Zhangtai Palace.
The First Emperor's expression was a little complicated and difficult to understand. He knew in his heart the horror and powerlessness of death.
The death of the previous king and now the death of the old Guowei stimulated the heart of the First Emperor even more.
As an emperor, with great power, he naturally cannot stand old age and death.
He can arrange his posthumous affairs rationally, but he still has certain hopes for immortality.
In fact, it is not the fault of the First Emperor. This is an era with many myths and legends and folklore. This is an era in which people live their lives according to the "Rishu".
There are many people who seek immortality.
The First Emperor was not alone.
Yingshu told him more than once that there is no immortality in the world, and there are no gods in heaven and earth, but Yingshu's performance would make him shaken.
Born to know it!
If it weren't for the blessing of heaven, if it weren't for the gods of heaven and earth, who would be born to know it? At the moment, he only knows Ying Shu.
........
Meng Wu's death caused a thought in everyone's mind, and there was a hint of depression in the air of Xianyang.
This is the first important minister to die of illness since the Qin Dynasty unified the world.
And it’s still at the beginning of the year!
Yingshu stood in front of the window, looking at the falling snow, with a complicated expression. He knew in his heart that this year, he was probably going to be sad.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Yingshu turned to the civil servant and said, "Send a greeting card to the government and ask Wei Xi to prepare the carriage!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, the clerk turned around and left. Yingshu stood in front of the window, silent for a long time.
It's cold and freezing, and the most difficult thing to endure is the elderly.
Especially the elderly in Qian’s home.
Although part of the Imperial Medical Center has been built, it has not yet penetrated into the counties and counties of the Empire, and if they want treatment, they don't have much money or food.
In today's empire, the leaders of the world have no extra money and food, but only enough food to survive. From Ying Shu's point of view, this kind of development is unscientific.
"Your Majesty, the carriage is ready!" Wei Xi walked into the room and said towards Yingshu: "It's snowing heavily now, I'm afraid it's going to rain for a while."
"Well, go to the national government!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Wei Xi protected the victory and headed towards the government. He had to remind the government not to let the cold take away more old Qin people.
Moreover, regarding some matters, he also needed to communicate with Li Si and Wang Wan before making a decision.
The crunching sound of the ruts crushing the snow became the only sound in the streets.
The snow was falling heavily and the wind was biting.
"Your Majesty, the government has arrived!" Wei Xi's voice came as Ying Shu got off the carriage.
"Um!"
Nodding slightly, Yingshu headed towards the government office and said to the government officials: "Arrange for them and find a quiet empty room for them to rest!"
"promise!"
It's too cold!
Yingshu was not sure how long he would stay in the palace. Naturally, Wei Xi and others could not be allowed to stay outside in such a cold weather.
Moreover, returning to the mansion also takes time. It is unnecessary to come and go again and again.
"I've seen the teacher, I've seen the king!" Ying Shu said as he walked into the political hall and saluted Li Si and Wang Wan.
Hearing this, the two of them stood up quickly, saluted Yingshu, and said, "I have seen your Majesty!"
Both of them knew that winning skills were no longer what they used to be.
In particular, the First Emperor issued an edict naming Ying Shu as his heir, which meant that at this moment Ying Shu himself was one of the princes of Qin.
And he is also the one with the highest inheritance rights!
"Your Majesty has arrived, what are your orders?" Wang Wan and Li Si looked at each other, then turned to Ying Shu and said.
In Wang Wan's view, the relationship between Ying Shu and Li Si was that of teacher and student, and it would be more appropriate for him to ask some questions.
"It's snowing heavily, I'm afraid it's going to be cold this year!" After taking a sip of hot tea, Yingshu looked at Wang Wan and said word by word: "It's snowing heavily, so it won't have much impact on us!"
"However, it will have a huge impact on the major counties in the empire. If it is not handled properly, there will be casualties!"
"I thought the national government would be more attentive and make arrangements in advance to deal with disasters!"
"Now that the old Imperial Master has passed away from illness, I'm afraid that some of my father's energy has to be devoted to funeral arrangements. Moreover, there is also a big dynasty at the beginning of the year, so it is inevitable that there will be some negligence!"
........
Ying Shu is now considered a member of the government, so he can naturally mention this matter. This is one of the reasons why Ying Shu waited until the First Emperor's edict was issued before rushing to the government.
It is justifiable and necessary for a country and a system.
"Um!"
At this moment, Li Si nodded: "Regarding this matter, the government agencies have also responded!"
"The weather this year is a bit cold, so the start of plowing has to be postponed!"
"It's hard for the elderly in the empire's counties to survive this season!"
"However, there is nothing the empire can do about this matter, and neither can the court!"
Li Si naturally knew that once such a situation spread, it would be a challenge and a shake to the authority of the empire's center.
However, there was nothing the empire could do about this.
Even if doctors are dispatched, it will be a drop in the bucket.
Yingshu has been promoting the medical workshop system, but now only Nei Shi has a certain scale of medical workshops, while other major counties are still in ruins.
"We can't control it this year, but we can't control it forever in the future. The empire will eventually solve this matter!"
After taking a sip of tea, Yingshu turned to Li Si and Wang Wan and said, "Teacher, Prime Minister, in the final analysis, the empire is still too poor in Guizhou!"
"Even if the medical clinic system is thoroughly promoted, the world's leading officials in Guizhou will still look down on doctors!"
"We should also think of a way, not only to keep the leaders of Guizhou from starving to death, but also to give them the confidence to fight against sudden accidents!"
“Not only do we want to enrich the country, we also want to hide wealth among the people!”
Yingshu said what was in his heart.
He knew very well how difficult it was to hide wealth among the people in a country that had always valued the basics and suppressed the weak. The various systems of Da Qin were all for the purpose of strengthening the country, not enriching the people.
"Hiding wealth among the people is easy to say, but how difficult it is to do it!"
Li Si took a sip of tea, sighed, and said: "It's not that the government has never thought about this situation. I even simulated it with the left prime minister!"
"However, no matter how you simulate it, it cannot change it. Hiding wealth among the people is contrary to the imperial system. If you want to hide wealth among the people, you need to go to war!"
"Today's imperial court simply does not have such ability and confidence!"
As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and the person in charge of the government, both Wang Wan and Li Si wanted to make the empire rich and bring the Qin Dynasty into a prosperous age.
However, only they know best how difficult it is to achieve this.
If you want to completely change the imperial system, it is definitely not something that can be accomplished in one generation. This needs to be done step by step!
