Chapter 65: The clan war instigated by Ye Chi!

The arithmetic methods contained in the book are concise yet profound!
The First Emperor tried to solve one of the problems:
“Now there is an object whose number is unknown. When you count three by three, there are two left. When you count five by five, there are three. When you count seven by seven, there are two left. How many of them are there?”

Following the method given in the book, he quickly got the answer!

This method of arithmetic is not only simple to understand, but also very practical, which made him more deeply shocked by the wisdom in the book.

He continued to flip through the pages, and when he saw questions and thoughts about the universe, his soul was shocked again!

The book reads:

"Is the space between heaven and earth like a giant bellows? It seems empty, but it will never be exhausted. The more it moves, the more air it can generate."

"..."

At this moment, Ying Zheng seemed to see the figures of Li Er, Zhuangzi, Confucius, Mencius... and other great teachers and moral teachers in his mind!
The book written by Ye Chi actually has the style of a master!!!

He became more and more excited and couldn't wait to continue reading.

When he saw the part about geography, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The book describes in detail the mountains, rivers, customs and local conditions of various places, as well as the climate differences and abundance of products between different regions.

What was even more unbelievable to him was that the book explained the causes and laws behind these phenomena through scientific arguments!
For example, the book states:
"The south is hot and the north is cold. This is due to the movement of the qi of heaven and earth."

Afterwards, Ye Chi used easy-to-understand words to explain that it was caused by the angle of the sun and the orbit of the earth's rotation.

There are countless examples like this!
Ying Zheng was concentrating on reading the books written by Ye Chi, immersed in the vast ocean of knowledge, as if he had forgotten the passage of time, and he forgot to eat and sleep! !
These books are like encyclopedias, covering many fields such as theories of nature, knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry, and the mysteries of the universe. They are all-encompassing and all-inclusive!

The more Ying Zheng watched, the more shocked he became. It was as if he had opened doors to an unknown world! !

In the book, Ye Chi depicts the mysteries of heaven and earth with profound brushstrokes!

The movement of the sun, moon and stars, the formation and changes of mountains and rivers, the generation and disappearance of wind, rain, thunder and lightning...

All of this was perfectly explained in Ye Chi's writing.

Ying Zheng seemed to be in a grand natural landscape, feeling the wonderful connection between heaven and earth!
In addition, the book also explores the mysteries of the universe!

He said: "The sky has nine layers, the earth has eight wastelands, and the universe has countless stars, like grains of sand. The movement of the sun and the moon seems to come from them; the brilliance of the Milky Way seems to come from it."

After that, he began to explain celestial phenomena and celestial bodies, such as what are stars? What are satellites? And so on…

When Ying Zheng read it, he seemed to see the distant stars, twinkling in the night sky like dots of light, illuminating the endless darkness.

He imagined the sun, moon, stars moving in the universe like fish swimming in the water, and the stars in the Milky Way were like shining gems inlaid in the vastness of the universe.

These words stirred up thousands of waves in Ying Zheng's heart. He seemed to be under the boundless starry sky, feeling the vastness and mystery of the universe! !
What is even more surprising is that Ye Chi also put forward many unprecedented viewpoints and ideas in the book.

He said: "Between heaven and earth, there may be many unknown realms, such as the netherworld and the blue sky."

Afterwards, the concepts of the solar system, the Milky Way, various galaxies, and black holes began to be popularized...

These ideas were like opening a mysterious door. As Ying Zheng read, he felt an indescribable excitement. He seemed to see unknown galaxies and celestial bodies. The words were as bright as stars, which shocked and awed him. At the same time, they also inspired his infinite yearning for the unknown world! !
When Ying Zheng read this, he was amazed!
He had never thought that Ye Chi's theory was so profound and even revealed the mysteries between heaven and earth! !

This shock and excitement made Ying Zheng unable to extricate himself.

He read every word eagerly, afraid of missing any wonderful part.

The volumes and bamboo slips were gently turned in his hands, making crisp sounds that were particularly clear in the silent night.

His heartbeat gradually synchronized with the sound of turning pages, as if every turn of the page brought him one step closer to the world of his dreams!
The night was dark and everything was silent, only the lights in Zhangtai Palace were still bright.

Ying Zheng sat alone in the imperial study, having unknowingly read most of the book in his hand.

His eyes were sharp, his heart was surging, and his thoughts were in a tizzy.

Today, the land of the six kingdoms has become his territory, but his ambition goes far beyond that.

He wants to be the true master of the world, the greatest emperor of all time!
He wanted the Qin cavalry to march across the four seas and eight wastelands, and the Ying clan's banners to fly in every corner! !

However, the reality made him feel angry.

The Qin Dynasty stopped at the Baiyue and fought many wars but failed to achieve complete victory.

The incompetence of generals like Tu Sui made him feel heartbroken!
Ying Zheng was filled with resentment. If it weren't for their improper command, the Qin warriors would not have to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood in a foreign land, and in the end, not even their corpses could be left behind!
He slammed the table and stood up, and the books on the table fell to the ground!
"Tu Sui and his ilk have brought disaster to our Great Qin! They have caused our warriors to be buried alive in the sand. How painful it is!!"

There was a flash of anger in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn this endless darkness to ashes.

In his heart, he denounced the incompetence of Tu Sui and others, and felt sorry for those warriors who died on the battlefield!
……

As the sky gradually brightened, Ying Zheng finally finished reading the book written by Ye Chi.

Just at this moment, Li Si hurriedly stepped into the hall, breaking the tranquility of Zhangtai Palace.

He held the bamboo slips in his hands, his brows furrowed, as if he had something important to report!
"Your Majesty, prices in Xianyang City have skyrocketed recently, food is in short supply, and people are living in poverty..." Li Si said in a deep voice, revealing a hint of anxiety, "After investigation, I found that the old clans are behind this matter. They are the ones who are secretly manipulating the market and plotting something bad!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyes instantly turned cold as ice! !

He thought of what he had just read in Ye Chi's book: the danger of the dynasty lies not from outside, but from within!

These old clans were like ulcers and termites, gnawing at the foundation of the Qin Dynasty bit by bit!
"Your Majesty, this matter is of no trivial importance. If we do not investigate the clues of this matter carefully, it may lead to a catastrophe." Li Si continued, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and calmed the anger in his heart.

He knew that he couldn't act impulsively at this time and had to respond with caution.

He slowly said, "Li Si, I order you to investigate this matter secretly. Make sure to find out which clans are involved. At the same time, you must keep it secret and not alert the enemy."

Li Si bowed and accepted the order, saying: "I will obey your order and will not let you down!"

He turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.
