The mighty Qin army entered Pei County, and the county officials all ran to the city gates to welcome them. After the Qin army entered the city, the county officials also followed.
When they arrived at the county office, the Pei County officials were already sweating profusely and panting heavily.
Zhang Han, who was riding on his warhorse with a spear in his hand, lowered his head to look at the officials and asked,""Who's the county captain?"
"This lowly one, this lowly one is the county officer of Zhongyang Li in Peifeng Yi.”
"Lord justice wants to work in the county government. Dismiss all the officers and have all the county officials wait outside the county government!”
"Aye, I obey!"
The Pei County officials and elders stood guard outside the county office, not daring to move. The Qin army's shining halberds had already frightened them to the point that their legs were trembling.
After Zhang Han arranged the defense, all the Qin soldiers guarded the road. Li Che's fleet entered Pei County. After arriving at the county government, Li Che settled all the 100-odd officials of the Supreme Court.
These civil officials of the Supreme Court had suffered a great crime. It was 1,800 miles from Xianyang to Pei County. On the way, they had to copy the laws of Qin Dynasty and issue them to the county yamen.
If Li Che didn't bring craftsmen to produce endless Xuan papers, these officials of Supreme Court couldn't copy and issue the laws of Qin Dynasty on such a large scale even if they had three heads and six arms.
Seeing how tired they were, Li Che thought to himself,""This time in Pei County, we have to make movable type printing work. Otherwise, it will consume a lot of manpower.
Many of the craftsmen in the State of Qin were experts in making seals. Making movable type printing was similar to making seals. They separated the words, arranged them according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, fixed them with wooden boards, brushed a layer of ink, and directly printed them.
It could be said that the difficulty of movable type printing was not even comparable to the difficulty of paper making…
……
Li Che entered the county office under the protection of Zhang Han and the Qin soldiers. The county officials gathered outside the office were blocked by the Qin soldiers, and they could only look at Li Che from afar.
When they saw that the chief justice in gorgeous clothes was a handsome young man, they were extremely shocked.
In their imagination, the chief justice was either a mighty middle-aged man or a respectable old man. However, they saw a graceful and noble young man…
Their previous thoughts were overturned like never before.
After Li Che got out of the car, another person got out. He was also dressed in gorgeous clothes. He wore a scholar's crown on his head and silk on his body.
In that instant, these officials felt that the person looked familiar, but they could not recall who he was.
All of a sudden, they recognized the second person who got out of the car!
Isn't that Xiao He?
Before Xiao He left for Xianyang, he was wearing a plain cloth. Although his clothes were not simple, they did not look like this kind of silk. Moreover, this silk should be a precious Shu brocade. The brocade was inlaid with gold threads, making it elegant and luxurious. Xiao He's clothes alone were priceless.
As expected, Xiao He had flown up to the treetops and become a phoenix.
Pei County's county officials watched Xiao He enter the county office, feeling extremely emotional.
These officials didn't know that Xiao He was wearing Li Che's clothes. When Xiao He came to the Supreme Court, Li Che found that Xiao He didn't have any clean clothes; therefore, he had his servants take out his clothes and gift them to Xiao He.
Of course, Li Che had never worn this set of clothes before.
After entering the yamen, Li Che settled down over 100 officials of the Supreme Court. He then watched Xiao He and said,""Go and see Furen and the old friends from the same hometown. It's my first time here, so they will inevitably panic. After resting for a night, we will announce the laws of Qin tomorrow.”
"Thank you, sir."
Xiao He left the county office. The beef and mutton prepared by Pei County had already been inspected by Zhang Han. After Zhang Han reported to Li Che, Li Che said,""Since this is the kind intentions of the elders of Pei County, then don't neglect everyone. Let's boil water and make some food for the soldiers. This time, we will stay in Pei County for a while longer.”
"Yes, sir."
Zhang Han left the government office. Inside and outside the government office, there were 5,000 Qin soldiers guarding day and night. These soldiers had already received a death order to be on guard against any strangers. If anyone tried to barge in, they would be killed without mercy!
Li Che's life was extremely precious. If anything happened to him, Qin Shihuang would kill all his soldiers and bury them with him.
In the county office, Li Che gathered the craftsmen and told them how to make printing.
These craftsmen immediately understood that printing was similar to seals. The only difference was that seals were single, while printing was a combination of single seals.
The craftsman immediately used local materials and dried pine wood that had been dried for half a year to make a single seal. According to the Qin law, he carved it word by word...
Li Che's Qin Law had a total of 5,831 words. A skilled craftsman could engrave 50 words in a day. Li Che had brought 300 craftsmen with him, and they could complete a set of Qin Law printing template in about an hour.
Li Che stayed in Pei County to make more templates. If he wanted to complete the order given by Emperor Qin Shihuang as soon as possible, he had to use movable type printing. Otherwise, over 100 officials of the Supreme Court couldn't complete the task even after Emperor Qin Shihuang passed away…
……
After Xiao He left the county office and reported to Zhang Han, he was allowed to go. Xiao He came to the county officer and the Pei County elders. The county officer and the Pei County elders bowed and said,""Greetings, Lord Xiao!"
"Aiya, old man, you're killing me.”
Xiao He quickly helped the county captain up. In the past, Xiao He was just a small official in the county. In front of the county captain, his position had completely changed.
Xiao He was already a big figure while the chief justice of the Supreme Court had become a trivial figure.
"Let's go. The president of the supreme court needs to take a rest. We will pay a visit to him tomorrow. I will catch up with you first. When the president of the supreme court summons us tomorrow, we will come back…"
"What's the matter? Will I offend the chief justice?"
Xiao He waved his hand and said," No, it's the order of the chief justice. Just follow it. Actually, don't be nervous. The chief justice is easy-going; however, these people are too strict. Some refugees from some prefectures and counties were shot dead on the spot when they got close to the armored soldiers. Don't approach the county government. Remember, remember, if you are captured by General Zhang Han, I will not say anything."”
After Xiao He said this, the county captain quickly said,"I've already asked the officials to warn the villagers that no one will trespass into the county office…"
"That's good, that's good."
Xiao He, the county officials, and the Pei County elders left the county office.
The county captain and the others told Xiao He about Madam Xiao. After Xiao He went to Xianyang, they didn't neglect Madam Xiao. Now Madam Xiao was waiting for Xiao He to return.
Xiao He chatted with the county captain and the others as they walked. Xiao He tied his horse to the county office and did not ride it out. He chatted with the county captain and the others as he walked.
"Where's Master Lu?"
