Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 14

"Li Si met Master Wei." Li Si rushed to Wei Qing who had just entered the door with his front foot and his back foot was still outside the door, and saluted.

Wei Qing originally had a laid-back attitude and was very comfortable, but all of this disappeared suddenly, and he suddenly became terrified. He hurriedly stood up and saluted Li Si: "Xiaoxian Wei Qing met Mr. Li. Father Zhong How is the old man?"

Zhong's father is Lu Buwei. Now Lu Buwei's power is in the court. Before King Qin came to the court in person, he handles state affairs. It can be said that his power is greater than that of King Qin.At this time, Li Si was still a diner in Lu Buwei's mansion. In today's words, he had no money to eat, because Lu Buwei's supporters went to Lu's mansion to make a living.Of course, he is very talented, different from others, and he is very appreciated by Lu Buwei. He is a popular person in front of Lu Buwei. Wei Qing has been to the Lu Mansion and met Li Si once, knowing that he is a popular man in the Lu Mansion, so he dare not offend.

Wei Qing's behavior was completely different. His previous behavior was amiable and amiable, which made people feel good about him. Now when they met, Li Si stopped him, as if he was a child who made a mistake and was waiting for his parents to punish him.If it were another person, he would definitely be disdainful. Zhou Chong didn't have this kind of thinking. He knew very well that no matter it was the ancient officialdom or the current officialdom, they were all the same: cater to the superiors!This is an eternal talk of officialdom experience.

"Master Tuowei's blessing, Father Zhong is very kind." Li Si replied calmly with deep thoughts, his emotions and anger were invisible, and he turned sideways to invite: "Master Wei, please."

Wei Qing has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he understands the affairs in the officialdom very well. He said: "Mr. Li, Xiaoxian still has official business to deal with, so I will resign first. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

Li Si waved his hand to stop him and said: "Master Wei is serious. Master Wei, come and don't be indecent! If you come, you will be safe. Master Wei has come to the house. If you don't serve a cup of hot tea, you will laugh at us for neglecting the distinguished guests."

What he said was very polite, but the meaning in the words couldn't be more clear, that is, there is something to be done by Wei Qing, Wei Qing can't leave even if he wants to, so he can only say: "Since this is the case, Xiaoxian should be respectful rather than follow orders." Got it." Clasping his fists, he sounded offended.

Li Si personally handed Wei Qing a cup of tea, and Wei Qing once again said in awe, "I dare not work for Mr. Li. Mr. Li is such a small county."

"You mustn't say that." Li Si still looked calm, and said: "Master Wei is a distinguished guest, Li Si is a little humble, and he is really negligent. Please forgive me, Lord Wei."

Wei Qing carefully put the teacup on the table, organized his thoughts, and said: "Mr. Li, is there any place where Xiaoxian can help? If Xiaoxian is needed, please just ask, Xiaoxuan will do his best. "

"Master Wei is too serious, too serious." Li Si sat down with a smile, and said: "There is one thing I want to ask Mr. Wei for help, and please don't refuse Mr. Wei."

Wei Qing cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Li, please tell me."

"Don't dare to order." Li Si said to Zhou Chong: "Let Brother Zhou talk about this matter."

"You really know how to play football, so leave this to me." Zhou Chong thought in his heart, clasped his fists slightly, and said, "After discussing what Mr. Wei advocated, we think it is feasible. However, for this matter , this is the first time for us to participate, there are many things that we don't understand, and we have to ask Mr. Wei to enlighten us."

Zhou Chong was also a cunning man. He obviously wanted Wei Qing to contribute, but he spoke better than he sang. Li Si had no choice but to look at Zhou Chong with admiration. He glanced at Zhou Chong with approval.

Wei Qing understood Zhou Chong's meaning, not asking him to be a staff officer, but asking him to tell himself how much he can help, so he thought for a while and said: "The oil from the stone nest, and the snowflakes from the boiling water are the only ones that have happened since the beginning of the world. Something that has never happened before is a great thing for the country and the people. This matter cannot be hasty, but must be taken seriously. From the perspective of a small county, a large enough venue is required, and more people must be sent there. When necessary, we will Someone can be sent to maintain order."

Zhou Chong said with a smile: "My lord's words of gold and stone make people feel enlightened. However, Zhou Chong thinks that it is a good thing for us to send people to maintain order, but it may be wrong for you. Collusion, wouldn't it miss the future of adults."

This is to politely reject Wei Qing's kindness.It's not that Zhou Chong doesn't want it, but that he thinks it's unnecessary. If the noise is too loud, it's inevitable that he will attract the public's attention. If he talks nonsense to others, he will get a bad reputation instead.

The conferences over the years were nothing more than some sideshows, nothing new, just fun, and it was foreseeable that as long as Zhou Chong and the others made their appearance, it would definitely cause a sensation, and the crowd watching would be the inevitable result.When there are too many people, it is inevitable that something will happen. It is not superfluous to send someone to maintain order.Wei Qing worried: "Wouldn't it be a problem if there are bad people making trouble?"

Li Si smiled and said, "Your Majesty Wei, don't worry, Li Si has something to worry about, please let him consider it."

"Mr. Li, please explain." Wei Qing asked for advice: "Mr. Xiaoxian respects and listens to the teachings."

Li Sidao made a serious statement, and directly cut to the point, saying: "Master Wei, you can send more people to patrol. Baxian County is originally under the jurisdiction of the Lord, and maintaining order is the duty of the Lord, and there is nothing wrong with anyone."

This is only half said, and the other half is not said, that is, Zhou Chong's site is a key inspection area. In that case, it will be hidden and no one will make trouble, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Sir, Xiaoxian will keep it in mind." Wei Qing bid farewell, "Xiaoxian is involved in official business, so I will leave now. If there is any need for Xiaoxian to serve, please speak up."

The matter was settled, and there was no need to keep him, so Li Si didn't say anything else.Zhou Chong blinked at Zeng Shufa, Zhou Chong understood what he meant, and said: "Zhou Chong will send you off." He followed Wei Qing to the outside of the village, took out two gold cakes, and said: "My lord has worked hard all the way, it was very hard, Caomin I'm sorry, this little thing, please accept it, and buy some wine to moisten the throats of the brothers."

Since the time of King Qin Huiwen, the state of Qin began to mint money, which was divided into gold coins and copper coins.One gold cake is said to be equivalent to 20 taels, and another is said to be equivalent to 24 taels. No matter which one is said, two gold cakes are actually a lot.

Wei Qing glanced at the golden cake, and said coldly: "Master Zhou, who do you take this county for? This county is here to do a good deed for the Great Qin State, not for money, so I ask Master Zhou to take it back. "

Zhou Chong, who was born as an operating officer, has sent money and gifts to those competent departments. They all said so, but actually wanted it very much. Zhou Chong secretly smiled in his heart and said, "My lord is kind, I will report it later."

The meaning in the words couldn't be clearer, it means that this is a little meaning, the big head is behind, just don't worry.According to Zhou Chong's experience, generally speaking, when those people accept gifts, they first say something high-sounding, making people pretend to be grandsons again and again, and he accepts it "as a last resort".Then let's talk about the big truth, and finally boil it down to one sentence: From now on, I still have to honor Lao Tzu!

What Zhou Chong didn't expect was that Wei Qing's face changed, and he said: "Wei is an official, and he has been clean all his life. Although his salary is thin, it is enough to survive. Master Zhou, take your leave." He left with a flick of his sleeves.

Wei Qing's performance in front of Li Si made people not like him, but his current actions made people feel good about him. Zhou Chong said with emotion: "The official of the Qin State is as clean as this!" The following words are: "If I come In those days, officials were all... just fine!"
