Lu Buwei was very efficient. In the middle of the night, Zhao Jia was invited to have tea.
The sun sets in the west.
In a pavilion in Xianyang Palace, Lu Buwei was bathing in the afterglow of the setting sun, sitting at the table, holding a book in his hand, writing something with a pen from time to time, his expression focused, until Zhao Jia approached, the book in his hand
He paused for a moment and looked at Zhao Jia, with a faint smile on his old face: "The paper technique created by the young master is indeed of extraordinary significance, especially for future generations, and it has immeasurable merit."
The biggest effect of papermaking is to get rid of the cumbersome and heavy bamboo slips. A small book can record tens of millions of words, which is unmatched by bamboo slips.
Even if the process is a little more complicated, it is insignificant compared to the convenience it brings.
"Foreign Minister Zhao Jia has met Prime Minister Qin."
Zhao Jia first bowed his hands in salute, then stood up and replied: "Qin Xiang is so complimentary, I just got this unexpectedly."
"I have no false praise. Facts speak louder than words. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If it weren't for the papermaking technology you invented, the "Lu Spring and Autumn Annals" compiled under my leadership would not have been compiled into one volume."
Lu Buwei smiled, stroked his beard, and handed the book without a cover to Zhao Jia, with a little emotion in his eyes.
He is no longer the high-spirited young man he once was, but a gray-haired old man.
No matter what he thought in his heart, Zhao Jia had some admiration on his face and praised: "Qin Xiang's words are enough to be passed down through the ages."
Lu Buwei had paved the way for Ying Zheng a long time ago. He didn't need Ying Zheng to have too many ideas, because young people are very arrogant and easy to take the wrong path. Today's Qin State is the result of the accumulation of several generations. His
The wish is to see Qin unified the world in my lifetime, so naturally I cannot tolerate Ying Zheng making mistakes.
"Someone always needs to do it. I left this book in the hope that future generations can see this."
Lu Buwei frowned slightly. This name was a bit unfamiliar to him. He had not heard it many times. As the Prime Minister of the Qin State, his vision was naturally not limited to Luo Yu. For people in the world, Luo Yu was a shocking killer.
Salamander is a big shot, but to him, the killer is just a tool.
Zhao Jia pondered for a moment with a serious look on his face, nodded slowly, and said: "I just don't know if the descendants of Qin can see this. Since ancient times, reform has been accompanied by risks."
Lu Buwei raised his hand to hold it in vain, looked at Zhao Jia calmly, and said quietly: "How high the kite can fly depends on the string in your hand. No matter how high the kite flies, you only need to pull the string in your hand, and it will eventually fly."
Back to the starting point, what do you think, Master?"
"who?"
Lu Buwei continued: "Young Master should know the purpose of why I invited you here."
People will have selfish motives.
"Frightened Salamander?"
Zhao Jia cupped his hands and responded, knowing that Lu Buwei was reminding him to be careful.
"Young Master is a smart man, why should I speak so clearly?"
Just like elders always like to point fingers.
To put it simply: the world is for the common good.
"Teachable."
Well, I just let him go not long ago... Zhao Jia blinked, confused.
Even if it's a killer, it's the same.
Unfortunately, he also forgot one thing.
"Luo Wang is a top-level killer, Jing Shao. I had a chance encounter with her in the Kingdom of Zhao. At that time, she was being assassinated by Luo Wang. I promised her at that time that if I had the chance, I would help her."
"I don't understand."
They can talk it all, but how many people in the world can do it... Zhao Jia murmured in his heart that since ancient times, there have been very few saints who can combine knowledge and action. Most people just talk, including the person in front of him.
Of course, Lu Buwei, who compiled "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", also included him, Zhao Jia.
How can one be called a young man if he is not angry?
A blink of an eye.
Zhao Jia pondered for a while and said slowly.
After hearing this, Lu Buwei readily agreed. He even looked at Zhao Jia with a pleasing look. What a cultural person likes most is that others recognize his ideas and thoughts. On this point alone, he felt comfortable chatting with Zhao Jia.
, this feeling is different from that of a house guest.
Zhao Jia said a name that surprised Lu Buwei.
The smile on Lu Buwei's face faded, he looked at Zhao Jia calmly and knocked.
You can have as many tools as you want.
"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" is the hard work of Lu Buwei, which took nearly ten years. It uses "Taoism" as the main body, and uses the thoughts and theories of famous schools, Legalists, Confucianists, Mohists, farmers, military strategists, and Yin-Yang schools as materials, and integrates hundreds of scholars.
The family’s teachings are all in one place, which can be called an encyclopedia.
However, there is still some gold in the sky-level killer. Lu Buwei knew this. He pondered for a while and said slowly: "Since she was assassinated by the net, she must have made some mistake. But since the young master wants to protect her, then...
Let the young master handle the matter.
Because of its huge size, it was originally recorded on bamboo slips and required four and a half people-high wooden boxes to load it, but now it only requires one book.
Lu Buwei's eyes showed melancholy and he spoke slowly, feeling a little emotional about the passage of time.
For this matter, the young master can go to Zhao Gao of Lanchi Palace, he is responsible for controlling the Luowang Tianzi-level killer."
Forget it, Ying Zheng can't educate future generations, let me do this... Zhao Jia held the book and said with a serious face: "I wonder if the Prime Minister can give this book to me. I am very interested in this book."
interested in."
There was a pause.
Lu Buwei nodded and continued: "By the way, have you ever flown a kite?"
Lu Buwei obviously took advantage of Zhao Jia's flattery, and his smile became a little brighter: "This statement is the core of this book. I major in miscellaneous studies and have been involved in hundreds of schools of thought. Therefore, I know that running a country should not rely on one family.
The Qin State currently governs the country according to the law, but this does not mean that it can continue forever. Reform will definitely be needed in the future."
After Cheng Xi is dealt with and Zhao Ji is appeased, Lu Buwei can start to train Ying Zheng and let him go on his own path.
"Then I'll be relieved."
I heard that the Queen Mother was ill at the court meeting today, so I came to inquire about her, but I had no other intention."
Young people never listen to the opinions of their elders, they have to walk their own path.
"The Queen Mother is just feeling depressed. She had her checked by an imperial doctor earlier. It's nothing serious."
It’s really extremely convenient.
Zhao Jia didn't know what Lu Buwei was thinking. He made his request at this moment: "I want to ask the Prime Minister for someone."
This sentence is easy to understand, emphasizing the fairness of the world, doing things without any bias, and using natural phenomena as evidence for reasoning.
"Since the young master likes it, just take it."
Zhao Jia continued to act stupid.
Zhao Jia reached out and took the book. Naturally, he had heard about this book. He opened it curiously and saw a line of small characters that had just been revised. He read it out inadvertently: "The world is not owned by one person.
The world is the same as the world. The harmony of yin and yang does not exist in the same category; the dew and seasonal rain do not privatize one thing; the lord of all peoples does not belong to one person."
Lu Buwei's eyes flickered and he stared at Zhao Jia.
Zhao Jia held the book and pretended not to know: "Please make it clear to the Prime Minister."
Lu Buwei stared at Zhao Jia for a while, his eyes serious. After a moment, he chuckled and said: "Young Master, there is no need to be nervous. I am just concerned about the Queen Mother's health. I heard that the Young Master has often been in and out of Lanchi Palace in recent days to accompany the Queen Mother to relieve her boredom. The Queen Mother is very fond of it."
favorite.
"Goodbye, Prime Minister Qin!"
Lu Buwei made a promise: "As long as the young master can take good care of the queen mother, you can make any requests."
Obviously Lu Buwei has guessed what happened between Zhao Jia and Zhao Ji, but he will not interfere. As long as Zhao Ji does not cause trouble, he can tolerate Zhao Ji raising a male favorite, even if this male favorite is a prince from another country, what he needs most now is the court.
The stability of the situation.
"In any case, we must discuss this matter with the Prime Minister."
Zhao Jia placed his position very low and said respectfully.
When Lu Buwei heard this, he took a deep look at Zhao Jia and chuckled: "Young master, there is no need to be like this. Didn't I tell you that if you have any requests, just ask."
He suddenly discovered that Zhao Jia was different from the information he had read. Could it be that he was stimulated?
