Emperor Qin

When Li Shiqi, a drunkard of Gaoyang, woke up, he saw the lights were like beans. For a while, he felt dizzy, convulsed and nauseated.

And the traveler sighed beside the bed and said that his wine was too strong, and he couldn't persuade you to sing less. I'm really sorry.

As he spoke, he poured him a glass of water with a guilty conscience.

Forget that this is the first steamed wine, there is a small amount of methanol in it. Fortunately, this guy can't resist this high-concentration wine, and he didn't drink much. He woke up so soon. It seems that the problem is not very big, and he can metabolize it .

Tsk, almost overturned.

Li Shiqi on the side savored the wine, and immediately said that he was fine, and that he would die without regret if he could taste such good wine.

Yan Jiang then asked him to go to Xian to make a living, so that he could drink such good wine often.

Li Shiqi looked at him suspiciously with some cloudy eyes. Although he knew that this person was definitely not an ordinary person, it was definitely not an ordinary person who could say that he was going to live in Xianyang so directly.

After a few breaths of thought, he politely refused.

Yan Jiang sat on the side, poured a glass of wine indifferently, put it on his lips, and began to recite: "In today's world, Qin's tyranny has been implemented in the world, and the hearts of the six countries are not willing to change. Shi Liang played the book and never rested day and night. If he is so greedy for power, he will not live long. When he dies and the country is destroyed, he will be..."

"You, you shut up!" Li Shiqi was startled, angry and frightened, these, these were all his lies after drinking, and he couldn't remember them clearly, but you can still memorize them, who is this!

Yan Jiang smiled slightly: "Why panic, I saw what Mr. said, every word is precious, and I just want to present it to the superior, and persuade the king to cherish the body."

His Majesty rolled his eyes aside, Ah Jiang really thought it didn't exist.

Li Shiqiqiang calmed down and said, "There are so many capable ministers under the King of Qin. You may not be able to see them, and even if you see them, you may not be able to win his favor. Why don't you forget about this and treat it as if you have no right?"

His mind quickly cleared up: "You need to be sincere when you ask for a scholar, you can't force it. Besides, Li Si's family is dominant now. If you want me to go to Xianyang with you, you won't be afraid that I will follow you and join hands with your enemies." Is it?"

"To join hands with my enemy, who?" Yan Jiang smiled, "I'm afraid there are not many ministers in the court who are willing to be my enemy."

As he spoke, he picked up His Majesty on one side and shook it in front of the other party.

"..."

In the middle of the night that night, the mournful shouts and howls of the gatekeepers spread throughout the village.

Li Shiqi's younger brother, Li Shang, just turned over next door and didn't even get up to take a look.

It's not the first time that the eldest brother likes to go crazy after drinking.

"Drinking is a mistake!" Li Shiqi patted his thigh and drove an old ox cart to Xianyang in pain.

"If you say that, you should give me back the wine." Yan Jiang rode on a horse, admonishing him from the side, "I told you, this wine is poisonous, drinking too much will hurt your body."

Worried about poisoning the old man to death, Yan Jiang slightly steamed the remaining strong wine to remove the methanol, but he didn't have any equipment, so who knows if it was completely removed.

"This is the money you gave me to enter the Qin Dynasty. How can it be refunded!" Li Shiqi said righteously, "As the second minister, how can you be untrustworthy?"

Yan Jiang was too lazy to argue with him, and only checked the stations along the way with him.

After he discussed with the king of Qin, the king of Qin, who is super strong in execution, has been busy implementing this matter. Now, in less than a year, the matter of passing the book at the post station has taken shape.

The King of Qin has divided the world into 32 counties, which are under his direct control.

As for the matter of post stations, he divided the world into Kyushu according to Yan Zi's proposal, starting from Xianyang and counting from near to far. Each state has a number, and each county under the state has another number. number shall prevail.

At the end of the month, each county needs to send news of local household registration, harvest, major events, etc. to the big city of the prefecture, and the big cities of the prefectures will send it to Xianyang after being aggregated, and the post station in Xianyang will send the imperial court’s court meetings and major events to various places every half a month. Important matters, and mailed letters and goods are also transferred through these.

If there is any urgent military situation in the middle, of course it must be delivered quickly, and it will not be controlled by these messages.

This kind of inefficiency is conceivable. Yan Jiang calculated that if he sent a letter from Chenliu, where they were, to Yandu, then he would have to wait until the end of the month, and all the letters would be collected in Daliang, and then wait a little longer. At the end of the month, it will be sent to Xianyang, and then it will be sent to Yandu after a transfer in Xianyang.

The letter is okay, if it is a pot of flower seedlings, by the time it arrives, the flowers may all be gone.

But in ancient times, it was not easy to do this kind of thing, and you can't ask too much.

Yan Jiang looked at the biography of Chen Liuyi's arrival. Most of the letters sent by the sergeants were made of wooden boxes, and the paper was still too expensive for them. The beginning was left out, and it was written [-]. The third refers to Zhongzhou, and the second refers to Yingchuan County. , six refers to Chenliu, and nine refers to Gaoyang County.

The letter will only go to the county, and then it will be sent to the village by word of mouth to be picked up. As for how long it will be delivered and how long will it be picked up, God knows.

Fortunately, this is a military letter, and the letter is sent for free, but it costs a lot of money to reply, but in terms of price distance, it is actually a loss.

But even if it is a loss, King Qin is very interested in this. According to his understanding, these post stations will directly become his eyes and ears, strengthening his control over various places.

Moreover, the King of Qin has already started his Chidao plan, and decided to connect all the roads in the world.

Chen Liu was close to Daliang, and when Yan Jiang passed through Yangwu County on the Yellow River, he met Chen Ping, who was already a county lieutenant.

When he attended Chen Ping's wedding here that year, he happened to meet the forces of Chu State who assassinated King Qin, and he left without saying a word. Later, King Qin Dasuo rebelled locally and cleared out many official positions, so Chen Ping was able to be promoted by a small official. so fast.

Li Shiqi and Chen Ping hit it off right away, and even chatted with each other about how Chen Hou and his ancestor Li Pan passed through Chen Guo and received courteous treatment when they were in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Yan Jiang watched the two declining nobles speak clearly and logically, and then talked about things like regaining the glory of their ancestors.

The age difference between the two is more than ten years, but they talked about major national affairs in a clear and logical way, and even talked about future plans. Chen Ping said that it was too easy for him to deal with the affairs of the county. Didn’t Daliang set up a new "state station" recently? Well, there is a tight shortage of people over there, and he is going to apply to try there.

Li Shiqi also immediately said that he also felt that the post station was a good place to climb up, praised Chen Ping for his good vision, and said that he didn't know what to do for the time being, so he asked him for advice.

Chen Ping felt that his eloquence was rare, and he was familiar with the world's trends, so how about trying to be an envoy to Qi?

Li Shiqi thought it was okay, but he was worried that he would not be able to discuss this matter.

Chen Ping said that with Yan Zi around, there should be opportunities, so he is not an envoy, and it is not difficult to be a deputy envoy.

The two of them completely ignored Yan Zi who was tearing meat and feeding water for the love birds, and only showed their raging ambitions directly - if you want to get ahead, you have to have something to show your thighs, talent is not valuable in the Six Kingdoms, what is valuable is Chance to hold your thighs.

Yan Jiang shook his head slightly, and finally understood one thing.

These old nobles from the Six Kingdoms really depend on the dishes. Whoever can make them stand out is their nobleman. As for the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, it is because they have not been able to join the aristocratic system of the Qin State.

But if they have the opportunity to join, no matter how reluctant they are, their bodies will honestly say they are willing.

I was worried that they would rather die than submit, I really thought too much.

His Majesty was very calm, and he told A Jiang with a little pride: You are the only one who is so rare about these individuals, and he has seen them a lot. This Chen Ping Li Shiqi is just the generation of Li Si, Yao Jia, and the state of Qin has them.

There is no shortage of talented people in the emperor's subordinates. What is lacking is whether they are willing to discern carefully and whether they have the ambition to do great things. This is also the biggest difference between the hero and the mediocre.

Yan Jiang understood Xiaobi's hint, and immediately praised King Qin for his brilliance and martial arts.

His Majesty is very satisfied.

They returned to Xianyang all the way, and Li Shiqi was assigned to Yao Jia's subordinates. As for the rest, Yan Jiang believed that he could do well.

At this time, the area of ​​Xianyang was larger than that of the previous two years, three new bridges were added on the Weishui River, and there was a faint trend of land speculation around his own manor.

More importantly, King Qin actually built a Luo Palace.

Xiang Liyun also spat and said that a large number of snails have been transported from Nanjun in the past few years. I heard that they are about to become extinct. The palace built by the king specially for you, let alone bluestones, snails on the walls, and the stairs and ladders Built into a spiral shape, it has a special flavor.

Although Yan Jiang is not interested in the name Luogong, he has to admit that this building is really beautiful. The special spire is a bit like a tall tower, but the color is not gray, but a conspicuous gray. It is not wooden tiles, but gray stone tiles. There are nine spiers.

It is very beautiful.

The snails have been smashed and used to burn cement.

My only regret is that it wasn't finished.

Xiang Liyun said soon, just wait for Yan Zi to cap it himself.

Yan Jiang said he knew, and then asked about the southern water gu—the purpose of catching snails is to eliminate schistosomiasis, and he doesn't know what's going on now.

Xiang Liyun didn't know much about this, so he asked Yan Jiang to ask King Qin himself.

Well, back to the previous question.

Now what he has to deal with is a very displeased king who has been waiting for him for more than half a year.

……

As for how to appease the king's anger, after thinking about it for a day, Yan Jiang was ready.

He was going to give him the atlas of the country of Qi as a gift, but in the end, he never thought of it.

King Qin didn't even look at the atlas.

Just put it aside, looking indifferent, unmoved.

Seeing the other party's appearance of being up for grabs, Yan Jiang smiled slightly, and he knew that the king was not easy to coax this time.

So Yan Zi closed the door to dismiss the attendants, and slowly took off his coat under Qin Wang's indifferent eyes.

He tied a red string around his beautiful and slender body.

……

This time it should be fine.

When being pressed against the pillar, Yan Jiang thought happily.

Just when he was in a daze, his neck was suddenly bitten hard.

"It hurts!" Yan Jiang tried to push him, but failed, the rope was still in his hands.

"If Qin Fu loves the people of the six kingdoms, he will be the king for the third generation." King Qin slowly recited the lessons he heard in Qi State at that time, gently raised A Jiang's chin, and said condescendingly, "The third generation, and To all eternity? Huh?"

He emphasized the sound on the word "three generations".

Yan Jiang was stunned for a moment.

The traitor!At that time, I heard the flaws, unexpectedly, I pretended for so long!

Qin Wang bit his earlobe affectionately, with a slight smile: "A Jiang, don't worry, the night is long, you can always explain clearly."

For this sentence, it endured his flirting all the way and didn't make a fuss.
