Chapter 68 More like a person than a vertical and horizontal
While Mingzhu was behaving like a demon, Lu Buwei was also busy. Since he turned fifty, Lu Buwei, who has paid more and more attention to health, rarely stayed up all night busy on one thing. However, what Ying Zheng gave him was very important to him.
The shock was so great that he stayed up for two nights and finally read the bamboo slips handed over to him by Ying Zheng from the beginning to the end.
As the last character fell into his eyes, he knew that everything Ying Zheng said was true.
Although he already knew that Ying Zheng could not speak frankly, when Lu Buwei actually found out the answer himself, the impact on him was still huge.
How can history books be used in this way?
On the way to Xianyang Palace, Lu Buwei recalled what he had seen in the past three days, and still had a strange feeling.
At the same time, in his mind, a plan is slowly forming. If next year is really the year of the locust plague, then the Qin State, which has already started preparations this year, can conserve its strength to the maximum extent during next year's locust plague.
, and countries such as Han, Wei, Zhao, and Chu will fall into unprecedented weakness.
For Qin, this is an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Lu Buwei couldn't help but look at another person in the carriage. This person's name was Yao Jia, a person from the Wei State. He was born in the "Shijian Menzi", that is, a hereditary jailer. However, in his generation, this family inheritance
It was considered cut off because Yao Jia had higher pursuits.
This era is a bad era full of war and death, but for some people, it is also an era full of opportunities. In this era, the traditional order is broken, and the new order has not yet been completely established. In the midst of chaos,
As long as you have real talents, you will have the opportunity to break the shackles of identity and truly "change your life."
Yao Jia was a person who hoped to "change his life" by relying on his talents. For this reason, after more than ten years of lingering between Wei and Zhao, he came to Qin and took refuge with Lu Buwei, a friend he had made while doing business in the past.
Now, his chance has come.
······
"Your Majesty, I have finished reading those bamboo slips." Lu Buwei, who came to Xianyang Palace, reported to Ying Zheng.
"So, Father Zhong has no doubts now, right?" Ying Zheng said clearly.
"Yes, although it is unbelievable, it is also reasonable. The records again and again cannot be false. Our Qin country needs to prepare in advance for tomorrow's disaster." Lu Buwei said.
"The matter of purchasing grain needs to be put on the agenda. Father Zhong already has a candidate, right?" Ying Zheng said.
Lu Buwei came to Xianyang Palace this time and brought someone with him. Naturally, such a thing could not be hidden from Ying Zheng, the master of Xianyang Palace.
Yao Jia, it has been a long time since we last met. This person is more like a political advisor than the two future political advisors. Ying Zheng even wondered if this person was the other one of the two political advisors of the previous generation who failed in the competition. Unfortunately,
There is no way to verify it.
Of course, there is no need to delve too deeply into it, because no matter what his background or origins are, as long as he can be used by the Qin State and bring enough value, these are enough. As for the others, it is not important at all.
"I do have a candidate, but whether to use him in the end depends on the king's decision." Lu Buwei lowered his stance at this time.
Because, he suddenly realized that Ying Zheng was no longer the young man he could manipulate at will. At this time, Ying Zheng had enough ability to exert influence on Qin, and Qin also had enough people to respond to this influence.
This discovery made Lu Buwei slowly adjust his relationship with Ying Zheng. There were some things that he knew he could only put in the shadows and not be too obvious.
Ying Zheng nodded noncommittally, just going through the procedures. At present, in the Qin State, the person with the most abundant human resources is Lu Buwei. The only person who can find a suitable candidate is Lu Buwei.
Although Lu Buwei has various selfish motives, he is still more reliable than some others because there is still a real community of interests between the two.
Yao Jia was quickly called into Xianyang Palace.
Under Ying Zheng's gaze, Yao Jia's calmness gradually became unable to be maintained, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Most smart people are lonely, and Yao Jia is such a person. He also likes this kind of loneliness, because it is a symbol of his wisdom. He never needs like-minded people who understand him.
He hated having anyone understand him, but he was only vaguely uneasy about King Qin's understanding of him.
"I heard that when he was in Zhao State, he was engaged in business travel and was quite successful." Just when Yao Jia was about to lose his nerve, Ying Zheng asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, when I was in the State of Zhao, I did make a living by doing business." Yao Jia said with a sigh of relief.
At this time, he thought that Ying Zheng's understanding of him might have come from Lu Buwei. In this case, he was not worried about being completely seen through. His secrets still belonged to him.
"Gu is also interested in business affairs, and has had regular contacts with him. During this process, Gu has a question. I wonder if your husband can help me solve my doubts," Ying Zheng said.
"The Prime Minister was a great businessman back then. How dare I try to do anything in front of the Prime Minister?" Yao Jia said humbly.
"I would like to hear your answer to this question," Ying Zheng said.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty." Yao Jia saw this and no longer shied away. He knew that this was Ying Zheng's test for him.
"If a person wants to make a fortune through business, what should he do?" Ying Zheng said.
"It depends on what this person is good at." Yao Jia said calmly, this is his area of expertise.
"If this person doesn't have any skills, will this affect his fortune?" Ying Zheng said.
"What if he doesn't have enough money to start a business?" Ying Zheng asked again.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money. As long as you have connections and connections, you can get rich." Yao Jia said, but he was thinking a little more in his words.
"Skills, money, or connections, which factor is more important for doing business?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Small businessmen rely on skills, medium and small businessmen rely on money, and big businessmen rely on relationships." Yao Jia said.
"Then I don't know, is sir a small businessman, a medium-sized businessman, or a big businessman?" Ying Zheng asked in a calm tone.
"I can only count it?" Yao Jia was about to answer, but the words got stuck in his throat.
Because he suddenly realized that there was a deeper meaning in Ying Zheng's question.
