Chapter 28 The King of Qin
In the morning, when Ju Zizhou finished brushing his teeth and had breakfast before he could eat breakfast, he was notified by Meng Yan: "Mr. Ju, Your Highness Wang Sunzheng sent you to the palace to explain the "Handan Investigation"."
Ju Zizhou nodded: "I'll finish my meal...what did you say?"
He originally answered casually, but when he answered aside, he realized that it was wrong: "How did Qin Zheng say the original words?"
"His Highness Wang Sunzheng said: Let me tell my senior brother: Zheng asked him to come to the palace as soon as possible to explain the "Handan Investigation" to me." Meng Yan said in an imitation of Ying Zheng's tone.
"Wang Sun Zheng?" Ju Zizhou nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."
As he said that, he changed into a wide robe and big sleeves, and tied up his hair bun that he didn't take care of on weekdays.
Now he is fifteen years old. According to custom, he is considered an adult, so he can tie his hair bun.
Take out the jade hairpin that I had basically never used, and do not use it in my hair bun, and confirm that I was not in a very clear bronze mirror. Ju Zizhou followed Meng Yan into the Qin Palace.
Ying Zheng would not need Ju Zizhou to explain the "Handan Investigation" to him!
Ju Zizhou understood this early.
If you need explanation, Ying Zheng would not memorize the "Handan Investigation" for nearly two months.
There is not much to explain what kind of work the Ranger usually does, how often the farm tools used for self-cultivation farmers need to be repaired.
But Ying Zheng still said that he would explain to him.
This incident itself means another thing - there is a big man who wants to see him Ju Zizhou!
Ju Zizhou understood this and immediately changed into a loose scholar's uniform, tied his hair bun, and wore a jade hairpin.
This is an era that pays great attention to "ritual".
In this era, although the "Zhou Li" has been abandoned, the "Zhou Li" itself is actually just something similar to the "daily behavioral norms for primary and secondary school students". The full text is only 30,000 to 40,000 words, most of which are abandoned. There are still 10,000 or 20,000 words of behavioral norms that are still operating as "daily behavioral norms for aristocrats".
Ju Zizhou rarely deals with nobles, and he is not sure which part of the daily behavioral norms of the nobles of Qin State followed by the "Zhou Li".
But, there is no mistake to make sure you are neat and look like an ordinary scholar.
Entering the palace, Ju Zizhou was taken to the side hall behind Qing Palace.
Ying Zheng knelt in front of the desk and recited "Handan Investigation".
Ju Zizhou looked around and saw no one beside him except the maid in the palace.
He then sat down and asked, "What? I suddenly realized that I don't understand something today and want to explain it to you?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "I don't know very well why the most important content is missing in the Handan Investigation."
"You mean, I did not write down the property status of the nobles in the Zhao State in the investigation report?" Ju Zizhou thought for a while and asked.
Ying Zheng nodded: "Yes, my senior brother wrote about the life situation of merchants, self-cultivators, handicraftsmen, rangers, and slaves in his articles very carefully, but the situation of aristocrats was missing."
He asked, "Why don't you write it on?"
This is not a question Ying Zheng would ask!
Ju Zizhou looked at Ying Zheng, and through Ying Zheng, Ju Zizhou could see an old man from Ying Zheng's words.
This old man must have read the "Handan Investigation", and then according to the ideas of this investigation report, he learned about the people's livelihood and economic situation of Zhao State, and then gained an understanding of the specific social situation of Zhao State, but he still wanted to understand the more important part - the situation of the nobles!
Ju Zizhou thought for a while and said, "I used to live a life of free between Wei and Zhao countries, traveled to Dayi and small counties."
"The places I visited on-site are Daliang, Handan, Bingxian, Yuxian, Guangyi and other places."
"From the age of twelve to the fifteenth year, it took three years to talk to many people, including merchants, slaves, savages, farmers, rangers, and craftsmen."
"I have a lot of materials when talking to it."
"The information I obtained from them is completely opposite to the great principles obtained from the nobles and scholars!"
"Many strange things have never been seen and never heard of."
"I think the situation in these lower-level people, other places, and many places, has so-called truths and great significance that contrary to the words of these witnesses, all show that they are separated from the facts and must be corrected quickly!"
"I think the purpose of the politicians changing their decrees is to benefit the lives of craftsmen, self-cultivators, rangers, and slaves."
"I want them to benefit."
"Because only by allowing them to benefit can they better support the governors who bring more benefits to them."
"Once there is a king that can make them eat, they can stand up and fight with a command. The small county and the big city are combined with the force, and their momentum is like a storm, extremely rapid. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they will be torn to pieces!"
"If you want to benefit these people's lives, you must understand the life of these people now, rather than listening to the half-true and empty words of the nobles!"
"So I didn't write directly about the nobles in the investigation report."
"But in many places, I actually describe their daily lives."
"When writing about the Rangers, I wrote that the nobles were proud to raise Rangers as their guests. They often compared who had more visitors, who had more visitors and who had more visitors and were more famous."
"When I wrote about merchants, I wrote about who the nobles behind the giant merchants in Zhao State, and how much money these giant merchants have to donate to the people behind them every year."
"When writing about self-cultivation farmers, I also described in detail that the nobles collected food in different people.
"Luck out grain for "small dou" and collect and return grain for "big dou". In this way, they can collect more grain, sell grain at a high price in winter, or use porridge for free, and make it famous for its beauty."
Ju Zizhou said, looking at Ying Zheng: "How can you say that I didn't write it?"
"I just didn't sort out these people alone!"
Ying Zheng nodded: "Thank you for your teachings with senior brother!"
After saying that, Ying Zheng looked at the screen behind Ju Zizhou.
"Papapapapapapa" the old man walked out with a smile on his face.
He looked at Ju Zizhou in amazement and sat in the original position of Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng moved obediently and sat next to serve tea.
"Sir, it's really a talent!" The old man took the hot tea offered by Ying Zheng with both hands and presented it to Ju Zizhou: "I thought that even if I am so old, I am not sure that my husband is not very talented and knowledgeable. I didn't expect that he could understand the original intention of governing, which is really amazing!"
Ju Zizhou took the tea, stood up and bowed, then knelt down and presented the tea to the old man in front of him: "Zizhou, pay homage to His Majesty the King of Qin!"
King Yingzhu of Qin nodded, took the tea and drank it straight: "Which country is sir?"
When ordinary scholars lobby for the monarch, they must inform their nationality, surname, clan, ancestor, and teacher before they can speak their name.
But Ju Zizhou omitted a lot of things.
King Yingzhu of Qin was a little curious.
Ju Zizhou sighed in his heart.
So I hate meeting these nobles the most.
