Ying Zheng, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty!

Chapter 47 In the Purple Orchid Pavilion, the Heart of Jade

"Please get up, Lord Shenji."

Ying Zheng raised his hand slightly, signaling Gong Shuqiu to stand up, and said in a solemn voice,
"We, the Great Qin Dynasty, never hesitate to reward those who have meritorious service. In the future, if the Gongshu family has other things that benefit the country and the people, I will reward them."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty. I will definitely convey Your Majesty's wishes when I return."

Gong Shuqiu's eyes lit up and he immediately expressed his stance.

They are not good at marching and fighting, but inventing, creating, and improving utensils are what they are good at.

At this moment, Gong Shuqiu's heart became active, recalling that he had thought about improving the utensils before and whether it would be possible.

"Okay, in addition, I have some things here that are not very systematic. You can take them back and see if you can make them."

Ying Zheng nodded, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something. He took out a few pieces of cloth from the table and handed them to Gong Shuqiu.

"I'll take a look first."

Gong Shuqiu took the cloth with a respectful expression and looked at it one by one.

"Papermaking: using bark, hemp heads, rags as raw materials..."

"Printing: block printing, movable type printing..."

"Gunpowder: Using sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal as raw materials, according to specific proportions..."

"Quyuanli, waterwheel..."

"These things seem to be quite consistent with the Mohist concept of mechanism art."

Gong Shuqiu looked at the cloth in his hand and said.

"Really?" Ying Zheng chuckled and said nothing.

Naturally, he found these things from the memories of his previous life, but he knew too little about these things in his previous life.

Ying Zheng recalled it for a long time and could only restore it to what it is now.

He had previously sent these things to the person in charge of craftsmanship in the Young Mansion, but unfortunately, he had not achieved much results so far.

In comparison, the Gongshu family's accomplishments as craftsmen are much more impressive.

Therefore, Ying Zheng had an idea and was ready to give Gong Shu Qiu a try.

"Marquis Shen Ji, I wonder if these things can be made?"

Ying Zheng asked Gong Shuqiu.

"Back to the king, the things on this look good, but they are too rudimentary and many procedures have been omitted. You need to keep trying."

"After I go back, I can find some disciples to try to deduce and see if they can make these things."

Gong Shuqiu read it, thought about it in his mind, and replied to Ying Zheng.

"Okay, Lord Shenji, please take these things back and try them more."

Ying Zheng nodded and said to Gong Shuqiu.

"I understand."

Gongshu Qiu accepted the order and collected these precious cloths and silks.

"Your Majesty, Shaoliang Zaodun weakly brings an old man named Wei Liao to seek an audience with you."

At this time, a servant suddenly came to report outside the palace.

Although he resigned from the position of Shaofu before he became weak, during the battle to destroy Korea, he contacted Nei Shiteng, destroyed the Korean border, killed Bai Yifei, and persuaded Ji Wuye and Lady Mingzhu to surrender.

With all these and outstanding achievements, he was directly promoted to the fifteenth level of Shaoliangzao, the same level as Wang Yan.

"Wei Liao?"

"Let them come over."

Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed and he responded immediately.

"Yes." The waiter responded and retreated.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

When Gong Shuqiu saw this, he immediately resigned.

Ying Zheng nodded and watched Gong Shouqiu leave. Not long after, he saw the chamberlain leading Dun Ruo and an old man into the hall.

"Zongheng Yi, Wei Liao, pays homage to the King of Qin..."

In the main hall, the gray-haired Wei Liao raised his hands to Ying Zheng with piercing eyes.

"Wei Chendu is weak and pays his respects to the king."

Next to him, he bowed even if he was weak.

"Excuse me from both of you."

Ying Zheng raised his hand slightly and looked at Wei Liao with his deep eyes.

"Mr. Wei Liao, I have benefited a lot from reading your works from Dunruo."

"Today, we finally meet."

"The King of Qin is full of praise. I have admired the King for a long time."

Wei Liao looked at Ying Zheng sitting upright on the horizontal collapse in front of him. His whole body was majestic and his expression was majestic, like a god king sitting upright for nine days, and he couldn't help but feel awe in his heart.

"Sir, please have a seat." Ying Zheng smiled slightly and immediately asked Wei Liao to sit down.

Afterwards, the two of them asked each other in the Lanchi Palace about national and military affairs, civil laws, and the overall situation of the world.

……

Just when Ying Zheng and Wei Liao were talking in Lanchi Palace.

In the State of Qin, Wang Wan's memorial to Lanchi Palace that day also caused quite a stir.

It is well known to everyone that the harem of King Qin is empty today.

Although the marriage between Qin and Chu has been completed, and the princess of Chu is on her way to Xianyang, she is only one person after all and cannot monopolize King Qin's harem.

Now, as soon as it came out that Ying Zheng had agreed to Wang Wan's proposal to choose a concubine, some interested people immediately became excited.

All the officials in the court, the generals in the army, and even the nobles of the Qin State, as long as there were women of the right age at home, began to prepare and report their names to Huayang Palace.

At the same time, in Xianyang City, Zilan Xuanzhong.

"Nongyu, have you really decided?"

The Purple Goddess looked solemnly at the beautiful and elegant Nong Yu, and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, sister Zinu."

Nong Yu, who was wearing an orange dress, stroked the guqin in front of her and said with a smile.

"Nongyu, if it's about Hu Meiren, you can ask Han Fei to come forward. Entering the palace is no small matter."

Zi Nu said seriously.

After Han was destroyed, Zi Lanxuan moved to Xianyang City with Han Fei.

Nongyu's mother, Mrs. Hu, also came with Nongyu.

Her aunt Hu Meiren followed Han An and was trapped in Han Hou's mansion.

Hu Meiren was originally presented to Han Wangan by Liu Yi. After so many years, no son or a half was born.

There is almost no relationship with Han Wangan.

Now, Han Wangan has lost his throne and no longer has the power to control the fate of Hu Mei and Mrs. Hu.

Hu Meiren didn't want to play tricks on Han An's concubines in the Hou Mansion, so she wanted to move out and live with her sister.

However, after all, this kind of thing concerns the former King of Han, and almost no one is willing to interfere.

Coincidentally, when the news of King Qin's selection of a concubine came, Nongyu became interested.

If she can enter the palace, there is no need for King Qin to come forward. As long as she opens her mouth, Han An can respectfully send Hu Meiren out.

Moreover, after she enters the palace, she can also help Zi Nu and Zi Lan Xuan's group of sisters who are so kind to her.

Killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?

"Sister, I have already thought about it clearly, you don't need to persuade me anymore."

Nong Yu said warmly to Zi Nu.

She has an elegant temperament and looks soft, but she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She will never regret something she has decided.

"Well, now that you have made up your mind, sister will help you."

Zinu held Nongyu's shoulders sympathetically and said softly.

Hearing this, Nong Yu looked at Zi Nu in confusion, wondering if there was any way she could help him in this matter.

"In the Hanhou Mansion, since the news of King Qin's selection of a concubine spread, Han Yu began to persuade Han An to send Honglian to the palace."

"Honglian is extremely resistant to this, and Han Fei also clearly expressed his rejection to Han An, but no one knows Han An's heart."

"After all, he is Honglian's father and the Marquis of Han. If he is determined to send Honglian to the palace, even Han Fei can't stop him."

"Therefore, since then, Han Fei has been living in the Marquis Mansion to protect Honglian, and Wei Zhuang has also followed."

"Now that you have this idea, let Han Fei advise Han An to accept you as his adopted daughter and help you enter the palace with all his strength."

"In this way, your status will not fall behind that of other noble ladies from aristocratic families in the Qin Kingdom."

"Outside the palace and even in the court, he will become a natural support for Korean officials."

Zi Nu explained to Nong Yu that in this way, she was not only helping Honglian and Han Fei, but also helping Nong Yu, killing two birds with one stone.

"Then I'll trouble my sister and Ninth Young Master."

Nong Yu naturally understood Zi Nu's good intentions, and immediately nodded in agreement and thanked Zi Nu.

"What's the trouble? You did Han Fei a big favor."

"I just hope that after you enter the palace, you can live a good life and not be bullied."

"If anything happens, don't take it upon yourself. Send someone to tell me and Han Fei as soon as possible. Let's face it together."

Zinu sighed, hugged Nongyu and said.

"Nongyu knows."

Nong Yu leaned on Zi Nu's shoulder and said with a smile.
