When several people were about to walk to Ying Zheng's study, Li Shui suddenly remembered something and asked Fu Yao: "When you were in Chu, you sent several letters one after another, urging me to come back. Is there anything wrong?"

After hearing this, Fu Yao showed a mysterious expression on his face. He whispered: "Recently, my disciple heard some wind."

Li Shui looked at Fu Yao with curiosity.

Fu Yao was about to speak when the little eunuch next to him said with a smile: "Sir, we are here."

When Li Shui looked up, he found that he had arrived at the entrance of the study room.

Fu Yao said to Li Shui: "Master, today's father summoned important officials, maybe it was for this matter. The disciple couldn't explain it clearly after the master entered."

Li Shui frowned and went in. At the same time, he was recalling hard in his mind: What big thing can happen at this time? Could it be that Qin Shihuang was going to inspect the world?

After he entered, he found that not only the court officials were there, but also Fusu and Hu Hai.

Li Shui looked at Fu Yao beside him: "Could it be that today's incident has something to do with the position of the prince?"

Ying Zheng said lightly: "Please take your seat."

Everyone responded and sat down one after another.

Ying Zheng said: "A few days ago, Hu Hai made a statement to me, saying that he was willing to leave Xianyang City and go outside to take charge of a county."

Hu Hai bowed slightly and said, "Now the brothers are going to various places to be kings, guard the border for the Qin Dynasty, and share the worries of the father and emperor. However, the child can only sit in Xianyang wither and do nothing, and feel quite uneasy."

Ying Zheng glanced at him with approval.

The court officials present all looked at Hu Hai with a little strange: Does he want the position of crown prince?

If Hu Hai is stupid, no one believes that Hu Hai is just like his master Zhao Gao, he is very scheming. If he is smart, he may not be as good as Fu Yao. If he is deeply thinking, he may be above Fu Yao.

How could such a person give up the position of prince? The only explanation is that some of the tricks are.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng said lightly: "I think Hu Hai's proposal makes sense, so I summoned the ministers to discuss it. I intend to order Fusu and Fu Yao to leave Xianyang City and take charge of a county."

When Li Shui heard this, his heart moved and suddenly understood what Ying Zheng meant.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng said: "The Qin Dynasty is vast and emperors can make countless people displaced in one thought, so the position of the crown prince cannot be careless. I plan to take out the three counties and appoint three people as county magistrates. Let them be in charge of the jurisdiction for several months. One is to make them familiar with political affairs. The other is to find out whether they have the talent to govern the country."

The court officials were stunned for a while and nodded slightly.

Li Si praised: "If there are some mistakes in governing a county, you can still deal with it. If you govern the world, once a chaos occurs, it will lead to a disaster. Therefore, this method is very good, and the old minister agrees."

The courtiers around him had no objection.

Obviously, this is actually an assessment. Whoever has the best governance results will increase in Ying Zheng's mind and will be elected as the prince in the future.

Li Shui was already thinking about it in his mind, helping Fu Yao manage a county well.

However, Ying Zheng said lightly: "This time, I am trying to test the three young masters. Therefore, they are only allowed to lead the guards and start from scratch. You will stay in Xianyang City and wait for the good news."

Li Shui was slightly stunned: "Don't your master be allowed to follow?"

Ying Zheng said: "No."

Li Shui looked at Hu Hai and suddenly laughed: "In this way, it will be the most beneficial to Mr. Hu Hai. Everyone knows that Mr. Hu Hai has no master."

Hu Hai was obviously a little proud today, stood up openly, smiled at Li Shui, and said, "It's not good, it's fair."

Ying Zheng had obviously made up his mind, so he asked his ministers directly: "You guys think it is more appropriate to choose the three counties?"

Wang Wan pondered for a while and said, "The old minister thought that although the three young men were good men in governing the country, after all, they would inevitably have some mistakes when they were in charge of a place for the first time. If they were too far away from Xianyang City, it would be easy to cause changes. It would be better to choose the former Qin Dynasty. One is the people's hearts are stable, and the other is closer to Xianyang City. Once something happens, your Majesty's decree will be delivered in one day."

"There are fertile and barren lands in the world. There are also many people in each county. Therefore, if the gap is too large, it is impossible to know which of the three princes is better. Therefore, the three counties should be not far away, so that the people's customs are similar and the rich and the poor are similar. Therefore, I suggest that Longxi, the northern part of the country, and the Shangjun."

These three counties are all near Xianyang, and they are all the original territory of Qin. Even if there is any problem, there will be no chaos. The court officials nodded, thinking that Wang Wan's words made sense.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and Fu Yao and others: "Wait, choose your place."

Fusu said, "My son is willing to go to Longxi."

Fu Yao said: "I am willing to go north."

There is nothing left to choose from, so it is naturally Shangjun.

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "You three, make some preparations. Let's set off in three days."

Fusu, Fu Yao and Hu Hai all bowed.

Afterwards, Li Shui and others left the study.

After arriving outside, Fu Yao pulled Li Shui to the side and whispered: "Master, my disciple is a little nervous."

Li Shui looked at him in wonder: "Why are you uneasy?"

Fu Yao said, "The disciple doesn't know how to govern the country. The master is not around. What should I do?"

Li Shui was a little unhappy: "Don't know how to govern the country? He teaches you every day by example, but you still don't know how to govern the country?"

Fu Yao was stunned: "Master taught me? When did Master teach me?"

Li Shui was even more puzzled: "Didn't I teach you? Then what have you learned by your side?"

Fu Yao was almost crying: "When did Master teach me? Dr. Chunyu began to teach Fusu the way of being a king a few years ago. When Zhao Gaoshang was alive, he also taught Hu Hai's skills of power and strategy. As for me..."

Fu Yao racked his brains and said, "I haven't been idle recently. I have learned a lot from my master. But I have learned all about how to do business and how to make money."

Li Shui sighed: "Who said that if you do business, you can't govern the country?"

Fu Yao was confused: "Can you govern the country by doing business?"

Li Shui said: "The Shangjun Villa, who is the master, was originally a big dilapidated mansion with hundreds of acres of farmland that were almost deserted. The people who cultivated the fields were villagers in a poor village, all of whom were ragged and could not eat enough."

"Look at it now. It only took a year for the teacher to be a teacher. The villagers of Xiaotu Village have transformed into craftsmen in Shangjun Villa. The hundreds of acres of farmland have become the best fertile land, and the harvest is several times greater than before."

"Is the lives of the people much richer than in previous years, even around Xianyang, and even in Guanzhong?"

Fu Yao nodded slowly: "It seems like yes."

Li Shui also said: "Isn't this governing a country? In ancient times, those who wanted to show their virtues to the world first govern their country; those who wanted to govern their country first, they would first consolidate their families; those who wanted to consolidate their families first cultivate their bodies; those who wanted to cultivate their bodies first, they would first correct their hearts."

"Being a teacher means first correcting one's heart and having a kind heart of the people, so he works hard to make money and do business. First make Shangjun Villa rich, then make Xianyang rich, then make Guanzhong rich, and then the people all over the world. Finally, I, Daqin, became a fairyland on earth. In this way, my wish is enough for the teacher."

When Fu Yao heard this, he said with great emotion: "Master is noble and honest, but disciples are absolutely not as good as possible."

Chunyu Yue, not far away, was stunned: What? Huaiguzi made money because he corrected his heart and cultivated his body? Isn’t this insulting Confucian classics?

Li Xin was also stunned when he heard this, and he wanted to touch Li Shui's face to see if it was made of bronze.

Li Shuihun didn't care about this and taught Fu Yao seriously: "In this world, God often jealous of talents. Those stupid people who don't understand geniuses will slander and curse him. If you want to be a genius, you must have a goal, and then firmly believe in it and not be moved by these fools."

Fu Yao nodded vigorously.

Li Shui asked: "Tell me, what is your goal?"

Fu Yao thought for a while and said, "The purpose of my disciple is to build my Great Qin into a fairyland on earth, just like my master."

Li Shui asked again: "What is a fairyland on earth?"

This time Fu Yao replied quickly: "Everyone is full and warm, enjoy peace, and the administration is clear and clear. Officials cannot humiliate civilians, and rich people cannot enslave poor people."

Li Shui nodded with satisfaction and said to Fu Yao: "Since you have made up your mind, go and do it. Just like being a teacher, build Beidi County into another Shangjun Villa."

Fu Yao nodded vigorously.

Chunyu Yue couldn't help it and walked over to ask Li Shui and Fu Yao: "What? Are you planning to do business in Beidi County?"

Li Shui said with a smile: "What? Doctor Chunyu wants to give us some advice?"

Chunyu Yue sighed: "This time, the three young men each lead a county. You and I know that the political achievements are related to the position of the prince in the future. Logically speaking, I should not give you guidance and make enemies for myself. However, when I think of the people of Beidi County, I can't help but say a few words."

"My merchants value profit, but they are not trustworthy villains. Mr. Fu Yao valued merchants in the north, which would definitely disturb the people's uneasiness. This is not the way to govern the country. Nothing is better to follow Confucius' methods and spread Confucianism widely, and to treat the people's rituals and to be humble gentlemen. Then they will be governed with pride."

Li Shui and Fu Yao both laughed.

Chunyu Yue asked, "What? You don't agree?"

Li Shui patted Fu Yao on the shoulder: "A disciple, at this level, you are a little bullying when you debate with Dr. Chunyu. You can fight back."

Fu Yao said confidently: "Dr. Chunyu, can Confucius be cured when he was alive?"

Chunyu Yue was stunned.

Fu Yao said with a smile: "When Confucius was alive, he could not rule it with his pride. Now, by practicing Confucianism, can he be ruled with his pride?"

Chunyu Yue's lips moved, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Li Shui said with satisfaction: "You have learned the essence of being a teacher."

Afterwards, Li Shui took Fu Yao away.

Chunyu Yue stood there for a long time and suddenly said, "Confucius never ruled because he had never met a wise king, and had never met his talent and could not show his strength. Now His Majesty is wise, if Mr. Fu Yao can..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that there was no one around him.

Chunyu Yue looked around and found that Li Shui and Fu Yao had long disappeared, and only Li Xin stood behind him.

Li Xin said sympathetically: "Brother Huai has left long ago."

Chunyu Yue said, saying to himself: "Forget it, they are unwilling to practice Confucianism, and I don't force it. It's a pity that they have suffered the people in the north. But that's okay. Fusu will definitely practice Confucianism in Longxi County. When he doesn't pick up the road to governing Longxi County and does not close his doors at night, your Majesty will be very happy..."

Chunyu Yue muttered to this point and suddenly looked at Li Xin in wonder: "Why don't you leave?"

Li Xin said with a smile: "I'm waiting for my sister."
