The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 773 Wei Bao: When I woke up, the sky had fallen down [Please subscribe*Please vote for the monthly ticket]

After thinking about it, Li Mu and Lian Po understood the concerns of the head of the Yan family. Although the probability of such a thing happening was not high, it was not small either.

If it was just Bingzhou and the navy that attacked, perhaps the powerful people in Chu would not choose independence. But if Qin took the opportunity to intervene, after weighing the pros and cons, many nobles and cities would rise up in rebellion.

This is why the head of the Yan family said that Shouchun acted without thinking.

However, Li Mu and Lian Po did not care about other things. They did not interfere in matters that were not their business. They were all retired and it was the right age for them to enjoy their retirement and write books.

Even if Li Ren was not Li Mu's biological son, given the current situation in Chu, it would be impossible for Li Mu to agree to lead the troops.

Given the current state of the Chu State, whoever goes up to the throne will end up with a disgraced reputation, so Li Mu still attaches great importance to his reputation.

"From the Zhongli County Chronicles and the hydrological data provided to me by the Qin State, I found something very interesting."

Covered in heavy snow, with nothing to do in Zhongli Camp, a group of people gathered around the fire, chatting and joking.

"Oh?" Yan Yan was also curious about what Wei Ju discovered.

The mountains and rivers are different in different times, just like the Huai River now connects to the sea, but the Huai River in later generations has been blocked and does not lead to the sea.

Therefore, some of the geographical features we understand may not be applicable today.

"Yanzi once said that oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while oranges grown in the north of the Huai River are tangerines. This is not only the difference between oranges and tangerines, but also the difference between crops. The crops and farmlands south of the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River are mainly paddy fields and rice, while in the north, they are dry lands and are mainly wheat."

"What's also interesting is that all the major rivers north of the Huai River freeze in winter, but not south of it, and the rivers south of the Huai River also have greater flow rates."

"In addition, there is a big difference in temperature, climate, and the number of raindrops..."

Wei Ju spoke eloquently, using examples to illustrate and elaborate on what he had summarized and concluded.

Yan Yan was a little surprised. Wei Ju was not satisfied with being the admiral of the navy and wanted to go to the sky.

Once Wei Ju organizes and summarizes these things and writes a book, he will be a unique geographer!

Thinking of this, Yan Yan's eyes wandered, wondering whether he should guide Wei Ju to take his fleet to travel around in the future, record the hydrological features of the major rivers in China, and improve his literary skills by the way. That would be a perfect template for Li Daoyuan.

Moreover, Li Daoyuan wrote his travel notes alone, while Wei Ju had his own navy, and the things he could record were much more accurate and detailed than what Li Daoyuan could record.

Once successful, Wei Ju will be carried into both the Wenwu Temple and the Wu Temple!

After thinking about it, Yan Yan told Wei Ju his thoughts in private.

After hearing what Yan Yan said, Wei Ju's breathing became rapid.

The navy destroyed the Shadow Tiger Legion, and his various naval combat concepts have been verified and awaiting verification, but if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely have a place in the Temple of Martial Arts.

Now, some of the things he casually summarized actually could get him a ticket to the Confucian Temple. How could he not be excited?
But after thinking for a long time, Wei Ju gave up.

"After defeating Chu, I will definitely be appointed as the navy general by Qin, and it will be impossible for me to run around everywhere." Wei Ju said the reason why he gave up.

"But there is someone who can do this for me!" Wei Ju continued.

He can't leave, but that doesn't mean others can't!

"Who?" Yan Yan was puzzled.

This is the ticket to enter the temple. It is the only one of its kind and it qualifies you to go down in history.

If the other hundreds of families knew about this, they would all give up all their existing rights and devote themselves to doing these things.

"My little brother, Leopard!" Wei Ju said with a smile, "My little brother seems to be about to complete his studies at Yushan Academy!"

"It is enough for my brother and I to be in politics and the military. There is no need for me to do anything else. Moreover, with the family business we have built for him, if there is no one to guide him, he may very likely become the biggest playboy in the world!" Yan Yan thought about it and remembered that Xinling Jun also had a younger son, Wei Bao, who was sent to Yushan Academy to study after Xinling Jun's death.

With his and Wei Ju's current status, Wei Bao is the most distinguished young man after Xiao Yun'e.

With no one to guide him and no hope of surpassing himself and Wei Ju, it is possible that Wei Bao will really choose to give up and become a playboy.

"First, I have no shortage of money or vassals."

"Second, I have no shortage of time."

"Third, with our identities, no matter where we go, no one will dare to disrespect us and will give me the greatest help."

"Fourth, I studied under the Yushan Academy, the world's leading literary academy, so my literary talent won't be too bad!"

"So, I'm actually more suitable to do this than any of us!"

Wei Ju sincerely wanted to carry forward the lineage of Lord Xinling, and he also truly loved his younger brother, so he was even willing to give Wei Bao the qualification to enter the Confucian Temple and the achievement of opening his own school.

Yan Yan narrowed his eyes, it seemed to be like this.

It seems that several great geographers and travel writers in Chinese history were all well-off people who traveled around the country, and as they played and wrote down their experiences, they became great writers and geographers.

Wei Bao completely meets the characteristics of these literary and geographical masters, and his status is far more noble than those masters of later generations.

If Wei Bao were to do this, as long as he was serious about it, God would be eager to help him.

Compared to himself and Wei Ju, Wei Bao is the one who is favored by heaven and the son of destiny.

Work hard? No need!
If you lie down and play around like a playboy, you can become a great scholar and the originator of geography.

"Okay!" Yan Yan nodded.

Instead of letting Wei Bao become a top-notch playboy, it is better to let him achieve something that will amaze the world while being a playboy.

With Wei Ju and I protecting him, as long as Wei Bao doesn't just hang out in places of entertainment, even a pig can become a porcupine.

Wei Bao, who was lying down and doing nothing, waiting to take advantage of the power of his two elder brothers in Yushan Academy, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He felt that his leisurely life was going to be gone forever.

Wei Bao thought about it and wondered if someone was plotting against him?
It's impossible, absolutely impossible. My two elder brothers are the most popular figures in the world today. Who would dare to plot against me!
As for following what the gentlemen said, work hard!

Work hard? How is that possible? No matter how hard he tried, others would only say that he was the younger brother of Emperor Xuanwu and the younger brother of Wei Ju, the Lord of Water.

Surpassing two people?

Go to sleep, there is everything in your dreams!

All the pressure that Wei Ju had faced back then fell completely on him, but he did not have any of the ambition that Wei Ju had back then.

Originally Wei Bao was still thinking, thank goodness he had his brother Wei Ju to take the lead, otherwise all the pressure brought by his father's reputation would have been on him.

But when Wei Ju led the navy to annihilate the Shadow Tiger Legion, Wei Bao felt as if the sky had fallen when he woke up.

Originally, all I had to do was surpass my father, or be on par with him, or even be slightly weaker than him, to be successful.

But now he is surrounded by the halo of the three kings, leaving him no chance to surpass them at all.
