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

Chapter 190: Zhao Si's fame has grown, and Emperor Shi Huang's birthday is approaching.

The birth of papermaking and printing is a big event, and the two complement each other.

At the very least, Zhao Si's reputation in the world will not be bad in the future.

For Baiguan, it may be due to luck that Zhao Si has everything he has now. After all, Zhao Si doesn't seem to have any real knowledge, has never governed a country, and has no military achievements.

The three kinds of fairy food were found overseas, the millet with explosive yield per mu happened to grow in Zhao Si's field, printing and papermaking were also invented by craftsmen...

However, the common people don't care whether Zhao Si has real merit, and the low-level scholars don't care whether Zhao Si has real merit. .

The real beneficiaries are thousands of Lishu and low-level scholars. After thousands of years, Zhao Si will be praised by a temple and sacrificed endlessly.

Zhao Si is a bit like a mascot in the eyes of all the officials. It's hard to say what his ability is, but there is really something good about this kid.

The most important thing is that Zhao Si is a dignified official, and he is following the path of serious promotion, so he is not an outsider to Baiguan.

At the banquet, almost all the officials present had a face-to-face meeting with Zhao Si, and greatly appreciated Zhao Si's papermaking and printing skills.

The same is true for Shu Suntong, who not only affirmed Zhao Si's contribution face to face, but also continued to praise Zhao Si with the surrounding doctors after returning to his seat.

"Why is the doctor like this?"

Some people were puzzled by Shu Suntong's appreciation of Zhao Si, and Shu Suntong boasted that Zhao Si was like nothing else in the world.

He not only praised Zhao Si for his papermaking and printing skills, but also praised Zhao Si's virtues, calling Zhao Si a real gentleman.

Gentleman, in this era, especially for Confucian scholars, is not a casual phrase.

How come papermaking and printing are linked to virtue?It even said that Zhao Si has the style of an ancient sage and famous minister?
A group of Confucian scholars think this is a bit exaggerated.

Of course, this also has something to do with Shusun Tong's likes to ask for credit and flattery. It is true that Shusun Tong has high academic attainments, but he likes to cater to the king's favor, and he is quite condescending. Confucianism does not recognize his contempt for him. There are people in the National People's Congress.

This is also the main reason why Shusuntong, as a doctor of Daizhao, dared to refute him in public.

"The art of papermaking and printing is a great achievement in the country, but isn't it invaluable in private? Zhao Si is not greedy for property, and donates generously. Isn't it the behavior of a gentleman?
At present, Zhao Si is an official and a servant, and he is in front of the king. He is more favored than Meng Yi Zhao Gao. So far, the monarch's kindness is strong, and few people get it. However, Zhao Si has never caused troubles for the government because of this, and even benefited the country and the people many times. Selfishness is not arrogant because of the kindness of the king, the greedy and stingy sees wealth and is unrighteous, and the power-hungry is blackmailed by favors, can Zhao Si's behavior not be called a gentleman? "

Everyone heard it with awe!

That's right, Zhao Si's body is full of holy family.

To put it bluntly, with such a strong holy family, it is true that every word and deed may harm Chao Gang and affect the world.

With such a strong family and grace on his back, he can still do his duty honestly, and he is not arrogant in dealing with people and things. He can already be called a gentleman.

Staying true to yourself is never easy!

Therefore, a group of Confucian scholars recognized Shu Suntong's statement. Although they despise Shu Suntong's character, one thing is another thing. According to the understanding of Confucianism, Zhao Si's current actions can be called a true gentleman and a sage. windy.

"Zhao Si, a true gentleman!"

……

This may be Zhao Si's biggest harvest. Although Confucianism suffered a huge blow in the Qin government, its theory prevailed, and there were still many Confucian scholars.

Inexplicably, Zhao Si has the name of a gentleman.

Even the accompanying officials began to accept this statement, and some people called Zhao Si a gentleman when they saw Zhao Si, which made Zhao Si very embarrassed and ashamed.

"Yo, Mr. Zhao..."

When driving and drinking horses to rest, all the officials had a short time for free activities. In the past, Zhao Si would walk around at this time to observe the first emperor's convoy.

Can't do it now, I have to hide, otherwise there will be a bunch of private messages bombarding Zhao Si, which will make Zhao Si feel troubled.

Zhao Si hid in the tree branches by the river to enjoy the cool air, but unexpectedly he was still caught.

Looking down, it turned out to be Li Si.

"Li Xiang, don't make fun of me..." Zhao Si smiled wryly and jumped down from the tree.

"I'm kidding you, but others may not be." Li Si said as he pulled out a few grass stalks from the grass next to the tree and put them in his mouth.

"Sweet."

Noticing Zhao Si's strange eyes, Li Si handed Zhao Si a stick.

"I said why Li Xiang came here, so he came to graze." After saying that, he threw it into his mouth, it was indeed sweet, but a little dry.

"When I was a child, my family was poor and I couldn't eat anything good, so I often looked for this grass to eat. Now I am on the left. I have eaten all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, but these few grass stalks are the most pleasant." Li Si smiled.

"Li Xiang never forgets his original intention." Zhao Si vomited after chewing a few times, very dry, mouth full of scum.

"Yes..." Li Si shook his head.

"That's why I called you a gentleman to make fun of you. They call you a gentleman but they are holding you up." Li Si looked at Zhao Si with great interest.

"Praise and kill?" Zhao Si was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly introspected who he had offended.

"How is it possible?" Li Si laughed dumbfoundedly.

"To praise you is really to praise you. Besides, I have heard that according to the standards of Confucianism, you are indeed a gentleman now." Li Si squatted on the ground and continued to paw.

"Doing nothing makes you a gentleman?" Zhao Si squatted down with Li Si.

Zhao Si felt that he hadn't done anything practical.

"You...Jun En is too heavy!" Li Si pulled out a bunch of grass stalks and stuffed them into his sleeves.

"In this position, if you don't do anything, Qing Yu is indispensable.

The fear is not that you don't do things, but that you want to do things. Li Si smiled and patted his butt.

Zhao Si can probably understand it, but the taste seems a little bit wrong, but having said that, Zhao Gao, as a highly trusted CRRC government order, as an internal minister, seems to have a good reputation in the court...

"By the way, Your Majesty will arrive at Shengdan in about one and a half months." Li Si got up and reminded Zhao Si.

"Happy birthday?"

Li Si was stunned for a moment and nodded, "It's about the same."

"What will you do that day?" Zhao Si asked.

"Sacrifice to Pengzu, give a banquet..." Li Si said and was about to leave with his hands behind his back.

"No birthday present?" Zhao Si asked, looking at Li Si's back.

"What's a birthday present?" Li Si turned around and asked.

"It's a birthday gift." Zhao Si said.

"If we do this, wouldn't people all over the world be scrambling to search for places to flatter us?" Li Si said angrily, and then left straight away.

Zhao Si himself leaned against the big tree and half-lyed down, his thoughts were a little messy.

To be honest, Zhao Si had a hard time getting used to the sudden rise of fame.

But thinking about Li Si's explanation, it's also very reasonable. The gentleman's kindness in him is indeed a bit heavy, and it is precisely because of this that he does not need to do anything to be a manifestation of high moral character.

How to describe it?It's like a person who sees the gold on the ground and treats it as nothing, and does not arouse greed. This is the moral embodiment of a gentleman.

But Zhao Si thought of Li Si's teasing smile, and felt that this understanding was not right.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Si slapped his head...

"This damn is not praising me as a gentleman, but using this name to frame me for fear of bad things!"

Zhao Si belatedly realized that doing good things with one's own ability might still be lacking, but it is too easy to do bad things with one's own favor.

Li Si was deliberately reminding himself not to be restricted by false fame, the praise of being called a gentleman just happened at the right time, so that Zhao Si himself should not be constrained by this false reputation.

"But having said that, Emperor Shihuang is going to celebrate his birthday, what kind of birthday gift should I give?" Zhao Si felt much more comfortable after thinking about it.

"Although Daqin is not happy to give birthday presents, it always feels weird not to."

The reason why he was not allowed to give it away was because the first emperor was the king of a country, and the influence was not good. However, Zhao Si did not intend to give it in public. Based on his closeness to the first emperor, sending a birthday gift in private was also a manifestation of his heart and a good blessing.

For the next few days, Zhao Si was thinking about what kind of birthday gift he should give to the First Emperor, and at the same time endured Hu Hai's constant harassment.

Hu Hai and Zhao Si were in the same car, one driver and one co-pilot, it was too easy to strike up a conversation, especially after Zhao Si got the gentleman's praise, Hu Hai showed more enthusiasm, which made Zhao Si troubled.

But soon...Zhao Si no longer has this trouble.

Because Hu Hai was transferred to the auxiliary car by the first emperor...

Hu Hai's co-driver status was deprived and he became a passenger instead. Zhao Gao drove for Hu Hai, and Zhao Si drove for Shi Huangdi.

The harassment... is finally gone.

And Zhao Si finally figured out what kind of birthday gift to send to Shi Huangdi after he was so rare and clean.

Even Zhao Si couldn't bring out any rare and exotic treasures.

Zhao Si wanted to give this birthday gift as a nostalgia for her previous life rather than as a favor.

The first emperor was indeed very kind to himself, and Zhao Si also wanted to make the first emperor feel more comfortable when celebrating his birthday.

Thinking of the world map that the First Emperor hung in his office, Zhao Si made up his mind.

Get a globe for the first emperor!
This thing is simple, just pull a ball out and draw it.

The world map that I drew when I came back was still hanging there, it was time to change it.

Therefore, Zhao Si drove during the day, and in his free time, he did handwork. Now he is thinking about mixing paints for micro-carving.

After traveling day after day, the frame finally left Guanzhong and headed towards Dongjun.

The destination refers directly to the place where the strange stone fell from the sky.

Obviously, Emperor Shi Huang did not intend to take a detour.

Dongjun has made it clear that something is wrong here, and Meng Yi is not a fool.

As the driver drove out of Guanzhong, the number of times the soldiers explored the road along the way increased significantly, and everyone was prepared to prevent accidents.

Including Zhao Si, an inexplicable emotion also spread in his heart.

(Punctual, it will be updated at this time in the future.)
