Chapter 322: I'd rather not be able to do it than be an evil law

Fifty miles away is only an hour, Chen Xu sat in the carriage and talked and laughed with Fusu, and it was still seven or eight miles away, and he could see the flags and towers flying at the head of Xianyang City through the trees that had fallen all the leaves.

And with the march of the team, soon saw that outside the east gate of Xianyang, there were already a forest of cars and horses with flags rolling, thousands of forbidden troops lined up for miles on both sides to wait, and in front of the city gate, dozens of carriages were lined up neatly, the first car was driven by the Son of Heaven with six horses, Qin Shi Huang was dressed in a black Xuanyi, wearing a crown and sitting on it, looking at the team slowly coming on the opposite side, with a relieved smile on his face.

And at this time, a few miles away from the city gate, the dense Xianyang people and hundreds of scholars also heard the wind and poured out of the city to see the excitement, I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor will lead the civil and military officials and the princess to wait outside the city today?

It was only when they looked at a forbidden army from afar and saw a luxurious carriage led by them, and many of them who knew how to do it immediately began to whisper in surprise.

"It's very strange, isn't this the car of the eldest prince Fusu? Why did the emperor welcome the prince into Xianyang, this is incredible, right? ”

"Indeed, since ancient times, I have never heard of the principle of a father welcoming a son!"

"I heard last month that His Royal Highness Fusu went to Nanyang County, I don't know why?"

"I know a thing or two about this, I heard that I went to meet the disciples of the Immortal Family!" A thirty scribes said.

"Immortal disciple?" Countless people around exclaimed.

"In March, the first emperor toured the southeast, watched the song and dance in the Qinghe Theater in Wancheng, and heard that the Taiyi god thunder fell from the sky on the same day......"

"This matter has already been spread all over the world, not a false rumor, a certain person went to see it in person, and a big pit exploded on the ground at the place where the divine thunder fell, revealing the Taiyi Divine Monument, and the emperor went to worship in person that day!"

"Could it be that the person who came here is really a disciple of the Immortal Family?"

"**Don't leave ten, I'll wait to get closer, and I'll see the immortal face of the immortal disciple later, and I'll get a little immortal!"

Seeing that the convoy of the eldest prince Fusu was getting closer and closer, the people watching became more and more excited, and various versions of the news also spread rapidly among the crowd, and soon tens of thousands of people gathered from all directions to the east gate.

Damn, this greeting formation is too big!

Chen Xu sat in the carriage, looking at the forbidden troops lined up on both sides, looking at the carriages and horses of Qin Shihuang in front of him, and looking at the people gathered around, his mentality began to become a little uneasy.

Originally, he still wanted to enter the city quietly, and he didn't want to shoot.

But for now, it seems that we can only take a hard look at the emperor's honor guard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, get out of the car and greet Mr. Chen!" Qin Shi Huang got out of the car with the support of his attendants, and Li Si and the others also got out of the car with him, his face was calm and he couldn't see any thoughts, but the fluctuations in his heart were like turning over the river and the sea.

The First Emperor greeted him personally, which was unprecedented in the history of Great Qin, so they all had their own guesses and plans for Chen Xu's identity.

A hundred zhang apart, the convoy stopped, Chen Xu got out of the car to sort out his clothes, and then walked to Qin Shi Huang step by step accompanied by Fusu, and bowed down from a distance of ten zhang: "Chen Xu greets His Majesty the First Emperor!" ”

Qin Shi Huang strode up with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to hold Chen Xu's hand and said: "Hurry up and excuse me, I have been thinking about it day and night, and finally I am looking forward to Mr. coming, and I have been tired of carriages and horses along the way, which makes me feel uneasy, this is the same as I entered the city, I still have a lot to ask Mr!" ”

It was an unprecedented and grand welcoming ceremony.

Qin Shi Huang and Chen Xu boarded the car of the Son of Heaven and drove back to the palace, and after a long time of welcoming the huge welcoming procession into the city, countless people gathered outside the city to linger and watch.

At the same time, a news that was enough to detonate Xianyang also spread at the same time.

His Majesty invited back the legendary immortal disciples in Funiu Mountain.

Although almost all of them didn't see the faces of the disciples of the Immortal Family, many people still saw such a shadow from a distance, and soon the legend of a young man spread throughout the buildings and halls of Xianyang.

……

That night, the Zichen Hall of Xianyang Palace was brightly lit, and the oil candles and lanterns illuminated the surroundings as bright as day.

Hundreds of Xuanwu guards guarded the perimeter of the main hall impenetrable, and the forbidden army of the Weiwei Mansion guarded the entire palace gate tightly, and all unrelated personnel were not allowed to pass.

On the Zichen Palace, a grand singing and dancing dinner is being held.

There are two desks on the left and one on the right, Qin Shihuang and Chen Xu sit opposite each other, the first on the left and right is Li Si on the left and Feng Quji, and then there are important ministers such as Meng Yi and Zhao Gao who also belong to the level of the three princes and nine secretaries, and then there are more than 40 people in the civil and military forces, all of whom are famous ministers and nobles in the dynasty.

The so-called qing, for the official position above the doctor, divided into upper, middle and lower three grades, similar to the rank of the title, there may be the name of the secretary but no real power, just to indicate a level and treatment, the official rank of two thousand stones, and through the princes and princes these four titles are often juxtaposed together, it can be seen that the status of the secretary is very high.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the three princes of Taishi Taifu and Taibao were listed as Shangqing, and in Daqin, Taiwei, left and right prime ministers and Yushi Dafu were Shangqing, and other Taifu Lang Zhongling and other Jiuqing were Zhongqing and Xiaqing, and other five officials and six secretaries such as Sikong Sima Situ Sikou Sishi had all been abolished, and Daqin's current official positions were almost completely different from those of the Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, the people who participated in the banquet in Zichen Hall were all officials at the level of doctors and above, and these people were also the highest-level exploiting class who controlled the lifeblood of Great Qin.

When the hundred officials and ministers were drinking and feasting, there were dancing girls in the hall dancing to the music, and the sound of the bell and the qin was endless.

After a song, the dancing queen retreated.

"Ever since I watched Mr. Chen's rehearsal plays in Wancheng, I have been bored watching these songs and dances!" Qin Shi Huang seemed to be a little embarrassed that the songs and dances rehearsed in his palace could not be put on the stage, and when he invited Chen Xu to drink, he actually let out a sigh of emotion.

"Your Majesty said and laughed, singing and dancing, drama or good, all are entertainment, drama interpretation is the world's flavors, there are joys and sorrows in reverie, and the singing and dancing movements are relaxed and casual to stretch beautifully, more comfortable, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, at the beginning of the Boya meeting Zhongzi period, the ensemble of the mountains and flowing water as a confidant, after the death of the Zhongzi period, Boya also fell the piano to stop the technique, just for the bosom friend is difficult to find ears, Xu and His Majesty have been friends for a long time, today by His Majesty's grace to come to Xianyang, but also hope to one day be able to be a bosom friend with His Majesty, The governance of our Great Qin will become a prosperous and prosperous era of singing and dancing, and the country and the people. ”

"I am very relieved to have this sentence from Mr., Sir, please drink this cup!"

"Your Majesty, please" Chen Xu held the jade cup in both hands, and drank it all with his sleeve robe hidden in his face.

"Mr. Chen, listening to the report of Shoujiangbei Pavilion in Wancheng County, this year's grain harvest in Qinghe Town in summer and autumn has doubled, and I heard that the yield per mu of 20 acres of experimental fields cultivated by Mr. Chen himself has reached eight stones, I don't know if it is true?" After Chen Xu put down his wine glass, an official below suddenly stood up and asked.

"Not bad!" Chen Xu nodded.

"That's good, it seems that as long as the new decree is implemented, I am expected to double the grain in Daqin next year!" The officer sat down excitedly.

"What decree?" Chen Xu couldn't help but ask, and at the same time turned his head to glance at Li Si, who was sitting at the head of the left.

"Mr. Chen just arrived in Xianyang today, I don't know, last year Mr. invented the Quyuan plough and rake and other new agricultural tools, after the promotion of various places, this year the counties of Daqin generally increased their income by about two percent, and the earliest promotion of Nanyang County increased by more than three percent, and the pheasant county actually exceeded fifty percent, so I plan to promote this method of deep ploughing and fertilization throughout the country, and let Li Xiang issue a decree to enforce it at the time of today's court discussion, so as not to make farmers lazy!" Qin Shi Huang actually opened his mouth to explain this matter.

Chen Xu's face slowly calmed down, and after a little thought, he stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Shi Huang, "Your Majesty, can the implementation of the decree be postponed?" ”

"Why?" Not only Qin Shi Huang was stunned, but everyone in the hall looked at Chen Xu in puzzlement.

"The reason why the law is the law lies in its seriousness, adaptability and popularity, so the promotion of the law should be cautious, a decree is promulgated, when it is timely and appropriate, in order to be accepted and implemented smoothly, the law of deep cultivation and intensive cultivation is indeed a good law to increase grain income, but I have more than 800 counties in 36 counties of Daqin, the north and the south are thousands of miles apart, the time and place are different, the products are also different, and the customs of the people are not the same. In addition, the officials in various places do not understand this new method of farming, and the compulsory promotion will only be counterproductive in many places, I am afraid that it will cause great public resentment, and everything in the world can be prioritized, so the compulsory promotion of the new method of cultivation is not the immediate priority, so Xu implores His Majesty to suspend this decree! ”

Chen Xu said this, and the hall where he was still drinking was lively just now suddenly heard a quiet needle drop.

"If the new farming method is effective, why can't it be forced? Don't you hear that the soldiers are so fast? An official stood up and asked.

"Farming is not a war, there are no soldiers and nobles to say quickly, I ask you, can you ensure that the new type of plough rake farm tools can be built and distributed to each farmer in a timely manner, secondly, whether the farmer can use the new farm tools proficiently, and again, whether the cattle and horses and other large livestock are sufficient, the curved plough is an invention, you must borrow the power of cattle and horses to plough half a foot deep soil, and a day to plough at most only seven or eight acres, if all by manpower, a day to plough an acre of land is the limit, many things are not fully prepared at present, Once the law of new farming is rashly enforced, the local officials will not care whether the farmers can bear it, and the people will resentment under the coercive oppression. When the farmer understands the benefits of the new farming method, in order to harvest more grain, he will naturally take the initiative to learn to farm, as long as the craftsmen are arranged to build a large number of new farming tools, the officials vigorously promote the benefits of the new farming, and the wind and rain are smooth, and the doubling of the national income after two years is a matter of course, so the law of increasing income is in the court, in the officials, in the people, not in the law! ”

Above the main hall there was even more silence and silence.

Chen Xu saluted to Qin Shi Huang again: "Your Majesty Xu Wen traveled to the southeast, sympathized with the victims after the storm in Huiji County, and ordered tax reductions and tax reductions, so that all the people could send off in the middle of the road, and they all called Your Majesty benevolence and righteousness. Does Your Majesty remember the letter that Asahi wrote? The king and the people, like the boat and the water, whether the wind and waves are calm or the waves are all decided by His Majesty's thoughts, so I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

Qin Shi Huang pondered silently for a long time, nodded slightly, and said: "Mr. Chen is reasonable, Li Xiang, the matter of the decree is suspended, and the court will discuss it again tomorrow!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Si's face was calm, he stood up and bowed.
