The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

Chapter 128 Everyone reacts

"Oh! It's really going to rain! The clouds are getting darker and bigger."

"Oh! The clothes at home haven't been collected yet."

"It's really raining! I'm drying the rice!"

The people hurried back home to collect their things.

"It's going to rain, hurry up and collect the clothes, and put away the vegetables from someone's house!"

Fusu kept staring at the clouds, and then lightning began to flash in the dark clouds.

"Crack! Boom..."

The heavy rain came soon. Gongshu Yuan took an umbrella to cover him and Qin Xingfu. Qi Le hurriedly held an umbrella for Fusu. Other officials also held umbrellas with smiles on their faces.

"Great! Now the drought in Liaodong won't be a problem anymore!"

"God bless the Qin!"

Many people thought that the earthquake might be a punishment from God, and then there was a drought. Someone suggested to Fusu that he should offer sacrifices to God, but he didn't expect that it would be so easy to make it rain.

"Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!"

"Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!"

Qin Xingfu saw the rain coming and leaned on Gongshu Yuan's shoulder.

"Very good, you've worked hard! You need to hurry to Liaodong."

"it is good!"

When Fusu turned around and saw the affectionate scene, he felt a little sad and quickly looked away.

Gongshu Yuan glanced at him and held her tighter in his arms.

Qin Xingfu patted his hand and signaled him to let go, as she wanted to get down to business. Gongshu Yuan reluctantly let go.

"Sir, this experiment looks good. We can send people to Liaodong for disaster relief."

"Well, Prime Minister Qin is right. Let Gongshu Yuan be in charge of Liaodong affairs! Xiahou Mei, take your people and go to Liaodong with Gongshu Yuan."

Fusu agreed, and everyone else had seen it with their own eyes and had nothing to say.

Xiahou Gui stepped out to pay his respects.

"Here!"

"Master Gongshu, your subordinate Liu Hui, may I take a look at this?"

A minor official plucked up the courage to look at the result of Qin Xingfu's calculation in Gongshu Yuan's hand. Gongshu Yuan thought it was nothing and showed it to him.

Liu Hui took the results to his colleagues, but they were scratching their heads and couldn't understand what he was saying.

"We don't understand this, why don't we ask Prime Minister Qin?"

Another minor official was Yang Xian. He and Liu Hui were both talented in mathematics and were now under the jurisdiction of the Taibu Ling.

"Your Excellency is very busy..."

Liu Hui was a little timid. Although many people said that Prime Minister Qin was easy to get along with, he was very timid. It took a lot of courage for him to get the paper just now.

"Then let's go together, otherwise when the adults go back, there will be even fewer opportunities."

Yang Xian pulled him. Two people are always braver than one person. They encouraged each other and walked to Qin Xingfu.

"Greetings, Young Master, Prime Minister Qin!"

Fusu thought they had something to report, so he asked them.

"What's the matter?"

The two men saluted Fusu and looked at Qin Xingfu.

"You're looking for me?"

"Yes... your humble servant would like to..."

Liu Hui was so stammering that he couldn't speak, so Yang Xian stepped forward and knelt down to greet him.

"Sir, we also want to learn your calculations and would like to become your disciples."

Liu Hui was dumbfounded. Wasn't he asking for advice? How did he become her disciple? But thinking that it might be her secret, he knelt down as well.

"Uh... that's not the case. You two can ask questions if you have any. Come on! I remember that you two are good at calculations. Is there anything you don't understand here?"

The two stood up and said with the papers in their hands.

"Hey, we haven't seen these symbols before, but they look simpler than Xiaozhuan."

Fusu looked at the paper. He had seen some of the words before. What Qin Xingfu called were Arabic numerals, but they were not popularized or used.

Ying Gu and the others had seen it before, and Qin Xingfu had also taught them, but they were already used to using small seal script and couldn't change.

Qin Xingfu pondered for a moment. This was indeed not very convenient. The court officials were still used to using small seal characters. Should Arabic numerals be used? After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to set up an academy of sciences. He would have to teach them when the time came.

"These are Arabic numerals, which can be used for quick calculations. In addition to mathematics, this piece of paper also contains some knowledge about physics and meteorology..."

The experiment was successful and she was in a good mood, so she started to explain it to them on the spot. Originally there were only two or three people, but more and more people came out of curiosity, and they all gathered together to listen regardless of whether it was raining or not. This was a rare opportunity.

I don't know how long I stood there. I spoke more and more, and people asked a variety of questions. Gongshu Yuan was there to help answer them.

Fusu suddenly felt relieved. They were really a perfect match. That vivid and lively look was her truest appearance.

"Qile, have someone arrange the meal. I think they'll talk for a long time today."

"Here!"

Leaving Qile behind, Fusu returned to Zhangtai Palace to handle government affairs. He recalled his father's teachings and combined them with what Qin Xingfu had said. Then he re-examined the current situation and decided to start handling government affairs in his own way.

He looked through the reports from the three counties of Bashu and Qian, and then looked at the several construction drawings that had been selected. The situations in different places were different, so he selected three and had them sent to Chai Wu and others, asking them to choose based on the actual situation.

Today's artificial rainfall experiment was successful, so we need to arrange for people to go to Liaodong County immediately.

"come here!"

Fusu saw that Qile was not there, only a temple attendant was standing nearby.

"My humble servant Shunan greets you, sir."

"Well, send them down separately, and bring me some food."

"Here!"

After getting up early and working for so long, he was already hungry.

Shun'an bowed and immediately made arrangements. He couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, the young master was so generous. He should have deserved to die for forgetting to arrange meals.

In the past, Qi Le was responsible for the arrangements, but now that he is not here, I have to go by myself. Fortunately, I usually take him with me wherever I go, so he is relatively familiar with the route.

After sending the summons, when Shun'an came back, Fusu had already finished his meal. After taking a look at the leftovers, he roughly knew what the young master liked. He quickly made tea for him and put it aside. Then he quietly accompanied Fusu.

Chai Wu received the drawings sent by Fusu, but he didn't quite understand them, so he found a disciple of the Mohist school. They were easy to identify because they all had a Mohist pattern on their cuffs. Now many schools have their own exclusive patterns.

"Come on, what's your name?"

"Master Chai, this is Chu Ding!"

Chu Ding is now an adult. He is no longer the little kid who only cares about food. He is a member of the Ministry of Works.

"Well, you are from the Mohist school. Come, take a look at this. The young master said to choose the blueprints to build a house according to the actual situation. Which of these three do you think is the most suitable?"

Chu Ding saluted, took the blueprint and took a look at it. There were a lot of stones here, so he chose another building that was more in line with the local conditions.

"Sir, this is more in line with the local situation. This person named Qin Shuang is quite interesting. Judging from the name, he has some connection with our Mohist School."

When Chu Ding listened to his master talking about the history of Mohism, he had heard of such a person named Qin Huali, but later he disappeared for some unknown reason. Some said he was dead, while others said he changed his name and changed his surname.

"Why bother? As long as it works, it's fine. Let's do it this way. We need to quickly build up the disaster area."

"Here!"

The three adopted drawings were drawn by three people, one of whom was Qin Shuang, and the other two were Song Tu and Cao Ding. The newspapers quickly published the drawings of the three and sent the rewards to their locations.

"Mr. Cao, can you please do your job properly? What's the point of studying these things every day? I told you to study hard and learn to read and take the Mohist exam, but you didn't go. I am a woman who has to support the family and take care of the children. Are you trying to kill me?"

Cao Ding was scolded by his wife-in-law, and the neighbors were used to it. Cao Ding was a fool who could not read or write. He even had to ask others to write his own name for him, but he could draw. However, most of his drawings were bridges and houses. His wife tried every means to force him to take the Mohist examination, but to no avail.

"Speak up! Don't play dumb. You're like this every time we quarrel. Do you believe I will divorce you?"

Cao Ding's wife Ximen Qing was really mad to death. This guy was like a piece of wood. He got mad every time they quarreled, but he just stood there indifferent.

Cao Ding didn’t know why he couldn’t read, and he was very miserable. If it weren’t for his children, he really wanted to die.

"Mother, mother!"

Cao Ding's ten-year-old son, Cao Shuo, pushed the door open and saw his parents like this. He was used to it and told his family excitedly.

"Mom, Dad is not useless. Look, this is today's newspaper. Dad's design has been adopted. Our family will be rich soon!"

Ximen Qing snatched the newspaper and when she saw her husband's name written there, she suddenly broke down and cried.

"Oh my god! God has really opened his eyes. Our good days are coming soon!"

She cried and laughed while beating Cao Ding. Cao Ding was already dumbfounded at this moment. Did he really have a future? He took the newspaper and read it over and over again. He didn't recognize any of the words on it, but he was very familiar with the drawings, which were drawn by him.

"Son, read to your father, what is written here?"

Cao Shuo looked around at the neighbors who were watching the excitement, then straightened his back, picked up the newspaper and read aloud.

"Notice! Ba, Shu, and Qian have suffered house damage due to natural disasters. We are seeking advice from people with lofty ideals all over the world on how to rebuild houses. Many people have submitted their ideas. Among them, the drawings drawn by Qin Shuang, Song Yu, and Cao Ding meet the requirements..."

Cao Shuo deliberately emphasized his father's name. When Cao Ding heard the name, he straightened his spine that had been bent for many years. He was not a useless person. So what if he couldn't read? There were people in this world who understood him.

After Cao Shuo finished reading, Cao Ding kowtowed towards the direction of Xianyang.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Prime Minister! I, Cao Ding, am not a useless person. Madam, I am sorry that you have suffered all these years!"

Ximen Qing's years of grievances were finally released. The couple hugged each other and cried bitterly, and Cao Shuo also burst into tears beside them.

"Oh my God! Really? I heard that you have 100,000 yuan. The Cao Ding family is rich!"

The neighbors were all talking about it.

"Where is Cao Ding?"

The prefect of Lujiang, Sun Lei, came in person. When Cao Ding heard about it, he hurried out. When he saw the prefect, his legs went weak.

"Little...little Cao Ding, nice to meet...meet the master!"

"No need to be so polite. This is the reward for your design drawings. In addition, this county governor will also reward you with a house. Would you like to go and take a look?"

Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, looking at the thick money and the house, many people's eyes became red, how good it would be for them!

Especially Zhu Da who lives next door to Cao Ding, he has always looked down on their family. Now they have everything at once, and the county magistrate personally comes to their house to give them bonuses and houses. It is so enviable.

Cao Ding was completely dumbfounded at this moment, and didn't know how to react, so Ximen Qing stepped forward to thank him.

"Thank you, sir! My husband is a dull person, I hope you can forgive me, sir, please!"

Sun Lei took a look at the small, cramped, dirty house. Ximen Qing was very embarrassed at this moment because his house was too small.

Cao Shuo brought a cup of warm water. Their family couldn't even afford tea. Sun Lei took the water and took a sip and said.

"No need, just come with me to see the new house!"

Sun Lei has a mild obsession with mysophobia, and coming to this alley is already the utmost he can tolerate.

Cao Ding's family followed Sun Lei to a large mansion.

"This is a reward from this official. Anyone who brings honor to this county will be rewarded in the future."

Sun Lei waved his hand to signal someone to come forward, and an honest man came forward.

"This is the person who will show you around. Take a look first. If you have any complaints, feel free to ask!"

"Sir, this is too valuable. I can't use it!"

Cao Ding finally recovered at this time, and when he saw the big house, he felt very cramped.

"My words are as good as gold. The court has commended you, so why not give me a house as a gift? You can count the money first. Don't worry about thieves. The government office is next door."

He would be proud to have such a figure. His family was not short of money, and they only had a house. This way, he could stimulate other people, and if a few more nationally famous people came, his career would be much smoother.

Seeing how cautious the family was, Sun Lei told his men to follow their orders and went back to the government office. He wanted to take a shower as he seemed to have stepped in dog poop just now!

"You guys get used to it first, I'll come back another day!

Cao Ding sent Sun Lei out, and then began to look at the house carefully. He slapped himself twice, it hurt a lot, it was not a dream!

"Master Cao, please come this way! I am Sun San."

Cao Ding blushed with shame at this sir.

"It's not possible, is it? You can just call me Cao Ding. This house is really big. Sorry for the hassle!"

Sun San smiled and led the way.

"This house is your private property. The title deed has been transferred to your name. Please keep this title deed. We are now at the entrance and reception room. The house here is designed based on the layout of the houses on Xingfu Street near the home of Prime Minister Qin in Xianyang. The planning is very reasonable. Let's go this way. This is the main courtyard..."

Sun San took Cao Ding's family to look after the house, and Qin Shuang from Yanmen County also received a reward.

The prefect of Yanmen County looked for her all over the streets with gifts, and finally found Qin Shuang in a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city.

"Oh! My aunt, why are you here?"

Fortunately, he had a good memory and he was the one who helped her submit the drawings before.

"I've met Mr. Xie!"

Qin Shuang had no place to live and she brought several younger brothers and sisters with her. The little ones were all pale and thin. They had no land, so Xie Chen counted the refugees and registered them.

"I've already told you that you don't have to be so polite. The reward from the court has come down, and you don't have to wander around without a fixed place to live anymore."

Xie Chen put the money in front of her, and Qin Shuang was a little at a loss.

"My lord, this is too much."

They had been used to being poor since childhood, so when they saw so much money, they were not happy but scared. They looked around, afraid that someone would suddenly appear and rob them of their money.

"Sister, that's a lot of money! We won't be hungry anymore."

Qin Gao wanted to eat a lot of things and had already started swallowing his saliva.
