Unlike the royal sons and grandsons who were born into the royal family, Zhao Si wandered overseas for the first twenty years, and there was no so-called kinship, let alone the so-called close forces.

Since returning to Qin, in addition to his own disciples, Zhao Si discovered them himself, how many of them can really be completely trusted?

"But...... Strictly speaking...... The group of brothers who went to sea ......" Zhao Si secretly considered.

If you really want to say that you know the roots, it is nothing more than a boy who returned from going to sea with him.

They all grew up with Zhao Si since they were young in the real sense.

"Ability may be a little lacking, but trustworthiness is more important than knowing the roots."

Some of the boys who followed Zhao Si to return from going to sea have embarked on the journey of conquering the sea again, and now they are serving in the aviation trade military government, while others are unwilling to go to sea again, and they live a small life of their wives and children in their hometowns.

Although there are many brothers who are on different sides, Da Qin Sheng is very strict in the household registration system, and the inspection (ID cards) of the boys who have returned from the sea are all recorded separately, so it is not difficult for Zhao Si to recruit them.

"However, with the body of the first emperor, there will be at least twenty or thirty years in the future, and it is too early to think about these now, but there is no need to rush to achieve success, but there is no hurry to recruit, you can arrange for them to enter the school to study, take the officials as teachers, and take the path of serious promotion." Zhao Si touched his chin.

It is worth mentioning that the Qin Dynasty had official learning.

A very significant feature of the Qin Dynasty's official school was the "use of officials as teachers", that is, officials were allowed to engage in educational activities as teachers. This system originally originated from the Shang Dynasty reform, at that time, Shang Ying proposed that "the officials who put the main law as the teachers of the world", which was adopted by Qin Xiaogong and continued as a national system.

After the unification of the six kingdoms of Qin, the county system was implemented in the territory, and there were generally official schools in the counties - "school rooms", and the students in the "school room" were called "disciples", but the source of "disciples" also had certain restrictions, stipulating that they must at least be the sons of "officials".

The educational content of the "school room" has two aspects: one is to learn culture, write names, and know famous objects, and the other is to learn laws and regulations.

After completing their studies, the "disciples" must also undergo a certain period of investigation and internship, and only after passing the qualifications can they be appointed as officials.

Of course, it doesn't matter to Zhao Si whether it is the son of the official or not, Zhao Si is the grandson of the emperor, and it must be no problem to write a letter of recommendation.

As for whether you can learn and be competent, it depends on your ability.

At present, in addition to the boys who continue to go to sea, there are more than 200 crew members who have settled in the local area.

Although the age of admission is relatively old and the education level is not particularly high, in all fairness, it is also a great help for Zhao Si to be able to come out of it with a few useful talents.

After all, it's your own people, and you can trust it.

Of course, it is just to recommend local people to enter the school room to study, and this kind of thing is too trivial if Zhao Si wants to write a letter to the local government in person.

Tell Han Sheng, just a matter of one sentence.

Han Sheng only needs to write a letter to the local government in the name of Zhao Simenke, and the local county will not be embarrassed to grasp the candidates for the admission of the disciples of the school.

Admission is not a big deal, the real big thing is the assessment and promotion in the future, and it is difficult for Zhao Si to interfere in these aspects.

Without going through the procedure, Zhao Si can certainly pull someone into the Lang official team casually.

But if you go through the normal process, it's different.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Sichuan informed Han Sheng of the subordinate who drove for himself, and took the car to the palace by himself.

Time flew by, and Zhao Si flew up busily.

During the day, he watched politics, and at night, he was busy doing handicrafts.

Without him, the birthday of the First Emperor is approaching......

Although the earth fire dragon in the palace had been completed, it was a birthday gift for the First Emperor, but Zhao Si was also thinking about getting some other small items for the First Emperor.

It's not a curiose, it's just an astronomical telescope......

The lenses are hand-polished by the craftsman's side.

Well...... At present, the glass-fired technology tree is not pointed out, so the lens can only be made of pure natural crystal, which is extremely expensive.

There are only a few telescopes in the entire Great Qin, not to mention that Zhao Si is going to get an astronomical telescope for the First Emperor?

The main reason is that Yu Ji is already pregnant, even if she moves to the palace, the two can't have the same room, so she is a little bored at night, and she can't sleep anyway if it's too early, so she should find something to do.

Yu Ji was not idle, embroidering clothes.

She is also preparing a birthday gift for the First Emperor.

Compared with Zhao Si, Yu Ji is more idle.

Since Zhao Si asked Zhao Si about the reason why Zhao Si was busy working in the middle of the night, Yu Ji also took it seriously.

It's just that the time is in a hurry, and the weaving is definitely too late, so people can only cut out the specific style and embroider the pattern.

Although it is a semi-finished product, it can be regarded as a thought.

If you really get a piece of clothing out by yourself from beginning to end, you really can't finish it in a few months.

Zhao Si was pinching the binoculars, Yu Ji was busy embroidering the dragon, and Amber was lying lazily on the ground under the shroud of the earth fire dragon, turning her head from time to time to glance at Yu Ji's abdomen, and her tail was shaking and shaking, as if she was looking forward to it.

After a few days, the birthday of the First Emperor finally arrived.

Because it is not an integer, and it has no special significance, it is simply one year older, so it is not specially operated.

The concubines in the palace were thinking about this day, and they sent people to send things that they had carefully prepared.

No way, with the character of the First Emperor, this may be the only day of the year that can please the First Emperor normally without annoying the First Emperor.

Pity......

The gifts are all collected by the CRRC government, um...... They weren't even qualified to send someone to the First Emperor.

After Qian sent it over, it was Zhao Si who signed for the first emperor.

The First Emperor didn't even look at it, so he let Zhao Si seal it in the treasury.

As for the princes, princes and grandchildren, the gifts will naturally not be less.

Courtiers can not congratulate the first emperor on his birthday, but the prince and grandson cannot.

Moreover, in this era, it is not a bad thing to be able to justifiably present a gift in the name of congratulating the First Emperor.

After all, the First Emperor is the one who stands at the pinnacle of power and says nothing, if it weren't for the fact that the First Emperor explicitly forbade officials to flatter and celebrate birthdays, I don't know how many people would have to rack their brains for this.

It's still those few words, that's it, it's still an opportunity that many people can't ask for.

There are also a lot of gifts from the princes and grandsons, and they are also sent in by the CRRC Mansion Lingqian, Zhao Si collected it on his behalf, and finally sealed the treasury.

That's all.

Because of the express prohibition of the first emperor, it is effective from the top to the bottom.

Therefore, the congratulatory gifts given by concubines and princes and grandchildren are not luxurious, most of them are simple, mostly handmade or other things that are more intentional.

It's hard to say what the princes and grandsons are, but the things sent by the concubines must be really made by Zhao Si.

Zhao Si estimated that before entrusting the CRRC Fu to send Qian, they would definitely tell Qianqian with thousands of instructions that what kind of intention they wasted to make it for the conscience of the First Emperor, hoping that Qian could say a good word or two, so that the First Emperor would have a little more of his own name in his heart.

Even for some concubines who were snubbed by the First Emperor, this may be the only day of the year when they have the opportunity to show their hearts to the First Emperor.

Oh no, strictly speaking, almost all the concubines in the harem were snubbed by the First Emperor.

Maybe it's because of the experience of his biological mother, so the first emperor's love for men and women...... It is limited to meeting normal needs.

Most of the so-called feelings are non-existent.

"Don't you take a look at these congratulatory gifts?" Looking at the First Emperor, who was still immersed in his office on his birthday, and threw the trivial things such as receiving congratulatory gifts to himself, Zhao Si asked.

"Who told you good words?" The First Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhao Si, who had just finished his work.

"That's not it, it's just that no matter how you say it, it's a piece of heart, the eldest father is not luxurious, I see that the gifts of the concubines in the palace are carefully prepared." Zhao Si said.

"So what gifts do you have in store?" The First Emperor chuckled and spoke.

"Wait for the evening...... In the evening, I will show it to my father. Zhao Si smiled and looked up at the sky again.

It's good, although it snowed a few days ago, the weather has been better again in the past two days.

The sky was cloudless and the sky was blue.

There was no light pollution in this era, so as long as there were no clouds, the stars and moon in the sky were clearly visible at night.

Wait until evening, just climb to the top to gaze at the stars and the moon.

As for the double focus or something, of course Zhao Si has adjusted it in advance.

The First Emperor laughed when he heard this, but he had some small expectations in his heart.

The first emperor is the emperor, and there is naturally no shortage of people in the world who want to please him and open his heart, there are a bunch of women, and there are also a bunch of men.

So Zhao Si can have today. It was the First Emperor who opened a back door for Zhao Si alone, not Zhao Si's incomparable excellence.

happily accompanied the first emperor to work until the afternoon, Zhao Si glanced at the somewhat gloomy sky and got up to resign.

"Father is busy first, I'll go and prepare food for Father." Zhao Si said.

"What are you going to do?" The First Emperor didn't even raise his head.

"Birthday, my father doesn't want to taste my craft?" Zhao Si said with a smile.

When the First Emperor heard this, he waved his hand and let Zhao Sijing go by himself.

Zhao Si went to the imperial kitchen, because of the reasons that he had specially explained during the day, so there was no fire in the palace, but the chefs were waiting for Zhao Si's arrival.

The first emperor's birthday, of course, is his grandson who personally gave him a bowl of hot longevity noodles!

Prepare the white flour, place it in a clay dish, add a little salt, pour in cold water and start stirring by hand.

Until the flour is kneaded into a dough by Zhao Si, and then from the dough to a smooth dough kneaded by Zhao Si.

Looking at the smooth dough, Zhao Si nodded.

OK, close the lid and let go.

After the awakening was completed, Zhao Si began to operate by himself.

First, knead the awakened noodles into long strips, brush them with oil and water, and coil them into mosquito coils.

Then he turned on the fire to boil the water, and when the water boiled, he began to pull the noodles along the mosquito coils.

The originally thick noodle plate was torn into thin strips by Zhao Si and put into the water together.

Watching the noodles tumble in the boiling water, Zhao Si nodded with satisfaction.

It's good, the most critical step didn't go wrong.

Longevity noodlesLongevity noodles are eaten with a meaning.

If the middle is broken when the dough is pulled, you can't pinch it again to fool yourself, you can only start over.

But fortunately, Zhao Si's hand is still stable enough, there is no problem with this step, and the whole surface is not broken at all.

The noodles are boiled again......

Zhao Si put chopped green onions, sesame oil, salt, soy sauce, and pepper powder into a bowl on the side, and poured it into the broth that the cooks had boiled all afternoon.

There is no way, there is no monosodium glutamate chicken essence in this era, and it can only be freshened with broth.

The hot broth was poured into the bowl, and the broth and seasoning interacted with each other, bursting out with a strong fragrance, which made Zhao Si's stomach tighten.

Looking at the pot again, the noodles were also good, so I hurriedly added a spoonful of noodle soup with a spoon and poured it into the bowl, and then took out the noodles.

Taking advantage of the noodle soup that was still tumbling, Zhao Si took the opportunity to beat another egg.

Very good!

Perfect, even poached eggs!

Remove the poached eggs, place them in a bowl and top them with a little green onion and coriander.

A bowl of longevity noodles is out of the pot.

Zhao Si hurriedly held the tray holding the longevity noodles and left.

I walked fast enough, so when I came over, the noodles were still hot, and the hot aroma was still bursting out.

"Longevity noodles, big father and use!" Zhao Si presented a treasure and brought the longevity noodles to the table in front of the first emperor.

The smell of hot water vapor came to his nose, and the First Emperor put down the fold and looked down to see that it was just a bowl of rather simple-looking noodles with an egg on top.

But the incense is quite fragrant.

"Did you do it yourself?" The First Emperor sniffed.

"Sort of, but the broth has to be cooked for a long time, but the palace chef has to handle it, and I do the rest." Zhao Si nodded.

"How can this be called longevity?" The First Emperor asked.

"Unlike other noodles, this big bowl of noodles has only one piece, from beginning to end, much longer than other noodles, so it is said to be long-lived." Zhao Si said.

The First Emperor was surprised when he heard this, and curiously picked it up with chopsticks, such a big bowl of noodles turned out to be really only one noodle in it.

"You have a heart...... "The First Emperor smiled.

"Father, use it, if you don't eat it again, it will be cold." Zhao Si said with a smile.

When the First Emperor heard this, he didn't say much, but just dined by himself.

The taste is moderate, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are naturally not talked about.

However, eating a bowl of hot longevity noodles in winter and taking a bite of a poached egg with a little sugar heart is also not fun, not to mention, it coincides with the birthday, which is also mixed with beautiful meanings.

The First Emperor seemed to have a good appetite, and after a while, he ate all the noodles.

In the end, I didn't even let go of the soup, and I ate a big bowl of noodles with soup and noodles.

Zhao Si took advantage of this gap to raise his eyes and look at the sky.

It's not completely dark yet, but the moon can't wait to come out.

The Daystar, who goes out early and returns late, also goes to work early, hanging in the sky that is still a little white.

The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si, as if he was already looking forward to the birthday gift sent by Zhao Si.

"Wait, it's not dark yet."

Zhao Si smiled, and then walked out of the door to look at the sky.

"Father, do you want to see what's on the moon?"
