Shanglin Garden was quickly reclaimed, and people in the court said that they were increasingly confused about His Majesty.
During this period, there were frequent changes in positions in the court, especially Zhao Gao. He felt this most clearly and felt that the emperor was targeting him. His confidant Yan Le was directly killed by the emperor on a pretext. People from his faction, some of whom occupied important positions, were transferred away under various excuses.
In the past few days, His Majesty has issued a new order to re-measure the land of Daqin.
Zhao Gao was trembling with fear during this period and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
A few days ago, Hu Ji came to plead for Hu Hai, wanting His Majesty to release Hu Hai, but she was directly put in solitary confinement by His Majesty.
There are also several new faces in the court, promoted by His Majesty himself.
Many people were discussing this secretly, wondering what His Majesty meant.
However, Ying Zheng was too lazy to explain to them. He had been thinking about the systems his daughter mentioned these days.
Some of these systems cannot be directly applied to the Qin Dynasty. They must be modified according to the actual situation of the Qin Dynasty.
However, the current situation of the Qin Dynasty cannot withstand major changes.
He also thought these systems were good, but once they touched the interests of the gentry, they would definitely lead to endless backlash.
It was with the help of these people that the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, and he could not easily touch these people.
He had only discussed the systems that Zhao Qingrui mentioned with Meng Yi, but he did not summon Feng Quji, Li Si and others. It goes without saying that they would oppose it and even mobilize many officials in the court to oppose it.
By then, the most eccentric Chunyu Yue will probably jump out again, and those Confucian scholars will point at his nose and scold him again.
It affected the interests of too many people, which made him hesitate.
"Your Majesty, why do you have to worry? I think the little princess doesn't seem to worry at all that these plans will fail. She should have a way to deal with it." For the past two days, His Majesty has been unable to eat or drink, and has been thinking about the reform, and has not even taken care of his weight loss plan.
Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi dimly. He was Zhao Qingrui's father. If he asked his daughter for everything, where would he put his face?
Meng Yi was unaware of the burden of his old father that His Majesty couldn't let go of. The implementation of these policies would certainly make the already powerful Qin even more powerful, and he strongly supported these policies in his heart.
He had already thought it through. As long as His Majesty gave the order, he would lead the Meng family to respond immediately and set an example for all officials.
"I'll think about it again." Ying Zheng sighed softly, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Great Qin can't withstand major turmoil, otherwise the remnants of the six kingdoms will take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble again."
"Your Majesty is right." Meng Yi bowed and said, indeed, the current Qin Dynasty could not withstand any major turmoil.
"How are the preparations for the sacrifice going? Qingrui's identity probably won't be kept secret for long." Ying Zheng changed the subject and stopped thinking about these bad things for the time being.
"It's still in preparation. Your Majesty is also aware that the treasury is empty." Meng Yi looked at the First Emperor somewhat embarrassedly.
According to His Majesty's intention, it should be a grand celebration. His Majesty has also taken out a lot of good things, and the rest will come from the national treasury. However, there is nothing good in the national treasury now.
Gripping the hilt of the Taia Sword tightly, the thought of modifying it came to his mind again.
"Then why don't you think of a solution? Why? Do you want to take things out of my private vault?"
"I will find a solution right away."
After Meng Yi left, Ying Zheng called Dun Ruo over again.
"What did you just say?" Ying Zheng widened his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the little princess has had the pig castrated." Dun Ruo reported again honestly and glanced at His Majesty secretly. His Majesty looked devastated.
When he first found out, he was also shocked.
Ying Zheng was speechless, he didn't know what his little girl was thinking.
Ying Zheng took a deep breath. He felt that his daughter would not do useless work. "Why do you do this?"
"I heard that pigs raised after being castrated don't have a strong smell, grow faster, and are fatter."
Ying Zheng touched his chin. He had eaten pork when he went to Jingshui Pavilion before. The food at his daughter's place was very different from the food outside. He hadn't thought much about it before. He just thought that the cooking method there was different from that in other places.
"Go and call Fusu."
Ying Zheng planned to build a breeding area in Shanglinyuan to see if what his daughter said was true.
When he arrived at Zhangtai Palace, Fusu thought that his father was going to assign him other tasks.
However, after receiving the order from his father, Fusu walked out of Zhangtai Palace in a daze and with a look of collapse.
The next day, bursts of miserable pig squeals were heard in Shanglin Garden, and Prince Fusu was directing people to work with an expressionless face.
The people from the farming family would look at Master Fusu from time to time, and their eyes were so meaningful.
It seems to be saying, I didn't expect that Prince Fusu actually has such a perverted hobby, eh~~
Fusu was in a daze the whole day. His father directly caught twenty piglets and castrated them all. The whole morning was filled with screams.
As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with those strange screams and the weird looks from those around him.
He has never been so crazy in his life. What on earth does his father want to do?
His father has issued several orders recently, and he always has a feeling that something big is going to happen.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" The attendant beside Fusu asked worriedly. Young Master Fusu was in a very bad condition today.
"I'm fine. How are the sweet potato seedlings growing?" Fusu shook his head, trying not to think about that incident.
Ying Zheng also had people cut some sweet potato vines from Jingshui Pavilion. The vines there were growing very well and were planted everywhere.
"It has survived and shows no signs of withering." The attendant said seriously.
With the group of farmers watching over there, the potato vines will be fine and are growing well.
The land in Shanglinyuan is very large. It was used for hunting before, but now it has all been reclaimed. The potato vines cut from Jingshui Pavilion are not enough, so we have to grow seedlings ourselves. Fortunately, there is a tenant farmer here who looks experienced.
"That's good." Fusu rubbed his eyebrows. He would rather kill those Huns than guard this large field of sweet potatoes here.
After the attendants left, Fusu sat at the desk and began to write a memorial.
On this side, Zhao Qingrui was also busy opening the bookstore. The books in the bookstore were all blank.
Books can be read for free in the store, and they can also be sold. The store also recruits book copyists on a long-term basis, which made the bookstore completely popular in Xianyang.
Paper had only been popularized for a short time, but they were able to open such a large bookstore with a very rich collection of books of all kinds.
The bookstore is very popular and open to everyone, but some people are starting to get upset.
