Chapter 20 Epang Palace
Qin Yiren stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at himself in the mirror, and saw a look of fatigue! His hair was already visible on his temples, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself, sighing: "People say that being an emperor is powerful, and he is in power in the world, and controls people's life and death, but they don't know that being an emperor is so hard."
"You are so embarrassed to say, you are not as monarch as you, and you don't even have time to sleep and eat." Zhao Ji was quite dissatisfied and said angrily.
"I am diligent in my work and loving the people. If a monarch like Shandong is not destroyed by me?" Qin Yi raised his head and thrust his chest, and was quite proud.
"Look at how you are, you are diligent and loving the people, but you are exhausted. It's really heartbreaking." Meng Yi also came to complain.
Meng Yi has a gentle temperament. She has never said a angrily word since she followed Qin Yiren. Today is the first time for the first time. In fact, it is more than a year since the reign of the world. Qin Yiren was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat and sleep.
"So too. You can't get tired of yourself even if you work hard and love the people. If you are tired, how can you still get diligent and love the people?" Mrs. Qing was also dissatisfied.
Mrs. Qing is a strong woman and the largest businessman in the world. She appreciates diligence very much, and today she can't help but blame Qin Yiren.
After more than a year when Qin Yiren was tired, he had white hair on his temples. Who doesn’t feel sorry for him?
"You women, I can't tell you anymore." Qin Yiren didn't want to be blamed by them, so he threw a sentence and walked away quickly.
He hurried to the study room and saw important officials such as Fan Sui, Wei Liao, Huang Shigong, Li Si, Han Fei, Fan Zeng, Wang Wan, and Meng Wu who had been waiting for him for a long time.
When Qin Yiren saw that they were all rabbit-eyed and looked tired.
"Hey. You guys are really, how can you not rest? If you are exhausted, who will assist me?" Qin Yiren complained, as if he wanted to vent the complaints he had just suffered from Zhao Ji and the others on Fan Sui and the others.
"Your Majesty, you still say that you are waiting, and you don't look at yourself, you're almost red with your eyes as we do." Fan Sui smiled.
The king and his subjects looked at each other, and what caught their eyes was the other's tired face and red eyes. It was really the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, not to mention the eye sockets of the nose.
"Sit all." Qin Yiren called them to sit down and asked, "What's the matter today?"
"Your Majesty, the general has captured Guilin and established Guilin camp. Shi Lu is already building the canal. There is hope for Lingnan to pacify it." When talking about state affairs, Fan Sui's face was stern.
"Okay!" Qin Yiren was very happy.
Once the Lingqu is completed, the land of Lingnan will be pacified and China will be complete.
"There is also General Li Mu who has defeated Donghu and killed 300,000 Donghu. The Liaodong was afraid that the troops would surrender one after another. Among them, there are His Majesty's old acquaintances." Fan Sui continued to report.
"My old acquaintance? Who are you?" Qin Yiren was quite surprised.
"Shanrong is restored." Fan Sui said.
"He." Qin Yiren of course remembered this Shanrong Fu.
Shanrong Fu was a prince of the Shanrong tribe of Donghu. He once participated in the ranks of talent and entered the top ten, which left a deep impression on Qin Yiren.
"This Shanrong Fu is also very knowledgeable and tactful. He knows His Majesty's power. He has not participated in the battle of Donghu and dared not be an enemy of the Qin Dynasty. He automatically asked to surrender." Huang Shigong smiled on his face and said, "According to General Li Mu's military newspaper, he said he was frightened by His Majesty's power as soon as he met and did not dare not surrender."
"He was scared by the battle in Liaodong, right?" Qin Yiren chuckled.
"This is certain. Of course, Your Majesty's power is also a reason why he dared not surrender." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"Liaodong is one step closer to defeating the Huns." Qin Yiren was very pleased and said, "It only takes a while for the world to settle down and you can use troops against the Huns."
To completely solve the Huns' problem, we must chase to Mobei. If we want to chase to Mobei, we must send troops to two groups. If we want to send troops to two groups, we must first solve the Donghu. We cannot let the Donghu scramble the northern border of China and attack the supply line of the Qin army when the Qin army attacked Mobei.
Now that Liaodong is pacified, the Donghu is brave, and the Qin Dynasty has no worries. It only takes the world to be stable and can use troops. Once the Huns are completely solved, there will be no border troubles in the northern border. It can be said that the four realms are peaceful and can develop with all their strength.
By then, the Qin Dynasty will surely develop a brilliant history.
"Your Majesty, there are two more things to do immediately." Fan Sui raised his eyebrows.
"Say." Qin Yiren was extremely concise.
"First, Xianyang is too small to meet the requirements of the increase in the number of people after unifying the world. We must expand it quickly." Fan Sui said.
Xianyang is the capital of Qin State, built by Shang Yang. It has been built for hundreds of years. In the past, Qin State was just one of the seven major warring countries, and Xianyang is completely enough. Now, the world has returned to unite, Xianyang has become the only political center in the world. There are countless officials coming to Xianyang, countless merchants coming to Xianyang, and countless famous scholars and scholars coming to Xianyang... In this way, Xianyang is overcrowded and not enough, and it must be expanded.
"I have to spend money again." Qin Yiren stroked his forehead and said with some worries: "The world is settled for the first time, and there is a lot of money needed."
Although Qin is rich, there are many places that require money. Moreover, the land in Shandong has been decided, and it is not the time to use its strength. It will take several years to go after it is managed. Now, the financial resources of the Qin Dynasty are mainly supported by the original Qin territory. Your Majesty, it’s not enough to spend it." Fan Sui was also worried.!
Xianyang is overcrowded. If Xianyang City is not expanded, something will definitely happen. It is indeed impossible to spend it. Qin Yiren said, "Then let's expand it. What about the second one?"
"Your Majesty, the second thing is that the official office is not enough, so we have to build the official office quickly." Fan Sui raised his eyebrows and said with emotion: "After the unification of the world, the number of land and cities has increased dramatically, and officials have also increased dramatically. Now, the number of officials working in Xianyang has increased several times. They have no place to do business. Some people live in inns, and some people live in the homes of ordinary people. One is inconvenience, and the other is that it is easy to leak information."
The official office is equivalent to the current office and is the place where officials handle official duties.
After unifying the world, the number of land and city gates in the Qin Dynasty increased sharply, and correspondingly, the number of officials also increased, otherwise there would be no time to deal with government affairs. In this way, it would be inevitable that there would be insufficient official offices in Xianyang.
If there is no official office to be given to officials for public service, the second thing that is inconvenient to management is the most feared thing is to leak secrets. Things are secretly completed, and major secrets cannot be leaked. This is a compulsory office.
"Okay, repair." Qin Yiren didn't want to repair the official office when he was in urgent need of money, but he had to repair it.
"Your Majesty, I have ordered the workers to deploy investigations and can be cultivated in the Dragon Shou Yuan." Fan Sui Dacai could do anything to the point.
"Longshouyuan? Isn't that the ruins of Afang Palace?" Qin Yiren was quite surprised.
"Your Majesty, this is a picture drawn by the worker's deployment. Please take a look." Fan Sui's preparation was very meticulous. He waved his hand and lifted a large picture into it and unfolded it in front of Qin Yiren.
Qin Yiren saw that the palace painted in a very large picture covers a huge area and is divided into three halls, front, middle and back.
"This is too big." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, I have calculated that it's not enough." Fan Sui pointed to the front hall on the map and said, "This front hall is for the grand dynasty meeting. At the last grand dynasty meeting, the Qin Dynasty's current court hall is not enough, and there are still three or two thousand people who have not been able to participate in the court meeting. Even so, the court meeting was full. If you encounter similar court meetings in the future, you can't do this again, right?"
There were too many people in the last major dynasty meeting, and the palace was not enough, and it was packed, which was impressive. The Qin Dynasty really needed a large palace.
It's OK to be as crowded as last time, or twice, but it's a bit inappropriate if it's three or five times.
It is even more inappropriate to have more times. The Qin Dynasty needs a large palace.
"The Central Palace is an official office. I have calculated that I will leave a 10% surplus for emergencies." Fan Sui's eyes were very far-reaching, saying: "After pacifying Baiyue and defeating the Huns, there will be more officials, and leaving a 10% surplus is the lowest."
After the Qin Dynasty unified China, there were more accumulated problems than any dynasty in Chinese history, and much more. Because a large part of the problems faced were accumulated problems throughout the ages, there would inevitably be many officials. If the Baiyue was pacified and the Huns were defeated, the number of officials would inevitably increase. It would be appropriate to reserve some official offices.
"The back hall is used to store memorials and official bamboo slips." Fan Sui explained.
At that time, it was too troublesome to use bamboo slips in large quantities. The bamboo slips had too small capacity and occupied a large area, which required a huge warehouse to meet the needs.
"Well, there is no need to modify the front hall and the central palace, the back hall needs to be modified." Qin Yiren pondered: "The paper has been almost done and it will take a few more time to use it. Let's use it in the government first, as the granaries require much smaller."
"Take it seriously?" Who doesn't know the benefits of paper? If you really need to use a lot of paper, it will be much more convenient. Fan Sui is looking forward to it.
"It's true and true." Qin Yiren was full of confidence.
Since I handed over papermaking to Mrs. Qing, after so many years of research, I have been able to produce practical paper, but the output cannot keep up. I believe that this problem will be solved in a few days.
"That's good, that's good." Fan Sui and the others were overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, this official office has a name, what's the name?" Meng Wu asked hurriedly.
"Yes." Qin Yiren frowned and pondered.
"Your Majesty, why not call it Afang Palace?" Meng Wu said hurriedly.
"Afang Palace?" Qin Yiren almost spit out old blood when he heard this.
The Afang Palace is one of the symbols of the cruelty and levies of the Qin Dynasty. It is one of the places where the people in later generations have the most concentrated despair. Countless people scolded the Qin Dynasty and Qin Shihuang because the Afang Palace was scolding the Qin Dynasty.
Du Mu even wrote "Afang Palace Fu", calling Qin Shihuang extravagant and extravagant, and scolding Qin Shihuang in a state of decent manner.
In fact, Qin Shihuang's repair of Afang Palace was not what later generations cursed. It was because Qin Shihuang was arrogant and extravagant, but used it for office use. Because the territory of the Qin Dynasty expanded and the number of official duties increased, the original official office was insufficient, so he had to repair it.
Afang Palace is indeed the largest palace group in human history, but it is not as rumored in later generations. One fire cannot be extinguished for three months. How big is it? Can a super city with a population of one million be in three months? It is obviously impossible.
This is just a slander that later generations slandered Qin Shihuang.
