Chapter 49: One Month
The First Emperor agreed to be fast so that Zhao Si was defenseless.
"Your Majesty, I haven't said who it is." Zhao Si smiled slightly awkwardly and looked at the tank wood carving that was used as a paperweight by the First Emperor.
Since the birth of paperweight, it has been quietly used in daily official reports, and then look at the woodcarved tank used for paperweighting, it is always a bit of a drama when put together.
Well, it's already out of play.
"Zhang Cang is a good talent, and it's a bit condescending to be your guest." The First Emperor shook his head and smiled.
He didn't know what was going on in Zhao Si's mind, and the paper and woodcarved tanks were nothing to say about the First Emperor.
What he felt was the silent change in Great Qin.
It doesn't seem to have changed much, but it seems like a lot has started to change.
It is since the birth of paper, the writing carrier has been updated, the writing speed has improved, and in recent days, the official documents passed over from Xianyang have begun to be a little redundant.
At the beginning, a few hundred words of bamboo slips were already a lot, but now a few hundred words seem to have quietly become a norm.
The official documents passed by the group of left-behind cadres in Xianyang are even more eager to report everything in detail, after all, people are not by the side of the First Emperor, and they have to try their best to let the First Emperor know his dedication.
The content of the twist and turn has a tendency to break through 1,000 words.
"After the paper was put into use, the number of words in the fold became more and more." The first emperor did not continue to dwell on Zhang Cang's problem, Zhao Si wanted this talent, so he gave it.
Zhao Si is considered to be the new generation that the first emperor focused on cultivating, he needs to have his own political power, Zhang Cang, as an old man in the court, is the existence of Zhao Si.
"It should be okay now...... After all, there are still most bamboo slips in the world, and the mainstream style of writing is still based on streamlining. Zhao Si smiled.
This is indeed a trivial annoyance of social progress at the same time.
It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the world, some officials played and wrote tens of thousands of words, Lao Zhu read between the lines for a long time, and there were only a few hundred words to say and tell the facts, and Lao Zhu beat the other party angrily.
Later, in the Qing Dynasty, the local official Yuan who was not loved by his father and mother seized the opportunity to play for the central government, and he could shoot a work of tens of thousands of words just by talking to the horse......
The emperor's workload has increased linearly, and there are still so many things, but there are more junk files~
"Your Majesty can draft official documents and urge hundreds of officials to speak the truth." Zhao Si was also helpless.
There are not many measures that can be done, and as writing becomes more and more convenient, official documents become more and more redundant, which is an inevitable trend.
Even the number of words with literary genres began to increase, this kind of thing is better than bad, literature and word counts are sinking, and the difficulty of appreciation is getting lower and lower.
"Ink ......" The First Emperor waved his hand, and Zhao Si obediently sat aside to study ink for the First Emperor.
It's not a matter to go on like this, but you have to urge the ministers not to let go of themselves, and now hundreds of words and thousands of words will be dealt with for the time being, and when the wind of 10,000 words is popular, the first emperor has a headache when he thinks about it.
……
On the same day, the First Emperor drafted a new rule on words and things, requiring hundreds of officials to be concise, focusing on words and things, and not appearing large irrelevant fragments.
In duplicate, one was sent to Xianyang to the group of left-behind officials, and one was sent to the accompanying civil and military officials.
However, there is no harsh criticism of how many words must be in the fold, and there is no formulation of rules and regulations, just a kind of consolation.
After all, if you don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, the first emperor only said that if you repeatedly don't say anything, there will be some triggers, but the specific punishment is not clear.
The First Emperor was still very oppressive.
As for the redundancy of the local officials' letters, this is difficult to solve, and the father and mother can't send a few telegrams to the first emperor all year round, and it is not realistic for you to insist that people are not allowed to make sycophants.
Most people just hope that after reading his flowery articles, the First Emperor can have a slight impression of himself in his heart.
Who doesn't want to be an official in North Korea?
Who wouldn't want to be able to serve the First Emperor every day?
……
"It's a rainy day again......" On the frame, Zhao Si, who is the main driver, is a little bored.
The drive did not stay long in Yangwu, and not long after catching Zhang Cang and Chen Ping, the first emperor's drive continued to set off.
It rained not long after departure, and the autumn rain continued...... A month flies!
The autumn tiger has become a paper tiger through and through, and a continuous autumn rain has caused the temperature to drop suddenly.
The rain wasn't heavy, it was a bit continuous, and there were hardly a few sunny days these days.
But this does not affect the continuation of the drive, Daqin is hard to say, but the infrastructure is absolutely fine.
Especially road construction.
Daqin's galloping roads and official roads, unless they encounter continuous rainstorms, there may be problems. also
……
On the other side, inside the frame, Zhang Cang, Chen Ping, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang sat around the case.
"Ahem......" Chen Ping coughed
Because of the sudden drop in temperature, there are many people who have caught a cold due to the huge convoy entourage, and Chen Ping is also one of them.
In the afternoon, I was still holding the ice cubes to cool off, but in the evening, a rain directly poured the temperature down, and the ice cubes didn't have time to be removed.
Fortunately, the young man has strong firepower, and Chen Ping's body is not a big problem.
"Please drink to win ......," Zhang Cang raised his glass and looked at Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are now stuffed to Li Si to follow and deal with sundries, learn to exercise their abilities, and Zhang Cang and Chen Ping do not have a lot of intersections, or Zhang Cang specially entrusted Zhao Si and the four of them to meet and have dinner alone.
To be precise, this is the first team building of the disciples supported by Zhao Si's subordinates.
It's a pity that Zhao Si, the chairman, still has to be the driver for the first emperor.
Although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang suddenly became rich, their wealth was for their neighbors.
Now he has become Zhao Si's doorman, following the first emperor to patrol the world, and the people around him are all court officials, and the two of them are just doormen without specific practice, and the impetuousness in their hearts has not had time to flourish before they can be suppressed.
Not to mention, Zhang Cang, the doorman introduced by Zhao Si later.
Zhang Cang has been famous for a long time, but he is the number one person in the court, and he can't tolerate Chen Sheng and Wu Guang being disrespectful.
When they were humble, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were not short of brains or abilities.
"Zhang Yushi, please!" Chen Shenghao drank it all in one go.
In recent days, following Li Si to deal with government affairs, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have indeed learned a lot, and they have also come into contact with a lot of things that were impossible to contact before.
The two of them are like dry sponges, constantly absorbing nutrients, learning the legal system of the Qin State, and constantly making up for the shortcomings of their own foundation.
"I'm no longer the imperial history, if it weren't for the lord to exonerate me, I'm afraid I'm still on the run, now I'm like you, I'm the lord's doorman, I am all colleagues, no need to be formal." Zhang Cang smiled and drank it all in one go.
Zhang Cang took the initiative to put down the shelf and introduced Chen Ping to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
"We are all surnamed Chen, I can't say that hundreds of years ago it was still a ......," Chen Sheng made a big joke.
This is true, in this era, most people with the same surname can trace some relationships.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were already open-minded and easy to make friends, and Zhang Cang and Chen Ping did not despise them, and the four of them quickly became acquainted.
Zhang Cang's main task is to help Zhao Si screen whether the team has any indiscriminate people, and the second is to organize team contact for Zhao Si to determine the central idea of Zhao Si.
There is no way, Zhao Si does not distinguish between inside and outside, and loses people to Li Si in one go.
As for Zhao Si himself, he has to serve the king in front of him, and he rarely has the opportunity to organize team building on weekdays, and it is completely a free-range mode for the disciples under his hands.
In the long run, maybe it will be impossible to tell whether it is Li Si's or Zhao Si's to raise this person.
"If there is anything inappropriate in handling official documents in the future, you can also come and ask me." Zhang Cang smiled.
Now people can't come back directly, and it will be difficult for Zhao Si to do it, but they must interfere, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang can't be separated from Zhao Si's grasp.
After this period of observation, Zhang Cang can also be sure that his senior brother is not lying.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang do have two thousand stone talents.
With the mentality and learning ability of the two of them, they will inevitably be able to govern one side in the future, and it can be seen that at least the current Li Si has not made any small moves to think carefully.
But after all, he is a talent who can write a big rat theory, and he should be guarded against.
Everyone is a smart person, Zhang Cang is intentional, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are heartfelt.
After a meal, Chen Ping took the initiative to establish an initial offensive and defensive alliance around Zhao Si, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang chose to join happily.
Just kidding, there are so many protégés under Li Si, when will it be his turn to get him Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?
The situation is still good, at least now there is no need to worry about the hearts of Zhao Si's doormen.
"Chen Sheng and Wu Guang don't have to worry about the lord, they started from the end of the way, thanks to the promotion of the lord, and now there is no lack of determination to die for the lord......"
"In the future, when there are more people of all kinds, it may not be easy to say......"
Standing in front of the frame, witnessing the figure of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang leaving, Zhang Cang, the little white fat man who was still slightly drunk just now, was already full of contemplation.
"I think Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have big minds and great ambitions, although the means of handling political affairs are a little rough, but they have just learned, and the future should be more than 2,000 stones." Chen Ping smiled.
It's quite unusual, and the two cultivators who can be caught casually are really talents of 2,000 stones.
"It can only stop at two thousand stones, and going up is a disaster for them, they only have wealth in their eyes, which is not enough for the court of Great Qin." Zhang Cang shook his head.
At the end of the first team building under Zhao Si, Zhang Cang completed his task excellently, and recorded the evaluation of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the small book in his heart.
And on the other side, far overseas......
Several ships flying the big flag of Qin characters are drifting on the sea.
The black, thin, skinny Jing stood on the deck, looking at the vast coastline with a smile on his face.
(Speaking of starting from Fuso, where is the best place to get off the boat at the first stop of the voyage, it is very urgent, I want to copy.) )
