Martial arts crossing begins with the story of looking for Qin

Chapter 26
Because of this gift, Xiang Shaolong was completely troubled.His tricks mainly come from watching TV in later generations. It is best to give a diamond ring, but the meaning of a ring in this era is completely different from that of later generations. Giving silver is expensive, but too vulgar.

Qin Qing is worth a lot of money. Her family is in the cinnabar business, which is the raw material for mercury. She is as wealthy as the Wu family and can support private soldiers for self-defense. Qin Shihuang is her big client and the earliest female entrepreneur in China.

In the end, Xiang Shaolong decided to do the opposite, and gave the cheapest garland, which he picked and made himself.

Qin Qingdao: "Shaolong, I feel very conflicted. I have rejected the pursuit of many dignitaries over the years, and my husband has not returned on the day of his wedding, and has become a model of contemporary women's chastity. Once you marry me, There will be a lot of resistance.”

Xiang Shaolong is a modern person, how can he care about these things, but now is not the time to talk about these things, he just asked: "Don't worry about other people, I just ask if you are willing or not."

Qin Qing has already fallen in love with Xiang Shaolong, so she is naturally very willing, saying: "I am willing! But..."

Xiang Shaolong interrupted: "It's nothing to worry about, it's enough if you want to, I'm the one to do other things."

Xiang Shaolong got up, happily embraced Qin Qing in his arms.

Seeing Qin Qing still hesitated, he smiled and said, "I'll go to the king and ask him to marry me."

Qin Qing said: "I'm afraid that others will talk about it, and you will have a bad reputation." In ancient times, infidelity did not only refer to women remarrying, but also men marrying widows.Qin Qing could not care about her own reputation, but she didn't want Xiang Shaolong's reputation to be damaged.

Xiang Shaolong said: "It's fine if I can't hear what I'm talking about behind my back. With my current status, I don't know who has the guts to talk about it in front of me."

Qin Qing said: "Shaolong, I am one of the 1 people who are willing to be your wife, and I can also live in the general's mansion, but we don't want to make it known to the world, let others talk about you behind your back, and ruin your reputation."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Qin Qing is the most talented woman in the world, I just want everyone in the world to know that she is my wife for Xiang Shaolong, and envy all the men in the world."

Qin Qing said: "But you married a widow!"

Xiang Shaolong said: "Qing'er, you are my wife, I can't let you live in the general's mansion with no name or distinction, so where will your reputation be? , no one can make you suffer the slightest grievance, I will kill anyone who dares to chew their tongue!"

Qin Qing looked at Xiang Shaolong's contempt for the world, for her, she was willing to bear the criticism of the world, wept with joy, hugged Xiang Shaolong tightly, unwilling to leave.

The next day, Xiang Shaolong went to see King Qin and talked about the marriage offer.

King Qin valued Xiang Shaolong and felt that they were a good match, so he was willing to fulfill them and give them a marriage.

However, just like what Qin Qing said, her identity is extraordinary, and the King of Qin wants to ask clearly: "Shaolong, Grand Tutor Qin is famous all over the world, and her remarriage will cause a great shock. As far as I know, there are also people in the royal family People have pursued Taifu Qin, but were rejected, have you thought about the situation you may face in the future?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "If I dare to marry her, I am not afraid of these things. The purpose of asking the king to marry her is to let her enter my general's residence in a good manner. I will never let her suffer any grievances."

Qin Wang is a person who values ​​affection and loyalty, and appreciates Xiang Shaolong's responsibility.

Qin Wangdao: "Teacher Qin's reputation not only comes from his talent, but also from his chastity of being a widow for many years. If you marry her, you will not be able to escape the comments of the world."

Xiang Shaolong said: "This is a matter between the two of us, it's no one else's turn to discuss it."

Listening to Xiang Shaolong's naive answer, King Qin said, "How could this be a matter between the two of you alone. Mrs. Qin is already a role model for all women in the world, so how can her remarriage not be discussed."

Xiang Shaolong said: "It's not worth encouraging widows to observe festivals for the dead. It's a personal matter for widows to remarry. It's up to people to make irresponsible remarks."

The King of Qin said: "Don't Shaolong think that women should keep chastity for men?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "Of course it is necessary to observe the festival for the living, but it is debatable to observe the festival for the dead. The true love is deep and righteous, and they refuse to remarry. Of course it is worthy of respect, but many widows remarry not because of feelings, but for survival. If Master Qin and I were not in love with each other, even if they did not remarry for the rest of their lives, they would have no worries about food and clothing. However, those poor widows do not remarry, and they do not even have the ability to survive. If they are not allowed to remarry, they are forced to die From a national point of view, population is now an important resource for the country, and it is a great waste for women of childbearing age to remain widowed and barren. Therefore, I think even if widows are not forced to remarry, they should be encouraged to remarry.”

King Qin said: "Shaolong's words are indeed very reasonable. But I'm afraid they can't stop people from all over the world from discussing."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Those so-called flirtatious talents who take concubines and prostitutes themselves, but go to preach that widows who can't live on to observe chastity, maybe they are among those who harass widows, they are especially shameless. Their own sensuality is not related to the country. It's useless, but I like to sit there and point fingers at the world. I don't pay attention to such people and their words. Majesty, if I dare to marry Mrs. Qin in a fair manner, I will be able to withstand all pressures , besides, these are not pressures in my eyes."

King Qin knew that things couldn't be as easy as Xiang Shaolong said, but he appreciated Xiang Shaolong's affection and responsibility more and more. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Shaolong is a good man. Okay, I'm just like you Wish, bestow marriage."

Xiang Shaolong kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The King of Qin said: "There is one more thing I need to hear Shaolong's opinion. Lu Xiangguo has a guest, a Korean named Zheng Guo. This person is proficient in river and canal affairs. , can build more fertile land to reach one million hectares, how does Shaolong feel?"

Xiang Shaolong knew that the Zhengguo Canal was South Korea's plan to exhaust the Qin State, in order to exhaust the Qin State's national power and be unable to attack South Korea, so he asked: "Did Your Majesty agree to Lu Xiangguo's construction of this canal?"

Qin Wang said: "Not yet, but I think that if this canal can be built, it will be of great benefit to the country."

Xiang Shaolong said: "But Your Majesty, this project will cost a lot of money. It will not take ten years to complete. It will definitely block my Great Qin's progress. And who does Your Majesty want to be in charge of this project?"

King Qin knew that no matter who was in charge of this matter, his power would increase greatly.Moreover, Xiang Shaolong has always been estranged from Lu Buwei, and seems to always want to draw a clear line with him, but he still said: "This matter was proposed by Lu Xiangguo, and his disciples presided over the design. If you want to say that it is responsible for this matter, Lu Xiangguo Most suitable. Could it be that Shaolong disapproves of the construction of this canal?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "No. The development of farmland water conservancy projects will benefit the present and benefit the future. This canal must be built. The most important thing is that we must take this opportunity to train our own water conservancy talents. If this canal is successful, we must create it. The pioneer of Yinjing irrigation will have a profound impact on future water conservancy discoveries. We must have our own talent pool, but at this time we cannot spend all our national power here. Let him make detailed plans, drawings, and budgets first. A detailed plan must be made for the manpower and material resources consumed. As for the person in charge of this matter, why don't you let Zheng Guo enter the court directly, and be an official of our Daqin, and be directly responsible to the king. If you need anything, you can directly apply to the king. Your Majesty personally controls the scheduling of all resources."

King Qin saw that Xiang Shaolong was afraid of Lu Buwei being responsible for this matter, and was very afraid that he would control the wealth and power of the whole country.He himself didn't want a powerful official to appear, but he still hesitated and said, "But I don't understand water conservancy."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Lu Xiangguo also doesn't understand water conservancy. Your Majesty controls the financial power in order to allocate national resources more reasonably. This water conservancy project is very important. It can be developed as a priority within the scope of its ability, but it cannot stop other projects because of it. developments."

Qin Wang said: "The Shaolong's method is more appropriate." It is of course appropriate to strengthen the power of the monarch and limit the power of the prime minister.

"Crack!" Lu Buwei slammed the wine glass in his hand angrily, "Damn it! Xiang Shaolong ruined my big business."

Lu Buwei originally wanted to control Qin's economic lifeline through Zheng Guoqu, but he didn't expect that the king of Qin would transfer people away and take charge of it himself. He got nothing except recommending an engineer.He received the news that it was Xiang Shaolong who sabotaged it.Not only that, the king actually gave Xiang Shaolong and the widow Qing a marriage.

Widow Qing is the dream lover of Daqin and even men all over the world. Lu Buwei has the power to rule and the public, and his status is noble. Naturally, he has thoughts about Widow Qing, but not only did he not get the goddess, but the goddess wanted to marry his deadly enemy. He was really furious.

Mo Ao, the number one advisor by Lu Buwei's side, said to Lu Buwei: "Master Xiang, it is said that his Wu family can gain a foothold in Daqin because of Master Xiang. Why did Shaolong repeatedly spoil the matter of Master Xiang?"

Mo Ao is Lu Buwei's think tank, 35 years old, tall and thin, with a long face, goatee, rather delicate, and gloomy eyes.He is conceited that his intelligence is unparalleled, and he also has unreasonable thoughts about widow Qing. He taught Lu Buwei how to increase his power by building canals. Xiang Shaolong hated it to the bone.

Lu Buwei said: "Xiang Shaolong directly climbed up to the crown prince, and was appreciated by the king. Not only is the Wu family not used by me, but it seems to be more alienated. Xiang Shaolong wants to be equal to me!"

Mo Ao said: "Mr. Xiang, Xiang Shaolong can't stay. He not only wants to be equal to Mr. Xiang, but also wants to step down Mr. Xiang. We are not enemies with him, but he has repeatedly spoiled Mr. Xiang."

Lu Buwei asked: "What trick does Mr. Mo have?"

Mo Ao said: "It's really hard to find any weaknesses of this little dragon. He came to Xianyang and didn't stand firm, so he ran to guard the border. The bitter and cold place in the northern border made him really make military achievements. Once back to Xianyang , when the military situation was in crisis, he was sent to the enemy's country, and he also relieved the siege of Hangu Pass. He devoted himself to serving the country, so the king valued him. Later, he lived in seclusion in Xianyang, did not make friends with important ministers, and did not hang around. The land of love and moon. Apart from his wives and concubines, he only hooked up with the widow Qing. Above the court, the king seems to trust him more, and it is difficult to get in touch with him in private. For the current plan, it seems that the only way to fight him is to compete with him in an upright manner. There is a chance to kill him." He said and looked at a man with a tall nose and deep eyes, whose stature was stronger than Xiang Shaolong's.
