Chapter 17: The ideal of the world in the mouth of the shopkeeper Lin!
Ying Zheng heard Lin Mo's words and seemed to have no intention of joining the court as an official for the time being, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, but he also knew that there were many obstacles for Lin Mo to enter the court as an official.
What's more, as the king of a country, his own foundation is unstable, and he does not have the courage to offend the nobles of the court and the central clan because of a Han scholar for the time being.
Thinking about the two of them, they get along like this as close friends, and they can be regarded as proud to talk freely in the small teahouse.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng raised the delicate cup in front of him, and suddenly realized that this was different from the ordinary cup he saw, and it was a new thing.
"Shopkeeper, what kind of novelty is this?"
Lin Mo smiled and took the plastic cup from Ying Zheng's hand and said, "Brother Zhao, didn't you knock over a cup in the store last time?" On a whim, I made a cup that wouldn't break. ”
A cup that can't be broken?
Ying Zheng looked puzzled.
Lin Mo saw that Ying Zheng seemed to be suspicious of the plastic cup, so he casually threw the plastic cup on the ground.
I saw that after the cup rolled down on the ground, there were no traces of shattering, and the cup was intact everywhere, without any traces of falling.
It's really unbreakable!
Interesting!
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the cup that rolled off from the ground and looked at it carefully.
How many new things does Shopkeeper Kobayashi have not yet shown him?
In this way, Lin Mo added a bit of mystery to Ying Zheng's heart.
Lin Mo changed a clean plastic cup for Ying Zheng, and said casually: "This thing has always been popular in my hometown, but it is very difficult to make in our Xianyang City, and I only made two or three lamps with all my efforts, and it cost me a lot of money." ”
"You have this craft, why don't you open a workshop to make it? Such a novel gadget may be sought after by dignitaries and nobles. ”
Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Forget it, this thing can't be mass-produced by mastering this technology." ”
"Speaking of the supply of raw materials, it is extremely difficult to find them in Xianyang City."
"This thing, only you and Xiao Li have the opportunity to use it, and no one else has this kind of treatment."
Ying Zheng smiled happily.
Lin Mo could entertain himself with such a novel gadget, which meant that he had already regarded himself as his honored guest.
"Shopkeeper, you really have a heart, if Xiao Li hears it, he must be as happy as me."
"Speaking of which, I still want to ask you, why didn't you bring Xiao Li to my teahouse to sit?"
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I just took over the construction of the lower palace, Xiao Li still has a lot of things to do, I'm afraid I can't find time to visit your teahouse recently." ”
"Brother Zhao, you and Xiao Li are both distinguished customers in my store, and I will not favor one over the other. You go back and tell Xiao Li that he will come to my store when he is free to sit in my store, and I will definitely serve him with good tea and wine. ”
Ying Zheng responded perfunctorily.
I'm afraid that Xiao Lin's shopkeeper doesn't know that Xiao Li wouldn't dare to come to his teahouse to drink tea without his permission.
After three rounds of drinking, Ying Zheng still felt sorry for Lin Mo's talent buried in the market.
He asked a little unwillingly: "Shopkeeper, you said that as a low-level Han scholar, there is no promotion channel, but if you are the king today, how will you solve this problem?" How to promote the cold and reuse the talents? ”
Lin Mo saw that Yingzheng was a little drunk, so he said: "Brother Zhao, you are a little drunk, why don't I help you get into the carriage and send you back?" ”
"Shopkeeper, I'm not drunk, I'm just a little unwilling for you. You are full of wealth and talent, if you can't enter the court as an official, your talent will be buried in the market in this life. As your confidant and friend, I feel unworthy for you. ”
"I also know very well that now that the political situation in Great Qin is dim, you will have no hope for a long time when you have no way out. But if there is still a glimmer of hope in this life, you can't just give up and be willing to fall! Maybe after the monarch monopolizes power, he will be able to act on the basis of merit? ”
"Shopkeeper, you still have a chance, but now the king has not yet found a solution to this problem, and you still need to wait patiently for the king's change!"
This is the first time that Ying Zheng has sincerely pleaded with a talented person not to give up hope!
Lin Mo was moved by Ying Zheng's heartfelt words, after all, the two just met in Pingshui, but it was not difficult to hear from Brother Zhao's words that he recognized his talent very much, and he had a lot of expectations for himself.
"Brother Zhao, I am very touched by your recognition of me. If I have to say it ideally, why don't I want to serve the king in Xianyang Palace? If there is such an opportunity one day, I will definitely take you to serve you. ”
"But now the time is not ripe, the king has just been pro-government, and he has already taken care of himself under heavy pressure, where is there still a meritocracy and meritocracy? He was fortunate to be able to stabilize the situation now and gain the trust of the nobles of the clan. ”
"Actually, in the king's heart, the nobility of the clan is the fourth mountain he has to face! Once it is not handled well, even the rule of the entire Great Qin may be subverted. Therefore, opening the promotion channel of the low-level Hanshi is just an ideal in the world, and if you want to truly realize it, the obstacles and difficulties in it are unimaginable! ”
"How much pressure do our lords have to bear to dare to have the courage to make such a subversive attempt? He doesn't have so much trial and error costs, so reusing the road of Hanshi is a dead end for today's king! ”
Lin Mo's words made Ying Zheng stunned.
The erudite shopkeeper in front of him spoke to his heart.
As the king of a country, he can only seek his own government in his position, and everything he does is for the sake of the country.
Why didn't he have a selfish heart?
But compared to the state, his selfishness is insignificant.
From the words of the shopkeeper Lin, it is not difficult to find that Ying Zheng is a person who understands the general situation, knows how difficult the situation he is facing at the moment as the king of Qin, and many decisions are not something he can control.
The more the shopkeeper said this, the more Ying Zheng felt pity and regret in his heart.
He clenched his fists, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that once he completely grasped the power and suppressed the clan and nobles, he was bound to realize the human ideal in the mouth of the shopkeeper Lin!
Daqin will be meritocracy, meritocracy!
If he really did it, then it would not be far from the situation where everyone in Great Qin was like a dragon.
Ying Zheng drank a glass of wine and said excitedly: "I hope that the king can solve the mountains in front of him as soon as possible and truly grasp the real power!" ”
"You have to believe in the ability of our king, in the near future, he will definitely be able to break free from the shackles and turn into a dragon, leading my Great Qin to gallop the world!"
Lin Mo's bold words made Yingzheng's blood boil!
It seems that Shopkeeper Lin is very confident in himself as a monarch, which also makes Ying Zheng more confident.
