"I've already sent the money to Zhizunai Shifu, and now you're poaching my people again. This is a bit unreasonable."

Ying Chengyu was very dissatisfied.

"A girl on the grassland will not only gather wool to make clothes, she will make the sheep bald."

Isn't this what I said a few days ago?

Li Mu said speechlessly: "...Your Majesty, don't you have your own insights?"

"Can't it be that I have the same sentiment as you?"

"...Your Majesty, you have never been to the grassland. Where did you get this understanding?"

Ying Chengyu touched his chin and nodded: "That's right, your monthly drink price will be halved."

Li Mu had a look of displeasure on his face.

The First Emperor said loudly: "Mr. Wu An likes to drink? All the fine wine in the palace belongs to Mr. Wu An!"

"Brother, isn't it against drinking alcohol, saying it's a waste of food?"

"It doesn't hurt to have a drink and enjoy yourself."

"Mu is addicted to alcohol. Every time he drinks, he will get drunk."

"Wu Anjun has a true temperament."

"Double standards, right? Why did you call me a bitch when I was drunk? Didn't you tell me that I have a true temperament?"

"..."

Gai Nie looked at the three people talking to each other, then reached out to the servant and asked for a pot of tea soup.

The peerless swordsman sat on the stone bench, looking at the three of them expressionlessly, sipping the tea soup with relish.

Your Majesty licks the drunkard, the drunkard licks the young master, and the young master licks the majesty. Nie has never seen the love triangle that the young master mentioned, and it should be similar to this triangle licking.

Zhao Gao looked at the leisurely Genie in confusion.

What is this plague god doing?

Going to the theater?

Watch His Majesty's show?

It’s getting too much!

I really want to go there and drink tea...

"You're such a bastard! Are you going to compete with me for someone else? If you're going to appoint someone to govern Su Neishi, then why not appoint another general?"

"You think I don't want to? I lied him to stay in Qin. He doesn't want to be loyal to you. What can I do?"

"If you want Mu to join the dynasty, there is nothing wrong with it. If the King of Qin gives up the throne to your Majesty, Mu will immediately put on his armor."

"You think I don't want to? This guy hasn't gone to court for ten years, but I forced him to go to court once. He doesn't want to be the emperor. What can I do?"

"..."

A servant immediately reported what happened in the front yard to the old fisherman by the pond who was fooling both the fish and himself.

The old fisherman still had a relaxed and contented expression on his face, and he gently raised his hand.

The servant bowed lightly and quietly retreated.

It has been nearly ten years since the old man came to Chang'an Jun's Mansion. He fishes by the pond every day.

On the water surface, the fish float that was originally floating quietly suddenly trembled and swayed in circles.

There is no wind on the surface of the pond, and there is no anger under the water to make the carp hit the silver needle.

The shaking of the fish float is caused by the shaking of the fisherman's hands.

A fisherman's hands are shaking because he is confused.

"If he hadn't taken his mother and son back to Qin, everything would have been fine. How come the young King of Qin doesn't want to be the King of Qin..."

The sigh that seems to be absent is vague.

No one listens to the businessman's words, only the carp beside the pond listens.

Chang'an Junfu.

Ying Chengyu's bookstore.

Outside the study room, only Zhao Gaoan was guarding safely.

Gai Nie...

He strolled around as if he were home, visiting friends in a very natural way.

He first had a competition with Jing Ke and gained some new insights into Jing Ke's swordsmanship. After this battle, Jing Ke stayed in bed for three days.

Then he found the old man by the pond, cut off the fishing rod in the old man's hand with a sword, and left gracefully.

Gai Nie visits friends...

This peerless swordsman is much more comfortable than in the palace.

The First Emperor believed that he was safest in two places, one was the imperial palace, and the other was the Chang'an Palace.

Gai Nie believed that the First Emperor was safest in the Chang'an Palace.

"Gong Lu, do you want to have a sword show?" Gai Nie stopped the old man who was cleaning Ying Chengyu's bedroom.

"Can."

The old man held the broom and concentrated on sweeping the floor without raising his head.

Inside the library.

The First Emperor was sitting on the cushion.

Ying Chengyu lay on his side on the bed.

On the shelves on three sides, there are not books using bamboo slips as carriers, but paper books one by one.

The titles of these paper books are marked on the sides, including "Chemistry", "Lord of Mysteries", "Journey to the West", "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", "91 Learning Materials"...

The First Emperor glanced at the white books on the three shelves. It was not surprising at all. While drinking the tea on the table, he said to Ying Chengxuan: "Books are sacred things that entrust the thoughts of the sages. Reading is to understand the knowledge of the sages."

I think it is a sacred thing to sit upright and read. If you put a bed in the study room, do you still like to read on the bed? This is not beautiful."

"It's troublesome. My father didn't care about me when he was here, and the teacher I found for me didn't care about me. You just kept talking about it. What posture do you need to read? It's red tape. If you don't read it carefully, you just treat it as an ancestral tablet and look at it there.

It’s useless. If you read it carefully, it will be the same no matter how you lie down on your stomach.”

This guy has indeed read more books than I have.

The First Emperor snorted coldly and said: "You always have your fallacies, so let's leave this matter aside for the time being. I ask you, you have placed cement in ten places in the world. This cannot be accomplished in a day, nor can it be accomplished over many years.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Ying Chengyu supported his head with his right hand and said: "Tell you what to do? The world has not been conquered, so what is the use of cement? There are only so many people in Qin, and they are all dragged to fight by you. Where will the people come to build roads?"

"...You have long thought that after the world is unified, I will build roads."

"If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. This is not obvious."

The First Emperor felt frustrated in his heart.

Cheng Xiu's vision is far greater than mine. Before we were unified, he had already thought about the matters after our unification.

Improve the system of prefectures and counties, and propose the parallel system of prefectures and states and the promotion of grace orders.

Cement was invented and stored in ten places in the world for the construction of roads.

He is not as good as me in opening up and expanding territory, and I am not as good as him in strengthening Qin and enriching the country.

Thinking of opening up new territories and expanding the territory, the First Emperor suddenly thought of what Li Mu said to me - Your Majesty is the only one who made Mu know that he would be defeated before he fought.

Could it be that Cheng Xi was not only excellent in governing the country, but also in military skills?

My brother can not only be a great leader in literature, but he can also be a general in military skills?

Now that I think about it, this guy strongly opposed me on the eve of Li Xin's expedition. I thought it was a coincidence at first...

The First Emperor rubbed the tea cup with both hands and said softly: "You are a dragon."

What is the imperial brother planning?

Ying Chengyu sat up in agitation and asked warily: "What's the matter?"

"Now that the Xiongnu have not been exterminated and the Hundreds of Yue have not been pacified, I am very worried."

"It's not that I don't give you Li Mu, it's that Li Mu doesn't follow you."

"I mean, I want you to be my general. How about going on an expedition?"

"Brother, do you still dare to let me lead the troops? Are you suffering from some kind of madness?" Ying Chengyu looked at the First Emperor with a look that said, "Have you lost your head?"

"Back then, I led an army to conquer the State of Zhao, but was severely defeated in Tunliu. All 50,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out. General Fan Yuqi fled to Yan in fear of crime. I myself was captured by Zhao. Fortunately, the emperor's brother captured me with fifteen cities.

In exchange. This matter was regarded as a great shame by the people of Qin. The people of Xianyang scolded me for the shame of staying here for ten years. Have you forgotten?"
