"But...but don't give excessive rewards." The First Emperor nodded.
A noble title, three nobility titles, and some trivial titles are not a big deal.
Of course, this kind of thing actually challenges the Qin law system. In essence, the system does not allow such high-level rewards to be given to craftsmen, but if the First Emperor specifically allows it, then it will not be a big problem.
Of course, if it were anyone else, the First Emperor might have to think carefully to avoid anyone trying to exploit this matter.
But if it was Zhao Si, the First Emperor would have no worries.
First of all, the First Emperor's closeness to Zhao Si was obvious. These titles didn't add up to much, so he just gave them to him.
Secondly, it was because Zhao Si came from a clean background and went to sea when he was young. He had not been back to Qin for a long time and had no so-called cronies. The First Emperor believed that Zhao Si was prepared to use these titles to do business rather than fight for politics.
After long-term contact, the First Emperor discovered that Zhao Si may have a shallow foundation, but the advantage is that he has a lot of room for improvement, his progress is fast, and he always has some amazing and wonderful ideas in his mind.
The First Emperor had the idea of cultivating Zhao Si, so how could he be unwilling to give Zhao Si a chance to try?
He knew that this boy Zhao Si was not interested in papermaking and printing. This boy must have other ideas, otherwise he would not be thinking of getting a special title for himself.
The First Emperor was also willing to see if Zhao Si's new ideas would bring him some surprises.
So far, there has been nothing bad about Zhao Si after Zhao Si's return... Such metaphysical matters will also affect the First Emperor's judgment to a certain extent.
Maybe this kid is destined to be my humerus and the pillar of Da Qin.
"In that case, I would like to thank your Majesty!" Zhao Si bowed happily.
This kind of thing is of great significance. Of course, Zhao Si has not forgotten his own business. These things are just to make things happen, and recuperating the body of the First Emperor is the business.
He must seize every minute and every second of the opportunity to get along with the First Emperor, and at the same time strive for the opportunity to have close contact with the First Emperor.
It would be great if I could sneak into the First Emperor's motorcade, and it would be even better if I could accompany the First Emperor every day, although I was slightly resistant to the rather passionate way of making friends in this era.
But if it was the First Emperor...
It’s not a bad idea to sleep with enough energy!
To put it another way, no matter how miserable the people in the world are now, the population will always be there. In the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty, the population has been reduced by nearly half. The three major real estate and horse households in Yan, Zhao and Qin have more than a million horses in total. By the time of Liu Bang, they Not even a few white horses can come together.
The Xiongnu, who is now a stinking younger brother, gained some breathing space with the chaos of the late Qin Dynasty. They took advantage of the Central Plains when they were unable to go north to destroy the grassland unified by the Yueshi of Donghu. Then they took the opportunity to go south. The siege of Baideng became a shame for the rest of Liu Bang's life in the Han Dynasty. .
The land of Baiyue also cut off contact and cut off the Central Plains.
Hetao was reoccupied by the Xiongnu, and South Vietnam proclaimed itself king... Too many regrets.
If the First Emperor had not died, basically none of these things would have happened.
The First Emperor knew micromanagement. He was able to keep the empire on the verge of collapse or non-collapse, keeping the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in the Schrödinger state of rebellion and non-rebellion. He was able to suppress contradictions and allow decrees to pass...
Once the First Emperor died, everything fell into chaos.
Zhao Si began to think about what excuse he could use to go back to the palace. Papermaking and printing were free, and he came to the palace to report on the progress? It’s not impossible.
Is there any way to sneak into the First Emperor's patrol team to avoid the Dune Coup? If you really can't do it, just ask the First Emperor for it shamelessly... Although it's a bit rude, it's still a good idea.
The First Emperor, who was leaning on the recliner, didn't care about this. He was thinking about what Zhao Si wanted to do with the title.
He didn't ask Zhao Si to tell everything... he just gave Zhao Si enough space.
Papermaking and printing... After thinking about it, the First Emperor's thoughts returned to the issue of poor nobles and nobles mentioned by Zhao Si.
Don't be in a hurry... This kind of thing that touches the core rights and interests of the nobility cannot be done now, and it cannot be done by Zhao Si. Zhao Si does not have the ability to withstand the pressure, nor the ability to implement it.
If you can't do this kind of thing well, it will kill someone!
The reason why nobles are nobles is because they have the right to interpret policies and channels for advancement, and it just so happens that these two things are also in the future plans of the First Emperor.
The six kingdoms have all been destroyed. How can the nobles of the six kingdoms master these things?
As he thought about it, the First Emperor felt exhausted... Before even giving the First Emperor much time to react, the First Emperor fell into a drowsy sleep.
Originally, I had been tossing and turning for a long time without falling asleep, and I was mentally exhausted. After Zhao Si came, it was like a highly effective sleeping pill with no sequelae.
In an instant, sleep is obtained.
In fact, even though he quit the golden elixir, the heavy metal toxins accumulated in a large amount could not be metabolized normally by the Emperor's body, which was already on the verge of reaching its limit.
No supplements or medicines were used. The First Emperor's body was already at the end of its strength. Zhao Si's raw jade halo was the key to breaking the balance, allowing the First Emperor's body to barely repair, both mentally and physically.
"Hmm... Asleep?" Zhao Si, who was still thinking about how to find a chance to stay by the side of the First Emperor, found that the First Emperor had fallen asleep.
According to common sense, Zhao Si's matter has been finished. At this time, the ministers should politely withdraw.
But Zhao Si doesn't follow common sense.
I just got off the boat not long ago. It's normal that I don't understand this unspoken rule.
I am a barbarian!
Anyway, the First Emperor didn't drive him away before going to bed. Zhao Si simply continued to squat here. Every second the raw jade halo was used was a treatment for the First Emperor's body.
At the very least, Zhao Si had to let the First Emperor survive the fatal disaster of the Dune Coup before Zhao Si could completely relax.
…
On the other side, Xia Wuji in the imperial hospital frowned. On the table were medical books that had been read countless times.
"That's weird! That's weird!"
Xia Wuji had a sad look on his face. In the past few days, the First Emperor had stopped using the golden elixir and was taking it regularly according to Xia Wuji's dietary supplements.
According to common sense, in this case, the Emperor's health should have improved. Even if it was not obvious enough in two or three days because the time was too short, it should still be shown on the pulse.
But this is not the case...
According to the feedback from the First Emperor, his appetite was still lacking, and even his mental state was lackluster. Without the golden elixir, he could not survive a day of intense review of government affairs.
This kind of situation is not unheard of in Xia. After stopping using certain things, it will cause short-term deterioration of the body. But in fact, the body is changing in a good direction, but it is a little difficult to adapt for a while.
But the problem is that the Emperor's pulse condition...hasn't gotten any better.
Not only that... after he stopped taking the golden elixir and started taking supplements through food and medicine, the First Emperor's pulse showed signs of further disorder.
You must know that the current body of the First Emperor is like a gunpowder jar. Even a slight deterioration may ignite and then get out of control.
This strange situation made Xia Wuqie question everything he had learned in his life.
"What exactly is missing?"
Obviously, the pulse condition of the First Emperor had improved before...
ps: quit golden elixir, take medicine, take dietary supplements, minus 1. Only by adding the aura of raw jade can you achieve positive results. It is not the effect of a single raw jade halo. But without the aura of raw jade, conventional treatments can no longer work. (No more today, I didn’t ask for leave, which is very annoying.)
