On the second day, the Great Hall.

Ying Zheng stretched his waist, cheered up a little, and then began to discuss politics.

Running all the way back to Xianyang, but staying awake all night in the dormitory of Nansu, anyone will feel sleepy.

Ying Zheng looked at Zheng Guo who was standing on the side of the main hall, and called directly, "Zheng Guoqing's house."

"The minister is here." Zheng Guo came out of the queue and bowed down in response.

"I heard that the construction of Zheng Guoqu is nearly halfway there, and now it has encountered some trouble, but is there such a thing?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It does." Zheng Guo said, "This canal will be excavated from the middle section and gradually extended to both sides, and will eventually connect Luoshui with the Jing River. But digging ditches is easy, but how to better irrigate the fertile fields on both sides is not my forte."

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that before this canal is built, the tributary lines that irrigate the fertile fields should be designed in advance, is that true?"

"Exactly." Zheng Guo said.

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers and asked, "Is there anyone in the temple who is proficient in this matter?"

The courtiers looked at each other, and then they all shook their heads.

How can they solve the problem that Zheng Guo, who even repaired the canal, can't solve it.

Ying Zheng looked at Changping Jun again and asked, "Has Xiang Bang recruited people who are proficient in this way in Qin?"

Changping Jun took a step forward and said, "Wechen has recruited on the list, but he has not found anyone capable in this regard."

Ying Zheng frowned, and then looked at Zheng Guodao again: "In your opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"

Zheng Guo said: "The matter of repairing the canal was proposed by Han Fei at the beginning, and the sketch was also drawn by Han Fei, and in terms of fortification and water conservancy, Han Fei's attainments are by no means below Wechen, so Wechen wants to invite Han Fei to conspire with Wechen, I don't know if it is possible?"

Ying Zheng's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "This Han Fei is really a genius, and the widow really wants to meet him."

At this time, Li Si stepped forward and said, "Han Fei is indeed a talent, he once worshiped under Xunzi with Weichen and studied knowledge together."

Li Siming said so, but Ying Zheng knew that this was not the case, but being able to get Li Si's praise showed that Han Fei was indeed outstanding.

"Then ask Han Fei to come over and talk about it." Ying Zheng said, "Since it is almost winter, the matter of repairing the canal should be suspended, so please bother Zheng Guo to go back."

Zheng Guo was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly received his order to thank him.

Although his family members had already been taken to Qin, Korea was his homeland after all, not to mention that Qin was still forced at the beginning, so Zheng Guo was particularly pleased.

After talking about repairing the canal, Ying Zheng looked at Changping Jun again and said, "Xiangbang said yesterday that there are envoys from various countries who want to talk to the widows about business, I wonder what their intentions are?"

"Back to the king." Changping Jun said, "The envoys of the various countries are waiting in the post house, the envoys of Korea and the Yan Kingdom are here to congratulate and talk about business by the way, while the envoys of the other countries are simply trying to further trade with Great Qin."

"Do they know about the widow's journey to the Western Regions?" Ying Zheng asked.

"I've heard of it more or less." Changping Jun replied, "But no matter where Great Qin sells the goods, they claim that they will definitely transport the goods that Great Qin needs to Qin State."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Since this is the case, the widows will not summon them one by one, and according to the purchase price in the bazaar, the treasury will buy the silver."

Meng Tian arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, there are many varieties of tea in these countries with different tastes, and maybe they will be more popular with the Western Regions."

"Yes, the same is true of the brocade, the styles and patterns of the countries are very different, and it must also give the people of the Western Regions more choices." Meng Yi also said.

The two of them went to the Western Regions with them, and of course they knew how much the people of the Western Regions liked Chinese goods.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "That's true, then the matter of purchasing goods and trade will be handed over to Sima Hong."

Changping Jun looked at the ministers in the main hall, and then said to Yingzheng: "Lord Sima is not in Xianyang, this is ......."

Ying Zheng knew Sima

Hong went to collect the original grain seeds, so he said, "He should be back soon in the near future, and when the time comes, he will open a warehouse in Sima Mansion, where merchants from all over the world can also buy goods at will."

"Then Weichen will discuss this matter with Sima Jie first." Changping Jun Road.

"Hmm." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Is there anything else?"

The ministers spoke one after another, mentioning all the matters under their own jurisdiction, and Yingzheng made arrangements one by one.

After retiring from the court, Yingzheng changed his clothes and came to a residence outside the palace.

This is a temporary residence arranged by Zhao Gao for the exquisite ghost hands, and the guests who come from afar, of course, cannot be neglected.

"Thumb senior, are you still used to living here?" Ying Zheng asked, looking at his thumb.

"Hehe, of course I get used to it." Thumb smiled, "This Xianyang climate is much cooler and wetter than ours."

"It's almost winter, of course it will be." Ying Zheng said.

Thumb nodded and asked, "Since it's almost winter, when are we going to the Fire Eye?"

"If it's winter, don't delay making dense stones." Ying Zheng said uncertainly.

"No delay, and it's cooler." Thumb smiled, "The premise is that Huaxia's fire eyes are as hot as the exquisite ones."

"......" Ying Zheng then knew that the thumb was still quite funny, "There are still some political affairs in the temple that have not been dealt with, so in three days, let's go to Lishan together."

"Okay." Thumb said, "How far is that Lishan from here?"

"It's not very far, it's only a day's journey, if you walk faster, you'll be there in half a day." Ying Zheng said.

"How should we prepare the instruments used to make the secret stone?" Thumb asked.

When he came back from Jingjue, Ying Zheng naturally couldn't bring the equipment in the ghost cave, and besides, even if he wanted to, Wu Chan and his thumb couldn't let him.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "It should be the most convenient to make those instruments near the eye of fire, but I don't know if the predecessors of the thumb have relevant patterns and the required material strains."

"Hehe, the patterns are naturally there, but if they are made locally, they may not be complete." Thumb said.

"Then it's better to ask the senior thumb to list the missing materials, and the widow will send someone to prepare them in Xianyang, and then take them to Lishan." Ying Zheng asked for thumb's opinion.

Thumb smiled and nodded, and said, "This is the best, I guess these three days are enough time to prepare."

"The widow went to get pen and ink." Ying Zheng went out and asked Zhao Gao to get pen and ink.

The thumb of the Chinese language is good, but the handwriting is poor, so Ying Zheng wrote down the required materials one by one.

The pattern is also exquisite, Ying Zheng translated all the words, copied them on a brocade silk, and then put away the pattern.

Naturally, Yingzheng could not copy this pattern, so he needed to find a special craftsman to copy it, and then write the text in the corresponding position.

"Thumb senior, what do you have to ask for food and drink?" Ying Zheng asked carefully.

"Nothing to ask for." Thumb smiled and said, "Didn't I say it before, the boys are tired of eating exquisite meals, and it's not bad to change the taste."

"Hehe, in the past few days, the widow will definitely entertain all the ghost hands, if there is anything, just go directly to the palace to find the widow." Ying Zheng said.

"Okay, King Qin bothered." Thumb said.

Ying Zheng chatted with his thumb a few more words, and then left here with the pattern.

Zhao Gao took the pattern to the craftsman to copy, and Yingzheng came to Sima Mansion alone, which was once the Lu Mansion.

After the Lu Mansion was changed to the Sima Mansion, Ying Zheng went to the Western Regions, and now it is just right to see the changes, and more importantly, to see the situation in Jiuding.

There has been no change in the pattern of Sima's Mansion, but it has become a new cultural residence, and life is boiling and lively.

The inner house has changed considerably, with less luxury and more simplicity, and many rooms are empty, and those that live in them are not

A servant and a servant,

Rather, it is the many stewards of Wenzhuju who are responsible for recording and organizing documents.

Ying Zheng swaggered into the inner mansion and went straight to the living room.

"Your Majesty?!" Sima Jie was a little surprised when he saw Yingzheng's sudden visit.

"Hehe, the pick-up in this house is good, and there is a lot of bookishness." Ying Zheng praised with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I've been busy these days, so I didn't go to court today, and I wanted to find time to go to the palace." Sima Jie's voice was not loud, and he explained.

"It doesn't matter." Ying Zheng said, "Didn't the widow tell you a long time ago, as long as you manage the literary house, select good talents, and compile good books, you don't need to go to the court. If something happens to the widow, they will come to you."

"Hmm." Sima Jie replied softly.

"Well, are you still used to living in this house?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It's okay, it's just a little older, and it takes some time to walk from the inner mansion to the outer service." Sima Jie said, "If you go around the outer mansion one more time, it will take longer."

"Hehe, you don't have to do a lot of things yourself, you have to learn to share the responsibilities." Ying Zheng pointed at himself and said, "It's like a widow, if you have to do everything, you will be tired to death, although there are many things that the widow handles by himself."

Sima Jie: "......"

"Okay, let's take the widow to see Jiuding first." Ying Zheng lowered his voice and said.

"Well, please, Your Majesty." After that, Sima Jie walked in front and led the way for Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng asked as he walked, "In terms of talents, how is the selection?"

"Hehe, I've already screened it, just waiting for the king to come back and decide." Sima Jie said with a smile.

"Well done." Ying Zheng seemed to think of something, and then his gaze changed, "However, for those henchmen of Lu Buwei before, the widow doesn't really want to do it."

"Oh?" Sima Jie asked with surprise, "Could it be that the king has other plans?"

Ying Zheng had other plans, but he had completely changed his attitude towards Lu Buwei.

"Huh." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "This newly selected scribe cannot be directly entrusted to reuse, it needs to be cultivated gradually and replaced slowly, if the government and the opposition are too turbulent, it will inevitably be detrimental to the temple."

"That's true." Sima Jie nodded and said, "Weichen thought of this before, but at that time, seeing that the king was so eager, he didn't have to dissuade him."

Ying Zheng stopped, his brows tightened, and he said with a solemn expression: "In the future, if you see that the widow loses his mind and makes a wrong decision, you must remind the widow, remember?"

"Well, Wechen understands." Sima Jie said, "The virtuous ministers of ancient and modern times are all admonishing at the risk of death, and Weichen is not afraid of losing this life."

"Hehe, how can it be so serious." Ying Zheng smiled, "Sometimes, you will indeed be more sober than the widow, and the widow will definitely need your reminder."

"Hehe, Weichen knows that the king is reluctant to kill me." Sima Jie grinned.

"You kid, hahaha......" Ying Zheng laughed happily.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that this trip to the Western Regions had a good effect?" Sima Jie asked.

"Well, that's good." Ying Zhengdao.

"I also heard that the king got a bloody horse?" Sima Jie then asked.

"Hehe, that's a thousand-mile horse." Ying Zheng said proudly.

"I've heard that the person who sends the horse is better?" Sima Jie peeked at Yingzheng.

Who are you listening to?!

It must be the Meng family brothers, they didn't run.

"This Meng Tian and Meng Yi are fast enough." Ying Zheng said hatefully.

"Hehe, how can you hide such things from the king." Sima Jie said with a smile.

"I didn't want to hide it, but the time just hasn't come." Ying Zheng seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, how are your preparations for marriage, didn't the widow say that he will drink your wedding wine when he comes back."

Sima Jie: "......"

What is it called?

Shoot yourself in the foot?
