Chapter 22: The Opening of the House
"Congratulations to Zhao Xiang!"
At this moment, no matter what everyone felt in their hearts, they had to congratulate Zhao Heng with a smile on their faces.
"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Heng also turned around, bowed slightly towards Ying Zheng, and bowed solemnly.
From this moment on, he was the prime minister of Great Qin, second only to the First Emperor Yingzheng in power, and even the left minister Li Si and the right minister Feng Qujian were all inferior to him.
To be honest, although he has been in this era for three years, he actually does not have much sense of belonging in his heart.
There is always an inexplicable sense of loneliness, which is the main reason why he will strive to make the cottage into a modern walled city.
Only in this way can he feel that he is not out of place in this era.
And now, he finally has a sense of belonging to this era.
It's not just because he got a phase, or became the only marquis of ten thousand households in Great Qin, but because from this moment on, there is a huge responsibility on his shoulders, as well as the absolute trust given by Yingzheng.
He knew that every decision he made next, and even every word he said, might be related to the society of Great Qin, and would be able to determine the well-being of the people of the world.
"I am now the prime minister of Great Qin, and I will surely enrich the people and strengthen the country, so that Great Qin will live forever!"
Zhao Heng's gaze turned, looked down at the 100,000 army below, and said solemnly.
"Great Qin will last forever!"
When Li Si and the others below heard this, they were slightly stunned at first, and then shouted in unison.
At this moment, everyone's blood is hot!
"With the assistance of Mr. Jinde, I will surely create a great cause for all generations, and my great Qin will also prosper for all generations!"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but boil his blood at this moment.
Since he ruled the world, he has ascended the throne as the first emperor, and he has hardly been so excited and enthusiastic as he is today.
Looking back on the past, he was full of ambition and inherited the legacy of the sixth generation.
In the end, he swept the six kingdoms, destroyed the six kings, and created the prosperous Great Qin.
From then on, the world is unified, the book is the same text, the car is on the same track, and the uniformity is measured!
However, although the six countries are peaceful, the remnants have not been cleared, and internal worries are numerous.
The north chases the Xiongnu, the south town is Baiyue, and the external troubles are not stopped.
For this reason, he built the Great Wall and opened the road, but was criticized for harsh government.
The people suffer from forced labor, and they are afraid of Qin law like a tiger, he is not ignorant, but it is difficult to change.
For the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, for the sake of the eternal Great Qin, he must insist.
I don't know when he stopped being enthusiastic and physically and mentally exhausted.
Especially in recent years, his health has deteriorated, and those three cursed mysteries have made it impossible for him to focus all his energy on state affairs.
The reason why he is struggling to find the way to live forever is not that he is afraid of death, but that he does not dare to die, because Daqin has not yet achieved a peaceful and prosperous era, and the heir Gongzi Fusu is actually at odds with his concept of governance, which makes him even more reluctant to die.
Fortunately, God had mercy on him, and he was fortunate enough to meet the immortals.
The appearance of Mr. Zhao Heng, the Red Dust Fairy, not only cured his serious illness, but also ignited the blood in his heart again.
He firmly believed that with the assistance of Mr. Zhao Heng, Daqin would be able to conquer the whole world, become an empire on which the sun never sets, and would be able to prosper for all generations.
……
Three days later, Zhao Heng drove towards Xianyang with the army under the reluctant eyes of more than 10,000 villagers.
Since he is already the prime minister of Great Qin, he naturally can't stay in a small walled city anymore, and must go to Xianyang, the capital of Great Qin, in order to better display his ambitions.
Of course, he will not only not give up the walled city, but will also work harder to build it into an industrial and military base.
Steam engines and generators will continue to be developed, and muskets and artillery will continue to be perfected.
Even the three thousand city guards and Xuanyi guards will be retained.
It can be said that no matter where he can go in the future, the Walled City will be his base camp.
Along the way, Zhao Heng can be said to have endured everyone's envy, jealousy and hatred.
There's no way, who let him get the special treatment of Yingzheng and ride in the same car.
"Sir, would you like to ride with me?"
At that time, just Ying Zheng's words completely made Li Si, Zhao Gao and others red.
Zhao Heng naturally had no hypocrisy, and got into Yingzheng's car directly.
In other words, others may be afraid of the power of the First Emperor and dare not ride with him.
Zhao Heng will not be like this, because he can feel Ying Zheng's sincerity, if he can't refuse, it will make Ying Zheng feel that he is deliberately alienating.
It took two months to rush before the army finally arrived in Xianyang.
"Looks like the train has to be built as soon as possible."
Zhao Heng thought helplessly in his heart.
It took two months just to get from the Walled City to Xianyang, and if you need to inspect all parts of the country in the future, how much time will it take?
Even, when Great Qin conquered the whole world, if there were no means of transportation such as trains, ships, and airplanes, how could he manage the huge territory?
After arriving in Xianyang, the first thing Zhao Heng had to do was to open a mansion!
According to the system of Daqin, the prime minister can set up a number of offices in the prime minister's office according to his own needs.
In this way, when he is in the office, he will not be constrained by any high-ranking officials, including the left and right ministers.
It can be said that whether Zhao Heng is implementing universal education or reforming the law in the future, he only needs to report to Yingzheng alone.
It's just that when he first arrived in Xianyang, he didn't have his own mansion at all.
So, Ying Zheng directly gave him Lü Buwei's old prime minister's mansion.
After some simple repairs, Zhao Heng finally officially opened the mansion.
On this day, Ying Zheng personally came to the scene.
The six-by-dragon chariot is in front, the Xuanjia guards are behind, and the ministers are accompanying them.
On both sides of the road, it was crowded with people who came to see the excitement.
After more than two months of fermentation, the news that Daqin has one more prime minister has already spread throughout Daqin.
Especially when I heard that this prime minister is not only the Marquis of Wanhu who has a closed city, but also only eighteen years old, the people are even more curious.
Of course, what they are most concerned about is what the administrative philosophy of the prime minister is.
The original left and right phases of Daqin, the right minister Feng Qujian basically didn't care too much about political affairs, while the left minister Li Si opposed the feudal system and insisted on the county system.
He also advocated the burning of Zhuzi doctrines such as "poems" and "books" in private collections, the prohibition of private learning, in order to strengthen the rule of thought, and supported the strict Qin law.
It is worth mentioning that Li Si's contributions are very great in terms of the same text, the same track, the measurement of unity, as well as the formulation of small seal official documents and the construction of galloping roads.
Most of the people present should have hoped in their hearts that the first prime minister of Great Qin would be able to lenient punishment, light forced labor, and light taxes.
"Sir, no matter what you do next, I will definitely support you!"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ying Zheng said to Zhao Heng.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, many of the things I want to do next will definitely touch the interests of the nobles and wealthy families, and even the royal family, when the time comes, I'm afraid it will ......."
