Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 379: Making the emperor happy is a technical job.

"Ok?"

The First Emperor even suspected that he had heard wrongly at first. When he saw Fusu's determined eyes, he put down the teacup in his hand.

He didn't speak, just looked at Fusu calmly.

Even Zhao Si, a bystander, could realize the fire building behind the Emperor's calmness, but Fusu still turned a blind eye.

"Reason." The First Emperor looked at Fusu calmly.

"Eighteenth brother is my brother. He has been raised by me since he was young." Fusu said with determination on his face.

"Brother?" The First Emperor's face showed a bit of surprise. He did not expect that the reason given by Fusu was this, but after thinking about it, this was indeed something that a grown-up of his family could say.

Fusu and Hu Hai were the oldest and the youngest, with a huge age difference. Hu Hai had just been born when Fu Su had a child.

At that time, the First Emperor was busy with state affairs, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that Hu Hai was brought up by Fusu.

But...brother?
The First Emperor's eyebrows dimmed slightly. There was no doubt that Fusu was an absolutely competent and qualified brother.

"Go back!"

The First Emperor opened his mouth and looked at Zhao Si who was watching the show next to him. After all, he didn't get angry. He just waved his hand to signal Fusu to retreat.

"Father, what the eighteenth brother did was not out of his heart!" Fusu had a pleading look on his face.

"I tell you to stand down!" The First Emperor turned his eyes to Fusu again, with little bits of anger in his eyes.

"Father!"

"Get out!"

However, Fusu didn't seem to be afraid of the First Emperor's wrath. He was like a donkey with its neck stretched across its neck, looking resolutely at his father kneeling on the ground and pleading.

To say pleading may not be appropriate.

Zhao Si knew that he could no longer continue to eat melon...

Today he finally saw why the father-son relationship between the First Emperor and Fusu was so rigid.

It's no wonder that Fusu resolutely chose to commit suicide after receiving the imperial edict.

This guy knew in his heart that what he was doing was to offend the First Emperor, but he was not afraid or changed. He was like a stubborn donkey. Just like today, even if the First Emperor wants to treat him coldly.Fusu still knelt on the ground and refused to retreat, insisting on pushing the matter to the worst...

So how many times has this happened before?

Zhao Si didn't know either.

This is no wonder why the First Emperor did not establish a crown prince for a long time.

Zhao Si got up in time and stood between Fusu and the First Emperor.

"Eldest Young Master, please come back!"

"Zhao Qing doesn't need to persuade me..." Fusu shook his head firmly.

Of course, Zhao Si was too lazy to persuade Fusu. He was just worried that the situation would escalate. Without answering Fusu's words, Zhao Si looked at the First Emperor.

"His Majesty?"

Zhao Si chose to ask the First Emperor for instructions.

"Pull it down!" The First Emperor swung his sleeves and turned around to leave.

Obviously, even the First Emperor could not remain calm in the face of this situation.

"Father!"

Seeing the First Emperor leaving, Fusu immediately got up and wanted to catch up, but was blocked by Zhao Si's strong body.

"Please come back, eldest son..."

Fusu shook his head with firm eyes.

"I'm waiting for my father here..."

Zhao Si frowned and sighed weakly. Obviously, brothers were the bottom line that Fusu could not give in to, and Zhao Si could only carry out the orders of the First Emperor.

"Please forgive me, eldest son!"

Zhao Si grabbed Fusu's arm...

After that, he took Fusu all the way and forcibly sent Fusu out of the palace.

"Send the eldest son back to the palace!"

The Yulin Army was in charge of Zhao Si, and all the guards in the palace were Zhao Si's men. In order to prevent Fusu from scoring twice, Zhao Si directly sent the Yulin Army to force Fusu back to his residence. Fusu in the province Lai stayed at the palace gate and refused to leave. If Hu Hai was not pardoned, he would kneel and die at the palace gate again.

"The Meng family has a headache..." Zhao Si said with a bit of gloating as he watched Fusu's car frame being forcibly deported.

Please ask the brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi for their psychological shadow after learning what happened today...

Seeing Fusu's carriage gradually disappearing, Zhao Si turned around and returned to the palace.

Zhao Si entered the palace today to make a plan. The First Emperor had already agreed and his goal had been achieved. However, now that the First Emperor was obviously angry, Zhao Si decided to take a look. At least he could not be pushed away by Fusu in anger.

However, when he entered the palace and saw the First Emperor again, the First Emperor's indifference exceeded Zhao Si's imagination.

At this moment, the First Emperor was kneeling in front of the desk, leisurely trying to make tea by himself, and noticed Zhao Si's slightly horrified face and waved his hand with a smile on his face.

"sit down."

Zhao Si knelt down and looked at the smiling face of the First Emperor and couldn't help but think about it.

You can't make the First Emperor angry and cause any trouble, right?

If he really wanted to make the First Emperor angry, Fusu would have to apologize to all the people.

"Surprised?" The First Emperor pushed a cup of tea to Zhao Si with a smile on his face.

"This drink is really good, it can make people calm down and concentrate." The First Emperor said to himself.

Zhao Si didn't say anything and took a sip. It was a bit hot.

"I have eighteen sons in total, Fusu is the eldest and Hu Hai is the youngest." The First Emperor took a sip of tea and looked a little darkly.

"At the beginning of my accession to the throne, the power was withered and the inner palace was uneasy. Fusu was born at that time.

This is my first child, and the child I am closest to. At that time, the government was controlled by Lu Buwei, and I had free time to be close to my heir.

Later, when I grew up, I first took over the power, pacified the inner palace, established the imperial court, and cleared the relatives... Fusu's mother clan died as a result of this, and his uncle Changping Jun also rebelled and was executed by my order.

At this point, everyone in the court can work together to determine the world.

From then on, there were many government affairs and more and more children, but it was difficult for me to have time. Fusu was their elder brother, so he fulfilled his responsibilities, taking care of his brothers and sisters, supervising their studies, correcting their words and deeds, and his brothers and sisters all loved him and respected him. He is a brother, but he is regarded as a father.

Hu Hai was the youngest, as old as Fusu's son. Fusu had raised him single-handedly. After Fusu had not left Xianyang, Hu Hai would go to Fusu's mansion day and night to pay him respects.

If Fusu is made the crown prince, none of my children will disagree with it. Even if I want to make any of my children except Fusu the crown prince, it will be unacceptable to other princes.

Regarding the Shaqiu incident, I demoted Hu Hai and helped Su return to the country. This should happen. This is expected. "

The First Emperor slowly put down his teacup, with a somewhat indescribable meaning in his eyes. "Your Majesty is not angry anymore?" Zhao Si asked tentatively.

"I have never been angry with him for the harmony between his brothers. All the sons regard him as their elder." The First Emperor shook his head.

Zhao Si nodded. The First Emperor was angry at only one point after saying so much.

"If Hu Hai is the emperor, can Fu Su sleep peacefully all night?" The First Emperor tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Zhao Si nodded in agreement. There is no need to say more about this. History has given clear proof.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Zhao Sixian flattered him.

The First Emperor laughed a little, shook his head and said: "Chun Yuyue once told me that it is extremely difficult to implement the system of prefectures and counties across the country. I also asked Li Si. He did not have the belief of Lord Shang. The most appropriate The method should be for counties and feudal states to coexist, and the two are not incompatible. The Central Plains are included as counties and counties, and the feudalists think of border feudal states..."

The First Emperor sighed...

"As long as the final outcome is the same, whether it is the county system or the enfeoffment system, it is just a process to achieve the result." Zhao Si nodded with deep approval.

The First Emperor never cared about the so-called system of prefectures and counties and the feudal system. He only cared about one thing.

Centralization of power, monarchy!
Rights, rights, fucking rights!

As a king, the First Emperor was by no means a die-hard loyalist to any doctrine, nor could he be a supporter of any system.

The First Emperor would only support a system that suited his ideas.

The main reason why Confucianism was able to compete with Legalism at the same level at that time was because it had the support of hundreds of schools of thought. The main reason was that Confucianism also proposed appropriate solutions.

If Confucianism was wrong from the beginning and simply wanted the First Emperor to imitate the Emperor of Zhou, then there would be no possibility for Confucianism to fight on the chessboard with Legalism.

In fact, Confucianism almost won, because the First Emperor occupied too much land, and there were too many manpower and material resources to waste in the wild frontier areas. The best solution was to enfeoff the princes to develop and guard the border, and then spend more than ten years It will take a few decades to strike hard and get it back.

But the First Emperor could only decide to enfeoff, and taking it back would be a matter for the next generation.

So, can the successor of the First Emperor do it?

Fusu has the ability, but he can't do it.

Perhaps Fusu would have been a good king before the world was unified, but he was definitely not a qualified emperor.

He treated his brothers as his own, and his brothers respected him as their father. The First Emperor was very aware of the feelings between Fusu and his brothers, and Fusu would never be so cruel.

So Chunyu Yue must die...

Since he couldn't take it back, he simply didn't seal it. The First Emperor could only choose a more difficult path, and he was even very eager for it, and he would not hesitate to squeeze every ounce of the empire's resources to the maximum extent.

The purpose is to pave a road to the sky for Fusu.

To recuperate, quell people's grievances, and stabilize current affairs, the First Emperor believed that Fusu could do a good job.

The First Emperor smiled and tipped the kettle over, but the tea was already empty.

"Go back to the palace and bring some tea." The First Emperor waved his hand.

Zhao Si understood this and knew that the First Emperor was chasing people away, so he bowed and resigned.

After Zhao Si left, the First Emperor was left alone looking at the dry tea in the cup with a sense of loss.

He was not surprised by what Fusu did, because when he was young, he would simply choose to trust.

Mother Zhao Ji, father-in-law Lu Buwei, and even his brother Chenglong...

Which of these people was not his closest person?
Even compared to Fusu's brothers and friends, these people had accompanied the First Emperor through the most difficult years.

Private love in heaven...

What worried the First Emperor was that he was not as close to his own son Fusu as Zhao Si, an outsider.

The First Emperor had indeed lost his composure, otherwise he would not have said so much to Zhao Si.

"Ugh……"

A faint sigh came from the empty hall.

He had eighteen children, but none of them was as good as Zhao Si.

The First Emperor even always had a strange feeling, as if Zhao Si was the one who could understand what he was doing the most.

In an instant, the First Emperor couldn't help but have other thoughts in his mind, "What if I am like this son?"

……

On the other side, after Zhao Si left the palace, he immediately came to Jiang Zuo Shaofu.

Liu Pi rushed to Zhao Si immediately, with a smile on his face and an expression of impatient inquiry.

"I've met Shangqing..." Liu Pi bowed and saluted, and then asked directly with a probing look on his face.

"Your Majesty came here today, could it be because of what you said before?"

Zhao Si nodded with a smile on his face.

"Fortunately, I went to see Your Majesty. I tried my best to persuade Your Majesty. However, the craftsmanship bureau was initially established with neither merit nor wealth. It cannot be set up independently like the Five Grain Garden. It can only be set up for the time being. It is located under the jurisdiction of the Aviation Trade Military Mansion.

But sir, don’t worry about it. I am in charge of the Aviation and Trade Military Mansion, and the craftsmanship bureau is located within the Aviation and Trade Military Mansion. You only need to report to me, and you don’t need to take orders from others. When it is completed in the future, the craftsmanship bureau will be like a grain garden. Generally speaking, it is independent of the Sangong and Jiuqing! "Zhao Si said.

"Okay! Okay! Okay, okay!" Liu Pi was surprised when he heard this!
What is a grain garden?It was Da Qin's grain bag. Farmers had entered through the back door, but because it was endorsed by high-yield grains and three kinds of fairy grains, the civil and military officials of the entire court could only hold their noses and recognize it.

But the craftsmanship situation is different, and the Mohist family cannot touch the Sangong and Jiuqing.

If you want to be independent from the Three Gongs and Nine Qings, you really have to show your true abilities.

Now it's enough to get an iron rice bowl and provide jobs, but what else do you need a bicycle?

The Mo family has reached a moment of life and death!
"Do you want me to summon the Mohist disciples? When will we leave?" Liu Pi had an impatient look on his face.

"There's no rush. We have to let the Aviation Trade Military Mansion free up the room. Before that, I have to make an agreement with my husband." Zhao Si said with a smile on his face.

The smile on Liu Pi's face was slightly blocked. Now that it's done, it's of course time for Zhao Si to raise conditions.

"Please give me your instructions!" Liu Pi nodded.

"First: within the craftsmanship, we only talk about techniques, not the meaning of scriptures!

Second: Don’t exclude others from learning from other schools.

Third: If you enter, you will not be able to serve as a court official!
Please be aware of these three principles, sir, and explain them when you summon your disciples, so as to avoid chaos in the future. "Zhao Si said seriously.

The Mohist School is only the largest academic organization in this era that studies technology, but it does not mean that other intellectuals do not like to invent.

Taking a step back, in addition to the Mohists, there are also public losers. The Craftsmanship Bureau has never been the private domain and back garden of the Mohists, and Zhao Si did not allow the emergence of academic factions in the Craftsmanship Bureau.

What Zhao Si wanted was never a Mohist, but a group of intellectuals who could delve into science.
Likewise, he could not allow anyone to use the craftsmanship bureau as a springboard to enter the court.

Once you enter the craftsmanship bureau, don't even think about leaving. Zhao Si hopes that scientific research can be as pure as possible.

To put it bluntly, both officials and the opposition can invent and study science and technology, but if you choose to join the Craftsmanship Bureau, there is no way out and you must focus on science.
