Daqin: Qin Shihuang can hear my heart

Chapter 536 Emperor Shocked
A group of people set foot on the concrete road again, crossed the iron bridge, and headed towards Efang Palace.

Shang Xin followed closely behind, always feeling that he should report something, otherwise he would be lying. He could not bear the responsibility of this crime, but according to His Majesty's distrustful eyes, would he believe him?
He had to wait until His Majesty arrived at Efang Palace.

After walking for a few moments, the shadow of Efang Palace appeared in front of his eyes, Shang Xin didn't care about it any more, and immediately whispered behind him: "Your Majesty, I didn't report about Afang Palace just now, so it is necessary to report it now."

"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng didn't stop, and continued to walk like a tiger.

"Actually, Efang Palace has not refurbished the old walls."

"What?" Ying Zheng suddenly turned his head and stared at Shang Xin coldly, "What do you mean? The old wall of Efang Palace has not been renovated, and the ground has not yet been broken?"

Unrenovated obviously means untouched ground, how can untouched ground be rebuilt within three months?Li Zhao is trying to deceive the king.

Immediately flew into a rage, flung his sleeves and reprimanded: "Li Zhaonai is teasing me. Could it be that leaving 30 civilians here is also to confuse me?"

When Shang Xin heard this, he felt that he had harmed Li Zhao invisibly again, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. Although the old walls have not been refurbished, they have all been demolished."

"All demolished?" Ying Zheng was even more angry, "The palace I built with 30 corvées was demolished. What does Li Zhaoan have in mind? I want to punish him."

Shang Xin wanted to kneel, the more he explained, the more Li Zhao was killed, he didn't want to!Quickly explained again: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood again. I heard from Xiao He that the demolition was for the purpose of building a strong palace. General Li wanted to build an unprecedented shrine for His Majesty."

"Divine Palace?"

Ying Zheng listened, and his attitude softened a little.

The shrine is his dream.

Since the unification, too many chores made him unable to distinguish his origin, too much fatigue made him dilute his original ambitions, and too ordinary daily life made him lose the desire to compete for hegemony, so a little ambition came into his heart, and he wanted to compete with the sky Only when you are tall can you show your glory again.

Therefore, he had the wish of immortality, which is only one of the reasons, and the second is that in action, he wanted to build a palace comparable to the palace in the sky, the palace of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, and he wanted to let people know that There is no doubt about the place where he lives and the gods, and he wants to let God know that he is a god-like existence.

And Li Zhao wanted to build the shrine, just as he wanted.

The anger subsided, and a slight smile appeared.

"Very good, very good, Li Zhaoye who knows me well."

Shang Xin patted his chest, thinking secretly that it was very risky, it was too much to punish for a while, but fortunately, the emperor's anger was stabilized.

"but"

However, the next sentence made Shang Xin's heart twitch again.

"How can the old building be demolished and rebuilt in three months? Li Zhao is still deceiving the emperor."

The nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine palaces, to be completed within three months, are completely impossible in the eyes of Yingzheng, and in fact, completely impossible in the eyes of the people of Qin. undone.

"Presumably the foundation is not yet established!"

For such a large project, it will take some time to lay the foundation even if there are 30 people.

Shang Xin said: "Your Majesty, the foundation has been completed, and the wall has been built at this moment. I am afraid that it will take shape within two months, and the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine palaces will begin to take shape."

"What?" Ying Zheng was startled when he heard that, and quickly turned his head to stare at Shang Xin, trying to find out where he was lying, but Shang Xin was sincere and had no intention of lying.

"The foundation is laid, and the walls are built? How absurd."

Even though Shang Xin couldn't tell that he was lying, he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true, if you don't believe me, you can call Xiao He to ask?"

Xiao He was the chief builder of Afang Palace, and knew the construction situation best.

"Why call it, I can see it myself."

Ying Zheng ignored Shang Xin, turned his head and walked away, this time at a much faster speed, tending to trot.

Shang Xin hurriedly followed, not daring to neglect at all, but he didn't show any worries, the wall was placed wherever it was, and it couldn't be faked.

A group of people moved forward quickly, and arrived in front of them in a short time. After seeing the original appearance of Afang Palace, Yingzheng's expression froze for a while, and he froze on the spot.

What Shang Xin said was right, that is to say, a wall was built. This wall is square and upright, which is even better than the buildings of the Great Qin Dynasty. Moreover, the color is bright, red and white, majestic and majestic, and it is gratifying to see.

This is just the city wall. Inside the city wall, you can actually see the high part of the palace. The scale has already been revealed, and it is actually higher than the fortified wall.

"Is this not rammed earth?"

Most of the Daqin City Walls were built with rammed earth. Of course, there were also rocks seeping through them, but they were not decisive. Just like the Great Wall, it was built by ramming clay.

"No!" Shang Xin has not been idle during this time, in order to reassure the emperor, he often strolls to A Fang Palace, and even asks Xiao He about it, so that he understands it more clearly.

"The quality of the wall is red brick, gray, and cement, which is extremely strong, comparable to the city wall of Shanglinyuan."

"It's comparable to the city wall of Shanglinyuan. Li Zhaozhen really likes me."

He has seen the city wall of Shanglinyuan before. Although it is not as thick as the city wall of Xianyang, it is extremely strong.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the tens of thousands of troops equipped with artillery at that time could not shake it. Such a city wall can be called a copper wall and an iron wall.

However, what he cares about is not these, but the speed of construction. In just ten days, the old wall can be demolished and built to such a degree, which is really unheard of.

The next moment, Ying Zheng's face hardened.

The laws of the Great Qin Dynasty are strict, and there are laws to regulate everything, so that the people of the Qin Dynasty not only pay attention to efficiency, but also need quality, otherwise they will violate the law.

With such a construction speed, even with the efficiency of the Qin people, it is absolutely impossible to do so, and there must be falsehoods in it.

"With manpower, even if we work day and night, we can't do it? Is Li Zhao cutting corners, or Xiao He's lax supervision? Shang Xin, can you supervise him?"

That attitude changed as soon as it was said, which really shocked Shang Xin, but Shang Xin did not panic because of this. He has been inspecting all this time, and there is absolutely no suspicion of cutting corners or lax supervision, so he said: "Your Majesty , I don’t think so, and why the speed is so fast, it’s because General Li used a magic weapon.”

"Oh! What kind of fetish?" Ying Zheng became interested.

"It's mixers, soil compactors, transport trucks and the like! These fetishes can increase the construction speed by dozens of times."

Shang Xin said without thinking.

In fact, he was shocked when he saw these things, if Xiao He hadn't introduced them, he would have thought that Li Zhao had divine help.These things are simply unheard and unseen.

Perhaps, just because there is in heaven.

"Improved by dozens of times? How can there be such a fetish in the world?" Ying Zheng's expression was a little dazed, but this statement was a bit outrageous.

"It's true. Your Majesty can go inside and see the magic to know the truth."

"color!"
