Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 48: Only when you lose it do you know how to cherish it. It’s so embarrassing!

The news of Qin Mo's resignation as prime minister spread, and the officials and nobles in Xianyang City, as well as the common people, as well as the businessmen and tourists from the six countries, all looked at it with sighs.

There are many private rumors that it was Qin Mo who understood Fan Li's famous saying, "The bird is gone, the bow is hidden, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked."

Therefore, like Fan Li, he retired early!

This rumor not only expresses injustice for Qin Mo, but also secretly mocks... the officials.

Yes, it’s not a dig at Ying Zheng, but a dig at the ministers!

Because as the news about Qin Mo's resignation spread, everyone understood that Qin Mo's resignation was not because Ying Zheng did not tolerate him.

Rather, the ministers were "jealous of talents and talents."

As a result, Yingzheng selected the candidate for the new right prime minister, and the ministers who were summoned and questioned every night were also ridiculed as - ministers who sleep in the election!

The bed that serves as a bed attendant has quite a lot of connotation.

Of course, this connotation sounded vicious to the ministers, especially in the pre-Qin era where justice was valued over life.

Having a ruined reputation is more embarrassing than death!

Except for Wang Wan, Feng Quji and others who had already been summoned for questioning before the rumors started spreading.

The remaining ministers who accepted the summons one after another felt very awkward. When they entered the main hall of the Qin Palace, they would unconsciously tighten their buttocks...

When asked, he was also absent-minded and seemed unwilling to take over the position of prime minister!

If you accept it, you will be criticized by thousands of people, your reputation will be ruined and you will be looked down upon, so why bother?

The strange development of the situation turned the position of prime minister into a hot potato, and the originally eager ministers turned to treat it coldly.

They all have the attitude that if I gain something, I am fortunate to lose my life!

Ying Zheng was quite surprised that the ministers were so free and easy, and he secretly slandered the ministers, maybe they were all infected with Qin Mo's habits.

It wasn't until a certain Tingwei surnamed Li accepted the summons that his aura of giving up to anyone else shook Ying Zheng's spirit.

Apart from anything else, at least this courage to do things is worthy of praise!

"If you want to make the people of the six countries return to their hearts, you must first unify the writing, get rid of the dross and get the essence..."

"Collect the historical records of the six countries again, abolish the theories that disturb people's minds, and prohibit the people from using the past to denounce the present, and use private knowledge to slander the government..."

"Within a few years of this, the world will be stable, everyone will write Qin characters, and everyone will obey Qin's system!"

Li Si spoke eloquently, foaming at the corners of his mouth.

But Ying Zheng just nodded, his expression indifferent, and his red phoenix eyes glanced at the big lacquer box on the desk from time to time.

The cracks in the paint box are mottled, which is obviously caused by frequent opening and closing use!

"Unifying the text is feasible, but..."

Ying Zheng first affirmed Li Si's policy, and then changed the subject: "But... it is unnecessary to collect historical records, abolish doctrines, and ban policies."

"In my opinion, obstruction is worse than sparseness. The imperial court convened all the doctors from all over the world to revise the classics of the six countries and hundreds of schools of thought. They either criticized, criticized or praised, and then extended the Qin system from this."

"In this way, we can establish the orthodoxy of the Qin system and make all people return to their hearts!"

Li Si was speechless when he heard this. He was surprised by Ying Zheng's lofty vision. He bowed in despair and said: "What your Majesty said is true. This is a shame."

Ying Zheng laughed loudly, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so self-deprecating. If you have any good ideas for governing the country, please give me a try. I'll listen attentively."

Li Si gathered his energy, but he hesitated a lot when he spoke again, and he no longer had the momentum to wait for anyone else to do so.

The monarch and his ministers talked all night. After talking about civil affairs, they talked about military affairs. After talking about military affairs, they talked about side affairs...

Until daybreak, Corporal Yingzheng Lixian personally escorted Li Si out of the inner hall.

Li Si left expectantly and anxiously, but Ying Zheng returned to the palace and waved away all the servants.

Then he didn't rest, but opened the big lacquer box on the desk, looked through the bundles of bamboo slips inside, and said nothing for a long time!

Snapped--

After an unknown amount of time, Ying Zheng finally read through all the bamboo slips and closed the lacquer box again.

“It’s worth throwing away when comparing goods, but it’s worth comparing people to people.”

"Going through the selection process, Qin Qing still has to be the prime minister..."

Ying Zheng stroked the mottled lacquer box and sighed deeply.

In fact, when he let Qin Mo go free, he probably had other thoughts in mind.

But now he regrets it again. He only learned to cherish it after losing it. It's very embarrassing!

…

In the evening, Ying Zheng selected his concubine... well, the selection of the prime minister continued, and another minister was called into the palace to question him.

The bedchambers who had been summoned and questioned no longer had any extravagant expectations. They gave up their thoughts of going to check in every day and handle the imperial government affairs together!

On this day, all the ministers were bowing their heads and willing to act like a bullock, but someone told an interesting story, saying that a road was built outside the city.

The road was watered with sand, but after it dried, it became stronger than iron and stone. Even a sledgehammer could not break the road!

If any of the profligate people in the city did not believe in evil, they would go in groups and hit them with hammers. When Nei Shiteng, who was in charge of Guanzhong, learned about it, he was furious and arrested them all and sent them to hard labor for several days to build roads.

But after those libertines came back, they boasted to others about how hard the road was, which provoked more libertines to try it, and even Nei Shiteng was exhausted...

"How can a road that is watered with sand and not paved with big rocks be so solid? It's probably just the lies of a prodigal!"

Feng Jie upheld the ethics of a censor and said sarcastically.

Li Yu was interrupted when he was talking, and he couldn't help but said: "That is not a boast, the sand used to build the road is not ordinary sand."

"I personally went to see it. It was made by the secret method studied by the Prime Minister of Qin...Qin Hou. It is called concrete."

“Concrete can not only pour roads to make them hard, smooth and easy to walk on, but it can also build water conservancy dams to make them impregnable.”

"If my father had had this land back then, Bashu's water conservancy would have been built even more solidly!

Li Yu’s father’s name is Li Bing.

It was Li Bing who built the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, which caused flooding in the Bashu region, and quickly replaced Guanzhong and became the land of abundance.

Of course, Li Yu was no worse than his father. He made great contributions to the construction of Dujiangyan, and later he was also known as Guanjiangkou Erlang Xianshengzhenjun.

He is the one who has three eyes, has a dog, and beats Sun Wukong until he loses his temper!

"So, that road is the Guanxi Straight Road that the Marquis of Qin encouraged His Majesty to build?" Feng Jie asked in astonishment.

After hearing this, the ministers no longer wanted to deal with government affairs. They all raised their heads and looked at Li Yu, waiting for his answer.

Li Yu was good at water conservancy and had the quality of an engineering man. He really didn't think about these twists and turns. He grabbed his white beard and said: "When I went to see the road, Qin Hou was also there. He was very interested in that road. It should be

……Bar?"

Feng Jie and the other ministers looked at each other in confusion. Given the Marquis of Qin's habit of leaving everything to his subordinates for implementation, yet he was so focused on that road. It must have been the Kansai Straight Road.

"Actually, with such a solid and smooth straight road, it will be a hundred times easier for business travelers to get in and out of the fortress. There is nothing wrong with collecting some tolls, and I'm afraid the business travelers will not object." Li Yu said happily.

The ministers looked at each other again and were speechless for a long time.

Finally, Feng Jie said: "Did you ask for Qin Hou's secret recipe for concrete?"
