Chapter 431 My Charming Ancestor 2
Seeing Zhang Wen coming, several people actually asked him to judge whose house the old people should go to. Zhang Wen really got into trouble. The old couple would definitely not choose him. Whoever they wanted to go with could follow him. He just needed to visit them during the holidays. They didn't want to fight for the family property. Why ask him?
Several people looked at him intently, insisting that he tell them who he was with. Zhang Wen had no choice but to say:
"How about we take turns taking turns each one for a month?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, several people got furious.
"Old Four, you want a piece of the pie too? No way!"
"Old Four, you have a good idea!"
According to the local custom, the family property belongs to whoever the child lives with. Originally, Zhang Wen had no chance, but if they took turns serving, the family property would have to be divided equally, and Zhang Wen would also be able to get a share. Several people would definitely not do that.
Zhang Wen didn't explain. He put down his things, wished the two old people a happy new year, and went home with his wife and children.
Ying Zheng had seen the situations of these two families, and when he thought of the seven children in Zhang Xintong's belly, it seemed that the children needed to be well educated from a young age, and had the ability to go out and struggle, relying on their own efforts, and not always focusing on these things at home.
After the New Year, Ying Zheng became busy. Because of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he did not arrange anyone for Zhang Xintong. However, he was busy during the day and would take care of her personally at night.
Ying Zheng began to build factories, including those for refining salt, smelting iron and steel for making weapons, making explosives, paper mills, movable type printing plants, compass factories, etc. Don't ask Zhang Xintong how he knew this, his books were in his bedroom, and he read them every day.
Ying Zheng also selected royal merchants for each place to improve the status of merchants. Of course, these merchants had to pay taxes. He wanted to make Qin rich first and then unify the six kingdoms.
In the later stages of pregnancy, Zhang Xintong often suffered from leg cramps at night, and Ying Zheng would personally massage Zhang Xintong's legs to make her feel better.
"Little fairy, are you feeling better?"
Zhang Xintong's belly was too big, her legs were cramping, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
"No, I feel bad."
As she spoke, Zhang Xintong began to feel aggrieved. The pregnant woman became very emotional and started crying.
Ying Zheng hugged and coaxed
"I will only give birth to this one child, and never again."
When the child was more than 8 months old and less than 9 months old, he started to cry and wanted to be born. Ying Zheng and his father-in-law and mother-in-law rushed Zhang Xintong to the hospital. There is no full-term birth or natural birth for multiple births, but Zhang Xintong took a birth control pill on the way and insisted on a natural birth. The doctor didn't expect that in less than half an hour, all 7 children were born, 3 boys and 4 girls, two brothers and a brother, and 4 girls in the middle, with a fairly balanced gender distribution.
After returning to the ward, Zhang Xintong took a recovery pill. It must be said that Taishang Laojun's pills were really good. The skin on her belly recovered quickly, and so did other parts of her body. Zhang Xintong only stayed in the hospital for one day and hurried home. She was afraid that the doctors and nurses would find out that her figure had recovered to that of a little girl.
I was worried about the names of my 7 children for a few days. There are so many children and it is difficult to name them.
Finally, historical names were chosen for the seven children: the eldest Ying Fusu, the second Ying Gao, the third Ying Yuanman, the fourth Ying Shiman, the fifth Ying Liman, the sixth Ying Jiman, and the seventh Ying Jianglu.
In modern times, seven children have the same surname as Zhang Xintong, namely Zhang Jingwen, Zhang Jingwu, Zhang Yayuan, Zhang Yashi, Zhang Yali, Zhang Yaji and Zhang Jingrui.
After her confinement, the coronation ceremony and wedding were scheduled, and she was busy for several months. In this world, Zhang Xintong married twice, both times to the same person.
Zhang Xintong gave Ying Zheng a copy of the high-yield farming materials in the space and bought him a lot of seeds in the modern era to bring to the Qin Dynasty. She also took a copy of the cannon blueprints and asked him to arrange for people to research and manufacture them.
Five years later, the power of Qin State reached an unprecedented level of prosperity. Ying Zheng sent Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian and Meng Yi to attack Zhao, Wei, Han and Chu State in four directions. With powerful weapons such as cannons and explosives, it didn't take much effort for the four countries to surrender. The four teams merged into two and then attacked Qi and Yan State. It took a total of two years. When Ying Zheng was 28 years old, he unified the six countries, and Qin State became the Qin Dynasty. Ying Zheng was called the First Emperor.
After unifying the six kingdoms, Ying Zheng established the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, standardized the writing system, the wheel gauge, and the weights and measures. He built highways, the Great Wall, dug the Lingqu Canal, abolished feudal fiefdoms, and adopted the county system.
Within a few years, everyone in the Qin Dynasty was able to eat and dress warmly, children could go to school, the status of merchants changed, the economy developed, and military power became strong. The prosperous era of China began.
Ying Zheng spent another two years to incorporate Nanyue and the Xiongnu into his territory.
Zhang Xintong had sold a lot of Qin Dynasty antiques over the years and used the money to buy the entire town. Those who moved out thought the developer was going to build houses, but Zhang Xintong's main reason was not that.
After repeated investigations, it was discovered that the town was located in the Qin Dynasty, where many representative antiques of the Qin Dynasty, such as Hetian jade and bronze artifacts, were buried deep underground to prevent them from being dug up. During modern excavations, it took considerable effort to recover over 50 pieces, all of which were donated to the National Museum.
After the town was restored to its original state, it was developed into a tourist area and Zhang Xintong made a lot of money.
In the world of Zhang Wuniang and the boss, Zhang Xintong received the blueprints of warships. In the past few years, Ying Zheng has sent people to build 3000 warships, each of which can carry 200 people and a certain amount of supplies and weapons.
At this time, Ying Zheng was 35 years old, Zhang Xintong was 33 years old, and the seven children were 7 years old.
The 35-year-old Ying Zheng was full of ambition and wanted to attack all the countries on the other side of the ocean and incorporate all those places into China's territory.
When Ying Zheng left, he would definitely take Zhang Xintong with him, and he would have to choose a crown prince to govern the country. However, none of his three sons wanted to be a crown prince, as it would be exhausting. After Zhang Xintong left, they could no longer travel back and forth between modern times and ancient times, and they preferred to live in modern times.
In the end, Ying Zheng had no choice but to force Ying Fusu to become the crown prince, as he was the eldest son. Ying Gao and Ying Jianglu were also forced to stay in the Qin Dynasty to assist their eldest brother in handling state affairs. Compared to the three brothers who suffered so much, the four sisters who were left in the modern era are living a very comfortable life.
Zhao Gao and others had been dealt with by Ying Zheng in advance. The three brothers were surrounded by loyal ministers and capable generals. Zhang Xintong and Ying Zheng's educational methods could not teach a perfect boy, so there was no need to worry about the rear.
When Ying Zheng and Zhang Xintong left, the three brothers were almost in tears.
"Mom, you must come back soon, the sooner the better. Dad should be the emperor. He is still young and we are still young. We don't want to stay in ancient times. We want to go back to modern times to see our grandparents and eat the food they cook."
Ying Zheng......
Zhang Xintong......
"Okay, go back! No need to send me off."
3000 warships and 60 troops set out. Although there were no satellites and positioning devices, the ancients had their own ways.
In ancient navigation, determining one's position mainly relied on tools and methods such as celestial navigation, compass, and nautical maps.
Zhang Xintong learned how to identify directions and confirm locations at sea from professionals.
