A few people chatted for a while, and I asked Li Si and the others to leave first, and told them not to leak the details of Zhong Ming Pavilion, and a few people naturally understood.

Leaving Zhang Liang behind, he turned around and went to Wanlixiang's backyard.

After the two of them sat down, I smiled and asked, "How is it in Jiangnan?" ”

Zhang Liang still looked indifferent, smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Everything is fine, I haven't found anything like Changsha County again." ”

I nodded.

"I was negligent in the affairs of Changsha County, I didn't expect them to attack you. If it weren't for Li Si reminding me, I would have almost killed you in Wu County. ”

Zhang Liang bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, the messenger came in time." There is a Huiji County guard to help, and there is no danger. ”

"What do you think of Zhang Li?" I asked in passing.

"Capable and capable, quite famous."

"Well, that's fine. By the way, how about my Four Classics Song and Qinzi Banner? I asked with a smile, Huiji County has always had many rebellions, and I don't know what the people there think about these two things.

Zhang Liang is rare and praiseworthy.

"Your Majesty is really a wise man through the ages. The effect of the Four Classics Song and the Qinzi Banner is quite significant, and with the help of officials, many people unconsciously began to sing. The county guard not only erected the Qinzi flag in the official offices, but also ordered some wealthy merchants and big families to also erect flags in front of the door, and even engraved the song of the Four Classics on the tablet and stood in front of the county guard's mansion. ”

"In addition, His Majesty's construction of the Temple of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties has had a great repercussion in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many people who praise His Majesty and the Ming Emperor, especially those who read. There is a saying that the minister dared to tell His Majesty, and the minister once heard a person say: Although Qin is tyrannical, the second is still acceptable, and he will not forget the foundation of the world! ”

"Hahahaha." I laughed happily: "I don't forget the foundation of the world." That's enough! ”

Later, I told him about the production of cane sugar, and he also asked me many questions, such as improving textile ornamentation, mulberry rice planting, and cultivating new fields. One of the most important is how to solve the traffic problem in Jiangnan.

I frowned slightly, this was indeed a problem.

Jiangnan was developed very early, but because the political, economic, and cultural centers of all dynasties before the Song Dynasty were in the north, Jiangnan was rarely vigorously developed. Since the Western Jin Dynasty crossed to the south, Jiangnan has ushered in a large-scale development. After the Sui and Tang dynasties, with the completion of the Grand Canal, the connection between the north and the south gradually became closer, and the economic level of the south of the Yangtze River was almost the same as that of the north. Jiangnan became synonymous with wealth, and that had to be the Song Dynasty and later.

"In this way, after you go back, you will issue an edict in the eight counties in the south of the Yangtze River: encourage the county, county and township pavilions to be integrated into each other's roads, but the county and township pavilions need to be built by themselves. However, for those who build roads to the west and north, the imperial court will give them a subsidy of two stones of corn for one mile of road, and for those who build roads to the east and south, they will be given a subsidy of one stone of corn for one mile of road. ”

"For example, Jiali is north of Yili, and if Jiali wants to build a road to Yili, the imperial court will give one mile of road and two stones of corn; If Yili wants to build a road to Jiali, then only one stone of corn will be given for one mile of road. ”

Zhang Liang frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he said with some uncertainty: "Why do you give more subsidies for building roads to the west and north than you do for building roads to the east and south?" Could it be related to the national capital of Xianyang? ”

I laughed.

"That's right. I spent a lot of effort to open up the Hexi Corridor for the Silk Road trade. You may not know that there are many countries west of the Western Regions, and I want Great Qin's influence to reach the extreme of the West! To the east, there is the vast sea, and to the south, deep mountains and dense forests. Now Daqin can't afford to set foot in those places, so he can only guarantee to the west first! ”

I didn't explain what countries in the West, the earth is round, and the latitude affects the development of civilization, with Zhang Liang's character, I am afraid that he will break the casserole and ask the end, now is not the time.

Zhang Liang praised again and again, and said curiously: "How does Your Majesty know that there is a country west of the Western Regions?" There have been people in the Western Regions before, but no one has been there yet. ”

I looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "In my sleep, I am inspired by heaven!" ”

……

Zhang Liang was speechless for a while.

"Hahaha, I'll explain these things to you later, the most important thing at the moment is to develop Jiangnan as soon as possible. You try to see if it works, and if it doesn't, think of something else. ”

Zhang Liang had no choice but to nod yes, and his curiosity about me became heavier and heavier.

"Okay, I'll order someone to give you the detailed method tomorrow when it comes to making sugar. You need to go to Lingnan for this matter, you don't have to go in person, just send someone to do it, if it happens, you can open a separate government in Lingnan. ”

"You will live in Baoyue Tower tonight, and Yinglan will leave you a room."

After Zhang Liang left, I was ready to go back to Xianyang Palace to deal with the recital of yesterday's court meeting.

Although the court meetings were reported one by one, in fact, like the meetings held in later generations, the reports were all briefings, and the official recitals were much more detailed, and I had to read them one by one.

These recitals are much thicker than the usual recitals, and the events of the year are clearly written on them, even if they are played on paper now, everyone's recitals are like a book, I really don't know how Yingzheng's workaholic can stand it......

As soon as I got up, I saw Qi Wan walking in in a hurry.

I wonder how he came. Generally, I take Meng He with me when I go out of the palace, and Qi Juan mainly deals with the recital in the palace, rarely goes out of the palace, and occasionally goes to the Zhongshu Scholar's Mansion to see.

Qi Wan walked up to me and bowed: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Huyi is dead!" ”

I was shocked and hurriedly asked, "When is it?" ”

"Early this morning. Prime Minister Zuo sent someone to the palace to perform, and after waiting for a long time to see His Majesty come back, the minister was afraid of making a mistake, so he came to play His Majesty. ”

"Meng He! Prepare the car and go to the Hou Mansion of Hunyi! ”

In the first month of the fourth year of Qin II, the second day of the new year, the traditional October, the autumn is high and cool.

The former right prime minister of Great Qin, the Marquis of Huyi, only left a sentence in the history books with his son, "The prime minister will not be humiliated", Feng Quji, died.

He was not imprisoned by the mediocre Qin II as in history, and it was a blessing for him to foresee the imminent demise of Great Qin.

Inaction, indisputability, this is my evaluation of him.

History: The Marquis of Hunyi, who went to the disease, was a lang at the beginning, and was awarded the court lieutenant for his merits. As for the first emperor as the emperor, as the right prime minister, the second emperor from it. In the first month of the fourth year of Qin II, the Marquis of Hunyi died, and his son was invited to return to Hunyi for mourning. The emperor said: Today's society is stable, surrounded by strong enemies, filial piety is solid, and loyalty is not as good as that? Ordered Dazai's officials to replace him, and it still returned to the inner court.

Said: The pillar of the country can be the mainstay. Throwing chaos, his wife is the brother of Throw, and the Marquis of Huyi said: Today's initial decision is made, the emperor has a virtuous name, and he can't help it! It shows his loyalty.

Feng Qu died of illness, some people grieved, some rejoiced.
