Fusu looked at Cao Xiu and couldn't help but smile.

"Huh? What about Ah Zheng? ”

"Ah Zheng?"

Wang Ben frowned incomprehensibly.

Cao Xiu tried to stay calm, and said with a smile: "It's just two orphans and homeless people, and I took them in and left them in the house." Perhaps he was frightened by the invincible momentum of Tongwu Hou, so he ran away in a panic. ”

"Heh......" Wang Ben smiled coldly and said indifferently: "When I captured the acting king in the past, one of his sons was right. Later, he was moved to Xianyang, but he escaped from Xianyang one day in a riot, and he has not been found yet, could it be him? ”

"Ahem, how could it be ......"

"It's good if not."

Cao Xiu struggled to keep her composure.

In fact, his back was soaked with sweat.

Wang Ben showed an imperceptible smile, which was naturally arranged by the emperor. It is to make Cao Xiu believe in the identity of the emperor, so as not to have any doubts in the future. In addition, he is also here to spur Cao Xiu.

After getting along for so long, Qin Shi Huang also figured out Cao Xiu's temperament. This is a lazy cow, and he won't move without whipping him twice. Therefore, Wang Ben has to mention two sentences this time, so that Cao Xiu can make more contributions and go to the internal history as soon as possible.

"Come on, come on, please come inside the Marquis of Tongwu. Cao'er, tell the cook to prepare more meals today. It's not easy for so many soldiers outside, so prepare for them. ”

"Yui!"

Wang Ben looked at Cao Xiu in surprise.

I have to say, this kid is really good at being a man.

He walked behind, looking left and right. In addition to observing the situation in the courtyard, he is also considering how to arrange the secret whistle.

"Tongwu Hou, please take a seat."

"Hmm."

Wang Ben was not polite, and sat down straight. Cao Xiu motioned to Lao Zhou to hurry up and bring the treasured wine, and poured a large glass for the person.

Smelling the fragrant aroma of wine, Wang Ben drank it all directly, and then said with a smile: "The wine that can make Prime Minister Zuo Cheng full of praise is really extraordinary." ”

"Tongwu Hou likes it, so I'll take some with me when I go."

"Hahaha!" Wang Ben smiled heartily, "The old man drank your wine, and I'm afraid that he won't be interested in other wines anymore after he stays in Pinyang." Say, "How should this be?" ”

"Huh?"

"Why don't you go to the inner history as an official?"

"The Marquis of Tongwu is really good at laughing......"

"The old man is not joking." Wang Ben stroked his white beard and said very seriously: "If it is decided today, Xianyang also needs virtuous ministers and capable officials." You are already a village husband, and if you continue to be promoted, it will be a county order. The county magistrate must be non-local to take office. ”

"It's still early."

"If it's another countryman, it might take five years, ten years, or even more." Wang Ben paused and continued: "But for you, maybe it will be another year or two. The old man has read the admonition you wrote, every word is beautiful, and everything you write and think makes sense, but it is a little immature and idealistic. ”

"Thanks to the praise of the Marquis of Tongwu."

Cao Xiu smiled and raised her hand.

I have to say, this wave of rainbow farts is really cool.

Can you get Wang Ben's approval, but you won't take off?

Wang Ben lifted the wine bottle, drank it all again, and said with emotion: "This old man didn't drink it for nothing, so I'll tell you some news." The Assassins have been captured, Surabaya County has been unsealed, and in a few days the old man and the prime minister will return to Xianyang to join the emperor. You can know that His Majesty is quite angry this time. ”

"Uh, because of the Assassins?"

"It's not all." Wang Ben shook his head, "There have always been assassins, and there are countless people who want His Majesty's life. His Majesty is angry because of the magistrates of Langya, Donghai and other counties, and he does not seek merit but seeks no fault, and even colludes with anti-thieves. Such traitors and thieves should not be killed?! ”

"Kill!!"

Fusu couldn't help but speak.

Cao Xiu touched her nose in embarrassment.

MMP, he said this in his heart.

Wang Ben sighed and said helplessly: "The old land of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong is not as clear as the rule of the internal historians. I heard that some county magistrates colluded with local tyrants to make profits, has Cao Sheng ever heard of it? ”

"I haven't seen ...... yet"

"Huh!" Wang Ben snorted coldly and continued: "The old man was in Xiao County not long ago, and he encountered an interesting case. Someone found out that the local land tax was wrong, so they reported it to the villagers. As a result, the townsman said that he was not in charge, and said that the matter had to be ordered by the county. After arriving at the county magistrate's office, he asked him to find the township man directly under him......"

"Ahem!"

That's what a typical kick of the ball.

I was busy for several days, but it turned out that the hair was useless.

"Wu Qin Fayun: Whenever there is something to ask for, you must use a book, no mouth, no restraint." Wang Benchang sighed and continued: "It's just that in the old land of the nations, many county magistrates don't abide by this rule. His Majesty has ordered strict investigations in all localities. Those who do not follow, move! ”

"It's really impossible."

Cao Xiu shrugged helplessly.

Especially the old officials of Qidi, they have only been in obedience to the Qin State for two years, and it is unrealistic to expect to completely comply with the Qin law. Moreover, Qin Fa was too cumbersome and harsh, even he sometimes felt that his scalp was numb.

There are also detailed regulations on the matter of writing documents. For example, the county magistrates and their subordinates may use willow or other wood that can be written and cut into wooden squares for writing; If there is no wooden square, woodblock can be used. The length of the case is one foot, which is the so-called ruler. To record different things, you have to use different specifications of simple ......

"Over the years, the ruler has become more and more expensive, and it used to cost only more than ten dollars to get a roll, but now it has more than tripled. Just because all places need rulers to come and go, the rulers sent to Xianyang every day are counted by cars. Up to the weighing stone to measure the book, day and night there is a presentation, not in the presentation of no rest. If you can solve this matter, it will be a great achievement! ”

Wang Ben smiled and looked at Cao Xiu, this matter was naturally requested by the emperor. Previously, Cao Xiu held a ruler to promote the decree under his rule, and it was mentioned that there was a thing called paper, which could replace the ruler. At that time, Qin Shi Huang didn't care, but later saw that Cao Xiu always had all kinds of whimsical ideas, and he became interested in the paper he said.

"Your subordinates will do everything they can."

Cao Xiu stood up and made a gesture.

To put it bluntly, it is actually the paper that we are talking about. The cost of paper in the early stage will not be low, but it is much lighter than bamboo slips. He remembered that the paper was first from the Baqiao paper in the Western Han Dynasty, and later improved by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was not until Huan Xuan in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty ordered that paper be used instead of Jane, and it was really completely replaced. After all, compared with bamboo slips, paper actually has disadvantages.

However, he doesn't have to think about it now.

Wang Ben smiled faintly, "If other officials listen to the old man say this, they must refrain again and again." You are the only one who took this matter over, and I think you had a plan early on. ”

"Ahem!"

"In addition, this is a matter within the Qin officials." Wang Ben paused and continued: "There is no need to use others as a pretense, or to pick it up. Don't worry about it, the old man guarantees that no one dares to hold you accountable. ”

“……”

Cao Xiu raised his hand embarrassedly and thanked him, he could only say that Wang Ben was worthy of being a big man, and he must have checked him out before coming. But Wang Ben did give him a wake-up call, papermaking has been prepared for so long, and it should be shining!
