Chapter 13 Conversation between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei

Since the national treasury doesn't need to pay, the ministers naturally have no objection!
With money, people, space, and Qin's strong execution capabilities, the construction of the Medical Academy began soon.

Immediately afterwards, Queen Mother Zhao Ji, in the name of the Queen Mother of Qin, announced that she would personally take charge of the female doctor training program.

The news spread throughout Qin and soon spread throughout the world!

When people learned that the Qin State's Medical Academy recruited people from various countries and that they were free to come and go after graduation, and that the Queen Mother of Qin was personally in charge of the female doctor training program, this matter was praised and commended for a while.

Qing Yunzi's appeal was still very strong, coupled with the allure of the Medical Academy, many medical people rushed to Xianyang City after learning the specific situation.

……

"What a grand deal!" Lu Buwei said to Ying Zifei in the carriage.

The money used to build a medical school is definitely not something that the royal family can come up with.

After excluding those who should be excluded, the only one left is Ying Zifei, the ruler of the Black Ice Platform.

"It is an honor for Zifei to be praised by the Prime Minister."

Ying Zifei said this with a smile, and Lu Buwei also smiled when he heard it and said, "It seems that I have a high status in your eyes."

"That's right." Ying Zifei nodded and said, "If it weren't for the Prime Minister, Qin would have been in chaos."

"The young master has no authority, and people bully him. After all, there are still many people who don't want our king to sit firmly on the throne."

This is not flattery!
Lü Buwei heard it, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, smiling and saying: "Now that I am in great power, what do you have to say?"

He didn't know what purpose Ying Zifei had in inviting him today, but since he had the chance to test this boy, he would not let it go.

"Of course I stand firmly on the side of my king." Ying Zifei said leisurely, looking at Lu Buwei and said: "Prime Minister, there is no need to test me. You and I will not be allies in this regard."

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zifei deeply. Such honest words made it unnecessary for him to continue testing him.

The carriage moved slowly, and inside the carriage, the two people had already changed the subject.

The two stopped chatting until the carriage stopped. After getting off the carriage, Lu Buwei looked up and saw that this place was secret. He did not ask, but smiled and said: "I don't know this place. It seems that your Black Ice Platform intelligence network is really strong."

Ying Zifei smiled without saying anything, motioning for Lu Buwei to go first. Lu Buwei nodded and walked forward.

After entering the first gate of the fortress, Lu Buwei saw the strict guarding and seemed to be thinking about something.

When he saw King Ying Zheng of Qin appear, Lu Buwei bowed and greeted him, with a gleam in his eyes.

He knew that if Ying Zifei invited him today, it would not be so simple.

"Master, how about you come with me to see this place first?"

King Ying Zheng of Qin smiled, and Lu Buwei also smiled and nodded. He wanted to see what this young King of Qin was going to do.

The two men left, but Ying Zifei did not accompany them. He found a place to shelter from the wind and snow, waiting for the result of this adventure.

Half an hour later, after looking around, Lu Buwei walked back and forth in the room. His heavy breathing proved that he still couldn't calm down.

King Ying Zheng of Qin knelt quietly behind the desk, holding a brush and dipping it in ink to write.

What was placed on the desk was not a letter, but a piece of white paper with yellow hues.

Lu Buwei glanced at Ying Zheng, looked at the paper, and then looked at the books placed aside.

He felt an inexplicable sense of shock coming at him once again. He had felt this kind of shock many times before, but he still couldn't keep his mind stable.

With his cunning, he would not have gone to such lengths. However, everything he saw today reminded him that paper and movable type printing technology would mark the beginning of a new era.

After taking a deep breath and exhaling, Lu Buwei looked at the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, and bowed respectfully, saying: "Congratulations, my king, for obtaining this divine weapon. From now on, the world is in the hands of my Qin State!"

Ying Zheng smiled, and the heart that had been hanging in his heart finally settled down.

"Master Zhong, please sit down first!"

Lu Buwei agreed and knelt down. He looked at King Ying Zheng of Qin with a very complicated expression.

At this moment, how could he not know the purpose of Ying Zheng asking him to see these two things.

With these two things, once Ying Zheng takes power, he can release them to reap countless prestige.

And now, Ying Zheng has already made his thoughts clear by letting him know this secret.

"Father Zhong, I want to put the paper out first. What do you think?"

Lu Buwei nodded. It was indeed true. As for the movable type printing technology, some problems had to be solved before it could be put into use.

Many families within the Qin State had their own heritage, so how could they be willing to see the emergence of movable type printing?

The monopoly of knowledge is their best situation over most people. If most people can have a book in their hands, then they have no advantage at all.

Apart from them, we also have to consider the affairs of the six nations. Those countries are mostly ruled by powerful and aristocratic families that are deeply rooted and intertwined with each other.

Movable type printing is simply the way to uproot them.

If Qin had really introduced movable type printing at this time, the powerful families of the six countries would have instigated the kings of various countries to unite and attack Qin.

Not to mention the kings of the six countries, they would also be afraid of the appearance of this thing.

They would not allow Qin to be able to cultivate a large number of talents, otherwise it would be a disaster for them.

If one wants to introduce movable type printing, one must first scare the six nations. At that time, even if they are worried and afraid, they can do nothing about it.

"Your Majesty, paper is not only used in Qin's political affairs, but also must be sold as a rare commodity in the six kingdoms. This way, we can obtain the wealth of the six kingdoms and enrich Qin."

"The various schools of thought should also be sold. They are all very rich."

The way of business is Lu Buwei's forte.

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement. His cousins ​​could make a fortune by selling body-strengthening pills and beauty creams, so he, Ying Zheng, would be able to fill the national treasury with wealth by selling paper.

As long as the technology is not leaked, this is a long-term business, and it can last until the Qin State thinks that the technology can be made public. "Zhongfu, you can handle this matter. I am young, so I can just continue to observe the government."

"promise!"

Lu Buwei agreed. He knew that he had to have a good talk with King Ying Zheng of Qin today.

……

"You don't seem to be worried that this risky move will increase the crisis."

The figure fell next to Ying Zifei, who was drinking by himself.

"You seem to be disturbing my drinking."

Ying Zifei raised his wine gourd and smiled. Hearing this, the man looked helpless and said with a headache: "Compared to your fine wine, aren't you worried that Lu Buwei is too selfish?"

"So you never smile as much as I do." Ying Zifei laughed and said, "Whatever position you are in, whatever matters you worry about."

"Don't act like everything has anything to do with you."

The man was slightly stunned, and then burst into laughter.

He reached out and grabbed Ying Zifei's wine gourd, took a sip, and praised: "No wonder you like it, it's really good wine."

"I never pick and choose wine. In my opinion, every kind of wine is a treasure." Ying Zifei took the wine gourd, covered the stopper, and hung it around his waist.

"mean!"

The man hummed softly, then sat cross-legged, relaxed, and looked quite lazy.

"I've fallen in love with a girl. When I finish my rotation here, I'm going to marry her."

Ying Zifei's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it and said: "Ying Shisan, you can actually have love?"

"Look at you, you have an average appearance and an average figure, but your martial arts skills are a bit stronger."

"Could it be that the spy approached you on purpose?"

Ying Shisan rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "Girls like me who are good-looking the most."

"Ying Zifei, I know you are jealous of me. You have such a big body that girls would be scared when they see you."

After exchanging a few words, they both burst into laughter at the same time.

"Zifei, have you ever thought about what kind of girl you want to marry in the future?"

Ying Shisan asked about it and found out that the position of the ruler of the Black Ice Platform is a high-risk job. Even if one is powerful, few people dare to marry into the alliance.

"I don't know." Ying Zifei shook his head, then smiled and said, "You also know my situation. Until now, my life has been arranged."

"Maybe in the future, I will be arranged to have a beauty."

Ying Shisan covered his head in silence. This bastard, he really had a wishful thought.

"Don't disbelieve me, this possibility is very high." Ying Zifei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If there is no arrangement by then, I will definitely draw my sword and kill people."

"Since you want to designate my life, it has to be perfect, don't you think?"

"Hahaha……"

Ying Shisan laughed, patted Ying Zifei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That makes sense. If it's not perfect, we will draw our swords and kill people."

Just as they were about to continue talking, their eyes turned in the same direction at the same time.

"I'm leaving now. See you next time."

Ying Zifei said this, stood up, waved his hand and left. Ying Shisan nodded slightly, moved his body, and also left.

King Ying Zheng of Qin was escorted back to the palace by the Shadow Guards, while Lu Buwei and Ying Zifei still went home in a carriage.

Lu Buwei was leaning against the wall, not looking like a prime minister at all. Ying Zifei was playing with his Chiyou sword and did not say a word.

"If we can't reach an agreement today, will the Chiyou sword in your hand be exposed to blood?"

Lü Buwei spoke in a leisurely tone, and Ying Zifei shook his head and asked, "Do you think that with the king's political maturity, he would use such an extreme method?"

"No!" Lu Buwei gave a definite answer, and then laughed and said: "Okay, that's fine too."

There seems to be relief, and also a sigh.

"Boy, after returning to Xianyang City, I will persuade Queen Mother Zhao Ji to hand over her share of Luowang's power to you."

Lu Buwei, who had just sat up, had regained his aura as the prime minister of a country, giving people a sense of oppression.

"Is this one of the conditions of the transaction?" Ying Zifei asked with narrowed eyes.

"No." Lu Buwei shook his head and chuckled, "I want to kill some people and depose some people."

"If that part of the web is left in the hands of Queen Mother Zhao Ji, it will only become a point for someone with ulterior motives to take advantage of it."

"It's better for this deadly weapon, Luowang, to be in your hands and mine."

Ying Zifei's expression became serious, staring at Lu Buwei and asked, "Is the Prime Minister going to take action against Cheng Jiao's people?"

Queen Mother Zhao Ji was in the palace, and there were only a few people who could contact her and plot against her.

"The truth is that we need to ensure internal stability. You should know what kind of commotion will occur when those two things are released."

All of Lu Buwei's aura emanated from him, and he stared at Ying Zifei: "I will not allow anyone to stand in my way. Before the king takes power, I will continue to be in charge of the power of the court."

"After the king took power, I gave up some of my power to maintain the balance of factions in the court, achieve a peaceful transfer of power, and stabilize the court."

"Therefore, the truth will not leave any obstacles on this set path."
