Chapter 26: Meng Yi
CHAPTER XXVI
"Click! Click! Click! ”
A soldier rode a war horse and a small flag behind him and galloped through the city of Xianyang.
Everyone retreated, but no one dared to stop the soldier's horse. Because this soldier sent an emergency report of 800 miles, those who blocked it were punished by the nine clans.
The soldiers rode horses and entered the Xianyang Palace directly in front of the eyes of the people of Xianyang City and the scholars, and everyone knew that something important must have happened.
Soon a war report was handed over to the case of the First Emperor, and the general Meng Tian led his army to defeat the Xiongnu and recover the land of Henan.
Suddenly, the ministers were excited, the land of the Henan Plain was fertile, and now that it has been recovered, it can be said that the national strength of Great Qin will inevitably increase.
The First Emperor was also very happy and said, "Meng Tian's military exploits will be recorded for the time being, and he will be rewarded in the future." ”
Li Si stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Henan has been recovered, and we should immigrate as soon as possible, and build a house this year, just in time for next year's spring ploughing." ”
"Prime Minister, leave this matter to you to arrange, but remember, don't force the people to relocate, everything is mainly voluntary." The First Emperor said.
"Whoa!"
The First Emperor asked: "Spread the edict to Mengwu to stop the southern expedition and order Mengwu to stay in Chudi." ”
"Your Majesty, the remnants of the Chu State fled south to the barbarian land, if you give up the southern expedition at this time, I am afraid that the remnants of the Chu State will have a chance to take advantage of it." A minister stepped forward and said.
"It's just a group of clowns who jump off the beam, you don't have to bother with it, the urgent thing at the moment is to stabilize the people of Kanto and restore the national strength of our Great Qin as soon as possible." The First Emperor said.
"General, you want to recommend Meng Yi, the son of Meng Wu, to enter the court as an official, let him go to Qin Xi to study first." The First Emperor continued.
"Whoa!"
After the court meeting, Li Si stopped Wang Jian and said, "The general has heard that His Majesty the Emperor asked Kong Jia to stay in the palace last night. ”
Wang Jian said: "I heard about it, but who His Majesty the Emperor reuses, that is His Majesty the Emperor's own business, so don't think about it." ”
"Your Excellency Prime Minister now has the responsibility of changing the rule of law, and Your Excellency should know better than me that Your Majesty will not take away the rights of Your Excellency Prime Minister, and there is still a long way to go to change the law." Wang Jian said with a smile.
Li Si asked, "How is the reform in the army?" ”
Wang Jian said: "Everything is going well, Prime Minister, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask the son more, so as not to be at a loss." ”
"Thank you, General, for your advice." Li Si arched his hand and said.
After Wang Jian returned the salute, he left Xianyang Palace directly and went to Mengfu.
Hearing that General Wang Jian was coming, Meng Yi hurriedly put down the bamboo slips in his hand and hurriedly walked out to greet Wang Qian.
"Meng Yi see the general." Meng Yi saluted.
"No need to be polite, I have already recommended you to His Majesty the Emperor in the court today." Wang Jian said.
"Thank you, General, I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor said?" Meng Yi's mother, Mrs. Meng, came out and asked.
Wang Jian said: "His Majesty the Emperor means that Meng Yi will go to Qin Xi's side first, that is, my second brother's side to study first. ”
"But that little Lord Qin Xi who is now famous in Xianyang?" Mrs. Meng asked.
"Exactly, the old man also felt that Meng Yi could go and learn more from Qin Xi. Although Qin Xi is young now, he has won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and has great talents. Wang Jian said.
"Since it is the order of His Majesty the Emperor, then Yi'er, you can go. Remember, you should be humble and not arrogant. Mrs. Meng said.
"Mother rest assured, Yi'er will not let me be disgraced by my family." Meng Yi said.
Wang Jian said: "It just so happens that my younger brother has something to do with the old man today, so the old man will take you over with him." ”
"There's General Law." Meng Yi immediately followed Wang Jian out of the door.
After Wang Jian took Meng Yi out of the city, he rode a war horse and went directly to the direction of the paper mill.
A large road has been repaired in this direction, and caravans have shuttled through this avenue, most of which are loaded with ceramics.
There were also some carriages and horses, covered with a layer of cloth, and I don't know what was inside, they were not high, but they seemed to be very heavy, and the carriages went very slowly.
After arriving in the town, Wang Jian directly asked the guards to take him to Qin Xi.
At this time, Qin Xi was directing the printing work in the printing house. Now these women are working in groups of three, and they are basically able to complete the printing work, although not fast, but they are slowly becoming proficient.
Qin Xi divided the entire printing house into several units, one unit responsible for one volume.
After printing, it will be sent to the binding area for sorting and sorting, and for this reason, Qin Xi also designed the page numbers under the book.
After Wang Jian and Meng Yi came here, they saw strong men moving a book to a warehouse, and there was a woman in the warehouse in command.
When Meng Yi saw this woman, he exclaimed, "That's not the prime minister's ......."
Wang Jian covered Meng Yi's mouth, and after seeing that no one was paying attention, he said: "Here, no matter who you meet, don't reveal their identity, otherwise Your Majesty will not be able to eat well after being blamed." ”
Meng Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Big brother! Why do you have time to come here? At this time, Qin Xi came out to rest, and saw Wang Jian well.
Wang Jian stepped forward with a smile and said, "I have something to look for you." ”
"What's the matter?" Qin Xi asked.
Wang Jian pulled Meng Yi over and said, "This is Meng Yi, His Majesty the Emperor asked him to come to you to study." ”
Qin Xi was taken aback, good guy, Meng Yi! Great Qin Inner Pillar, only Meng Yi can sit in a carriage with the First Emperor in the world, and he is more favored than Li Si.
Qin Xi didn't expect that the First Emperor would put such a great god to himself to learn from him.
Qin Xi pulled Wang Jian and asked in a low voice: "Big brother, you're not kidding, the Meng family is one of the most trusted families of the First Emperor, this Meng Yi is older than me at first glance, come to study with me, won't you." ”
Wang Jian said bluntly: "This is what His Majesty the Emperor said in the court. ”
Qin Xi scratched his head and said to Meng Yi: "Although it is said that this is an order from His Majesty the Emperor, I still feel that I am not worthy." ”
"Lord Qin is polite, now Lord Qin's name is already known to everyone in Xianyang City. His Majesty the Emperor called Zai Xia to study with Lord Qin, and there must be other deep meanings. Meng Yi said.
Qin Xi looked at Wang Jian and saw Wang Jian looking left and right, not at all like mixing.
Qin Xi sighed silently in his heart, and said to Wang Qian: "Big brother, you first send him to my courtyard in the city to learn simplified Chinese characters with Dr. Kong, here are basically simplified characters." ”
"Okay, but what are you calling me here for?" Wang Jian asked.
"Follow me." Qin Xi waved his hand and said.
After Qin Xi took Wang Jian into the courtyard, he saw that there were many weapons in this courtyard, and the style was something that Wang Jian had never seen.
"What are these?" Wang Jian asked.
"I asked someone to build a new weapon, big brother, you try it." Qin Xi said with a smile.
Qin Xi made some well-known cold weapons such as the future Tang knife, Mo knife, Mongolian scimitar, and Qijia knife.
Wang Jian picked up a Tang knife and found that it was completely made of iron, looking at the cold light blooming on it, Wang Jian decided that this was definitely a good knife.
"Good knives!" Meng Yi also praised after seeing it on the side.
