The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men
Chapter 10: Establishing a Government and Attending Court
The next day, the First Emperor did not attend court for the first time, which caused many ministers to inquire about the news. When they learned that it was because of Qin Xingfu, some people wondered if it was another Bao Si, and they were very worried for a while.
Fusu returned to his palace and fell into a deep sleep. Qin Xingfu was arranged to the Queen Mother's Ganquan Palace. She was carried there. After a whole night of high-intensity mental and physical exertion, she fainted from exhaustion.
Officials from Li Si's faction came to him privately, believing that Qin Xingfu was a witch who was bringing disaster to the country, and hoped that he could come forward to drive her away. People from the royal family also felt that the First Emperor's actions were inappropriate, so they asked to see His Majesty.
The First Emperor had not had much rest for three consecutive days as he was sorting out the information from that night, while Qin Xingfu slept for a whole day and night. When she woke up, she was dazed and let the palace maids help her wash and change clothes.
Seeing Numu stuffing food into her mouth, she remembered that she had clearly gone home and gone shopping, eating and watching movies with Yanyan and her senior sisters. How come she woke up and was still here?
Qin Xingfu had lost her appetite and only ate three bowls of rice. She felt very depressed. After finishing her meal, she walked out of the house and stared at the sky in a daze.
When Fusu and his wife arrived, they saw her sitting under the eaves staring at the sky.
"Xingfu, I brought my wife Yan to see you."
When Fusu returned home, he and his wife had become a normal couple. He felt that there were many beautiful things in this world. He hoped that he could have a child soon, as that was his hope for the future.
Qin Xingfu withdrew her gaze and looked at Fusu and the people around him. Suddenly, she stood up excitedly, walked past Fusu, and hugged his wife tightly.
"Yan Yan, is that you? Why are you here too? How long have you been here? Woohoo... I thought I would never see you again. I miss you and the teacher. It's not good here at all. I want to go home."
Fusu and Lady Yan didn't understand what she was saying, but seeing how sad she was, they just let her vent.
"Yan Yan, why don't you speak? Aren't you the one who talks the most?"
Qin Xingfu felt something was wrong and let go of the person in his arms.
Madam Yan bowed to her.
"Hello, Lord Nei Shi. I am the young master's wife. My name is Yan."
Qin Xingfu was only focused on the face just now and didn't notice anything else. Now she looked at her carefully. This person looks 160% like Hao Yan, but she is petite, less than 175cm tall. Yanyan is cm tall like her.
Qin Xingfu was very disappointed, the light in her eyes was extinguished. Yes, how could such a coincidence happen? It's okay that she couldn't go back, but why did she want her friends to come here too? With Yanyan's temper, she would probably make trouble every day when she came here. Besides, she was so slow to learn things. It would take her a long time just to learn how to talk here.
"I'm sorry, you look a lot like a good friend of mine. I made a mistake."
Qin Xingfu bowed and apologized.
Fusu sighed when he saw her like that. On the one hand, he hoped that Qin Xingfu would stay here and work for the Qin Dynasty, but on the other hand, he wanted her to go home as she wished. He was very conflicted.
"Xing Xing, you can treat her as your friend, so you will have friends here too."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir!"
Qin Xingfu knew what he meant, but she couldn't understand Wanwan Leiqing's drama. Yanyan was Yanyan and Yan was Yan. They were two different people, completely different people.
"Master Neishi, this is the food I made, I hope you like it."
The news that the first woman in the Qin Dynasty stepped into the court from the countryside with her own strength had spread throughout Xianyang yesterday. Every household was very curious and admired her.
Qin Xingfu took it and thanked him.
"Sir, it's not appropriate for me to live here. Where should I live in the future?"
"You have an official position, and someone will take you to the mansion in a while. Father said you can come once every ten days, so you have more time to do other things."
"Okay, thank you! I'll be leaving now. I wish you and your wife a long and happy life together!"
The two of them had a big quarrel, and Madam Yan was very grateful to her. When she heard that there was a woman next to the young master, she felt a sense of crisis, but Fusu came back and took the initiative to tell her about their relationship, saying that he just admired her talent and there was no love between men and women in his words. She felt that her thoughts were too dirty. How could such a strange man regard his husband as his heaven like her?
When I saw her today, I saw that there was nothing strange in her eyes. Maybe it was just her nature! Her thoughts and ideas were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Qin Xingfu said goodbye to the two and came to his own mansion under the guidance of the palace servants. From a distance, he saw a group of people kneeling on the ground, both men and women, about thirty people. The girls were about eleven or twelve years old, thin, with yellow hair, really like yellow-haired girls; the men were about twenty years old on average, ten of them looked like soldiers, and five of them looked like servants, doing odd jobs.
"Sir, this is your mansion, and these are the servants that His Majesty has given you."
A young eunuch introduced her.
"Thank you! All of you, please stand up and hold your heads high. Who among you has the best memory for directions? It's okay, you can speak up. You will be my people from now on, so don't kneel down at every turn. Hold your heads high and hold your chest out. If you have something to say, speak up. I have clear rewards and punishments. Those who speak up actively will be rewarded."
Qin Xingfu received so many rewards that he could no longer fit them in. He still had several gold cakes in his arms. After he finished speaking, he gave two to the eunuch who was leading the way.
The servants looked at each other, and finally someone in the corner spoke up.
"Sir, I am the best at remembering the way. I know all the places in Xianyang, big and small. I can always return by the same route wherever I go. I was responsible for going out to buy these things before."
Qin Xingfu's eyes lit up. It was an artificial GPS! Following the sound, he saw a thin, ragged little boy, waving at him to come forward.
"That's fine. What's your name? How old are you?"
"My Lord, I don't have a name. I'm 15."
The little boy was a little scared, but when he saw Qin Xingfu looking at him with a smile in his eyes, his nervous heart relaxed a little. He was still thinking in his heart that their adults were so good-looking, more handsome than anyone he had ever seen.
"Okay, I'll give you a name. How about Gao De? You can follow me wherever I go from now on."
"Thank you, Master Gaode, for the name!"
The little boy was very happy because he had a name of his own, and it was given by an adult himself.
"By the way, who is in charge of your affairs?"
Qin Xingfu continued to look at everyone. No one quite understood what she meant by "the manager". The young eunuch next to her asked.
"Sir, are you looking for the butler?"
Qin Xingfu nodded, and a man in his twenties came out.
"Sir, I am your steward, my name is Yue Xin."
"Hello, hello, my name is Qin Xingfu, thank you for your hard work in the future."
"You're welcome, sir!"
Yue Xin wanted to kneel down, but when he thought of what she had just said, he hesitated for a moment.
"Come on, show me what my future residence will look like. Thank you, eunuch! You can go back now!"
Qin Xingfu walked inside after he finished speaking. The little eunuch was quite envious of those people. The master was a very nice person and things would definitely get better and better following him.
Qin Xingfu took a look around and thought his house was really nice. He inspected the servants' room and found that the doors and windows were leaking.
"Yue Xin, you need to spend some money to repair this place. Remember to find a few craftsmen. When they arrive, remember to bring them to see me. I need to make some changes."
Yue Xin nodded.
"Here!"
Yue Xin worked very quickly and soon found craftsmen. Qin Xingfu told the craftsmen about his idea of building a kang and even drew a blueprint. The craftsmen didn't understand but still did it.
Qin Xingfu was afraid of the cold. How could she live without a kang in winter? She made a kang in her room and the servants' rooms, so that they would not be cold in winter.
While the craftsmen were working, Qin Xingfu was chattering on the side. The craftsmen's eyes lit up. They had heard that this adult was very smart, but they didn't expect that anything he did could be so amazing. If this were to get out, would they be rich?
"Sir, can we spread this method? I'll give you money, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Qin Xingfu didn't care. He had never had a strong concept of money since childhood, so he left the matter to Yue Xin.
After guiding the construction of one, Qin Xingfu ignored the others. She took Gao De out to check the farm in the suburbs, check the soil and water source. She felt that the land was a bit barren.
So they had people dig a lot of pits in different places, and then arranged for people to collect the excrement of people and animals in Xianyang City and dump it into the pits. All the weeds and straw on the ground were burned, and then the ashes were also thrown into the pits.
With the help of many people, things were done very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day for court attendance.
At Yue Xin's reminder, Qin Xingfu reluctantly went to court the next day. While waiting outside the palace, everyone kept away from her and covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, leaving her looking confused.
She smelled herself. Didn't she smell bad?
"God, do I stink?"
Gao De moved closer and smelled a fragrance he had never smelled before.
"Adults don't stink, they smell good."
Smell good? She had run out of shower gel and shampoo, so she had been using simple soap these days without adding anything else!
"Would you like to hear what they say?"
Gao De nodded, then ran to the corner to eavesdrop, and came back angrily after a while.
"My lord, they are too much of a bully, saying that you are unlucky."
Those people said even more outrageous things, but he couldn't say it. How could the adults be so good, so dirty and unlucky? The adults were so smart, and those things had their own reasons. He thought those people were unlucky.
As I thought about it, I spat in the direction of those people.
"I understand. It's okay. I'll take care of them later. I have the support of His Majesty. Stand up straight and wait and see how I take care of them."
Qin Xingfu looked down on those people. They were well-dressed and well-fed, but they had no idea how hard it was to grow food. Did they think she was disgusting? Unlucky? If she didn't vomit at you guys soon, she wouldn't be named Qin.
Gao De obediently raised his head and chest, Qin Xingfu entered the court, saluted, and the eunuch shouted loudly.
"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
Qin Xingfu saw that it was not Zhao Gao and felt that Zhao Gao had fallen out of favor. She was secretly happy for a moment, but then she remembered that she still had something to say, so she stepped out of the line. All the ministers glanced at her.
"Your Majesty, I have a report. Here are the details of the recent survey of the farms in the suburbs and the measures I have taken."
Qin Xingfu took out the drawings and data, and wrote down the methods and reasons clearly.
"I have made a field investigation at a farm in the suburbs and found that the soil area is large and the water source is sufficient, but the yield decreases every year. This is because the land is barren. I have made the land fertile by digging pits and composting it, but this is not enough to make the land fertile. So next year I will mainly plant corn and soybeans, and I don't plan to plant millet next year."
As soon as Qin Xingfu finished speaking, someone jumped out and said something.
"Your Majesty, the farm in the suburbs is so large, it is the largest farm in Xianyang. If we don't grow millet, what will we do if there is not enough food next year?"
"That's right. It's been planted that way for years. Why does it have to change when you come?"
Someone immediately agreed, and others nodded.
"That's right, this is a mess!"
Qin Xingfu was calm and composed.
"Oh? Really? If it has always been like this, why is the yield getting lower year by year? When I went to check, there were more weeds in the field than crops. How did you grow them before?"
This one sentence left others speechless, and they didn't know why the output was getting less and less.
Qin Xingfu said proudly.
"This land is like a kettle. Planting crops means pouring water out continuously. When the water in the pool is gone, if you don't add water, how can the crops have a high yield? Just now, you all avoided me as if I were the plague. I'm afraid you are all used to fine clothes and delicious food. Do you know how to grow crops with a high yield? It's just that you don't bother to mention that crops are irrigated with feces and urine. Do you really think that planting crops only requires soil? People have reincarnation, and so do grains. Maybe next year you will be able to eat crops irrigated with your own feces and urine."
"Don't be so bold! Talking about such things in the court is disrespectful."
The usher couldn't bear to watch it any longer and felt disgusted. She was afraid that if she continued, he would vomit.
The First Emperor on top also frowned, feeling a little disgusted!
Fusu has gotten used to it. He used to vomit, but later he would be fine after skipping a few meals. After being hungry, his appetite improved and he felt everything was delicious.
"Okay, there's no need to talk about this anymore. Just make the decision yourself. No need to report it. If nothing else, just leave the court!"
After the court was dismissed, someone said this to her as they passed by.
"Vulgar person!"
Then he flicked his sleeves and left, and Qin Xingfu took a big step forward and grabbed him by the neck.
"Dwarf, what did you say just now? I am a vulgar person? Why? Are you questioning His Majesty? His Majesty said that I am extremely intelligent, how come you say I am a vulgar person? Who are you? You are so great, you are elegant, you are great, you are so ugly and you have the nerve to say that others are vulgar, I think you are vulgar! Your whole family is vulgar."
This guy is really short, less than 1.6 meters tall. How can such a person be an official?
The man was frightened by her words and his face turned pale, then he became red with anger. He tried to break free from her hand, but found that the woman's hand was so strong that she lifted him up directly! !
"Qin Nei Shi, let go, this is Tian Fengchang, an official of Taile."
Li Si quickly scolded her, and only when she heard that the man was of higher rank than her did she let go.
Tian Fengchang quickly took a few steps back.
"You are talking nonsense. When did I ever question His Majesty's decision? I was saying that you behave in a vulgar manner. As an internal historian, your words are not elegant at all."
Qin Xingfu was speechless as he looked at the person in front of him. Could such a person be Feng Chang?
"Oh, really? Since Tian Fengchang said it's elegant, and you have music, how about we pick an instrument to compete? If I lose, I'll admit that I'm vulgar, and I'll give you a hundred gold coins. If you lose, you'll admit that you're vulgar, and I'll give you a hundred gold coins."
Tian Fengchang was very confident.
"Who is afraid of who? Let's bet. I ask all the lords to be my witnesses, and the young master and the prime minister to judge."
The two men selected the chime bells and went to ask for permission first. The First Emperor found it interesting and agreed, and then he went to join in the fun.
After everyone saluted, Tian Fengchang took the initiative and struck the chimes. Qin Xingfu felt like laughing as she watched him fiddling with it with his clumsy hands and feet. She couldn't tell how nice it sounded, it was just average.
When Tian Fengchang finished playing, all the ministers applauded.
"Color! Color! Color!"
Qin Xingfu looked down at him and asked.
"That's it? It's gone?"
Tian Fengchang looked up and said.
"What? Are you scared? If you are, it's not too late to admit defeat now."
Qin Xingfu didn't even look at him, walked to the clock stand, picked up the striking tool and knocked it all over, and said directly to the impatient person.
"Qin Nei Shi, do you know how to do it? If you don't, don't knock it blindly. It's a serious crime if you damage it."
The others sneered after hearing this.
