The gate of Xianyang City was opened. Qin army in bright armors entered Xianyang City. Zhang Han rode on a tall warhorse with a long halberd in his hand, guarding the carriage of the chief justice.
A few days ago, when they passed by Zhao, some refugees and bandits tried to get close to the convoy, but they were all surrounded and killed by Zhang Han. After these bandits were killed, Zhang Han found crossbows and sleeve arrows on them.
It was obvious that these people were not simple refugees and bandits. There was a mastermind behind them. Moreover, it was impossible for ordinary refugees and bandits to have weapons like crossbows and sleeve arrows.
Within Great Qin's borders, crossbow bolts and sleeve arrows were weapons that only the great clans could use, and they were strictly controlled.
Zhang Han didn't dare to let his guard down. Even after entering Xianyang City, Zhang Han's guard was still up.
Li Che's carriage entered the Li Residence. After the carriage stopped, Li Che jumped out of the carriage. He looked at the familiar courtyard and finally relaxed.
After nearly three months of turbulence, the Qin laws were finally completed.
"Who wants to kill me?"
When Li Che saw the crossbow bolts and sleeve arrows, he was shocked, especially when the arrowheads of the crossbow bolts and sleeve arrows were poisoned. Fortunately, Zhang Han had surrounded and killed these people and didn't let them get close to Li Che's carriage.
If an arrow hit the carriage and hit Li Che, he would definitely die…
Who wants to kill me?
Li Che had been trying to guess, but he couldn't. He had offended too many people when the Qin laws were announced.
Li Che had offended the conservative forces of the State of Qin. The nobles of the State of Qin wanted to kill Li Che because Li Che's new rule had taken their cake. The noble families of the State of Qi and the State of Chu also wanted to kill Li Che because Li Che had imposed laws in the State of Qi and the State of Chu, making the people of the State of Qi and the State of Chu feel humiliated.
Although Li Che couldn't guess who wanted to kill him, he was sure that his brother Li Si and Qin Shihuang were the least likely to kill him.
Although Qin Shihuang killed people like flies, he would not kill meritorious officials who helped him.
"Milord, I will go and report on my work.”
After Zhang Han sent Li Che back to his mansion, his mission was completed. He had to go to the Qin palace to report to Qin Shihuang.
"Thank you for escorting me all the way, General Zhang.”
"It is Zhang Han's honor to be able to travel with you.”
Zhang Han said goodbye to Li Che and headed straight to the Qin Palace.
After Zhang Han left, the officials of the Supreme Court also put the letters back into the Supreme Court. As the gate of the Supreme Court was opened, it was covered with dust. After 3 months, the Supreme Court looked a bit bleak.
The officials found bailiffs to clean up the Supreme Court. As the laws of the Qin Dynasty had been issued, they might not leave Xianyang anymore.
After completing the reorganization of the Supreme Court, the officials of the Supreme Court also returned home to visit their mothers and wives.
……
"Brother! You're finally back!"
Li Si pushed open the door and pulled Li Che into his arms when he saw him.
"Elder brother…"
"Let's go to my residence. We brothers can drink and talk.”
The prime minister's mansion was only two courtyards away from Li Che's Supreme Court. Li Che walked towards the prime minister's mansion hand in hand with over 10 Qin Jia's bodyguards on his side.
After entering the Prime Minister's residence, Li Si and Li Che entered the house. The door was closed, and the house was already filled with wine, vegetables, and meat.
"When you left, it was still midsummer. When you came back, it was almost winter.”Li Si said.
"Yes, it has been three months since I left Xianyang.”
After Li Che said that, Li Si boiled a pot of wine for Li Che and another for himself. He raised his glass and drank,""While you were gone, many things happened in Xianyang.”
"What is it?"
" Meng Tian has led 300,000 Qin troops to Zhao to fight the Xiongnu…"
"Are the Xiongnu invading from Zhao?"
" That's right. Every time the Xiongnu invades, they will attack from Zhao. Because there are endless grasslands outside Zhao, the Xiongnu are good at reporting. If they find that the situation is not good, they can retreat in time. There are many mountains in Qin, which is not conducive to retreat. Therefore, when the Xiongnu invades, they will definitely enter Zhao..."
Li Che's heart was heavy. Meng Tian had led 300,000 Qin troops to resist the Xiongnu. It was obvious that the Xiongnu were coming at them aggressively.
"What plans does the King of Qin have?" Li Che asked.
" The King of Qin intends to mobilize 500,000 civilian workers to build the Zhao Wall," Li Si replied." It will be connected to the Qinling Mountains. The Great Wall needs to be built, 520 li…"
Zhao Qiang…
There was another name for the Great Wall of Zhao that resisted the Xiongnu-Zhao Changcheng!
Li Che was silent for a moment.
The Xiongnu was a great threat to Qin and a thorn in Qin Shi Huang's heart. However, the Xiongnu's movements were strange and unpredictable. Even if Qin Shi Huang wanted to attack the grasslands, he did not dare to issue an edict.
Because in the war against the Xiongnu, China had always been on the defensive. Qin Shihuang was helpless against the Xiongnu who moved like the wind…
After Li Si finished talking about Meng Tian guarding the border, he looked at Li Che and smiled.""Elder brother has a whole new level of respect for you. After the Qin laws were promulgated, the taxes of the Qin country doubled within three months. Now, it has completely silenced the mouths of all the civil and military officials. When you go to court, just ask for a reward.”
Li Che had already expected this to happen when he heard Li Si's words. This was because the ability of businesses to generate income was far stronger than agricultural taxes. If the laws that he had set up were implemented, tax revenue would definitely increase.
Now that China's nine provinces had already enacted the Qin laws, it was time to establish the bank system. Once the bank system was established and perfected, the wealth of the aristocrats in the world would be in the hands of the emperor.
At that time, they would not have to worry about not having enough money to attack the Xiongnu.
Li Si and Li Che drank as they talked about the world.
As they chatted, Li Si changed the topic.""I heard that you married two beauties. I'm not angry that you didn't tell me about this, but when you go to court, you have to ask the King of Qin for an edict. Marquis Wu 'an's marriage is not a small matter.”
Li Che heard Li Si's words and cupped his fists.""Thank you for your generosity, brother."
"Although getting married is your own business, you have to tell me when you get married in the future. After all, my parents are no longer around.”
After Li Si said that, Li Che smiled and said,""If I get married in the future, I'll definitely tell you first.”
In the State of Qin, it was very normal to have many wives and concubines.
Li Che married the Lu sisters and gave them the title of concubines. They were not the main wife yet. The main wife of the nine ministers needed Qin Shihuang to marry her.
If one day, Lu Zhi could win Li Che's heart, then she would become Li Che's wife and not his concubine…
In order to reproduce, many aristocratic families would marry more than ten wives and concubines. Of course, there was also the reason for their beauty…
……
While Li Che and Li Si were drinking, Xianyang City was already in an uproar. The news of Li Che's return had already spread throughout the court, and all the officials were talking about him.
After Li Che changed the laws of Qin, his name became the talk of the officials of Qin Dynasty, especially those who were high officials in Xianyang. They were shocked and afraid of Li Che, especially when they heard that Li Che had killed Zhao Nian's family in Chu.
Because Li Che had a fake royal decree and the Tai'a sword, if he found a reason to kill them, they would have no place to complain. Li Che had the right to act first and report later. Even if he reported this to Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang would still side with Li Che.
Because the person who had handed the Taia Sword to Li Che was Qin Shihuang!
Prime Minister Li Si was already ruthless enough, but Li Che had surpassed him!
However, many people could tell that Qin Shi Huang was only borrowing Li Che's knife to kill the person he wanted to kill and do what he wanted to do. It was just that the person who killed him was not Qin Shi Huang.
