Chapter 80

In the Qin Dynasty, only Shangqing could keep private soldiers in captivity at home, and once Great Qin needed it, he had to dedicate his private soldiers to Great Qin.

And the merchant has money, but there is no way to keep private soldiers in captivity, at most a few strong people are invited to protect their goods with sticks, after all, the sword soldier is strictly controlled in Daqin.

Now, there will be a large number of soldiers in the Great Qin army who will retire, and these will either return to work in the fields, but most of them will rely on their little skills in military middle school and become hooligans at home.

And Qin, the security company, is to gather these people and give them a chance to make money, so that they will not become hooligans in the family.

In order for the security personnel of the security company to be hired, it must have the characteristics of the security company.

The soldiers who retired from the accident thought that they should be able to hold swords.

For this reason, Qin Xi retired and ran back to Xianyang to apply for this matter.

Nowadays, there are many departments in Daqin, but sometimes these departments are empty, thinking that there are not enough officials.

However, it is said that the first emperor will hold the first imperial examination in history after the beginning of spring next year to select officials. Of course, this is also one of Qin Xi's masterpieces.

Qin Xi came by himself in a carriage today, and he didn't go back to his small home in Xianyang, but went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The street is really deserted, and because most of the people who live there are officials, vendors and pedestrians generally don't show up here.

It can be seen that there are many families outside these officials' mansions who are clearing the snow in front of the door, but there is no conversation with each other, and everything seems so peaceful.

When Qin Xi came to the door of Prime Minister Li Si's mansion, he was stopped by his family.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Jia Ding asked.

"Trouble to inform the Prime Minister, Qin Xi asks to see you." Qin Xi said.

"Wait here, don't wander around." The family glanced at Qin Xi, and then walked into the mansion.

After a while, Li Si actually came out in person.

"How can Mr. Xi have time to come to the cold house today, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome." Li Si laughed.

Li Si's politeness made Qin Xi a little uncomfortable, and said, "Prime Minister, you make Qin Xi a little unafraid." ”

"Hahaha!" Li Si smiled even more happily and said, "Don't laugh at Gongzi Xi, please inside." ”

Qin Xi followed Li Si uncomfortably, Li Si was very enthusiastic and introduced Qin Xi all the way. What flowers came from, where did they come from, were they given by His Majesty the Emperor, etc.

Entering the hall, Li Si did not sit on the main seat, but only sat on the flat seat.

Li Si asked, "I don't know what happened to Mr. Xi's visit today?" ”

Qin Xi didn't talk nonsense, and directly said his intention.

Li Si frowned and said, "The security company that Gongzi said is indeed good, but the old man thinks that the use of this sword is impossible." ”

"Why?" Qin Xi asked.

"According to Childe, once the security company is in operation, it can absorb at least a thousand veterans. But Childe has thought that once these retired soldiers have swords in their hands, it will be an army. Lees said.

Qin Xi said with a smile: "The Prime Minister has misunderstood, what I ask for is not that everyone can hold a sword soldier, I just hope that those who have good strength in the security company can have a sword soldier, because the task they undertake will also be more dangerous." ”

Li Si nodded and said, "That's okay, but this matter still needs Your Majesty's approval, and the old man will play Your Majesty for your son." ”

"Then thank you, Prime Minister." Qin Xi said.

Li Si said at this time: "Childe, there is a sentence that the old man still has to remind Childe. ”

"Your Excellency, please speak." Qin Xi said.

"If you want to register, don't use this word. The division is mostly used for official titles, in case someone with a heart is not good for the son. Lees said.

Qin Xi was taken aback, got up and arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your advice, Qin Xi remembered." ”

Qin Xi hadn't thought about it so much before, but now after Li Si's reminder, Qin Xi let out a cold sweat.

In ancient times, the word "division" could not be used indiscriminately in business, otherwise there would be problems.

After Qin Xi left, Li Si immediately entered the palace.

After hearing this, the First Emperor asked, "Does this stinky boy have any gifts for you?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Childe didn't leave anything behind." Lees said.

"Hahaha! This stupid boy, begging people to do things, and not knowing how to give gifts, is really an idiot. If you don't give gifts, how can others help you? The First Emperor laughed.

Li Si said: "The minister thinks that Gongzi is doing the right thing. ”

"Oh, tell me." The First Emperor laughed.

Li Si analyzed: "The prince wants the ministers to do things, but there is no gift in his hands. The first is to avoid the crime of bribery, and the second is to imply that the bribery is owed favors, without a trace. ”

The First Emperor nodded and said, "In this way, those who see people asking for help and drive people away without bringing gifts are stupid. ”

"This is just the minister's speculation." Lees said.

The First Emperor drank tea and said, "Then Xi owes you a great favor now." ”

"I don't dare." Li Si hurriedly said: "The prince wants the ministers to do things, and the ministers should do their best and not get anything in return." ”

"This tea is really good, much better than wine." The First Emperor said faintly.

Li Siren sat opposite the First Emperor, but he didn't dare to raise his head at this time.

The First Emperor suddenly asked, "Li Si, what do you think will happen if I take back the mines in the world to Great Qin and only sell them to those who want to mine them?" ”

Li Si raised his head and said, "If Your Majesty wants to recover the world's minerals, you must start with the clan. ”

"Since the unification of Great Qin, the clan has been crazy about accumulating money in Great Qin, and it has controlled a large number of salt and iron minerals under the banner of salt and iron officials. What's more, it is a private circle of slave mining, which has violated many laws of Daqin. ”

"Yes, sometimes I really feel that some sects are blood-sucking leeches on my Great Qin, and it's time to clean them up." The First Emperor said.

Li Si said, "Your Majesty, the time is not yet ripe. ”

"Tell me." The First Emperor said lightly.

Li Si said: "Now that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have not been cleared, the Great Qin has not yet completed the reform of governing the country, and the sons of a hundred schools are eyeing each other, and now the clan cannot be chaotic." ”

First Emperor Wei Wei nodded and said, "The nail of the sect is too deep, and it is really not easy to pull it out." ”

The emperor suddenly changed his tone and said, "Li Si, do you think it will be effective for me to let Xi deal with the problem in Xuzhou?" ”

"This minister doesn't know that most of the gentry in Xuzhou are former Wuyue nobles, with profound heritage and high prestige in the local area, which is really difficult to govern." Lees said.

"Now that the hearts of the people of Daqin are gradually stabilizing, according to the news, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have flocked to Xuzhou in large numbers, and they need the support of the Xuzhou gentry. I plan to take this opportunity to uproot the Xuzhou gentry! And, Xi is the best candidate. The First Emperor said as he drank his tea.

"Your Majesty, isn't it a bit risky to use Gongzi Xi as bait?" Lees asked.

"My son, there are some things that must be taken on."
