The Qin State has always been the world of the Legalists, at most there are Mohists who make military ordnances, as well as farming houses that make farming land.

They are not in the same way as other schools of thought, especially Huang Lao, who emphasizes the governance of inaction, and Confucianism who emphasizes the conquering of people with virtue.

Wang Xiao returned to Xianyang City, his first order was to summon talented people from all over the world to come to Xianyang City for the exam.

Those who pass the exam will be awarded official positions.

As soon as the news came out, it was clear that the Guizhou leaders didn't care, and they basically didn't even know each other, so they naturally had nothing to do with them.

Among the hundreds of schools of thought, oily and hot peppers exploded directly.

Learning civil and military skills is sold to the imperial family.

No matter which school of thought, they essentially have their own pursuits. Even the empty, lonely and cold novelists hope that more people will read the novels they wrote.

Mainstream schools such as Confucianism, Legalism, and Huang Laojia regard serving emperors as their pursuit of life.

Now Wang Xiao gave them a chance, and anyone who received the news was as excited as if he was injected with chicken blood.

Children from all over the country set out to Xianyang City.

When countries are in dispute, the various schools of thought are also very fierce.

At that time, not only did each family say a joke, but it was common for them to draw swords in their hands.

For example, the Legalists were in Qin and Confucians were in Qi. Except for their own small allies, they treated other schools mainly for suppressing and expelling them.

Just like the ruler of the Legalists, who promoted Legalists in the State of Lu, attracted a large number of Confucius' students to attend classes. As a result, Confucius, who was disgusted with the legal system, was dealt with with the crime of confusing the public with a witchcraft, and then gave him three days of corpse.

Internal disputes among hundreds of schools of thought are common.

To put it bluntly, the so-called struggle is just to allow people from their own school to enjoy the dividends together.

What they compete for is that people with the same interests, or like-minded people, can enjoy the benefits brought by the doctrine.

But now, all countries are gone and they have become Qin's land.

Without national-level support, it is inevitable that other schools other than Legalism will have weak momentum.

Various schools of thought have long been dissatisfied with the Legalists' control of the Qin Dynasty, but unfortunately they cannot shake the Qin State's strength.

Now the King of Qin has taken the initiative to give him a chance, and whoever doesn’t know how to grasp is a bad pen.

Wang Xiao, who returned to Xianyang City, rested in the palace for a few days. Li Si and others submitted documents to the construction of the imperial tomb and a brand new imperial palace.

In later generations, the cities were usually in the center of the palace or facing north and south. The rest were houses or other places.

In the Qin and Han dynasties, most of the areas in the city were palaces. The rest were the residences of nobles in the official offices, arsenals, and so on.

Most of the merchants in Guizhou live outside the city.

At this time, Xianyang City had no place to build the imperial palace.

As for building imperial tombs, Li Si and the others were cursing Wang Xiao, and they wanted him to move in earlier.

But this era emphasizes death as life. In other words, when you are dying, you should enjoy it as much as when you are alive.

They believe, or they deceive themselves and say that after they die, they just change places to continue living.

Therefore, it is a good thing to repair the tomb in this era, and people who are not of sufficient level are not qualified to cultivate it.

Since Wang Xiao surpassed the kings and became the emperor, his tomb must be built to an unprecedented level.

"The imperial tomb was built in Mount Li, and 700,000 people were sent to the public for twenty years."

Looking at the budget estimate, Wang Xiao couldn't help pinching his fingers.

The twenty years of cultivation mentioned here refer to the fact that the main part can be completed within twenty years.

However, pay attention to this, but the construction of the tomb will not end here, but will continue to be completed until the emperor moves in. It will be considered officially ending.

As for what to do after the main project is over, Wang Xiao probably would have to raise flowers and raise grass, carve a stone tablet, carve a stone statue, or something. Anyway, he is not a professional, so he doesn't know.

The corvee service of 700,000 people, plus the people who take care of them, the tools they use, their food, clothing, housing and transportation expenses, etc.

This is a cost that cannot see the end and will continue to consume the country's vitality.

"Wait for the matter of repairing the tombs first."

Wang Xiao must be unwilling to consume all manpower and materials on this, and has long been proven to be meaningless by history.

With so much manpower and supplies, it would be really delicious to take it out to fight the Huns.

However, these customs have been passed down for a long time, and Wang Xiao is not able to abolish them directly. So he chose to put them aside for the time being.

"Here."

Among the ministers, except for the Shaofu Ling, who was responsible for the royal project, was a little disappointed, the others were very calm.

Wang Xiao picked up a document again, asking to build a new imperial palace.

To be honest, Wang Xiao himself has not high demand for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In other worlds, there are also days of sleeping in the open.

No matter how big the palace is, isn’t it still the same bed when you sleep?

"Your Majesty." Feng Quji held the tablet and saluted, "My power of Qin is in the world and worships all over the world. A new palace should be built to show the glorious power of heaven."

Xiao He once said, "Not magnificent, no one can value power."

In this era, facing an environment where most people are illiterate, the towering and tall palaces can indeed put huge psychological pressure on ordinary people, thus making them feel awe.

This is a psychological matter, Wang Xiao understands this.

The Qin Dynasty has now unified the world, so of course it is necessary to build a more magnificent palace complex than the previous palace.

But building a new palace is essentially similar to building an imperial tomb.

A large number of civilians, massive materials, and massive consumption.

Wang Xiao really doesn't want to spend too much on these things.

"Let's talk about the matters in the palace." Wang Xiao thought for a while, and felt that it was more important to use resources in the army.

"Your Majesty, no." The ministers stopped doing it and came out to persuade him.

The emperor was young, and everyone was afraid of life and death. So Wang Xiao said that it would be nothing to put it aside for the time being, and it would have to be built in the end anyway.

But the new palace is different because it represents the face of the Qin Dynasty, which unifies the world.

As ministers in the court, these people must not relax in this kind of face-saving project, because it is related to their reputation.

Faced with the persuasion of everyone, Wang Xiao was also a little hesitant.

It was not because he wanted to live in a big house, but as beauties from various countries came to visit and play chicken-eating games, the palace was gradually getting lost.

"Then build it little by little, don't think about completing it in one go."

Wang Xiao finally agreed to build a new palace complex. However, he firmly remembered the lessons of Afang Palace in history and would rather spend a long time to slowly repair it than crazily exploit people's resources in order to live in as soon as possible.

The Shaofu has already made various preliminary preparations. Several alternative addresses are sent, and the complete architectural drawings are followed.

Wang Xiao only read it once and knew it. This was the drawings of Afang Palace.

He didn't know how many times he had been in and out of the Afang Palace, but he could tell by looking at the drawings.

Since it is Afang Palace, there is no need to think about the address, it must be on the original address.

The four major projects of Zulong are the Great Wall, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, the Qin Straight Road, and the Afang Palace.

In Wang Xiao's view, only Qin Zhidao has positive significance.

He is not going to repair the imperial tomb or something. He can't use it anyway.

The Afang Palace can be built, but it is absolutely impossible to start a project urgently. It would rather be built for decades.

For the Great Wall, Wang Xiao plans to continue to expand, and wherever the Iron Cavalry goes, it is the country.

It is really not worth the effort to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build this.

But the Great Wall has different meanings and has even become a symbol of China. It cannot be lost in Wang Xiao's hands.

If you practice, you will definitely practice.

When he thought of another project that would cost millions of manpower, it took countless years to build and consumed huge amounts of money. Wang Xiao was very troubled, and he even thought that it would be easier to be a foolish monarch.

Being a fool is too simple, just be a beautiful woman all day long.

But if you want to prevent Zulong from disappointing, Wang Xiao will have a real headache.

In fact, the essence of everything is that productivity is too underground.

If it were in the era of mechanization, these projects were really nothing.

To build these major projects, it is necessary to mobilize a large population. In Wang Xiao's plan, the population of China plays an important role. They must move in all directions and expand their living space. It cannot be used on construction sites.

Wang Xiao thought about it and finally decided that since he could not use the internal one, he would hire him from the outside.

He was preparing to send a large army to attack the Fourth Field Army, use swords, guns, swords and halberds to hire barbarians to be coolies.

Anyway, they are all working hard, and the barbarians have no brains and only have strength left.

Before dispatching the army, Wang Xiao had a lot to do.
