Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 148 Zhao Gaozheng is gradually being replaced by Zhao Si.

"Why did I lie to Li Xiang?" Seeing that Li Si didn't believe it, Zhao Si explained to Li Si with a smile.

"Li Xiang should know about Lang Zhongling dispatching craftsmen."

Li Si is the left prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, the head of all officials, and this kind of government affairs activities must be reported upwards, and Li Si must have seen it.

Li Si thought for a moment, and he did have an impression of this matter.

"Within half a year, the first batch of paper can be produced. With woodblock printing, it is not difficult for every household to have a volume of Qin law! Not only Qin law, but also other books, enlightenment books, literacy books, as long as Li Xiang thinks The books that people in the world should read can be spread widely.

Not only that, when the laws and regulations are issued, if His Majesty has anything to say to the people of the world, if Li Xiang has anything to say to the world, they can be printed and distributed to all parts of the world. There is no need for manual transcription, only repeated printing... Compared with the manual copying of seal cutting in the past, the speed has increased by more than a hundred times!Moreover, the people who make the engraving do not need to be literate, they only need to carve it according to the handwriting. "Zhao Si explained.

This is the true meaning of papermaking and printing.

Break the monopoly of knowledge and make knowledge cheap, or in other words, take the pricing power of knowledge away from the nobles.

Whether to popularize education in the future or continue to fool the people is no longer up to the nobles.

Li Si was shocked when he heard this!
"I thought it was because the Langzhong Commander's Office wanted to build some kind of building, so they were recruited from General Zuo Shao's Mansion, but I didn't expect it to be for such a big event!"

With Li Si's political acumen, he understood the key to papermaking and printing in an instant, even if he didn't have the actual objects, he just relied on Zhao Si's description.

Not to mention, papermaking and printing are also related to some of his visions and ambitions.

"Within half a year, can it really be produced?" Li Si asked seriously.

If there are these two big killers, then the unrealistic fantasy in Li Si's heart may really come true.

Papermaking and printing would break down one of the most critical limitations.

"It will only be fast and not slow!" Zhao Si said seriously.

"Beautiful!" Li Si applauded!
"No, I have to go to the doctor's office to observe it!" Li Si finally couldn't sit still and decided to visit it himself.

Papermaking and printing are two things that are related to his future path and whether he can blaze a new path.

"Li Shu is the most important... the nobles are next..."

"It's easy to say, but it's not so simple to do..."

Li Si hurried towards Lang Zhong's office, with many thoughts in his mind.

"Good people, how should we be kind?"

"What should be the explanation for the people coming together to form a clan?"

"The little people forget their profits and lose their righteousness, how to solve it?"

"The common people are dull, enlightening their wisdom and harming the country, what should be the explanation?"

"How important is it to respect the people, and how good are the people to be kind? If the people are not hungry, they will pursue profit; The legalist thought gave birth to many contradictions and conflicts.

"No...these problems don't only exist in Li Shu, Li Shu and nobles, they are all the same!" Li Si suddenly realized something in his mind.

"Rich is expensive, poor is poor!"

"I used to be a commoner in Shangcai, and I only wanted to be famous in the village, but now I want to go one step further and have power over the world."

Li Si seemed to be enlightened, with more and more thoughts in his mind.

Suddenly Li Si seemed to realize something, and turned his head to look in the direction Zhao Si left.

"It's the boy's way!"

Li Si suddenly realized that Zhao Si didn't want to kill the nobles of today, but the nobles of the present and the future.

What he wants to kill is not a group of people, but hundreds or thousands of people in the future.

What Zhao Si wants to do is not to move the nobles, but to put the people first.

"A public weapon..." Li Si turned and glanced in the direction of the palace.

That's right, the moment a citizen becomes a public weapon, they are no longer a citizen.

Just like what Zhao Si said, a broken public weapon should be replaced. Zhao Si doesn't really care who becomes a public weapon. In Zhao Si's eyes, no matter whether he is born in a noble family or from the head of Guizhou, he should be an official Qin official. At that moment, Zhao Si no longer regarded him as a citizen.

Li Si discovered Zhao Si's selfishness.

It's just that Li Si doesn't care about Zhao Si's selfishness.

"What I am seeking is a great change that has never been seen in thousands of years! And what you are seeking is the head of thousands of generations."

Conflict?At least for now there is no conflict.

At least for now, the two have reached an agreement.

……

And in the palace on the other side.

The first emperor looked at the memorials piled up on the case table, and his spirit was a little weak.

Leaving aside the exhaustion of the night, and driving away Zhao Si, the humanoid nanny, out of face, the first emperor looked lethargic all morning and couldn't get up his strength at all.

Last night's overdraft, without the blessing of the halo of uncut jade, the first emperor seemed to be beaten back to his original form.

From a physiological point of view, the first emperor's body was already in an unhealthy state, and the buff of the raw jade aura covered up this unhealthy condition, and at the same time produced a recovery effect, subtly affecting the first emperor's body.

Leaving aside the psychological effects of the halo of uncut jade, there is no doubt that the first emperor had a psychological dependence on the halo of uncut jade.

The body can't speak, and the feeling brought to Emperor Shihuang is that he is not used to it.

During this period of getting along, the First Emperor was already quite familiar with Zhao Si's accompanying him when he was handling government affairs. From time to time, he ordered Zhao Si to look up the classics and find documents for him.

When eating, Zhao Si was also the meal partner of the first emperor, watching Zhao Si wolfing down the meal, the first emperor would also feel that the unappetizing diet meal could be swallowed.

Zhao Si was suddenly absent, although Zhao Gao could still act as a secretary to help him consult the classics and documents, but the feeling of discomfort troubled Shi Huangdi a lot.

This feeling is very strange, obviously before Zhao Si came, it was Zhao Gao who accompanied him to deal with government affairs and served around.

Obviously Zhao Si took over this job not long ago, seriously Zhao Si is not as experienced as Zhao Gao.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

Zhao Gao's voice sounded, Zhao Si didn't come, but Zhao Si left a menu, even if Zhao Si didn't make it himself, the royal chef in the palace could still make it, but the job of preparing and serving the dishes was changed from Zhao Si to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao put the food in front of the case, then exited the room respectfully, and stood quietly outside the door, waiting for the first emperor to call at any time.

The first emperor looked at the diet meal in front of him, and it was still hard to swallow just looking at it like that.

I picked up the chopsticks, put them in my mouth, chewed dryly twice, and swallowed them whole. I always felt that something was missing, very uncomfortable, and my appetite was very poor.

"Let's eat together!"

The First Emperor hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhao Gao who was waiting outside the door.

Although Zhao Gao served around the first emperor for a long time, the number of times he had meals with the first emperor can be said to be very few.

The last time may have been several years ago, and Zhao Gao himself can't remember clearly.

Hearing Shi Huangdi's request suddenly, Zhao Gao was overjoyed.

Right now, Zhao Si's position is becoming more and more stable, while Zhao Gao's situation is getting worse and worse. After all, Zhao Gao was responsible for many of Zhao Si's tasks.

Now that Zhao Si has become a regular attendant, Zhao Gao is becoming more and more marginalized, which makes Zhao Gao a little worried. If things go on like this, he might retire from being a close minister of the king to an ordinary courtier in charge of the imperial confinement.

Although the position is still under the order of the CRRC government, the status may be different.

In fact, the favor and needs of the king are the embodiment of power.

Zhao Gao realized that his irreplaceability was being slowly replaced by Zhao Si, but he did not take any action. Zhao Gao knew that he was in a weak position now, and the more he was in this situation, the less he could make any changes.

His own irreplaceability is gradually disappearing. At this time, taking the initiative to attack is tantamount to killing himself, especially when there are many people in the court who dislike him, for example, Meng Yi, Zhao Si's direct boss.

Zhao Si is not good at wielding power, Zhao Gao can see it.But Meng Yi behind Zhao Si made Zhao Gao dare not act rashly. He was sure that as long as he made a move, Meng Yi would definitely beat the dog in the water.

This is also the main reason why Zhao Gao has shown goodwill to Zhao Si many times before. He has offended Meng Yi, and it is impossible to show goodwill to Meng Yi, but showing goodwill to Zhao Si can also indirectly ease the conflict. At the very least, Zhao Si and Meng Yi must be guaranteed There will be no consensus.

So, to be serious, this time eating with the first emperor, for Zhao Gao, the meaning is not just eating with the same case.

His position is precarious, his situation is getting worse and worse, and he must seize every limited opportunity that is not easy.

"It seems that the king has me in his heart after all!" Zhao Gao, overjoyed in his heart, came to the case step by step, bowed respectfully and sat down on his knees.

Because the number of times he ate with the first emperor was very few, Zhao Gao felt a little hesitant.

How can we make Emperor Shihuang happy?

As a former close minister of the king, Zhao Gao could tell that the first emperor was not in a good condition.

Zhao Gao calmed himself down and remained calm.

what's next?

At this time, why not think about what Zhao Si would do?
Although, Zhao Gao didn't like Zhao Si very much, but Zhao Gao had to admit that Zhao Si did have the ability to make people close, especially in the process of getting along with the first emperor, the first emperor's mental state improved visibly with the naked eye.

This is also the point that Zhao Gao fears Zhao Si the most.

Fortunately, Zhao Si is not good at playing power!
Fortunately, Zhao Si had no idea how exaggerated Shi Huang's closeness to him was.

If Zhao Si was a scheming person, it would be a breeze if he wanted to bring chaos to the court.

Objectively speaking, in terms of making the first emperor happy physically and mentally, Zhao Gao also had to recognize Zhao Si's ability, and Zhao Si had indeed been involved in the same case as the first emperor countless times.

It can be said that during this period of time, Zhao Si had eaten together with the First Emperor more than all the courtiers. In this regard, Zhao Si was indeed more experienced.

So, Zhao Gao began to try his best to restore the scene where Zhao Si and Zhao Gao got along.

It was later discovered that Zhao Si didn't seem to stick to small rituals, he ate in front of the First Emperor, gobbled it up, and babbled...

Zhao Gao wanted to try to learn it, but he didn't dare.

He is not as approachable as Zhao Si...

"What a lucky boy!"

Zhao Gao finally gave up imitation and chose to follow his own rhythm.

While eating well, tell Shi Huang some interesting stories appropriately, and prepare everything he needs for Shi Huang, warm and calm.

The first emperor liked Zhao Si's noise, but he might not like his own.

"It's not the same..." Looking at Zhao Gao's respectful and unsurpassed posture, and the interesting things he occasionally mentioned.

The First Emperor was keenly aware of the difference.

Zhao Gao, not Zhao Si!
It's not as pleasant as Zhao Si's...

For Zhao Si, the first emperor also had to admit that he liked it a little, the kind of elders' liking for younger generations, and even a little licking feeling?
