Qin Shi Big Boss

Chapter 123 "Lu's Age"

"In this way, basically all scholars will arrive in Qin State, and provide a large number of talents for our Qin State, while other countries suffer from lack of such ability, coupled with the loss of a large number of scholars, they will soon become weak." Ying Zheng said loudly.

"I didn't expect rice paper and sheep's hair to be of such use." Lu Buwei felt his throat still hurting sharply after feeling sad.

"Any force needs a lot of fresh blood. The six kingdoms in Shandong will not last long without blood replenishment." Ying Zheng said with a chuckle.

When Lu Buwei heard this, he was immediately shocked. He didn't expect that rice paper and sheep's hair could be as useful as Xu. He murmured to himself: "I think rice paper and sheep's hair are just rice paper and sheep's hair. At most, they are a little easier to use. The prince used rice paper With Yang Hao, it is possible to use this to create momentum and control changes in the world."

"Moreover, this action can make other countries no longer think that we are Qin of tigers and wolves, and basically reverse it." Ying Zheng continued.

Lu Buwei suddenly stood up and said in a low voice: "Listening to the prince's speech today is better than Buwei studying hard for ten years. Rice paper and sheep hair are just two items, and they can have such a huge impact. It has never been seen before. Today it became clear what a true quote is.”

The more Lu Buwei thinks about it, the more generous he becomes. It seems that he has seen the fury of the Six Kingdoms coming to Qin. What kind of ostentation should that be?

Everyone has said that the Qin State is the Qin of tigers and wolves, but from now on, who else will say that the Qin State is the Qin of tigers and wolves.

If it is said that Qin is a tiger and wolf, I am afraid that people will laugh at it, just like saying that Qin is not a tiger and wolf now.

"When the reputation spreads, the poor scholars from the six kingdoms of Shandong will flock to our Qin State. This matter will be left to the Prime Minister to decide where to go. As for the father's side, the Prime Minister will also declare it." Take a moment." Ying Zheng entrusted.

Lu Buwei didn't feel that there was something inappropriate, and he was very generous in his heart. He didn't expect that Ying Zheng would give him such an important task.

Working hard to lure Han scholars into entering the Qin Dynasty is the first step and the most critical link.

"The prince is actually able to look at me so seriously. Buwei will never dare to be disrespectful at all in the future." Lu Buwei was moved in his heart. He thought like this, and when he thought of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the past, he was even more in awe.

Xue Nu was even more amazed. She never thought that two simple tools, at best, could be regarded as a little more advanced, and a few writing tools could be used to control the general situation of the world.

One sweet potato, one potato, can make countries fight like fire and water.

A piece of rice paper and a hair brush can entice the poor and poor children from all over the world to come to Qin Dynasty.

After all, what kind of sharp vision can be so sharp that it can easily penetrate the appearance of things and deeply grasp the essence of things.

Then start from the essence and connect various seemingly unrelated things to control changes in the world.

The seemingly nonsensical behavior is actually deeply sloppy. There is no one in the world who can compare with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I am afraid that no one can.

Such a gifted young man, how can he not be admired.

Xuenv found that standing next to the ten-year-old boy, she felt very nervous for the first time, and the familiar gesture of pouring tea became messy now.Although she really wanted to comfort herself, her heart was beating wildly like a deer.

Lu Buwei was not at peace inside either. If the city hadn't been so deep, his expression would have changed drastically.

As soon as Lu Buwei returned, he distributed the sheep hair and rice paper in his hands. The diners saw this strange thing for the first time and found it interesting. After using it, they were even more excited. Soon, in less than half a month, Within a short period of time, the reputation of sheep's hair and rice paper spread throughout the world.

The double treasure of the study is what scholars from all over the world use to describe brush brushes and rice paper.

More and more scholars want to obtain this double treasure of the study, and the cost is getting higher and higher.

Especially some celebrities, they highly respect brush brushes and rice paper to the extreme.

Xunzi, who traveled in Chu State, got acquainted with brush brushes and rice paper, so he couldn't wait to give it a try.The juniors under the sect have never seen such a generous teacher, but they understand that if they are replaced, they may lose their wisdom.

Xunzi's poems flourished on the rice paper, and he went down the river with great momentum. Due to years of hard practice, even if the hair was changed, the handwriting was still very pleasing to the eye, flexible and elegant, but also polite.

"This hair brush is really good. As long as you control your strength, it will be as hard as it should be and as soft as it should be. It is a rare treasure in the study room. When I write with the hair brush, I feel very comfortable in all aspects. I have not felt that way for many years. This feels like it." Xunzi stroked his white beard and smiled.

Han Fei couldn't bear it anymore, so he also took out a brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write, but his handwriting was square and square, well-regulated, but elegant, with a vague aura of galloping upwards.

"I heard that the Yanghao was excavated by Prince Yingzheng of the Qin Dynasty. Although he is young, he is extremely clever. He has created sweet potatoes and potatoes before this. The Yanghao rice paper this time is not far behind." Han Fei Said happily.

After seeing that Xunzi and Han Fei had finished writing, Li Si knew that it was his turn. He picked up the brush, played with it, and then began to write slowly with a serious attitude. , There is a kind of arrogance of Taishan ahead, but fixed color.

"The words are like the person. Li Si has a calm personality, but he has lost his vitality. It would be nice if he could add a little more innocence." Xunzi saw it at a glance and said with profound meaning.

"Student, thank you for your education!" Li Si cupped his hands.

Seeing this, Xunzi could only smile helplessly, knowing that Li Si's character was like this, and unless there were major incidents, there would be no change.

"Let's talk about Qin's Ying Zheng." Han Fei changed the subject.

"Ying Zheng is extremely smart. Many of the things he does are not in line with common sense, but they are in line with common sense. In my opinion, this man is extremely terrifying, and he is from Qin, so he might be able to annex all countries in one fell swoop. "Xunzi gave Yingzheng a high evaluation.

Han Fei didn't dare to smile anymore, because South Korea was near Qin State, and once there was a war, South Korea would more or less be involved.Although South Korea is weakening, it is finally Han Fei's country. There are his father and red lotus there, and he can't really give up.

However, Li Si had a different mentality and thought: "My talent is mediocre and not as good as Han Fei. If I can join the big ship of Qin, I can go smoothly. Even the teacher's evaluation of Ying Zheng is so high. .”

Xunzi is an old man, and he can tell the age of the two disciples at a glance, but he doesn't say much. Teaching students according to their aptitude has always been practiced by Confucianism.

Zhang Liang obtained dozens of pieces of rice paper and two sheep hair through some channels, and hurried back home to start testing.

Arriving at the study room separately, touching the rice paper, feeling the texture on it, and wondering: "Ovary, what is this after all, the stripes are clear, the flexibility is the best, and it is not easy to break, and it is dozens of times better than sheep silk."

"It's not just dozens of times, but hundreds of times is possible." Zhang Liang chuckled, and then dotted the ink on the rice paper, and scattered them, one after another, black lotus flowers, began to bloom slowly.

"This rice paper has a very strong ability to absorb ink, and when it is spread out, it is not like sheep's silk. It spreads very quickly and rhythmically. It is obviously a good writing tool." He said in surprise when leaving.

"I got these from Qin State. I originally wanted to get more, but the rice paper that is popular in the market is really good." Zhang Liangru said.

"The state of Qin has made amazing moves many times, which is a sign of great prosperity." He gave a very pertinent assessment separately, "Compared with it, the six kingdoms of Shandong are becoming increasingly pessimistic, officials are greedy, and grandchildren are extremely extravagant. This is really not a case. Good sign."

"The State of Qin was already strong, but now it has a talent to win the government. It is even more powerful and powerful." Zhang Liang did not write, but drew a simple map on the rice paper, frowning.

Ji Wuye obtained a large amount of rice paper, piled it up like a hill, picked his nostrils, walked carefully and said: "This is the rice paper and brush that are famous all over the world. It doesn't seem to be very useful, but it is quite easy to light a fire."

The fat-headed businessman hurriedly said: "General, these are treasures, you can't use them, you can't use them!"

"I know you're greedy for money, why not just a few pieces of paper, I'll send someone to arrest a batch at the border later." Ji Wuye said angrily, crumpled the rice paper into a ball, and threw it on the ground.

"The rice paper seems simple, but it is of great use to those scholars, and now they are probably going to be crazy about it." Bai Yifei said coldly, his white fingers seemed to be integrated with the rice paper, "Ying Zheng It’s amazing to be able to research something like this, I searched for people for a long time, but I didn’t even see the quality.”

"The state of Qin wants to dominate the family, just like sweet potatoes and potatoes, and seek big profits." The businessman was full of fat, and his words trembled.

"I'm afraid it won't be so simple! Qin's Ying Zheng is very gifted and talented, and he won't spend so much effort for such a small profit." Bai Yifei didn't approve of this.

"Why is that?" The businessman didn't understand.

"I don't know." Bai Yifei shook his head.

"Whatever, I don't think this rice paper has much effect. At most, it can lure some poor people to go to Qin, probably to earn high profits. I didn't expect that Qin, a big country, would actually start a business as a businessman." Ji Wuye didn't pay attention.

"Speaking of which, the prime minister of Qin State has done business with me many times in the past, so this time it may not be what he came up with." The businessman said.

When several people heard this, they all burst into laughter, only Bai Yifei was frowning, as if he had predicted that a terrible storm would come.

More than a month later, a large number of dealers wanted to enter the state of Qin to purchase rice paper and brushes at extremely high fees.The rice paper in various countries has long been used up, and even the ink has been used up, which is extremely scarce.

Because of Lu Buwei's original business reasons, some old guys contacted him, hoping to get rice paper and brushes from him.As for the cost, it is not a problem, as long as there is stock, it will soon be snapped up by nobles from all over the world.

He was overjoyed and arrived at the Prince's Mansion again and saw Ying Zheng reading a book.

"Now the countries in Shandong are generous with their feelings?" Ying Zheng put down the agricultural code in his hand, looked at Lu Buwei and said.

"That's right, many people have contacted me in private, wanting to spend a lot of money to buy rice paper and brushes from me." Lu Buwei didn't dare to hide it, said truthfully, and immediately handed over, "Prince, what should I do next?"

"The opportunity is almost there, but it's not enough, and we need to add more fire." Ying Zheng signaled Lu Buwei to sit down and talk.

"What kind of fire?" Lu Buwei asked politely.

"It's very simple, that is, use five times the price of the original condition to auction off the rice paper and brush." ​​Ying Zheng said with a chuckle.

"Although they say they spend a lot of money to buy it, the current cost is already very high for many people. If it increases to five times, it is easy for people to criticize, saying that our Qin State is greedy, but it has a bad impact. " Lu Buwei frowned.

"Whether you are greedy or not is not the link here. It is very important for us to let those juniors from poor families come to Qin. Otherwise, no matter how much money we earn, we will not be able to match the price of those juniors from poor families." Ying Zheng He chuckled lightly.

"If you make the price so high and give them a bad impression, maybe they won't come to Qin." Lu Buwei was even more puzzled.

"No, there is a saying among the dealers. When people come, they all come for the benefit, and when they leave, they all leave for the benefit. Now, coming to Qin will be of great benefit to those poor families. How can they be willing to leave? What about it?" Ying Zheng said.

"Originally, Buwei made it clear that the meaning of the prince is to force them. If they don't pay five times the fee, it is still not enough to let them come." Lu Buwei woke up.

"You have to make them completely hopeless, so they will come to Qin willingly. Otherwise, the world will be far apart, the road will be difficult, and those who are unfamiliar with the place of life, although it is a grand occasion, they may not come to Qin." Ying Zheng explained patiently. road.

"Buwei understands." Lu Buwei nodded in agreement.

"Only we, the Qin State, can give them these things. Although the rice paper and wool brushes of other countries are the same as ours, they do not belong to them. Only the rice paper and wool brushes of the Qin State can be used by them. "Ying Zheng said calmly.

But there was an arrogance that looked down on the whole world, as if the Holy King was coming. It was so holy that Lu Buwei couldn't help but be startled. After a few days, Ying Zheng's ability has improved again. Last time, he just felt a little important. , but this time he was a little scared.

Seriously it's scary!
Lu Buwei became even more cautious, not daring to offend Ying Zheng, for fear of bringing disaster on himself.

"Although you auctioned it off at five times the price, you must have heard about the ability of the businessman to drive up the price. The grandson nobles can definitely afford it, but it is only used as a waste product, and the children of poor families have never bought it. .” Ying Zheng has already made a budget.

"The journey is far away, and there are some bandits and bandits on the road. Just the itinerary can roughly double the cost of rice paper and brushes. In addition, the dealers can lower the price and drive them together, and they can make amazing profits." Lu Buwei inquired about this very much.

"You can take advantage of this opportunity to sell one batch in the open, and then sell another batch secretly on the black market of various countries. But you have to grasp the quantity. If there are too many of these things, they will be worthless." Ying Ying Political entrustment.

Although this amount of money is not a lot, it is not very small either. Ying Zheng will not let himself make mistakes.

Moreover, Lu Buwei is a good businessman, he must know how to divide, and Ying Zheng is very relieved to entrust this matter to him.

"Buwei understands." Lu Buwei agreed. Although he was very tired, he was still enjoying it and was very happy.

This is a good opportunity to play in front of Ying Zheng, and Lu Buwei will not let this opportunity pass by.

For so many days, after thinking about it, Lu Buwei finally understood one thing, as long as he is loyal to Ying Zheng, there will be no problems.Playing tricks can probably hide King Qin Zhuangxiang, but everything can't be hidden from Ying Zheng's eyes.

"Just tell the truth every time, there is no point in playing tricks." Lu Buwei thought in his heart.

"In this way, if the younger generations want to obtain these things, they can only come to our Daqin, and if they want to give full play to their talents, they can only come to the field of Daqin." Ying Zheng said confidently.

"I just thought of one thing. So many juniors from poor families come to Qin, I'm afraid they will be uneven, and it may not necessarily cause bad influence." Lu Buwei raised his doubts, and then quietly answered Yingzheng. He knew that Yingzheng It must be able to give him a satisfactory answer.

No matter whether the answer is surprising or not, it is a reasonable, logical and powerful answer.

Because he is Ying Zheng, so he can.

"It's very simple. Generally, the juniors from poor families who come here are mostly seeking knowledge. All they need to do is to give them the environment to study hard. As for strength, there is no need to worry about it. As long as they are given this field, they will compete and fight together. Going on, the one who can roughly come forward must be a virtuous party." Ying Zheng said calmly.

"This is the same as raising Gu." Lu Buwei said in surprise.

"Prime Minister, there is no need to worry. Many things in the world are similar to this. Those who stand out are only a small group, and there are countless who fail to become talented. It depends on whether they work hard enough and have enough talent." Ying Zheng knocked. Get off the table.

"It turns out that for such a large number of young people from a poor family to be able to break out of the siege, there must be some capable people. I am a little too worried." Lu Buwei said.

"There is no threshold, that is, the threshold is short and long." Ying Zheng said sharply.

When Lu Buwei heard this, he muttered to himself, thinking about Ying Zheng's words, feeling that they contained great truth.Many things in the world have thresholds. It may seem like there are no thresholds for people from poor families to come here, but in fact they have their own thresholds.

"And it is very important that the atmosphere that can be gathered is similar to the Jixia Academy in Qi State, but I think our Qin State will be even more lively than it." Ying Zheng said.

Lu Buwei took a look, and soon realized that the gathering of poor families this time would be an achievement recorded in the history books, and he thought: "I have been the prime minister for so long now, except for helping the king return to the world, I have not done anything amazing .”

Afterwards, Lu Buwei held an auction in accordance with Ying Zheng's request and made a huge profit.Although the cost is high, the demand for rice paper and wool is higher. When merchants from various countries sell them, not only will they not suffer losses, but they will make more profits.

As for Lu Buwei, he had already secretly transported a batch of rice paper and sheep's wool, preparing to sell them through channels in various countries. The cost was much more than the original auction price, and far exceeded the original income from dried sweet potatoes.

Even if Lu Buwei does nothing, he can only monopolize rice paper and brushes, which can bring huge income.

There is always a time when rice paper and brushes are used up, and another batch can be sold at that time.

Various countries originally wanted to develop it, but later found that it was impossible at all, and they didn't even know what was in it. The place where rice paper and brush pens were made, there were people with traps, and it was not something ordinary businessmen could win.

They can only watch helplessly. As for spending a lot of money on research and development, it is the work that loses money like this, and no businessman will come out to do it.

As for the grandson nobles, it's even more impossible. They just think that the object of writing is nothing more than a big deal. They are just used as waste products for fun and to show off. They don't care about other effects.

Even if a person with foresight can roughly discern a thing or two, it is useless to suffer from the general trend.

Although they have foresight, they are not necessarily loyal to the end, and they don't understand it until the very end.

A piece of gold is a very appropriate description, and it is also evidence of the luxurious situation of nobles in various countries.

If it weren't for the fact that they were not extravagant to compare, the dealer would not have raised such a price for such rice paper and brushes. There is no doubt that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

Rice paper is too remote and difficult to obtain for the poor. Even ordinary bamboo slips need to be accumulated for a period of time before they can be roughly purchased.They knew the magical effect of Xuan paper, so they could only show their opposition, and after the opposition, they chose to enter Qin Dynasty.

During this period of time, Lu Buwei kept thinking about the issue that he had originally thought about in the Prince's Mansion, that is, if he wanted to leave his name in history, he should not be like an ordinary prime minister and just record in the history books, such-and-such prime minister, but should have a great name. meritorious service.

Although following Ying Zheng, there is indeed a chance to be famous, but he wants a bigger chance.

He was originally a businessman. Although he had a lot of money, he was at the bottom of society and had always been ignored.Being in such an environment since he was a child gave Lu Buwei a particularly strong desire to get ahead.

Although he used to be the prime minister now, the inferiority complex in his bones can never be wiped away.

He wanted to prove something and tell people all over the world that he, Lu Buwei, was not only a businessman, but also a famous politician and a scholar who could be admired by thousands of people.

The goal for a long time is to write a book, like the younger generation of the field house, that can contain a large amount of knowledge and spread it widely.

People in the Warring States Period were always very cautious when publishing, and they would not publish easily. Only those with a certain status could qualify for publication.Otherwise, if you publish it casually, it will only make people laugh and it will be sensational.

Although Lu Buwei doesn't want to be perceived that way, he still wants to publish it. As long as the book he publishes has a sufficient value, he will not be criticized. Instead, he will call it a classic and claim that his achievements are huge.

He had thought about the title of the book a long time ago, and it was called "Lu's Spring and Autumn", which covered a large number of allusions from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, analyzed the social conditions at that time, and contained some content about Dalu.
