Qin Shihuang frowned and looked at Cao Xiu.
Losing evenly is indeed a good idea.
However, there are many inconveniences in operation. For example, if we are hit by disasters year after year, we cannot recover food. Or maybe it’s been a year of heavy harvests, grain prices can’t be kept down, and granaries are overflowing with grain.
"Is this your idea?"
"To be precise, it was the idea of a friend of mine."
"Why do you have so many friends?!"
Wang Jian immediately sneered.
Do you really think they are eight-year-old children?
"Then there is no way. Who makes me popular? As the saying goes, when you are away from home, you have many friends and many roads. You don't have to worry about these. The main thing now is to write this method into a memorial and submit it to the county magistrate."
Qin Shihuang stood up immediately after hearing this.
He couldn't delay Cao Xiu's work.
"What did you get up for?"
"Don't you want to write a memorial?"
"I'll do everything. What do you want me to do?"
"You mean, let me write?!"
"Not entirely."
"Then..."
"Don't be idle, Jian. You can write in half."
"..."
Qin Shihuang stared, "As a Qin official, you actually let others write memorials for you?"
"Stop it, I'm Qin Jian!"
"..."
Qin Shihuang wished he could slap himself twice.
How could you forget this? !
Cao Xiu is now in Qin Dynasty!
If this is the case, why should we abide by the law?
It is reasonable and reasonable to ask others to write memorials for him!
"Now, are there any questions?"
"Why did you choose the two of me?"
"Seeing that you two are so idle, find something to do."
"..."
Cao Xiu walked to the door and turned around.
"Write carefully and don't be lazy."
After he left, Qin Shihuang laughed.
"Why is Your Majesty laughing?"
"I laugh at Cao Xiu's ignorance." Qin Shi Huang raised his pen with great pride, "Ye Zhuang used to be a minister, how could he not recognize my handwriting? As long as this memorial is sent to him, he will definitely come to Cao's house. Find me!"
Wang Jian suddenly realized.
So that’s it?
If so, then they are safe!
Wang Jian was not idle either and continued to look around.
He was not interested in ordinary book collections.
"Devil's Notes?"
"Xian Ni?"
"One thought lasts forever?"
"hiss……"
Wang Jian was more and more surprised as he turned over the pages. He didn't expect that there were so many treasures hidden in Cao Xiu's study. In addition to books, there are also many strange and eccentric objects. A nearly two-foot-tall bronze sacred tree, a weird bronze mask with vertical eyes, a golden staff painted with fish and birds...
These are priceless treasures!
Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
"Old Master, do you still recognize these objects?"
"Some of them seem to come from Shu, and others should be objects from the Yin and Shang Dynasties." Wang Jian frowned and said: "These are all treasures. He could only get them from tomb thieves. Qin's law says: Stealing, killing and wounding people, If someone steals a tomb and sells it to others, if he has not sold it, then he will think that he is an official, and he will steal it because he thinks he is an official."
Stealing, injuring others, robbing graves for gold, and abducting people are all punishable by zhe. Tomb robbing has been a thing since ancient times, and even though the government has strictly prohibited it with serious crimes, it cannot be stopped. Otherwise, how about all the ways to make money are written in the Qin Code?
"How dare he steal a tomb?!"
Qin Shihuang stared and his brush almost broke.
Okay, okay, you are so awesome!
On the surface, the Qin officials were law-abiding officials, but secretly they stole tombs, brewed wine, and made illicit salt, and they all did it. With what Cao Xiu did, it would not be an exaggeration to die ten thousand times!
He doesn't care about other things. But the matter of stealing the tomb harmed his interests. As emperor, he was the most powerful and wealthy person in Qin. The imperial mausoleum he built in Lishan can be said to be the first mausoleum in ancient and modern times. It was built since he ascended the throne at the age of thirteen. If someone dug up his tomb one day, would he be so angry that he would turn into a corpse on the spot?
Naturally, grave robbers must be severely punished!
…
Cao Xiu lay comfortably on the hanging chair.
Looking at the bamboo slips, he nodded repeatedly.
As expected of someone from the royal family.
Although the handwriting is not very good, the memorial is well written. If this classical Chinese article is to be left for posterity, it would take a thousand and eight hundred words of analysis to be written. Every word is precise, well-founded, and logically clear...it's simply a model essay!
"Is this memorial written by Ah Zheng?"
"certainly!"
"Cao'er."
Cao Xiu shouted.
Soon, the grass came to the front.
"What are your orders, Young Master?"
"Copy this memorial and find someone to hand it over to Mr. Xiao. Just say that this matter is extremely urgent and I hope he can submit it to the county magistrate and governor as soon as possible."
"only!"
"Wait a minute!!" Qin Shihuang was furious, "This memorial has been completed, why do we need her to copy it?"
"Although I feel a little sorry for you, your handwriting is really ugly. If I really submit this memorial, I'm afraid I will be criticized as a dog. And there is another thing. The scroll memorials I wrote before are all cursive. My son wrote it for me, but if it were replaced by yours now, wouldn't it be a mistake?"
Qin Shihuang's face turned livid, and he suddenly became addicted to cheating. This is not to feel sorry for him, but to look down on him!
He worked hard on writing for more than half an hour. Just when he thought he could successfully hand it over to Ye Zhuang and contact Li Si and the others, a large basin of cold water was poured on them.
My heart is cold and my heart is flying!
Is this something a human can do?
"you you you……"
Qin Shihuang pointed at Cao Xiu's nose and was so angry that he could not speak.
"Young people should endure more hardships, which is good for themselves. Studying is the most important to you now, and everything else is secondary. You must cherish the opportunity to study. I see your efforts, so work hard. One day you will get what you want."
Cao Xiuyu spoke seriously.
Wang Jian was also very angry. They thought they could contact Ye Zhuang, but they were stopped by Cao Xiu. Then, he seemed to have thought of something, "Where did all those bronzes in your study come from?"
"bought."
"Where did you buy it?"
"My two friends."
"Could he be a grave robber?!"
"No, no, no, it's Colonel Touch Jin."
"???"
"You are breaking the law!"
Cao Xiu glanced at the excited Azheng and said, "Have I broken too many laws? Besides, they are not digging the tomb of Zhao State. They mainly wander around the Nanjun area, and sometimes visit Shu."
Azheng is from the royal family after all, so it's normal for him to mind this matter.
"Are you going to sell the treasure to make a profit?"
"That's not the case." Cao Xiu waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't care about this small amount of money. I mainly want to collect it and satisfy my personal hobbies."
"Your hobby is really special!"
Cao Xiu sighed helplessly, "Think about it, if I don't buy these things, no one will buy them? I didn't make a profit after buying them, but used them for collection. After other tomb thieves knew that I paid a high price, they also agreed Sold it to me, and by the way, I also recruited a group of masters who stole graves and fought against them. In the future, when there is a rebellion... uprising, we can also rely on them to steal graves and earn money in exchange for food and grass."
"..."
"..."
Qin Shihuang and Wang Jian looked at each other.
Calling him Cao Thief is indeed correct!
