Qin asked

Wang Ben rushed to the battlefield very fast, the weather was gradually getting colder, and Yan Guoyou was in the north. If the delay continued, Qin Guohui, who had opened up a long-distance front, would suffer.

However, when he finally arrived at his father's side, Wang Jian, who was said to have lost his way and could not find anyone, was staring at Prince Dan's head in a daze, looking rather distressed.

"Ben'er came just in time, I have something to discuss with you for my father."

Feeling that he didn't come at a good time, Wang Ben walked up to Wang Jian's side helplessly, and sat down on his buttocks: Obviously he was already fast, but he was still late, and he didn't know when the next battle would be...

Wang Jian ignored Wang Ben's gloomy expression, and said, "The king of Yan sent an envoy to bring the head of Prince Dan, what do you think should be done?"

Wang Ben sighed and said, "In my son's opinion, we can only wait."

Wang Jian felt a little regretful: "There is no other way..."

To be honest, neither the father and son of the Wang family, who are eager for military exploits, nor the state of Qin themselves really want this head, because even if the state of Qin refuses to accept it and still wants to attack the state of Yan, it must be approved by Yingzheng. It will take several months to go back and forth, and it will be winter by then.

For some people, the winter is just a suspension of production, just to rest for a while, but for ordinary people, winter means exhausting labor and military service, so most wars take place in winter.

The Qin State is a professional army, they are online 360 ​​days a year, so they least want to fight in winter.

On the one hand, it is due to the superiority of the number of people, and on the other hand, it is due to the geographical climate: ice and snow make the roads more rugged, and the difficulty of marching and combat and supply distribution is greatly increased. Let the walls of the enemy country become slippery and hard, and even the gunpowder begins to misfire.

The Qin army finally stopped their advance, and even began to retreat to the city behind. King Yan escaped temporarily by selling his son.

……

It was this familiar scene and this familiar smell again.

Already numb, Li Si calmly looked away, covered his mouth and nose, and let out a dull voice: "What does the king want to do with Yandan's head?"

Perhaps it was a plot arranged by the heavens. The assassination planned by Prince Dan ended up on Prince Dan, and Fan Yuqi's death was placed in front of Ying Zheng.

Mo Douzui interjected cheaply: "How about keeping it as a collection?"

Yandan's skull, that is definitely a national treasure relic that will drive historians of later generations crazy...

Li Si glanced at Mo Dou, the body was dismembered, and he was not allowed to be buried in the ground, which is a bit cruel-you know, even if you feed the dog, you can still return to the ground in the end.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows: "How about giving it to Dou?"

"That's still not enough..." Mo Dou smiled coyly, he was not so serious, "Your Majesty, let's make another decision."

Ying Zheng shook his head, he pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Bury it."

After all, he was once a proton with Prince Dan...

The terrifying head was taken away, and Li Si was finally willing to put down his sleeves. He cupped his hands and praised: "Your Majesty is merciful."

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si and didn't speak. Mo Dou's eyes widened. If he read correctly... Is Ying Zheng shy?

He couldn't help but keep looking at Yingzheng, and even Li Si began to look at Yingzheng carefully, causing Yingzheng to collapse a bit: "I just can't get used to it for a while, others are criticizing me for being cruel."

Mo Dou originally wanted to make fun of Ying Zheng, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help frowning: "Who is it?"

Unlike Yingzheng who killed captives in history because of productivity reasons, the current Yingzheng can be said to be benevolent to everyone: soldiers have received good subsidies, prisoners can return to their hometowns, live in peace, and there may be regional conflicts , but Ying Zheng still built up a good reputation among the low-level people. Logically speaking, the label of cruelty should be able to be removed.

Ying Zheng coughed, and changed the topic: "Yan Guo will not fight for the time being, please Li Qing to arrange it, and Lobster Gan Luo will also let me know."

Li Siying claimed that it was, and Mo Dou had no choice but to give up asking questions and focus on the matter to be discussed today: unifying the characters.

In later generations, the total number of Chinese characters is about 4000, and the commonly used Chinese characters are about 7000-[-]. In the pre-Qin period, the number of Xiaozhuan was about [-]. In Li Si, it is necessary to collect the characters of the six countries of Qi for integration and unification.

Fortunately, there was the Qianjin Pavilion. In terms of materials, Li Si didn't spend too much energy. After more than two years of preparation, he finally finished them all.

Having a finished product means having confidence, so Li Si went directly to Ying Zheng, put a thick 'dictionary' in front of Ying Zheng, and proposed the idea of ​​unifying the characters.

Ying Zheng looked through the 'dictionary' carefully. Li Si was indeed a great calligrapher. The twisted seal script in his writing had an indescribable beauty. It not only contained the simplicity of ancient totems, but also contained the vitality of future evolution.

Ying Zheng put down the book and said with a smile, "I thought you would take it out when Qin was unified."

"I originally thought this way," Li Stan said. Compared with now, when the world is united, it will definitely gain more fame. "But at this time, it is beneficial to Qin."

Bringing it out in advance will not only allow Qin State to have enough time to adapt, but also boil frogs in warm water. It will be implemented one by one first, and finally the national unification will be a matter of course.

After all, 'Book with text' is not a simple order. For many family classes, denying their writing is almost equivalent to denying their genealogy and history recorded in the past.

Mo Dou Luo Luo reminded: "Since this is the case, the weights and measures can also be unified."

Similarly, the unification of weights and measures is not easy. How many people take advantage of the differences in measurement in different places to earn benefits. If Qin is unified like this, it will be robbing them of their jobs.

It was a headache to list them one by one. Ying Zheng thought for a while and ordered: "Tell Gan Luo about the weights and measures, let him set the standard, and unify the words first, starting from Qianjin Pavilion."

The Qianjin Pavilion is a good place. If it is well run, it might be able to influence people directly.

So, the next day, various scholars living in Xianyang discovered that their spiritual home "Qianjin Pavilion" was closed?This still makes people alive!

Some people went home angrily and looked like salted fish, while others hung around outside the Qianjin Pavilion unwillingly. Soon, some careful people discovered that the place where the "Book of Remonstrance and Expelling Guests" had been posted had become an announcement, as if They are recruiting people to copy books by hand, the salary is very generous, and there is only one condition - to use new characters.

Simply ridiculous!

Many people left in a huff, and some even insulted them in public. Some people also raised criticisms at the court meeting that day, but Ying Zheng stopped them all with one sentence: "This is the Qianjin Pavilion of the widow."

I use my words, why do you care so much?I didn't eat your rice again!
