"By the way, do you know a boy named Ji Si? He should be about the same age as you. We have an eldest father, Jichang, and a brother, Jicheng." Wang Jian gathered his thoughts and asked.
It's useless to think about it. Zhao Si's reputation is just not obvious now. When he gets out of Lantian and becomes a court official, he will be very popular in the marriage and love market.
Zhao Si thought about it seriously and shook his head.
"There shouldn't be one. I remember most of the names of the boys I traveled with, so there shouldn't be such a person."
Because of the aura of raw jade, Zhao Si has a very good memory. Basically, Zhao Si remembers the names and looks of the 900 crew members who returned from the ship with him. Zhao Si is basically certain that the boy with the same name as himself did not follow him. Return to Qin together.
"There are many children stranded in Fusang. Time has passed so long that I don't remember them so clearly." Zhao Si added.
Wang Jian nodded and didn't say anything more. He had done his best as his subordinates had asked him to do, and he couldn't force it if there was no result.
After the business talk is over, the next step is the song and dance show.
Drinks, banquets, singing and dancing, a banquet, and the guests enjoyed themselves until dusk fell, when Zhao Si, Wang Li and the two drove away together.
Wang Jian leaned on the recliner and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Master, do you want to go back and rest?" Wang Xing said softly from the side.
"Let's go around..." Wang Jian got into the wheelchair with Wang Xing's support.
Wang Xing pushed Wang Jian, and when he met the threshold, he helped him over. The Wang family had its own garden with running water, and a master and a servant were walking in the dusk.
"This kid is good." Wang Xing said softly.
"That's true, but it's a pity that the Wang family doesn't have a legitimate daughter of the right age." Wang Jian smiled and said.
"Master can adopt a girl from the side line." Wang Xing suggested.
The direct line is naturally Wang Jian and Wang Ben.
The side branch was gone. The Wang family only reached its peak in the hands of Wang Jian. Before that, it was still flourishing.
"It's a good idea, but don't rush it." Wang Jian smiled and shook his head.
Since you want your grandson to have a friend who will help you in the future, you can't use your power to overwhelm others.
Zhao Si has a bright future, and Jian is in the heart of the emperor. In fact, he does not need help from the Wang family. Of course, the Wang family also does not want anything from Zhao Si.
Accompanied by Wang Xing, he walked around the house several times before walking inside.
Even Wang Jian himself didn't notice that his legs and feet were no longer so stiff and the pain had been greatly reduced. He just felt physically and mentally comfortable and in a good mood. Lying in bed, he should have been tossing and turning in pain in the past, but today he didn't have to for a moment. , and fell into a deep sleep.
In the palace, the hard-working First Emperor was still handling government affairs.
Under the light, the pile of memorials on the table was almost as high as the Emperor Shi Huang who was kneeling down.
In recent days, there has been a visible increase in memorials in various places. The most obvious thing is that bandits and bandits in various places have doubled in number.
This is nothing new, it used to be a traditional performing arts in the Guanzhong area.
Qin's laws are strict and it is difficult to serve the people. If you are not careful, you will become a gangster.
The continuous sitting method, the performance method, humiliating the people, exhausting the people, the division of twenty-level titles, and the privileges of titles at all levels, are essentially using all means to force the common people to have nowhere to go but to die in pursuit of military exploits.
The people of Qin are good at fighting and brave in public fights. The essential reason is that without military merit, it is too unstable to be a farmer.
Either up or down, there are too many oppressions on the peasants without titles.
Not everyone is willing to become a gangster. It is not uncommon to take a family to the mountains and become a bandit. Shang Yang's reform is a strong medicine. Although the Qin Dynasty rose because of it, it also breeds diseases.
Shang Jun's law is the strictest, because he wants to achieve the fastest results.
In the following dynasties, the Qin kings, while maintaining the basic foundation of Shang Jun's law, relaxed or tightened it because their needs were different. If you fight more, you will be tight; if you fight less, you will be loose.
The First Emperor understood all this, so he had relaxed a large part of the restrictions.
The dispute between Confucianism and Legalism is essentially a dispute between hundreds of schools of thought and Legalism. Everyone is familiar with the hidden dangers of Shang Yang's method, so naturally they will seize it and beat the loser.
Li Si was able to win when he was single and weak, and it was impossible to fight with Shang Junshu in his arms.
In fact, Qin law has undergone great changes after the unification of the First Emperor. Most of the punishments for mutilation have been removed. Even the scope of sitting law has gradually narrowed, and corvee has also been changed from the original execution of not all to fines and penalties depending on the situation.
The old Qin people in Guanzhong are used to it, but the world is not used to it. With the implementation of the Qin Law, bandits began to breed in various places, and there were many affairs.
It's a simple question. I'm going to die and my family will be affected. I might as well run away with my family. At least there will be a glimmer of hope.
What the First Emperor needed to do was to make decisions about tightening or relaxing policies based on the memorials reflected in various places and the actual situation in various places. Through micro-management, he could keep the empire's fundamentals alive and prevent them from falling apart.
"How about the salt-drying method?" The First Emperor looked at Meng Yi.
"It's done! Now the salt fields have been opened in Qidi..." Meng Yi said.
"Send 30,000 ministers and recruit 50,000 civilians in the local area. Within a year, the official salt will be completely replaced." The First Emperor knocked on the case and spoke softly.
"Also, give these folds to Li Si."
The flame brought about by the system in Da Qin has never been extinguished, but the size of this flame is still under control.
If water is added and the fire is small, the fire will not be strong enough. When the water dries up, the fire will become unstoppable.
War, land granting, and knighthood all involve adding water.
Relaxing taxes and relaxing cool laws is also adding water.
The sharp drop in salt prices is also due to the addition of water, and the new high-yielding crops are also due to the addition of water.
Conscripting people into corvee service is just adding fuel to the fire.
It can't be too tight, nor can it be loose. Of course, the current situation is that fires have started in various places due to the implementation of the Qin Law. It is a stupid way to put out the fire wherever it is. Li Si, the left prime minister, is now in charge of the revision and implementation of the Qin Law. He is mainly responsible for the increase in bandits in various places. .
Of course, everything is still under control, and it can even be said to be insignificant to the First Emperor. After all, every qualified King of Qin must be a master of micro-management.
It is far from being out of balance now.
The First Emperor just threw it over to Li Si and asked Li Si to continue practicing.
The First Emperor had enough means to balance the situation, but there was no need to deal with the aftermath for Li Si.
A large number of memorials were taken away by the attendants, and most of the First Emperor's case was cleared in a matter of seconds. There were many memorials that the First Emperor only reviewed to understand the situation, but did not deal with them. After Li Si dealt with them, the First Emperor had to read them again before issuing them.
After looking up at the sky and the remaining half of the memorial on the table, the First Emperor yawned and thought for a moment before pouring out a "golden elixir".
A golden elixir swallowed into the belly...
The First Emperor's energy doubled, and his fatigue visibly subsided.
If you don't take some medicine, you won't be able to do what you want.
This is probably a common problem among most middle-aged men.
