Great Qin Shi Empress

==·==

Lin Qian and Ying Zheng didn't know that a mere animation almost triggered a change in the heir of the Xiang family.

But even if they knew it, they wouldn't have any thoughts about it.

After all, this kind of situation, as early as when Ying Zheng asked people to write textbooks, he knew that this situation would happen.

In other words, they are textbooks written for this purpose.

The situation of Xiang Yu's family is definitely not an isolated case. The same situation as that of Xiang Yu and Xiang You still occurs in every corner of Qin, but most of them are affected by subtle influences, and they are not as clear as Xiang Liang and Xiang You. Where does the change come from.

Even most people don't even know that there has been a change in their body——

They just feel that their sense of belonging to Qin State is stronger, and they are willing to work hard to build Qin State. If Qin State encounters bad things, they will be willing to do their part to help Qin State overcome difficulties. .

For Ying Zheng and Lin Qian, such a change was even more gratifying than seeing the cities on the grassland being built one after another.

But it's a pity that these changes all happened in people's minds, and the two of them had no way of knowing.

Since there is no way to know, Ying Zheng and Lin Qian naturally have no way to pay attention to it, and even express and praise it, they can only focus on the place where it is easier to pay attention to——

For example, those built cities on the grassland.

With the passage of time, the place where the city was originally planned to be built, with the efforts of Xiao He and Xiao, at worst the foundation of the city was built, and the cities in those places near the Central Plains have even built the city to seven or seven Eighty-eight, just waiting for the final finishing touches.

Besides these cities, what the two of them were most concerned about was the factories opened in the Western Regions.

Lu Zhi and Zhang Fu, who were in charge of going to the Western Regions, were originally building wool factories and garment factories, which had experience in opening factories in various parts of the Central Plains. It is also welcome to transport to the Central Plains after secondary processing, so the two stayed there for a while after consulting Ying Zheng.

With the experience of opening other factories, the two of them just bought fruits and recruited local people into the factory as workers. The construction of the factory can be handed over to the local government, and it doesn't take them too much time.

Therefore, in just half a year, the two have already opened fruit factories in various countries in the Western Regions.

After several months of adaptation, the fruit factory was on the right track, and the two had a reconciliation at the Kucha Congress, and then they were ready to leave for Xianyang.

However, neither of them ever thought that there would be an accident on their trip back to China this time.

Not a bad accident, but...

After Ying Zheng heard that they had returned to Xianyang, he personally met Lu Zhi and Zhang Fu.

Before the two went to the Western Regions, although they often went out, their originally white and delicate skin became rough and yellowed, which seemed to be very different from ordinary noble women.

But compared with Lu Zhi and Zhang Fu today, the two of them back then were really fair and beautiful.

It's not that the current Lu Zhi and Zhang Fu are not good-looking, but that the skin color of the two is darker and rougher than before, making it difficult for people to recognize them at first glance.

It was only after trying to recall for a while that Ying Zheng found a trace of familiarity in the facial features of the two.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng couldn't help doubting his decision to send the two of them to the Western Regions.

Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to explain...

How much the two have changed now.

However, there is no difference between the two of them, or in other words, the two of them are even more satisfied with their current changes than before——

Because they know very well that all the changes in themselves will turn into ladders to climb up in the future.Therefore, when the two of them faced Ying Zheng, they held their heads high, their eyes firm and sharp, without any weakness or hesitation.

Ying Zheng did not disappoint the efforts of the two of them.

Although the position of Sangong Jiuqing has been fully occupied by people, there is no way to make room for the two, but there are still many officials around Sangong Jiuqing, and they are arranged under Sangong Jiuqing, It is indeed more in line with the promotion process of ordinary officials, and they will not be gossiped when they are promoted in the future.

One of these two people was born in an aristocratic family, and their ancestors even served as prime ministers. Even though their ancestors have nothing to show for them, they have never really declined for so many years, and the inheritance they should have has never been cut off.

Therefore, the two knew that Ying Zheng's arrangement was the best for them.

Ying Zheng looked at the two of them: "The two prime ministers, the Yushi doctor, and the Taiwei don't have suitable official positions around them, but there are several officials of the Jiuqing who still have positions. Among them, Wei Wei and Lang Zhongling's subordinates have the same duties What you are good at does not match, and it would be a waste to arrange you there rashly."

"The remaining officials who are more suitable for the two of you are Dianke, Tingwei, and Shaofu, the three subordinate officials of the Jiuqing sect. It's just that the subordinate officials of the three of them only have one position, and they cannot arrange the two of you there. Yourselves Discuss which subordinate official you would like to go to."

Lu Zhi and Zhang Fu looked at each other, never expecting that they would still have the opportunity to choose an official position.

But this is a good opportunity for them, so after looking at each other, they lowered their heads and thought.

For Lu Zhi, the first thing that needs to be ruled out is the subordinate officer named Tingwei——

The reason is also simple, today's Ting Wei is Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang is Zhang Fu's cousin.

Although Zhang Tingwei has a lot of affairs that need to be managed in recent years, and serving as an official under his name will learn more things and make better use of his strengths, Zhang Fu may choose to work under Zhang Liang's family. Big, in order to avoid a fight in the end, she had better give up.

The scope of duties of Dianke's subordinates is actually very consistent with Lu Zhi's previous actions. There are few other officials.

Therefore, Lu Zhi directly chose to serve as an official under the name of the Shaofu.

Although the main responsibility of the Shaofu was to be in charge of the emperor's private property, its details also included officials in charge of water conservancy affairs like the chief of water.

Moreover, as an official of the Shaofu, there will be more opportunities to meet Shengyan than other officials, and naturally there will be more opportunities to show one's talents.

Of course, Lu Zhi's most important thing is that the young mansion is Lin Qian.

Although it seems that Linqian, the Shaofu, currently only governs His Majesty's private property, but according to Lu Zhi, Gu Fenghou often presents refreshing things, and often has intersections with other Jiuqing, if you follow her With blue eyes, you can naturally get in touch with more people and accumulate contacts.

however……

How could Zhang Fu not think of what Lu Zhi could think of?

It's just that compared to Lu Zhi, Lin Qian is not the only choice for Zhang Fu, she can also choose to become a subordinate officer of Tingwei——

The possibility of becoming a Dianke official was ruled out by Zhang Fu at the first time.

Like Lu Zhi, Zhang Fu also thought that Lu Zhi might give up the possibility of becoming an official of the court lieutenant in order to avoid conflicts, and also thought that if he wanted to strive to become an official of the Shaofu, he would also be unable to avoid conflicts.

When the two were in the Western Regions, they worked together and became little sisters who talked about everything without talking to each other, but they also developed a feeling of sympathy for each other.

So after struggling for a while, Zhang Fu had the possibility of giving up becoming an official of the Shaofu.

but……

The moment she was about to speak, Zhang Fu thought of a question: Since Zhang Liang is her cousin, should she avoid suspicion when choosing her?

Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help looking at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng listened to his heartbeat, and although he was a little speechless, he still said, "Don't worry about family relationship. If I cared about this, I wouldn't have let Wang Ben follow Wang Jian to the battlefield in the first place."

Wang Jian and Wang Ben are still father and son, Zhang Liang and Zhang Fu are just cousins.

Furthermore, there are not only father and son Wang Jian and Wang Ben in this court, Li Si's son also occupies a high position in the court, Meng Wu and Meng Tian are also father and son...

Besides, Feng Jie and Feng Quji are still brothers.

From Feng Jiguan to the prime minister, Feng Jie will be affected by him no matter what position he holds.

If he really minded, half of these people would need to switch places.

It's not that the entire department is Zhang's family, so he won't feel bad about it, or suspect that the two are forming a clique for personal gain.

Zhang Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Lu Zhi: "I want to go to Zhang Tingwei's family."

There was a slight smile in Lu Zhi's eyes: "I want to go to the Lin Shaofu's sect."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Yes, I will make an order immediately."

……

But before issuing the imperial decree, the two have more important things to report.

After the two looked at each other, Zhang Fu lowered his head first, and Lu Zhi simply explained the situation: "Return to Your Majesty, there is actually one more thing we need to report to Your Majesty when we enter the palace this time."

Ying Zheng was about to send someone to fetch the imperial edict, when he heard the words, he raised his head and looked at the two of them: "What's the matter?"

Lu Zhi took a deep breath and said, "People from all over the Western Regions didn't know what they thought when they heard that we were going back to Qin. They suddenly found us and offered to go back to Xianyang with us. Although some of them were just Want to do business with Qin, but more people..."

"Based on what they said, I seem to want to come to Qin to settle down."

Ying Zheng paused: "Settled?"

Lu Zhi nodded: "In the past two years, more and more businessmen have traveled between countries in the Western Regions and Qin State. They brought back more money and novelty commodities, and at the same time brought news related to Qin State. Among them, Qin State All kinds of novel objects that have just been developed in these years are regarded as miracles by many people."

"In order to sell the goods in their hands at a higher price, some merchants even publicized among the local royal family and the common people that those goods were created by gods."

"It may be that the life of the people in Qin State is so good that the merchants said that many people were moved, so that this time they heard that we were going back to the country and wanted to go with us."

"Weichen and Zhang Fu refused many times, and even asked the soldiers to threaten us with force, but when we set off, many people still caught up with us with their luggage." Lu Zhi felt a headache when he thought of the situation at that time. "They just followed our team at a distance and didn't disturb us. In addition, they are all familiar local people, and all of them are unarmed..."

Lu Zhi lowered his head a little ashamedly, "We can only let them follow behind."

Seeing that Lu Zhi had finished speaking, Zhang Fu raised his head and added: "Actually, there are quite a few blond, white-skinned, and tall-nosed foreigners who came back to Xianyang with us this time. I heard that they came from countries outside the Western Regions." Migrate to the Western Regions."

"It's just a language barrier, and we don't know what their purpose is."

Ying Zheng was silent for a while, and asked, "How many people are here?"

Lu Zhi hesitated and said, "There are about 2 people."

Ying Zheng: "Twenty thousand???"

He thought it was only a few thousand at most, but he didn't expect there to be as many as [-].

Lu Zhi and Zhang Fu looked at each other with bitterness in their eyes.

Ying Zheng looked at the two of them and paused: "If there are only a few hundred or thousands of people, the widows can arrange them at will. But the number of [-] is too much, and if it is not handled properly, it will easily lead to bad results, and wait until tomorrow. Let's talk again."

The two breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to thank each other.

Before Lin Qian returned to Xianyang Palace, he received the imperial decree from Ying Zheng.

Along with the imperial decree, there is also the new water chief Lu Zhi.

She got up to welcome the imperial edict, said goodbye to the servant and looked at Lu Zhi: "I only knew that you came back with Zhang Fu, but I didn't expect to become my subordinate."

Lu Zhi's heart tightened: "If Marquis Gu Feng is not willing, I can go to His Majesty for a humble job..."

"No, no, no," Lin Qian shook his head quickly, "I'm glad you can come. I've been busy recently, and you can lighten my burden by coming here."

What's more, Lu's pheasant's intelligence and ability have been verified by history.

After speaking, Lin Qian immediately took Lu Zhi to the office where the chief of the water was, and then called the chief of the water, and asked him to bring all the official documents that the chief of the capital needed to deal with to Lu Zhi.

She said frankly: "Because this position has been vacant for a long time, and I was personally responsible for the water conservancy projects all over the country before, the affairs that the Dushui chief needs to be responsible for have been in charge of me and Dushui Cheng all the year round, but since you are here, the relevant The duties are left to you."

Lu Zhi was startled. She thought that she would have to adjust for a period of time after she took office before she could personally accept related affairs, but she didn't expect that she would be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Lin Qian as soon as she took office.

She rarely felt a little guilty: "I don't know much about water conservancy, I'm afraid it will take some time to learn and get familiar..."

Lin Qian said directly: "It's okay, you first pick out the official documents that you can handle, and ask Du Shuicheng if you can't handle them, and ask me directly if you still don't understand. If you have anything to ask, don't ask Have concerns."

After finishing speaking, he looked directly at Du Shuicheng: "You help Chief Dushui understand the relevant affairs, and you will feel relaxed after she gets started."

Du Shuicheng nodded again and again: "I understand the humble job."

After Lin Qian finished speaking, she comforted Lu Zhi a few words, and then quickly returned to her office room to continue handling official duties.

Seeing Lin Qian's furious look, Lu Zhi opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

This is completely different from Gu Fenghou in her imagination.

Du Shuicheng looked at Lu Zhi's shocked look, and said with a smile: "You will know when you stay in Shaofu for a while, Lin Shaofu is not usually like this. It's just that the autumn harvest is approaching recently, and the demand for irrigation all over the country has suddenly increased , and the corresponding affairs have also increased several times, which is why they have become so impatient."

He smiled, "It will be fine after the autumn harvest."

When Lu Zhi heard this, he instantly understood the urgency of his mission.

She almost subconsciously picked up the official document and wanted to deal with it, but at the last moment, she set her eyes on Du Shuicheng: "Well, you are staying in Du Shuicheng's position..."

Shui Cheng and Lin Qian looked very familiar, and they should have stayed in Shaofu for a long time.

Lu Zhi is not worried that the relationship between the two will affect his work, but he is worried that he has taken away the position of Du Shuicheng——

It's a bit hateful to parachute into a certain position and snatch away the candidate that was originally agreed upon by tacit agreement.

If this is the case, Lu Zhi will have to do things in the future...

Du Shuicheng grinned: "It's been four or five years. I was assigned to the Shaofu when I was admitted as a petty official at eighteen, and I sat in this position within two years. But don't worry, if I was really capable, Shaofu Lin would have sent me to the Shaofu a long time ago. He has been promoted to the position of Dushui Chief."

Lu Zhi paused, and his eyes fell on Du Shuicheng: "You really don't mind?"

Du Shuicheng laughed: "I really don't mind. Don't worry, Lin Shaofu said that I will be promoted to other positions in the future. The position of Du Shuichang... I am really not suitable."

Lu Zhi was skeptical, but now the work was urgent, so she immediately picked up the official documents and began to deal with them.

Telling Lin Qian that she doesn't understand the relevant matters is just modesty. As the magistrate of a county, how could she not understand the water conservancy related to the next year's grain harvest?Almost after a rough understanding of the specific steps and details, Lu Zhi immediately got started.

Lin Qian was extremely pleasantly surprised by this, but such joy only waited until that night.

Ying Zheng raised the issue of resettlement of the 2 people.

Lin Qian: "2 people?"
