Chapter 72 Everyone Rushing to Shaqiu County
Wang Yujia continued, "Your Highness, you have to meet that Zhao Yi first. What if he is really handsome?"
"So what if he's handsome? Haven't I seen enough handsome guys? From what you said, I think you are interested in Zhao Yi? This is not consistent with your previous personality." Ying Yinman asked back.
Wang Yujia replied, "Not really. It's just that this is the first time I've seen my grandfather personally ask me to come here. So I'm curious about what kind of person Zhao Yi is. Isn't Your Highness curious? After all, His Majesty has asked me to come here."
Ying Yin Man turned her head away and said, "Humph! I'm not curious. I just want to make Zhao Yi look bad now."
Although Ying Yinman said this, she was actually a little curious about Zhao Yi.
After all, the fact that he had such great power made his father and Marquis Wucheng Wang Jian have strange thoughts.
Logically speaking, even if my father and Wang Jian wanted to arrange a marriage, he would only arrange a marriage for one of them.
As a result, my father and Wang Jian actually asked me to come here with Wang Yujia.
You should know that Wang Yujia is Wang Jian’s most beloved granddaughter.
How could he be willing to let her share a husband with him?
So what kind of person is Zhao Yi?
It could make my father and Wang Jian have such thoughts.
Ying Yinman also sent people to investigate, and found out that there was no one named Zhao Yi in Shaqiu County at all.
So where did this Zhao Yi come from?
……
On the other side, three people were also on their way to Shaqiu County.
They are Xiao He, Cao Can and Han Xin.
It’s just that Han Xin went to Shaqiu County from Donghai County alone.
Xiao He and Cao Shen set out from Sishui County together.
Han Xin was alone, but his heart was full of joy.
He was looking forward to reaching the dunes as early as possible.
Only in this way can he have the opportunity to demonstrate his abilities and realize his ambitions!
After he achieved something, he sent someone to find the butcher who had once humiliated him.
However, Han Xin would not kill the butcher. Instead, he would make the butcher his own subordinate.
This will keep the butcher psychologically uneasy.
In addition, it was the butcher who made him understand the importance of tolerance, and he can be considered his benefactor.
Although Han Xin didn't know who was willing to promote him to an officer.
But Han Xin will not let him down.
If Han Xin finds out who the benefactor who promoted him is, he will serve him wholeheartedly to repay his kindness.
It was because of him that Han Xin was able to leap from a street urchin to a general of the Qin Dynasty commanding hundreds of men.
Unlike Han Xin who was full of anticipation and joy, Xiao He and Cao Shen were filled with anxiety.
Because they were originally just minor officials in Pei County, Sishui County, one was the chief clerk and the other was a prison clerk in charge of the prison.
As a result, an order was suddenly issued to report to Shaqiu County.
This is not good.
Because although they were minor officials in Pei County, they were also powerful officials in Pei County and had local connections and certain power.
Now I have been transferred to Shaqiu County all of a sudden, and I am unfamiliar with the place.
By then, the official might be troubled by other local officials.
In addition, Xiao He and Cao Shen were also very confused about who decided to transfer them.
Even after using their connections in Sishui County, they still couldn't find the identity of the person who was transferred.
This shows that the person who made the decision is extraordinary.
Therefore, Xiao He and Cao Shen were very puzzled as to why such a person was so fond of these two minor officials.
It is clear that no high-ranking official of this level has ever come to Pei County.
Xiao He and Cao Shen had been officials for many years and knew very well that being favored by people of such a high rank was not necessarily a blessing.
Because his opponent is of the same level and will attack the people here.
Especially people who were promoted like them.
Unless the person who promoted them was the First Emperor. But this was impossible, because the First Emperor was not someone they could approach.
Otherwise, they will inevitably be involved in the struggles among the high-level officials in the court, so they will be uneasy in their hearts.
Xiao He and Cao Shen had no idea that the person who promoted them was the current Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and that the reason for their promotion was merely because of a few words from a three-year-old child.
……
In the factory in Shahe Village.
Zhao Yi handed some manufacturing drawings to the manufacturing managers in the village.
It records the simple steam locomotive manufacturing drawings and steam ship manufacturing drawings obtained from textbooks.
This means that the village craftsmen no longer need to figure out how to make locomotives and ship engines on their own.
With these manufacturing drawings.
The steam locomotive that Zhao Yi needs will be ready within half a month.
The steamship will also be completed within the next year.
By then, Zhao Yi would have a safe retreat and would be more confident in his rebellion.
The village craftsmen, who were also responsible for manufacturing, were very happy when they received the drawings.
It was the first time they had seen such a detailed and perfect manufacturing drawing.
Now let’s look at the simple locomotive they had been researching before.
They are completely different.
The images created by others are perfect creations, while mine are like children's toys.
It was thanks to the village chief Zhao Yi that they were able to see such things.
This allowed them, who were originally just blacksmiths making farm tools in the village, to have the opportunity to personally participate in the manufacture of such a huge steel structure as a train.
According to the village chief, after this steam locomotive is built, it will be able to pull several carriages, which will be a hundred meters long in total.
In other words, what they are going to build now is a steel giant that is a hundred meters long.
That’s a hundred meters long!
Not to mention a hundred meters long, they had heard that someone in the Qin Dynasty had created a steel structure that was ten meters long.
I heard that the largest metal creation in the Qin Dynasty was just a golden man several meters tall placed in front of the palace.
It's nothing compared to the train they are planning to build.
They all think that they will leave their names in history after they create it.
After all, no one has ever built something so huge.
And all this is thanks to the village chief!
If there were no village chief, they would definitely still be forging iron with hammers, and there would be no chance to build a train.
……
When Zhao Yi went out, Yu Ji took the opportunity to pick up the pencil given by Zhao Yi and briefly wrote down Zhao Yi's specific schedule and work for the day on the paper.
This is a secret letter to Ying Zheng.
In order to send a message, Ying Zheng also gave Yu Ji a carrier pigeon for secret guards and a whistle to summon the carrier pigeon.
Then Yu Ji did not forget to help her former client Luo Yu.
In her secret letter to Ying Zheng, she mentioned the existence of soap and explained in detail its advantages and vast market.
Later, she boldly proposed to His Majesty in a letter that she and Luo Yu should propose to Zhao Yi to run a business like soap.
In this way, Your Majesty can get the soap from Luo Yu without having to risk the risk of leakage by asking Zhao Yi.
After Yu Ji finished writing the secret letter, she opened the window and looked around to make sure there was no one around, then she used a whistle to call a carrier pigeon.
Stuff the secret letter into the small tube on the pigeon's leg, then quickly release it and close the window.
The carrier pigeon spread its wings and flew to Ying Zheng's palace...
