Chapter 11 Dictation(1/2)
The two of them walked back and met many villagers who went into the mountains to collect firewood and went to the fields to work early. When they saw Fusu, they greeted him with a smile on their faces.
After months of getting along, most people are no longer afraid of the guards who are following Fusu. They love Fusu very much. Some people also carry the fat rabbits caught in the mountains and ask Fusu if they want to eat them.
Fusu politely rejected the kindness of the villagers and chatted with them for a few words before they parted politely.
The young man in a commonplace followed him all the way to another village, and his mood became more and more serious.
After coming to Yunyang County, he had heard a lot about Fusu and knew that this Qin prince was very popular in Yunyang, and anyone who mentioned it would be praised.
He once heard that King Ying Zheng of Qin was able to treat the virtuous and humble men. Whenever a capable man came to join Qin, Ying Zheng would travel in the same car with the other party, imitating the other party's clothes and dressing, and matching the other party's eating habits, which could be said to have done the ultimate courtesy and ability to treat the virtuous.
Nowadays, there are many people from the Qin court who come from the Eastern countries, most of whom are in high positions or are treated preferentially.
Looking back on all the experiences he had before coming to Qin, the young man in a common man felt heavy.
Whether it is a show or a forbearance, at least the attitude of the King of Qin and his son is very good. The kings of the Eastern countries are levied and bribed, the nobles are arrogant and extravagant, the people are suffering, and the aspiring people are persecuted. Talented people are not allowed to be valued. Instead, villains and borers are mixed in like fish in water.
No wonder Qin is becoming increasingly powerful, making the six Eastern countries unable to sleep or eat!
The young man in a commoner entered another village with Fusu. Seeing that everything in the village was normal and there was no special thing, his eyes became more and more complicated when he looked at Fusu.
Fusu led the young man in a common school to the small pavilion where he usually studied.
There is an ordinary bamboo mat in the middle of the pavilion, a very ordinary desk on it, and a half-old stove next to it. It is used to make a fire in winter to keep warm, and now it is used to make tea.
After embarking on the road of cultivation, Fusu did not develop any other preferences, but liked to drink tea. A few years ago, he ordered people to go south to find tea, but recently someone quickly sent a batch of tea back.
The tea leaves were fried according to his preferences. The tea water made from it was clear and beautiful, and the tea fragrance lingered, making people calm down when they smelled it.
Although there was nothing expensive in the pavilion, Fusu sat there, but the teenager in the common clothes felt that the whole yard was extraordinary.
He looked out of the pavilion and saw that the room opposite was full of books and scrolls, which were so large that it was shocking. If a scholar saw it, he would definitely want to take root in it.
Just based on this house of books, this no-school is amazing.
The young man in a commoner praised: "The young man has the spirit of being a father."
Fusu was not surprised that the boy knew his identity. After all, people from all over the townships in Yunyang County now basically recognize him. He asked, "Have you asked for your brother's name yet?"
The young man in a commoner said, "I have a surname called Zhang, and my name is Liang, a person from Xinzheng."
Although Fusu has never heard of Zhang Liang's name, Xinzheng is the capital of South Korea. Judging from Zhang Liang's character and attitude, it is obvious that he is not an ordinary person.
He remembered that the Korean Prime Minister was also surnamed Zhang, and his family was the fifth generation of Han. He had speculation in his mind, but he didn't ask much.
Fusu said with a smile: "It turns out it's Brother Zhang." He personally handed Zhang Liang a cup of tea, "This is a kind of tea drink I asked someone to find. Brother Zhang drinks it and still likes it."
Zhang Liang did not refuse, and picked up the tea and took a sip. Although the tea was a little bitter, after the bitterness dissipated, he could gradually taste some sweetness. He felt that the depression in his heart suddenly dissipated.
Zhang Liang praised: "This is very good."
Fusu took the opportunity to ask about Han Di’s academic research.
I asked someone to go to Xinzheng to find out this little thing, but Zhang Liang didn't hide it from it.
His grandfather assisted the King of Han for three generations, and his father also served as prime ministers for two generations. Including the fact that their Zhang family was indeed prime ministers for five generations, and their family background was prominent in Korea.
He had such a background, so he was naturally taught by famous teachers since he was a child. When he was a little older, he read all the theories of various schools.
This time he came to Qin under the name of going out for a study trip, but in fact he wanted to find someone: Han Fei.
Zhang Liang read the books written by Han Fei and made a lot of gains. He only regretted that King Han didn't like Han Fei very much and never planned to reuse Han Fei, and the articles written by Han Fei were not all preserved.
This time Han Fei was sent to Qin State, Zhang Liang felt that Han Fei would either serve in the Qin court from then on and no longer return to Korea; or he would not be trusted by the Qin court and die in a foreign land.
No matter which possibility it was, he would probably never see Han Fei again. So he brought a few followers to Qin to travel quietly, preparing to find an opportunity to find Han Fei to come to other manuscripts, which was considered as a memorial.
Zhang Liang told Fusu what scholars and works there are in Korea, and also mentioned how many talents have been produced in Korea throughout the ages, with a bit of arrogance from the Korean family.
This kind of arrogance is not intended to target Fusu, but has been influenced by his own country since childhood and has been sincerely in love and pride for his own country.
Although South Korea is now in danger and is eyeing the surrounding countries, and the people have long been miserable by heavy taxes, the ancestors of South Korea were originally the gentry of Jin first, and later divided Jin with the Zhao and Wei families, and also had their own inheritance of the royal school, which was enough to compete with the Qi and Lu schools.
As for the Qin people, they have been guarding the bitter and cold lands in the northwest since ancient times, because they often fight against the grassland tribes, they have strong troops.
In terms of the strength of military power, Qin State is indeed far superior to other countries. It can govern the country and pacify the world, and it depends not only on the army!
Fusu listened carefully to Zhang Liang's statement of his ancestors' history and his experiences from childhood to adulthood, and was quite touched.
Other things can be faked, but Zhang Liang's demeanor cannot be faked. It can be seen that the Eastern countries do have many advantages worth imitating in cultivating their younger generations.
After Zhang Liang finished speaking, Fusu asked again: "How are the lives of the people in South Korea?"
Zhang Liang fell silent now.
After all, he was a teenager. He grew up with wealth and wealth since childhood, and he had not experienced many setbacks. He could not regard lying as ordinary.
What about the Korean people?
Of course, the people are suffering. Since the death of the former king and the succession to the throne, South Korea, which was already under the control of all sides, is even more precarious.
The new king not only did not appoint talents, but was also keen on enjoyment. In order to allow himself to enjoy comfortably, he repeatedly compromised on many things, ceded land, increased taxes, and increased corvee labor, and the lives of the people became increasingly miserable.
Zhang Liang raised his eyes and stared at Fusu.
This is definitely not an ordinary kid.
He is too smart to capture people's weakness at once.
Zhang Liang said: "Although the people suffer, if they become slaves to the destruction of their country, they will suffer even more."
If a person has no country to protect his own, he will only be a slave and a servant for his whole life, and will live a worse life than a cow and horse. No one will treat them as human beings.
Fusu calmed down.
Zhang Liang said: "Even if Qin can truly unify the world in the future, it will never last long. On that day, there will inevitably be thousands of people who will feel hatred for the destruction of the country. If these people have swords in their hands, they will pick up swords to fight against them; if these people only have hoes in their hands, they will pick up hoes to fight against them; even if they have nothing, they still have hands and feet. As long as they have their homeland and have bare hands, they can fight to the death - such people can't be killed."
Fusu knew very well that what Zhang Liang was talking about was the facts.
It is difficult to win the world, and it is also difficult to govern the world.
There are indeed many capable and ambitious people in the Eastern countries. Some of them are willing to use it for Qin after their country was destroyed, while others are always in love with their homeland as Zhang Liang said, and wish they could not kill his father.
After his father ruled the world, he encountered assassination many times and was unable to sleep or eat.
If it weren't for this, his father would not have been superstitious about alchemists later, and he was determined to pursue the immortal medicine. He even hid his whereabouts because of alchemists' words, not letting anyone know where he was.
Even his son is hard to meet his father.
Fusu felt a little sad, but he had traveled to many small worlds and knew the principle that the world's general trend would be divided for a long time.
Since the decline of the Zhou Dynasty and the rise of princes, the world has been in chaos for too long and will be unified in the future.
Even if it is not the Qin Dynasty, other countries will annex the various countries!
Their Qin Dynasty prepared for many years, and it happened to be a good time for the country to increase greatly and the army was strong. Unifying the world was just to follow the trend.
Fusu no longer continued this topic and asked instead: "Does Brother Zhang have a place to stay in Yunyang County? If you don't dislike my house being simple, you can live here."
Zhang Liang shook his head and politely declined Fusu's invitation: "I have settled in the county." He hesitated for a moment and asked Fusu if he had heard of Han Fei.
Fusu browsed.
He had heard of Han Fei's name, but he only learned about it after reading Han Fei's works. Han Fei was no longer there at that time.
He heard from his teacher Chunyu Yue that Han Fei was poisoned and killed in prison, but his works were very popular with the emperor and were always preserved, and there was even a lot of content that could be implemented.
Fusu said honestly: "I've heard it."
Zhang Liang told Fusu what he knew.
At the beginning of this year, Han Fei went to Qin to submit a lot of articles to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng was very kind to Han Fei at the beginning, but recently he suddenly ordered someone to imprison Han Fei. Now Han Fei is being imprisoned in Yunyang prison.
Zhang Liang just came here to travel. He was not familiar with Qin and could not visit Han Fei in prison.
He heard people talk about the school and knew about Fusu's existence, so he came here to take a look early this morning.
Unexpectedly, I met Fusu as soon as I came.
Zhang Liang said: "Since the King of Qin has put him in prison, it is difficult for him to be valued by the Qin court again. I came to Yunyang County to meet him. I like his articles very much, but he took away a lot of manuscripts when he was on mission, and I want to bring one back."
Fusu didn't expect that Zhang Liang came to Xianyang from thousands of miles to ask for a manuscript. He said, "Since he was imprisoned, his manuscript may not be still in his hands."
Zhang Liang said: "Since it was written by him, he should still remember that I begged him to tell me once."
Fusu Wei was surprised: "Can you remember it by saying it?"
Zhang Liang nodded.
He has been very knowledgeable since childhood, so he can't help but remember a few articles.
Since Zhang Liang was so sure, Fusu did not refuse.
He was also very curious about Han Fei and wanted to listen to Han Fei's articles, so he immediately said to Zhang Liang: "Then let's go to Yunyang Prison."
At the beginning, the teacher Chunyu Yue said that Han Fei died in prison, and Fusu was afraid that the person would be gone if he went too late.
Although Zhang Liang was surprised by Fusu's eagerness, he also wanted to see Han Fei earlier and immediately walked out of the pavilion with Fusu.
The two met Li You head-on.
When Li You saw that there was a young man with a face beside Fusu, he looked particularly beautiful and looked like a disguised girl, and his brows frowned slightly.
