Great Qin Shi Empress

== Oolong ==

The sheriff said firmly: "Since the imperial court issued the order to enroll students, I immediately asked people to post notices at the entrance of the official office and the city wall outside the city, specifically stating clearly that there are no restrictions on gender and identity under the age of 15. Anyone who wants to send their children to study can go to each county to sign up. The notice should still be hanging on the wall outside the city, if you don’t believe it, you can send someone to take it off immediately.”

Naturally, Ying Zheng would not listen to his one-sided words, and turned to look at Wang Keng when he heard the words.

Wang Keng understood, and immediately took the two of them straight out of the city.

Soon, he came back with a blackened and yellowed silk cloth, and presented it directly to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng took it, opened it and confirmed that the sheriff did not tell a single lie.

He turned his head to look at the county magistrate who spoke first, and handed over the announcement to the county magistrate who spoke first.

Obviously Yingzheng didn't say a word, but the county magistrate was already in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, Zai, my humble position definitely did not intend to frame the county guard, I..."

Ying Zheng raised his hand to interrupt the other party: "What needs to be done now is to figure out what's going on, and it's not time to tell whether you and the county guard are right or wrong. Let's see if the content on the notice is false , and then tell the widow, why do you feel that the widow does not allow you to enter the school to study."

As far as Yingzheng is concerned, these Huns are worse than the Baiyue people, but they are completely inferior to the people of Yanzhaohan and other six countries.

Since he can treat the people of the six countries equally, and even agrees that the aristocratic survivors of the six countries can be teachers and go to school, it is impossible to prevent these children of the Hun tribe who just returned to the Great Qin and need peace of mind to go to school.

Countless thoughts flashed through Ying Zheng's mind, but all of them suspected that there was a conspiracy behind it.

But I didn't want the county magistrate to blush in embarrassment when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, my humble minister...doesn't understand Qin's language."

Ying Zheng: "..."

The county magistrate saw that Yingzheng had a bad expression, worried that he might misunderstand, and quickly explained: "I have already learned it, really, but... Qin characters are really too difficult to learn."

Hearing these words, Lin Qian inexplicably felt like those modern people who lamented the difficulty of learning English and Chinese.

She was a little amused, and couldn't help asking: "None of your dozen or so tribes can understand Qin's characters?"

Ying Zheng frowned, and turned to look at the county magistrates on the grassland: "What's going on?"

The county magistrate glanced at Lin Qian, and then carefully at Ying Zheng, as if there was something unspeakable.

Ying Zheng looked at him and said, "Talk about something!"

The county magistrate didn't dare to hide any more, and hurriedly said, "I could understand it at first, but then I couldn't understand it..."

Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng, and it was no surprise that he also had some doubts in his eyes.

Others were also bewildered.

What does this mean?

He had already spoken, and the county magistrate didn't want to hide it, so he quickly answered the doubts of everyone present: "We Huns have our own language and characters, which are different from those of Qin, so ordinary people have never thought of learning other languages. People’s language and writing. But because they often deal with Zhao Guo in the past, only a small number of people deliberately learned Zhao Guo’s language and writing.”

However, the language and characters of Zhao State and Qin State are not exactly the same!

The language is easy to speak, even in different places of Zhao State, there are different dialects. In order to deal with local officials, they usually learn the local dialect and Mandarin together. You can communicate with local people and officials sent by Qin State to Jiuyuan County and other places.

But words are not used on weekdays.

not to mention……

The county magistrate was a little aggrieved: "But then Zhao State perished, and Zhao State's writing was replaced by Qin State's writing. At that time, we had no way to understand some of Qin's government orders."

Not many people in the Xiongnu learned Zhao's writing. After Qin took Zhao, Zhao's writing was directly abolished.

It's not that no one has thought about learning Qin's characters.

The big seal script is okay, although there are some differences from Zhao Guo's characters, the fonts are not much different.

However, the State of Qin has been reforming its characters over the years, and successively introduced three fonts: Xiaozhuan, Lishu, and Kaishu. Xiaozhuan was completely replaced by the simpler and easier-to-write Lishu not long after it was launched, and almost no one used it.

But the Huns didn't know it, they just thought that the three fonts were all the characters used by Qin, so they could only learn the same one.

It's fine if you can't learn it. The most fearful thing is to confuse several fonts, or to recognize one character as another.

If there are too many setbacks accumulated, no one is willing to learn.

Therefore, today's Huns really have no one who can understand the words on the notice.

Lin Qian was a little astonished, and quickly realized that this situation occurred. Of course, the reason for this situation is that the fonts have been updated too frequently in recent years. It should also be that the Xiongnu had just returned to the Qin Dynasty, and it happened to coincide with the start of the school, so there was no time to enter the school. The reason why Gong learns pinyin and simple Chinese characters.

For example, after the emergence of literacy classes and dictionaries in various parts of the Central Plains, they have also become accustomed to official script and regular script over the years, and these situations have never occurred in the Huns.

Ying Zheng asked suddenly: "You don't know how to read, don't you know how to ask?"

The county magistrate and his companions looked at each other, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Except for the market and the mutual market, our presence in other places will only cause panic, and the local people will avoid us. And we usually live in the grassland In fact, I went to other counties for business, and I would go there two or three times a month, and I didn't like to join in the fun, worrying about getting into trouble, so..."

Ying Zheng looked at the sheriff: "Is what he said true?"

The sheriff paused, and although he didn't want to admit it, he still nodded: "Everyone knows that they are different from the past, but the experience of the previous hundreds of years and the impression instilled by the elders are not so easy to forget. I can take my time."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng felt more and more that these Hun children must be admitted to school.

This division cannot be allowed to continue.

The Huns are all strong and strong, and young and middle-aged people can mix with the locals for military training like Baiyue. When they get along too much, they will develop feelings, and they can naturally ignore each other's identities as one; and let the children and the locals The best opportunity for integration is naturally the school.

He asked directly: "Is there a situation where you want to bring your children to sign up, but are rejected?"

The county magistrate hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, we didn't know the existence of the school until we came to the county seat, but at the same time we also knew that the school had finished enrolling students and classes had already started."

The county guard couldn't help but said: "Actually, I thought about sending someone to send them a notice, but the people sent by Ivy wandered around the grassland for two days, but I couldn't find them. In the end, I had to take them with me The notice returned empty-handed. Later, thinking about the registration period for so long, they also have people who will bring goods to various counties and counties every month to trade food and other items. They will definitely be able to see the content on the notice, so there is no more Take care of it."

After the "literacy class" was set up in the academy, there are now many more people in Jiuyuan County who know official script and regular script than seal script.

Who would have thought that no one among these Xiongnu knew the person on the notice in regular script?

This matter is a complete oolong!

But even if it is an oolong, this incident also revealed some problems——

For example, even though the Xiongnu has already belonged to Qin State, they still have little communication with Qin State; for example, it is inconvenient for the Xiongnu to communicate with various counties and counties, so they only trade two or three times a month; for example, if the two parties want to communicate, they can only wait for the Xiongnu to go there Counties and counties, county officials have no way to find the Xiongnu, and the decree issued by the imperial court cannot be delivered to the Xiongnu immediately...

Ying Zheng naturally thought of this, and he also immediately thought of a solution——

Build roads on the prairie. -

But in addition to road repairs, other measures should also be considered.

Lin Qian suggested: "You can open a post station on the side of the road, and the tribes will send people to guard it. Once the imperial court issues a government order, the county guard will send a copy of it and send it to the post station, and then the person who guards the post station will deliver it. In the hands of the county magistrates?"

Qin's "postal service" industry developed due to the war, and opening a post station is considered easy and familiar, and it is not troublesome.

Before Ying Zheng could speak, the county magistrate hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we are willing to send people to guard the station."

They have already suffered a loss once, and they don't want to miss more opportunities because of these reasons.

Yingzheng paused and nodded: "After the cement road is repaired, the county guard will immediately send people to open a post station on the roadside in each county. The people in the post station need to be carefully selected, and they will be given serious positions like other post stations, and rely on the imperial court to pay their salaries."

The magistrate's eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly.

but……

Li Si, who had been silent all this time, said, "If no one in the Xiongnu really knows the official script and regular script, these Hun children probably won't be able to go to school this year."

The county magistrate's face froze: "It's not long before the school starts, can't you really be flexible?"

Li Si was helpless: "It's not that you can't accommodate, it's just that even if your children are allowed to go to school to study, they can't keep up with the teacher's lecture content. These children who have already entered school have all studied pinyin and simple characters in the school for at least a year. The school textbooks are compiled according to the level of these children, and the children of the Huns have never learned pinyin and simple characters, so it may be difficult for them to understand in class."

As soon as these words came out, all the county magistrates of the Xiongnu were stunned.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang said with a smile: "This is a good thing for you. The Pinyin courses offered by the Academy are mainly for the purpose of literacy for the local people. The content of the lectures is actually not much, and it can be taught in three or four months. Yours Since the child has never learned pinyin and characters, even if he signed up before, he still has no way to study. He still has to go to the school to study. Now that he regrets it, it is better to send him to the school as soon as possible, and he can sign up when the school starts next year, which is not a delay for the child. "

When the Xiongnu county magistrates heard this, their eyes lit up immediately.

==·Furious·==

Yingzheng and his party stayed in Jiuyuan County for less than a month, watched with their own eyes the Huns sending their children to study in the academy, and officially started road construction before preparing to leave with satisfaction.

Before leaving, Ying Zheng went to school to see Mao Dun and Han Xin.

Needless to say, Han Xin was born with a smart mind, he learned things surprisingly quickly, and he was basically not partial to subjects; Mo Dun was not much different from Han Xin, and he was even more talented in politics, but he was a bit behind in Chinese.

Ying Zheng has seen the results of the two, and personally seen the way the two get along with their classmates, so he knows it well.

Soon, Yingzheng and his party left Jiuyuan County.

That day happened to be a rest time——

Lin Qian originally wanted to implement a two-day break system, but was unexpectedly opposed by all the ministers and the people. In the end, he could only win the "privilege" of two days off a month for these poor students.

Mao Dun and Han Xin stood on the city wall, watching Ying Zheng and his party leave.

Han Xin only felt happy, but Mao Dun stared at King Qin's back in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

After the person walked away, Han Xin dragged him and ran towards the stairs: "Okay, okay, Your Majesty has already left, so let's not disturb the uncles on the city wall to defend the city."

They soon went to the central region again.

The land here is fertile, and there are quite vast plains. The people live happily and in peace, and the local officials are also loyal to their duties——

Although there were some small problems of one kind or another, they were all adjusted immediately after Ying Zheng pointed them out.

The group stayed in several counties in the central part for almost a month, and then continued southward. They passed through Shangjun, Taiyuan, Julu, Handan, and Dongjun from Jiuyuan County, and then came to Dang County. Chen Jun, arrived in Sishui County.

Ying Zheng and others also met with officials in these places and visited the local schools in person.

At the beginning, everyone only thought that the people in these places lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the schools were well-run, making it impossible to fault them.

But as more and more counties were visited, Lin Qian always felt that something was wrong.

This feeling is like scratching one's boots, making people unable to tell what is wrong, but it makes people feel stuck in the throat, and they can't always raise their energy.

It wasn't until they visited Sishui County School and saw all the boys in the classroom that Lin Qian finally found the reason: "Your Majesty, why are there all male students in this classroom?"

Ying Zheng took a closer look, and sure enough, he didn't see a girl in the classroom.

Lin Qian frowned, and couldn't remember clearly: "Is this the same situation in the classrooms in the counties we passed by before?"

Ying Zheng turned to look at the other officials.

Li Si and Feng Quji looked at each other and shook their heads.

The other officials couldn't remember the previous situation clearly, so they could only lower their heads to avoid Ying Zheng's sight, lest they be chosen by him to answer the question.

Even Zhang Liang could only vaguely remember some situations.

But if you are not sure, you must not bring it up, because once the follow-up investigation finds that the situation is not the case, he will be held accountable for such a "nonsense" person.

However, he turned to look at his subordinate officer: "I remember, do you have a good memory?"

The man nodded: "Remember the humble job."

Zhang Liang directly recommended the other party to Ying Zheng: "This is an official under the Weichen, named Xiao He, who was transferred by Feng Chang to help several young masters with their marriages. He was transferred to my side by Weichen."

Well-informed and knowledgeable?

Ying Zheng cast his eyes on Xiao He: "Do you remember the situation in the previous few counties?"

Xiao He stood up immediately: "Return to Your Majesty, remember. After His Majesty took us away from Jiuyuan County, we passed through seven counties including Shang County and Taiyuan County. Sishui County is the eighth county."

"When I was in Shangjun, I went to three surrounding counties besides the county town. I saw two classes in the county town. There were 34 students and 33 students. The former had [-] boys and [-] girls. The other is [-] boys and [-] girls, the ratio is basically the same."

"Your Majesty attended a class in two counties. The former has 28 students, 25 males and [-] females; the latter has a total of [-] students, [-] males and [-] females..."

“在太原郡时除去郡城外一共去了三个县城。郡城去看过三个班，人数分别是42、41和39。男女比例则为21比21，二十比21，二十比十九……”

……

Lin Qian listened beside her, her eyes opened wider and wider, and the shock in her heart was beyond words.

Who are these people? After such a long time, he not only remembered how many counties and counties they passed through, which counties and counties they were, but also how many schools they had been to, how many classes they had visited, and how many counties they had visited. The number of students and the number of men and women are clearly remembered.

[With this amazing memory, why can't you stand out?No wonder they are called the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty. 】

【Is Xiao He really not a camera memory? 】

[God against the sky, okay! 】

Ying Zheng turned his head and glanced at Lin Qian: The Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty?So is this Xiao He in front of him?

He remembered that Lin Qian mentioned that the other two three heroes in the early Han Dynasty were Zhang Liang and Han Xin. Needless to say, Han Xin is still a child now, and Han Xin is taking the military path. Although he needs to focus on training, he is not the current Qin State. There is a shortage of talents.

Zhang Liang is good at strategy, and he has worked hard over the years to fill the talent gap in Qin.

So, what kind of talent is this Xiao He?

Lin Qian didn't notice Ying Zheng's eyes, she was still carefully distinguishing the series of data reported by Xiao He, but the more she listened, the less excitement on her face, instead her eyes gradually filled with anger.

"Dang County went to two counties except the county seat, and each school visited three classes. The number of students in the county schools was 32, 29, and 27, and the male to female ratio was 25 to 22, 25 to [-], and [-] The ratio is two; the number of students in the county schools is..."

"We just came to Surabaya County, and we have never been to the county seat. So far, we have only visited one class in the county school. The number of students is [-], and the ratio of male to female is [-]:[-]."

Anyone who has a certain sensitivity to numbers can find problems from this series of data——

From Jiuyuan County to Sishui County, the number of students in each class has not changed much, but the ratio of male to female has dropped significantly.

Because this ratio slowly decreased as they walked along the way, Lin Qian felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Until now, this class where only boys study Like a sharp knife, it cut through the fog in front of her eyes.

After realizing where the problem was, everyone was stunned.

Ying Zheng suppressed his vigorous anger, and asked in a cold voice, "Do you still remember the number of students and the ratio of male to female in Jiuyuan County?"

Xiao He immediately responded: "In addition to the county town of Jiuyuan County, His Majesty has visited five counties. The school in the county town has been to four classes. The number of students is 41, 43, 42, 41, and the ratio of male to female is 21. 22; 21 to 22; twenty to 22, nineteen to [-]."

He also wanted to talk about the school situation in the county seat, but Ying Zheng directly stopped him.

The situation is already clear.

Ying Zheng's eyes turned around all the ministers: "Are there any people from Chu?"

Liston paused, and stepped forward: "Return to Your Majesty, I was originally from the upper class of Chu."

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao He, who was in the limelight before, also stood up: "Return to Your Majesty, this minister is from Sishui County in Chu, and he just left Sishui County for Xianyang a few years ago."

Ying Zheng passed Li Si and looked at Xiao He: "Are you from Sishui County?"

Xiao He cupped his hands: "People from Pei County, Sishui County."

This is really...

The non-Chu officials looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that this turning point caught people off guard.

Even Li Si, who was also born in Chu, couldn't help looking at Xiao He. He thought that being born in Chu was already unlucky enough, but he didn't expect that there would be someone more unlucky than himself.

A native of Surabaya County?

Isn't this hitting the muzzle directly?

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was really angry: "You are actually a native of Sishui County?"

Xiao He smiled wryly: "Return to Your Majesty, yes."

Seeing that Ying Zheng was even more angry than himself, Lin Qian was worried that he would be angry, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to judge this matter immediately. Maybe this matter has nothing to do with local officials?"

Ying Zheng is not someone who likes to vent his anger. Hearing this, he turned around and took people directly to the Sheriff's Office.

Zhang Liang retreated to the side and waited for Ying Zheng and others to take a step ahead. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Ying Zheng's darkened complexion, and he rejoiced more than once in his heart that he was appreciated by Wang Wan early and transferred to work in Xianyang, otherwise he would be terrified now. I fear I will become myself.

Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help but sympathize with the unlucky guy who took over the post of Sishui County after him.

==··==

Inside the county sheriff's office, it was really gloomy.

The magistrate of Sishui County, who has always been calm and composed, was full of panic, as if the sky was about to fall: "Lu Zhi, tell me, will your majesty find that the proportion of students in the school is not right?"

Lu Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth: "Who knows?"

Seeing that the sheriff became more and more flustered because of her own words, she paused, and couldn't help but add: "But most of them can't see it? The situation in counties and counties will be better than ours in Sishui County, since Dang County and other places have never been discovered... this time, we should be able to avoid it."

But neither Lu Zhi himself nor the sheriff himself was convinced by these words.

The county guard's face was even more ugly: "I ordered someone to inquire about it. There is no class in Dang County and other places that is all men."

Lu Zhi paused, unable to think of any other words of comfort.

The two looked at each other, sighed at the same time, and then chose to accept their fate.

……

Soon, Ying Zheng and others arrived.

When the sheriff, Lu Zhi and others saw Ying Zheng, they knelt down for him with a plop.

Kneeling ceremony was not popular at this time. Before the tables, chairs and benches were made, the ministers would kneel and sit like the king when they went to court. After the tables, chairs and benches were made, the ministers also sat like Ying Zheng. on the chair.

If there is any difference between the two, it is only that Ying Zheng's chair is more gorgeous, and its position is higher than that of the minister.

Now Lu Zhi and others kneel when they see Ying Zheng, which can basically be equated with "guilty" in Ying Zheng's eyes.

The anger that had been suppressed suddenly burst out.

Ying Zheng looked at the officials on the ground coldly, and waited for someone to move out a chair from the sheriff's office, then he suppressed his anger and walked over to sit down: "You should know why the widow came here?"

The sheriff swallowed, and smiled wryly: "Return to Your Majesty, I can guess."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "Tell me."

The sheriff took a deep breath and said, "For the sake of the school, there are too few girls."

Ying Zheng was furious: "Since you know that the widow will be angry because of this, why did you allow this to happen? The widow sent you to be the sheriff, and this is how you repay the widow?"

The sheriff bowed his head, not daring to defend himself.

Because he knew very well that as a sheriff, he failed to do his job well, and he was indeed suspected of dereliction of duty.

Seeing that the sheriff acquiesced, Lu Zhi's eyes widened in shock: "The sheriff!"

The sheriff was startled, and quickly shook his head at her.

Lu Zhi was not reconciled, so he stood up by himself: "Return to Your Majesty, this matter is the spontaneous action of Qianshou, and has nothing to do with the county guard."

Ying Zheng frowned and looked at Lu Zhi: "Who are you?"

Lu Zhi hurriedly said, "My minister Lu Zhi, the Prime Minister of Sishui County, is also responsible for this enrollment."

[Lu Pheasant? ! ! ! 】

[She turned out to be the magistrate of Sishui County? 】

Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at Lin Qian suspiciously.

Lin Qian reacted, and said in a low voice from the bottom of her heart: [This is the founding queen of the Han Dynasty, and she is also the first person in the history of China to rule the dynasty. Her own ruling philosophy is very suitable for the situation of the Han Dynasty at that time. On the whole, it can be regarded as extending the life of the Han Dynasty. Although he was never officially declared emperor, he was recorded in the Emperor's Chronicle by Tai Shigong. 】

[However, I was not only shocked by seeing Lu Zhi, but also because I saw two historical celebrities one after another. 】

[And this is in Peixian County, maybe we can see Liu Bang again. 】

Yingzheng is not in a good mood, so these people who are said to have shined after the fall of the Qin Dynasty are mostly from Chu, or even from Sishui County?

Should he be stricter with Chu Di?

Lu Zhi didn't know what Ying Zheng was thinking. Seeing that he asked her identity, she didn't open her mouth. She couldn't help but say a few more words: "There are too few female students in the school because there are few who are willing to send their daughters to study. , the county guard personally sent people to find those who have daughters and send them to school, but very few people are willing to spend money to send their daughters to school."

Ying Zheng didn't understand: "The order given by the widow has not been cancelled. Shouldn't they be fully nurturing their daughter now?"

Lu Zhi was a little embarrassed, looked at the sheriff and sighed: "Because they think that if they don't send their daughters to study, there will be no daughters as officials. It is impossible for the imperial court to hand over all the positions in Sishui County to outsiders, so ..."

"It's not that no one has sent their daughter to study, it's just that there are too few of them."

Lin Qian asked: "But we were in school before, and we didn't see a single female student."

Lu Zhi glanced at her carefully: "Because the families of those female students do not want their girls to be in the same class as male students, one is worried about being bullied, and the other is because men and women do not get along well. After all, the girls who were sent to school Among them, many of them are girls in their teens, and they will start discussing marriage soon."

Lin Qian frowned, this is too...

She looked at Lu Zhi: "Why hasn't this happened in other places? Dang County and Sishui County are next to each other. When we used to go there, we also had mixed classes."

Xiao He, who has been taciturn since he stepped into the Sheriff's Office, couldn't help but say: "Although Dang County has mixed classes for men and women, some special treatment has been done for the age of the students, directly avoiding the situation where men and women are not close."

Seeing Ying Zheng looking over, Xiao He instantly realized his recklessness.

But, you can't just watch your hometown become the worst in His Majesty's eyes, can you?

Xiao He sighed: "Your Majesty and Marquis Gu Feng may not have noticed that the mixed classes in Dang County are not the same thing as the mixed classes in other places. Their method is to mix girls and boys, or boys and girls in the same class. The dividing line is seven years old when there are 'separate seats for men and women', but because there are too few female students, when making arrangements, the age difference between male and female students is generally more than five years old."

He knew that it was not kind of him to share the firepower with Ladang County, so he quickly apologized to the sheriff of Dang County in his heart.

Lin Qian was dumbfounded.

The expressions of the others were not much better.

On the contrary, the Sheriff of Sishui County had a thoughtful expression on his face after hearing this.

Lu Zhi was stunned, and when he looked up, he found that His Majesty's expression had eased.

Is this a good idea?

Ying Zheng glanced at Xiao He: "You remember these details clearly."

A drop of cold sweat dripped from the corner of Xiao He's forehead, and after sorting out his words, he opened his mouth slowly: "Because I like to observe people since I was a child, people's work, people's interactions, and the details of people's lives... and school is a new thing. , Wei Chen was even more curious, so he paid extra attention."

Ying Zheng was noncommittal, and turned to look at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood what he meant, and took the initiative to introduce: [Xiao He is not a general, and his strategy is not outstanding. The very wealthy Hanzhong developed into Liu Bang's granary. 】

[Then there is the allusion of "Success is also Xiao He's failure is also Xiao He". Han Xin was not only recommended by Xiao He to be reused by Liu Bang, but also killed by Xiao He's scheme. 】

[Then, by virtue of his own strength, Xiao He rescued a large number of books, Qin's household registration, laws and other foundations of the country from Xianyang Palace before Xiang Yu burned Xianyang. 】

Ying Zheng looked at Xiao He, and it sounded like he was someone who was good at governing one side.

This is also the type of talent that Qin State lacks.

Xiao He didn't understand Ying Zheng's change of mind, and when Ying Zheng watched him, his heart beat wildly, and he panicked a little.

Fortunately, Ying Zheng quickly averted his eyes and set his sights on the Sheriff of Sishui County: "Is what the Prime Minister said true?"

The sheriff glanced at Lu Zhi and sighed: "Return to Your Majesty, it is true."

Ying Zheng's face was extremely indifferent.

But this matter really had little to do with the sheriff, so he just fined the sheriff and Lu Zhi three months' salary, and then left directly with others.

After going out, Ying Zheng kept holding his breath.

After Lin Qian hesitated, he reached out and took Ying Zheng's hand: "Why don't we go to rest first, and change into casual clothes later and come out to stroll around?"

Ying Zheng glanced at Lin Qian and understood that his current state was not suitable for doing things, so he nodded.

Li Si and the others looked at each other, and then quietly let out a long breath.

The group returned to their residence, and after changing their clothes, Ying Zheng took Lin Qian and Wang Keng and Wang Qiang to leave together, and then went to a nearby market.

After wandering around the market, Ying Zheng's mood still hasn't improved.

Lin Qian glanced at him and sighed, "Why don't you go to the school to have a look?"

Ying Zheng paused and nodded.

Several people came to the school soon.

The guard at the gate recognized Ying Zheng at a glance, and subconsciously wanted to salute, but was interrupted directly by him: "The widow is just wandering around, don't disturb others."

The guard responded again and again, and stepped back to the side.

Only then did Ying Zheng lead the people into the school, and then followed his previous memory to the classroom he had seen before.

The students inside are in class, which is no different from the classes in other places——

Although the teacher spoke seriously, not every student listened to it. The theological bully stared at the teacher's writing on the blackboard, while the scumbags and children who were too young hid behind the textbooks and played on their own. .

Ying Zheng took a glance, then took Lin Qian directly to the next door.

The group stopped and went like this, and soon came to the all-female class that Lu Zhi had mentioned.

This class has the largest number of people, it seems to be more than forty, but compared to the total number of students in other classes, it is still pitifully small.

However, Lin Qian found that among the many classes he had seen, the students in this class listened the most carefully.

Ying Zheng looked at it, and his mood suddenly improved.

Before, he was only unhappy that the local people had obeyed his orders, but he was unable to use any law to punish these people, but now, Ying Zheng suddenly had an idea.

After leaving the school, the group went straight back to their residence.

While resting at night, Ying Zheng suddenly asked, "Is there anything that can spread the widow's orders all over the world?"

Lin Qian was taken aback: "Huh?"

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian: "No?"

Lin Qian returned to his senses, shook his head and said, "Of course there are such things, and there are quite a few of them."

[The most useful thing is naturally the Internet, and then movies, TV, telephones and mobile phones, etc., but there is no way to create these things with the current level of technology. 】

Just when Yingzheng was a little disappointed, Lin Qian said, "The one that meets your requirements is the newspaper. Similar to the Dibao, they write some content on it and send it to all parts of the country. It's just that the Dibao only records Imperial government decrees, and only officials can obtain them, but newspapers can publish a variety of content, and can be sold directly, generally taking the route of small profits but quick turnover.”

"Where newspapers can reach, the news you want to be heard can go."

At the beginning, there was no mansion newspaper in Qin State, but after the invention of paper, mansion newspaper was invented naturally.

It's just that today's mansion newspaper is still relatively rough, and basically only records some government orders issued by Yingzheng, and more things are not mentioned too much——

Lin Qian suspects that this is a habit left over from the use of bamboo slips and wooden tablets hundreds of years ago.

But it’s just the basic decree, and it’s much better than in the past.

However, those residence reports can only be sent to the county guards in various places, and then the county guards will pass them on to the low-level officials. Unless it is an important matter involving the majority of people, the officials will not deliberately post notices to tell the people.

Ying Zheng didn't quite understand: "What do you mean, put the mansion newspaper into print and then sell it in large quantities?"

Or, a best-selling magazine?

Lin Qian smiled: "It's just that Zhang Tingwei's pamphlet is only written by him, so he usually only publishes one volume every six months to one year, but newspapers are divided into daily, weekly, and monthly. The number of publications depends on demand. and frequency."

Mentioning Zhang Liang's pamphlet, Ying Zheng instantly understood what Lin Qian meant.

He had always felt that Zhang Liang's pamphlet was very useful, so he specially mentioned some Mohists so that Zhang Liang would give him a hand every time he wanted to issue a new pamphlet.If this newspaper can not only achieve the same effect as Zhang Liang's pamphlet, but also increase the frequency of distribution, it will indeed meet his requirements.

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian: "Can you elaborate on the contents of the newspaper?"

Lin Qian got stuck for a while: "Well, I haven't had much contact with
