On February 23 of the first year of Qin II, it is advisable to sacrifice, break the ground, travel, and avoid planting and burial.

As early as the day before, Lin Ze had prepared ten carriages, loaded with the salutes and cultivation resources that he was going to bring to Lishan this time.

After getting up early in the morning and practicing martial arts, Lin Ze freshened up, planning to go to Xianyang Palace to say goodbye to Hu Hai.

Lin Ze came to the gate of Xianyang Palace and expressed his intention to the commander of the guards guarding the palace gate.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to report.

A quarter of an hour later, the Praetorian returned with a eunuch.

Then Lin Ze still didn't see Hu Hai, and the eunuch gave the explanation: Your Majesty was overworked last night, and you are resting at this time, if Lord Shaofu really has something to ask to see Your Majesty, you can wait for Your Majesty to wake up with peace of mind.

Lin Ze just smiled when he heard this, and asked the eunuch to tell Hu Hai that he left Chang'an today, and then left without any nostalgia.

After returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Ze took a group of guards and drove a dozen carriages to Lishan.

Lishan is located 300 miles east of Chang'an City, nominally under the jurisdiction of Chang'an Prefecture, but in fact, as a royal mountain forest, it has always been managed by the Shaofu.

Including cutting down trees, gathering herbs, hunting, etc., only Shaofu is qualified to arrange people to do it.

As for the construction of a large number of buildings and mausoleums on Lishan, not to mention, all of them are handled by Shaofu, which is why Li Si said that Shaofu is responsible for this matter, which is a matter of course.

When Lin Ze arrived at the foot of Lishan Mountain, he saw a group of people in official uniforms standing there, as if waiting for someone.

As Lin Ze's carriage approached, one of the leading officials shouted, "But Lord Shaofu in person?"

When Lin Ze heard this, he walked out of the carriage and said in a deep voice: "Lin Ze, the new young man of this official, who are you waiting for?"

The leading official said with a hint of joy on his face: "It's really Lord Shaofu." Xiaguan Marlowe meets your lordship. ”

Then a group of people bowed in unison: "Xiaguan and the others meet Lord Shaofu." ”

Lin Ze suddenly felt in his heart, it turned out that he was here to greet him, it seemed that it was the group of subordinate officials of the Shaofu.

Lin Ze was also not polite, and pointed to the leader of Ma Luo and said: "You tell the official about the details here, such as how many of you came here, when did you arrive, and what did you do?"

Ma Luo didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Shaofu, this is a long story, why don't we go up the mountain and report to you carefully while going down." ”

Lin Ze said "um" and said, "Then let's go." ”

Marlowe hurriedly took a step forward and said to the other subordinate officers, "I am not in front of you to lead the way." ”

The other subordinate officials immediately responded: "Obey the orders of the young eunuch." ”

Lin Ze glanced at Ma Luo in surprise, but he didn't expect that this was still the second-in-command of the Shaofu, the young eunuch of the Shaofu.

Since Shaofu is in charge of mountains, forests, lands and engineering projects for the emperor, it is naturally also a behemoth, in addition to Lin Ze's Shaofu Supervisor, there are also two deputies, Shaofu Shaofu, and Eight Orders who are in charge of each position.

Ma Luo carefully accompanied Lin Ze around, and said: "So that your Excellency will know that Xiaguan and others came to Lishan more than three months ago, under the leadership of the previous Shaofu Lord, when the first emperor had just collapsed, the Prime Minister ordered me to wait, we must hurry up to repair the road up the mountain, and repair and improve the Lishan Mausoleum, and do not delay the great gift of the first emperor." ”

"The Shaofu can be said to have poured out of the nest, and the subordinate officials of the Shaofu who stayed in Chang'an, except for the Eight Orders, including the lower officials and another young eunuch, all came here, but today another young eunuch Feng Xing, because he was dealing with affairs on the mountain, could not take time to come over to greet the adult, and hoped that the adult would forgive his sins. ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "It's okay." Even if there is something important to do, if you don't come to greet him, the official will not blame him. It's just that the official is a little curious, what else is going to be built in Lishan Mausoleum?"

Marlowe was almost stunned by Lin Ze's words, you are a young man, and you don't even know what you are going to do when you come over?

However, the official level crushed people to death, and Ma Luo only dared to slander in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Lishan Mausoleum was originally built in accordance with the style of the imperial mausoleum recorded in the classics, with a total of one main tomb, four auxiliary tombs, and thirty-six small tombs. ”

"Four years ago, the first emperor suddenly ordered that the ordinary imperial tomb is not worthy of his identity, and needs to be expanded into nine auxiliary tombs and eighty-one small tombs. ”

Lin Ze nodded slightly and said, "So, there are still five auxiliary tombs and forty-five small tombs left?"

Marlowe wiped the non-existent sweat, and Fang said cautiously: "No, four to nine, thirty-six to eighty-one, it seems simple, as long as you build an additional part to complete the task, in fact, it is a big Miao." The pattern of the four auxiliary tombs and the nine auxiliary tombs is completely different, and they cannot be simply superimposed. Not only can it not be stacked, but the original construction must be demolished and re-arranged. ”

Lin Ze was a little speechless when he heard it, he had only heard of the mausoleum of the prince and general before, the layout was very cumbersome, and he felt that it was very cranky, now he just wanted to complain, he was dead, why did he bother so much?

Lin Ze coughed lightly and asked a question that he was more concerned about: "How is the progress now?"

Ma Luo glanced at Lin Ze's not very good-looking face, and replied in a low voice: "At present, except for the auxiliary tomb where the first emperor is buried, the other auxiliary tombs and small tombs have all been demolished. At present, Young Eunuch Feng has already begun to arrange for the reconstruction of people, and as long as the materials and labor are delivered, he can immediately start on a large scale. ”

Lin Ze nodded undeniably: "How are the preparations for the construction of the imperial tomb now?"

At this time, Marlowe's voice was raised a little: "At present, the preparations are progressing relatively smoothly, a large number of materials have been transported to the mountain, but there are still problems with labor. ”

"Four years ago, the first emperor ordered the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum again, and with the support of hundreds of officials headed by the prime minister, labor was conscripted in an endless stream. However, the compulsory labor is carried out every three years, and this group of people should have ended their forced labor last year, and those who were sent home were to wait for the new labor to come and start work. ”

"But there are unforeseen circumstances, the first emperor collapsed for no reason, and urgently needed people to repair the road, so they were not let go back, and now the first emperor's gift is over, this batch of labor has been sent in batches, and before the new labor arrives, we can only watch first. ”

Lin Ze frowned slightly when he heard this: "This is a problem, go back and write to Prime Minister Li Cheng and ask him to send the labor as soon as possible, otherwise the construction of the emperor's mausoleum will be delayed, and I can't afford it." ”

Marlowe glanced at Lin Ze with some surprise, such an adult directly urged the prime minister to do something, but he didn't know if it was too reckless, or the background was monstrous.

While speaking, Lin Ze had already come to the top of the mountain under the leadership of Ma Luo, and at a glance, the main peak was full of desolation due to the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Li Si, you really found me a good job!"
