"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of vassal states have arisen. Since the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, there have been seven lords in the Warring States Period. In just two hundred years, hundreds of vassal states have been reduced to the number they have today."
"The world has become a foregone conclusion. If you yearn for freedom, you can live in the Qin Kingdom and find a close friend. You will be safe and unparalleled for the rest of your life without too much intrusion."
"It's a choice!"
Zhou Qing did not force them, and besides, their appearance here had shown their intentions. Although this choice was somewhat illusory, it was also a decision of their own integrity.
Zhou Qing has no doubt that they have no family or country to intrude upon them, no enemies of the country and family to hate them, they are powerful martial artists, they live like common people, and they can live a happy and carefree life.
To this choice, Ying Ge in the quiet room did not respond. She still looked at Zhou Qing with a pair of calm eyes. Those eyes that had experienced endless life and death and looked down upon life and death actually gave Zhou Qing a different feeling at this moment.
"As for the second option, you need to get closer to know it!"
"That choice does not make you a killer, nor does it make you a wanderer, but a different kind of life. I think you will like it very much."
He did not directly mention the specific content of the second choice. He drank down the fine wine in his hand, took a step forward, flicked his finger, and the jade cup quietly fell on the table. Although the cultivation of the three of them was not bad.
But looking at the entire Zhu Xia, they can only be regarded as first-class, not strong. The three of them tried their best, but they were not able to kill the military master Ji Wuye that night, which already shows that their abilities are limited.
"I choose the second one!"
As soon as Zhou Qing finished speaking, a cold response flowed out of Yingge's mouth. She didn't seem to think too much. She took a deep breath, lowered her beautiful eyes, and looked at the shirt on her chest again.
Wood parrot pendant.
"I'm not in a hurry to respond, because Mo Crow and Bai Feng are not here."
"I'll tell them later that there may be chaos in Xianyang next. It's terrifying beyond the night. If nothing happens, just stay in the room and practice."
"When your cultivation reaches Ji Wuye's level, you can leave Xianyang!"
In today's quiet room, only Yingge appeared. The meaning had been revealed, and Zhou Qing knew it very well. He nodded to Yingge and returned to the window again. Within Xianyang, there were people from Luowang and Heibingtai base camp.
area.
Compared to the three or two big kittens in the night, they are more terrifying. Their words are tactful, and their eyes fall on a magnificent motorcade on the streets of Xianyang at this moment. Above the flying temperament, each and every dark and capital Qin seal comes into view.
Eyes - clear.
The spiritual sense spread, and all the movements within a hundred feet radius came into view. The motorcade stretched for dozens of feet, with soldiers riding famous horses clearing the way, holding spears, and behind them was a large horse riding horse, all covered in bright red.
After the carriage, there is an ox-cart pulled by bullocks. There are exquisite and huge wooden boxes on it. Judging from the material and decoration of the wooden boxes, they are all precious wood, and the inner contents can be seen clearly.
.
"Looking at the ceremonial guard, his position is comparable to that of a king, but I didn't expect it to be this person!"
Combining the information gathered now, plus the information he saw, inside the fiery red carriage should be Ba Shiqing, a wealthy man in Ba County, also known as Widow Qing. When he was still at the Tianzong headquarters, he also heard that
its name.
Speaking of which, this woman is even more extraordinary than Wushi Luo. To a certain extent, she is even more extraordinary than Wushi Luo. Ba Shiqing was the wife of Ba Shi in Ba County. Her surname was Qing. During the wedding, her husband died unexpectedly.
From then on, he lived alone and was called Widow Qing.
Without external interference, this woman spread Ba's business throughout the Qin State in just over ten years, especially cinnabar and mercury, which made the nobles of the Qin State very happy. In addition, Ba County was
At the border between Qin and Chu, many people from the Chu state also made purchases.
Sitting on a huge family fortune, Widow Qing is not a short-sighted person. For several years, she has been friends with Wen Xinhou, and every year she contributes a large amount of money to the treasury of the Qin State. Soon, the Qin King and his colleague Wen Xinhou
Order, grant the title to the widow and clear her throne with the title of king.
Entering Xianyang at this time, I think I knew in advance that the King of Qin was about to crown him, and all the princes of the Qin court gathered to congratulate the King of Qin on his assumption of power and to express their sincerity. None of these big businessmen were simple.
******
The day of the Crown Ceremony is approaching, but the internal affairs of the country still exist, midsummer is approaching, and the busy season is coming. Under the Qin State, which adheres to the laws of the Shang Dynasty and emphasizes agriculture and war, May is the unshakable season of supervising farmers.
Not only were all the county officials dispatched to villages and communities to encourage farming and harvesting grain, but the same was true for all major government offices. Officials were decentralized one by one to inspect agricultural affairs, and if there were any problems, they were immediately resolved.
Farming is the basis. If there are not enough grain reserves and not enough people to cultivate, the Qin army will not be strong. Even Wen Xin Hou Lu Buwei was outside Xianyang at this time, dispatching manpower to ensure summer harvest and summer planting.
For the King of Qin, although this was not necessary, he left Xianyang the next day and entered the side of Lishan Mountain to watch the people harvesting the seeds. He was followed by Zhou Qing, Gai Nie, Li Xin and others.
But in addition, there were a few more officials. One was Wang Wan and the other was Feng Quji, both of whom were officials in the court. Zhao Gao, the regular attendant, also followed him, walking in the fields of Lishan Mountain to observe various conditions.
"Yesterday, the Empress Dowager Zu and Mrs. Chu advised me that the master can take charge of the position of Sangu, establish the position of Taibao, teach Fusu martial arts practice, regulate yin and yang, and strengthen the body."
"Master, what do you think?"
From Chen time to noon, he had been patrolling the fields. The sun was shining brightly, and Qin Wangzheng, who was wearing a brocade robe, was sweating profusely. Zhao Gao beside him was busy and kept offering tea and silk scarves.
After watching a group of farmers loading bags of millet and millet and transporting them away, they slowly breathed a sigh of relief and found a shaded place not far away, where they each enjoyed the shade, rested for a while, and drank a bowl of herbal tea.
He looked at Zhou Qing.
"Mrs. Chu and Young Master Fusu also came to Xuanqing Palace in person yesterday to talk about this matter. As for the outcome, your Majesty will decide."
"However, my Taoist martial arts has a clear understanding of yin and yang, knowledge of good and evil, and all things move according to rules. For the young master, it is a good thing!"
Hearing the words of Qin Wangzheng, Zhou Qing nodded slightly. In addition to Fusu's education, for the time being, the words of the Empress Dowager Huayang are still quite weighty. It can be heard from her words that she does not seem to think about herself and the Chu State.
The relatives walked closer.
"Understand yin and yang clearly, and know good and evil!"
"The words of the master are always so direct to everyone's mind. Yes, there is no absolute good or bad in any thing in this world. Even so, when everyone is done with the ceremony, the master should be the young protector and spend his free time.
At that time, he taught Fusu martial arts."
"Speaking of which, there was another incident related to the master yesterday in Zhangtai Palace. Does the master know about it?"
The essence of Taoism is the most comprehensive among hundreds of schools of thought. Some time ago, Lu Buwei, the Wenxin Hou, published a book called "Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals". Its outline contains a lot of Taoist principles and is a mixture of Legalism, Confucianism, military strategists, and political strategists.
Although I don't like "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", this book is indeed well compiled. Unfortunately, it is inconsistent with the general trend of the world. If it were to be written in the future, the principles of its book would be quite commendable.
Moreover, from what Han Fei said about the essence of Legalism, we can also see that the essence of Taoism is omnipresent. In his chapters "Jie Lao" and "Yu Lao", it is called the study of the emperor.
Although I don't like the Confucian spirit in Fusu, if I can understand the yin and yang in the essence of Confucianism, as the master said, it can be regarded as something gained. As for martial arts practice, it is just incidental.
The words trailed off, and the conversation changed to another matter. A slight smile appeared on his face, which was slightly darkened by the scorching sun, and he looked at Zhou Qing with a different kind of profound meaning.
"But yesterday, when the widow had an audience with the king, she mentioned the art of papermaking and printing?"
