Since Li Che submitted the outline of the laws of Qin Dynasty to Qin Shihuang, the officials of the Supreme Court started to revise the laws of Qin Dynasty according to Li Che's idea. They deleted the torture and reduced the punishment and taxes.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Great Qin's craftsmen also made some paper. Although it was still quite rough, it could be written on, so Li Che boldly gave it to the officials of the Supreme Court.
These officials were already used to writing on bamboo slips. Usually, they could write a volume in an afternoon.
One day, the chief justice gave them a marvelous item called paper. He told them to write their words on it.
Thus, these officials tried to write on these papers.
However, their writing habits were still the same as writing bamboo slips, from top to bottom, from right to left. Although they had already written on paper, they still maintained the habit of writing bamboo slips. Why did they have to write from right to left, from top to bottom?
It was because the bamboo slips were rolled up. After unfolding the bamboo slips, he read them from top to bottom. After reading one slip, he continued to read the second slip.
"This…this…this…"
After an official wrote on the paper, he was shocked.
Writing on a piece of paper required a very fast movement of the brush. However, writing on a bamboo slip required extreme care. If one wrote off, the entire slip would be ruined.
However, writing on paper, even if it was too much, did not affect reading and writing.
Most importantly, it was light!
Each bamboo scroll weighed five taels of silver, and the words written on it were only a few dozen words. To complete a book, it would require at least ten bamboo scrolls, and they would weigh dozens of kilograms…
These things called paper were thin and light. After they were written into a book, they would probably be less than two taels!
The working speed of the Supreme Court had been improved. Previously, they could only write one roll of bamboo slips in one afternoon; now, they could write 13 - 14 rolls of bamboo slips in one afternoon. If they sped up, they could write 40 - 50 rolls of bamboo slips.
Because writing on paper had a lot less to worry about, the speed was greatly increased.
Li Che told the craftsmen to continue making paper. He did not treat them badly. He added a liter of millet to their daily meals. The craftsmen were grateful to Li Che and took the millet home to feed their wives and children.
Li Che looked at these poor craftsmen and swore to himself,""I, Li Che, will do my best for the ancestors of Huaxia! As long as I, Li Che, am here, I will make sure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing! I will make the entire Huaxia Country strong and rule the world!”
Li Che didn't hand these papers to people outside the Supreme Court because it was unnecessary. He just wanted to speed up his work so that his subordinates could complete the formulation of the laws of Qin Dynasty as soon as possible so as to reduce the heavy taxes of the commoners.
As long as his laws of Qin were promulgated as soon as possible, the people would become rich as soon as possible.
If he wrote it on a book, he didn't know how much time he would waste.
……
In the blink of an eye, another four days had passed.
On this day, when Li Che was working in the Supreme Court, he heard a rapid galloping sound.
"Report! Sir, the messenger Li Neng who went to Pei County has returned.”
Li Che stood up, his eyes shining brightly. He asked impatiently,""You've invited Xiao He!"
"They're here. Pei County's Xiao He will follow them.”
"Good! Alright, reward Li Neng with 20 buckets of corn!”
"Understood!"
After Li Neng received the reward, he was overjoyed.
Ten buckets of rice was a stone.
Twenty bushels of rice was two stones.
200g of rice was enough for a family of five to eat for half a year.
How could Li not thank him for receiving such a great reward?
……
Li Che walked out of the Supreme Court. There were many famous people in Great Qin, and Li Che liked Xiao He the most because Xiao He knew the law and was good at internal affairs. He could help Li Che repair the law.
The most important thing was that Xiao He was just a small county official. He had sent Xiao He to Xianyang to be an official, and Xiao He was loyal to him. As long as he used Xiao He well, he would have a lot less to do.
As Li Che walked out, he was also very curious about Xiao He's attributes. According to historical records, Xiao He was the most famous prime minister in China. In the five thousand years of history, Xiao He was one of the best. His prestige and historical records were far from what Li Si could compare to.
When Li Che arrived at the gate of the Supreme Court, he saw a group of travel-worn people. Besides his messenger, there was a tall and handsome middle-aged man who was about 35 or 36 years old…
One look at this person and one could tell that he had the aura of a ruler.
When they saw Li Che, they quickly kowtowed. Xiao He saw the extraordinary Li Che and followed suit.
Li Che smiled." Go inside and change your clothes. Eat something. Men!" Set up a banquet!"
Standing outside the Supreme Court, Xiao He felt flattered. On the way here, he had thought about many scenes such as how to greet the nine ministers, how to talk to them and what words he should say to win the appreciation of the supreme court.
Should he be tougher or more low-key?
Should he be more proud or humble?
From Pei County to Xianyang, Xiao He thought about these things every day.
In Xiao He's opinion, this meeting with the president of the supreme court was the most important opportunity in his life. He knew that he couldn't miss this opportunity. As he was already 36 years old, if he missed this opportunity, he might be mediocre for the rest of his life!
Chief justice!
The highest official Xiao He had ever seen in his first half of life was a county captain, who was in charge of a county.
Now, he actually met one of the nine ministers of the Great Qin Empire, the Chief Justice. The Chief Justice was the highest official of the Great Qin Empire, and he was the thirteen most powerful people in the Great Qin Empire.
Xiao He didn't dare to raise his head after paying his respects to Li Che.
At this moment, he did not kneel down, which was already considered extraordinary. If ordinary people saw the highest authority in charge of the country, how could they not kneel down?
Just as Xiao He was in a dilemma, a hand suddenly grabbed him.
Shocked both physically and mentally, Xiao He raised his head and found that it was a young man in a chief officer's hat.
Xiao He's heart was filled with shock.”
"Sir, I'm covered in dust…"
"It's fine! I asked you to come all the way from Pei County. You're travel-worn. It's really hard on you. Let's go take a shower and change. Our figures are about the same. I'll give you a new set of clothes that I haven't worn before.”
Xiao He had a very strange feeling. It was a very wonderful feeling. It was as if two long-lost friends were getting along without any estrangement.
Xiao He sighed.
"Lord justice is really approachable. After following Lord justice, I could finally display my ambition!”
When Xiao He looked up at Li Che, Xiao He's attributes were displayed in front of him. Li Che was overjoyed when he saw Xiao He's attributes!
Xiao He.
[Strength: 70]
[Stamina: 80]
Intelligence: 100
[Military strategy: 100]
Power play: 99.
[Special characteristics: Name (far-sighted and good at governing the country), good at strategy (good at using strategies), arbitrary (when acting independently, decisive.]）。
Li Che was overjoyed when he saw Xiao He's attributes.
Xiao He had two attributes that exceeded 100 at the same time, which was something that Great Qin's officials did not have.
In the entire Great Qin Empire, only Qin Shihuang's military strategy and political tactics were over 100, while Zhao Gao, Wang Ben, and Li Che's attributes were over 100. However, Xiao He's attributes were over 100 at the same time, which was far beyond the average person. Moreover, Xiao He had three attributes, which made him the best of the best.
As expected of a famous minister!
As expected of the leader of the three heroes of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He's attributes did not disappoint!
Right now, Xiao He was just a small official in the Qin Dynasty. If Xiao He wanted to enter the official career, he could only follow the path that Li Che had paved for him. Other than that, Xiao He had no other way out.
Following Li Che was Xiao He's only choice!
