The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Qin Wang three years, autumn.

Prince Zheng of the State of Qin presided over the opening ceremony of the canal, and named it after Zheng Guo, the builder of the canal, and called it Zheng Guoqu.

The king of Qin wrote an article to commend him, and the inscription carved by Jinshi masters in three months was erected at the water intake. Zheng Guo, a Korean, left his name on the land of Qin forever.

When the prince in formal attire read the name of this artificial channel, some people thought they heard it wrong, but when the red silk fell to the ground and the name of the channel appeared in front of them, whether it was Zheng Guo himself or all the craftsmen on the scene The people and onlookers were stunned.

What, how could it be this name?

Before this, no one had ever told them that they would name this channel after Zheng Guo, and in the past ten years, whenever this channel was mentioned, it was named after Jingluo Canal, and everyone thought it was the her name.

They wouldn't be so surprised even if this canal was named after King Qin.But now, the state of Qin is naming a canal of the state of Qin in the name of one person, or an ordinary craftsman, a commoner who is not of the state of Qin. Is the king of Qin crazy?Still confused?

Of course King Qin is not crazy, nor is he confused, King Qin is still in his prime.

Zhao Zheng closed the silk script used to recite his father's documents, and he slowly narrowed his eyes, which were hurt by the too hot sunlight, and he knelt down as far as he could see.

That place was where the craftsmen lived, of course Zhao Zheng didn't let them kneel down, all this was done from the bottom of his heart, these craftsmen paid homage not to his prince Zhao Zheng, but to his father.

Craftsmen are also a kind of businessman. They sell their craftsmanship for wealth, so they are welcomed but not respected in any country.

Of course, the same is true of Qin, and even the situation of Qin is more serious than that of other countries, so that the number of craftsmen in Qin is seriously insufficient.The craftsmen present basically came here for money. They also knew in advance that Qin State's own country would suppress the handicraft industry, and they were also prepared.

Even after entering Qin, they found that life was not as difficult as they imagined, but these craftsmen knew very well that Qin was no different from any other country in this respect, but so what?dignity?Respect?That is something that only people who are full after eating are qualified to think about.

As artisans living at the bottom, their primary goal is to survive first, and to keep their families alive, so they don't think so much.

However, this is the state of Qin, the state of Qin that despises craftsmen the most, but named their canal after a craftsman, which shows that the King of Qin recognizes the efforts of these craftsmen, and he does not intend to treat their craftsmanship as a commodity. Goods and goods are cleared, and even a label representing a person is not allowed to own.

Zhao Zheng is not very able to understand the mood of these people, but he can be driven by this emotion. This name is indeed hard-won.

In fact, there was a fierce quarrel in court about the fact that this canal was now named Zheng Guo Canal. The reason for the quarrel was simple. How could Zheng Guo deserve to be named in Qin State?Still in the land of abundance in Qin

The pre-Qin period was still an era of blood-related nobles, and it is far from the later one who can shout "Is the prince, general and minister determined by blood?" 】There is still a long and not short distance to the era.

Although Qin and Chu were considered talented compared to the other four eastern countries, in the final analysis, the concept of blood relationship still cannot be lowered.

The surname Ying happened to be a common surname in ancient times.

Although they have been crushed to the dust, the Ying family never gave up. It is the foundation brought by their surname - we are born extraordinary.

Therefore, although it is rarely shown, the clans of the Qin State really look down on these outsiders in essence, and it happens that these outsiders are the most important ones for the Kings of Qin.

So this creates a contradiction.

The quarrel in the court of Qin State was not only aimed at Zheng State. On this occasion, he was just an extremely insignificant introduction. The right to speak in the next few years.

In fact, the struggle between these two groups was by no means a day or two. It had been brewing since Shang Yang entered the Qin Dynasty and even earlier in the Bailixi era, but now it has reached its peak because of the existence of Lu Buwei.

why?Because Lu Buwei means too much to other people.

If the former Bailixi, Fan Ju, and Shang Yang were at the level of gold managers, then Lu Buwei is at the level of president with shares. How big is the difference?The former can say that the profit growth is not high enough to get out, and the latter is still one step away from the board of directors.

The cake was so big, if he wanted to come in, he would have to squeeze others out, which naturally aroused the reaction of the Qin clan.

The current situation of the Qin State is that Lu Bu, the representative of the Keqing, controls the political power, while the military power is mainly controlled by the Ying clan. However, the Ying family also has factions. The King of Qin is not stupid. To prevent accidents, The few winners who hold military power are conservatives rather than radicals, and the tiger amulet that can mobilize troops is held in their own hands, which makes the two maintain a balance.

This balance was broken when Yiren fell ill before. When Lu Buwei asked for the name of the canal, he received fierce opposition from almost half of the court. In order to object, they even brought out the saying that Zheng Guo was a spy.

Until the last stranger made the final decision, he wrote down the three characters Zheng Guoqu.

Yiren said to his son who was with him: "Even if it is a spy, I dare to use it."

"As a king, employing people must be able to bear all the results of serving people. If you lose the bet, you can only blame yourself for not knowing people clearly."

"It was my grandfather's decision to use Zheng Guo in the first place, and it is my widow's decision to continue using him." The young King Qin stood in front of him, turned around and smiled: "If my widow uses it, I will trust him and exempt him from all penalties." This is the way to use people." At this moment, he is not only his father, but also the monarch of the most powerful country on this land.

His eyes looked in the farthest direction like the Qin kings of all dynasties, and they embraced the whole world with their open hands.

Behind him is the clear sky and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of their Great Qin.

Zhao Zheng had never seen such a father, nor did he think that he would see this group of craftsmen lying on the ground crying after issuing this order.He hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at a position in the crowd. His elder brother was looking at him with a smile, and nodded slightly when he saw him, with encouragement in his eyes.

Zhao Zheng knew that his elder brother didn't know what he was going to do, but no matter what he wanted to do, his elder brother would support him as always.

The boy took a breath slowly, and he made a decision.

He climbed down the steps little by little, walked down the high platform built so that everyone could see him clearly, and walked step by step to Zheng Guo, who bowed to the ground with the utmost etiquette, and then he handed over the document in his hand.

Zheng Guo was stunned, but his body reacted faster than his brain, and the weather-beaten man immediately raised his hands high to welcome the brocade book.

Any decree issued by the palace, especially for individuals, will have two copies, one will be kept in the treasury and sealed as a comparison, and the other will be issued to individuals, but if it is this kind of decree, it is not the case. Take it away, but Zhao Zheng handed over this unique document to Zheng Guo.

Zhao Zheng put the silk book in the hands of the man raised above his head. The silk book made with the most exquisite craftsmanship did not match these hands. And the rough hands pulled out the thread.

He glanced at the man's rough and wide hand. Zheng Guo could feel that Crown Prince Qin put something in his hand, but Zhao Zheng didn't walk away, and he didn't dare to join hands, so he could only hold it high. It's like a stone statue.

The joints of the index fingers and thumbs of both hands were swollen and protruding, and there were scars all over the fingers, as well as the marks left by the repeated recurrence of frostbite.These were not a pair of pampered hands. Zhao Zheng even saw half of his left thumb nail cut off by a sharp weapon, and the nails on his right hand were also very short, almost sticking to the flesh, with an unhealthy color.

He slowly let go of his hand, and said to Zheng Guoqu, "I hope that Zheng Guoqu is your beginning, not the end."

Zheng Guo froze. He could feel the weight in his hands, and he could also feel that his heart was suddenly empty. Someone took something out of his heart, and then put some heavier and more precious things in it. went in.

He closed his eyes and kowtowed, two lines of hot tears rolled down.

It's worth it, really.

He originally came to find a job, but he spent ten years on this land. He brought his family to the Qin State, and treated himself as a sinner in South Korea, maybe even a sinner in the world. Now , he felt that everything was worth it.

All the struggles, all the tortures, all the pressure and all the burdens, all turned into tears in this sentence, Zheng Guo felt that all the exhaustion in his body was gone, like a new life.

Zhao Zheng raised his head slightly, met Lu An's gaze from afar, and then smiled.

As brother said.

Waiting is an adventure with the greatest trust.

His grandfather chose to believe in this foreign plumber, his father chose to believe in that foreign businessman, and he would naturally choose to believe in someone he felt worthy of trust.

If you really believe in the wrong person...

He closed his eyes slightly, thinking of the hysterical curses of the clansman surnamed Ying who was dragged out of the court that day, and a defiant smile hung on the corner of his lips.

Then believe it wrong.

As his father said, he is still young, he can afford to gamble and lose.

Three years, in winter and October, the King of Qin and other people looked for a companion for Tai Zizheng, and several people were selected by Tai Zizheng, all of whom were the sons of Ke Qing. The Qin royal family showed unprecedented importance to Ke Qing.

Elder Zong entered the palace overnight, and left the palace in silence after a discussion with a different person. After that, he could not express his neutrality after retreating.

In that month, Qin Guoxue Palace was opened to recruit talents, and there were many applicants.

In the eleventh month of winter, King Zhao sent Lian Po to attack the State of Yan and take three cities.

In the twelfth month of winter, the king of Wei dismissed Lord Xinling from all his offices.

In four years, in the second month of spring, Zhao Lianpo attacked Wei and took Fanyang City.

In the spring and March, King Zhao died and Zi Yanli was established. The new King of Zhao ordered Wu Xiangjun Le Cheng to replace Lian Po as a general.

In the same month, Lian Po defected to Wei.

In Xia Wuyue, envoys from the State of Yan, who were frequently harassed by Zhao Jun, sent envoys to Qin with heavy gifts. Qin Yan continued to conquer, and Qin Bing entered Zhao State in a large scale. With his hands in a defensive posture, Yan was able to breathe.

In the next month, Yan sent envoys to Qin again, expressing his willingness to send Crown Prince Yan to Qin as a hostage. Qin accepted the ally's offer and sent veteran Qin Zhang Tang to Yan to form a rivalry with Qin to encircle Zhao.

However, Zhang Tang refused the order, even if Xiangbang Lu Buwei went to persuade him personally, it was impossible. When Lu Buwei was in a dilemma, the concubine Gan Mao asked to see him, saying that there was a way to persuade him. Lu Buwei was doubtful, so please give it a try. Tang Guo was really persuaded to go to Yan to become a chancellor. When Qin Yan entered the honeymoon period, Zhao Qi chose to fight against each other.

The land of China, which has been slack for several years, started to fight again. Just as everyone was focusing their attention on Qin, Qin suddenly sent invitation letters to invite players who are good at black and white chess to enter Xianyang. The king of Qin will hold a black and white chess competition. The winner gets a hundred gold.

A row of question marks flew over the heads of the six countries that originally thought that the Qin Congress was going to send troops. What is going on with Qin?

Reversi is a board game that has quietly flourished in recent years. The gameplay is very simple. There are two pieces on the opening board. color.

If you can’t find a chess piece that can change color, you can’t make a chess piece. This kind of game is very simple to get started, and the making of chess pieces is also simple. Rich people have their own way. So the promotion is very fast.

Children aged three or four can play it, but it is not easy to play it well. It requires calculation skills, so once the game was withdrawn, it quickly became popular.

Both the traffickers and pawns and princes and generals were very interested in it, and there were even chess players who became famous because of it, but no one thought that Qin would actually come up with such an activity for playing chess.

... King Qin is too boring, right?

However, thinking about it, those who were somewhat confident in their own chess abilities rolled up their bags and intended to enter the Qin Dynasty, and when these people came back, they brought back books with indigo blue covers with strange faces.

"This, what is this?" A scholar looked at the thin booklet presented by his student with trembling hands. The student understood his thoughts, coughed dryly, and said, "Sir, this is... paper."

"The writing of Qin State is based on this." The student's face was full of confusion. He looked at the unbelievable gentleman and said in a difficult way, "Qin State... It is said that this thing has been popularized. The students went to the Qin State Academy to ask for advice. Some books are all made of paper. They, they even published a book for Xun Qing...Students from the state of Qin, everyone has a copy."

The old gentleman looked at the "Quotations from Xun Qing" that was taken out by the students, and his vision went dark.

The big "lose——" flashed across his face.

The second thought is, Wu Na Xun Kuang, what virtue and ability can actually publish a book!

Xun Kuang He De He Neng will not mention it for the time being, but it must have something to do with him accepting a good student.

In fact, Xun Qing did not plan to write a book. Only scholars who could not find an heir would write books to pass on their ideas.In fact, if Yan Hui had not died young, I am afraid that Confucius would not have written a book in the last years of his life.

Xun Qing felt that although he knew more and more complicated things, he could still pass on one subject from one student to another, and there was no need to write a book.

Moreover, writing a book is such a serious topic, how can you write casually according to what the students say?

This thought continued until the student put the snow-white rice paper in front of him.

Lu An laid out paper for his husband and said to him: "Your Majesty said that he will engrave your master's theory and stand it at the gate of the school for students to copy. Bring it back. In this way, more and more people can understand what Mr.

Of course, in addition to ideas, you have to bring some private goods, and commercially praise Qin, this Lu An doesn't need to say that his teacher understands it.

——Then we, Qin, can also export culture!

——Then I will be able to spread Confucianism all over the world!

Both teachers and students thought at the same time.

But Xun Qing quickly calmed down, and he stretched out his hand to touch the blindingly white paper on the table, "This thing, is this thing expensive?"

"Expensive?" Lu An tilted his head, "It's made of waste wood and waste soil. It requires a little labor and some cheap materials, so it's not expensive."

Seeing the stunned expression of Mr. Lu An, he fetched the inkstone for grinding and said, "Isn't there a lot of land in Qin State that had brine on the surface before? That treatment...well, after one or two treatments, it will turn into caustic soda, and the plant fodder will be put into it. Very good for bleaching and softening."

...What, what is caustic soda?Xun Qing, a liberal arts student, showed a little bewildered look rarely.

Lu Xiaoan rubbed his chin, and said with some pride, "I don't know why it's called this name, anyway, I think this name is very nice!"

The first original creator can choose a name as he pleases!
