Abolish the sub-seal, line the county, set up 36 counties in the world, and set up the capital Xianyang. Make the book the same text, the car on the same track, the currency as the same, and the weights and measures as the same. We will continue to uphold the rule of law and implement the system of three public and nine secretaries. Great reward for civil and military officials.

Xiang Shaolong made great contributions, and the first emperor thought about it again and again, and named Xiang Shaolong as the king of Jin.

Xiang Shaolong was very surprised, the king of one word is the prince, and he is the most noble with "Jin, Qin, Qi, and Chu", and he is not a royal family, how can he get this honor?

The first emperor told Xiang Shaolong very vaguely that from the beginning of saving him back to Qin, to pacifying the Xiongnu and destroying the Six Kingdoms, Xiang Shaolong's merits were too great, and he was no longer rewarded, and he was named king because Xiang Shaolong had no heirs, and no one would be qualified to inherit his title in the future, that is to say, this "King of Jin" would not have it again when he died. It is tantamount to warning Xiang Shaolong in disguise that if he wants to be the "King of Jin", it is best not to think about stepping a son, and he will be able to inherit his title in the future.

Fortunately, Xiang Shaolong doesn't care much about this kind of thing, if he cares, he is now forty-two years old, and he has already adopted a child.

After being named the king of Jin, Xiang Shaolong no longer interfered in the army and devoted himself to being his prime minister. All efforts were devoted to developing the economy and reforming the bureaucratic system.

In fact, Xiang Shaolong is not a capable civil official, he knows a lot of things in the system and doesn't know why, if he really lets him do it himself, it must be a mess. Fortunately, with more than 2,000 years of knowledge, as long as he tells what he knows, as for the pros and cons, someone will naturally distinguish for him. Moreover, he has always adhered to the principle of conducting small-scale experiments first, doing research, using data to speak, finding problems, solving problems, and then promoting them on a large scale after improvement.

Xiang Shaolong is not very clever, he only knows that "if you want to get rich, you must first build roads", so he engaged in infrastructure construction, built roads everywhere, and dug a spiritual canal to communicate Xiangshui and Lishui for the southern expedition to Baiyue. Li Bing, who built Dujiangyan, is dead, but Zheng Guo, the chief designer of the Zhengguo Canal, is still alive. The construction of the Ling Canal is very smooth, and the channel is complete, and the materials can be continuously delivered to the land of Baiyue.

Xiang Shaolong engaged in infrastructure construction and made great noise, but he did not enslave the people, but relied on recruiting workers and paying wages.

Daqin is vast, and every year there will be some famines, or droughts, or floods, or locust plagues, and the people are poor. Xiang Shaolong's disaster relief method is to use work for relief, recruit a large number of migrant workers, and personally supervise the money and food distributed.

Fortunately, after years of operation, the imperial court has become wealthy, and the country's development has been smooth.

Wang Jian fought for many years, because of his military exploits, he was named Wuchenghou, and after the world was unified, he began to live in seclusion, and rarely paid attention to the affairs of the imperial court.

As Xiang Shaolong turned to civilian officials, Wang Jian ignored the government and politics, and Meng Tian gradually became the first brother in the army.

Xiang Shaolong has always strengthened trade with the land of Baiyue, passed on the culture and prosperity of the Central Plains to the Baiyue people, let them know their backwardness and barbarism, provided convenience for the Baiyue people to go out of the mountains, and abducted many Baiyue people to the Central Plains.

After five years of recuperation, in 224 BC, the first emperor took Yang Duanhe as the commander, the general Tu Sui as the deputy, and Zhao Tuo and Ren Huan as the vanguard, raising 500,000 troops and attacking Baiyue.

With sufficient supplies, sophisticated equipment, and well-trained soldiers, Baiyue was pacified in one fell swoop, and three counties of Nanhai County, Guilin County, and Xiang County were established.

Emperor Shi ordered the soldiers who marched into Lingnan to stay in the local "tunshu", immigrate to Lingnan in large numbers, and implement the ethnic policy of "harmony and Baiyue" to promote the integration of Han and Vietnam.

Meng Tian led his younger brother Meng Yi, Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian, and the little general Li Xin to send troops to the northwest, opening up the Hexi Corridor, destroying the Yueshi, Wusun, Loulan and other countries, and expanding their territory to the Western Regions.

In 221 BC, Xiang Shaolong was fifty years old, and he felt that he had said everything he could say, and Cheng was quite a little boring, so he resigned to the first emperor.

The First Emperor was very surprised, Xiang Shaolong has abided by his duties over the years, never overstepped his authority, and he has no suspicion, the national strength of Great Qin is thriving, Xiang Shaolong, who is quite good, why did he suddenly want to resign?

The First Emperor asked, "Prime Minister, you are in the prime of life, and I have never been suspicious of you, why do you want to resign?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty, you also know me, since I was the first minister of Zuo, I have not been very competent, not a diligent and good official. Now I have said everything I can think of, and as for the specific implementation, I am even less good, I always feel that I am sorry for the money I have received. And this one is quite a person, too much of a body, not free. I'm so rich, I should enjoy life and don't want to work so hard. The world is so big, I want to see it. ”

The First Emperor was very confused, this reason was very strong, and he had the intention to keep it, but Xiang Shaolong insisted on resigning, and finally asked: "Then who do you think is the best to replace you?" ”

This is really not a temptation, but he never thought that Xiang Shaolong would resign, he was really caught off guard.

Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty, I am full of talents in Daqin, and there are many people who can replace me, as for who to choose, it depends on Your Majesty's intentions." He refused to give his opinion.

In the end, Li Si took over as prime minister.

The First Emperor asked Xiang Shaolong: "What is King Jin's plan next?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "The vast area of my Great Qin, the magnificence of the mountains and rivers, is unprecedented, I want to visit it first." Although I have been to many places before, I have basically been on official business, and I have not walked around as I want. ”

The First Emperor thought for a while and said, "I gave you the sword of Shangfang, and you will take a walk among the people for me to see how the people live and how the officials are, and see if there are any problems." I don't care where you go or how long you go, come back and talk to me. Alas, I have some envy of your freedom. ”

Under the influence of Xiang Shaolong, the first emperor attached great importance to the common people and paid attention to the people's livelihood.

Xiang Shaolong was unofficial, and with his beautiful wife and concubine, he went out of Xianyang and began to travel in the mountains and rivers. As the king of Jin, he has a noble status, and this trip has the intention of patrolling the sky on behalf of the sky, so he never reveals his identity, and plays a private visit to Weifu.

Nature without industrial pollution is incomparably beautiful, and Xiang Shaolong's love for this kind of beauty makes the people around him very puzzled, because they have never seen what "haze" is, and how can they understand what environmental pollution is.

Xiang Shaolong walked and stopped, walking extremely slowly and aimlessly.

On this day, I walked to Shu County and came to the world-famous Dujiangyan.

Xiang Shaolong visited Dujiangyan in the 21st century, but at this time it is not called Dujiangyan, it is called Xiangyi, and it is far from being spectacular in later generations, but in this era, it is also the world's first-class project.

Xiang Shaolong stood on the dam and admired the wisdom of the ancients, at this time we should be ahead of the world. The people who grew up on this land have always been the smartest and hardest working people in the world, and I really hope to stay ahead of the curve.

Xiang Shaolong accidentally met a person he had forgotten about in Shu County, Lü Buwei's son-in-law, Guan Zhongxi.

Both of them are in outstanding shape, standing out from the crowd, and no one can ignore the other.

Guan Zhongyi was also shocked when he saw Xiang Shaolong, and when he met on the street, he couldn't avoid it at all. The evil in charge can only come forward to salute, and he is worried in his heart, for fear of some disaster.

Xiang Shaolong didn't expect to meet him, he was followed by a young man, but he was only slightly stunned, and the evil in the guard stepped forward to salute, calling him "King Jin", and he was about to bow down.

Xiang Shaolong stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Brother Guan doesn't need to be polite, don't come here for nearly twenty years." Why are you here? Is Lu Xiangye good? This is not the place to talk, let's find a place to sit and talk. ”

In a restaurant, after the two of them sat down, Guan Zhong said evilly: "I really didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness King Jin, my father-in-law has been dead for many years." ”

This was also expected by Xiang Shaolong, so he was not surprised, and asked: "I remember that you went to Henan at the beginning, why did you come to Shudi?" ”

Guan Zhong said: "Later, the emperor issued an order to let us go to Shudi, but my father-in-law was old and didn't want to have a bumpy road, so he committed suicide by drinking." I moved here with my wife and family. I don't know how His Royal Highness the King of Jin is here......"

Xiang Shaolong sighed secretly: "Never die!" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "You don't have to be nervous, I didn't know you were here, and I didn't come here for you." It's rare for me to be free after I resigned, so I came out to play, and I just came down from the mound, but I didn't expect to meet you. ”

Guan Zhongxie thought that he had heard it wrong, and when he was the prime minister of the dynasty and the head of a hundred officials, he actually resigned. In order to climb up, we will do whatever it takes, but Xiang Shaolong gave up the power in his hands, could it be that he was deposed?

The prime minister of Daqin is not so easy to be, Lu Buwei is like this, and Xiang Shaolong is afraid that it is the same.

But looking at his expression, he is indeed not lonely, he looks at ease, but these are not things that he can delve into. It is enough for me to save my life all these years, and the pride and ambition of the year are long gone.

Only then did Xiang Shaolong notice that the young man next to him was in his teens, but he was much taller and stronger than his peers, and the most important thing was that he had heavy pupils.

Xiang Shaolong's heart moved, but he didn't move, just asked lightly, "Is this your son?" ”

Guan Zhong said evilly: "No, this is a disciple I just received, and I practice swordsmanship casually, called Xiang Ji." ”

Xiang Shaolong's heart shook violently: "The overlord of Western Chu! ”

But he still asked the child lightly, "Oh, where are you from?" How long have you been studying with your master? ”

Xiang Ji's eyes were blazing, staring at Xiang Shaolong and said, "I came from Huiji, and I have just studied with the master for more than a year. ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Huiji is far away from here, how can you go to such a far place to study art?" ”

Guan Zhongyi was afraid that Xiang Shaolong would think too much, thinking that he was not honest in Shu and could hook up with people so far away, so he was restless, and hurriedly said: "It's just a little prestige of my master." My master saw that Zhai was as famous as the sword saint Cao Qiudao, Cao Qiudao was beheaded by His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and his disciples did not get any true inheritance. When the child's uncle heard that I was here, he sent him to me to learn art, and I saw that the boy was very qualified, so I accepted him. ”
