Chapter 7 System Structure [Jinjiang Authentic Edition Exclusive Release·The First Emperor's Great...
"Ying, be honest!"
Looking at his naughty son twisting and turning in his arms, Wang Ling couldn't help but reach out and gently slap the little baby's butt. Wang Ben, who was kneeling opposite him, saw this scene and felt heartbroken:
"My dear, please don't be so upset. It would be better if the little one is more lively."
"Yes, sister, Ying'er is so cute!"
Wang Li also followed and said to his elder sister.
"Okay, okay, as Ying's mother, I think he's naughty. Now I can't even give him a pat on the butt to teach him a lesson?"
Wang Ling was so amused by the look of her father and brother who loved their grandson/nephew that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pointed at the chubby boy who had calmed down in her arms, and told her father and brother about her son's "heroic deeds" in Zhangtai Palace and Rose Palace during the day!
Qin Ying's round face turned slightly red when he heard this, and his two little feet couldn't help picking at their socks again. He already had a feeling that what happened in the palace today would become a dark history that the adults would laugh every time they recalled it!
Not surprisingly, after hearing their daughter/eldest sister’s narration of “interesting stories about their eldest grandson”, Wang Ben and Wang Li couldn’t help but throw their heads back and burst into laughter.
Wang Ben smiled and looked at his grandson opposite him with shining eyes, praising him loudly and generously:
"Oh! Ying'er, you're worthy of being half of my Wang family's blood! As His Majesty's eldest grandson, you should be braver! But if you want to succeed, courage alone isn't enough; you also need a sharp mind. When you grow up, don't learn your father's stubborn temper."
Hearing his father's words of lamenting his brother-in-law, Wang Li, as the brother-in-law, couldn't help but nod slightly. Although his status did not qualify him to comment on the eldest son, deep down in his heart, his feelings towards his brother-in-law were really hard to describe.
It is true that my brother-in-law is a first-class gentleman in terms of both moral character and talent, and he is worthy of his nice name from the Book of Songs. But the key issue is that he is the eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor, and he will take over the throne of the Qin Dynasty from His Majesty in the future. Although a gentleman has a good reputation, if a monarch only emphasizes benevolence, can he suppress the powerful ministers and the remnants of the six countries who have never given up?
In the Qin Dynasty, which relied on the Legalists to govern and prosper the country, his brother-in-law, as the eldest prince, happened to admire Confucianism. He had no doubt that if his brother-in-law succeeded to the throne now, he would definitely reward land and titles to his many younger brothers and sisters.
Alas, this stubborn brother-in-law is simply beyond words, he is not like Your Majesty at all!
Seeing the undisguised disparagement of his lover in his father's words, a hint of helplessness flashed across Wang Ling's eyes.
She knew that not only her father had a lukewarm opinion of Liangren, but even the Chief Justice Li Si, the State Marshal Liao, and the veteran minister of four dynasties, Cai Ze, who were all favored by His Majesty in the court, were very hostile to Liangren. Apart from the Meng family who had a good relationship with Liangren due to personal friendship and a group of old Qin nobles who protected their feudal interests, the rest of the new foreign nobles who came from Guandong and followed His Majesty to destroy the six kingdoms were not very warm to Liangren, the eldest son.
Qin Ying, who was listening hard with his ears erect, couldn't help but blink. He didn't expect that the rift between his father and his maternal family would appear so early.

[Host triggers a random mission - A loving father and a filial son.]
[Host, please note: In recent years, with your great-grandfather's declining health, the situation in the former dynasty has become turbulent. Your maternal grandfather has long been dissatisfied with your father, and your uncle also has a deep prejudice against your father. It is still a year before your great-grandfather Shaqiu passes away. I hope that within three months, the host can persuade your maternal grandfather to reduce his hostility towards your father and go to the palace as soon as possible to persuade your great-grandfather to recall your father from the Great Wall. Upon completion of this task, you will be rewarded with a blind box draw.]
Qin Ying opened her mouth in surprise when she heard the sudden mechanical electronic sound. After the mechanical electronic sound fell, she watched the transparent light curtain appear in front of her again out of thin air. The electronic countdown of "three months" appeared on the light curtain.
He couldn't help but frown, not really understanding what this half-finished system was talking about. His father was imprisoned by his grandfather, and he wasn't guarding the Great Wall. How could he ask his grandfather to call his unfortunate father back from the Great Wall?
Weird and unclear.
He sighed in his heart and decided to wait for two days before looking into this sudden task which was not urgent.
Wang Ben and Wang Li came to the eldest son's house this afternoon to see their grandson/nephew. After seeing Qin Ying's lively and active personality and chubby and healthy body, they glanced out the window and saw that the sky was getting dark and the curfew was approaching, so they smiled and stood up from their seats, said goodbye to their daughter/eldest sister, and went home contentedly.
…
When it was completely dark, Qin Ying finished the small bowl of fish porridge fed to him by the wet nurse, and was then carried by the wet nurse into the bathroom to take a bath. He changed into a loose silk robe and lay down in the crib to rest.
He couldn't help but concentrate his consciousness, brought the system light screen hidden in his mind to his eyes, and devoted himself to studying the blind box check-in system that he had bound to.
He found that this system was mainly composed of three sections. One was the system mall, which sold a wide variety of items, including many items from other worlds; another was a system space of about 20 cubic meters, which was used to store system items; and the remaining one was a colorful big turntable and the square lottery blind box under the turntable.
He can use his mind to complete the "regular task" of "system check-in" every day. Each check-in can randomly obtain 1 to 20 "blind box coins". The "blind box coins" obtained can be accumulated for shopping in the system mall, and can also be exchanged for "random blind box lottery times".
In addition to daily "regular tasks", there are also various "temporary tasks" randomly released by the system with clear deadlines. If the "temporary tasks" are completed on time, you will be rewarded with "blind box draw times" or "blind box coins". If the task fails, the "blind box coins" in the account balance will be deducted.
In today's task bar, the regular sign-in tasks and the novice task "Amazing Success" have been completed, and there is also a "Fatherly Love and Filial Piety" task that is "in progress".
Qin Ying's account balance contained the "9" "blind box coins" he'd earned from signing in. Looking at the spiritual waters, spiritual fruits, and various powerful elixirs sold in the Xiuxian World on the system mall page, his mouth watered with envy, wishing he could buy them immediately as gifts for his adored grandfather! Unfortunately, the long string of zeros in the bid amounts for the Xiuxian World products was actually longer than his ID number from his previous life!
It's ridiculously expensive!
He deeply felt that if he only relied on signing in every day to save "blind box coins", he might not be able to buy a pill in the world of immortal cultivation until he died. It seemed that he could only rely on the opportunity of "blind box lottery" to hope that his luck would explode and he would get priceless things.
Thinking of this, Qin Ying's eyelids became heavier and heavier. He tried hard to open his eyes and caught a glimpse of the blind box lottery opportunity won in Zhangtai Palace that appeared on the floating light screen. There were only fifteen minutes left in the countdown.
[As long as I can hold on for another fifteen minutes, I can enter the blind box lottery. Hold on.]
Qin Ying was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting each other. She had just finished encouraging herself in her heart when she closed her eyes tightly the next moment. Her soft little belly covered with a thin quilt began to rise and fall regularly.
At the beginning of the hour of Hai, the night is dark and the moon is high in the sky.
The cold moonlight shone quietly onto the lacquer table in Zhangtai Palace through the half-open carved wooden window, casting a layer of water-like light on the large black lacquer table.
The majestic First Emperor, who wore a Tongtian crown and a black robe during the day, had just finished bathing and was now wearing an extremely loose black silk robe. He was kneeling beside the lacquer table, with his long, smooth, and moisture-laden black hair casually draped behind his head. Two palace maids were kneeling behind the First Emperor with soft handkerchiefs in their hands, carefully helping His Majesty dry his half-dry hair.
The candles placed on the golden lampstand next to the lacquer table swayed slightly, illuminating the large area of white and tight chest muscles exposed at the neckline of His Majesty with a layer of honey-colored light. Ying Zheng was holding a scroll of bamboo slips, and in the candlelight, he was carefully reading the documents presented by Li Si.
Now that the world was just beginning to settle down, the common people of the six states in the Kanto region had no idea of becoming "new Qin people" and had not yet emerged from the shadow of their panicked country's demise. Many nobles of the fallen country who had fallen into lower social status due to the destruction of their motherland simply hated the First Emperor to death. They all hid in the dark, secretly forming gangs and factions, attempting to rebel.
Ying Zheng knew very well that regional unification was only a preliminary unification. If he wanted the Qin Dynasty to last forever, he had to achieve "unification of the seven kingdoms" from an ideological level.
The seven vassal states had seven languages and seven scripts. When Qin's currency arrived in Han, it had to be exchanged for Korean currency. When Han people went to the neighboring Wei State, they had to exchange it for Wei currency again...
The units of volume commonly used in Qi were "dou, qu, fu, zhong", while those commonly used in Qin were "he, sheng, dou, hu"...
The weight of a jin in Zhao State is different from that in Yan State...
One foot in Chu is also different from one foot in Han...
The various vassal states used a variety of weights and measures, and the distances between wheels varied. If they followed the wheel tracks, the people of Zhao would have to get out of their cars and rent a new one in Wei as soon as they crossed the border, continuing along the deep ruts left on the Wei roads.
As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to keep it, and even more difficult to govern it.
Half a month ago, after careful consideration, the First Emperor decided to spend a lot of effort to establish unified standards for the chaotic and disordered writing, weights and measures, and currency in various parts of the world. Then, with Xianyang as the center, he unified the distance between wheels in various places and built several highways leading directly to the former sites of the Six Kingdoms.
He dared to make bold assumptions, and Li Si, who had been with him for more than 20 years and shared the same political ideas with him, dared to let his thoughts fly, expand his thinking, and actively implement the ideas according to His Majesty's ideas.
In just ten days, Li Si came up with a complete set of practical operational plans that could be put into practice based on the Emperor's wild and imaginative ideas of "unification".
Ying Zheng was extremely satisfied with his capable Si Qing. When he saw the words written on the top of the bamboo slips, Li Si proposed to use the "large seal" font currently used by Qin State as the basis to design another set of "small seal" fonts that could be used throughout the country; to use gold as the "upper currency" and the half-liang coins commonly used in Qin State as the "lower currency" to establish a unified monetary policy across the country to facilitate commodity exchange and economic development in various counties, and many other specific policies, his narrow and long phoenix eyes flashed with brilliance.
He picked up the brush on the pen holder and was about to dip it in cinnabar to write comments on the bamboo slips presented by Li Si, when suddenly a strong drowsiness like a landslide or tsunami came over him, making his clear consciousness a little blurred. He involuntarily closed his eyes and let his head drop down.
The next moment, a "hiss" sound of pain was heard on the scalp, and the emperor's originally confused consciousness suddenly became clearer.
