Chapter 1077: One step at a time

A day later, Li Gui, covered in flesh and blood, was lying on an ox cart and was dragged into the experimental factory by the soldiers of the Criminal Department and thrown to the steward in charge of the slaves.

Two days later, Chen Xu came to the experimental factory and met Li Gui in a warehouse stacked with sundries.

Two days have passed, and Li Gui's condition seems to be much better, although he is covered in bandages like a mummy, he is already able to walk on the ground.

Retired from everyone, and when the door closed, Chen Xu looked at Li Gui directly.

"Li Gui greets Master Hou!" Li Guitong fell to his knees with a puff, and the violent movement caused more wounds to crack open, and blood continued to pour out of the bandages.

"The agency is too clever to calculate, but it cost Qingqing's life!" Chen Xu looked up to the sky and sighed, "Zhao Gao's temperament is as insidious and cunning as a jackal, Li Si and Zhao Gao made peace, it is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, harming others and ultimately harming yourself, your uncle and nephew eat the consequences, no wonder others, although Li Si and I have different political views, but I have not thought about harming him ......, alas, don't say it, Zhao Gao killed Li Si, you kill him now is considered revenge, Ben Hou left you with a life, do you know the intention?" ”

"Thank you Hou Ye for not killing, Li Gui is willing to obey Hou Ye from now on, and go to the soup to fight the fire!" Li Gui lay on the ground and kowtowed vigorously.

"Ben Hou acts above board, but many things can not be done in a fair and upright manner, Ben Hou left you alive because I want you to help me do one thing, if you complete this matter well, Ben Hou will give you a new identity to move elsewhere to live again, can you agree?"

"Li Gui betrayed Hou Ye in the past, so that his uncle and Li Gui were calculated by Zhao Gao, not only was his uncle poisoned to death by Zhao Gao, but Li Gui was almost bitten to death by him with a poisonous snake, and now Li Gui has avenged Zhao Gao for killing him, and there is no other thought from now on, he is willing to serve Hou Ye as a dog and horse, and I hope that Hou Ye can treat Li Gui's family well!" Li Gui choked and kowtowed.

"You get up, you have been recuperating in the factory recently, and after this autumn market is over, I will arrange for you to go to Yanmen Pass to help me investigate one thing, this matter is not trivial, you need to be extremely cautious and careful, once you show your feet, you may be killed......"

"Hou Ye rest assured, even if he is a returnee from the sword mountain and fire, he will not back down, and he will definitely complete the task arranged by Hou Ye!"

Li Gui stood up after kowtowing respectfully three times again, in the scattered messy hair, his nose was crooked, his cheeks were pitted, and his eyes were wooden without the slightest brilliance, which was completely similar to the young and handsome appearance at the beginning.

Chen Xu talked with Li Gui for only half an hour before leaving the project and returning, and when he left, he instructed the medical room of the factory to treat Li Gui carefully with the best medicine.

Almost half a year has passed since the incident in Yanmen County, and the guards and soldiers of Yanmen Pass are under the jurisdiction of Wang Li, it is certainly not easy to thoroughly investigate the affairs of Jingbian Temple, once the horse's feet are exposed, it may kill people, after all, many people have died, and Wang Li also wants to try his best to suppress this matter.

In fact, Chen Xu didn't want to leave Wang Li in this matter, the three martial marquis of the Wang family have great prestige in the army, the court and even the people, especially the soldiers of the Qin army, who respect Wang Jian and his son like gods, so as long as the Wang family does not rebel, the emperor will never move a finger of them, and Chen Xu will naturally not make a big enemy for himself in the army.

However, the reform of Great Qin has reached the current juncture, and continuing to promote reform will inevitably touch the army, because the foundation of Great Qin's stability and strength is the army, and today's army has begun to be not harmonious.

In the past time and space, after Qin II came to power, he was brutal and killed innocents, causing the world to rebel, the 300,000 troops guarding the northwest fled because of a large number of soldiers, and only 200,000 people followed Wang Li to the south to quell the rebellion, and the combat effectiveness was very poor, and Xiang Yu was defeated in several battles, and was finally captured, and the 500,000 troops guarding Lingnan were even more excessive, and the main generals Zhao Tuo and Ren Huan did not move, and directly sat back and watched the fall of Great Qin.

That is to say, after ten years of tranquility after the unification of Great Qin, the morale of the army has begun to slacken, and no matter the generals, it is too far from the Great Qin army when Great Qin conquered the Six Kingdoms, and he can't afford the title of Tiger and Wolf Division at all.

Therefore, if Chen Xu wants to maintain stability and prosperity in the long term of peace and stability in Great Qin, he must reform the army as soon as possible and establish a more advanced army structure and military system from top to bottom, so as to ensure the strong cohesion and combat effectiveness of the army.

If the results of this investigation achieve the goal, Chen Xu is determined to touch the emperor's forbidden place, and I believe that through this matter, the emperor can also see the shortcomings of the current military system.

Tens of thousands of businessmen and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people gather in the market area on the south bank of the Wei River every day, and the sound of bustling and noisy noise resounded for dozens of miles.

The story of a royal doctor in the palace who left the palace in the middle of the night and was killed by a beggar, and caused the fire to burn seven mansions, soon spread among the people.

The most discussed among the common people is why the imperial doctor sneakily ran to the haunted mansion in the middle of the night, and many people added fuel and vinegar to spread countless versions, some people said that Miao Yi was detained by ghosts and ghosts, some people said that Miao Yi was caught in the evil and climbed into the sewers, anyway, none of the various speculations were reliable, and even some families began to compile a story of ghosts and ghosts to prepare for submission to Daqin Metropolis Daily to win people's attention.

Unlike the commoners, princes and wealthy businessmen were almost all fixed on the large plot of land that had been burned to the ground.

The owners of these seven mansions are either princes and princes or royalty, except for Zhao Gao's ownerless building, the others are all considered to have owners, but they have been idle for a few years because of haunting.

And the owners of several houses have also been quite depressed and annoyed these days.

Repair it, you can't afford it, now the price of Xianyang is high, it is not the state it was a few decades ago, and ordinary princes and princes can't afford the cost of bricks and stones.

The name of Qin bricks and Han tiles is not boasted, the civil structure affects the architectural pattern of the whole China for thousands of years, the carved beams and paintings of the building and the arches and cornices are all exquisite, and there are exquisite patterns on each brick and tile, and the mural decoration is everywhere.

Therefore, in addition to opening bricks, tiles, wood and stones, the construction of a large mansion covering an area of 100 acres can not be borne by labor costs alone, this is a private house, the emperor cannot help repair it, all the money can only be paid by himself.

If you don't repair it, then basically this land will have nothing to do with itself, and in the south of the city, where every inch of land is valuable, you won't be able to get a piece of land in the future.

Some people are entangled, some people are happy, and there is naturally only one person who is happy, and that is Chen Xu, the Marquis of Qinghe.

After the dust settled on Zhao Gao's matter, when the Lieutenant's Mansion was still cleaning up the remnants of the fire, Chen Xu had already gone to the scene for two consecutive days, and he was also blatantly holding a stack of drawings with Hu Kuan and others to point at the scene, and the mood was high.

And when Chen Xu's movement reached the ears of Qi Tang, Zhao Yi and others, the owners of these houses were even more depressed.

It seems that Qinghe Hou has taken a fancy to this large piece of treasure land, even if he has scraped together enough money and wants to repair the house, he still has to consider it again, and now Daqin can offend anyone, and he must not offend Qinghe Hou.

"Master Hou, legend has it that this street is haunted, you build a library here, will people not dare to come to read?" Hu Kuan asked cautiously.

"It is precisely because of the haunting, so this place can only be built as a library and a university, the ghost is a ghost, gathered into a haunting, Ben Hou will set up a yin and yang gossip array to suppress, any small ghosts are not allowed to approach, otherwise, once the house is built here, the ghosts will reunite, and the house will still be haunted and make people uneasy, and even affect the feng shui of the entire Xianyang City!" Chen Xu explained with a serious and serious face.

"I see, Hou Ye actually wants to use the immortal method to suppress the ghosts, now I can rest assured!" Hu Kuan breathed a sigh of relief along with several craftsmen.

Chen Xu's words naturally spread out quickly, and all kinds of folk discussions immediately changed the direction of the wind, and they began to discuss the matter of Qinghe Hou using the Immortal Family Great Array to suppress ghosts, and one by one they said that they had noses and eyes, and some people even told that Qinghe Hou would ask Taiyi Immortal Venerable to send down divine thunder to dispel ghosts and ghosts.

And after the owners of several houses heard this, the depression in their hearts gradually turned into apprehension and fear.

In particular, a few of them also planned to take out a loan to raise money to repair the house, and they directly strangled this idea to death, if it was repaired and still haunted, wouldn't it be to cry to death.

As the autumn market slowly came to an end, late autumn was approaching, the weather was slowly becoming colder and colder, and the use of the land in the south of the city was slowly emerging.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately made the tens of thousands of disciples gathered in Xianyang so excited that they almost fried the pot, in addition to a group of high-level celebrities from several universities and newspapers, even ordinary scribes among the people were also excited, and began to inquire and exchange more specific information.

Preparing to build a library of this scale is almost something that the world's scholars dare not think of, even at the imperial court level, there has never been such an idea.

Today, Great Qin has a department dedicated to the management of court books.

The first is the imperial historian, that is, Chen Xu's cheap old man Meng Yi's supervision province, in addition to supervising hundreds of officials, there is also to help the emperor manage all the books, edicts and important atlases, classics, decrees, etc., of course, Meng Yi manages important palace books, belonging to the emperor and the court's exclusive book department.

The second is the doctor's hall in charge of the servant shooting, there are a lot of books in it, but most of them are folk books, hundreds of classics and historical books, the supervisor is the servant shooting Zhou Qingchen, now under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, many doctors in the doctor's hall are today's celebrities, mostly Confucianism, the historical records record that there are seventy Confucian doctors, because of the burning of books in the court to fight with Li Si Chun Yuyue is one of them, is the great Confucian, both in the court and the people are very famous.

And it was precisely because Chun Yuyue and Zhou Qingchen had a conflict at the banquet of the First Emperor and attacked each other that Li Si proposed the policy of burning books, and the disciples of the hundred schools resisted and angered Qin Shi Huang, and then buried many people.

However, this matter is impossible to happen in this time and space, Li Si's strategy of burning books was blocked by Chen Xu at the beginning, and now Li Si has also become an ancient, and the hundred disciples who jumped up and down all day in Xianyang a few years ago have also been ambushed by Chen Xu with various means, and now Daqin has no big hidden dangers in the cultural class, and the hidden dangers have begun to shift to the cornerstone of maintaining the stability of Daqin...... on the army.

After several years of reform, today's Great Qin is completely different from Chen Xu's first arrival, and it is not even the same era of Great Qin at all.

In particular, the development of Xianyang dazzled everyone.

Xianyang is not only the largest city in Daqin, but also the most prosperous city, and it is also the political and economic center of the country.

The emergence of the library will greatly enhance the centripetal force and cohesion of Daqin for the reading and literate class, and will also greatly enhance the image of Xianyang as a Beijing teacher, and will attract more celebrities and sages who live in seclusion in the countryside to come to Xianyang to join the imperial court and contribute to the construction of the country.

Inheriting the concept of a hundred schools, integrating a hundred cultures, creating a prosperous and prosperous era where a hundred schools of thought contend, finding a unique governing strategy of Daqin, and taking a completely different road to strengthening the country and enriching the people from later generations are Chen Xu's ambitions and aspirations, and now this goal is being realized step by step.

Jingshi University and this library must be inclusive, equal and harmonious.

His blueprint was the Jixia School Palace of the original Qi State, which used the debates of different cultures and different ideas to create and give birth to a statecraft that was more in line with the Great Qin.

At the beginning of the Jixia School Palace in the prosperity of the time, almost brought together all the schools of thought in the hundred schools of thought, gathered as many as 1,000 sage disciples, Xunzi, Mencius, Zou Zi and other famous scholars are from it, compiled hundreds of books that have been handed down to future generations, so that the Chinese civilization at the end of the Warring States period appeared a most brilliant civilization explosion, and this cultural explosion, but also gave birth to countless practical statecraft, cultivated a large number of capable people, Daqin can have the ability to have the opportunity to unify China, from the Jixia School Palace Xunzi is indispensable.

The main reason why Qi State has such a powerful academic think tank as the Jixia School Palace, but in the end it missed the opportunity, and it has to be sighed, the main reason is that the Jixia School Palace established by Qi State only listens to the arguments and statecraft of these famous people, while the Qin State implements a completely opposite strategy, just use it.

The Qin State implements the principle of pragmatism, the Mohists use the Mohists when they are practical, the others are not used, the Legalists use the Legalists if they are good, and the others must be defeated.

Nowadays, if Daqin wants to prosper and develop, the Jixia School Palace, an academic institution with a controversial and exploratory nature, is very instructive, and it is necessary to set up a library, form a Beijing Normal University, build a large auditorium, integrate the theories of the hundred schools of thought together to carry out debates, and use pure academic arguments to explore the methods of governing the country, to justify the meaning of the clear Tao, so that the disciples of the hundred schools of thought will eventually have the opportunity to participate in the governance of the country, and finally form a kind of government department with a consultative nature, so that the imperial court can get a lot of guidance for governing the country.

As for the eventually, it will be interesting to see what kind of institution this auditorium will slowly evolve into.
