The formal supervision of the country was very different from the previous state of supervision. At this time, Fusu felt sincerely relaxed and happy, and his whole person was immersed in the excitement of having power.
However, when Fusu saw the documents from the Prime Minister's Office and documents from various places, he finally broke through.
He looked at Chu Meng beside him with some seriousness, with a look of suspicion on his face: "Why are there suddenly so many government affairs? Isn't this supposed to be the case?"
"In the past, I basically handled the vast majority of documents. Why is it not half as much as it is now?"
Chu Meng said with some caution: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Prime Minister Chen from the Prime Minister's Office left with His Majesty, so now half of the documents from the Prime Minister's Office have arrived at us without Prime Minister Zuo's approval."
There was a bit of shame on his face: "Prime Minister Li asked for leave, saying that his health was not good again. After a cold wind last winter, he began to cough day by day."
"My cough has become even more severe in the past few days, so I am unable to handle some of the government affairs of the Prime Minister's Office."
"Nowadays, some of the insignificant government affairs of the Prime Minister's Department are handled by Cao Shen, the "Wen Cheng" of the Prime Minister's Department, and many other people from the Jiuqing Department also helped to handle some of them. "
"The remaining important matters must be handled by the Prime Minister, so they are all sent to you."
After Chu Meng glanced at Fusu cautiously, he said again: "Moreover, in recent days, Tianhai County has been sending news. It seems that some of Baiyue's assimilation has entered the next stage, so to Please give me your order."
Listening to what Chu Meng said about the mission, Fusu was confused for a moment.
The two prime ministers in the Prime Minister's Office went on strike at the same time?
Just hearing Chu Meng's words, Fusu seemed to have thought of something and turned his head to look at Chu Meng: "Is Mr. Li okay?"
Chu Meng said softly: "Li Lingshi said it was nothing serious, just a little bit cold, and he has been recuperating at home. The imperial doctor also went over to see him, and he also said he needed to be taken care of."
"That's why I took leave."
Fusu nodded, and then said: "Then let Xiang Li take a break for the time being."
He pressed his forehead and said, "Both Prime Minister Li and the teacher are taking a break. It's not okay if no one is in charge of the important matters of the Prime Minister's office."
Fusu pondered for a moment and wanted to send a letter to Ying Zheng, asking his father to appoint new officials or temporary personnel, but he paused as soon as he raised his hand.
Because he thought of what Ying Zheng said before he left, there are only three chances...
He fell silent.
Should I use it now at the first opportunity?
He still doesn't know how many years his teacher and father will be gone. It's really not good to use up an opportunity at the beginning.
Therefore, after Fusu was silent for a short time, he raised his head, looked at Chu Meng, and whispered: "According to Chuangu's decree, the young master Xiao He was temporarily appointed as part of the right minister's government affairs; the prime minister was appointed Wen Cheng as " "Ling Shi", and together with Shaofu Xiao He, handled matters of the Prime Minister's Office. "
Having said this, Fusu touched his chin again, and then said: "Promote Liu Chen, a clerk in the Prime Minister's Department, to be the Prime Minister's Department of "Seal Script Repair", and promote Yan Zhengchun, a doctor from Baijiagong, to be the Prime Minister's Director of History. Liu, Chen and Xiuzhuan also took charge of handling the government affairs of Prime Minister Zuo. "
Xiao He and Cao Shen are both Confucian figures. Even if they can't handle some things or problems arise, the people behind them can solve them.
Yan Zhengchun and Liu Chen belong to the other hundreds of schools.
This can achieve a delicate balance.
Just as Chu Meng was about to deliver the order, another smile appeared on Fusu's lips.
It is not enough to let people from these two backgrounds achieve a delicate balance, because there is no one with high status, qualifications, and background who can control the situation and handle the problem when it "breaks out."
So Fusu once again promoted a new character.
This character is of high seniority, has deep qualifications, and has a thorough background.
"In addition, Zuo Ge, the deputy director of the Education Department, is temporarily appointed as the deputy left minister of the Prime Minister's Department to take charge of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Department."
In this way, the last worry is gone.
Why does Zuo Ge need people?
Chen Ke's senior brother, a doctor from Baijiagong, and the deputy director of the Education Department.
In terms of seniority and qualifications, this was the direct disciple of Mozi who had closed his doors as a disciple. In terms of background, he was the senior brother of the then Marquis of Chang'an and Prime Minister Zuo.
In terms of seniority, only Li Si and Lin Jing in the entire Great Qin could be of the same generation as him.
These are still peers in terms of "principles".
After all, everyone is a disciple of various scholars, but in terms of seniority in the true sense, no one can offend this master.
Li Si was a disciple of Xunzi, but Xunzi was a hundred years later than Mozi, and Xunzi was partly a descendant of Confucius (although he did not admit it himself), while Mozi was a figure who truly competed with Confucius.
If this is really the case, then Zuo Ge is actually of the same generation as Xunzi and Zhuangzi, the teachers of Li Si and Lin Jing.
He was completely able to suppress the people of these two factions.
You can live peacefully in the Prime Minister's Department.
Chu Meng nodded slightly, and then went to deliver the order.
The few people who were appointed by Fusu did not have the slightest pride, and just let nature take its course and acted as before, while some people in the court did not make the slightest move.
After all, everyone can see the situation clearly now, and this person is really starting to prepare to accept power.
Things have become settled, and you have to think about it even if you don’t want to.
So what else to consider?
Just be obedient.
Fusu looked at Chu Meng's leaving figure and pressed Jump's forehead. He felt that his head hurt and he looked a little tired.
"It turns out that the balance that father and teacher often talk about is this."

Li Mansion
Li Si pressed his forehead slightly. He was lying on the bed, with Li Yang and Li You standing next to him. The whole room was filled with sadness.
He sighed and said, "Why be so sad?"
"I'm just sick, not dead."
There was some inexplicable worry in Li Yang's expression: "Father, please don't say that."
He sighed: "You haven't seen my child yet. What's more, now that Prime Minister Chen is on a tour outside Xianyang with His Majesty, if you fall down at this time, what will Da Qin do?"
Li Si curled his lips. After all, the will in his heart had the upper hand.
"Okay, I listen to you, just take the medicine when you need to."
"Why bother using that little thief Chen Ke to suppress me?"
He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the faint pain in his body, feeling a little helpless.
Perhaps his spirit was too relaxed, and some of the illnesses that were still suppressed broke out at this time.
He asked the imperial doctor to tell Fusu that he had Fenghan, but that was not entirely the case.
Li Si was indeed suffering from wind-chill, but it was not just wind-chill. He suffered from multiple diseases that broke out at the same time in his body, and many parts of his body were deficient. After another winter day, the wind-chill broke out.
He didn't want Fusu to worry, let alone Chen Ke and Ying Zheng who had just left.

Kuaiji County
Wang Jian yawned slightly. He rode on horseback and paraded around the city. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle soaring in the sky.
Although this eagle is somewhat old, he can still catch prey.
"Da da--"
The sound of horse hooves reached the ears of the people around him, and Wang Jian continued to patrol the territory.
He looked at the figure who was building the city in the distance, and asked the soldiers following him in a low voice: "Were these laborers recruited here?"
The young general around nodded and said very skillfully: "General, these laborers were indeed recruited. The governor of Kuaiji County said that Prime Minister Chen specially approved a sum of money to pay these laborers."
"Governor Yang also said that Prime Minister Chen said that the construction of Tianhai City is one of the most important events in Daqin today. We must not fall behind. Let us just recruit people."
Wang Jian squinted his eyes slightly: "Then why do I see that there are still some people who don't look like me, Da Qin? Some are from Baiyue? Some don't look like Baiyue people, and their bodies are darker."
The soldier chuckled and said in a low voice: "General, those people are not 'recruited', but 'purchased'. "
He rubbed his hands and said: "If everyone recruits, then our funds will be insufficient. These people were purchased at extremely low prices and were captured from the "Mauryan Dynasty" further south. , and some are the Baiyue people who rebelled at the beginning. "
"We ordinary people in the Qin Dynasty are paid wages. Those Baiyue people were prisoners of war because they rebelled and resisted the Qin Dynasty, so they had no wages and only had three meals. The rest are from the Mauryan Dynasty that we bought or captured People, they only care about two meals."
"The workers recruited to build Tianhai City only need to work three to four hours a day, while the Baiyue prisoners of war need to work four to five hours, and the slaves need to work more than six hours."
Wang Jian frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. At this time, it was generally believed that barbarians were not human beings.
The more famous assertions that white horses are not horses and that barbarians are human came out during this period, so he did not care about the lives of those slaves.
"I don't care what you do to those people from the Mauryan Dynasty, but if I find out, or if you dare to arrest the people of Great Qin..."
Wang Jian looked at the soldier with a strange look, as if he was talking to another person through the soldier.
"Then you have to know that I am not a very good-tempered person."
The soldier immediately smiled flatteringly: "Don't worry, how could he be from Da Qin?"
Wang Jian chuckled: "It's okay if it's not."
"I just hope that one day I don't get really greedy and do something like this."

Western Regions
on the grassland
There was blood everywhere, and the endless blood echoed in the surrounding air.
Modun stood on horseback on the endless grassland. His eyes were resentful and deep, and the corners of his mouth had a slightly ferocious arc. He raised his arms and shouted: "I'll wait, we win!"
The wolf rider behind him also shouted: "Win!"
Modun's horse kept riding on the grassland. Under the horse's hooves were all the rotting meat and corpses with heavy casualties. Some of the corpses were covered with armor, some were animal skins, and most were rags.
These are the soldiers of the Roman Empire. They fell under the wolf cavalry and fell into the hands of the Huns protected by the eternal heaven.
Moton reined in the horse, the horse brayed, and everything seemed normal.
He shouted: "From today on, this boundless grassland is our territory! The Great Hun Empire once again stands under the great Eternal Sky!"
Maodun dismounted, then prostrated on the ground, looking at the infinitely high sky: "Come up to the eternal sky! Protect us when we return to Qilian!"
The remaining wolf rider behind him also dismounted and crawled on the ground, following Mao Dun's movements and looking at the infinitely high sky.
"Go to the Immortal Heaven again! Protect us when we return to Qilian——"
"Go to the Immortal Heaven again! Protect us when we return to Qilian——"
"Go to the Immortal Heaven again! Protect us when we return to Qilian——"
The exciting sound echoed across the grassland, and the surrounding rivers were so agitated by the sound that they temporarily stopped flowing.

Yin Shang Continent
Dashang
Xu Fu looked at the Shang King Di Lun in front of him and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, how have you harvested these days?"
Although Di Lun was classified as the king of a country, he still acted like a humble minister beside Xu Fu. He said with respect in his voice: "Xu Shiling, fortunately with the help of the Qin army, the Shang Kingdom has now occupied It’s a land far beyond what it was before.”
"We have found the place with resources like "oil" that you drew before, and we have also found several silver mines and gold mines. "
He chuckled: "We have already begun to organize the local indigenous people to mine gold and silver ore, and oil mines are also being built. In about a month, we can start digging and extracting oil."
Di Lun touched his head: "It's just that Xiao Wang has a merciless request."
Xu Fu glanced at Di Lun curiously: "What?"
Di Lun rubbed his hands: "Can I use the oil, gold and silver mines in this part of the Shang Kingdom to exchange for some things that the Shang Kingdom needs? Such as cotton cloth, porcelain, tea, etc."
Xu Fu looked at Di Lun with a deep and interesting look: "You are very wise."
Why is Di Lun wise?
Because whether it is oil or gold and silver mines, they are all things that Great Qin needs now. These things are needed by Great Qin, so they can exchange these things for some of what they need.
After all, no matter how precious these things are, the current Shang Kingdom still has no need for them.
Although this is a bit short-sighted, it currently seems to be the best approach.
In fact, what Di Lun really wanted to change was in the "waiting", such as farming technology, farming tools, and iron farm tools such as Chenke plows and Chenke carts.
These can allow his country to develop rapidly. This is what he really needs.
It's just that he didn't dare to say it, so he hid it in "waiting", wanting to wait and see what Da Qin's attitude said about these things.
This is a qualified king.
Xu Fu picked up the tea cup and put it aside. It was porcelain brought back from Da Qin: "So, how do you want to exchange it?"
He said with some hints in his tone: "You can make a list according to your needs and the needs of Shangguo, and mark the price you can accept."
"I should go back to Daqin in half a year. You don't have to follow me when I go back to Daqin this time."
There was seriousness in Xu Fu's voice, but there was also a hint of smile that Di Lun couldn't understand.
Di Lun asked curiously and cautiously: "What do you mean?"
Xu Fu took out an imperial edict from his sleeve. This was the canonization edict of the First Emperor. It was the most important task assigned to him by the First Emperor.
Let him take it out at the right time and give it to Di Lun.
Now Xu Fu felt that now was a suitable opportunity, so he took it.
He handed it to Di Lun and let him see it for himself.
Di Lun took the imperial edict and looked at it carefully. His hands were trembling slightly.
Because the imperial edict states that His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor from the Qin Empire and the Supreme Emperor at the center of the world, canonized him and canonized him as "Emperor".
He was allowed to call himself emperor instead of king.
Allow him to use the title "Gu".
He was allowed to establish "Prince" instead of "Prince".
From then on, the Shang Kingdom may be called the "Great Shang Empire", and Di Lun can be changed from King of Shang to Emperor of Shang. He no longer needs to call himself a little king, but can call himself a lone king.
act like an absolute monarch!
Xu Fu looked at Di Lun with a smile and said softly: "Your Majesty Di Lun, what your Majesty means is that you are not a subject of Great Qin, but an ally of Great Qin."
"Although His Majesty the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty has canonized you now, His Majesty the First Emperor is the ancestor of the world, and he is worthy of this status."
"If you and the Shang State can meet Qin's requirements for allies, His Majesty the First Emperor will crown you with a "crown" as the First Emperor and Zulong, and you can be called the "Emperor" from now on. "
Not everyone can claim to be emperor.
This "title" or "crown" requires qualifications and requires you to conquer everyone in a civilized circle.
The "crown" or "person" recognized by everyone in later generations is probably the title of "Emperor of the Chinese Empire" in Asia, the title of "Emperor of the Roman Empire" in Europe, the "Great Khan" of Mongolia, and the "Golden Khan" of the Hun Empire. /Golden Khan".
Although this era does not pay attention to this for the time being, who dares to use the title "Emperor" without the permission of the Emperor of Qin?
Are you really desperate?
King Shang, oh, the current Emperor Shang feels that he is still in danger, after all, he is still holding the lap of the Qin Empire.
But no matter how much people like hugging thighs, they still want to save face...
This behavior of the First Emperor undoubtedly gave him face and allowed him to use the title "Emperor". This was of course a bit humiliating. After all, the title of Emperor of the "Shang Kingdom" was given by the Qin Dynasty. This shows that the Shang Dynasty The country is the younger brother of Da Qin.
but.....
So what?
This is Di Lun's truest thought today.

On the road to Sanchuan County
inside the carriage
Ying Zheng looked at the surrounding environment and felt the stability inside the carriage, and couldn't help but admired: "Chen Ke, Chen Ke, I never understood the use of asking those "scientists" to study the rules. "
"Since the birth of gunpowder, I have understood a little bit."
"But when using the carriage today, this understanding has reached its peak."
"It is because of the existence of these people that I can travel around the world so comfortably and no longer have to endure the hardships of carriages and horses."
The second one is a little later, around 11:30.
