Chapter 110 I, Qin Shi Huang, send you money!

Outside Zhangtai Palace.
Gai Nie was dressed in white, with a long sword on his waist, and looked very elegant.
If it weren't for his cold and hard face, and his look of keeping strangers away, his appearance would be twice as good.
Gai Nie was ordered by the First Emperor to guard here and not allow anyone to enter the Zhangtai Palace.
Inside Zhangtai Palace.
The First Emperor was reviewing a new batch of memorials that the eunuchs had carried in on a load this morning, and he seemed not to notice Ying Chengjiao who was sitting opposite him.
Ying Chengjiao waited for a quarter of an hour.
He looked at the First Emperor who was concentrating on reviewing memorials, and then looked at the nine-foot-high pile of unreviewed memorials.
Ying Chengjiao knew that if he didn't speak up, the First Emperor would probably spend a whole day reviewing memorials, so he couldn't help but say, "Brother, please give me a quick death."
The First Emperor raised his eyelids slightly, looked at his brother who was trying to please him, and with a stern face, he turned the memorials he had just reviewed over and over, and pushed them in front of his brother, saying, "Your Majesty, do you think Zheng's review is okay? Do you need to revise it?"
Ying Chengjiao shrank back, and said in horror: "Brother, don't scare me!"
Ying Zheng said seriously, "How dare Zheng scare your majesty? When you said you would rebel for one day, aren't you the majesty today?"
Ying Chengjiao chuckled twice.
He walked around the table, then ran over and diligently massaged the shoulders of the First Emperor.
Ying Chengjiao's massage was assisted by internal energy . His strength and accuracy in acupuncture points were excellent, better than those doctors in the palace who had specialized in massage and conditioning for decades.
The First Emperor felt a warm current flowing from his shoulders into his body, as if all his internal organs were soaked in hot springs.
He closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a moment, then suddenly said, "Your Majesty will not attack again, so let Zheng continue to sleep, right?"
While being kneaded by the First Emperor, Ying Chengjiao said frankly: "Brother, I was wrong. Tell me what you want me to do. Let me make it clear first, I don't want the Yong territory, and I won't break the bet."
"A person who is petty and narrow-minded will never achieve great things."
"With my brother the Emperor around, what do I need to do? If someone scolds me, I will scold him back. If someone hits me, I will hit him back. I don't bully others, but if someone wants to bully me, I won't do it."
"Alright, alright, stop pinching me. This is not how you use internal energy." The First Emperor stopped Ying Chengjiao.
"My royal brother, are you not going to pursue this matter?" Ying Chengjiao said expectantly, his hands moving non-stop.
"I woke up three quarters late, and the imperial edict had already been sent to various government offices by Zhao Gao. I have already regretted it once in the eyes of my ministers, how can I regret it a second time?"
The First Emperor turned his head to look at the smile on Ying Chengjiao's face, snorted coldly and said, "Don't think this matter can be covered up so easily. Building highways to all directions is not like building an imperial palace. The imperial mausoleum can be built in Xianyang. I want to build nine highways to connect Shangjun, Linzi, Bashu, Wuguan and other places. It consumes manpower and gifts, which are huge. The court's treasury is not enough to pay for it. You can solve the money issue."
There is always a price to pay for doing something wrong. This time, Ying Chengjiao did not throw a tantrum or act like a spoiled brat. He simply agreed, "Okay."
The First Emperor glanced at Ying Chengjiao coldly and said, "Don't manufacture colored glaze on a large scale and flood the world with colored glaze, which will cause unrest."
"Don't worry, my brother. Now the whole world is under the control of the Qin Empire. How could I do something that would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?"
"In that case, then go back and prepare, and send the money and grain to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"good."
Ying Chengjiao nodded, leaving Ying Zheng alone in Zhangtai Palace.
When leaving the Zhangtai Palace, she glared at Gai Nie fiercely, called him a "scumbag", and then went back to Chang'an Jun Mansion to get the money.
Gai Nie didn't understand what he meant.
Although he had followed Ying Chengjiao for a long time, Ying Chengjiao would occasionally utter one or two words that he had never heard before, leaving him with no idea what he was talking about.
"Someone come."
The First Emperor called out from inside the Zhangtai Palace.
"I am here."
Gai Nie entered.
"Send an eunuch to ask Wang Wan, Li Si, Fu Zikang, Meng Yi and others to wait for me in the Council Hall."
"only."
Gai Nie went out and told the eunuchs, then went inside and stood behind the First Emperor to provide close protection.
The bright sunlight shines into Zhangtai Palace.
In the sunlight, the First Emperor spread out a scroll of memorials that he had not read before, picked up a brush, read it word by word twice in a row, and then wrote his reply at the bottom of the memorial.
Then the First Emperor placed the tip of the brush on the inkstone, picked up a scroll of bamboo slips, spread it out, picked up the brush, read it twice, and approved it.
He repeated this process without interruption, like a meticulous robot.
There is one day in the sky.
The sun in the sky rises every day, shining its bright light on the earth every day.
Qin had one emperor.
The First Emperor of Qin would get up earlier than the sun every day and would go to bed long after the sun had set.
The sun will never set, but the First Emperor will.
After reviewing five memorials in succession, the First Emperor was just about to put down his brush to pick up a new memorial.
A pair of hands had already taken out a new roll of bamboo slips and placed it in front of the First Emperor, unfolding it quickly and skillfully from right to left.
The First Emperor was stunned, with a hint of anger gathering on his brow.
Only he, the First Emperor Ying Zheng, can unfold, review and approve this memorial. This is a power that belongs exclusively to him, the ruler of the world!
"What are you doing?" The First Emperor looked at Gai Nie coldly, with dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
After unfolding the bamboo slips, Gai Nie's face was cold and hard, as if he was unaware that he had just overstepped his authority.
"I will do this, Your Majesty, just approve it, please approve it quickly."
The First Emperor looked at Gai Nie, who had clear eyes, a cold voice, and a clear conscience, for a long while and snorted coldly.
"No need to bother!"
Turning around, the First Emperor, who seemed never to get tired, continued to approve replies.
This memorial has been approved.
The First Emperor skillfully tried to roll up the bamboo slips, put his hand on the left side of the slips, and glanced at Gai Nie who was standing there respectfully.
The hand that was supposed to roll up the bamboo slips instead brushed past them and tapped the table twice.
"Roll it up."
Gai Nie's face remained cold and hard, revealing no other emotions such as surprise, joy, or confusion.
"only."
This peerless swordsman used the hands that only loved to hold swords to quickly roll up the approved bamboo slips on the table and neatly stack them aside.
"Bring it here."
"only."
The new bamboo slips were spread out in front of the First Emperor, and the brush in his hand never placed on the inkstone again.
The sun outside was no different than usual.
The sunlight shining into Zhangtai Palace was no different from before.
But the person who had been busy in the sunlight changed from one to two.
Gai Nie, who had been spreading out and rolling up the bamboo slips for the First Emperor, never thought about whether this was what should be done when issuing seals and decrees.
The sword master, who had always felt that issuing seals and talismans was a lot of work, did not find the boring task of spreading and rolling up the bamboo slips to be troublesome.
He just meticulously did this boring and uninteresting thing that no one had ever done for the First Emperor - not even Zhao Gao, who was the most trusted by the First Emperor.
If Gai Nie from two days ago saw himself like this today, he would probably say "dog licker" in his heart and sigh "Why would a real man do this?"
The First Emperor was reading the memorial when he suddenly asked, "Xia Wuqie said that you are an expert in swordsmanship and have a photographic memory. Is that true?"
Gai Nie replied without hesitation: "Yes."
"Then have you memorized all the words written in this memorial?"
"yes."
"How dare you say that!"
The First Emperor was so angry that he laughed. He threw the memorial in his hand and hit Gai Nie.
Gai Nie did not dodge, nor did he use his internal strength to resist. He allowed the bamboo slips to hit his chest and abdomen, causing some pain.
Then, without waiting for the bamboo slips to fall to the ground, he caught the bamboo slips that had hit him, flattened them out again, and silently placed them in front of the First Emperor's desk without saying a word.
The First Emperor looked at Gai Nie in surprise, then smiled again and shook his head.
This laugh was a laugh of disappointment.
The First Emperor held the brush in his right hand, holding the tip of the brush, and while dipping it into the inkstone, he said, "From today on, I order you to have a worse memory. You will not be able to remember anything you have read in three breaths. Do you understand?"
Gai Nie bowed slightly, raised his hands and lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: " I obey your order."
The two continued to be busy, and their understanding became more and more tacit.
In the same amount of time, the First Emperor could approve twenty memorials in the past, but today he only approved twenty-seven.
The First Emperor dropped the brush in his hand and rubbed his sore right wrist.
Except for the first five memorials, the First Emperor never put down his brush in his right hand and kept reviewing the following twenty-two memorials.
This was the first time that the First Emperor reviewed memorials in this way, and he was still a little uncomfortable with it.
But the First Emperor knew that he would get used to it by the next day and he wouldn't have to rub his right wrist anymore.
He was the First Emperor.
He has to adapt.
The First Emperor picked up the bamboo slip that said "Move the rich and powerful to Xianyang" and resisted the urge to yawn. He said, "Go to the Council Hall. Wang Wan, Li Si and the others should have arrived."
"only."
Gai Nie turned around to give orders.
When Gai Nie turned around and no one saw him, the First Emperor yawned slightly, feeling very satisfied.
After leaving the Zhangtai Palace, the First Emperor walked and thought on the way to the Council Hall.
That young man had not been involved in government affairs for nearly ten years. He had experience in the internal affairs of the Qin Dynasty and could handle them. But he had no experience in such a major event as building a new road for the whole world, which had never happened before.
The nine highways I want to build will connect directly from Xianyang to the border of Qin. They will go east to the East China Sea, north to the Great Wall, south to Lingnan, and west to Longxi. I want to be in Xianyang, and within ten days I can travel by car to the east, south, west, and north of Qin!
Such a huge amount of money would be spent. If he didn't make colored glaze and collect all the money in the world, how could he afford it? I will tell Fu Zikang later that no matter how much money that boy brings, he should say it is enough to build the road.
Oh, yes, this Fu Zikang was also recommended by that bastard, and this strange name was also given by that bastard, I just want to give him a little warning. He should also be very concerned about protecting that bastard's face.
Oh, he was the one who came up with the idea of ​​rebelling for a day...
"Your Majesty."
Four voices, old and young, mixed together.
The First Emperor looked up and discovered that they had arrived at the Council Hall.
He waved to the right prime minister Wang Wan, the left prime minister Li Si, the internal historian Meng Yi, and the internal historian Fu Zikang.
"Get up, get up, let's discuss this matter in private. What's the point of all these vulgar rituals?"
The First Emperor strode into the council hall with his head held high, sat in the chief seat, spread out the bamboo slips, and his first words made the hearts of the four Qin officials skip a beat.
"The power of the nobles in various places is too great to be eliminated, making it difficult for the government to pass orders and govern. In addition, the highway is very expensive, and it is difficult to build it with only the funds of the court, the palace, and the imperial mausoleum. Therefore, I want to move all the rich people in the world to Xianyang, one is to pass orders and stabilize the empire, and the other is to build the highway to ensure peace in the world. What do you think?"
