my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 266 The First Emperor: Sun, You Are the Instigator

little mouse?

Zhang Liang looked at the chubby little girl in front of him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he nodded very cooperatively.

"Won't……"

Zhao Xi immediately became happy and looked at Zhang Liang expectantly.

"Have you seen my cauldron?"

"The eldest grandson of the emperor has gone out, he should have gone to the palace..."

Seeing the little girl walking away with her mouth pursed in disappointment, Zhang Liang still thought that this little girl was quite cute. Then, he saw this cute little girl, bowed down, and put the door on his door. A stone lock weighing more than 50 kilograms was picked up and taken away.

When walking, he threw it up a few times, probably because he thought it was fun, and laughed like a silver bell...

Zhang Liang was stunned!

It was the stone lock that his guards used to beat their bodies, it weighed more than 50 kilograms, and even a few strong men struggled to play with it.

Then, the silly and cute little girl in front of her, treated her like a toy and let her go...

What kind of monsters are the emperor's eldest grandson's family!

Zhang Liang suddenly felt that in the past, he used to practice martial arts every day, which was actually meaningless.It's not good to make trouble, after a while, even a little girl can't be beaten.

Do you believe it?
Zhao Ying also didn't know that Emperor Shihuang and Concubine Zheng didn't have any effect from practicing, and his wives and concubines didn't have much effect. On the contrary, it was his stupid and cute little sister who liked to cling to him every day. Such an effect.

He walked into the palace with ease.

Royal Garden.

Seeing that Emperor Shi Huang didn't practice Tai Chi, instead, he and Concubine Zheng, with their sleeves rolled up, were happily tidying up their vegetable garden, and couldn't help pinching their brows helplessly.

"Father, Mother—"

Hearing Zhao Ying's voice, Emperor Shi Huang laughed a little guilty.

"Ying'er, come and take a look, this grape has grown new leaves..."

Zhao Ying: ...

Do it again!
Ignored him, and walked over with a dark face.

"Father, why haven't you practiced Taijiquan? This kind of health-preserving exercise can only be effective if you persevere. If you take care of your body, it is no better than anything else..."

The first emperor is like a child who has done something wrong.

"Okay, okay, okay, I got it, I got it, I must practice next time, I must practice next time..."

Zhao Ying was very helpless.

Father, your old man said the same thing last time.

But when I look back, whether I should practice or not, and I can't be pulled over and beaten like a child, this is very helpless.

"The body is the capital..."

Forget it.

Zhao Ying pulls the starting emperor and concubine Zheng.

"Don't do it next time, start today—"

The First Emperor and Concubine Zheng: ...

He obediently followed his grandson to practice Tai Chi.

This child, for the sake of his own health, has really broken his heart. He is many times stronger than his group of stupid sons and daughters. He can't let the child's filial piety be discouraged.

The guards and maids in the distance looked up at the sky one by one, pretending not to see the scene in front of them, while Hei couldn't help but slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, and a gratified smile appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Ever since the eldest son went to the north, this child had to show his edge. His majesty, who had been lonely all his life, became more and more humane. In front of His Royal Highness, he became more and more like a paternal father who spoiled his grandson. Not the daunting emperor.

The first emperor was lazy, and was forced to take his wife online forcibly, and followed his grandson to do a set of Tai Chi.

The grandparents and grandchildren did not go to the main hall to eat anymore, and asked people to send the food to the shade of the tree here, chatting and eating at the same time.

"Ying'er, you just got married recently. Actually, you don't need to come to the palace every day. If you have nothing to do, you can spend more time with your daughter-in-law at home. My eldest mother is still waiting to hold her grandson..."

Serving her eldest grandson with a bowl of millet porridge with ginseng and wolfberry, Concubine Zheng looked at the sensible grandson kindly and reminded her.

Zhao Ying raised his head and saw Emperor Shi Huang pretending to be calm while drinking porridge while secretly looking at him.

I know, nine times out of ten, it was this person's instruction again.

He could only answer vaguely.

"Okay, okay, got it, got it—"

The First Emperor looked at the dog speechlessly, and he knew it was perfunctory as soon as he heard it. It was exactly the same as the tone he used to perfunctory him just now.

But he can't get involved in things like giving birth to a baby, so he can only blow his beard and stare, anxious.

"You child, really, why are you so uneasy..."

Concubine Zheng glared at him angrily.

"Forget it, I'll invite your wives and concubines into the palace some time, and have a good talk with them..."

Since the grandson's job can't be done, we have to start with the grandson's wives.Well, when the time comes, I can ask the most experienced female official in the palace to pass on her experience in childbearing.

Eat breakfast.

Concubine Zheng got up and went back to the harem to do her own business, while Shi Huangdi and Zhao Ying got up unhurriedly to deal with today's government affairs, which can be regarded as a kind of tacit understanding.

Seeing Zhao Ying and Emperor Shihuang coming from behind talking and laughing, and entering the hall, Ziying's eyes couldn't help flickering slightly.

The first emperor refused to enfeoff, and implemented the system of prefectures and counties. Including many princes, few of the royal family members went out to take charge of the government. But recently, the wind direction seems to have changed.

First, the young master Gao went to Fujian, and was about to explore overseas, and then the young master Jianglu, who was directly transferred to Kuaiji county captain, became a party member, which made his already quiet heart unable to help but have some thoughts.

If it is not forced by the situation, who is willing to lie flat and be a salted fish?
What's more, he even faintly heard people say that the reason why Young Master Gao and Young Master Jianglu were able to obtain this opportunity was all due to the suggestion of the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Maybe, you can take the time to visit the eldest grandson of the emperor?

Zhao Ying didn't know that this emperor's grandson, who could barely be regarded as an outstanding relative in the late period of the Great Qin Dynasty, had already moved his mind to cling to him. And sit down, and start to handle these memorials proficiently.

Today's memorials are still the same as before. Most of them are localities applying for road construction, water conservancy, or floods and droughts, applying for relief, or asking for tax relief.

In short, it's just screaming for money.

Whether the article is full of flowers and flowers, written with twists and turns, or simple and capable, straight to the point, they are all in the same tone, asking for money, crying poor, and pretending to be pitiful.

Zhao Ying simply sorted out the requested posts.

Good guy, this time, this kind of memorial accounted for nearly two-thirds!

This is outrageous!

Seeing the angry look of his eldest grandson, Shi Huang couldn't help laughing, and said cheerfully.

"Do you think it's outrageous—"

"Well, this group of people, almost—should be dragged out to beat the board!"

Zhao Ying sat down angrily.

"This group of people are simply fooling around. According to what they say, even if we emptied all of our Daqin treasury, it would not be enough for them to ask for—and, some people are simply joining in the fun, thinking that they can make a fortune. A sum of..."

Zhao Ying is no longer the dazed young man he was at the beginning. After this period of time, Emperor Shi Huang almost taught him by hand, and now he can see the tricks in these memorials at a glance.

"Actually, you can't say they were wrong—"

The First Emperor threw down the brush in his hand, and leaned happily on the back of his chair.

"As a local official, if he can't take the initiative to fight for the welfare of the local area, he will not only be dereliction of duty. I am afraid that the officials under him and the local people will have opinions on him. If it is serious, they may even violate the law... ..."

Zhao Ying naturally knew this truth, and had dealt with many similar memorials before.

But this time, it was really too much.

"But, Father, take a look, this one, this one, and this one..."

While speaking, Zhao Ying had thrown out more than twenty memorials in one breath.

"These people are just doing nonsense. These projects can obviously be carried out next year, or even the year after. ——You still think our grandparents and grandchildren are relaxed..."

The First Emperor looked at the distraught eldest grandson and couldn't help laughing.

"It's not all because of you—"

Zhao Ying: ...

Some guilty pleaded.

"What does this—what does it have to do with me?"

"I have learned from you. How much did your Hexi County cost this year? It almost accounts for [-]% of our Daqin's financial expenditure. If this is the case in the past, I am afraid that our Daqin's finances will be destroyed. Are they jealous..."

Zhao Ying: ...

Looking back embarrassingly, he said with a dry smile.

"Not so exaggerated, not so exaggerated—"

Shi Huang gave him an annoyed look, and didn't even bother to talk to him. He didn't know how much money he took.

"For them, just look at the reply and remember to live within your means. Some can give a little more, some can give a little less, and some can give nothing at all. In short, you have to think clearly about whether to give or not. Weigh it well..."

Zhao Ying nodded obediently.

Re-opening these memorials for applying for money and food, frowning, reading for a long time, and then with a swipe of a pen, they all wrote a rejection.The first emperor, who had always been non-interfering in his handling of the memorials, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

"What's wrong……"

Zhao Ying pushed away the pile of memorabilia in front of him, put down the brush in his hand, then raised his head, looked at Shi Huangdi, and said seriously.

"Father, we can't do this in the future. Whoever cries poor, whoever cries well, can ask for money, and we can't let them simply report a number, and then we will work hard here to calculate for them , and then look at the situation to allocate how much money..."

Having said that, Zhao Ying pushed the memorial in front of him.

"If this goes on like this, it means that they have pushed the work they should do to us, and we have no way to go to the place to check and check it ourselves. In the end, we are exhausted, and it is still a mess. It is easy to give some An opportunity for unjust officials to take advantage of loopholes..."

Shi Huangdi looked relaxed at first, but as he listened, he couldn't help but become serious. He subconsciously sat up straight, his eyes revealed a pensive look, and he spoke expectantly.

"Did you think of something again..."

Zhao Ying nodded seriously.

"Grandson thought of a simple idea just now, but it's immature, I don't know if it can be done..."

When Emperor Shi Huang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he became interested immediately.

"tell me the story……"

"Whoever wants money, who makes the report, can no longer show off his literary talents like this, and can no longer be so vague. A report must be made to clarify the use of money and food and a detailed plan—"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying casually pulled a piece of white paper, picked up a hard pen, and the novice drew on it.

"For example, if Dai County wants to build a ditch to divert water from the Laishui River to irrigate the local land, it must clearly write down how long and wide the ditch is, where the water is drawn from, where it passes through, and how many fields it can irrigate. , how many civilians need to be recruited, how much food will be spent, how long the plan will take, and even the specific person in charge of this matter..."

The First Emperor listened carefully to Zhao Ying's narration, and nodded slightly from time to time.

He can naturally hear the benefits of his grandson's suggestion. With this requirement, not only can the corruption of local officials be eliminated to the greatest extent, but also the trend of following suit and asking for money can be eliminated to the greatest extent.

"Okay, as you say."

As soon as he said it, the first emperor immediately asked several new scholars who were in charge of the Sifang affairs, Li Chen, Zhuo Yi and Xu Zhi, three newly appointed censors, to explain the matter.

Then, he casually handed over the manuscript that Zhao Ying had drawn just now.

When Li Chen, Zhuo Yi and Xu Zhi went down, Shi Huangdi and Zhao Ying also took the opportunity to put down their pens and prepare to rest for a while.

Zhao Ying supported the arm of the First Emperor, walking leisurely around the palace.

I have to say that the Zhangtai Palace is really beautifully built. Standing on the high platform, looking around, not far away, there are green mountains rushing, the river is like a belt, and the mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away.

During the rare time for the two of them to relax, they suddenly saw a school lieutenant galloping in on the palace road not far below.

The expressions of the two of them froze immediately.

This is the school lieutenant in the army.

"Report—Great victory in the Western Regions, Liu Ji, the deputy county captain of Dunhuang, Hexi County, beheaded hundreds of people in one day, destroyed the Yanqi Kingdom, and took all the land of Yanqi..."

Not to mention the first emperor, even Zhao Ying couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Loulan and Che Shiguo are understandable, after all, they directly coerced and lured them, breaking through their psychological defenses, but this is different for Yanqi.

That old cunning Liu Ji chose to attack hard!
Moreover, hundreds of people were beheaded in one day, and Yanqi Kingdom was destroyed...

How did he do it?
The first emperor's mind was much more pure. He couldn't help laughing, glanced at the eldest grandson next to him, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Good! You have a good eye..."

After receiving the good news from the servant, he looked at it carefully, and passed it to Zhao Ying who was already curious.

"There's something about this Liu Ji. I was worried about how he would deal with the aftermath. I didn't expect him to use both kindness and power, and he has a lot of tricks. If this combination of punches continues, Yan Qi will probably be able to stabilize soon..."
