Martial arts crossing begins with the story of looking for Qin

Chapter 61
Abolishing Fenfeng, running prefectures and counties, setting up 36 prefectures in the world, with Xianyang as the capital.Make books with the same text, cars with the same track, unified currency, unified weights and measures.Continue to pursue the rule of law, implement the system of Sangong and Jiuqing, and reward civil and military officials.

Xiang Shaolong made great contributions, the First Emperor thought twice and made Xiang Shaolong King of Jin.

Xiang Shaolong was very surprised, Yiziwang is the prince, and "Jin, Qin, Qi, Chu" are the most honored, and he is not a royal family, how can he get this honor?
The First Emperor told Xiang Shaolong in a very cryptic way, from the time he rescued him back to Qin, to the pacification of the Xiongnu and the destruction of the six kingdoms, Xiang Shaolong's contribution was too great, and there was no reward for him, and he was named king because Xiang Shaolong had no heirs In the future, no one will be eligible to inherit his title, that is to say, this "King Jin" will not have another title after he dies.It's like warning Xiang Shaolong in a disguised form that if he wants to be the "King of Jin" well, it's best not to think about having a son so that he can inherit his title in the future.

Fortunately, Xiang Shaolong doesn't care much about such things as being extinct. If he cared, he is 42 years old now, and he has already adopted a child.

After being crowned Queen of Jin, Xiang Shaolong no longer interfered in the army, and devoted himself to being his own prime minister.Put all your energy on developing the economy and reforming the official system.

In fact, Xiang Shaolong is not a capable civil servant, he knows many things about the system but doesn't know why, if he is really asked to do it himself, he must be in a mess.Fortunately, with more than 2000 years of experience, as long as you tell what you know, as for the pros and cons of it, someone will naturally distinguish it for him.Moreover, he has always adhered to the principle of small-scale experiments first, doing a good job of research, using data to speak, discovering problems, solving problems, and then promoting them on a large scale after perfection.

Xiang Shaolong's chancellor is not very clever, he only knows that "if you want to get rich, you must first build roads", so he made a big effort to build infrastructure and build roads everywhere.In order to conquer Baiyue in the south, the Lingqu canal connecting the Xiangshui River and Lishui River was dug.Li Bing, who built Dujiangyan, is dead, but Zheng Guo, the chief architect who built Zhengguo Canal, is still alive.Zheng Guoqu has been built for many years and has also trained many water conservancy engineering experts.The construction of the Lingqu Canal is going smoothly, the channel is [-]%, and the materials can be continuously delivered to Baiyue.

Xiang Shaolong's infrastructure construction is very powerful, but he does not enslave the people, but relies on recruiting workers and paying wages.

Daqin has a vast territory, and there will be some famines every year, such as drought, flood, or locust plague, and the people will suffer.Xiang Shaolong's disaster relief method is to use work as relief, recruit a large number of migrant workers, and personally supervise the distribution of money and food, most afraid of corruption here, stirring up civil uprisings.

Fortunately, after years of operation, the court has become rich and the country has been developing smoothly.

Wang Jian fought for many years. Because of his military achievements, he was granted the title of Marquis of Wu Cheng. After the unification of the world, he began to live in seclusion and seldom paid attention to the affairs of the court.

With Xiang Shaolong turning to civil servants and Wang Jian ignoring government affairs, Meng Tian gradually became the number one brother in the army.

Xiang Shaolong has been strengthening trade with the land of Baiyue, passing on the culture and prosperity of the Central Plains to the Baiyue people, letting them know their backwardness and barbarism, providing convenience for the Baiyue people to walk out of the mountains, and abducting many Baiyue people to Central Plains.

After recuperating for five years, in 224 BC, the First Emperor took Yang Duanhe as his commander, General Tu Sui as his deputy, Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao as vanguards, and raised 50 troops to attack Baiyue.

Sufficient supplies, excellent equipment, and well-trained soldiers pacified Baiyue in one fell swoop, and established three counties: Nanhai County, Guilin County, and Xiang County.

The first emperor ordered the soldiers who marched into Lingnan to stay in the local area to "garrison", and immigrated to Lingnan in large numbers, and implemented the ethnic policy of "harmony and collection of Baiyue" to promote ethnic integration.

Meng Tian led his younger brother Meng Yi, Wang Jian's son Wang Ben, and the young general Li Xin to send troops to the northwest, open up the Hexi Corridor, destroy Yuezhi, Wusun, Loulan and other countries, and expand the territory to the Western Regions.

In 221 B.C., Xiang Shaolong was 50 years old. He felt that he had already said everything he had learned, and that he was rather boring, so he resigned from office to Emperor Shihuang.

The First Emperor was very surprised, these years Xiang Shaolong strictly abided by his duties and never exceeded his authority, he also had no suspicion, the national power of the Great Qin was flourishing, and Xiang Shaolong, a prime minister, did a good job, why did he suddenly want to resign?

The First Emperor asked: "Prime Minister, you are in the prime of life, and I have never suspected you. Why did you resign?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty, you also understand me. Ever since I was the Prime Minister of the Left, I have not been very competent and not a good and diligent official. Now I have said everything I can think of. As for the specific implementation, I will I'm not good at it, I always feel that I'm a vegetarian, and I'm sorry for the salary I get. And this Cheng is quite, too much, and I don't have freedom. I am so rich, I should enjoy life, and I don't want to be so tired. The world is so big, I want to see it .”

The First Emperor was very confused, this reason was very strong, and he wanted to persuade him to stay, but Xiang Shaolong insisted on resigning, and finally asked: "Then who do you think is the best to succeed you?"

This really wasn't a test, but he never thought that Xiang Shaolong would resign, he was really caught off guard.

Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty, there are many talents in my Great Qin Dynasty, and there are many people who can succeed me. As for who to choose, it depends on your Majesty's will." He refused to give his own opinion.

In the end, Li Si took over the position of prime minister.

The First Emperor asked Xiang Shaolong: "What is King Jin's plan for the future?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "My Daqin territory is vast and the mountains and rivers are magnificent, unprecedented. I want to take a tour first. Although I have been to many places before, they were mostly on business, and I didn't go around as I wanted."

The first emperor thought for a while, and said: "I gave you the sword of Shangfang, and you can walk among the people for me to see how the people live, how the officials are, and see what problems there are. I don't care where you go or how long you go. , Come back and talk to me. Sigh, I am a little envious of your freedom."

Influenced by Xiang Shaolong, Emperor Shi Huang attached great importance to the common people and cared about their livelihood.

Xiang Shaolong was unofficial and light, took his beautiful wife and concubine, left Xianyang, and began to travel around the mountains and rivers.As the king of Jin, he has a noble status. This time he traveled on behalf of Tian Xunhun, so he never revealed his identity, and played a private visit in a micro-service.

Nature without industrial pollution is incomparably beautiful. Xiang Shaolong's love for this kind of beauty puzzles people around him, because they have never seen what is called "smog", and how can they understand what is environmental pollution.

Xiang Shaolong stopped and walked all the way, walking very slowly and aimlessly.

On this day, I went to Shu County and came to the world-famous Dujiangyan.

Xiang Shaolong visited Dujiangyan in the 21st century, but it was not called Dujiangyan at this time, it was called Jianyan, and it was far less spectacular than later generations. However, in this era, it is also the first-class project in the world. With the current level of productivity, It can be called a work of good fortune and uncanny workmanship.

Standing on the dam, Xiang Shaolong admired the wisdom of the ancients. At this time, we should be ahead of the world.The people who grew up on this land have always been the smartest and hardest-working people in the world, and I really hope they can keep leading.

Xiang Shaolong accidentally ran into someone he had forgotten in Shu County, Lu Buwei's son-in-law—Guan Zhongxie.

Both of them have outstanding figures, they stand out from the crowd like chickens, and no one can ignore the other.

Guan Zhongxie was also shocked when he saw Xiang Shaolong, and there was no way he could avoid it when they met on the street.Guan Zhongxie could only go forward to pay respects, feeling uneasy, afraid of some disaster.

Xiang Shaolong didn't expect to meet him either, he was followed by a young man, but he was only slightly taken aback, and Guan Zhongxie stepped forward to salute him, calling him "King Jin", and was about to bow down.

Xiang Shaolong stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: "Brother Guan, you don't need to be too polite. You've been away for nearly 20 years, so you'll be fine. Why are you here? How is Lu Xiangye? This is not a place to talk, let's find a place to sit Let's chat."

In a restaurant, after the two sat down, Guan Zhongxie said: "I really didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness Jin Wang. Father-in-law has been dead for many years."

This was also expected by Xiang Shaolong, so he was not surprised, and asked: "I remember you went to Henan, why did you come to Shu?"

Guan Zhongxie said: "Later, the emperor ordered us to go to Shu. My father-in-law was old and didn't want the bumpy road, so he committed suicide by drinking poison. I brought my wife and family and moved here. I don't know why His Royal Highness King Jin came here... ..."

Xiang Shaolong sighed secretly: "I will never die!"

Xiang Shaolong said: "You don't need to be nervous, I didn't know you were here, and I didn't come here for you. I was a rare freedom after resigning from office, so I came out to play, and I just got off the mountain, I didn't expect to meet you. "

Guan Zhongxie thought he had heard wrongly, the current prime minister, the head of all officials, unexpectedly resigned.In order to climb up, those of us used all means, but Xiang Shaolong gave up the power he got. Could it be that he was dismissed?

Da Qin's prime minister is not so easy to be, Lu Buwei is like this, Xiang Shaolong is probably the same.

But judging by his expression, he is indeed not lonely, he looks at ease, but these are not things that he can get to the bottom of.It is enough for me to keep my life these years, and the lofty ambitions of those years are long gone.

It was only then that Xiang Shaolong noticed that the boy next to him was about ten years old, but he was much taller and stronger than his peers. The most important thing was that he had double pupils.

Xiang Shaolong's heart moved, but he remained calm, he just asked indifferently: "Is this your son?"

Guan Zhongxie said: "No, this is a student I just recruited not long ago. He is practicing swordsmanship with me casually. His name is Xiang Ji."

Xiang Shaolong's heart trembled violently: "The Overlord of Western Chu!"

But he still asked the child lightly: "Oh, where are you from? How long have you been studying with your master?"

Xiang Ji's eyes were piercing, he stared at Xiang Shaolong and said, "I come from Kuaiji, and I just studied with Master for more than a year."

Xiang Shaolong said: "The Kuaiji is far away from here, how could you come to such a far place to learn art?"

Guan Zhongxie was afraid that Xiang Shaolong would think too much, thinking that he was dishonest in Sichuan, that he could hook up with people so far away, and he was restless, so he hurriedly said, "It's just because of my master's reputation. My master sees Zhai At that time, he was as famous as the sword master Cao Qiudao. Cao Qiudao was beheaded by His Royal Highness King Jin, and his disciples didn’t get any true biography. The kid’s uncle heard that I was here, so he sent him to learn art. I think this The child has good qualifications, so I accepted it."
