Chapter 115 The First Emperor's Personal Secretary
Xia Wuju frowned...

The reason why I came here specifically to describe it is mainly because of the body of the first emperor, and at the same time let Zhao Si know something about it.

Now that Zhao Si is in the emperor's heart, it is a good thing that the first emperor can get close to him and make him feel happy.

I'm afraid that this kid is arrogant because he is favored and arrogant, he doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and he will annoy the first emperor, Zhao Si's loss of closeness is the next thing, if it hurts the first emperor's mood, it will be a big deal.

Obviously...Zhao Si understood Xia Wuqie's subtext.

But even so, Zhao Si was still terribly frightened, but fortunately, under the gentle comfort of the maid, he suppressed his restless emotions.

A moment later, Zhao Si, who was refreshed and full of energy, got up and went straight to his farmland.

The fifteen hectares of fields are now filled with almost all the crops in Daqin, including all vegetables and grains.

Because it has just been planted not long ago, and there are still no sprouts yet, Zhao Si is not in a hurry, just patrolling the fields as usual, during which time, he keeps the halo of raw jade fully fired.

In the field, there are still officials busy in it, ready to weed and pest control, and monitor the growth. Zhao Si's farming is to grow food, so of course he must pay attention to it.

If it was just for farming, then Zhao Si would be unable to make ends meet by mobilizing people like this, but fortunately, Zhao Si is the head of the family, so there is no need to explain to others, even if the farming ministers have doubts, they dare not question Zhao Si's decision .

"What's planted here... is the future of Daqin!" After patrolling the cultivated land for nearly an hour, taking care of every corner of the [-]-acre field, Zhao Si was now on the ridge. Long emotion.

Right now, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are just appetizers, and the real event will be when the vegetables in the fields are plentiful and spread around the world as grain.

Tour is over, drive back...

After dinner, sleep peacefully under the service of the maids.

Until the next day, Zhao Si got up very early in the morning and went straight to Dianmao, the Lang Zhongling's office. After Dianmao, he went straight to the palace.

The current Emperor Shi Huang had just had breakfast and sat down before the table for a long time.

"Minister Zhao Si, see Your Majesty!" Zhao Si bowed and saluted, and then entered the room to accompany him.

"Look at these..." Shi Huang glanced at Zhao Si, Xia Wuqiu was right, this kid was really likable, the vigor and youthful aura was really easy to infect the surroundings.

Zhao Si immediately turned sideways and took over a large pile of bamboo slips pushed by the First Emperor, it was really a large pile, and the top of the table was piled up like a hill.

Zhao Si heard the sound and opened the memorial, which was all the memorials of officials from various places about the listing of three new grains.

There are those who sing praises, some who directly call auspiciousness, and some who want to offer other auspiciousness. Of course, most of them still ask the court for more grain.

As time passed, news of the production of three new grains with yields as high as [-] jin per mu gradually spread throughout the world.

Of course, only the nobles or the government had the first-hand information, and most of the heads of Guizhou only vaguely knew that the fleet that Xu Fu sailed to sea had returned, bringing back auspiciousness.

They didn't even know that it wasn't Xu Fu who came back, but Zhao Si.

"Now that new grains are produced and the world is in peace, how should the three kinds of new grain seeds be prepared?" Shi Huang asked.

"Sweet potato seeds can be planted in poor areas. This kind of thing consumes more land. If there are already good fields with water canals, there is no need to promote it too much. If you promote it too much, it may be counterproductive. Corn can be allocated in various places.

Potatoes are relatively cold-resistant. In the Northeast, they can be promoted and planted, and there are enough living people. " Zhao Si said.

The First Emperor nodded, and then motioned for Zhao Si to sit down.

"This is the payment list for the counties and counties last year. In the next few days, you can come up with a charter and distribute it to the localities." Shihuang pointed to the shelf full of bamboo slips piled up beside him and said.

Zhao Si is most familiar with the characteristics of the three new grains, and professional matters must be handed over to professional people. They are here, and it is impossible for Zhao Si to do nothing and just follow around dryly.

Zhao Si immersed himself in hard work, and during the period, he did not forget to open the halo of uncut jade to cover the first emperor.

The First Emperor continued to bow down to handle government affairs.

"Find out Nanyang's memorial table from last year..."

On the way of Zhao Si's work, Emperor Shihuang asked Zhao Si to find documents and books more than once.

This is the case with government affairs, not only by looking at the current government affairs, but also by comparing them with previous memorials, so that we can see the clues from the subtleties.

Zhao Si never tired of doing it, and while handling the tasks assigned to him by the first emperor, he also acted as the first emperor's private secretary.

"Naga in the northeast is actually within the territory of the Great Qin... the black land!" Zhao Si sighed.

It's a pity that the place is too cold, the kind of cold that can really freeze people to death. Potatoes can be grown there, but without effective cold protection conditions, it is still not suitable for large-scale gatherings of humans.

"The development of this place is more difficult than Baiyue. As long as Baiyue is cured of malaria, the problem will not be serious. This place will not be successful until cotton and coal are put into use." Zhao Si sighed.

Now there is not much permafrost within the territory of Daqin, and the area further east to north has not yet been occupied.

"There can be more potatoes in this place, which can barely be used as rations."

"The yield per mu in this place is actually only [-] catties?" Zhao Si was speechless inwardly.

"The population is small, the land is barren and barren, so put more sweet potato seeds."

"Guanzhong is full of fertile soil and fertile land. A symbolic amount of corn, potato and sweet potato seeds is enough. In addition to the rotation of corn and wheat, there is no need to spend too much effort to promote sweet potatoes and potatoes, wasting good fertile land."

"There is actually two hundred catties of grain in central Sichuan! There is Dujiangyan... that's fine!"

This is Zhao Si's first contact with the production details of various places. Theoretically speaking, it is basically impossible for these data to be released if they are less than the Sangong Jiuqing.

Zhao Si, a small servant, as the first emperor's personal secretary, can check it at will, which makes Zhao Si never tire of it.

Compared with those ancient books, these food collection and government affairs reports from various places recorded the most authentic data and current situation of Daqin.

The First Emperor greeted Zhao Si from time to time and asked Zhao Si to look for the books and memorials he needed. Zhao Si devoted himself to data recording and reading after he was busy.

Although this is not the most accurate data of Daqin at present, it is already the most complete data that can be found at this stage.

It is worth mentioning that during this journey, every time Zhao Si searched for memorials and books for the First Emperor as required, he would take the time to write down the arrangement and order of the memorials and books.

Perhaps it was because of the halo of uncut jade. After one morning, Zhao Si was still clumsy at first, and even had to wait for the first emperor to find the corresponding documents. Now, the first emperor only needs to open his mouth, and Zhao Si can send the required memorials in an instant. turn up.

Obviously, Zhao Si has invested in and started to adapt to the position of the first emperor's personal secretary.

The first emperor looked at Zhao Si who was working so hard and showed a smile on his face. Zhao Si's greatest strengths were his eyesight and wisdom. Although he had no foundation in many things, he was willing to learn, and he learned quickly.

If Zhao Si was really an elm lump, no matter how much the First Emperor got close to Zhao Si, now he would let Zhao Si hold a halberd at the palace gate to be a personal guard.

"Your Majesty, it's already noon, do you want some food?" Zhao Si was busy for a long time, until he moaned slightly in his stomach, and when he looked up, he saw that the sun was high.

Emperor Shihuang put down the brush when he heard the words, looked up and forgot to glance at the sky, feeling really hungry, nodded and said: "Take him there!"

Zhao Gao, who had been waiting outside the door like a transparent person, bowed and saluted after hearing the sound, and led Zhao Si straight to the dining place in the palace.

"Master Zhao, please..." Zhao Gao led the way, speaking softly, without any emotion.

Not only that, but on the way, Zhao Gao also thoughtfully explained to Zhao Si the food and drinks that the first emperor liked to eat, and at the same time talked about the habits of the first emperor, which made Zhao Si somewhat uncomfortable.

In fact, theoretically speaking, Zhao Si stole Zhao Gao's job.

For example, sorting out official documents, including preparing meals for the first emperor, etc...

However, Zhao Gao didn't show any emotion, instead he gave all his money, which surprised Zhao Si.

There is no need to go into too much detail about Zhao Gao in history. Zhao Si was not stupid and sweet. While writing down the precautions Zhao Gao said, he was laughing and laughing at Zhao Gao.

But thinking about it carefully, it is true, Meng Yi once wrote to execute Zhao Gao, and he did not see any disrespect towards Meng Yi from Zhao Gao.

Zhao Si doesn't like Zhao Gao, and knows that Zhao Gao is not a good person, but Zhao Si knows that Zhao Gao is definitely not stupid.

"I always feel uneasy..." Under preconceptions, Zhao Si was wary of all of Zhao Gao's actions.

The most important thing is that there are different opinions about the death of Shaqiu, the first emperor. Some people even suggested that Zhao Gao was the mastermind behind the scenes. Although Zhao Si did not believe that the first emperor could be put together by Zhao Gao, but a person like Zhao Gao who has been stinking for thousands of years is still heart-wrenching. Think about it.

Walking to the kitchen in the palace, the two waited for the meal inside.

Zhao Gao also introduced Zhao Si's responsibilities and positions in the palace in a gentle voice, just like giving Zhao Si an induction training, quite full of details.

When the imperial chef in the palace prepared the food, Zhao Si picked up the food and came to the first emperor with Zhao Gao.

"Your Majesty, please have a meal!" Zhao Si bowed and saluted, cleaned up the table, and served the meals one by one.

"Go back!"

The First Emperor waved his hand, Zhao Gao immediately bowed to accept the order, and retreated outside the door silently, Zhao Si also wanted to leave when he heard the sound, but was waved by the First Emperor to stay.

"Sit down and eat together!" Shi Huang looked at Zhao Si with a playful smile on his face.

Hearing this, Zhao Si had to sit down and eat with Shi Huangdi. In fact, Zhao Si didn't want to be so outrageous, but maybe it was Shi Huangdi's bad taste?

In short, Zhao Si and Zhao Gao, one retreated outside the door, and the other stayed inside to eat together, so that Zhao Si always felt that Zhao Gao's eyes were burning as if he was right behind him.

The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si who was sitting upright and didn't say anything, just enjoyed the meal quietly.

Leaving aside other things, Zhao Si's professional ability has improved quite quickly, and it is true that as Xia Wuqiu said, after Zhao Si stays by his side, his mood will be much better.

Even his mental state has improved a lot, at least after the exhaustion of the previous morning, the current Emperor Shihuang should be exhausted.

After Zhao Si's arrival, he is now full of energy and has a big appetite, which is an obvious fact.

The first emperor had the heart to train Zhao Si, otherwise he would not have entrusted so many things to Zhao Si, and even entrusted Zhao Gao's affairs to Zhao Si.

In the following treatment plan, Zhao Si will stay with him for a long time, but the things around the Emperor Shihuang are full of arrangements. Zhao Si can't see what Meng Yi can do, and he is not capable enough, but he can do the trivial things that Zhao Gao did. It is possible, and it can also play a role in training Zhao Si.

"How's it going?" After the meal, Emperor Shi Huang looked at Zhao Si and asked.

"I have some clues. Within three or two days, it is enough to complete the deployment." Zhao Si replied honestly.

The matter of sub-seeds involves all counties and counties across the country, so it must be handled carefully.

The First Emperor knelt down in front of the table, watching Zhao Si bury his head in hard work with long eyes.

Right now, the news of the explosive production of the three new grains will gradually detonate the world, and the public opinion slander from the remnants of the Six Kingdoms seems insignificant in front of the three new grains.

The popularization of the three new grains is the general trend, and it is something that no one can stop. Even if the remnants of the six countries unite together, they cannot stop the popularization of the three new grains. The destiny of Daqin will only become thicker and thicker. heavier!
It is better to be able to eat than to say a thousand words and ten thousand!
Li Shu's desire is nothing more than living, only nobles can pursue how they should live.

So what's next?What will the remnants of the Six Kingdoms do?What countermeasures will be made?

In such an era where destiny and monarchy are unclear, the three new grains are more useful than anything else, so what kind of moves will the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, who are at their wits' end, use?

The first emperor was very curious!
……

"Five thousand catties per mu?" Kuaiji, the prefect's mansion, Uncle Xiang looked at Yin Tong, the prefect of Kuaiji, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"How is it possible? The King of Qin must have been coaxed by alchemists again. How can there be a grain yield of five thousand catties per mu?" Xiang Bo shook his head and laughed.

"In the past, when Xu Fu went out to sea to search for immortals, he spoke convincingly, but he hasn't returned yet? Why don't we talk about this, maybe you can give me some armor here?" Xiang Bo explained his purpose.

"The yield per mu is [-] catties. The evidence is conclusive. I didn't quite believe it at the beginning. Now it is the news from the Xianyang government. I have already written a letter asking for seeds. Soon, Xianyang will send seeds to Kuaiji to promote planting. In the future Included in the performance examination school." Yin Tong waved his hand, then sat down on his own and shook his head to look at Uncle Xiang.

"The matter of the armor, don't mention it again in the future!"

Xiang Bo's face was suffocated when he heard the sound, and the majestic man who was two meters tall and full of oppression frowned when he heard the sound, and stepped forward slightly, but was stopped by Xiang Bo.

Yin Tong didn't care about this, he was the prefect of Kuaiji and the head of a place.

"Five thousand catties per mu, I think you know the meaning better than me." Yin Tong said in a deep voice.

"Even if it is promoted, the output will drop, let alone five thousand catties, it will be five hundred catties..." Yin Tong pointed.

"The sheriff doesn't need to say more!" Xiang Bo waved his hand, turned around and took Xiang Yu to leave.

"Five thousand catties!" Yin Tong sighed slightly as he watched Uncle Xiang leave.

The Xiang family, what is it compared to the grain yield of five thousand catties per mu?What are the remnants of the Six Kingdoms compared to the five thousand catties of grain per mu?
 I barely wrote a chapter, readers, gentlemen, please forgive me, I don’t know eunuchs.
