In the next two days, Zhao Si began to be deeply involved in the First Emperor's diet, medical treatment, and exercise.
As for the diet, meat is the mainstay, grain is the supplement, and more vegetables and protein are added. Zhao Si simply took over the job of the cook and specially prepared three weight-loss meals a day for the First Emperor.
Because the First Emperor specifically asked Zhao Si to eat with him in the palace, he also directly omitted the step of testing the poison. Zhao Si had to eat it first anyway.
Zhao Si's skills in making weight-loss meals are still there. Although the raw materials in this era are somewhat single and the condiments are relatively scarce, Zhao Si still cannot be troubled.
Regarding the physical aspect, an exercise plan was set for half an hour in the morning and evening, for a total of two hours of exercise a day.
The First Emperor's body was already at the end of its strength, and toxins were accumulated in the body. Therefore, the exercise time should not be too long, and the amount of exercise should not be too large. Priority should be given to losing weight while providing counseling and exercise to avoid abnormal reactions in the body caused by significant weight loss.
In the palace, Zhao Si and the First Emperor were jogging under the rising sun.
Zhao Si didn't care. He was in great health, but the First Emperor was sweating profusely. It was obvious that the First Emperor was too old, overweight, and had too large lung capacity. The side effects caused by long-term use of golden elixirs made the First Emperor even facing low-intensity exercise. It’s also overwhelming.
The First Emperor was in front, and Zhao Si was half a step behind, following the First Emperor. While running with him, he helped the First Emperor adjust his breathing and rhythm. At the same time, he always paid attention to the immediate situation of the First Emperor. If he found that the First Emperor was overdrawn, he should immediately change from running to walking and slow down the pace. .
The First Emperor was a very strong person at heart.
For the First Emperor, overdrafting the body was the norm.
However, exercising does not happen overnight, and overdrafting the body cannot achieve the effect of exercise. The essence of fitness is to tap the body's mobilizable resources, rather than forcibly overdrafting the body. Forcibly overdrafting the body by relying on willpower is counterproductive, so Zhao Si's role is crucial Importantly, he is the one who leads and controls the overall rhythm.
Fortunately, Zhao Si and Xia Wuqi exchanged a lot of experiences. Zhao Si had a better understanding of the body of the First Emperor and knew the limits of what the First Emperor could endure.
After jogging for about half an hour, he did not stop immediately. Instead, he guided the First Emperor to change from running to walking, from fast to slow walking. This continued until the Emperor's breathing returned to normal, and then he performed a series of stretching and warm-up exercises. After that, the morning exercise is considered over.
After that, Zhao Si went to prepare breakfast for the First Emperor without stopping.
Boil chicken, boiled vegetables, and add half a bowl of meat soup.
Carbohydrates, vegetables and protein are all needed, and all three are indispensable.
After having breakfast, he assisted the First Emperor in his work.
Zhao Si was responsible for carrying out his own seed allocation plan, while the First Emperor handled government affairs and occasionally asked Zhao Si to look for some information and memorials for verification.
"Find last year's memorial from Kuaiji County." The First Emperor knelt down in front of the desk and frowned.
…
Time passed bit by bit. Every two moments when the First Emperor was at work, Zhao Si would remind the First Emperor to get up and do some auxiliary activities, stretching his shoulders, neck, and spine, relaxing the leg muscles that were compressed by kneeling and sitting, and at the same time looking at the scenery to give his eyes some rest. of relaxation time.
Kneeling is a very bad posture, especially for the First Emperor, who was in extremely poor physical condition.
The morning passed quickly, and Zhao Si went to prepare lunch for the First Emperor.
I added an extra portion of wheat rice to my lunch, which is a bit coarser and not that good in texture. It's a bit sticky on my throat, but as long as I can eat it, it's better than white flour.
The rest of the meals are mainly vegetables and beef, with wheat rice accounting for about one-third.
Lunch tastes better than breakfast because there are relatively more condiments in lunch, and the beef is fried and a little oily.
After Zhao Si ate it with the First Emperor with a grimace, it was still a relaxing nap session.
The First Emperor was sleeping on the rocking chair, and Zhao Si was sleeping on the desk.
It's not that Zhao Si was daring, it was just that it had been like this for the past two days. Every time the First Emperor took a nap, Zhao Si couldn't resist dozing off. Unless he got up to do a military style boxing, he would sit there and fall asleep.
Fortunately, the First Emperor did not delve into this point. After two days, he tacitly allowed Zhao Si to take a nap with him.
Zhao Si was the one who woke up earlier this time. It was really torture to sleep while kneeling and lying on the table. After waking up, stretching his body felt like his muscles and bones were in full swing.
All the bones in his body were ringing, and his calves were a little swollen from the pressure. Seeing that the First Emperor was still awake, Zhao Si stood up and moved his body, relaxed his compressed calves, and wiped the sweat from his face.
The hot summer arrived quietly, and Zhao Si turned his eyes to Zhao Gao, who was quietly waiting outside the door.
The strange thing is that after Zhao Si replaced most of Zhao Gao's powers, Zhao Gao was still very cooperative with Zhao Si, almost to the point of responding to requests, but without appearing to be flattering.
As the saying goes, if you don't hit someone with a smiling face, Zhao Si can only keep a smile on his face and be content with Zhao Gaoxu.
Especially when he knew the true course of history, the feeling of inadequacy was even worse. Zhao Gao was by no means a gentleman... Zhao Si could only secretly remind himself that Zhao Gao got along with others, even if his interests and rights were truly violated. It can make people feel like spring breeze at all times. It is conceivable that there are few good people who leave their name in history.
At the very least, Zhao Si couldn't do this.
Passing Zhao Gao, he raised his eyes and glanced at the scorching sun. The noisy cicadas chirped almost day and night. The sweat on his forehead was wiped and flowed. He turned his head and glanced at the ice mirror in the room. It was still giving off cool air, but even if In this way, the First Emperor's hair next to Bingjian was still wet with sweat.
There was no way around the problem of clothes. You couldn't wear short-sleeved T-shirts in this era, and the cool air emitted by Bingjian was relatively limited. It was midday, the hottest time of the day. Zhao Si saw that the First Emperor's brows were already in his sleep. Unconsciously, he thought for a moment and slowly knelt down beside Bingjian. He held a cattail leaf fan in his hand and slowly fanned the cool air of Bingjian to provide cooling for the First Emperor.
The First Emperor didn't like having anyone near him when he was sleeping, so Zhao Si took over this position for a short time. When the First Emperor woke up to handle government affairs, a palace maid would take over.
The cattail leaf fan is fanned, and a slight cool air slowly blows...
The First Emperor's brows slowly sank and became flat, no longer raised. The sweat between his temples gradually dried up and cooled, and his breathing became steady.
Zhao Si was shaking the fan with one hand and dozing off with his chin propped up on the other hand. When he had nothing to do, he took a quick look at the First Emperor while he was sleeping to enjoy himself.
After about half an hour, the Emperor's eyelids moved slightly. Seeing this, Zhao Si immediately straightened his back and straightened his posture, holding the cattail leaf fan in both hands, showing a fully serious attitude.
The First Emperor opened his eyes slightly, but he didn't feel the heat that he had just woken up. He could even feel the cool breeze coming, and his brows frowned subconsciously.
The First Emperor always liked to be alone when sleeping. This was the habit of the First Emperor. Zhao Si was the only exception. He just took a quick look and saw Zhao Si swinging a cattail leaf fan on one side. The First Emperor narrowed his eyes and leaned back on the recliner. Close your eyes.
Although he was full of energy after just waking up, he was still a bit tired. After leaning on the recliner for a while, the First Emperor stood up from the recliner, waved his hands and said, "No need to shake!"
Hearing this, Zhao Si put down the cattail leaf fan, bowed and retreated to his seat, knelt down, and began to deal with the problem of seed allocation in a sensible manner. He had already dealt with it in the morning, and now it was time to verify and inspect to see if there were any mistakes.
After realizing that the First Emperor had woken up and there was no need for the First Emperor to order hospitality, Zhao Gao had already summoned the waiting maids inside.
The well-trained palace maid fell silently without making any movement. She stood silently behind the ice mirror and swayed her cattail leaf fan dutifully.
There was no air conditioning in ancient times, but there was artificial air conditioning...
It's a pity that the wind is not facing him, and Zhao Si is still sweating.
"Your Majesty, I have sorted out the grain distribution in various places. Please take a look at it." After checking it several times, Zhao Si felt that there was nothing wrong and handed the prepared plan to the First Emperor.
The First Emperor took several scrolls of bamboo slips, and the first thing he saw was Zhao Si's unsightly handwriting...
Fortunately, the First Emperor was used to it. After ignoring the ugly handwriting, the First Emperor looked at it carefully.
The distribution of grain types in various places and the reasons for the distribution are clearly written.
Although there were still some flaws that Zhao Si could not detect, it did not matter. Zhao Si had already saved the First Emperor half of his efforts by relying on previous memorials from various places to achieve this level.
As for the handwriting, you can ignore it. The distribution of grains was ordered by the First Emperor himself. It needs to be rewritten and the details need to be replenished. But it doesn’t take much time. After all, Zhao Si has already done the basic work. It takes half an hour at most. , you can stamp the grain and send it to the place in batches through the post station.
"Not bad!" The First Emperor smiled and put aside Zhao Si's work results of several days.
"Look at these..." The First Emperor pushed a pile of bamboo slips to Zhao Si.
"If you don't understand, then look for memorials from previous years in Kuaiji."
What the First Emperor pushed over were the memorials and tax reports from Kuaiji County for the previous year that Zhao Si had asked him to find in the morning.
Zhao Si didn't know what was going on, so he calmly watched.
"There's nothing wrong with it... The political performance is above average, and the taxation situation is also good." Zhao Si looked at it and saw that it was quite satisfactory, and he couldn't find too many faults. Most of the memorial reports were concise, and the data was clear and orderly, without any ambiguity.
However, the First Emperor must have had deep meaning in letting him see it. Zhao Si thought about it and found memorials from Kuaiji County in previous years.
"It's no problem... County Governor Yin Tong, a native of Qi, was born as a Langguan. He was sent down from the Langzhong Order, and his resume is also very clean..." Zhao Si rubbed his eyebrows.
Zhao Si had no choice but to continue searching a few years ago...
But overall, there are no problems with the reports from Kuaiji County. They are quite satisfactory. Bandits have been caught, the population has increased, grain production has steadily increased, and taxes have been paid on time...
The political performance should be relatively good. There are petty thieves but no major chaos. Generally speaking, Zhao Si can still give a good evaluation.
"So, what's the problem?"
Zhao Si was full of doubts.
(besides)
Oil, salt, carbohydrates, protein, and sugar must all be taken in. Just because you lose weight cannot be regarded as a tiger or a wolf.
