Li Si.
Although Qin Shihuang was very angry about Li Si's betrayal.
But when he calmed down, he guessed why Li Si made such a decision.
Li Si and Fusu had always had different political views. If Fusu ascended the throne, the Legalists would inevitably be suppressed.
Confucianism will be superior to Legalism.
This was something Li Si could never accept.
Since he had already betrayed himself, why did he allow the court to become Zhao Gao's one-man show?
Qin Shihuang recognized Li Si's ability.
[Li Si? Li Si has been gone for a long time!]
Zhang Yuan first replied in his mind, then sorted out his words and spoke.
"Well, Li Si, as you know, is a man who is still devoted to the Qin Dynasty. Although he killed Fusu, it does not mean that he also agrees with the rule of Qin II."
Li Si is a difficult person to judge. He probably wanted his ancestors to live a long life the most. He's not loyal to anyone except you!
Zhang Yuan's thoughts inexplicably soothed Qin Shihuang's emotions.
After all, he knew Li Si's loyalty to him.
He also didn't want to take action against Li Si now.
There is nothing else, because Li Si is useful!
Zhang Yuan glanced at Qin Shi Huang's expression and spoke again, "In order to repair the Afang Palace, Qin Ershi imposed forced labor and increased taxes everywhere, causing widespread public outcry. For the common good of the class, Li Si, along with Right Prime Minister Qu Ji and General Feng Jie, jointly submitted a petition."
"He advised the Second Emperor of Qin to reduce taxes and labor service to prevent chaos under heaven, but every time he submitted a petition, he was unable to see Hu Hai."
"Then he rushed to the Xianyang Palace, where Hu Hai was drinking and having fun with the concubines and maids. When he saw Li Si's memorial, he became furious and arrested them all."
"In prison, Li Si remained steadfast and continued to submit petitions, but they were all withheld by Zhao Gao. To eliminate dissidents, Zhao Gao used the allegation that Li Si and his son were plotting a rebellion to torture Li Si. Li Si could not bear it any longer and was forced to confess to the conspiracy. In the second year of the reign of Qin II, he was executed along with his entire clan."
Qin Shihuang snorted coldly. He didn't know what to say. He had no sympathy for Li Si's fate.
However, without Li Si, how many people would dare to make suggestions?
The fate of the Qin Dynasty was determined the moment Hu Hai ascended the throne.
Qin Shi Huang wanted to know what happened next, and he was about to ask more.
But at this time, Zhang Yuan had already received a prompt from the system.
[Host, can we trade now? You've been talking for so long... 007 is almost dozing off.]
"It's closing time in an hour, and you haven't even started trading yet. Are you planning to go bankrupt today?"
Zhang Yuan was reminded by 007 and then he noticed that the time on the wall was already three o'clock in the morning.
There is one thing I didn't do today.
So, before Qin Shihuang opened his mouth, Zhang Yuan spoke first.
"Grandfather, it's getting late. Today's trading time will end in half an hour. Let's trade first, shall we? We can discuss the rest tomorrow."
When Qin Shi Huang heard that there was only half an hour left for trading, he did not bother to ask any other questions.
Now that he is still alive, he can do his best to improve the lives of the people of Qin.
Not to mention, he came to the afterlife in this life and knew part of the direction of history.
Some things can reasonably be avoided.
So the focus now is still on trading materials.
"Okay, let's trade first! By the way, did you replenish yesterday's supplies today? I want them all."
Zhang Yuan nodded quickly: "Yes, I'll move it to the door for you later."
"Okay, then you can introduce other things to me today."
Qin Shi Huang paced back and forth, swaying on both sides of the shelf.
Zhang Yuan chuckled, walked a few steps inside, and waved to Qin Shihuang.
"Grandfather, please come quickly and let me show you the paper we use in later generations."
"Paper?" The First Emperor was puzzled.
[Yeah, yeah! Look at all those bamboo slips and carving knives you're using. Tsk, tsk, this is so troublesome.]
[With paper, you can review hundreds more memorials every day.]
Hiss, the First Emperor took a breath of cold air.
Can hundreds of memorials be approved every day?
What kind of magical object is this?
He quickened his pace, eager to see what that magical thing was.
Zhang Yuan placed the paper and pen in the daily necessities area near the soap.
He pulled out a gel pen from his pencil case and took out a brand new notebook.
He opened the notebook and pen cap and casually wrote a few words on the paper.
Although Qin Shihuang could not understand the fonts of later generations, he clearly saw that the pen made a stroke on the white object, leaving a mark.
He stretched out his hand eagerly, "Let me try."
Zhang Yuan handed the paper and pen to Qin Shihuang.
Qin Shi Huang took the pen and notebook and wrote a few small seal characters on them.
Looking at the words "Ying Zheng" on the white paper, Qin Shi Huang's breathing gradually became heavier.
If only pens and paper could be made widely available! If only they could be made widely available!
Oh my god....
Qin Shi Huang, who knew the rules of the supermarket, did not ask whether he could be given the recipe this time.
He simply waved his hand and said, "How many papers and pens do you have? I want them all!"
Zhang Yuan said generously, "No problem, I've prepared everything for you!"
"Okay! Keep showing me the good stuff!"
Qin Shihuang swept away his not-so-good mood and returned to a state of shock and joy.
Zhang Yuan then gave the sweet potatoes he bought today to Qin Shihuang.
The situation regarding the output value of sweet potatoes is also explained.
Qin Shi Huang was numb.
He didn't know what expression to put on his face, so he suddenly asked, "Is the grain output value in your future generations calculated using 1,000 kilograms per mu?"
Zhang Yuan laughed awkwardly and denied, "Of course not. I just chose some that are suitable for planting, have high yields, and can be used in Daqin."
Qin Shihuang nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, not all grain yields are calculated based on 1,000 kilograms per mu.
Before he could completely relax, Zhang Yuan's inner voice sounded again.
[Actually, it's about the same. There are quite a few crops that yield a thousand kilograms per mu, and there are even more exotic fruits. Anyway, in the future, everyone in our generation will eat white rice, and there are still girls who are always shouting about losing weight.]
Qin Shi Huang: ...
In fact, he didn't have to listen to this voice.
He put the sweet potato in his hand back to Zhang Yuan with an expressionless face, and walked to the other side with his hands behind his back.
Zhang Yuan: ???
What happened to our ancestors?
Why are you suddenly unhappy?
I don't understand.
Why.....
The emperor's heart is as deep as the sea!
It's even harder to understand than women!
Come on, let’s continue introducing things to our ancestors.
"Come, come, come here, ancestor, this is..."
