Xijing City, King Qin's Palace

"What? Brother of the Six Emperors? You ...... too. Do you want to go back to Qinchuan County with me? ”

In the palace hall, when Zhao Zheng learned from the mouth of the Sixth Emperor Brother that he was going to return to Qinchuan County with him, his eyes immediately widened in surprise.

After all, the Sixth Emperor Brother has not returned to Beijing for many years, and now just a few days after he returned, not only did he not go to his fiefdom Song Ze County, but he took the initiative to visit, wanting to go with him to Qinchuan County, which was far away on the border!

This...... But how could he not be a little stunned?

"Yes, I heard that Qin Chuan has changed a lot under your rule...... I'm really curious about my brother. ”

Song Wang Zhao Qian took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Uh, this ......"

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and he was still a little puzzled in his heart.

"Why, isn't it...... Don't you welcome me, Brother Huang? ”

Zhao Qian glanced at his ninth brother Zhao Zheng with a smile and said jokingly.

"No, no! How could it be! Brother Huang, what are you talking about! ”

Zhao Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said in a loud voice.

"The imperial brother is willing to go to my side to seal the country, and I am too late to be happy...... How could it not be welcomed? ”

Even though he had very little contact with the Sixth Emperor Brother Zhao Qian, it was only the first time they met when the Fifth Emperor Brother got married a few days ago.

Even if you count this time, it's only the second time.

But it is only a two-sided relationship, the gentle and gentle temperament of the Sixth Emperor Brother Zhao Qian, coupled with the unique and extremely high pursuit of life, all made Zhao Zheng have a sense of admiration for himself, the Sixth Emperor Brother whom he rarely met.

Getting along and talking with it gives people a sense of comfort like a spring breeze.

Therefore, for such a sudden and active visit by the Six Emperor Brothers, Zhao Zheng naturally did not choose to refuse, but responded to the matter on the spot.

After all, not to mention that Zhao Zheng himself has something to ask Zhao Qian, the king of Song, the sixth emperor brother, just the identity of the sixth emperor brother and his personal charm are enough to make Zhao Zheng happily interact with him and treat him warmly.

"Eh~, don't be humble...... Do you know what the Qin State will be like in ten years? ”

Zhao Qian waved his hand suddenly, but he seemed to be more confident than Zhao Zheng himself in the poor Qin State, and said with a smile in anticipation.

"Ten years......

When Zhao Zhengwen heard this, he couldn't help but sway, and his face was full of longing......

Today's Qin State holds two profiteering commodities that have been completely monopolized, coal and stone and strange things in the Western Regions!

These two commercial transactions alone, which were completely monopolized by the Qin State and had extremely huge market prospects, would bring unimaginable wealth to the impoverished and weak Qin State!

The commercial profits that can be made by such monopoly goods that are enough to be exported to Kyushu are far more than the profits of the salt and iron monopoly of a county!

And in today's Qin State, the power of salt and iron is nationalized!

What's more, under Zhao Zheng's iron-fisted methods, the tax system of the Qin State has undergone earth-shaking and huge changes!

The land that was originally wantonly occupied by local wealthy families and big families has been collected almost in full thanks to the policy of 'spreading the land into the mu and integrating the land', so that the acres of land with great loopholes are almost all collected!

With such a combination of measures, the national strength of the Qin State has increased greatly, and the treasury of the Qin State, which was still in deficit, will quickly overflow!

Today's Qin State treasury, compared with the deficit state when Zhao Zheng first arrived in Qinchuan, the gap is more than ten times huge?!

But this is far from it, in addition to these immediate national policy reforms, Zhao Zheng has high hopes, and even the Tiger Prison Business Road, which has set up a trading company, is also being opened up urgently and quickly!

At that time, once the Tiger Prison Trade Road is opened, and in conjunction with the Qin State's domestic construction, almost all over the country is densely packed with network official roads!

In this way, the originally remote and desolate Qinchuan border county will become the most convenient trade hub of Daqian, Dali and Beidi!

Just imagine, by then......

Can Qin Chuanyan be rich?

Can Qin Guoyan be strong?!

"Yes, ten years later, the Qin State...... What will it look like? ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but smile, obviously full of hope and expectation for the future of the Qin State.

And this expression, in the eyes of Zhao Qian, the king of Song on the side, made him smile slightly.

With what the ninth brother has done since he entered the Qin State, what kind of development can he make a remote and poor county like Qinchuan develop, he is really looking forward to it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qian immediately felt a sudden move in his heart, and he couldn't help but speak.

"By the way, Ninth Brother, before you go to Beijing...... Have you met any strange people? ”

Zhao Zheng froze for a moment when he heard this, as if he had not expected the Six Emperor Brotherhood to suddenly be so angry.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he still thought about it and shook his head gently.

"This ...... Not yet. ”

Zhao Qian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and an extremely subtle disappointment flashed.

But when he quickly gathered his mind and was ready to reveal the matter—

"Hey! That's right! If you really want to talk about strange people...... There really is one! ”

Suddenly, I saw Zhao Zheng, who was frowning and thinking hard, and suddenly remembered it.

"Oh? Who is this person?! ”

Zhao Qian was overjoyed and hurriedly asked!

"This person ...... It is the god of Nanyang - Zuo Xuan! ”

Zhao Zheng nodded and said affirmatively.

If you really want to say anything strange, Zuo Xuan, who is known as the god of Nanyang Sutra, is afraid that he can't escape, right?

"Uh......"

Zhao Qian was stunned at first, and seemed to be very surprised by this name.

But in an instant, he was shocked and immediately said!

"What? Nanyang Sutra ...... Mr. Left, Mr. Left?! ”

His face was full of disbelief!

Just because Nanyang Jingshen Zuo Xuan, in the entire Confucian and Taoist culture in Kyushu, he is the number one Confucian and Taoist master!

My own research on Confucianism, Taoism and scriptures, in front of Mr. Zuo, it is fundamentally different, it is simply not worth mentioning!

Even when he traveled to Kyushu and traveled all over the world, he also went to Nanyang County in person, sat down with Mr. Zuo and talked about it, and humbly asked for advice.

This treatment is a full ten days, and every time Mr. Zuo thinks about it, he suddenly opens his mouth and benefits a lot!

Therefore, in Zhao Qian's heart, he seems to treat Mr. Zuo as a half-teacher.

And now, when he suddenly learned that Mr. Zuo actually appeared in Qinchuan County, this gaffe in his heart can naturally be imagined!

After all, with the identity and status of Mr. Zuo, even if his father invited him back then, he was politely refused!

What's more, it was invited by the vassal king of a mere county?

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Zuo to come to Qinchuan County because of the invitation of the ninth brother!

So...... Why did Mr. Zuo suddenly appear in Qinchuan County?

"This ......"

Zhao Qian was very surprised in his heart, but he seemed to realize it in an instant.

Perhaps, Mr. Zuo went out to travel, and happened to meet the ninth brother in Qinchuan County......

Otherwise, with the respect of Mr. Zuo, would it be possible to take the initiative to visit the ninth brother?

'How so?' ‘

Thinking of this, Zhao Qian couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, and immediately looked at the ninth brother Zhao Zheng.

"Yes, Mr. Zuo came to visit late at night, and even I was stunned......"

Zhao Zheng recalled the sudden visit that night and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"W-What? Mr. Zuo...... Visiting late at night?! ”

In an instant, Zhao Qian's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe his ears!

With the respect of Mr. Zuo, he actually took the initiative to visit the ninth brother, and he went there late at night.

This......

Zhao Qian looked at the ninth brother incredulously, if the fifth emperor brother Zhao Yan said this, he would definitely be the other party bragging again, and he wouldn't believe it at all.

But when these words came out from the mouth of the ninth brother, who had always been old and serious, Zhao Qian couldn't help but take it seriously!

Could it be ...... What the ninth brother said is true?

"Yes, I was also very curious at that time, until I met Zuo Lao and talked with him at night...... I learned that he was here this time! ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but smile.

After all, this is really a pillow when you are sleepy, and a big talent falls from the sky!

"Oh? What did Zuo Lao mean when he came? ”

Zhao Qian looked at the expression of the ninth brother, and suddenly couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked.

But in my heart, it was strange and inexplicable, and a wave of unwarranted speculation arose for no reason.

Zuo Lao took the initiative to visit, is it possible...... Can it still be to serve the ninth brother?

"Harm~ You may not believe it when you say it, brother Huang...... Zuo Lao traveled day and night, visiting late at night, but it was, but it was...... In order to enter my Qin State School Palace, preside over the great cause of a country's education! ”

Zhao Zheng said about this, and still said in disbelief until this time.

To be honest, he himself never imagined that the imperial examination system that he had conceived on a whim would have such a huge impact on Zuo Lao, a Confucian master from a humble family!

even made the old man relax and take the initiative to work!

"What?!"

Zhao Qian finally couldn't help but get up suddenly, and he was really shocked in his heart!

This...... How is this possible?!

After ten days of study and discussion, he naturally has a very good understanding of Mr. Zuo's moral character!

With Zuo Lao's realm and identity, any false name and rich Lu are not worth mentioning like floating clouds!

I think that at the beginning, even the invitation of my father and emperor was politely refused, but now how can I take the initiative to go to the Qin State and serve the ninth brother Zhao Zheng? ?

For fame and fortune?

Are you kidding?

How can a small county and state education be compared to the great cause of education of a large cadre?!

Therefore, Zhao Qian was very puzzled in his heart, what kind of changes in Qin Chuan were enough to attract Mr. Zuo to take the initiative to go along with him.

"Could it be...... Ninth brother, what did you make a big move in the Qin State? ”

Zhao Qian is so smart and quick-witted, but in the blink of an eye, he thought of such a possibility!

"Hahahaha! What the royal brother said is extremely true! If it weren't for the imperial examination system...... How can I attract Mr. Zuo to take the initiative to visit? ”

Zhao Zheng immediately laughed when he heard this, and said again and again.

"Oh? Imperial examination system? ”

Zhao Qian's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly chased after him!

"Dare to be the ninth brother...... What is the imperial examination system? ”

Zhao Zheng smiled slightly, got up and said one after another.

"Regardless of background, only on talent, abolish the examination and establish the imperial examination...... This is the imperial examination system! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Qian was stunned on the spot, but he was stunned, and muttered and repeated.

"I don't have to be confined to my background...... It's all about talent......"

"Abolish the inspection and establish the imperial examination ......"

I thought silently like this for a long time, but all of a sudden, I laughed out loud!

"Hahaha! Yes, yes! I see...... I see! ”

But in an instant, Zhao Qian already understood why with the respect of Mr. Zuo, he would work tirelessly and take the initiative to serve!

It turned out to be such an amazing innovation that has never been seen in the past!!

Thinking of this, Zhao Qian immediately looked at his ninth brother Zhao Zheng with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Ninth brother, ninth brother, but for my brother, I am interested in this trip to Qinchuan...... I'm looking forward to it even more! ”

……

"Trade and commerce are prosperous, the inspection is abolished and the imperial examination is established, and the tax system is reformed and the people are benefited!"

This is the entry of the King of Qin into Qin, and the three strategies established by the country are also consolidated!

With such a clear monarch and holy lord, how can he not be able to reach all the virtuous?

How can Kyushu not be subdued? ”
