knew how to do this.

Ying Zheng even brought together Confucian scholars, alchemists, etc., to discuss together, but they argued on their own.

Some said that it was necessary to walk up the mountain, some said that it was possible to take a car, but in order not to be surprised that the immortal had to wrap the wheel with grass, and some said that it would take a few steps to worship.

In fact, if Ying Zheng only finds one of them, such as Confucian scholars, or asks the alchemist to decide, this problem will not arise, and the program will come out by just arranging it.

However, Yingzheng wanted to brainstorm broadly, and invited a few people to come up with the "most correct" plan, so irreconcilable contradictions appeared.

At this time Ying Zheng thought of Shen Bing.

Among all alchemists and scholars, the one Ying Zheng believed most was Shen Bing.

Because there is a saying "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed", the more advanced people are, the less likely they are to reveal their identity.

Shen Bing didn't reveal his identity, and every aspect proved that Shen Bing had a leg with the gods, which even passed the test of actual combat...

Then there is nothing to say. Of course, Shen Bing has to make a final decision to conquer Zen.

However, he was worried that Mingwen would make the immortal unhappy, so he summoned Fusu and Shen Bing together... In fact, there is a reason to summon Fusu. He is a contingent of Da Qin, and of course he must accompany him.

This was a pain for Shen Bing and Fusu.

The distance from Wuyuan to Mount Tai is two thousand five hundred miles, even if it travels two hundred miles a day, it will take more than ten days.

However, Ying Zheng has already considered these, and he has ordered the soldiers, horses, drinks and mistresses to be escorted at the stations along the way.

Therefore, Shen Bing and Fusu can sleep in the car throughout the whole process, without worrying about them, and even enjoy the treatment of ordering meals... When it’s almost time to eat, they will tell Mita, Mita will let the guards ride a horse and rush to the front. ready.

Originally, Shen Bing thought it was because of the light of the young man Fusu, but after talking with Fusu, he found that Fusu was also surprised. He had never enjoyed this before.

How did Shen Bing know that this was actually Fu Su's light... sent by the gods, so it's not good to wait for them?

Finally, Shen Bing and Fusu arrived at the foot of Mount Tai on the tenth day.

The first person Shen Bing met in the inn was the horse merchant... the horse merchant appeared in front of Shen Bing's door when Fusu was called away by his servants.

"Brother Shen, long time no see!" Ma Shang smiled and said to Shen Bing: "I haven't tasted the delicacies made by Brother Shen for a long time. I miss it! Only when I heard that the General of the North was here, I took the liberty to come to visit. ."

When Shen Bing heard it, it was true that during this period of time, he was busy with Northland affairs and he didn't get any new things to enjoy.

"Is the hairpin also here to participate in the ceremony?" Shen Bing asked.

The horse merchant "eh" said:

"How can I be blessed to participate in the Feng Chan ceremony?"

"It is said that the general wants to raise horses in the Northland, don't forget me!"

Shen Bing slapped his head, really, how did he forget this horse merchant.

So a little sorry to say:

"Hairpin, forgive me. The Northland is really in urgent need of business contacts. If the hairpin is not disgusting, I can go to the Northland to help me!"

However, the horse businessman seemed to just say it casually, not interested in this topic.

He then asked:

"The general knows how to proceed with this meditation?"
