Chapter 45-Shocking Information! (New book!)
"Hand it over!"
Ying Zheng, who was sitting in the study, said.
Outside the door, a servant respectfully walked in with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji reached out his hand and took the bamboo slip, then placed it on the desk in front of Ying Zheng.
After the first time Su Mu offered medicine to Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng had sent people to Liaodong to investigate Su Mu's situation.
Because Langya wasn't Su Mu's registered residence, there was no information about Su Mu here.
However, Su Mu had once said that he had served in Liaodong, which was why Ying Zheng wanted to go to Liaodong to get more information about Su Mu.
Spreading open the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng looked into the distance.
To his surprise, Su Mu's information did not come from the household registration office, but from the army.
"In the winter of the first emperor's thirty-sixth year, there was heavy snow in Liaodong. The Donghu tribe plundered the south. Su Mu's labor camp met with the Donghu tribe's Saerha tribe and fought. Thirty-six rebel soldiers were killed, and one hundred and eighty-seven people died in Su Mu's camp.”
"In the winter of the first emperor's thirty-sixth year, Su Mu went missing for more than ten days. He found the base of the Sa Er Ha tribe and returned to report. The next night, he launched a surprise attack on the Sa Er Ha tribe, killing more than two thousand enemies and seizing thousands of livestock.”
Ying Zheng read while reading.
Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, both Li Si and Feng Quji were stunned.
Li Si was stunned because Su Mu had never mentioned these things.
Great Qin had a military merit system, and those who had done something good would be rewarded and those who had done something wrong would be punished. This sort of military merit was no ordinary military merit, and if Su Mu had stayed in the army, he would have been a Deputy General.
But why had Su Mu never mentioned it?
Also, why didn't he stay in the army?
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji gently stroked his beard and nodded.
However, Ying Zheng's words were not over yet.
"In the 37th year of the First Emperor's reign, in the second month of winter, the Sa Er Ha tribe was destroyed, causing the Eastern Hu army to attack. Ten thousand cavalry harassed the border. Because of Su Mu's previous meritorious service, he led a battalion alone and discovered the Eastern Hu tribe's movements in advance. He also suggested that the army set up an ambush at the Twin Peak Pass.”
"General Li Xin listened to Su Mu's suggestion and set up an ambush at the mouth of the twin peaks. In one battle, he killed thousands of enemies and seized thousands of warhorses!”
"In the early spring of the first emperor's thirty-seventh year, Li Xin was ordered to reclaim wasteland. Su Mu presented a new type of plow, which greatly increased the speed of plowing.”
" In the fifth month of the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign, Donghu sent troops south again to take revenge for their two defeats. Dozens of Donghu tribes united and sent thirty thousand troops south. The war was imminent. Su Mu led a battalion into the grasslands and took advantage of the emptiness of the grasslands to wipe out six small tribes and one medium-sized tribe. They plundered countless cattle and sheep. The Donghu army was defeated and retreated. Therefore, the order to kill Su Mu was issued in the grasslands!”
"The leader of Donghu promised that anyone who killed Su Muzhe would be rewarded with 10,000 cows and sheep and a population of 1,000.”
Hiss!
A series of gasps came from the study.
Meanwhile, the light in Ying Zheng's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Unexpectedly, even Ying Zheng did not expect this. At first, he only thought that Su Mu was a talent, and had a different way of thinking about problems.
However, the things recorded in the resume in front of him made him see another Su Mu.
Great Qin revered martial arts, and so did Ying Zheng.
It was impossible for the information to be forged.
This gave Ying Zheng an unprecedented understanding of Su Mu.
"That's right, this child is not an ordinary person. Liaodong's situation is bad. Donghu has become stronger than Xiongnu in recent years. Li Xin has sent letters to His Majesty several times to ask for more troops to Liaodong. However, South Yue and Xiongnu are unable to mobilize their troops. I didn't expect this child to be able to counterattack Donghu under such circumstances!”
"If it was decades ago, he would definitely be a shining general star!”Right Prime Minister Feng Quji said as he stroked his beard.
Li Si frowned and did not say anything.
Ying Zheng smiled faintly.
"In the summer of the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor, Su Mu presented the salt-making technique. By using this method, the poisonous salt could be purified and become non-toxic. The sea salt would no longer have any taste, and the salt production would greatly increase!”Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.
As expected!
Su Mu did not lie. He really left the salt-making technique in the Liaodong army.
But at the same time, Ying Zheng was getting more and more puzzled. According to the information, Su Mu was worthy of being rewarded according to his achievements in any of the fields, and his status was not low. But why didn't he stay?
Also, why didn't Li Xin, who was in Liaodong, mention Su Mu's military merits?
Ying Zheng discovered a paragraph of words at the bottom of the bamboo slip.
Looking carefully, he found that these words were not from anyone else but Li Xin.
The reason why Su Mu didn't stay in the army and why he didn't report his military merits was written on it.
Originally, Su Mu wanted to stay in the army. However, when his term of service expired, the Langya County's servant, Nan Fu, who had saved his life, died of illness.
In order to help Nanfu take care of his old father, Su Mu chose to leave Liaodong.
The reason why these military merits weren't reported was because Su Mu himself requested that these military merits be distributed to the people who were once in the same battalion as him and died tragically.
As for the salt-making technique, it was still the same sentence. A man's wealth was a sin!
By the end, the admiration in Ying Zheng's eyes had already been revealed.
Astute, smart, brave, decisive, emotional, and righteous!
It was not too much to use these words on Su Mu.
"Your Majesty, did Your Majesty just mention the salt-making method? Can the poisonous salt be purified to be non-toxic? Is this true?" Feng Quji hurriedly asked.
Ying Zheng rolled up the bamboo slips and nodded.
"That's right, I've seen this technique before, and what Li Xin said in my heart is definitely true!”Ying Zheng said.
"If that's really the case, Great Qin will be able to save a lot of manpower, resources, and money every year. Yunzhong will no longer have to transport salt from the distant interior, and the people in the northwest will no longer have to eat poisonous salt!”Feng Quji said excitedly.
Just as Feng Quji was surprised by this salt-making technique, the servant's voice sounded outside the study again.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Han requests an audience!" The attendant outside the study said.
Zhang Han!
Wang Ben, who had been thinking about how to deal with Wang Li, suddenly raised his head.
That's right, how could she forget about this?
He suddenly remembered something. Many days ago, His Majesty had sent people to protect Su Mu in secret.
If that was the case, then Zhang Han should be here to report the whole story!
"Summon him in!" Ying Zheng put away the bamboo slip in his hand.
