Mr. Li's Ambition for the Future
In the afternoon, in the main hall of Ganquan Palace.
Jiang Li, with disheveled hair, was holding the powerless Lady Zhao. The two had been together for hours since the end of the court assembly.
It wasn't that Mister Li was being ridiculous, but that Lady Zhao didn't want him to leave. There was nothing he could do. After all, he had just been promoted to the rank of Marquis today, so he had no choice but to agree to Empress Dowager Ji's request.
At this moment, Lady Zhao was holding a crystal plate with a bunch of grapes on it. She was picking the thumb-sized black grapes one by one and sending them to Jiang Li's mouth. She looked as if she had to finish them all.
Jiang Li covered his mouth after eating about half a bunch of grapes. He smiled bitterly." Empress Dowager, can you eat it yourself? Mr. Li really can't eat anymore."”
"Take your hands off me." Zhao Ji signaled with her eyes, and the black grape between her two slender fingers reached Jiang Mou's side.
Seeing the look in Mistress Zhao's eyes, Jiang Li had no choice but to put down his hand and become a tool for others to manipulate. He mechanically ate the black grapes that Sister Ji kept sending over.
About fifteen minutes later, the last black grape was destroyed by Jiang Li. Lady Zhao picked up her handkerchief again and wiped the corner of his mouth.
" We can't go on like this. The Empress Dowager is so clingy and her free time is occupied. Won't Mr. Li's beautiful dream be shattered…"
Jiang Li stole a few glances at Lady Zhao and thought of a foolproof plan.
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't find a good solution. He would think about it in the future. After all, the only person who could sleep with her was Empress Dowager Ji. There were no other newcomers.
" Newbie…" Jiang Li suddenly frowned. Concubine Yan's figure appeared in his mind.
The day before yesterday, he had used the excuse of being drunk to hug and kiss Lady Yan for a few minutes. It seemed like he should strike while the iron was hot and achieve his wish of kissing her first before loving her hand in hand.
However, it didn't seem realistic. He and Zhao Ji got on the bus first and then bought the tickets. It was completely a coincidence that they were cheated by their cheap uncle.
Whoosh!
A figure approached. Lady Zhao reached out and grabbed Jiang Li's ears. She pinched them hard and raised her eyebrows."Do you still have BenGong in your eyes? You actually dare to be distracted in front of BenGong.”
"What eyes? Mr. Li only wants to live in your heart."
Jiang Li was extremely fast. His face was like a pangolin's. He quickly arrived at his destination, looking for a warm heart.
"What are you doing? Be honest and don't blindly bow.”
Lady Zhao punched Jiang Li hard. Seeing that it was ineffective, she laughed and said,""How old are you? You're not a child. Don't tell me you still want me to feed you…"
When she was about to speak, Zhao Ji stopped and couldn't continue.
The dog in front of her was thick-skinned and shameless. He even pretended to be a gentleman. Everyone in the world had been deceived by Mr. Li. Only she knew Mr. Li's true colors.
After searching for Sister Ji's warm heart, Jiang Li raised his head and regained his composure. He stretched himself and said,""My fief is in Taiyuan County, with seven cities. I plan to go to Taiyuan County tomorrow for a stroll, which will take about seven days.”
"Go early and return early. If I don't see you in seven days, BenGong will strip you of your title.”Zhao Ji took out her identity as the Empress Dowager and threatened her unhappily.
The dog had just been conferred the title of Marquis, and his fief was in Taiyuan County. It would be unreasonable if he did not go over and take a look.
Taiyuan County was a small county with only seven small counties. It did not have a large population. The entire land was seized from Zhao, and more than 90% of the people were from Zhao.
Now that the dog had become the Marquis of Changxin, he had the right to rule and govern the seven counties of Taiyuan Prefecture. This was a great thing for the people of Taiyuan Prefecture. The dog did not love money and would not exploit the people. This caused the people of Taiyuan Prefecture to complain.
Of course, the Qin Kingdom was different from the Six Eastern Kingdoms. The Qin Kingdom ruled the country according to the law. If a marquis with a fief bullied his fellow countrymen in his fief, once he was impeached by the Imperial Censor of the County City and the Magistrate of the County City, the Qin Kingdom would immediately strip him of his title, strip him of his property, and demote him to a commoner.
Looking sideways at the unhappy Concubine Zhao, Mister Li felt a headache coming on. It was not a month, only seven days. Sister Ji was too clingy.
Jiang Li had no choice but to put his arms around the unhappy Zhao Ji. He held her hand and interlocked their fingers. He explained softly,""The seven cities of Shiyi are equivalent to the entire Taiyuan Prefecture. I went over to take a look mainly because I wanted to tell the county governor and magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture that Marquis Changxin no longer wants his Shiyi. Marquis Changxin is not interested in the food and property handed over by the commoners and wants the commoners to keep it for themselves.”
"You don't want food?"
Concubine Zhao was stunned for a moment before she threw herself into Jiang Li's arms and laughed.""Sometimes you're so bad, sometimes you're so good. Are you a monster? Both good and evil?"
Jiang Li cupped Lady Zhao's face and gazed at her affectionately.""What's wrong? The Empress Dowager didn't like this Mr. Li?”
Concubine Zhao nodded, her eyes shining brightly as she called out softly,""Husband…I love you.
"Oh?"
Jiang Li whispered into Lady Zhao's ear,""Aunty Ji, what kind of love do you mean by love? Mr. Li doesn't quite understand.”
"What do you want?"
Zhao Ji rolled her eyes at him and waited for his instructions.
"Nothing much." " Mr. Li," Jiang Li said solemnly, his face full of righteousness," you must learn to restrain yourself. You must take good care of your body. Otherwise, how can you serve the Empress Dowager in the future?"”
"Bah!"
Zhao Ji spat on his face and turned her head proudly. She pulled the golden silk blanket over and prepared to catch up on her sleepiness. Last night was too ridiculous, and today, after the court meeting, she had been ridiculous for several hours. She was a little sleepy now.
Jiang Li wiped the saliva off his face and looked at Lady Zhao. His head hurt. He wanted to run away, but Lady Zhao wouldn't allow it.
Helpless, he could only turn into a pillow to sleep with.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
The next morning, seven figures rode out of Xianyang City and headed straight for Taiyuan County.
These seven people were Jiang Li and the Six Sword Slaves.
It was too slow to take a carriage. Jiang Li wanted to go and return quickly, so he just went over to take a walk and meet them.
Even though his fief was in Taiyuan Prefecture, he did not take it seriously. In the future, Great Qin would be using the system of prefectures and counties instead of enfeoffment. The land would belong to the country, and there would be no independent Kingdom.
As a modern man, Jiang Li felt that he should do something for this era.
The other races had to be eliminated. The Xiongnu, Donghu, Yue, Qiang, Wusun, Yufu, and so on, none of them could escape, and there would be no future troubles.
The world of law and the enlightenment of Confucianism had to be carried out. The current Confucianism was not the future emasculated version of Confucianism. They were two different concepts.
The interests of the aristocrats had to be cut, and the interests of the commoners had to be protected.
Education needed to be popularized, and the ladder of advancement needed to be extended to all classes. The aristocrats could not monopolize it, and the commoners needed to have the opportunity to change their fate.
Food production had to be increased, and potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn had to be sent back from overseas.
After these things were completed, he would rest for ten years and start expanding outward. The Gongshu family and the Mohist family's mechanism techniques should be used to promote social progress, such as researching steam engines, textile machines, cannons, breechbarrels, ironclads, and so on.
At that time, he would use technology to crush the Peacock Dynasty, the Roman Empire, the Seljuk Kingdom, the Ptolemy Kingdom, the Parthia Empire, the Macedon Kingdom, the Carthage Kingdom, and so on.
However, there was a prerequisite for all of this, and that was that Mr. Li and the Ancestral Dragon could get along well and pass down a good story between the monarch and his subjects.
Mr. Li was not interested in rebelling as the emperor. It was too tiring.
In this era, being an official was very good. As long as one had the reputation and ability, one could retire and return to their hometown to rest if they didn't want to do it. After resting enough, they would still be put in an important position when they came out of retirement.
