Chapter 76 Late Spring Cold

        【Thus, Li Si retraced his steps to the old land of Qin, where he began to measure and redraw the land, and implemented his reform program】

    【With the influence of Jiren Tianxiang Card, everything he did was no longer blocked.】

    Wherever he went, wherever he arrived, it was always a season of good weather and abundant rain.

    The main purpose of Li Si's tour of the country was actually to cure the epidemic.

    【The most important measure was to set up hospitals.】

    The hospitals can be considered an early form of quarantine, a form that is more acceptable to modern people.

    【But for ancient people, this form is a completely different concept.】

    【There are many records that many poets and scholars have described the "hospital" as a manifestation of "tyranny".】

    For ancient China, which did not have a very detailed theory of virology, "the hospital" was akin to a family forsaking an individual and effectively declaring their death.

    【Yesterday night, they could still see that person standing in front of them in pain.】

    【Today, tell them that this person can only wait to die?】

    Not even a glance allowed?

    This person is clearly a sturdy man, just a few days ago he was lively!

    He just has a fever, is it that serious?

    How can this not cause rebellion throughout the land?

    【In the eyes of the people, there are no hospitals. They only know that their families can only wait to die.】

    For Li Si, they couldn't say that they had tried to set up hospitals in Xianyang and found them useful.

    Although the reasons couldn't be fully understood, the final result was still, at least— the epidemic in Xianyang was brought under control.

    But this cannot be told to the people, even if it were, it would only earn them the reputation of "bullying people to death".

    Many people believe that this is what Qin wants to do like it did in the past to weaken the people of the world and collect weapons from them, he wants to weaken the people of the world again.

    If the people can no longer gather as before, then everyone will be doomed.

    Therefore, lawless people have reappeared.

    Li Si walked slowly, along the way, he had little way to manage the local:

    The people hope for family reunions, but to survive, they must part ways.

    He had to adopt coercive measures, luckily the places he had visited beforehand were all in the heartland of Qin.

    These places at least were the original people of Qin, they knew that the Qin treated them best, and even many were the earliest military merits of Qin.

    Since their childhood, they had grown up hearing about the deeds of Li Si and Ying Zheng, the Son of the Marquis. Naturally, they still believed in Li Si.

    However, the further he went, the more difficult it became for Li Si to solve.

    When he reached the territory of the six states, at first the news had not spread, and people were more peaceful.

    But once the news reached far and wide, it was when the restless people began to cause disturbances.

    Li Si had no choice, he had to adopt the most traditional way of the Qin: issuing orders directly, without explanations, and directly arranging.

    Even if it meant losing the people's hearts, he would have to keep the world stable.

    Li Si finally understood:

    The Qin Dynasty, after all, was not immune to collapse.

    All grandeur will eventually lead to decay.

    It might be better to let future generations, let the people of this world, live a bit better.

    Li Si has now fully determined that the Jiren Tianxiang card can bring the nine provinces into snow, allow for a bountiful harvest next year, and that is enough.

    Gradually into spring.

    The unrest became increasingly severe.

    Li Si had walked to Chu territory.

    This was the territory of the old Chu state, where Li Si used to serve as a small official.

    Li Si served as a low-level official here for thirteen years, saving up enough money to seek out Xunzi.

    When he was here years ago, he was still a young man with great ideals. He never thought that he would return to his hometown at this time.

    On the phone, the model appeared slowly.

    "Another model?"

    "The recent models are becoming increasingly dense."

    Zhao Pei'an looked at the phone, "it's good."

    "This game is finally not just a text game anymore."

    Putting out words every day, one might think this game is purely a historical text.

    ……

    An encampment.

    The night wind swept over the cheeks. In the time of spring, it was the coldest.

    Li Si lay on the bed, struggling to fall asleep for a long time.

    The rain outside keeps coming without stop. "Jiren have their own fate." Thunder claps like to announce a bountiful harvest for the coming year.

    He stared at the moonlight for a long time, finally got up, walked down the bed, and took a coat from the door to put it on.

    The spring breeze of the night swept over his face, and he hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

    Joking, this is the world he personally conquered, and he watched as the great Qin empire slowly strengthened.

    Along the way, he saw countless people lose their homes.

    These people, who are critically ill, are locked up in the hospitals, how could he not feel distressed?

    However, what can he do?

    He looked in the distance and seemed to already see the familiar Wan City.

    Tomorrow, he would be back in Chu.

    The Wan City is not a very outstanding or powerful city in Chu, but for Li Si, it is the place where he has the most idealistic aspirations in his life.

    At least at that time, there was a prospect.

    He looked forward to, "When I am by Xunzi's side, I can learn about principles and govern the world."

    However, the world does not seem to always go as people wish.

    His figure was becoming increasingly hunched.

    "Bang, bang, bang..."

    The knocking sound echoed, and Li Si asked, "Who is it?"

    "Reporting to the Chancellor, there is intelligence ahead. There are rebellious people in Wan City, so we are on alert. To prevent disturbing the Chancellor, we come to inform you."

    "..."

    Li Si was silent.

    What's the difference between you doing this and directly disturbing my sleep?

    Throughout the journey, the guards were also on high alert.

    Making such mistakes is normal. Li Si wouldn't scold them on the journey.

    In the end, they were all good intentions.

    After the journey by boat and carriage, everyone's mental state was actually not very good:

    Li Si understood.

    Li Si understood. This batch included young guards and civilian officials; even those who had seen blood in the past had never witnessed the terrifying manner of death from the Black Death.

    Li Si looked at the bamboo stick on his desk, gently drew out a bamboo rod.

    【Great Luck】

    This is a trinket from the ancient business divination method that Li Si has been messing around with since the Chu and Wu rebellion.

    Before, he was met with great misfortune every day, but now he was receiving great luck every day.

    Holding the wooden stick, his hand paused for a moment before placing it back into the bamboo tube.

    Li Si grasped the bamboo tube in his hand, then let go, turned his back to the front door, and his eyes were misty.

    He looked up at the moon, sighing deeply, "I'll go to Wan City tomorrow."

    "Time to return to Chu again."

    "Calculate the years, my elders and villagers should still recognize me."
