Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 190 Why is Lu Xiaoniang screaming?
Chen Ping was ready early, and immediately took out the documents upon hearing the words, and handed them over to Gan Luo for inspection and verification.

The handover was completed quickly, and Gan Luo personally wrote an official document for them and stamped the official seal of the Shaofu Order.

Chen Ping and all the candidates felt a big stone in their hearts, but when they wanted to find a famous young prime minister, there was no one there.

"Do you know what Qin Xiang is doing here?"

Gan Luo's voice suddenly sounded beside him. Chen Ping, who was looking around for Qin Mo, subconsciously shook his head and replied, "No..."

Before the people could speak, they stopped and shut up again, because they found that Gan Luo was not talking to them, but was asking the merchants who were recruiting workers.

"I don't know."

The merchants raised their hands and answered.

Gan Luo glared at them, and scolded: "Everyone in the world says merchants are treacherous. I think there is some truth to it. If things go on like this, sooner or later, the imperial court will classify you back to low status."

The merchants were panicked for a moment, unable to speak in silence.

Gan Luo continued and said: "You guys don't have to pretend to be stupid. His Majesty the First Emperor summoned the widows, widows, widows, and disabled people from all over the world to work in the Shaofu workshop, in order to give them a way to survive."

"But when they arrived in Xianyang, you picked them up here!"

"Originally, you can give generous salaries, and they will leave if they are willing. The Shaofu is not willing to force people to stay and block their way of making money. They can support themselves better and contribute financial taxes to the country. His Majesty the First Emperor It's too late to be happy."

"However, in recent days, as more and more widows, widows, widows, and handicapped rushed to Xianyang, the salaries offered by you have dropped again and again, and those treacherous people outside the city have even reduced their salaries to less than half."

"how so?"

"Is it because there are too many people and I don't want to recruit people to do things, so the salary is reduced?"

"I don't think so!"

"I'm afraid it's because you have the evil intentions of cheating, deceiving people from far away that they don't understand the situation in Guanzhong, so you only get one yuan's salary and trick them into doing ten yuan's work, even if they only work for one month and then leave. , transfer to work for those honest merchants, and you will make a lot of money!"

"But... His Majesty the First Emperor has a saying, I don't know if you have heard it... The people are easy to abuse, but the king's law is hard to bully!"

"And Qin Fa has a saying that there is no second price for any businessman or merchant. Those who cheat will be fined, whipped, feet cut off, hands cut off, and their face tattooed..."

puff--
puff--
puff--
Before Gan Luo could finish speaking, the merchants were paralyzed with fright.

Even Chen Ping, all the examinees, and those poor people who were waiting for the Shaofu's arrangement grinned.

But Gan Luo kept on talking: "... the nose, the body, the punishment, the hard labor, the relegation, and the head of the owl!"

He counted all the penalties applicable to profiteers in one breath, and completely frightened the merchants present out of their wits.

Even, a few were incontinent in fright, and the stench permeated!
"However... that is aimed at the price of goods and the wages of craftsmen and craftsmen, but there is no such relevant law, and the court still needs to formulate it."

Gan Luo suddenly turned around and said quietly

Merchants: "..."

The merchants are so happy that they are not crying, if they don’t bring such scary ones, they will really scare people to death.

When you look back, you must buy a new set of Qin Law, and you must buy the new printed version on the market, always keep it in your arms, and look through it when you have nothing to do, so as not to make a deal, put yourself in it first!
"Kong Xian once said: To be punished without teaching is called abuse."

"Therefore, the government will inform you now that I will report to the imperial court later, formulate laws within three days, and promulgate and implement them."

"You wait to go home quickly and reorganize the family property."

Gan Luo looked at the merchants whose complexions were gradually recovering, and waved away the merchants, saying: "After you have rectified the property and the law has been promulgated, you can go to Shanglin Garden when Jie Shier waits, and tell the patrolling soldiers directly that you want to hire me If there are more widows, widows, widows, and handicapped people in the mansion, I will also ask His Majesty the First Emperor to give him the title of righteous businessman, as an example!"

"Thank you, Shaofu Order, for your guidance."

"I'll find out later..."

"Here."

All the merchants were sincerely convinced, bowed their hands and bowed and left.

Gan Luo watched them go away, then turned to Chen Pingping and said: "Do you have time, gentlemen?"

Chen Ping and all the candidates held hands together and replied, "Yes."

Gan Luo nodded, and wrote another note with the pen and ink of the return receipt just now, stamped it with the seal of the Shaofu, and handed it to Chen Pingping humanely: "I don't bother the two masters with one thing. Azusa, send it to the Shaofu Workshop in Shanglin Garden."

"You can take the inner city corridor that goes directly to Shanglinyuan, it's closer!"

Chen Ping: "..."

Candidates: "..."

He thought he was going to invite us to eat and drink as a reward.

The majestic Young Master Qin's Mansion is just like the sheriff of Sanchuan County, but he is so unreasonable that he treats us like postmen!
Gan Luo didn't have the slightest shame to deceive others, and pointed out the entrance of the tunnel to them, and Shi Shiran returned to the Shaofu Yamen.

Chen Ping was speechless, and he could only comfort himself: "It's worth a trip to visit the Shanglin Garden and see the legendary palaces of the Six Kings that were built in imitation of the six kings' palaces."

"Of course, fellow countrymen, let's go to Shanglin Garden..."

So, the team set off again, heading towards the entrance of the corridor.

Chen Ping and others were thinking about what happened just now as they walked, and some examinees couldn't help teasing Chen Ping: "Brother Chen, you have been yelling all day long, and you will be the prime minister in the future, using your Huang-Lao knowledge to govern the country."

"If Daqin followed Huang Lao's policy of inaction and let the people let their lives go their own way, wouldn't those treacherous merchants just now be even more rampant?"

"On the other hand, if we rule the country with legalism and penetrate into all aspects of the people, if something goes wrong, we can change it with the law and make it go on the right path. Wouldn't it be better than Huang Lao's inaction!"

The person who said this was obviously a legalist disciple.

Chen Ping let him belittle Huang Lao, and immediately retorted: "If you don't understand Huang Lao's learning, don't talk about it. The government of inaction is not anarchy, and Huang Lao's study also advocates punishment and morality. Teach in parallel.”

"My county test results are higher than yours, which is the best proof."

"And you Legalists, blindly advocating harsh punishments and strict laws, are just low-level theories that have been drilled into a dead end!"

A debate destined to be fruitless, this is the beginning, and the accompanying widows, widows, widows, and disabled people all listen to the first two big ones.

All the way from Sanchuan County to Xianyang, everything is fine, but these candidates like to quarrel too much, say some incomprehensible words, and often pull them to judge, which is really tormenting.

Hurry up to Shanglinyuan, let us be relieved...

……

……

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

"Aiqing, I shouldn't have bothered you to clean up the martial arts school, but those old coffins... Cough, those old Aiqings are too cruel!"

"When I mentioned that the common people in the world should be exempted from calculations, they agreed wholeheartedly."

"But when I proposed that a certain percentage be spent from the national treasury every year for the royal family's expenses, they desperately lowered the percentage."

"I want five out of a hundred, and I've already suffered a loss, but they kill me and only give one out of a hundred. It's really annoying..."

Ying Zheng gritted his teeth, his face full of indignation, but instead he said helplessly: "I really don't want to argue with them, so I called Ai Qing to discuss a countermeasure."

Qin Mo suddenly smiled again, and chimed in: "The old seniors are indeed going too far."

No wonder it was almost the end of the summer harvest, but Yingzheng's tax exemption edict had not yet been promulgated. It turned out to be a dispute with the officials.

A fierce light flashed in Yingzheng Danfeng's eyes: "It's more than excessive. If I had my temper when I was young, I would have to chop that generation into pieces a hundred times!"

Qin Mo: "..."

These words are very Zulong.

Qin Mo smacked his lips and murmured: "Your Majesty, in fact, you shouldn't have broken up with the courtiers from the very beginning."

"That's their strong point. Your Majesty uses your own weaknesses to attack the other's strengths. How can you win?"

"We should pinpoint their weaknesses, attack their weaknesses, and kill them with one blow!"

Recently, he has been staying in the martial arts hall, somewhat bewildered, opening his mouth to talk about the theory of the art of war.

Ying Zheng stroked his beard and licked it, but he couldn't figure it out. He hesitated and said, "In the eyes of Ai Qing, what are the weaknesses of the court officials?"

Qin Moyan spit out two words concisely: "Shall face~!"

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Haha, that's true, there is one of the ministers in the court who doesn't cherish feathers."

"However... I have to face, how can I use my own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses?"

Well, he thinks he is also a shameless person, especially in the past two years when his reputation has spread far and wide, so he cherishes his face even more.

In front of courtiers, he is a stingy and impatient monarch, which is understandable.

But in the eyes of the people all over the world, he needs to maintain the persona of a virtuous monarch!

After all, no one dares to be disrespectful to the polite people, no one dares to be disobedient to the righteous people, and no one dares to be merciless if he is trustworthy...

The personality of his king is related to the atmosphere of the whole world and cannot be collapsed!

Qin Mo shook his head and smiled, "As long as you can see the enemy's weakness, you will always have a way to deal with it."

"The courtiers want face...then who gave this face?"

"It was given by others! It was given by the world!"

"Now it's time for the summer harvest, and the tax collection will be imminent. Your Majesty can order someone to release the news, intending to exempt the tax, but because the courtiers are fussy, it has never been done."

"When the common people hear about it, they must be anxious, and want His Majesty to issue an edict exempting the calculation of Fu before the summer harvest."

"In this way, His Majesty is standing on the moral high ground, urinating on the heads of the courtiers... suppressing the courtiers."

"In this way, if the courtiers still care about every detail, they will inevitably be criticized by thousands of people!"

Snapped--

Ying Zheng slapped his hands hard, and praised with great joy: "I was blinded by a leaf, and Ai Qing woke me up."

The so-called blindness refers to his dignity as a monarch.

That dignity made him only discuss privately with the courtiers, but he never thought of letting the common people join in and pull the common people to reason for himself.

After all, the ultimate purpose of exempting the calculation of Fu is to increase income for the internal treasury...

But in fact, the biggest beneficiaries of the exemption from counting taxes are the people of the world. If you don't pull the people together, do you expect the courtiers to voluntarily back down?
"By the way, how is Ai Qing reorganizing the martial arts hall?"

Yingzheng lost his mind, and turned to ask about the martial arts academy.

Qin Mo clasped his hands and replied: "In about half a month, the first batch of martial arts students in rotation training will be finished, and there are probably no mistakes..."

"If there are any flaws, the minister is also improving at any time. When the second batch of generals for rotation training enters the school, just follow the steps!"

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, after the first batch of martial arts students graduate, Ai Qing will step down from the position of Zuo Pushe in the martial arts academy."

Qin Mo was waiting for these words, and immediately raised his hands and said, "Here."

Seeing his eagerness, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile, and said earnestly: "After Ai Qing has stepped down from the duties of the martial arts academy, don't want to just think about being happy all day long... Ai Qing also cares about the affairs of the court. Pay more attention, after all, he is the prime minister..."

……

……

Half an hour later, Qin Mo was dizzy from the nagging, and left Xianyang Palace as if fleeing.

However, Ying Zheng tried his best to urge Qin Mo to work hard, but God seemed to want Qin Mo to relax. As soon as he left Xianyang Palace, the sky suddenly turned cloudy, and the heavy rain fell immediately.

After hesitating for [-] seconds, Qin Mo resolutely gave up the idea of ​​going back to Shanglin Garden through the corridor, and went to the newly built villa next to the academy.

Well, the thatched hut that was removed next to the academy has now been rebuilt.

Yu Ji, Lu Zhi, Lu Xiaomei, and Gongsunye's family have also moved in.

As for Qin Mo, since he has been staying in Shanglin Garden, he still doesn't know what the new home will be like!
"My lord, come in..."

The grandson, who was sitting in the porter's room making tea, saw Qin Mo through the glass window, and hurriedly opened the middle door to greet him.

Qin Mo quickly stepped into the door to shelter from the rain, and her husband and grandson took the reins of the sweaty white horse, and helped him take off the rain-soaked cloak, and asked with a smile, "Master, are you done with the martial arts academy?"

"It's not over yet."

Qin Mo looked at the brand-new villa and explained: "Your Majesty called me into the palace today to perform a performance. I just came out of the palace and it happened to be raining. I will go back to the martial arts hall tomorrow..."

"Well, the new home is well built!"

The three-storey villa is built with reinforced concrete, and the doors and windows are also decorated with glass, but it does not show the dullness and coldness of the buildings of later generations.

It is the style of the pre-Qin palace, which looks ancient and heavy, but it is exquisite and meticulous everywhere!

The most amazing thing is that there is a tall water tower behind the house, with thigh-thick copper pipes protruding from the high wall of the Houfu Academy and connected to the water tower...

"A few days ago, a water tower was built in the school hall, and a large water truck was used to store water in it. The water tower in our house is connected to the water tower in the school hall."

"With this water tower, water can be used on the upper and lower floors, which is very convenient!"

Seeing that Qin Mo's eyes were focused on the water tower, her husband, Sun, opened his mouth to explain.

"Ba Shi..."

Qin Mo nodded in admiration, and quickly walked through the rain curtain of the patio in the courtyard and entered the villa.

The old man and grandson went to the stables to house the bloody white horse.

……

In the main hall of the villa, Chengwazi is crawling on the wooden floor and playing with glass balls, and the rhinoceros and yellow dog are also there.

But Yu Ji, Lu Zhi, Lu Xiaomei, and Li Wazi were nowhere to be seen!
"My lord~!"

Taking advantage of the baby's voice, he saluted Qin Mo.

Qin Mo took out a brass whistle used in the training queue of the martial arts hall from his sleeve, stuffed it to him and said, "Hold it and play."

Cheng immediately felt as if he had found a treasure: "Thank you, my lord."

"Good boy... Where are your sister and sister Yuji?"

Qin Mo looked around, and pricked up his ears to listen, but because of the heavy rain outside, he couldn't hear other movements in the villa, so he asked.

Cheng pointed to a back door that opened in the corner of the main hall, and explained a little aggrieved: "They are all playing in the backyard, they won't let me go..."

Qin Mo nodded suddenly, then walked through the hall of the villa to the yard behind the villa.

The yard behind the villa is small, covered with a large glass roof, and under the glass roof is a swimming pool, or a hot spring pool.

The pool water is the natural hot spring water introduced from the Houfu Academy!

Concubine Yu, Yuan Man, and Lu Zhi were soaking in the hot spring wearing light gauze clothes, with sliced ​​cucumbers on their faces and eyes, feeling very comfortable in the steaming mist.

In this scene, it's no wonder that Chengwazi is not allowed to come in, otherwise he would have to make him cry...

"Gudu~!"

Qin Mo swallowed hard to show his respect, but before he could make another move, two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly rushed out of the cabin next to the hot spring pool.

It was Lu Xiaomei and Liwazi!
"Huh, let's steam people..."

Lu Xiaomei was flushed all over, panting heavily.

Then, she saw Qin Mo, and the two looked at each other!

Qin Mo grinned, thinking something was wrong.

Lu Xiaomei's big eyes gradually widened, and her skin, which was already red from steaming in the sauna, instantly became redder with blood, and her whole body was like a boiled shrimp.

call--

Qin Mo's figure flickered, like a gust of wind, he retreated into the villa, and gently closed the door, as if he had never appeared before.

However, doing so is tantamount to deceiving oneself and others, and the scream of Lu Xiaomei resounded in the backyard: "Ah, shameless thief~!!!"

The three daughters, Yu Ji, Yuan Man and Lu Zhi, were almost scared by her voice and slipped into the water, and hurriedly peeled off the cucumber slices from their eyes.

"what's wrong?"

"Where are there thieves?"

"You want to scare people to death..."

While pulling the bathrobes around their bodies, the three women looked around and even looked at the glass ceiling above their heads.

However, the shameless thief Lu Xiaomei spoke of was not found.

Lu Xiaomei pointed at the wooden door leading to the villa, and said angrily, "It's Junhou, he was peeping at us... I found out and ran away... You can ask Liwazi if you don't believe me!"

As she spoke, she turned and pointed to Li behind her.

The third daughter followed her finger to look at Li, and asked, "Are you a gentleman?"

Lihong's little face was full of bewilderment, she was behind Xiaomei Lu, covered by her two long legs, she couldn't see anything at all.

So, she shook her little head and said, "I didn't see the lord."

Lu Xiaomei's face was full of doubts, and she seemed to doubt herself, whether she was hallucinating: "How could I not see... such a big living person..."

Lu Zhi put on his bathrobe and said, "If you're a gentleman, you'll be outside, just look around and you'll know!"

This made sense, so Miss Lu hurriedly put on her bathrobe, and followed her second sister to the villa to check.

……

In the main hall of the villa, Cheng Wazi had a brass whistle in his mouth, bragging in the middle of his breath, causing yellow dogs and rhinos to roll, and kicking if they didn't roll.

But they are training them!
And through the open door of the villa, you can see your husband, grandson, limping into the villa in the rain. After seeing the sisters of the Lu family, he asked anxiously, "Why is Xiaoniang Lu screaming?"

Lu Xiaomei: "Uh..."

She was really suspicious of life.

Could it be because of the last time that he fell into a psychological shadow?

Lu Zhi glanced at the dazed younger sister, smiled and said to her husband, "It's okay, this girl just likes to do whatever she wants."

"It's fine if nothing happens, it's fine if nothing happens."

Husband Sun breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to the concierge while muttering.

Lu Pheasant turned around and rewarded Lu Xiaomei with a slap in the face: "Crack, it scared me out of wrinkles, go back and cut cucumber slices for me~!"

"Know it."

Lu Xiaomei clutched her forehead and let out a resentful agreement, then hurriedly went back to the backyard.

Lu Pheasant followed behind and also walked towards the backyard, but within two steps, he was suddenly taken aback, looking down at the wooden floor under his feet.

A series of wet shoe prints should not be too conspicuous!

Lu Zhi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned to look at Cheng, who was playing alone, and turned his mature and charming face, revealing the appearance of a shrew, and said, "Child Cheng, did your master come back just now?"

Cheng Wazi shrank his neck in fright, with a copper whistle in his mouth, he said weakly: "No...shh..."

Lu Zhi looked at the copper whistle in his mouth: "Where did you get this copper whistle?"

After all, Cheng Wazi was young and didn't know how to lie, so he could only bury his head in silence.

Seeing his small appearance, Lu Zhi already understood everything in his heart.

Little sister didn't lie!

Qin Mo did come back!
In other words, that heartless scumbag really saw his sister-in-law...

……

……

At the same time, on the corridor leading to Shanglin Garden, Qin Mo was galloping his horse.

The corridor in Qin Dynasty was a kind of road with military function, with walls built on both sides and a roof on it.

Once it is built, only a small number of people are needed to patrol it, and it can hide outsiders from prying eyes. If you walk in it, outsiders may want to play tricks, and they will not be able to figure out where you have walked.

According to historical records, during the Battle of Julu, Zhang Han once built tunnels to transport food and supply 40 Qin troops. It could not only prevent the enemy from spying, but also protect the rain and reduce losses, but it was finally destroyed by Xiang Yu...

In short, this tunnel can shelter from the wind and rain, and can also prevent outsiders from prying. It is the first choice of the Qin emperors of all dynasties when they travel between Xianyang Palace and Shanglin Garden!
At this time, it was raining heavily outside, and Qin Mo galloped his horse in it, but he couldn't get wet.

The sweaty white horse traveled quickly, halfway through in the blink of an eye, and entered the range of Shanglinyuan, but the paradox was that there was a traffic jam ahead.

"Wow~!"

Qin Mole stopped sweating the bloody white horse.

However, when the people blocking the road saw Qin Mo, they hurriedly saluted: "Greetings, Prime Minister Qin."

Qin Mo has a good memory, and he has already recognized that this group of old women and children blocking the road were sent by Sanchuan County to enter the Shaofu workshop.

I saw it outside the Shaofu government office before!
Qin Mo looked around, but he didn't see anyone from the Shaofu escorting him. On the contrary, the examinees were still there, so he knew that Gan Luo was being lazy.

"Exemption."

Qin Mo got off his horse and helped an old woman with a handicap onto the horse's back.

This action made the old woman terrified: "Your Majesty Qin can't...how can ordinary people use Prime Minister Qin's BMW to travel..."

Qin Mo ignored her, but continued to help the horses with a few legs and feet to get on, until the sweaty horse could no longer bear it.

In the end, he carried another one on his back, and said to the examinees: "What are you waiting for, carry the one with limited mobility on your back, and continue your journey, otherwise it will be dark."

Chen Ping recovered from his bewilderment, hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Here."

Afterwards, each carried a person with slower pace on their backs, and continued to lead the team to set off.
