In the summer of the fifth year, Qucheng was successfully completed, and the king ordered Zheng State to be called Zheng State Qu.

The Korean Zheng State was a member of the Nationalist Republic of China.

Ji Bai, a Korean man who made outstanding contributions during the construction of the canal, was delegated to the county magistrate.

On a natural day, all the workers who built the canal will receive wine and meat.

People in Xianyang City came to the nearby canal to watch.

When the slightly turbid river water flowed by, and the water became more turbulent and the water became clearer, the older generation of Qin people shed tears.

The younger ones only laughed happily and rarely cried.

The children do not actually understand the function and significance of this canal, so they are just looking at it novelly.

On this day, the King of Qin ordered the king's brother Cheng Chuang to be called "Changle Jun", which means long-lasting happiness in Chang'an.

In order to make the Empress Dowager An feel pity for his son, Changle did not set up a fiefdom, but only opened a prefecture in Xianyang City, so that the Empress Dowager could summon him from time to time. All the food, consumption and consumption of flowers and food were the responsibility of the Shaofu.

The prestige of the King of Qin and the benefits he could bring to the court officials reached a certain level, so such a government order was almost unhindered in the court.

...

"I can't stay anymore." Li Si replied.

Xunzi on the opposite side sighed: "You are the most talented among my disciples, so you are not as good as your junior brother. It's all because you are impetuous and specialize in socializing."

"However, Master, isn't it a friendship for the sake of governance?"

Xunqiu was helpless: "I cannot be conscientious in government affairs, otherwise I will not be dismissed from office several times. Maybe you are right."

"The Master lives here and admires Chunshen's harbor. However, has Master ever thought about it? If Chunshen dies, what should Master do?" Li Si asked.

Xunzi shook his head: "I am already so old. Can I live longer than a gentleman?"

"There is always a possibility of living like this and that." Li Si smiled: "Maybe the Master can live longer than me."

"Have you really thought about it?" Xunzi made his last attempt.

Li Si likes to be dangerous and loves to be scheming, but his talent is really the only one who has seen Xunzi in his life.

If he could study with peace of mind, do it for three or five years, and then seek an official position after having some outstanding works, it would be quite safe.

Just like Xunzi himself.

"I've already thought about it." Li Si stroked his beard: "Master, I'm no longer young anymore. The sage said that my husband was thirty. Now Li Si is over thirty and has nothing to stand except for his beautiful beard. I read the volume of "The Sutra of Exploitation" the day before yesterday. Han Fei was bored for two days, and I was actually very bored."

"I don't think I can write such an article in my life."

"Han Fei said he could try it, but I don't want to sit still, nor do I want to try it."

"I want to stand myself!" Li Si said this, and a flame ignited in his eyes.

"The Sutra of Exploitation..." Xunzi sighed.

That was indeed something frustrating and desperate.

The more specialized in learning, the more clearly the person can perceive the grand and detailed truth behind the unwritten article.

Xunqiu felt that he might not be able to transcend and refute his theory after reading such a rooted truth.

Not to mention, it is Han Fei and Li Si who are the disciples.

"Well." Xunqiu shook his head, and his mood was unsung: "Have you figured out where you are going?"

"I'm going to Qin State." Li Si replied.

"Go to Qin?" Xunqiu raised his eyebrows: "You are going to meet that Mr. Ju Zizhou?"

"It's just a look." Li Si shook his head: "Master, I am not so obsessed with learning. Learning to me is just a 'tool'. What I am obsessed with is still 'power'."

"You are here worse than Han Fei." Xunzi looked at Li Si quietly.

"Probably." Li Si smiled: "I want to go to Qin to take a look. Now that all the countries are rising, the kings are competing for power. In the first twenty years, half of the kings in the world were missing. As far as I can see, there may be only one king in the world in the next twenty years."

"Maybe no king will be there." Xunzi said coldly: "If morality is not cultivated, even if the war is beneficial, it cannot calm the hearts of the people and cannot rebel against the people."

"But I think the counties are actually very good. Master, you are the county magistrate and there is no vassal in the county. Didn't the people say nothing? The county is still very prosperous!"

"This is the virtue of Mu Chunshenjun." Xunqiu shook his head: "The people of all families fought because of the water source this year when they plowed in spring? Fifteen people died and nearly a hundred were injured. If it weren't for the military system in the county and the reputation of Chunshenjunjunjun, how could they stop there?"

"But there seems to be no such thing in Qin State." Li Si retorted: "The Qin people seem to have been building canals again in recent years. If the canal is completed, they will not have to fight for a pool of water; if the law is strict, people will naturally not dare to fight for this!"

Xunzi is silent.

After all, the situation in Qin is different from that in Chu.

He just sighed: "Well, if you go, you can fill the gap in Qin's no Confucianism. It's also difficult to just expect you to cultivate morality for Qin..."

"Thank you, Master." Li Si bowed.

Xunqiu replied with a stern look: "Please bring me a letter to Mr. Ju."

"If the Master is curious, you can join me in Qin!" Li Si replied.

If Xunzi entered Qin, his Pope could directly meet the King of Qin.

In that case, as Xunzi's disciple, Li Si would have saved a lot of effort!

How could Xunqiu not know what his disciples thought?

He only glared at Li Si and said helplessly: "I am old and can't walk anymore, so I won't go to Qin State. Please help me meet Mr. Ju. I will send you another letter to help you ask for an official position, okay?"

"Thank you for your mercy, Master." Li Si was overjoyed.

"Oh." Xunzi had no way to deal with Li Si.

"Master, I'm not, I'm looking for a visit." In the short voice, Xunzi raised his head and the wrinkles between his eyebrows became deeper: "It's just right."

"Come in."

...

Li Si left Lanling with four letters, simple clothes, travel expenses, dry food, weapons, armor and several spare pairs of shoes.

It was difficult to get from Chu to Qin in the past because it was not just a long journey, but wild beasts were rampant on the road.

What is even more difficult to pass is this level of human beings.

When you stay in the night, the reason why you don’t reveal your wealth is because you are afraid that your host will become greedy.

In my sleep, warriors who are hard to bear will be killed by the village woman who is not tied up. Although the scholars who are studying abroad are a little brave, they cannot be vigilant after all.

Therefore, many times, study tourers would rather live in old houses and dilapidated temples than to rely on others.

In the past two years, the road between Qin and Chu seems to have been much easier.

Not only that, the roads are filled, widened and steadily, but also, in the dilapidated temples and old houses, people will place simple realgar and mugwort to drive away insects and snakes, and some will even have water and rice for passers-by to eat and use.

Li Si had heard his brothers discuss this in the past.

They just think that gods appear, mountain ghosts appear, and shelter the nurses.

However, when Li Si actually got the rice and grain stored in the dilapidated temple, he immediately realized it.

This is absolutely impossible to be the work of a god or a mountain ghost!

The shelled rice is very delicate. If you leave it for three or four months, even if you have many deworming methods, the rice will definitely turn yellow and the rice will definitely get worms.

But this is different.

The rice grains are full, with a complete head and tail. When you shine with a lamp, it will have a shiny reflection. If you wash it with water, there will be very little rice floating, and the soup will be thick and white but not turbid.

This is obviously a good rice selected by someone carefully.

Such rice...

He weighed it with his hand, slightly surprised.

This jar contains seven or eight kilograms of refined rice!

As the brothers said, the dilapidated temple where the rice was placed was placed in this way, and there were at least five or six places on the way from Lanling to Qin.

This is nearly fifty kilograms of refined rice!

If you replace it with old bran and old grain, you can change it to one or two hundred kilograms.

One or two hundred kilograms can be used as food for a poor family of eight for a month.

When Li Si thought about it for a moment, he felt very curious.

Who put this rice and grain?

What was his intention to place rice and grain?

Even though he was curious, Li Si had no idea of ​​exploring this matter.

He just took some rice and grain, cooked porridge, dug some wild vegetables around the dilapidated temple, and added them to the rice porridge.

After a beautiful meal, Li Si lie down and go to bed.

When he woke up and cooked rice porridge again, Li Si looked at the rice jar in the temple and was scared and sweated.

The rice jar is full!
