Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 65

After entering the palace, the King of Qin said to Zhao Ji, "Queen Mother, please rest first, Zheng'er has some state affairs to deal with, and I will have dinner with you later."

Although Zhao Ji didn't understand politics, she was very superficial in politics. After all, she felt sorry for her son. She nodded and said, "Zheng'er, you are the king of the Great Qin Kingdom. The Great Qin Kingdom cannot live without you. Go get busy. Mother, go and rest first." Yes. Zheng'er, you are done with your work, please invite Mr. Zhou, our mother and son can be reunited, it is due to Mr. Zhou's strength, mother should thank him very much."

That historical celebrity received such a high-level reception from her back then, Zhou Chong felt a little bit in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The queen mother is serious, Zhou Chong only said a few words, and dare not be so generous as the queen mother." This is not a lie, it is the truth. Zhou Chong just replaced that famous historical figure. What he said and did was done by that famous man long ago, so how dare he take credit for it.

Zhao Ji said appreciatively: "What a wonderful Mr. Zhou, how humble! This matter is settled like this." With the help of the maid, she left by herself.

It wasn't until Zhao Ji's back disappeared that King Qin took Zhou Chong's hand and said, "Go, Mr. Zhou, come in with me." After entering the room, King Qin asked Zhou Chong to sit down, take off his coat, and hang it on the coat hook On the next day, he did a few chest-expanding movements, exhaled turbid air, and then sat on the throne, facing Zhou Chong, and said: "If it weren't for Mr. Zhou, the widow would still be separated from the mother and the child, and it would be difficult to reunite the flesh and blood. From a personal point of view, you are right. The widow has a kindness. From the perspective of state affairs, you have a kindness to the Great Qin. The widow has decided that I will give you an official job, so you can be the grand tutor and be the high minister."

"Isn't this the official you granted to that famous historical figure back then? Why is it mine again?" If people are unlucky, they will choke on drinking water. In his mouth, Zhou Chong never thought that he would imitate the behavior of that famous historical figure and get a high-ranking official so easily. He was really dizzy. If he was not sitting on a chair, he must have fallen to the ground up.

Dazed for a moment, Zhou Chong said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong is just a grassroots man with no merits, let alone the ability to govern the world. He must never be an official. Please take back his life." This official, Zhou Chong will do I am really ashamed, how dare I accept it.

King Qin's face was serious, and he said: "Mr. Zhou, this is my widow's will and cannot be changed."

Zhou Chong knew that he was a man who said what he said, and what he said was two. He would never change what he said, and his tone was already very strict. The grass-roots dare not be dedicated, but this official Zhou Chong really can't do it, and I'm afraid he will miss the important matter of the king."

King Qin smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou, you are so humble. When employing people, of course you must use his best skills. Mr. Zhou has never been an official, has no experience in directors, and I will not let you do those who govern the people. thing."

"Then what do you want me to do? Wouldn't it be like 'eating and waiting to die' written in time-traveling novels?" Zhou Chong really aroused his curiosity and listened intently.

King Qin continued: "I have a ready-made thing, and you, Mr. Zhou, are the most suitable. The paper and pen you made have been used by me before, and they are very useful, light and practical. The sixty catties of letters that I used to read are now It only needs dozens of sheets of paper to finish writing. I want to promote your Zhou Gong paper and Zhou Gong pen to the whole country. In this way, the efficiency of my Great Qin will be improved to a higher level. My Great Qin The country will be stronger."

"The King of Qin is the King of Qin! Everything is thought of ahead. If this new thing is passed on naturally, it will be impossible to complete it in less than 200 years." Zhou Chong was very surprised at King Qin's ability to grasp new things in his heart.

The words that surprised Zhou Chong were still to come. The King of Qin said ambitiously: "In our Great Qin State, the government first, and then the people. Will you be willing to work for the widow?"

"This is a great thing to promote Chinese civilization. As a descendant of Yan and Huang, I will go through fire and water!" Zhou Chong stood up excitedly, and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong must do his best!"

A piece of historical experience that has been tested by history: No matter which nation, it is difficult to survive without a profound cultural heritage.Of course, he could have flourished in martial arts for a while, such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolia, and Manchu. These ethnic groups that the Chinese are very familiar with have conquered the Central Plains, and the result was eventually assimilated by the Han nationality with a profound cultural heritage. up.The famous American historian Paul Kennedy once marveled at China's unique ability to assimilate conquerors in his famous book "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers".

Any patriotic Chinese would never refuse King Qin's request, and Zhou Chong was no exception. He was willing to be a pawn and contribute to the development of Chinese civilization.

Conquering the city and looting land is beneficial for a while, and carrying forward the Chinese culture is beneficial for all generations. If this is done, Zhou Chong will be famous forever!Although Zhou Chong did not create any school of thought, he may not be inferior to Confucius.

The King of Qin praised it very much, and said: "This is easy to say, but difficult to do. There is no group of people who can't do it. You don't know that it will be the year of the monkey just based on folk rumors. I have thought about it. You take the lead, you discuss with Shen Qing, and ask him to fully cooperate with you. If you have difficulties, you find the widow, in one sentence: If you want someone to give, you want money to give money! When the time is right, the widow will issue an order to abolish the bamboo slips. "

Since Cai Lun improved paper in the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper and Jane were used together in the world for a long time. It was not until the Western Jin Dynasty that the official decree abolished Jane and the status of paper was fully established. This is a major event in the history of Chinese civilization.Unexpectedly, this matter was actually carried out thousands of years earlier, and he was still in charge of implementing it. Zhou Chong was so excited that he almost jumped into the room to crow, saying: "The king is holy!"

King Qin is so courageous, anyone would sincerely praise him as a sage, and Zhou Chong is no exception.

"Ren Chong, come in." King Qin walked to the door and called out.

The door opened with a creak, and a big man came in. He was eight feet long, with a strong back and a strong waist, and his eyes were like lightning. He saluted King Qin and said, "I have seen the king!"

"What a strong man!" Zhou Chong praised in his heart.

King Qin waved his hand and said, "Ren Chong, this is Mr. Zhou, you have met him before."

Ren Chong and Zhou Chong saw the salute, Zhou Chong returned the salute, thinking: "It's very good, why did you call a strong man again, what tricks do you have?"

The King of Qin introduced Zhou Chong: "Mr. Zhou, this is my great Qin warrior, a general who lives up to his reputation. You can see that Ren Chong's body is not inferior to that of Naizu."

"Ren Chong?" Zhou Chong thought for a moment, and immediately thought of a person, that is Ren Bi, the famous warrior of Qin State during the period of King Wu of Qin.King Qin Wu was a man of great strength. When he arrived in Luoyang, he planned to move Jiuding back to Xianyang.He was eager to win for a while, and compared his strength with his strongman Meng Ben, he lifted a tripod in a competition.The tripod was so heavy that it is said that Meng Ben knocked out his eyeballs.King Qin Wu made a mistake, the tripod fell and broke his ankle, and died of pain, only then King Qin Zhaoxiang ascended the throne.

At that time, Ren Bi was also on the scene. Not only did he not participate in the lifting of the tripod, but he also tried his best to admonish King Wu of Qin to fail.Later, when the state of Qin pursued this responsibility, Meng Ben was killed, but Ren Bi ignored it and became a high official.

It can be said that after Ren Chong was from a famous family, the king of Qin actually called him, what would happen?You can't use a strong man to make pens and paper, Zhou Chong really can't understand the intention of King Qin.
