My idea was just a sudden whim, why do you, the rascal who secretly curses me in your heart, praise it so highly?
However, this kid knows how to flatter! Listening to him makes me feel incredibly comfortable. Li Lin is truly different from others; he has good taste!
"Your Majesty, I will certainly do my utmost to contribute my share to Your Majesty's great cause of unifying the world!"
"Very well, at the morning court session, I will bestow upon you the title of Grand Chancellor in front of all the civil and military officials. This is the first time in a hundred years since Shang Yang that you have received such an honor. I hope you will..."
"Your Majesty, you mustn't! Your Majesty, have you forgotten my identity?"
Upon hearing this, Li Lin immediately thought of the Grand Master.
He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back.
"My God, who doesn't know that becoming the Grand Minister of Works in Qin never ends well? Even someone as capable as Shang Yang was torn apart by five horses. If I, a mere ordinary person, were to become Grand Minister, wouldn't I be seen as a thorn in the side by those old men like Li Si and Wang Ben? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you truly want to give me an important position, please don't flatter me like this and ruin me!"
"Cough cough!"
The First Emperor was immediately embarrassed, his face darkening. He thought to himself: I almost forgot that this little guy is a successor of Taoism. If I give him a high-ranking position and generous salary, he might just abandon his post and run away like that old fellow Zhuang Zhou.
No, I need to think of a better solution. How about giving him the Construction Bureau first?
In any case, over the years, the Construction Division has contributed all the weapons used in the Qin Dynasty's wars to the Qin.
Since I unified the country, most of the artisans here have been idle. They are all skilled people, and they should have a significant effect on building these new things.
Let's just leave everything to this brat!
Having made up his mind, the First Emperor slowly spoke: "How about this, I will entrust the Construction Division under the Ministry of Revenue to you. The official position in the Construction Division is not high, but in order to balance the power, your position as Imperial Censor will remain unchanged, and you will concurrently lead the Construction Division."
"this......"
Li Lin wanted to decline again, but the First Emperor suddenly narrowed his eyes, which frightened him so much that he immediately agreed. After all, the emperor's bottom line was limited, and he couldn't be too greedy.
Otherwise, it will only backfire.
"Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your trust and strive to complete these four great inventions as soon as possible!"
"Hmm, that's good. Let's go, Minister Li, come with me to the morning court!"
"promise!"
