Chapter 51: The Arrival of the Mini Mission
Qin Xi guessed right, there are really people in the court who want to be foolish, and they are from the clan.
In fact, it is not surprising that most of the iron and copper mines in Great Qin are in the hands of the clan, and only Qin Xi is not controlled by the clan.
The most important thing is that Qin Xi has the technology to make steel, which is unique.
Although the steel plant is actually under the control of Emperor Daqin, Qin Xi, who is a nominal speaker, can still get a lot of dividends.
Mi Yu was pulled up by Qin Xi, although he was surnamed Mi, he was loyal to Qin Xi.
Therefore, the clan wanted to take this opportunity to arrange their own people to replace Mi Yu, so that Qin Xi's control over the steel plant would be much smaller.
However, just when the First Emperor didn't know what to do with Mi Yu, Mi Yu offered a horseshoe, which could increase the combat life of the war horse.
The first emperor immediately rejoiced, and the merits and demerits were offset, and he was not rewarded, but he would not punish the crime.
And the people of the clan can't help it, the importance of the horseshoe to the war horse is even higher than the saddle and stirrups, which is enough to offset the previous sins of Mi Yu.
At the same time, another person who shook the government and the opposition even more appeared.
Meng Yi held a few books, saying that they were the outline of the Great Qin Law that was revised for Great Qin.
If it were someone else, the ministers would have scolded him for not knowing the height of the sky, but in the face of Meng Yi, no one could scold him.
Meng Yi's talent has long been spread, and even the First Emperor has asked many times, coupled with the background of the Meng family, to be honest, even if Meng Yi says that he opposes the change of the law, there must be many people who support it.
Meng Yixiu's Great Qin Law was very valued by the First Emperor, and the court meeting on this day was held until the afternoon, and there was no intention of dispersing.
Until Wang Ben came back and reported that the mission of the Kingdom of Ji had arrived.
But how can the First Emperor have time to pay attention to the envoys of the Ji Kingdom now, let Wang Ben settle them, and then ask Wang Ben to call Qin Xi to take charge of the mission.
Wang Ben was very confused, what was it that made the entire court unable to spare a little time.
Wang Ben had no choice but to settle the Ji State Mission, and then hurry up to find Qin Xi.
At this time, Qin Xi was playing with mud, and the white deer on the side kept rolling his eyes and mocking Qin Xi for being naΓ―ve, such an adult was still playing with mud.
Qin Xi said bitterly, is he playing with mud, is he making cement?
Qin Xi's hands were full of grass and wood ash and mud, and there was a lot of splashing on his body, and the whole person looked sloppy.
Bailu hid away with an angry face, yesterday he was angry that this guy didn't even ask, but today he actually pulled himself to play with the mud, it was too much!
Bailu couldn't wait to kick Qin Xi into the mud now, he was so angry.
"Bailu, help me get some water." Qin Xi said.
Bailu's anger suddenly surged, and he went to fetch a bucket of water in a huff, and when he came back, he heard Qin Xi complaining that he was slow.
Bailu looked at Qin Xi is getting more and more angry, and finally poured a bucket of water directly on Qin Xi, threw the bucket, and said, "Qin Xi! You bastard! β
Qin Xi watched Bailu run away angrily, with a puzzled face, what happened to this girl?
I thought that making cement was like playing with mud, and I should be very happy, but why did I suddenly get angry?
Qin Xi saw that there was no one here by the river, so he took off his wet clothes and continued to play with the mud.
On the other side, Wang Ben entered the town, but he didn't find Qin Xi, and only found Qin Xi's whereabouts from the angry Bailu.
After Wang Ben came over, he was also jumped by Qin Xi.
A big man, naked playing with mud by the river, with two large bags of mud in a sack next to him, and a bucket of water next to him, is really weird.
After Qin Xi saw Wang Ben, he washed his hands and asked, "You are back, do you have anything to do with me?"
Only then did Wang Ben remember his purpose, turned over and dismounted, and said: "The mission of the Kingdom of Ji has arrived, and His Majesty has sent an edict to you to receive the delegation of the Kingdom of Ji." β
"Mikoku?" Qin Xi recalled it, it should be the Jizi chaoxian in history.
Qin Xi said: "Wasn't this Ji country a subject of the Yan country before? Is it to pay tribute? β
"I didn't expect you to know this Ji country quite well, Ji Guo came to be a minister, and sent the remnants of Yan Guo back, but unfortunately because of the attack of the remnants of Yan Kingdom, the remnants of Yan Kingdom died in the chaos." Wang Ben said.
"Since I'm here to be a minister, what else do I have to receive, I still have something to do." Qin Xi said.
Wang Ben looked at the mud pit on the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and said: "Even if the country of Ji is called a minister, it is still a country, and it still has to come according to the number of etiquette." β
"If you don't go for me, I'm not done yet." Qin Xi said.
"Your Majesty asked me to call you, you let me go, do you think it's appropriate?" Wang Ben rolled his eyes and said.
"Okay, okay, then you wait for me." Qin Xi took out the two mud balls in the small fire kang, and then wrapped them up, and then returned to the town with Wang Ben.
Qin Xi first took the mud ball and told the housekeeper that he didn't know anything, and then he went into the house to change his clothes.
Wang Ben frowned and said, "Why don't you wear an official uniform?" β
Qin Xi waved his hand and said, "Since I became an official, I haven't seen an official uniform, let's go, a small country." β
Wang Ben is also helpless, as an official of Great Qin, he has no official uniform, so Qin Xi is alone.
The two of them hurried up, and finally returned to Xianyang City before evening.
Before Qin Xi went to see the envoy of the Ji Kingdom, he also took a detour to get two jars of wine, according to Qin Xi's statement, as long as the other party has a jar of wine, whatever I say, that's what.
The mission of the Kingdom of Ji was arranged in the former Pavilion of the Yan Kingdom, which was where the envoys of the Kingdom of Yan lived.
However, since the Yan Kingdom was destroyed, it has become a home prepared for the Yan royal family, but unfortunately the Yan royal family is basically dead, and no one is in Xianyang.
So this became the foothold of the mission of the Mini National Division.
Seeing that he was arranged in such a good place, the mission of the Mini Kingdom suddenly straightened his waist and his tone became confident.
After all, being able to live in such a good place shows that the Qin State attaches great importance to their Ji Kingdom.
This time, the mission of the Kingdom of Ji was dominated by a person named Ji Chang, and Ji Chang enjoyed it as soon as he entered the hall, and even ignored their princess at all.
After all, in the country of Ji, the status of women is very low, even if it is a princess, officials can directly ignore it.
"My lord, the things are already in order." The subordinate officials came over and reported.
"Yes, let's rest." Ji Chang said and directly threw out a small piece of gold and rewarded it to the official.
This is the subordinate of the gatekeeper who came to report and said, "My lord, the officials of the Qin State are here. β
"Let them in." Ji Chang said casually.
Hearing the doorman's words, Wang Ben and Qin Xi were a little surprised.
I asked someone to go in to report it to tell you that I was coming, so I hurried out to greet me, but I didn't come out.
"It's rude!" Wang Ben said angrily.
"It seems that the ambassador has not yet recognized the situation." Qin Xi said.
"So what do we do?" Wang Ben asked.
"Daqin's face must be there." Qin Xi suddenly raised a jar of wine, slammed it on the ground, and said loudly: "The officials of Great Qin are here, and they don't come out quickly to greet them!" Don't you even know the most basic etiquette? β
Ji Chang was tidying up his clothes inside, waiting for the officials of the Qin State to come in.
Suddenly, Qin Xi's angry shouts came in, which frightened Ji Chang, and then he reacted, he was here to be a minister.
So he hurriedly ran out with a group of subordinate officials.
