Chapter 288: General Election!
"Peng!" Zuo Yiming slapped his palm on the table angrily, pointed at his eldest son and said angrily: "Why, if you want to rebel, you can't do it!" ”
"I.... Can't! The eldest son buried his head and replied worriedly.
"Master, don't be angry, you're angry!" His wife hurriedly comforted Zuo Yiming.
"Hmph, you three, if you don't learn and don't know how to do it, what can't you do, these years, you have been idle every day, I knew that at the beginning, the old man should have shot you on the wall, telling you, Earl, you have no share, the old man has already written to His Majesty and passed it to Zuo Hao!" Zuo Yiming shouted with a look of hatred that iron does not become steel.
"What! Zuo Hao! The three sons and their wives exclaimed in unison, their faces unconvinced.
Zuo Hao is Zuo Yiming's fourth son, but he was not born to his wife, he was born to a local folk girl when Zuo Yiming supervised the construction of the railway, and he was an illegitimate child.
Zuo Hao is eighteen years old this year, and he has become an adult, because he is an illegitimate child, his family does not want to see him, and the three sons born to his wife often laugh at him as a mongrel.
It may be for this reason that Zuo Hao has worked hard since he was a child, and now he has served as the head of the Ministry of Water in the Ministry of Industry, and now he is still dealing with the water situation in the Yellow River area.
"Master, the heir doesn't wear a concubine, and he's still an illegitimate child..."
Zuo Yiming interrupted angrily: "What's wrong with the bastard, he is also my son, and he is not as good as these three wastes, at the age of eighteen, he is already the head of the Ministry of Water, a fourth-grade official, and he is also a middle-class official in the empire, what about these three?" If you all fail in the imperial examination, you can go to business, but what? I can't get out of the old money I lost! ”
"As the saying goes, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, but these three are the champions who can't come out of one of the three hundred and sixty lines, by the way, if they eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, they are the champions!"
Zuo Yiming didn't give his three sons any face, and kept counting them down, so as to set off Zuo Hao.
was so counted by Zuo Yiming, the three sons couldn't wait to get into the cracks in the ground, and his wife's face couldn't hold back, but they didn't dare to refute anything, and they didn't dare to scold Zuo Yiming.
"Okay, the three of you are not too young, and you are all married, so go back and pack your things!" Zuo Yiming said with a blushing face.
Hearing this, the three sons seemed to think of something, split up!
"Master, the earl passed it to Zuo Hao, I have no opinion, but can I not divide the family now? I'm also old, and I still want my son to send me to the end! The wife said pleadingly.
Zuo Yiming heard this, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay, so let's say it, it's also my son, and in the future, this Zuofu will give you three, and the property will also be given to you!" ”
"Hah!" The three sons were a little puzzled, all of them gave us three? Don't have a copy of Zuo Hao? This doesn't fit the old guy's style of doing things.
"Your Majesty gave me a Zuo Earl's Mansion, and the Zuo Earl's Mansion was given to Zuo Hao!" Zuo Yiming continued.
Hearing this, the three sons finally knew why Zuo Yiming was so atmospheric, it turned out that there was something better.
"Okay, that's it, the old man is tired!" Zuo Yiming dropped this sentence and got up to leave, leaving only his wife and three sons standing there stunned.
Imperial Palace, Qiankun Palace!
Zhao Cheng was lying on the bed, Zhao Min sat next to him and pressed Zhao Cheng's shoulder, "Zhao Cheng, Xing'er is also a big boss, it's time to marry a wife and have children, and Yu'er is also eighteen, it's time to find someone to marry!" Zhao Min said.
"You can do it!" Zhao Cheng was the shopkeeper.
"Okay, in a few days, I will choose a day and invite the children of various ministers to come to the Taiji Hall to choose a wife and a husband for my son and daughter!" Zhao Min said with a smile.
A few days later!
The order to reform the army was issued to various military camps, this time it was not only the reform of the establishment, ranks, but also military uniforms, with the popularization of thermal weapons, forty or fifty pounds of armor is no longer useful, so this comprehensive reform!
The heavy armor was changed into a military uniform, a black dragon pattern military uniform, the leader was inlaid with a golden dragon, the golden military ranks were hung on both shoulders, and the long hair was entangled, covered with a military cap, at a glance, it was cool and handsome.
Zhao Cheng didn't think about cutting his hair, but he was opposed by 98% of Wenchen, thinking that it was unfilial to cut his parents.
In addition to the army reform, the Qin army also added the weapon of mushroom plus infantry artillery, and the flying elephant cannon was not replaced, and now the flying elephant cannon is regarded as a medium-range weapon, and the mushroom infantry cannon is a long-range weapon.
There is also cavalry, originally there were one million cavalry in the Great Qin Empire, but with the reform of the army, one million cavalry was weakened to 100,000, because the cavalry was under the machine gun, and it couldn't rush at all, and a group of war horses were swept down with a shuttle.
A series of reforms have made the Great Qin army very lively, and various military camps are upgrading and changing their equipment.
Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace!
In the Taiji Palace, all the people of officials above the third rank are here, the men stand on the left, and the women stand on the right.
Men are between the ages of 20 and 18, and so are women.
Zhao Min sat on the phoenix chair with a kind face, Zhao Xing and Zhao Yu stood on both sides, Zhao Yu was obviously a little restrained, his face was red, and he kept his head down, compared to Zhao Yu's restraint, Zhao Xing's eyes were shining.
The men of His Royal Highness Chengtian are very coveted by Zhao Yu, the eldest princess, if they marry him, it is really not too simple, after all, she is the only princess of the Great Qin Empire.
And the women of His Royal Highness are also very restrained, and some women are secretly laughing, especially those who have had a relationship with Zhao Xing.
I have to say that Zhao Xing is definitely several layers ahead of Zhao Cheng in terms of picking up girls, and he has been in contact with many ministers' daughters, but that kind of contact is not skin-to-skin.
Zhao Min saw Zuo Hao in the men's queue, and recommended to Zhao Yu softly: "Yu'er, Zuo Yiming's son, Zuo Hao is good, although he is an illegitimate child, his ability is much higher than his three elder brothers, this time he has made great contributions to governing the Yellow River, and your father and emperor have praised him!" ”
Zuo Hao was originally not in Xianyang and was in the Yellow River to control the water situation, but Zuo Yiming called him back and asked him to prepare to take over the hereditary earl, but as soon as he came back, news came out in the palace that the third-grade officials and nobles above the marquis sent their children to the palace to choose wives and husbands for the second prince and the eldest princess!
Compared with the excitement and excitement of some ministers' sons, Zuo Hao is much calmer, in his opinion, he is just going through the motions, in terms of background, he is not outstanding in terms of identity, after all, they are all the sons of big people here, such as Fang Yun, the son of the current Prime Minister Fang Xin, the son of the left and right prime ministers, Lu Ming, Liu Huan, and so on.
may be because of Zuo Hao's calmness that Zhao Min paid attention to it.
