A young man with a white face and beard, indistinguishable from male and female, dressed as a eunuch, walked over with a hunched waist.

His attitude is modest and not flattering, with a hint of bookish anger. If you don't know his identity, people who see him may think that this is a handsome son.

"Zhao Gao, I'll leave this matter to you." Qin Wangzheng's posture was very relaxed, obviously very relieved of Zhao Gao.

The eyes of many fish flashed slightly, and Ah Zheng never ordered which ministers to give to, is it a convention, or is Zhao Gao well versed in the emperor's heart?

"This is Zhao Gao? What happened to Cai Langjun's son? Many fish smiled and stopped Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao smiled softly: "Cai Xiaolang is lively and cute, smart and clever, and now he is studying with Li Si in the Jixia School Palace. ”

The little tail fingers of many fish curl up slightly, Lis? Zhao Gao and Li Si began to intersect so early? Do you want......

"Cai Ze is Duoyu's right-hand man, you have to take good care of his only son. As for Lis, the widow will not treat him badly. "When King Qin first ascended the throne, he urgently needed to cultivate his own forces, and Li Si, who had a deep friendship, was a good candidate.

"Whoa!" Zhao Gao replied respectfully.

"Zhao Gao is very familiar with Li Si?" Many fish asked casually while eating rice cakes.

Zhao Gao's face did not change: "I also work for the king, and I have had several relationships." ”

Many fish looked Zhao Gao up and down, and suddenly a sentence came out: "In the year of the Battle of Hexi, you took me to the other courtyard?" ”

Zhao Gao's heart froze, and his breathing was slightly suffocated: "Hui Yu is a villain." ”

Many fish stopped talking, and slowly stamped the rice cakes, with the words engraved by Azheng and the sun, moon and stars painted by themselves.

Seeing Zhao Gao retreat, Ying Zheng tapped the tip of the nose of many fish with his index finger and said, "Naughty." ”

Look at how scared Zhao Gao, it is estimated that Zhao Gao will have a sleepless night tonight.

Many fish grinned, but their hearts were torn between them.

Historically, Zhao Gao and Li Si were the catalysts for the death of Qin II and were villains, but that happened only after the death of Qin Shi Huang.

At this stage, Zhao Gao is Qin Wangzheng's personal secretary, and Li Si is Yingzheng's left arm and right arm.

If he has to deal with them, not to mention that it will hurt the relationship with Ah Zheng, it is even more taboo, worried about affecting Ah Zheng's seizure of power, after all, there is also Lu Buwei and Empress Dowager Zhao watching from the side.

"It just so happened that it was still early, so let's go to the Jixia School Palace together. You haven't seen Xunzi in many places, so take a look at Li Si by the way. "King Qin ordered people to travel in simple clothes.

Many fish secretly sighed, Ah Zheng is speaking for Li Si, and he hopes to meet Li Si himself.

Let's go check it out first.

Qin Wangzheng had not yet officially ascended the throne, and the special travel carriage had not yet been made, so he randomly picked the most low-key one.

Some time ago, there were too many people who were wiped out, and it was inevitable that one or two fish would slip through the net.

When the low-key carriage stopped at the gate of the Jixia School Palace, the first person to come up to greet him was Li Si, who was greeted with a smile.

Li Si: "Meet the king, meet Captain Xu." ”

Qin Wangzheng bowed slightly, and walked directly into the school palace.

Many fish also greeted Li Si gently: "Long time no see." ”

Li Si knew the status of many fish in Qin Wangzheng's heart, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and his face was flattered: "Thank you for your concern." ”

The three of them sat in the reception area of the Jixia School Palace, waiting for Xunzi to return from visiting friends.

Li Si diligently made tea for the two, and he remembered that many fish only liked to drink tea.

"How is Han Fei now?" As soon as he entered the school palace, Qin Wangzheng remembered Han Fei, who was good friends with Li Si.

Many fish: "Busy all day long, doing their best for Daqin." ”

Li Si sneered and quipped, "He doesn't think about Korea anymore?" ”

"Remember. He planned to say a few good words for the Korean royal family after the Qin State destroyed Han. ”

Qin Wangzheng laughed happily: "Seeing that he is so knowledgeable about current affairs, I will allow him to say a few more words at that time." ”

Li Si pretended to be distressed: "What if he proposes to let South Korea be autonomous?" ”

Many fish glanced at Li Si silently, he knew Han Fei. Before Han Fei arrived in Bashu, Han Fei might indeed make this suggestion.

But after Han Fei was in Dao Bashu, with the improvement of his status and title, his attitude naturally changed.

Many fish: "Han Fei is not stupid, South Korea is located in a traffic artery and has been prosperous, how can it be compared with the border land?" ”

Qin Wangzheng pretended not to hear anything, and drank tea intently.

Li Si didn't argue about anything anymore, since his goal had been achieved, why should he upset many fish again?

There were many mosquitoes in the summer, and Li Si took out a few moxa sticks from a small dark compartment on the desk.

After the moxa sticks are ignited, puffs of green smoke rise, and the unique aroma of wormwood spreads. The annoying mosquitoes were gone.

Seeing that the eyes of many fish swept over Xiao Dark Grid and Moxa, Li Si hurriedly explained: "This case was specially made for Xunzi by Xiang Li, and it is quite ingenious. Moxa was made by the palace doctor and given by the king. ”

Qin Wangzheng picked up the bamboo slip and paused slightly, in terms of caring for his courtiers and buying people's hearts, he really didn't think about it as thoughtful as the first king.

Soon, Qin Wangzheng was attracted by the bamboo slips.

Many fish leaned over to take a look, and the first impression left by the bamboo slip was that the big seal was really beautiful.

Secondly, it is the content of the bamboo slips, which is substantial, reasonable and well-founded.

"Who wrote this?" Many fish became interested in the owners of bamboo slips. The bamboo slips placed on the Xunzi case are most likely students in the palace.

Tsk, the source of students is different, the teachers are different, and the gap between the students taught is a bit big.

If the school palace of Bashu County can teach such a student, he must be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

Qin Wangzheng put down the bamboo slip with satisfaction and said, "It's Li Si." ”

Many fish regret that it was him.

Each emperor had his own way of employing people, some liked to employ people, some liked to use loyal people, and some liked talented people.

Qin Wangzheng belongs to the last type, and he would rather use talented careerists than loyal mediocre talents.

Li Si is such a bright and unscrupulous person who pursues interests!

Qin Wangzheng likes this kind of person the most, as long as he can give him glory and wealth, he is the most loyal and capable minister!

"Your level can be a guest." Qin Wangzheng said softly.

Li Si was excited, Qin Wang Zhengneng said this in public, which was a disguised promise to give himself an official position! Isn't this exactly my lifelong pursuit of going to the Qin Kingdom?!

Li Si got up, bowed to Qin Wangzheng, and said loudly: "The villain is willing to serve the king!" ”

Many fish feel that they are in the long river of history, changing history, and witnessing history.

Li Si is worthy of being the right and left hand of Qin Wangzheng, and his entire bamboo slip is based on the Qin Dynasty's unification of the six countries!

He proposed a strategy to be recorded in the history books: the same text, the same track, the same currency, weights and measures.

Li Si was just an ordinary scholar who had once been the lowest-ranking official in the Chu State. He has made such a big progress, it can be seen that he has put a lot of hard work in the school palace!

"The book is the same text, and this matter will be entrusted to you." Qin Wangzheng felt that Li Si's handwriting was very good, so he asked him to unify on the basis of the big seal.

In the future, every time the Qin State conquered a country, it would implement the standard to the local area!

"Thank you, King! Ministers must do their best! Li Si trembled with excitement, he was finally about to enter the Xianyang political center!

At this moment, a person's voice is like a basin of cold water, pouring himself cold.

Many fish suggested: "It is more troublesome to write seal characters in the folk." I heard that there is a person named Cheng Miao in Xiadu, and he has been collecting folk fonts, wanting to simplify the complex and turn the circle into a square. Ah Zheng, why don't you summon him over and concentrate on this matter. If successful, its words can be used for the people. ”①

Many fish raised this matter because they didn't want Li Si to take the lead, and more because they wanted Shu Tongwen to take fewer detours.

Qin Wangzheng nodded in agreement: "Duoyu is thoughtful. Li Si, the book is the same text, to be orthography, to use words, and to use words. This is not a day's work, nor is it something that can be done by one person. You may spend years on this, would you like to? ”

Li Si smiled reluctantly, Qin Wangzheng is pointing at himself, since he can't finish it alone, one more Cheng Miao is nothing, and he will not dilute his own merits.

"The villain is willing!" Li Si said excitedly, but his heart was not as happy as he was at the beginning.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that many fish have opinions about themselves, but why?

Obviously, the two have little intersection, and many fish are not the kind of people who are unreasonable. Could it be that Han Fei said something in front of many fish?

Qin Wang Zhengneng was willing to mention Li Si because he proposed that the unification of writing, rails, weights and measures, and currency was very useful.

Historically, after Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, it took a full decade to complete all this.

Now, every time a piece of land is laid, a unified strategy is slowly implemented, and the people should be more receptive.

As for the unification of weights and measures, this is a great initiative.

The work of unifying weights and measures in Europe began very late, until 1875, when France invited more than 20 countries such as the United States, Russia, and Germany to sign the "Metric Convention", stipulating that the meter is one 20 millionth of the Paris meridian from the South Pole to the North Pole!

Qin Shi Huang's operation to unify weights and measures was 2,000 years earlier than in the West!

Later generations thought that China's science development was lagging behind the West, but in fact this was a prejudice.

According to the Divination, the Shang Dynasty people had learned to use one, two, three, four, five, liuliu, six, period, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand to record any number within 100,000. In addition, there is the concept of odd numbers, even numbers, and multiples.

In China, there were four operations in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and in the Spring and Autumn period, there were positive integer "ninety-nine songs", and there was a strict decimal system for calculating Shu, with empty representing 0.

As many fish students in liberal arts, there is no better optimization suggestion for this, so they start from their own practical experience in managing Bashu: "When implementing weights and measures, you can give a transition period first. That is to stipulate the conversion ratio. ”

That's the experience of many fish!

As Bashu gathered merchants from all over the world, there were always some merchants who came to Bashu for the first time from the six countries, and they did not know the weights and measures and numismatic system implemented by Bashu.

In order to facilitate the trade of these foreign traders, many fish are subject to conversion ratios.

When they go back and forth a few more times, they will take the initiative to use Bashu's weights and measures tools, which is more convenient and convenient.

Li Si raised his head in surprise, it turned out that the matter of unifying weights and measures, many fish had already been implemented in Bashu?!

Qin Wangzheng's eyes couldn't hide the joy: "Duoyu, tell me quickly, how did you govern Bashu?" ”

Of course, many fish will not hide from Ah Zheng, except for the matter of the Chamber of Commerce, the rest of them have talked in detail about their original intentions, the difficulties encountered in actual operation, how to solve them, and what the effect is......

These words not only made Qin Wangzheng gain a lot, but also made Li Si fascinated by it.

It turns out that businessmen are so useful!

It turns out that the law can be used like this!

It turns out that the economy can be played like this!

Qin Wangzheng: "So you are using the method of stimulating consumption to promote the circulation of coins. ”

Many fish have palpitations: "This is a later operation. When there was already a shortage of money, I used the Chamber of Commerce to go to the other six countries to exchange goods for money. Buying goods with coins is 10% cheaper than bartering. Naturally, they were willing. ”

Qin Wangzheng nodded thoughtfully: "It is equivalent to you transferring the risk to the Six Kingdoms." ”

Many of the fish were tempting: "Yes! Ah Zheng, you have to take this as a warning. I'm just a Bashu County, and if something goes wrong, I can suck blood from the Six Kingdoms. In the future, you will swallow the universe, and all the six countries will be your land, and if something goes wrong, we can only continue to expand outward. ”

Li Si's expression also became grim: "The Xiongnu have cattle, sheep and horses, but they also lack coins. ”

"That's right! So, we have to take precautions! "Many fish are both proud and worried.

Proud of the advanced Chinese civilization, but worried about wanting to suck blood, other places have not yet produced blood.

I hate that when I was in school, I didn't memorize the map of the world's mineral distribution.

The words of many fish opened the door to a new world for Qin Wangzheng.

The money shortage is a threat to Great Qin, isn't it the same for the other six countries?

Conquest by force is conquest, and isn't it better to weaken the enemy with economic tactics first?

Just like in the Battle of Changping, Qin used a divisive strategy against Zhao, allowing King Zhao to replace Lian Po and appointing Zhao Kuo as a general, and finally Zhao was defeated.

"Fish, you're really ingenious." King Qin couldn't help but hold the hands of many fish.

Li Si was convinced: "The great man is a double master of martial arts!" The villain is fortunate to be able to listen to your teachings. Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years! ”

Many fish modestly said: "It's too much, I learned from my failures." ”

"It's easy to talk on paper, but it's hard to put it into practice. There are many fish, and there is no need to be presumptuous. "Qin Wangzheng is a confident and flying character.

He believes that those who have meritorious deeds should be praised by the world, and there is no need to be humble.

The secret conversation between the three of them directly talked about the sunset, and Qin Wangzheng had to return to the palace, but Xunzi had not returned.

"Which friend did Xunzi go to?" Many fish asked curiously.

Since Xunzi's policy of keeping filial piety was rejected by the first king, he doesn't like to run out, and always nests in the palace.

Li Si stood at the door, stood on tiptoe and looked out of the door, worried: "The master didn't tell me where to go. I haven't come back so late, isn't there something going on?"

As soon as he said this, many fish couldn't help but worry.

(1) In history, Cheng Miao was imprisoned in Yunyang for offending Qin Shi Huang. He saw that it was troublesome for the prison officer to write on the wooden plaque with a small seal, so he improved the small seal.

Because he is a disciple, the improved word was also used exclusively for the official service in the early days, so it was called the official book, also called the ancient li.
