Li Che returned to Xianyang.
Lu Zhi and Lu Chi had already settled down in Li Che's residence. The originally empty backyard was bustling with activity. Lu Zhi and Lu Chi had brought a group of maids with them. After Lu Zhi and Lu Chi settled down, they began to tidy up the courtyard and decorate the house.
Xiao He had also settled his family in Xianyang City. This time, Li Che had gone to the land of Qi and Chu to issue laws and had found some talents, including Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and Cao Can.
Li Che had found these three people in Pei County. Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo were generals, while Cao Can was both civil and military.
Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo were now serving as the captains. If they wanted to be high-ranking officials, they had to make meritorious deeds. Cao Can and Xiao He had both served as county officials in the county government. Now, Cao Can had also entered the Supreme Court. Xiao He was responsible for arranging the affairs.
In Pei County, the only person Li Che felt was useful was Xiao He.
As for Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, Cao Can, and the others, they didn't have to get it!
After all, these people could be replaced. In Great Qin's Imperial Court, there were many people who were stronger than them in terms of martial strength and leadership.
Only Xiao He was a talent that Li Che needed. With Xiao He's help, Li Che would be able to save a lot of trouble.
This time, Xiao He was the one who was going to announce the laws in the Land of Qi and Chu. Li Che only needed to inspect the progress of the laws every day.
It would be a waste if he didn't capture such a talent!
……
After Li Che and Li Si finished their meal, Li Che sent Li Si out of the door. Li Si cupped his hands and said to Li Che,""Go back and rest early today. Tomorrow, you will pay your respects to the King of Qin. The King of Qin is still waiting for your report.”
After Li Che and Li Si chatted for a while outside the courtyard, Li Si left and Li Che returned to the manor.
"Is Furen used to living here?"
After Li Che entered the backyard, he saw Lu Zhi and Lu Chi moving things into the house.
Lu Zhi turned his head and smiled." Of course it's good to live here. This place is like a palace. It's simply magnificent…"
" It's far worse than the Chu and Qi royal palaces. I still prefer the Chu royal palace..." Lü Fu said.
Li Che heard Lu Meng's words and laughed,""How can my small mansion compare to the Chu and Qi royal palaces? Those two palaces have been built by generations of monarchs, so they are naturally majestic…"
"Have you eaten?"
"I just ate."
"Then let's go. I'll show you around Xianyang City.”
Li Che held Lu Zhi and Lu Chi's hands and the three of them left the mansion. Before night fell, the three of them walked onto the streets of Xianyang with more than ten armored soldiers following behind Li Che.
Xianyang City was the capital of the Qin State. Most of the wealthy nobles of the Qin State also lived in Xianyang City. There were peddlers on the streets. After Li Che's new law was announced, the people of the Qin State were all moved to tears.
Shang Yang's laws were too cruel. There were many criminal laws and severe criminal laws.
Li Che's new law greatly reduced the taxes and criminal laws of the people. It also eliminated many forms of torture, such as whaling, branding, car cracking, and waist chopping. They were all abolished, and the punishment of joint punishment was also abolished.
However, the severe punishment of exterminating three or nine clans was retained.
The extermination of three clans and nine clans was a deterrent to the law. It could be used, but it was not abandoned.
Other than the changes to the laws, Li Che also planned and restricted the business. Only when the business order was perfect enough could the bank system be established. This was what Qin Shihuang looked forward to the most.
Only when the bank system was established would he be able to truly control the aristocrats of Qin.
……
Under the protection of the soldiers, Li Che brought his wife to play. Lu Zhi and Lu Wei were pleasantly surprised. They were very curious about everything in Xianyang City. Xianyang City was very different from the cities of Chu.
They found that Xianyang had no city walls.
The capital of Chu had extremely tall walls.
They asked Li Che curiously.
" The King of Qin once said that if the Six Nations had already reached Xianyang, would that small city wall be able to stop the Six Nations 'armies?" Li Che laughed. My capital city of Great Qin doesn't need city walls because no one can attack Xianyang City!”
" Xianyang City doesn't have a city wall, and the roads extend in all directions..."
……
Li Che accompanied his wife until nightfall before returning to the mansion.
On the bed, Lü Fu still looked very shy. However, she was also more shy than Lü Zhi. This night, she often stayed up all night looking at Li Che.
The next day.
The sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear!
After Li Che got up, the two beauties woke up as well. Li Che pulled the blanket over them and said,""I've tormented you all for half the night yesterday. You should rest well too.”
If it weren't for the fact that they were accompanying Li Che, the two sisters would have woken up early. However, with such a man by their side, they slept soundly until Li Che woke up.
This was her husband's home, and they didn't want to disturb his sweet dreams.
Li Che changed into the official robe of the nine ministers and drove to Xianyang Palace with the Tai'a Sword at his waist!
Outside Xianyang Palace, many Qin Dynasty officials gathered.
When Li Che's carriage arrived outside the palace gate, many officials gathered in front of it and cupped their hands to greet him.
As minor officials of the Supreme Court, Xiao He and Cao Can were not qualified to enter Xianyang Palace. When Li Che entered Xianyang Palace, they were dealing with important files in the Supreme Court.
In any dynasty, the people who fawned over the powerful occupied the majority of the court.
Li Che cupped his fists at his colleagues.
Soon, Li Si's carriage arrived, and many officials went to pay their respects to Prime Minister Li. In the court, Li Si's reputation was far greater than Li Che's. After all, Li Si had been the Prime Minister for more than ten years and had accumulated a lot of prestige.
Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Yi, and the other generals were among the officials. Although the Wang and Meng families were not close to Li Che, they were the ones who had contributed the most to Li Che's efforts in repairing the law.
When Li Che went to Qi Chu to announce the new laws, the Xiongnu in the north invaded Zhao. Meng Tian led 300,000 troops to defend the border.
……
"Lord, please understand the sword."
Outside Xianyang Palace, Qin Wei took the Tai'a sword from Li Che. When the King of Qin bestowed the sword, Li Che could wear it in court because it was a gift from the King of Qin. Usually, when he entered the palace, he had to hand over the sword to his personal guard. No one was allowed to wear sharp weapons in court.
When Li Che entered the palace, Qin Shihuang was already in a hurry.
"Greetings, First Emperor…"
"Everyone, please excuse me!"
Qin Shihuang saw the few people who were the leaders of the officials. The position of the nine ministers was always vacant. Today, he finally saw Li Che sitting there. Qin Shihuang was very excited.
When he saw Li Che, it was as if he saw the hope of conquering the world's aristocrats...
