The debate in the court lasted for more than an hour, and the two people who argued were also dry-mouthed, and finally they both felt that they were running out of words before ending the debate.

And the middle-aged man kneeling on the dragon couch also listened for more than an hour, and his face did not have the slightest impatience.

This is the current Emperor of Great Qin, the Chinese ancestral dragon who is worshiped and admired by all the people of China, and the first emperor Yingzheng.

"That's the end of today's debate, stand aside for the time being!" Qin Shi Huang raised his hand, and the two people who had finished the argument hurriedly saluted and exited the main hall.

"What do you think?" Qin Shi Huang's fierce eyes swept over all the ministers in the main hall.

Zuo Prime Minister Li Si stood up and arched his hand, "The minister thinks that the words of Confucianism are sympathetic and vain, vainly saying that human nature is good, vainly trying to educate and enlighten the people, to rule the people with virtue, to discipline themselves with virtue, he does not know that Xunzi once said that human nature is evil, the world is bustling, everyone has selfishness, so it is impossible to implement the Confucian concept, otherwise it is not good for the country and the people, to make the government decree smooth and the people obey, but also need more stringent laws, so that the people can plough their fields, the pawns keep their responsibilities, the merchants do their goods, and the soldiers will obey their orders, these Confucian scholars travel the world all day long to teach and teach apprentices, If you don't respect the law, he will cause trouble in the future, I hope Your Majesty will see it! ”

"The minister thinks that the implementation of the law should not be too impatient, such as the establishment of the people of the people, when it is the time of cultivation and raising the people, the people in the mountains and fields do not understand the law and do not understand the law, the law is too strict, the punishment must be too heavy, the people do not know the law and think that His Majesty is not sympathetic to the people's livelihood, Confucian scholars and scholars study and teach, naturally can also promote various laws and regulations, and all the people can abide by the law only if they know the law, so the minister thinks that the law must be slowly pushed to be effective." The right prime minister, Feng Qu, stood up with an expressionless face and said.

The next group of ministers were also divided into two factions, some supported Li Si and some supported Feng Quji, all of whom whispered.

"The two Aiqing are reasonable, this matter will be discussed later, do you have anything important to report?" Qin Shi Huang did not express any opinion after asking, and the two prime ministers changed the topic after giving one of them a piece of candy.

"Your Majesty, now the road to Nanyang is not going well, the mountains are steep and dense, there is a lack of a large number of logging tools, coupled with the heavy rain for several days, the roadbed has collapsed in many places, and there is a summer plague, and the slaves have been killed and injured very much, and more manpower is needed!" Shaofu ordered the regular list of reports.

Qin Shi Huang frowned and said, "Then 30,000 people will be recruited from the three counties of Sanchuan, Hanzhong, and Nanyang to supplement again." ”

"Your Majesty, now is the time for the summer grain harvest, if a large number of people are recruited again, I am afraid that the grain harvest in these three counties will be delayed!" Zhisu Nei Shi Gaoteng stood up.

"The minister seconded the proposal, the three counties of Sanchuan, Hanzhong, and Nanyang are the main grain producing areas of our Great Qin, and Qin Chudao has already transferred a lot of people, and the minister suggested that it be transferred from the northern counties such as Handan and Taiyuan." Feng Qujian also stood up and said.

"Accurate!"

"Your Majesty, Nanyang County sent a logging weapon half a month ago, which can speed up the logging speed by several times, if a large number of equipment is built, the minister thinks that there is no need to recruit so many additional people!" Neshi Qi got up and played.

"Oh, and this matter, why not report it early!" Qin Shi Huang was stunned for a moment and asked.

"The minister also learned about this yesterday, the improved copper saw sent by the Nanyang County Guard was abandoned in the miscellaneous room of the office by the iron official Cheng Liu Kuang, and yesterday there was a small official to report to the minister that he knew, and after verification, he found that it was five or six times faster than the previous copper saw felling speed, and it was easy and labor-saving!" Qi Tang hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, Liu Kuang, such a sharp weapon, dared to hide it and not report it, it is recommended to punish him severely!" Li Si's voice was unfazed.

"Quasi~, hand it over to Ting Wei at your disposal!"

"Nei Shi Qi is not strict under his control, and he should be punished together!" The craftsman made the left middle of the young mansion and the merchant painted out of the column.

"There are all the crimes of Qi Tang Gong in this matter, Qi Tang, I order you to wear the guilt and make meritorious service, and quickly organize craftsmen to build and improve the copper saw and distribute it, if Qin Chu Chi Dao cannot be completed on time, you will be punished together!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qi Tang fell to the ground and choked.

"Also, the craftsman who improved the copper saw will be rewarded, and this matter will be handled by Shang Zhongcheng!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, there is news from Daijun that there was a riot in the fifth day of last month, destroying the Great Wall of Yanzhao for nearly 100 meters, killing the prison army ......"

With the passage of time, one by one the ministers began to report on their respective affairs, Qin Shi Huang listened to and disposed of everything one by one, and the time was at noon in a flash, and then the dynasty dispersed.

After Zuo Prime Minister Li Si walked out of the court hall, he hurried to the servants and carriages who were already waiting outside the court, and stood in the hall for a long time, he was already hungry.

"Master, Yuliang Gong has a letter, inviting you to go to the academy and say that there is something important to discuss!" After getting into the carriage, an old servant came up and whispered.

Li Si frowned slightly and said, "Let's go back to the house and eat some snacks first!" ”

"Yes~" The old servant agreed, and then waved the coachman to drive away.

Half an hour later, the two-wheel-drive carriage, escorted by more than a dozen guards on tall horses, swords and halberds, left the south gate of Xianyang and descended the Wei River, bumping a few miles along an uneven dirt road before entering a wooded forest.

An Yuliang had been waiting for a long time, and his usually innocent and indifferent mind was quite confused, and he saw the arrival of the carriage and hurriedly greeted him.

And more than a dozen guards quickly dispersed, monitoring the entire academy without any dead ends.

"Li Si has seen Senior Brother!" After Li Si got out of the car, he bowed to An Yuliang.

"No need to be polite, junior brother come with me!" Although Yuliang Fair Day didn't like Li Si, he seemed a little excited at this time, and grabbed Li Si's arm and walked into the wooden building.

Li Sigui is the prime minister of Great Qin, with a high and powerful position, many domestic affairs, and he is busy every day, and the two have different ideas, so they haven't seen each other for almost two years.

What made him strange was that in the hot summer, there was a charcoal stove in the room, and the fire was in full swing, and there was a clay pot on it, which was boiling and boiling, so as soon as he walked into the room, a wave of heat came to his face, and sweat came out all at once.

"Senior brother, why is this?" After Li Si sat down helplessly, he asked puzzled while fanning the wind with his sleeve.

"Senior brother, wait a minute!"

After An Yuliang closed the door, he knelt down with a serious face, opened a bamboo tube and grabbed a handful of black and swarthy things from it and put them into a clay pot, and then poured the boiling water on the stove into it, and with a hot steam rising in the air, the room became more and more stuffy, but Li Si was shocked, looked at the clay pot and asked in surprise: "Senior brother, what did you put in just now, how could it emit such a strange fragrance?" ”

"Wait!" An Yuliang still didn't answer, closed the lid of the crockpot, and simmered for two or three minutes before opening, and suddenly a stronger fragrance filled the whole room.
