All Heavens and Worlds Modified History System

Chapter 393: Unifying the World and Destroying Korea
In history, it took a full ten years to build the Zhengguo Canal.

This is basically the pinnacle of engineering technology and mobilization capabilities of this era.

In this world, with Chen Ran's participation, the project progress has been greatly advanced.

The simplest point is that the use of a large number of steel tools is unimaginable in this era.

This huge canal system is located in Jingyang County. It draws water from the Jing River in the west and flows into the Luo River in the east. It is more than 300 miles long and irrigates an area of ​​more than one million acres. Immediately after its completion, large-scale planting of crops such as corn and soybeans began.

"The corn and soybeans grown here are mainly used to provide feed for large-scale livestock farming."

Chen Ran accompanied Ying Zheng who came to inspect and walked on the dirt road in the field. "Eating grain is to live, and eating meat is life."

"If we can make it so that everyone can eat meat," the young Ying Zheng clearly had great ambitions, "then I will have lived up to the trust of the people of Qin."

Everyone has their own opinion as to whether Qin Shihuang was a tyrant.

In Chen Ran's opinion, it is indeed a fact that Qin Shihuang used the manpower on a large scale in history. The mausoleum, the Great Wall, the Qin Straight Road, the Afang Palace and other huge projects are all evidence of this.

However, with Chen Ran's guidance, Ying Zheng in this world began to understand the importance of sympathizing with the people.

"As the old saying goes, the people are water and the king is the boat. Water can carry the boat but can also capsize it."

Chen Ran said with a smile, "Only if we treat the people better can the Qin Dynasty have long-term stability."

Ying Zheng looked puzzled, "Which ancient sage said this? How come I have never heard of it?"

"This is from a person called Li Erfeng. If there's a chance, I'll introduce you to her."

Chen Ran smiled again, "Da Qin is almost ready, it's time to send troops to unify the world."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was immediately cheered up. "Master, you are right. I want to unify the world island and plant the dragon flag of the Qin Dynasty wherever the sun shines. What are the six kingdoms?"

"The countries in Guandong and Qin share the same culture and ethnicity. Your Majesty should first gather the strength of the countries and then conquer the world."

"But before that, there is one important thing to do first."

"Oh." Ying Zheng asked doubtfully, "Master, what else is important?"

"As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words will not flow. It is natural that it is the King's job to rule the country personally!"

As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"This." He said shyly, "I am still inexperienced, so let my mother and uncle continue to take charge of state affairs~~~"

Such insincere words make people want to laugh.

After all, we are young and inexperienced, and are far from being as smooth as a ball.

"There's no need to argue about this."

Chen Ran suppressed his laughter and said, "Of course the Queen Mother agrees. As for Prime Minister Lu, I will go find him and have a good talk with him."

Ying Zheng stopped pretending and simply bowed, "Thank you, Master."

There is no need to say much about Zhao Ji. Without Lao Ai's seed, she naturally had no children. Since she only had one son, Ying Zheng, it naturally didn't matter if she returned the power.

After all, Ying Zheng only has Zhao Ji as his mother.

The only one who couldn't let go was naturally Lu Buwei.

He comes from a business background, and all he cares about is profit return.

Investing in Ying Yiren has earned incredible returns, so naturally he is unwilling to give up the benefits under such circumstances.

Chen Ran understood this all too well, so he simply invited Lu Buwei to an open area in the wild near the Qinling Mountains.

In addition to the more than one hundred retainers and guards brought by Lu Buwei, there were also more than ten students of Chen Ran who had already been waiting here.

Lu Buwei was not worried that the immortal master would do something bad to him. After all, if he really wanted to do something bad to him, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

"I invited the Prime Minister here today to show him a sharp weapon."

Chen Ran signaled his students to start working.

A group of people immediately took action, carefully placed the wooden box, and connected the long fuse.

"Let's go." Chen Ran signaled to Lu Buwei who was watching curiously, "Stay away, it's dangerous."

He walked about a mile before he stopped.

The students over there were already prepared. They lit the fuse, quickly jumped on their horses, and galloped away.

There was even a student who fell off his horse because he was too nervous, and had to be rescued by others before he could escape safely.

Lu Buwei was puzzled as to what was going on.

With a deafening bang, accompanied by a burst of intense light and flames, everyone was stunned, their legs trembling with fear.

"Prime Minister Lu." Chen Ran called out to Lu Buwei who was lying on the ground, "Get up and go take a look."

“Ah, oh~~~”

On the way to the explosion site, Lu Buwei walked with a noticeable stagger and his face was as pale as snow.

He asked tremblingly, "Master, what happened? Is this a punishment from heaven?"

Chen Ran smiled but said nothing. When he arrived at the explosion site and looked at the horrific scene, he slowly said, "This is the thunderbolt I prepared for Qin to unify the world. No city can withstand a single blow from it."

"Very good." Lu Buwei wiped the sweat from his forehead and praised repeatedly, "With the help of the immortal master, my Great Qin will unify the world~"

"Of course it's a good thing to unify the world."

Chen Ran stared at Lu Buwei and said, "Then in the Prime Minister's opinion, who should be in charge of such an unprecedented achievement as unifying the world?"

"It's the king." Chen Ran took a step forward, feeling a growing sense of oppression. "Or is it you, Prime Minister?" At this point, the meaning was already very clear.

Lu Buwei was not stupid at all. Instead, he was well versed in the ways of the world. At this time, he already understood what Chen Ran meant.

He immediately stated, "Of course it's the king who has made the greatest contribution to the unification of the world. How could I, Lü Buwei, have the merit to dream of taking credit for the world."

It was obvious that he didn't mean what he said, but it didn't matter at this moment.

"In that case." Chen Ran immediately brought up the topic, "How about asking the Prime Minister to return power to the King?"

"That's right." Lü Buwei was unwilling and wanted to struggle, "But the Queen Mother."

"Of course the Queen Mother won't have any objections." Chen Ran said with a smile, "The Queen Mother only has one son, the King, so she is naturally happy to let the King rule the country. Prime Minister, don't you agree?"

"Yes, that's right."

In history, Zhao Ji started off with a bang.

No one cared about her husband's death, and her son was the king of the most powerful country in the world. Wealth, power and fame were all within her reach.

Moreover, she and Ying Zheng had shared hardships when they were in Handan City. As long as Ying Zheng didn't do anything too excessive, he would make Zhao Ji the most powerful woman in the world.

Even if she really did keep a lover, it wouldn't be a bad idea. After all, it was not uncommon for the queen mother to keep a lover in the Qin State.

But Zhao Ji smashed the king bomb to pieces~~~
There is no other explanation for the fact that he colluded with his mistress to kill his own son except that he was in love.

Only a love-brained woman would disregard family affection and do such a stupid thing.

Zhao Ji in this world, under Chen Ran's tireless teaching, finally cured her love-brain, and naturally would not do such a thing as refusing to return power for the sake of her adulterous husband.

Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, since Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei had agreed, it was naturally impossible for the other Ying clan members and civil and military officials to object.

As a result, Ying Zheng took power several years earlier than in history and seized control of the Qin State.

In order to thank Chen Ran for his help, Ying Zheng expressed his intention to give Chen Ran a title of emperor.

These are titles such as the Supreme Emperor, the True Lord, the Heavenly Venerable, and the Manifest King.

For example, Yang Jian has titles such as Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun, Daoji Hongjun Tianzun, and Chongying Huimin Emperor.

Chen Ran naturally refused this matter.

"I appreciate your kindness, Your Majesty. But this matter is not necessary."

Chen Ran has long transcended the pursuit of these things. He has only one pursuit in this world, and that is to achieve his own goals.

The first thing Ying Zheng did after taking power was to impatiently dispatch Wang Jian to lead 200,000 Qin troops to march east through Hangu Pass and head straight for Han.

Among the seven major powers in the Warring States Period, South Korea has always been at the bottom.

Moreover, South Korea's location is blocking Qin's eastward expansion route, and it has always been Qin's main target.

Faced with the aggressive Qin army, the Han State was panicked and took the initiative to send envoys to express its willingness to surrender and become a vassal state of Qin.

It’s a pity that Ying Zheng had no interest in vassal states.

He had long ago accepted Chen Ran's proposal to abolish the feudal enfeoffment system and replace it with a county-level official system.

After all, the fate of the feudal system was fully demonstrated by the Zhou emperor's rule.

In the end, the feudal system led to chaos and invasion by various countries.

In comparison, the county and prefecture official system proposed by Chen Ran, which placed all farmers and common people under the rule of the imperial court, was a groundbreaking advancement.

Desperate South Korea seeks help from various countries.

But all the other countries were afraid of Qin and did not dare to send reinforcements.

The South Korean envoy said angrily, "Today it is South Korea, tomorrow it will be you!"

Everyone knows this, but the problem is that almost all countries have the mentality of doing things for a day, and they would rather die first than let their friends die~~~
When attacking South Korea, no financial means were used, but instead a large amount of currency was used to buy up all of South Korea's food and supplies.

Because South Korea is too weak, there is no need for this.

Such means were intended to be used against powerful enemies such as Zhao, Qi and Chu.

Qin's railway had already been built eastward through Hangu Pass, so Wang Jian's army moved very quickly and logistical support was also available.

In a very short time, they reached the capital of Korea.

After that, the city was breached with explosives and the army charged into the city.

King An of Han surrendered and the Kingdom of Han was destroyed.

Ying Zheng changed the land of Korea into Yingchuan County and moved all the Korean nobles to Xianyang City.

Ying Zheng's original plan was to give respect to the nobles of the six countries so that they could continue to live a good life.

But it was opposed by Chen Ran.

"These so-called nobles who bully the common people on weekdays and behave in an ugly way when powerful enemies attack them are not worthy of continuing to enjoy a good life."

"Even if we don't kill them, we have to distribute all the mines in various places. How can we let them continue to live a life of luxury!"

Ying Zheng hesitated a little, "But if so, I'm afraid that when I attack other countries, it will lead to desperate resistance."

"Your Majesty, what you said is ridiculous."

Chen Ran said bluntly, "If we really treat them well, more people will die! Because they know that even if they fail, they can still live a good life! So it doesn't matter how many civilians and soldiers die!"

"Preferential treatment should be given to ordinary people everywhere, not to these so-called nobles!"
