Chapter 9: The heavens begin with the kidnapping
"I read in the history books that the major dynasties were always afraid of the grassland people in the north. It seemed that they had defeated them, as if they had done something big, and they just didn't know what to say!"
In his words, Lu Buwei couldn't stand this. This is true. During the Qin Dynasty, scholars from other countries never looked down upon foreigners.
Chu State can fight against Da Qin while continuing to attack the south, annihilate the local indigenous people, kill all their men, plunder their women, completely devour and digest them, and make them a part of the Chu State.
Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, the Yan State, which competed with South Korea for the position of younger brother, was able to continuously expand its territory to the north and occupy a land thousands of miles away within a hundred years.
As for the Zhao State, they were able to defeat the invading Xiongnu after their failure in the Battle of Changping and almost all of their young men were killed. Beating the Xiongnu was like beating a son. There was no need for the Han Dynasty to mobilize the power of the whole country and fight several times.
Ten or hundreds of years!
In the era of Queen Mother Xuan, the Qin State completely eliminated the Yiqu State that competed with the Qin State for territory.
When Emperor Zhou divided the world, the core territory was only a thousand miles with Luoyang as the center. But when Ying Zheng unified the world, it was more than ten thousand miles!
Where did the indigenous people on so many lands go? They were just eaten! Their land was occupied, their men were killed, their women were integrated, and their beliefs disappeared directly.
Compared with the countries in the pre-Qin period, the dynasties of later generations were constantly threatened by the people from the northern grasslands. It was really outrageous!
Seeing the extremely angry Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "This is just a history book of this world. When Gu appears in this world, everything will be different. Are you willing to work together for Zhu Xia, Father Zhong?"
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. In the past half month, more than 200 heroes have accepted the reality of traveling across the world and understood the great mission they shouldered.
In the words of one of the heroes: "I was originally prepared to sacrifice for the empire. After all, the salary for being selected was so high, and I was promoted and made a fortune. But who knew that I didn't have to die in the end, and I could still live in this strange place?"
The world continues to get promoted and make a fortune..."
Lu Buwei has been quite busy in the past half month. As the leader, he needs to consider all aspects of issues, including confidentiality issues and subsequent work issues.
Ten million stones of grain and complete control of Qingyi Tower were the two major problems he needed to face. But after all, he had been a prime minister and was once a world-famous wealthy businessman. After Lu Buwei worked hard, he quickly found a solution.
In the base, in a garden somewhere, there is a large sand table in the center. Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng are both here. Lu Buwei is holding a book in his hand, which he has read no less than ten times.
A book whose contents are familiar to everyone.
The name of this book is The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng in five words.
When he first saw this book, Lu Buwei was very surprised and very serious. After he read it for the first time, he directly combined it with the information in the Qingyi Building headquarters and started to compare it.
After he read it for the second time, he determined that the contents of the book were probably true, but were just guesses. Then he began to verify and investigate.
But now, he is thinking about another question.
One book summarized the entire Ming Dynasty. Although the summary was incomplete, the content of the book was limited, and it could not summarize the entire world, a question appeared in Lu Buwei's mind.
Since there is such a book that can summarize the Ming Dynasty today, is there the same book that can summarize the Qin Dynasty?
So in this case, what does Da Qin care about?
Who is the protagonist?
Is it the king?
Who are the supporting characters?
Will he be a supporting character? If so, will he be a villain? What will be his fate?
Looking at the sand table in front of him, Lu Buwei coughed and began to introduce: "In Da Qin, the south was still the territory of the Chu State. It was just a barren area, but the south here has been developed and has a large population."
"The level of farming in the Ming Dynasty in this world is far better than that in the Qin Dynasty. According to surveys, it is common for paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River to yield four stones per mu. Even dry fields in the north can achieve yields per mu with relatively mature farming technology.
Three corpses, this is very enviable."
"Take Jiangnan as an example. The number of farmland here is at least 30,000 acres. The average yield per mu is at least three shi, and the total annual output is no less than 100,000 shi."
"As long as you have money to buy so much grain, you should be careful when buying it. Ten million stones of grain is really nothing. And the price of one stone of grain is about ten taels of silver, so first set a small goal to earn ten thousand
Ten thousand taels of silver."
One stone of grain costs ten taels of silver. This price is ten times more expensive than the price of grain in the Ming Dynasty in the history of the material world. However, considering that this is Lu Xiaofeng's world, it is not incomprehensible.
In this world, Red Shoes, an organization composed of several beauties, can earn tens of millions of taels of silver every year.
Jin Jiuling was just the chief catcher of six gates, but he committed crimes in three months and robbed a total of 80 million taels of wealth.
Huo Xiu just used some of the treasures left over from the Jinpeng Kingdom to create a Qingyi Tower with a total population of nearly 20,000.
These are 20,000 people, and they are all guys who can go out and kill people. They eat meat and drink every day, and sometimes visit brothels. How much money does it cost every year just to maintain this organization?
All signs indicate that money in this world is really worthless!
"On top of the sand table is an on-ground model of Prince Pingnan's Mansion. A mere arrest can take away 80 million taels of goods from Prince Pingnan's Mansion. This is enough to show that Prince Pingnan's Mansion is really rich..."
"The first step is to kidnap Prince Nanping and extort one million taels of gold. If I don't give him the money within three days, I'll kill him. The second step is to take this opportunity to find out where the money is hidden in Prince Pingnan's palace. Here we need to rely on
Iron Hand is old."
"No problem. Even the old guy, the clan leader, is about the same as me in mechanism skills. As long as you let me know where King Pingnan got the gold from, I can figure out where his treasure house is."
"Then use Potu Saburo to dig out a secret passage that leads directly there. The rest will be easy. I guess if you are lucky, one hundred million taels will be enough." At this point, Elder Tieshou touched his own.
Beard, very confident.
This Iron Hand elder was not originally called this name. In the beginning, he was a very ordinary elder in Gongshu's family. Although he looked ordinary and just looked like an ordinary person, he was always afraid of comparing himself to the clan leader Gongshu.
In comparison, he is already a handsome guy.
After obtaining the information about black powder and TNT provided by Ying Zheng, his potential exploded. He kept experimenting and making various explosives. After dozens of explosions, his left hand was also blown off, so he simply gave it to himself
Equipped with an iron hand.
"I can still trust the skills of Elder Tie Shou." Thinking of the black technology of Gongshu Jia, Ying Zheng said with a smile.
