Chapter 9: The Problem of Revision of Books
Under Ying Zheng's threatening eyes, Fusu stopped his posture of saluting and stood beside him in an orderly manner, waiting for Ying Zheng's reprimand.
It's just that what Fusu didn't expect was that Yingzheng didn't scold him.
"Son, have you been suffering in prison these days?"
As soon as these words came out, Fusu in the prison was startled, and looked at Yingzheng with a look of surprise.
I can't figure out what went wrong, why my father is talking to me like this!
Just when Fusu was shocked, Yingzheng turned his head to look at Ran Fang.
"You're Ran Fang, right?"
Ying Zheng's tone was as if he was seeing Ran Fang for the first time, and there was a little more intimacy in his tone.
Seeing this, Ran Fang hurriedly stood up and greeted Yingzheng.
"Hello Uncle Su."
Seeing this, Ying Zheng said with a smile: "This kid mentioned you when he wrote a letter to me, and praised you for being very knowledgeable." β
Hearing this, Fusu realized that his father came to see Ran Fang in the name of looking at him!
He's just an excuse...
"This rebel son is in prison, and my heart as a father is not good, but it's a pity that I am a businessman and can't speak in the court, otherwise I can save you."
Ran Fang laughed a few times when he heard this, and then said with relief, "Uncle don't worry too much, I have our own natural appearance with Su Gongzi Jiren, and besides, we didn't suffer much in this prison." β
Hearing this, Ying Zheng subconsciously glanced at the meat on the table, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
He decreed that he couldn't criticize Ran Fang and Fusu, and these two people were really unkind.
In addition to the poor environment, this life is not much worse than outside Xianyang Prison.
"That being said, this is not a place to stay for long."
"You wait a few days, and then I will think of a way, maybe you will be released."
"Then thank you uncle!" Hearing this, Ran Fang didn't have much hope.
I was offended, but Prime Minister Lis!
Although the status of the merchants of Great Qin is not particularly low, it is not very high.
If you want to dredge up the relationship between Li Si, I'm afraid it's a little difficult.
So you have to figure out how to get out of here.
Seeing that Lu Qing didn't believe in himself, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed, and he said: "Speaking of which, I also have some relationship with the prime minister, if I find him to solve this matter, I think it will be very fast." β
Hearing that Yingzheng in front of him actually had something to do with Li Si, Ran Fang's eyes suddenly lit up!
"What Uncle said is true!?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Naturally, it's not fake, who dares to joke about this?" β
"It's just that having said that, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to see the prime minister these days."
"Why?"
Lu Qing looked at Ying Zheng in some surprise.
I saw that Yingzheng glanced at Ran Fang and slowly explained.
"Don't hide it from the son, now the whole court is busy with the matter of repairing books, I'm afraid that if I go to find someone now, I can't sell my face."
"What's more, this book repair is very complicated, and the prime minister has no time to take care of it these days."
"So, this matter will have to wait for a while, at least after the book is repaired, right?"
"Repair books?" When Ran Fang heard Ying Zheng talk about repairing books, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to normal, "Your Majesty is the first emperor of the ages, and he will definitely be able to figure out the key to it, and it is reasonable to make book repairs." β
Although he said so, Ran Fang's heart set off countless turbulent waves!
This is so good, how did you start repairing the book?
According to historical records, shouldn't this Yingzheng be in place in one step and directly burn books?
Could it be that the butterfly effect was triggered by crossing by yourself?
It shouldn't be!
But soon, Ran Fang stopped thinking about it.
There is the Qin generation, and the relevant records are pitiful, maybe this history existed, but it was not successful.
Seeing that Ran Fang didn't speak, Ying Zheng continued.
"This book repair is a big matter, and I heard that the literati who entered Beijing have their own opinions, and no one is convinced."
"Even the students of various families are tired of each other, and many people are passive and slacking off for this reason, so this book revision has been delayed for a long time, and I am afraid that the prime minister will have a headache for a while."
As he spoke, Ying Zheng sighed helplessly.
What he said is half-true and half-false, but the trouble he is encountering at the moment is true.
This revision has been going on for a few days, but it has not been effective, and he is indeed a little anxious in his heart, and he is also a little disappointed in the ministers of the court.
None of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could help him solve this problem.
As a last resort, he was imprisoned, wanting to see if this Ran Fang had any unique opinions, after all, he also proposed the matter of repairing the book.
"If I can help the prime minister solve this problem, and then let the prime minister loosen his mouth and release both of you, it shouldn't be a difficult task."
Hearing this, Ran Fang's eyes lit up, isn't it just to repair books, what's so difficult about this?
"The prime minister of the dignified Qin can't even do a small thing of repairing the book, what a fool!"
Hearing Ran Fang say this, Ying Zheng automatically filtered it, but looked at Ran Fang with a curious expression.
"Oh? Isn't Childe a clever plan? β
"If there is really a way, the prime minister's side will say better!"
Ran Fang smiled slightly, nodded and said, "There is naturally a way." β
"This literati are light, and it is normal for such a group of people who can speak and not listen to persuasion to stay together, and quarrel."
"What Childe said is very true." Ying Zheng nodded in his heart, he thought that this book was very simple, but he didn't expect that this group of literati would make trouble from it, which made him very big.
Hearing Ran Fang say this, he knew that he had come to the right place this time, and this Ran Fang really had a way.
"How should this matter be handled?"
"Simple," Ran Fang adjusted his sitting posture and changed to a comfortable posture before he spoke, "After His Majesty collected the books, he must have put these books in one place, and in order to save trouble, these protΓ©gΓ©s naturally repaired books in one place. β
"In this case, everyone naturally has disputes, even if it is the number of books, or the size of the position, it will be their goal to belittle each other, if they can't quarrel, there will be ghosts."
"The solution is simple, and that is to separate them first."
"It's true that literati are light, but they are more famous!"
"Good name?"
Hearing Ran Fang say this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but be stunned.
Seeing Yingzheng's reaction, Ran Fang smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, it's a good name." β
"The so-called people die for money, birds die for food, and the literati are just fighting for fame in the final analysis."
"Repairing a book is a big deal, and it takes a long time!"
"If Your Majesty decrees that those who succeed in repairing the book first, the name of the book repair will be in the forefront, and there will be another reward!"
"When the books are arranged in order, the main order is the order in which the books are repaired."
"They are not willing to be left behind, so they will naturally put aside meaningless fights and do their best to repair the book first."
"In this way, the current problem will be solved."
