Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 138 Cargo Ship Blueprints

Li Mu and his men sharpened their knives and charged towards the grassland, bringing stability to the people in the northern border of Qin.

Every time Dan Hou received these slaves, she would smile with joy.

As the weather gets warmer, road construction is progressing more smoothly.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing's health in Xianyang City was gradually improving.

"Qingque, is this the last dose of medicine?"

When Zhang Yuanqing smelled the smell, he felt like he was going to be sick.

A pair of charming big eyes on his handsome face blinked, looking at Qingque expectantly.

Qingque has become immune to the Marquis's beauty attack.

He nodded, "Yes, Lord, Doctor Chang Xian said that you can stop taking the medicine for half a month after taking it. After that, Doctor Chang Xian will come back to check your pulse."

"Only stop for half a month? Didn't you say you don't need to take medicine anymore?"

I don't believe you, Qingque, you lied to me.

Zhang Yuanqing, who had just seen the light at the end of the tunnel, seemed to be cruelly thrown into hell by Qingque again, and he had lost all hope of life.

Qingque: I never said that. It was you, my lord, who misinterpreted the doctor's meaning.

He sighed deeply, "My Lord, it can at least stop for half a month, right? If after half a month, Doctor Chang Xian comes to check your pulse and your pulse is very good, then maybe you won't need to take the medicine anymore."

Ah Da, who was standing at the door, almost laughed out loud.

It's not easy for Qingque. Fortunately, I am smart and specially asked Qingque to take care of the Marquis's medicine. Otherwise, I would not have the ability to coax the Marquis to take medicine every day.

Thinking about the years before Qingque, I feel tears coming to my eyes.

It's not easy.

It’s not easy!

"What you said makes sense."

Zhang Yuanqing finally convinced himself and drank the last bowl despite the nausea.

Qingque packed up the medicine bowl and left. She could finally rest for half a month. If she continued like this every day, her hair would fall out.

Touching his decreasing hair volume, Qingque prepared to go to Dr. Changxiong to ask for a prescription for hair growth.

Otherwise, it would be too ugly if all my hair fell out at the age of eighteen or nineteen.

After the smell of medicine in the room dissipated, Zhang Yuanqing began to sit at the desk and draw blueprints.

That’s right, it’s the blueprint of a Tang Dynasty cargo ship.

Zhang Yuanqing read the book on the history of shipbuilding several times himself, and finally chose the blueprint of a Tang Dynasty cargo ship to draw, and then gave it to the Mohist school for them to study.

Now history has fast-forwarded a lot. Now it is the fifteenth year of King Qin, and Qin has already destroyed the four countries of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan one after another. Only Chu and Qi are left, and it is not far away.

After unification, ships with high carrying capacity must be built.

Time waits for no one. Zhang Yuanqing put aside all distractions in his mind and began to paint seriously.

Such a delicate work really troubled Zhang Yuanqing, and it took him more than ten days to complete this painting.

I made many mistakes during this period and had to redo them over and over again, which almost wore out my temper.

"My Lord, Doctor Chang Xian is here."

Zhang Yuanqing, who was lying on a recliner, rubbed his wrist and paused. He felt his wrist hurt even more and his head hurt too. What should he do if he didn't want to see anyone?

"My Lord, do you not want to see me?"

After a long time, Zhang Yuanqing didn't speak, and Chang Qiong walked in carrying a medicine box.

He placed the medicine box on the table and felt amused as he looked at Zhang Yuanqing pretending to be dead.

He is the prime minister of a country, but he can be so childish at times.

He heard from Qingque that the Marquis was good in every way except that he was very difficult to take medicine for.

For this reason, Qingque went to the inn to find him several times, just so that he could use less unpalatable herbs when prescribing medicine without affecting the efficacy of the medicine.

Isn’t this putting me in a difficult position?

How can any decoction taste good?

I thought it was a meal, and I could choose what I liked.

If it were someone else, he would have been able to knock the person out right then and there without the help of his disciples.

When Zhang Yuanqing heard Doctor Chang's voice, he almost had a stress reaction and really wanted to ask Ah Da to kick Doctor Chang's body out.

Drive away, drive away.

Yes, no.

He stood up from the recliner and said, "What are you talking about, Doctor Chang Xian? No one in this world wants to see a doctor every day. Isn't that just wishing for yourself to get worse?"

Chang Qian pinched his fingers and said, "This is the Marquis, the Right Prime Minister, and the medical sage. You can't hit him, you can't hit him."

You don't want to see someone, but someone wants to see you, wondering when you are giving someone a medical book.

"Put your hands up, my lord."

Seeing Zhang Yuanqing sitting down, Chang Qiong sat down and spoke.

She lifted her sleeves and placed her fair wrist in front of Chang Kuang, who reached out to feel her pulse.

After a while, Chang Xi withdrew his hand.

"The Marquis has been recuperating well recently and has recovered a lot."

"I am changing the prescription for you, my Lord. Take one dose every three days. I will come back in a month."

Zhang Yuanqing: ...

My life is over.

After Chang Qiong left, Zhang Yuanqing felt listless.

No matter how Qingque tried to coax her, it wouldn't work.

"My Lord, Tian Jiu and Yan Fang from the Mo family are here."

Ah Er's voice made Zhang Yuanqing forget about this matter temporarily, and he waved his hand to let Qingque go down.

"Invite them in."

"Greetings, Lord."

"Sit down quickly."

In later generations, these would all be scientific researchers and key national protected persons. Every time Zhang Yuanqing met with the Mo family, he was filled with admiration.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

"I called you here today because I have a blueprint for you to look at."

Standing up, Zhang Yuanqing took out a box and handed it to Yan Fang.

"You guys take a look first."

Yan Fang took it curiously and opened the box under Tian Jiu's urging gaze.

There are sheets of drawings inside.

The two looked at each other and carefully took it out to look at it.

At this glance, it has been a long time.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't disturb them, but sat there quietly, casually picking up a book to read.

After a long time, Yan Fang and Tian Jiu carefully put the drawings away.

"My Lord, we have already seen that some parts of the cargo ship depicted in this picture are very exquisite. We need to go back and study them carefully before we can make them."

Yan Fang was very excited about being able to research new things.

The baby looked at the drawings in the box and wished he could go back right away.

The same is true for Tian Jiu.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the two of them and said, "There's no rush now."

Yan Fang and Tian Jiu: Why not be anxious?

"Take these cargo ship blueprints back and look at them carefully. It's up to you to figure out how to build it."

"But don't worry. You are all great talents of our Qin State. You should rest well and don't overwork yourself."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fang and Tian Jiu were moved.

Since arriving in Qin, the Right Prime Minister has treated them with courtesy and respect.

As a result, the status of Mohism in Qin State has become much higher.

A special academy was also set up within the Daqin Academy for the Mohist school to recruit students.

Moreover, the various techniques used by the Right Prime Minister had a profound influence on the Mohist school.

How fortunate we, the Mohists, are to receive such help from the Right Prime Minister.

At that moment, Yan Fang and Tian Jiu stood up and bowed to Zhang Yuanqing, "Right Prime Minister, rest assured, we will study this map carefully and build this boat as soon as possible."

Zhang Yuanqing stood up, took two quick steps, and lifted up the arms of the two men.

"You two are both great talents of our Qin State. Please don't do this."

"Since the Mohists came to Qin, they have brought many benefits to Qin."

"Now, they have even produced sophisticated weapons for our Qin army, making them invincible on the battlefield."

"These are all your contributions. The Qin State will never forget them."
