"Let's bring the eldest father back..."
Zhao Si said while greeting Ji Cheng.
He didn't have many complaints in his heart, and he didn't have much thought to worry about it anymore. There were still many things he had to do next.
The grand tour of the world has ended, it is time to rest, and the court meeting will be held in a few days.
Recommendations are required for the appointments of his subordinates, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be promoted.
The aviation and trade military government must be finalized in the court, the scientific research institute must also be finalized in the court, the reduction of corvees and taxes must be done, and then comes the highlight of this return to Xianyang, the move to your order!
At present, Zhao Si can only achieve superficial harmony in matters at home, and at least it is no longer a matter of public opinion. Next, Daqin will experience a real great change, which is something Zhao Si will be busy with for a long time to come.
Ji Cheng seemed to have held back a lot of words and wanted to talk about it. From being cautious at the beginning to being wild and unrestrained later on, the seven-foot man would cry and laugh at times.
Zhao Si could feel that Ji Cheng was taking care of his feelings very sensitively, as if he was afraid that his brother, who had just returned, would run away again.
During a banquet, Ji Cheng was drunk and in a mess...
When leaving, Zhao Si looked back at Ji Cheng, who was already drunk and unconscious but still struggling to see him off. He was silent for a long time.
Putting aside everything else, Ji Cheng's feelings for the original person are sincere, but family love is a bit far away from Zhao Si after all.
As a two-generation orphan, Zhao Si has no family ties to speak of, and he has not needed to rely on family ties for a long time. His heart is far harder to shake than normal people.
The only person Zhao Si could regard as a relative or elder was, for now, probably only the First Emperor.
Squeezing the red envelope sent by the First Emperor in his hand, Zhao Si drove towards his house with a smile on his face.
Drunk driving, but it doesn't matter, Ma didn't drink.
It's dark when I get home...
The house was completely silent, with only Fan Kuai guarding the door for him. After a few brief greetings, Zhao Si entered.
Amber yawned and moved her position to Zhao Si. Zhao Si turned a blind eye and walked to the bed to hug Keren, who was already asleep.
Except for Zhao Si, most of the people were new here, but no one had trouble sleeping because of this.
The next day, Zhao Si got up early as soon as it got light. After a moment of tenderness with Yu Miaoge and a while of rubbing amber, Zhao Si was ready to summon the guests who were currently following him for a team building in his mansion.
Now the grand tour of the world has ended and he has returned to Xianyang.
In the future, various government affairs will be carried out, and Zhao Si's retainers will have a place to play. However, Zhao Si still has to listen to Zhang Cang's opinions when appointing personnel.
As per the old rules, Zhang Cang made the plan, and Zhao Si took the big list to find the important officials of the First Emperor.
The people had just been gathered together, and after enjoying the first breakfast back in Xianyang, Zhao Si cleared his throat and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the official who came to Tongbing.
"Master, Prime Minister Li Si has paid a visit and is waiting in the courtyard."
Hearing this, Zhang Cang's fat and white face showed a knowing smile. Zhao Si also put down his chopsticks, straightened his clothes and stood up: "Please come into the main hall!"
"Sir, please take a moment..." Zhao Si finished his meal halfway and said goodbye to Zhang Cang and others before going to contact Li Si.
After waiting for a moment in the main room, Li Si was already walking inside with a smooth and flowing goatee on his chin.
"Zhao Siche..."
Li Si touched his goatee and said hello with a smile on his face, and sat down on his knees in front of the table without showing any signs of surprise.
"Li Xiang got up quite early." Zhao Si smiled, then knelt down and ordered his ministers to prepare buttermilk snacks and drinks.
"I woke up after three or four hours of sleep. I'm no younger than you." Li Si waved his hand.
"There will be a court meeting tomorrow. I'm busy with things, but I came here today to discuss something with you." Li Si said a few words and got straight to the point.
Zhao Si nodded and signaled Li Si to speak.
"The transfer order, the settlement, the complaint is waiting for implementation... You should also know these things. If it falls on me, you don't have to worry." Li Si knocked on the table.
Zhao Si nodded. Ever since Zhang Cang analyzed it for him, Zhao Si knew that the important task of dismembering the body must be Li Si's destination and not himself.
It was Li Si who charged into the battle, and Zhao Si could only throw his retainers into this big storm to get a taste of it.
As for Zhao Si, even if Zhao Si wanted to join the First Emperor, he would probably not be allowed to do so.
"Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister Li, in serving the country." Zhao Si sighed with emotion.
"There is no need to say these words again. I didn't come here specifically to praise you. The move to your home is a great strategy. Although the Xiang family and the Yu family are willing to cooperate, it is not enough.
I intend to recommend Marquis Che to be the Grand Lieutenant in charge of the military affairs of the world. "Li Si frowned.
There was only one Chehou in Da Qin, and that was Wang Jian.
"Chehou is getting old and may not be able to continue..." Zhao Si said in a deep voice.
"There is no need for the old general to do things. Among the three princes, let alone the imperial censor. He has no real power. The position of Taiwei must be one of his own. Even if he is not one of his own, he must promise not to interfere. I can think of someone who is qualified. The only people with seniority and high positions who could not influence government orders were old generals.
In addition, there are some personnel matters that I need to re-recommend for transfer. There are too many people involved, so you have to second my proposal, otherwise it will be difficult. "Li Si said.
Zhao Si nodded but did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked: "What happens next?"
"After that, I will recommend you to be your superior, oversee maritime affairs and fortifications, and establish a shipping, trade, military and craftsmanship bureau. You will be in charge of these two tasks.
You don't need to agree with me on matters that offend others, such as demotion or transfer, but you have to stand with me on other matters in order to pursue national affairs. "Li Si said straightforwardly.
Real bosses often act tacitly.
But Zhao Si is not good at it. There is no difference between playing fancy tricks with him and ogling a cow. You can only get straight to the point and speak clearly.
Zhao Si nodded and continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"
"Reduce corvee and tax!"
Li Si spoke in a deep voice!
"You have to do this! In the civil and military dynasties, you are the only one who can promote the reduction of corvees and taxes."
"Li Xiangtai praised me..."
Zhao Sixian smiled and said that he already knew. After Li Si finished speaking, he didn't stay much longer. It seemed that things were really busy, so he left to mind his own business.
Zhao Si knew that Li Si wanted to reach a unified front with him.
This is a matter of course, and there is no need to avoid suspicion for this kind of thing. They are not cliques, they just remain consistent on such a big issue.
And Li Si's request is not excessive.
After all, it was Zhao Si who proposed the imperial relocation order, and no matter what Li Si said, he took it on Zhao Si's behalf.
But Zhao Si still felt it was not appropriate and did not agree hastily.
I was quite hesitant for a moment.
