When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 70: Formulate policies with the merit list in hand!
The First Emperor remembered that Zhao Gao had been hiding under his nose for so many years.

To be honest, I kind of admire him.

Not far away, Meng Tian and Li Si were excitedly beating the sticks.

Even though the two of them tried very hard, they were also very sensible!
The First Emperor did not kill Zhao Gao directly.

He must have intended to save his life.

Don't let Zhao Gao die so easily.

"Ding, witness the Emperor calling a horse a deer, and gain 2 witness points!"

Zhu Ming opened the system and checked his current attributes.

Name: Zhu Ming;
Age: 20;

Life span: 20 (+);
Physical fitness: 18+;

Witness point: 2.

Add the 2 witness points you just got to your constitution.

A warm current flows through.

A lot of physical fatigue disappeared.

“We need to keep up the good work!”

The First Emperor found some guards.

Moved all the things out of the car.

The First Emperor said, "Li Si, Meng Tian, ​​you two should go back first. Remember, don't spread what happened in the past two days!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

The two of them also had a lot of stuff that one person couldn't carry.

The First Emperor arranged two carriages to take the two back.

"Haha, Xiao Zhu, what I have seen and heard these two days really opened my eyes. You can go back first. I won't see you off."

Zhu Ming opened his mouth in surprise.

"Brother Zheng, are you going to drive the guests away?"

The First Emperor was stunned for a moment: "Guest? Are you planning to stay here?"

Zhu Ming nodded: "Of course, I have brought my luggage, you won't let me go back like this, right?"

"This is not hospitality!"

"I also want to get to know the people and customs of Daqin and see how you hold court."

The First Emperor laughed and said, "I was afraid you wouldn't be used to living here, so I didn't ask!"

"If you want to stay here for a few days, Daqin will definitely welcome you!"

"You don't have to live outside. I'll find you a place in the palace. I guarantee it'll be much bigger than your bedroom."

"Except for my chambers, you can visit anywhere you want."

Zhu Ming: "Your guards here don't know me. What if they stab me?"

The First Emperor took a black token from his body and said, "Take this and you can walk freely in the Xianyang Palace."

"I can also command some of the guards!"

"I see that you are not young anymore and you are not married yet. You can just find some maids with it."

Zhu Ming happily took the token: "That's exactly what I want!"

"Then I'll go take a look first. I have to say, the starry sky here at night is really nice, better than that of the Sui Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty."

"It just so happens that the astronomical telescope I brought with me came in handy!"

The First Emperor was sitting in the imperial study.

The anger has not subsided yet.

"Someone, bring Hu Hai to me!"

Soon the fat little Hu Hai came before the First Emperor.

"My son has met my father!"

Looking at the little fat boy in front of him, the First Emperor felt a little itchy in his hands.

How come this was the child I liked so much before?

Now I find it more and more annoying!

"come over!"

A slap on the head.

"Do you know what mistake you made?"

Hu Hai was confused.

I was called in my sleep and thought it was a reward, but it turned out to be a beating!
Father, you never hit me before!

you've changed!
"I don't know, my father, please let me know!"

The First Emperor snorted coldly: "Then think carefully about what good things you have done!"

Hearing the First Emperor's angry voice, Hu Hai could not help but tremble.

With a frown on his face, he began to think hard about the bad things he had done recently and which punishment would be lighter for him.

"Father, I have thought of it!"

The First Emperor shouted: "Speak!"

Hu Hai was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground: "I beat up several guards!"

"Why? What mistakes did they make? Tell me the truth!"

"I asked them to challenge my eldest sister's guards, and they lost!"

The First Emperor's face turned pale as he thought of the historical records.

His eldest daughter was tortured to death by Hu Hai.

"Are you free? Why are you letting them do this?"

Hu Hai said aggrievedly: "My elder sister said I was disrespectful to my brother!"

The First Emperor said coldly: "Why don't you respect your brother?"

Hu Hai: "Who told him to report my teacher Zhao Gao?"

The First Emperor was so angry because of this.

I should not have let Zhao Gao teach Hu Hai.

"Bring me the whip!"

He beat Hu Hai severely.

Li Si returned home.

"Master, you are finally back. Where have you been these past two days? Several groups of people have come to the palace."

"There are still many guards outside!"

Li Si snorted coldly: "As a woman, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"

"Those guards outside will leave soon."

A man came to the study.

Taking out a thick stack of papers, Li Si stroked them affectionately.

"What a great thing! It's so convenient for writing and recording."

"I just don't know if it's difficult to make this kind of thing, if it requires high-level skills, and if it can be made in Daqin!"

Practice on the ground with a branch for a while.

I feel like I have mastered how to use the fountain pen.

So he wrote on the paper.

The achievements and faults of the First Emperor!
On the other side, Meng Tian came to the door of Meng Mansion.

Knock on the door.

The servant opened the door and said, "You barbarian, do you know where this is? How dare you knock on the door? Why don't you leave now!"

Meng Tian was furious. When he went out, the servants in his house didn't recognize him.

It's impossible that the Meng Mansion would change hands in such a short period of time!

Looking up, it was indeed the Meng Mansion.

"How dare you! I am Meng Tian, ​​the Patriarch of the Meng Family. How come you don't recognize me?"

The servant sneered, "You barbarian are so bold that you actually pretend to be the master of my family. Someone come here!"

In the blink of an eye, a group of people gathered around.

"This guy actually pretended to be the head of the family. Kill him!"

Two fists are no match for four hands.

Meng Tian was pressed to the ground and rubbed.

When he opened his mouth to explain, someone punched him in the teeth.

Let Meng Tian swallow the words in his mouth.

A fat beating.

He was tied up by several servants and handed over to the mistress for disposal.

"Madam, someone is pretending to be the master and has been caught by us. Please punish him, Madam!"

The mistress laughed angrily: "Well, there are still people who dare to pretend to be the head of our Meng family. How audacious! I want to see who is so bold!"

By candlelight, the mistress looked down.

With a puzzled look on his face, he actually looked a little familiar.

A bit like my master.

No wonder he dared to impersonate Meng Tian!

The mistress asked sternly, "Who are you?"

Meng Tian's mouth was stuffed, how could he speak? He kept struggling!
"Okay, you're still pretty tough. I think you're looking for a fight."

Meng Tian struggled, you spendthrift woman, take the rag out of my mouth!

"Someone, come and punish me!"

At this time Meng Yi came back.

Looking at the short-haired man tied there.

"Sister-in-law, who is this?"

"This man pretended to be your elder brother and was caught by the servants of the mansion. He is very stubborn and is about to be severely punished!"

Meng Yi became interested: "Big brother looks like that, and there is someone who looks very similar to him. Let me see him. Fuck, big brother, is that you?"

Woo woo woo.

Meng Tian cursed in his heart, I am strong and handsome, you are jealous!

Meng Yi took out the rag that was stuffed in Meng Tian's mouth.

"It's me, let me go!"

"You are so brave that you can't even recognize me!"

A few minutes later, Meng Tian sat on the main seat.

The mistress asked curiously, "Master, what's wrong with your hair?"

Meng Yi was also very curious and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to: "Yes, your hair and body are given by your parents. Why did you cut your hair? Someone will definitely report you tomorrow!"

Meng Tian stroked his proud short hair and said, "What do you two know? Don't you think this makes you look energetic and young?"

Meng Yi shook his head.

Meng Tian snorted coldly: "Wait until you cut your hair short, and then you will know!"

"Tomorrow, all the men in the Meng Mansion must cut their hair short!"

"Otherwise, you will be kicked out of the house!"

Meng Yi said with a bitter face: "Brother, it's not necessary!"

"In this case, what will the entire Xianyang City think of our Meng Mansion?"

Meng Tian said a new phrase he had learned: "I call this leading the fashion, what do they know!"

"Arrange a few servants to practice how to cut short hair!"

"It won't be long before short hair becomes the fashion in Xianyang City!"

What the hell is fashion? Meng Yi suddenly felt that the brother in front of him might really be fake.

Meng Tian asked, "Has nothing happened at home these two days?"

Meng Yi then remembered the important matter: "My dear brother, where have you been these two days? I was really worried to death." "I searched the entire Xianyang and its surroundings, except for the women's restroom, and I turned the ground everywhere else, but I couldn't find you!"

Meng Tian's face darkened. I feel like you are hinting at my elder brother: "This matter is of great importance. No one can reveal it without your majesty's permission."

"Don't ask!"

Meng Yi's face suddenly became serious: "Since it is your majesty's order, I won't ask!"

"However, can we just let the servants in the mansion cut my hair short tomorrow?"

"I don't need it!"

Meng Tian snorted coldly: "If you don't want to hide in the women's restroom, you can try it!"

early morning
Zhu Ming gets up early, which is rare.

I really can't sleep with the bed down.

Led by the palace maid, they came to the court hall.

At this time, the court meeting had already begun.

The First Emperor was holding the bamboo slips, but no one knew what he was looking at.

The minister knelt behind a small table, drowsy.

Leave a wide passage in the middle.

The hall is very quiet.

Zhu Ming's footsteps immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

Except Li Si and Meng Tian.

Everyone else had surprise on their faces!

Because of his short hair, Meng Tian was criticized by several ministers when he first attended the court!
Here comes another one that’s even more ferocious!

Not only did he have short hair, but he also wore strange clothes.

It doesn't look like the Qin Dynasty's attire!

The First Emperor asked curiously, "Haha, you got up pretty early today. What are you doing here?"

The ministers looked back and forth between the two with curious eyes.

Judging from your Majesty's expression, it seems that you know this person.

Zhu Ming: "Let me see how you go to court."

"How dare you be disrespectful in front of His Majesty!"

"If you want to attend court, you must abide by the rules of the Qin Empire. How can you dress like this?"

The First Emperor waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, this is a disciple of the immortal, you don't have to follow the rules of our dynasty, just find a place to sit!"

The minister was stunned. Disciple of an immortal?

I immediately came to the conclusion that he must be a charlatan.

There is no such thing as an immortal!
But due to the majesty of the First Emperor, they had to turn a blind eye.

Wait until the trick is exposed, then you can clean him up and kill him!
Meng Tian stood up and greeted with a smile: "Xiao Zhu, come on, come on, sit next to me!"

"Their hair smells, don't sit with them!"

Zhu Ming was speechless. I don’t know anyone here except you and Li Si.

Walking to Meng Tian, ​​Zhu Ming took out a folding stool from his body.

Sitting there in full view of everyone.

The First Emperor's eyelids twitched.

Only after sitting on a bench can you realize how comfortable it is.

I was still kneeling there stupidly. I will move the sofa over here tomorrow.

Wouldn’t it be great to sit on the sofa during court in the future?
Zhu Ming looked around curiously.

The overall interior decoration is similar to that in the TV series.

Zhu Ming couldn't even tell the unique features of the decorations from different dynasties.

From time to time, ministers would come with memorials.

"Father, I think we should use the feudal system. This will quickly stabilize the world and make the nobles of the six countries grateful and completely submit to the Qin Dynasty from now on!"

Zhu Ming looked at the elegant young man who was reporting in surprise.

He looks good, but he's a little crazy!
Use a feudal system.

It is estimated that it won’t be long before the scenes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period will appear.

What is the significance of Qin unifying the six kingdoms?
"Lao Meng, who is this person? Why does he look like an idiot?"

Meng Tian hurriedly whispered: "This is the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, Fusu. The son is talented and kind. You must say this."

Zhu Ming nodded: "So it was Fusu, no wonder he advocated the feudal system, it seems he was really fooled."

Li Si stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible!"

"Daqin must never adopt the feudal system!"

"In the past, the Zhou emperor divided the world into fiefdoms, which eventually led to hundreds of years of war during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!"

"If the Qin Dynasty is like this, it will surely make the same mistake again!"

"What's the point of my Great Qin unifying the world?"

Fusu: "Prime Minister Li is wrong!"

"The Qin army is strong, even if the world is divided, no one dares to rebel."

"On the contrary, I will be grateful from the bottom of my heart and identify more with Daqin!"

Li Si: "Today, the Qin army is strong!"

"If one day the military strength of the Qin Dynasty weakens, will the feudal princes still be afraid of the Qin Dynasty?"

"Maybe they will join hands to destroy Daqin at that time!"

"The world will once again fall into war, and hundreds of millions of people will be displaced!"

"When that time comes, what do you think we should do?"

Fusu: "As long as you advise the princes well, what Li Xiang is worried about will not happen."

The First Emperor had a headache.

His eldest son Fusu is good in every way.

It's just that this brain has been fooled by Confucianism.

If the Qin Dynasty had been established for more than a hundred years, he might still be able to be a king who maintains the status quo!
But the Qin Dynasty had just been unified.

You have to intimidate the nobles of the six countries.

At least a few generations will have to survive before the Qin Dynasty can fully integrate.

The First Emperor began to think about his other sons.

I found that most of my sons were brainwashed by Confucianism.

Do you want to practice the trumpet again?

Or see if you can find a way to achieve immortality.

"You two should stop arguing. I have already decided to abolish the feudal system. Great Qin will no longer be allowed to divide the world into fiefdoms!"

Fusu was very anxious: "Father, please think twice!"

The First Emperor ignored him and looked down at the paper handed over by Li Si.

Abolish the feudal system and establish the county system.

Half of it has been completed, but as for the specific content of the county system, more consideration is needed.

I feel good. At least one of the great achievements that will be remembered for generations has been achieved.

Look at the next item, unification of writing, currency, and weights and measures.

The First Emperor had already discovered this problem before the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms.

The six countries were not destroyed together, but one by one.

It wasn't so obvious when we killed the first one.

When two or three are destroyed, the disadvantages have already appeared.

Government policies were not implemented because there were too few literate people in ancient times.

The Qin Dynasty was unable to provide enough officials for the newly acquired territory.

Many of the original officials will definitely be used.

When an order is passed down, sometimes low-level officials cannot understand the words.

I have no idea what the decree expresses.

We can only send someone to inquire.

Then when the files from the bottom level are submitted to the upper level, the upper level cannot understand them.

I have to find someone to explain it to me.

The problem gets worse as more countries are eliminated.

It was just that we were busy with unification at that time and had no time or energy to eliminate the drawbacks.

That's the text.

Currency is even more of a headache.

The currencies of different countries are different. They can be used in one place, but cannot be used in another place.

Seriously affect the development of commercial economy.

The First Emperor recalled that he used to bring enough money with him when he went to eat, but when it came time to pay the bill, people would not acknowledge it at all.

I had no choice but to stay and wash the dishes to pay off the debt!

I will cry if I continue!

The First Emperor gave Li Si a look, and Li Si stepped out again.

"Your Majesty, the seven major powers of the Warring States period had different writing systems, currencies, weights and measures, etc."

"Now that the world is unified, if all places continue to use the same methods as before, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate!"

"It is not conducive to national stability and will greatly hinder the development of business!"

"I think it's time to unify the writing system, currency, and weights and measures, so that the Qin Empire can have the same writing system and the same wheels. This way, the Qin Empire can be integrated, and there will no longer be the trouble of the seven kingdoms fighting!"

The problem Li Si mentioned.

All the ministers around knew it.

For the old Qin people, it doesn’t matter.

Even if they agree, they will definitely focus on the former Qin State.

The changes won't be huge.

But for the nobles and remnants of the six countries, it was definitely a big blow!

"I will reconsider!"

Li Si's proposal was supported by the vast majority of people.

If Daqin is stable, their status will also be stable.

Some officials whose ancestral home countries were in the six countries knew that they could not stop it.

"Your Majesty, can you please keep some bamboo slips from the six countries? These are precious treasures!"

The First Emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay, but the bamboo slips that are kept need to be reviewed!"

Zhu Ming was a little excited. He didn't expect that he would be able to witness the implementation of these policies with his own eyes.

"Ding, witness the Qin Dynasty unifying the writing system, currency, and weights and measures. From now on, the writing system will be unified, and the wheels will be unified. You will be awarded 2 witness points!"

,

In the royal study
The First Emperor and Li Si were discussing the details.

Zhu Ming said: "If you are worried, you can refer to us!"

"After all, even if you do it, as history evolves, it might end up being the same as ours!"

"Besides, if you become like us, it will be much more convenient for you to study in Daqin in the future!"

Li Si's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, this is feasible!"

The First Emperor was a little worried.

Things like currency and weights and measures are easy to deal with.

But the writing might be difficult.

It was directly transformed into simplified characters, and even the Qin Dynasty had to learn it all over again.

Zhu Ming: "You can simplify them in batches. There are only 3,000 or 4,000 commonly used characters. If you use them for ten or twenty years, it probably won't cause too much trouble!"
