Chapter 210 Teacher Urges Marriage
Xu Fu saw that Wang Jian not only brought back so many ships, but also brought a lot of people to work.
I was so happy that I spent the whole night thinking about how to arrange these people's work properly tomorrow.
The next day, Xu Fu got up as soon as the sky turned pale.
When I went out, I saw that everyone was there quite early.
Ronglu took his men and Xu Fu to briefly understand the situation on the island, and then followed Xu Fu to the mine to take a look.
When I saw the piles of gold and silver that had been excavated and placed casually on the ground.
There's such pain in his eyes.
Why do you just leave it here? Aren't you afraid it might be stolen?
Xu Fu was already used to such expressions and didn't care.
It's like this at first, but it will be fine after a while.
Out of the way.
Wang Jian brought 8,000 laborers, a considerable number who could replace many of the soldiers guarding the slaves.
These soldiers can be sent out to capture prisoners.
Xu Fu spoke to Ronglu bit by bit, and Ronglu listened carefully.
In the following days, Ronglu walked around the island, drew some simple blueprints with his men, and began to discuss how to plan based on the terrain of the island.
After Ronglu and others took over the camp, Xu Fu immediately took his men out to survey it.
How can such a small amount of minerals be enough? We must find more minerals.
He always remembers the Marquis' instructions.
When you arrive on the island, you are responsible for finding and mining minerals.
Find as much as you can, dig as much as you can.
Definitely don't leave these resources to the people here.
They must all be brought back to Qin.
"General, the artillery is ready."
"fire."
"bang"
"bang"
"bang"
A burst of more than ten cannon shots was fired at the distant hilltop, causing the mountain to shake and the rocks to roll.
Wang Ben and others standing in the distance could feel the ground shaking.
"Everyone, listen up. Bring back and arrest anyone you meet. Kill anyone who resists."
"But remember, our goal is to arrest people."
"promise."
The soldiers shouted in unison, echoing through the mountains.
The animals living in the mountains and forests fled everywhere, and soon many wild people were seen running in the mountains and forests.
"superior."
At the command, the Qin army surrounded them like a wave.
When the savages saw the Qin army dressed in luxurious clothes and holding weapons, they felt as if they had seen gods. Many of them prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling and mumbling something.
The Qin army naturally didn't understand, but they didn't need to understand.
At that moment, they quickly split into two teams. One team drove the people lying on the ground together, and the other team excitedly caught the savages who were fleeing in panic.
Some rebels were strangled directly.
Soon, the ground was covered with bright red.
Seeing their companions fall one by one, many savages lay on the ground in fear and no longer resisted.
Because they saw that those companions who did not resist did not kill them.
This battle yielded fruitful results.
Watching the rows of prisoners being driven towards the camp, Wang Ben led his men deeper again, preparing to capture more people.
On the other hand, Wang Ying also had a good harvest.
The Qin army suffered zero casualties and successfully captured more than 10,000 prisoners.
Some of them had minor scratches on their bodies and were laughed at by their companions, who said that they couldn't even beat those little chickens.
Qin Jun, who was bruised and angry, clenched his hands and argued with them.
"I wasn't hurt by the chickens, I was scratched by a branch."
"Look, does this look like a wound caused by a human? Does it look like one? Does it look like one?"
Once the other party says he is like that, he must go for a few rounds to let everyone see his true strength.
At the camp, after more than ten days of hard work, Xu Fu and his men finally found another silver mine.
A silver mine larger than those found here.
Xu Fu was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
People, we are short of people.
Just as Xu Fu was muttering about the people, the captives were sent back.
This time Xu Fu treated the captives much better than before.
They won't be whipped easily.
Many people died before because they could not withstand the whipping.
Some died due to delayed treatment.
We can't waste manpower now.
Must make good use of it.
At the same time, he also asked the soldiers to deliver a message to Generals Wang Ben and Wang Ying.
"Take all this food with you. When you see the general, tell him we've found a bigger silver mine, more than twice as big as this one, and we're waiting for the prisoners to work with it."
"General, please work harder and capture more prisoners. His Majesty has even sent Young Master Ronglu to the island to govern, which shows how much His Majesty values this place. We must not fall behind."
The soldier nodded and promised to convey these words word for word.
Only then did Xu Fu feel at ease and let these people go back.
Ronglu and others watched in amazement.
Can this be done?
Things on Ryukyu Island are proceeding in an orderly manner. The farming disciples have begun to investigate the soil quality and which areas can be used for planting.
On the Qin side, Li Mu, along with Tian Wei, Yin Jue, Meng Tian and others, had been killing like crazy in the Loulan countries.
Artillery bombarded outside the gates of Loulan, and the gates of the Loulan countries were instantly shattered into pieces.
Li Mu led his men to charge forward, and they were unstoppable wherever they went.
As news of victory was sent back to Xianyang, laughter could be heard throughout the Zhangtai Palace.
"Father, General Li Mu has conquered many cities. How about letting my brother Zigao govern there?"
"allow."
A decree from His Majesty arrived in Zigao's hands from Xianyang.
Soon, Zi Gao arranged things on the grassland and took his men to Loulan.
At this point, he was the Marquis of Xijun in Qin State.
Li Mu at the front received the imperial edict from His Majesty and felt relieved when he knew that the prince would come to govern the base they had built.
Discuss the siege with the generals again.
Seeing Li Mu capture city after city for Qin, the generals in Xianyang became extremely anxious.
I wish I could replace General Li Mu.
No, replacing the deputy general is fine.
However, at this time they can only stay at home with bubbles on their lips in anxiety.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Prince, do you have a choice for the Crown Princess?"
Fusu has been coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion frequently these days, so His Majesty asked Shi Yi to bring a message to Zhang Yuanqing, asking about the selection of Fusu's Crown Princess.
At the age of eighteen, he was already old enough to get married. Zhang Yuanqing was in a daze.
When the teacher suddenly asked him about himself, Fusu's cheeks turned slightly red and he looked at the teacher embarrassedly.
"Haha, there's nothing to be shy about."
"You are His Majesty's eldest son, the Crown Prince of Qin. The choice of the Crown Princess should be decided long ago."
"Do you have someone you like?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanqing looked at Fusu with some curiosity.
Being asked so directly by his teacher, Fusu lowered his eyes, not knowing how to start for a moment.
"Haven't you seen them all at the banquets of the ministers' daughters?"
"Is there anyone you particularly like or have a crush on?"
"If you have any, speak out boldly. Your Majesty will not stop you."
"But you can't choose someone who is closely related. Three generations of blood relatives are excluded."
Hearing this, Fusu no longer cared about being shy and raised his head and asked curiously.
"Within three generations, you are close relatives. Your blood relationship is too close, and most of your children born in the future will be unhealthy."
"Because the blood relationship is so close, the baby will be more likely to get sick in the mother's womb."
“These diseases are often incurable.”
Zhang Yuanqing tried his best to explain the disadvantages of inbreeding in a language that Fusu could understand.
Then, he suddenly asked, "You wouldn't fall in love with a woman who is closely related to you by blood, would you?"
"No, no, Fusu doesn't have anyone he likes, don't worry, teacher."
Fusu waved his hands repeatedly.
But what he said made Zhang Yuanqing even more worried.
No one I like.
This child is already eighteen years old. In ancient times, if someone got married early, he would have become a father.
"How can you live without someone you like? Your Crown Princess is going to support you for the rest of your life. If you don't like her, how can you and your wife live in harmony?"
"Well, I'll write a petition to His Majesty, asking him to assign you less government duties during this period. You can also spend more time wandering around Xianyang City. Maybe you'll meet a woman you like."
