Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

In addition, there is a hidden benefit of being a soldier.

Because of the popularization of the missionary officer system, in the future all soldiers of the garrison will complete literacy studies while receiving military law and ideological education, with the minimum standard of being able to read and write.

Those who can read and write and are familiar with laws and regulations can actually take the county and county examinations and become grassroots officials.

This makes it impossible for those who are eager to stand out from the crowd to refuse their temptation!
Therefore, as soon as the recruitment order for the guards in the various counties of the Great Qin Dynasty was issued, Erlang, who volunteered to recruit, immediately followed like a cloud, almost breaking through the gate of the conscription office.

The garrison generals were blissfully snotty, selecting the best from among the best, and directly improving the quality of their soldiers by a large margin.

Those who were selected were naturally ecstatic, and became the envy of the village as a good young man. The matchmaker who proposed marriage almost broke the threshold!
And those who were dismissed and failed can only envy and hate, and start to exercise their physical fitness in their spare time, in order to wait for the conscription election in the coming year...

"They're all a bunch of beasts eating fodder. They're not human at all. I, a pawn who has been on the battlefield, are actually being compared to a bunch of beasts. It's bad luck~!"

In Xiyangli, Anlu County, South County, he took a sip of the newly brewed Xialiang rice wine in surprise, and cursed angrily in his mouth.

The two elder brothers, Zhong and Heifu, listened to the younger brother's complaints, and could only comfort them with wry smiles: "You are already the father of three children, and there is still one waiting to be born in the womb, so don't fight with the younger ones anymore. Live your life steadily..."

"At our age, our brains are already rigid. Even if we can learn French and literacy in the Garrison Army Middle School, it is definitely not as good as those young students. It is better to let your eldest son go to the newly opened official primary school in the village."

Startled, he drank the rice wine in the glass, and resentfully said: "That naughty ghost, if you can learn well, it will be a strange thing. Later, I will exchange some new food for a few lambs and piglets, and it will be reasonable for that naughty ghost to feed them. When they grow up, our family can eat them." Butchering, eating, and selling it to the county town is a lot of money."

Heifu frowned, stopped him from drinking, and reprimanded: "Don't ruin our son's future for the sake of immediate gain. There is no need to study in the official primary school, and the son can learn Fa, etiquette, and mathematics after he goes to school." Calculate."

"After three years, you will be able to achieve something in your studies. If you can be admitted to a university, it will be even more terrible. Where can you find such a beautiful thing?"

Zhong also followed suit: "What you're saying is, you can't delay our son's future. Your second brother has a military title, but he can only be a low-level official. Why?"

"In the end, it's nothing more than suffering from shallow knowledge!"

"In the Great Qin Dynasty from now on, military exploits will be respected, and knowledge will be the most important. If our children want to stand out, both are indispensable!"

Shocked by the two elder brothers, he had nothing to say, stroked his short beard and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "The official primary school in the village, can we go to attend and study in our free time?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhong and Heifu couldn't help being stunned.

Yes.

Wouldn't it be great if you could listen and study in your free time?
"If the law does not prohibit it, it is feasible. It should be possible to attend and study... right?" Heifu replied hesitantly.

Zhong put down the lacquer cup directly, and said hesitantly: "Anyway, I have nothing to do, so call my son out, let's go and enroll him in school, and by the way, ask the master if you can go and listen!"

"Extremely."

"Extremely!"

Heifu and Jing also put down the lacquer cup together.

The three brothers reached an agreement, and happily headed to the township primary and secondary school, grabbing the big baby Jing who was peeing and muddy.

……

……

"Ai Qing, have you received all the gambling money?"

In the Xianyang Palace in Guanzhong, Ying Zheng saw Qin Mo leading a group of attendants carrying large and small boxes into the palace, and he couldn't help being surprised and said with surprise.

Qin Mo smiled and said, "Exactly."

Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hand and asked in anticipation, "How much?"

Qin Mo took out a list and asked Zhao Gao to forward it to Ying Zhengdao: "I received about 70 taels in cash."

"There are others who can't turn around and can't pay the gambling money in cash. They can be exchanged with commercial goods. The conversion into gold is about 50 taels."

"This round of gambling, a total of about 120 million taels of gold!"

Ying Zheng's beard twitched when he heard this, and he jumped up happily.

Putting aside the conversion of goods, just 70 taels of cash is enough to make people ecstatic, and it is indeed an astronomical figure.

You know, the gold reserves in the Daqin treasury are only 40 catties now.

The gamble organized by Qin Mo earned more than 70 taels from the envoys of various countries and Hu merchants. Taking Qin's current standard of ten taels per catty, after conversion, it was more than 7 catties of gold.

Nearly one-fifth of the treasury's gold reserves!
"Open all the boxes and cages, let me take a look..."

Ying Zheng excitedly rushed up the steps of His Majesty, and asked the waiters to open the big and small boxes, showing greedy looks without hesitation, and looked at the golden cakes inside one by one.

Seeing the golden cake in good condition, I reached out to pick it up and play with it.

It looked like a mouse fell into a rice bowl...

Of course, to be more accurate, it should be a greedy dragon who got into the treasure cave!

"The [-] catties of gold are divided into His Majesty's dividends, and the merchants left by me will be sold slowly." Qin Mo said at the right time.

Ying Zheng was overjoyed at first, but immediately put down the fine gold cake in his hand, and said with a straight face: "No way, how can I take advantage of Ai Qing... Ai Qing needs to bring back ten thousand catties!"

Commodities worth [-] jin of gold, plus [-] jin of cash, will give Qin Mo [-], which is exactly equal to the two.

Qin Mo raised his hands with emotion and said, "It's enough if His Majesty has the heart."

"However, since I sent them all here, there is absolutely no reason to carry them back. Let it be the betrothal gift I gave to the three princesses!"

Just kidding, the commercial goods worth [-] catties of gold are almost all foreign commercial goods for sale in Daqin at this stage.

Before the next batch of foreign goods was shipped to Daqin, Qin Mo was the only seller, forming a de facto monopoly.

As long as the operation and sales are proper, the gold obtained during the intermediary will not be [-] catties of gold, and [-] catties of gold is not impossible.

Therefore, in the end it was he who took advantage of Ying Zheng, not Ying Zheng who took advantage of him.

And the sages have said that what is taken in advance must be given first. At this time, if you give Ying Zheng some sweetness, he will know it in the future and will not say anything more!
"Well, that's fine!"

Ying Zheng didn't know about Qin Mo's little Jiujiu, so he accepted the ten-thousand-jin golden gift with a smile on his face: "Aiqing... no, it's the son-in-law who has a heart."

Qin Mo: "..."

Qin Mo's skin got goose bumps when he heard the sound of a good son-in-law, and he felt indescribably awkward.

So, he bowed awkwardly and said: "This is what the minister should do, please Your Majesty... no, please choose the date of engagement."

Ying Zheng: "..."

Ying Zheng was also caught off guard by the sound of his father, his scalp was so numb, and his heart was also extremely awkward.

So, the Weng and the son-in-law stared at each other with eyes wide open, their expressions were as if they were constipated.

"If not, in the future...you will still be called a monarch and a minister?"

"Very good."

Weng and his son-in-law reached an agreement without hesitation on the issue of titles, and what has been done before will be the same in the future.

Ying Zheng scratched his numbing scalp, only a wry smile in his heart.

He always thought that he treated Qin Mo as his nephew, but now it seems that he is not.

But a more complicated and subtle relationship, such as monarch and minister, father and son, mentor, friend, brother... brother?
Ying Zheng shook his head violently, threw out his miscellaneous thoughts, and turned his attention to the large and small boxes of gold.

A smile appeared on his face again.

Well, looking at Huang Cancan is very satisfying!
"By the way, the envoys of various countries and Hu merchants have lost so much money...how is the current situation?"

Ying Zheng raised his head suddenly and asked Qin Mo.

There was a trace of compassion on Qin Mo's face, and he said with emotion: "One word, miserable~!"

Ying Zheng suddenly became interested, and forced a smile to say: "What a tragedy?"

Qin Mo didn't hold back, and said bluntly: "The envoys of all countries are treated with courtesy, at least food and clothing are not a problem, while the warriors in the envoys are doing hard work everywhere to make money. After earning enough for the journey, they will return to their country. "

"As for the Hu merchants...Because they don't need cash when placing bets that day, they can place bets at will after mortgaging customs clearance documents, so many Hu merchants miscalculated their financial resources."

"If you lose everything, you lose everything, or if you sell the entire caravan as slaves!"

Ying Zheng was both amused and stunned when he heard it: "No wonder he earned so much gold and goods in a single game. It turned out that he had harvested all the Hu merchants in Xianyang..."

As he said that, he instructed Zhao Gao: "Gaming games are harmful to people. This matter should be drafted as an imperial edict to inform the people all over the world. Take it as a warning!"

A few days ago, he just made fun of the embarrassing incident of envoys from various countries sending warriors to participate in the military parade.

Now it's time to take the envoys of various countries and Hu merchants again, and make fun of those who lose in gambling.

Just don't be too unscrupulous!

However, this kind of thing that involves the game between countries and each other's face can really unite the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Yingzheng never tires of it!
"Here."

Zhao Gao bowed his hands, respectfully accepted the order with no expression on his face, and then sat down on the table under the steps of his majesty, and quickly began to draft the imperial edict.

Ying Zheng turned to look at Qin Mo, who seemed to be about to say goodbye and run away, and said, "The western Qiang tribes want to join us, so I intend to choose a day to go out in person to meet the Qiang people, and then reward them personally as a token of respect."

"If this matter is done properly, it can be regarded as an example for Jizi Joseon in Liaodong, as well as Fuyu, Sushen and other nations."

"At Jieshi, Aiqing should be the driver. Whenever I go back and forth to visit my own Hexi Kingdom, as the king is not in the country all the year round, I don't even go back to visit. It's not justified."

"Secondly, let's get married in the Hexi Kingdom. As the king of the Hexi Kingdom, Aiqing should get married in the Hexi Kingdom, so that the subjects can congratulate her!"

This is considered to be the wedding date.

Qin Mo respectfully said: "As the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the subject and the three princesses will follow His Majesty's advice and arrangement."

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "Good, that's the deal."

Qin Mo didn't say any more, bowed his hands and retreated, and left the hall.

However, when he walked to the gate of the palace, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned his head and said loudly: "After your Majesty leaves the fortress, it is best to destroy one or two noisy small countries outside the Western Regions, first knock the mountains and shake the tigers, and then accept the surrender of the Western Qiang tribes. "

"In this way, the tribes of Western Qiang can understand, and even the tribes of Liaodong can understand... those who follow Qin will prosper, and those who oppose Qin will perish!"

Yingzheng Danfeng's eyes lit up, he nodded again and again and said: "Okay, what a knock on the mountain to shake the tiger, what a good one who follows the Qin Dynasty prospers and who opposes the Qin Dynasty perishes, this is the strategy to go out of the fortress."

Qin Mo bowed his hands, without stopping at all, and strode out of the hall.

Ying Zheng watched Qin Mo's back disappear outside the hall, and immediately excitedly went to check the large and small boxes of gold: "Tsk tsk, beautiful, ruthless, beautiful~!"

……

……

Qin Mo walked out of the palace gate all the way, and strolled back to his villa.

"Put away all your energy..."

"Do you know what it means to be noble, reserved, dignified and holy?"

"Look at the two of them if you don't know, and learn a little bit!"

In the courtyard of the villa, Yu Ji, Yuan Man, and Lu Xiaomei are training a group of beautiful orchids.

Queen Pasode and her little girl, Anneve, stood aside and acted like babies, letting Orchid learn their manners.

However, the learning effect does not seem to be very satisfactory. The mother and daughter's arrogance and restraint, dignity and holiness are the temperament cultivated since childhood, just like Yuan Man.

If Hu Ji, who entertains people with sex, learns, she will only learn a sense of charm that makes men want to commit crimes, just like playing with colored Cosplay, just like Yu Ji once imitated Yuan Man's manners, and Qin Mo Play tricks in general.

Qin Mo shook his head as he watched, and said, "There's no need to waste your time. Temperament is cultivated over the years, not overnight..."

"Create a gold-plated goddess mask for each of them, and just wear it on the face. It will still look mysterious and can bluff people!"

After hearing this, Yu Ji, Yuan Man, and Lu Xiaomei let out a sigh of relief, and Pasadei and her daughter were also relieved.

These orchids are too difficult to train. To make them look like pious and holy fire worshipers to Yan Yanxing, the difficulty is comparable to heaven!

"Bring a charcoal pencil and white paper. I'll draw a mask pattern with Zoroastrian characteristics, and ask my husband and grandson to find a craftsman from Shaofu to make it."

"okay."

Cheng Heli agreed, and hurriedly went to the villa, brought out a small table, followed by Lu Zhi, holding charcoal pencils and white paper.

Seeing that Lu Zhi had dark circles under his eyes, Qin Mo instructed, "Don't stay in your room all the time dealing with Hexi government affairs, come out to play when you have nothing to do, otherwise the more you deal with, the more old Wei Liao will send. That old man is used to taking an inch."

Lu Zhi smiled sweetly and said, "After all, it is the feudal state of a gentleman, and it will be passed on to his descendants in the future. How can we not be concerned?"

Qin Mo shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and muttered: "I didn't put much thought into it, what are you worrying about, it will all belong to Daqin sooner or later..."

"What did the gentleman say?"

"It's okay, I'll draw the mask."

Qin Mo took the charcoal pencil and white paper, lay down on the low table brought by the two children, and began to concentrate on painting.

Queen Pasode and Anneve came to watch, curious as to what kind of Zoroastrian mask pattern he, a pagan, could draw.

But they soon discovered that Qin Mo seemed to have a strong memory. The mask he drew had wings extending upwards from the ears and a flame between his eyebrows, which was exactly the same as the "winged figure" behind the holy place. The flame pattern is the same, even the complicated feather pattern and flame pattern are the same, it can be called a replica.

Moreover, the mask as a whole exudes a sense of fantasy, which is indeed very bluffing!

The mother and daughter withdrew their gazes, and immediately looked at each other with wry smiles. It seemed that it was inevitable to pretend to deceive the congregation...
