"Much better, don't worry." Fan Zeng raised his hand and touched his grandson's long hair, saying gently.
He knew very well his physical condition. He was old and wouldn't live long.
"Grandpa, please get better soon. I have saved a lot of money. I heard that there are many delicious foods in Xianyang. When you get better, I will take you to eat delicious food." Fan Hun said happily.
After taking a deep look at his grandson, Fan Zeng's expression softened. "Okay."
He never told his grandson about his national hatred and family feuds, and he only hoped that his grandson could live a happy life.
The current Qin State is indeed good, much better than the former Chu State.
His thoughts and feelings are probably not understood by this younger generation at all.
This little guy was born after the unification of Qin. Now the Qin Dynasty is more prosperous and powerful, but the little guy has never considered himself a Chu citizen and is still happy that he is a Qin citizen.
Fan Zeng's mood is quite complicated now. The State of Chu is gone, and his home is gone too.
He knew he shouldn't impose these emotions on his children, but his life was coming to an end and he would never see his home again.
"What's wrong with grandpa?" Fan Hun keenly noticed that his grandpa was in a bad mood.
"It's okay. I'm very happy to see you grow up, cough cough cough." Fan Zeng said seriously.
"By the way, you have been on leave for several days. Go back to school tomorrow. There are servants to take care of you at home. I'm fine." Fan Zeng looked at his grandson tenderly.
The child has very good grades in school and receives certificates and various awards every semester. He is sincerely happy for his grandson.
Of course, he would definitely be happier if these rewards were issued by the State of Chu.
"Okay, grandpa, you have to take medicine every day at home. I will check on you when I come back in the evening." Fan Hun said seriously.
Fan Hun was also aware of his grandfather's condition. The doctor had already told him that his grandfather was older than many people of this era. The fact that he could live to such an old age was worth his life.
In the last moments of his grandfather's life, he hoped that his grandfather could pass away happily.
He had been dependent on his grandfather since he was a child. His parents died of an epidemic when he was very young. If his grandfather passed away, he would be alone in this world.
"I know, I know. You're even bothering me." Fan Zeng laughed.
——
After letting Dunruo understand Fan Zeng's situation, Zhao Qingrui finally gave up the decision to let Fan Zeng come to Xianyang.
He even approved Fan Zeng's letter of retirement and gave him some rewards. The money he received was enough to make life more comfortable for the grandfather and grandson, so that they wouldn't have to worry about their livelihood for the next few years.
A few years later, Fan Hun had grown up and was able to earn money to support himself.
Zhao Qingrui looked at Fan Hun's information. This young man had very good academic performance and was also very talented in mechanical manufacturing.
If there is an opportunity in the future, he can be promoted to the Ministry of Industry.
Zhao Qingrui marked Fan Hun's name and put it aside.
"Go and call the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Revenue over." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
After a while, Li Si and Feng Quji came together.
"Your Majesty, I wonder why you summoned us?" the two men asked respectfully.
"Please sit down first. I have something to discuss with you two." Zhao Qingrui calmly asked the two to sit back in their seats.
"There are quite a few officials who retire in the Great Qin every year. I plan to prepare some retirement wages. That is, after reaching a certain age, the court will give a certain amount of pension every year so that the officials who have made contributions to the Great Qin can spend their old age in peace." Zhao Qingrui looked at the two of them seriously.
A large portion of the officials in the Qin officialdom were promoted by my father. So many years have passed, and these people are old. When they retire, even if they have some savings over the years, their lives will definitely be difficult.
Zhao Qingrui felt that it was very common for people in officialdom to become forgotten after leaving, but he could not sit idly by and watch those who had devoted most of their lives to the Qin Dynasty suffer.
Both of them were stunned. They didn't expect that His Majesty called them over just to talk about this matter.
However, this matter is indeed important.
"Your Majesty, I think it's okay, but the pension must be kept within a certain limit. Money is needed everywhere in the Qin Dynasty, and the treasury has some surplus money, but we can't give too much." Li Si said seriously.
"I understand this, that's why I asked you to come here to discuss this matter with you." Zhao Qingrui said gently.
Li Si and Feng Quji are also old, and she doesn't believe that they don't care about this matter.
The two knew about physical training methods and practiced them occasionally, but compared to the generals, their training was much more perfunctory.
Although they are still in good health, they all know that they are old and don’t have many years left to live.
Now that Zhao Qingrui proposed to increase the retirement salary, both of them were deeply moved.
They have paid so much for the Qin Dynasty, what they want is a good beginning and a good end.
"Your Majesty, I also think that the idea of retirement salary is good. As long as it is spread out, there will definitely be many people willing to work hard for the prosperity of Daqin." Feng Quji said firmly.
Zhao Qingrui was very clear about the situation of the national treasury. Daqin had become much more prosperous now, and the family fortune accumulated in the national treasury was enough to pay pensions, and the consumption was not much.
The three of them discussed for a long time in Zhangtai Palace and came up with a rough outline of the rules.
At the grand court meeting, Feng Quji stood up and raised this matter, and Li Si also echoed him.
