Chapter 289: Appetite
Han Fei is the son of South Korea, and it is precisely because of this identity that he has almost never left Korea except for the years when he studied with Xunzi, let alone the kings of other countries.
In his belief, he should do everything he can to make Korea strong and its people rich.
Even if King Han refuses to give him enough power and support, even if South Korea does not have enough background and strength.
He never thought of going to another country to use his abilities.
Looking at Han Fei, who was stunned, Li Si said softly, "With all due respect, Han Fei, you are indeed very talented, but your vision is not broad, and your goal is not clear."
Han Fei came back to his senses and asked slowly, "Senior brother, what do you mean?"
"It's easy." "For example, there are two things that you need to do right now, one is what is good for Korea and bad for the nations, and the other is good for the whole world, but Korea doesn't take advantage of it. So which one will you choose to do?"
It was a very simple question, but Han Fei was stunned.
After another half an hour, Han Fei came back to his senses, smiled at Li Si, and said, "Senior brother's question is a bit profound, I'll give you an answer when I think it through." I am very happy to see my senior brother today, and I have specially appointed a banquet, let's not talk about political affairs, just to meet again, senior brother, please!"
"Yes, please!"
The two got together and pushed the cups to change the lamps.
When Xunzi was a teacher, the two were not like-minded confidants, but they were also classmates who had studied together for several years, and now they haven't seen each other for more than ten years, so naturally they have a lot to say.
Of course, during the years in Xunzi's place, Li Si didn't really want to learn anything, but more to pay attention to everyone's ambition and performance.
In Li Si's eyes, Han Fei does have outstanding points, but his weaknesses are also more obvious.
However, during the conversation at the banquet, Li Si found that Han Fei's arrogance had been reduced a lot, his personality was not as stubborn and cold as before, his speech was not as straightforward as before, and he had learned some twists and turns.
The only thing that hasn't changed is that the stuttering problem has not been cured.
However, it seems that it is difficult to cure this problem.
During the banquet, Li Si toasted Han Fei with a glass of wine, and then said, "I heard that my junior brother has been concentrating on learning in recent years and has compiled a lot of books."
"Hehe, that's good." Han Fei said with a smile, "It's not a secret, when it comes to South Korea's political affairs, King Han actually doesn't... I don't want to participate much, it's just that these few times it involves the cultivation of Daqin... King Han asked me to come to the temple, so most of the time I spent writing at home."
"If that's the case, I'm going to have to read it." Lees said.
"Don't dare to read it, it should be taught." Han Fei stood up as he spoke slowly, "Senior brother, wait a minute, I'll go get two volumes, you can take a look."
"Okay." Li Si answered.
After a while, Han Fei returned to the wine table with two volumes of classics.
"This one, called "Lonely Anger", is my painstaking work." Han Fei pushed the book in his left hand to Li Si, "Senior brother, please take a look."
Li Si took "Lonely Anger" and read it.
After reading it for less than a quarter of an hour, Li Si couldn't help but exclaim: "Good book!"
"Senior brother, do you really think it's good?" Han Fei asked.
"Of course it's good." Li Si smiled and said, "Have you copied it, why don't you give me this volume."
"Hehe, of course I copied it." Han Fei also smiled, "You can take a look at this volume again."
Lees took another scroll and saw that it was written.
Unfolded", Li Si continued to read.
After reading a few paragraphs, Li Si couldn't help but look at it
A light up.
The content of this book should be very helpful for Sima Jie in compiling historical books.
"Well, this one isn't bad either." Li Si closed the scroll, patted it with his hand, and said, "Give me both of them, and I'll read them on the way back."
Bachelors are the happiest of scholars
It's about being able to have people appreciate your work.
This is especially true for people with Han Fei's character.
"Hehe, if Senior Brother likes it, even if this mansion is emptied, there will be no problem." Han Fei said.
The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Time passed little by little, and Han Fei really didn't mention political affairs again, I don't know if he didn't want to think about it.
Li Si didn't take the initiative to ask, but simply accompanied Han Fei to discuss knowledge.
The two of them talked until late before going to bed.
The next morning, Han Fei accompanied Li Si to the palace.
After stepping into the car together, Han Fei said, "Today, the king will meet... You discuss the crossbow. And the knot they negotiated yesterday... Sure enough, you want the device you said about making a flying crossbow."
Li Si was slightly startled and said, "Do you want that instrument?"
Han Fei nodded slightly.
"Huh." Li Si smiled and said, "Yesterday I said that this device is very slow to make flying crossbows, it seems that King Han can't wait and wants to come over and make it himself."
"That's it." Han Fei said, "With this device, South Korea will be able to continuously make this kind of flying crossbow."
"Humph! This King Han's appetite is not small." Li Si said coldly.
"I feel that King Qin, he will definitely not agree." Han Fei said slowly, "So when I was drinking yesterday, I hesitated a few times and didn't speak."
It turned out that Han Fei didn't mention political affairs, which was the reason.
Li Si smiled and said, "King Qin, he may not agree, it's just that King Han has enough chips."
"Chips?" Han Fei asked, "What chips?"
"Hehe, you'll know then." Li Si pretended to be mysteriously glancing at Han Fei.
Li Si didn't want to say it, and Han Fei didn't want to ask too much, but he never expected that the bargaining chip Li Si was talking about turned out to be himself.
When the two of them came to the palace, they saw that King Han was already sitting on the king's chair and looking at them leisurely.
"Li Si, I'm still used to living in Xinzheng these days, right?" King Han took the lead in saying.
"It's fine." Lees replied.
"Huh." King Han said with a smile, "If you think Xinzheng is good, stay longer, and the widow will definitely greet you with good wine and food."
Li Si heard that King Han had something to say, so he said, "How dare Li Si disturb too much, I don't know what King Han discussed with the temple?"
"No hurry, no hurry." King Han said, "The widow still has a gift for Li Tingwei."
With that, King Han waved his hand.
I saw several gorgeously dressed beauties walking in from outside the temple gate one after another, and standing beside Li Si.
"I heard that Li Tingwei hasn't married a wife yet, so the widow is not in a hurry." King Han pointed to these beauties and said, "These beauties are all beauties of the royal family or the world, and Ting Wei saw those who were pleasing to the eye, so he chose to marry them as his wife and concubine."
This King Han's attitude is really different from yesterday.
In order to win over Li Si, even the beauty trick was used.
"King Han, Li Si has no plans to marry a wife for the time being, not to mention, this time, ......."
Before Li Si could finish speaking, his words were interrupted by King Han: "Hey, the so-called starting a family and starting a family, naturally ranking in front of starting a business, if you don't give the widow this face, then our negotiation will not be able to go on again."
King Han's appearance is unmistakable, Lee
Si Ye had to accept it for the time being, and pointed to the second one on the left rather casually among several beauties.
"Oh, good!" King Han said happily, "In this way, Lord Tingwei and my Dahan can be regarded as related, since there is a relationship, then everything is easy to discuss."
Lis: "......"
"Zhang Xiangguo." King Han looked at Zhang Ping and said, "Tell Li Tingwei about your proposal yesterday."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Ping replied.
is a good king of Han, and the things that please people are done by himself, and the things that offend people are pushed to the courtiers.
Zhang Ping came to Li Si's approach, bowed his hand, did not squint, and said quite calmly: "Li Tingwei, after the deliberation of the Korean temple, we have agreed that the number of flying crossbows that the Han originally asked for from the Qin State will not be reduced, and it will be delivered to Xinzheng within three months."
Hearing this, Li Si was not angry, but smiled toothily and said, "Li Si originally came here this time to promote this matter for the two countries, but now it seems that it is redundant. If Li Si doesn't come, presumably King Qin will drag on for a year and a half to mention this matter, I'm afraid King Han won't do anything to Qin State."
"It really can't be anything." Zhang Ping said, "But if Great Qin goes back on its word, I'm afraid it will be discredited, and the trade relations that the nations have just established with Great Qin will probably be difficult to maintain."
It turns out that waiting here, with the privileged location of South Korea, it is really easy to spread some rumors.
"Huh." Li Si didn't laugh angrily, "It seems that your country has not figured out one thing, the speed at which the device can make a flying crossbow is limited, and Daqin doesn't want to satisfy South Korea, but he can't do anything."
Zhang Ping smiled, moved a little closer to Li Si, and said, "In this case, my Dahan will not be embarrassed by Tingwei, so I will ask Tingwei to inform King Qin, can you send the equipment for making flying crossbows directly to Dahan?"
It's really this routine.
Although Li Si had already learned about this from Han Fei, he still pretended to be surprised and said, "Equipment? Do you want equipment?"
King Han said on the side, "Yes, with the equipment, the flying crossbow can be continuously manufactured by my Great Han, even if it is slower, it doesn't matter."
Li Si said in a deep voice: "This matter is too important, the foreign minister can't be the master, and I will wait until I return to Xianyang and report to the King of Qin before I can decide this matter."
"Good!" King Han said, "If King Qin is sincere, then not only will the matter of repairing the canal be over, but the matter of trade with Great Qin will also be extremely smooth."
"Hehe, I believe that if Han Fei can go to Daqin and personally assist Zheng Guo in repairing the canal, then it will not be difficult for me to facilitate this matter." Li Si said with a smile.
King Han looked at Han Fei and said, "If King Qin is sincere, then it is not difficult for Han Fei to assist in repairing the canal."
Li Si was a little embarrassed on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart.
It is not difficult to make the equipment of flying crossbows, it can be said that Daqin can do as much as he wants.
On the Korean side, he thought that Ying Zheng had only discovered this set of equipment at that time, and if he wanted to come over, he could not only make flying crossbows by himself, but also cut off the way for Qin to make flying crossbows.
In this way, it can be said that South Korea has taken advantage of the advantages of the other.
Li Si thought for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "Since this is the case, then I will return immediately, and then inform King Qin of the truth of the matter, and give King Han an answer as soon as possible after discussing in the Great Qin Temple."
"Nope." King Han waved his hand very decisively and said, "Sir, you can write a letter yourself, and before you receive a reply, you can enjoy the beautiful wine of Korea with peace of mind."
Lis: "......"
This time he was sent to South Korea, and Li Si himself became a hostage!
However, a strange light flashed in Li Si's eyes.
