Chapter 324 Fan Zeng: I just went to take a look

As a result, as soon as they approached this place where ghosts and gods appeared, they smelled the smell of sulfur.

As Taoist warlocks who have been immersed in the art of alchemy for decades, how could they not smell this familiar smell, and how could they not know what this place in Longxi actually meant?
Sulfur is a commonly used material for them to refine elixirs, and it is also one of the most important auxiliary materials for them to deceive foolish men and women.Many visions of "ghosts and gods showing signs" are inseparable from the assistance of this kind of material.

Do ghosts and gods still need this?
This is something that is inexplicable in the eyes of ordinary people, and they suddenly smell a familiar smell!
I just didn't expect that someone would turn around and use it on me today.

"How can I prove it?"

With one word from the broad-faced old man, the carriage instantly fell into silence.

Yes, even if there is nothing wrong with what I have speculated, the key question is how to prove it?How did the "congratulations from ghosts and gods" appear out of thin air?

This method is unheard of!

"Let's go and see Brother Fan first - he was here at the time. He witnessed it with his own eyes and may be able to get a glimpse of what's going on..."

But when the two people arrived at Fan Zeng's residence according to the address provided by the alliance, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.The copper lock hung high outside the door, and dead leaves were everywhere. It was obvious that no one had lived there for some time.

Probably seeing them lingering at the door, a skinny old man in his 60s or [-]s soon came around with two young men.

"I heard that you are the captain of the team here. Who are you? Why don't you stay here..."

"It turned out to be Captain Wen Wu. I traveled here with my friends. I heard that my old friend lived here, so I came here to look for him. I dare to ask Commander Wen Wu if he knows where the owner of this place has gone..."

The broad-faced old man smiled, bowed his hands, and stepped forward to talk.

Seeing that they were two old people, the captain's guard had already dissipated a bit. Now that he heard that they were old friends of the owner here, the look on his face became a bit friendly, and he handed over his hands and apologized.

"It turns out he is Mr. Fan's friend. I'm disrespectful -"

The broad-faced old man and the old man called Brother Ziwei couldn't help but look at each other with a hint of surprise. It seemed that Fan Zeng was quite prestigious here.

"Mr. Fan is kind-hearted. He is currently helping out at the Daqin Royal Charity Hall. He has not been back to rest for several days..."

"Daqin Royal Charity Hall?"

The two couldn't help looking at each other.

Seeing the two people's expressions, Captain Wen, who came after hearing the news, couldn't help but straighten his back, and the two young people behind him couldn't help but look proud.

"Exactly, this charity hall was built with the money and efforts of the eldest grandson of our family. The eldest grandson of our family is so kind and generous..."

When he mentioned this, Commander Wen Wu's face lit up and he was talking happily.

The two people inquired carefully and found out that His Highness the Emperor's grandson had actually contributed money to establish a charity hall to specifically help those who were widowed, lonely, hungry and cold, as well as homeless.

It is also quite large in scale and covers a wide range of areas. Today, tens of thousands of people have benefited from it.

Fan Zeng went there to help during this period of time.

Reviewing the situation, registering household registration, sorting into categories, dispatching manpower, and distributing materials are all complicated and complicated, and it is not that simple to handle them well.

"Two gentlemen, you may not know that the charity hall of Emperor Changsun, according to the gentlemen in the hall, is just a trial run now. His Highness the Emperor Changsun will promote this kind of charity hall to the public within this year and next." Everywhere in the world..."

Seeing surprise in the eyes of the two men from time to time, the captain couldn't help but smile while holding his beard.

"To be honest, the two children behind me are now helping out at the Emperor Sun Charity Hall..."

"Disrespect, disrespect..."

The two of them couldn't help but glance at the two young men behind Wu Zhang. The two young men became more energetic and looked at them with much kinder eyes.

"I don't dare to be an elder and make unreliable praises. I am just following the footsteps of His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, and doing small things within my ability..."

The two couldn't help but look at each other.

They all saw the confusion in the other party's eyes. Da Qin, which was famous for its cruelty and harshness, actually used the royal family's money and efforts to set up a charity hall to help poor people!
The two couldn't help but fell silent.

They cupped their hands in a daze and declined Captain Wen's warm invitation. The two of them turned around and left, taking their own talismans and finding a nearby guest house that looked relatively clean.

In the guest house, the two of them sat opposite each other, and they both saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.

Compassion is something that everyone has. Helping widows and widowers, and helping poor families have existed since ancient times. However, before that, most of them were individual actions, and such actions have never been heard of.

Throughout the Six Kingdoms, successive monarchs have claimed to be considerate of the people, but who has ever really provided such tangible benefits?

They knew that once this kind of charity hall really spreads throughout the world as the old man said just now, the reputation of the Qin royal family will definitely change like never before.

After all, the inheritance of the country and the hatred of the country and the family are all too far away from ordinary people.

As far as the eyes of ordinary people can see, there is only food, clothing, housing, transportation and three meals a day.They will praise whoever gives them food and clothing.

When the time comes, can people like myself be able to maintain the situation?

"Are the beggars and refugees near Xianyang really not driven away, but taken in and rescued by the so-called Royal Charity Hall?"

The broad-faced man frowned and looked at his old friend beside him.

The old man called Brother Ziwei remained silent.

"Do they think that by spending some money to help some poor people and doing some good deeds in the name of the royal family, they can change the general trend of the world?"

The broad-faced old man glanced at his old friend, who was obviously thoughtful.

"The First Emperor is the home of the world, and he insists on implementing the system of prefectures and counties. This move will undoubtedly abandon the people of the world. If this method is not changed, the people of the world will abandon it. Charity halls that only invite people to buy people's hearts can only deceive some people." Besides being a foolish man and a foolish woman, what role can it play?”

Having said this, the broad-faced old man smiled as if to encourage himself.

"Although His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun saw the fear of the people and tried to change the people of the world's impression of the violent Qin Dynasty, he still did not have enough understanding after all. He did not understand that the so-called people's heart does not lie in the foolish men and women, but in the scholars of the world. Got it The heart of the world’s scholars is what truly wins the hearts of the people—”

"Ordinary people are ignorant and easy to provoke. They are driven east to the east and west to the west. They are like chickens and dolphins. They don't know how the light of fireflies compares with the bright moon. If there are no scholars to guide and help, What’s the use?”

The old man, who was called Brother Ziwei, was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he replied with a sigh or a sigh.

"The emperor's eldest grandson is still kind after all. It's a pity..."

The broad-faced old man said nothing. He naturally understood what his old friend was feeling sorry for.

It's a pity that such talents were born in the family of the First Emperor of Qin!

But small benevolence and small righteousness are not enough to save the world.

The world has been suffering from the Qin for a long time. If the violent Qin is not eradicated, the people of the world will be blamed at every turn and will be in panic all day long. If the violent Qin is not eradicated, people with lofty ideals will hold on to their wisdom and skills, but their learning will be useless. The glory of the family of the Ding Dynasty will not be inherited, and the blood will be lost. Food sacrifices cannot be kept.To fight for the sake of the world is a matter of great justice, and there is no room for maneuver.

"There are many people in the world who are seeking fame and reputation, and there are also many villains who are working hard to commit corruption. Perhaps -"

The old man known as Brother Ziwei pondered slightly when he said this.

"Maybe we don't have to rush to see Brother Fan. We might as well take a walk around here in the next few days to see what this charity hall is like..."

The broad-faced old man nodded.

"good!"

……

"Mr. Fan, I would like to ask you, what is righteousness in this world..."

Charity Hall.

It was already dark, and most of the people who were close to home went home to celebrate the New Year with their families. On the contrary, Zhou Yin and Fan Zeng, the young and old, had no friends in Xianyang and were too lazy to bother others. They simply stayed and got together. Drink together.

At this time, in the side room, Zhou Yin, who was already drunk, took the wine bottle, stood up and filled it for Fan Zeng, then knelt down on his seat upright, looking straight at the person in front of him for a moment. Fan Zeng.

"Is it a righteous act to help those in need?"

Fan Zeng shook his head slightly.

"This is the little righteous ear."

Zhou Yin asked again.

"Having the common people in your heart, being benevolent and loving others, everything you think and do, are all for the common people's food and clothing, and the welfare of all people in the world, is this a great righteousness?"

Fan Zeng was silent.

He naturally knew the meaning of Zhou Yin's words, but he couldn't answer and didn't know how to answer.These days, he was dragged by Zhou Yin to work in this charity hall. He knows better than anyone how many hungry people this charity hall has helped. He also knows better than anyone that this charity hall, which bears the name of the Qin Royal Family, What exactly does it mean.

Zhou Yin picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Before I was younger, in Jiujiang, I saw the harsh laws of Qin, and saw the First Emperor attach great importance to Legalism, promote prefectures and counties, abandon scholars, and cut himself off from the world. The wise people thought that Qin would never last, but since the emperor's eldest grandson—— Ahem, I came to Xianyang, met the emperor’s eldest grandson, and felt that the Qin Dynasty might not have a chance of survival..."

Zhou Yin looked at Fan Zeng who was silent and his tone was a little more sincere.

"Sir, you are very talented and wise, and you have been in Xianyang for a long time. You should know who the emperor's eldest grandson is. I think, if the emperor's eldest grandson can inherit that position, what will the future of Great Qin be like..."

Fan Zeng put down his wine glass and looked at Zhou Yin calmly.

"I don't know what the future of Great Qin will be, but I know that Great Qin's harsh punishments and laws will not change, nor will the current situation of Great Qin's promotion of prefectures and counties and the exclusion of hundreds of families -"

After saying that, Yu Yi sighed inexplicably.

"Little brother Zhou, I know that you have high hopes for His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson, but this Great Qin has been suffering from long-standing shortcomings. As early as when Duke Xiao re-employed Shang Jun's reforms, the root of the disease had already fallen into place. Now, it is like a galloping carriage. I can’t stop, even the eldest emperor, Sun Tianzong, a genius with great talent and strategy, may not be able to change..."

Zhou Yin held wine to celebrate his longevity.

"Appreciate further details……"

Fan Zeng sighed, raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Qin used the learning of Legalism to encourage farming and promote military merit. The prime ministers must be from the states and counties, and the fierce generals must be sent to the soldiers. Therefore, the people of Qin are happy when they hear about the war. Whenever there is a battle, they will sacrifice their lives and march forward bravely. The six countries in the world cannot resist each other, so Qin conquers the world. However, now that the world is unified and the world is our home, this set of unfavorable policies has actually become a shackles for the Qin people..."

With that said, Fan Zeng stood up and walked to the window, looking at the twinkling stars outside with a feeling of emotion and pity.

"The scholars of the Six Kingdoms who have no military merit and cannot be promoted to nobility are excluded by the imperial court and cannot be reused. From now on, the opportunities for the old Qin people to obtain military merit will gradually become rarer, and ordinary people will no longer be able to advance to the higher ranks. , do you think such a court will last?"

Zhou Yin held the wine glass and walked to Fan Zeng.

"The imperial court has implemented the policy of imperial examination..."

Fan Zeng shook his head.

"The Great Qin Dynasty has been promoting Legalism for more than a hundred years. Everyone in the court is a follower of Legalism. Do you think a mere imperial examination can reverse this pattern in a short time? Do you think followers of Legalism can sit on the throne?" Are you willing to give up your power if you are to die?"

Zhou Yin was speechless.

Fan Zeng sighed.

"Now that the First Emperor is still alive, the universe is arbitrary and majestic, and the people of the world dare not disobey him. However, the First Emperor has toiled all year round and will not live long. Now, with his weak body, he can last for a few more years. Once the mountains collapse, The world will be in chaos..."

Having said this, Fan Zeng gently patted Zhou Yin on the shoulder.

"Although Xianyang is good, it is not a place to live for a long time..."

Zhou Yin held the wine glass and hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything more. Instead, he smiled and changed the topic.

"Let's talk about the future things later. Let's do our best now. No matter what, what we are doing now still has some meaning. By the way, the emperor's eldest grandson may come in person tomorrow. You Do you want to meet together..."

"Old man..."

Just as Fan Zeng was about to shake his head and refuse, he heard Zhou Yin speak slowly and calmly.

"It is said that the emperor's grandson believes that teaching people to fish is worse than teaching them to fish. Simple relief and distribution of food and clothing are not enough to change the situation of the poor people. During these days, he has taken the time to compile several packages that can help those people become rich. The method is ready to be demonstrated to us in person, and we will personally seek our opinions at that time..."

When Fan Zeng reached his lips, he secretly swallowed it back.

"it is good--"

He was very curious about how His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, was not a god. He could think of any way to make those people who were so poor that they could no longer afford to eat rich.

I have already thought about it. When the time comes, I will say nothing and remain silent. I will just hide in the crowd and watch the excitement and gain insights.

Let's see if the emperor's eldest grandson really has a solution, or if he is just talking nonsense.

……

Zhao Ying didn't know that Fan Zeng was now in Xianyang and had sneaked into his charity hall and was preparing to see how much he was worth. At this time, he was looking at Xiaoyaosheng in front of him with interest.

"Tell me what you have in mind..."
