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

Chapter 5 Yu Ji: I want to sell fine clothes and jewelry, please donate money!

The time is pushed back to three days ago.

With dark circles under her eyes, Yu Ji watched Qin Mo go out and then stood in a daze in the small courtyard.

The small courtyard is adjacent to the Zhenguo Marquis' Mansion. Looking beyond the wall of the Marquis' Mansion, one can vaguely see the pavilions, towers, eaves and brackets in the mansion.

Towering, gorgeous and majestic, it seems to be as good as the Qin Palace!

If she could become Mrs. Chehou, she would be the master of this mansion in front of her, and she would share it with Qin Mo.

but……

Thinking of the snub I received last night.

Thinking of Qin Mo's honesty and self-preservation.

The little girl couldn't help but retreat in her heart!

No matter how good the Marquis's residence is, no matter how noble Mrs. Chehou is, they are still like the moon in the mirror, something that can only be hoped for but not achieved.

“Although I’m in a good place, I can’t help myself.”

Yu Ji's pretty face showed loneliness, and she sighed softly.

Then, he turned back to the hut and started cleaning up.

There weren't many things in the hut, and the only thing worthy of attention was the pile of slips and slips in the main room.

Maybe there was a rat attack last night, and some bundles of slips were damaged.

Yu Ji picked up a bundle of scattered slips with broken hemp ropes and sorted them out to repair them.

She is literate, so she is not afraid of getting the order of each bamboo slip wrong.

However, as she looked down the bamboo slips one by one, she became fascinated.

The content in the slips is not complicated. It is Qin Mo's petition to the First Emperor to abolish the law of using prisoners of war from the six countries as slaves and convert them into hard labor, and set a number of years. When they reach the age, they will be dispersed and resettled.

This was a policy that had been implemented during the annihilation of the Six Kingdoms. In the past two years in Guanzhong, Yu Ji had seen many people who were early prisoners of war, and they all lived and worked in peace and contentment.

"I didn't expect that such a benevolent policy would be proposed by the first warrior in China who conquered cities and territories..."

Yu Ji sighed in her heart. After repairing it, she curiously picked up a bundle of slips and looked at them.

The more she looked, the more fascinated she became. After reading bundle after bundle, her beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance.

[Strengthen supervision of officials all over the world, increase penalties, and prevent officials from abusing their power to oppress the people.]

[Modify the restrictions on the people in the Qin Law, increase the collection of business taxes, support the people through business, and cultivate and live with the people.]

[Introducing cotton species from the Western Regions and developing cotton weaving methods to provide the people with high-quality and low-priced things to keep out the cold.]

[Open a school, recruit ordinary people from good families, and select officials from high school, break the power monopoly of aristocratic families, and allow the people to truly escape from the oppression of the old aristocrats. 】

…

Yu Ji suddenly put down the bamboo slips, rushed out of the hut, and stood in the small courtyard, breathing hard and raising her ears.

"One nine makes nine, two ninety-eight, three nine twenty-seven, four nine thirty-six..."

"Studying things leads to knowledge, and studying the principles of all things will lead to the ingenuity of hundreds of craftsmanship..."

"The law is the source of governance; the gentleman is the source of law..."

There was a faint sound of reading in the Hou's Mansion next door, but Yu Ji heard and identified the subjects, including arithmetic, Baigong, and law.

Yu Ji was mesmerized by what she heard, and her heart was extremely shocked.

"Woof woof woof!"

The yellow dog guarding the door suddenly barked loudly.

Yu Ji turned around and looked, but she saw an old man wearing a bamboo hat, carrying a basket and picking up cow and horse excrement outside the door.

However, when she saw the old man's face clearly under the bamboo hat, she couldn't help being stunned and almost laughed out loud!

"Elders, please don't come to my door to pick up bargains. Those cow and horse excrements are also used in my vegetable fields."

Yu Ji pretended to be a fierce little girl and walked out of the courtyard to argue with her.

However, when he got closer, he whispered: "Old General Wang Ben is here in disguise. Do you have any important orders?"

Wang Ben said: "Has Prime Minister Qin ever been happy with you?"

"Never."

Yu Ji's pretty face turned red, and then she explained with a wry smile: "I was left out in the cold last night, I'm afraid I won't be able to change my mind."

Wang Ben frowned and pretended to pick up a few dung balls. After a long while, he said again: "People like Prime Minister Qin are just like your Chu people, Dr. Qu Yuan. Their hearts are resolute and unmoved by external things."

"However, a gentleman can bully him, so you just go along with him, and when he makes you his confidante, everything will fall into place naturally!"

Yu Ji suddenly nodded: "I understand."

Wang Ben didn't stay any longer, gave Yu Ji a few more instructions, and left with satisfaction.

Therefore, Yu Ji, who had two famous generals in the world making suggestions behind her, finally no longer thought about leaving and worked hard for three days in a row without complaining.

And when Qin Mo couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to ask her about her feelings, he put on a fanatical look like "I dare not forget about my country because of my humble position" and shouted that I would donate all my wealth to help Qin Mo open a school.

To be honest, she was really afraid that Qin Mo would agree and take away all her wealth.

Fortunately, this move successfully won Qin Mo's favor, and Qin Mo did not want her property...

However, at this moment.

When Qin Mo mentioned that the Huns invaded the border areas and compared the Huns with South Vietnam, Yu Ji, who was from Chu, really felt the same.

Because she had seen with her own eyes the South Vietnamese barbarians breaking into the Chu land, burning, killing and looting, which was shocking!

"Do you want to lead an army to conquer the Xiongnu?" Yu Ji asked in high spirits.

For the Chinese people, it is their own family business after all.

The word "reject the barbarians" in "respect the king and expel the barbarians" is the general consensus of all Chinese people.

In this era, there is no such thing as the gentleness of Lao Shizi, and there is no reason to say anything to Yi and Di.

If you dare to come, I will dare to go, just to see who is more stubborn!

Qin Mo said ambiguously: "Now that the national treasury is empty, the court is still discussing whether to send troops to conquer."

"I immediately sold off my fine clothes and jewelry and donated money and goods to support our soldiers."

"In addition, I have some good sisters in Xianyang City. I believe they are also willing to help the soldiers on the expedition."

"I will go find them now!"

Yu Ji really wanted to donate money this time. Before Qin Mo could say anything, she picked up the jewelry box and left happily.

Qin Mo watched her disappear and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

This woman is still young and may have a somewhat shallow mind, but she already has her own views on big issues of right and wrong.

It’s no wonder that the future can achieve the heroic and poignant beauty of Farewell My Concubine.

…

At the same time, the main hall of Qin Palace.

While Ying Zheng was reviewing the slips, he was chatting with Wang Jian.

"Three days ago, I took a beautiful concubine into good condition and sent it to Prime Minister Qin to serve her."

"That beautiful concubine is not only beautiful in beauty, but also talented in literature and swordsmanship. She can be said to be both literary and military. I and my ministers also made suggestions for her to help her capture the heart of the Prime Minister of Qin."

"However, since that beautiful lady is keen on gorgeous clothes and beautiful ornaments, Prime Minister Qin will inevitably have to spend a lot of money to support her."

Wang Jian kept talking, his old face was full of the joy of succeeding in his conspiracy, and he seemed to have regained the feeling of strategizing and winning thousands of miles.

Ying Zheng also nodded repeatedly after hearing this, quite satisfied.

It is certainly hateful that the Xiongnu invaded the border areas, but they could just send troops to destroy them, but Qin Mo was the only one who really gave him a big headache.

The majestic Marquis Che of Qin and the Prime Minister lived on overnight meals...

Every time Ying Zheng thinks about it in the past few days, he feels extremely embarrassed. How can I spend my money if I don't have it?

Now that Qin Mo has a beautiful concubine serving him, he must have tasted the taste and can't stop. Even if he doesn't want to be luxurious, how can he have the heart to treat a beautiful woman harshly?

Please give me some recommendation tickets and monthly passes, thank you!
