Ying Zheng answered casually, and then walked around the workshop to inspect the finished equipment.

Chen Qing silently followed behind him.

"I heard that you accidentally got news of a secret passage from Bashu Zhuo's family, leading to Shendu Kingdom outside the territory?"

Ying Zheng walked to the end of the workshop and did not turn around, but stopped and opened his mouth.

Chen Qing was refreshed, and finally came!

"exactly."

"Your Majesty, Shendu country is rich in resources and produces spices."

"The local folk customs are weak, and the people are ignorant and obedient, but they are one-on-one..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Shi Huang with a wave of his hand.

"I heard that you had an argument with Fusu because of this matter, and reprimanded him?"

Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Chen Qing was furious, and subconsciously looked for Zhao Chong's figure.

Calling you brother and brother in person, but stabbing me again later, right?

I think you are healed, the scars forget the pain!

"Chen Qing, why don't you speak?"

Ying Zheng's face was a little serious.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is absolutely no such thing."

"His Royal Highness is worried that conquests will poison the people and waste money, so I justified him a few words."

"The reprimand is actually slander and slander, not the original intention of this humble minister."

Chen Qing clarified.

"Oh?"

"No."

There was a touch of disappointment in Ying Zheng's tone: "Then why don't you?"

???

Chen Qing's eyes widened.

That's your own son!

The prince, prince, and future emperor of Daqin.

I reprimand him?

Make yourself uncomfortable?

"Chen Qing, do you know why the widow put you next to Fusu?"

Ying Zheng asked meaningfully.

"I don't know."

Chen Qing shook his head slightly.

Yingzheng took a few steps, and said softly: "Fu Su likes to read Confucian classics, and I hate them deeply. But a wise man will make mistakes if he worries a lot, and a fool will gain something if he thinks a lot."

"There is such a sentence in Confucian books, 'Living with good people is like entering a house of orchids. If you don't smell its fragrance for a long time, you will be transformed with it. Living with unkind people is like living in abalone. It melts with it. Dan hides red, and lacquer hides black.'”

Before he finished speaking, Chen Qing suddenly raised his head: "Your Majesty, you scolded me."

Ying Zheng: "Huh?"

Chen Qing subconsciously said: "You called me an abalone, and you called me a black man."

Ying Zheng straightened his face: "Is this what the widow means?"

"That's right... Weichen will be mistaken."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Chen Qing hurriedly bowed and bowed, complaining secretly in his heart.

Take the bamboo shoots!

It doesn't matter what you think in your heart, if you say such things in person, won't you save me any face?

It's okay to be black, I admit it.

But compare me to abalone...

In later generations it can often be used to refer to that.

"Fusu has frequent contacts with you, it is not an exaggeration to say that we meet each other day and night."

"Why don't you get influenced by you?"

"Chen Qing, when it's time to mention something, I should mention a few words. I forgive you for your innocence."

Ying Zheng stood with his back to him and his hands behind his back.

Chen Qing asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you mean... let the humble officials step up their efforts?"

"Jade is not cut, not a device."

"You are very skillful in your actions, Fusu regards you as a teacher, so he should not hesitate to teach you."

"Chen Qing, do you understand what the widow means?"

Ying Zheng said earnestly and kindly.

"Wei Chen understands."

Chen Qing's eyes were complicated, and he felt a little indescribable.

Since ancient times, only parents expect their children to learn well.

You are doing the opposite!

Thinking that Fusu was not bad enough, he found a teacher for him.

Only then did Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Chen Qing with admiration.

Chen Qing turned his head angrily.

Is this a compliment or scolding me?

I'm the worst co-author of Man Da Qin, right?

"In the case of poisoning the country, I believe your judgment."

After worrying about his own children, Ying Zheng talked about state affairs again.

"Just one thing, I still have concerns in my heart."

He pointed to the surrounding workshops: "Li Xin will soon lead an army to expedition to the Western Regions, and at this time, he will continue to attack Shendu..."

"Daqin is fighting on four fronts."

Ying Zheng himself was impatient, but Chen Qing kept talking about 'excessive consumption of people's power' and 'rest and recuperation', so he listened to it.

Now that the opponent is taking the initiative to start a war against the poison that Da Qin knows nothing about, Emperor Shihuang has to think carefully.

"It's not in a hurry."

"It will take at least a year just to explore the road."

"And then it will take a lot of time to widen it enough for large troops to pass through."

"The war in the Western Regions must be over by then."

Chen Qing answered with reason and evidence.

The First Emperor was quite satisfied with the answer, he smiled and asked, "I have always had a question in my mind."

"You have always been tired of political affairs, why are you so keen on conquest outside the territory?"

Ying Zheng knew very well that although Chen Qing, like other courtiers, did not lack in etiquette at all, on the surface he respected the royal family enough.

But this person has no concept of monarch and minister in his bones!

What he did was certainly not to please himself, or to be rewarded for meritorious service.

"Eating the king's salary is a matter of being loyal to the king."

After Chen Qing said something in a high-sounding manner, he noticed that Shi Huangdi's eyes had become a little harsher, so he stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment."

He turned around and walked a few steps quickly, calling a civilian husband who was carrying the burden.

"Grassmen salute... Your Majesty."

"Kowtow to His Majesty."

The first emperor came here directly after retiring from the imperial court, and did not change the court clothes with the crown and twelve chapters.

There is no second person in Daqin with this outfit.

The old farmer-like civilian husband knelt on the ground tremblingly, his head firmly tapped into the loess.

Chen Qing received the signal from the first emperor's eyes, and called softly: "You get up first."

The old farmer timidly raised his head, and was supported by Chen Qing's arm before he stood still.

"Your Majesty wants to ask you, why are you taking the burden here?"

"Huh? What?"

The old farmer froze in place, looking at Chen Qing timidly.

"Why are you taking the burden here?"

Chen Qing asked again.

"Grassmen... are for work."

After stuttering his answer, the old farmer saw Chen Qing's half-smile, and hurriedly added: "I'm working for His Majesty, and I'm here to help you!"

Shi Huang was expressionless, not knowing what Chen Qing had done.

"Well, it's okay, you can go back."

After Chen Qing dismissed the civilian husband, he said seriously: "The reason why I am so keen on expanding abroad is that one day, your Majesty will randomly find a passer-by and ask him why he works?"

"He can say solemnly: 'Xiaomin is to build Xianyang more magnificent and make Daqin prosperous'."

Ying Zheng froze for a moment, showing a thoughtful expression.

"If someone can replace them in these hard labors, will the Qin people not be so busy?"

"After working in the evening, can they bring their wives and children, chat and laugh on the streets of Xianyang, and buy some snacks and toys."

"If the treasury of the Daqin government is full, and the people can save a few copper coins a year after hard work, can even the people in the head of Guizhou be able to provide for their descendants to study?"

"Perhaps their generation is thick and short brown, and the blue betel is exposed. But..."

"In the future, their descendants will be able to wear a long gown and sit in the school and read aloud 'study for the prosperity of the Great Qin'."

"The humble minister has nothing to ask for."

Chapter 289 Planned Parenthood?Involve?None exist!

Ying Zheng's complexion was gloomy, and he was speechless for a long time.

What Chen Qing said just now was even more shocking than seeing waterwheels, gunpowder, and glass for the first time!

Let everyone be able to read and let the descendants of the people in Guizhou head wear long gowns, which is something that the emperors of all dynasties could not imagine.

The descendants of the people in Qianshou participated in labor early to reduce the burden on their families.

And reading means that half of the family's labor force has been out of production for more than ten years.

Not only can he not share the family's labor and taxes, but he also has to spend a lot of money on books, pens and ink, and a lot of money every year.

The Qin Dynasty implemented the official-teacher system.
