Li Si was very satisfied with Zhao Shu, so he taught him wholeheartedly. After all, Zhao Shu had repaid him.
From this point of view, the other party is a person who knows how to repay kindness. Such a character is suitable for being a closed disciple.
In fact, Li Si has also been looking for such a suitable disciple over the years.
Once upon a time, he placed his hopes on his eldest son, but Li You was far more interested in military affairs than in politics.
Moreover, he understood Li You. Li You's talent was pretty good, but not as good as him.
This means that even Li You cannot pass on what he has learned.
However, in the inheritance of masters and disciples, one wants to be better than the master, rather than one generation being inferior to the other.
And Zhao Shu is such an almost perfect choice.
Zhao Shu is intelligent, has a natural keen sense for politics, knows how to repay kindness, and has good conduct.
When Zhao Shu recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan and becomes the son of the Qin Dynasty, his status will be sufficient.
It is precisely because Li Si valued Zhao Shu that he made such a promise to Ying Zheng at this moment.
Because he knew that Ying Zheng seemed to be doing it for Zhao Shu, but actually he was paving the way for Fu Su. What he could do at this moment was to train Zhao Shu into an assistant minister.
"On this point, I believe in Aiqing and Zhao Shu." Ying Zheng nodded and turned to Li Si and said, "Apart from Zhao Shu, what else does Aiqing have to do during this trip?"
Hearing this, Li Si was stunned for a moment, then remembered the important matters of his trip, and quickly saluted Ying Zheng and said.
"Your Majesty, our Great Qin does not have enough officials who are proficient in Qin's laws. This means that it will take a long time to promote Qin's laws in Zhao."
"Everyone is thinking about this matter, but we have no other choice now but to use powerful force to push back against everything."
Ying Zheng sighed and said to Li Si: "If it doesn't work, you can slow down, but you must persevere in implementing Qin's laws."
"Since the land of Zhao now belongs to Da Qin, the whole country must follow the same law!"
"promise."
Nodding, Li Si couldn't help but feel a little headache. He was a Tingwei, and these matters were naturally the responsibility of their Tingwei official office.
It's just that some of the reserve officials prepared by Qin Dynasty were used in Han Dynasty. Now facing the entire Zhao region, they are somewhat insufficient.
Seeing Li Si frowning and remaining silent, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Tingwei, how many counties do you think the land of Zhao should be turned into?"
"Your Majesty, I have also studied this matter. Judging from the situation in Zhao, I think it is more reasonable to divide it into seven counties!"
Having said this, Li Si stood up and walked to the map of Zhangtai Palace. He held the pole and pointed at the map and said: "Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Seeing Ying Zheng approaching, Li Si just moved the pole and said: "I think that Taiyuan County should be established here with Jinyang as its administrative seat, Yunzhong County should be retained with Yunzhong as its administrative seat, Dai County should be retained as its administrative seat, and Dai County should be retained as its administrative seat.
Yanmen County is governed by good deeds."
"At the same time, a new Ju? County was established with Julu as its administrative seat, Heng? County was established with Dongheng as its administrative seat, Handan County was established with Handan as its administrative seat."
"In this way, dismembering the entire Zhao land will be conducive to the imperial court's control over Zhao land."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly. Li Si's thoughts were roughly the same as his, but as a result, more officials were needed.
"Doing this will help the court control the land of Zhao, but this will require more officials. But what Da Qin lacks most now is officials."
Having said this, Ying Zheng took a deep look at Li Si and spoke with sincerity, "Has Aiqing ever thought about this?"
"To be fair to the king, I have thought about it, but I haven't thought about it deeply. After all, this is a matter for the government and I am a court official."
Li Si handed over to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, if you want to come to the government office, you will come up with a plan, and Prime Minister Wang and others will also make a proper arrangement."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
........
Zhao Shu, who left Zhangtai Palace, was naturally not aware of the conversation between Ying Zheng and Li Si in Zhangtai Palace.
Even if he knew it, he was not interested at the moment. What he wanted to do most now was make money.
The sources of stone and wood have been settled, and all that remains is to pay for them.
"General Zhao!" a voice came, causing Zhao Shu to stop.
Seeing Zhao Gao with a smile on his face, Zhao Shu smiled brightly and hurriedly saluted: "Shu has met Zhao Fu Ling. I wonder what the Fu Ling ordered?"
As the saying goes, don't hit anyone with a smiling face.
Historically, Zhao Gao was a treacherous minister, but he is not yet.
Moreover, he had no conflicts with Zhao Gao. Every time they met, Zhao Gao was kind to him, so the two of them got along fairly harmoniously.
Seeing Zhao Shu greeting him with courtesy, Zhao Gao smiled and said to Zhao Shu: "General, you are welcome. Your Majesty asked me to hand over to the general. I am not here to bother the general..."
"There is also the matter of the Chamber of Commerce..."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu was overjoyed and hurriedly turned to Zhao Gao and said, "I have some fine wine from the Zhao Palace in my house. I wonder if I can give it to you, my magistrate?"
"So I wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears!" At this moment, Zhao Gao was overjoyed. He valued Zhao Shu very much.
Naturally, I want to make friends with him.
He follows Ying Zheng on a daily basis, so he naturally knows how much Ying Zheng values Zhao Shu, and Li Si and others have a close relationship with Zhao Shu.
He knew that Ying Zheng wanted Zhao Shu to become a disciple of Li Si, which meant that from now on, the relationship between Li Si and Zhao Shu was unusual.
As long as you are not blind, you can see that Zhao Shu has a bright future, and you will not suffer any loss if you make friends with such a person.
So, the two foxes, one big and one small, left Xianyang Palace, and within a short time, they came to Zhao Shu's house.
Walking into the mansion, Zhao Shu told the elder: "My elder, prepare a small banquet. I want to entertain the order of the Zhao family!"
"promise."
The old man turned around and left. Zhao Shu turned to Tie Qi and said, "Tell Han Ji to come and serve!"
"promise."
After giving instructions, Zhao Shu and Zhao Gao sat down in the study. Han Ji poured tea and Zhao wine for them and then left.
The two of them drank a cup together. Zhao Shu put down the wine cup and said to Zhao Gao: "Ling Zhao, I can complete the establishment of this chamber of commerce, but does the king have any arrangements for the manpower to produce it?"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao took a sip of wine and smiled at Zhao Shu: "Your Majesty, of course there are arrangements."
Putting down the wine cup in his hand, Zhao Gao took out a wooden box and handed it to Zhao Shu: "This contains the order of the Palace Master of the Hidden Palace."
"The king has said: From today on, the general will be the master of the Hidden Palace. All the manpower for the Chamber of Commerce and production will come from the Hidden Palace."
"The people there are safe and reliable. The secret recipe will not be leaked. They can also protect the general's safety to a certain extent."
