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

Chapter 515 This is Lao Qin!

"Your Majesty...you are serious!"

The words of the First Emperor were not trivial, and were even a bit exaggerated in a strict sense.

This obviously does not fit the image of the First Emperor in their minds. The current First Emperor is still powerful, but it gives them a familiar feeling.

Protect the calf?

The kind of old man who dotes on his juniors very much, even to the point of being unreasonable?

This is probably what it feels like...

"I am not here to hold you accountable...Don't be afraid. You are old people and Si'er is still young, so you should be more considerate." The First Emperor smiled, and the seriousness on his face slowly melted away.

"I will stay in Tangquan for a while longer, and the three clan elders can come here often." The First Emperor waved his hand and looked at Meng Yi.

"Prepare a car...send the three elderly people back."

Meng Yi nodded and sent the palace servants to prepare the carriages and horses. The three clan elders were confused and left in their cars with their thoughts in mind.

"Are the cultivated fields near Tangquan well taken care of now?" The three elders left, and the First Emperor did not mention them again, but asked the question he was most concerned about.

Political changes, trends and public opinions, messy things, all the major events that everyone in the world seemed to care about were not as important as those few acres of grain in the heart of the First Emperor.

What the First Emperor was most concerned about was whether the little child slave could inherit the miracles of his great sage grandson, and whether the Qin Dynasty could continue to have a future without worries about food.

The First Emperor was concerned about the future of Qin, and Zhao Si was not idle either.

As a person close to the First Emperor, he could understand many things. His Highness the Grand Sun and the Young Master had their own supernatural powers and auspiciousness from heaven. This was the blessing of the Qin Dynasty. How could a person in this position not understand the importance of food?

This was his opportunity, but Meng Yi had no choice.

In the past, there was no shortage of things that looked good but were empty.

As for whether there is a complete inheritance, it ultimately comes down to grain production.

After leaving the palace and coming to Tangquan, the First Emperor sent people to cultivate fields near Tangquan. He took his little slaves for a walk every day to conduct controlled experiments.

The Grain Garden was the top priority of the Qin Dynasty, and the First Emperor frequently inspected it on weekdays. Therefore, the First Emperor was very aware of the growth of grain at various stages in the Grain Garden.

Yesterday, the First Emperor allowed himself to make a new choice, perhaps out of pity for the people around him. Meng Yi knew that everyone in the world said that the First Emperor was the king of tigers and wolves, but in Meng Yi's heart, he knew that the First Emperor had a lot of humane feelings.

Wheat seedlings at this stage are not afraid of being stepped on, nor are they afraid of snow. On the contrary, it is better when the snow comes, so it is often said that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest.

In fact... although Zhao Si did only show off his abnormality to the First Emperor.

There is a hero at the top, and a coward at the bottom...

"I am stupid..." Meng Yi shook his head.

The First Emperor nodded: "Take me over and have a look..."

Meng Yi paused upon hearing this and took the First Emperor to the cultivated land near Tangquan.

At this time of his life, his father was wearing the aura of dominating the world, and his sons and grandsons were like auspicious blessings descending from heaven...

"Did you see it?" The First Emperor smiled.

Although the eldest son has become the crown prince, his status is somewhat embarrassing.

It's not that bad, it's just that I feel some sad pity for the eldest son.

"The growth is quite gratifying. Judging from the growth alone, the food in the Grain Garden is probably no better than this. Tangquan is still a growing place, but it will still be some time before the food will be produced. I am afraid there will be another snowfall in winter. , I don’t dare to be arbitrary." Meng Yi said.

Meng Yi nodded, feeling a little regretful.

The First Emperor looked at the lush green and felt very happy.

It's winter... but the weather this year is much better than in previous years.

But Meng Yi followed the First Emperor and followed him in and out. He was not a fool. How could he not see the clues?

"This... is the great empire of the Qin Dynasty." The First Emperor didn't mind Meng Yi's act of pretending to be confused, pointing to a lush wheat field and sighing enthusiastically.

"Bring me a young slave..." The First Emperor narrowed his eyes.

In fact this is not a difficult thing...

The newly planted wheat has sprouted lush green shoots.

Are you sorry? Abandoned a road to the sky?

As for grain... Whether it's good or not, it won't be considered a real bumper harvest until the moment the grains fall to the ground.

Wheat can survive the winter...

The reason why no one was arrested before was because the legal officials in the customs were negligent, not because the other party's criminal methods were so superb.

Therefore, it can naturally be seen that Meng Yi did not lie.

Zhi Jinwu was dispatched under Zhao Si's order, and he devoted more than ten times his energy to arrest the person who threw excrement in front of Li Si's house.

Getting things done is not something that leaders can just talk about. It is those with low status who really put it into practice.

This also shows that Xiaozhinu probably inherited some of Zhao Si's miraculous abilities in terms of influencing food production.

"Alas... we are all descendants, how can we end up with the eldest son and then disappear?"

The growth is good, but we still can't take it lightly until the food comes out.

It can be said that Zhao Si's position as the crown prince and Xiao Zhinu's position as the crown prince are no longer stable.

Just from the growth point of view, there is not much difference between Tangquan Xindi with Xiao Zongnu and Wuguyuan with Zhao Si.

It is self-evident whether he is really stupid or just pretending to be confused.

Li Si's public betrayal angered the entire group of old officials.

Someone throws excrement, which naturally makes people happy.

It's not difficult to cover up each other, but it's not difficult to push the blame.

After Zhi Jinwu went out, there was no such trouble. It only took less than two days to arrest the thief who poured excrement on Li Si's door.

He is not a big shot, and there is no conspiracy behind him. He is just an ordinary old Qin man and a serious Qin official.

No one instigated it, just out of righteous indignation...

In fact, this is the norm. When emotions are brewing, there are always passionate young people who vent their emotions regardless of the consequences and unknowingly become weapons in the hands of others.

"The guilty minister Jian, please see Your Highness!"

The young man was brought into the palace by Zhi Jinwu and brought to Zhao Si.

Because of the interrogation, Jane's condition was not very good. She had many scars on her body and looked quite haggard.

This is the case in this era. Zhijinwu is a violent organization. If the matter were not sensitive, whether Jane could come out would be a problem.

This is also due to the fact that Zhi Jinwu is now the commander-in-chief of Zhao Si's younger brother Ji Cheng, who is cautious.

If it were someone with such ambition and cruelty, he would probably have to use all kinds of means to force Jian to bite the court officials and handle a major case.

This was a routine operation in ancient times. In this era, there is no so-called rule of law. Legalist law and modern rule of law are completely different concepts.

For gray institutions such as Jinyiwei, Jinwu, etc., the chain of evidence has never been particularly important to them. What they have to do is to give the superiors reasons to use the sword.

Ji Cheng was cautious and would not make his own decisions. This was the main reason why Zhao Si insisted on letting Ji Cheng be the commander-in-chief of Jinwu.

Ji Cheng will not handle a case just for the sake of solving a big case.

Even if something really happens, I will report and discuss it with myself privately instead of using my power to implement it. This kind of gray violent organization needs to be very careful in selecting people. They must be crazy and cruel enough, but also loyal enough.

Just like now, if Zhao Si wants to expand the matter, in one word, Ji Cheng can make Jian Pan bite it out, evidence? Just have a confession.

If Zhao Si wants to stop at settling the matter, then he should stop there.

Zhao Si handed the knife to Ji Cheng. He didn't need to be very capable, but he had to be obedient enough.

The rights of gray violent organizations cannot be restricted. They are inherently independent of the judicial system. If they do not have enough rights, they cannot accomplish anything, and they will only make people laugh.

If a knife is handed out and no one feels it is dangerous, isn't that just throwing your face out to be beaten by others?

Jane went through a lot of torture, but still bowed to Zhao Si honestly.

When he raised his head, he glanced at Li Si who was sitting beside him. Anger flashed in his eyes, and he was staring straight at Li Si without any fear, his eyes were about to burst, and he wanted to eat people.

"The file says you are a Qin official?" Zhao Si asked with a smile.

"Reporting to your highness, I studied in the academy, passed the exam by luck, and am now the official of Xianyang." Jian Wensheng answered word by word, emphasizing the word "school".

"Since you are from an orthodox school, you must be very familiar with Qin Law?" Zhao Si asked.

"Eighteen Qin laws, I know them by heart every word!" A trace of pride flashed across Jian Wensheng's face, and she answered solemnly.

"In that case, tell me, what crimes did throwing feces on the wall of the Prime Minister's house violate according to Qin law, and how should we deal with it?" Zhao Si said with a smile.

"The first crime is the following, the second crime is openly provoking, the third crime is ignorance of the law and breaking the law...According to the Qin law, the three crimes are jointly punished, and the crime is the same as breaking the car..." Jian Wensheng answered solemnly, but there was no fear on his face.

Zhao Si was stunned. The other party was obviously a fool.

He actually made his guilt clear.

Li Si is a Shangguan, with a much higher title than him, and he knows the law and breaks it...

Qin Fa gave many preferential treatment to high-ranking nobles, paying special attention to the superiority and inferiority of superiors and subordinates. It is really a crime for a higher-ranking noble to crush someone to death. When they meet on the road, it is a crime for a person with a lower-ranking title not to give way to someone with a higher-ranking title...

For someone like Jane, it's no longer as simple as jumping one level.

Li Si was just short of being granted the title of Marquis, and it was just a mere change...

Zhao Si looked at Li Si.

If these crimes are added up, will the car really be broken?

Li Si nodded silently...

The laws of the Qin Dynasty were mainly based on old rules. Unlike modern times, the scope of crime was clearly defined.

But when it comes to committing crimes, you need to know that in practice, not everyone will commit crimes according to the law. Their criminal behavior and content are different. Therefore, most of the execution and implementation of legal provisions in this era must refer to the old laws. Some cases.

Li Si nodded, which means...Jian's Qin Lv skills are really good.

It's a cracked car, it's a cracked car. Li Si personally certified that he is a good student.

After all, looking forward, no one is throwing shit at the Prime Minister's house, so there is nothing for reference.

"You learned Qin Lv well..." Zhao Si smiled.

"Since you knew the consequences before you acted, have you ever regretted it now?" Zhao Si asked.

"No regrets." Jane shook her head heavily.

"But I have a grudge in my heart!" After saying this, his eyes with hatred fell on Li Si again.

"Don't rush to complain, I haven't finished asking yet." Zhao Si waved his hand.

"One thing is very strange. Since you knew before you committed the crime that the car will be torn apart and the body will die, why not just be happy with your grudges, show off your courage, and do something that will cause blood to splash in five steps? If you are not afraid of death, why? Are you afraid of this? Or do you think I will make an exception and spare your life?" Zhao Si asked with interest.

Li Si's brows jumped as he listened.

His Highness Taisun's bad taste is really in the same vein as the First Emperor.

The person involved is sitting next to you. You ask him why he didn't assassinate me? Do you do shit instead?

Are you co-authoring this teaching?

"I am alone in the car accident, but the assassination will involve my family." Jane shook her head.

"Isn't that right... If you are guilty of your crime, your family will also be made ministers." Zhao Si raised his eyebrows.

Jian Wensheng was silent for a moment, mumbling for a long time but didn't know how to answer Zhao Si's question.

Yes, why don't you do the assassination yourself?

The situations on the left and right are similar...

It is true that if Li Si was assassinated, his family would die because of the attack.

But throwing excrement is not much better, the family members will be even made ministers.

Jian is a Qin official, so of course he knows that there is no difference between becoming a minister and dying.

It's all a matter of time...it's just a matter of time.

Li Si looked at Zhao Si strangely, as if wondering why Zhao Si kept worrying about why the other party didn't assassinate him.

Zhao Si looked at Jane who kept mumbling and couldn't answer. He laughed out loud and pointed at Li Si.

"This is the official of Guanzhong, this is the old Qin people, this is the root of Great Qin." Zhao Si stood up and walked to Jian, squatted down and patted her on the shoulder.

"Raise your head and look at Gu..."

Jane raised her head when she heard the sound.

He hated Li Si for diving in public, and also resented Zhao Si for opening up a school.

But the education and books he had received since childhood made him still uncontrollably devoted to Zhao Si.

Legalism is actually better than Confucianism in domesticating thoughts.

Legalism does not emphasize loyalty, but the purpose of Legalism is to serve the king in everything and put loyalty into action.

Jane raised her head, but didn't dare to look directly...

Even at this moment, I felt a little guilty and ashamed.

Because the education he had been exposed to since childhood told him that he should be like the king.

Even if it means killing him...

Zhao Si is the crown prince and oversees the country...so he also has the attributes of a king.

"Do you understand now?" Zhao Si asked.

"I... don't want to cause any trouble to His Highness..." Jian muttered, avoiding Zhao Si's gaze.

"But if you do this, it is equivalent to throwing Prime Minister Li's face on the ground, and still causing trouble." Zhao Si smiled.

"My lord is guilty!"

When Jane heard the sound, her face turned gray, and she bowed her head and knocked on the ground, her head falling heavily and making a dull sound.

"I deserve death for my crime!"
