Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Since ancient times, the books in each family's collection are precious and rarely shown to the public. These books are used for two main purposes: one is for trading, and the other is for mutual borrowing. However, for ordinary people, most of them cannot afford to buy expensive books and can only sigh in despair.

However, with the emergence of Gaoyao and the invention of paper, the situation has changed dramatically. The advent of paper has greatly reduced the cost of writing, and ordinary people can afford to buy and read books. In addition, the reduction of tax policies has given ordinary people more opportunities to learn and even have the possibility of becoming successful. As a result, the southern border gradually showed a prosperous scene, which was what the four sages of Shangshan were most moved by after they came to the southern border.

The question raised by Gao Yao really hit the nail on the head. If they had not witnessed it with their own eyes in this way, no matter how much others praised it, the four of them would probably find it hard to believe that the Southern Territory could be so prosperous, let alone believe that the Southern Territory would have such a big change.

"General, what you have done is indeed admirable, but we have long since left the court and want to retire to the mountains. We do not intend to dwell on what happened before, and we only hope that the general will let us leave."

At this time, Wu Shi was the first to speak and directly put forward his own ideas. It was true that what Gao wanted to do and the results he achieved were amazing, but it was indeed a bit excessive to invite people in this way. Naturally, several people would not choose to stay in the southern border.

"Someone, serve tea."

At this time, Gao Yao shouted to the people behind him, and soon a maid came to the main hall with a tray. Gao Yao stood up and began to pour tea cup by cup. Then he came to Tang Bing, who was the oldest among the four.

"Mr. Tang Bing, I apologize for any offense you may have caused me."

Gao Yao bowed and saluted as a disciple while speaking. This scene made all the four elders of Shangshan stunned. The four of them were just people in the opposition now, without any official positions. And Gao Yao was now the general of the Southern Territory, commanding at least 100,000 or 200,000 troops. The key was Gao Yao's ability. After seeing the changes in the Southern Territory, they all knew that Gao Yao's ability was far superior to theirs. But now he was able to make such an attitude, which really put himself very low.

"This……"

Tang Bing looked at Gao Yao's actions and could not help but feel surprised and touched. He did not expect Gao Yao to apologize to him so humbly and perform the etiquette of a disciple. This attitude gave Tang Bing a completely new understanding of Gao Yao.

Gao Yao had a sincere expression on his face, and his eyes were firm and sincere. He knew that his previous behavior might have caused trouble to Tang Bing, but he also hoped to express his sincerity through this apology.

Tang Bing took a deep breath and said slowly: "General Gao, you are too serious. I have already said that this matter has been dropped."

"Sir, every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. Sir, do you understand this principle better than me? Sir, you are well versed in history and know better than Gao Yao what a country is and what a family is. The world has never belonged to one person, but to everyone in the world! Without the country, how can there be a monarch? Without the people, how can there be a lord? Therefore, Gao Yao begs for your forgiveness! Gao Yao does not ask you to serve as an official for me, but only asks you to pass on the history and culture to those who should inherit it, so that more people can learn from history!"

After Gao Yao finished speaking, Tang Bing was silent for a long time. He looked at Gao Yao, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. Gao Yao's words flowed into his heart like a spring, making him re-examine his life and values.

"I... this..." Tang Bing hesitated as he realized that he could not refute Gao Yao's point of view. Every word hit his heart like a heavy hammer, making him realize his responsibility to the country and the nation.

Gao Yao's words at this time almost completely left Tang Bing speechless. Every word he said rose to the height of the country and the world, which made Tang Bing fall into deep thought. Faced with such questioning, how could Tang Bing admit that he was not even as good as an ordinary man? What's more, Gao Yao's attitude at this moment was sincere and firm, which made Tang Bing almost find no excuse or reason to refuse.

Not only Tang Bing, but also Cui Guang, Zhou Shu and Wu Shi on the side had expressions of shock on their faces. They had never expected Gao Yao to behave like this!

On the one hand, they were surprised that Gao Yao, who was in a high position, could bow his head and respect others. This kind of humility and broad mind is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. On the other hand, they were deeply shocked by what Gao Yao said. "Every man has his share of responsibility for the rise and fall of the country" directly set the position at an extremely high level, making it difficult for Tang Bing to refuse. Even if he wanted to find an excuse to refuse, it became impossible at this moment. Facing the teacup handed over by Gao Yao respectfully, Tang Bing hesitated for a moment, finally sighed helplessly, and then took the teacup.

"Thank you for your trust, General. I am old and confused, and I don't know if I can take on this important task..."

"Thank you sir!"

After hearing Tang Bing's words, Gao Yao was naturally not depressed, but secretly delighted. He immediately understood that the other party had agreed in disguise, but was just too embarrassed to express his opinion. After all, there were other old people here, and they were all well-known figures, so they couldn't easily reveal their attitudes. Gao Yao didn't waste any time and immediately came to Zhou Shu's side.

Gao Yao's order of departure was based on age, starting with the oldest. Zhou Shu looked at Gao Yao approaching, his face still full of resistance. He seemed to have a deep resistance to Gao Yao, but he had to face this situation.

Gao Yao stood in front of Zhou Shu and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Sir, you can distinguish right from wrong, and your knowledge is far superior to mine. I don't want to embarrass you, I just want to ask you one question. If you are willing to answer, then everything will be fine; if you are not willing to answer, then I will not force you. But please give me a clear answer."

“It’s okay to talk about it”

"People of my generation are responsible for the world, so we should worry about the world before we worry about ourselves, and be happy after the world is happy. Based on your knowledge, do you think Gao Yao is right or wrong?"

"hiss......"

Another sentence, Zhou Shu, who was trying to evade the question again, had no way to speak. Gao Yao was far from being a match for these people in terms of management, military operations, and even knowledge. But this did not prevent Gao Yao from understanding people's hearts. After all, he was a time traveler, and he had some basic knowledge. In addition, he had spent time in society, so he knew exactly what to say to whom.
