Qin Dynasty: Becoming a peerless master through the Golden Light Mantra

Soon, a palace servant brought a basin of clean water to Han Che.

"Eleventh Young Master, the water is here."

Immediately, everyone stared intently at Han Che, eager to see what he would do next.

Looking at the waiter who was carrying a basin of water, Han Che gestured for him to put the water on the floor.

"Just put the basin on the floor; you don't need to carry it around."

"promise!"

The waiter bowed his head in response, put down the basin of water he was holding, and then stepped aside.

"Please, Father, move to the bottom; you can see it more clearly from here."

Immediately afterwards, Han Che looked up at King Han An on the throne and spoke.

Upon hearing this, King Han An stood up and left his throne: "Let me see what you're up to."

Meanwhile, the ministers who were far away were all eagerly craning their necks, wanting to see what would happen next.

After Han Wang An came to Han Che, Han Che squatted down.

He first used his free left hand to take some water from the wooden basin, and then poured it onto the fertilizer in the wooden box in his right hand.

Then, something happened that greatly surprised King Han An.

The fertilizer inside the wooden box was radiating heat as if it had been boiled in a pot, and a pungent odor followed.

The ministers were also very surprised.

Han Fei, on the other hand, had a knowing look on his face.

He had traveled to various places and knew of a strange substance that would boil upon contact with water.

Coming to his senses, Han Wang'an hurriedly asked, "Eleventh Brother, what happened?"

"Father, this is because the Jade Tiger added a substance called lime to the fertilizer."

Lime boils when it comes into contact with water.

Therefore, as long as the people of Nanyang spread these fertilizers made by Jade Tiger in their fields...

A single heavy rain could turn the fields of Nanyang into wasteland, plunging South Korea into crisis.

King Han An's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

As Han Che recounted the story, he could already imagine himself becoming a deposed ruler.

The main hall became very quiet at this moment.

None of the ministers dared to speak at this moment.

After a moment, King Han broke the silence and said, "This Jade Tiger is truly guilty of heinous crimes and must not be let off lightly."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi spoke again, leading the assembled officials.

Upon hearing this, Han Che turned his gaze to Ji Wuye standing to the side: "I wonder if the General has anything else to say?"

It was at this moment that King An of Han turned his attention to Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye lowered his head, obscuring his gloomy expression: "This general has nothing to say. Since Jade Tiger has committed such a heinous crime, he should be severely punished."

Han Che smiled and said, "It seems that the General is still a reasonable person."

Seeing that his courtiers had reached a consensus, King Han An turned his gaze to Han Fei: "Ninth Prince!"

Han Fei, suddenly called upon, hurriedly cupped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "Your subject is here!"

"You are the Minister of Justice. In your opinion, what punishment should be imposed on Jade Tiger?"

Seeing that King An of Han was about to question Jade Tiger, Han Fei said, "Father, Jade Tiger deserves to be executed for his crimes, but this matter is not that simple."

Jade Tiger is merely a merchant, and his abilities are limited. I suspect he has accomplices in Korea assisting him in his actions.

After thinking about it for a moment, King Han An suddenly realized that it made a lot of sense.

The thought that some people in the court who were receiving his salary also wanted him to become the ruler of a fallen kingdom made King Han An's face even more unpleasant.

Immediately afterwards, King Han An ordered, "Ninth Prince, I command you to thoroughly investigate this matter and find out Jade Tiger's accomplices in Han."

"Your subject obeys!"

Han Fei did not hesitate and immediately accepted the order, fearing that King An of Han might go back on his word.

With this order, his subsequent tasks became much easier.

King An of Han was very satisfied with Han Fei's positive attitude.

Then, he turned his attention to Han Che.

"Eleventh Prince, you may leave now if you have nothing else to do. You have done a great job in Nanyang; I will reward you another day."

Han Che's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, Father, but I have another matter to discuss."

Although most of these rewards were monetary, he didn't mind having too much money.

"What's wrong?"

"Your subject has recently found a great military strategist for the state of Han. This man is from Weishi in the state of Wei and his name is Liao. Mr. Liao also contributed a lot to the matter of the Jade Tiger."

Therefore, I would like to recommend Mr. Yu Liao for the position of Grand Commandant of the State of Korea.

Although the General is skilled in leading troops into battle, I still believe it is better to leave the matter of military administration to someone more specialized.

King An of Han was delighted upon hearing this: "I have heard of the military strategist Wei Liao before, but I never expected him to be willing to serve in the state of Han. Eleventh Prince, you have done a great job."

Looking at Han Che in front of him, he found him more and more pleasing to the eye.

He's handsome and capable; no wonder he's his son.

This time, not only did he discover the Jade Tiger's conspiracy in Nanyang and save the lives of the Koreans, but he was also able to recommend talented people to the Koreans.

Seeing the father and son working together so harmoniously, Ji Wuye could no longer sit still.

He has already lost a Jade Tiger. If Wei Liao, recommended by Han Che, were to become the Grand Commandant of Han, it would be a complete defeat for him.

Nightfall has become a laughing stock for the entire country of South Korea.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Commandant is an important position in the State of Han. Although Mr. Wei Liao is talented, it is probably inappropriate for him to assume such an important position so soon after arriving in the State of Han."

"The Left Sima, Liu Yi, was killed recently, and the position is currently vacant. Perhaps we should let Mr. Wei Liao take over the position to familiarize himself with Han military affairs."

Han Che was not surprised by Ji Wuye's obstruction.

However, this does not mean that he has chosen to compromise.

Although the Left Sima was an important military position, he was subordinate to the Grand General.

This means that Wei Liao will be hampered by Ji Wuye.

So Han Che immediately retorted with his prepared words: "General, Mr. Wei Liao is a famous military strategist of our time."

If we only grant him the position of Left Sima, wouldn't it make it seem like our state is neglecting talented people? If word gets out, not only will other countries laugh at us, but those talented people will also become disappointed with our state and choose to go to other countries.

King An of Han looked at the two arguing men with a hesitant expression.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Ji Wuye's recent performance, he did not intend to push Ji Wuye too far.

Ji Wuye is quite capable.

Moreover, they are bound together by shared interests.

However, Han Che's words also make sense.

Wei Liao was a great talent of his time, and giving him only the position of Left Sima made the state of Han seem insincere.

Immediately afterward, King Han An turned his gaze to Zhang Kaidi: "Minister Zhang, what the Eleventh Prince and the General said makes sense. What do you think I should do?"

Zhang Kai bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, this old minister feels that this matter is not urgent. Although Mr. Wei Liao's talent is renowned throughout the world, seeing him in person is worse than hearing about him."

"Your Majesty should first summon Master Wei Liao to the palace for a meeting, and then decide on Master Wei Liao's position."
