Chapter 2022 Go to Xianyang (the Weather Is Getting Cooler Again Today)

When Xiang Shaolong and his group returned to Xianyang, except for Fang Zheng who still had a relaxed and contented expression, everyone else had solemn expressions. Especially Xiang Shaolong, although Fangzheng and his generals had reminded him about Lu Buwei's evil intentions at the beginning, Xiang Shaolong still used his own method to obtain evidence——after he escaped from the red pine forest, he According to the original agreement, go to Henglongling to meet with the previously dispersed teams.

If Fangzheng and others guessed correctly that Lu Buwei was really an insider, then when Xiang Shaolong went to Henglong Ridge, he would definitely not meet his own people.

It turns out the same is true.

Although Xiang Shaolong had been reminded earlier and successfully killed the enemy pretending to be his companion, being betrayed by Lu Buwei still made him worried, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

On the way back to Xianyang, Li Si quietly approached Xiang Shaolong and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Xiang, how much do you know about that Mr. Fang Zheng?"

"You mean Mr. Fang?"

Faced with Li Si's question, Xiang Shaolong was somewhat surprised, but he quickly introduced it enthusiastically.

"This Mr. Fang is very good, and to be honest, I, Xiang Shaolong, almost died a few times, but he rescued me..."

Speaking of this, Xiang Shaolong recalled it carefully, only to realize that the other party had saved him many times. The first time was when he had just come to this world to help Tao Fang's cavalry fight against horse thieves, and then he took Zhao Qian on an envoy. The tens of thousands of horse thieves he met during Wei Guoshi, and when he fled with Zhao Qian, plus this time... It can be said that the other party has saved him four times.

"Brother Xiang thinks this person is trustworthy?"

"Of course I can trust Mr. Fang...... What's your opinion, Brother Li?"

Hearing that there was something in Li Si's words, Xiang Shaolong was quite surprised, while Li Si nodded and looked at Fang Zheng who was sitting on the white deer.

"If this person really has a good relationship with you, Brother Xiang, I want to persuade him to join the Qin Kingdom. This talent is first-class in intelligence and martial arts. If you can get his help, mere Lu Buwei will not be a problem at all."

"You said to invite Mr. Fang... This is unlikely. I feel that he doesn't seem to care about such things. Maybe you don't know, Brother Li. Before, the kings of the six countries had sent people to invite him into the palace for an interview. In the end, Mr. Fang unceremoniously blasted him out..."

Although Li Si said so, Xiang Shaolong thought about it carefully, but he didn't think Fang Zheng had such an idea. In fact, sometimes he was quite envious of Fangzheng's days of idle clouds and wild cranes, but he had no choice but to make a wrong step. At this point, Xiang Shaolong is not only responsible for his own fate.

"Those are the Six Kingdoms, but not my Qin Kingdom."

Li Si shook his head.

"From the first battle in the Red Pine Forest, we can see that this person alone can stand up to a thousand troops. If he is by his side, there is nothing to worry about."

"So how do you plan to win over him?"

Xiang Shaolong also became curious at this moment, to be honest, he also hoped that Fang Zheng could stay and help him deal with Lu Buwei, but Fang Zheng was really erratic, and Xiang Shaolong was too embarrassed to speak. But if other people have such ideas, then Xiang Shaolong is quite interested.

Hearing Xiang Shaolong's question, Li Si pondered for a moment.

"Generally speaking, winning foreign ministers is nothing more than status, power, money, and beautiful women..."

"I think Mr. Fang has no interest in status and power."

Xiang Shaolong shook his head, if Fangzheng was really interested in this, he would not have lived a life of idle clouds and wild cranes long ago.

"Where is the money beauty?"

"Mr. Fang likes to kill horse thieves everywhere, and sell his war horses to other countries... I don't think he will be short of money. As for beauties... I heard Qian'er said that talented Ji seems to have fallen in love with him."

The current Xiang Shaolong is not the same as he was when he just crossed over. You must know that war horses are precious resources in any country. And Fangzheng's method is to kill people without blood, and he only kills people without killing horses. He also has a unique skill of riding horses. With a whistle, hundreds of horses will follow obediently, which is stronger than a real well-trained army. Be obedient.

So every time Fangzheng goes out for a stroll, it is equivalent to bringing home a thousand taels of gold. The purchasing power of gold these days is naturally leveraged, and Fangzheng does not seem to have any power or army to support him. In addition to Ji Yanran, at most they will add a group of slaves, so much money is enough for them to live comfortably.

And all of this is because of Fang Zheng's superhuman strength. Thinking of this, Xiang Shaolong cheered up and decided to practice the swordsmanship that Fang Zheng left for himself after returning home. Just look at Fangzheng who can come and go as he wants, but he is in danger everywhere, and you can know how big the gap between the two sides is.

In fact, Xiang Shaolong didn't know that now Fangzheng basically couldn't find horse thieves that could be used to "subsidize the family". The reason is very simple. Originally, those big horse thieves were basically troops from other countries pretending to be horse thieves to mess up the enemy's supplies. transportation and commerce. In the end, Fang Zheng killed him completely, but he even sold the horse back to them.

This made the Six Kingdoms vomit blood with anger. If you don’t want to buy it, war horses are also military supplies. If you don’t buy them back, they will be sold to the enemy country, which will strengthen the opponent’s strength. But you want to buy it back... Why should I spend money on my own things! ! !

So after a few times, the six countries basically gave up this practice of harming others and benefiting themselves. At this moment, except for some small horse thieves who couldn't see the situation clearly, the large number of horse thieves like Gray Beard had almost disappeared.

After all, no one's cavalry came from the strong wind.

Outside Xianyang city, I saw Lu Buwei personally bringing his family to greet him, Fangzheng was not in the mood to watch the false politeness between Lu Buwei and Xiang Shaolong, so he said hello and left straight away to visit Xianyang city.

Compared with the capitals of other countries, Xianyang is extremely prosperous. This does not mean that the capital is so luxuriously built, but that the streets are full of people and people. From this we can also see the rise and fall of a country. Fangzheng has been to HD and Daliang before. In terms of status and history, these two ancient cities do not know where they are higher than Xianyang, but there are few people on the streets. The reason is natural. It's because the six countries have been fighting for years, and everyone has been killed, so there is no prosperity and excitement at all.

It can be seen from this that it was indeed not a fluke that Qin was able to dominate the world.

"Mr. Fang, please stay!!"

While Fangzheng was shopping on a white deer, he heard shouts from behind him. Turning his head, he saw a man chasing him on a horse. The post was handed over.

"My servant, Lu Meng, is a general of Lu Xiang's family. Lu Xiangsu knows Mr. Fang's name, so he specially invited Mr. Fang to a dinner in Lu's residence to talk about how to govern the country. I wonder if Mr. Fang has time?"

"Lu Buwei?"

Looking at the invitation in front of him, Fang Zheng snorted softly.

"Lv Buwei is a merchant, what qualifications do you have to talk about the way of governing the country? Fang has no interest in him at all, you can go."

"But……………"

"roll."

Fangzheng silently glanced at him, and the other party's complexion changed drastically, and he was sweating coldly. He didn't dare to say a word, and immediately turned and left.

For Lu Buwei, Fang Zheng had never thought highly of him. Fang Zheng also read his so-called "Lu Shi Chunqiu", and he really "benefited a lot".

For example, "The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world." It is quite reasonable to read this sentence alone, but it is not the same when you combine it with other words in this book. If you are not selfish, you can make the king an uncle. If you make the king of an uncle punish the violent and selfish, you can't be an uncle of the king."

There is nothing wrong with these words in themselves, but it is very problematic for Lu Buwei to compile them into a book. You see, he first said "The world is not the world of a certain person, but the world of all people." Then he said "kill the tyrant and don't occupy his land, and seal the land to a virtuous person, so that you can become a king." The industry of hegemony."

Ouch, then I have to ask, who is that virtuous person? If you say that the people in the world belong to the world, do you mean that the virtuous and virtuous talents selected by the people in the world should be worthy of the world? So how to choose the people in the world?

You must know that it was ancient times, not the modern age with the development of the Internet. It is no problem for people like Han Fei and others to write books and write books, but you are basically blind if you want to influence the public. If you really want people in the world to choose a virtuous person in the world, then at least let the people in the world know that there is such a person.

And all of this...but it all costs money.

Then the question arises, which one has more money, a real scholar or a businessman?

Is this still a problem?

To put it bluntly, Lu's Spring and Autumn Period is actually the earliest theory of freedom and democracy. This shows that capitalists have been a virtue for thousands of years. In fact, this is very confusing, because capitalists control commercial circulation, which has the deepest relationship with ordinary people. You say that the various policies above the court will not empathize with ordinary people. But if you talk about daily necessities, food, housing, and transportation at home, this is inseparable from businessmen.

Therefore, it is natural for businessmen to win over the people at the bottom to fight against the regime to obtain benefits.

Thanks to Qin Shihuang's talent, he cut Lu Buwei down, laying down the basic ideological guidelines for China in the future to emphasize agriculture and suppress business. Otherwise, China might be like Europe, and Rome would be completely ruined after being torn apart.

The capitalists always put on an appearance of petitioning for the people, but at any time, the interests of the capitalists and the interests of the people at the bottom are in conflict with each other. Of course they can recruit sages like Lu Buwei, gather the opinions of various schools and write something like "Lu Shi Chunqiu" to confuse the public, but the facts prove that no matter how rich your capital is, Qin Shihuang will kill you, and you will be cut again. No matter how you brag about freedom and democracy, the virtues of the world are useless.

It's good luck not to give you a full family of copying and beheading Zhulian Jiuzu, so what's the dissatisfaction with sending you on your way with a glass of poisoned wine?

No matter what era, capitalists are the original sin, and it is absolutely right to blame them if something goes wrong.

"Wow!!"

Just when Fangzheng was thinking about it, suddenly, there was a commotion among the market crowd in front of him. Then Fangzheng saw several big men chasing a young man, punching and kicking him, knocking him to the ground. Beside him, a young and beautiful girl was crying to stop those villains, but she was pushed to the ground instead.

Hey, why is this again.

Seeing this scene, Fangzheng shook his head and sighed. He had seen similar things countless times. It’s just that there was too little entertainment in ancient times. If you want to stay at home in modern times and watch a new show or play a game, but people’s entertainment in this era is basically related to beauties singing and dancing, so the conflicts that arise are naturally more connected to the Internet. The number of routines in Wen novels is not enough...

But if you see it, you still have to worry about it, right?

Thinking of this, Fangzheng also patted the white deer lightly, and then saw a flash of white shadow. The next moment, the white deer suddenly jumped up from the crowd and landed heavily between the two groups of people, knocking them down. separate.
