Chapter 6 Li Si seems to see his younger self at this moment
Li Si frowned.
From serving in the military service to entering the Shaofu directly, this is equivalent to climbing several levels, from a commoner to an official of the Qin Dynasty all of a sudden.
Even though he is just a minor official in the young manor, for a low-level commoner who has never seen the world, this is a step to the sky.
Compared with the endless corvee, compared with working hard with your back to the sky in exchange for survival rations, entering the Shaofu is equivalent to having a chance to survive.
Regardless of natural or man-made disasters, no matter when, as long as the Qin court operates normally, their salaries will not be reduced.
In the eyes of others, Zhao Shu rejected this great thing without even thinking about it.
A young man who can refuse immediate benefits and endure suffering will always have a future as long as he doesn't die.
"Tingwei, I asked Zhao Shu, and that's what he meant. He said he would be loyal to the king and die for the Qin Dynasty."
"Haha, interesting!"
Li Si's eyes were full of emotion. Ever since he left Xia Cai, he chose to go out and make a living. In order to get ahead in life, and to be a prince forever, he endured the looks of others and bore the infamy of killing his junior brother.
At this moment, he seemed to see the same person he was when he saw Shuo Shu when he was a boy. He wanted to get ahead, become famous, and desperately wanted to change his destiny.
"Since it works, then follow Zhao Shu's request. Qin people are pragmatic, and Qin officials are even more so."
Li Si stood up and said in a solemn tone: "Young Master, please arrange it. I will meet with this young man for a while. If he really has a great talent, he might as well be a favor."
"promise."
Both Li Si and Zhang Han knew that it was a foregone conclusion that the Qin Dynasty would sweep through the six kingdoms of Shandong and unite the world into one.
No one knows where the future changes in the court situation will take, but the number of officials in the Great Qin court is fixed.
One more member of the family means one less enemy. Today, Zhang Han is only a young man in charge, not the commander of the First Emperor's bodyguard, and Li Si is only a court lieutenant, not a prime minister.
At this moment, above the Qin Dynasty, the system of the Three Gongs and Nine Qings has begun to take shape. Two of them, one Shaofu and one Tingwei, all belong to the Nine Qings.
In Zhangtai Palace, the first echelon belongs to Sangong, and the two of them belong to the second echelon, especially since they both came from poor families, and Li Si came from Chu State.
Born with little political capital, they most need people to share weal and woe in the future court.
Therefore, as long as Zhao Shu is smart enough and talented enough, Li Si and Zhang Han don't mind adding fuel to the fire.
Zhang Han left.
Li Si looked at the sky, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. Although he had never seen Zhao Shu, he felt Zhao Shu's sharp edge.
A young man with heroic spirit should be full of pride.
Li Si became curious about Zhao Shu and wanted to meet him, but his strong determination allowed him to suppress his curiosity.
What Zhang Han mentioned today needs time to be verified. He plans to wait a few more days to see the effect and meet Zhao Shu.
As a Great Qin Tingwei, Li Si was in his middle age. His past life experience told him that no matter how fanciful the words were, they would not be as shocking as the results.
As long as it is proven feasible, Zhang Han, him, and even Zhao Shu will all benefit from it.
Zhang Han benefited the most, followed by him, and finally Zhao Shu. It meant little to him and Zhang Han, but to Zhao Shu it was the beginning of another life.
After years of struggle, Li Si is now qualified to give others a chance. As for whether Zhao Shu can catch it, Li Si has never thought about it.
If you can't even catch the opportunity, how can it soar into the sky, and how can it be worthy of him and Zhang Han joining forces to add fuel to the fire?
…
Each time, Zhao Shu's quarrying area completed the assigned tasks on time and on time. Then, under Zhao Shu's arrangement, he leveled the road surface, drove gravel, and then paved the road.
For five consecutive days, the prisoners in the quarry area worked enthusiastically. Ever since they were under Zhao Shu's management, there was not a single day without a full meal.
It is precisely because of this kind of visible contribution and reward that all the prisoners have no resistance to Zhao Shu. They all understand that they can have enough to eat by following Zhao Shu.
On this day, Zhang Han came and brought the tools that Zhao Shu told him needed to be forged, and handed them to Zhao Shu: "I've given you the things, and then it's up to you."
"Boy, if you want the fox to get out of the pit, you need to be strong enough to seize the opportunity and jump up."
"Haha, thank you for the advice, Master." Zhao Shu raised the corner of his mouth and saluted Zhang Han seriously: "If Zhao Shu can ride on the wind in the future, he will never forget today's kindness."
"Go on, let us all open our eyes and see your tools. Don't let others say that I wasted scarce iron blocks and just forged some playthings."
Zhang Han had expectations in his eyes.
Not far away, there was a middle-aged man in coarse clothes, his eyes were as bright as lamps, and his deep gaze seemed to see through people all at once.
Getting promoted and making a fortune is what a man wants in his life. In the Qin Dynasty, if officials wanted to be promoted and made a fortune, in addition to the official recruitment by the King of Qin, other assessments were required at the end of October every year.
If you want to complete the assessment, you must have political achievements in hand that can be used to make the civil and military officials in the court speechless.
Zhang Han is a Shaofu, and Li Si is a Tingweidou. If they want to get promoted and make a fortune, they both need political achievements.
They were responsible for the construction of Lishan Mausoleum. If the tools improved by Zhao Shu could be used, according to Qin law, it would be their two political achievements.
Of course, this is why Zhang Han and Li Si are so enthusiastic.
Zhao Shu climbed to an exposed boulder, inserted a big nail into the gap, then stood firm to the side and struck hard with his sledgehammer.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
With just five hammer blows, the huge stone cracked and fell from the mountain, creating a deep pit on the ground.
For a moment, there was a rumble in the quarry area, dust was flying all over the sky, and everyone coughed repeatedly.
Especially Zhang Han and Li Si, who were observing secretly, couldn't help but be surprised. It was so convenient and unexpected.
Zhao Shu stood on one side to ensure that the ground was solid. This time, the sky was very powerful. In just five strokes, most of the rocks fell.
Next, in order to let others witness this scene, Zhao Shu hammered down three large rocks in succession, attracting everyone's attention.
"Success, Lord Five Hundred has succeeded!" cheers rang out, and the faces of all the prisoners were filled with ecstasy.
"The five hundred masters are blessed by God!"
They are all veterans of mining and quarrying, so they naturally know how much effort it takes to complete such a level of quarrying.
And Zhao Shu used new tools, just a few hammers. This set of tools will greatly increase the efficiency of their mining and quarrying.
"Yes, you are worthy of being the Five Hundred Master under my command. I want to take credit for you!" At this moment, Zhang Han was overjoyed when he saw the result.
He seemed to see light.
He also has a chance to escape from the big trouble of the young master. He is a military commander and is on the battlefield, which is his only choice.
