Li Si didn't say anything else. He took paper and pen and started writing. Looking at his serious look, Ying Zheng didn't bother him and just waited for him to finish. Li Si's writing speed was very fast, almost
There was no interruption. Li Si quickly completed his creation on the two pieces of paper. He respectfully placed what he had written in front of Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng read it carefully and saw that the first page contained a story in the Horse Service Book. Zhao Kuo once lamented that it was not that there were no thousand-mile horses in the world, but that there was a lack of bole. Li Si wrote this story with a very clear intention.
He said that he has the talent of a thousand-mile horse, but he is not appreciated by Bole. Ying Zheng looked at it and couldn't help laughing. It's hard to say whether it is a thousand-mile horse. These days, I have seen a lot of thousand-mile horses, even a thousand-mile horse.
!
He picked up the second piece of paper, and when he looked at it, he was stunned, because he couldn't recognize the content on the second piece of paper at all. He didn't know these words... Ying Zheng frowned,
He had followed Han Fei to learn the writing and languages of various countries since he was a child, but this was the first time he saw such writing. He squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. Finally, he saw that although the writing was different, he could still roughly understand it.
After you figure out what the word is, it's still the same story.

"What...what text is this?"
"This is my improved version of today's Qin seal characters. What do you think?"
"What you improved? You were preparing for it?"
"No, even with the improvements we have made now, there are still many shortcomings... Please give me some time..."
Ying Zheng took a breath of air-conditioning. He suddenly understood what Han Fei meant by being able to do practical things. Han Fei could say that he would unify his writing after he became the king of the world, but he was asked to improve his writing immediately and come up with a set of words that could be used.
It would take Han Fei several years to come up with a new text to promote...and Li Si couldn't say anything about the necessity and importance of unifying the text after one king, but the problem is, can he do it in an hour?
I will come up with a new set of text for you.
Many people know that weights and measures need to be unified, but not many people can do this directly.
Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at Li Si in front of him in surprise. Li Si was exceptionally calm. Ying Zheng looked at him for a long time, put down the paper in his hand, and asked: "The regicide of the Chu State has become the Chu State's regicide."
King, he wants to voluntarily give up the friendship with Qin, what do you think should be done?" Li Si said seriously: "You should discuss this matter with Liao, Wu Chenghou and others."
"No matter who is in charge of Chu State, we must destroy him. At this time, the strategies given by these generals are probably more accurate than mine."
"Hahaha, very good!" Ying Zheng laughed, and his attitude towards Li Si also changed. He no longer concealed it and told Han Fei that he recommended him as the Prime Minister. Li Si heard
Han Fei recommended himself, but he couldn't believe it. The relationship between him and Han Fei was not very good. They had some issues when they first met. Han Fei and Li Si were actually a perfect match in some aspects.
Han Fei has outstanding theoretical achievements, and Li Si has extraordinary practical ability.
Ying Zheng said: "I have understood the reason why Han Feizi recommended you. However, I want to tell you that your current political achievements are not enough to become the prime minister... Now, Qin already owns the Sanjin area, and Han Feizi
The land is overcrowded and there is little arable land, Wei has few officials, and Zhao is short of everything... I will leave the affairs of these three areas to you. You want to make the Three Jins become the Three Jins of Qin. As long as you can complete it.
This is enough for you to serve as the Prime Minister."
"only!"
After sending away the confident Li Si, Ying Zheng felt relieved. After Lu Buwei, he still had many people who could take his place. This Li Si was very good. He had indeed ignored him before. Ying Zheng
Thinking about this, Zheng once again read the reports sent from various places. As Qin's territory continued to increase, he had to deal with more and more things. It was really not a task for all countries to accept Qin's way of life.
Simple things.
The arrival of officials from Zhao made Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hands.
Ming was very sad because her relatives killed each other. The purge after Ying Chu came to power caused her to lose all her relatives. During this period, Ying Zheng was always comforting himself, and occasionally asked Qi
Come to the palace, the three of them have some food together. Ming and Qi are close relatives... Ming's father is the younger brother of King Kaolie. Because his brother died young, King Kaolie raised her.
Therefore, Qi, who is the eldest son of King Kaolie, can also be regarded as Ming's elder brother. However, because Qi grew up in the Qin State, he was not too close to Ming. Ming, who grew up next to King Kaolie, was very close to Qiang, who was executed.
, Yu, and even the regicide Fu Chu, all grew up together. Therefore, when Fu Chu killed the other two people, Ming almost collapsed. Fortunately, Ying Zheng was by her side, and
A sensible son.
Ming was pregnant again, and Fusu was very happy about this. As he grew up, Fusu showed a tenderness similar to his mother. He was never distressed or naughty. He was very well-behaved and could sit down.
I sit next to Ming all day long, neither crying nor fussing. Ming loves him very much. The little guy seldom acts coquettishly. He is kind-hearted and gentle. Ming often calls him my little gentleman. His behavior is a direct replica of him.
The Marquis of Wu Cheng.
A young gentleman.
In fact, our Marquis Wu Cheng was not like this when he was young... The one with the most easy-going personality was probably Zhao Kang, who needed to be beaten.
Ming had just coaxed Fusu to lie down and was thinking about something when she saw Ying Zheng barging in. Ying Zheng's eyes were red, his whole body was trembling, and he looked very wrong. Ming hurriedly stepped forward, but Ying Zheng hadn't spoken yet.
, but shed tears first. He closed his eyes and let the tears wash his face.
"What's wrong with you?"
"The eldest mother is gone."
"I want to go to the riding uniform."
Ming looked at the extremely sad man in front of her, and her heart ached. Of course she knew how much Ying Zheng cared about his eldest mother. He almost grew up in her eldest mother's arms. Ying Zheng always told him that in this world,
No one loves him more than his eldest mother. He will also tell many interesting things about his childhood, and every incident is related to his eldest mother. Like Zhao Kuo, Ying Zheng cannot accept it.
He dropped what he was doing again, got into the carriage, told Lu Buwei about his departure, and left Xianyang in a hurry.
Kang was also left with him. Kang also fell silent at this moment, no longer as optimistic as before.
Sitting in the inner room, Zhao Kuo simply changed his appearance. His hair was messy, his energy was listless, his face was pale, and his eyes were red. It was almost impossible to tell that he was the handsome and elegant gentleman he was before... The death of his mother had a profound impact on Zhao Kuo.
The blow was huge and almost destroyed him. Zhao Kuo had been silent for a long time. He just sat in the inner room without saying a word, unable to get out of the sadness for a long time.
Yi persuaded him for a long time, but this could not heal the scars in Zhao Kuo's heart.
Time passed quickly. Ying Zheng took Kang to Mafu. When they saw their mother, they both couldn't help crying. They couldn't see their eldest mother for the last time. Yi took them to Mafu.
He came to pay homage to Zhao's mother at his grave. Ying Zheng had never been so embarrassed. Ever since he became the king, he had never been so out of control. Because he was a king, he could not show too many things that ordinary people had.
.
And Zhao Kang also stretched out his hand to wipe his tears. The eldest mother always said that he wanted to wait until his child was born. His child was about to be born, but the eldest mother could never see it again. The place of Mafu was very important to Zhao Kuo and Ying.
The government is quite lethal, because they can find Mother Zhao's figure everywhere here. This place is still the same as before, but the person who walked here holding their hand can no longer be found.
Yi comforted her two sons. She could no longer touch their heads, but her arms were still so strong that she could hold them... Zhao Kang first asked about Zhao Kuo
,"Where is the father?", the artist sighed and said: "He...", she couldn't describe Zhao Kuo at this moment, she could only take her two children to see him.
Their arrival did not change anything. Zhao Kuo was still so sad, but in front of his son, he could no longer cry, especially when Zhao Kang hugged him and cried, Zhao Kuo just slapped Zhao Kang numbly.
He hugged Zhao Kuo's back and encouraged him to be strong. The family was reunited again, but now they were not as happy as before. Faced with Zhao Kuo's dejection, Yi couldn't find any solution.
Ying Zheng endured the pain in his heart, and while eating, he talked about the three laws established by Han Fei.
Sure enough, Zhao Kuo was led to some ideas. He was a little surprised when he listened to Ying Zheng describing what Han Fei had done. He nodded and said: "What he did is right, but it is still not perfect. The economy
Law, political law, etc... In fact, when it comes to refinement, there are many things that can be achieved to the extreme. However, it is good that he is going in the right direction. It seems that he will soon
A constitution for the Qin Dynasty can be promulgated..."
"What do you mean?"
"nothing."
"He recommended Li Si to me and wanted Li Si to be the prime minister..." Ying Zheng suddenly talked about state affairs, which made Zhao Kang a little angry, because in his opinion, now is not the time to talk about national affairs. His father
He was so sad, couldn't we give him some time to rest and calm down? He was about to reprimand his brother when Yi on the side pulled his sleeve. The one who knows her son best is his mother.
Yi seemed to know what Zhao Kang wanted to say. Yi gestured in the direction of Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kang also looked at his father.
Zhao Kuo, who was on the verge of collapse, became serious at this moment. He looked at Ying Zheng and listened to Ying Zheng talking about Han Fei and Li Si, as well as the spring plowing in various places and the arrangements for the place. His father seemed to have returned to the past.
Zhao Kang didn't speak anymore. When Ying Zheng talked about the amazing feats Li Si had accomplished, Zhao Kuo nodded and said with emotion: "Li Si is a capable person. His execution ability is almost unmatched by anyone."
."
"However, there is still room for improvement in creating fonts. The fonts are for the convenience of recording. The simpler the characters, the more beneficial and popular they will be, and can cultivate more officials for the Qin State... I know a kind of
Very simple font, maybe I can help him..."
"He said that he wanted to use the new font to write an article as an enlightenment reading."
"Enlightenment reading... Then I can also help him."
"I have left the matter of spring plowing to Li Si... I have also specifically instructed officials in various places that if people starve to death in their territory, they will be severely punished. Regarding the local situation, you can
Don't worry... Li Si wants to cultivate 10 million hectares of arable land in Sanjin within eight years. In this way, Sanjin will become the largest grain-producing area in Qinzi, even surpassing Guanzhong and Bashu areas
..."
"At the same time, he can feed tens of millions of people..."
"Okay, this is the best..." Zhao Kuo nodded. If Li Si can really accomplish his goal, Qin will probably not be short of food for a long time and even be able to resist
Some large-scale natural disasters. The two talked about state affairs, and Ying Zheng complained about Zheng Guo. In order to save manpower, he promised Zheng Guo to set up six small channels in the south of Zheng Guo Canal.
But in the hands of Zheng Guo, a construction madman, these six small canals gradually turned into eight, and later became ten. Now he is digging the eleventh small canal. His ambition is very big. He wants to irrigate the entire Guanzhong.
The cultivated land in the southern highlands... Zhao Kuo said seriously: "You still have to stop this matter. Building canals is a good thing, but building them over the years will turn a good thing into a bad thing."
"Give the people time to rest."
Ying Zheng suddenly said: "But this will achieve great results. After completing the six small canals, I plan to gather manpower to build a water conservancy project on the river bank that far exceeds the Zhengguo Canal, so that Sanchuan, Hanoi, Hedong, Handan, and Dongjun
, Julu and other counties can be affected by water canals..." Zhao Kuo couldn't help but frowned, and he said: "How can this be done? The three Jin Dynasties have just been pacified. If you want to dig such a canal, you have to use it.
How many people are there?!"
"You're right... In the short term, we really shouldn't call in manpower, because I still want to attack the Chu State. Chu's regicide is blatantly slandering the Qin State. I want to use the strength of the whole country to attack him.
Destroy Chu!"
"Stupid! The Chu State is a big country. How can it easily launch a war without complete preparations? If it loses, the three Jin Dynasties will have big problems!"
Zhao Kuo was angered by Ying Zheng and scolded him.
Ying Zheng put on a respectful attitude and said: "You are right. If you didn't remind me, I would have almost made a wrong decision... It seems that I will have to ask you more about these things in the future, and then I will
Make a decision."
Zhao Kuo was about to say something when suddenly he was stunned. He looked at Ying Zheng in front of him and instantly understood his intention.
Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "Okay, I understand."
"You guys don't let me worry about it even for a day."
