Zhao Si was not in a hurry to go to Yu's house to meet Yu Ji.

Instead, he sat quietly in front of the desk and wrote a letter to Han Xin.

Han Xin had Zhao Si as his backing, and when he went to Longxi, he became a general with thousands of people. He had a very high starting point, and with Zhao Si as his backing, his future was bright.

However, Han Xin has not yet made any achievements.

The Xiongnu and the Qin were still in their honeymoon period. The Donghu and Yueshi were afraid of the alliance between the Qin and the Xiongnu, and did not dare to send their troops south. Qin was still able to defeat the Xiongnu's pressure, and the northern border was still at peace for a short time.

Han Xin is currently staying in Longxi to train troops honestly.

Although the war has stopped, the confrontation between countries has never stopped. It has just changed from sword diplomacy to negotiation table diplomacy.

This gave Li Shiqi, who became a Dian Keguan, room to display his talents. Although Li Shiqi was a Confucian scholar, he was quite a political strategist. After becoming a Dian Keguan, no one deliberately suppressed him because of Zhao Si's backing. , it didn’t take long for him to start to rise to prominence.

Now Li Shiqi's title has been upgraded to five levels in a row. Currently, Li Shiqi is leading the signing of the mutual trade regulations with the Xiongnu, and he is now able to take charge of a large matter alone.

Thanks to Zhang Cang, the HR manager and external brain, the communication between Zhao Si, Han Xin and Li Shiqi has never been cut off. Letters are exchanged almost every month. Sometimes Zhao Si writes the letters himself, and sometimes It was Zhang Cang who wrote for Zhao Si. Han Xin and Li Shiqi basically reported their own situation to Zhao Si every month and sent their most sincere greetings to Zhao Si.

Neither Han Xin nor Li Shiqi are alone. There are always some relatives. Zhang Cang is responsible for all these minutiae matters. No matter who looks at it, there is no fault in it. There is no need to worry about the affairs behind his death, and Zhao Cang is there. With this big backstage, Han Xin and Li Shiqi only need to show their talents to the fullest.

"It's a good thing to calm down for a while..." Zhao Si shook his head.

If a general wants to be promoted, he must have war and meritorious service, but now that the war in northern Xinjiang has subsided, Han Xin has to wait honestly even if he has the ability of millions of generals.

It was a waste of time for Han Xin, but it was a very good thing for Da Qin.

However, the characteristics of the nomadic people are there. It is normal to focus on eating rather than fighting. It will not work if we do not invade south. The ecological limitations are too big. War will break out sooner or later, and Han Xin will stand out sooner or later.

Zhao Si made up his mind and wrote to Han Xin, emphasizing that Han Xin must make the best use of everything and be optimistic about Xiang Yu.

Ugly handwriting like a dog crawling covered the paper. Zhao Si admired his slightly improved cursive handwriting with satisfaction and then added a naughty suggestion to Han Xin at the end of the letter.

Xiang Yu is strong and tall, and he can be called a halberd wielder!

Historically, Han Xin served as Xiang Yu's halberd bearer. This was just to show off Han Xin's extraordinary appearance. Now that Xiang Yu has been reduced to a slave and thrown directly into the hands of Han Xin in Longxi, he can serve as Han Xin's halberd bearer once in his life. Lang.

"If Xiang Yu is compared to a tiger, only Han Xin in the world is qualified to be this tiger trainer!" Zhao Si sighed with emotion.

Putting aside Han Xin's political acumen, with his ability to run the army, Xiang Yu would never expect to make any waves under Han Xin in his life.

Han Xin + Xiang Yu!

The peak of military situation and the peak of military strategy are combined in two.

The Xiongnu, Yuezhi, and Donghu will probably suffer the consequences.

It's just the honeymoon period now. When Donghu Yuezhi loses his patience and tries to take a bite, he will realize what kind of monster he has provoked.

The letter was delivered by Zhao Si to the soldiers for delivery...

The largest reactionary force in Kuaiji was nipped in the bud by Zhao Si.

The rest were naturally to liquidate the Wuzhong nobles who had colluded with Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County.

In the next few days, with Li Si as the main leader and Dunwei as the supplement, an emergency arrest operation began in the Wuzhong area.

The first is Yin Tong!

As the most central figure in the incident, Yin Tong himself was punished with the torture of being torn apart by a car and the execution of his clan.

Zhao Si enthusiastically suggested that Li Si go to watch it together. In the end, for some unknown reason, Li Si chose to refuse. Li Si didn’t go, and Zhao Si naturally didn’t go either. For some reason, it was Yin Tong who broke the car, and Zhao Si always felt that he The limbs feel cool.

After Yin Tong accepted his punishment, it was the time when the prominent families in Wuzhong began to throw out chips to appease the First Emperor's anger.

A county guard in Kuaiji took the initiative to cause trouble. How many of the nobles in Wuzhong area are clean?

Not to mention the intention to rebel, but all the surnames were full of shit. At this time, the First Emperor's mercy towards the Xiang family came into play.

Xiang Liang, as the number two figure in this incident, simply committed suicide.

Xiang Ji was demoted as a slave.

The First Emperor even allowed the Xiang family to collect Xiang Liang's body for burial.

Everyone is no longer so panicked. At least they won't be in trouble tonight.

No matter how gorgeous the slogan of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang is, it still has a major premise.

If you die now, you will die, if you do great things, you will die...

That's why the head of Guizhou followed Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in rebellion. Why not just make trouble if he couldn't find a way to survive?

Who would be willing to be as stupid as the Xiang family and commit treason unswervingly if there is a way to survive? It's okay to shout slogans, but are you really serious about training your own private soldiers?

The First Emperor is not dead yet...

Both the uncles and nephews of the Xiang family made such a big mistake, and the First Emperor did not express his anger too much. Although the famous family in Wuzhong did not have many good things, to be fair, it was still much better than the Xiang family. They also evaded taxes and forced purchases of fish and meat from the village. It's just forced selling and selling some contraband.

If the Xiang family is not destroyed, they will not be destroyed.

Who would flip the table stupidly if there was a way to survive? Or flipping the table over in a certain death situation?

When it comes to weakness, those with vested interests are even weaker than the proletarians.

The current situation was to stand at attention and be beaten, and the noble family in Wuzhong could only cut their flesh with a painful look on their faces to appease the First Emperor's anger.

Those who should pay fines should pay fines, those who should pay taxes should pay taxes, those who should inspect fields should be inspected, those who should be beheaded should be beheaded, and those who should be demoted to slaves should be demoted to slaves.

After all, the family is a big business, so even if some people were killed and demoted as slaves, it would not affect the family's operations, but life would definitely not be as easy as before.

The nobles would misinterpret Qin law or use their power to make the people show off their cards, pay taxes, and hide their property. These are all basic operations.

The taxation of Qin State has been restored, but if you really want to say that you can't survive, it's because the local grassroots execution is not strong enough. It was originally 50%, but due to various reasons it became 70%, 80%, 89%.

Each county has a quota for the taxes it pays to the central government. Mr. Huang certainly does not want this quota to fall on him. In the end, he can only suffer the people and let the First Emperor take the blame.

Now that it has been found out, all the debts owed before must be made up, but the quotas that have been borne by the people over the years will certainly not be refunded.

Zhao Si felt a little bit inflamed, but he held it back after careful consideration.

After all... I got scolded...

And Zhao Si couldn't tell whether this kind of thing was good or bad, and the head of Guizhou really didn't necessarily appreciate it.

His childish emotions come from empathy, but as his status changes and he thinks more and more, this ability to empathize can only be maintained within Zhao Si's moral scope.

In short, this wave can be described as Qin Shihuang touching the switch - winning!

The tax quotas over the years have not been reduced, and the arrears collected now are all in vain, not to mention the property and fields of the prominent Wuzhong family that were confiscated because of this incident.

The entire political environment in Kuaiji will inevitably be shaken up and down due to this suppression, and it can last for at least half a year to a year.

The growth of evil also takes time, and the centripetal force in Kuaiji will increase as a result, and the reactionary forces in Kuaiji will also suffer a huge blow.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the Yu family... is not passive for the time being.

This was something Li Si and Dun Ruo tacitly agreed to, and it was also something the First Emperor tacitly approved of. Zhao Si would be a fool if he couldn't understand it anymore.

The reason why the Yu family has not been dealt with until now is just waiting for me to express my opinion. Maybe it's because I paid more attention to Meiren Yu?

But for Li Si and Dun Ruo, two veterans of officialdom, this was habitual behavior.

After all, Zhao Si was a close official of the First Emperor. How should we say this?

You act in accordance with the laws and regulations. If Zhao Si is really interested and can be ruthless enough to plead for mercy, the First Emperor will soften his heart... He should be let go or he should be let go.

There is no way, this is the limitation of Legalism, the law cannot overcome the will of the king, and the laws of Da Qin are to serve the king.

So why bother asking for trouble in this case? Li Si felt that even if he was reasonable and spoke righteously, he would probably not be able to resist Zhao Si's murmur.

It’s better to suppress the Yu family’s matters for now and wait for Zhao Si’s opinion.

"Unknowingly, I ended up living like a sycophant... This was really not my intention." Zhao Si looked at Li Si in front of him and sighed.

"What I said along the way is just a joke on my part. There are hundreds of maids in my house, and all of them are pretty and lovely. Li Xiang, you know me. I am not the kind of person who violates my principles just because of my beauty. . Please also ask Li Xiang to handle the case in accordance with the law." Zhao Si bowed to Li Si and spoke.

Li Si was unmoved...

As you said, there are hundreds of maids in your family.

And you said you're not pretty?

"I have dealt with a lot of people recently. Speaking of which, it is difficult to say what the Yu family is like, but the name of the poppy poppy is probably not a simple bragging, but something recognized by the entire Wuzhong land." Li Si did not answer Zhao Si directly, but He said with a smile.

He has been very busy these days. Li Si has taken over a large number of affairs and managed countless noble families. In his spare time, he also got to know the name of Poppy.

Objectively speaking, everyone who has heard about it has recognized this fact. There must be elements of artificial momentum, but it is probably unique in being so recognized.

"I told you...I'm not a womanizer..." Zhao Si smiled and waved his hand.

"Besides, how can a woman be so beautiful no matter how beautiful she is? How can I be the one who wastes my official duties just for personal affairs?" Zhao Si sighed.

"If that's the case, you might as well go to the Yu family and take a look. I'm not in a hurry, but the Yu family may be frightened during this time..."

Li Si smiled.

Female lust...

The best knowledge Li Si has learned in all his years as an official is only one thing.

That is to say, after stripping away all external conditions, people are still people after all, and they are only people.

It was not uncommon for Li Si to make strange noises due to various weird things and hobbies.

After peeling off the skin of a political creature, it is still just a few pounds of white meat.
