Chapter 20: Honest Man Lis
After the unification of the text, there are still many broken things, such as weights and measures, currency, etc.
Because during the Warring States Period, the weights and measures systems and monetary systems of various countries were very inconsistent, and now the six countries are all under the Great Qin, and it is impossible to say that the weights and measures are not unified.
And today, Yingzheng invited Li Ye and Li Si to the palace to discuss the matter of unifying weights and measures.
A middle-aged man who was walking with Li Ye spoke: "Master Guoshi, I don't know what you think about this matter?" ”
The man was forty or fifty years old, with thinning hair, but the gleam in his eyes was impossible to underestimate.
Li Ye covered his mouth, yawned, and pouted: "Stand and watch, this matter has to be more reliable Master Li Si, you know that Sang Mo has no concept of these things." ”
Li Si's face was gloomy when he heard this, and he looked unhappy, if the two of them were outside the city, it was estimated that Li Si would even think about knocking Li Ye out and burying which pit to bury.
In fact, Li Si can't be blamed, the last time the unification of the text said that Li Ye and Li Si were responsible, but in the end, Li Si checked the ancient books and collected the words of various countries.
Whenever he raised his head to rest a little at midnight because of the sore eyes he looked at while looking for information, Li Ye's old thief had already slept for a few hours, and his saliva was flowing out.
Lees: This kid, he'...... He bullies honest people!
Seeing that the old man Li Si had a dark face, Li Ye was so familiar that he put his arm on Li Si's neck, and said with a smile:
"Okay, how should I go to see Your Majesty with the appearance of Lord Lisi? In the future, Sang Mo will send some good wine to Lord Li Si to drink~ You must know that it was sent by His Majesty to Sang Mo, do you think~ That taste! ”
Li Si was a little greedy when he heard this, looked at Li Ye and said, "Hmm...... Lord Li Ye, are you serious? ”
Li Ye coughed lightly a few times and said:
"Yes~ How dare Sang Mo deceive Lord Li Si, but Lord Li Si should also go faster, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time."
Li Si nodded when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "What the National Teacher reminds is that you can't let Your Majesty wait, hurry up!" ”
Li Ye looked at Li Si who was hurriedly running towards the hall and shook his head, feeling that Li Si, the old man, was not like the conspirator that the later generations said......
Li Si's comments on later generations are polarized, there is a saying that he is a conspirator, providing others with a lot of schemes, spells, he only attaches importance to plots, does not teach people to do good, is not a good person, and even the later generations of the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed have his pot, he and Zhao Gao conspired, forged the edict, set up the young son Hu Hai as the second emperor, and later Zhao Gao was jealous, was beheaded in Xianyang, and razed the three clans.
Some people also say that Yingzheng can unify the world, many of them are Li Si's advice, and he is the spokesperson of the Legalists, so some people think that Li Si is a good person only in terms of merits.
But Li Ye's honest man Li Si is obviously different from the one in history, he is worried about the monarch and works hard for state affairs, Taijun! He's a big honest man!
However, Li Ye is also more sure that this is the Warring States of the monster list world......
After Li Ye walked slowly to the main hall, he looked at Li Si and Yingzheng, who had been waiting for a long time, covered his thighs, and said with a somewhat hideous face:
"Your Majesty! Yesterday, Sang Mo accidentally slipped while bathing and fell and injured his waist, so Sang Mo was late today, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame him. ”
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Ye's thigh and covered his waist, and waved his hand directly:
"Okay, Sang Mo, are you still coming with me? Hurry up and sit down. ”
Li Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "Hehe~ Yes!" ”
After Li Ye sat down, he discussed with Yingzheng Li Si how to stipulate weights and measures.
The three of them discussed like this, and half a day passed in a blink of an eye, and the detailed data of weights and measures were all settled.
Through discussions, several people specified in detail that there were two kinds of currency: gold and copper.
Gold is called the upper coin, with eridium as the unit, and the copper coin as the lower coin, unified as a circular square space, and half a tael as the unit. Gold coins were mainly used by the emperor for rewards, and copper coins were the main medium of circulation.
Ying Zheng also proposed to use the measure, measurement, and weight of the former Qin State as the unit standard, and eliminate the system that did not conform to this.
The Qin court also had to add an edict inscription to the standard instrument promulgated by Li Ye, or make another inscription on the same standard instrument and send it to all counties and counties across the country. (Just like the current state stamp, it is considered an official notice.) Scales, quantities, and scales that are different from standards are prohibited.
In the field system, Yingzheng stipulates that 6 feet is a step, and 240 steps is an acre. What would it be like for Ying Zheng to know that this acre system will continue to be used for thousands of years and will not change.
Finally, the cars are on the same track, because during the Warring States Period, the shape of vehicles in various countries was different. It just so happened that Yingzheng proposed that the width of the car should be set at six feet, and one car could pass through the whole country.
Li Ye walked out of the hall and patted his sore neck, complaining: "I'm tired to death, after this Great Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, there are really a lot of things, and sure enough, Lord Li Si is a capable person who works hard." ”
Hearing this, Li Si carefully held the heavy paperwork in his arms, and said: "The National Teacher is really good at laughing, Li Si believes that the National Teacher is also enjoying it~"
Li Ye shook his head, but what Li Si said was not unreasonable, he used to feel tired of running even a thousand meters, but now he is fighting in the Six Kingdoms, and he really didn't dare to think about dealing with the affairs of the internal affairs in the past, maybe ...... Are you really having fun?
Li Ye looked at Li Si, who was holding the paperwork next to him, and his face was already red, and said with a smile:
"Lord Li Si, give Sang Mo some hugs, after all, it took us and His Majesty half a day to discuss."
Hearing this, Li Si handed the paperwork to Li Ye.
After Li Ye stretched out his hand to take the paperwork, Li Si also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Master Guoshi." ”
Li Ye shook his head slightly, and said, "Let's go, Lord Lisi, there are really a lot of things waiting for us to deal with later." ”
After the national unified weights and measures, Ying Zheng himself also did something of great significance to Daqin.
For example, the line is the same.
"Doing the same" means correcting customs and establishing a unified code of ethics and behavior. In this regard, Ying Zheng also attaches great importance to it, after all, Li Ye once said: "The future of a country depends on the next generation, and if you want to make the future walk on the bright road, you must start from the baby." ”
If the next generation is not under pressure and does not correct their thinking and is ashamed of corruption and inertia in order to eliminate the war, then there is a danger of destroying the country.
After all, if they are all pampered people in the future, the court is corrupt, the king is mediocre, and the officials are corrupt, even if such a country has a thick Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu, it will not help.
(For example, now, most of the younger generation has good ideas and values, and the author believes that the motherland will be stronger!) After all, the author is such a handsome coquettish year with the right values. )
