Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 621: A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
Feng Changan listened and asked:

"Father plans to find this person for Your Majesty?"

"If the branches and leaves are cut off, they will grow back. The decline of our Feng family is not due to whether there is a prime minister in the palace, but the people who stood behind the Feng family in the court fell one by one. Li Si, Yao Jia, these people They were beaten one by one, and other doctors who could speak in front of the late emperor were left idle."

"The party members in the DPRK were cut off one by one, and the death of my father was just the last straw that broke the carriage. If these party members are still there, and the father dies and the son succeeds, our Feng family will still stand firm."

After hearing this, Feng Changan followed the clues and naturally thought:
"If we can find such a person, it will be a great achievement for Your Majesty. If this person is reused in the future, he will also respect our Feng family. If so, won't our Feng family make a comeback?"

Feng Jie listened, but told Feng Changan with a straight face:

"This is the path your grandfather took to become prime minister step by step."

Feng Changan was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"It doesn't matter even if we start from scratch. A man is born between heaven and earth. If he doesn't become famous, he still has to seek glory and wealth for his descendants. If father can really find such a person, then the Feng family can really Make a comeback.”

After hearing this, Feng Jie was unmoved at first, and then he paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back for a long time.

"If I'm going to do this, I think the only person I can trust is you."

Feng Changan's heart surged for a moment. He knelt on the ground and bowed with his hands:

"Whatever arrangement my father has, my son will obey."

"There is no need to pay such a big courtesy. I just want you to take the opportunity to resign and travel to the land of Qi and Chu. If you meet any great talents, tell me and I will recommend them to Your Majesty."

"Father, isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack? It won't work."

"You are wrong. Most of the famous ministers around the late emperor are hiding in the mountains. These people disdain fame and wealth, and only think about the same thing."

"go down in history?"

"Wrong, they think about the world. Such people only appear in troubled times, but in times of peace, they are often buried."

"But I only have one son, and the world is so big. There are more than forty counties. I can't leave even ten years, let alone find someone."

"If you're lucky, you'll see them as soon as you go out. If you're not lucky, you won't be able to find them in 20 years. By then, the day lilies will have already been cold."

"Then father, what should the son do?"

"Go to the land of Qi and Chu, and look for people who are merchants, not only rich, but also people who have 'the world' in their hearts. Our Qin State first had a businessman like Lu Buwei and later became the prime minister. If you recruit such a person again, If I serve His Majesty, when the time comes, I will serve my father and serve as prime minister again."

Feng Jie's words were clear and logical, and Feng Changan naturally nodded repeatedly.

"Father, don't worry. I'll go right away, overnight."

"Wait a minute, it's not too late to finish the affairs in the house first. Wait until next spring, I will let you set off, and then you will have to make friends with scholars all over the world. If you are talented, leave a jade pendant for them."

Feng Changan was very puzzled after hearing this.

"Father, didn't you say before that Your Majesty is also looking for this 'Guan Zhong'? When His Majesty issues an edict, people from all over the world will naturally come. If Your Majesty finds it first, we will have no chance. If we don't cooperate with Your Majesty is racing against time to find such a great talent in managing the economy. What's the use of my son starting off after spring."

"Other people's son, I say he is stupid, but he is really smart. My own son, everyone praises his cleverness, but I look at him, but he is completely stupid."

Feng Changan was naturally upset, "Father, did I say something wrong?"

"Traveling around the world to look for famous people, even if you can't find them, will be of great benefit to you. Your grandfather also traveled around the country to study, so that half of the famous people in the court were recommended by him, and half were old friends with him. I ask you Go, finding talented people is a priority, but if you can make friends all over the world, it will definitely be beneficial to you if you join the court one day."

Feng Changan understood. It turned out that his father arranged this to facilitate his career in the future.

"As for the person His Majesty is looking for, let me tell you, let alone this year, maybe even if you give Your Majesty ten years, he won't be able to find him."

"why?"

"How did Guan Zhong come to serve Duke Huan of Qi?"

"Of course we know here that there are many hardships. If Bao Shuya hadn't recommended him, Duke Huan of Qi might have killed Guan Zhong."

"No matter how famous the second generation is, the mere fact that he is the emperor of Qin is enough to make the wise people of the six countries give up. Some people live just to fight for a breath. This matter of subjugation of the country and the destruction of the family has fallen on them. It is a great shame. In the past, the seven kingdoms of the world had many capable ministers under their kings, but in the end they all disappeared without a trace. Those who are unwilling to serve the first emperor may not be willing to serve the second emperor."

Feng Jie put his hand on Feng Changan's shoulder with a solemn expression and said very seriously:

"If you really meet such a person, your life may be in danger, and it is even more difficult to invite such a person to Xianyang City. It is said that a thousand armies are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. "

Feng Changan lowered his head:

"My grandfather once said that if you want to stand above ten thousand people, you have to endure corresponding pain. Since recommending such people can benefit Feng a lot, my son does not find it strange that the process is so difficult and the hope is so slim. I am willing to go. As for what my father said about waiting until spring, I think it is not necessary. I will sort out the accounts within ten days and then set off. There is no farm work in winter and everyone is idle at home. It may be easier for me to find such a place. people."

After hearing this, Feng Jie naturally praised Feng Changan in his heart.

"It's just that for what reason does my son ask His Majesty to resign?"

"Do you still want to ask me this?"

Feng Changan thought for a while:

"My son suffered an accident from his grandfather. Over the past few days, he has finally come to his senses. He wants to travel around the world and find his way."

Feng Jie listened and made no comment.

"Make up your own mind."

After talking about it for a while, it was already dawn, and the rooster outside started to crow.

Feng Jie rubbed his swollen temples.

He opened the door and saw the first light coming his way.

Liu Ji suddenly came to mind.

"Son, only heavy responsibilities can go a long way."

"Father, I understand. I chatted non-stop with my father for half the night. I am tired now and asked my father to rest early."

Feng Changan bowed and then withdrew.

Feng Jie chanted casually:
"I haven't told you this in the past because the time has not arrived, but what you have seen and heard in Xianyang City in the past two years has made you understand better than your father why the Feng family has declined, and it also makes you more anxious than your father. Seek a solution."
