Chapter 193 Zulong Visits Again
After experiencing the convenience of life in a villa, Shuoyang yesterday deeply realized how difficult life is for the common people. It is not only hard, but also extremely inconvenient. He has made up his mind to make life more convenient for the common people. Not to say that he wants the common people to live like they do in a villa, but he also wants them to be able to make their lives more convenient.

So Shuoyang got up early the next day to read a book. After learning how to make a tinderbox from the book, he went to teach the villagers.

Take making fire for example. The people of Daqin still use flint for their daily lives. Making fire and cooking is still very troublesome, especially in humid weather, it takes a lot of time and effort to make a fire.

On the other side, after burning incense and bathing, Zulong also set out from Xianyang early in the morning in casual clothes with several ministers and three hundred guards.

After a whole morning of travel, Zulong finally arrived at the village at lunchtime.

As soon as he entered the village, a guard in plain clothes came up to Meng Yi and whispered something.

After receiving the report from the guard, Meng Yi immediately came to Zulong and reported: "Your Majesty, most of the villagers are gathered at the end of the village. I went to investigate and found that a female fairy who calls herself Dan Chensu is teaching the villagers how to cook food and make something called a fire stick at the end of the village."

"Dan Chensu, the female fairy!" Zulong muttered to himself after hearing this, and then said, "I don't know what the fairy's intention is, so let's go and take a look first!"

"Tell the guards not to follow too closely."

"Yes!" Meng Yi responded immediately and arranged most of the guards to move far away, leaving only himself, Wang Ben, Li Si and two guards to follow Zulong.

When they arrived at the end of the village, Wang Ben brought a guard to clear the way for Zulong and squeezed out a path through the crowd.

"Shuoyang!"

Looking at Shuoyang who was teaching the villagers how to make dumplings in the crowd, Zulong's heart trembled. Although he hadn't seen Shuoyang for five years, and although Shuoyang had grown into a big girl and changed a lot in five years, Zulong still saw the shadow of the past on Shuoyang's face.

Hearing the voice, Shuoyang's heart trembled, but she quickly calmed down and pretended to be ignorant and continued to teach the villagers how to make dumplings. However, she could not concentrate wholeheartedly at this time.

Looking at Shuoyang who was teaching the villagers wholeheartedly, Zulong suppressed his surprise and asked, "Excuse me, what is this lady's name?"

Facing his father, Shuoyang could not recognize him. He could not help but curse Fusu in his heart again, but he had to pretend not to know him. He smiled and bowed, "This uncle is Taoist Nun Danchensu. I see that you have a noble bearing and a noble look. You are not from this village, right? I wonder what brings you here?"

Seeing that the woman in front of him did not recognize him, Zulong did not say much, but smiled and said: "Hello, Taoist nun. May I ask if you know Dan Chenzi? We are here to visit the immortal Dan Chenzi."

Shuoyang said immediately: "Dan Chenzi is my senior brother. When he left, he told me that there would be distinguished guests coming to visit. Please wait for a while. I will teach the villagers to do their work and then lead the distinguished guests over."

"So you are the junior sister of the Immortal Master. I am so sorry for your disrespect!" Zulong said with a smile, then looked at the strange items in front of Shuoyang and asked, "Excuse me, what are you doing, Fairy? What are these tools?"

Upon hearing this, Shuoyang said bluntly: "This is a millstone, which can grind hard grains into powder. Take corn for example, after grinding it into powder, add water to make dough. This dough can be baked on a stone slab or container, or put in this steamer~~~"

Listening to Shuoyang's story, Li immediately realized the important role it played in benefiting the army and the people, so he immediately took out bamboo slips and a brush and began to record.

Zulong and Meng Yi were also excited when they heard this. Although the steps were a bit complicated, it would make it easier for the people to swallow the dried corn, which was not only more convenient for eating, but also for traveling.

Seeing this, Shuoyang said a few words and then stopped and waited for a while.

Although Qin Xiaozhuan was difficult to write, Li Si's writing speed was not slow. Combined with Shuoyang's intentional slowing down and pausing, he was able to record it completely.

"Your Majesty, can the Qin Dynasty really get back on track?" In the villa, Bai Qi looked at the scene in the village in the distance and asked Fusu with some concern.

Although Bai Qi died unjustly, it is undeniable that he had feelings for the Qin Dynasty and hoped that the Qin Dynasty would become better and better. Especially after reading history books and seeing the bright future in the books, he also hoped that the people of the Qin Dynasty could live the good life described in the books.

But he also knew the current situation in the world. The Qin Dynasty had deviated too much from what was recorded in history books, and the Central Plains had now gone down a distorted path.

"Don't worry, I am also half Qin, so I will not let this situation continue!" Fusu said to Bai Qi: "How is the situation over there now?"

When Fusu left, Bai Qi and Lian Po were responsible for the attack on the Maurya Empire.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi reported briefly: "The Maurya Dynasty has been destroyed, but many people have fled to the west. The army attacked all the way and finally stopped in the Central Continent. Now they have joined forces with people there to build a high wall in the Central Continent."

"Sang Biao, how is the progress on your side?" Fusu turned to Sang Biao who was beside Bai Qi and asked. When he left, Sang Biao was in charge of the battle in the Western Regions, which was already under attack from two sides.

Of course, compared with the Maurya Dynasty, the treatment of Fusu in the Western Regions was much more tolerant. The order given to Sang Biao was to win without fighting if possible, and to force surrender as much as possible rather than killing.

Sang Biao reported: "My king, the Western Regions have all surrendered now. My army's rule extends all the way to the Himalayas, and there has not been much killing."

"Yeah!" Fusu nodded and looked at Fen Zhenrou at the end.

This time, without Fusu asking, Fen Zhenrou reported: "Your Majesty, Yanmen Pass is still in our hands. At the same time, we have occupied Siberia in the north. However, without Your Majesty's order, we have not continued to march north."

"Okay, I get it. Just keep doing what you are doing! Bai Qi, continue to lead your troops and show up in the west more often. There is no need to launch a large-scale attack!"

Fusu gave the order immediately, and then looked towards the village in the distance again.

Fusu and the three undead behind him are all very powerful. Their mental strength and eyesight are naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if they are a mile away, they can see clearly and hear clearly.

At this time, Shuoyang had finished talking about the stone mill and the steamer, and was now explaining how to make a fire stick.

Fire sticks are easy to make. All you need is a bamboo tube or a wooden barrel, and some dry grass and leaves to compact them. After a special process, they can be made. They can usually be used for two to three days.

"It's time to guide them to develop coal!"

After listening to Shuoyang's story, Fusu had an idea in his mind.

It takes a very long time to cook the dried corn, which consumes a lot of firewood. There is no such thing as afforestation in the Qin State today. At most, only rich families will plant some. The consumption of firewood is completely inconsistent with natural growth, and it will cause great damage to the environment in the long run.

Although there were stone mills, they still consumed a lot of wood.
