The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows

The people's livelihood in Pei County was not good. Richard saw that many people looked pale on the street, and there were not many people on the street. The court had conscripted a large number of laborers in recent years, causing strong laborers from all over the country to go to Guanzhong to serve.

Afang Palace, the Imperial Mausoleum, the Great Wall, the Chi Road, the excavation of the Lingqu Canal, and the conquest of Baiyue. Each of these required a large population to implement. Just to conquer Baiyue, the First Emperor prepared an army of 200,000 and 300,000 civilians.

The Great Wall, the Chi Road, the Imperial Mausoleum, and the Afang Palace had a million laborers. It can be said that after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, it did not rest with the people, but continued to conscript laborers.

According to the historical trajectory, the next step was the death of the First Emperor, and then the world was in chaos. When the Han Dynasty was established, the world had been in war for more than ten years, and more than two-thirds of the population was killed or injured.

After the unification of the world, the national population was about 40 million, and by the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the population was only 13 million to 14 million, a decrease of 60%. Even the emperor's carriage couldn't find six war horses of the same color.

This battle could have been avoided. The demise of the Qin Dynasty was not due to land conflicts, but because the labor and taxes were too heavy and the people could not survive.

Qin Shihuang, who unified the world, had a problem, that is, he wanted to finish the work of three generations in one generation. The result was that the people of the world were in hardship and bandits were rampant everywhere.

If Fusu ascended the throne and governed the world with gentleness, the world would still have a chance to recover. If he continued to levy labor and oppress the people, the world would be overturned in an instant.

At this time, Richard saw five or six strong men in a wine shop on the street not far away, with their clothes open and long swords on their waists, shouting and drinking loudly.

The people around saw several people and avoided them directly. Among these people, Richard also saw a man who looked very much like Hu Ge drinking with them.

Richard's heart moved slightly, this should be Yi Xiaochuan. Richard immediately walked into the wine shop, took out some half a tael of money and gave it to the shopkeeper, asking him to prepare some more wine for him and his men.

Hearing Richard's request, the shopkeeper was not surprised. As a local gangster, people often invited Liu Bang and his men to drink. He immediately took the money and went to prepare wine for Liu Bang and his men.

Richard randomly found a corner, then opened the Eye of Reality to observe, wanting to see how Liu Bang's luck was, but to his surprise, Liu Bang was not surrounded by purple air and protected by a golden dragon.

Thinking of this, he remembered that the last time he saw Zhao Kuangyin, it was the same. Now it seems that if these characters want to turn into real dragons, other luck is also accumulated little by little, not born this way, unless they are the kind of people who are born emperors.

Now Liu Bang's luck is very low, even worse than Xiao He's luck. Soon, several people were drunk and staggered home. Richard took the opportunity to capture Yi Xiaochuan and Liu Bang. After using magic to make them fall asleep, he imprisoned them and put them into his space.

After being controlled by his magic, as long as he did not remove the spell, these people would never wake up again.

It was agreed that he would exchange lives with Gao Yao, so Richard would naturally do what he said. As for Liu Bang, he also solved it. There was a shortage of people to build the Great Wall, so he just asked them to fill it.

After arranging the future of these people, Richard returned to Lu Gong's house. His purpose of coming to Pei County this time had been achieved, and it was almost time to leave.

Without Liu Bang and Yi Xiaochuan, the fate of Lu Zhi and Lu Su had also changed. As for Lu Zhi not being able to be the queen, you must know that after the death of Empress Lu, her Lu family was almost extinct.

Now that Liu Bang is gone, she will marry an ordinary person in the future and become a rich lady.

Richard said goodbye to Lü Gong, and left Pei County under the reluctant gaze of Lü Zhi and Lü Su, preparing to go to Xianyang to meet the emperor of all ages.

Just as he passed by Huai'an, he suddenly heard some rumors.

"Everyone, I heard a very magical thing." A thin man in the wine shop raised his voice.

"Wu Laosan, what strange thing have you heard again? Tell it to make everyone happy!" said a strong man next to him.

"Hehe, this." Wu Laosan laughed and made a gesture of something in the cup. After everyone saw it, they laughed and scolded: "Wu Laosan is here to cheat for wine again!"

"How can it be called cheating?" Wu Laosan blushed, and veins on his forehead burst out. He argued: "I have clearly marked the price. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten."

"How can the business of a businessman be considered cheating?" Then there were some difficult words, such as fair trade and sincere business, but the people around seemed to have heard some jokes, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

In the end, no one bought him wine, but Wu Laosan couldn't help himself.

"A large meteorite fell from the sky in Dongjun. At that time, the sky fire fell to the ground, and the sound was like thunder. After falling to the ground, a large pit of several dozen feet was smashed on the ground. The surrounding land was burned by the flames. Someone went to see it out of curiosity and found that the boulder looked like stone and iron, and there was a glowing blue light on it, which was very strange."

This meteorite looked like stone and iron, and there was a glowing blue light. This should be the meteorite that built the Heavenly Palace.

At this time, Wu Laosan suddenly lowered his voice and said, "At that time, the boulder was still hot, and no one could get close. It was not until the next day that someone approached to observe. Guess what?"

Wu Laosan deliberately kept it a secret to whet the appetite. He waited until others were ready to take action, and then hurriedly said, "There is actually a line of heavenly book on the stone!"

"Heavenly Book? What's written in it?" someone next to him said.

"It's strange to say that when the star fell to the ground, the sky sign of Mars guarding the heart just appeared, and the huge meteorite had seven characters written on it, 'The First Emperor will die and the land will be divided'!"

When these words came out, everyone in the tavern was shocked and quieted down instantly. The people who were watching the excitement also left one after another.

Richard did not stop and went directly to Dongjun. He was going to see the Tianxing meteorite in person. With Richard's speed, he could just turn on the teleportation technique wherever he wanted to go.

Riding all the way to Xianyang was just to understand the current grassroots situation of the Qin State.

A teleportation portal opened, and the next second, Richard appeared near the meteorite in Dongjun. At this time, the meteorite was surrounded by the Qin army. Richard's sudden appearance shocked the people around him.

"Who is it?" The surrounding Qin army reacted quickly, but the next second a flash of inspiration passed, and all the soldiers returned to normal.

Richard controlled the soldiers and walked to the boulder. The meteorite had broken into several pieces due to the huge impact force. On the largest boulder was engraved "The First Emperor Died and the Land Was Divided".

The text was still in Qin seal script, which was obviously carved by hand. Otherwise, how could the heavenly book be in Qin seal script? Are you afraid that others can't understand it?

The whole meteorite is about the size of a house. The meteorite should have disintegrated when it fell, and many fragments were scattered around. The remaining relatively intact meteorites are the size of a house. Richard took a wheel-sized fragment.

Then he left here, and when he left for a long time, the soldiers on guard around him came to their senses, but these soldiers did not find anything unusual.

After getting the meteorite, Richard took some debris from the meteorite for research. This kind of Tianxing meteorite looks very beautiful, with a glowing blue light on the surface.

In addition to these, Richard discovered that there was a strange power on these meteorites, which seemed to be the power of time, and the meteorites could turn an area into a zero-gravity area.

Next, Richard made a detailed analysis of these meteorites, and soon he figured out the nature of this meteorite. This meteorite was very strange, and it could actually store the power of time in it.

The power of time would not change when it stayed in the meteorite, which was equivalent to the time in the meteorite being stopped. But the strange thing is that although time stopped, it did not affect the outside world.

In other words, the Tianxing gemstone can stop the time in its space. This power is very strange. After seeing the effects of these meteorites, Richard also understood why it could make elixirs of immortality and build the "Heavenly Palace".

It was completely the power on the meteorite that stopped time. After time stopped, the physical force changed. After its force field stopped time, the original objects naturally stopped in place. So a zero-gravity area will be formed.

And the time stop will also keep these objects in their original state, and there will be no changes for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Cui Kezi's elixir of life was successful because of this.

Stopping time naturally prevents the aging of cells. Since cells will not age, people will not die. This is the essence of the elixir of life.

This elixir of life can even allow people to live without eating or drinking water, without replenishing energy. Stopping time keeps cells in this state forever, without consumption, and naturally does not need to be replenished.

If there is any flaw in the elixir of life, it should be that you will still die if you are injured. The power of time only stops time, and it will not go back in time to repair injuries. So you will still die if you are injured.

Another flaw is that after using the elixir of life, the body's strength will no longer increase, after all, the body can only maintain this state due to the stop of time.

For Richard, this elixir of life is completely useless, but for Qin Shihuang, this is what he has always dreamed of.

Richard figured out the essence of the Tianxing gem, and he was very interested in this power that can imprison time. In fact, he can also imprison time now, but he can only control a small range, unlike the Tianxing gem, which can actually control a huge mausoleum.

Richard is still very interested in this kind of power and is ready to take time to study it.

Then Richard continued to Xianyang City, the capital of the Qin Empire.

Since Qin Xiaogong moved the capital to Xianyang, Xianyang has been the capital of the Qin State for seven generations, and it is also the political, historical, cultural and military center of the entire Chinese civilization.

Seeing such a great empire for two thousand years, Richard is still shocked.

Daqin, this is Daqin!

The carriage entered Xianyang City, and after inspection, Richard entered this great capital. At this time, the roads in Xianyang City were wide, the main roads were paved with stone slabs, and other roads were also compacted with broken stones.

There were a lot of people coming and going in the city, and all kinds of goods were dazzling, very prosperous.

Richard strolled around casually, and then walked towards the palace city. His purpose this time was to meet Qin Shihuang and meet this emperor of the ages.

The Xianyang Palace was heavily guarded, but to Richard, the guards were useless. He walked in with a swagger, and everyone who saw him acted as if they didn't see him.

Richard came directly to the main hall.

In the mythological world, there is still a big difference from the historical world. For example, Zhao Gao was not a eunuch in history, but a minister of the Central Secretariat. He was born in the Ying surname Zhao, and ten generations ago, he was also a member of the Qin royal family. Later, he changed his surname to Zhao after five mournings.

In the mythological world, Zhao Gao is Gao Yao, and he is a eunuch.

Stepping into the palace, Richard soon saw a middle-aged man with a straight posture, a decent appearance, a sense of majesty, a tall figure, wearing a black dress, reading a book, and the bookcase next to him was piled with a small mountain of books.

According to historical records, the books that Qin Shihuang needed to review every day weighed about 200 kilograms, so it was not easy to be an emperor. Apart from other things, just reviewing books required a good body.

After all, a book weighs one or two kilograms, and it is inevitable that your arms will ache after reading it for a long time.

At this time in the palace, more than a dozen palace servants sorted out the books and placed them in a place for the first emperor to take and read. Qin Shi Huang, who was sitting there, looked gray in the hair and had a dark complexion.

Long-term use of heavy metal pills had seriously eroded his body. When this metal pill was first taken, it could indeed invigorate the spirit and make people look radiant.

In fact, these are all the stimulating effects of heavy metals on the body. This effect is temporary. Heavy metals enter the human body and stimulate the human immune system, which will discharge these metals.

This will make people feel energetic for a short time, but long-term use is overdrawing life, and if heavy metals are taken too much, the body cannot excrete them, and heavy metal poisoning will cause various problems.

If heavy metals accumulate too much in the body, it will cause serious consequences.

Richard observed this emperor from the side. It must be said that this emperor was very diligent and had a good level of governing the country. The only problem was that he was too eager, overestimated his life span, and underestimated the power of the nobles of the six countries.

He also overestimated the tolerance of the people of the world.

Richard observed for a while, then waved his hand gently. The palace servants in the hall suddenly stopped what they were doing, and then left silently. In a blink of an eye, only Richard and the First Emperor were left in the palace.

At this time, Qin Shihuang, who had just finished reviewing the letter, suddenly found that the palace servants were gone. He looked up and saw a heroic man standing in the center of the palace looking at him.

"Who are you?"
