The capital of Qin State, Xianyang.

For the people in Xianyang City, this year was a rare peaceful year. At least until now, Qin did not seem to have any plans to use troops to the outside world. This situation actually made the people in Xianyang feel very rare.

There are also many more pedestrians on Xianyang Street than in previous years. Many people bring their families and call their friends to the streets and alleys in Xianyang City. Whether it is spring or drinking, it is always good to have a life without war.

In a silk shop, a man who looked in his early thirties and dressed as a Qin Dynasty official was accompanying his family to buy a few pieces of silk.

This young Qin State man is Li Si, the eldest disciple of Mr. Xunzi.

After Li Si left Xunzi and defected to Qin, he first served as a small official in Qin and was very unsuccessful.

After Lu Buwei accompanied Gongzi Yiren and fled back to Xianyang from Handan, he heard that Li Si was Xunzi's eldest disciple, so he came to visit him in person. The two had a great time talking. At Lu Buwei's request, Li Si turned to Gongzi Yiren's disciple and was appointed as a man.

The Lang Guan was already very powerful in Qin State, with silver seals and green ribbons, two thousand stones, and the level of the county magistrate of Qin State.

The guy in the silk shop introduced to Li Si’s wife:

"Madam, you have a good eye. This silk is just coming back from the swallow land. Look at the patterns and patterns, they are all the best choices. They are very compatible with the wife and the price is very fair. Compared to the same silk silk in my Shu land, it is much cheaper."

Silk is a unique specialty in China, and its origins are said to be the era of Huangdi.

"Tongjian Wai Ji" records: "Huangdi married Emperor Laozu, the daughter of Xiling, as his wife. Xiling family advised silkworms to grow crops, and they started to know silkworms here."

In this era, silk varieties have been refined, mainly including silk, silk, brocade and other three categories.

Silk is a plain silk fabric with a light texture, durable and flat texture; Qi is a patterned silk fabric, divided into two types: jacquard per warp and jacquard per warp; brocade is a silk fabric with colorful patterns after artificial processing, which is beautiful and generous, luxurious and solemn, and has the highest price.

After listening to the introduction of this guy in the store, Li Si couldn't help but ask:

"Now, do I have a lot of silk from Yan?"

The guy looked at Li Si’s clothes and answered respectfully to Li Si:

"This Langguan is really not to be hiding. Now, sixteen or seventeen of the shops in Xianyang City, whether they are silk, wool or even linen, come from Yan State."

"The cloth in Yan State, whether it is quality, style, price, or color, is far more than the local production of our Qin State. Besides, only Yan State can ensure a stable supply of large quantities."

When Li Si heard this, his brows frowned slightly.

As a disciple of Xunzi, Li Si stayed in the Jixia Academy of Qi for many years and had a wide range of knowledge. Although he did not know the word "economic plunder", he was still very sensitive to the "Made in Yan" in the streets and alleys of Qin.

I know that this is not a good phenomenon for Qin.

Suddenly, a noise outside the shop interrupted Li Si's contemplation.

Li Si turned around and looked outside the store, and saw several war horses running past the store door.

Immediately, these Qin soldiers were covered in thin armor and covered in dust. At a glance, they knew that it was the Qin army who deposed troops to provoke horses.

Many people on the street were frightened by these galloping war horses to hide from both sides of the street. However, these Qin soldiers were very good at riding their horses. Even though they rode their horses on the street, they did not hurt anyone.

So he went to Yiren to pay a visit to Handan's mansion, and said to Yiren directly:

"Young Master, I can boost your family."

Young Master Yiren was very surprised at the time and smiled and said to Lu Buwei: "Sir, please don't be able to expand your own family first, and then come to expand my family!"

Lu Buwei replied with the opportunity: "My door, you have to wait for your door to grow before it can grow."

Yiren immediately understood what Lu Buwei said, and the two became friends in Handan.

Lu Buwei made a lot of efforts to make his "investment" finally come true.

In order to gain the friendship of Gongzi Yiren, Lu Buwei contracted almost all the expenses of Gongzi Yiren in Handan.

Lu Buwei had a beautiful and danceable concubine. Yiren was at the banquet at Lu Buwei's house. After seeing this girl, he liked her very much, so he stood up and toasted Lu Buwei, asking him to give this girl.

Lu Buwei was very angry at the time, but then he thought that he had spent a lot of money on Yi Ren to catch strange goods. What is a woman worth? So he gave up the concubine he liked.

During the Battle of Handan, the Qin army besieged the city, and Zhao Wangdan was preparing to kill Gongzi Yiren.

Lu Buwei, who received the news, was very anxious. After planning, he took out 600 kilograms of gold and bribed the city guards to the city guards in Handan, so that the young master Yiren could escape and flee to the Qin army camp, which allowed him to return to the country smoothly.

After coming to Xianyang, Qin State, Lu Buwei formulated a policy for Zichu to make a lot of guests and collect talents from all over the world. As for the expenses, Lu Buwei supported it. For Lu Buwei, this was a move to sow small seeds and harvest big fruits.

Judging from the logic of a businessman, it can be said that it is a classic case of buying low and selling high. Because of this, Li Si was attracted by Lu Buwei and recommended it to Gongzi Yiren, and stood out among the many disciples.

When he heard that Li Si was coming, Lu Buwei immediately invited Li Si to the study.

After the two sat down in the study, Li Si asked Lu Buwei:

"Mr. Lu, King Yingji of Qin is now old. The father of Prince Yiren, An Guojun, was made the crown prince. He will definitely inherit the throne of Qin soon. An Guojun has many sons, and now he is the eldest son of Prince."

"Zi Qi has no mother to take care of her in the harem, and the young master Yiren is among the many sons of An Guojun. Among them, his mother has died, so it can be said that he has no advantage."

"If King Yingji of Qin dies and King An Guojun succeeds to the throne, if the prince Yiren cannot be made the crown prince and other princes are made the crown prince, his life will be difficult to preserve."

After hearing Li Si's words, Lu Buwei sighed:
