The moonlight is like silver, and the night breeze blows through the solemn Daqin Palace.

In a side hall of the Qin Palace, sixty-six bronze lamps of different shapes bloomed brightly, illuminating the entire space in the hall.

The First Emperor sat on the couch in a comfortable position, his face still had a slightly drunken ruddy face, and there was a faint smell of wine between his mouth and nose.

His eyes were still bright and bright, and his gaze jumped over the wooden case with a map rolled in front of him, and he looked at the woman in the temple with interest.

This is a rare woman who can arouse his interest.

He is the lord of the world, there are thousands of women in the palace, just after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the women gathered from the Six Kings' Palace are already too many to count.

What was the number of women in the palace last reported?

Three thousand?

Six thousand?

Ten thousand?

There are so many women that the First Emperor can't remember.

At his current age, he is not very interested in women, and after going through too much, that's all.

After Hu Hai, he didn't have a son for a long time.

The first emperor only had Qin in his heart, and there was only this world.

When Zhao Tuo had not yet made paper, he measured the book with weighing stones, and presented it day and night, and he could not rest if he did not submit it. He will never sleep until he finishes the paperwork of the approved weight every day.

Now with the good thing of paper, the weight of the paper has been greatly reduced, making it easier and more convenient to review, and tasks that used to take a whole day to complete can now be completed in half a day.

But again, because of the advent of paper, he has to deal with several times more tasks.

After the first emperor discovered the benefits of paper office, in the year of Zhao Tuo's Northern Expedition, all kinds of large and small paper mills were spread out in various counties and counties of Qin State, and craftsmen and concubines from all over the country continued to produce a huge amount of paper.

Officials at all levels of the county and county all use paper to work, which greatly improves administrative efficiency, and the shortcomings of bamboo slips are inconvenient to transport and not much writing, which leads to the omission of many things when local governments report to Xianyang.

Nowadays, because the paper is light and the number of words is large, the number of things reported in various places has greatly increased, and it has increased several times in the past.

In addition, the fact that the great armies went out to conquer, the wars that went to war in all directions, the construction of galloping straight roads in various places, and the unification of currency, weights and measures, and the unification of writing, and other policies that were being implemented, the information that the whole country gathered to the central government every day was very enormous.

The First Emperor was also a lord who "decided on everything in the world, no matter how big or small".

At the beginning of the world, there are many things, and he must be extremely attentive, and he is not at ease with anyone.

Under such circumstances, the work mode of the First Emperor was naturally different from the past.

He no longer calculates his workload by the weight of the bamboo slips, but by the hours he works.

Five hours a day, that is, ten hours of time for the future to review documents.

Then coupled with all kinds of miscellaneous things such as court meetings, inspections, and meetings with courtiers, he still had to be busy until midnight every day, so how could he have any idea of pampering women.

After a long time, this kind of thinking fades.

It's just that Su Jiasha, the noble daughter of the Yue clan who is kneeling in front of him now, is different from all the women he has ever seen, and it is rare to attract his attention.

High nose and deep eyes, slightly curly hair.

The erect facial features give the whole face a unique beauty, and the healthy complexion forged by the grassland wind and frost is also very peculiar compared to the fairness of the women in the palace.

Especially those blue eyes, it is hard to forget at a glance.

Even if the first emperor is the son of heaven and has seen countless women, he has seen a lot of orchids, but he has never seen a woman of this appearance.

Sugartha knelt down and got up, and then she felt the emperor's gaze.

He was the Emperor of Great Qin.

The master of the entire Qin State can recruit millions of troops with a single order and set foot in any corner of the world.

With the blessing of this power, his gaze has a very intimidating sense of oppression, even if Sugarsha has a resolute personality, his scalp is still numb when he is watched.

When she entered Xianyang, she saw the emperor's magnificent and magnificent, sky-like palace, and was deeply impressed by it, thinking that it was a miracle and a miracle, and admired it very much.

But now, what came to her mind was what she had heard, that the emperor's palace was full of women from all over the world.

They were the emperor's women, numbering thousands, living in splendid palaces, living a life of fine clothes and fine food every day, and their only expectation was to wait for the emperor's favor, and the only goal was to give birth to his children for the emperor.

Thinking of this, Sugartha shuddered.

She was a child of the grassland, a horse that should have galloped on the grassland, an eagle falcon flying between the heavens, a canary trapped in the palace and raised, that was not the life she wanted.

Not to mention, in her heart, there is someone more attractive than the emperor in front of her.

Su Jiasha stubbornly said: "I don't know what Your Majesty has to call your concubines to come?" ”

The First Emperor did not answer, but said lightly: "Are you a little nervous? ”

Su Jiasha bowed her head and said: "The concubine is a native of the grassland, she has just entered the Great Qin, and she is very nervous when she meets the Supreme and is intimidated by His Majesty's divine martial arts. ”

The First Emperor smiled and said, "Your Qin language is good, and your etiquette is quite good, how do you learn it?" ”

Su Jiasha said: "The concubines have admired the weathering of the Great Qin since childhood, and every time a merchant from Qin comes to the Yue clan to trade, the concubine will ask them for advice. As for etiquette, on the way to Xianyang, the concubines were afraid of being rude to the king, so they asked the general for advice. ”

At the end of the sentence, Sugartha's eyes flashed with a touch of softness and remembrance.

The First Emperor bowed slightly, turned the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and said in a somewhat teasing manner: "The Marquis of Wugong wrote a book before, and he once said that you are quite wise, and even the plan for the Huns was also thought up." If you are so wise, do you know what I have called you to? ”

As he spoke, the First Emperor's gaze surveyed her body, as if admiring the posture of this alien beauty.

But Sugartha had calmed down at this time, and in the face of this gaze, she was no longer nervous.

She looked left and right.

It was noted that this side hall was not a place for the emperor to sleep and rest, and there were eunuchs standing around him.

Then, she saw the thick silk rolled up on the large case in front of the emperor.

Su Jiasha took a deep breath and remembered that when she was learning etiquette from Zhao Tuo, she had also asked the general how she could be used by the emperor.

The general thought for a moment and said, "The emperor likes useful people. With ability and loyalty, you can be reused by the emperor. ”

Thinking of this, Sugartha's heart has settled down.

She saluted the emperor, but did not answer the question raised by the emperor, but instead said to herself: "Great Qin is the master of the Eastern World, and Your Majesty is the supreme emperor of Kyushu. But to the west, there are many more lands and countries. ”

"As far as the concubines know, further west of the land occupied by our Yue Clan, there is the Wusun Kingdom, which is nomadic and slightly inferior in strength to the Yue Clan."

"From Wusun to the west, there is a more vast land, with mountains in the north and south, a river in the center, more than 6,000 miles from east to west, and more than 1,000 miles from north to south. Although the land is crossed by deserts, it is also vast and rich, with many small countries in it. ”

"Such as Loulan, Wuqiang, Jingjue, Shache, Qiuzi......"

Hearing these names, the First Emperor's breathing had become rapid, and he felt a desire rising in his body.

He didn't interrupt Sugartha and continued to listen.

"Although the concubine is the daughter of the Marquis of Guishan, her mother is from the royal family of Dawan (Yuān), so she is different from other Yue's people, precisely because she has the blood of Dawan in her body."

Su Jiasha said calmly: "The concubine's mother once said that Dawan is a large country in the west, with a population of hundreds of thousands, more than 70 cities, rich and rich, and its customs cultivate the fields and eat rice and wheat. There is also a BMW, whose horses can sweat and blood, and travel thousands of miles a day without declining. ”

Hearing this, the First Emperor was already boiling with blood, and that desire could no longer be endured.

He jerked out the curled silk on the table.

Then he stared at Sugartha and said in a deep voice, "You come here." ”

"Come to me!"

Outside the hall, martial arts marquis Zhao Tuo had already arrived at the door.
