Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 124: Fork in the road ahead, this will be broken! (seeking subscription)

Before the big case.

Ying Zheng sat on the table leisurely.

What was placed in front of him was no longer a large bronze plate, and there was no white noodle pot helmet, nor boneless mutton on the table, but only porridge and side dishes.

Very light.

Qin Luoheng served Ying Zheng a bowl of porridge.

explained:
"Sir, it's not that I don't have meat, it's just that you are not suitable now."

"The chief official is in a high position. In the past, he must eat a lot of fish and meat. The fat, sweet and greasy go into the body to heat up. Your internal heat this time may not be caused by excessive meat."

"As the saying goes, what is empty cannot be filled."

"The chief official is currently very weak. If he continues to supplement his body, not only will it not be good for his body, but it will also increase the burden on his body. Too much is too much."

"Although drinking plenty of water has the effect of clearing away heat, it is more important to control your diet."

"Recently, I should focus on a light diet."

Ying Zheng said solemnly:
"It's okay."

"I'm not that picky yet."

"Porridge and side dishes are indeed more pleasing to the eye than fish."

Done.

Ying Zheng picked up the bowl and started eating.

The food Qin Luoheng made was very bland, but he got used to it very well, and it was much more enjoyable than eating big fish and meat in the past.

But I didn't really eat much.

finished eating.

Qin Luoheng brought over the hot soup.

Ying Zheng's eyes were full of disgust.

But under Qin Luoheng's strict surveillance, he still pinched his nose and drank the bitter medicine, his whole face grim and bitter.

too bitter!
Seeing that Ying Zheng drank all the soup and medicine, Qin Luoheng nodded in satisfaction, leaned over and picked up the bowls and chopsticks. After taking the bowls and chopsticks into the back kitchen, he did not rush to clean them, but went to give them to Ying Zheng. Moved a recliner and placed it in the yard.

Let him bask in the sun in the yard.

Looking at the reclining chair, Ying Zheng frowned.

He didn't sit down.

Instead, he stood quietly in the courtyard.

Looking around at this quiet and quiet courtyard.

Here.

Qin Luoheng lived for ten years!

soon.

Qin Luoheng came out of the back kitchen, saw Ying Zheng standing outside, and asked curiously, "What is the chief official looking at? It's rare to see the sun these days, so the chief official should sit and bask in the sun."

Ying Zheng came back to his senses.

He walked over to the recliner and took a look at the recliner.

He frowned and said:
"This thing is also made for your wife?"

Qin Luoheng smiled and said:
"Ah."

"Isn't the master old?"

"If you sit on the mat all the time, getting up and sitting down will inevitably be a bit difficult, so I got this reclining chair, thinking that my wife can be a little more comfortable."

"Sir, sit down and try."

Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng, hesitated, and sat down anyway. It was indeed much easier than sitting on the mat with his knees together.

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, "It's indeed a lot more comfortable."

immediately.

He thought that this was made by the palace, his face darkened immediately, and he said coldly: "But that's it, after all, it's something not popular."

"You are lucky, Master. There are people who serve you so wholeheartedly when you are old, and enjoy everything that is good. He is not a loser in death."

Qin Luoheng smiled awkwardly.

But he didn't answer the call.

Because the sun was out and Ying Zheng was sitting outside, Qin Luoheng also moved the desk to the yard and read a book outside.

then.

In the courtyard, one person reads a book and the other basks in the sun.

Uncommonly quiet.

Not far from the small courtyard, Yi couldn't believe it when he saw the relaxed Ying Zheng.

Is this still the domineering first emperor of the past?
And
Your Majesty is too close to this dead man, right?
He not only asked about this person's recent situation from time to time, but this time he even stayed here overnight, and allowed the deceased to see a doctor and make medicine for him. This level of intimacy is not as close as that of the eldest son, right?

Yi took a deep look at Qin Luoheng.

He really didn't understand.

But as a courtier, he didn't dare to ask more questions.

It's just that he respects Qin Luoheng even more, even a little in awe.

Sun for a while.

Ying Zheng was also a little sleepy.

He looked around, trying to find a target to keep himself awake.

At last.

He looked at Qin Luoheng.

Qin Luoheng didn't read "Legal Questions and Answers" at this time.

What he read was "Cangjie Chapter".

This is a Xiaozhuan model written by Li Si, which is one of the literacy textbooks in the school.

Ying Zheng said:

""Cang Jie Pian" was written by Li Si."

"Li Si's handwriting is good. When I first saw it, I was amazed. But the article you read is just a copy, and you can't appreciate the charm of his handwriting."

Speaking of which.

Ying Zheng recalled the scene when he first met Li Si.

At that time, Li Si was just a Hequ Ling, and his rank was only a few hundred years old, but he already had great ambitions. However, Li Si was a disciple of Lu Buwei at that time, and what he admired was not the rule of law in Xunxue, but the kingly way in "Lushi Chunqiu".

Even use it to sell yourself.

but.

At that time, he liked "Han Feizi" and hated "Lushi Chunqiu", so Li Si was not reused as he wished. It was not until the later "Book of Remonstrance and Exorcism" that Li Si began to show up in front of people.

It was also then.

Li Si abandoned "Lu Shi Chunqiu" and picked up the legal system of Shang Jun.

Fork in the front, this will be broken.

Ying Zheng still remembered what Li Si said at that time.

Li Si said: "If the ambition of the King of Qin is to strengthen the army to settle disputes and unify the world, then the rule of law of the Shang monarch is better than "Lu Shi Chunqiu". The Spring and Autumn Annals is better than the legal system of the Shang monarch."

Li Si said this in front of Lu's disciples.

This also means that Li Si broke with Lu Buwei's disciples completely.

It was also from then on that Li Si began to be reused, and he was promoted step by step from a small order to the current Ting Wei.

Ying Zheng Road:
"Li Si's handwriting is very extraordinary."

"There is a kind of charm that makes people speechless, but can be truly felt."

"It's as vigorous as an iron hook, as beautiful as a scroll of mountains and rivers, and as rigorous as the law. When you see Li Si's handwriting in the future, you will know the beauty of Chinese characters."

Qin Luoheng shook his head and said:

"The words are magnificent, but to me, they don't mean much."

"What Qin Zhuan wants is not gorgeousness, but practicality. No matter how magnificent Li Si's handwriting is, it is not something that ordinary people can write. If you blindly praise Li Si's writing, you will ignore the basics, making people mistakenly think that Li Si was reused because of his brilliant writing. "

"Under the influence of the above and below, everyone is proud of the magnificent writing, but the original meaning of the writing has been lost, and the practice of calligraphy has become a arena for all parties to compete for beauty."

"Square characters."

"The flag of Chinese civilization."

"The square characters are here, and the Chinese civilization will always be there!"

"Paying too much attention to whether the writing is magnificent or not is out of date and can be appreciated, but you don't need to boast too much. Correctness and neatness are the primary requirements for writing."

"It's the only requirement!"

Ying Zheng smiled, nodded and said:
"Well said."

"Qin people should focus on being pragmatic."

"Excessive pursuit of magnificence and refinement is actually inferior."

Ying Zheng didn't say much about it, but changed the subject, and asked about Qin Luoheng's rewards, and asked, "I remember that the land you deserved when you were awarded the title has not been distributed yet, are you planning to give this land?" where to put it?"

Qin Luoheng hesitated for a moment.

Said:

"Anywhere."

"However, can I not grow food?"

Ying Zheng frowned and asked:
"Why?"

"The fields in Daqin are used to grow food."

Qin Luoheng hesitated and said:

"I think it's a bit of a waste."

"I want to use this hundred acres of land to plant something else."

"The chief official should also know that the vegetables that Daqin often eats are the 'five vegetables', sunflower, Huocai, scallions, leeks, and shallots."

"Of course there are gourds and muskmelons."

"besides."

"There are only wild vegetables, but wild vegetables are mainly bitter vegetables. As the saying in the Book of Songs says, "Pick bitterness and pick bitterness, under the first sun", the bitter taste of this bitter vegetable can be imagined. If there is really nothing to eat, the folks will not go there Eat this bitter vegetable."

"I can understand the imperial court's idea of ​​letting the people grow food."

"During the war, when there was a lack of clothing and food, it was true that food should be the main crop. Vegetables in the fields could only be grown in large quantities and ripened for more than a year. But now the world is stable."

"Should some changes be made?"

"In a world of great controversy, everything is dominated by war. It is true that we cannot easily make changes, because no one can predict how much impact these changes will have. But now I think the time is ripe, and I should take the initiative to make some attempts and changes."

Ying Zheng was indifferent.

Qin Luoheng continued:

"Change is always difficult."

"But if you stay the same all the time, can you always be right?"

"I do not think so."

"The chief official still remembers the green vegetables we ate earlier."

"That's also a kind of wild vegetable!"

"Few folks grow it, but I found that the yield of that kind of cabbage is not necessarily lower than that of Wucai, and the taste is obviously better than Wucai."

"In addition to Chinese cabbage, there are also water shield, winter melon, water bamboo, radish, etc."

"The people take food as their heaven."

"In wartime, there are wartime practices, and in peacetime, there are peaceful practices."

"I don't expect the government to promote it on a large scale. I just want the court to allow me to try it on my own field. If it succeeds, the folks will have more vegetables. If it fails, it will just start from scratch."

"I will pay the tax as it is!"

"Since the founding of the country, the first emperor has been determined to innovate."

"There are constant political actions, but I don't think it's comprehensive. The Great Qin has embraced the world. It should not only focus on the government and the opposition, but also care about the sufferings of the people and improve the basic necessities of life of the people."

"And food is the easiest!"

"Yes." Ying Zheng said suddenly.

Qin Luoheng was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Is it really possible?"

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Your suggestion is good, but it is only allowed to be tried on personal farms. The tax must be paid in full every year and cannot be in arrears. If the tax cannot be paid in full, the trial can only end here."

"in addition."

"Every vegetable you grow must be reported, and the harvest must be counted by the officials. If the harvest is not good for several years in a row, and the output cannot reach the output you said is better than the five vegetables, your attempt must also be stopped in time. .”

"Have you thought it through?"

Qin Luoheng got up, bowed respectfully and said:

"Thank you, chief official, for completeness."

Yingzheng said:

"The court is not forbidden to try."

"But in moderation!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't the great land be wasted there?"

"Speaking of fields."

"What do you think of Daqin's existing land system?"
