You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 410 Sending the Great Qin Ancestor to the Sea

The construction of merit pavilions throughout the Qin Dynasty proceeded smoothly, with almost every place where Qin troops were stationed having one.

This greatly benefited the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.

Moreover, ordinary people can also exchange rare and precious materials for items in the Hall of Merit. The only difference is that they must exchange them on the spot, since they do not have merit badges.

This made the people of Qin very happy. After all, the spiritual energy in Qin was very abundant, but many people did not have suitable cultivation methods, which prevented them from reaching higher realms.

The Hall of Merit is open to them, which means they can exchange for cultivation techniques and martial arts skills within the Hall of Merit.

This is very tempting to them.

After all, no one wants to stay at one level forever; anyone with even a little ambition would be unwilling to accept that.

During this period, large numbers of Qin people flocked into the deep mountains and forests to search for spiritual herbs and other items hidden in these places. Once the Merit Pavilion was officially operational, they would go there to exchange for cultivation techniques.

Putting those aside for now, establishing so many merit pavilions at once puts a lot of pressure on the Qin Dynasty. Not only does it require transporting various resources to the merit pavilions in different places, but it also requires assigning special people to be in charge of the operation of the merit pavilions.

Fortunately, Xiao He and his colleagues were exceptionally capable and handled these matters perfectly without making a single mistake.

After finishing his business in the Xianyang Imperial Palace, Ying Chen went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

At this moment, Ying Tianzong and the others were gathered together cultivating.

Since Ying Chen gave them the pills that allowed their cultivation to break through, the lifespans of these ancestors have also increased significantly.

Moreover, the spiritual power of the Great Qin Dynasty has been continuously increasing, and Ying Chen occasionally sends them pills that enhance their aptitude, which has greatly increased their potential.

Therefore, they often gathered together to cultivate, since as the ancestors of a dynasty, their strength within the court was not among the top, which made them feel somewhat embarrassed.

After Ying Chen arrived, all the ancestors woke up.

"See the Emperor!"

These patriarchs all bowed to Ying Chen.

"Esteemed ancestors, there's no need for such formalities. I've said it many times: I am a junior, how can I allow you to bow to me?"

Ying Chen quickly used his spiritual power to help these elders up and said.

These elders simply smiled and remained silent upon hearing Ying Chen's words.

Although they were Ying Chen's elders, Ying Chen was an emperor and had to maintain the dignity of a ruler. If they were to disrespect Ying Chen because of their status as his ancestors, they would probably find it difficult to stay in the Qin Dynasty.

After all, these ancestors were originally dispensable figures in the Great Qin Dynasty.

"Chen'er, what brings you to the ancestral hall today?!"

Ying Tianzong came to Ying Chen's side and asked in confusion.

"Grandpa!"

Ying Chen laughed and called out.

"I've come today to deliver a batch of resources. I've been too busy with state affairs to come before, so this time I've come personally to deliver the resources..."

"As for the resources, others can deliver them. There's no need for you to make the trip yourself. Although your great-grandfather was never the emperor of the dynasty, he was still a ruler. As a ruler, there were already endless matters to handle. As an emperor, you must be even busier. It's not worth making you make the trip for us old men..."

Although Ying Tianzong complained, his face was always full of smiles.

Clearly, he was satisfied with Ying Chen's high regard for them.

Ying Chen's cultivation level has now surpassed theirs, yet he doesn't look down on them at all, which makes him very gratified.

"Grandfather, rest assured, I have a group of capable ministers under my command. They will handle many things well. There is actually not much for me to do."

Ying Chen said with a smile.

"That's good!"

Ying Tianzong nodded and said.

"I actually have another matter to discuss with you this time!"

"Recently, our Great Qin has once again waged war abroad, but this time it is not on land, but at sea..."

Ying Chen led the group of elders into the ancestral hall, found a place to sit down, and then spoke.

"Sea area?"

Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, all the elders were filled with doubt.

In their time, the Qin Dynasty was just an imperial dynasty, and they had no opportunity to come into contact with the sea, so they knew nothing about the sea.

"Chen'er, I learned a bit about the sea when I was young. I've heard that there are many powerful people in the sea, even more powerful than those on land. Although our Great Qin is strong now, isn't it a bit too hasty to take action against the sea now?"

Ying Tianzong frowned. He had traveled extensively in his youth and had some understanding of the seas, but not much. He only knew that the seas were very powerful and he was worried that the Great Qin would suffer losses in the seas.

"Grandfather, rest assured, our Great Qin is only attacking the sea areas near the land. The sea creatures here are not very powerful, and our Great Qin can handle them completely. Currently, our Great Qin has already occupied a portion of the sea area and has not encountered any particularly powerful sea creatures..."

Ying Chen smiled and comforted Ying Tianzong.

"As long as you know what's going on!"

Ying Tianzong nodded. He knew that they could no longer keep up with the pace of the Great Qin Dynasty. The only thing they could do now was to unconditionally support any decision Ying Chen made.

Since Ying Chen said he was fine, then he really was fine.

"Now that all of you patriarchs have greatly increased your strength, I have decided to send you to the seas for some training to digest this increased power..."

"Currently, the power of the Qin imperial family is very weak. I have been cultivating members of the imperial family, but it will be difficult to see results in the short term. However, recently, a promising talent has emerged within the imperial family, and I intend to focus on nurturing him..."

Ying Chen then told the elders about Ying Hao's situation.

"Therefore, I hope that all of you venerable ancestors can temporarily shoulder the responsibilities of the imperial clan..."

The elders' expressions turned solemn upon hearing Ying Chen's words. They had not expected that the clan had fallen to such a state.

It's not that the Central Plains have declined, but rather that they have fallen behind the Qin Dynasty.
