Chapter 67

When the news of King Zhao's offering of Heshi Bi was sent back to Xianyang, the Korean Cultural Commercial District was still under intense construction. The drawings were ready-made, the manpower was ready-made, and the money was ready-made. It was not difficult to build, but the interior had to undergo a certain degree of transformation.

If you want to improve the utilization rate of buildings, you must first remove some of the things that are beyond the rules. Secondly, you must make an overall plan for the entire commercial area, strive to be scientifically laid out and easy to manage.

Fortunately, the Shaofu Yamen directly under the jurisdiction of Dongshi was a bit crowded, so Fusu arranged some of the shops in it, all of which were already running businesses. You only need to move a seat and notify old customers to operate normally, which is not a big deal.

With these stores as a base, as long as other stores are not particularly unscrupulous, they should be quickly promoted.

It is just that the specific arrangements for which merchants should be settled in and what business each region operates is still a topic that needs to be discussed in depth.

In addition to the above ground part, Fusu is also preparing to practice the underground drainage system of this Korean cultural commercial area, and strive to cultivate a group of construction workers who are proficient in underground drainage system laying through repeated imitation construction. In the future, whether they want to build a new city or a new palace, they can start directly.

Because of so many considerations, the imitation of the Han Palace was built very slowly. The underground part was just back and forth, and the above part could not be seen what it would look like after it was completed.

Many people are very conflicted, worried that after the construction of the Korean cultural commercial area, it will cause strong dissatisfaction among the Eastern countries, and think that Fusu is being built so slowly, is it that it is passive and lazy?

Fusu was quite satisfied with the progress, but thought he was using it to practice, so he didn't have to worry about taking it slowly.

As a result, just one year later, the front line reported that King Zhao had surrendered!

This really caught Fusu off guard.

According to Fusu's memory, Zhao State was indeed destroyed less than two years after King Han surrendered to Qin, but some Zhao nobles fled to establish their country, and they had to be entangled for a few years before they could completely resolve Zhao State.

But now South Korea is gone early, why is Zhao State also defeated early?

What about Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State?

Fusu remembers that Li Mu died at the hands of their own people. Less than three months after Li Mu died, Zhao State was defeated step by step and had no chance to turn around.

In recent years, Fusu did not even have private contact with the officials of Qin, and naturally did not touch Li Mu. Now that he heard that Zhao State surrendered, he inevitably thought of the famous general of Zhao State who could not help even Wang Jian.

Fusu couldn't sit still and ran to see Ying Zheng, wanting to ask about Li Mu.

Ying Zheng happened to discuss matters about Zhao State with others. When he heard that Fusu was coming, he did not avoid Fusu and asked someone to bring him in.

When Fusu saw someone else, he immediately sat beside Ying Zheng obediently and listened.

The content of this small meeting is actually a bit boring, which is to summarize the losses of this battle against Zhao and report on the gains of this battle against Zhao.

Many things inside were to be stored in the warehouse, and the relevant documents were quickly piled up in front of Fusu, asking him to take them back later to prepare for handover and file construction work.

Fusu looked at the mountains of documents in front of him and did not feel tired at all. When the treasury of Zhao State was moved back, the finances of the court would be even easier.

Seeing that Fusu took the documents with anticipation, Ying Zheng seemed to be eager to snatch all the good things into the national treasury, he felt that this kid was just catching in the money now.

Ying Zheng didn't say anything, and waited until everyone else went down, then asked Fusu: "What's wrong with you?"

Fusu was sorting out countless handover documents in front of him. After hearing Ying Zheng’s question, he remembered his purpose and immediately asked: “Father, have you ever seen Heshi Bi?”

Ying Zheng thought Fusu was going to ask something, but when he heard him ask about Heshi Bi, he also thought of the treasure that his great-grandfather had used to exchange for the city.

At that time, his great-grandfather said that he would exchange it for the city, but King Zhao didn't give it to him, so he naturally could not show it to others.

Ying Zheng said, "I have never seen it before, but when it is sent back to Xianyang, it will be fine if you want to see it."

Ying Zheng was calm on his face. In fact, when he received the news from Wang Jian, he had already thought about how to use the Heshi Bi. He was going to carve it into a jade seal for the future after unifying the world in the future and pass it on generations!

Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu and added: "If you want to see it, you will show it to you later."

Fusu happily thanked Ying Zheng, and then asked Ying Zheng about Li Mu.

The first question is of course Is Li Mu still alive?

Fusu said, "I heard that Li Mu was very good at fighting the Huns. If he was still alive, he could tell him how to fight."

Ying Zheng disagreed: "We Qin people have been guarding the western frontier since ancient times. If we want to fight with those grassland people, who can have more experience than us?"

That being said, Ying Zheng is quite concerned about Li Mu.

After teaching Fusu a few words, Ying Zheng told Fusu about Li Mu's current situation: "A man is still alive, but it is not certain whether he can return to Xianyang. He was imprisoned for two months by King Zhao. It is said that he suffered a lot of secret injuries on his body. After he was released from prison, he struggled to defend Handan day and night. As soon as the King of Zhao surrendered, he fell down on the spot. After he rescued him, he would not have eaten or drunk food, and he would probably not have lived for a few days."

Some people want their lives to be simple, but it is difficult for them to change their minds.

Li Mu was born in Zhao State and grew up in Zhao State. Whether he was attacking the Xiongnu in the north or catching the Qin army in the west, he treated his soldiers and the people as his brothers and feet.

In the army, Li Mu ate, lived and trained with all the soldiers, and was very close to them. Outside, Li Mu restrained his soldiers very well, and did not allow them to step on half of the wheat seedlings.

Because of this, Li Mu was particularly loved by the soldiers and the people; but it was precisely because of this that his roots were completely grounded in Zhao State, and he was destined to bear the expectations and responsibilities that were heavier than anyone else.

How can such a person shake his will with wealth and fame and fortune?

If Li Mu hadn't been able to pry it off at all, Ying Zheng wouldn't have spent time to arrange a separate plan for Li Mu.

What's more, Qin State is not short of generals.

Since there is not more than Li Mu, and not less than Li Mu, we cannot accept the enemy generals who are used for our own use. Of course, we should eliminate them early and save trouble.

Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu and asked, "What? You want to see Heshi Bi, and you want to see Li Mu, too?"

Fusu nodded obediently, raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng with bright eyes.

Ying Zheng: “…………”

Ying Zheng had a tense face to tell him not to think about anything, and he quickly prepared to hand over the handover. If he had to do so much serious business, why did he meet someone who was about to die?

Fusu didn't say anything anymore. He was still young, with short hands and feet, and could not move so many handover documents. He borrowed several imperial guards and helped to move them all back to the Shaofu Office.

After Fusu left with the pile of documents, Ying Zheng was busy with other things for a while, and he drafted a letter and asked Fei Ge to send the letter to Wang Jian.

The content in the letter is very simple. It is mainly to ask Wang Jian to send someone to watch Li Mu. Don’t let Li Mu die. If you are sick, you will find someone to treat him. If you don’t eat or drink, just feed him.

Anyway, when you come back, you have to bring a breathing Li Mu, so how can you take it yourself?

Ying Zheng felt that he was not spoiled by his children. After all, Li Mu was a person who had caused him a headache for so long and had lost so many soldiers. It was not an exaggeration to call him a hero. He had to meet him at the last moment, right?

As for meeting my son’s small requirements, it’s just a by the way.

He is not the kind of stupid parents who say everything that children want. If they really give up their children, then they should not spoil their children to heaven?

Wang Jian on the other side soon received a letter from Ying Zheng's flying pigeon. He was a little confused about Ying Zheng's order.

However, Li Mu is already a prisoner, and it is not difficult to send his life back to Xianyang. Wang Jian didn't care much and immediately sent more people to guard Li Mu, strictly preventing Li Mu from committing suicide, and force-food him regularly if necessary.

Compared to Wang Jian's plain attitude, Wang Ben really admired Li Mu for a long time and always wanted to see Li Mu. When he learned about Ying Zheng's request from Wang Jian, he went to see Li Mu himself and advised Li Mu to take good care of his health.

Li Mu ignored him.

He defended Handan for those days, and he was trying his best to suppress his guilt for his subordinates. Now he is sorry for his subordinates and has not defended Handan. How could he survive in the world again? He didn't expect that he was exhausted and fell into a prisoner in the Qin army when he woke up. Now he can't even die.

Wang Ben's persuasion was ineffective, so he could only follow Wang Jian's order and ask people to keep an eye on Li Mu and feed Li Mu from time to time.

Since there were many prisoners who were escorted back to Xianyang and a lot of property to bring back to Xianyang, the army's return journey was very slow.

About a month later, Ying Zheng received the Heshi Bi presented by Guo Kai on behalf of King Zhao.

Ying Zheng did not treat the "meanor" Guo Kai unfairly, and he regarded Guo Kai as his superior on the spot and gave him a lot of money.

Guo Kai was overjoyed and felt more and more that he had taken the right step.

Qin State is very good. The King of Qin is generous and does not speak, but his words sound good, and he will be a high-ranking official as soon as he comes.

When King Zhao learned that Guo Kai was rewarded so well, he finally realized that Guo Kai was the one who joined the Qin court early, but it was too late for him to regret it at this time. He had been packed and sent to accompany King Han.

The King of Han was very friendly to the new neighbor and sent someone to greet him: "Friends, will you form a team to play Jujiao?"

King Zhao ignored him and locked himself in the house and went to autism alone.

Fusu learned from Ying Zheng that Guo Kai's great achievements and did not like such people very much. He quickly came to Ying Zheng and was obedient to the eye: "The child doesn't like him."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and felt that the boy was getting bolder. He said, "He is an official in the court, and he is not doing things for you. What do you want you to do?"

Fusu said, "Anyway, the child doesn't like it." He was bold and exclaimed in front of Ying Zheng, "What if he talks bad about me in the future, what if you suspect me?"

Guo Kai’s skill of slandering who died is too powerful, so he still has to be careful.

Ying Zheng originally wanted to scold Fusu to compare himself with the stupid thing that King Zhao, but when Fusu had dreamed that such a dream, he was really afraid, so he endured the swear words back.

Ying Zheng and Fusu told the truth: "Give him an official position, but he doesn't have to do anything."

There are many nice and leisurely positions in the court, such as being a national lieutenant for Wei Liao. It sounds so loud and the salary is very high. Who wouldn't envy him? But in fact, that position is to leave Wei Liao high there, neither let him do things nor let him surrender to others.

Fusu understood as soon as he heard this, Ying Zheng had no intention of using Guo Kai at all. Such people were only suitable for use, not for reuse. Ying Zheng knew better than him.

Fusu immediately praised: "Father is wise!"

Ying Zheng glanced at the little thing sitting beside him, and saw that his little eyes were full of sincere admiration, and gave him a reward with satisfaction: "Don't you want to see Li Mu? The person has been escorted back, so I will go to see Wang Jian."

The author has something to say:

Ying Zheng: It is impossible to spoil children. What should I do if I spoil them?

Fu Xiaosu (with bright eyes): Father Wang Yingming!

Ying Zheng: Forget it, take what you want
