Chapter 23: Sending Talents to Daqin



While talking, Zhang Yuan was preparing the ingredients for Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang watched Zhang Yuan's actions and couldn't help asking again, "What are you doing? What are these?"

Zhang Yuan was very patient with his ancestor and he introduced the things he had placed there.

"Grandfather, this is called Zhe Er Gen. It's incredibly delicious whether you soak it in water or eat it alone. You must try it."

[Of course, many people can't get used to it. I hope our ancestors can help us and make sure we can get used to it.]

Qin Shihuang put his hands on the armrests of the chair and naturally heard Zhang Yuan's thoughts again.

He felt a pang in his heart. Many people can't get used to it?

Then this group of people definitely does not include him.

As the first emperor, he had to be able to eat everything.

Even if you can't eat, you can't show it.

"This is called cilantro. I don't like it, but you might not like it, so I'm going to add some for you."

[I'd rather die than let my friend die. Just because I can't get used to it doesn't mean my ancestors can't get used to it.]

Qin Shi Huang: ....

You can't even eat it, and you let me eat it! ?

Qin Shihuang's eyes were complicated, he really didn't know what to say.

"This is oyster sauce. I've added everything I need to taste it. Enjoy it!"

If I had a fraction of my ancestors' thirst for knowledge, I would have definitely gone to Tsinghua University or Peking University!

Tsinghua University and Peking University?

What is it?

Full of doubts, Qin Shi Huang received his full bowl of seasoning.

He looked at Zhang Yuan's pitifully small bowl of seasoning, and then at his own bowl of seasoning that was almost full and overflowing.

The corner of Qin Shi Huang's mouth twitched, and his mood became more complicated.

People in later generations really respect me.

I guess these things are not cheap, otherwise why would he only have such a small amount.

For the first time ever, Qin Shihuang wanted to reward Zhang Yuan.

It was at this moment that he heard Zhang Yuan's voice again.

[Hey, I'm so smart. I prepared so many seasonings for my ancestor. He must be very touched, right?]

[Actually, I just wanted more seasoning and less meat for my ancestors. I'm too greedy.]

Qin Shi Huang: ....

I almost changed my face on the spot.

I was really touched for nothing.

Because of Zhang Yuan's wishes, Qin Shi Huang focused all his attention on meat dishes.

Zhang Yuan watched with bitterness as the last piece of beef was taken away by his ancestor.

[Wow, why did I only order two servings of beef? I'm so stingy! My ancestors were so quick.]

Qin Shi Huang smiled triumphantly.

Humph, you want to compete with him in hand speed?

What a joke.

He was so proud that he accidentally ate a peppercorn. The First Emperor's expression froze and he stood there in a daze.

Above.

It's too addictive.

He couldn't help it, looked at the white water in the small cup, and drank it in one gulp.

This time...

I almost fainted.

Before Zhang Yuan Erkang could even stretch out his hand, he saw Qin Shihuang drink up half a glass of white wine in one gulp.

He was silent.

The wine from the Qin Dynasty was not really wine at all. The taste was probably not even good enough to rival the taste of modern liquor.

Now I just hope that my ancestor won’t feel dizzy after drinking it in one gulp.

"Grandfather, are you sure tonight's deal won't be ruined after you take this bite?"

Before Qin Shihuang understood what Zhang Yuan meant, he found himself feeling a little dizzy.

He tried to support himself with his hands on the armrest, stared at Zhang Yuan opposite him with wide eyes, and questioned.

"What's wrong with me? Why do I feel dizzy? Am I poisoned?"

Zhang Yuan: ....

[Poisoned? You're drinking too much.]

"Grandfather, don't you think the drink you just had tasted strange?"

Zhang Yuan had no choice but to guide Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang blinked, struggling to recall the past. After a long while, he nodded woodenly, "Yes, it's very spicy, not like plain water. Does the plain water in your later generations taste this pungent?"

Zhang Yuan pinched his brows, walked to the shelf, took out a can of milk, put it in and handed it to Qin Shihuang.

"Grandpa, please drink a few sips of milk first."

Seeing that Qin Shi Huang started drinking milk obediently, he explained to him: "What you just drank was the white wine of our later generations. I used a small bottle of crooked mouth, which has 52% alcohol. The people in the Qin Dynasty should have drunk rice wine, which was no more than 20% alcohol."

"You just drank it in one gulp. How could you not feel dizzy?"

Qin Shi Huang was aware that he could hold his liquor quite well and refused to admit that he was drunk.

"Nonsense, I was just poisoned!"

[...Who can say I'm speechless? This dizzy old ancestor is so cute.]

Fortunately, it was only a brief dizziness, and Qin Shihuang regained consciousness after a while.

Thinking of his predicament just now, he felt a little embarrassed.

He cleared his throat awkwardly and changed the subject: "Ahem, well, Xiao Zhang, I want to ask you a question."

Zhang Yuan sat upright and moved closer seriously: "Go ahead."

"It's like this. I'm very short of people right now. Do you have any idea to solve this problem?"

What can I do? I'm not omnipotent, my ancestor! We're over 2,000 years apart!

Qin Shihuang was a little disappointed when he heard Zhang Yuan's thoughts.

It seems that you should not try random treatment when you are seriously ill.

However, the next second, Zhang Yuan began to mutter in his heart again.

"No, I think I really do have a solution! Zhang Liang! Xiao He! Han Xin! Chen Ping! Wait, wait, wait, wait, all those founding ministers of the Han Dynasty should be eliminated at once, right?"

The series of names made the First Emperor want to pick up a notebook and a pen to write them down.

But he couldn't, he could only repeat it in his heart.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan spoke this time.

"Grandfather! Yes! Really! Go to Pei County and take down all the Lu family members. They're all talented people, and don't let the women go, especially Lu E'ou! And Xiao He, Liu Bang, and no one else can be left alive. Kidnap them all."

Xiao He! The founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty!

[Hehe, I just wonder if the Han Dynasty would still exist if our ancestors kidnapped Liu Bang.]

Han Dynasty! ?

Qin Shi Huang's hands trembled. He didn't expect to know the next dynasty of the Qin Dynasty so soon.

Han?

Liu Bang? Xiao He?

According to Zhang Yuan, this Liu Bang was the founding emperor who replaced the Qin Dynasty and established the Han Dynasty?

And Xiao He was the founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty?

Qin Shihuang narrowed his eagle eyes and thought to himself.

On this side, Zhang Yuan continued to recommend it to Qin Shihuang.

"Also, there's another one called Zhang Liang. No, he's not called Zhang Liang now, he's called Zifang. Kill him!"

"By the way, it seems that Liu Bang is no longer called Liu Bang now, but Liu Ji."

"Then Han Xin! Fan Kuai! You should take these guys out first. They're probably all in Pei County right now. It's a great place with many talented people and beautiful scenery!"

[What a great place to find rebels! These are all famous generals who founded the Han Dynasty!]

Qin Shi Huang: ...

If it weren't for his strong heart, he really felt like he would die in the next second.
