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

Chapter 306 Zhao Si can be a minister!

Of course, this wealth can only refer to ancient times.

Iron and steel metallurgy is always in demand. Even in modern times, steel production capacity is an important indicator of a country's national strength.

No country has too much good metal... Before the birth of the steel jungle, the so-called wealth was barely enough compared to what it is today.

Shi Huang pondered for a moment thoughtfully, since the matter was important, he was willing to let Zhao Si go to make a fuss.

"We'll discuss it after returning to Xianyang!" Shi Huangdi said, ending today's topic.

Now that the driver is ready to turn around, the next step is to gallop straight to Xianyang. If you don’t need to stop in the middle and just hurry, it’s actually quite fast to go back.

The Qiangui Order was implemented, and Li Si was the frontline person, Zhao Si was too young to convince the public, and the first emperor did not want Zhao Si to make too many enemies when he was just a fledgling.

It is definitely impossible for Zhao Si to be on top of the Qiangui Order, but after returning to Xianyang, it is impossible for Zhao Si to continue to do nothing like he is now.

It is impossible to really cut Zhao Si and throw it into the palace for Zhongche Fuling to use.

As for Zhao Si, he didn't expect to start the iron and steel smelting technology tree now. He had no choice but to go back to the city yet.

Even if the first emperor agrees, he will have to wait until he returns to Xianyang to start.

Now I am just saying this to give Shi Huang a bottom line, but for now, judging from Shi Huang's attitude, there is still a lot to do.

Still the same sentence, the first emperor can deal with this person, listen to advice.

After Zhao Si finished talking about what he wanted to say, he exited the chariot tactfully.

Li Si naturally began to summarize the problems discovered by the current tour to the first emperor.

All in all, it is still the same, and the policy cannot be implemented.

There are many factors and they are also very complicated. There are local forces at work, and some people's hearts will be difficult to change for a while, as well as the subtle influence of conservative thinking and insufficient conditions.

It will take time to solve all these. Fortunately, Shi Huangdi is not so eager now. At least he is physically strong now, and it doesn't feel like a big problem for Shi Huangdi to try to reign for another 30 or [-] years.

If you can't do it in ten years, you can do it in 20 or 30 years. There is no problem with your health, and the first emperor is not lacking in patience.

The problem described by Li Si is the top priority in the future, but it will definitely not be solved in a while.

Li Si reported earnestly, and Emperor Shi Huang listened carefully and made his own analysis, prioritizing the matter.

The monarch and his ministers are both at the top of the era, there is no nonsense, and it only took half an hour to smooth it out.

After Li Si reported on his work, he prepared to get up and salute to leave according to the usual practice.

If you don't resign, you won't be able to do it. The Emperor Shi Huang will not keep him for dinner now. Currently, only Zhao Si can enjoy the noble treatment of eating with the Emperor Shi Huang...

Li Si seriously suspected that the reason why Emperor Shihuang took him to dinner a while ago was because Emperor Shihuang was still in the stage of losing weight and getting fit, and the diet meal Zhao Si made was too unpalatable. Emperor Shihuang simply wanted to drag one more person into the water.

He was about to get up, but was stopped by the first emperor.

Li Si had no choice but to straighten his body and sit still.

"From your point of view, is Zhao Si worthy?" Shi Huang asked.

Li Si knew that Emperor Shi Huang asked him to sit down for something, but he didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

Qing has two meanings.

One is called Jue, and the other is called Official.

Zhao Si's title is Si Che Shuzhang, which already belongs to the title of the Qing class.

Then the problem is also obvious, the first emperor's mouth is only the official position.

In this era, everything is in the ascendant, and the official rank system has not been completely separated. At present, it seems that the rank stone system and the official rank system are parallel.

The "Qing" in Shihuang's mouth obviously refers to an official rather than a noble.

What is Qing?
As the saying goes, three lords and nine ministers!

Shangqing must be responsible for Jiuqing's words.

Meng Yi is Shangqing, and Dunwei is also Shangqing...

Officials have achieved this level, looking at the entire Qin State, the total is only double digits.

Become Qing, that is Jiuqing's reserve... Theoretically, it is completely equal to Jiuqing, nothing more than the difference in power.

So here comes the question, with the closeness of the first emperor to Zhao Si, will Zhao Si lack power in his hands?

Not to mention after becoming Shangqing, even now, even before Zhao Si became Shangqing, Li Si didn't even think that Zhao Si had no power in his hands.

As long as Zhao Si thinks about it, as long as Zhao Si dares, in a certain sense, he has more power than he, the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty.

"Shangqing..." Li Si stroked his goatee.

The First Emperor's thoughts were obvious, and in Li Si's view, there was not much difference between whether Zhao Sicheng became the Shangqing or not. It was just that Zhao Si changed his name to do things in the future, and it became more logical for the First Emperor to ask Zhao Si to do things.

Nothing to refute...

Li Si also didn't think that his disagreement could affect the first emperor's decision-making.

Besides, even if this kid Zhao Si doesn't shoulder the heavy responsibility of moving the noble order, it's time to stand in front of the stage.

It can't be this kid who comes up with ideas in the future, so I have to be busy.

Of course, strategic hesitation is still needed, which will show that he has given this matter serious thought.

"Although he is still young, he has made great contributions to the country and is enough to be a minister!" Li Si gave his evaluation seriously.

Seeking truth from facts, based on Zhao Si's current achievements, three kinds of immortal grains, abundant crops, horse saddle and horseshoes, and the order to relocate to nobles, the sum of his merits is indeed worthy of the post of Shangqing.

As for talent?

Shangqing is a reserve of Jiuqing. If he has no talent, he will always prepare for it.

The First Emperor raised his eyes to look at Li Si, and smiled for a moment in silence.

It is superfluous to ask Li Si about this matter, Li Si has no reason and no possibility to prevent Zhao Si from becoming Shangqing.

"Let's go down first..." Shi Huang waved his hand.

Li Si retreated on his own.

After Li Si left, Emperor Shi Huang lightly tapped his fingers on the table, and his eyes fell on the figure of the tank on the table.

Many things can be justified by becoming Shangqing.

At present, maritime affairs have entered the right track. Zou Feng has properly completed the preliminary planning and development. The maritime department, which was born amidst doubts, has become a sweet pastry in court with the continuous delivery of gold and silver. It became one of the important economic sources of Daqin.

But Zou Feng is old, and Zou Feng is the contemporary leader of the Yin Yang family.

Emperor Shihuang didn't mind any family's disciples entering any department of Daqin, as long as they had enough talents, Emperor Shihuang would not abandon them because of biased thinking.

But overseas can't be reduced to the yin and yang family's monopoly, Zou Feng is too guarded against all schools of thought, and the differences between academic schools in overseas affairs are too serious at present, this is not appropriate.

Zhao Si didn't have enough qualifications and talents before, but now he is barely enough, and he has his own followers under his command, so it's time to pick up some burdens.

Today's Zhao Si is not what it used to be. With the assistance of Zhang Cang and his party, he can shoulder more tasks, and Zhao Si should also give his disciples a stage to display their fists.

Of course, it's not just maritime related...

It was agreed a long time ago that maritime affairs are independent from Jiuqing, but the new organization has not been established for a long time. Needless to say why.

"The matter of craftsmen..." Shi Huang shook his head while talking.

The craftsmen were probably in charge of the Jiangzuo Shaofu, but what Zhao Si wanted to do was obviously not to set up another large-scale production department, and Emperor Shi Huang had noticed this very early on.

"and also……"

The first emperor planned to take out Lang Zhongling's military power alone...

(There are foreshadowings in front of these considerations, but everyone is also in a hurry to return to Xianyang, so I will briefly say that it is not so abrupt for Zhao Si to hold power in the future. Also, if there is no mention in the future, there will be updates.)
