As soon as the old man finished speaking, many people immediately responded one after another. It was the slack time for farming, the autumn harvest had passed, and many common people had nothing to do. For the sake of their own children and grandchildren, they almost took advantage of this period.

The days came when there was nothing to do. People at this time were extremely simple, and they had not yet arrived in the future when they had to worry about everything. In the eyes of everyone, Ying Zheng allowed the common people to study, which was already a great kindness. Many people hated it.

You can't be willing to repay this matter, and how can you care about the effort. For this reason, the recruitment of craftsmen was quickly completed, except for some people who were actually registered.

, many people worked tirelessly and voluntarily came to this place every day to do work, helping to move wooden villages, mud bricks and other items, so that the school was built quickly.

The divided area is huge, almost equivalent to a medium-sized community in the previous life. At this time, land is not the most valuable, but manpower is, so it is easy to find a place to build a house. Ying Zheng

According to the scale of some schools in previous lives, the area was divided into several places. About one-third of the place was divided into ten different schools. Each hall and post were connected to each other by tree-lined paths, and the surrounding pavilions

The pavilions and pavilions are connected to each other. Although this school has not been actually put into use at present, and it is not known what the effect will be after use, Ying Zheng has not been careless. He must make sure that it will not fall into the vulgarity, but it will not be simple and rough.

It would make people feel unhappy at first sight, but it is full of elegance and tranquility. There is amber inside, flowers and plants are planted, and there are naturally no shortage of trees. There are also two cranes placed in the lake, and the rest of the place is in addition to construction

In addition to the playground, there are also student dormitories and small villas where teachers live.

Since we want to recruit teachers, it is naturally impossible to recruit just ordinary three-legged cats. That would not only embarrass others, but also make Ying Zheng spend money but not get real talents. Therefore, Ying Zheng will not do such a thing.

, if he wanted to recruit teachers, he would naturally have to target scholars with real talents. Even if they were not at Xun Qing's level, they couldn't just choose anyone who could read and write!

With the strength of many people, the academy in Xianyang City was completed in almost two or three months thanks to the concerted efforts of people from all over the Qin State. At the same time, the academy was completed almost at the same time.

Near the military camp in the north, there is a sealed military camp that was quietly built. This is where the Iron Eagle soldiers will live in the future. This military camp was built by people in the army during this period. Before that,

The selected 40,000 people were already living here.

The construction of the military camp and the college was completed. It can almost be called a double happiness. After Ying Zheng and everyone discussed it, Yu Liao and others unanimously decided to name the college Guoxue. After Li Si inscribed it, he carved it on the stone tablet.

It was placed high above the gate of the college. At this time, the college had not officially started to be put into use, but the Qin State made such a big move and even built the college. Many people originally only thought that Ying Zheng was a hypocrite, so as to spread suspicion.

Only then did the people believe the sincerity of King Qin. For a time, many people in other countries almost went crazy. At this time, scholars had a high status, and many people would never be lucky enough to see words carved on a bamboo leaf.

When I heard that people could read and write openly, many people were so excited that they almost screamed. A large number of people fled from Wei, Chu and other countries. Generally, many people fled with their families. Many people went to bed at night.

I'm afraid I can still have a few words with the people next door, but when dawn comes, it's common to see the people next door emptied out.

Faced with such a situation, the kings of various countries almost went crazy. If only three or five families of common people were lost, now it is possible for someone to disappear for fifty or sixty years overnight. If this situation continues, wouldn't it be unnecessary?

When Qin comes, it only takes three or five years for Wei, Chu and other countries to disappear completely? After all, the common people have moved away one after another. If there is only one king and army left, and there are no people to support and pay taxes, what will happen to them?

Didn't the king just become a naked man? In this way, Wei Zeng, Li Yuan and others scolded Ying Zheng behind his back. They all wanted to pull their hair and hit the wall, thinking that Ying Zheng had come up with this desperate plan.

He was really too vicious and wanted to disintegrate his own country without even a single blow. Everyone was filled with hatred. But now the people of Qin have also heard the voice of the people. Many capable people and strangers who had no chance to stand out rushed towards Qin.

After going there, Wei Zeng discussed with Li Yuan, Yan Wangxi, etc., and he was so shocked that he began to follow Ying Zheng's actions and began to hold various talent recruitment camps in their respective countries.

Some talent recruitment halls and talent gathering halls have sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain. Unfortunately, the effect of Wei Zeng and others is not obvious. First of all, it is too late. In Qin State, it was already strong enough to capture most of the people.

If they continue to act like this, they will be imitating others. More importantly, Wei, Chu and other countries have always been nepotistic, and the powerful occupy almost 60 to 70% of the official opportunities in each country.

Important positions are rarely held by outsiders, and they are all held by powerful people. Although Wei Zeng and others have a good idea of ​​opening recruitment halls, the nobles of Wei and Qin Zhao Fengchang and others have similar ideas. I take care of your country.

Okay, all I want is my own interests! Once Wei Zeng wants to open a recruitment hall, it will be fine if he can't recruit talents. If he really catches any fish that slip through the net, it will be the interests of the nobles themselves.

?

For this reason, the recruitment process of Wei Zeng and others was extremely difficult. Under the intentional or unintentional embarrassment of the nobles, the princes of various countries could not resist this pressure. The power of the powerful has been entangled for many generations and has become densely intertwined.

It is not something that Wei Zeng and others can easily eradicate at this time. It is possible that a careless move can trigger a fire on the whole body. They are not Ying Zheng. When they saw the Chinese studies carried out by Ying Zheng, they became jealous.

However, he did not straighten out the powerful people in the country first like him, so naturally the recruitment hall could not proceed. Li Yuan was also afraid of being like Zhao Yong, the king of Zhao Wuling, who was hated by the powerful son Zhao Chengji because of the reform, and was starved alive.

The ending of Dead Dune.

Although the recruitment centers of various countries were set up, because of the delaying behavior of the powerful nobles, they indirectly helped Ying Zheng. Many people who wanted to join Wei, Chu and other countries were not allowed to do so due to the conscious exclusion of the powerful officials of various countries.

The Qin State did not go to recruit talents and did not have such troubles and worries as Wei and Chu. Although the recruitment halls of Wei, Chu and other countries were established, they existed in name only. In the end, they accepted some children of powerful people. Wei Zeng, Li Yuan, etc.

People want to cry without tears, but there is nothing they can do about this situation. The nobles of the aristocratic families have been with the Yong princes for many years, forming a huge monster. It is not something that Wei Zeng and others can move at this time. But with

At the same time, the official education of Qin State had not yet truly opened up, but its reputation had already spread, and people from all over the world came in droves. There was another grand occasion in Xianyang City.

Once the various countries failed to open their own schools, they began to gather some dignitaries who were also dissatisfied with this and criticized it. The dignitaries of Wei, Chu and other countries hated Qin for causing trouble.

They followed each other's lead and learned from each other. As a result, many powerful people almost lost their jobs. Naturally, they were dissatisfied with Ying Zheng, the culprit. I don't know how many people scolded Ying Zheng behind his back, but no one dared to say this openly.

However, once someone mentions this matter, he has to grit his teeth and force out a ferocious smile, praising Ying Zheng for doing this is a great event for the world. In fact, behind the scenes, Ying Zheng will scold Ying Zheng for breaking the tradition of literacy only for nobles.

Enough!

No one dares to risk the power of the world and say that what Ying Zheng did was wrong. Even though many nobles think that Ying Zheng's move is a whim, but at this time in front of the common people in the world, these high-ranking nobles have always looked down upon him.

In front of the common people, no one dared to say such words again. In the hearts of the common people at this time, Qin King Ying Zheng was their god! Especially in the eyes of the people of Qin, if anyone dared to speak ill of Ying Zheng on the land of Qin, no need

When soldiers come to arrest, the people alone can beat them half to death! Being able to read and write has always been the right of the nobles, but now because of Ying Zheng, the common people have been given a glimmer of hope, just like the door they never thought they could open.

, slowly unfolded in front of everyone, many people were filled with joy and excitement, and everyone gathered around the unopened school every day, giggling and admiring.

At this time, Xu Fu, who had been away from Xianyang for two months, also set foot on the streets of Xianyang. At this time, Xianyang had changed greatly. Everyone was praising Ying Zheng's grand deeds and

Xu Fu had heard countless rumors about the move of establishing an official school during his trip, and his heart suddenly sank. It took him a lot of time to go back. After all, he brought a lot of gold and silk with him when he went back. Although

Xu Fu thought in his heart that Gui Gu and others were all pedantic, but in his heart, the place where he felt the safest was still in Gui Gu. Even after he earned money, his first thought was to bring it back to his place in Gui Gu.

In the cave of the valley.

It took him some time to go back, and he spent about two months collecting herbs in the mountains. He encountered some troubles on his way back. Nowadays, people are strictly prohibited from coming out of the Wei State's border. You can go in, but you can't go out.

The reason why large armies are sent to guard the country every day is because the loss of people in Wei, Chu and other countries has been extremely serious recently. The places where Wei, Chu and other countries originally lived were almost empty! Under such circumstances, Wei Zeng had to be furious, and at the border

Martial law, but even so, the method was thought up by people. He made the people register, but many people still disappeared every day, but as a result, the number of missing people was not as many as before. Wei Zeng even more guarded the entire Wei State.

Being extremely strict and fearing that he would be the only single king, Xu Fu brought several carriages of herbs. Not only was the target too large to pass through the checkpoint guarded by the Wei army, but he was also not as eye-catching as when he was alone.

Therefore, it took a lot of effort to return to Xianyang City, and it also took some extra time. Unexpectedly, it was only more than two months since I left, and Xianyang had changed when I came back! Xu Fu personally hired people to drive three carts of medicinal herbs to the court.

Rushing to Xianyang, I heard that he was coming to the capital of Qin along the way. Many people were happy and willing to do something with him. Anyway, everyone who fled was heading towards Qin, so it happened that they could do something along the way.

, in exchange for some half a tael, so that when a large number of private schools are built in the future, it will be easier to send children to school. Xu Fu was thinking about his elixirs and wanted to make a lot of money from this car of herbal medicines, so he did not

Keeping these things in mind, when he was about to arrive in Xianyang, the people queuing up in front had almost squeezed out several miles away. Xu Fu originally wanted to have people drive the carriages and horses to the front and enter the city first. After all, his status was different, but

His blatant queue-jumping action immediately aroused the anger of the people waiting in line. They were all jealous as if they wanted to rush up and beat him up. Although Xu Fu was not afraid of a dozen strong men, there were probably hundreds of them in front of him.

Not only that, there were not many heroes but enemies, so he had to queue up at the back of the team, feeling extremely depressed. After a long time, the gate of Xianyang City was already in front of him, and his large carriages suddenly

He was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

"Where did it come from? Take out the road guide!" The soldier guarding the city, wrapped in iron armor, reached out to Xu Fu to pick up the road guide. Xu Fu took out the sheepskin scroll he had brought when he came to Xianyang and handed it over.

After looking at it, the soldier handed it to the gate nearby and stamped it before handing it back to Xu Fu. He waved his hand to him, indicating that he should leave quickly and wait for the next one to come back. Xu Fu originally wanted to identify himself and asked

Asked why there was such a grand event in Xianyang. The people in line behind him couldn't help it: "Mr. Lang, please move the carriage quickly, we are still waiting to enter the city!" Seeing Xu Fu driving so many carriages, they said,

At this time, not just anyone can use the carriage, at least it must be a powerful person or a big businessman with such strength. Therefore, he did not say bad words to Xu Fu. However, his expression was quite impatient. Xu Fu turned around and saw,

Just in time to see the unkind looks in the eyes of the people behind me, I could only swallow the words that came to my lips. I shouted in despair and asked someone to move the carriage away so that the people behind me could pass.

Seeing that he couldn't ask for a reason at this time, and he only heard half-informed news about Xu Fu along the way, and didn't get any news at all, Xu Fu could no longer hold back his curiosity, and quickly caught the man who was urging him to get out of the way.

Said: "Brother, I don't know what happened here, why are everyone coming to Xianyang?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him looked at him like an idiot. Many people thought at the same time: Where did this country bumpkin come from? The person who was pulled by Xu Fu suddenly felt proud in his heart, and he was very proud.

He puffed up his chest and said: "Brother, you are too ignorant. Is it possible that your Majesty has not heard of the establishment of Chinese studies and private schools? I don't know where your brother came from, but he is so poor. He has not even heard of this."

I heard..." Xu Fu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Seeing the man shaking his head, he resisted the urge to punch him, and turned away with a livid face. If he committed an offense here, he would probably have been guarding the city gate just now.

The gentle soldiers were able to swarm up and catch him immediately. Although the Qin State did not strictly prohibit fighting, fighting in front of all the soldiers was really audacious, and people couldn't even pretend not to see it.

After being ridiculed by an unknown person, Xu Fu couldn't feel better, so he simply stopped asking. He left the man who wanted to talk incessantly, reined in his horse, and quickly found the direction and headed towards his mansion.

.

When Xu Fu returned home, Xia Wuji happened to be in the mansion. He heard a lot of words inexplicably along the way, but the information was not comprehensive. When Xu Fu came back in a hurry, the servant boy reported that Xia Wuji was in the room at this time.

At this time, he suddenly became furious and jumped to his feet and cursed: "Now is such an anxious moment, he is so leisurely, wasting so much hard work on a certain road!"

During this journey, Xu Fu felt like he was about to return home. He thought about the powerful people in Xianyang City who were intolerable after taking the elixir. He was really afraid that they would demolish his house in excitement.

He had been addicted to alchemy several times when he returned home. Fortunately, he was well prepared when he returned and was able to keep his spirits up. He did not expect that he would not dare to rest all the way back. Xia Wuche actually dared not to stay in the alchemy furnace. Xu Fu was helpless immediately.

After enduring it, he quickly called Xia Wuqi over, pointing at his nostrils and scolding him: "What are your intentions? You know that the situation is serious, but you are so lazy. If something goes wrong, once the house is surrounded by people, what should you do?"

Who is going to persuade the nobles with words?"

Xia Wuqie didn't expect that Xu Fu would be furious as soon as he came back. He twitched his lips and said quickly: "Master, please calm down. It's not that he is unwilling to make elixirs. It's because the master left behind all the medicinal materials when he left. Now there are still some

There are dozens of pills, but they have not been sold and there are no medicinal materials, so my disciple has not made any more pills." When he explained this, Xu Fu refused to believe it. When he left, the nobles wanted to take the pills as soon as they heard about them.

How could a human being change his appearance in just a few months? He had taken this elixir himself and was well aware of its power. After taking it for a few days and not taking the elixir again, the taste was simply amazing.

It's maddening. It's been like this for a long time. The powerful man in Qin didn't know the elixir was gone. The medicinal materials he left behind were at most a hundred or so elixirs. Now I heard from Xia Wuji that there were dozens of elixirs left. How is this possible? That's every day.

A powerful man only sold one pill, and five hundred pills was just enough. At this point, Xu Fu was afraid that these people would do something crazy, so he rushed back all the way like his butt was on fire. But who would have expected that at this time

Xia Wuji said there were dozens more.

Xu Fu's face darkened, and his intuition was that Xia Wuji was lying. If he didn't lie, then this kid must have secretly taken the pills, kept these things, and slowly drank them himself! Zhifu Mo Ruozi, at this time

It is also suitable to use it on Xia Wuji. A teacher is better than a disciple. He has been with Xu Fu for more than 20 years and knows Xu Fu very well. When he saw Xu Fu like this, he immediately guessed in his heart that Xia Wuji was angry.

It's terrible. He wouldn't even eat this poisonous elixir if given to him. It's not like he thinks his life is too long, so why would he secretly eat it? If Xu Fu himself had known the consequences of this elixir, I'm afraid he wouldn't have eaten it either.
To be continued...
