The Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Transmigrating to Great Qin, Zhao Qingrui found herself with land and money at home, and a cheat system. To avoid becoming cannon fodder in chaotic times, she brought her father to recruit soldiers...

Chapter 105 Big Fool

"It is indeed a credit, Father. How many books do you think are preserved today?" Zhao Qingrui said with a mysterious smile.

"A lot, a lot." Ying Zheng nodded seriously. Many sages have emerged in the long river of history, and these sages have left behind many works.

"Do you think it can be done in a day or two?"

The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched. Well, it turned out that he was waiting for Wang Shourong here. This guy only thought about the benefits but didn't think about how much workload it would be.

Wang Shourong, who was being remembered by Ying Zheng, was feeling complacent at the moment. He finally had the opportunity to do something big, to edit a book. He would definitely be able to go down in history in the future. He was excited just thinking about it.

After leaving court, he couldn't wait to run to his good friend to tell him the good news.

Chunyu Yue looked at the big fool in front of him and asked, "Do you think this is a good thing?"

"Isn't it? This is a great thing that will go down in history." Wang Shourong looked at Chunyu Yue in confusion. Why did he look at him as if he were a fool?

"Do you know how many books the entire Qin Dynasty has? His Majesty's request is to organize all the books, not just the books of the Qin Dynasty. If you want to sort them all out and re-compile them, you may not be able to finish this task even if you spend the rest of your life doing it alone." Chunyu Yue looked at Wang Shourong coldly.

This idiot was sold and still helped count the money.

He was kicked out of the doctoral institute all of a sudden, and his control over the institute became weaker thereafter.

Besides, I don’t know if he can return to his doctoral program again? Chunyu Yue thought worriedly.

The expression on Wang Shourong's face froze. He had never thought so much before.

After hearing what Chunyu Yue said, he realized that all the books in the Qin Dynasty were indeed very large, and the types of books preserved were also very diverse. If he wanted to compile them again, he didn't know when he would be able to do so, and he didn't know whether he could finish compiling them in this lifetime.

"Dr. Chunyu, what should I do? Please help me." Wang Shourong said hurriedly.

"How can I help you? I can't even protect myself." Chunyu Yue didn't want to talk to this big fool.

The only sounds left in the room were the two sighs. They knew that this time it was really over.

"Doctor Chunyu, what do you think His Majesty wants to do?" Wang Shourong sighed sadly.

Now, he lost his previous good position and was sent to edit books. He would have to spend the rest of his life with that pile of books. From now on, he would not even be qualified to participate in court politics.

"What else can we do? All the memorials have been reviewed by the little princess. Your Majesty is trying to risk the world's disapproval by making the little princess the crown prince. Didn't you see that Prince Fusu has been sent away, and she has taken his place?" Chunyu Yue sneered.

"No, that can't be." Wang Shourong was shocked.

"It's almost certain. Just wait and see." Although he stayed at home, he was well-informed. His Majesty often asked the little princess to review memorials and took her to ride in the chariot. This was the emperor's carriage and no prince or princess had ever ridden in it.

Wang Shourong was in a state of panic, "Then what should we do?"

"What can we do? We just have to wait and see. His Majesty doesn't like Confucian scholars. You have seen what happened to you today. That little princess is not easy to deal with. If anyone stands up to oppose you, the number of people accompanying you will increase." After all, as a veteran who has been in the officialdom for so many years, Chunyu Yue saw it clearly.

All he wanted now was to end his confinement as soon as possible so that he could come out and assist Fusu.

Given Fusu's personality, if His Majesty had really made a decision, he would definitely not fight for it.

The only one he could rely on was Prince Fusu. If Prince Fusu lost power, he would really have nothing.

Fusu must be made more motivated. Once he gets out, he will have to participate more in the court and get more people to support Prince Fusu.

When he arrived at Shanglin Garden, Ying Zheng inspected the sweet potatoes he had planted. Seeing that the sweet potatoes and potatoes were growing well, his mood unconsciously brightened.

The farmers took good care of Shanglinyuan, and they were not useless.

"Where is Hu Hai? I'll go and see him." Ying Zheng asked Gongzi Gao who was accompanying him.

"Your son will take your father there." Gongzi Gao was not too surprised. Hu Hai had been doing dirty and tiring work in the breeding area for so long. After all, he was your father's son, and your father should take him back.

When the First Emperor came over, Wang Ben bowed and followed him.

Seeing his father coming to see him, Hu Hai was so surprised that he dropped the broom in his hand and wanted to pounce on him.

Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Ben beside him with disdain in his eyes.

Wang Ben understood and placed the bronze sword hanging from his waist between Ying Zheng and Hu Hai.

"Father, are you saving me? I've had enough. Wang Ben whips me every day. You must let me vent my anger." Hu Hai kept complaining about the grievances he had suffered during this period. He wanted to pry away the sword blocking his father's way, but unfortunately, his strength was not enough in front of Wang Ben.

"What are you dreaming about? You have to work for me here even if you die. How can you think of going back?" Ying Zheng sneered.

Hu Hai froze suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief. Didn’t his father come to take him back to the palace?

"Father, you won't let me go back?" Hu Hai took two steps back, unable to accept this fact.

"I just came to see if you are lazy, Wang Ben. If he dares to be lazy, I will whip him hard." Ying Zheng did not treat Hu Hai well at all. Whenever he thought of what his daughter said, he wanted to kill Hu Hai directly.

"Yes." Wang Ben responded respectfully. His Majesty's decision really surprised him. He thought Hu Hai could escape from his suffering today. This kid might find ways to take revenge on him in the future.

I didn't expect that His Majesty was just here to take a look.

Gongzi Gao, who was standing beside him, was even more surprised. What was going on? Had Hu Hai really fallen out of favor?

Although his younger sister is back now and has taken away some of his father's favor, Hu Hai fell so quickly that everyone was caught off guard.

"Father, I just didn't study hard. Why are you so cruel to me?" Hu Hai collapsed on the ground. His wealth and glory were gone. He could only raise pigs and chickens here from now on.

"You just didn't study hard? Haha, I have been too pampering to you in the past, allowing you to do whatever you want." Of course, the real reason could not be told to Hu Hai.

Hu Hai lowered his head, and a depressed mood surrounded him, as if he was completely isolated from the world.

It must be that damn girl. She said something in front of the emperor that made him treat him like that. In an instant, Hu Hai thought of Zhao Qingrui.

He had heard a lot of things these days, such as how favored his sister was.
