Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

Chang'an Jun's Mansion -

Ying Wei met Li Si in his study.

Ying Wei held the fragrant tea. He blew on the tea leaves floating on the teacup and took a sip. Then he raised his head and looked at Li Si who was standing respectfully in front of him.

"Yesterday, I took those pens and papers to Xianyang Palace for the king to review."

"Today at the court meeting, the king will show the papers and pens to the ministers. Do you know the reactions of the ministers?"

Ying Wei put the tea cup in his hand on the table in front of him and said slowly.

Li Si thought about his words for a while, then he handed it over and said:"……I think all the ministers must be overjoyed and praise you as a rare talent who will leave your name in history!"

"In the future, whether they are members of various sects or people in the court, every time they use paper and pen to write documents, they will think of the merits of the king."

"Your merits are like Cangjie's creation of Chinese characters, which will last for thousands of years!"

As the real executor of paper manufacturing, Li Si, with his intelligence, can naturally guess how much changes the emergence of paper will bring to Qin State, and even to the Seven Kingdoms.

It will be a cultural earthquake, and even he is vaguely aware of it. He felt that this would be a great change in the knowledge flowing from the hands of the upper-class nobles to the people.

I am afraid that the teachers at Xiaoshengxian Village will bow to you after seeing these papers.

Li Si thought in his heart.

Ying Wei didn't care about Li Si's flattery. His identity as Lord Chang'an meant that Ying Wei would face those who flatter him all the time. It was quite new at first, but the more times he used it, the less he would feel it. Especially since Ying Wei always tells himself that just listen to those flatterers and don’t take them seriously, otherwise he will be fooled by his subordinates.

"The production methods and processes of these papers are still confidential information for the time being."

"Although even if it spreads, it will not do any harm to the Qin State. As the saying goes, the strong will always be strong. Only with the policies and efficiency of the Qin State can paper play a greater role."

"Even if the paper flows into the barbarian land of Chu State, it will not increase the national strength of Chu State in any way."

"However, the manufacturing of paper can be kept secret for how long. Today, the king established a new department in the Shaofu to oversee the manufacturing of paper."

Ying Wei told Li Si some of the decisions made in the court today.

Li Si was not surprised at all. He had guessed from the beginning that when paper appeared, there would be a special department responsible for manufacturing it.

"I recommended you to the king to become the leader of this new department, and the king agreed."

"This department is located in the Shaofu. Although it cannot go to the court, it is a good position for you now that Lu Buwei is so powerful. You don't have to face Lu Buwei's power."

"Although this position is not like some other departments of the Young Mansion that can meet with the King at any time, it is still one of the Young Mansion and is directly subordinate to the King."

"Now the king also knows your name. As long as you do your job well, when the opportunity comes, you can use it as an advancement position."

Ying Wei ordered Li Si.

As for when the opportunity will be, naturally after Lu Buwei is overthrown, there will be a vacancy in the Qin court. At that time, everyone will rely on their abilities to see who can go further.

Li Si suddenly suddenly He raised his head and felt unbelievable. He never expected that Ying Wei would give him a future in just a few months. The departments under the Young Mansion seemed to have little power, but this was how Li Si was able to enter the Qin Dynasty. The most important step in the officialdom of the country.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, this step has made many people unable to get out of it in their lives. Especially the Shaofu is directly subordinate to the King of Qin, so he can be closer to the current king.

In addition, Li Si is the king of Chang'an. Recommended by King Qin's most trusted brother, it can be said that Li Si's name has been remembered by King Qin.

Whether it is modern or ancient times, if the leader remembers his name, that is the arrival of opportunity.

Of course, if the ability is not enough, always get things done. Damn, it would be fatal if the leader remembered your name.

Li Si knelt on the ground excitedly and bowed:"……Li Si, thank you for your cultivation!"

Li Si wished he could hug Ying Wei's thigh at this time. He thought that he would have to work honestly for two or three years and show his abilities before he would have a chance to enter the officialdom.

But he didn't expect that it would only take a few months for Chang'an Lord. He got an official position for him, and even vaguely reminded him to seize the opportunity and climb up.

Although Ying Wei didn't say it specifically, with Li Si's intelligence, he certainly knew where the opportunity would be, so he had to seize the opportunity before it came. , leaving more work experience for himself.

Ying Wei bowed to Li Si and then said:"……Tomorrow you will go to the Shaofu to report. This department is a new department and needs to be reorganized. It is a good opportunity to show your abilities. Don’t let me and the king down."

"However, although setting up a new department will be a bit tiring, you should not slack off on the work I have assigned you."

Li Si knew that what Ying Wei had assigned him was the work of importing sugar cane, wood and other items from Chu.

Although he didn't know what those things were for, he did not dare to neglect the work Ying Wei had assigned:"……Li Si understood that he would not disappoint his Majesty."

Although Li Si is expected to be busy to death in the coming days, for the young and motivated Li Si, he is not afraid of too much work, but of not having a job. Not having a job means that he is not valued by the leadership, which is absolutely not acceptable.

Young If you don’t roll when you are old, do you have to wait until you are old to roll again! This is Li Si’s real idea.

In fact, what Ying Wei asked Li Si to do was to make money.

The sugar cane and wood bought from Chu State were all for Sugar production and making rice paper are similar to luxury goods.

Of course, these things are not sold to the common people, but to the nobles of the seven countries.

Things are rare and valuable, and when the secret of manufacturing is revealed only to Ying Wei When one person is in control, these luxurious things will naturally be priced how they want.

Especially with Ying Wei's status, no one dares to rob him. This is a source of daily income.

Although Ying Wei has a fief, the output of the fief is It’s enough for Ying Wei to eat, drink and have fun, but not enough for his many subsequent plans.

Ying Wei understands the importance of money. He needs money, a lot of money, and it must be money controlled by himself.

Although Quan can make money, but for him For the huge amount of money that Ying Wei needs, it can only be done in a wrong way, which is not advisable.

As a powerful man with a lot of modern knowledge, what Ying Wei does not have is a way to make money, and power is the guarantee of making money and the maintenance of making money. The stabilizing power.

Ying Wei thought about these things and waved his hand to indicate that Li Si could go down.

……

In the room, Jingyu, who was dressed in palace clothes, was holding a baby and breastfeeding. She was leaning on the bed, her slender calves were bent up, and a pair of pink and snow-white feet were exposed under her skirt.

When she heard movement outside, she subconsciously covered her chest with her clothes, but she quickly stopped.

The only person in Chang'an Mansion who can come and go at will without notice is the owner Ying Wei.

When Ying Wei walked into the house and saw Jing Salamander feeding, he said in a gentle tone:"……Is Xiao Yan'er sucking milk?"(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Jing Salamander nodded gently and said softly:"……Yeah, but the little guy seems to have fallen asleep."

The Jing Salamander who said this lowered his head and saw the child in his arms staring blankly.

Ying Wei stepped forward and said:"……Don't choke her."

Jing Salad heard this and gently let Xiao Yan'er's mouth leave her chest.

She picked up a clean piece of satin and wiped it first. Seeing Ying Wei staring at the white greasy chest of her chest, Jing Salad's face turned slightly. I was blushing, and I pulled my clothes to block the beautiful scenery.

"I went to Xianyang Palace yesterday to meet Brother Wang and told him about Xiao Yaner."

"During today's court meeting, Brother Wang also announced this matter, legally confirming Xiao Yan'er's identity and giving her the title Wei Young."

"｀～From today on, she is Princess Weiyang."

Ying Wei sat next to Jing Salad. He poked Xiao Yan'er's face with his finger and whispered to Jing Salad.

Jing Salad's delicate body trembled. She lowered her embroidered eyebrows and bit her moist lips:"……I thanked my husband."

Ying Wei shook his head and said:"……You are my concubine. Since I made a promise to give you and Xiao Yaner a stable life and wealth, I will never break my promise."

"Brother Wang also gave birth to a daughter a few days ago, named Yinman, and was named Princess Yangzi. She is destined to be Xiao Yaner."

"When the two children are older, let the sisters meet and play together."

Jing Salamander naturally has no meaning to this kind of thing, and said softly:"……These are all arranged by the husband."

Ying Wei hummed and continued:"……There is one more thing I want to tell you."

Facing the confused look in Jing Salamander's eyes, he said:"……After a while, I will go to South Korea as an envoy. This is related to my plan and should be treated with caution."

"However, after leaving Qin and heading to South Korea, we will face some dangers."

"Although I will have guards to protect me, there won’t be many guards in Korea, and I won’t be able to trust the people in Korea."

"Now, you are the only one who I can trust and have great martial arts skills. Then you will go to South Korea with me."

"But this will require you and Xiaoyan'er to be separated for a while"

"Yan'er is still young, it is too dangerous to go out, and she can easily become the target of interested people, so she is allowed to stay in Xianyang for the time being."

Jing Salamander just listened to Ying Wei's words quietly. After he finished speaking, Jing Salamander said softly:"……Husband’s affairs are more important"

"What the husband did was also for the sake of my concubine and Yan'er. Could it be that the husband thought that I would be unhappy because of this?"

"I have a low status and am favored by my husband, which is why I have the life I have today. I have read many classics and understand the truth."

"Presumably even Yan'er would understand what her husband did."

Ying Wei nodded slightly. Although with his status, this kind of thing does not require explanation, just an order.

But this is a family matter, not an external official matter, and he does not need to show those powers at home. Moreover, Jingyu just gave birth to a child not long ago. , it is necessary to temporarily separate mother and daughter, which is against maternal nature after all.

He patted the back of Frightened Salamander's hand and said:"……There’s no need to be too hasty, at least you’ll have to prepare for more than a month to apply for this matter."

"During this time, please spend time with Yan'er."

Immediately, Ying Wei looked at the sky outside and said:"……It's getting late."

Jingli was a little confused. It was bright outside, wasn't it?

But she immediately knew what Ying Wei meant. When she saw Ying Wei playing with the pair of small feet under her skirt, she smiled helplessly and was about to call him. The maid took Yan'er away.

Ying Wei said:"……What do children know? Just put her on the bed next to her."

"Wouldn't it be more reassuring to have you by your side watching over her?"

As soon as Jing salamander heard that it made sense, he did not let the maid take away Yan'er, but put him aside. Soon, the room became quiet.
