Emperor Qin

The little red fox brought back by Huahua did not survive.

Although Yan Jiang has good first aid dressing skills, but the two in his family do not support his harem dream.

It already had only one breath left, and was threatened by tigers and birds of prey at the last moment of the fox's life. The natural sensitivity of animals made it frightened and died, leaving only a piece of fox fur that was not of good quality. I ordered someone to take it away and made the collar of the cloak. When I went out when the weather was cold, I specially picked this one to put on happily.

Yan Jiang continued to communicate with the Mohists, and at the same time went to the Academy to give lectures every now and then.

His theory of the Yan family is based on Legalism and Confucianism. While adhering to the rule of law, he supports ordinary people to strengthen their moral values ​​and not to seek trouble for nothing.

The promotion of paper has led to the development of the printing industry. This year, Xianyang has a rare cultural atmosphere, all because the book of Qindi is too cheap.

As long as you have paper and ink, you can go to the school to print books and roll them up. Cheap books have a great impact on the promotion and dissemination of culture. The school does not charge tuition fees, and you can listen to lectures for free. Yan Jiang observed that academic In the theory, Mohism and Confucianism have a clear inheritance, and Legalism is relatively scattered. At this time, Legalism is not called "Legalism", but "School of Criminal Names and Magic", which directly pockets the politicians who reformed the law. Put it all in.

More importantly, because the previous reforms of various countries hurt the interests of the nobles of the six countries, especially Wu Qi's reforms, which implicated hundreds of nobles in the Chu state to death, and the Legalists were suppressed by the nobles in the six countries to varying degrees—see Han Feizi's treatment is known.

It's no wonder that after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the Legalists had a hard time, they didn't have a systematic organization at all.

Yan Jiang met Han Fei twice to give lectures, and his knowledge is good, but he was born with a stutter, and he has this shortcoming. It is really not easy to be a teacher. Yan Jiang talked with him, and only then did he know that Han Fei has not been in court for a year, and was rejected. After the king of Qin summoned several times, he began to go deep into the grassroots to study the influence of legalism on ordinary people, trying to build a more complete reform system.

Yan Jiang felt sorry for his difficult age, so he set up a blackboard behind the podium in the academy and mixed clay with lime to make it easier for him to teach people. Han Fei was very happy and grateful for this.

He also found that although the atmosphere in the academy was a little tense, there was an unexpected benefit because Qin Shu was spread all over the place.

Qin Wen is gradually encroaching on the share of intellectuals.

This is a very terrifying thing. You must know that among the six countries, Qi and Wei are rich and rich, and they are almost a treasure house of talents in the Warring States period. However, according to the foreign scholars who came to Qin recently, the cheap Qin book promoted the spread of Qin Wen. At the same speed as a virus, Yan Jiang felt that when Qin Shihuang promulgated the policy of "books with the same text" decades later and abolished the six countries' languages, they should not offend the scholars of the six countries too much.

After all, everyone knows a foreign language, so it is easy to change it.

That being the case, it can be dumped at a low price.

Zhang Cang was recently promoted, and he was the minister under Zhisu Neishi. Zhisu Neishi was in charge of the country's grain and grass revenue. After the autumn harvest, taxes and taxes were put into the treasury. I can only go to Qin Wangzheng.

Yan Jiang made a calculation for the King of Qin. When he was in Longxi, papermaking only required manpower. A small paper mill could refine pulp and make [-] sheets of paper a day. After Li Chong expanded the paper mill, the cost dropped even more. The cost of a piece of paper is only about one Qin and a half.

The price is ten Qin and a half taels for a piece of paper, which is about a hundred times the cost. Even so, it is ten times cheaper than the book slips, and it is easy to carry. Yan Jiang believes that printing can be combined to make something more expensive than paper. Cheap and low-priced books come out and occupy the book market.

Qin Wangzheng thought about it and agreed to his suggestion.

Yan Jiang said more seriously that the strokes of the seal script are curved and difficult to write. It is better to directly change the pattern of horizontal, flat and vertical, and change the circle of the seal script to a square fold, which is convenient for writing. In this way, it will be easier to promote Qinwen and avoid future changes. trouble.

Qin Wangzheng saw the potential in it at a glance, not only agreed, but also specifically asked Li Si to take charge of the matter. Now this Chu country official is very popular under Qin Wang, and there is no conflict of interest. He and Han Fei are somewhat kinship With a deep appearance, he often talks by candlelight at night, saying to the outside world that he wants brothers to be of one mind or something.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Yan Jiang got up to leave.

Then he was kept by King Qin.

The great king put down the letter, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness in his expression. When the tiger restrained its minions, it looked really provocative. Qin Wangzheng looked lost, and sighed: "A Jiang, do you and I have to be born like this?"

"After all, you don't have long hair...cough," Yan Jiang coughed a few more times to cover up, and then explained, "After all, you are the king of Qin. I have no merit, and a little bit of birth is more conducive to the distinction between monarch and minister. Humble."

"In your eyes, all living beings have always been equal," Qin Wangzheng said sadly with a disappointed expression, "Why are you the only exception to the widows? How unfair."

"Why do you play so much?" Yan Jiang knelt in front of him, "You're not a bird, you should restrain yourself."

King Qin skillfully propped his head up with his hands, looked at him, and said with a smile, "Please teach me how to restrain yourself."

"Don't pose like your Majesty!" Yan Jiang couldn't resist His Majesty's power, he really had no choice but to take him, and said helplessly, "You are already the King of Qin, it's inappropriate for me to come to you often!"

Besides, you can't masturbate, kiss, let alone hug, how can you be cute and fluffy?Waste of my time.

"The body of an owl, you can't make a sound. Now you are cold in every possible way. Don't you blame me." For this matter, Qin Wangzheng endured it for several days. Hang out with that tiger and fox.

"Where did you blame you?" Yan Jiang said as a matter of course, "Your Majesty, you can't speak yourself. It is common for me to find it difficult to understand the meaning occasionally."

"A Jiang must have a solution." King Qin stared at him with a gentle tone, "If you can teach the people in the palace, how about teaching the few?"

Such a good-looking king asked for favors, and he also had a halo of historical celebrity. Yan Jiang couldn't resist for a while, and finally said helplessly: "Then, I will find a way for you."

So Yan Jiang taught King Qin Pinyin and Zhuyin, so that what His Majesty wanted to say at night can be expressed directly in the alphabet, and he used it more than one king, and asked Zhao Gao to record these syllables and compile them. Yan's Zhuyin" joined the printing army.

It is impossible to directly annotate all the characters, but after explaining the spelling method, some people who want to become famous will come to explore and discover.

King Qin was very satisfied with this. Not only did he have a few more hours of teaching time every night, but he also won a great right for His Majesty to express his opinions - he only needs to point out what he wants to say on the alphabet on the paper, and he can express it clear meaning.

So he happily announced his will, and in the future, all Yan's books will be half cheaper than other books.

Ah Jiang can always surprise him.

After the autumn and October, it is the 11th year of Qin Wangzheng.

This year, the Qin State had a bumper harvest.

Zheng Guoqu showed its power for the first time, the land in Guanzhong increased by [-] hectares, the surplus grain in the treasury skyrocketed, and wheat was promoted. For a while, the number of newborns in the country increased significantly—in ancient times when there were no contraceptive measures, there was very little entertainment, and everyone slept. Therefore, peasant women will continue to give birth to children, and when food is insufficient, most of the newborns will die due to "poor care", which is also a major reason for the high death rate of newborns in ancient times.

This kind of thing even continued two thousand years later. When Marshal Zhu mentioned in his works that the biological mother drowned the child, he was very sad.

Because he was still harvesting food, he could not send troops, but Qin Wangzheng did not let him sit idle. He was busy stirring up flames between Chu and Wei recently.

Although the six countries occasionally come to the gate of Qin State together, the relationship between them has never been harmonious. The country naturally looked down on this country bumpkin, thinking that neither the Chu people nor the Qin country were good people. A Nanman and a Xirong were both wolves in human skin.

And Chu State is also very envious of Wei State's cities. Compared with Chu State's vast land and sparse population, Wei State is mostly rich land with prosperous commerce and abundant taxes, so the two countries have constant conflicts.

A few days ago, there was a conflict between Chu and Wei, and the king of Qin sent an envoy to say that we can send troops together to go to Chu to do something big.

King Wei was very moved by this, but he also knew that Qin Guomo's instigation had bad intentions, so he was in a dilemma and delayed first.

The king of Qin was a little impatient, so he wrote a letter saying that if you don't want to fight, I will send troops to fight. Not only will there be no benefits for you, but you will have to see if I am in a good mood. If not, I will even cut you off.

Wei Wang was very afraid of this, so he agreed to send troops to attack Chu with Qin.

The king of Qin gave up, so he sent another army from Wuguan to Nanyang, and attacked Chu State with Wei soldiers.

Yan Jiang found that the king really had a restless temper, and in such a short time, he paid attention to Lu Buwei's affairs again.

King Qin didn't kill Lu Buwei, but exiled him to Shu to chat with Lao Ai's disciples.

But this boss is not low-key.

In other words, he can't do it even if he wants to keep a low profile——Since he entered Shu, there has been an endless stream of visitors from the six kings and princes, all wanting him to come out of the mountain again. You are so powerful and wasted here, why don't you come and see my son/ King/Wang Sun/Is there any investment feasibility?

King Qin was very displeased with this.

He sent Lu Buwei to Shu to cut off his influence, but the current situation is counterproductive, and his reputation and prestige have spread to the six countries even more.

"What's there to be angry about? After all, Lu Buwei has contributed to the country." Yan Jiang ground a few pieces of newly picked bitter tea, boiled a cup of milk tea in a small stove, added brown sugar, and handed it to King Qin.

He only invited Zhang Cang to drink this kind of tea once, and it was popularized unexpectedly, and it became popular in Xianyang at a speed that he could not even dream of. Even now, if there is no milk tea to entertain guests, it means that the guests are not expensive.

King Qin sneered: "Of course I'm not angry, but what he does, we have to guard against it."

"I think it's better not to touch him for the time being," Yan Jiang casually persuaded, "I think he can be invited to come out of the mountain for the business law of the Qin land."

Yan Jiang only recently found out that Qin is poor. Because of the suppression of the economy, most of the treasury's money was robbed from the six countries, and the commerce and trade in a small enclave in Hexi can be worth one-third of Qin's income.

It's no wonder that the Six Kingdoms look down on Qin.

If commerce and trade are not active, the people will have no wealth. Han Zhao and other countries do not accept the half tael of Qin because the copper content is too low.

On the contrary, the knife coins of Qi State are exquisite in style, have a large copper content, and have full purchasing power. They can be used in Qin State. I just ask you whether it is embarrassing.

After being reminded by Yan Jiang, King Qin knew about the joint, and he was instantly displeased, so he looked at him silently.

Lu Buwei has given him a lot of embarrassment in fighting for power over the years, especially the offering of male favorites. Although Lu Buwei himself has been tricked, it is a big taboo in King Qin's heart, and he will feel uncomfortable if he is not punished.

Yan Jiang didn't care about his mood, and said casually: "The old disciples are still there, so stop making trouble, and it won't be too late to make a big difference when the situation stabilizes."

"I'm sad, why can't Ah Jiang not comfort me?" Qin Wangzheng sighed, he is in a bad mood, why can't you look up?

"I don't have that time, the king is rich all over the world, why bother to worry about this little thing." Yan Jiang lowered his head and continued to pluck his tea leaves. He figured out why there were ingredients, ginger, etc. added to the tea soup during the Tang and Song Dynasties. It’s not that people don’t like green tea, it’s that tea leaves that haven’t been domesticated have to be drunk that way, otherwise, after drinking it, it feels like your tongue isn’t your own.

Qin Wangzheng silently took a sip of the fragrant tea, and suddenly said: "A few days ago, Yandi presented rare and exotic beasts, and there was a female tiger, which would match your flowers."

Yandi, that's the Siberian tiger!Can Huahua have a wife?

Yan Jiang's eyes lit up, and he raised his head instantly.

King Qin also stared at him.

The four eyes met, and the air was quiet for a moment.

Yan Jiang smiled and handed over a new bowl of tea, and said, "The stars are shining tonight, I wonder if I can have the honor to enjoy it with the king?"

King Qin nodded slightly, and took the tea bowl, his eyes were tender for a moment, like a spring breeze blowing and flowers blooming.
