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

Chapter 93 Bestow official, become a noble! (two in one)

Although he drank a little wine, but fortunately the old horse knew the way, Zhao Si was not particularly drunk, and went all the way to the palace without incident.

At this moment, the sky is already dark, but today's matter is obviously not over yet, and there will be discussion and discussion next.

Under the service of Zhao Gao, the first emperor went into the inner palace to change clothes and rest, while the officials were left in the main hall, but some palace people sent futons for rest.

The whole afternoon is bound to be too emotional.

The production of new grain, the excitement of all civil and military officials, it is inevitable to be a little indulgent during the banquet. I followed the first emperor all the way back to the palace, and I was overworked. The minister stayed for more than an hour to rest.

At the very least, keep your spirits up, so that you won't cause any troubles in the closing process of the following discussion due to drunkenness.

Right now, some people can't restrain themselves from drinking a lot of alcohol because of their agitated mood during the banquet, so they relax and immediately fall asleep groggyly leaning against the table.

Some people are still in high spirits, turning sideways to communicate passionately with their colleagues and think about the future.

Shu Suntong sat quietly on the spot, with a good posture, and never used such indecent auxiliary props as Pingji. It was also soft-spoken and never disturbed others.

Li Si, on the other hand, kept his manners upright while relying on the props. Although the props of the props were a little indecent, since the first emperor sent the palace servants to send them, Li Si would not let them go without them.

As for Wang Jian, he has already fallen asleep in a wheelchair at this moment, and there are two palace servants on the side to serve him alone. Three kinds of new grains are produced.

Zhao Si followed Daliu in a kneeling posture and leaned against the table. Zhao Si came back by car, so he wasn't too tired.

In the whole hall, some people fell asleep, some whispered, some talked loudly, some were stumbling around, and some had a good posture.

"Doctor Zhao, please come out of the hall and wait!" Zhao Si was looking at the appearance of the big boss in the hall who could be counted in the world, when the voice of the palace servant suddenly sounded in his ear.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Si hurriedly followed the palace servants out of the palace and waited.

The next discussion of merit can be said to be Zhao Si's one-man show.

When praying to the ancestors of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, Zhao Si is not in the number one list, but Zhao Si is definitely indispensable in the discussion of merit, and no one except Zhao Si and the crew can share the credit.

Following the palace people to the side hall, there are desks, cushions and leg stools prepared separately for Zhao Si, and there are buttermilk, melon and fruit snacks on the desks, but there is no drink.

"Doctor Zhao, please go inside to take a bath and change clothes!" Before Zhao Si had time to sit down, he was ushered inside again by the palace servants.

"No!" Zhao Si nodded.

I saw that in the inner room, the hot water in the wooden barrel had already been poured, and there were new clothes and crowns prepared by the side.

Zhao Si is the next key gentleman, and strictly speaking, this is the first time Zhao Si has made his debut on the court, so naturally he has to clean up and dress up.

Zhao Si was waiting for the palace servants to go out, and took off his clothes to take a bath, but unexpectedly, his hands had already climbed up to his waist, and just about to undress himself, Zhao Si was shocked...

This palace lady... I don't know if it's a man, but it's definitely not a woman...

Zhao Si hurriedly took a step forward, waved his hands and said, "I do it myself..."

Hearing the words, the palace man hurriedly took two steps back and bowed to apologize, Zhao Si didn't intend to blame, but just waved his hand to signal the other party to go out quickly, after the other party left, Zhao Si took off his clothes and took a shower inside with a sigh of relief.

And the other side...

In the inner hall of the imperial palace, Emperor Shihuang was already quietly resting on the rocking chair.

The first emperor was nearly fifty years old. Although he was excited for most of the day, his physical condition could not keep up. The officials were tired, and the first emperor was also tired.

Fortunately, in the inner palace, you don't have to care about your manners, and you don't have to kneel and sit on the table before the table to rest like the officials are suffering.

Shi Huang leaned back on the reclining chair and swayed, rubbing his fingers up and down on the armrest.

Despite multiple forecasts, the production of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn has exceeded expectations.

Right now, Zhao Si's title and official position have been determined, and the rest of the rewards have also been finalized. It is Meng Yi who is in charge, and Emperor Shi Huang made the final decision.

After all, after all, it is a little bit of pressure.

Zhao Si's current situation is very embarrassing, the credit is too great, the foundation is too shallow, but he is not knowledgeable enough, has no military merits, and no experience in governing.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Si's contribution contains too many accidental elements, and it belongs to another way.

Qin talked about military merits and real government, and most of the credits obtained by such accidents are icing on the cake. Right now, Zhao Si has a sense of putting the cart before the horse.

The merits of Zhao Si should be considered separately, the greatest contribution he can be accepted by the court is that he lived up to the king's order and seized the ship and returned it to Qin, and the second is finding three kinds of new food to bring back auspiciousness.

Right now, the output of the three new grains is too high, but it is a bit overwhelming.

One of the two is the merit of offering treasures, and the other is the merit of being loyal to the emperor and fulfilling his duties. They are not the same, and the gold content is also very different.

Politics has always been like this. Of course, the First Emperor did not treat Zhao Si badly. In fact, he had deliberately promoted another rank to the title of official nominated by Meng Yi.

Jane is in the heart of the emperor... It is also a merit!
If the first emperor wanted to, even if Zhao Si had no credit, he could also make Zhao Si a marquis. The first emperor could do it, but Zhao Si couldn't do it.

Zhao Si's foundation is too shallow, and it won't take long for the terrifying output of new grains to become famous all over the world.

At this time, Zhao Si, who has no political experience, and even his understanding of Daqin and even the world is limited to books, will not be very wonderful if he stands on the cusp of the storm.

Politics can never be simply measured by title and official position, and the twelve worships are limited to this... The big officials in the frontier may not be able to withstand the entanglement of the yellow family servants.

On the other side, in the side hall, Zhao Si had already finished grooming.

Now that she has changed her clothes, she knelt down quietly in front of the table, and a court lady next to Zhao Si used a thick towel to carefully divide Zhao Si's hair into small strands and wipe it clean carefully.

Zhao Si himself ate the melon and fruit snacks and buttermilk to fill his stomach.

It wasn't until the maid finished wiping, tied Zhao Si's hair and put on a crown, that she bowed and said goodbye.

Zhao Si stroked her hair, only a little dampness remained.

Then there was a long waiting time, until Zhao Si was hesitating whether to take a nap, when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the hall.

"Your Majesty is here! Silence and salute!"

The thick voice is very familiar. Although Zhao Gao is an eunuch, his appearance is dignified and resolute, he has a beard, and his voice is extremely thick, making Zhao Si not sure whether Zhao Gao was cut off, and I heard that this guy has a daughter... …

It may have been cut, or it may not have been cut. No one said that it cannot be cut after giving birth. In short, Zhao Gao's work is now in a state of Schrödinger.

Next, I heard the sound of all the ministers saluting in unison. Zhao Si was in the side hall, not far or near, and could hear the movement, but couldn't hear clearly.

If you want to join in the fun and listen to how the officials are bragging, you can't do it. Before worshiping the ancestors, they were all kowtowing. When it's the turn to discuss meritorious service, Zhao Si, the key gentleman, must not be avoided.

On the occasion of this grand event, everyone who participated in the discussion had to give a speech. Zhao Si gave a more or less pertinent evaluation, but when it came to this part of boasting that belonged to him, Zhao Si himself could not be present. It's unsettling.

And at this moment in the hall...

A group of virtuous men arrives, young men and women gather together...

The old god Wang Jian lives in the front row comfortably, and Wang Li and Wang Ben accompany him to the left and right.

On such a grand occasion, it was also the first time that Zhao Si made his debut in the Great Qin Dynasty Hall. At this moment, Wang Lixin had already prepared a draft, and decided that it was his turn to brag about his good brother in a realistic way.

It's just that the belly draft has not been finished yet, but I heard the voice of the eldest father in my ear.

"Don't talk too much..."

Wang Jian, as the mascot, the only Chehou of the Great Qin Dynasty, a special existence transcending the imperial court, the first one to discuss meritorious deeds, Wang Li was surprised to find that his father almost completely ignored Zhao Si, and kept his mouth shut. Xiangrui almost didn't mention Zhao Si's merits at all.

Wang Li was surprised, the elder father Wang Jian's consultation was outrageous, almost completely made Zhao Si transparent, the number of times the word Zhao Si appeared was only Liao Liao twice.

"As I say..."

Wang Li heard the voice of his father Wang Ben again, and then his father Wang Ben came out, just like Wang Jian, not mentioning Zhao Si at all, but blindly attributing the credit to the fate of Qin, only slightly affirming that Zhao Si lived up to the king's fate and was determined to return. Qin matter.

Even though Wang Li had a rebellious character, he didn't dare to confront his elder father and his father. Although he had doubts in his heart, he crushed the bragging draft that he had prepared before, and completely changed his rhetoric like that of his father. .

The ministers continue to discuss...

Once Wang Jian set the tone and started, the big guys simply followed Chehou and flattered the first emperor happily.

Who wouldn't do the multiple-choice question of praising Zhao Si and praising Shi Huangdi?

Therefore, under the guidance of Wang Jian, the Senate Discussion Gong cleverly bypassed Zhao Si. Although Zhao Si's name could not be avoided, it was obvious that he was no longer the core of the Senate.

Wang Li was puzzled and spoke softly.

"Father!"

Wang Jian glanced at Wang Li and shook his head with a smile, signaling Wang Li not to speak.

The grandson, Wang Li, is still too young. Actually...how much does it matter?

The ministers praised him greatly, and the final result was nothing more than Zhao Si's fame, but whether it was praised or ignored, the decision of the actual reward was in the hands of the first emperor.

It's just that Wang Jian raised his head and went astray when he flattered. In the end, Li Si had to go off the stage himself and bring the topic back to Zhao Si, which allowed the next session of merit discussion to continue.

Li Si evaluated Zhao Si's contribution impartially, he didn't say anything less, and he didn't say anything more. It can be said that he was the only person who focused on Zhao Si in the entire discussion.

"Xiangrui's entry into Qin Dynasty is due to doctor Zhao Si's contribution!" Li Si concluded.

The First Emperor nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

Whether it was Wang Jian's performance or Li Si's performance, the first emperor was very satisfied.

"In this case, Zhao Si, the doctor, enter the palace!" Shi Huang nodded.

"Doctor Zhao Si, see you in the palace!" Zhao Gao's deep voice sounded.

Then the people in the harem sang one after another!
"Please come to the hall to see the doctor!" Inside the side hall, the palace servant said softly, Zhao Si was already dressed and ready to go, heard the sound of singing, hurriedly stood up, after tidying up his clothes, he rushed towards the main hall.

Outside the hall, the sky was completely dark, the moon and stars were scarce, and the sky was high and clear. Zhao Si didn't care to enjoy the scenery, and stepped into the hall under the lights to bow and salute.

"Chen, Zhao Si, see Your Majesty!"

After saying that, he simply bowed and saluted near the door!

The First Emperor looked at the dog-like Zhao Si with a smile on his face and said, "Come closer!"

"Close to the king and listen to the music!" Zhao Gao's thick voice sounded again, Zhao Si was able to move forward a few steps, walked to the center of the group of officials, and listened to the music in front of the king.

Zhao Si stood still, and Zhao Gao got the signal from the first emperor, and then he picked up the imperial edict and read it out.

"Gan's 36 years... blah blah blah..."

It probably means that in the 36th year of the first emperor, Zhao Si returned to Qin in Langya, and roughly told what happened.

Zhao Si didn't care about this, he cared about how much his reward would be.

And obviously, the first emperor's edict didn't talk too much nonsense. After affirming Zhao Si's contribution and clarifying the production of the three new grains, it was directly a reward for the crew.

"Every scholar who returns to the Qin Dynasty will be awarded three ranks of honor, ten gold, three pieces of brocade, five hectares of fields, two houses, and two healthy cattle."

Zhao Siwen felt relieved, but fortunately, the credits of the crew who came back with him also fell to the ground and were not ignored.

Right now, the crew is manned as dukes and nobles, and the ranks will be increased by three levels, that is, they will not be replaced, and they will never have to serve as soldiers in the future. There is also Jinjin Jinjin, a healthy farmer in the Liangtian house, who can be said to have directly changed from a white body to a well-off family. The title of title can become a master in an instant, completing a real class transformation.

These rewards are not insignificant, one must know that there are more than 400 sailors who followed Zhao Si back, and the land alone has to be rewarded with a total of [-] hectares.Of course, most of the large-scale land rewards will not fall in Guanzhong.

And next, it was Zhao Si's own reward. Zhao Si cheered up and was full of expectations.

Even most of the officials cheered up with curiosity, after all Zhao Si's contribution is not easy to measure.

"Give ten houses, one thousand households in the city, one thousand pieces of gold, one hundred pieces of brocade, thirty ministers and concubines each, a noble and right concubine, and an official servant!"

After Zhao Gao finished speaking, Zhao Si showed a joyful expression on his face.

Now he is no longer ignorant of Daqin's title.

What is the concept of the title of Youshuchang?Wang Li, the largest of the three generations of the Great Qin Dynasty, is now only the head of the Zuoshu.

Zhao Si's previous title was a doctor, and he was six ranks behind You Shu, and this is not something that can be summed up by the number of ranks added to the title, but the completion of a class leap.

Scholar, doctor, sir!

Although Qin has a [-]-level noble system, the actual core is still a four-level system of scholar, doctor, Qing, and marquis.

A soldier is a soldier who dares to fight, a soldier who wears armor, and a government official.

A doctor can be a military officer at the lowest level, a general at the highest level, and a county magistrate at the highest level.

Qing, at the lowest level, is also the commander of an army, at the highest level, he can lead a battle alone, he can be in charge of politics, and he can be in charge of the affairs of a county when he is decentralized.

As for the Hou... In fact, the Hou of the Qin Dynasty was a higher-level Qing, because the Qin Dynasty implemented the system of prefectures and counties, and most of them gave food to towns, and it was impossible to grant land, so it was more of an honorary nature.

The hierarchy of titles in the Qin Dynasty is a bit like Xiuxian novels.

It is easy to rise to the title of the same level. For example, at the doctor's stage, triple jumps are not uncommon.

At this stage of Qing, there are people who can jump directly into the Marquis at the fifth level.

But from a scholar to a doctor, from a doctor to a minister, it is very difficult to advance to such a level that is close to the door.

The threshold from scholar to doctor is the strictest. Basically, most Lishu battlefields can only fluctuate at the stage of scholars for a lifetime because of meritorious service.

If you are lucky enough to break through the threshold of a doctor, you will have to face the threshold of becoming a doctor.

In fact, in essence, although Qin had a military merit system, there was still no real sense of the head of Guizhou completing the class leap from Baishen to Qing.

In essence, it is just dividing the current quartile system into [-] equal points, which seems to have improved, but actually goes around in circles.

Theoretically speaking, Zhao Si was the first one, a true head of Guizhou, a white body of non-noble descendants, who rose straight to the right rank.

And this is just the second!

What attracted the most attention was the official position of Minister Zhao Si.

Lang Zhongling is divided into four classes, Yi Lang, Zhong Lang, Shi Lang, and Lang Zhong.

These four kinds can be collectively referred to as Langguan, and the servant is regarded as a second-class Langguan. If you go up one level, you will be Langzhong, and if you go up from Langzhong, you will be Jiuqing.

Lang Zhongling's responsibilities are very complicated, many, such as close servants in front of the palace, discussing government affairs, and powers vary from big to small. They are not distinguished by rank, but by closeness to the king.

Generally speaking, if Lang Guan can't make it to Lang Zhong or Lang Zhong Ling, the final result is to be released.

For second-level Lang officials like Shi Lang, the county department usually starts the release. Of course, whether it can be released depends on whether the first emperor can remember you as a person.

But there is no doubt that Zhao Si was handpicked by the first emperor to serve as his minister, and Jane need not be suspicious in the emperor's heart. The future can be said to be bright, and it is clear that she will be brought by her side to serve and cultivate her.

Although there are not a few people with higher official positions than Zhao Si in the court, but facing officials who are close to the king like Lang Guan, especially Zhao Si's hand-picked servants, they must be born three points shorter.

The most important thing is that he was born as an official in Langzhong, which is equivalent to being born in Huangpu.

As long as Zhao Si keeps Jane in the emperor's heart, whether it is to release the military and political power of a place, or change the department to take charge of the court to stir up the situation in the future, it will be a matter of course.

Zhao Si himself was surprised by this result, he thought he should start from Yilang or Zhonglang.Such a reward was unexpected, Zhao Si quickly bowed to thank him.

In fact, Meng Yi's initial proposal was the title of Zuo Shuchang and Yilang.

Zuo Shuchang, just crossed the threshold of Qing, but he is the lowest rank of Qing, not so conspicuous, and has a lot of room for advancement.

Yilang, a low-ranking official among the officials, can still get close to the king.

It's just that the first emperor finally raised his title and official position twice more.

In fact, it wasn't too much. If Zhao Si was truly credited with this credit, it would not be an exaggeration to be named Marquis. The problem is that Zhao Si couldn't handle it.

If it wasn't for Zhao Si's lack of basic knowledge and lack of knowledge, it would be all right to be promoted directly to Shangqing with the character of the first emperor.

The first emperor always emphasized a boldness in employing people.

Naturally, I have suffered for this, but most of the results obtained are satisfactory enough.

Zhao Si stood still under the group of officials, the joy on his face was undisguised, and the First Emperor secretly nodded.

Leaving aside the official position, Zhao Si does not have the ability to take over the position, and he has no political achievements, so the minister is flattering Zhao Si.

But the title was actually suppressed deliberately.

But Zhao Si's joy was undisguised at the moment, Emperor Shihuang could feel that Zhao Si was not dissatisfied with the grading of the title.

This is very good, at least it shows that this kid is not a greedy person.

In fact... Zhao Si didn't feel that the title given by Emperor Shihuang was low.

You know, in history, Chen Zhenlong risked his life to bring him back to the sweet potato court, but he didn't show his fart. In the end, it was just that later generations erected a monument for him in gratitude for his merit.

Right now, it can be regarded as the completion of merit...

After rewarding Zhao Si and thanking the first emperor, the discussion and discussion of merits have basically come to an end.

Accompanied by the ministers respectfully sending him off, the first emperor retreated, and the day's affairs finally came to an end.

The ministers cheered and stepped out of the hall, and Wang Li immediately approached Zhao Si and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Zhao Shu!"

"Tsk, the title is one level higher than mine!" Wang Li excitedly grabbed Zhao Si's arm with excitement.

"How can I compare with you..." Zhao Si waved his hand, this kid Wang Li will inherit Chehou in the future.

"You can't say that, you are unprecedented now." Meng Yi patted Zhao Si's shoulder behind himself.

Meng Yi has always had a good opinion of Zhao Si. Although Zhao Si has neither military merit nor political achievements, he is a down-to-earth and studious person, and he behaves decently. There is no discomfort in getting along with him, and he has indeed brought back a lot of good news.

Right now Zhao Si is a servant, an official of Lang Zhong Ling, Meng Yi is Lang Zhong Ling Shangqing, Zhao Si can be regarded as Meng Yi's subordinate in the future.

"Your Majesty's grace..." Zhao Si waved his hand.

This matter is not worthy of a special mention. He is indeed the only No. 1 in the history of Daqin who has completed the leap from the real head of Guizhou to the Qing class.On this point, no one can compare with Zhao Si, and it is foreseeable that Zhao Si's future is still bright.

But it is impossible to say it for no reason, and it will create a estrangement instead. After all, only Zhao Si was born in the head of Guizhou.

"Remember to prepare your official uniform tomorrow, and you should be on duty in the palace without delay!" Meng Yi smiled and said goodbye to Zhao Si.

"I still want to ask the servant what he does..." Zhao Si opened his mouth.

"That depends on what His Majesty wants Lang Guan to do." Wang Li replied with a smile.

"Other than the palace appointments, there's nothing else to do." Wang Li replied.

Lang Zhongling is a transition station and a training school.

Of all the Lang officials, very few of them can stay in the Lang Zhongling, and the final result is either to be released or transferred to another institution.

However, all ministers who are in charge of the ruling party basically have to be a Lang Guan for two years for professional training.

The fixed task of this place is to guard the palace gate for the first emperor.

Secondly, certain training tasks must be completed.

From time to time, the First Emperor would call Langguans to discuss government memorials, and he would also ask the Langguans to perform individually on specific events. Sometimes, the Langguans would also serve as a guest on the first emperor's think tank team to back up and hide their brains.

At the same time, Lang officials need to deal with some of their duties, such as the first emperor's travel planning, personnel, entourage, roads, time, and utensils, all of which need to be planned and handled by Lang officials.

Lang Guan puts serving the first emperor first, and Lang Guan basically has to do whatever the first emperor needs.

A little minister, secretary, assistant, and guard.

Including Meng Yi, in essence, the first emperor ordered Meng Yi to read the memorials inside, which is also a kind of participation in the government affairs. Meng Yi occasionally has to play a guest role as the second general Heng Ha who was guarding the gate of the first emperor...

At the same time, when traveling, Meng Yi either stayed inside to serve the left and right, or drove for the first emperor outside.Although he is Jiuqing, what he does is actually not fundamentally different from other officials, but Meng Yi has more power.

The two ministers on the left and right, the imperial censor, have to consider Meng Yi's opinion if they want to do great things.At special moments, such as when the first emperor was on a grand tour of the world, Meng Yi's power was greater than that of the three lords. Meng Yi was the controller and planner of the first emperor's driving and the route of the convoy, including the accompanying list.

And it just so happened that Emperor Shihuang especially liked to tour the world.

"So that's how it is..." Zhao Si nodded after listening to Wang Li's explanation.

In this way, there is no essential difference between all Langguan and even Langzhong Lingshangqing. The work is still the same work. The difference is only whether the Emperor Shihuang will let you do it or not, and whether you can do it well.

After all, Wang Li was a Jiji Lang and had studied under Lang Zhongling.

"Tsk! In other words, if Meng Yi hadn't left the convoy to pray for the mountains and rivers in history, there wouldn't be a so-called sand dune coup..."

Chatting with Wang Li all the way, until they got out of the palace, Zhao Si and Wang Li stepped onto the carriage together.

The horse gallops...the frame marches!
"Isn't the Lantian camp here?" Zhao Si looked at Wang Li who was driving, but didn't react for a while.

"Now that the three kinds of new grains have been produced, you have nothing to do in Lantian. You are now an official. Could it be that you plan to leave from the Lantian camp tomorrow and night to go to the palace to pay your dues?" Wang Li turned and looked at Zhao Si.

"Then where are we going?" Zhao Si asked subconsciously in surprise.

"Of course it's your house!" Wang Li said with a smile.

"My family?" Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the Wang family had given him a house in Xianyang City.

It's just that the yard has not been lived in for a long time and needs to be taken care of, and Zhao Si lives in Lantian Daying, and it is troublesome to go out, so she never went there. After all, for so long, Zhao Si didn't even know where the house was. There is only the land deed and house deed document sent by Wang Li.

Now it is really helpful, otherwise tomorrow I will be on duty in the palace, and it is getting late today, if there is no house, I have to find a post station.

Wang Li was driving the chariot, while Zhao Si was sitting in the co-pilot's seat and squinted slightly. About half an hour later, the chariot had already parked steadily in front of a house.

It is the side door, and the main door will be opened to show respect when the distinguished guests come. Most of them, including the host himself, also enter through the side door.

The side door is also guarded by Lichen, with a lean body and a short sackcloth, which can be seen to be very strong.

"I've explained it to you a long time ago, and I specially arranged it for you for a long time. It's just that you haven't been here, so you can go inside to rest... If the servants and concubines at home make things difficult for you, you can change them yourself..." After finishing speaking, Wang Li revealed With an ambiguous smile.

Zhao Si looked at Li Chen who bowed to him in front of him, and Yingying Yanyan's maid who had been waiting inside.

This guy, Wang Li, has arranged this thing for so long?It doesn't look like a home at all, it's like a kiln...

"Master, please come in..."

Zhao Si didn't even have a key, so he just stepped into the tall and completely unfamiliar yard that belonged to him. Looking back, he was about to call Wang Li, but saw Wang Li's figure sitting on the carriage frame had disappeared and dimmed. in the darkness of night.

　Written in the hospital, the update is late, sorry everyone.
