This first emperor is awesome

It seems that His Majesty is not as scary as in the rumors, glanced over, at least 100 out of 99 people will be scared to death!

"Your Majesty, are you interested in Caomin's hometown?"

Alu scratched his head and muttered.

"That's right! I'm not only interested in your hometown, but also in any place in the Great Qin Empire. Can you tell me about your hometown?"

Ying Zheng didn't put on airs at all, just like a benevolent elder, chatting with younger generations.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty almost dropped their jaws in shock.

Many people have worked with His Majesty for decades, who has ever seen His Majesty have such a kind and kind side?

"Since His Majesty wants to hear it, Cao Min is of course willing to speak."

"Our township is a treasure land of geomantic omen! On a warm spring day, the flowers and plants are in full bloom, and the leaves are lush and green. It's so beautiful."

"Especially the fruits from our place, not only are they harvested well, they are also delicious to eat."

"Now that His Majesty is implementing the New Deal, the neighbors and folks are grateful to His Majesty. Every household has their own Yongye land, and their lives are getting better every day."

"It's just reading! I seem to be the only one who can read and write in Lizheng except for the villagers. Everyone is busy farming and not interested in books."

Ah Lu seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, and talked a lot.

Ying Zheng seemed to be listening with gusto, with a faint smile on his face.

But my heart is a little heavy. It seems that the implementation of the New Deal has a long way to go!

In addition to the township officials, there is only one literate person in a township.

One can see the whole leopard at a glance, which shows that the hearts of the common people in the entire Great Qin Empire are only concerned with farming and opening up wasteland.Literacy is not important to them.

The New Deal must be implemented, and must be consistently implemented.

The school also needs to promote it, and let the officials all over the world popularize the truth of reading to change the fate of these common people.

Ying Zheng is very aware of the disadvantages of Enke, but everything has advantages and disadvantages.

As long as the benefits outweigh the risks, it's worth pursuing.

Ignorance is not conducive to the long-term development of the empire. Only when everyone is like a dragon can the Great Qin Empire prosper.

Only by unlocking the wisdom of the people can the Great Qin Empire go further.

I am not an omnipotent god, and it is impossible to cover everything.

The emperor has the responsibility of the emperor, the courtiers have the duties of the courtiers, the craftsmen have the role of craftsmen, and the merchants have their own way of survival.

All living beings in this world have their own missions, and my responsibility is to let them perform their duties and do their best to contribute to the Great Qin Empire.

Make the best use of everything, make the best use of people...

"Why did you travel thousands of miles to Xianyang to try?"

Ying Zheng put aside distracting thoughts and said to A Luke.

"Your Majesty, of course I want to be an official."

Without thinking, Ah Lu blurted out.

"Then why do you want to be an official?"

Ying Zheng is suspicious.

"Being an official is so majestic! Live in a big courtyard, marry many beautiful wives, and have a lot of babies."

Ah Lu said with longing on his face.

Hearing A Lu's words, all the officials in the hall changed their colors one after another, lowering their heads one by one, no longer looking like they were watching a play.

"Have you heard all?"

Ying Zheng glanced at the civil and military officials with their heads down, then looked at A Lu again and said, "Then what kind of official do you want to be?"

"Your Majesty... do you really want to make grassroots officials?"

Ah Lu showed a shocked look, and said suspiciously.

"Tell me first, how big an official do you want to be?"

Ying Zheng didn't give him a precise answer, but said with a smile.

"This one……"

"Prime Minister Caomin must not be able to do it!"

Ah Lu chuckled, very self-aware.

"Hahaha!"

Ying Zheng laughed, and was also amused by this guy, he couldn't be happier...

"Then you think you can do any job?"

Ying Zheng looked at A Luke and said.

"Your Majesty, Cao Min's grandfather is old and has been unable to do what he wants in the early years. Cao Min wants to take over the burden of grandfather and take care of the neighbors and villagers."

Ah Lu said expectantly to Ying Zheng.

Oh?

Ying Zheng was a little surprised. He originally thought that even if he didn't want a Beijing official, he would need a county official anyway.

It seems that I really guessed wrong, and not everyone in this world desires and is dissatisfied.

"The old man is old this year?"

Yingzheng is doubtful, seeing that A Lu is only in his early twenties, his grandfather should be five or sixty years old in common sense!

How could you be so powerless?

"Your Majesty, grandfather is eighty-three years old."

A Lu was a little surprised, why His Majesty would do this, but since His Majesty did, he answered truthfully.

"It really is a long life, people over seventy are rare in ancient times!"

Ying Zheng said with emotion from the bottom of his heart, then changed the subject and asked suspiciously: "What about your father? As the saying goes, the father wishes his son to succeed, so you, the grandson, shouldn't have to bear the burden, right?"

"Your Majesty, my father responded to the empire's call during the empire's war against Chu, and died in a foreign country when he accompanied General Li Xin to conquer Chu."

Ah Lu showed grief, and said in a heavy voice.

"After the meritorious service of the empire, Zenya."

Ying Zheng praised.

"Your Majesty was joking. My father died in battle without making any contribution. How can there be any merit!"

A Lu hurriedly said, with a wry smile.

"Ok?"

The smile on Ying Zheng's face froze, and he said to Zhao Zhong, "Go and fetch the death file from Baima County, Dongjun County."

"Sir, obey the order."

Zhao Zhong immediately cupped his hands and bowed, and then hurriedly left Pingtian Hall.

"To be the head of a village, one must not only be able to read and write, but also be familiar with the laws and regulations of the Great Qin Dynasty."

Ying Zheng looked at Ah Lu, and said.

"Your Majesty, the grass people have been fascinated by it since they were young, and they know the laws of the Great Qin."

Ah Lu said immediately.

"Then I will test you."

Seeing that Zhao Zhong had gone to fetch the files, Yingzheng said with great interest as he had nothing to do.

"Your Majesty, please come up with a question."

When A Lu talked about the law, he was also eager to try.

"If you meet a thief on the road and someone calls for help, if you don't give help within a hundred steps..."

Before Ying Zheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Be the second best."

Alu blurted out.

Although being bumped into, Yingzheng was not displeased at all, but was even more curious, and continued: "If someone hides a criminal in the Shiwu family, how should we deal with it according to the law of Daqin Lianzao?"

"Those who know and do not report will get a shield, and those who do not know will not be guilty."

Without hesitation, Ah Lu spoke to Qin Lv at his fingertips.

"When you meet a stranger, you suspect a traitor and don't raise an official. What's the crime?"

"Punish the city for three months."

"What should an official do if he accepts and submits a letter and accuses him of adultery?" 〕

"If you submit a letter, don't send it out. Burn it when you see it. Those who submit the letter will examine it, and those who can catch it will buy two ministers and concubines. [Burn the hidden book, arrest the person who submitted the letter, and reward a male and female slave. name.〕"

"The murderer dies before he realizes it. If he reports it later, how can the family deal with it?"

"The murderer will die and be buried, and will not be accepted."

"A thief entered a room, and A was injured and called for help. The elder Dian is not at home, so what? The neighbors are not at home, where?"

"The law of the Great Qin Dynasty, officials have to shoulder local responsibilities, whether they are present or not, they are all considered guilty. If neighbors hear about it and don't save it, it is a crime for them to sit down. If neighbors don't hear about it, they are not guilty."

"Don't tell the old man that he is unfilial, what do you want to kill?"

"If you are not filial, heaven will not tolerate it. There is no need for verification and review. You should immediately refuse to arrest and abandon the market [death penalty]."

"If a man and a woman commit adultery without knowing it, what is the crime?"

"Should be guilty of the same crime, abandon the market."

"The wife is fierce, and her husband beat her, tore her ear, broke her limbs, fingers, or caused dislocation, but how should the husband deal with it?"

"Should be punished with endurance." [Shaves off his beard and laughs secretly. 〕

"A son sues his parents, a servant sues his master, so what?"

"Non-official notices will not be accepted."

"How do you deal with the adultery of people with the same mother and different father?"

"The city should be abandoned."

"What's the crime for a woman who leaves her husband and flees privately?"

"Tattoo is a pound." [Tattooing on the face, treating rice. 〕

"What is the crime for a man to divorce his wife for no reason?"

"Tattoo is the city dan." [Tattooing on the face, building or repairing the city. 〕

Yingzheng was ok, but Alu answered fluently.

Soon Zhao Zhong came back holding a file, and went directly to Ying Zheng's side and said, "Your Majesty."

"lay down."

Ying Zheng said casually, then looked at A Luke and said, "What's your father's name?"

"Return to Your Majesty, my father's name is Agou."

A Lu was full of doubts in his heart, not knowing what His Majesty was going to do.

Ying Zheng nodded, picked up the file and read it.

As time went by, the dossier in front of Ying Zheng was quickly exhausted.

His complexion became more and more ugly, and Zhao Zhong stood by and watched with horror.

Inside the Pingtian Palace, the silence was terrifying, and all eyes were on His Majesty who was flipping through the files.

"Are all the meritorious and dead files in Baima County here?"

Ying Zheng put his hands on the file in front of him, looked at Zhao Zhong with a cold look in his eyes.
