Section 553 The greatness of the Queen Mother

After returning to the manor, a scribe wrote a letter, and Bai Hui and Empress Dowager Xuan used it at the same time.

This is what Bai Hui strongly demands.

There is a seal of the Empress Dowager Xuan, which is enough to prove that Bai Hui waited for the Empress Dowager Xuan to arrive, and only after obtaining the consent of the Empress Dowager Xuan did he make the final decision.

The letter was sent by hand.

The scribe was about to withdraw, but Empress Dowager Xuan motioned for the scribe to sit down, ready to record the next conversation between herself and Bai Hui.

Empress Dowager Xuan and Bai Hui spoke, rarely so formally.

Conversations that need to be recorded must be kept in the archives of Xianyang Palace.

Bai Hui sorted out his clothes, and even his sitting posture was much more formal.

Empress Dowager Xuan spoke first: "Although the palace is on vacation in Sakura Island, it has always paid attention to the development of West Island, and has also inquired about many official documents of West Island. Then, after Hongu traveled to Nidao and Nanwan, Hongu had a kind of expectation in his heart. ”

The scribe was recording carefully, and the Empress Dowager Xuan was also very slow.

After reading the records of the scribes, the Empress Dowager Xuan continued: "The palace has seen many inconvenient places, first of all, the Japanese people are divided into Korean, Wei, Chu, etc. in the study of the Central Plains script. ”

Bai Hui was shocked.

Empress Dowager Xuan didn't care about Bai Hui's reaction, and continued: "There are also coins, in Wadao, all kinds of miscellaneous money are mixed, and there are many disputes. Youshi once proposed to use all Qin Xinqian, but Han, Wei and others couldn't forget their own country, so they secretly resisted. ”

"Not only that, but in terms of rice, the size of the bucket varies from country to country......"

Empress Dowager Xuan spoke one by one.

Bai Hui was stunned, Empress Dowager Xuan deserves to be the first empress dowager of the Warring States, if you really want to list all the strange women in the Warring States, the Empress Dowager Xuan is definitely among the top three.

After Empress Dowager Xuan finished speaking, she asked Bai Hui: "What do you think of this matter?" ”

Bai Hui subconsciously replied: "The book is the same text, the car is the same track, and the line is the same......"

Bai Hui's nine words, Empress Dowager Xuan's eyes lit up after listening to them: "It's wonderful, it's good." You know the heart of this palace best, and it's right to talk to you about it. ”

"Queen Mother." Bai Hui bowed to Xuan Houchang to the end.

Empress Dowager Xuan is so powerful that she actually thought of the great cause made by the Great First Emperor one step in advance.

The unification of weights and measures is definitely a milestone in the progress of human civilization.

"Do you have any suggestions?"

If Bai Hui has any good suggestions, the only thing Bai Hui can do is to repeat what the great sages have done.

Bai Hui said: "Queen Mother, first of all, the book is the same text. A new font should be created that is not only easy to write, but also easy to read. Please take a look at the words of the minister. ”

Bai Hui's handwriting is not too good, but regular script and official script are still okay.

Lishu originated from the Han Dynasty, and regular script is the most easily recognizable font, after these two kinds of Bai Hui were written, Empress Dowager Xuan could recognize them at a glance.

However, Empress Dowager Xuan still said: "This thing can't be done like this, it will be troublesome to do this." ”

Bai Hui was sober and immediately said: "Please edict the king to order the world, and order the great sages of the world to gather in Luoyi, in the name of the Son of Heaven, and the text of the world." Then create a body shared by the world, not the Qin body, and has nothing to do with the Qin state. If Qin rules the world one day, Qin Zhixiao has nothing to give up. ”

"Visionary, well said."

Empress Dowager Xuan praised Bai Hui and then turned her head to look at the scribe: "Did you record it?" ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"Add a sentence, I, the Qin State, want to invite the Son of Heaven to edict and implement the policy of the same text in the world. The income of Wadao was not taken by the Qin State, and all of it was used for the same book. ”

"No!" The scribe hastened to take note of it.

Empress Dowager Xuan instructed: "Suspend the record." ”

The scribe stopped laughing, and the Empress Dowager Xuan asked Bai Hui: "Then you still need a new money, what words do you use for new money?" ”

After Bai Hui thought about it, he wrote a Chinese character on the case with water.

Han can't be, because the Han Dynasty hasn't appeared yet.

Huaxia, the word Xia cannot be used, because Xia represents a dynasty before Zhou.

Empress Dowager Xuan nodded: "This is good to use, Xia is not suitable, Zhou will be replaced, there will be no more Zhou Tianzi in the future, and it will seem that my Qin State dominates the world with Qin." or use the seven strongest countries, but they don't put the Son of Heaven in their eyes, not to mention that the world is not the top seven, so the Chinese character is used well. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie."

After the Empress Dowager Xuan confirmed, she said to the scribe: "Record, this palace and Dahejun discussed, in the name of Zhutian Huaxia, take the new money as Chinese money, this money is not in circulation in the Central Plains, first try it in Wadao, Wadao prohibits miscellaneous currency, only Chinese money can be used." ”

When the scribe was recording, Empress Dowager Xuan asked Bai Hui: "What are the suggestions for new money?" ”

"The sky is round and the place is round and square, with four words on the front: Zhonghua Tongbao, and on the back in a ring, write down the workshop and the time of casting."

"Very good, China, China is respected, the world depends on me and Huawei, so it's decided."

Bai Hui said: "Queen Mother, with the edict of the Son of Heaven, invite the great sages of the world to write the numismatic text, and finalize the new money with the recognized first calligraphy." ”

"Very well, that's it. Fighting wars every day, such things will surely be more interesting to the world than wars. Record the order of the palace, order the Xianyang Music and Dance Troupe to prepare, Luoyi is going to arrange a grand event, as for the reason for this grand event, what good suggestions does Bai Hui have? ”

Bai Hui asked with a smile: "The Queen Mother thinks that the Son of Heaven's fortieth birthday is a good name." ”

"Good."

Empress Dowager Xuan was very satisfied with Bai Hui's suggestion.

If she says that she is about to celebrate her fiftieth birthday, but the Empress Dowager Xuan knows very well that as the Empress Dowager of Qin, it is better to keep a low profile at this time when Qin wants to dominate the world.

To celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven, Qin Guo can take the opportunity to make a special event, and he can also continue to do this book with the same text by the way.

Bai Hui added: "This book is the same text, and the most important of them is to unify weights and measures, length, weight, and volume. This is very, very important. ”

Empress Dowager Xuan smiled: "Of course it's important, but this troublesome work is already very hard for our Qin State." Summoning the great sages of the world, I believe that they are willing to endure hardships and leave this name. ”

"The Queen Mother is wise."

Empress Dowager Xuan is not only wise, during her time on Wajima, it can be said that she has seen the era after the unification of the world, and has also seen the contradictions between the people of various countries and the possibility of mediating this contradiction.

First of all, it weakens the regional differences in writing, coins, weights and measures, and so on.

Then it is to go further, to promote the theory that China is the middle of the world, and at the same time make a simple distinction between the alien race and the Chinese, first let the Central Plains countries first become a family consciousness in front of the alien race.

When the world is unified, I believe that whether it is Han, Wei, Qin, and Qi, they will definitely fight side by side and unite with the outside world.

Bai Hui is really an admiration.

Empress Dowager Xuan's vision, Empress Dowager Xuan's courage is much higher than herself, a modernly educated traverser.

is worthy of being a strange woman who laid the foundation for the great unification of Great Qin.
