Regardless of what later generations will boast about the Zhenguan rule, the prosperous Kaiyuan era, or any other prosperous era, in fact, in that era, there were still people who did not have enough to eat and lack of warmth.
China has been in China for more than five thousand years. The time when the problem of food and clothing was truly and completely solved was actually after our reform.
If the First Emperor wanted to realize his dream, he must vigorously develop the country.
And developing a country does not happen overnight.
Not to mention the history of more than two thousand years in later generations, even the history before Qin is enough to illustrate how arduous the road to realizing that dream is.
Fortunately, the First Emperor also knew the difficulty of dreams and did not have the enthusiasm to start a war and unify the earth.
"Old Prime Minister, after I leave Xianyang, Feng Jie will assist you. You must implement the national policy of 'dividing a small family into a small family'!"
Ying Zheng was sitting in the study, looking at Wang Wan with a solemn expression, and said earnestly.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will do my best to never let you down!"
Wang Wan solemnly handed over his hand.
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Gong Yanggan: "Zuopushe, how are you preparing for the recruitment assessment?"
"Your Majesty, the examination questions have been decided. After a while, the thirty-six counties will be advertised for the scholars to enter Xianyang for the examination!" Gongyang Gan replied respectfully.
"good!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "Be sure to be fair and just!"
"I obey the decree!"
The ram dared to take orders and step aside.
At this time, Feng Jie took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have already investigated the matter in Dongjun. Apart from the governor of Dongjun who committed suicide by jumping into the river, there are a total of thirty-two officials who have violated the law. According to our Daqin The law requires severe punishment!"
"These unjust officials have caused a lot of disasters for our country, the Qin Dynasty, and Guizhou Province. They really deserve death! List the evidence of their crimes and publish them in a newspaper to make it known to the world. The three tribes of barbarians will be punished!"
Ying Zheng hated unjust officials the most, and when he heard Feng Jie's words, his face turned cold.
Feng Jie looked solemn and bowed to accept the order: "I obey the order."
"Okay, if there is anything else you want to report, let's talk about it together so that I can make a decision together before the eastward patrol!"
Ying Zheng waved his sleeves.
All the ministers present whispered to each other.
The next moment, Meng Yi stood up: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Ying Zheng raised his hand and signaled: "Mr. Lang Zhongling, please come!"
"promise."
Meng Yi promised, and then continued: "Some time ago, news came from Jiuyuan County that King Youxian, Maodun Mingdi, killed his father and took the position of Great Chanyu. King Zuoxian took advantage of the chaos and escaped, and his whereabouts are unknown!"
"King Donghu took the opportunity to occupy a large tract of Xiongnu pasture, but Mao Dun held back and refused to speak out. Instead, King Donghu took advantage of it and demanded the Chan Yulan clan!"
"Mao Dun's subordinates were very angry and requested to send troops to attack Dong Hu. Mao Dun didn't take it seriously and still satisfied King Dong Hu's request!"
"oh?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and immediately looked at the ministers calmly: "What do you think, dear ladies?"
"this"
The ministers looked at each other, looking at each other.
After a moment, Li Si stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this person in Maodun must be an ambitious person. We should pay attention to this person!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this person dares to kill his father and usurp the throne. He is definitely not an ordinary person. I feel that his intentions are not trivial!"
Feng Quji stood up and echoed.
"Um."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said to Wei Liao, "What do you think, old Lieutenant Guo?"
Wei Liao heard this, stroking his beard and said: "The Xiongnu, Donghu, and Dayue clan are the three troubles in the north, among which Donghu is the strongest. Now that the old Xiongnu chanyu is dead, it is understandable that King Donghu will take advantage of the opportunity to profit;
But this sudden display of weakness is unusual, and it seems that he has the style of "sleeping on the fuel and tasting the courage"! "
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes: "So, the Huns want to paralyze Dong Hu and take the opportunity to launch an attack?"
"Based on my inference, it should be so!"
Wei Liao nodded, then suddenly thought of something, and added: "The Huns have enmity with the Dayue clan. If the Xiongnu annexes Donghu, and the Dayue clan is next, then the northern grasslands may be unified by Maodun!"
"snort!"
Ying Zheng snorted: "A mere barbarian wants to learn from our Central Plains culture. How ridiculous!"
It was obvious that the First Emperor had great disdain for those who imitated himself.
Although there was nothing wrong with Mao Dun's approach, he felt that the other party was not of a high standard and actually tried to play the same game with him.
"Then what is your Majesty's decision? Should you send troops to intervene, or?"
Meng Yi asked tentatively.
Ying Zheng glanced at him, then at Wei Liao, frowned and said: "It is my decree that Meng Tian should pay attention to the Huns' actions at all times. If he discovers that the Huns are sending troops to Donghu, he will immediately attack the Xiongnu's rear! We must not let Mao Dun succeed!"
"In addition, we order all counties, prefectures, central military establishments, and even all armies to report the abandoned armaments of the six countries truthfully. Anyone who omits or misreports will be severely punished!"
"this"
Meng Yi was stunned for a moment, and said with some confusion: "Why does your Majesty count the abandoned armaments?"
"I have my own arrangements for this matter, you can just follow my orders!"
Ying Zheng's expression was indifferent, his eyes were calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Meng Yi felt a chill in his heart and immediately bowed to accept the order.
The other ministers looked at each other, full of doubts.
It seemed that no one knew what the First Emperor was going to do.
Only Wei Liao understood and silently stepped aside.
At this time, Zhao Gao's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Young Master Hao wants to see you!"
"Um?"
Ying Zheng frowned, raised his eyes and scanned the crowd, and found that they were all silent. He immediately waved his hands and said, "If there is nothing else important, please go down!"
"promise."
The ministers accepted the promise and left the study one after another.
"I have asked Linghu Fan to prepare for the bank matter. Why else do you want to come to me?"
Ying Zheng asked a little strangely when he saw Zhao Hao appearing in front of him with a smile and carrying a food box.
He also had some understanding of Zhao Hao's character.
It is definitely not easy to get Zhao Hao to come to him.
But Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Father, why don't you eat? This is delicious food carefully prepared by my son, and there is also fine wine!"
"What bad idea are you planning?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and remained unmoved.
Zhao Hao opened the food box with a smile, placed boiled meat slices, Kung Pao chicken, and stir-fried beef in front of the First Emperor, then poured him a glass of mellow and rich white wine, and then said: "Father, please try it! "
Ying Zheng was a little confused by Zhao Hao. He raised his head and glanced at Meng Yi, who shook his head slightly to express his ignorance.
But Zhao Hao raised his hand again to signal: "Father, eat it. If you don't eat it, it will get cold. These dishes will not taste good when they are cold."
After saying that, he took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks, put a piece of beef into his mouth, and ate it happily.
"?"
A small question mark slowly appeared on Ying Zheng's forehead. After a while, he said with a straight face: "What do you mean, don't do this to me!"
"Oh, Father, if you don't want to eat, how can you ask me to speak!"
"Hmph! You are soft-spoken and short-handed when you take advantage of others, but as you said, I will not be fooled by you!"
"this"
Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment, put down his chopsticks helplessly, and said, "Okay, actually I want to ask my father to find a stepmother for me!"
"stepmother?"
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face.
".She is the mother-in-law!"
"Why are you looking for my mother-in-law!?"
Ying Zheng was suddenly startled and almost stood up from his seat.
Meng Yi on the side had a look of astonishment on his face and felt his head buzzing.
Sir, are you done with your meal?
Others hate their father for finding a stepmother for them, but you are lucky enough to take the initiative to find a stepmother for yourself!
What a filial son!
"Father."
Zhao Hao came forward and called Ying Zheng, his face full of sincerity and said: "As the old saying goes, a prince with a mother and concubine is like a treasure, and a prince without a mother and concubine is like a grass. Sons and ministers want to be treasures, but don't want to be. Grass"
"What the hell is this!"
Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Where did you learn this mess?"
"It does not matter."
Zhao Hao said with a playful smile: "The important thing is that I want a concubine, my father can find one for me!"
"you"
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Hao deeply for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at him: "Are you sick? Why did you start talking nonsense?"
"No, my son is doing very well and is not sick!"
"snort!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "I see you are seriously ill! Come here, tell Xia Wuji, let this kid see if he has a brain disease!"
"No, no, no, I'm really not sick! Father, please listen to what I have to say!"
"I'm too lazy to listen!"
"Oh, Father, listen to me. I have found a woman for you. From now on, you will marry her and adopt me as her son!"
"You traitor! What do you think of me?"
Ying Zheng suddenly stood up and slapped the table.
Meng Yi on the side looked even more confused at this time, with his mouth wide open and unable to speak even a single word.
He never expected that Zhao Hao would be so bold and bold.
The First Emperor was famous for treating women like clothes.
Therefore, the First Emperor never established a queen or empress from beginning to end.
Originally, the First Emperor gathered the maids from the Six Kingdoms, and everyone in the world was scolding the First Emperor for his lewdness and immorality. As the son of the First Emperor, you did not prove his innocence to your father, but you took the initiative to find a woman for your father?
Doesn’t this make your father jump into a river and not be able to wash it off?
How weird!
Let’s talk about Zhao Hao.
Naturally, he came to see the First Emperor with a purpose.
As long as the First Emperor did not 'kill his son to prove he is a tyrant', he felt that he could continue to test.
So he cleared his throat: "Ahem, father, aren't you curious about that woman? She's so beautiful! She also looks very capable!"
"Um?"
Ying Zheng, who was furious just now, looked surprised: "What beautiful woman, what are you talking about?"
"It's actually nothing!"
Zhao Hao spread his hands: "It was at the birthday party that day. I looked at Hu Hai and his son, and I felt a little envious. I have never had a mother and concubine since I was a child. I don't know the taste of maternal love, so I just want to experience it."
"Tell me the truth!"
Ying Zheng's eyes widened and his voice was like thunder, which made Zhao Hao tremble.
"Okay, okay, that woman is quite rich. I think she has no children. Why don't you let me inherit the family property and then live alone until death? At least it's guaranteed."
Zhao Hao said truthfully.
"You treacherous son! You are waiting for death just to eat for free, even your father is plotting against you!?"
Ying Zheng slammed the table, not knowing whether he should cry or laugh.
But Zhao Hao said seriously again:
"This is not a calculation. I have already thought about it. We, father and son, will spend her money together and use her money. It will be enough for a lifetime!"
"Asshole! A real man."
"How can a man live in heaven and earth without relying on women to live?"
Zhao Hao interrupted Ying Zheng with a wink.
Ying Zheng glared at him, not wanting to continue talking nonsense with him, and waved directly: "Get out! Get out of here!"
"Oh, Father, think about it, I think she also likes you."
Zhao Hao is still determined to fight for it.
Seeing him like this, Ying Zheng noticed something was wrong after a moment, and asked Zhao Hao blankly: "Wait, who are you talking about?"
"Ba Qingshi!"
"What!?"
Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he stared at Zhao Hao in astonishment. The expression on his face seemed to be frozen and indescribable.
It seemed like an unparalleled shock.
Next to him, Meng Yi stood there with his mouth as big as a box, as if he had been hit by a restraining spell, and the shock in his heart was even more terrifying.
The two of them just looked at Zhao Hao blankly, making his scalp tingle and making him break into a cold sweat.
"Gulu."
Zhao Hao swallowed dryly.
