Of course, this affluence can only refer to antiquity.

Iron and steel metallurgy is always in demand, even in modern times, steel production capacity is an important indicator of a country's national strength.

No country has too many good metals...... Before the birth of the Steel Jungle, the so-called affluence was only barely enough compared to the present.

The First Emperor pondered for a moment, the matter was big, and he was willing to let Zhao Si toss it.

"We'll discuss it after returning to Xianyang!" The First Emperor opened his mouth and ended today's topic.

Now the driver is ready to turn, the next thing is to ride the horse and gallop straight to Xianyang, there is no need to stop in the middle but to hurry, in fact, it is quite fast to go back.

The relocation order was implemented, Li Si was the one who charged at the front line, Zhao Si was too young to convince the public, and the first emperor didn't want Zhao Si to make too many enemies when he was just starting out.

It is definitely impossible for Zhao Si to be on top of the Qiangui Order, but it is impossible for Zhao Si to continue to be idle, as he is now, after returning to Xianyang.

You can't really cut Zhao Si and throw it into the palace, and the car government order will be used.

As for Zhao Si, he didn't expect to start ordering the technology tree of steel smelting now, there was no way, he hadn't returned to the city yet.

Even if the First Emperor was approved, he had to wait until he returned to Xianyang to start.

Now I am just saying this to give the First Emperor a bottom in his heart, but for now, everything is still promising depending on the attitude of the First Emperor.

is still the same sentence, the first emperor can deal with it, listen to persuasion.

Zhao Si finished talking about the question he was going to say, and quit the driving wheel with interest.

Li Si naturally began to summarize to the First Emperor the problems that had been discovered by the Great Patrol Heaven.

All in all, it is still the same thing, and the policy cannot be implemented.

There are many factors and they are also very complex, there are local forces that make trouble, there are also people who will be difficult to change for a while, there are also the subtle and subtle old-fashioned thinking, and the hard wounds of insufficient conditions.

These things will take time to solve, but fortunately, the First Emperor is not so eager now, at least his body is strong now, and it doesn't feel like a big problem to work hard to reign for another twenty or thirty years.

If you can't do it in ten years, you can do it in twenty or Chinese New Year's Eve years, there is no physical problem, and the first emperor is not short of patience.

The problems described by Lees are the most important ones for the future, but they will not be solved in a moment.

Li Si reported carefully, and the First Emperor listened carefully and made his own analysis, and sorted out a priority.

Both of them are the top of the times, there is no nonsense, and it only takes half an hour to get through.

After Li Si finished reporting his work, he was ready to get up and salute and retire according to the usual practice.

If he doesn't retire, the First Emperor will not leave him to eat now, and only Zhao Si can enjoy the noble treatment of eating with the First Emperor......

Li Si seriously suspected that the reason why the First Emperor took him to dinner some time ago was because the First Emperor was still in the stage of losing weight and fitness, and the weight loss meal made by Zhao Si was too unpalatable, and the First Emperor simply wanted to go into the water alone.

was about to get up, but was stopped by the First Emperor.

Li Si had to straighten up and sit still.

"From your point of view, can Zhao Si be the secretary?" The First Emperor spoke.

Li Si knew that the First Emperor had something to do with him sitting down, but he didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

This thing has two meanings.

One is called a knight, and the other is an official.

Zhao Si's title is the head of the carriage, and he already belongs to the title of the Qing class.

Then the problem is obvious, the first emperor only has an official position.

In this era, everything is in the ascendant, and the official system has not been completely separated.

The Qing in the mouth of the First Emperor clearly refers to the official rather than the lord.

What is Qing?

As the saying goes, three princes and nine kings!

Jiuqing's spokesperson cannot be the secretary of state.

Meng Yi is the secretary, and the weak is also the secretary......

When the official achieves this point, looking at the entire Qin State, it adds up to a total of only double digits.

Becoming a Qing is Jiuqing's reserve...... Theoretically, it is completely equal to Jiuqing, which is nothing more than the difference in the size of the power in his hands.

So the question is, with the proximity of the First Emperor to Zhao Si, will Zhao Si lack power in his hands?

Not to mention that after becoming Shangqing, even now, Zhao Si has not become Shangqing, and Li Si doesn't think that Zhao Si has no power in his hands.

As long as Zhao Si wants to, as long as Zhao Si dares, he has more power in his hands than him, the left minister of Great Qin, in a sense.

"Shangqing, ......" Li Si touched his goatee.

The First Emperor's thoughts are already obvious, and in Li Si's view, it is not much different if Zhao Sicheng does not become a Shangqing, but it is just that Zhao Si's name will be changed in the future, and it will be more logical for the First Emperor to let Zhao Si do things.

There is nothing to refute......

Li Si also did not believe that his disagreement could influence the decision of the First Emperor.

Besides, even if Zhao Si doesn't shoulder the heavy responsibility of moving your order, it's time to stand in front of the stage.

You can't always be this kid who comes up with ideas in the future, and you have to be busy.

Of course, strategic hesitation is needed, which will make it appear that he has thought seriously about the matter.

"Although he is still young, he has made great contributions to the country, which is enough to be a secretary!" Li Si gave his evaluation seriously.

To be honest, with Zhao Si's current merits, the three kinds of immortal grains, the abundant harvest of grains, the horse's pedal, the saddle and the horseshoes, and the proposal to move the nobles, add up to the merits and indeed deserve the post of secretary.

As for talent?

Shangqing is a reserve of Jiuqing, and if he has no talent, he will always be prepared, which is nothing more than raising honors with the country.

The First Emperor raised his eyes and glanced at Li Si, and was silent for a moment with a hint of a smile.

It is purely superfluous to ask Li Si about this matter, and Li Si has no reason or any possibility to prevent Zhao Si from becoming the secretary.

"Let's go down first......" the First Emperor waved his hand.

Li Si retreated to himself.

After Li Si left, the First Emperor's fingers gently tapped on the desk, and his eyes fell on the tank figure on the desk.

There are many things that can only be justified when you become a secretary.

At present, the maritime industry has entered the right track, Zou Feng has properly completed the preliminary planning and development, and the maritime department born in the voice of doubt has become a fragrant bait in the court with a steady stream of gold and silver, and has also become one of the important economic sources of Daqin.

But Zou Feng is old, and Zou Feng is the contemporary leader of the Yin and Yang family.

The First Emperor didn't mind any disciple entering any department of Great Qin, as long as they had enough talent, the First Emperor would not abandon them because of their biased thinking.

But overseas can't be reduced to a hall of yin and yang, Zou Feng is too tight on the precautions of the hundred schools of thought, and the current overseas affairs are too serious, which is not appropriate.

Zhao Si didn't have enough qualifications and talents before, but now he is barely enough, and he has his own disciples under his hands, so it's time to pick up some burdens.

Today's Zhao Si is no longer what it used to be, with the assistance of Zhang Cang and his party, he can take on more tasks, and Zhao Si should also give his disciples a stage to show their strengths.

Of course, it's not just maritime-related ......

The independence of maritime affairs from Jiuqing was agreed a long time ago, but the new body has not been established for a long time, and the reasons why it is needless to say why.

"The craftsman's business ......," the First Emperor said, shaking his head again.

The craftsmen were all in charge of the general Shaofu, but Zhao Si obviously wanted to get another large production department, which the first emperor had long been aware of.

"And ......"

The First Emperor planned to take out Lang Zhongling's military power alone......

(These considerations are foreshadowed in front, but everyone is also in a hurry to return to Xianyang, so let's briefly say that Zhao Si's grasp of power is not so abrupt.) Also, I didn't say anything about it in the future, but there will be updates. ）
