Chapter 491: Offering Treasures, Strange Objects(1/2)
Zhao Huaizhong read the list of gifts and had a warm conversation with the envoys, giving them a lot of encouragement.
The envoys were then taken down, and Meng Yi would be responsible for contacting them on other matters.
Lu Buwei went out to report on the subsequent arrangements for the kingdoms in the city:
"The ministers and others have jointly decided that the borders of the cities and states can be divided into seven major counties.
The county guards are appointed by our country, Da Qin. Among them, the original rulers of the three kingdoms of Qiuci, Dayuan and Jingjue can temporarily succeed the county guards.
Qiuci is a big country with city walls.
The leader of the country serves as the governor of Da Qin, which is conducive to stabilizing people's hearts and has special significance;
Dayuan is the farthest away from the Qin Dynasty, but it is the first city to submit a detailed list of its willingness to return to the Qin Dynasty, so it should be treated favorably. As for Jingjue, the items accepted as gifts are the national treasures of its country, which shows its sincerity in surrendering.
These three kingdoms all have special features, so the ministers thought that they could turn their kings into governors for a term of five years.
Whether he will stay in office after five years will be decided later."
Lu Buwei said eloquently: "Except for the original kings of the above three countries who have been changed to county governors, the remaining kings and clans will move to our country, Xianyang, Qin, or the surrounding cities to live there to prevent recurrence.
In addition, there are a total of seven counties in the city walls, and the remaining four counties are appointed by His Majesty. They can control and supervise each other, which is conducive to long-term peace and stability. The garrison of the seven counties will be uniformly taken over by our Qin army, and the defenses will be changed regularly."
Zhao Huaizhong looked through the books written by Lu Buwei and other ministers about the follow-up strategies for the kingdoms in the city.
There are hundreds of articles in total, very detailed.
The core content is to strengthen the centralization of power in these places, use differentiation, support local forces and other effective strategies summarized after Qin destroyed the country, and strive to make the countries in the Western Regions quickly turn into egg-laying hens that can fulfill their duties and be loyal to the Qin Dynasty.
And strive to let it lay golden eggs to further strengthen Qin.
"The land of Dawan is convenient for raising horses. I think that two more horse farms should be built in Dawan in the future.
The Kucha people are good at dancing and music, and are good at making iron tools. It is expected that the craftsmanship will be strengthened in their territory in the future.
In addition, Daqin will actively encourage trade with the northwest."
"I second the proposal!"
After Lu Buwei finished speaking, Wei Liao, Zhang Cang, Han Fei and others continued to second their opinions.
They had discussed it in advance before they dared to present the agreed content to Zhao Huaizhong, so it was extremely efficient.
After Zhao Huaizhong nodded in approval, he dismissed the court meeting and returned to the study to review other memorials.
Near noon, he took out a few ingenious objects from the gourd that were donated by the kingdoms of the city and played with them.
One of the more special ones is a jade-carved well. It is cylindrical, nearly a foot long, and as thick as a forearm in diameter. The well mouth is concave, the surface is smooth, and the jade quality is warm.
Zhao Huaizhong held it in his hand with a slightly strange expression, feeling that this thing was not only a well, but could also be used to show off.
The most amazing thing is that there is water in the well and it never dries up all year round. Do you think it's strange or not?
When you bring the mouth of the well close to your eyes and look into the well, you will see that the well is deep and the water is sparkling.
The aura inside it slowly became ethereal and illusory, and a man and multiple women appeared.
These men and women quickly started to operate in the well, and they were very clear-cut in the process.
The scene in this well is different every time you look at it, which ensures a sense of novelty and at the same time satisfies your curiosity.
Zhao Huaizhong traced the cause and effect and briefly studied the origin of this jade well.
However, there are two qi of yin and yang between heaven and earth, which are the result of the harmony between heaven and earth and the reproduction of all living beings.
The blending of these two strands of energy can lead to the reproduction of all living beings.
The jade well in front of you fell due to fate, and received a little breath of harmony between heaven and earth, so it can manifest some strange phenomena, with men and women corresponding to yin and yang.
It reflects the desires in everyone's heart. From Zhao Huai's perspective, the manifested men and women are obviously himself and the concubines in his harem.
This thing is a rare treasure collected by Dawan Kingdom. If he didn't want to lick Zhao Huaizhong this time, the leader of Dawan Kingdom would definitely not be willing to take it out.
"It will be quite interesting to show it to the Queen and the others."
There were many other donations, one of which caught Zhao Huaizhong's attention.
It was a jade plate with writing engraved on it.
"...In ancient times, I once saw a stone falling from the sky and landing in the southwest of the earth. Then the void shattered, revealing a deep black hole. The darkness inside was bottomless and could swallow up the heaven and the earth.
Anyone who sees something strange will appear in their dreams every day.
The prophet in my country judged it as a disaster, and then sent the Yinghuo Stone deep into the ground, but it was obtained by the people of Kangyi... The current Yin Qi in Kangyi may be related to this!"
This is something presented by Lord Jingjue. It explains that in ancient times, Jingjue had a natural disaster stone.
The ancients regarded Yinghuo as a disaster star, that is, when meteorites fall, it is an omen for heaven and earth.
The jade plate presented by Jingjue Country tells the story of an incident that occurred in that country in ancient times.
Zhao Huaizhong highlighted the key points after reading it. The Yinghuo Stone fell to the ground, causing unknown changes, and its changes can affect people's minds, often appearing in dreams, like nightmares.
Later, the Yinghuo Stone dropped from the sky was buried by the Jingjue people, and then obtained by the Kangyi people.
Do you suspect that Kang Yi's transformation into a ghost realm on earth is related to the strange Yinghuo Stone?
Zhao Huaizhong had seen something in the consciousness of Kang Yinan Protector Yan Chaoan before. Combined with the contents of the jade tablet sent by Jingjue Kingdom at this time, he could deduce some of Kang Yi's secrets.
What is certain at present is that the Kangyi clan has a foreign object hidden in their hands, which is probably the Yinghuo Stone mentioned on the Jingjue Jade Board.
Zhao Huaizhong judged that the so-called Yinghuo Stone was an innate-grade artifact.
Moreover, there is a high probability that it is a treasure from the underworld, otherwise it would not induce Kang Yi to become a ghost in the world, where the Yin Qi is rampant.
It’s not clear what it is specifically, but it’s obviously not a soul-enchanting pen, otherwise Zhao Huaizhong, who has already practiced the Book of the Earth, wouldn’t have been completely indifferent.
Maybe you should go to King Kangyi to see it.
Zhao Huaizhong collected a few things in his hand and said, "Bao Si, come here."
In the scroll space on the wall, the face of a ghostly beauty who brought disaster to the country and people appeared: "Your Majesty, will you call me?"
Seeing Zhao Huaizhong nod, she walked out of the scroll, her bare feet delicate and delicate, looming under the fluttering skirt.
Zhao Huaizhong handed her the well just now: "Look, there is something interesting here."
"Oh...what is this?"
"This is a treasure. You need to get used to it first. It is suitable for viewing in a simple and profound way. If you put your spiritual thoughts deeply into it, it will give you feedback pictures. If you don't want to look at it, just withdraw your consciousness in a shallow way."
Bao Si didn't understand, but she was obedient and let her have a look. She took the jade well with one hand and found it was a bit big, so she held it with both hands again, put her eyes to the mouth of the well, and looked inside.
When Zhao Huaizhong was watching Baosi's Yin-Yang Well, he released his spiritual thoughts and made contact with the Earthly Book.
Heaven.
In the secret realm of the void, the Kyushu Scroll and the Earthly Script blend together.
Where the two auras meet, chaos surges.
Within the chaos, countless symbols, mantras, and rules of power derived from lines collided and blended with each other. Some merged together, while others induced explosive fluctuations, surging at the intersection of the two.
Their fusion process is long and miraculous, just like the evolution of a world.
In the Book of the Earth, Zhao Huaizhong's consciousness descended.
Because he almost aroused Kyushu Juan's alert last time, he became more cautious and quietly pushed his consciousness a little further into Kyushu Juan along with the book from the ground.
He did it very obscurely, and the thoughts he pushed forward were so weak that they were barely there.
With a little spiritual thought, I successfully sent the Kyushu volume without any abnormalities.
Zhao Huaizhong tasted it briefly and then stopped.
He wanted to try to see if, over a period of time, he could have some impact on Kyushu Volume.
Currently, the fierce battle between Heavenly Court and the Monster Clan is becoming increasingly fierce. While Great Qin is attacking the northwest, Heavenly Court and the Monster Clan are also confronting each other in the eastern region of the Immortal Realm.
Secretly, both sides have sent a large number of manpower, and Tianting is trying its best to find the soul-stirring pen and make plans for the future combination of the Earthly Book and the Kyushu Scroll.
The demon clan aims to destroy the plan of heaven.
"Heaven has not yet found the exact information about the Soul-Educing Pen, but the Soul-Educing Pen is also a treasure that disappeared with the collapse of the underworld in ancient times. From this, it can be inferred that the Soul-Educing Pen is probably also hidden in a certain door of the underworld. Heaven is currently
Then I started to pursue the lost clues about the Gate of the Underworld.”
Zhao Huaizhong withdrew his spiritual thoughts from the book on earth, and his thoughts were ups and downs.
