"Tell me, what are you fiddling with?"

Meng Tian checked Sen's work records and was not like a clumsy person, but when Meng Tian asked him what the reason was, he hesitated and refused to explain it clearly.

If you hide it, there will be hidden information. Meng Tian just needed a blacksmith, so he used the excuse that Sen affected the production efficiency of the workshop and requisitioned him to the army.

The Qin craftsmen will be punished as ministers or criminals in the last assessment. Since there is such a regulation, the workers in the workshop will not stop them.

"General, how do you know I'm fiddling with something?" Sen was nervous, worried that Meng Tian would let him on the battlefield.

The Qin people were martial, but not every Qin people were brave enough to die, and Sen was an exception. He shuddered when he thought that he might die on the battlefield.

"When you were an apprentice, your output was among the best, but after becoming a formal craftsman, your output fell, which only means that you were distracted by something." Meng Tian took a sip of water and told Sen to sit down peacefully.

"If you don't like the job of craftsman, there is always a way to get out of it, but you don't try anything. I can only think that you need to use attacks and tricks into something in your mind, right?"

"The general guessed well!" Seeing that Meng Tian had revealed his thoughts, Sen simply let go of his fear.

"I am from Longxi County. When I was thirteen years old, there was a Yuezhi caravan passing by the town where I was. There was a child about ten years old in the caravan, with golden hair and blue eyes, which was very strange."

"Say the point."

"Oh, sorry." Sen understood, he seemed to be off-topic. "I made friends with the child. He said that he came from the west, and he was very despised by the bronze sword in my house, saying that Qin Na made the weapons that were not as good as their Lou Mu."

"Lou Mu?" Meng Tian frowned and asked back, "Think about it again, is he talking about Lou Mu or Rome?"

"Lou Mu." Sen tilted his head and murmured.

Meng Tian understood that the caravan was probably from Rome. After the transliteration, Sen heard Lou Mu.

"The name doesn't matter, you continue to talk about weapons."

"I was not convinced at that time. The weapons made by Qin were the best in the world. How could it be that they were not as good as a barbarian country?" Sen was very Chinese and did not know that Roman civilization was actually very advanced. "When we two argued, the child brought a cold iron sword and cut off my bronze sword with one sword. Over the years, as soon as I closed my eyes, the shadow of the iron sword appeared in my mind."

"So, do you want to create such an iron sword?" Meng Tian straightened his body and sat upright. Unexpectedly, there was such a story behind Sen, which didn't seem to be fake.

Western civilization entered the Iron Age earlier than China. The ancient Assyrians learned to smel iron weapons very early. The Roman daggers created by the Romans who were good at learning represented the peak of the classical era.

"Yes, it's just a pity that the caravan didn't tell me how to build it, and I didn't have any real things in my hands." Sen couldn't hide the depression in his heart in his words, "For so many years, I have been secretly studying in the workshop, but there has been no progress."

The forest in front of me reminded Meng Tian of those hard-working scientists. Because of his own interests, he will not look back until the south wall. If he succeeds, such a small person will often greatly change history.

Thinking of this, Meng Tian couldn't help but look up to Sen. Such a craftsman is different from a craftsman who only knows how to produce according to regulations in the workshop, but has a certain creative spirit. In the words of later generations, Meng Tian met an innovative talent.

"I will support you in researching sharper iron weapons." Meng Tian had already made a decision in his heart. Sen was sneaky and without conditions, so the progress was of course very slow. But Meng Tian could use the power of the Meng family to build a private workshop to specialize in developing iron weapons.

"But before that, you'll create a batch of horseshoes for me."

"horseshoe?"

"Yes, the iron nailed to the horse's hooves."

Meng Tian took out a piece of silk, picked up a brush, and drew a horseshoe on it. In fact, horseshoe is not difficult to make, but the difficult thing is how people would come up with such ideas.

Three months was enough for Meng Tian to set up a workshop, arrange manpower, and produce enough horseshoes. Small objects like horseshoes were inconspicuous, and Meng Tian was not worried about spreading them. With the speed of information dissemination in this era, when the secret of horseshoes was untied, the King of Qin had already finished scanning the **.

After spring, Xianyang began to get busy.

The news that the King of Qin is about to get married and the wedding has long been spread.

In order to show that they enjoy themselves with the people, the government relaxed the ban on alcohol. During the Qin King's wedding, residents in Xianyang could gather and drink without any punishment.

"Congratulations to the king for a new marriage!"

After the ban on alcohol was released, there was a joyful atmosphere everywhere in Xianyang City. Ying Zheng had been in the throne for almost nine years. Although he had not formally ruled, he lived a very healthy life. The Qin people gradually walked out of the haze of holding state funerals in succession.

In the democratic era, every four or five years, it is common for a president or prime minister to change. However, in ancient society, in a short period of time, the monarch died one after another, and the people of the country would be panic, which was considered a sign of the destruction of the country.

"Meng Aiqing, I am now setting out for Yongcheng, and Xianyang will be handed over to you!"

Ying Zheng sat in a golden cart pulled by four horses, his closed eyes suddenly opened, his eyes bright and energetic, revealing an extremely firm look.

"Meng Tian takes the order!"

Looking at the winding team that was leaving far away, Meng Tian took a deep breath and immediately rode his horse back to the camp.

Ying Zheng took away most of the officials in the Xianyang Central Committee, to be precise, officials of the Lu Buwei and other groups.

Lu Buwei served as prime minister for many years and had many disciples. If Lu Buwei participated in Lao Ai's coup, Qin would probably be seriously injured.

"Menghu, Mengbao, after returning to the camp, immediately ask Sen to nail all the horses to the horses!"

Before Ying Zheng arrived in Yongcheng, Lao Ai would not act rashly. At this time, Lao Ai's troops were also dispatching troops. Meng Tian needed to switch to Xianyang and Yongcheng in a short time, and a war horse without horseshoes would not work.

"promise!"

Meng Hu and Meng Leopard's eyes fell on the black horse under Meng Tian.

After the horseshoe was successfully developed, Meng Tian set his sights on his war horse. At that time, only Meng Tian's personal soldiers were present. Meng Hu and Meng Bao were taught by Meng Tian and quickly understood the role of horseshoe.

"General!"

In Xianyang Palace, You Yu, who was sent by Li Si, had been waiting for a long time.

"How is the movement in Xianyang?" Li Si's intelligence network made progress abroad very slowly, but he did not relax for a moment when surveillance Lao Ai, Lu Buwei and others.

"The Weiwei hid in the military camp and never came out again. The Neishisi went to Changxinhou's mansion."

Before Lao Ai fell completely, You Yu still maintained respect for Lao Ai's title.

"Send people to keep watching, the enemy doesn't move, I don't move."

In Ying Zheng's plan, Lao Ai needs to be asked to jump out first. As long as Lao Ai sends troops to rebel and Ying Zheng uses iron-blooded suppression, the Qin people will not say anything.

Looking back, Meng Tian ordered Meng Bao, "Send a trough to protect Princess Yingyan and tell the princess not to leave Xianyang Palace!"
