For this gift, Xiang Shaolong was very troubled. His tricks mainly come from watching TV in later generations, and it is best to send a diamond ring, but the meaning of the ring in this era is completely different from that of later generations, and it will look very strange to really take out a ring, and there is no shiny thing like a diamond, and it is expensive to send gold and silver, but it is too tacky.

Qin Qing is worth a lot of money, her family is in the dansha business, which is the raw material of mercury, and her wealth is no less than that of the Wu family, and she can raise private soldiers for self-defense, Qin Shi Huang is her big customer, and she is the earliest female entrepreneur in China.

In the end, Xiang Shaolong decided to do the opposite, and gave the cheapest garland, picked and made it by himself.

Qin Qing said: "Shaolong, I am very conflicted in my heart. I have rejected many powerful pursuits over the years, and since my husband left on his wedding day and did not return, I have become a model of contemporary women's observance, and once you marry me, you will encounter great resistance. ”

Xiang Shaolong, a modern person, how could he care about this, but now is not the time to talk about this, he just asked: "Don't care about other people, I just ask if you are willing." ”

Qin Qing had already fallen in love with Xiang Shaolong, and she herself was naturally willing to say, "I am willing!" But ......"

Xiang Shaolong interrupted: "It's nothing, it's enough if you want, I have something else to do." Xiang Shaolong got up and happily hugged Qin Qing in his arms.

Seeing that Qin Qing was still hesitant, he said with a smile: "I went to the king and asked him for marriage." ”

Qin Qingdao said: "I'm afraid that others will talk about it and it will not be good for your reputation." "In ancient times, intemperance did not only refer to the remarriage of women, but also to the marriage of widows by men. Qin Qing can not care about his reputation, but he doesn't want Xiang Shaolong's reputation to be damaged.

Xiang Shaolong said: "I can't hear the discussion behind my back, forget it, with my current status, I don't know who dares to talk in front of me." ”

Qin Qing said: "Shaolong, I am 10,000 willing to be your wife, and I can also live in the General's Mansion, but we don't want to make it known to the whole world, let others talk about you behind your back, and ruin your reputation." ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Qin Qing is the first talented woman in the world, I just want the world to know that she is my wife Xiang Shaolong, and I envy the man who died in the world." ”

Qin Qing said: "But you are married to a widow!" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Qing'er, you are my wife, I can't let you live in the General's Mansion without clarity and namelessness, where does that put your reputation?" I want Ming Media to marry, in the world, no one can let you suffer the slightest grievance, whoever dares to chew his tongue, I will slaughter whom! ”

Qin Qing looked at Xiang Shaolong's spirit in the world, and for her, he was willing to bear the criticism of the world, cried with joy, hugged Xiang Shaolong tightly, and did not want to separate.

In the next day, Xiang Shaolong went to see the king of Qin and talked about the marriage.

King Qin valued Xiang Shaolong and felt that they were a good match, but he was willing to fulfill them and give them marriage.

However, as Qin Qing said, her identity is extraordinary, and King Qin wants to ask clearly: "Shaolong, Qin Taifu is famous all over the world, and her remarriage will cause a great shock." As far as the widow knows, there are also people in the royal family who have pursued the Qin Taifu and have been rejected, have you thought about the situation you may face in the future? ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "I dare to marry her, I am not afraid of this, I ask the king to marry her so that she can enter my general's mansion in style, and I must not let her suffer any grievances." ”

King Qin is a person who values love and righteousness, and he appreciates Xiang Shaolong's responsibility.

King Qin said: "The reputation of Taifu Qin not only comes from talent, but also from the chastity of being widowed for many years. ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "This is a personal matter for the two of us, which is the turn of others to discuss." ”

King Qin listened to Xiang Shaolong's innocent answer, and said, "How can this be a personal matter for the two of you." Mrs. Qin's observance of festivals is already a model for women in the world, how can she not be discussed if she remarries. ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Letting a widow keep a festival for the dead is not worth encouraging, whether a widow changes or not is a personal matter, which round to get people to talk about." ”

King Qin said: "Don't Shaolong think that women should observe festivals for men?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Of course you should observe the festival for the living, but it is debatable to observe the festival for the dead." is really affectionate and unwilling, of course, worthy of respect, but many widows remarry not because of feelings, but for survival. If Mrs. Qin and I are not in love, even if we don't remarry for the rest of our lives, we can have no worries about food and clothing. However, if the widows of the poor do not remarry, they do not even have the ability to survive, and if they are not allowed to remarry, they are forced to die. From the perspective of the state, the population is now an important resource of the country, and it is also a great waste for women of childbearing age to be widowed and not have children. So, I think that widows should be encouraged to remarry, even if they are not forced. ”

King Zhuang Xiang said: "Shaolong's words are indeed very reasonable. But I'm afraid it can't stop the discussion of the world's scholars. ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Those so-called romantic talents, who take concubines and prostitutes, but advocate to keep the festival for widows who can't live on, maybe they are among those who harass widows, and they are shameless." I have a good voice and a dog, and I am useless to the country, but I like to sit there and point fingers at the world, and I don't pay attention to such people and their words. King, if I dare to marry Mrs. Qin openly, I can withstand all the pressure, not to mention, these are not any pressure in my eyes. ”

King Qin knew that things could not be as easy as Xiang Shaolong said, but he appreciated Xiang Shaolong's affection and responsibility more and more, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Shaolong is a good man." Well, the widow will give you the marriage as you wish. ”

Xiang Shaolong thanked: "King Xie." ”

King Qin said: "There is one more thing to listen to Shaolong's opinion. Lu Xiangguo has a doorman, who is Korean, named Zheng Guo. This person is proficient in the affairs of river canals, and proposed that if a large canal can be dug to communicate Jingshui and Luoshui, more fertile land can be opened up to one million hectares, what does Shaolong think? ”

Xiang Shaolong knew that Zheng Guoqu was a tired Qin plan in Korea, just to make Qin exhaust its national strength and unable to destroy Han, so he asked: "Did the king promise Lu Xiangguo to build this canal?" ”

King Qin said: "Not yet, but the widow thinks that if this canal can be built, it will be of great benefit to the country." ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "But the king, this project costs a lot of money, and it can't be completed without ten years, so it must block the pace of my Great Qin's eastward advance." And who does the king want to be in charge of this project? ”

The King of Qin knew that whoever was in charge of this matter would have a great deal of power. And Xiang Shaolong has always been very estranged from Lu Buwei, and it seems that he always wants to draw a line with him, but he still said: "This matter was proposed by Lu Xiangguo, and it was designed by his disciples, if you want to say that you are in charge of this matter, Lu Xiangguo is the most suitable." Could it be that Shaolong is not in favor of building this canal? ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "No." The development of farmland water conservancy projects, the merit of the present generation, the benefit of the future, this canal must be repaired, the most important thing is that we should take this opportunity to cultivate our own water conservancy personnel. If this canal is completed, it will create a precedent for irrigation and have a far-reaching impact on the future discovery of water conservancy. We must have our own talent reserves, but at this time we can't consume all the national strength here, let him make a detailed plan, drawings, budget, and the manpower and material resources consumed must make a detailed plan. As for the person in charge of this matter, why don't the king directly let this Zheng Guo enter the court, be the official of my Great Qin, and be directly responsible to the king, and apply directly to the king for what he needs, and the king will personally control the scheduling of all resources. ”

King Qin saw that Xiang Shaolong was jealous of Lü Buwei being responsible for this matter, and was afraid that he would control the financial power of the whole country. He didn't want a powerful minister to appear himself, but he still hesitated a little and said, "But the widow doesn't understand water conservancy." ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Lu Xiangguo also doesn't understand water conservancy. The king's control of the financial power is to allocate the country's resources more reasonably, and this water conservancy project is very important, and within the scope of its ability, it can be developed first, but it cannot stop the development of other aspects. ”

King Qin said: "It's still Shaolong's way to do it properly." "It is of course appropriate to strengthen the power of the monarchy and limit the power of the minister.

"Smack!" Lu Buwei angrily slammed the wine glass in his hand, "Damn! Xiang Shaolong is a big deal for me. ”

Lü Buwei originally wanted to grasp the lifeblood of Qin's experience through Zheng Guoqu, but he didn't expect that King Qin would directly transfer people away and take charge of it personally, and he didn't get anything except recommending an engineer. He received the news that it was Xiang Shaolong who sabotaged it. Not only that, but the king actually gave Xiang Shaolong and the widow Qing a marriage.

Widow Qing is the dream lover of Daqin and even men all over the world, Lu Buwei is in power and opposition, and his status is noble, so he naturally has thoughts about widow Qing, but not only did he not get the goddess, but the goddess also married his sworn enemy, which was really angry.

The number one strategist beside Lu Buwei, Mo Ao said to Lu Buwei: "Xiangye, it is said that his Wu family can gain a foothold in Daqin, all because of Xiangye, how can this Shaolong repeatedly harm Xiangye?" ”

Mo Ao is Lu Buwei's brain, thirty-five or sixteen years old, tall and thin, with a long face, a goatee, quite delicate, and gloomy eyes. He is conceited and intellectual, and he also has a bad idea of widow Qing, this strategy of increasing power by repairing the canal is what he taught Lu Buwei, once he succeeded, he also benefited greatly, and was destroyed by Xiang Shaolong, which also made him hate Xiang Shaolong to the core.

Lu Buwei said: "Xiang Shaolong climbed directly to the crown prince, and was appreciated by the king, the Wu family is not only not used by me, but the more estranged they are, Xiang Shaolong wants to be on an equal footing with me!" ”

Mo Ao said: "Xiang Ye, Xiang Shaolong can't stay, he not only wants to be on an equal footing with Xiang Ye, but also wants to step on Xiang Ye." We are not enemies with him, but he has repeatedly done bad things to his father. ”

Lü Buwei asked, "What is Mr. Mo's plan?" ”

Mo Ao said: "It's really hard to find any weaknesses in this young dragon. Before he came to Xianyang, he ran to the border, the bitter cold land of northern Xinjiang, but let him make real military achievements. Once he returned to Xianyang, he sent an envoy to the enemy country at the time of the military crisis, and relieved the siege of Guguan. Later, in Xianyang, he lived in a simple place, did not make friends with important ministers, and did not linger in the land of wind and moon. In addition to his own wife and concubine, he only hooked up with the widow Qing. Above the court, the king seems to trust him more, and it is difficult to contact him in private. For the sake of today's plan, it seems that only by competing with him in a dignified manner can you have a chance to kill him. As he spoke, he looked at a man with a high nose and deep eyes next to him, and his figure was fiercer than Xiang Shaolong.
