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

Chapter 79 I have to say, it’s really exciting!

After Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, he quickly opened his mouth and released Yuan Man's jade finger.

But Yuan Man didn't seem to have any intention of withdrawing his hand. Although his pretty face was slightly red, he glanced at Yu Ji who was making tea.

Then, the jade fingers dyed with bright cinnamon didn't retreat but poked in, scratching the tip of Qin Mo's tongue with his red nails.

Qin Mo shuddered and his eyes suddenly widened: "!!!"

Yuan Man bit her red lips and responded with her charming eyes. Sister Yu's charm was clearly revealed, she was simply... so sexy.

"???"

Qin Mo shuddered again, his mind almost shutting down.

What the hell, what the hell is going on?

Is this not a fake princess being impersonated?

Even Yu Ji’s good sisters who entertain people with sex are not so passionate!

When Qin Mo's scalp was numb, Yuan Man suddenly took away his jade fingers and the imperial sister style that made people's eyes shattered. In an instant, she regained her solemn appearance and returned to the appearance of a well-mannered eldest princess.

At the same time, Yu Ji's respectful voice came from behind the two of them: "Eldest Princess, please have some tea."

Qin Mo felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt for almost being caught in an act of rape. He squinted his eyes in confusion and continued to pretend to be asleep.

"For those who are willing to pay a visit."

Yuan Man thanked him and sipped the tea, then twisted a peanut and slowly put it into his red lips, sucking his jade finger as if unintentionally.

That jade finger was the one that scratched the tip of Qin Mo's tongue just now!

Qin Mo: "..."

Qin Mo's three views were completely shattered, in a shredded way.

It is true that Yuan Man is not a gentle woman in his heart.

After all, the woman who dared to kick Hu Hai's butt and secretly threatened him, and even wanted to sneak in and kick Qin Mo, was probably rebellious at heart.

But at this time, Yuan Man was far more than just rebellious!

Even if women in this pre-Qin era don't talk about women's virtues, at least they still have some protection against men and women.

Especially for a royal lady, who looks like this in private, does she have any serious illness?

"Ahem..."

Qin Mo couldn't bear it any longer, he coughed twice and pretended to wake up. He looked at Yuan Man speechlessly and said, "Princess, do you like to eat peanuts without shelling them?"

"..."

Yuan Man was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the peanuts he put in his mouth were not shelled. He was immediately embarrassed and spit out, "I was just drinking tea, but I didn't pay attention."

Yu Ji couldn't help laughing next to her. Due to her status as the eldest princess, she could only lower her head and suppress her laughter, causing her shoulders to shake.

Qin Mo did not expose Yuan Man, but said meaningfully: "Eldest princess, you don't have to be cautious, just be normal."

Yuan Man's pretty face turned slightly red, she lowered her head and responded in shock, but she didn't look like she was seriously ill at all.

Qin Mo couldn't understand her gentle tone. He smacked his lips and said, "It's not enough to eat just peanuts. It's time to have lunch. I'll make it..."

"Gentleman, please take a rest and sit with the eldest princess for a while, and then I will prepare the meal."

Yu Ji stopped Qin Mo who was about to get up, and hurriedly went to the kitchen again.

She has been following Qin Mo for many years, and now she has learned the cooking skills, and she can make every meal at her fingertips.

Qin Mo watched her get into the kitchen, feeling increasingly satisfied with this little daughter-in-law.

"Prime Minister Qin, are you eating peanuts~!"

Yuan Man's soft voice sounded in his ears, and a shelled peanut was handed to Qin Mo's mouth.

Qin Mo turned around and looked blank.

Because, Yuan Man's beautiful eyes are like hooks, but they have returned to their old ways.

"Ah, open your mouth!"

When Yuan Man saw that he was sluggish, he couldn't help but be charming and scolded him, and forcefully stuffed peanut kernels into his mouth.

Qin Mo chewed helplessly and couldn't help but glance at the kitchen. He felt inexplicably guilty and said: "Elder Princess, you are so..."

Yuan Man interrupted the conversation and asked: "Is it delicious?"

Qin Mo nodded: "I am flattered."

Yuan Man smiled and said: "It's the peanut I just spit out."

Qin Mo: "Pfft..."

…

…

After Qin Mo stayed in Wancheng for half a month, his body had generally recovered, and he finally waited for his successor generals and county officials.

It is worth mentioning that the county guard is an acquaintance, the eldest son of Tingwei Li Si, Li You!

"Meet Prime Minister Qin."

Li Youzhi was very respectful and greeted Qin Mo calmly, which made people fall in love with him as soon as they saw him.

Qin Mo secretly praised the young talent. Compared to his underage playboy brother, Li You was undoubtedly more fatherly.

Even better!

"Li Tingwei has someone to succeed him."

Qin Mo praised him and took out the governor's seal and handed it to Li You.

Li You solemnly took it with both hands and said with shame: "Qin Xiang was so complimentary!"

Qin Mo waved his hand and said with a smile: "The truth is, this is not a ridiculous compliment."

"You are so young and have already been appointed as the chief official of a county. You have a promising future and your achievements will be no less than that of Li Tingwei."

Li You had a strange expression. He glanced at Qin Mo's clean face, then touched his short beard, and said quietly: "Qin is younger than You, but he is already a highly decorated military lord, the lord of Hexi, and the prime minister of Qin."

"And because, even though Chi is a few years older, he is only the guardian of a county. He doesn't know when and what month he will be able to become an official in the central government!"

Qin Mo: "..."

This is so damn, speechless!

Qin Mo touched his face and considered whether he should also start growing a beard, and said: "The Prime Minister and the eldest princess are about to set off to follow His Majesty. We will see you later, Commander Li."

"Farewell to the eldest princess, Prime Minister Qin."

Li You led a group of successor county officials and sent Qin Mo, Yuan Man and his entourage out of the county governor's office.

Outside the door, there was a guard of honor in a car, who had been waiting for a long time.

Qin Mo boarded his five-horse carriage, opened the window and said to Li You and the officials: "Gentlemen, there is no need to go out of the city to see him off. You can just be busy with your official duties."

"Here!"

Li You took the lead, and all the officials bowed their hands.

Qin Mo knocked on the wall of the carriage and signaled Gongsun Ye, who was driving outside, to start his journey.

Snapped--

Gongsunye whipped his horse whip and the chariot drove forward slowly.

But at this time, Qin Mo suddenly leaned out of the car window, pointed at the skulls stacked in front of the Yamen, and said to Li You and other officials: "Your salary is your salary, and the people support the people. The subordinates are easy to abuse, and the king's law is difficult to bully.

Just take care of yourself!"

A chill ran down everyone's spine, and they couldn't help grinning. They bowed their hands in silence and watched the team go away.

Qin Mo also retreated into the car, yawned, and was about to lie down to sleep.

Yu Ji served him and took off her cloak, wondering: "Why does a gentleman become less energetic the more he cultivates himself?"

Qin Mo's eyes suddenly started to look weak, and he said nonchalantly: "I haven't been able to sleep well these past few days."

Yu Ji did not doubt that he was there, so she turned around and said: "The eldest princess made an appointment with a servant, and asked the servant to take the gentleman to her car to play mahjong for entertainment along the way. It seems that she is going to break the appointment."

Qin Mo trembled and quickly covered himself with a blanket: "We'll talk about it when we wake up."

He was afraid of that annoying goblin.

During these days in Wancheng, if Qin Mo hadn't been rational, something might have happened.

Still carrying Yu Ji’s back, it’s so guilt-ridden.

But, I have to say, the excitement is really exciting... If this continues, a certain scumbag will really fall.

…

…

Five days later, Qin Mo and Yuan Man's chariots caught up with Ying Zheng's patrolling chariots at the boundary of Bowang County.

Because Ying Zheng and Baiguan were going around various counties and villages in Nanyang to publicly try the offending officials, they didn't go very far from the beginning to the end.

When the two teams met, Ying Zheng had just held a public trial of some offending officials in Bowang County, and countless people followed him to see him off.

Even some people from the countryside came from far away just to pay their respects to the emperor. Wherever Ying Zheng passed by the emperor, people were shouting "the emperor is wise".

Obviously, the public trial of criminals made Ying Zheng win the hearts of the people!

At least the hearts of the people of Nanyang County are towards Ying Zheng at the moment, and they will also be supporters of Qin Zhi in the next few decades.

"My dear, how do you feel about this scene?"

In the Yuyu car, Ying Zheng pointed through the car window at the people who were far away from them by the imperial guards, and said to Qin Mo with some pride.

Qin Mo clasped his hands and said: "Of course it's to boost your morale. The rule of Great Qin has become more and more stable."

This was what Ying Zheng was waiting for. He immediately stroked his beard and laughed. After a while, he stopped and said: "If future generations can ensure that the officials are clean and honest, the Great Qin Dynasty will not be unstoppable for hundreds of generations, or even for eternity!"

He felt as if he had gained enlightenment and found the eternal law of lasting peace and stability.

Qin Mo naturally agreed: "What your Majesty said is true. What the people want is nothing more than food and clothing, and not being wantonly oppressed. And the first condition for this is that the officials govern the country in a clear and transparent manner."

"For the rest, even if the old tribes of the Six Kingdoms are restored together, even if the floods of the Great Desolation occur again, as long as the officials of Qin Dynasty govern the Qingming Dynasty, the people can defeat all natural and man-made disasters under the leadership of the court!"

After hearing his summary, Ying Zheng laughed again, but even more happily.

However, after he stopped laughing, he turned around and asked Qin Mo: "Do you know, my dear, why are these people of great hope so eager to come not far away to see me off?"

"I also publicly tried the criminals in Wancheng, so why are they not so respected and loved?"

Qin Mo pondered, he was really confused by the question, and he hesitated for a while and said: "Is it possible that there is a wise minister who has provided good advice to His Majesty?"

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded and said: "He is indeed a virtuous minister. He said a motto and used it during my public trial, so the people all love me."

Qin Mo became more and more curious: "What motto? It can be so effective!"

Ying Zheng stroked his beard and said leisurely: "Your salary is your salary, and the people anoint the people. The people are easy to abuse, but the king's law is hard to bully!"

Qin Mo suddenly laughed, clasped his hands and said: "From now on, this motto will be initiated by His Majesty."

"Your Majesty said, Bichen said, it is thousands of times more effective!"

Ying Zheng immediately waved his hand, pretending to be displeased and said: "How can I take away the motto of loving you? No, absolutely no."

When Qin Mo saw his appearance, he knew that he was moved, so he said: "If your Majesty feels that something is wrong, you can borrow the 100,000 foreign slave laborers from the imperial mausoleum for a few more years."

"I want to build a straight road through the Hexi Kingdom and continue the straight road inside the fortress. In this way, merchants can take a convenient straight road to the outside of the territory when they leave the fortress!"

Ying Zheng hesitated: "..."

It's so honest and rude of you to be a coward.

You borrow it for years and years, and by the time you've used it enough, you'll probably be dead.

Is my imperial mausoleum still under repair?

Seeing his hesitation, Qin Mo said: "If not, your Majesty will allocate some financial support from the inner treasury, and I will think of my own way..."

When Ying Zheng heard the word "neiku", his thick eyebrows trembled involuntarily. He immediately raised his hand to interrupt him and said righteously: "The imperial mausoleum has 100,000 foreign slave laborers. I love you, you can use it as you like, and you can return it to me after the road is repaired."

"

Qin Mo smiled and bowed his hands in thanks: "In this way, I would like to thank Your Majesty. That motto was initiated by Your Majesty!"

…

…

Ying Zheng tasted the sweetness brought by public trials of criminals, and worked even harder.

After the Nanyang County and Township officials finished dealing with the situation, they were no longer in a hurry to go south. Instead, they asked the imperial driver to go east to the neighboring Yingchuan County.

He seems to want to explore the counties of Chu, and finally go to the southern border of Chu to deal with Baiyue, which is in turmoil!

The people of Yingchuan County rejoiced and spontaneously welcomed Ying Zheng's patrolling chariot.

Because after preparation and spread, the people of Yingchuan County already know what Ying Zheng did in Nanyang County.

If we can do this once in Yingchuan County, the officials will be much more honest in the next few years, and the people's lives will be much easier!

But the people were happy, and the officials in Yingchuan County were cursing in their hearts.

Everyone was trembling with fear, fearing that any mistakes would be discovered, but they still had to put on a happy face to welcome Ying Zheng's patrolling chariot.

In order to win the hearts and minds of the people, even though no mistakes were found in the places he visited and officials were given high-level evaluations, Ying Zheng still had to summon the people in the end and let the officials conduct a self-examination and state their political strategies.

At the end of the day, he summarized his speech and warned the officials: "Your salary is your salary, and the people are anointed by the people. It is easy for the people to be abused, and the king's law is difficult to deceive. Please take care of yourself!"

Whenever these words are spoken, they will always win wild cheers from the people no matter where they are.

As a result, the people of Yingchuan County also fell. They patrolled the places where the emperor passed by, attracting the people to help the old and bring the young to pay their respects. It was an unprecedented grand occasion!

Ying Zheng was like an evil dragon that couldn't get enough to eat, swallowing the hearts of the people of Yingchuan County, and then rushed to the neighboring Sishui County impatiently.

On this day, the patrolling imperial chariot was traveling on the desolate ancient road. It was rare that there were no common people accompanying him. Ying Zheng was no longer bored in the jade car. He mounted his royal horse, straddled his back with arrows, and hunted wild beasts with the officials.

Qin Mozi was not absent either. He hunted numerous pheasants, hares, and even a rare rhino in the morning.

"Ai Qing is really good at shooting. He was able to shoot an arrow into the eye of this cow from a hundred steps away."

Ying Zheng stroked the huge rhinoceros carcass and exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Mo is a descendant after all. Looking at the rhinoceros carcass, he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart: "These exotic beasts are becoming more and more rare. If you hunt one, you will lose one, and they may become extinct in the future."

Ying Zheng and Baiguan looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say.

This pre-Qin era was still barbaric, and humans and wild beasts were competing for survival space. If they were not hunted down, would they be left behind to harm the people?

After a while, one of the officials said, "Since Prime Minister Qin didn't want to hunt this cow, why did he shoot it with an arrow just now?"

Qin Mo smiled bitterly and said: "It was lurking in the swamp. I thought it was an earth dragon that hurt people."

The so-called earth dragon is a crocodile, also known as a crocodile by the locals.

In later generations, that thing was like a rhinoceros and could only be seen in zoos, but in the Chu land of this era, it was not a rare thing.

Not to mention they are everywhere, but there are also a huge number of them.

From time to time, people's livestock are attacked by crocodiles. They are harmful beasts!

"Moo-!"

While everyone was sighing at Qin Mo's strange compassion, a cow's braying suddenly sounded in the water beside them.

When all the officials heard this, they were shocked and drew their bows and swords one after another to protect Ying Zheng and retreat away from the water.

Qin Mo also nocked his bow and nocked an arrow, looking for the sound and was about to fire an arrow. But when he saw clearly that the rhinoceros making the cry was just a cub, he quickly stopped his bow and retracted his arrow.

At the same time, he said to the overly nervous people: "Don't hurt it."

Ying Zheng pushed the officials away, looked at the rhinoceros calf, and sighed, "I'm afraid it's just a few days old. Even if I don't kill it, it's hard to live alone."

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, then jumped into the water and picked up the rhino cub: "Just adopt it!"
