Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 342 Innovation Chapter Waste and Enclosure ([-])

"Master Li, I am so polite." Ying Ning saluted Li Si who was lying on the table and writing quickly.

Hearing this, Li Si raised his head and saw that it was Ying Ning, quickly put down his pen, stood up, and replied: "It's Mr. Ying. Li Si didn't come out to greet him. Please forgive me, Mr. Ying."

Ying Ning hurriedly stopped Li Si and said, "I am the one who is guilty, not you, Mr. Li. Ying Ning broke in without Mr. Li's permission. Please, Mr. Li, don't blame me for being an uninvited guest."

In the past few days, Li Si and Ying Ning have been very close. Although they are using each other, the relationship between each other has also improved rapidly. Li Si not only does not blame Ying Ning for his actions, but treats him as one of his own, very affectionate : "Master Ying has spoken, how dare Li Si. If Mr. Ying can go to the humble house, he will think highly of me, Li Si."

Ying Ning said straight away, "This time I came here to give Master Li some things. Master Li worked hard for the "Letter of Persuasion and Distribution". I am very grateful and specially sent some supplements to Master Li. Come, bring Come up."

Two servants came in with a silver tray, and Li Si saw that there were great tonics in the tray: musk, deer antler, ginseng, rhino horn and other precious medicinal materials.

"Master Li has been working hard for days, so he needs to rest more and take supplements. These are not respectful, so please accept them with a smile," Ying Ning said with a smile.

Li Si hastily declined and said, "Master Ying, you've really spoiled Li Si, Li Si can't be of any use."

"Master Li wrote the "Persuasion Letter" for all of us. We are idle, and you are tired alone. When I think of this, I feel bad. There is no need for Master Li to refuse. You should not ask the old man to move back by himself. ?" Ying Ning said with a smile.

Seeing that there was no excuse, Li Si said, "Since that's the case, Li Si will accept it. Thank you, Lord Ying, for your kindness."

"This is one of our own." Ying Ning was very happy. He walked to the table, looked at the memorial on the table, and read: "The minister Li Si boldly invited the king: the ministers discussed the entrustment, and there was no end to clamor. I thought it would be harmful. Enfeoffment began in three generations and lasted for 2000 years. The king unified the country and imitated the ancient system. , the monarch and his ministers share weal and woe, and be faithful to the rule of the king..." I couldn't help nodding, and said: "Well written, well written, and the benefits of enfeoffment are explained very thoroughly."

Li Si thought about it and said: "Thanks to the praise from the adults, Li Si is not talented, and he can't make the best of the benefits of enfeoffment, so I ask the adults to advise."

Ying Ning stroked his beard, and said happily: "Master Li is too modest. With this good article, the king will definitely follow the example of King Wu of Zhou, entrusting all the heroes of the clan, and then Master Li will have a piece of fertile land. Not beautiful!"

Thinking of how honorable it would be if the enfeoffment could be done, since he was a feudal vassal, he would be governed by his own ability, even compared to Duke Zhou, Li Si's eyes lit up, and he said: "I still have to ask your lord to A few good words will do the trick.”

"Master Li is too serious, we have to encourage each other!" Ying Ning cupped his fists and said, "I won't bother you with your writing, I will leave first."

Li Siwan stayed and said: "Your Excellency came to the humble house without even drinking a cup of tea, how can this be the way of hospitality."

"Time is running out now. After this matter is over, the old man will bother Mr. Li again." Ying Ning was very reasonable.

The memorial is of great importance, and Li Si also felt that it was not perfect enough, and it was in great need of deliberation, so he no longer wanted to keep it, saying: "In that case, Li Si will send Mr. Ying respectfully."

Ying Ning patted Li Si's hand and said, "Master Li, please stay, please stay."

Li Si sent Ying Ning away, then returned to the room and sat down, deliberating on the memorial.After a while, Li Si put down his pen, frowned, kept pacing, and muttered, "Isn't it too risky to send it up like this? What does the king think? The king is unfathomable, and no one can guess his thoughts." , if the king does not agree to the entrustment, wouldn't it be self-defeating, and I will hit the knife's edge by myself."

He patted his forehead and muttered: "The ones who can know the king's heart are those who go to Zhou Chong's house, but they will definitely not tell me. This Zhou Chong, when he was among the merchants, I did my best to help him. Even to help him almost offend the king, at the critical moment, he excluded me, what a villain! Ma'am, madam."

The girl hurried in and said, "My lord, Madam went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet."

"Madam is out? Why didn't you tell me earlier." Li Si was a little angry, and his tone was not kind.

The girl hurriedly replied: "My lord, Madam won't let me speak."

"Where did she go?" Li Si asked.

The girl replied cautiously: "The madam said she wanted to go out for a walk, but she didn't say where she was going, and the slaves didn't dare to ask."

Li Si said very patiently: "Okay, it's none of your business, let's go down."

The girl saluted slightly and ran away in a hurry.

Li Si thought that Zeng Shuyao and Zhou Chong had a good relationship, and he could ask Zeng Shuyao to go to Zhou Chong's place to find out some information, but he didn't expect that Zeng Shuyao had gone out early in the morning, so this matter would naturally not work, and if it didn't bother, it would be annoying.

"Daddy, hug Yanran!" Yanran's childish voice sounded when Li Si was troubled.

Li Si saw that Zeng Shuyao's mother and daughter were standing at the door beautifully, Yan Ran opened her arms, blinking her small eyes and smiling at him, Li Si picked up Yan Ran, kissed her little face, and asked: "Yan Ran, dear , where have you been naughty?"

Yan Ran looked at Li Si with her neck tilted, and said, "Daddy, Uncle Zhou will give Yan Ran some snacks. Uncle Zhou is bad, always make Yan Ran fragrant."

Li Si's eyes widened, and he said, "Yanran, what did you say? You went to Zhou Chong's mansion?"

Zeng Shuyao said angrily: "Yes. The threshold is almost kicked off when the family welcomes you. I'm so bored. I can talk to Brother Zhou and talk, but it's not in your way."

This is such a good thing that there is nowhere to find it. Li Si would not care about Zeng Shuyao's complaints, and said: "Shuyao, does Zhou Chong have something to say? Did he mention the matter of enfeoffment?"

"We're just chatting casually. How can we talk about government affairs?" Zeng Shuyao complained: "It's like you, who is busy all day long. You don't even think about how difficult it is for you to have today's status and fame. It's time to be satisfied, and I still think about being a prince all day long. King Wu of Zhou conferred so many princes, will any one have a good end? What about the grandpa? His descendants have been killed by others, and there are not many left, you can't Let your descendants follow in the footsteps of the Grand Duke."

Li Si explained: "Ma'am, you are wrong to blame me, I am not thinking of future generations."

"By the way, Brother Zhou wants me to bring you a sentence." Zeng Shuyao said a little strangely: "Brother Zhou is also true. If you have something to say, you don't say it directly, but go around it."

Li Si regained his energy and asked eagerly, "What did Zhou Chong say? Madam, tell me quickly."

"It's nothing, just a poem 'cutting wood, birds chirping'." Zeng Shuyao relayed the original words.

This is "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Logging", Zeng Shuyao also knew it, there was no mystery, but when Li Si heard it, he was horrified, put Yanran in Zeng Shuyao's hand, lay down on the table, and said: "Hurry up, Yanmo , I want to rewrite the memorial!"
