Chapter 236
The First Emperor waved his hand and went to find Zhao Si, leaving Zhao Gao alone.

"The eldest son returns to Qin..." Zhao Gao looked at the back of the first emperor and let out a long sigh.

He knew that he might not have many opportunities and time.

He had to do something, he had to fight for something, but thinking of Hu Hai whom he supported, Zhao Gao rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.

How should I do it?
The oppression brought by the first emperor to Zhao Gao will not melt away for a while, but when he is in a life-and-death crisis, the madness in Zhao Gao's heart is gradually growing.

If this continues, he will only have a dead end.

Once Fusu becomes the crown prince, the Meng family brothers will definitely not let him go, and the first emperor will not protect him. Zhao Gao knew that if the first emperor really made up his mind to make Fusu the crown prince, the first emperor would definitely clear all obstacles for him.

Zhao Gao knew that if he continued like this, he would become a sad abandoned child.

"First Emperor, Fusu..."

He must seize some opportunities, but where are the opportunities?But no matter what, he had to make adequate preparations.

Thinking about this clearly, Zhao Gao started to look for Hu Hai, and wrote to contact some of his friends.

Of course, it's just for contacting and reminiscing about the past. He is not a fool, and it is impossible for him to make public the outrageous things.

Zhao Gao still understands the truth that if things are kept secret, they will succeed, but if things are leaked, they will fail.

On the other side, when the first emperor found Zhao Si who had left him to drink secretly.

Zhao Si and his gang have already drank all kinds of meat and eight vegetables.

Zhang Cang and Chen Ping are fine. Although they are a little drunk, they can still maintain their demeanor.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are already lying down.

Wang Li was already a little unconscious.

Only Zhao Si and Li Shiqi were left to fight for wine.

Li Shiqi is good at wine, and he calls himself a drunkard of Gaoyang. He is the evil spirit in wine, while Zhao Si is purely happy.

This was the first time Shihuang saw Zhao Si drinking like this.

Seeing the arrival of the first emperor, Zhang Cang immediately poked Zhao Si to remind him, and then stood up to salute.

Zhao Si reluctantly raised his head and opened his eyes, only to see the three First Emperors dangling in front of his eyes.

"I have seen... Your Majesty, I have seen this Majesty, and I have seen this Majesty!" Zhao Si wanted to get up, but in the end he couldn't get up.

Although it is not clear why there are three His Majesties, Zhao Si still raised his glass to toast.

The first emperor was a little angry, but also a little bit wanting to laugh.

In the end, he knelt down and said solemnly in front of Zhao Si: "Pour wine!"

"Okay!" Zhao Si chuckled, lifted the jug with both hands, swayed it, respected half of the table and half of Emperor Shihuang.

The First Emperor didn't care, he just raised the wine bottle and drank it down, then looked at Zhao Si seriously.

"Why did you lose your composure?"

Zhao Si sat there with his head lowered as if about to turn off the phone, but when he heard the question from Emperor Shihuang, he raised his head reluctantly and said, "Be happy... Hey!"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and looked carefully, but it was already turned off.

The first emperor's lips moved slightly, originally he wanted to find this kid to have a drink to relieve his inner boredom, but he didn't expect this kid to lie down first...

"Take him down to wash and rest..." Emperor Shi Huang stood up, looked at Zhang Cang and waved.

Zhao Si Wang Li Li Shiqi and his party were taken away by Zhang Cang and Chen Ping.

The white and fat Zhang Cang was worried about this grass-roots team, he called the maid to wash it, and sent servants to wait for him, cleaning up all the mess...

In the following days, Mao Dun submitted a surrender form to Da Qin as the prince of the Huns.

After receiving the order of the first emperor, Mengtian canonized Maodun as the new Shanyu of the Xiongnu in Longxi instead of the first emperor. At the same time, the Xiongnu officially bowed their heads to the Great Qin.

Afterwards, with the help of Meng Tian, ​​Mao Dun returned to the grassland.

The Xiongnu was indeed seriously injured, Yuezhi and Donghu beat the dog in the water, and couldn't wait to absorb the population of the Huns and embezzle the land of the Huns.

The originally prosperous Xiongnu lost most of their main force in World War I, and even a hero like Maodun could do nothing.

But fortunately, although the current Xiongnu was seriously injured, he recognized a new father.

Great Qin!

"I know there is a road that can reach the hinterland of Donghu!"

Not long after he went back to take over the throne, Mao Dun went to borrow troops from Daqin and asked Daqin for help.

Without borrowing soldiers, it is impossible for a clever woman to cook without rice. The Xiongnu is currently in a state of fragmentation. Many tribes have directly separated from the Xiongnu. The prestige of Maodun is not enough, and the royal family has suffered heavy losses. They cannot be defeated at all.

Mao Dun became the leading party without any psychological burden. While calling the Taijun to invite him, he carefully observed Qin's equipment and weapons.

Only at this time did he discover such an exquisite item as a three-piece set.

He was originally born on horseback, how could he not see the ingenuity of the saddle and horseshoe of the horse?In fact, the horseshoe, saddle and horseshoe don't have any technical content, and they can be imitated at a glance. As long as this thing is used, it can't be hidden, which is why Meng Tian has been holding back for so long.

"In this battle, the defeat does not lie with the father, but with the fortifications!"

The Xiongnu can't do it, but the Great Qin can do it!

With the Xiongnu as the leading party, Donghu and Yueshi who stretched their hands to the southeast were severely chopped off by more than 3 cavalry led by Meng Tian. Therefore, Donghu Yueshi reined in their troops and dared not continue to encroach on the Huns.

Mao Dun logically asked Qin to open the pastures around Hetao for them to graze and recuperate, but was rejected by Fusu Yizheng.

And Fusu stated that he asked Mengtian to take all the few mines owned by the Xiongnu and monopolize all the mining rights of the Xiongnu.

Mao Dun's careful thinking didn't work, and he suffered a big loss. All the recorded minerals in the territory of the Xiongnu were taken away by the Qin State, and only some miscellaneous mines with low yields remained.

But there is no way, the situation is stronger than people...

Horseshoes, saddles and horseshoes are easy to imitate, but if there is no Central Plains... With the productivity of the grassland nomads and the distribution of minerals in the grassland, it is difficult to make an arrow.

Minerals are just the first step to clamp down.

And then there's the salt!

food!

All kinds of production materials!
"It is said that there are two large gold and silver mines in Fusang, which have been occupied by Daqin now. I heard that there are endless ships full of gold and silver?" Fusu looked at Meng Tian and asked.

"Well, these two big mines were marked by Zhao Shilang himself." Meng Tian nodded.

"Zhao Si again?" Fu Su smiled, he was still in Longxi, and had heard about Zhao Si's relationship more than once.

The ministers who were close to the father, even Meng Yi, could only feel ashamed, and Zhao Gao couldn't speak at the side.

What's more, it is rare to have such a great favor, but he is not a courtier, and is known as a gentleman among courtiers.

Now Fusu has received the news that the First Emperor allowed him to return to Xianyang, and he is in a good mood, but the Great Wall and the Straight Road in Longxi have come to an end, and the strategy against the Xiongnu has just begun, Fusu plans to do a good job in the aftermath.

Then, go back to Xianyang, go back to your own home, and take a look at the old scenery and new people.

He really wanted to see what a talent that his father valued so much looked like.

"Since this is the case, there should be no shortage of gold and silver in the national treasury in the future. I will write to my father to ask my father to transfer some gold and silver from Langya to buy the Xiongnu's cattle, sheep and horses." Fusu smiled.

Gold and silver are hard currencies. Some people may refuse to buy things with copper coins, but no one will refuse to buy things with gold and silver.

So did the Huns!

Fusu planned to control the Xiongnu's salt, iron and grain, and at the same time use gold and silver transactions to appease the Xiongnu.

It is necessary to retain the fierceness of the Huns without being too harsh.

In fact, economic control and other messy things are all things that our ancestors have played with.

The Eight Classics of the Qin people started from the eradication of Xirong, and these are compulsory courses for the Qin government.

Anyway, with so much gold and silver brought back from Fusang, it’s just for nothing. It’s better to spend it. When the Huns need to buy grain, salt and iron, the gold and silver will just go around and return to Daqin.

Under the attack of Donghu and Yuezhi, the Xiongnu could only tremble under the stride of Daqin.

And time passed silently...

As the driving continues to move forward, the weather is getting colder and the snow is coming as expected.

The snow was so heavy that the first emperor's car was parked in Shanyang and could not make an inch of progress.

No one would have expected that this heavy snow would come so early, and no one would have expected that the weather would suddenly become so cold.

When the weather forecast is inaccurate, stargazers are not omnipotent.

Shanyang, the land of the old state of Zhao, was one of the front lines of the state of Zhao against the Huns.

This is a remote place with a small population and no prosperous business at all.

The total population of the jurisdiction is just over 5, so the first emperor's drive to stay in Shanyang due to heavy snow was a devastating disaster for Shanyang.

Without him, the population is too small and the economy is too poor.

Even the supply of charcoal can't afford it...

There were more than [-] people in the entourage of the first emperor, which was not something that the frontier could bear.

And not only that, the people did not expect the great cold to come so early, so the local people themselves have to deal with the cold winter...

Surrounded by borderlands, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves and can only let the imperial court arrange it.

Snowstorm...

In a borderland like this, it is normal for thousands of people to die due to the snow disaster. There is no way, the resources are insufficient, and the ability to withstand disasters is too limited.

It's already remote, and there's not enough arable land. Where did you get so much firewood for you to burn?It's hell if a few don't freeze to death every year.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said they didn't care, Zhang Cang and Chen Ping said that a good woman can't cook without rice.

Fortunately, Zhao Si discovered an open pit rich coal mine here.

Calculating the geographical location, here is the Shanxi area in later generations.

That place is rich in coal bosses, and with the rich coal mines, the snowstorm will not be so difficult to deal with.

Not only that, but the briquettes can also be rubbed out by the way.
