Days are everlasting

Chapter 43 Cooperation

Although Xia Ji has no sense of existence in An Guojun's backyard, but in this era, those who can fill the harem are noble women anyway, and there are still confidantes.

With the reliable subordinates brought in by his mother, and hearing about Qin's domestic attitude from them, Yiren finally felt a little bit more secure.

But this is far from enough, because he made friends with Mr. Pingyuan, and he has unfortunately been involved in the storm of Zhao's internal struggle, and the outermost edge of the storm is often the most dangerous.

An alien who does not have enough status can easily become a victim in this kind of struggle.

Xia Ji sent Yiren to take care of his daily life. There were not many people, only seven or eight, but it was enough for now. At least, in the inner courtyard, Yiren didn't have to worry about keeping any secrets. It was passed on to Zhao Guo's dignitaries to know.

Wang Lan, who was appointed by him as the housekeeper, is an experienced old man who is considerate and considerate. With him around, Yiren's life is much more comfortable.

After seeing the stranger, the Queen Mother Zhao has nothing to say. I heard that she is not in good health recently. Under such a premise, Zhao Guogongqing's mind is attracted by the affairs inside the palace walls. Come find him in trouble.

Although when Yiren saw Huiwen, she looked like an ordinary old woman in later generations, but her age, I have to say, was actually very young.

Zhao Wangdan's age is only a little bit older than Yiren's. It can be seen that Huiwen can only be Yiren's mother at this age, not his grandmother. She is quite old at such a young age. Think about her physical condition not good.

Yi Ren darkly guessed that the old lady—although her age is nothing in later generations, but she is a veritable grandmother in this era—wouldn't live long.

In such a big environment, Qin Guo sent things to Yiren, but no Zhao Guoren came to disturb him, and Yiren's small life was very peaceful.

On this day, Wang Lan hurriedly reported to the stranger that there was a great businessman from the Wei Kingdom who asked to see him.

A great businessman in Weiguo, without citing his name, someone else can confirm that this person should be the "rare goods to live in" Lu Buwei.

Compared with King Qin Zhuangxiang in history, Yiren is much more famous now, but it still cannot change the fact that he is a proton. Since Lu Buwei believes in "rare goods can live", it is impossible not to come to him to try his luck.

Being able to become a capable minister who is highly trusted by King Zhuang Xiang, although Lu Buwei is a wealthy businessman, his attitude towards strangers is quite polite, even respectful.

Lu Buwei's surname is Jiang's Lu family, that is to say, he is a descendant of Jiang Qi. Maybe 300 years earlier, his family might have been the clan and nobles of the Qi State.

But he is already a businessman now, and businessmen talk about profits. Although there are many businessmen in this era who have participated in the political affairs of various countries with their own financial resources, they cannot be compared with nobles after all.

Because of this, coupled with the fact that businessmen trade all over the world, even when interacting with powerful people, they are humble yet arrogant, like Lu Buwei, who is quite respectful when meeting strangers for the first time. It will only appear in some places, for example, the state of Lu, which is not as good as before, can be said to be one of the countries that pay attention to Zhou etiquette in the world.

Regarding Lu Buwei's performance, Yiren can only say that if this is broadcast live in later generations, he will definitely double-click 666.

If you just look at the performance, you really can't see the appearance of a black heart at all, the black hearted businessman Lu Buwei is big.

The stranger is the king and grandson, and his conversation is naturally elegant, and Lu Buwei also echoes his topic, and the two seem to have a good time as a guest and host.

However, when Lu Buwei left Yiren's house, both he and Yiren heaved a sigh of relief, the other party was really difficult to deal with!

Now that Lu Buwei has decided that the rare goods are good to live in, he will not give up easily, and in his opinion, if he wants to push away the helper who sent him to the door, he can be called as stupid as a pig!

Of course Yiren wants Lu Buwei's help, or rather, he needs Lu Buwei's help.

Why can a foreigner in history be established as the heir by Prince An Guojun?

Because he flattered Mrs. Huayang, he finally made his father look up to him and recognize his talent!

It would be a tragedy if no matter how talented he is, he is not valued by the superiors, or if it arouses suspicion instead.

Why would Mrs. Huayang recognize a different person as her heir?

When he first traveled through time, he thought it was just that she was not as simple as her son, and tried his best to curry favor with her, but in the end, he fell into the end of being "distributed" early.

Mrs. Huayang will choose another person, not only because he is inconspicuous, but also because Lu Buwei spent a lot of money to clear up the relationship!

There are many people who want to curry favor with Mrs. Huayang, why should she treat an ordinary prince and grandson differently?

In later generations of Xiuxian novels, there is often a saying called "law and wealth couple land". Although the specific direction of "wealth" in different worldviews may be somewhat different, the importance of wealth is undeniable!

If Yiren is a high-ranking son, such as his highly respected elder brother Yingxi, then in addition to the help from his mother's family, there will be many courtiers and merchants who flatter him to offer "gifts" to enrich his wealth. His internal treasury, however, unfortunately, the real problem is still this--other people are not favored, the mother's family is not strong, and there is not so much money at all.

Therefore, Lu Buwei, who has strong financial resources, is enough to save Yiren from many detours.

It's not that Yiren doesn't have the ambition to spread his reputation among countries with his own ability, so that Mr. An can think of his son and make him his heir, but this is not an easy task.

In this era, there are mainly four famous princes in various countries, namely the Four Princes of the Warring States Period who had a large number of followers.

Are they the only four sons and grandsons of corporals in all countries?

Of course not, it's just that their publicity work is very good.

In this era, because of the different carriages, road widths, and the large number of checkpoints in different countries, the traffic conditions are extremely poor.

Inconvenient transportation means difficulties in dissemination of information.

The four sons of the Warring States Period all belonged to rich people with affluent fiefdoms. They had a family background and could afford to support their followers. If they had more followers, they would be able to make a name for them and spread their reputation.

Didn't the four princes of the Warring States period do anything bad?

There must be, but no one publicizes it, and not many people know about it, so it can be counted as not having it.

Looking at the country of Zhao, Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao, a conscientious and conscientious prince who is deeply trusted by the King of Zhao, not to mention his work ability, his professional attitude surpasses that of Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng by a lot. However, he is unknown in other countries, and occasionally someone mentions it. , It is really embarrassing to add names like Zhao Wangdan's uncle and Pingyuan Jun's brother.

Unless the alien does something earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods, otherwise, if he wants to expand his reputation through natural communication, then he can really sleep.

According to historical records, after Qin Shihuang's father had Lu Buwei's help, he became famous in the country of Zhao in a short period of time, although there is no record of what he made his name for - because these things probably cannot be counted. What a great achievement—but such a shining evidence is enough to explain the importance of money.

Lu Buwei came to the door in person, and the intention of cooperation was obvious, but the other person didn't agree, because he didn't want to be controlled by Lu Buwei.

Lastly, he and Lu Buwei should also be in a cooperative relationship, not a situation where he is under the control of others.

It's ridiculous to say that if Lu Buwei wants to control Yiren, he must let Yiren owe him. To put it more vulgarly, he is willing to use all his wealth to support Yiren without asking for anything in return.

For Yiren, who is close to a poor and white son, this is a good deal with huge profits, which is a great thing, but Yiren, who is afraid of Lu Buwei like a snake and a scorpion, is unwilling to have such benefits.

It is easy to owe someone, but difficult to pay back.

Lu Buwei is not an idiot for expanding his family business to the present level, and he also knows what other people think.

If Yiren was taken seriously by the Qin State, he could still try to control this prince and grandson, but Yiren is still a capable person, who can make friends with Lord Yuan, and is not stage-frightened in front of Huiwen. It's easy to control, and it's not good for both parties to make things happen.

Lu Buwei made up his mind, and then visited Yiren a few times. During this period, Yiren could naturally feel the changes, so the relationship between the two became closer day by day.

From the very beginning, it is determined that the relationship between the two is that they are collaborators, and it is safer to be close to the monarch and his subjects than the relationship between the benefactor and the beneficiary.

After getting acquainted, if Lu Buwei wants to support Yiren, he will naturally show his energy, but recently Yiren has not shown much limelight, and it is not yet clear how powerful Lu Buwei's money offensive is.

When the new year came, Lu Buwei sent his servants to give gifts to the strangers, which was regarded as a celebration.

He is not from Zhao country, he just came to Handan to do business, and the stranger is the progeny of Qin country. They really didn't feel much of Zhao country's New Year atmosphere, but what happened in Zhao country can be used as their talk.

Although Lord Chang'an entered Qi as a hostage, the relationship between Qi and Zhao was not bad, so King Qi sent envoys to visit Zhao. It was not a big deal, but a courtesy visit.

The Empress Dowager Zhao delivered a speech in front of the envoys of the State of Qi, "The year is safe, the people are safe, and the king is safe." Confucianists praised the old lady's benevolence—of course, it was Mencius who held this view. The disciples and grandchildren of that faction, and the people on Xunzi’s side did not comment, and the most pedantic Confucian disciples said that "the common people are as safe as the king", which is not in line with the etiquette system-Although the envoy of Qi State said it was true, he was not sure in his heart Why are you so angry?

Thinking about it, it's really great that a courtesy visit to an old lady can make such a thing happen.

A stranger from later generations: What the old lady said makes sense!But why did you have to choose such a time?Was it intentional to say this in the face of Qi Guo?

Lu Buwei: Gongsun, since you said this... let's make trouble!

The author has something to say: What Zhao Weihou said was recorded in the Warring States Policy. The old lady’s words still make sense, but Qi Guo visited politely.Later, it was said that so-and-so is very virtuous, is he still alive, and so-and-so is very bad, did King Qi kill him instead of reusing him?Now look at the feeling that Orz is biting the king of Qi

By the way, I didn't think of saying it until the third volume hahaha.The protagonist of each volume is not one person, it is a story belonging to nine different people, but the length is a bit shorter, and the format is similar to fast travel.
