Chapter 51 Communication
Protons were common during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The earliest protons were mutual competencies of Zhou and Zheng. Their original intention was to seek mutual trust. Later, wars were frequent, and big countries suppressed small countries, and small countries had to condemn the prince to the big countries.
Chu was originally a great country. King Huai had not condemned the prince to other countries before, but it was different after King Huai. Crown Prince Xiong Heng not only conferred Qin, but also to Qi. After King Huai seized Qin, Xiong Heng returned to the country to ascend the throne and became King Qingxiang of Chu. Xiong Yuan, the son of King Qingxiang of King Qingxiang, also the current King of Chu, had also conferred Qin for more than ten years. After Qin married the princess of Qin, he also gave birth to two sons: Changping Jun and Changwen Jun. Four years ago, the account of Chu was not settled. Now, it is normal to ask the prince of Chu to enter Qin as a throne. In the Xianyang City Palace, there are already the princes of Yan, Qi, Han, and Wei. What's wrong with having one more prince of Chu?
"Are you trying to attack Jing?" King Zheng of Qin was still thinking about Lu Buwei's plan, and the State Wei Huan Qi had already asked.
"If the Jing people do not condemn the proton, they will fight with Han and Wei to attack Jing." Lu Buwei said. "The most important Jing people are Xia and Hubei. The copper mines in the southeast of the southeast are more than those in the Qin State's Shaofu. If they take them, the copper in the world may be my."
"No." Huan Qi shook his head quickly, "The State of Zhao has not been destroyed, and the battle between Qin and Chu cannot be opened without permission. If Zhao has to breathe, it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future. King, the strategy of attacking Zhao cannot be changed. Those who change are afraid that Zhao will be strong again. If Han, Wei and Qi have obtained Jing land again, it will be very disadvantageous to me."
The prime minister only considered the State of Chu, but the State Guard considered the world. The Qin King's government naturally distinguished clearly. Just when he was about to agree with Huan Qiong's opinion, Lu Buwei also asked: "If you do not attack Jing, you can also act. Since Huang Xie wanted to establish a prince, he would be happy to see his success when he heard that our Qin State was seeking qualities. The eldest son Jing entered Qin, and the King of Jing refused to allow him to return. Huang Xie would establish a prince. At this time, if Jing Hua attacked, kill Huang Xie and set up a brooding Chu, the people of Jing would be in trouble and could not save Zhao again."
"Good!" Qin Wangzheng smiled and smiled. After laughing, his face suddenly became a little ferocious: "If this plan is done, if Jing does not save Zhao, Zhao will be destroyed."
"I am waiting for my king." The court minister congratulated, but he knew in his heart that the king hated Zhao State very much, and Zhao State must be destroyed.

From Shouying to the border county, it is more than 600 miles to Chengyang; when entering Qin's territory, crossing Nanyang, passing Wuguan and reaching Xianyang, it is more than 1,300 miles. It is sent by the capital of Ying. Although there are fast horses in Qin's territory that send messages day and night, it still takes more than 20 days to Xianyang. When sending messages from Xianyang to Shouying, it is only 60 miles a day for ordinary business travelers in Chu's territory, and it is nearly a month.
The secret report about the Marquis had already been decided on Xianyang, and the documents were naturally spread out quickly. After Yu Tongbai Mountain entered the Chu territory, he happened to hand it over to Xiayang, Qin Shang, who entered Chu to serve as Shang. He would bring this secret letter to Yingdu.
Xia Yang's entry into Chu and Shang was the order of Juzi, but this matter still requires the assistance of the Shaofu and the Prime Minister. In addition, before departure, he went to a place that no one knew and stayed for more than ten days. However, he was very secretive about this matter. Even if he failed to meet the general and had to enter Chu with him, he did not say a word.
"There is Chengyang in front." Eilai, dressed as the leader of the caravan, said. The remaining veins of Tongbai Mountain were undulating and the forests were dense. Walking on this official road with green trees, the journey was not only not hard, but it had a bit of an outing. However, when the concubine who followed Xia Yang into Chu passed the customs, she walked back to the border city of Chu, and bought a lot of corn, silk cloth, and salt sauce. The convoy had to hire three more cars. The Chu State lacked horses, and the ox-pulled car slowed down everyone's itinerary, so that Eilai would complain and wanted Xia Yang to sell it at a discount after he arrived in Chengyang.
"Oh, Chengyang is ahead, so fast?" Xia Yang never left Qin State in his life. After entering Chu State, he felt fresh everywhere. He pointed to a giant pine nearby and said, "The four of them cannot wrap this pine together. Why not cut off this beam of material?"
"Cutting? Bird!" There are standing cars and sitting cars. When evil comes, they are used to standing cars. He holds swords and chews a plum on his chest with his hands. Perhaps the sound of the bird was not very loud just now. He vomited the plums hard and cursed: "Cutting a bird! The mountains, lakes, ponds and seas of Chu are owned by the kings and nobles. The common people only have fields. Cutting wood into the mountains is to steal. If they are caught, they must peel off the skin. It is fine to own it by the kings and nobles, but those kings and nobles do not care about the things in the mountains at all, so they would rather let them rot in the mountains."
"It's actually like this." When Xia Yang was in Qin, he heard that Chu State had a lot of land and abundant resources, rice, fish soup, but the government was not capable of doing anything. He only had huge treasures but abandoned them in the mountains. It turned out that was indeed the case.
"The Chu people are lazy and lazy. I am afraid that they will get into their habits for a long time. Junior brother, please be very careful. Don't forget that you are... you are a man of the ink." After the complaining evil came, he seemed to think of something, and advised Xia Yang with gentle words. Unfortunately, the emperor's hands in the front cars suddenly stopped and bowed to a wooden pillar in the distance.
"Junior brother, the people of Chu still believe in ghosts and gods, so you must be careful." Eilai said again. The Mo family's "Ming Ghosts" were "Ming Ghosts", but Qin Mo did not believe in ghosts and gods.
"Senior Brother Xie." When he first entered the Chu realm, Xia Yang heard all the evil things, but he was still confused about the Chu people's worship of the wooden pillar. Looking closely, he saw that the wooden pillar stood above the house of the post station, more than five meters high, with a long wooden pole horizontally at the upper end, and two small poles hanging from both ends of the long wooden pole. At first glance, it looked like the word "南" without showing. The word "南" is weird, and what's even more strange is that the word can move. The small pole either goes up or down, and the horizontal pole is sometimes left or right, forming different figures.
"This is His Highness, the eldest son, praying for the king." He vaguely heard someone say this.
"Senior Brother, look." The word "headless scarf" has changed again, and Xia Yang quickly let the evil look at it.
The word "南" is really moving. Every change of it has some rules: each posture will be fixed for four or five breaths, and then change to another posture, and the direction is facing the front of the official road.
Xia Yang could only see these clues. He was not sure that this was the latest communication pole set by the Chu people, imitating the visual telegraph system invented by the Frenchman Qi Pei in the 18th century. Although there are only three movable wooden poles on the wooden pillars, they can form more than 190 configurations. The most important thing is to be fast. From the Qin-Chu border to Yingdu, if the weather is good, the time for information transmission will not exceed three minutes.
"1,4,9,9,2,1,7..." When Xia Yang asked the evil to see it, the clerk in the high room of the Bingbao beneath the wooden pillar was gathering in a fixed simple telescope, reading the numbers awkwardly. The literacy rate of Chu State was not high, but it was not difficult to just recognize the ten numbers 0-9, and ten visual compositions were not difficult.
"1,4,9,9,2,1,7..." A minor official reads and records the numbers. Another minor official skillfully pulls the rope at the bottom of the wooden pillar while repeating the readings, allowing the wooden poles on his head to form the corresponding shape of the numbers, and passes the same information to the back station. The information is transmitted one by one. After arriving at the Sima Mansion of Shouying, these numbers are converted into text according to the password book and sent to the hands of the Grand Sima Nao. This is the test, and he is one of the judges of this test.
"Wrong. What Sima originally wrote: The Qin people attacked me in large numbers, with 50,000 soldiers and 10,000 chariots and cavalry. In the first battle, I lost one army and led one person...." Since it was a test, there were drafts. After comparison, I found that many places were inconsistent with the drafts sent.
"The subordinates should check it themselves." Each information station has an information transfer record. It is easy to find out which site makes an error based on the original manuscript.
"One of the ten mistakes is that the Grand Sima doesn't have to be demanding. I think this station should be widely set up, one for one." Huang Xie was also there. He also supports this thing. Although each station has to set up a giant tree, four people, and a pair of precious crystal telescopes, it is better than a fast horse communication. Military affairs can use this communication, and government affairs can also use this communication.
"The Yin is wrong. Military affairs are not government affairs, so we must be foolproof." Naojiu listened to Xiong Jing's tone. "And military affairs should have a military affairs stand, and should not be confused with government affairs battles."
"The war in military affairs should be separated from the war in government affairs." Deng Sui was also there, and Cai Bao was injured but he had not healed, so he temporarily took over the armor of the Eastern Palace.
"It's no danger to separate. It's just that the post station has always been under the jurisdiction of the Yin Mansion, and the Grand Sima wants to set up military affairs." Huang Xie smiled and returned the report in his hand to Deng Sui, and then went out.
"You..." He left Naojiu only understood what he meant: it is OK to build a military service station, but Ling Yin's mansion would not pay. "Where is Your Highness?"
"Your Highness is building a mansion, saying that something happened in the workshop." Deng Sui replied. This month, the king could barely get up to handle official duties, so the prince stayed in the mansion all day and only returned to the East Palace to attend classes in the afternoon.
"I'll go build a mansion." Naojiu went to find someone without thinking.
Xiong Jing has always wanted to build ships, but the things that are actually produced are not much related to shipbuilding. Now the largest production is water trucks, which are produced in more than 200 times a day, but the water trucks have the most problems. From time to time, there is less salt to ask for help. I guess I asked a lot a while ago, so I didn’t dare to come back. Xiong Jing thought that the production was stable, but I didn’t expect a big problem this time: the rotor axle at one end of the water truck was 0.5 cm shorter than the drawings.
After Xiong Jing's guidance and education last time, the ox-pull production line that cannot be named was still used. The water truck was off the line very fast, and there was a saying that "the ox-pull production is made". During the first official business day of the King of Chu, Yin Dao talked about the benefits of the ox-pull production line for a long time, praising his son for his intelligence. Now, the production line with more than 200 water trucks on his birthday has been completely suspended.
"Why didn't you find it early?" Looking at the pile of slats and leaves in the workshop, Xiong Jing's expression was normal.
"Your Highness, your subordinate is dereliction of duty. Please punish him." Shaoyan is the general manager, so he will naturally ask if there is any problem.
"There will be punishment naturally. What we need to know now is why the test is useless? What about your eyes?" It is difficult to understand if there is a mistake. If you don't face the mistake, it will be difficult to accept it if you just say punishment to Xiong Jing.
"Your Highness..." Xiong Jing said that the person with his eyes was trembling all over, thinking that he wanted to kill someone.
"Your Highness, there are 1,367 bad water trucks. If the short axis is at the front end, it does not need to focus, and it will not hinder the traffic; if the rear end..." Gongshujian on the side quickly smoothed out.
"The bad ones are burned; those who are dereliction of duty..." Xiong Jing exhaled, "fighting."
