Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 574: Execution of craftsmen, technological fault (please tip and subscribe!)

Fusu froze in his seat and thought for a long time.

Building a mausoleum?Remind myself every day that I might die someday.I haven't saved much money yet, so I have to set aside a budget first.

"Everyone is mortal, and I understand this truth. You can go ahead and start choosing the site to fix the pit, but Ji Hao, please remember, everything about my tomb is kept simple."

The ancients always attached great importance to their posthumous affairs, but the previous emperor, Shi Huangdi, always regarded his posthumous affairs as more important than his immediate past.

However, when these words came from the second generation's mouth, neither of them were surprised.

"only!"

"I often think that letting those craftsmen with superb skills to bury the late emperor here is just for the sake of my filial piety, but it is a huge loss for the empire. I feel ashamed of this."

Ji Hao saw that the second generation was unwilling to kill these people, so he had to tactfully state:
"Exquisite and pure craftsmen are often hard to come by. Some of them have spent their whole lives in the imperial tombs, and have mastered craftsmanship that few people in the world can match."

The second generation looked troubled:

"I want to be merciful and pardon them, but I am afraid that they will reveal the secrets of the imperial mausoleum to the outside world."

Ji Hao gritted his teeth. Although His Majesty was born into a noble family, it was not easy for him to look after him as a carpenter.This time the second generation wants to keep those craftsmen alive and pass down the craftsmanship, which may cause many disasters.

No matter what, this matter will attract courtiers to criticize him, but he is willing to take the blame for the emperor in this matter.

After all, he had neither the ability to strategize nor the ability to deploy troops and generals.The only practical thing is that he knows all about the construction process.But in the court, these abilities could not help the emperor.

He could only find ways to help Nisei elsewhere.

Ji Hao gritted his teeth:
"If Your Majesty is worried about this, I think there is no need for it."

"how do I say this?"

"I thought that your majesty could be merciful and let the Lishan craftsmen live. After all, they have spent their whole lives working on the imperial mausoleum. Their accumulated craftsmanship has reached a level that is unimaginable to the world. Some of them are good at smelting and casting bronze. Some people are good at casting iron tools, some are good at casting clay pottery, and some are good at carpentry."

"They are all rare craftsmen in this world. Your Majesty is merciful and doesn't want those skills to be lost. I think it's better to imprison them first, let them teach and teach their disciples new skills, and they will not be allowed to survive until the skills are taught. In addition, the minister I am willing to summon these craftsmen to compile hundreds of craftsmanship methods for Your Majesty. Record the craftsmanship methods and leave them to future generations."

"good."

At this time, most people in Xianyang have already fallen asleep after eating, but the nightlife in Xianyang Palace seems to have just begun.

I don't know where the sound of the piano comes from. It is gentle and clear. Playing it on this high platform makes people's thoughts wander.

But everyone knew that the only person who could play such music was the luthier.

Ji Hao felt inexplicably relaxed physically and mentally after listening to the music.

Of course the second son is the same, he knows very well that these piano sounds are played for him.

"Zhang Cang set up a special department of Mohism in Taixue to study technology and crafts. The talents he trained will naturally go to your Ministry of Industry."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Second Emperor looked at Zhang Ping, he summoned him for other important matters.

"Does the Ministry of Industry have anything else to do?"

"Previously, Your Majesty asked me to count the palaces in the world. After my statistics, I found that there are 76 palaces in the world. Among them, there are eight palaces that can be the palaces of the Qin Dynasty. The first palace should be the Linzi Palace, the second should be the Handan Palace, The third is Shaqiu Palace, the fourth is Shouchun Palace, the fifth is Yingcheng Palace, the sixth is Lishan Palace, the seventh is Xinzheng Palace, and the eighth is Daliang Palace.”

"But these palaces are not taken care of, especially Xinzheng Palace and Yingcheng Palace. I ask Your Majesty to set up a special department to manage and repair these palaces." Some people went to the palace to watch."

The second generation understood what Ji Hao was referring to as soon as he heard it.

"In this case, the Ministry of Industry regularly sends some capable craftsmen to various palaces every year to inspect and repair them. When they return, they will record the damage to the palaces."

"only!"

"As for the remaining palaces, I also think they can be used, and it is better to convert them into temples and ancestral halls. The Xuanniao of Qin State is dedicated to the God of Water, Donghuang, Shaosiming and other gods. The ancestral hall is used to honor the Confucian Confucius and Mencius. .”

【The Qin State is still dark, it is about the virtue of water and worships the water god. 】

When the second generation heard this, his eyes naturally lit up.

Ji Hao replied:

"Confucius advocated that the emperor of heaven and earth should be his own master. Your Majesty advocated that the emperor should be entrusted by heaven to worship Confucius. Firstly, he would uphold human ethics; secondly, he would

It means that His Majesty attaches great importance to Confucianism.Although those old palaces are dilapidated, they are still places where local people gather when troubles arise. The establishment of these ancestral halls can also be used to promote Confucianism among the three elders in the village. "

After hearing this method, the second generation was naturally very happy. When he was excited, he clapped his hands and said:
"Good! Great good!"

Although emperors, generals and ministers valued technology, it did not mean that they valued orders from the Ministry of Works.Those who dig holes are no better than those who ride horses.But the second generation is different. He is very kind to the craftsmen.

Although Ji Hao was once appointed as the Shaofu and held the position of Shangqing, he was still at the bottom of the hierarchy and could not be reused by the emperor.In charge of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, he only listened to the instructions of Li Si, Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, and Feng Quji.

Later, the second emperor interceded with him in front of the emperor and advocated the establishment of the Ministry of Industry, but the first emperor still refused to talk to him.He was given an empty title in name only.When the first emperor was busy touring the outer east, all the officials surrounded the prime minister, and he was the only one who surrounded Fusu.When the first emperor was in Xianyang City, he was the pillar of dust in the corner of the Dazheng Hall.But he still circled around Fusu.

No one took him seriously except the second generation.Even though he was not reused by the first emperor, His Majesty did not treat him lightly because of this.In Ji Hao's view, it is extremely rare for the second generation not to be contemptuous or insulting.

But Lord Dongyang is always accompanied by many knowledgeable people, including Mrs. Qingyang, who talks about Confucius.Even if he accompanied Lord Dongyang to listen to music and drink under the tree, there would always be Confucian scholars coming over to chat with him.

Ji Hao, who was not very knowledgeable, naturally felt uncomfortable. In order not to let himself get rusty, he could drink and chat with the knowledgeable Second Emperor, so Ji Hao started the mode of not letting go of the book.Don't read anything else but the books written by the emperor.

It’s been ten years, and now it’s finally working!
Ji Hao's face and heart were filled with joy, like a wild bear finding sweet honey.

In this splendid and majestic palace, which is rare in the world, only one ten thousandth of the people in the world can enter it.
