Chapter 156 Xiao Shengzi's literary talent is getting better and better
Rongdi was a general term for nomadic peoples during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The western Rongdi alone included hundreds of tribes.
In order to assimilate the Rong and Di peoples, the ancestors of the Qin State spent countless efforts to suppress them and make them vassals of the Qin State.
But now that things have changed in Qin, they are likely to seize the opportunity to stir up unrest and unite their forces to attack Qin.
This is the problem that Ying Si is most worried about now. In order to solve this problem, he specially sent Ying Ji to the Rongdi tribe.
Ying Ji got away with it by posing as a horse merchant, and told the Rongdi people openly and secretly that the new laws of Qin would not change. The king's letter had already been issued, so how could they change?
The new monarch will also support the new laws and nothing will change.
But if the new monarch had taken the throne and the laws remained unchanged, why did he still kill Shang Jun? Isn't this a contradiction?
What else could it be?
Of course, it was the six states that forced the Qin State to execute Shang Yang, and the Qin State had no choice but to execute Shang Yang.
However, compared to this, the Rongdi leaders were most concerned about the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.
It is said that the Qin's new army is unparalleled in combat power and no one can defeat them. So how does it compare to them?
It was a coincidence that Ying Ji, the horse merchant, originally wanted to replenish war horses for the Qin army, and his superiors asked him to pick some people from the army to accompany him.
If you want to know the combat effectiveness of Qin's new army, wouldn't you know after a competition?
As expected, the Qin army won the competition.
When the Rongdi tribal leaders saw the fighting power of the Qin army, although their faces were not very good, they all expressed that they would always be Qin people and guard the western frontier forever.
Ying Ji quietly suppressed the tribal leaders who were ready to cause unrest at any time, which was indeed a wise move.
Of course, the Qin army used tactics in the competition with the Rongdi tribe. It was impossible for everyone to just go up and start fighting and compete to see who was more agile.
Although Chu Yian has a certain spirit of research in his hobbies, he is not yet at the level where he can even remember this kind of content.
A person's brain capacity is limited. Not to mention remembering these things, she can't even understand a single extra word.
So she just brought over a few simple words, and the rest of the tactical content and casualties in the fight were all made up by Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng was a general himself and was well-read, so it was easy for him to come up with a brilliant tactic.
Sometimes when Chu Yian couldn't remember how to play, he would consciously write down the playing methods and tactical arrangements, making the book look more colorful.
It wasn't just a conflict between the two armies, there were also debates between some famous scholars. Chu Yian only knew the general direction of most of it, and it was impossible for him to remember the specific details so clearly.
Naturally, it was also left to Qin Sheng to edit.
That was a book of more than five million words, with 17 volumes in total. She was afraid that she would have to use cheats to remember all the contents in detail.
Many of the things written down and sent out now were just made up by Qin Sheng based on her general description.
For this purpose, some messy timelines were specially adjusted to make the story more logical.
It can be said that without Qin Sheng, this book would not be so brilliant...
No, this book could not have been written without Qin Sheng's help. Even if it had been written, it would not have achieved the effect it has now, causing such a big response and even making the emperor change his mind.
This is not only Chu Yian's credit, but Qin Sheng also made an important contribution.
But he felt that this book would not exist without Chu Yian, and he was just helping out a little, so he gave all the credit to Chu Yian.
Qin Sheng was used to this. Chu Yian only said a few words and he started to make up the story himself, writing very smoothly.
The general direction is already there, and it’s just a matter of adding some details, which is not a difficult task for Qin Sheng.
Qin Huaishu couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and once again realized why Qin Sheng was looking for him.
To be honest, most people really can't take over Qin Sheng's job.
Not only must one be familiar with classics and history, and be able to use various allusions freely, but one must also have certain insights and attainments in military strategy.
I’m afraid there are not many people like this in the whole of Shengjing.
At least among the people Qin Huaishu knew, there were no more than five people in the entire court who had such abilities, and most of them were already very old.
Many people either pursue a career in literature or a career in the military, but there are too few people who are both civil and military.
It took some time for Qin Sheng to finish editing a paragraph. Chu Yian couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and walked around, ate some fruit snacks or something. Anyway, he couldn't stop talking.
Qin Huaishu looked at Qin Sheng who was concentrating on writing, and then looked at Chu Yian who had run to the side to eat grapes. It was the first time he saw how this young couple interacted in private, and it was quite interesting.
Qin Sheng finished writing, raised his head from the paper and looked at Chu Yian beside him: "I'm done, give me a grape too."
Chu Yian quickly stuffed one into his mouth and took out a bunch of grapes and handed it to Qin Sheng.
Seeing Qin Huaishu next to him, he quickly divided the bunch of grapes into two halves and handed one half to Qin Huaishu.
Qin Huaishu reached out to take it and thanked him politely.
Chu Yian shook his head: "You're too polite, big brother."
Qin Sheng took the other half of the bunch of grapes and looked at Qin Huaishu with a hint of accusation in his eyes.
In the past, the whole string belonged to him, but today I have to give him half of it.
Meeting Qin Sheng's gaze, Qin Huaishu felt somewhat helpless and handed the grapes to him: "Do you want to eat?"
Qin Sheng nodded, took one from his hand and ate it, and said with satisfaction: "The rest is for you."
Qin Huaishu chuckled, his eyes curved: "Well, thank you Xiaosheng."
Chu Yian watched with great interest.
To be honest, this was the first time she saw how the two brothers got along in private. Qin Huaishu doted on Qin Sheng too much.
And Qin Sheng has never been like this in front of her. You know what, he's actually quite cute.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Chu Yian couldn't help but think of her brother...the brother whose name she almost forgot.
If he had half the knowledge of Qin Huaishu, Hua Shi would not have been so depressed a few years earlier.
There are many reasons that lead to Hua's depression, but Chu Jingqiu's ungratefulness definitely accounts for a large part of it.
Qin Huaishu held the half bunch of grapes in his hand but did not eat it. After Qin Sheng finished his own, he would occasionally grab a grape from his hand. In the end, he ate the whole bunch of grapes.
After wiping his hands, Qin Sheng looked at Chu Yian and said, "Go on."
Chu Yian curled his lips: "Okay, Xiaosheng."
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Huaishu couldn't help but chuckle and teased Qin Sheng: "Xiao Shengzi's literary talent is getting better and better. I can't catch up with him."
Qin Sheng: ...
