Zhang Liang was very depressed.
After being captured by Great Qin…
He had clearly rejected the offer.
However, the Emperor did not care. He did not kill him, nor did he lock him up. He only forcefully conferred a guest official position.
However, Zhang Liang insisted that he would not speak for Great Qin or offer any suggestions for Ying Lin. Ying Lin did not care and brought this salted fish by his side every few days.
Zhang Liang was not stupid.
Now, he seemed to be very free.
In fact, it was a disguised form of house arrest.
His every move was being monitored by the Dragon Guards.
Zhang Liang was very clear about how powerful Ying Lin was and had personally witnessed the Dragon Guards 'formidable strength. There was almost no possibility of escaping. Instead of resisting fiercely and asking for trouble, it was better to let nature take its course and wait for death.
At this moment.
Xianyang Palace discussed politics.
The emperor discussed government affairs with his ministers.
Was it really appropriate for him to appear here as a traitor?
Ying Lin didn't feel awkward.
Jiang Shang Ziying treated Zhang Liang like air.
Zhang Xianyu felt extremely awkward. He could only sit quietly with his eyes closed and cultivate.
However, he had heard every single word of the Emperor and the ministers 'discussion.
Putting aside their standpoints.
Towards the Great Qin Emperor.
He had some respect and admiration for her.
Ying Lin decided to fork out five thousand gold taels.
Let the palace maids of the Six Nations Palace learn and give birth.
The palace maids could learn to read, count, and draw.
The Six Nations Palaces would gradually open up light manual production tasks such as weaving, embroidery, and sewing. Everyone, from the former emperor's concubines to ordinary palace maids, would have to participate.
There were tens of thousands of palace maids in the Great Qin Dynasty.
Other than doing some chores.
Its greatest use was to entertain the emperor.
Now that they were gradually mobilized, not to mention how much value they could create, they could at least ease the pressure on the Qin Empire. In the short term, the reputation effect was far greater than the actual benefits!
The emperor no longer sought pleasure.
Instead, he actively encouraged the palace maids to work.
Wasn't this very different from the image of the tyrannical Qin Dynasty that the six Shandong countries had publicized?
Zhang Salted Fish heard it even more.
Ying Lin wanted to carry out a collective transformation of the fifty palaces.
Nearly two hundred halls were emptied of all the treasures and beasts.
He planned to turn the palace far away from Xianyang into a factory, workshop, and production workshop. He could use the nearby water power to produce.
He planned to change all the palaces in and around Xianyang into: The Great Qin Royal Academy of Science, the Great Qin Royal Academy of Engineering, the Great Qin Royal Chamber of Commerce Headquarters, various government offices, and even the Great Qin Royal Hotel.
This series of thoughts.
How bold and innovative.
He couldn't even understand many terms.
Zhang Xianyu admired Ying Lin's creativity and boldness.
This palace was a symbol of power and glory. The First Emperor built the Six Nations Palace and Epang Palace not to enjoy himself, but rather to publicize the country's strength and show that Great Qin was rich and powerful.
To put it more simply, show off one's wealth.
Ying Lin did the opposite in this aspect.
He was an extremely pragmatic person. It was enough to have Xianyang Palace, Six Nations Palace, and Epang Palace. The other palaces and palaces were too redundant. It was better to carry out reforms. They would still be the royal family's property, but they would create greater value and meaning.
Zhang Liang did not know.
How effective was the reform?
The only thing he could be sure of was this.
This would greatly improve Ying Lin's personal evaluation.
He wanted him to gain a good impression among the people and gain the hearts of the people.
At this moment, the discussion had come to an end. The modification plan had been formulated, and the next step was to implement it.
What made things difficult was…
This was a time of war.
Therefore, there was a severe shortage of labor.
The transformation of these palaces would take a lot of time.
"What's the latest situation inside and outside the pass?" Ying Lin asked.”
"Xiang Yu's rebel army will arrive in about ten days.”
"Although we have already sent 10,000 more troops to Hangu Pass, we have already sent 10,000 more troops.”
"But Hangu Pass doesn't have a general guarding it, and its defense is slightly lacking.”
Jiang Shang stroked his beard.
He added another thing.
"In addition, there is one more thing. There has been very little rain in Longxi Prefecture this year, and a great drought might break out. If there is no harvest next year, there will definitely be a famine. Your Majesty should prepare for disaster relief in advance and prevent the Xiongnu from taking advantage of the situation.”
Ziying added," Longxi is the birthplace of the Qin people. It is also one of the frontlines against the invasion of the Xiongnu. If the drought causes the crops to fail, a large number of refugees, hungry people, and thieves may attack and cause a fire in the backyard.”
Regarding this matter.
Ying Lin had already heard about it.
Longxi was suffering from continuous droughts, and the situation was rather grim.
Every time the world was in chaos and dynasties were toppled, famine would always come as expected. Moreover, it would always be used by the rebel army as the fuse for the destruction of the empire. Such things had to be guarded against.
Great drought.
It was considered a natural disaster, right?
King Wu's Chosen One BUFF should be useful.
Combined with the situation.
Ying Lin pondered.
He made the following decision.
"The matter of Longxi."
"Zhen will think of a way to resolve it."
"Ziying will continue to stay in Xianyang to supervise the reform.”
"Jiang Shang, immediately lead the 8,000 Tiger Troop to Hangu Pass and set up defenses.”
"Yes, sir!"
The court session ended.
Jiang Ziya's talent is to defend Hangu Pass.
Ying Lin felt that there wouldn't be any problems.
He walked down from the Dragon Throne, walked to the palace, and looked at Zhang Liang.
Zhang Xianyu was pretending to be asleep. When he felt Ying Lin's gaze, he stood up and followed behind Ying Lin, walking out of the hall.
"What do you think of the drought in Longxi County?”
"I have no opinion."
Alright then.
Ying Lin couldn't help but feel amused.
It seemed like Zhang Liang was determined to be a salted fish without any dreams.
However, as the Sage of Scheming, could such a person really hold it in?
Ying Lin wanted to see.
How long could he be idle?
Ying Lin patted Zhang Liang and said,"Then, my dear minister, why don't you come with me to Longxi?"”
Zhang Liang was speechless.
His face was full of black lines.
Forget about being forcefully conferred the title of guest elder.
Now, he even addressed her as his beloved minister.
A dignified emperor doing this was truly shameless!
This was also thanks to Zhang Liang's indifferent temperament and letting nature take its course.
If it was a fiery and unyielding person who felt insulted, he would probably splash blood all over his body in anger.
Ying Lin made a move.
Zhang Liang was slightly surprised.
Although it would still take some time for Xiangyu to arrive.
However, Hangu Pass was already in danger, so they should quickly set up defenses.
From Zhang Liang's past observations, Ying Lin was a cautious person.
However, this time, the task of setting up defenses at Hangu Pass was actually handed over to an old man who was not very famous. It was somewhat against common sense and once again made people feel puzzled.
The six countries outside Shantung were man-made disasters.
Longxi County had encountered a natural disaster.
How could a natural disaster be overcome?
