South Korea, Sinzheng, heavy snow.

The wax moon season is the coldest time of the year. In this icy and snowy land, except for the green of the pines and cypresses, it is all snow-white. In the palace study, several pots of charcoal fire had burned to the fullest, dispelling the chill in the room. Han Wangran sat in the center, thinking thoughtfully about something.

"Your Majesty! Wen Xinghou asks to see him outside! The eunuch ordered to report carefully.

"Xuan!"

Soon there was a sound of announcements outside the door, "The king has a decree, announce that Dr. Shi is here!" ”

Not long after, Fan Sui walked into the study. Han Wangran didn't mind the cold wind coming from opening the door, and stopped Fan Sui, who was about to salute, with a smile, and said: "Wenxinghou came here in the heavy snow, there must be some important news to tell the widow!" ”

"Back to the king, Li Si and Fan Zeng, who you sent someone to find, have already been brought to Xinzheng." Fan Sui said respectfully.

"Oh? It's true? Han Wangran said overjoyed.

In this vast and troubled world, Han Wangran only cherishes the talents of these two people, and actually has no hope of finding the two of them. After all, the history books of later generations only record where they were born, and the specific location is unknown, and considering the duplicate name, it is even more difficult to find. With the wings of his own butterfly, history becomes more and more unrecognizable. Characters such as Xiang Yingzheng and Xiao He are afraid that they will never be found again.

"Yes, Your Majesty. But ......" Fan Sui said in a rare way.

"But what?" Han Wangran frowned.

"Li Si is only thirteen years old now, and Fan Zeng is only six years old, which is a little inconsistent with what the king imagined." Fan Sui finally spit out this sentence.

Although he didn't know why the king sent people to search for these two unknown people, Fan Sui subconsciously thought that the king was destined to be, and there must be some plan! But these two people are so young, what use can they have!

Han Wangran was stunned. I only remember that they should have been born at this time, but I didn't expect that they had not yet been crowned, but they made such an oolong. Li Si is better, although he has twenty crowns in this era, he can start a family at the age of sixteen and join the army to kill the enemy. It's that Fan Zeng is really younger. It can only be cultivated slowly.

Although there are already humeral ministers like Zhang Ping and Fan Sui under the account, as well as direct ministers like Feng Ting, Jin Di, Sima De, and Wei Zhe, and loyal ministers like Huang Bo, Liu Guang, Chen Sui, Li Mu, and Meng Wei, who would think that their subordinates can be too many! Han Wangran knows very well that the competition for hegemony with the Six Nations will be protracted in the future, and talents need to be cultivated on the one hand, and attracted on the other. After all, it has only been more than half a year since the establishment of Yingchuan Academy and Zhaoxian Hall, and in this era of closed news, there are still many sages who don't know these two places. That's when I made this decision. Recruit some talent.

"Hmm, hand over Li Si to Xun Qian, and let him study with Xun Fei and Han Fei!" Han Wangran said. Han Fei is his younger brother, and he has been studying with Xun for two months. Now hand over Li Si to the past and cultivate it, which can still be reused. Although Li Si was the murderer of "killing" Wang Di in history, Li Si is still young now, and it should be too late to correct him!

Fan Sui sighed in his heart. It seems that the king attaches great importance to Li Si, otherwise he would not let him apprentice with Han Fei. But. Han Fei is only ten years old this year, and it is suitable to have Li Si as a companion.

"As for Fan Zeng's side, I will arrange for Mr. Enlightenment to teach him to read first. When he reaches the age of ten, he will be sent to Wei Zhe to study hard! Han Wangran commanded.

Wei Zhe is the Huangshi Gong in history, considering that Fan Zeng is a strategist like Zhang Liang, Han Wangran decided to follow the historical example. Nurture his talent for this! Under formal education, it is better than self-taught.

Fan Sui nodded secretly, last month, Prime Minister Zhang Ping came to have a son, and the king actually went to his house in person and gave him the name Zhang Liang. Such an honor is unique in the world! I was there at the time. The king promised that when Zhang Liang was ten years old, he would arrange for a famous teacher to teach him. In private, Han Wangran told himself that this famous teacher was Wei Zhe. In this way, Han Wangran's weight towards Fan Zeng is no less than that of Zhang Liang!

After giving these instructions, Han Wangran asked casually: "In the past few days, how has the Xintian Law been implemented in Yingchuan and Shangdang counties?" ”

"Returning to the king, the new law of the two counties implements a qiēshun lì! I believe that half of it should be completed by the end of the year! Speaking of the new law, Fan Sui's face also became very proud and proud.

"So fast?" It's only been a month and a half, and half of it can be done. Han Wangran was shocked by this!

"What the minister said is true! With the successful experience of Nanyang and Sanchuan, and no local obstruction, now the people of the entire Yingchuan and Shangdang have taken action, and it is no wonder that the speed is not fast! However, the snow season is coming soon, and it will be the end of February when everything is completed. ”

"As long as you don't mistake spring ploughing, it's easy to say!" Han Wangran laughed.

"What about Yingchuan Academy? After Xun Guo left office, how did Kong Shang do? ”

Speaking of Kong Shang, Fan Sui smiled dumbly and replied: "Now Dean Kong is fighting with all the princes and hundreds of schools, arguing endlessly about the royal road!" ”

Kong Shang is a descendant of Confucius, and he sent someone to bring him back from Qufu to serve as the second president of Yingchuan College, after all, the signboard of a descendant of Confucius is still very effective. However, Han Wangran would not let him promote his pure benevolence and morality, but at the same time found representatives of various families in the world. The first is to learn and combine the ideas of various schools, and the second is to attract talents from all over the world. I don't want them to quarrel every day, it seems that I need to talk about them at the New Year's court.

"What about the scholars? Are there any outstanding talents lately? Han Wangran asked again.

When the king said this, there was a man named Lü Buwei, who was from Puyang, the kingdom of Weiguo. A few days ago, he debated with all the living beings, believing that there was no distinction between high and low among the four people. For example, today's light industry and commerce is really a disadvantage. In particular, his remarks that natural selection, survival of the fittest and businessmen can also serve their country and weaken other countries have actually refuted many people. Fan Sui sighed.

When I heard this, I was really surprised. The ruling class of successive generations has emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and has many unspeakable hardships. Lü Buwei was able to analyze and refute them one by one. Although there is a slight suspicion of strong words, the depth of the insights is rare among young people.

"Lü Buwei?" Han Wangran was shocked. Now people in the world are not familiar with this name, but in the original history, Lü Buwei was the powerful prime minister of Qin State a few decades later. Even Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, had to call him his middle father, and later generations even rumored that he was the biological father of Qin Shi Huang. The idiom "strange goods can live" is because he pushed the originally unknown concubine Zichu to the throne. His talent is evident. How did I forget this high talent!

"This person is now in Yingchuan Academy?" Han Wangran couldn't wait to ask.

Fan Sui didn't know what he meant, and replied: "Exactly! But the king wants to summon this man? ”

After getting along with Han Wangran for so long, Fan Sui knew that Han Wangran must have felt that Lu Buwei had great talent and wanted to recruit him.

Han Wangran nodded, turned his head to the eunuch Ling on the side and said, "Chuan Lang Zhong Ling Meng Fu!" ”

"Whoa!" The eunuch ordered him to leave.

After a while, Meng Fu, who was working nearby, rushed over when he heard the news!

"Ministers, see the king!"

"Meng Aiqing is flat! You now draw up an edict to transfer Lu Buwei from Yingchuan Academy into your mansion and serve as Zhonglang! Han Wangran commanded with great interest.

Zhonglang is an official with a rank of 600 stones, and although Meng Biao is a newcomer, he also knows that Han Wangran is going to promote this person named Lü Buwei.

"Whoa!" Meng Fu replied without humility or arrogance.

Regarding Meng Fu's attitude, Han Wangran was very satisfied. Perhaps it was the tradition of the Montessori clan, Meng Fu never questioned his orders, and he would only carry them out with all his might.

"After preparing the edict, let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the widow and the Imperial Doctor! Today is the day when the prime minister's eldest son puts on the full moon wine, such a major event, the three of us monarchs and ministers should not miss it! Han Wangran laughed.

Although Wang Jian has always been difficult to assassinate in the army, he got three high-ranking talents Li Si, Fan Zeng, and Lü Buwei one day, and Han Wangran was also very happy in his heart.

Soon, Meng Fu prepared the edict! After Han Wangran saw that there was no problem, he handed it over to the eunuch to stamp the jade seal. This edict was immediately transmitted to Yang Zhai at an expedited speed of three hundred miles.

In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, people come and go. When you look closely, you will find that the ownership of Xinzheng is all gathered in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is already busy. Today is the day of the full moon of Prime Minister Zhang Pingchang's eldest son, who would dare to miss such a major event.

Zhang Ping, who was relieved, was overjoyed, although he had not rested for the past few days, and the king even deliberately took a few days off of his own, but Zhang Ping always felt that he had endless energy. I am almost fifty years old this year, and I originally had no hope of giving birth to an eldest son, but where did I think that the old tree would bloom and grow old. I don't know if the king loves the house and Wu, but the king actually gave the name himself. Even if his eldest son does nothing, he can keep his life safe and get the title of an earl.

With Han Wangran's attention to his eldest son, all the officials, big or small, came to visit. Even if they didn't receive their invitation, they left a gift before leaving. The husband is like this, what more can the husband ask for!

Just as Zhang Ping was chatting with the ministers in the study, the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion came in in a hurry, and said excitedly: "Master, the king is here with the Imperial Doctor and Lang Zhongling!" ”

Zhang Ping stood up suddenly, and said in surprise: "Where are you?" ”

I thought that the king would not come, after all, the wind and snow outside were too big. If the king doesn't come, most of the Lang Zhongling, who always accompanies the king, won't be able to come. Unexpectedly, the king actually came in the wind and snow, this is the greatest honor!

"The eunuch decree said that it is only three streets away!" The butler replied quickly.

"Someone! Clean the courtyard! Ladies and gentlemen, how about taking over with the old man? Zhang Ping said with a sense of pride and reserve.

"And as it should be!" The ministers answered. (To be continued......)
