Chapter Fourteen: I have a dream
When the portal disappeared again, Lu Buwei summoned more than 200 people from the Expedition Division to hold a small meeting and delivered a speech titled I Have a Dream.
"I am originally from Puyang, Wei State. Our family was in the jade business at the time. At first, I just wanted to become a big businessman like my father."
"Later, I followed my father to do business in various countries. I saw completely different scenery in various countries and met many different people. My ideal became to become a wealthy businessman in the world. I want to become the first-class businessman of the contemporary era.
."
"When I met the late king in Handan, my ideal was to help the late king return to the Qin Dynasty. At that time, I was thinking that if Tao Zhugong could help the Yue Kingdom defeat the Wu Kingdom and dominate the south, could I also help the Yue Kingdom defeat the Wu Kingdom and dominate the south?
What if a wealthy merchant becomes the prime minister of Qin?"
"Later, through hard work, I also realized this ideal. I, Lu Buwei, have struggled all the way from a small Weiguo businessman to become the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. Any idea can influence thousands of people."
"Now that I have joined the Expedition Division, I have seen a different world that is completely different from Great Qin. My ideals have changed again. I dream of entering the heavens and the worlds, of seeing the scenery of different worlds, and even of immortality.
Immortal!"
"You were born in the best of times. This is an era where those with strength and ability can quickly rise to the top! But it is also the worst of times. Without ability, no matter how high your background is, you will not be able to reach a high position."
"Now the whole world is in front of us. As long as you work hard and struggle, you can become a doctor or a minister. Jiuqing is not a dream. The three princes are also within your reach. You can be crowned a prince and become a prime minister right before your eyes!"
"Everyone, let's work hard for the empire, for the king, and for ourselves!"
…
In Da Qin, after the portal was closed, Ying Zheng lay on the grain, smiling and looking forward to the future before falling asleep not long after.
He slept peacefully and had a sweet dream. In the dream, he saw himself sitting on a dragon throne. The civil servants on the left were Shang Yang, Li Si, Xiao He, Zhuge Liang, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Liu Bowen...
The first among the generals standing on the right is Mr. Bai, followed by Wang Jian, Han Xin, Li Mu, Li Jing, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang...
As for his harem, it is filled with beauties from countless eras in the world. Some of them are from the Six Kingdoms, some are from the Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, some are martial arts, and some are immortals...
These days, Great Qin's reform has begun. The political reform is okay, but the requirements for food in other aspects of reform are really too high.
If the people don't have enough to eat, then any reform will be vain and useless.
Without food, it is impossible for the army to have three meals a day, let alone continue to train every day. It will mutiny. Even if the army does not mutiny, the nutrition cannot keep up and the stomach is not full, the soldiers will be trained to death.
Without enough food, it is impossible to build roads on a large scale, or even to build water conservancy projects on a large scale. Without good water conservancy projects, even if farmers and officials are proficient in advanced agricultural technology, it will be difficult for them to make a living without rice.
And if we can't even make it possible for all the people to eat three meals a day, then the subsequent series of reforms will be more like talking in a dream and pure nonsense.
These days, he is actually under the greatest pressure. During the five-year plan reform, the demand for food is really too great. If the food is not transported to Daqin, it will be ruined.
Although it was only 300,000 dan at the moment, it proved the feasibility of transporting food from another world.
Nowadays, the total population of the entire Great Qin is only about 10 million, and 10 million dan of food is equivalent to one dan per person. Plus wild vegetables, plus the local food of Daqin, it is almost enough.
At least that’s enough for this year!
…
Just when Ying Zheng was dreaming with a smile, Dong Jun also came to Donghuang Taiyi's residence.
This is the Yin Yang School, which is a school that is separated from Taoism. It is said that it was separated five hundred years ago. It was a very ancient era. At that time, the ritual and music conquests came from the emperor. Even Laozi
None were born.
The leader of the Yin Yang family calls himself Donghuang Taiyi. After each leader succeeds to the throne, he will abandon his previous name and call himself Donghuang Taiyi.
Under the leader Donghuang Taiyi, there are the three guardians of the sun, moon and star and the five halls of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Among them, Dongjun is the successor of Donghuang Taiyi and the candidate for the next Donghuang Taiyi.
The current Dongjun is a very beautiful girl. She looks young, even less than 20 years old. She looks like a 28-year-old beauty who is sixteen or seventeen years old.
The girl was wearing a blue Chudi dress with three-legged golden crows embroidered on it, exuding an extremely strong aura with every move she made.
This is a vision of a master's spirit merging with heaven and earth, and interacting with heaven and earth. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a god-like figure. At a young age, he is already a genuine god-refining master.
Looking at Donghuang who was wearing a mask and covering his face, Dongjun shook her head helplessly. Every time she saw Donghuang, she would try to see clearly what he looked like, but her attempts so far had failed.
In the words of Donghuang, when you see my appearance clearly, it is time for you to become the new Taiyi of Donghuang and inherit the Yin Yang family.
After the failure, Dongjun looked at the surrounding scene in boredom. It was still the same celestial phenomenon that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. The stars moved according to certain rules, full of the mysteries of heaven and earth.
"What did you see?" Donghuang Taiyi said calmly.
His tone has always been like this, and Dongjun has not heard any secrets after listening to him for so many years.
"The trajectory of fate has been changed." Dongjun said word by word.
The Yin Yang family believes that the destiny of any great person will be determined by the stars and geography. However, geography and mountains and rivers are too complex for ordinary people to directly observe.
Therefore, they looked up at the starry sky, trying to deduce the next fate of a certain important person from the trajectory of the stars.
The Yin Yang family has always done this.
It is precisely because of this that in just over a hundred years, the Yin Yang family has returned to its peak. And the initiator of all this is the mysterious Donghuang Taiyi in front of him.
"In the past, there were seven stars close to the Ziwei Star. They each symbolized the kings of the seven kingdoms."
"Two hundred years ago, the closest person there was Wei Wenhou. He used the wanderers from the Six Kingdoms headed by Wu Qi to start reforms and train Wei soldiers...For a time, Wei's national power increased greatly. He defeated Zhao, Han, Qi, Yan, and Qin
, is a well-deserved overlord.”
"After that, it was the State of Zhao that was closest. At that time, the monarch of the State of Zhao was King Wuling of Zhao. He was dressed in garb and rode on horseback to advocate reform..."
