Chapter 80 You will never go to sea again
Three items, a stirrup, a saddle and a horse shoe were presented to him. Wang Jian, as a Marquis of Che with many military exploits, could not fail to see the clues.
"Not bad!" Wang Jian admired as he looked at the three horse treasures.
"So, this is your Majesty's reward?" Wang Jian asked.
Zhao Si nodded and said, "Fortunately, your majesty favors me, and I have been promoted to one rank. I will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins and ten hectares of fertile land."
"It's a little less, but you are still young! Your Majesty has given you books and money. You have gained His Majesty's attention. You must be loyal to the King and obey the King's orders." Wang Li leaned on the recliner and patted Zhao Si's arm and said.
There is no doubt about the role of the three-piece set immediately. It is very useful in Yu Guonai. It is even possible to change the structure of the army. It is indeed less likely to be promoted to one level, and it is not impossible to jump to the third level.
Zhao Si still has a lot of merit that has not been paid out. Wang Jian deliberately pointed out that the main reason is that Zhao Si is too young.
The First Emperor's regard for him was palpable. A reward of one rank was nothing, but a bounty of books one after another was the most important thing. If an old bird in the officialdom had already been elated, Zhao Si was a drifter at sea, without any political experience, and he was young. When you are full of energy, you will inevitably lose your composure when faced with the slow advancement of your title.
"I am fortunate to be favored by His Majesty. I take the King's orders first." Zhao Si nodded and said sincerely.
Wang Jian saw that Zhao Si's attitude was sincere and that although he was young, he was not reckless and dissatisfied, so he nodded in approval.
"His Majesty also told Zhao Si to learn how to drive and control horses." Wang Li interrupted.
Wang Jian's expression paused, and the smile on his face became even wider as he said, "Good!"
While they were talking, servants had already served drinks, food and drinks. Of course, they were all delicacies, but the taste was still lacking. After all, there were only so many condiments and ingredients in this era.
It's not that bad, it's just that the taste is bland and monotonous, but the wine is very good. Unfortunately, Zhao Si doesn't particularly like drinking, so I can't say what's good about it. It's just that it's smooth in the mouth and has a real grain taste. The taste is a little sour and sweet, not bitter at all.
"Come closer!" Wang Jian waved, and Zhao Si and Wang Li came forward to have a banquet.
"How old are you?" Wang Jian asked.
"Twenty to two." Zhao Si answered.
"Have you ever been married?" Wang Jian asked again.
"Wandering on the ship, I have not returned to Qin for more than ten months now. I haven't left the camp yet and I have never been married." Zhao Si answered honestly, thinking to himself, Wang Jian is not planning to propose a marriage to him, right?
This kind of plot is quite common in online novels. After all, I am already in the emperor's heart...
"In that case, don't be impatient." Wang Jian paused and said.
"Although you got married late, you are still young. Don't be anxious when talking about marriage. You have no family, and you and Li'er are close friends. I count you as half of your elders. If you are not sure about marriage, you can come and ask. Ask." Wang Jian said thoughtfully.
Wang Jian's closeness is beyond words. To put it bluntly, Zhao Si has no elders, so when they meet someone who wants to marry him, Wang Jian is willing to support Zhao Si and look after him.
Zhao Si naturally did not want to make a big fuss, so he bowed to express his thanks, and then spoke with a wry smile.
"I'm not in a hurry to get married. After Lantian's incident, I'm afraid I'll have to go to sea. I'll be wandering and I might miss her." Zhao Si Xiaoxiong spread his hands.
The First Emperor will definitely go to sea for the second time. If nothing else, at least Xu Fu who is stranded in Fusang will have to be dealt with.
Disobeying the king's order and proclaiming himself king, it is okay not to know, but it is definitely impossible to let it go after knowing it.
Even if we don’t mention the Xu Fu incident for the time being, the First Emperor will definitely send a more professional and complete team to go to sea again in order to see the true face of the world.
Zhao Si brought back a lot of information, but there was still a lot of more critical information that he didn't bring back.
The situation of each country, the political structure, the population, and the mineral deposits. To put it bluntly, what Zhao Si brought back was a personal travel note. The First Emperor planned to send an inspection team out this time.
Basically, none of the crew members who returned this time could escape and had to continue working at sea.
Zhao Si couldn't even run away. He was the captain and had the most experience. He also had the experience of leading the crew back to Qin.
Therefore, Zhao Si didn't really care about the size of the land or the size of the house. If the First Emperor was determined to open the sea, Zhao Si guessed that he would not be able to escape. In this case, no matter how much real estate there is, it doesn't matter.
Meaning, ancient voyagers might end up dead at the bottom of the sea one day. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would spend most of their lives wandering overseas, and no matter how much property they had, they would not be able to use it now.
Zhao Si has made preparations for a long-term separation from the Central Plains, of course, provided that the Qin Dynasty does not die without the second generation.
If the Qin Dynasty still dies, he might go to sea again and meet Liu Bang when he comes back.
I went out for a trip and found that Da Qin was gone...
It can be said that he is very similar to the astronaut Mao Xiong.
"You can't get out of the sea." Wang Jian waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Ah?" Zhao Si looked confused, and Wang Li also looked curious.
"Father, why is this?" Wang Li had a lot of yearning for things at sea, and he probably guessed that Zhao Si would continue to explore the sea.
"What official positions are there in the Qin Dynasty now that are responsible for driving and riding horses?" Wang Jian looked at his grandson Wang Li with a smile.
Zhao Si's driving skills were not good, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that the First Emperor's instructions were explicit. Ordinary people would not get any hint at all, but Wang Jian did not expect that his sweet grandson could not even understand this.
However, stupid people are blessed with stupid things. Wang Li, as the third generation, is too smart for his own good. His current behavior is out of nature, and he has a certain degree of progress and retreat without losing simplicity. This is enough for the Wang family.
"Your servant, Zhongche Mansion, Lang Zhongling." Wang Li answered one by one and suddenly understood.
"What do you mean, my eldest father, is where Zhao Si's official position will be in the future?"
Thinking of the First Emperor's personal instructions for Zhao Si to learn how to drive and ride a horse, and Wang Jian's reminder, Wang Li could not understand that it was not his nature that was simple, but that he was born with a lack of talent.
"Zhongche Mansion is an internal minister, it should not be. In the end, I think it should be the servant or the doctor..."
The servant is in charge of the palace's horses and the country's horse administration.
The CRRC Mansion is responsible for managing the carriage and horse travel of the palace. (Note: 1)
Lang Zhongling, guarding the door, going out to charge chariots and riders, greeting guests, and accepting reports from ministers.
Among them, Taipu and Lang Zhongling are both among the nine ministers. Zhongchefu is a eunuch who is in charge of internal affairs in the palace and cannot interfere with the government's affairs. Therefore, it is the choice between Taipu and Lang Zhongling.
Of course, they are subordinate officials of the imperial servant and Lang Zhongling.
The Imperial Servant and Lang Zhongling were serious Jiuqing officials. Looking at the top of the country's power pyramid, Zhao Si was far behind now.
"Servant... Lang Zhongling..." Wang Li fell into deep thought, both of which were related to carriages and horses.
"Father, where will my brother end up?" Wang Li thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why.
Mainly, in this era, to be honest, there are still some overlaps in terms of authority, and the divisions are not so clear.
(Note 1: There is a Chefu Order under the imperial servant. Zhao Gao’s Zhongchefu Order and Chefu Order are two different things.
There are two explanations for Zhao Gao's Chefu Order. One is that Gao Gao was the middle man. That is to say, Zhao Gao served as the Chefu Order as a eunuch, so he was the Zhongchefu Order.
The second explanation is that CRRC Fu Ling and Che Fu Ling are two different things.
This explanation is relatively simple, Chefu Order, Chefu Order.
Zhongchefu Order, Zhongchefu Order.
, can be seen as representing the royal palace.
Zhongren is the eunuch. Zhongchefu is the palace's carriage and horse travel agency.
I personally think that the second explanation is more realistic. It makes no sense that Zhao Gao, who serves as the eunuch of Che Fu Ling, a subordinate agency of the imperial servant, would specifically call him Zhong Che Fu Ling. He doesn't have such a big face.)
