Great Qin Shi Empress

That's how the trip was finalized.

Although the reason why Ying Zheng wanted to go on tour at first was to reassure Lin Qian, but as he said, the news that Ying Zheng is going to tour the world at a time when people are panicking can indeed appease the hearts of the people to a certain extent.

In addition, it is now possible to travel by train, which is more convenient than in the past, and it will not take too much time on the road. In fact, a tour only takes a few days to a month.

So when Yingzheng brought up this matter when he was in the court, no one in the court objected.

So the next day, Lin Qian ordered people to pack their bags, and set off directly with Ying Zheng and others.

Because it is estimated that they will only go on tour for half a month to a month, and Lin Qian and Ying Zheng are not materialistic people, so they don't need to prepare too many things. Basically, they only need to bring the latest clothes and necessities. Items are enough.

After all, there are other things on the train.

Not long after, they set off to the first city.

The local sheriff was waiting for the train station, and greeted them almost as soon as they arrived at the station, and then took everyone to the accommodation that had been arranged in advance.

And along the way, there were special reporters who followed and saved the picture of the meeting of the two parties, and wrote an article later, and sent the report to Xianyang to be published in the newspaper, so that the people all over the world would know where Ying Zheng was.

This is also Ying Zheng's arrangement.

Since he said that the tour was to appease the people, he naturally had to do it to the extreme.

What's more, not long after the news that Xingzi had fallen in a certain place spread, the imperial court published the latest maternity leave and other related decrees in major newspapers.

First the stars fell, and then the imperial court promulgated "outrageous" laws.

Sure enough, someone connected the two things together: Not long after the decree was promulgated, some people who were dissatisfied with the decree fished in troubled waters, trying to write to the newspaper to criticize the decree just promulgated by the imperial court for angering the gods, and then the warning was issued.

There are not just one or two such people, but hundreds or thousands.

But unfortunately, after these letters were sent to the newspaper office, they were mercilessly detained.

The imperial court doesn’t mind if they write letters to vent their dissatisfaction. If you are talented in writing, it’s okay to directly insinuate that the decree issued by the imperial court is very bad——

If not, then the first scolding war in history would not have appeared in the newspapers.

But such provocative articles...

Zhang Liang is not stupid, how could he publish it?

Seeing that all the letters they have submitted many times have been rejected, how can those people be willing to let it go?So they not only found a photocopy shop to make many copies of their articles, but also sent several letters to the newspaper office every day, and then they even came up with the idea of ​​starting a newspaper by themselves.

This is not particularly difficult, after all, the imperial court has never said that private printing of books and newspapers is not allowed——

Inspired by modern times, Ying Zheng asked Zhang Liang to give out some publication numbers to some unofficial bookstores every year, and at the same time gave each bookstore a chance to start a newspaper.

So in theory, those people can start a newspaper as long as they have a bookshop.

Coincidentally, some of those people actually opened a bookshop.

So, a few "like-minded" people gathered together and decided to seek government approval and start a newspaper by themselves.

Before finding the official office, several people thought of the letters that had disappeared from each other, and couldn't help worrying that the officials in charge of the matter in the official office would embarrass them in the process of going through the formalities.

But, no one cares.

They came to the government office with the deed of the bookstore, and after checking and confirming that what they said was true, they were directly issued a license to start a newspaper.

Everything is incredibly fast.

But when they decided to really imitate those issued by the imperial court to create a new newspaper, they realized how difficult it was.

Leaving aside other technical problems, as long as you have money, you can always solve them perfectly.

However, in the content of the newspaper, they fell into distress——

In order to save resources, the popular newspapers nowadays are double-page four-page format, and some newspapers with more content, such as Qin Guo Daily, even have two pages.

The pages of newspapers are very large. If you want to publish a decent newspaper, you must at least fill all the pages with content, right?

But they got the newspaper's qualifications in a hurry because they were excited, and they had no idea about starting a newspaper, let alone filling four pages of newspaper content. If they followed the layout arrangement of other newspapers, they would Couldn't even find the content to fill a board.

In the end, they had no other choice, they decided to enlarge the text, and then published all the letters written by the few people in the newspaper.

After moving around for a while, I managed to cobble together a newspaper that was as big as a text.

Then when it was sold at a bookstore...

Nobody cares.

Today's newspapers cost a piece of paper, but with the same price, people can only buy a newspaper with more than half of the content in their bookstores. Who wants it?

Besides, the content in the newspaper is useless and not interesting!

It's all groundless speculation and angry words, and it's novel to read an article, but what if the entire newspaper is full of such content?

Novelty?No, readers will only find it boring and boring.

So although some people picked up the newspaper and read it at the beginning, the newspaper was placed on the counter of the book store for two full days, but none of them were sold.

These people lost a lot.

They also finally knew why the well-known newspapers are still those published by the imperial court, and the newspapers published by the people are not known at all except for the local reputation.

They were a little reconciled at first, thinking that the readers might not know the goods.

But soon, the imperial court released the report that Yingzheng arrived at the first city and met the local sheriff and other officials.

Now, no one can even read the newspaper.

……

This kind of thing happened in many corners of the Qin country. After the number of people increased, there were a few people with real skills who really appeared, and the newspapers they published really opened up some sales.

But after the prophecy was published, those newspapers also fell silent.

……

Ying Zheng and Lin Qian didn't know that a large number of private newspapers had appeared in various places in a certain period of time, but even if they knew, they didn't have time to pay attention. ,

Because their tour is not for fun.

In addition to photos and reports, Yingzheng brought people out this time to check whether there have been corruption, bribery and malfeasance in various counties and their subordinates. Taxation and education in various places also need to be reviewed.

So after taking a rest, everyone immediately fell into a busy situation.

But it may be that Yingzheng took people to Jiuyuan County before and killed too many officials with corpses and vegetarian meals, so this tour did not find out too many problems——

There must be some minor faults, but just a fine is enough, and it won't cost you your life.

As a result, the workload of Ying Zheng and others has also been reduced a lot.

In about three days, Ying Zheng and others checked the internal affairs of a county clearly, and then packed up, ready to go to the next city.

……

And just when Ying Zheng, Lin Qian and others arrived at the second city, the prophecy on the meteorite that fell from the sky in Dongjun was finally discovered by the soldiers and it was photographed and published in the newspaper.

As soon as the group got off the train, they saw the sheriff and the magistrate.

But this time, they didn't look very happy after seeing Ying Zheng. Instead, they all looked uneasy, as if they had done something wrong.

Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng in surprise, and then looked at the sheriff in unison.

Maybe Yingzheng was too oppressive, so the county guard didn't dare to let it go, so he ordered someone to deliver a newspaper to Yingzheng, Lin Qian and the others.

On the front page of the newspaper was a strange black stone.

And on the stone, the "prophecy" of "those who follow the Qin Dynasty will prosper" is written.

To be honest, kind of fast.

No one expected that God would be so good that such a rain would fall at such an appropriate time.

But after reading the report, everyone was very happy.

Seeing everyone's calm reaction, even with a little smile on the corner of their mouths, the county guard was stunned for a while, but he finally felt relieved.

A group of people followed the sheriff to the residence, and soon got busy again.

As the most beautiful girl in ten miles and eight towns, Amei has always had a lot of suitors around her. In order to marry her, many people even offered to marry her.

Of course she was happy, but because her son-in-law had a bad reputation at this time, and the law of Qin also stipulated that her son-in-law would need to do much more military and corvee service than usual, so even if the other party was willing, Amei's parents were not willing.

Because they are worried that if they really marry each other, they will often worry about their husbands in the future.

Although there is only one daughter, Amei, her parents still hope that she can marry normally like other girls, and then go to her husband's family to take care of her husband and teach her children.

Amy herself doesn't want to.

So after finding out that her parents were stubborn and couldn't make sense at all, she directly signed up and entered the academy, and then became an official official with her own efforts. Location.

Although the official position is still very low, the county magistrate said that she acted with restraint, and she might not be able to reach the position of county magistrate or even county magistrate in the future.

This is an official position that no one in her family's ancestors has ever held!

But it was also at this time that she realized that even if she had a bright future, if she really wanted to sit in the position of magistrate in the future, she would not be able to do it as smoothly as the county magistrate said——

A Mei heard that the county magistrate of the next county went home to wait for delivery after she was pregnant, and the county magistrate took her place to handle official duties on her behalf. With the opportunity, he successfully entered the county town and won the attention of the county guard.

But after the county magistrate gave birth, he was caught by the child, and even lost his original county magistrate position.

——It's not that the court dismissed her, but she resigned herself.

Such a thing is not the only one, so A Mei, who has seen a lot, vaguely decides that she must never get married and have children before entering the county.

Even though, Amei already has a like-minded person.

Fortunately, her lover understands her and is willing to wait for her to achieve her goal before getting married.

But at this time, the imperial court issued decrees such as paid maternity leave.

After Amei read it carefully, she found that most of her concerns about not wanting to get married and have children at this time have been resolved by the government order!

This is simply too good.

A Mei couldn't wait to find her lover, and without hesitation, the two went directly to the government office to go through the formalities of marriage certificate and household registration transfer, and got married according to their previous ideas.

Her lover is alone. Although she is not married, there is not much difference between her and her husband.

After I told my parents, I was scolded without any accident.

Parents even released harsh words to sever the relationship.

Ami was a little sad, but she didn't want to go against her own wishes for the sake of her parents' wishes, so she could only fall into a cold war with her parents.

But somehow, Ami's parents suddenly agreed to their marriage.

Not only agreed, they also held a wedding specially for the young couple.

Amei just felt at a loss.

……

After finishing the banquet, Amei saw the prophecy on the meteorite.

To be honest, Ami didn't quite believe it.

It may be that after becoming an official, she must ensure that she does not fall behind others too much, and Ah Mei will also find textbooks to learn knowledge by herself when she is on duty, so she knows very well that there are no ghosts and gods in this world.

But didn't you say something?Rarely confused!

As the beneficiary of this prophecy, Amei not only failed to expose such "lie", but tried her best to prove the "prophecy" was true in daily life and in the newspapers, which convinced several people who were skeptical about the matter to believe the "prophecy".

After the prophecy was announced, Ying Zheng's tour could actually come to an end.

After all, they came out to appease the people.

However, Ying Zheng decided to go to Dongjun.

Because until this time, the so-called envoy from Kanto has not appeared in the lives of the two of them.

So Yingzheng decided to go to Huayin Pingshu.

However, it may be that the group arrived at the wrong time. They have lived in Huayin Pingshu for several days and have not seen the so-called envoy.

The envoys didn't see anyone, so the so-called prophecy naturally disappeared.

When he was about to leave for Xianyang, Ying Zheng gave Lin Qian a worried look.

For some reason, Lin Qian suddenly understood what he meant.

She smiled and said, "Maybe it's the wrong time? I just remembered the time when the messenger appeared. It seems to be autumn."

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment: "Autumn?"

Lin Qian nodded: "Although the place is right, but the time is wrong, that person seems to be..."

She was about to say that the man would not show up, but suddenly she heard the servant ask to see her.

Lin Qian shut her mouth for a moment.

Ying Zheng looked at the door: "Come in!"

The servant immediately explained the purpose of coming after entering the door: "There is a businessman who is said to have come from the Kanto outside and said that he wants to see His Majesty. He encountered a miraculous event and wanted to see His Majesty, and he brought a jade hairpin as proof."

Lin Qian was stunned: "Someone actually appeared?"

but……

She was at a loss. If Lin Qian's memory was correct, it was clearly a piece of jade in the historical records, why did it turn into a jade hairpin this time?

And he was originally a messenger, how did he become a businessman now?

Ying Zheng looked down at the waiter: "I don't remember, ordinary businessmen can also ask to see them at will?"

The servant looked up at Ying Zheng, and said hesitantly, "Because the jade hairpin in the merchant's hand seems to be something that His Majesty once lost."

Ying Zheng: "The widow's lost thing???"

The servant nodded: "I must not be mistaken. It is a jade hairpin that you often wore in the past few years. It was just lost on the way to Jiuyuan County on the first tour, so the accessories have been changed all these years."

Ying Zheng paused and ordered someone to invite the businessman in.

Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng, and met his gaze: "Yuhan?"

Yingzheng reminded: "The first time we went on tour, we went out in regular clothes many times when we went to Jiuyuan County, and once accidentally ran into a thief."

After he reminded, Lin Qian finally remembered this matter——

At that time, they had just arrived in Jiuyuan County. In order to avoid attracting more attention, they often went out together with the two brothers Wang Keng and Wang Qiang.

Because there was no defense, I met a child stealing things.

The child was as thin as skin and bones, so even if they found him, they didn't pursue him. They deliberately "lost" a hosta on the ground, broke it in half, and was picked up by the child.

This matter is very small, if it was not mentioned again, the two of them would have forgotten it long ago.

Of course, it is not surprising that the jade hairpin appeared in other people's hands, but the strange thing is... According to the servant, the jade hairpin is actually intact?

Lin Qian suddenly remembered that the original jade bi was also an "old item"——

It was something left in the river when Qin Shihuang crossed the river after enshrining Zen.

【No wonder Qin Shihuang believed that prophecy! 】

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian: "What do you mean?"

Lin Qian told him the details he had just thought of, and then frowned, "I think the jade hairpin that the businessman will get in front of us later must be intact."

Ying Zheng paused and met Lin Qian's eyes.

Soon, the servant led a man as thin as a bamboo pole into the room. After saluting, the man immediately told Ying Zheng what happened to him.

At the same time, as Lin Qian expected, he took out an intact white jade hairpin.

Lin Qian recognized it at a glance, it was indeed the jade hairpin that Ying Zheng used to use for his hair in the early years.

She turned to look at Ying Zheng, feeling a little uneasy.

Ying Zheng took the jade hairpin in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Qian: "It is indeed the hairpin that I lost before, but..."

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the businessman coldly: "Come here, take this person down!"
