Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 116 The big hermit hides in the city!
"Erlang Mountain?"

……

Han Tan was stunned for a while, he didn't expect that Hu Hai would erect a monument.Regarding erecting a stele, emperors have done it since ancient times.Among them, the first emperor was the most prosperous.

The places where monuments can be erected are all national boundaries, or the top of Mount Tai.It was the first time Han Tan saw a plain monument standing on a hill.

After being stunned for a moment, Han Tan immediately bowed deeply and said, "Yes!"

……

"Report to Your Majesty, the sky will be dark, and I will rest in the guest house after going down the mountain." Ying Heng walked over quickly to report.

The clouds in the sky are rolling and relaxing, the sun is setting, and the afterglow renders the clouds in the sky into a golden red sunset.At first glance, there is a sense of being in a fairyland.

"I want you to stay here and watch the sun come out!"

"His Majesty……"

……

"Zi Heng, order Tie Ying Ruishi to hide in the city, and find out the situation of Dian Ke Dunwei!"

"Yes!" Ying Heng knew that he couldn't argue, so he turned and strode away.

Hu Hai turned around and smiled: "Come on, Han Tan, sit down and talk about what you've seen and heard along the way, and say whatever you want."

Han Tan laid out a big straw mat and brought a jar of yellow rice wine.Hu Hai and Han Tan Yingheng sat on the ground, staring at the waning moon in the sky, and talked about the trip to Longxi with a broad sea and sky.

……

"Your Majesty, the livelihood of the people in all parts of the Great Qin Dynasty, including the counties of Hanzhong, Bashu, and Shu, is still good. In the Longxi area, the disabled are at home, and there are no young and old, only the old and weak, women and children are left!" Han Tan said with a trace of solemnity, even more dignified.

"Especially the land of Longxi, which is even more barren." Ying Heng's eyes flashed brightly: "Your Majesty, if the land of Longxi is not rich and the foundation of the old Qin people is in turmoil, the Great Qin Empire will be in danger."

"Zi Heng, if you were the governor of Longxi County, how would you govern the people so that the country would be rich and the people strong?" Hu Hai looked at Ying Heng with great interest, his heart moved slightly.

After a long silence, Ying Heng sighed and said: "If I am the governor of Longxi County, I will reward farming and reiterate the law of land taxation."

"So, although Longxi County is rich, it takes a lot of time. It is not only time-consuming but also labor-intensive!" Hu Hai looked at the sky full of stars: "The Great Qin Empire can't wait!"

……

The three talked for a while, and it was already dusk.The three of them finished their evening soup hastily, and Hu Hai sat alone on the boulder, looking at Lintao City at the bottom of the mountain.

He will go all the way, what he sees and hears.As well as the poverty I have experienced, I can figure out a clue.

The night wind blows, and a bright moon hangs high.The Lintao City underneath seemed extremely small at this moment, and Hu Hai felt an unspeakable sense of comfort in vain.

"The majestic Minzhou, the thousand-year-old splendor is so majestic!" Hu Hai put down his wine bowl, staring at Lintao County, which was lit like shooting stars, and couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart.

……

"Your Majesty, it's past four o'clock, it's time to rest." A trace of worry flashed across Han Tan's eyes, and he couldn't help admonishing him.

"I know!"

The moon is in the middle of the sky until the fourth watch.Han Tan repeatedly urged Hu Hai to rest, but in desperation, Hu Hai just gave up and fell asleep without taking off his clothes.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the sun was just hanging on the top of Minshan Mountain.Hu Hai and his party had already finished washing and hurriedly used the soup cakes.Looking down the mountain, waiting for news from Tie Ying Rui Shi.

Hu Hai immersed himself in sorting out the bamboo slips engraved along the way, and transcribed all the numbers and conclusions recorded on more than ten pieces of parchment, and sewed them into a volume.

Regarding this point, Han Tan once wanted to do it for him, but Hu Hai refused.Hu Hai knew that only by knowing it personally could he experience the embarrassment of the Great Qin Empire at this moment.

"Report to Your Majesty, Dianke Dunwei's mansion is in the south of the city!" Tie Ying Ruishi hurried over.

Hu Hai put down his pen, stared at the red sun on the top of Minshan Mountain, and said softly: "Lead the way ahead, follow me to visit Dianke Dunwei!"

"Yes!"

……

Hu Hai knew that the reason why the Great Qin Empire at the time of the first emperor was so angry was that it was invincible to the world.It was entirely because the Great Qin Empire had a group of rare military and political planning talents at that time.

And Dianke Dunwei is one of the leftovers!
……

Because Dunwei is a hermit, it is not publicized.His mansion is located in one of the most unusual alleys in the south of Lintao City, neither too wide nor too narrow.

If it wasn't for someone with a heart, it would be extremely difficult to find out that there is a Dianke, one of the Nine Ministers of the Great Qin Empire, living in seclusion here.

The carriage field in front of Dunwei Mansion is very small, and there are few carriages and horses.Although the six-bay hall is spacious and majestic, there are only two guards.

This scene made the mansion look empty and deserted!
……

When a group of people set foot here, Hu Hai couldn't help laughing.Everything in front of him proved beyond a doubt that his guess about Dunwei was not wrong.

As expected of a person who has been in charge of the Black Ice Terrace for many years, the thought of choosing a mansion is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

There is a saying that big hermits hide in the city, and small hermits hide in the wild.To live in seclusion calmly and the world does not know, this is the real hermit.Seeing this, Hu Hai looked forward to Dunwei even more.

"Knock!"

"Yes!"

……

"Who are you?" Looking down at Hu Hai, who had a dark complexion and was covered in ragged clothes, he looked down with a bad look.

"After the old man, I'm here to pay a visit to Dianke!" A teasing smile overflowed from the corner of Hu Hai's mouth: "My old man, hurry up and report, Dianke won't be gone!"

"Dare to ask, sir, are you from Xianyang?"

Glancing at the old man, Hu Hai smiled calmly: "I am indeed from Xianyang, and the old man just needs to tell Mr. Dunruo one thing—Jiu Lao Qin, let's go to the national crisis together, that's it."

"it is good!"

Being able to be a weak family elder has extraordinary eyesight.Although Hu Hai looked sloppy, his speech and tone were generous and majestic.

The old man knows that the current world is chaotic.Even noble sons have times when they are in trouble.For a while, the elders did not dare to underestimate Hu Hai.

……

The old man left, and came back after a while.

"My lord, please—" The old man bowed solemnly, and turned to lead the way.

"Okay!" Hu Hai shook his head: "Lead the way—"

Hu Hai waved his hand, Han Tan and Ying Heng followed.A group of people walked into Dunwei's mansion calmly.At that moment, Hu Hai was a little dazed.

Hu Hai knew that Dunwei already knew his identity, and originally thought that Dunwei would greet him in person.Unexpectedly, there was only one elder.

At this moment, Hu Hai understood his weak attitude.Obviously, Dunwei didn't trust himself.Or, the knot in my heart is still unresolved.

People who work in dark forces such as intelligence tend to think more than others.

……

"The old minister pays homage to His Majesty!" The old man didn't know Hu Hai, but even if Hu Hai turned into ashes, Dun Ruo would still know him.

"Dianke doesn't need to be too polite!" Hu Hai smiled leisurely and said, "Get up!"

"Yes!"

……

Just like that, the monarch and his ministers looked at each other for a while.Between each other, thoughts tumbling.

After a long silence, Hu Hai let out a long sigh: "Dian Ke is a talent for seeking the country, and he lives in seclusion in the small city of Lintao, but he is a waste of talent!"

"Zhao Gao is good at power!" Dunwei was stunned for a moment, and then sighed heavily: "If the old minister doesn't leave, the prime minister will be an example!"
