“He’s still becoming a bully.”
Zhao Lang sighed in a low voice.
He had thought that Xiang Yu had not entered the Pass and would not have had this title.
He also thought that he would be able to take Xiang Yu under his wing.
After all, a fierce general of this calibre is rarely seen in a thousand years.
Now it seems that Xiang Yu, who has the number of a king, is not so easy to take in.
He will try once, when he can, and if it really doesn’t work, he will have to lay down the gauntlet.
One cannot disregard the lives of ordinary soldiers just because of personal admiration.
“Ah Long, you know the news?”
Mei asked with slight surprise, all this news, which had been passed back by the humble one in the first place.
I didn’t expect that Zhao Lang actually knew about all of it.
Zhao Lang just smiled back at this time and said
“I’ve heard some news.”
Which Chinese people hadn’t heard of the King’s name?
Mei quickly released the news that the other side hadn’t covered it up, but had instead made a big deal out of it.
She was not the only channel for Zhao Long, so it was not surprising that she knew about it in advance.
One could only say that the other party was worthy of the man she had taken a fancy to, he could do anything!
Zhao Lang stopped dwelling on this issue, looked at the information on the table and asked, with a smile
“You’ve just been handling this information?”
Mei nodded her head slightly, somewhat ashamed, and said
“I just haven’t been able to help you too much, Long.”
Intelligence in the Great Qin was not a good job, because of the limitations of communication, and a piece of information was likely to be out of date by the time it arrived.
Of course, the humble one and the spider web had still provided a lot of intelligence over this period of time.
At the very least, Zhao Lang now had a rough idea of the general situation of the cities and towns in Chu, which bordered Qi, Wei and Han.
He knew about the food and provisions, the defenders, the troops, and so on.
These were all relatively useful.
And so it was comforting to say that
“You’ve done a good job.”
Hearing the compliment, Mei then dropped her heart.
After a brief discussion of the bout of intelligence, a short silence fell between the two.
Both seemed to have something to say to each other.
It was Zhao Lang who finally spoke first, saying
“Mei, you…”
Only before his words could be spoken, Mei snatched up and said that
“Long, I actually have something I want to tell you.”
Zhao Lang revealed a smile that
“Go ahead.”
Mei bit her lower lip at this point and said that
“I want to stay over here and mind these lowlifes for a while.”
“But don’t worry, I won’t be on this side of the technical college anymore, I’ll find another place.”
Hearing these words, Zhao Lang’s eyebrows raised, the other party had already guessed what he was going to say.
He had originally wanted to ask Mei about her plans afterwards, except that it was obvious that Mei had mistakenly thought that he wanted to stop her from continuing with this.
When she had been a rebel before, if she were to openly relate to the other party, she would only invite calamity to the other party.
Now that his own identity had been exposed, he had no more of these scruples and wanted to just give the other side a name.
It seemed that the other party had misunderstood, and was about to explain when Mei, somewhat nervous, said again
“Ah Long, although I am lucky that you are the Crown Prince of the Great Qin, there are still many brothers and sisters who are still in torment.”
“They haven’t met someone like you, and they need help too.”
Mei knew that if she hadn’t met Zhao Lang, she wouldn’t have ended up much better than an ordinary technician.
Only when Mei had finished did Zhao Lang ask.
“Have you finished?”
Mei nodded somewhat nervously.
Only then did Zhao Lang reveal a smile and said that
“Do you still remember what I said when I accepted the lowly one?”
Mei froze for a moment, of course she remembered, Zhao Lang had said at that time that he would help the humble one to achieve its goal of
Let there never be any lowly people in the Great Qin again.
But such a thing, could it really be achieved?
To be honest, she didn’t expect Zhao Lang to actually go through with it.
“Ah Long, is this really possible? ”
Mei muttered.
Zhao Lang nodded his head and
“I will not allow the people of the Great Qin to oppress and enslave each other.”
The population of the Great Qin was already small, just over 20 million, and the Great Qin was such a large area.
People were needed to reclaim the fields, people were needed to build the roads, and people were needed for various public facilities.
Where do we not need people?
And when the level of technology rises and more new industries become available, he will be even more short of people.
Once the Chu lands have been pacified, internal changes will have to begin.
His ambition was not big, at the very least, to have everyone within the Great Qin well fed, clothed, housed, nourished and healed.
The quality of these things may not be that good, but they must be there!
Of course, this will be difficult, and it may take decades, if not centuries!
But that’s what he’s aiming for.
Listening to Zhao Lang’s extremely plain words, Mei felt that they were the most majestic words in the world and was so excited that she hugged Zhao Lang tightly.
Feeling Mei’s strength, Zhao Lang could not help but feel a little apoplectic.
He was about to recite a poem when he was pushed away by his opponent.
Zhao Lang blinked and said.
“It’s a crime to light a fire and not put it out!”
Mei’s neck turned a little pink, but still said, with extreme seriousness
“This is a technical institute, not a place you can stay long.”
If it was known that the Crown Prince of the Great Qin came to the Technical Institute during the day and stayed for a long time, there would definitely be bad rumours from the outside world.
She couldn’t let the other side have problems at this time.
Looking at Mei’s serious look, Zhao Lang knew that the other party would not obey him today, and could only say, helplessly
“Then I’ll keep you company again.”
Mei shook her head firmly.
“I’m afraid I can’t hold it, you’ll have to go now, I’ll tell you when I’ve changed places.”
With that, she got up and opened the door, pushing Zhao Lang towards the door.
Only when he opened the door, he saw Nou and the maid standing in the doorway with odd faces.
Zhao Lang took a look, “Oh, I’m sure I won’t be able to make it today.
So he got up and looked at Mei and said.
“It’s good, if two lovers are in love for a long time, how can they be in love at the end of the day?”
And when he had finished, he turned and left.
Only a shocked Mei was left behind.
In the Technical Institute, Mei had naturally met many literati and elegant people, but with this one sentence, those people were not even worthy to mention Zhao Lang’s shoes!
Until Zhao Lang left, Mei stood in place smiling and giggling.
Looking at Mei’s demented appearance, the maid said with a bit of hatred and disdain.
“Miss Mei! You are still laughing! The Prince has left! You didn’t even grasp such a good opportunity!”
“All you had to do was nod your head just now and you could have followed Gong Zi Lang to his happiness!”
“What’s the point of staying here?”
The maid could not understand it at all now, Mei could have followed Zhao Lang to enjoy her happiness!
Wouldn’t it be good to be clothed and fed every day and have slaves to wait on?
Mei had come back to her senses by this time and looked at her young maid and said
“What about the other sisters when I’m gone?”
“Ah Long has the world at heart, my mind is not so big, I only think of a few less wretches.”
The maid of honour muttered.
“All strange people, why don’t they enjoy themselves?”
Hearing this, Mei just laughed and whispered that
“In life, you have to do something.”
Looking at Mei’s determined look, the maid looked a little dazed, as if she saw a light in Mei’s face.
On the other hand, Zhao Lang didn’t know that Mei was already thinking about glowing, and made his way out of the technical courtyard, ready to go back to the palace.
The crowning ceremony of the prince was imminent and he could not leave Xianyang.
Looking at Zhao Lang, he was a bit distracted and seemed to be thinking about something.
Slave had already speculated in his heart that a normal man, who had suffered a defeat at the technical courtyard, whispered that
“Master, should we go and find Miss Li Ling’er?”
Zhao Lang underhandedly froze for a moment and
“Looking for Miss Ling’er to do…”
He quickly reacted and said to Nu, without a good
“What’s on your mind all day long?”
“Has the spiderweb received any news from the south?”
Slave quickly returned that
“Master, it has been inside the palace for the past two days, so the transmission of the news is not very timely.”
Zhao Lang also nodded with understanding, and then said that
“Have the spider webs gather more information up, I want to know the details, especially the date when Xiang Yu claimed the throne.”
Because after claiming the throne, the land of Chu would have a name and more military operations would begin.
He had to get the timing right.
Naturally, Nu claimed yes, and then hurriedly left.
Zhao Lang also returned to the palace with his men.
For the next two days, Zhao Lang basically followed Zhao Gao, familiarising himself with the rituals of the enthronement.
The rituals were somewhat cumbersome, but they had been handed down to him and he had no choice but to follow them.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince has done extremely well! Just take a break for now.”
After Zhao Lang repeated the etiquette once, Zhao Gao said extremely thoughtfully.
The slave at the side also promptly brought over a pot of warm water.
The Great Qin did have tea, only the tea of the Great Qin had all kinds of spices in it.
Zhao Lang really couldn’t appreciate it.
“Uncle Zhao you also sit down, we are in private, there is no need to be so formal.”
Zhao Lang said with a smile .
“Old slave thank His Highness the Crown Prince for the invitation to sit.”
Although Zhao Gao sat down, there was not the slightest overstep in his address.
One could believe half of the words of those in authority; if one really believed them all, one would not last long.
