    Qin Yiren stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. He only saw a tired look on his face! Then, his hair appeared on his temples. He couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. He sighed: "People say that when an emperor is majestic from all sides, he will be powerful in the world.  , controlling people¡¯s life and death, but they don¡¯t know how hard it is to be an emperor.¡±

    "You have the nerve to say that, how can a king like you not even have time to sleep and eat." Zhao Ji was quite dissatisfied and scolded.

    "I am diligent in government and love the people. If the king of Shandong is like that, wouldn't I destroy them all?" Qin Yi raised his head and chest, feeling quite proud.

    "Looking at you like this, you are diligent and caring for the people, but you have exhausted yourself. It's really heartbreaking." Meng Yi also came to complain.

    Mengyi has a gentle temperament. She has never said a word of anger since she followed Qin Yiren. Today is the first time that she has ever done anything. In fact, in the more than a year since he unified the world, Qin Yiren has been extremely busy.  , there is no time to even eat or sleep.

    "So do you. You can't be exhausted even if you work diligently and love the people? If you are exhausted, how can you still be diligent and love the people?" Mrs. Qing was also dissatisfied.

    Mrs. Qing is a strong woman and the largest businessman in the world. She appreciates hard work, and today she cannot help but complain about Qin Yiren.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out by Qin Yiren, and after more than a year, Qin Yiren was so tired that his hair turned white on his temples, who would not feel distressed?

    "You women, I can't talk to you anymore." Qin Yiren didn't want to be blamed by them, so he said a word and left quickly.

    He hurried to the study room and saw that Fan Sui, Wei Liao, Huang Shigong, Li Si, Han Fei, Fan Zeng, Wang Wan, Meng Wu and other important officials were waiting for him.

    When Qin Yiren took a look, they all had rabbit eyes and looked tired.

    "Hey. Really, how can you not rest? If I am exhausted, who will help me?" Qin Yiren complained, as if he wanted to take out the complaints he just received from Zhao Ji and the others on Fan Sui and the others.  of.

    "Your Majesty, you still talk about ministers, but you don't even look at yourself. You are almost like us, with red eyes." Fan Sui said with a smile.

    The monarch and his ministers looked at each other, and what caught their eyes was the tired face and red eyes of the other person. He was really the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother. His nose was not to mention his eye sockets.

    "Sit down, everyone." Qin Yiren asked them to sit down and asked, "What's going on today?"

    "Your Majesty, the general has captured Guilin and set up the Guilin camp. Shi Lu is already building the canal. There is hope for Lingnan to be pacified." When mentioning state affairs, Fan Sui's face became solemn.

    "Okay!" Qin Yiren nodded heavily and was very happy.

    Once the Lingqu Canal is built, the land of Lingnan will be pacified, and China will be complete.

    "Also, General Li Mu has defeated Donghu and killed 300,000 Donghu people. Liaodong was shocked and all the ministries asked for surrender. Among them, there are also old acquaintances of His Majesty." Fan Sui continued to report.

    "My old acquaintance? Who is it?" Qin Yiren was a little surprised.

    "Shan Rong is back." Fan Sui said.

    "He." Of course Qin Yiren remembered this Shanrongfu.

    Shan Rongfu is the prince of Donghu Shanrong tribe. He once participated in the wood-raising ceremony and entered the top ten, which left a deep impression on Qin Yiren.

    "This Shanrong Fu is also knowledgeable and aware of His Majesty's power. However, he did not participate in the battle of Donghu. He did not dare to be the enemy of Da Qin and asked to surrender voluntarily." Huang Shigong said with a smile on his face: "According to General Li Mu  The military report said that as soon as they met, he said that he was so intimidated by His Majesty's power that he dared not surrender."

    "He was frightened by the battle in Liaodong, right?" Qin Yiren chuckled.

    "This is certain. Of course His Majesty Tianwei is also the reason why he dare not surrender." Wei Liao said with a smile.

    "Liaodong is pacified, and we are one step closer to defeating the Xiongnu." Qin Yiren was very pleased and said: "It only takes a while for the world to stabilize, and then we can use troops against the Xiongnu."

    If you want to completely solve the Xiongnu problem, you must chase them to Mobei.  If you want to catch up to Mobei, you must send troops from two directions.  If you want to send troops in two directions, you must first deal with Donghu. You can't let Donghu disturb the northern frontier of China and attack the Qin army's supply line while the Qin army invades Mobei.

    Now that Liaodong has been pacified and Donghu has been defeated, the Qin Dynasty has no worries. It only needs the world to be stable before it can use its troops.  Once the Huns are completely eliminated, there will be no border troubles in northern Xinjiang. It can be said that the surrounding areas are peaceful and full development can be achieved.

    By then, the Qin Dynasty will surely develop a glorious history.

    "Your Majesty, there are two more things that need to be done immediately." Fan Sui raised his eyebrows.

    "Say." Qin Yiren was extremely concise.

    ¡°First, Xianyang is too small and far from being able to meet the needs of unification.Due to the sharp increase in the number of people after the epidemic, it was necessary to expand quickly.  "Fan Sui said.

    Xianyang is the capital of the Qin State. It was built by Shang Yang and has been in existence for hundreds of years.  In the past, Qin was just one of the seven war states, and Xianyang was completely adequate.  Now, the world has been unified, and Xianyang has become the only political center in the world. There are countless officials who come to Xianyang, countless merchants who come to Xianyang, and countless celebrities and scholars who come to Xianyang In this way  , Xianyang is overcrowded and not enough, so it must be expanded.

    "You have to spend money again." Qin Yiren stroked his forehead and said with some distress: "The world has just settled down, and there are many places where money is needed."

    Although Qin is rich, there are many places where money is needed.  Moreover, the land of Shandong has been initially determined. If we want to use its power, it is not the time yet. It will take several years and we have to wait for it to be managed.  Today, the Qin Dynasty's finances are mainly supported by the original Qin land.  !Your Majesty, I can¡¯t do it without spending money.  "Fan Sui is also distressed.!

    Xianyang is overcrowded. If Xianyang City is not expanded, something will happen. It is indeed impossible without spending money. Qin Yiren said: "Then expand it. What about the second one?"

    "Your Majesty, the second thing is that there are not enough official offices, so we must build them quickly." Fan Sui raised his eyebrows and said with emotion: "After the unification of the world, the population of this land and city has increased dramatically, and the number of officials has also increased dramatically.  Nowadays, the number of officials in Xianyang on official business has increased several times. They have no place to do business. Some of them stay in inns to do official business, and some stay in the homes of common people. First, it is inconvenient, and second, it is easy to leak secrets."

    The official office, equivalent to the current office, is where officials handle official business.

    After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the population of the land and cities of the Qin Dynasty increased sharply. Correspondingly, the number of officials also had to increase, otherwise, it would be too late to handle government affairs.  As a result, it is inevitable that the official offices in Xianyang will not be enough.

    ¡°There is no official office for officials to go on business, and the second most feared thing is leakage of secrets.  Things must be kept secret, and important confidential matters must not be leaked. This is a compulsory practice for the official office.

    "Okay, repair it." Qin Yiren really didn't want to have to repair the official office when he was in urgent need of money.

    "Your Majesty, I have already ordered the workers to arrange and survey, and it can be repaired in Longshou." Fan Sui is very talented and can do everything well.

    "Longshouyuan? Isn't that the ruins of Afang Palace?" Qin Yiren was quite surprised.

    "Your Majesty, this is a picture drawn by the work team. Please take a look at it." Fan Sui prepared very carefully. With a wave of his hand, several servants carried a large picture and unfolded it in front of Qin Yiren.

    Qin Yiren took a look and saw that the palace painted in such a big picture occupies a huge area and is divided into three halls: front, middle and back.

    "This is too big." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows.

    "Your Majesty, I have calculated, otherwise it would not be enough." Fan Sui pointed to the front hall on the map and said: "This front hall is used for the Great Court Meeting. The last Great Court Meeting, Da Qin's current court hall is not enough  After using it, there are still three to two thousand people who failed to attend the court meeting. Even so, the court meeting was also packed with people. If we encounter similar court meetings in the future, we can't do this kind of thing again, right?"

    There were too many people at the last court meeting and the court hall was not enough. It was packed to the brim. This was impressive.  The Qin Dynasty really needed a large court palace.

    Like last time, it¡¯s okay to be crowded once, twice, but three or five times is a bit inappropriate.

    It would be even more inappropriate to do it more often. Qin Chao really needs a large palace.

    "The middle palace serves as an official office. I have calculated and left a 10% surplus to prepare for emergencies." Fan Sui's eyes were very far-reaching and said: "After the Baiyue is pacified and the Xiongnu are defeated, there will be more officials, and there will be more officials left.  The next 10% surplus is already the lowest.¡±

    After the Qin Dynasty unified China, it had to deal with more chronic abuses than any other dynasty in Chinese history. Much more, because most of the things it faced were chronic abuses, and it required a lot of officials.  If Baiyue is pacified and the Huns are defeated, the number of officials will inevitably increase. It is appropriate to reserve some official offices.

    "The back hall is used to store memorials and official bamboo slips." Fan Sui explained.

    At that time, a large number of bamboo slips were used, which was too troublesome.  The capacity of the bamboo slips is too small and takes up a lot of space, which requires a giant warehouse to meet the needs.

    "Well, there is no need to modify the front hall and the middle palace, but the back hall needs to be modified." Qin Yiren muttered: "The paper has almost been developed, and it will be ready for use in a short time. It will be used in the government first.  Well, this requires a much smaller warehouse."

    "Seriously?" Who doesn't know the benefits of paper?  If you really want to use a lot of paper, it will be much more convenient. Fan Sui is looking forward to it.

    "It's absolutely true." Qin Yiren was full of confidence.

    Since the papermaking technology was handed over to Mrs. Qing, after so many years of research?, practical paper can already be produced, but the output cannot keep up.  I believe that this problem will be solved in a short time.

    "That's good, that's good." Fan Sui and the others were overjoyed.

    "Your Majesty, this official office must have a name. What should it be called?" Meng Wu asked hurriedly.

    "Yeah." Qin Yiren frowned and pondered.

    "Your Majesty, why don't we call it Afang Palace." Meng Wu said hurriedly.

    "Efang Palace?" When Qin Yiren heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

    Afang Palace is one of the symbols of the Qin Dynasty¡¯s brutality and exorbitant expropriation. It is one of the most popular places for future generations. Countless people are scolding the Qin Dynasty and Qin Shihuang because of Afang Palace.

    Du Mu even wrote "Ode to Afang Palace", scolding Qin Shihuang for being extremely extravagant and extravagant, and scolding Qin Shihuang to a complete extent.

    In fact, the construction of Afang Palace by Qin Shihuang was not an act of arrogance and extravagance as later generations scolded, but was used for office purposes.  Because the territory of the Qin Dynasty expanded and official duties increased, the original official offices were no longer sufficient and had to be repaired.

    Epang Palace is indeed the largest palace complex in human history, but it is not like the rumor of later generations that a fire will not go out for three months.  How big is a fire that burns for three months?  Can a super city with a population of one million burn for three months?  Obviously impossible.

    This is just a curse word used by later generations to slander Qin Shihuang.

    "Let's just call Afang Palace Afang Palace." Qin Yiren thought for a while and decided that this new palace would be called Afang Palace.
