Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

Chapter 523 Changes
The imperial city, Jingquan Palace, this is the queen's bedroom. Although the queen is still in the Zhou mansion and has not come back, Ying Shou always goes here habitually when he wakes up every day.

No matter how attractive Xue Ning's smell of foxglove grass is to him, it still can't stop Ying Shou from going to work here.

On the surface, it seems that Ying Shou doesn't care about Daqin's country and society. However, Daqin is already under his control. Even if he ignores the government and retreats to the harem, his every move inside and outside the court is under his control. under control.

Generally small matters are handled by officials from various places, and then the processing files are handed over to the various ministries and kept in the military and political departments of the various ministries.If the matter is a little bigger, it will be handed over to the six departments. If the six departments are not good, it will be handed over to the third man.

And all the matters handled by Sangong and Liubu will eventually be made into files and placed in front of Yingshou, waiting for Yingshou's approval.

If there is a problem, Ying Shou can point it out, and if there is no problem, he will store the file in the imperial cabinet.

However, since Ying Shou retired, until now, he has not received any court affairs that need to be handled by him. Basically, the official business that needs to be done every day is to review the memorials, other than that, there are no major issues.

It's okay to be so leisurely at first, but gradually, Ying Shou still misses the time when he was so busy.

"Squeak!"

The door opened slowly, and Ying Shou walked in from outside the study.

At this moment, the furnishings in the study of Jingquan Palace have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Before that, or in this era, whether it is a study room or a dining room, no matter what the layout of the room, most of them are based on low tables and tables and mats for sitting.

Aristocrats are a little bit better. You can add a cushion to the mat, but things like seats don't exist.

Even if the emperor sits on the dragon seat, he is actually sitting on his knees.

However, at this time, in this study room, there is a mahogany table more than one meter high, and the most suitable will is placed there.

In the study room, although there are still books on the bamboo slips.

However, in addition to the bookshelves that collided with the bamboo slips, there were several more bookshelves, all of which were paper books. As soon as they entered, there was an elegant fragrance of books.

Ying Shou took a deep breath, looking at the renovated layout in the study, he was very satisfied.

Not long after he handed over the designs of papermaking, printing, tables, chairs and benches to Mo Shang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Mo Shang ordered people to rush out a batch of samples from the Ministry of Industry, and these samples were all used in the palace. , so the best materials are used.

In just one month, books, rice paper, tables, chairs and benches have almost all become popular in the imperial palace.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry even canceled the production of bamboo slips, and started mass papermaking and printing.

In just one month, the number of books produced was comparable to the number of bamboo slips produced in two or three years.

This caused Daqin Wushu's most troublesome book problem to be solved instantly.

In addition, although many things cannot be fully popularized in the Qin Dynasty in a short time, such as memorials, they have also been changed into Xuan paper memorials, which occupy less space and write more than the bamboo slips used to.

This point can be regarded as a complete success in popularization within the government.

Finally, all kinds of tables, chairs and benches have gradually become popular in the court, and those who are officials in the court will use them first.

With the popularity of these things, many etiquettes in Daqin have also changed, and Shu Suntong formulated new etiquette laws.

As the saying goes, sitting has a sitting posture, and standing has a standing posture. In this era when rituals are paramount, even sitting and standing have corresponding rituals.

For example, in later generations, many people have always sat on the ground, just find a piece of land at random, and do it with their buttocks, whether it is leaning on all sides, or crossing their legs, all kinds of weird things are not worth mentioning.

But in this era, if you really want to do this, first of all, let people see, the Ministry of Rites will not let you go, and appoint you to take you there to educate you.

Of course, like farmers in mountain villages, it’s fine to work in the fields and sit in the fields for a while when you’re tired.

But if born in a government family, such rules are even stricter.

Even the emperor, who behaves indecently, will be impeached by the Ministry of Rites.

Therefore, sitting in this era is basically avoided as kneeling.

When standing, soldiers should hold their heads high and hold their chests high, with momentum like a rainbow.

The onlookers should bow their heads in front of the master, and should have enough aura in front of the subordinates to represent the Daqin community.

Another example is the walking posture, etc., in front of the master, one step behind, even if you are ahead, you should bow to lead the way, etc.

These are all rules and rituals.

Nowadays, many things have begun to change, and these rules will naturally have to change accordingly.

Like the previous kneeling posture, although it has not been cancelled, a new sitting posture has also been added.

That is, the sitting posture that scholars of later generations should have, with the whole body at ninety degrees or something.

All of the above basically indicate the changes in Daqin today, which can be described as ever-changing day by day, which is unimaginable.

"what!"

Ying Shou came to the desk, and before he could do anything, he suddenly discovered that on the big mahogany desk, there was a small pocket dagger, which was so short that it couldn't even be called a dagger.

"Is this all right?"

Ying Shou's heart moved, he sat down on the chair, reached for the short sword, opened it, and saw an eagle engraved on the sword.

"Come out!"

After playing with the pocket dagger carefully, Ying Shou suddenly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black shadow slowly appearing on the ground in the study room, and then, a figure quietly came behind him.

This person was wearing a black cloak, covering his whole body inside. As soon as Fang appeared, he respectfully kowtowed and said: "Hawkeye, the Lord of Darkness on the Black Ice Terrace, please refer to your majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live your majesty!"

This voice was full of air. Although the face of this person could not be seen clearly, it was certain that it should be a middle-aged man full of air.

"Hawkeye, is the arrangement complete?"

Ying Shou asked silently without turning his head.

"Return to Your Majesty, everything is ready. In the territory of Daqin, the Black Ice Terrace is shrouded, and four hundred iron eagle swordsmen are interspersed among the counties and counties, and more than four hundred contact points have been established. As long as His Majesty gives an order, any news designated, The iron eagle swordsman can be delivered within three days. Outside the Great Qin, it must arrive within seven days!"

Hawkeye said in a deep voice.

"Oh, so the outside of Great Qin has already been prepared?"

Ying Shou raised his eyebrows, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Hawkeye here has a gift for His Majesty, I believe His Majesty will be very satisfied!"

Tie Ying didn't answer, but took out a silk cloth and handed it to Ying Shoudao.
