Chapter 838 If the Earth Dragon Does Not Turn over, the World Will Be Unstable! Ying Chengjiao Was Forced to Offer Sacrifices to the Gods!

With more than 300 first-term students of the Qin Dynasty going to the world, the Qin Dynasty's control over the local areas has been significantly improved.

When the second-term imperial examination was settled, the Qin Dynasty added more than a thousand middle-level officials such as chief clerks and prison officials to the local grassroots.

Although there are still tens of thousands of vacancies in the local government offices of the Qin Dynasty, as long as the second-term of the Qin Military Academy graduates, the talent shortage of middle-level officials in the Qin Dynasty will be basically alleviated, and the local government offices will be able to operate at a minimum level!

However, Lu Buwei's concerns about the current situation in the Qin Dynasty have not improved much.

August 16, the 15th year of Qin Wangzheng.

In the imperial study, Ying Zheng sat in the main seat, and Lu Buwei sat on the side. The two reviewed memorials and handled government affairs together.

When Lü Buwei saw Ying Zheng holding the list and information of the second batch of students of the Qin Military Academy again, he finally smiled and said: "People only know that Chang'an Jun fought for the Qin Dynasty and was invincible."

"But they don't know that for the Qin Dynasty, Chang'an Jun's greatest contribution is that he cultivated many talents for the Qin Dynasty and even advised on the strategy of selecting talents!"

Ying Zheng put down the list and nodded happily: "The Qin Military Academy has cultivated many loyal, capable and governing talents for the Qin Dynasty, so that the Qin Dynasty is no longer trapped in talents who are competent for middle-level officials."

"Although the talents selected by the imperial examinations are slightly inferior, the talents selected by the second imperial examinations are The number of talents selected by the imperial examinations is more than twice that of the first round, which at least allows the local government offices to operate! "

"My brother once said that when the people in various places are loyal to the Qin Dynasty, the imperial examinations alone can select enough talents for the local courts to operate for the Qin Dynasty!"

"I think so too!"

"It will take less than ten years for the talents selected by the Qin Military Academy and the imperial examinations to fill the Qin government offices."

"It makes the local areas more stable!"

The talents selected by the second round of imperial examinations are much inferior to those selected by the first round of imperial examinations, and most of them can only serve as grassroots officials.

But thanks to Ying Zheng's reputation as a filial son and Ying Chengjiao's reputation as a great witch, the number of candidates participating in the second round of imperial examinations has doubled.

This not only alleviated some of the talent shortage for Daqin, but also allowed Ying Zheng to directly see the change in the attitude of local talents towards Daqin and the huge potential of the imperial examinations, and it also prevented Ying Zheng from employing officials from the four former countries of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Chu on a large scale!

Although officials selected and trained by Daqin may not necessarily be loyal to Daqin, they are much more loyal than officials who have served in other countries!

Lu Buwei agreed and echoed: "I believe that with the two strategies of Daqin Military School and the imperial examinations, Daqin will be able to select enough talents to fill the government offices in less than ten years!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but curl up his lips slightly: "This is all the credit of my brother!"

Zhongfu, are you scared?

If I hadn't tried to protect my brother, my brother, who offered such a good strategy, would have died under Zhongfu's sword long ago!

Lü Buwei did not show any regret, but said seriously: "But that will be at least ten years later."

"I think that the monarch and his subjects should perform their respective duties."

"Your Majesty can rest assured to entrust the cultivation of talents to Chang'an Jun, and there is no need to spend too much energy on this matter."

"What Your Majesty should think about most now is the danger of unrest facing the current Qin Dynasty!"

The smile on Ying Zheng's face slowly faded, and he asked in a low voice: "Does the Prime Minister want to advise me to enfeoff the princes?"

Lü Buwei stood up and bowed solemnly, saying: "I advise you to enfeoff General Jian and General Wu as marquises."

"And choose the cities in the former Chu and Zhao lands as the food fiefs of General Jian and General Wu!"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "I have said that this matter is very important, and I should think about it carefully!"

Lü Buwei clearly supported enfeoffment from beginning to end.

However, the enfeoffment that Lü Buwei supported was not to enfeoff the princes of the royal family, but to enfeoff the ministers with meritorious service, especially the ministers with military merit, to remote areas, so that they could stabilize the local areas on behalf of the court.

After returning to the court, Lü Buwei repeatedly advised against enfeoffment, but was delayed by Ying Zheng.

After all, this was a major event concerning the state system, and once a decision was made, it would be difficult to reverse it.

Even Ying Zheng has not made up his mind to this day!

However, Lü Buwei could not wait that long.

Looking up, Lü Buwei looked at Ying Zheng sincerely and said, "Your Majesty!"

"It is now August 16th, the 15th year of Qin Wangzheng!"

"But there is still no earth dragon turning over in the Guanzhong area of ​​my Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng's color changed slightly.

After destroying Zhao, Ying Chengjiao publicly declared that the earth dragon would turn over in the Guanzhong area of ​​Great Qin this year.

All the monarchs and ministers of the Great Qin, including Ying Zheng, believed Ying Chengjiao's judgment without hesitation, and not only dispatched a large number of manpower and material resources to Guanzhong, but also prepared for rescue at any time.

He also spread the news throughout the Qin Dynasty to prevent the common people from regarding the earth dragon's rise in Guanzhong as Houtu's punishment for the Qin Dynasty.

But now, with only one month left before the end of the fifteenth year of Qin Wangzheng, Guanzhong is still safe!

Lu Buwei sighed softly: "I believe that Chang'an Jun must have been favored by the previous kings, and he is more likely to be appreciated by Houtu."

"The strategies that Chang'an Jun advised are also of great use to the country."

"Chang'an Jun's military force is even more for the Qin Dynasty to capture cities and expand its territory."

"However, Chang'an Jun is indeed a little impulsive this time."

"If there is no earth dragon's rise this year, even if the Qin Dynasty whitewashes it with words, the people of Guandong will definitely make trouble because of this."

"At the least, Lord Chang'an's status as a great witch has been completely destroyed, and the newly attached people will no longer have their hearts attached to Great Qin because of the great favor we have received from the land of Great Qin."

"The most important thing is that the leader of Guizhou thought that Lord Chang'an and Da Qin were deceiving them, and then he became angry, and finally he was provoked by someone who wanted to rebel!"

Ying Chengyu is not an ordinary general like Wang Jian, Meng Wu and others.

Although Ying Chengyu himself does not admit it, people in the world have long regarded Ying Chengyu as a great witch.

Many newly attached people are willing to obey the orders of the Qin court calmly because they believe that the world favors Ying Chengxuan, and Ying Chengxuan serves the Qin Dynasty, so the Qin Dynasty is the orthodoxy recognized by the world.

If there had not been an earthquake in Guanzhong this year, Ying Chengyu would have faced an unprecedented collapse, and the credibility and legitimacy of Great Qin would have also suffered an unprecedented collapse!

There are many ambitious people in Guandong who are planning to cause chaos. How can they let go of this God-given opportunity?

Lu Buwei can say with certainty that if there had not been an earthquake in the Guanzhong region of Great Qin this year, turmoil would have broken out in the Guandong region after the December Festival!

Lu Buwei bowed his hands and said sincerely: "Therefore, I would like to advise the king again to grant the title of Marquis of General Jian and General Wu."

"And this matter really cannot be delayed."

"What if the Earth Dragon doesn't turn around this year..."

"Only by entrusting generals to remote areas in advance can we suppress the unrest with military force!"

Fortunately, Lu Buwei praised Ying Chengyu first.

At this moment, Lu Buwei raised doubts about Ying Chengyu's prophecy. Ying Zhengcai did not doubt whether Lu Buwei was preparing to attack Ying Chengyu again, but was thinking about what kind of situation Daqin would face if Earth Dragon really did not turn around this year!

After more than ten breaths, Ying Zheng's face became extremely ugly and he shouted loudly: "Shilang Su!"

Su Jiao pushed open the door and shouted loudly, "I'm here!"

Ying Zheng asked solemnly: "Where is Brother Wang?"

"My lord?" Su Jiao realized that he had made a mistake and quickly changed his words: "Mr. Chang'an will definitely go to the military academy this morning."

"As for now, I should have gone to Lantian County."

Ying Zheng was a little helpless: "Brother Wang is thinking about his blast furnace again?"

Su Jiao chuckled and did not answer.

Ying Zheng didn't expect Su Jiao to answer, so he ordered: "Prepare the car and go to Lantian County!"

Su Jiao immediately handed over his hands: "Wei!"

Lu Buwei also stood up and asked disappointedly: "Your Majesty, do you want to find Lord Chang'an to inquire about the Earth Dragon's transformation?"

"Your Majesty! Lord Chang'an is just a wizard, not a god!"

"If the earth dragon is unwilling to stand up, can Chang'an Jun'an make the earth dragon stand up?!"

Lu Buwei bowed his hands and said sincerely: "I advise you that the peace of the country should not be tied to one person, let alone make excessive demands on Lord Chang'an."

"But we should use systems to stabilize the world!"

"I will advise you again and make the two generals marquis!"

"In this way, even if the earth dragon does not stand up this year, Daqin will be worry-free!"

After Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "What Xiangbang said is correct."

"Of course, I firmly believe in Brother Wang!"

"As long as the people's hearts come to their aid, we, the Qin Dynasty, will be able to rule the country without enfeoffing the feudal lords."

"If I can solve the eternal conquest with one person's power, I believe that my brother-in-law will not refuse!"

After saying this, Ying Zheng stepped out without hesitation!

Lu Buwei sighed deeply and quickly followed Ying Zheng's footsteps.

When they heard that Ying Zheng was in a hurry to look for Ying Chengyu, Li Si, Han Cang and other officials mistakenly thought that something big had happened, and they all chased him in their cars.

By the time Ying Zheng arrived at Lantian County, he was followed by more than a hundred carriages and horses!

Lifting the car curtain and looking at the rising black smoke and the black sky stained by the smoke, Ying Zheng's eyes were shocked: "Didn't Brother Wang say he was studying the blast furnace?"

"Although there is some smoke from the blast furnaces in Xianyang City, it is only very little."

"Why is there such thick black smoke rising from here!"

Ying Zheng had long heard Ying Chengxuan mention that he was studying blast furnaces, but because Lantian County was far away from Xianyang, Ying Zheng had never come here to inspect it in person.

In Ying Zheng's opinion, it was nothing more than a blast furnace, and it was not like Ying Zheng had never seen a blast furnace before.

Although there is some smoke from the blast furnaces in Xianyang City, it is not much heavier than cooking smoke.

On the other hand, the black smoke in front of me is like thick pillars and beams, thick as ink!

You know, they have just entered Lantian County, and they are still far away from the Gongfang District of Lantian County!

Zhao Gao, who was driving for Ying Zheng, pondered for a moment and asked in an uncertain voice: "Could it be that Lord Chang'an is using the name of studying blast furnaces..."

"Sacrifice to the gods?"

Ying Zheng: (°°)

Lu Buwei: (°Д°)

Before Zhao Gao spoke, no one thought in that direction.

But when Zhao Gao's words came into their ears, the more Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei looked at the smoke pillars in front of them, the more they felt that it was not like the smoke emitted by a blast furnace, but more like a magnificent sacrificial ceremony that stretched straight into the sky!

Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

Although Ying Chenglong is favored by heaven and earth, no one has ever seen Ying Chenglong offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

But now, Ying Chengyu is hiding in his fiefdom farthest from Xianyang City in Neishi County, and he has made such a magnificent sacrifice!

Ying Zheng murmured in self-blame: "How much pressure has Brother Wang secretly endured?"

"Why don't you break up with Brother Nai!"

Lu Buwei also warned softly: "Please, Your Majesty, think again."

"Don't put more pressure on Mr. Chang'an!"
