Chapter 74: The Enfeoffment Order is just the beginning!!!
Fusu did not dare to delay and walked into the palace quickly, only to see his father Emperor Ying Zheng sitting on the imperial couch, buried in a mountain of memorials and bamboo slips. His diligence was awe-inspiring!
Ying Zheng looked up and saw Fusu coming. He said slowly, "My son did not return home at night and came to see me. What do you want to report?"

Fusu calmed down and told Ying Zheng what he had heard in the school today:
"Father, I was able to hear Mr. Ye's profound speech in the academy today. It was truly enlightening and moving."

Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hand, looked up at Fusu, and said with a smile: "Oh? What new ideas does Ye Chi have? Tell me!"

Fusu took a deep breath and said slowly: "Mr. Ye mentioned that scientific techniques and mechanical devices can liberate manpower and double production. If our Great Qin can widely adopt this technique and promote mechanical devices, the people will no longer have to do it themselves, and the per-acre yield of the fields will be several times higher than before. The treasury will be full and all industries will prosper! In this way, our Great Qin will have hope of prosperity and strength, and its eternal foundation is just around the corner!"

When Ying Zheng first heard this theory, he was slightly touched.

As a great leader, he knew the scarcity of manpower and the importance of production.

However, the scientific techniques and mechanical devices that Ye Chi mentioned can multiply production in ways other than human power. This is undoubtedly a brand new concept!!
"Go on!" Ying Zheng's face became slightly solemn, and he quickly raised his hand to signal.

Fusu bowed deeply and continued, "Father, Mr. Ye also proposed that dignity is a sword and truth is a cannon, which shocked me greatly!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng became curious and asked, "Oh, what do you mean?!"

Fusu then took out the bamboo slips from his sleeve, handed them over respectfully, and said, "Father, this is the bamboo slip written by Mr. Ye, and it contains the answers!"

Ying Zheng took the bamboo slips and his eyes were fixed on the cannon pattern drawn by Ye Chi and its explanation!
The scorching light in his eyes flickered like the blazing sun, as if it wanted to imprint the words and patterns on the bamboo slips deeply into his heart!
As his gaze moved, the shock on Ying Zheng's face became more and more intense, as if the waves were surging and uncontrollable!

His breathing became rapid, his chest rose and fell, and his hands trembled slightly, as if a ball of blazing fire was jumping in them! !

He imagined the shock and power brought by the cannon. It would be a powerful weapon to conquer distant territories and a magic weapon to consolidate the hegemony of the empire! !
If so, what do the Xiongnu have to fear? ! What do the Baiyue have to fear!!!

Thinking of this, an indescribable sense of pride surged in Ying Zheng's heart.

His eyes became firm and deep, as if he had seen the future prosperity of the Qin Empire.

This pride and shock intertwined together made Ying Zheng's face reveal an unprecedented expression!
He held the bamboo slips tightly, as if he was holding his future destiny in his hands.

At this moment, the shock and determination in Ying Zheng's heart reached its peak. He knew that he had to develop this cannon at all costs to expand the territory and lay the foundation for the future of the Qin Empire.

"Pass on my order, summon the general to be the Minister of the Imperial Household immediately and have him enter the palace for an audience!!"

After a while, the Minister of the Imperial Household came walking up with a serious look on his face, as if he had something important to do.

When Ying Zheng saw the man coming, he handed him the bamboo slips and asked, "Do you recognize this picture? Can you make one based on it?"

The Shaofuqing took the letter in his hand, and as soon as his eyes touched the picture on it, he felt a sudden shock in his heart, as if he had encountered a rare treasure, and his eyes were filled with surprise and eagerness that could not be concealed! !

The ingenuity of the graphics and the smoothness of the lines seem to contain the creation of heaven and earth and the ultimate in artificiality.

The Shaofuqing's breathing became rapid, and he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, who drew this picture? How could he come up with such a masterpiece!!!"

His words were filled with such respect that he even forgot to maintain his usual etiquette!

Seeing this, Ying Zheng was moved. He knew that the cannon was extraordinary because the Shaofu Qing was so excited. He smiled and said:
"If you can make this thing according to the diagram, I will reward you handsomely!"

His voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty! Upon hearing this, the Shaofu Qing raised his head, his eyes twinkling with stars, as if there were ripples on the water. He trembled and said, "Your Majesty, I know that I am not very talented, but if I can participate in the creation of such a divine object in my lifetime, even if there is no reward, it will be the greatest honor of my life!!"

He spoke with great conviction, and every word he said revealed his great enthusiasm for the matter!
Upon hearing his answer, Ying Zheng couldn't help but nod in praise.

He knows very well that only craftsmen with the ultimate pursuit can create stunning works.

He then said, "Since you have made such a determination, I will give you my full support! In the Qin court, you can use whatever you need, whether it is materials, manpower, or money, without any scruples!"

As soon as these words came out, the Shaofu Qing burst into tears of gratitude, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "I will do my best to live up to your majesty's expectations!"

After saying that, he stood up, unable to hide the excitement and anticipation on his face, and strode towards the workshop.

Every step was taken firmly and forcefully, as if the company couldn't wait to start manufacturing.

Ying Zheng looked at his back as he walked away, feeling an indescribable sense of pride in his heart.

He knew that in the near future, a divine weapon that would shock the world would be born in his hands, and he would be remembered in history forever! !

At this moment, the entire Qin court was immersed in a strange solemnity and expectation.

Ying Zheng knew that a major project that concerned the country's destiny and the hard work of craftsmen had quietly begun.

The success or failure of this project will have far-reaching impacts and rewrite history!

Ever since he left as the Minister of the Imperial Household, the Zhangtai Palace had become as quiet as water, with only the sound of the breeze blowing through the corridors.

Ying Zheng stood alone before the throne, his eyes as deep as the abyss, as if he was thinking about something far away.

His expression is solemn, as if he is thinking about something, and his eyes go straight beyond the Zhangtai Palace, as if he wants to penetrate the palace walls and reach the end of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Ying Zheng's heart is no longer the heart of a king who only cares about himself, but the heart of a king who has the world in his heart and aspirations for great achievements for generations to come!
He thought of Ye Chi, the man of extraordinary talent and wit...

The thought of summoning him to serve as an official in the court arose in his mind.

Ying Zheng knew very well that if he wanted to unify the six kingdoms and establish a legacy that would last for generations, he would need extraordinary talent and unparalleled wisdom.

Ye Chi's vicious strategies, the books he wrote, his understanding of nature, and his scientific mechanisms can all be used by the Qin Dynasty!
Therefore, the desire for Ye Chi in his heart was like a raging fire that was difficult to contain!
However, Ying Zheng also knew that summoning Ye Chi to serve as an official in the court was not something that could be done overnight.

After all, if you want to allow this person to enter the court, he is not an ordinary scholar, and there will definitely be many people in the court who oppose it!

Because of his vicious schemes and strange tricks, people are also afraid of him! !
However, Ying Zheng was a great leader with great ambition and courage, so he would not back down because of this.

He stared into the distance, making up his mind.

If the clan falls and the regime is stabilized, that will be the time for him to implement many policies.

The Enfeoffment Order is just the beginning!!!
