Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 172
There are no exceptions.

Fu Nian was shocked and amazed.

No words can express his current excitement.

Even more exaggerated than Tian Zhen.

At best, she felt like she was witnessing history.

For Fu Nian, the invention of the Four Treasures of the Study will be of epoch-making significance.

Ying Yuan personally sent him out of the palace, and the two walked side by side, discussing about the Four Treasures along the way.

"The Marquis has decided to provide the method of making paper, ink, brush and inkstone to other countries free of charge. In this way, the Four Treasures will be promoted on a large scale. By that time, people all over the world will have the opportunity to read to the book."

It is almost universally acknowledged that paper is more convenient than bamboo slips.

"Master Hou, I cannot express my admiration for you."

Fu Nian straightened up and bowed to him.

It can be expected that once the Four Treasures of the Study come out, countries will inevitably buy them on a large scale.

If Ying Yuan does not disclose the production methods of these four items, then, in the short term, all countries must buy paper from Qin if they want to own it.

This is an incalculable amount of money.

It can also greatly improve Qin's financial resources.

However, Ying Yuan provided the method of making paper and ink to other countries for free, which was equivalent to losing a large amount of income.

It is really rare for a person to be as broad-minded as he is, which is enough to be called selfless.

It was because of this that Fu Nian bowed deeply to Ying Yuan.

The latter was very indifferent, and said with a smile: "Benhou has already entrusted you with the method of making paper, ink, brush and inkstone. I hope that you will do what you promised Benhou."

Fu Nian nodded solemnly, "Starting tomorrow, I will order the students in the school to make paper and write all the books in the library for Lord Hou at the same time. Even if I use bamboo slips to engrave a copy, I will finish it within half a year. , to fulfill this promise.”

"it is good."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, expressing his approval.

The so-called promise between them is the classics in the library mentioned earlier.

If all those classics are transported to Qin State and used, it will create a large number of talents for Qin State.

The next morning.

Ying Yuan handed Xiaoyan Road to Fu Nian, and said bluntly: "You are smart, you should have listened to your uncle, right?"

The master uncle in his mouth is Xunzi.

The latter looked at Yan Lu and said, "Uncle Shi means to let me accept apprentices on behalf of the master. From now on, this son will be my junior brother."

"Xunzi doesn't teach?"

Ying Yuan felt a little surprised.

His original intention was actually to let Yan Lu follow Xunzi.

However, right now, it seems difficult.

Xunzi had the idea of ​​completely avoiding the world, so he would never accept Yan Lu as his disciple again.

The fact that the two of them talked to this level is enough to prove that there is no need to hide anything about Xunzi.

"Master Hou, my uncle has passed away."

When Fu Nian said these words, he was reminding Ying Yuan that Xunzi really wanted to completely ignore the world.

"The Marquis is about to leave Qi, and I want to visit his old man again." Ying Yuan said sincerely.

Fu Nian shook his head, "Master Uncle has already left Jixia Academy, but his old man said that your invention of paper, ink, pen and inkstone is a great achievement and will be remembered by the years. From now on, your name will be remembered forever." , will also be engraved on my land of China."

It can be seen that Xunzi is also very certain about paper, ink, brush and inkstone.

That being the case, it's hard for Ying Yuan to bother her any more.

He touched Xiaoyan Lu's head and said with a smile: "We will meet again soon."

The latter frowned, "Can you come and see me once a year?"

The relationship between him and Ying Yuan these days has long established a deep bond for each other.

"Qin and Qi, one east and one west, are very far apart, and there are many inconveniences on the way. But uncle promises you, we will definitely meet again in ten years at most."

As soon as his words fell, Fu Nian frowned.

Champion Hou's words seemed to convey some kind of message.

But Fu Nian didn't study it carefully.

Ying Yuan left Xiaoyan Lu in Jixia Academy.

The latter stared at the former's leaving back, without looking back for a long time.

Yan Lu bowed deeply to Fu Nian until he was nowhere to be seen, "Senior Brother has seen Senior Brother."

Ying Yuan and his party left Qi.

When leaving the palace, Qi Wangjian saw him off in person.

Talked to Tian Zhen for a while.

Let's go and say goodbye. If there is no mistake, it is very likely that we will not come to Qi for a long time.

The two of them, father and daughter, belong to the extent that they see each other and rarely see each other.

After Ying Yuan and the others left, King Qi suddenly became melancholy.

"To be honest, the widow really doesn't want him to leave."

A minister beside him asked, "Does the king not want the princess to leave Qi, or does he not want the champion?"

"Have both."

Qi Wangjian frowned slightly as he watched their receding figures.

This Ying Yuan can not only lead troops to fight, but even some inventions can greatly enhance the power of a country.

For example, the previous stirrup, and the current paper, ink, brush and inkstone, isn’t that an invention that can shake the past and shine today?
"If the king doesn't want him to leave, the last general will arrest him now!"

Qi State General Tian Qing made a bow.

He had been coveting Tian Zhen's body for a long time.

When Qi Wangjian asked her to marry Ying Yuan, he was already dissatisfied in his heart.

"Hmph! Do you still have the guts to say it? Do you know that you are being targeted by the beaters at this moment, and if you have any visions, they will strangle you without hesitation!"

King Qi has his own spy organization.

While the watchman was monitoring Tian Qing, he was already being targeted by the forces under his command.

After leaving Linzi, Ying Yuan didn't plan to go sightseeing, so he went straight back to Qin.

"Would you blame me for not staying longer in Qi?"

Inside the carriage, Ying Yuan held Tian Zhen's hand and asked affectionately.

The latter shook his head, "I am in Qi, and I should be a visitor from now on. Qin and Xianyang are our home."

"It is my great fortune to have you in this life."

Tian Zhen was in a somewhat disappointed mood, but Ying Yuan was in a good mood.

Just because of Qi's trip, it can be said to be a rewarding experience.

He believed in Fu Nian's credit.

After all the books from Qi State are transported to Xianyang City in the future, he will definitely spend all his wealth to build the largest school in Qin State.

Let scholars from all over the world come to Qin.

It is easy to establish a school, but it is difficult to invite contemporary literati.

However, everything is designed to be artificial.

Li Si and Wei Liao are all heroes in the world, everyone can serve as sacrificial wine, so it should be possible for them to come to the academy to give lectures in their free time.

Cultivating talents should not focus on temporary growth. This is a long-term process.

It turns out that in the historical trajectory, the Qin State ruled the world and then quickly fell, part of which was due to the lack of local officials.

If this point can be resolved, it will certainly be able to extend the life of Qin.

"Husband, don't you feel a little bit unwilling to provide the manufacturing method of the so-called Four Treasures of the Study to other countries for free this time?"

Tian Zhen asked.

"Unwilling?"

Ying Yuan smiled casually, "It's just the Four Treasures of the study, and this Marquis has never paid much attention to it. On the contrary, I still have some expectations that countries can cultivate a lot of talents through the Four Treasures."

At present, the national power of Daqin is already very strong, and it is the first among all countries.

Even if the Six Kingdoms of Shandong cultivate a lot of talents in a short period of time through the Four Treasures, they will not be able to reverse the existing gap in overall strength with Qin.

Therefore, it is the general trend for Qin to rule the world.

And the talents they cultivated through hard work will eventually be used by Qin.

"It seems that my husband has something better, which can make up for the loss of the Four Treasures."

Tian Zhen covered her mouth and smiled.

Ying Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Thought to himself: "With a smart woman by my side, there are almost no secrets."
