my grandfather was qin shi huang

When the Mohist disciple heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then shook his head with some uncertainty.

"This doesn't seem to work - the Emperor Taisun told us that it's impossible. In fact, we have also tried it privately, especially after seeing the successful grafting of these fruit trees, but none of them succeeded..."

Speaking of this, the leading Mo disciple still had a trace of regret on his face.

After all, after seeing the magical effect of grafting, how could they not have such a bold idea?
Even if the emperor's grandson had said no, they would not give up.

However, all the experiments failed without exception, and no one survived - even barely surviving. This forced them to give up their fantasies and reinvest their energy into the rice itself as mentioned by the Emperor Taisun. Cross up.

Except for a few of them, almost all the Mohist disciples who were following Junzi were sent out. Taking the drawings of the "wild rice" that the emperor's grandson asked people to induce, he went to all parts of the country, with manpower, to search for suitable wild rice.

But as the Emperor Taisun said, this thing is based on hard work and opportunity.

A group of people have been busy all spring, but they can't find a suitable rice seed. Fortunately, for this, the emperor's grandson has opened up unlimited support in terms of manpower and material resources.

Nowadays, Mohists are in charge of almost all the counties where rice is grown.

When necessary, these Mohist disciples can even directly mobilize local people such as "Tian Dian" and "Tian Shifu" to ask them to cooperate unconditionally in the search for rice seeds.

And what they need to do is patrol the fields all day long to protect suitable rice seeds!
After Tian Jing and Yong Chi heard his answer, the disappointment on their faces was visible to the naked eye. The Mohist disciple seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he subconsciously added.

"However, even so, once this kind of hybrid rice is successfully developed, it will definitely change the situation of starvation in Guizhou. According to the Emperor Taisun, this kind of hybrid rice is likely to achieve a yield of more than ten shi per mu... "

Yong Chi and Tian Jing couldn't help but glance at each other subconsciously.

If he hadn't seen the magic of the grafting technique just now, and the Mohist disciple in front of him kept using the banner of the emperor's grandson, he would have almost suspected that this young man was talking nonsense.

Not to mention more than ten stones, even if the output can be increased to ten stones, or even doubled, it will be a huge event!
"I don't know, can you be accommodating and let me see Juzi? I'll tell Qijun Tianjiazi Tian Jingqiu to see me -"

Tian Jing was really happy to see Liexin.

The leader of the Mohist family shook his head regretfully.

"Jiuzi has been concentrating on studying the art of hybrid rice recently. Word has spread that except for the emperor's grandson, no one else has been seen. I'm afraid I won't have time to meet you..."

Tian Jing was unwilling to give in and was about to continue to pester him when Yong Chi couldn't help but tugged on his sleeve with his hand.

"Brother Tian, ​​this is not urgent. If you want to visit, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future - we should go back and make some adjustments before we take the exam..."

Tian Jing finally recovered from his enthusiasm for hybrid rice.

He reluctantly glanced at the fruit trees in front of him, and then at the rice fields that were about to mature in the distance, and then followed Yong Chi and turned back three times.

Seeing that he had gone a long way, he still couldn't help but stop and turn around to look around.

Yong Chi knew that he was still worried about the hybrid rice incident, so he smiled and expressed relief.

"Brother Tian, ​​why are you so anxious? Since they say that the art of grafting and hybrid rice all originated from the hands of the emperor's grandson, what else do you have to worry about?"

Seeing that Tian Jing hadn't come to his senses yet, Yong Chi smiled.

"Brother Tian's family is well-educated, and it goes without saying that he is talented. When I go back this time, I only need to study hard, and I will be sure to be named on the gold list. When the time comes, I will definitely be summoned by the emperor's grandson in person. When the time comes, I will directly invite the pope's grandson. Wouldn't it be even more important? direct?"

When Tian Jing heard this, he was startled for a moment, then clapped and laughed.

"Shan! If Brother Yong hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten this!"

……

Zhao Ying didn't know that during the imperial examination, during a lunch break, two candidates actually wandered into the experimental field on Tian'an's side, and they were holding back their efforts to see him.

At this time, he was taking Feng Quji, Chen Ping and Xiong Xin to inspect the examination room on the liberal arts side.

The imperial examination was a ceremony for recruiting talents for the imperial court.

Although, nowadays, most of those who come to take the imperial examination are from wealthy families or children of aristocratic families whose families have fallen into decline, and there are not many truly poor families——

But in today’s situation, how can we care so much?

What the court wants now is to appease these people as soon as possible, win their support, and bring these people under the control of the court, instead of excluding them from the court and letting them make trouble.

As for the rest, we can only figure it out slowly.

Before Zhao Ying's vigorous promotion of free education under the banner of charity hall did not see real results, the so-called boycott of noble families, win over children from poor families, and prevent local families from becoming powerful were all empty talk.

Needless to say.

The education of this era is elite education. Even if the Great Qin Dynasty emerged with the strategy of farming and war, and emphasized military merit and nobility, there was no way to change this fact.

Even though Zhao Ying was well aware of the dangers of this situation, he still had to compromise temporarily.

Da Qin is the people of the world. Compared with absorbing the children of the Six Kingdoms into the imperial court, the consequences of the imperial court being filled with all the children of Guanzhong are even more terrifying.

Zhao Ying and his party, except for the halberd man Zhui Gu and the chariot commander Zhang Liang, did not bring any bodyguards, nor did they notify any officials.

But even so, with the height of him and Zhui Gu, they attracted the attention and scrutiny of many people as they walked along. In addition, at this time, the afternoon exam was about to begin, and the examiners who were escorting the test papers discovered that they After that, they all stopped and bowed.

"Excuse me, gentlemen. I'll just take a look with your right minister and the others. You don't need to pay attention to me. Just strictly abide by the rules and regulations -"

Zhao Ying waved his hand very gently, indicating what they should do.

Everyone then bowed and retreated.

There's an examination room nearby.

Tian Jing couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he wanted to rush out on the spot to see the emperor's grandson. But fortunately, his sanity is still online. At this time, the examiner in the examination room has already handed out the test papers. If he really dares to rush out, not to mention asking to see the emperor's grandson, I am afraid that the opportunity to take the imperial examination will be cancelled. .

The exam in the afternoon was the most important policy for the imperial court.

The topic of today’s policy discussion is as straightforward as ever.

"In today's world, how to further gather the hearts of the people of the world and create a peaceful and prosperous era that will last forever, I will try to discuss it using the methods I have learned."

This proposition is so ambitious!

Tian Jing couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.

However, since he was willing to come all the way to Xianyang to participate in the imperial examination, he had already made some preparations in his heart, and naturally he would not behave like an old minister of Qi State.

Therefore, he took a deep breath, frowned, and thought for a long time before he solemnly made the first stroke. "It is said that food is the most important thing for the people. I believe that the imperial court must win the hearts of the people all over the world, unify the north and the south, and create a peaceful and prosperous age for eternal prosperity. Farming must first be established. If you want to develop farming first, agriculture must be established first..."

Soon, his mind was completely focused on the test paper in front of him, and he expressed his talents and ideas on it. He did not notice at all that the examiner who was walking back and forth in the examination room with his hands behind his back had quietly disappeared. He stood quietly behind him for a long time.

In another examination room, Yong Chi was also writing furiously.

However, he is a Taoist apprentice, explaining on the test paper the principle of governing by doing nothing and resting with the people.

Since Zhao Ying's proposition asked them to discuss it based on what they have learned, all the candidates felt that they had something to say, and each one tried to stand in the court's position and use what they had learned to express their opinions on this topic. understanding of the problem.

At this time, they suddenly realized that their previous understanding of the "Forging the Soul of the Army" was still superficial after all!

……

Almost everyone's attention was attracted by the imperial examinations, especially the martial arts examinations, which were held directly and publicly at the military academy grounds. Anyone with status and place would not want to watch the excitement.

Of course, ordinary people are also willing to watch the fun, but they don't dare to go to the front with these noble people in front. But even so, they are willing to watch from a distance, cheer loudly in cooperation from time to time, and feel a sense of participation. Full.

Nowadays, this martial arts examination has become a major event in Xianyang.

Even some small traders and vendors gathered here.

But even so, Gongzi Gao's departure still attracted the attention of many people.

Outside Xianyang City, on the banks of the Weishui River.

The young master walked up to the bow of the boat, took the wine from the guard on the side, held it high again, and once again expressed his gratitude to the relatives and friends who came to the shore to see him off.

"I'd like to see you all, but after a long journey, I have to say goodbye. It's getting late. Please drink all the wine in your cup and say goodbye..."

Everyone responded with a smile, raised their glasses one after another, drank down the wine, then got into the car and left.

Only Xiang Yu, Zhao Wan, Mrs. Zheng, and several other children of Gongzi Gao were left who came to see him off. Mrs. Zheng had completely forgotten the humiliation of being slapped by Young Master Gao that day, and looked at Young Master Gao in front of her with tears streaming down her face.

"Husband..."

Young Master Gao couldn't help but feel soft when he looked at the knotted wife, and gently shook her hand.

"Madam, wait peacefully at home. After I pacify the southeastern islands, I will return -"

Having said this, he couldn't help but add another sentence.

"You can educate Kan'er and the others with peace of mind at home, so that they can study and practice martial arts well - and you must not cause any more troubles. Wan'er has a calm temperament and is smart. You can discuss all matters at home with her privately. Don't decide anything. , can you ask Kan'er to invite the Pope's grandson..."

Mrs. Zheng:…

The sadness in my heart that Young Master Gao was about to leave suddenly dissipated for the most part.

Am I so uneasy looking at you?
Young Master Gao knew the temperament of his wife, so he turned his head again, looked at Zhao Wan who was standing side by side with Xiang Yu, and warned him with some worry.

"Wan'er, since you are pregnant this time, I am afraid you will have to stay in Xianyang to recuperate. After I leave, you should pay more attention to everything in the house and don't let your grandma do anything stupid again..."

Mrs. Zheng:! ! ! ! ! !
"I reflect on myself..."

She muttered something unconvinced, but before she could finish her words, the young master glared back at her.

"Kan'er, if you are unsure about anything at home, go and ask your sister for advice. Even if your sister is not sure about anything, there are General Xiang Liang and the Emperor's Grandson..."

Kan is only one year younger than Zhao Qi, and he already looks a bit like a young adult. Hearing his uncle's instructions, he immediately stepped out of the queue and bowed.

"No, Aweng, just go on your own, I will take care of everything at home!"

Hearing his son's reply, Young Master Gao couldn't help but have a smile of relief on his face. He stepped forward and patted his son's shoulder affectionately, nodding vigorously.

"Okay, my son has grown up!"

After saying that, he smiled and nodded to Xiang Yu.

"My dear son-in-law, let's say goodbye. See you later -"

Xiang Yu bowed and saluted.

"See you later!"

After bidding farewell to Young Master Gao, he will soon lead troops to Congling with Peng Yue. He still doesn't know when they will meet again.

Several people stood at the pier and waved goodbye to Gongzi Gao again.

On the big ship, until no one was seen on the shore, Gongzi Gao calmed down and turned around to look at Ge Yun, who had been standing quietly behind him.

Returning to Xianyang this time.

As expected, he sincerely recommended the great talent he met to the emperor's grandson, and he got the approval of the emperor's grandson as he wished. This descendant of the Ge family in Dongjun, who was promoted to the fifth official, became the rightful man around him. Military division commander.

It can be regarded as a complete entry into the official system.

In the Qin Dynasty, the title of the fifth official was a watershed. It was also from the fifth official that one could start to enjoy the treatment of "Qing" and have tax income of more than 300 families.

Compared with the rapidly rising figures such as Han Xin and Liu Ji, the title of Fifth Doctor is naturally not worth mentioning, but it does not mean that this Fifth Doctor is valuable.

On the contrary, it is not easy to obtain this title.

For the Ge family who is now in an embarrassing situation, it is of far-reaching significance. It means that the entire Ge family has re-entered the court and has its own say in Dongjun.

"Mr. Ge, I'm afraid I'll have to worry a lot about your trip south this time..."

Ge Jun smiled and bowed in return.

"I, the Ge family, are lucky to be able to serve under the Young Master. I dare to do my best to repay the Young Master for his kindness..."

Over the years, Ge's merchant ships have been traveling around the southeastern islands. However, due to limitations in their strength, they sometimes had to accept the indiscriminate behavior of the island residents.

But this time they brought Gongzi Gao’s army there——

Is it not just the territory of the imperial court that is being developed?
That is also the business path that the Ge family has been planning for a long time but cannot completely control. This time, I am afraid that the Ge family will really take advantage of the opportunity given by Gongzi Gao to rise!
Even if they can only follow the soup, it is enough to make the Ge family full of food and completely become the overlord of the southeastern sea area.

When he thought of this, Ge Jun couldn't help but feel a flash of uncontrollable excitement in his heart. (End of chapter)
