Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 7 Contact with Foreign Ministers (please recommend and vote for me!)

Early the next morning, wisps of golden light beams shot towards the earth like sharp arrows.On the outskirts of Xianyang City, among the dense green mountain forests, flocks of birds emerged from the deep shadows of the forest, and then disappeared into the green fields next to them.

With a loud creaking sound, the two giant doors in front of Xianyang Palace were slowly opened by fourteen guards.Afterwards, civil servants and military generals dressed in various colored robes appeared in twos and threes, either in groups or alone, and went to the Dazheng Hall one after another.

In Liuying Palace and Yiyang Palace, Fusu had changed into his crown clothes early.He had just received the news that Ying Zheng had issued an edict to the general and the young master, and Zhao Gao would personally bring the general to see him later.

When he was about to be appointed as the Young Master, Fusu only knew that this position was specifically responsible for palace construction matters, but he did not know who was currently occupying this position.

The general will be the Shaofu, under the Nine Ministers, but because of his responsibilities, he can often see the emperor.Generals serving as Shaofu are different from subordinate ministers in Fusu's palace. To Fusu, these ministers are foreign ministers and can communicate with officials at the upper and lower levels of the court.

But foreign ministers are different from internal ministers, precisely because they live outside the palace, and it is difficult to control their every move.But they were able to extend their eyes and ears beyond the palace.

The owner of this body is still very young, and his face shape is still undefined, but his soul is that of a college student in the 21st century.Coming from an era of explosion of information and knowledge completely made up for his lack of age and experience, and even allowed him to see the world beyond the limitations of the times.

To put it simply, the protagonist's structure is definitely far greater than anyone trapped in historical time and space.

In the copper incense burner in front of me, cigarettes from Bashu were burning, and the smoke curled up, refreshing.The spring breeze gently holds the curtain gauze beside the wooden window, swaying here and there.The floors in the palace had been washed and wiped several times by the palace maids, and they were now spotless and even shiny.

The steps are covered with exquisite bamboo mats, and the fragrance is all over your face.

In an era where everyone around us has sinusitis in the future, we suddenly come to ancient times, and the most enjoyable thing is the air here.

From time to time, the sound of water dripping from the dripping copper kettle could be heard in the cabinet...

The surroundings were really too quiet, and the people in the palace were all whispering in low voices, speaking slowly and carefully.

Fusu was in a good mood today. He was planting flowers and grass by the window while waiting for Zhao Gao.

"I pay my respects to the eldest son."

Nowadays, Zhao Gao is a regular servant in the official residence.

Zhongchangshi serves as the emperor's assistant, serves as the emperor's adviser, and can often enter and exit the forbidden areas of the palace.The official position is neither high nor low, but in the palace, the power of the regular servants can be said to be the highest among the hidden officials.

In short, Zhao Gao can be said to be No. 1 among the ministers of the Qin Dynasty.

"Exemption."

What made people look at him was that behind him there was a middle-aged man wearing a red robe with extraordinary arrogance.

He is tall, with broad ears and a long beard. The hair crown on his head is slanted and he is full of energy.

"This should be the young master general."

Zhao Gao smiled happily:

"The young master has a sharp eye and knows the pearls. Let me introduce you to the young master. This is Ji Hao, who will be the young master. Ji will do it."

Fusu did not recognize Ji Hao, but Ji Hao had met the young master Fusu.Celebrities with high status are like this. Everyone around them knows them, but they only know a few of them.

"Ji Hao pays homage to the young master."

"Without courtesy. Changshi Zhao must have informed General Ji about the construction of a pavilion at the foot of Mount Li."

Ji Hao looked solemn.

His stubble covered his chin and the corners of his mouth, and it seemed that it was this stubble that made people feel that Ji Hao was very reliable.

"Don't worry, sir, Ji Hao will do his best to help you complete this project within three months."

Zhao Gao is the best at observing words and emotions.This young master is young and is responsible for a major project for the first time. He needs to learn more from the general.

"My lord, I have to go back and give the king my orders, so I have to take my leave first."

"Go ahead."

Seeing Zhao Gao's face was respectful and respectful when he stepped back, and he was even hunched over, looking like a villain, but Ji Hao's eyes were full of anger.

He had long been unhappy with Zhao Gao.

This bastard has a criminal record and a low status, but he always pretends to be powerful!In front of the king, concubines and princes, he was servile and flattering, but in front of them, he was quite arrogant.

The fox pretends to be the tiger!Let's see how long he can be proud of it!
Fusu sat in the upper seat, keeping this scene in his eyes calmly.

Perhaps there is some disharmony between these two people?
This Zhao Gao, the people in the palace who are dissatisfied with him are not just the young general in front of him.Even his guard Chi Wu criticized him.

However, no one dared to offend Zhao Gao.Because their king was with Zhao Gao every day, the two of them were together except at night.

In fact, in order to make it easier for Yingzheng to have Zhao Gao serve him, there was a place for Zhao Gao in the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests, so he did not have to live in Yongxiang.

Seeing that the eldest son was staring at him intently, Ji Hao immediately returned to his previous solemn and solemn expression.

"Son—"

"speak."

Ji Hao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then got straight to the point.

"I have heard Changshi Zhao tell Ji Hao about the building. I learned that it was the Young Master's suggestion to build the building under Lishan Mountain. Therefore, Ji Hao boldly asked the Young Master why the Young Master insisted on supervising the construction of this project."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ji Hao added.

"After all, a supervisor always needs exposure, and the young master has a noble position..."

In these last few sentences, Ji Hao's tone was subtle and meaningful.Ji Hao wanted to ask the young master whether he should be a front-line commander or just an inspector.

If it were not for his noble status, a 17-year-old boy would not be able to do anything other than chop wood and boil water for such a project.

Zhao Gao explained that the most important thing for the young master now is to calm down and study and practice martial arts. Don't let him spend too much energy on such a project, otherwise His Majesty will be unhappy if he finds out.

"Young Master has a distinguished status and is not familiar with civil engineering matters. I am afraid that there are many things that the Young Master has more than enough heart but lacks the strength. Therefore, I am bold and ask the Young Master to hand over all matters to me, and I can supervise from the side. I can come here every day. Report to the Young Master."

"What you said is correct. I will supervise it myself. As for the specific projects involved, I will follow your arrangements. If I don't go to Lishan in person to supervise the construction of official residences in the future, you should report it every three days."

The implication was that he wanted to go see it in person.

He will be the Shaofu and will be in charge of civil construction. The position is extraordinary and there is a lot of money to be gained.

Ji Hao responded obediently:

"only!"

This was the first time these two people met. The king is not the king, and the minister is not the minister. After saying this, the two of them were speechless for a moment.

Ji Hao had thought about it before coming here. His Majesty arranged for the eldest son to do this, and he must have the intention to investigate the eldest son. It can be seen that your majesty has the intention of passing the throne to the eldest son.Therefore, this matter cannot be neglected. He has to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, and make the young master feel that he has contributed to this matter, and ensure that he can complete the project as scheduled.

Ji Hao said:

"Young master, do you know that the three-month deadline set by the king cannot be completed as scheduled."

"Oh?"

Fusu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"How long will it take for General Ji to build the building?"

"At least half a year."

Fusu was very calm, his face still calm and calm, making it difficult for people to understand his mood.

"Has Ji Jiangzuo seen the king's edict?"

"I have read it."

"I'm afraid General Ji didn't read the king's edict carefully. The edict clearly states: This construction will be carried out at any cost."

Ji Hao has his own difficulties.

"Sir, I'm just telling the truth. The deadline of three months will indeed not be completed."

"What's the reason?"

"Sir, our Qin State has always built a lot of civil engineering. A few days ago, the Zhengguo Canal was just completed. Now the king has ordered his ministers to build the Lanchi Palace and build a new palace in the palace. In addition, there are also the king's palaces. Mausoleum. Every place requires huge financial resources, and now the eldest son has to build a library in Lishan, and he needs to mobilize people."

"Then how does Ji Shosaku think this matter should be handled?"

"But I beg the young master to fight for another three months in front of the king."

"I think you should know better than me. Your Majesty always means what you say, and he sticks to his word. He has set a period of three months, which is March."

Ji Hao originally thought that the eldest son was easy to talk to, but he didn't expect that he could hardly catch up with every word he said.The eldest son seems to be more confident than usual today, not like usual.Always with a bit of humility, too scholarly and gentlemanly!

But Ji Hao also has his own considerations.

"Young master, I'm afraid you don't know. The king is busy conquering six countries. However, every time the king destroys a country, he will ask us to build a palace exactly like that country. The amount of work is huge."

"Now the building is scheduled to be built at the foot of Lishan Mountain. However, it will take half a day to go back and forth from Xianyang Palace to Lishan Mountain. The building will be completed within the three-month deadline..."

"Father Jun said March is March, how could you think of disobeying it. If there are not enough manpower, we can allocate more manpower; if the journey is far, let the craftsmen live near Lishan; if there is not enough stone and wood, Then we can spread it out from the four projects, or cut down the trees on the spot.”

The young master helped Su in one go, why did that aura just now make him feel like a king in front of him in a trance.

But when he took a closer look, he didn't even wear the crown. He was 17 years old, which was the time when young people were irritable and impulsive.

For a moment, the hall was silent, except for Fusu, everyone's heart was in their throats.

Yes, the young master is not angry.But they could also feel that the young master suddenly had an unprecedented momentum, which made them breathless.

"At least I think that with enough craftsmen and handymen, this project can be completed on schedule."

Fusu was condescending, his tone indifferent, and slightly imperial.When you have something in mind, your momentum will naturally come out.

Fusu himself didn't notice it, but he was overwhelmed by the young king's aura, so he bent down and bowed.

"Since the young master said this, I have nothing more to ask for."
