Chapter 71

The first matter: disaster relief grain was successfully distributed, the people of Dang Jun praised the new emperor, this matter consolidated the people's hearts for the Great Qin, and gave the common people their first sense of belonging to the Great Qin!

For this matter, the System rewarded ten thousand points!

And the second matter is the big one!

A general amnesty for the world; all the common people cheered and leaped, countless people praised the new emperor, causing the people's hearts of the Great Qin to consolidate! Obtained a reward of twenty thousand points!

Just these two matters yielded thirty thousand points!

Plus successfully recruiting Han Xin, obtaining an SSS-grade Divine General, and receiving ten thousand points!

That makes forty thousand points!

The remaining ten thousand points came from scattered achievements: governing the state, recruiting Fan Kuai, Xiao He, and others, selling paper, and creating the movable type printing technique; all these scattered items added up to five thousand points!

Besides that, there are Han Xin's soldiers!

That is his first army!

This army has currently also generated five thousand points for him!

Now, he holds a huge sum of fifty thousand points in his hand!

Alas!

What a pity!

If he saves another fifty thousand, he can reach one hundred thousand points.

Facing Ying Su felt a bit of heartache!

However, points are meant to be spent once earned, aren't they?

If they're gone, just earn more!

He believed that once the three matters Zhang Liang mentioned were completed, his points would surely surge.

Especially attacking the Xiongnu!

If the Xiongnu were annihilated, surely that would boost his points by at least one hundred thousand!

Facing Ying Su thought this, and at this moment, drew directly!

Hmm...

Which tier should I draw from?

Facing Ying Su looked and looked again, and finally decided to draw from the S tier!

SS is too expensive!

With fifty thousand points, one can only afford five draws!

If one draws the person one wants to use within five tries, that would be fine.

If one fails to draw them, then it's all over!

A tier is too cheap; cheap goods are no good!

However... Cai Lun, Zheng He, and Yu Yu Huatian are absolutely good goods!

But Facing Ying Su still felt the S tier was more reliable!

"Tanding Rumu" is a major affair, and also a reform!

For matters like this, one must use a fierce man!

S tier is about right!

Thinking this, he drew directly!

And the first person drawn made Facing Ying Su's eyes light up!

Zhou Yafu!

A famous general of the Great Han, who once stationed troops at Xiliu to resist the Xiongnu and pacified the Rebellion of the Seven States!

Is this person useful?

Of course he is useful!

Moreover, he is of great use!

Remember, I am about to attack the Xiongnu!

For such fierce men who resist the Xiongnu, the more the better!

And Han Xin would absolutely like such fierce men!

But... Facing Ying Su did not remain happy for long!

Because this person is not suitable for Facing Ying Su to implement "Tanding Rumu"!

"Tanding Rumu" requires at least the ability to read and write.

Zhou Yafu?

Just a brute; although he is amazing at war, he can only serve as a General to fight wars; let him govern the Junxian?

Forget it!

Not suitable!

At this moment, Facing Ying Su had no choice and could only draw again!

And the person drawn this time made Facing Ying Su extremely excited!

What?

Did I draw a suitable person to carry out the reform?

No!

I didn't draw one!

But... the person drawn is still a fierce man!

Because... this person is an expert in firearms!

Dai Xin!

Ying Su's eyes lit up brightly!

Even though he was not the first person to create firearms!

Even though he was not as famous as Chen Gui, who truly treated gunpowder as a weapon and invented the musket!

But... this person was the first in Chinese history! No! The first in world history to create a repeating musket!

Not the single-shot musket!

But the explosively awesome repeating musket!

Also known as the machine gun!

Similarly, he also replicated the sky-piercing cannon!

Also known as the mother-and-son cannon!

When it exploded, it wasn't just a lump of iron, but burst open into a flower!

When Kangxi campaigned against Galdan, he only fired three shots with this cannon, causing Galdan to flee in panic!

Unfortunately, this person was not employed by Kangxi!

Not only was he not employed, but because he created the mother-and-son cannon and the repeating musket, he was easily swayed by slander and accused of colluding with the Southern Seas!

Then, he was exiled!

By the Qianlong era, Qianlong always had no good feelings toward things like the repeating musket and the mother-and-son cannon!

He always felt such things posed too great a threat to the Great Qing!

Thus, he directly ordered that their manufacture be forbidden!

Not only that, but he also burned Dai Xin's written "Essentials of Firearms" completely clean, forbidding anyone from manufacturing such things!

And so... Chinese firearms were forever inferior to those of the West.

Although gunpowder was one of China's Four Great Inventions, yet... starting from Qianlong, in Eastern history, gunpowder could only be used for fireworks.

Dai Xin!

The light in Ying Su's eyes grew even more intense.

At this moment, he thought of later pistols, submachine guns, and even sniper rifles!

If he told Dai Xin the manufacturing methods for these things, could Dai Xin produce them?

Ying Su was very eager in his heart!

But even though his eagerness was boundless, at this moment, he could only set it aside for now!

Reform is now the highest priority!

Merging the head tax into the land tax, forcing nobles to pay taxes, this is the urgent task to resolve public resentment and boost national strength!

After all, this is the fastest method to resolve public resentment at present!
