Be a sick and weak noble son in Daqin

Confucius praised Duke Mu as "the overlord is small, and he should be the king of the world" because of the eclectic use of people by Duke Mu. Non-Qin people, including those who were born as slaves, were able to display their talents in the Qin State at that time, and then Duke Mu dominated Xirong.

Govern the country and seek the virtuous, regardless of background.

The people of Qin have always taken it as their mission to restore Duke Mu’s hegemony. They have been oppressed for nearly a hundred years, and they have been so dazed that as long as the old is good, the Duke of Qin wants to reform in the Qin country today, and what he wants to do is to break the current domestic chaos.

Young Master Qian went to Liyang Palace to discuss how to let the scholars all over the world know that Qin State is seeking talents. The major cities in the Central Plains spread the news by word of mouth.

Even though he knew that there was a big change in the Qin State, he was still a little excited when he heard the news. Wei Ji listened to Gongziqian worrying, rolled the cooked meat skewers in the chili powder and asked, "I need help ?"

Is there anything more suitable than a businessman for spreading news?

Young Master Qian slapped his head, yes, why didn't he think of this when discussing the matter?

Originally, I wanted to pick out some smart people from the army to spread the order of seeking talents, but it was a helpless move after all. Too many strong men leaving Qin in a short period of time will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Shandong countries. If there is a serious caravan to help It couldn't be better.

Most of their caravans from the Qin State were doing business with the grasslands. It was easy to leave the Qin State, and they were afraid that they would be targeted by the Central Plains merchants if they showed their flaws.

"Let the person with the order to seek merit go back to Diqiu with me, and I'll take care of the rest." Wei Ji thought for a while, then glanced at Xiao Jia who was standing beside him with his head down, and continued, "It's just this time It will be warm for a few days, and it won’t take too long to set off tomorrow.”

The carriage is definitely not as fast as the fast horse, and the sharpening of the knife does not miss the woodcutter. When he returns to Diqiu to arrange things, the time lost on the road can be recovered later.

"I can't do it tomorrow. I'm in a hurry. Wait for another two days." Young Master Qian frowned unconsciously, looking at the gentle young man in front of him, he suddenly felt a little bit reluctant, "How can I leave before I pack up my things? After the candidate is selected, let Qu Liang come and discuss with you before leaving."

"It's fine if you're not in a hurry." Wei Ji replied softly. If this person is not in a hurry, he won't be in a hurry. If he leaves in a few days, he can pack his luggage properly. Qin State is so far away from Wei State, and the road cannot Have been eating dry food.

The matter was of great importance, and Young Master Qian was not happy eating barbecue, thinking that it was not too late, so he took a clay pot and filled a lot of meat, and asked someone to bring the horse and went straight to Liyang Palace.

"Pepper powder and chili powder." Wei Ji filled him with the ground powder, and shook his head helplessly as he watched the tall man rushed out with a big jar in his arms.

When the source of danger left, Xiaojia breathed a sigh of relief and quietly moved back, seeing the excitement written all over their son's face, "Master, can we leave early?"

Wei Ji nodded with a smile, and asked him to finish the remaining meat on the stove before getting up and going back to the room, "I'll go to work, remember to clean up after you finish eating, if there are no accidents, you may be leaving in a few days. "

The little guard jumped up happily, not only because he could eat meat again, but also because he could go back to the country of Wei. He had been thinking about it for a whole winter, and finally he was about to leave.

Although I am a bit reluctant to part with the big guards in the mansion, it is more important to go back. Anyway, the young master wants the caravan to enter Qin, and the people in the caravan can send things over in the future. The Central Plains is much more interesting than Qin.

The young man was overjoyed. Seeing that his young master ate a little, he went back to his room, collected the untouched raw meat and sent it back to the kitchen, asked the cook to prepare a bowl of porridge, and then happily ran to the pavilion to leave. The guards from far away greeted them.

They are friends who have wrestled in the snow, so of course they have to share it together.

Xiaojia took care of the things needed on the road, and Wei Ji needed only the tall bamboo slips piled up on the bookshelf in the room. He had a lot of seeds on him, so he couldn't go to the field to test every kind, which would be a waste of time.

Sort out the habits and yield of the seeds into books by category, set aside a few plots for the care of an experienced farmer, the first ones he sorted out are all strong and suitable for planting in Qin, even if he is not around, they can be planted smoothly come out.

The bamboo slips are recorded in the characters of Qin State and Wei State respectively. He was busy with these when he didn’t go out this winter. Qin characters are really not that easy to learn, and he has to adapt to the strength of writing on the bamboo slips. Checking the fonts for errors is also considered busy. It's too late.

All these things are memorized in his mind, and dictation is prone to mistakes. Fortunately, he learns things quickly, otherwise he would be really illiterate in Qin State.

Thinking that he lived for so many years, no matter when he heard words of praise, he never thought that he would turn over here and start learning from the simplest characters.

Wei Ji sighed pretentiously, and put the bamboo slips written in Qin characters on one side, and put the bamboo slips written in Wei characters on the other side. The first copy is left here, and he wants to bring the second copy back. Weiguo.

If something like seeds wants to be planted in a large area, it will definitely not be kept secret. Even in the remote Qin State, he does not want to hide it. After planting high-yield grain, the people in the world will ultimately benefit from it, and they only protect a certain prince. Wouldn't the country's interests come here for nothing?

The sweet potatoes in the garden have already grown, and the radishes that have just been planted will be harvested in three or four months. It takes time to promote, and his selfishness is to use this time to strengthen the relationship between Wei and Qin.

The unification of the world is something that will happen a hundred years later. What will happen at that time will be discussed at that time. What he has to do is not to suffer the people of Wei State during the process of Qin State becoming stronger and going east.

The Qin people were too intimidating when they fought, and the strength of Weiguo was not enough for them.

The sky darkened quickly, and people lived according to the sunrise and the sun set and rested. After the night, they stopped working if they could not work. The oil lamps were dim and the eyes could not see clearly, and more people could not afford oil lamps.

Wei Ji squeezed his arms, and left the rest until tomorrow to clean up. He was about to go out to see what was going on outside, but when he turned around, he saw their little guard coming over with a bowl of porridge.

"Are you hungry, my lord?" The young man put the bowl on the table, lit up the wick next to it, and then sat down cross-legged beside him, his eyes shining brightly, "I know you are not full, so Xiaojia, I am very hungry." With foresight, Brother Dao made sweet potato porridge, and added wild honey, it must be super delicious."

There are not many sweet potatoes left in the mansion, they are all prepared for his young master. Before the ones in the yard are ripe, even young master Qian doesn’t have to eat them. The porridge slowly boiled from sweet potatoes and rice is very delicious. It is used for young master’s health. It could not be better.

"Our Xiaojia is the most caring." Wei Ji boasted very face-saving. He is too weak. A few mouthfuls of roast lamb sprinkled with chili powder are enough to satisfy his hunger. , The next half a month will have to be spent on the bed.

I didn’t think about it, but I realized that I was a little hungry when I saw the porridge. At this time, there was no white sugar and rock sugar. I only had honey and maltose to feel the sweetness. The production of maltose required a lot of grains. Occasionally, when I saw a wild bee nest in the mountains, I took the risk of being stung by bees to get some wild honey back to satisfy my appetite.

Compared with the deliciousness of honey, the little pain is nothing at all. People living in this land will eat it forever, and it has never changed for thousands of years.

Wei Ji finished the porridge slowly, then realized something later, got up and turned out a piece of clean bamboo bamboo slips with the word "Zhejiang" written on it, there is sugarcane in Chu State, sugarcane can be used to make sucrose, and I can get some in the future if I have a chance When you come back, if you don’t eat it yourself, you can sell it to the nobles of various countries at a high price. If you can make it, it will be a lot of money.

Xiao Jia looked at their young master with his face propped up, and found that he had no intention of continuing to write, and then he was relieved to clean up the case. It was not allowed to write after dark, or his body would not be able to bear it.

The energetic little guard sent the bowl back to the kitchen and then ran back quickly, snapping his fingers and reporting what he had packed, most of which were food, after all, it was useless to bring other things back.

Wei Ji listened for a while, and reminded with a smile in his eyes, "There will be Qin Bing walking with us, prepare more food, don't run out of food halfway."

"I understand, I understand. They have a lot of food. If you don't have enough, you can buy it when you pass by the city. Did you forget that we brought a lot of money when we came out?" Xiaojia blinked in doubt, looking at their house. The young master's face was full of bewilderment, revealing a really so expression.

If you run away from home, you have to look like you are running away from home. How can you run away without enough money?

Wei Ji really forgot that they still had money. He didn't go out all winter, and there was no place to use money here. The shovel-shaped coins used by Wei Song and other countries near Zhou Wangji, Qin State does not have its own currency now. They are too poor to have the ability to mint coins. There is not much currency in circulation in the country. Even if there is, it is brought from other countries. Here more is barter.

Since they have money with them, they don't have to worry about anything. Isn't it easy to make money and spend it?

Wei Ji's mood improved in an instant, he tidied himself up and drove Xiao Jia to rest, while there was still a bed to sleep in, he quickly recovered his energy, and after a while, he could only be jolted on the carriage.

The sun rises and the moon sets, the moon sets and the sun rises, the sky turns white, and the morning will soon come to the world again.

Young Master Qian lived directly in the palace at night, and the two brothers talked for a long time in the study. After squinting for a while, the sky was slightly brighter, and then hurried back with people, but they seemed to be the only ones who couldn't sleep because of excitement. The young man with the heavy responsibility is still asleep at the moment.

Xiao Jia, who got up early, looked nervously at the few people standing in the yard, hesitated for a while, and then turned around and wanted to go in and call their young master. If he hadn't been sure that Duke Qin and young master Qian had no ill intentions towards them, he would have thought that The National People's Congress wants them to arrest them in the morning.

Wei Ji had already woken up after hearing the movement outside, but he just couldn't get up in a daze, until he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he managed to look over, "What's wrong?"

The young man's voice was soft and sleepy, and Xiao Jia couldn't help scolding himself in his heart. It's not the time for the young master to get up on weekdays. If he had known, he would have asked Mr. Qin and the others to wait outside for a while. up.

I think so, but I still have to say it, I can't let them stand in the yard all the time.

Wei Ji rubbed his forehead to wake himself up. With Xiao Jia's assistance, he washed his face, put on his clothes, and combed his hair before pushing the door out.

The gazes of the few people in the courtyard were burning, as if they could penetrate people. It was a bit penetrating in the early morning. No wonder Xiao Jia would enter the house. The young man subconsciously looked at Young Master Qian, paused for a moment, and then went out. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Restraint, restraint, you're scaring our Ji'er." Young Master Qian yelled to the side, pretending that he had nothing to do with these guys, strode forward and tried to make a gentle expression, "How is Ji'er resting?" ? Are you not disturbed by them?"

Wei Ji: ...

It doesn't have to be that way.

Duke Qin looked at the big brother's smile that could scare a child into tears, shook his head and pointed at the young man in black beside him, saying, "This is my trusted confidant Jing Jian, who is responsible for escorting you and Xiao Jia back to Weiguo."

Wei Ji looked at the strange young man not far away who clasped his fists and saluted him and nodded. At this time, he sent out his most powerful cronies. It seemed that the situation in Liyang City had stabilized.

Jing Jian, if I remember correctly, should be the one who recommended Shang Yang to Duke Qin.
