Simply perfect.
However, building a canal requires money.
In this way, it is a good thing that Su Hu and others gave me money.
Ying Yuan seemed to foresee a scene in the near future where heroes from all over the Qin Dynasty would rise up.
It’s not that difficult to become a Daluo Jinxian.
......
The Office of the Minister of Personnel.
The Longxi Li family and their group have just arrived here.
The Minister of Personnel, Li Linfu, was Li Shishi's "uncle".
As for Li Shishi's father, Li Yin, he had not seen his brother for a long time.
On this day, Li Linfu personally opened the middle door to welcome Li Yin.
After the two brothers bowed to each other, they walked into the mansion side by side.
"Second brother, if it weren't for your management, my Li family would have been in decline over the years. I am very grateful to you."
"Brother, what are you talking about? You are the next head of the Li family. As a younger brother, isn't it my duty to help you?"
"Tonight is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. You and I, brothers, must not leave until we are drunk."
“…”
After everyone arrived at the main hall, Li Linfu noticed his niece, Li Shishi, who was as beautiful as a flower and as gentle as the moon, and said with a smile:
"The last time I saw Shishi was four or five years ago. At that time, Shishi was still a little girl. In the blink of an eye, she has reached the stage of discussing marriage. It's really fast."
Li Shishi bowed and said, "Shishi greets uncle."
Li Linfu waved his hand and said with a smile, "We are all family, so there is no need for those empty formalities."
Li Yin slowly said, "When the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is held, Shishi will represent our Li family and play a song for her.
By then, I want to see which young man in Xianyang City is worthy of our Shishi."
"Dad, I don't want to get married so soon."
Without waiting for Li Linfu's response, Li Shishi became restless.
Seeing this, the former laughed and said, "The girls of our Li family will never have trouble finding a husband. If Shishi doesn't want to get married soon, then she can just wait and see. There's no rush.
When you find a suitable husband, I, your uncle, will personally go to your house to propose marriage on your behalf."
"whee."
Li Shishi smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you very much, uncle."
In the Qin State, everyone from the princes and ministers to the peddlers and porters were proud to marry a girl from aristocratic family.
What's more, Li Shishi is a legitimate daughter of the Li family.
The status is even more noble.
I'm afraid she's only slightly inferior to the princess.
Every year on the Empress Dowager’s birthday, all the major families would put on a show.
It is usually performed by young people.
The purpose was to show himself among the dignitaries in Xianyang City.
So that they know that the family has successors.
Over time, it became a tradition.
The one representing the Li family today is Li Shishi.
I have to say, the music played by this woman is very nice.
I'm afraid she is not much inferior to Zhen Mi.
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Linfu got down to business. "Have you brought the 10 million taels of silver I asked you to prepare?"
Li Yin said truthfully, "When I saw the letter from my brother, I had been away from home for a long time, so I had not made any preparations.
But please rest assured, brother, I have already asked businesses across the country to urgently raise the money, and I believe it won't be long before it can be shipped to Xianyang."
Hearing this, Li Linfu nodded contentedly and said:
"Your Majesty is a wise ruler who has never been seen before. If our Li family wants to continue to prosper, we must be firmly tied to His Majesty on the same ship.
Otherwise, with your majesty's means, it would not be easy to deal with our Li family, but it would not be difficult either."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yin was somewhat shocked and said, "On the way here, I heard a lot of rumors about Your Majesty. Could it be that Your Majesty was really trying to cover up his own shortcomings?"
Rumors are just rumors, but for something like this, it’s more reliable to get the answer from your own brother.
Li Yin said solemnly, "Indeed, Your Majesty's methods are far beyond our comprehension. Without a doubt, Your Majesty is the most wise monarch our Great Qin has had in the past two hundred years."
Li Yin was extremely shocked when he heard the evaluation from his brother.
At the same time, Li Shishi also seemed a little surprised.
Over the past few days, her perception of Ying Yuan has changed.
I was originally convinced that he was a tyrant.
Now that I have heard more stories about him, I gradually realize that he might have really been desecrating himself before.
Now hearing my uncle's words again, I am even more certain of my inner thoughts.
......
Not long after, Li Linfu brought Li Yin and his party into the palace.
After all, judging by the time, the banquet is about to begin.
Going early would also allow Li Yin to get to know more ministers in the court.
As for Li Shishi, she can have a good chat with young people and get more exposure to the outside world.
Over at the Zhengde Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Many young men and women gathered here.
He plays the piano, performs music, or composes poems, feeling very comfortable.
This was specially arranged by Daji.
These young people are all descendants of officials.
Maybe after today, many marriages can be facilitated.
As for Li Yin, Su Hu and others, they went to Shoukang Palace early.
at this time.
Inside the Xuanzheng Hall.
Daji said to Ying Yuan, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is about to begin. Do you think we should go when the banquet officially begins, or go now?"
Hearing this, the latter shook his head and said, "If I go too early, those people won't be able to eat, drink and have fun as they please. Let's go later."
"Then Your Majesty, would you like to accompany me to Zhengde Palace?" Daji asked with a smile.
"What are you going there for?"
Ying Yuan was puzzled.
Daji said earnestly, "There are many young people gathered over there. They may become pillars of the country in the future. It would be great if Your Majesty could go meet them and say a few words to encourage them."
"You want to go?"
"I do have this idea."
"Well, I'll go with you to take a look."
...
at the same time.
Over at the Zhengde Hall, many young people suddenly started talking about the current emperor.
His words were full of praise for Ying Yuan.
There are also some people discussing current affairs.
The rest is a discussion of poetry and songs.
Many women from official families in Xianyang City came.
The way they sat together and competed with each other for beauty attracted the attention of many men.
Since it was Li Shishi’s first time entering the palace, she didn’t know how to get to Zhengde Hall.
So, Li Linfu brought her here personally.
At the same time, Cai Jing also brought a woman, who was said to be his distant niece.
The father of this woman is a peerless scholar in the territory of Daqin.
