Chapter 100: Standardized wheel gauge, standardized writing system, and unified weights and measures!
hiss-
When Ying Zheng and everyone else saw Ying Ziye nod, they all gasped and exclaimed in surprise!

"my God!"

It turns out that the immortal is hiding among us!

Immortality, what an enviable word! Everyone is fascinated by it.

"Well, Ziye, do you think it's too late for me to start practicing now?" Ying Zheng asked expectantly, rubbing his hands.

Who can resist the temptation of immortality and hope to become an immortal?
"Of course there is still time to practice, but I don't know if father has the qualifications to reach the Nascent Soul stage." Ying Ziye responded.

"If my father is determined to practice, you might as well set a small goal: become a land immortal first!" Ying Zheng was only in his thirties, but his desire for immortality was obvious.

He is indeed the emperor who is most obsessed with immortality!
"Well……"

"Then forget it!" Ying Zheng's hope was instantly shattered. Becoming a land immortal was just a small goal, and this small goal was probably out of reach for him, not to mention the subsequent Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms.

After a brief interlude, the Fengshan ceremony continued.

They climbed to the top of the mountain, where the Dragon and Tiger Guards built an altar with huge stones and erected a tall stone tablet, preparing to engrave an inscription praising Ying Zheng's achievements in order to hold the Fengshan ceremony.

"When the emperor ascended the throne, he enacted clear laws and disciplined his subjects."

"..."

"I personally visited remote areas, climbed Mount Tai, and visited the coast of the East China Sea."

"..."

Ying Zheng recited every word, and the officials carefully engraved it on the stone tablet.

Everyone was solemn and held their breath, not daring to disturb this sacred moment in the slightest.

Two hours later, the inscription was completed and placed on the top of Mount Tai, symbolizing the emperor's supreme authority.

Afterwards, everyone went down the mountain along the northern foot of Mount Tai and held another Zen ceremony at Liangfu Mountain.

At this point, the Fengshan Ceremony came to a successful conclusion!
The Great Qin Empire was officially established!
After the Fengshan Ceremony ended, Ying Zheng led the civil and military officials back to Xianyang, ushering in the era of the Qin Empire's rule.

Zhangtai Palace, inside the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, the world is now under the control of Qin, and the empire is just beginning."

“However, problems also emerged after unification.”

"The seven kingdoms of Qin, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Chu have gone through hundreds of years of development, each with its own unique culture and writing system, different currencies, and even different road standards for horse-drawn carriages..."

“These issues make the governance of the empire extremely complex.”

Prime Minister Feng Quji spoke frankly and raised to Ying Zheng the difficult problems left over after unification.

"Um……"

“It’s a tough question indeed.”

"My dear ministers, do you have any solution?"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, frowned, and asked his ministers for advice.

This problem is indeed a serious concern. If it continues for a long time, people from all over the country may develop the desire to restore their country because of their nostalgia for their homeland.

"Father, this is a piece of cake."

While everyone was in deep thought, Ying Ziye stood up.

He was all too familiar with this matter.

"oh?"

"What do you think, Prince? Tell me quickly!"

Seeing Ying Ziye step forward, Ying Zheng's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and a smile of relief appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He doted on this son deeply, and Ying Ziye never let him down. No matter how big the problem was, once it fell into his hands, he could make it simple.

“Only a cross!”

"Same track for cars, same writing system, same weights and measures!"

This famous historical quote uttered by Ying Ziye is familiar to even those who have a basic knowledge of history.

Undoubtedly, this is the best solution to the current predicament of the Qin Empire.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng and the other ministers in the court's eyes lit up and expressions of amazement appeared on their faces. They chewed the food carefully, nodded frequently, and praised it endlessly.

“Brilliant! Brilliant!”

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is extremely talented. With just a few words, he solved the thorny problem facing our Great Qin Empire." Li Si was full of praise and admiration.

"Your Excellency the Minister of Justice is absolutely right!"

"Your Highness is truly a rare talent!"

"Exactly! Exactly!"

"With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, the Qin Empire has nothing to worry about!"

Many ministers echoed the words of flattery one after another, and it sounded like they were veterans who had served in the court for a long time.
How else can it be possible?

Ying Ziye has been officially canonized as the crown prince, the future king of the Qin Empire. If he doesn't show his goodwill now, when will he?!

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

"My son is a man of great talent. He standardized the wheel gauge, the writing system, the weights and measures. With just a few words, he cleared the empire's predicament. Such talent is unparalleled in the world!" Ying Zheng praised repeatedly and was extremely satisfied with the strategy proposed by Ying Ziye.

A happy smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Ying Ziye with admiration.
In my son's hands, no difficulty is insurmountable!
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Your Majesty is well-read and knows all the written languages ​​in the world!"

"I am willing to assist the king, share your worries, and promote the Qin script to the world!"

Chunyu Yue immediately stepped forward and wanted to help Fusu gain merit in order to enhance his status in Ying Zheng's heart.

Even though Ying Ziye has been crowned the crown prince, there is always a chance of turning things around before he ascends the throne. Even if the hope is slim, it is worth a try.

Seeing Chunyu Yue come forward to make suggestions, a trace of annoyance flashed across Ying Zheng's face.

The Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Tai had worn away his last bit of goodwill towards Confucianism.

If it were not for the need for Confucianism to promote the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, Ying Ziye would have expelled Chunyu Yue and other Confucianists from the court long ago.

however.

Although Ying Zheng was disgusted with Confucianism in his heart, he had to admit that Confucianism was indeed the best among all schools of thought in terms of cultural education and text dissemination.

"Father, I believe that when the empire is first established, we should break away from the old and establish the new, and promote a completely new language!"

Ying Ziye ignored Chun Yuyue and gave advice to Ying Zheng again
Suddenly, he had in his hands an exquisite "Xinhua Dictionary" and a detailed "Chinese Pinyin Encyclopedia", which were all prepared by Ying Ziye long ago, waiting for the time to popularize them after the unification of the Qin Dynasty.

Now is the right time.

“Great idea!”

"What the prince said is very true!"

"A new empire must have new characters!" Ying Zheng nodded slightly, expressing his deep agreement with Ying Ziye's point of view.

"Your Majesty, although the Crown Prince's idea is excellent, it is extremely difficult to implement it!"

"It is not easy to create a new character, and it is difficult to learn and time-consuming to popularize. It will take a long time." Chunyu Yue saw that the credit was about to fall to someone else, and he immediately retorted in anxiety.

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed across Ying Zheng's face.

Although he had no good feelings towards Chunyu Yue, his words did make sense.

Creating, learning and promoting new characters is undoubtedly an arduous and long task.

"Father, don't worry!"

"I have considered this matter thoroughly and have solved it properly. The new characters are derived from the old ones. With the help of pinyin, it is easy to learn."

"Father, you can experience it yourself."

Ying Ziye handed over the dictionary and pinyin manual in his hand.

"Okay, I'll try it myself."

Curiosity flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he got up and walked towards Ying Ziye.
