Lishan County Yamenwai.
Zhang Han suppressed his laughter and did not look at the heads of Zhongxian and the others. He stepped forward and patted Zhongxian on the shoulder, comforting him: "It's okay. It's good to wear a headscarf. Young Master won't laugh at you."
"We have been with the young master for several years and know his temper best. He will definitely laugh us to death."
Zhongxian muttered dejectedly.
Erhu on the side also echoed with despair: "It's okay to be laughed at by the young master. When I think of Chang Wei and Laifu, I would rather stay here."
Snapped!
When Dahu heard Erhu's words, he scalped him: "What are you talking about? Young Master asked us to go back. There must be important arrangements. It's just a hair, so don't worry."
"But."
Er Hu was about to exchange a few words with Da Hu when he saw Chen Sheng and Wu Guang standing aside from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but smile and offered his hands to them: "Thank you two brothers for your help!"
"It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning!"
Chen Sheng returned the greeting humbly and said with some self-reproach: "I saw you being besieged by Sihe and the others before, but I didn't come out to help. I only threw a pole for you. I'm really ashamed!"
"Oh? So you threw that pole?"
“I’m really ashamed of what I did in a hurry.”
"hehe."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhongxian smiled noncommittally, turned around and said, "Are you also from Xiying?"
"Yeah, we live next to you!"
Wu Guang interrupted: "Chen Sheng admires you very much and often talks about you to me."
"Oh? You admire us?"
Zhongxian was a little surprised.
But Er Hulang, who was standing by, laughed and said: "What do you admire? We will all be brothers from now on. If anything happens, come to Xianyang to see us!"
"this"
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang looked at each other and saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes, but it only lasted for a moment and then disappeared.
At this time, Zhang Han on the side suddenly said to them: "Zhongxian and the others are going to Xianyang to serve as slaves. From now on, your work will be done by you. Are you willing?"
"Thank you, General Zhang Han, we are willing!"
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang looked at each other again. They couldn't help but feel overjoyed and quickly offered their hands to Zhang Han.
The work of Zhongxian and the others is simply not easy.
It is said that it is a military service, but in fact it is almost like a vacation.
Being able to receive such preferential treatment shows that they made the right bet.
"Okay, since you are willing, then take over Zhongxian's work from now on!"
Zhang Han smiled and nodded, then looked at the sky and said to Zhongxian and the others, "It's getting late. Don't keep the young master waiting. Go back quickly and say hello to the young master for me."
"Thank you, General Zhang Han, for taking care of me during this time. We will say hello to the young master for you!"
Zhongxian bowed respectfully.
Dahu and Erhu quickly handed over their hands: "Thank you, General Zhang Han!"
"No need to be polite, just go ahead!"
Zhang Han smiled and waved his hand, watching the three of them board the carriage and head north.
After they left, Zhang Han turned to look at Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and sighed meaningfully: "You have a good vision, and you will definitely be able to accomplish something in the future."
"!"
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were startled. Just as they were about to speak, they saw Zhang Han wave his hand again: "I'll take my carriage back later, and there will be less trouble in the future."
"Thank you, General Zhang Han!"
"Don't worry, thank you. It will depend on your performance in the future!"
"yes."
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang nodded in agreement.
Soon, they took Zhang Han's carriage and returned to the Lishan West Camp.
the other side.
Lishan Black Prison.
Ting Bu said nothing and stared deep into the cell. He only heard a rustling sound, coming from far to near.
This is more like a mine than a prison cell.
Although there are cells separated by fences, deeper inside are the bottomless mine tunnels.
Every night, the strange sounds coming from the depths of the mine make it difficult to fall asleep.
This is one of the reasons why dark cells are so scary.
Of course, what is more terrifying than this are the poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the mine tunnel.
If you are not careful, you will be bitten or poisoned to death by poisonous insects, snakes and ants.
"call"
"call"
As the rustling sounds got closer and closer, Ting Bu's heart rose to his throat.
Just as he was swallowing his saliva, a black shadow that flashed into lightning swooped towards his neck.
Uh-huh!
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Tingbu grabbed it into the air and saw a monster that looked like a long snake, with a head like a flying fish, and long sharp teeth, twisting and turning in his hand.
"hey-hey!"
The moment Ying Bu caught the strange fish, he smiled brightly, picked up the rocks on the ground, and quickly hit the strange fish on the head.
Soon, the strange fish let out a shrill scream, which spread throughout the mine tunnel and echoed continuously.
At this moment, the cell door was suddenly opened: "Yingbu, you can go out now. General Zhang Han is waiting for you outside the door, okay?"
Before he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. He looked closely and saw that his tattooed face was covered with blood, and he was holding a ball of blood that could not be seen clearly in his hand. He couldn't help but scream: "Ah——!" "
At the same time, Xianyang Liuhe lived.
Zhao Haozheng, Xiao He and others were sitting in a private room on the top floor of Liuheju, overlooking the streets of Xianyang, while drinking and chatting.
"Sir, the business of Liuheju is so booming. In addition to the novel and delicious dishes, there is also the reason that scholars from all over the country are constantly pouring into Xianyang. It seems that this examination to become an official is very recognized."
Xiao He picked up the wine glass, looked at the excitement downstairs, and said with emotion.
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Now that the world has just calmed down, the people of the Six Kingdoms are still hostile to Qin, but this hostility has turned from the bright side to the dark side;
But their main body is still Guizhou. As long as Guizhou is not in chaos, they won't be able to cause much trouble! "
As he said that, he glanced at the scholars downstairs and sighed; "Most of these people are from poor families, but the court can't use so many people, so we have to find a way to deal with them, otherwise the entire Xianyang City will be demolished. There are no less than this many people”
"ah?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
This solution sounds scary!
"How do you plan to deal with them?" Chen Ping asked with a smile.
As Zhao Hao said, a large number of scholars from poor families poured into Xianyang. Although they added some talents to the court, they also brought serious public security problems to Xianyang.
The most important thing is that most of the poor people are relatively poor and have no ability to make a living. If their survival problems are not solved, public security will become increasingly serious.
"You are all talented people who follow me. You should help me share my worries. Why are you asking me questions?"
Zhao Hao smiled awkwardly.
When he first proposed the examination to become an official, he never thought about this issue because he was not sure how many people would come.
Now that I have just returned to Xianyang, I feel that there are at least half as many people in Xianyang, and most of them are from the Six Nations. Those who don't know better think that Xianyang is occupied by the "Six Nations Allied Forces".
Moreover, since the Warring States Period, conflicts have occurred frequently among the six kingdoms. Although Qin unified the six kingdoms, these conflicts cannot be eliminated immediately.
It often takes more than ten years or even decades of integration to let go of those feuds.
Even in a world more than two thousand years later, the hatred between countries will not be resolved quickly, let alone now more than two thousand years ago.
In this era, not to mention quarrels and fights, killing people over disagreements is common.
If it weren't for the fear of Qin's strict laws, Xianyang City would have been in a panic.
But I heard Cao Shen mutter: "Young Master has decided to open the Imperial Institute of Technology and the Academy of Sciences. Your Majesty has also agreed to build the Nan Study Room and the Hanlin Academy, which should be able to accommodate some people."
"only."
As he spoke, he changed the topic and added, "The number of people we can accommodate is still limited, so it's impossible to reject everyone who comes."
"I think if this is not the case, we should stop the official examination first, otherwise more and more people will flock to Xianyang, and there will be more and more conflicts by then, and it may be easy to get into trouble!"
Lu Wan interrupted.
Zhao Hao glanced at him without saying anything, and turned to look at Xiao He.
I saw Xiao He's brows furrowed, and for a moment, he said thoughtfully: "The official examination is only the second round, there is still the third round, and the fourth round. If it is stopped rashly, it may have an impact on the court's credibility!"
"Moreover, most of these people are here to explore the road. On the way, they heard many of the deeds of the young master and his majesty's national policies. Their impression of the great Qin country of tigers and wolves is changing. If you stop the official assessment, you will not only miss the future. Many talents will also shatter the impression they have established before, and the gain outweighs the loss."
"Having said that, if the official examination is not stopped, there will be more and more scholars in Xianyang. They have no means of livelihood, so they can't let the court support them, right?"
Chen Ping frowned and looked at Xiao He.
Xiao He smiled and retorted: "If they can pass the examination, what's wrong with the imperial court raising them?"
"But what should we do if they fail the test and don't want to leave?"
"Then let's revive the practice of raising retainers and let the dignitaries in Xianyang City support them for the imperial court!"
"this"
When everyone heard Xiao He's words, they couldn't help but feel shocked.
Even Zhao Hao looked sideways at Xiao He.
Is this guy really here to join me?
Why do you feel like you're causing trouble?
Letting the dignitaries in Xianyang City support their retainers, wouldn't this drive the First Emperor's father into a rage?
However, in the face of everyone's questioning looks, Xiao He behaved extremely calmly: "The powerful and the powerful can't keep everyone as they did in the past. They have to follow the rules of the court!"
"Oh? The rules of the imperial court?"
When Zhao Hao heard this, he immediately became interested.
But Xiao He continued: "The imperial court will accept those scholars who pass the examination, but those who do not pass the examination and do not want to leave Xianyang can go to the imperial court to register and record their skills, such as actuarial calculation, writing, accounting, etc. wait;
If a powerful person needs such talents, they can recruit them through the imperial court roster! "
"In this way, these scholars can not only ensure their livelihood, but also prepare for the official exams in the coming year, and at the same time they will not be out of the control of the imperial court!"
"this"
Chen Ping thought about it for a while, but still said doubtfully: "If the powerful don't recruit retainers, how will they arrange for those who have failed the examination?"
"If the powerful don't recruit, then they will be distributed throughout the city!"
"Um?"
Chen Ping was stunned and subconsciously looked at Zhao Hao.
But Zhao Hao also looked confused.
Just listen to Xiao He say again: "Xianyang Newspaper Office distributes newspapers every day, which can help them promote themselves for free. If no one recruits them for a month or two, it only means that they are useless. And useless people can get Pay a small amount of repatriation fee and go back home!”
"But what if they still don't want to leave?"
Lu Wan couldn't help but ask.
Xiao He glanced at Lu Wan and said coldly: "Trash is not worthy of staying in the capital!"
"this"
Lu Wan choked on these words.
Chen Ping smiled knowingly.
Only Zhao Hao touched his nose awkwardly, feeling that he was offended.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Young Master, Zhongxian, Dahu, Erhu, please see me!"
"came back?"
Zhao Hao's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up from his seat and laughed loudly; "Hahaha, my family is back, let them in quickly!"
family?
Everyone keenly grasped a key point and couldn't help but look at Zhao Hao with doubts on their faces.
The word 'family' carries a lot of weight.
You must know that the people who can be called "family" by Zhao Hao, except the First Emperor, are the princes and princesses.
But the names of these three people don't sound like princes or princesses.
It can only be the people around Zhao Hao.
The people around Zhao Hao, including Han Xin and Mond, are not called 'family' by Zhao Hao.
It can be seen from this that the status of these three 'family members' in Zhao Hao's heart is neither high nor low.
"Crunch."
The door of the private room was slowly opened, and what came into view were three men wearing black scarves and coarse linen clothes, who did not dare to look at Zhao Hao.
When Zhao Hao saw them for the first time, he was attracted by their strange behavior. He couldn't help but suppress his smile and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Are you still shy?"
"I'm not shy."
Zhongxian shook his head awkwardly, still not daring to raise his head and look at Zhao Hao.
The big tiger and the second tiger on the side also bowed their heads and remained silent.
Such a scene made Xiao He and others confused.
Seeing Xiao He and others' eyes getting weirder, Zhao Hao immediately shouted with a straight face: "What kind of plane are you doing? Look up!"
"Sir, we"
Zhongxian opened his mouth and was about to speak.
But Zhao Hao said without any doubt: "I count to three, if you don't raise your head, I will make you sisters with the maids in the palace!"
"ah?"
Zhongxian and the other three were shocked.
Zhao Hao read the word 'three' loudly, and then flicked his sleeves: "Come here, pull them out and execute them on the spot!"
"Sir, we were wrong!"
When Zhongxian and the other three heard that Zhao Hao was going to castrate them on the spot, they were so frightened that they quickly raised their heads.
At this moment, the black scarf on his head suddenly slipped off, revealing three shiny 'braised eggs'.
"you."
The moment Zhao Hao saw the 'braised egg', his eyes widened with astonishment on his face.
Xiao He and others on the side also looked at the three people in front of them in surprise.
Is this the Young Master's 'family'?
It’s too different, right?
Does the young master have any special hobbies?
Just when everyone was in shock, Zhao Hao asked again in confusion: "Who are you?"
"Sir, I am Erhu!"
"I am Dahu."
"I am Zhongxian"
"nonsense!"
Zhao Hao slapped the table, his face turned red with anger: "How do you look like my 'family'?"
"No, sir, we."
Zhongxian looked bitter and was about to explain.
Suddenly Zhao Hao slapped his forehead and murmured to himself: "Oh, I see, you are comedians who have just come to Xianyang, right?"
Zhongxian: "."
Dahu: "."
Erhu: "."
