Chapter 179 Streams
"In the past, I went away, and the willows were Yiyi; now I come to think about it, and it is raining and snowing."

Fusu was wearing a black bearskin cloak, standing on the covered bridge of Zhangtai Palace, this poem rang in his heart inexplicably.

He stretched out his hand and caught a falling snowflake. There was not much snow in the Guanzhong area, but judging from the memos reported by the northern counties in Guanzhong, the further north you go, the stronger the wind and snow will be.

I don't know what happened to the Nine Plains Army that went out of the fortress... Fusu was a little worried. It would be great if there were carrier pigeons on the northern border that could send messages, so that he could know what happened there in the shortest possible time.

But this is something that can't be helped. After all, pigeons are not bred to pass messages in this era.

Instead, they are used to eat meat and collect pigeon dung to fertilize the fields.

According to Zheng Guo, pigeon dung is milder than livestock and human dung and will not burn crops.

The reason why there are so many pigeons near Longxi County and Xianyang City is that they are used for the royal family, um, mainly for Fusu, and the pigeon dung is collected for use in the Zongtian under the jurisdiction of Fengchang Mansion.

The major events of the country are sacrificed to Rong.

This is also the reason why Feng Chang, who is in charge of the Qin State Ancestral Temple, can be ranked first among the Jiuqing.

Fusu saw in last year's accounting document that the annual expenditure of Fengchang Mansion was as high as more than one billion yuan!

Basically accounted for one-sixth of the annual income!

After all, if counting from Qin Feizi's generation, Qin State is a feudal dynasty that lasted for more than 600 years...

As time goes by, the number of ancestors will naturally increase.

As for the Fengchang Mansion, which is in charge of the ancestral temple and the mausoleum, there are more than 500 officials with a salary of more than 400 shi under its name; there are more than 5000 ritual officials who offer various sacrificial tributes on time; the guards guarding the mausoleum There are more than 1 people in total; there are more than [-] musicians who are responsible for playing music when offering offerings; as for the ministers who raise livestock for sacrifices, there is no detailed statistics at all!

Fusu glanced at the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, which was covered by wind and snow in the distance, and made a decision in his heart that might allow that fat man to uncover his coffin.

Build Taimiao!
Imitating the practice of later dynasties, merging the ancestral temples of the ancestors together, and doing sacrifices in one wave!
The shaking of Lishan Mountain was just an illusion...Fu Su wrapped the bearskin cloak around her body tightly, and looked away as if nothing had happened.

"Your Majesty, Lang Zhong ordered Meng Yi to ask for an audience."

"Huh? Why did he come here under such heavy snow?" Fusu looked at Meng Yi who was standing at the other end of the covered bridge, and nodded slightly.

Seeing this situation, Meng Yi came rushing over, bowing to the ground: "Chen, Lang Zhong ordered Meng Yi to meet His Majesty!"

Fu Su waited for him to finish his salute, stepped forward to give him a little support, and said with a smile: "Why don't you stay at home and come to the palace? Could it be that you want to beat my autumn wind? To tell you the truth, I never care about food!"

Meng Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was very grateful in his heart, Fusu's tone of voice was to express his closeness.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to resign." Meng Yi presented a memorial with both hands.

"Why, Lang Zhongling wants to go back to his hometown to work in agriculture when he is in his prime?" Fusu turned his head slightly, and the servant standing beside him immediately stepped forward to take the memorial from Meng Yi's hand.

If he wants to follow the example of Zhao Da in the later generations who released his military power with a glass of wine, Meng Yi, who is in charge of the palace gate guard, can really go home and work in farming as soon as he says this.

But Fusu didn't have this idea, he just made fun of it.

After all, Meng Yi had already talked with Fu Su about his idea of ​​leaving Xianyang and going outside to be a sheriff.

Hearing this, Meng Yi just smiled awkwardly, the resentment between his eyes made Fusu tremble violently.

"I don't know where Lang Zhongling wants to be the sheriff?" Fu Su broke the embarrassment.

Meng Yi thought for a while, and said in a resolute tone: "Nanjun."

"Nanjun?" Fusu was taken aback, "I thought Lang Zhongling wanted to go to Sanchuan County!"

In his thinking, it is natural to let Meng Yi, who has a little military knowledge, guard the east gate of the empire, and let Li You, who is nothing but loyal, go to the rear of Beidi County or Longxi County.

After all, in the original history, Li You guarded Yongqiu, took the lead, and defended desperately. On the fourth day of the fierce battle, he was shot in the arm, but he still insisted on commanding.

In the afternoon, the city wall was breached by the army commanded by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. Li You still led the Qin army to fight in the streets, and until the last moment of his life, he was still fighting for Qin!

Even Xiang Yu, who hated Qin deeply to the bone, was moved by Li You's tragic appearance, and made people send Li You's body back to his hometown Shangcai for burial.

And when Li You died in battle, his father Li Si had already received five punishments and died, and none of the Li family was spared.

This is also one of the reasons why Fusu just pushed Li Si to the end, but did not execute him.

As for another reason.

But in Fusu's view, death is not the greatest punishment for a person.

Let him live, and then see his most cherished things being taken away one by one, is the most painful punishment.

This is what Buddhists call 'can't get what you want'.

What Li Si valued most was the power he possessed, and for this he did not hesitate to betray the trust of the First Emperor.

What Fusu has to do is to take away all the power he has, and then let him still live in Xianyang, living in regret all day long!

As for that stupid Oududou, his lifelong ambition is to "exhaust what the eyes and ears like, and enjoy what the heart desires", so Fusu asked him to guard the imperial tomb, eat vegetarian food every day, and was not allowed to step out of the house without an order. One step at the door!
Of course, the servants serving them and the surrounding guards are all Fusu's eyes and ears.

Every day, several groups of people who are not affiliated with each other will present what they have seen and said to the imperial court.

After so many days of honing, Fusu's acting skills are not bad. He has always done a good job in his love for the veterans of the former court and his love for his younger siblings.

Therefore, Oscar also owes me a statuette... Fusu looked at the snowflakes fluttering in the distance, and thought when would he add some food to his sister.

"Tell me the reason why you gave up going to Sanchuan County and went to South County." Fusu collected his mind and looked at Meng Yi who was looking down at the seam of the covered bridge.

Meng Yi thought for a while, organized his language and said: "I heard that His Majesty sent Hou Feng to Sanchuan County to observe the customs and specialize in rewards."

"Hou Feng is a man, I understand. He has the style of ancient benevolence, but he is not pedantic. The most important thing is that he has always been proud of his ancestors waiting to win, and he is struggling to find a wise king who can serve him."

"So if he goes to Sanchuan County, and Li You is added as the county guard, the officials of Sanchuan County will definitely be boosted! Those who can go up, and those who are mediocre will retreat, then Sanchuan County will be safe."

"But Nanjun is different..."

Fusu frowned slightly. Nanjun was the southern gate of Xianyang. In later generations, Liu Bang entered Wuguan from here, broke through Lantian, went straight to Xianyang, and finally forced Ziying to surrender and destroy Qin.

"Appreciate further details!"
