76 Wenxin Marquis Mansion

The title of Qin was closely linked to the homestead. Later, due to frequent wars, often this side had just settled down, and there were new meritorious contributions, so that the meritorious people moved frequently! Lü Buwei made new adjustments to the housing. Officials below the rank of Grand Doctor shall solve the housing problem on their own, or the department shall arrange collective dormitories. From the fifth to the ninth level, the maximum amount of residence subsidized by the government or purchased by oneself shall not exceed 25 hectares. The title of the tenth level of the left chief or above will be given to the mansion by the government. The area is between seventy-four and eighty-two hectares. A hundred-hectare dwelling is only enjoyed by the nineteenth-level Kannaihou. Only the twenty-level Chehou can have a fief, and he can build another mansion in the fief.

Therefore, if it is a horse house, the title of Montenegro is far from enough. But princes and princesses have their own titles! As long as the king of Qin is happy, except for the marquis of Che, he can be rewarded.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Wenxin is mainly divided into three parts, the front is the office of the prime minister, there are carriage and horse farms, the main hall, the archives, and the office of the subordinate officials, etc., covering an area of about 20 hectares. In the middle is more than 100 small courtyards, surrounded by a large hall. This is the place where Lü Buwei raised 3,000 guests and repaired the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", covering an area of about 40 hectares. The last few entrances are where the Lu family lives, with gardens and ponds covering about 40 hectares.

Montenegro was listening to Zhang Cang's opinion, and his family came to report: "The head of Salted Fish Juhuai said that he must see you if he has something important!" ”

"Nope!" Montenegro said. In the past few days, everyone who has been photographed has come to visit, and Montenegro is already annoyed. After a while, the family came to report again: "The man is not leaving, saying that he is willing to wait for a few days." ”

Montenegro thought about it for a while, this person who was in charge was not an unreasonable person. Since he said this, there must be something, so he said, "Let him in!" ”

Montenegro met Master Huai in the guest room, and he didn't talk nonsense, he told the store guys what they heard, and said: "The two of them have been regular customers recently, and the guys all know each other, the younger one is Li You, the son of Li Si, and the other is Li Weixu, the Qintianjian of Qintian, and I am here to inform you." Leave! ”

"Thank you! Next time you have something, you can find Zhang Jin first, or Lieutenant Meng Hao! I don't send it! "Montenegro is not an unkind person. When these words are spoken, it means that they recognize the matter of Lord Huai.

Montenegro, accompanied by Zhang Cang, visited the Changwen Marquis Mansion. The plaque at the door has been taken off for eight years, and the style is still the same. There are still thirty old officials and servants living in the mansion who clean day and night. Seeing someone coming, an old man with a white beard came to salute. Montenegro asked him to lead the way and introduce him. These people are all old people from the Changwen Marquis Mansion, and because they are too old, they did not move to Sanchuan County. Instead, he was left as an official servant to guard the mansion.

The old man gushed and introduced: "This carriage and horse farm can park a hundred carriages. Ten years ago, it was full of horse-drawn carriages from all over the world.

"This is the hall where Lu Xiangbang deals with daily government affairs, and here is the archives building, and the files in it are often accessed by officials. These three buildings are library buildings, each of which still has a collection of about 200,000 books. ”

The whole hall of Montenegro is full of countless books, and the rows and rows are neat and tidy, which is very spectacular. Each row has a specific label. The floor is very clean and there is no trace of dust. Charcoal and white lime are placed underneath to keep the books dry. The long pieces of kudzu cloth on top of the books are covered with dust. "These cloths were bought by more than 30 of us with all our savings and food rations." The old man said proudly, "Xiang Bang confessed before leaving, these three libraries are the treasures he left to the Great Qin Empire!" Let's watch it! ”

"Old man, it's rare that you are so willing to protect these hundreds of thousands of books. You are not only protecting the wealth of the Qin Empire, but the civilization of all of China! Your suffering will not be in vain. I'm going to find a way to preserve them. Montenegro said to the old people with emotion. He turned to Zhang Jin and said, "Now go buy some grain, meat, and vegetables and send them here, we can't let these meritorious people starve." ”

"Thank you," said the old man, "the house here is regularly repaired by the Shaofu, and it is now well preserved!" ”

After looking around Montenegro, I found that there was no need to rebuild the garden and pond at all, just tidy up the garden and pond, paint it up, and put on new furniture!

The next day, Montenegro came to the palace gate to wait for the summons of the King of Qin. Although he was not yet married, the palace gatekeeper had already regarded him as a colt, and the officials in the gatehouse, when they saw Montenegro, also got up and saluted one after another, with an extremely respectful attitude. Montenegro was very unaccustomed to it, so he could only be patient and polite to everyone for a while, and the palace gate officials soon came to invite Montenegro to enter.

King Qin's study was already stacked with several large boxes of bamboo slips.

Seeing Montenegro coming in, King Qin put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his tired eyes! said in a very cordial tone: "Wang Juan will set off tomorrow to welcome your teacher to Xianyang, I originally wanted you to go together, but I think this will make people misunderstand that it is because of you that the widow invited Meng Zhao to Xianyang, and lowered the identity of Master Meng." Therefore, I will let Fusu and Wang Juan go. A prime minister and an eldest son, shouldn't despise your teacher? ”

"Wang, in fact, you don't have to, the teacher promised me to enter Xianyang this winter half a year ago. Besides, he is not pedantic at all, and he will not pay too much attention to these false courtesies! Montenegro replied.

"Meng Fuzi is informal, but there are still so many scholars in the world watching? I welcomed him into Xianyang with a grand ceremony, and I also showed the countries of Shandong that Daqin was the most respectful. Look at what kind of people the Shandong scholars say the widow is? It is said that the voice of the widow's chicken breast and eyes is like that of a jackal. He also said that the widow was good at drinking, lustful, and indiscriminately killing ministers. It is said that the widow killed twenty-eight ministers in a row ten years ago to persuade the widow to reconcile with the queen mother. I really want to arrest them and ask them, twenty-eight ministers, but I can say a real name and surname, and the widow apologizes to the world. Some people also say that the widow forced his mother to hang herself. King Qin said with a wry smile, his face full of loneliness and helplessness.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Great Qin is too short of talents. Since the Shang monarch changed the law, he burned the books of the hundred schools of thought, resulting in the Qin people only knowing how to cultivate and fight, and the style of writing was too far worse than that of Shandong countries, which was too dangerous. In fact, we all misunderstood Shang Jun, when Shang Jun roughly changed the law, there were only more than ten counties in Daqin, with less than 2 million people, and they fled everywhere, and private fighting became a trend. In order to put an end to the superfluous ideas of the common people, Shang Jun devoted himself to the farming war, and formulated the decree of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing the burning of books by merchants, so that the whole country could only know the farming war. Today, Daqin has 15 million people, 20 counties and 100 counties. You can use the Qin sword to fight the world, and you have to rely on the pen to govern the world! There is now a shortage of civil servants everywhere. In another three or five years, after the unification of the world, who will help you govern the world? If Shang Jun is still here, he will definitely open the palace and cultivate talents for the empire. Montenegro said.

"Wang Juan has already reminded the widow many times, back then, the middle father Lu Buwei recruited talents from all over the world in Xianyang, raising 3,000 guests, in the end, how many people can be loyal to Daqin?" King Qin sighed.

"Your Majesty, Lü Buwei's law is a way to bring disaster to the country and the people, and it cannot be imitated. There is a law for ministers, which can ensure a steady stream of talents and long-term peace and stability in Daqin. Montenegro said.

"Tell me about it!" King Qin's eyes lit up suddenly.

"The introduction of waterwheels and cattle farming has saved a lot of labor. We can have a junior school open in all the pavilions and alleys of Daqin, so that children between the ages of eight and twelve can read and write and learn simple calculations. Through the assessment, take the excellent grades to the township and county intermediate school, so that they can learn higher knowledge, and those who pass the grades can be the township, pavilion, and the small officials. Then those with better grades will go to senior schools in each county to specialize in law, astronomy, geography, computing, industry, commerce and other professional knowledge, and those who pass the grades can become officials in the county or county. Then take the best grades, go to Xianyang to study at university, learn more advanced knowledge, those who pass the grades, can go to the counties, counties to become officials, excellent political achievements can be generals, into the prime minister to serve the empire. In this way, all talents, big and small, can serve the country, which not only solves the dilemma that there are no talents to use, but also reduces the need for people to play right and wrong. Montenegro said.

"It makes sense, go back and let Jiuqing discuss it together, draft a decree, and then promote it. Your teacher is going to Xianyang, how do you think the widow should be arranged? King Qin asked again.

"Chen's teacher is rich and rich, and his greatest wish in life is to be like Confucius, with three thousand disciples, and there is no class in teaching. I wanted to convert most of the Mansion into a palace and a library. Let Chen's teacher be there to cultivate talents for the empire, which should be what he is most willing to do! Montenegro replied.

"Why, do you also want to learn from Lu Buwei and come to the door for three thousand?" King Qin asked, this sentence was meaningful.

"What do you want three thousand guests for? Chen Gang said that Lü Buwei's way of raising guests is the way to disrupt the country. The three thousand guests only recognize Wen Xinhou, and only Wen Xin Hou is the first to look forward. Great detriment to the country. Montenegro said, "This palace of learning, named by the king, is appropriated for a fee, and the teacher is only responsible for imparting knowledge. It can be taught by soldiers, law, agriculture, medicine, and Mexico. The king is personally responsible for the assessment, and those with excellent grades are personally awarded official positions by the king. They only know the great grace of the king of Qin, and they only take the Qin state as a blessing. Not anyone's doorman. Montenegro told the story of more than 30 old officials and servants still sticking to the Hou Mansion and starving to protect 600,000 books.

"You have such understanding, the widow is very pleased! If Lü Buwei had understood this back then, the widow would never have given him up for what happened to him. If the widow hadn't stopped him in advance, I don't know how many doormen would have stirred him up to rebel, and then his whole clan would have died. King Qin said, "After it is changed to a school palace, less than half of the Four Princesses' Mansion remains, how can it be enough?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are still forty acres of mansions and hundreds of rooms in the back, not to mention the ministers, princesses, and mothers, even if they move their relatives within the five suits of the ministers, they can't live there." Montenegro replied.

"In that case, too! When you are sealed in the future, the widow will give you another mansion! Now the population of Xianyang has reached 2 million! It's hard to find a vacant land! King Qin sighed.

"The minister has nothing else to do, farewell!" When Montenegro had said what he had to say, he got up and saluted goodbye.

"Oh! This year, there is a plum blossom in the back garden of the palace, which blooms a month earlier than usual. It's beautiful! You should check it out too! Xiao Shunzi, take Montenegro to the back garden and enjoy the plum blossoms! King Qin smiled ambiguously, didn't wait for Montenegro to answer, and directly asked the chamberlain to take Xiao Shunzi to the back garden.

Montenegro was also confused, and he couldn't figure out what King Qin meant, and he couldn't help but go. I had to follow Xiao Shunzi to the back garden. Seeing that there was no one next to him, he asked, "Xiao Shunzi, is there something wrong with the king asking me to come to the back garden?" ”

Xiao Shunzi said with a smile: "Early this morning, the fourth princess came to the study, beating King Qin's back for a while, and pinching her legs for a while. It made King Qin unable to approve the performance. King Qin asked her what was the matter! She didn't answer. Later, the palace gate official came to report and said that you would like to enter the palace and please see you. The fourth princess said happily, "There is a plum tree in the back garden, it has bloomed this year, and she is going to the back garden to enjoy the plum blossoms." ”

When Montenegro heard it, this King Qin clearly let him come to the back garden to have a tryst with the four princesses! It just so happened that I also wanted to see how beautiful the fourth princess was, and I was very looking forward to it, but also a little nervous.
