I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 11

There is only one prerequisite for Zhiyao to keep the fruits of her hard work, and that is to become the heir to the position of Patriarch of the Zhi family.

Then there is a cruel fact that Zhixuan needs to return to heaven first, and after Zhishen becomes the head of the Zhi family, Zhiyao must be confirmed as the heir.

So, at least before Zhiyao passed away, no matter what Zhiyao did, no matter how optimistic he was to become the heir, his identity was not confirmed for a day, or even if he was confirmed as the heir, it would not be the day when he became the head of the family. With the arrival of Zhiyao, all efforts may be to lay the foundation for the family. It is unknown whether Zhiyao can enjoy the fruits.

"If possible, I still hope that my grandfather can live longer." Zhiyao thought to herself.

Of course he wants to take power as soon as possible, but he hopes that his elders can live longer. Then, once Zhishen is gone, with Zhishen's weak character, Zhishi will no longer have the power of "Yuanrong", and he will definitely fall into Weakness period.

Regarding how many more years Zhibi can live, Zhiyao, as a junior, does not seem optimistic.

Childhood misfortune made Zhibi mentally ill. His experience was not as bad as Zhao Wu's, but he couldn't cheer up like Zhao Wu.

This time the conflict between the Zhao family and Handan Zhao has already explained the problem.

In exchange for the capable and tough "Yuan Rong", it is premised not to be a peacemaker, and it is still possible to join one of the conflicting parties to make profits.

Zhixuan pretended to be deaf and dumb all the time, and did not take any action against Zhao Yang's imprisonment of Zhao Wu. He also watched Zhao and Han fight against Fan and Zhonghang. Everyone saw Zhishi's weakness.

"There are a lot of gossip, but there is a master who should not speak for Zhengqing." Taihu felt humiliated.

People who can't be tough are not suitable to be the "Yuan Rong" of the Jin State. On the one hand, they cannot be respected (feared). The nobles are even less optimistic that such a "Yuan Rong" can lead everyone to seek benefits from other countries.

There is a saying in later generations that goes, "Being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes." When it was Jin's turn, it became "I can't bring everyone to eat meat, so hurry up and count the ball."

It is completely conceivable how many nobles of the Jin Kingdom cursed Zhixuan to die quickly, so that Zhao Yang, who looked tough, would lead them to eat meat.

Zhiyao thought to herself: "If I wasn't a member of the Zhi family, I wouldn't want to have such an official. From a certain point of view, Jin people have similar thinking to Maozi, and they really hope that the country will be governed by strong people; The difference is that most of the time Jin State at least talks about unspoken rules, and will wait for weak leaders to die, and will not resort to means.”

Taihu just came from "Xintian", and while bringing some supplies to Zhiyao, he also brought news that Zhishen asked Zhiyao to return to "Xintian".

It has been three years since Zhiyao left "Xintian".He is nine years old this year, and the time has come to 498 BC.

In the past three years, except for the intensified conflict between the Zhao family and the Handan Zhao family, and the increasingly bad relationship between the Zhao family and the Han family and the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, the rest of the state of Jin has not experienced any major incidents.

The state of Jin is considered to be in a state of internal strife, and no major incidents have actually happened in other countries. Generally speaking, most people can enjoy peace.

Zhishen has been to "Father Huang" many times, the longest time he stayed for half a year, and more often he came for about half a month and then left again.

And during these three years, Zhiyao stayed at "Father Huang" as her "inventor". Not only has the paper been tinkered with, but she has also improved the writing brush...that is to say, Meng Tian's job has been robbed.

With the paper and the improvement of the brush, Zhiyao found that she had to improve the ink.

Why even the ink needs to be improved?The reason is, of course, that ink was usually used to write on bamboo slips or wooden boards, and was rarely used to write on silk scripts. Once it was written on paper, other issues had to be considered.

All in all, Zhiyao has become an "inventor" in the past three years, and she has created countless things, but quite a few of them need to be kept secret, that is, they cannot be disclosed to others.

It's not that they are afraid of being imitated. At present, there is actually such a thing as "patent rights", which are not bound by laws, but are completely guaranteed by secular rules.To put it simply, if you dare to imitate, you must be prepared to be beaten. If you can't bear it, you deserve to be beaten to death, and you will be reviled by generations.

"Would you like to go to 'Xintian'?" Zhiyao asked.

Lao Tzu said three years ago that he only wanted to stay in Jin for a year, but after three years, he still stayed in "Father Huang" as a guest.

In addition to teaching Zhi's group of teenagers, he usually discusses with Zhiyao about "Tao follows nature" whenever he has the opportunity.

In the beginning, Zhiyao was able to talk about "Tao" with Lao Tzu, but later Zhiyao's limited knowledge was emptied, and she hid when she could, and changed the topic if she couldn't.

Lao Tzu will get very comfortable service in Zhishi, have new research topics, and have all the resources he wants, so he will stay for a long time.

The number of schoolmates transferred by Zhiyao to "Father Huang" has increased to two hundred. Most of them cannot be cultivated into elites, after all, only a small number of people can become talents.

In addition to learning all kinds of liberal arts knowledge, Zhiyao will personally serve as an instructor to train military related.

And Zhiyao is actually picking out some of the skills she learned when she was a soldier in her "previous life", and then teaching them according to the needs of the current era.

The father called, and he didn't say why, Zhiyao couldn't allow him to refuse.

"Xintian" was the last place Lao Tzu wanted to go after arriving in Jin. He learned that Zhiyao was leaving "Father Huang", and then thought that the knowledge that should be taught had been taught, so he bid farewell to Zhiyao solemnly, saying He is going back to Chu State.

Zhiyao tried to persuade him to stay, and seeing that Lao Tzu was determined, he presented a gift and arranged for family warriors to escort him.

What Ling Zhiyao didn't expect was that Lao Tzu turned back by himself!
Before the snow season came, Zhiyao arrived in "Xintian".

Returning to "Xintian", the first thing Zhiyao did when entering the mansion was of course to say hello to her grandfather. While waiting outside the door, she heard the speech inside.

Around the summer of this year, the big event of "falling into the three capitals" happened in the country of Lu.

The background is that some of the retainers and dependent nobles of the state of Lu lost control, among which "Fei", "Tai" and "Cheng" were most out of control. He also privately expanded the city and raised the city wall.

Confucius, who had just been promoted from Zhongduzai to Sikou, didn't know what he was thinking, so he ran to Lu Junsong to propose severe punishment.

A long time ago, Lu Jun could not actually control the Lu State, and most of the power fell in the hands of Jisun, Shusun and Mengsun in the public clan.

Lu Jun of all generations has always wanted to take back his power, but every generation of Lu Jun has failed.

Of course Lu Junsong did not dare to make decisions privately, so he asked Sanhuan and got his consent.

With the acquiescence of Lu Jun, Song and Sanhuan, Confucius, who was promoted to Si Kou, found that he had become very powerful in a trance. Not only did he have what he wanted, but he even had an army that obeyed his orders. Zilu led his troops and set off.

"Confucius originally wanted to increase the power of Lord Lu, but he was used by Uncle Ji and Meng Sun. Duke Lu's family is also stupid. This move will definitely cause chaos in Lu, and the winners will be equal!"

Zhiyao heard the stranger's speech, thought for a while before recalling that it was Zhao Yang's voice.

what's the situation?
Zhao Yang actually came to Lao Zhi's house?Rare customers!
