The news of Fan Zeng's application reached Shang Wen. In the past few days, Shang Wen has been dealing with the Xiongnu peace talks, South Korea's return visit, and the development of the south. Of course, there are still a series of judicial issues that have not yet been resolved. The main thing is whether the judicial system is completely independent in Qinguo County. This requires the approval of the King of Qin. Shang Wen does not have this power.

"Fan Zeng?" Shang Wen was a little surprised when he got the news. He really couldn't imagine that this key figure in the history of Chu and Han hegemony would appear at this time. This surprised Shangwen too much.

"Ask him to come to my office." Shang Wen regained his composure and said.

It's unimaginable. Such a figure actually came back to the government as a consultant. Shang Wen needs to consider arranging to be a consultant in that area.

Fan Zeng was not surprised at all when he learned that the prime minister of the Qin State wanted to see him. Because he felt that Qin Guo would not let an old man be a consultant for no reason. In fact, an interview is needed now.

Fan Zeng walked into the office. Shang Wen pretended to look at the documents.

"Hello Mr. Fan. Have a seat. Shang Wen got up and said. Then he poured Fan Zeng a glass of cold water.

"I'm sorry, but the Prime Minister's office only provides cold water." Shang Wen said very casually. Fan Zeng nodded. This was reported in the newspapers. The department that said that Qin had the lowest cost was the office of the prime minister of Qin. Because there won't even be a cup of hot water there. The reason was that there was no provision of hot water in the expenditure. What Fan Zeng saw with his own eyes today confirmed the newspaper report. It is the Prime Minister's Office, which has very low expenditure compression, spends a lot on education, infrastructure, and national defense. That's a huge contrast. Behind this contrast is the reason for a strong country. The responsible attitude of the civil service group is a stabilizer for the continuous development of a country.

"Mr. Fan can call me by first name or call each other sir." Shang Wen introduced.

"As for the advisor's business. I feel like I need to explain. Shang Wen felt the need to explain. But Fan Zeng unexpectedly stopped Shang Wen's topic.

"The speed at which the Qin State is accumulating strength has exceeded the old man's expectations. The Qin state was powerful, but it had potential security risks. Shang Wen was a little stunned. He thought the old gentleman would say something he didn't understand. But I didn't expect it to be very fashionable to use the words in the newspaper. For example, speed. The term appeared in professional newspapers.

Shang Wen nodded.

"I don't know what Mr. thinks?" Shang Wen asked.

"Takami doesn't count. There are one or two insights. Fan Zeng said.

"The Prime Minister is actively fighting foreign wars. Let the old man's eyes be opened. These few nomadic tribes are indeed a huge hidden danger to my Huaxia. Fan Zeng's visit allowed him to see some doorways. He knew the habits of those few tribes very well. For example, the Huns were unruly, but they did not learn the advanced of China. On the contrary, those mountain people actively studied the civilization of the Qin people, if the Qin people could not eliminate it. Then I am afraid it will inevitably become a harm to China. Fighting a stubborn enemy is not to be feared. What is scary are the alien races who are actively learning. Fan Zeng's view is correct.

Shang Wen nodded in approval.

Fan Zeng then informed Shang Wen of what he had seen and heard, and gave an example of the difference between the Huns and the mountain people. And the mountaineers are considered a potential threat. Qin should solve the problem of both as soon as possible. Shang Wen nodded in agreement. In fact, there have been scholars who have made such a view. In his view, those nations that are good at learning and absorbing the advanced civilizations of others are the most dangerous. Because once he stops studying, it means that you lose your nutrients. That is, you will replace. Although one-sided. But it is the existence of a sense of distress.

In addition, Fan Zeng also brought good news to Shangwen. It is the issue of the integration of the new Chinese nation. Border areas. Especially in the northern region. The New Qin people gave up the narrow regional and national consciousness of the past. A kind of Chinese consciousness with the Chinese national consciousness as the main body has been formed. And this consciousness began to spread throughout the North under the spread of merchants. People's national consciousness began to be replaced by this new Chinese national consciousness. Shang Wen was very happy.

Shang Wen's idea was to increase this national goodwill through commerce. And now it's working. But that's just the beginning. What needs to be seen is that the sense of geographical country still exists. This distinction requires differentiation. Fusion into the new Chinese spirit.

Fan Zeng is obviously very talkative. Because some of Shang Wen's views are very close to this old man's views. However, Shang Wen was a little unhappy. That is, Fan Zeng vaguely has some sense of national prejudice. In particular, in foreign policy, it is very obvious that there is also a sense of ruthless means.

"I heard that the old gentleman knows about the surroundings. I learned a lot. It's true. Like what. I was amazed that we were forming a new Huaxia idea. It's true. Shang Wen said after talking with Fan Zeng.

"Mr. Fan is a rare talent. We need to arrange a suitable position for the sir. As for consultants. Shang Wen said with his brain.

"It's better to serve as a national security adviser for the time being. You know. There was a need for communication between the civil officials and the military generals of the Qin State. Especially when it comes to national security strategies. This aspect is in the hands of the General Staff. But economic development and military operations are somewhat out of pace. We need a security advisor to act as a bridge. I hope that Mr. Fan will be able to take on such an important role. Shang Wen explained. Actually, it is.

In terms of foreign strategy, the Qin state appeared to be a little chaotic. Plus the intervention of the junior consortium represented by Yingyu. For example, they will start a war against the Western Regions. This made the military generals of the General Staff, already a civilian group headed by Shang Wen and passive. The General Staff was forced to draw up a battle plan. And the civil servants can interfere with nothing. I can only acquiesce and watch things happen.

Shang Wen thought of this national security adviser for a while. It is hoped that the cooperative relationship between the General Staff and the Prime Minister's Office will be re-established. With the help of the civilian clique to grasp the economy, political needs and military strategic actions of military generals are fused. In this way, the national security strategy is unified.

Fan Zeng naturally understood. He also felt the chaos of Qin's foreign wars. That enemy fights. There is no single order. This made him aware of the confusion of the Qin State in this regard. He was the founder of the new Chinese theory, and he believed that foreign warfare was one of the keys to national integration. So he gladly accepted the position. And think it's unique. The two then shook hands and said they were happy to work together. Shang Wen then drafted the order. At the same time, he made a phone call to King Qin to inform the other party. The king of Qin asked for a detailed report to be written to him. He needed to understand why such a position was created. Fan Zeng took the initiative to undertake this task.
