Chapter 922: Doctor Jimo [Please subscribe*Please vote]

Money that comes to your doorstep should not be rejected. This is Yan Yan’s truest thought.

The envoys sent by the State of Qin were also old acquaintances, including the Internal Secretary of Qin Zhisu and Li Yao. The main reason was that other people were unwilling to come, and they were not sure that Yan Yan would not ask for too much.

They could be fooled by Yan Yan in the Qin court, let alone in the Bingzhou Palace.

As for the person coming from Qi, it was the leader of Qi’s pro-war faction, Doctor Jimo.

The reason why King Jian of Qi sent Doctor Jimo to come was very simple. He wanted the pro-war faction of Qi to face the reality, see clearly the might of the two overlords in the world, and abandon those unnecessary fantasies.

However, Doctor Jimo obviously did not understand King Qi's thoughts and ideas. As soon as he arrived in Bingzhou, he wanted to visit the Yulin Guard and the Gaoquesai Military Academy.

"Yulin Orphan!" Jimo followed Dian Qing to visit the Yulin Guard and was filled with emotion.

The Yulin Guards were very strong, stronger than any army he had ever seen. Even Li Ren's Bingzhou Blood Cavalry, who were stationed in Qi for them, were not as strong as the Yulin Guards.

However, Doctor Jimo also learned the origins of the Yulin Guards from Dian Qing.

They are all from good families in Bingzhou, and their fathers are almost all nobles who have made contributions to Bingzhou.

Their fathers had more or less fought for Bingzhou, and therefore, Bingzhou gave them the best treatment.

The education rate of the entire Yulin Guard is as high as 100%.

Almost all commanders have studied at the Gaoquesai Military Academy.

Doctor Jimo knew very well what this meant.

This means that although the full strength of the Yulin Guard is 100,000, in reality, when the Yulin go on an expedition, the number of soldiers can be directly increased from 100,000 to 200,000, 300,000 or even more.

Because the education level of the Yulin Guards is so high, every Yulin Guard can be directly transformed into a commander if placed in other places.

"The education level of the people in Qi is not low..." Doctor Jimo also had his own ideas.

What the Yulin Guard can do, the State of Qi may be able to do!

To receive education, the family must first be wealthy and have the resources to cultivate a full-time learner.

The people of Qi were wealthy, and therefore many families had many full-time learners, and Qi also led the other states in terms of per capita education rate.

After all, Qi State has the most merchants. How can you do business if you don’t know how to do accounting?
"Doctor Jimo, some things are not so easy to imitate." After a few days of contact, Dian Qing could guess what Doctor Jimo was thinking.

But the people of Qi and Bingzhou cannot be compared.

The people of Qi have become accustomed to a comfortable life. Even though they have a high level of cultural education, they do not have a brave and warlike heart.

In this situation, hastily incorporating the scholars who had been trained by Qi's families at great expense of resources into the army would only arouse public indignation. By the time the army was not fully formed, the person who led the reconstruction of the military would be assassinated with a huge reward.

Dian Qing can understand Doctor Jimo's feelings, and he also agrees with and admires people who work hard for the country and the great rejuvenation of the nation. However, the more this happens, the higher the possibility of Doctor Jimo's accidental death.

Think about it from the perspective of the parents in Qi State. We have spent our entire family, countless assets and efforts to raise our children, but you are just sending them to the battlefield. Who would be willing to do that?

What if you don't want to? Then you can hire an assassin to get rid of the person who caused this problem.

If the King of Qi is determined to do so, then it is not impossible for them to kill the King of Qi as well.

For the sake of Doctor Jimo, Dian Qing still gave a kind reminder.

"Thank you for your kindness, General, but I am Doctor Jimo after all!" Doctor Jimo sighed.

Doctor Jimo is not a name, but a heritage.

Who was the last doctor of Jimo? The world-famous Tian Dan.

He was the envoy who saved the country from collapse and restored the State of Qi. So Jimo Doctor is both an official title and a legacy.

As the successor, how could he allow himself to slack off?

Dian Qing did not try to persuade her any further, as it would be disrespectful to the other party.

Everyone has his or her own choices. Respecting the choices of others is the true respect.

"Why think so much? Doctor Jimo can't do anything. He wants to rebuild the military in Qi, but it depends on whether King Jian of Qi agrees. If King Jian of Qi doesn't agree, he can't do anything."

Faced with Dian Qing's narration and request for Yan Yan to give advice to Doctor Jimo, Yan Yan shook his head.

Doctor Jimo, like Duanmu Rong, is a naive idealist, but he has never considered that reality will not change according to their will.

In Qi, without the approval of King Jian of Qi, Doctor Jimo could do nothing, and naturally there would be no danger as Dian Qing imagined.

No matter how much Doctor Jimo shouted, as long as it did not turn into a tangible reality, the merchants in Qi would not take action against Doctor Jimo just for a slogan.

What's more, Doctor Jimo is not without someone protecting him from behind.

At least King Jian of Qi will protect him well.

Although King Jian of Qi would not support Doctor Jimo, Doctor Jimo lived the way they wanted.

So many people in Qi State may have disagreed with Doctor Jimo's political views, but they would never allow anyone to kill Doctor Jimo.

This is contradictory, but also in line with reality.

The one who really gave Yan Yan a headache was Li Yao!

He was once able to debate with the ministers of Qin State, set traps for the civil and military officials of Qin State, and was successful in everything he did.

Now, after returning from Bingzhou and opening up his Ren and Du meridians, Li Yao, who has let himself go, has had an epiphany, emerging as a butterfly from his cocoon, and even set a trap for him in return.

Therefore, Yan Yan also attached great importance to Li Yao's mission.

"My king and all the civil and military officials in the court plan to use 500,000 yuan in exchange for Bingzhou not interfering in the war between Qin and Qi to attack Yan." Li Yao did not hide anything and stated his cards directly.

But the more this happened, the more Yan Yan feared it.

"But I don't think so. Regardless of whether my Qin State pays the money or not, Bingzhou has no reason or ability to send troops to support Yan State. So in my opinion, they are all a bunch of prodigals who don't know the hard work of making money." Li Yao directly mocked the entire Qin court, including Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, please do not rush to refute. First of all, all the troops in the eastern route of Bingzhou are concentrated in the Donghu battlefield, and the troops at Yanmen Pass are also ready to prevent any unexpected accidents at any time, so there are no more troops available in the entire eastern part of Bingzhou."

"Secondly, Bingzhou vowed that it would never go to war southwards, and the Emperor also promised in person that Bingzhou would not participate in the war between the Chinese princes."

"Finally, this year, Bingzhou has collected the essence of hundreds of schools of thought in the world in Beiye Wangcheng and promoted education."

"I have calculated that with Bingzhou's national strength and income, I am afraid that there is not a penny left in Bingzhou's treasury to support Yan State."

"I have finished what I want to say. So, Your Majesty, do you not want this 500,000 yuan?"

Li Yao looked at Yan Yan confidently and said with a smile.

He really didn't want to pay the money, but all the civil and military officials in the court believed that spending money would buy peace of mind, and he couldn't disobey.

So, I can only come, but I will never give Yan Yan the opportunity to ask for a big price.

Yan Yan narrowed his eyes. The most terrifying thing about this guy was that he could clearly calculate the emptiness of Bingzhou’s treasury.
