Chapter 982: The Eastern Tour ends, a new attempt!

~4 min read 758 words

After the Fengshan sacrifice on Mount Taishan ended, Seeing Ying Zheng had completed a major goal of this trip. However, the Eastern Tour was not over, so the team set off again, first walking east along the Bohai coast, passing through Huang County and Zhuan County, climbing the peak of Mount Cheng, and then ascending Mount Zhifu.

Basically, wherever he went, Seeing Ying Zheng would leave a corresponding stone tablet. The content on the tablets was nothing to speak of; they were all words praising the achievements of Qin and Seeing Ying Zheng.

In this, the senior and junior brothers Han Fei and Li Si played a huge role.

Most of the inscriptions came from the hands of these two people.

Often, Han Fei would compose an inscription here, and at the next stop, Li Si, in order to surpass Han Fei, would compose another.

I don't know when it started, but Han Fei began to change, becoming somewhat utilitarian.

Perhaps it was after he completely surrendered his heart to Qin.

Since he had chosen to work for Qin, it was obviously not possible to be as lazy as before, so in reason and emotion, he had to do some great things.

Han Fei admitted that when he first came to Qin, he had indeed slacked off for a while, but it was only for a while. As Qin completed the great cause of unifying the world in just a few years and established a great empire.

Han Fei couldn't help but think of what Seeing Ying Zheng said to him when he came to Han years ago. It was only because he only cared about Han at the time that he refused Seeing Ying Zheng. After Qin unified the world, he thought of those words again.

And so, he stopped slacking off.

The energy erupted by a Han Fei who was not slacking off was extremely astonishing.

This made Li Si feel huge pressure.

This time, under the crazy internal competition between the brothers Han Fei and Li Si, many accompanying Confucian scholars also began to compete internally. Even the Confucian Sect Master, Fu Nian, was no longer low-key and began to compose rhapsodies.

Strictly speaking, Fu Nian was of the same generation as Han Fei and Li Si. How could he let these two, who came from the Confucian School but were considered Legalists, show their brilliance?

For a time, because of everyone's internal competition, Seeing Ying Zheng did not know how many stone tablets had been erected. In this process, countless poems and rhapsodies praising his achievements appeared.

The only one who was a bit annoyed was the accompanying historian; he needed to record all these things, which was truly giving him work to do.

These things were a small episode in the process of the Eastern Tour.

The Eastern Tour team continued south, arriving at Langya Commandery, where Seeing Ying Zheng ascended Mount Langya and walked to the Langya Terrace.

The Langya Terrace was built when King Goujian of Yue moved his capital to Langya in his twenty-fifth year. Looking west, the mountains were layered and green; looking east, the East Sea was surging with waves, the crests like snow.

Standing on the Langya Terrace, Seeing Ying Zheng looked out and saw a magnificent landscape. He felt the scenery of Langya Terrace was very beautiful, but it lacked the breath of people. He summoned the accompanying Langya Governor to inquire and learned that there were originally a few households under Mount Langya, but the place was not suitable for farming or fishing, so they gradually moved to Ying City and Jimo. He also learned that during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Langya was the capital of Yue, with a dense population and many households under Mount Langya.

With such beautiful mountain scenery and fertile land, yet no one living there, Seeing Ying Zheng thought for a moment and had an idea. He immediately issued an imperial decree to move 30,000 households to live under the Langya Terrace and exempted them from taxes and corvée labor for twelve years. Afterward, he renovated the Langya Terrace and erected a stone tablet on it to praise the achievements of Qin.

After reaching the Langya Terrace, Seeing Ying Zheng went to Sanghai.

Although Sanghai was a small city, it was extraordinary because the Confucian headquarters was there.

After strolling through the Little Sage's Manor and touring the mountain gate of the Confucian School, Seeing Ying Zheng went to visit the Mirage. ===== CHAPTER 984 =====
