My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1229: One year's effort, the people's hearts are following! Qin Wang Zheng has great ambitions!
The common people don’t understand why, even though the war of unification is over, all parts of the Qin Dynasty are still tightening the laws and working hard?

A large number of people were sent into the mines to take as much copper, iron, coal, limestone and other minerals as possible. Then they pushed Chang'an carts to transport these ores and various resources to Guanzhong, and then transported refractory bricks back from Lantian County. Cement workshops were built in the county seats to calcine cement on site.

Officials at all levels were also busy. Not only did they have to implement the orders sent by the court, but they also had to search for craftsmen from house to house to pack them up and send them to Guanzhong. They also had to recruit civilians to pave cement roads and other infrastructure.

The whole Qin Dynasty was in full swing, but inside the country the people were seething with resentment.

Fortunately, this period of time did not last long.

Late December of the eighteenth year of King Zheng of Qin.

More than 300,000 Tungusic people, who had not been able to escape slavery until the end of the war, walked out of the mountains and forests where they had lived for generations and rushed to various parts of Daqin. They took over the handles of Chang'an carriages from the people of Daqin and began to transport goods back and forth across the territory of Daqin.

Mid-January in the eighteenth year of King Zheng of Qin.

The able-bodied Xiongnu men who had undergone castration had basically recovered. More than 400,000 of them were either digging for minerals in various mines or entering various construction sites to do the most dangerous work.

With the entry of 800,000 foreign corvées, the common people of Qin only needed to engage in work such as dredging ditches and building cement roads within the county. Although these jobs were hard, they were not dangerous and did not require them to leave their hometowns. More importantly, the common people knew very well that both the cement roads and the ditches were infrastructure that was convenient for both the court and themselves. Although it was tiring, the common people were willing to do it from the bottom of their hearts!

The end of February in the eighteenth year of King Zheng of Qin.

More than 80% of the piglets in the 25 pig farms of Daqin survived the cold winter safely. This not only allowed the people in the 25 counties to hear the piglets' cries from time to time, but also represented that the promotion of the pig farms of Daqin had achieved phased success!
As Ying Zheng issued orders to further promote the establishment of pig-raising stations, officials from the Ministry of Livestock began to rush to the newly annexed areas, and at the same time went deep into the county towns at all levels, striving to ensure that every county town in Daqin will have a pig-raising station within this year, and further realize the freedom of the people of Daqin to eat meat!
Mid-March of the eighteenth year of King Zheng of Qin.

The entire Qi territory officially began to use the golden juice to treat manure technique to cultivate the fields. Research and assessment envoys have also entered the former Zhao, Dai, Yan, Tungusic, and Xiongnu territories to conduct pilot research and assessment, and brought many new agricultural tools such as the Chang'an plow to help local farmers learn and use new agricultural tools to further improve farming efficiency.

At this point, all the people’s grievances have been eliminated!
The whole Qin Dynasty was bustling with activity, and the country was thriving even more!
The people of Daqin did not understand what was happening. They could only sense that their lives were getting better.

September 28th, the eighteenth year of the reign of Qin Shi Huangdi.

A small one-horse carriage traveled thousands of miles and finally entered Guanzhong, continuing to move towards Xianyang City.

Inside the carriage, Wei Zeng, who had been under house arrest for eight years, no longer had the bravery and courage he had eight years ago. He just leaned against the window frame, greedily looking at the scenery outside the window, completely ignoring the fact that his haggard face had become a source of amusement in the eyes of passers-by.

When the carriage drove onto the cement road, feeling the jolts below him slowing down rapidly, Wei Zeng sighed for the umpteenth time: "Qin Wang Zheng, you have great ambitions!"

"Change the Qin's harsh laws to lenient ones."

"The whole country is building this flat and solid Chang'an Road to connect the whole country."

"He was not afraid of losing control of the local areas, and vigorously promoted craftsmen to promote agriculture, control pigs and build ships."

"King Zheng of Qin must be trying to accomplish an unprecedented feat!"

"I think the reason why King Zheng of Qin summoned Wei to Xianyang this time must be because he wants to follow the example of King Wu of Zhou and take over Zhou and become the emperor!"

"I'm so envious!"

Everything I saw and heard along the way led to the same answer.

Ying Zheng is going to be the emperor! Eight years ago, Wei Zeng and Ying Zheng were kings side by side.

Eight years later, Wei Zeng was reduced to a commoner and was under lifelong house arrest, while Ying Zheng was promoted step by step and was about to become the emperor.

Wei Zeng was envious!
I am envious from the bottom of my heart!

The driver, former Wei Xiang Gao Min, also sighed and changed the subject, "An old friend sent me news a few days ago."

"Young Master Bao has passed the legal officer assessment and has taken up the post of prison official in Yangqiu County."

"This is already the fourth prince to serve as an official in Qin. It shows that Lord Chang'an has not broken his promise and has indeed treated all the princes and grandsons well."

"I think all the young masters and grandsons will thank you."

When Daliang City fell, Wei Zeng always charged forward. When the situation became irreversible, Wei Zeng drew his sword and committed suicide without hesitation.

It was Gua Fu who shot an arrow through Wei Zeng's sword-holding hand, and Ying Chengjiao threatened to kill the Wei royal family members, that made Wei Zeng willing to surrender.

It is no exaggeration to say that the lives of all the royal family members of the Wei State were exchanged for Wei Zeng's dignity!
Upon hearing this, Wei Zeng smiled with mixed feelings: "Prison official?"

"It's a good job for Qin."

Eight years ago, a county prison official would not have had the chance to meet Wei Zeng, let alone let alone have his name known by Wei Zeng.

But now, Wei Zeng's old ministers and descendants are all delighted because Wei Zeng's son has become a prison official.

Wei Zeng didn't know whether he should laugh at himself for having ruined his family in his hands, or thank Ying Chengjiao for doing as he said that he would save the lives of the Wei royal family as long as Wei Zeng voluntarily surrendered.

Wei Zeng could only drink a glass of wine and look out the window again, and then he saw black smoke rising straight into the sky.

Wei Zeng, who wanted to see the fun, immediately ordered Gao Min to drive to the place where the black smoke was rising. However, before he got close, he found that a large number of guards were carefully patrolling the place where the black smoke was rising.

Gao Min secretly tightened the reins and whispered, "They are Qin Chang'an's soldiers!"

Qin Chang'an Jun, this title is a nightmare for Wei Zeng, Gao Min and all the remaining people of the former Wei monarchs and ministers!
Wei Zeng unconsciously tightened his grip on the wine cup, but his voice was somewhat self-destructive and casual: "This place is the fief of Qin Chang'an Jun, so it is normal to see Qin Chang'an Jun's soldiers."

"Everyone says that Qin Chang'an Jun is the god of fire who has descended to the world. If we could see Qin Chang'an Jun's fief being engulfed by fire, it would be a happy event in life!"

"There is a one-horse carriage parked ahead. Go and park alongside that carriage. I will take a look!"

Gao Min had no choice but to discuss with the eunuchs escorting along the way, and then drive forward with Xiaoxin.

Wei Zeng turned to the other side and leaned against the window, admiring the black smoke in front of him while shouting loudly: "Brother in the carriage beside me, my name is Wei Zeng!"

"Would you dare to drink with me and tell me what happened here?"
