Chapter 134 Ying Zheng: This is a little small
【That was a summer typhoon. There are no gods here.】
The system whispered the explanation into Wei Shengxue's ear.
"Has your scanning range extended to that small island?" Wei Shengxue was a little surprised. She was well aware of the useless nature of the system.
[No, it's limited to the coastal waters. We need to scan that area and upgrade it. This is just a reasonable guess based on the surrounding environment and climate.]
Wei Shengxue nodded secretly, this is the familiar system.
"Do you have a navigation chart for the sea area?"
【No. 】
The system responded very quickly.
Wei Shengxue wasn't surprised either, and instead requested, "Connect to Xianyang. I want to discuss this matter with Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng."
In addition, there is the prophetic dream I had before. If such a large-scale natural disaster occurs in a short period of time, it will definitely cause a huge disaster. We must take preventive measures in advance.
"Yes." Xu Sheng responded respectfully. He thought this was spoken to him.
He signaled the servants to step aside and stood respectfully aside.
The bracelets on Wei Shengxue's waist jingled, emitting a faint glow.
Inside the Zhangtai Palace in Xianyang City, the jade that had been silent for several months lit up again.
Ying Zheng stopped discussing with his ministers and picked up the sound stone that carried the message.
"Daoyou?"
"Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, how are you?" Wei Shengxue's slightly distorted greeting came through the sound transmission stone.
Ying Zheng gave a faint smile. "How are you? Fellow Daoist, you haven't been home for a long time. Did you find anything interesting?"
"Whether it's interesting or not is hard to say, but it's certainly a good thing. I remember you saying before that the shortage of copper mines in Daqin made issuing currency somewhat difficult."
The eavesdropping Zhisu's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to get closer. He made a face and said, "Your Majesty, ask her! Ask her!"
Copper copper copper! Money money money!
The Qin Dynasty developed rapidly and commercial taxes increased. The Qin Banliang issued in the past two years was almost insufficient. The Minister of Grain had been troubled by this issue for a long time and could not find a solution.
The fundamental reason is that there is insufficient copper reserves in the Qin territory, making it difficult to issue more currency.
If a large amount of copper is added at this time...
"Mr. Xu discovered copper and silver ore on a small island. He suspects there are copper and silver mines there and wants to recruit a team of professionals to go treasure hunting with him on the island."
Wei Shengxue casually passed the news on, completely unaware of Xu Sheng's tearful expression behind him.
He thought that he would never be able to achieve such a great feat, but he didn't expect that the immortal still remembered him!
Because of this great achievement, his bad reputation in front of His Majesty will most likely be washed away, and he will no longer have to worry about closing his eyes in the middle of the night and not being able to open them. He raised his hand and touched his neck. From now on, this guy will be safe!
Immortal! Thank you for the opportunity!
Wei Shengxue didn't notice his unpredictable expression. She checked the map twice and continued, "The people you send over can go directly to Jibei County. I'll go there from Kuaiji County and stay there for a few days. Then, on a suitable day, we'll head to Treasure Island."
Ying Zheng had no objection to this and signaled the eunuch to quickly summon the chief architect, who would be responsible for all these matters.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, the Immortal Master." The Chief Architect came quickly and entered the Zhangtai Palace in a short while.
Wei Shengxue was an old acquaintance of his. Upon hearing this, he smiled and greeted him, "Master Craftsman, long time no see. How have you been recently?"
"Thank you for your concern, Master. I am living a fulfilling life." The chief architect had two thick dark circles under his eyes and couldn't stop smiling.
Ever since the immortal came, the craftsmanship department has never stopped, but the heavy task means its high importance, especially after things like water wheels and bicycles began to be mass-produced, the craftsmanship department made a lot of money, and everyone had dark circles under their eyes and was smiling.
Now that I've heard news about her again, how can I not be happy?
"Master, what are your instructions? I will definitely do it for you." The chief architect asked in an almost flattering tone, ignoring the contemptuous looks from his colleagues around him.
Sour, they are all sour!
"Oh, do you have anyone who's good at finding mineral veins? Give me eight or ten of them. They'll have to be seasick and have to go out to sea." Wei Shengxue paused, then added, "It would be best if they don't have too many worries at home. Regardless of whether things go well or not, we'll have to stay there for years."
The chief architect looked up at Ying Zheng and, seeing him nod slightly, replied respectfully, "Yes, we have people who specialize in iron ore, copper ore, and other different mineral veins."
"Copper mines, silver mines, um, let's get one from the iron mine as well, just in case there are new discoveries." Weishengxue ordered the people he wanted like ordering dishes.
The chief architect received the order and went back to select people.
The voice stone flickered, but no sound came out, as if the person on the other end was constantly hesitating about how to speak.
Ying Zheng said with sympathy and concern, "Is there anything you're hiding that you can't explain? If you need anything, please feel free to ask."
A hesitant voice echoed through the sound transmission stone. "Not really. Oh no, sort of." The repetitive words only made the other party's hesitation more apparent. "I had a prophetic dream. A huge earthquake followed by heavy rain. The location should be in a basin, but I don't know the exact time or location. I'm even hesitant about whether to tell you."
Ying Zheng's expression turned serious.
The faces of the important officials in the palace changed when they heard the news.
Anxiety showed between their brows. They took a step forward and almost wanted to speak up themselves.
Silence fell over Zhangtai Palace, with only the intermittent voice of the immortal echoing in the empty hall. "I don't know how long it will take for that disaster to happen. It could be this year, next year, or even hundreds or thousands of years from now."
This kind of unpredictable disaster makes it impossible to prevent it.
Ying Zheng was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "When will you return, fellow Daoist?"
"Ah? Oh, after the fleet set off for the island." Weishengxue was stunned by this jumping topic, and replied after a while.
"Master, aren't you going with us?" A slightly unfamiliar voice came from the sound transmission stone.
Ying Zheng frowned, and after a while he remembered that it was Xu Sheng's voice.
It was really rude to interrupt his conversation with the immortal without permission.
"No, this matter is serious. I have to go back to Xianyang." She called out, "Daoyou."
Ying Zheng: "Hmm?"
"Organize people and study the early signs of earthquakes after I return so that we can take precautions in advance."
Ying Zheng: "Can earthquakes be accurately predicted?"
Wei Shengxue said, "It's not a prediction. When an earthquake is about to strike, there will be many abnormal phenomena in nature, such as heavy rain, drought, flooding, turbid groundwater or drastic changes in water levels, and animals becoming restless. Pay attention and try to buy as much time as possible to escape."
"It's a pity that I don't know when I'll be able to accumulate enough national fortune to start a dynasty. Otherwise, as the master of the Qin Dynasty, the fate of the country depends on you. You should have a direct understanding of such a major disaster that will affect the national destiny, and even have a sense of where the disaster is happening and how big it is. This is much more accurate than me telling fortunes here."
Ying Zheng's heart moved.
Originally, Yunchao was just a means to immortality, but now he truly desires it.
"Then Yunchao, does it have such benefits?"
"I don't know much. After all, I'm on a path of personal transcendence. The two are very different. I'm only talking about the general characteristics of Yun Dynasty. The specifics depend on your own feelings."
Ying Zheng couldn't wait to say, "I've accumulated enough national fortune for the new level. I can exchange it for new things."
Wei Shengxue subconsciously pulled out the system panel and took a look.
It’s true.
"Wait for me to come back..."
【Host! 】
The system suddenly interrupted her, bringing up the mall and poking it in front of her. "Look at this! A year-long special offer!"
Wei Shengxue strategically leaned back, avoiding the panel that nearly pierced his eyes, and took a closer look:
Small spiritual vein!
She hugged the shopping mall panel and asked anxiously, "Is this real?! It's not another trial product that can only be used in a limited area!"
The system bounced around in her mind a few times and loudly retorted, "Of course not! This is the real thing!"
It’s not the trial product that was suspected to be a trap before!
[This is a spiritual vein that can truly aid cultivation! This small spiritual vein is enough for a third-rate sect to use!]
How could a spiritual vein worth 999999 of national fortune be fake!
After the excitement, Wei Shengxue calmed down.
'What does this do?'
There was no one else in Daqin who could be used except her. She could also use the power of the Wood Spirit as a substitute, as it was not that necessary.
[Host! Are you stupid?]
[With the spiritual vein, you can start mass-producing talismans. Magical weapons no longer require charging, and can be deployed throughout Daqin.]
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to create spiritual trains, spiritual planes, and the like? This will do the trick!"
Wei Shengxue was reminded by it and his mind came to his senses.
"Fellow Daoist? Fellow Daoist!" Ying Zheng's voice came again and again, "Fellow Daoist, are you okay?"
Wei Shengxue came back to her senses, her face flushed with excitement, "Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, I have good news for you!"
"Oh? What good news?"
"If you save up a little more of your national luck, you'll be able to purchase a spiritual vein. This isn't one of those trial products that becomes unusable beyond a certain range, but a real spiritual vein that can radiate its effects long-term once placed."
"You can choose your position first. Based on the current progress, once the copper and silver mines on the island are transported back to Daqin, or the talents selected in the first imperial examination after next spring are distributed, the national fortune will be almost accumulated."
The good news came so quickly that even Ying Zheng, who was usually calm, couldn't help but breathe heavily.
Where to put it?
Of course it is placed in the Xianyang Palace in Xianyang City!
Then the immortal's reminder came, "I suggest not placing it in Xianyang."
"This is just a small spiritual vein. If we occupy Xianyang, we won't be able to replace it if a larger spiritual vein comes along in the future."
Ying Zheng frowned, this was indeed not feasible.
He is the emperor, and the spiritual vein must be the best to be worthy of him.
So where should I put it?
