I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

"From now on, the concubine should follow the empress dowager and empress, be a virtuous woman, do her own thing well, and definitely not cause trouble for the king."

The queen mother was very satisfied, and rewarded her daughter-in-law with many things.

Li Qiu also met with the concubines, and shared with them the things he brought from Qi.

Li Qiu finally felt at ease, she thought that the Queen Mother would be very serious and the concubines would be difficult to get along with, because he was used to the struggles in the palace, so what he felt here was the warmth of home.

His husband, Yingzheng, deserves to be the king of Qin and the one who wants to rule the world.

At the Dachao Conference, the topic of discussion today was that as Qin State unified the Central Plains, countries merged into Daqin's territory, but encountered various acute problems. If these problems were not resolved, it would be quite severe for Daqin's development.

Li Si, as Fengchang and Prime Minister, stood up and raised three questions.

"The six countries have different currencies, different weights and measures, and different purchasing power, which greatly affects the exchange of goods and brings difficulties to various departments and people's livelihood."

"The roads of different countries are different. Although road construction has been started before, and the roads were built according to Daqin's road specifications, Chu, Yan, and Qi must follow up immediately."

"The third point is the most important. Previously, the countries were independent, and the shape of the characters was extremely disordered, which caused serious obstacles to the implementation of government orders and cultural exchanges."

"Especially the decree, which was issued from Daqin to the localities, and after being communicated many times, the taste has changed. Some people even borrowed the decree to turn a deer into a horse."

Ying Zheng attached great importance to these three issues raised by Li Si, and these were also the three major issues he had always wanted to solve.

A country can only have one language, one weight and measure, one currency, and one cultural habit.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to form a united country. As time goes by, this huge country will still fall apart.

However, these problems must be solved one by one.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the text, which is the most important thing, because it carries too many things.

Writing is the foundation of cultural inheritance. To consolidate the rule of Great Qin, writing must be unified.

Yingzheng pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind. Now that he has the aid of paper, he can complete the important decision of "book with text".

"All ministers discuss, what kind of text should be used as the unified text?"

Wang Wan stood up slowly and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, now in the territory of Daqin, people are used to the seal script of Qin State, and all schools of thought are also learning the characters of Daqin, so I think that promoting the seal script is the best choice." .”

Yao Jia stood up slowly, glanced at Wang Wan, but objected: "Your Majesty, I disagree. The main function of writing is to inherit culture, convey government orders, and play the role of uploading and issuing. But the seal is too cumbersome. It may be difficult to promote it in the six countries."

"I think that only the simplest things can be accepted by the subjects of the six countries more easily."

Wang Wan glanced at Yao Jia: "Which country does the Taiwei think has simpler characters... Could it be that the Taiwei can also create new characters?"

Li Si's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wang is right, we can simplify the text and promote it as a new text."

"This is what I think. Now no matter which country's script you choose, people and scholars in other places are not willing to accept it. If Daqin combined the scripts of the seven countries and created a new script, wouldn't it be Promotion more effective?"

Yingzheng's eyes lit up, he is indeed a witty little ghost, this method is good!

But there are still some ministers who do not buy it. For example, the native ministers of Qin think that the characters of Qin are better, while the foreign ministers think that the characters they learned first are better.

But these people dare not speak up in front of King Qin Yingzheng.

Feng Jie, the official censor, also said with a smile: "This is not a way, but it is still quite difficult to recreate a new character."

Taishi ordered Hu Wujing to hear Li Si's proposal, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to take over this job."

King Qin Yingzheng coughed. He knew how difficult it was to create a new character, and whether the created character was worth promoting would not be known until the character came out.

So he said: "Since Taishi Ling has such ambitions, this matter will be entrusted to your Taishi Mansion to preside over it, and at the same time Li Fengchang will assist you, and the CRRC Mansion Order will assist you."

"After the new characters are created, all the ministers will decide together."

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

All the ministers bowed and shouted in unison.

Chapter 505 South Street after Reconstruction, Xue Nu Sells Pianos

Then Ying Zheng said: "Yie Teng, the governor of Su Nei, Yao Jia of Taiwei's Mansion listens to the order."

"From now on, the two lovers will jointly discuss and start the construction work that will spread across the country. By the beginning of next spring, this big project must be put on the agenda."

"Prime Minister Wang, the issue of unifying the weights and measures of the six countries will be handed over to the Prime Minister's Office, and the Prime Minister's Office will come up with a decision. After being reviewed by the widow, it will be implemented in the six countries."

"I will obey your orders."

……

A series of measures to change the history of China began here. All the ministers, with the order of King Qin Yingzheng, returned to the office and started a heated discussion.

And Zhao Mu's mansion outside Xianyang Palace.

Zhao Mu got a sky-falling event, Zhao Wang Jia rebelled against the people he arranged around Zhao Jia, killed several of his confidants, and the army was controlled by Zhao Jia.

You said fuck it, you controlled and captured the Donghu people, and they have grown to an army of [-], but you are living in the grassland!

Damn, he actually listened to that reckless Yandan and came to attack Daqin. Can you fight Daqin now with 8 people?

I simply don't know whether to live or die, I don't know whether to live or die!

It's good now, 8 people, all of them died, and you, Zhao Jia, died as soon as you died, and died with you with the last bit of Zhao Guo's strength.

Zhao Mu overturned the table and smashed all the decorations in the living room. The maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling, and their heads were smashed.

Zhao Qi stood aside, pulled her father, and persuaded: "Father, don't smash it anymore, if you smash it, you won't have money to buy it."

Zhao Mu: "..."

Zhao Mu grabbed a coral ornament and was about to smash it down to vent his anger. He spent a hundred gold to buy this coral ornament. When he heard his son say that he had no money to buy luxury items, he slowly put it back .

Afterwards, Zhao Mu sat down on the ground and scolded: "Get out, get out, old man."

The maids quickly left the living room, for fear of being crushed to death by the master.

In the room, only Zhao Mu, Zhao Qi and his son were left.

After a long time, Zhao Mu asked, "How much money do we have left?"

Zhao Qi said: "Father, in the past two years, the little family property you have accumulated has been used to raise soldiers, and now you don't have much money."

Zhao Qi also complained to her father, that the family could live comfortably, but now they are better, they raised soldiers for a thousand days, but when they used the soldiers, there were no more soldiers, so they made a wedding dress for Zhao Jia.

"The old man asked how much money do you have left?"

Zhao Qi gritted her teeth and said, "If you add up all the real estate and the caravan, it's only about [-] gold."

"How did you do it? The old man gave you one hundred thousand gold back then."

"Father, those dead soldiers you raise are not dead people. They all need to eat. Also, they need to send money to the army in the desert. There is a bottomless pit in the desert. You can get tens of thousands of gold out of your mouth." deliver……"

"shut up!"

The father and son quarreled over money.

Zhao Xueer stood outside the door, listening to her father and grandfather arguing, she was very puzzled, did the family run out of money?

But he still bought a lot of good things every day, so he was going to sell his Guqin.

His guqin is very valuable, it should sell for a hundred gold.

So Zhao Xueer carried her Guqin and some valuables, and ran out of the Zhao Mansion to sell the Guqin and some valuable jewelry at a pawn shop.

It's just that she went to several pawnshops, and those bosses even said that her guqin was worthless, and only took some gold and silver jewelry and jade pendants.

The unscrupulous boss only gave her ten gold for that box of jewelry.

But when his father sold it to her, it was obviously very expensive.

The accompanying maid said that South Street is the most prosperous, and there may be people who know what to buy, and this guqin will definitely sell for a good price.

So the two went to the most prosperous South Street in Xianyang City.

Xianyang Chengnan Street has now been rebuilt, and the buildings are more magnificent than before.

At the entrance of Daqin Restaurant, wealthy businessmen, high-ranking officials and rich people came in an endless stream. Luxurious carriages drove into the parking lot in the backyard one after another. All the boxes were full, and even the lobby was full of people waiting people who eat.

Not far away, about [-] steps away, is Mingyue Tower, the biggest brothel in Daqin. No one knows who opened this Mingyue Tower until now, even Zhang He doesn't know who is behind Mingyue Tower.

The girls of Mingyue Tower, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood upstairs, beckoning.

They have also formed a business relationship with Daqin Restaurant. When the guests over there want to eat, the food from Daqin Restaurant can be delivered to the brothel, which is equivalent to ordering takeaway. They have dedicated food delivery staff.

A thousand meters away is the perfume workshop opened by Zhang He.

The perfume shop occupies a larger area, the floor is directly a three-story wooden attic, and the courtyard is decorated like a royal palace. Even though there was an assassination last time, the ladies of Xianyang City are not afraid of it. Die, still come here every now and then to have afternoon tea and talk about gossip.

And there is also a kind of entertainment provided here, that is, listening to books, the old man sits there, and the golden wood hall takes a picture, and then he starts to tell the latest gossip and legends in Xianyang City, or strange people and strange things.

But the most popular among the ladies is the "Dream of Red Mansions" narrated by the old man. Listening to one episode every day is like chasing a drama. If you don't listen to it for a day, you will feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, the business of the perfume shop is booming.

By the way, Baqing's underwear shop next door is also extremely popular. After reading books, having afternoon tea, and gossiping for a while, the ladies start to choose their favorite perfumes, or go next door to try on the latest styles of underwear.

This afternoon, Jing Ke and Gao Jianli were bored, and then came to this South Street from Zhuangzi outside the city. They were going to eat at Daqin Restaurant, and then go to the brothel for entertainment. The two good buddies don't know what to do now.

Because of Fei Yan's betrayal, the two of them seemed not to be taken seriously by Zhang He, and they were not allowed to go on this mission.

It was obvious that they did not trust them, but it was understandable, after all, Fei Yan's betrayal almost caused Yan Lingji to die.

"Hey, this guqin is pretty good."

Gao Jianli saw a girl selling Guqin on the side of the road, and there was only one Guqin. Judging by the appearance of that girl, she should be a lady of a great family. In the eyes of those who understand music, musical instruments are life.

This girl may have encountered a difficult situation, otherwise she would never be able to sell the things she likes.

Jing Ke also glanced at the girl, and said with a smile, "Go and see the excitement."

At this moment, Nongyu from the Perfume Shop also saw people surrounding a girl. She thought that the girl was being bullied, so she threw herself into her waist angrily, and was about to go over to settle it.

Chapter 506 The Perfume Shop Lacks a Luthier

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, what do you want to do?"

"Bullying a little girl... Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"

The people who come here for entertainment basically know Miss Nongyu. Although this little girl is a maid of Lord Hou's family, she is in charge of the entire perfume shop business of Master Hou's family.

Immediately, Nongyu made way for Nongyu, and Nongyu walked in angrily.

Suddenly he was stunned, there was a guqin on the ground, squatting next to a little girl and a maidservant, Jing Ke stood aside, Gao Jianli was talking with the little girl.

No one bullied the little girl?

Forehead!

"Jing Ke, Gao Jianli, what are you doing?"

Jing Ke had seen Nongyu girl approaching aggressively a long time ago, and said with a smile: "There is a little girl selling pianos. Brother Gao has taken a fancy to this guqin and is going to buy it, but the price is a bit expensive. Brother Gao I'm ashamed..."

Gao Jianli also looked helpless, the little girl said, this guqin was bought for a thousand gold, this guqin is a famous qin in the Zhou Dynasty, named "Hao Zhongqin", it was a guqin once owned by Boya.

And the little girl also said that this guqin will be sold to those who understand it.

After Gao Jianli saw the "Carillon No. [-]", he couldn't move anymore. He went bankrupt and wanted to buy it, not for anything else, just because it was once owned by Boya.

For the family, this is equivalent to what the ancestor left behind.

So, the little girl wanted Gao Jianli to show her hand, to test Gao Jianli's authenticity, but Gao Jianli was actually good at building (building is an ancient musical instrument that has been lost.).

But this did not affect Gao Jianli's ability to play the piano.

So Gao Jianli sat in front of the guqin, ready to play a piece.

Nongyu's eyes sparkled when she saw "Carillon No. [-]", but Gao Jianli had already started discussing it with the little girl, so she could only wait, because she knew that "Carillon No. [-]" was worth a thousand dollars, and Gao Jianli, a poor man, was buying it. Great.

But she is a little rich woman, only a thousand gold, at worst, show more courtesies to Lord Hou and act like a baby to her sister, and the thousand gold will come.

A famous song "High Mountain and Flowing Water" once composed by Boya shocked everyone, and more and more people gathered around, and many people were immersed in the sound of the piano and couldn't extricate themselves.

"color!"

"Big lottery, big lottery!"

……

After the song was played, the crowd cheered endlessly.

Even Nongyu and Zhao Xueer applauded for this, Gao Jianli's piano skills are really amazing.

Zhao Xue'er bowed to Gao Jianli: "Mr.'s piano skill is like that of our predecessor Boya. It's really remarkable. I admire you."
