Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 160 Mohist Shipbuilding

"Father, we must conquer it."

"North Korea and this island will help each other, and in time it will become the gateway to our Qin State."

Fusu's eyes sparkled as he spoke, wishing General Li Mu would knock him down right now.

"I have the same intention."

As he spoke, Ying Zheng had already begun preparing to write an edict to Li Mu.

At 3 p.m., Fusu finished his government affairs and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he quietly called out a few of his brothers.

"You must watch over Father and not let him touch those elixirs. My eldest brother has something to do, so I'll leave this task to you."

"Is it possible?"

Looking at the serious and threatening look in the elder brother's eyes, he couldn't help but do it.

The three little ones nodded and agreed obediently.

Fusu patted Zigao's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Do a good job. I believe in you."

Then he turned around and left gracefully.

The three little ones blinked blankly and looked at each other.

I knew that there was something wrong with my eldest brother's sudden concern today.

It turned out that they were asked to look after their father.

Will my father listen to them?

The three little ones had no choice but to line up with their heads down and walk into the hall to continue slowly processing the few remaining memorials.

Fusu, who had left, quickly came to find Zhang Yuanqing.

"Teacher, General Li Mu sent a letter today, saying that no Xiongnu or Donghu people are seen on the grasslands anymore."

"However, General Li Mu discovered a piece of territory, which should be the Korea that the teacher mentioned."

"My father has allowed General Li Mu to continue his campaign against Korea. I'm sure many slaves will be sent back soon."

Is General Li Mu addicted to capturing prisoners?

"Has the king said anything about the arrangements for Qi?"

Fusu smiled and moved closer to his teacher. "Teacher, my father has already sent Shangqing Yao Jia and Dun Ruo to Qi."

"The King of Qi lacks talent and trusts his Prime Minister Hou Sheng. My father has asked two high ministers to persuade Hou Sheng to voluntarily surrender to Qin."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing his teacher like this, Fusu said no more.

"Once the king's summons reaches General Li Mu, Korea will be conquered in no time."

"I don't know what happened to the Mohist-style modified Si Nan."

"Let's go check it out tomorrow."

"There's also a new cargo ship. It should be almost finished."

"Then Fusu will go with the teacher tomorrow."

Seeing Fusu's curiosity, Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

"can."

The next day, the master and the disciple had breakfast and went to the Mo family workshop.

This is the newly opened shipbuilding workshop.

"Greetings to the Right Prime Minister, the eldest son."

As they walked into the workshop, they saw many Mohist disciples busy with their work. They did not disturb them and found Yan Fang in the courtyard.

At this time, Yan Fang was assembling a bearing with his disciples and was completely unaware of the arrival of Zhang Yuanqing and Fusu.

Seeing this, Fusu quietly moved a chair over for his teacher to sit down, and the master and disciple waited for Yanfang.

"Master, it's done."

After an unknown amount of time, the disciples assembled the last part, experimented with it, and were filled with excitement.

"Finally it's done. Your Majesty's blueprint is so exquisite."

"Exactly. I don't know what's wrong with the Marquis's brain. He seems to know everything."

“And they know more than we do.”

"Exactly, exactly."

"Otherwise he is a marquis."

Fusu listened and looked at the teacher with amusement.

Zhang Yuanqing turned around and glared at Fusu.

As the child grows older, he becomes more naughty.

"Master Hou."

Finally, someone found Zhang Yuanqing.

"Greetings to the Marquis."

"The eldest son."

Yan Fang dropped the handkerchief he was using to wipe his hands and walked up to Zhang Yuanqing. The disciples also came over, pushing and joking.

"Please get up quickly."

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, my Lord."

"That's fine. I'm just here to take a look today. Your business is important, so I'll wait a little longer."

Zhang Yuanqing stood up, and Yan Fang took the two of them into the living room.

"Brother Yan Fang, look at the parts you just assembled. Is the boat almost done?"

Speaking of this, Yan Fang's face was full of excitement.

"Your Majesty, you came at the perfect time today."

"Just now, I and my disciples assembled the final bearing. What remains is the hull of the ship."

"Those are easy. By next year, the large ship that the Marquis has drawn will be ready."

"This is really great."

Zhang Yuanqing stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yan Fang and all the Mohist disciples."

What Zhang Yuanqing used was the shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty. It would have been extremely difficult to build it during the Qin Dynasty.

But the Mo family looked at the drawings as if they had found a treasure and studied them day and night.

Zhang Yuanqing admires this spirit.

Fusu followed his teacher and bowed to Yan Fang.

Yan Fang hurriedly stood up and held up the two men's arms with both hands.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this."

"I have no way of repaying the Marquis' kindness to my Mo family. How can such a trivial matter be worthy of such a treatment?"

Yan Fang did not mention the hardships involved, but only used trivial matters to represent the handfuls of hair that were pulled out.

"Brother Yan Fang, please sit down."

"Since the Mohists came to Qin, they have brought many benefits to the Qin State. How can this be considered a trivial matter?"

"The Qin State cannot do without the Mohist school, and the people cannot do without the Mohist school."

"No one can replace the Mohist achievements."

"Your Majesty, the Qin State and the history books will surely remember the achievements of the Mohist school."

Yan Fang was deeply moved and wanted to continue working hard to build the big ship.

"Brother Yan Fang, will the ship be docked in the coastal area?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"If the Marquis hadn't come today, I would have gone to look for him."

"I plan to take my disciples to the coast to station and build a large ship."

"It's really inconvenient in Xianyang."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

"When are you planning to leave, Brother Yan Fang?"

"Naturally the sooner the better."

Speaking of this, Yan Fang became a little impatient.

He couldn't wait to witness such a magnificent ship being born in his own hands.

"Brother Yan Fang, please take your disciples and rest for a few days. I will report to the king and send someone to escort Brother Yan Fang and his party."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After leaving Chuanfang, Zhang Yuanqing went to see Sinan's progress.

Xu Ke directly gave Zhang Yuanqing a Si Nan and asked him to take it away.

The improved Si Nan was light in size, and Fusu carried it around.

It took a long time to have enough fun.

"Teacher, is this Si Nan used to determine direction during navigation?"

"nature."

"The sea is full of dangers and it's easy to get lost."

"If we have the Si Nan to guide the direction, our Qin army will have an extra layer of protection."

The master and disciple chatted all the way and soon arrived at Zhangtai Palace.

At this time, Xia Wuqi was holding the medicine box and reporting to Ying Zheng.

The three little ones looked at what Xia Wuqie was holding in his hand, and their hearts were lifted.

"Your Majesty, I have carefully examined this pill. It is indeed different from the ones made by the sorcerers before."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng put down his pen.

The three little ones wanted to go up and cover Xia Wuqie's mouth.

Why did this old man come when the eldest brother was not around?

What should we do.

The three little ones wailed inwardly.

But no one could hear it.

"I have only identified a few herbs, one of which appears to have anesthetic properties."

Time was too tight and Xia Wuqie didn't have much time to confirm.
