Seeing that Zheng Guo had not returned for a long time, Qin Luoheng stood up and left.
Zheng Ru went out to see him off.
When Qin Luoheng walked away, Zheng Ru shook his head.
He is very young, just twenty years old.
However, as the son of Zheng Guo, he knew what he could and could not say. He knew the purpose of Qin Luoheng's trip and what Qin Luoheng was doing at home, but he deliberately pretended not to know.
Zheng Ru turned around and went back to the house.
It didn't take long.
The servants of Zheng are back.
Zheng Ru informed Zheng Guo about Qin Luoheng's arrival.
Zheng Guo frowned and glanced at Zheng Ru, "Where is the slip?"
Zheng Ru took over the slips presented by Qin Luoheng.
Zheng Guo was sitting at the table, looking through the documents written by Qin Luoheng, and said, "You talked to Qin Luoheng, how did you reply to him?"
Zheng Rudao:
"My son did not agree with his idea."
"His public toilet method is actually very good and benefits the country and the people. However, for a short period of time, the court was busy with spring plowing and could not spare manpower. In addition, with the recent fluctuation of people's hearts, they continued to increase the number of corvees to build public toilets, which was not worth the gain. At least in the short term, Qin
Shi Zi’s suggestion is not appropriate.”
“Overall, it’s a good idea.”
Zheng Guo frowned and thought for a while, then said: "There is nothing wrong with your answer. Now that the Qin Dynasty is in trouble, it is not easy for the court to move. He has great ambitions and intends to implement the law of public toilets throughout the country. For now,
It’s really inappropriate.”
"This historian's ideas are quite novel."
"Using the method of public toilets to visit beautiful cities, fertilize the territory, and increase grain production. This method is very feasible. When the situation in the world is stabilized, I will recommend this method again. I think it will not be a big problem."
Zheng Rudao:
"My son thinks so too"
"However, Qin Shizi didn't think so. He proposed another solution."
Zheng Ru paused for a moment, as if hesitating whether to speak out. After hesitating for a while, he decided to tell Qin Luoheng's thoughts, "Qin Shizi said that the government can coordinate and coordinate the matter of public toilets, leaving the merchants to provide help.
"
"Merchant?" Zheng Guo frowned.
Zheng Ru continued: "I was shocked when I first heard it, but Qin Shizi was firm in his words and believed that this is completely feasible. We only need to use your majesty's pilot initiative to select a few counties in the world as pilot projects.
To verify the feasibility.”
"This historian's ideas are truly astonishing."
"When I heard these deviant words, I couldn't help but feel shocked. I didn't know how to answer the question. I was a little surprised that this Shizi would say such shocking words even though he was in class."
"Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, His Majesty has advocated centralization of power."
"His idea is clearly contrary to His Majesty's, but he is using His Majesty's pilot initiative to open the door for merchants to pursue profits. I can't see through this historian."
Zheng Guo closed his eyes slightly, "This Shi Zi is indeed extraordinary."
"Why did Aweng say that?" Zheng Ru was puzzled.
Zheng Guo rubbed the slip in his hand and said calmly: "You only saw his boldness, but you didn't see where he stood. Is what he wants for his own personal gain?"
Zheng Ru shook his head.
Zheng Guo continued:
"Since he is not seeking personal gain for himself, why would he open the door for merchants? He studied in the academy, so he naturally knows how much the court hates merchants. The reason why he proposed this idea is that he probably already has a countermeasure in mind.
"
"I just didn't explain it to you."
"I only heard about this Shi Zi recently."
"If you understand the growth process of this Shizi, you will find that he is very different from the officials' children and the clan children. He is extremely pragmatic. From the initial resolution of the case to the proposed public toilet method, his focus is
Solve the problem."
"You are more practical than your peers, but you are still a little too ambitious."
"Qin Luoheng comes from the bottom. His vision is indeed not as good as yours, but his ability is not inferior to yours. Just because he comes from the bottom, he has greater desires and a greater pursuit of making contributions."
"These people don't stick to trivial matters."
“Amazing ability to solve problems.”
"Aweng has such a high opinion of him?" Zheng Ru had a strange look in his eyes.
Zheng Guo smiled slightly.
He was happy to teach Zheng Ru.
Zheng Guodao: "You have gone to some school and understand some principles. If you were in Qin Luoheng's position, would you dare to come to me with slips like him?"
Zheng Ru hesitated for a moment, "I think so."
Zheng Guodao: "Do you dare to tell me about using merchants?"
Zheng Ru shook his head.
Zheng Guo said with a smile: "This is the difference between you and him. You will be afraid of failure, of being made things difficult for you, of being rejected, and even more afraid of leaving a bad impression on others, but he will not. He is such a determined person.
, as long as he is given a chance, he will definitely succeed."
"Do you know why he mentioned merchants to you?"
Zheng Ru shook his head again.
Zheng Guodao:
"Because he knew you would definitely tell me."
"You have always been calm, but Qin Luoheng became famous at a young age, and you have a desire to compare. His public toilet method is indeed a good idea, but you can't compare with it. It's just that your answer is remarkable. There is no difference between you.
There is a clear difference.”
"But his proposal to let merchants run the business made you think. You thought you knew Da Qin better than he did, so you rejected it right away. You even complained to me quite proudly. But as everyone knows, this was actually Qin Luoheng's deliberate move.
for."
"He has always only regarded you as a messenger."
"And you don't even realize it."
"You have great ambitions, but you have never been exposed to human affairs, and you still don't understand many things."
"When the Six Kingdoms are not destroyed."
"There are as many children from the families of the Six Kingdoms as there are crucian carp crossing the river, and many of them have talents in world management. However, their future is not determined by their ability, but by their origin.
.”
"When I was a Korean, I just joined the officialdom, and I didn't understand the reason. I thought I could get ahead by relying on my ability. But after staying in Korea for a while, I realized that this was not the case at all, so I took the initiative to 'accept the order'.
to the State of Qin."
"You read more books than I do, but that's all in the books after all."
"You are not young, it is time for you to become an official."
"I'm still in the court now, and I can still tell you about the twists and turns. If I step down in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to cope with it based on your current understanding."
"There are so many ways in the court?" Zheng Ru didn't believe it.
Zheng Guo sighed softly.
said:
"You should have heard of Gan Luo."
"He became prime minister at the age of nine, and where is he now?"
"Do you really think you are implicated because of the rumors?"
"Isn't it?" Zheng Ru said.
Zheng Guo shook his head and said: "Of course not."
"When the Guanzhong clan was in trouble, Gan Luo was indeed involved, but how could he be as guilty as the Hua, Yang and other clans?"
"The reason why he was demoted the most was actually because he had a fight with Li Si back then, but how could he ever fight against Li Si? He was clearly calculated by Li Si, and since then he was completely excluded from the court and stayed in a small county.
Ten years.”
"The water in the court is very deep."
"You can't even see through the thoughts of a Shizi now. If you really join the officialdom and have my relationship, you will go all the way up. But when I retire, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to deal with these scheming people."
"It's time for you to go out and see it."
"But what Great Qin values is still ability. Unless you are in a few key positions, no one will plot against you."
"Qin Luoheng is not plotting against you this time."
"He just wanted to talk to me, but I happened to not be home, and you took the initiative to meet me. He didn't want to be honest with you, but he wanted me to know his intentions, so he probably showed weakness and asked you to take his place.
The message was sent."
Hear the words.
Zheng Ru said with a bitter look on his face: "I knew in my heart that I had no resentment towards him. It was only after listening to Aweng's words that I realized how ignorant I was."
Zheng Guo smiled and said: "That's not entirely true. He is indeed smarter than you now, but after all, he has been working in the market since he was a child. It is normal for you to be an official before you become an official. After you become an official and have worked in the officialdom for a few months,
If you understand the twists and turns, you may not lose to him."
“Early savvy is just cleverness after all!”
Zheng Rudao:
"What Aweng said is absolutely true, and I believe it."
The father and son chatted for a while, and then Zheng Guo got up and went back to the room. Before leaving, he also told Zheng Ru that he should find a time to notify Qin Luoheng to come to the house to see him.
Zheng Ru nodded in agreement.
Dongcheng.
Qin Luoheng was lying on the couch.
He was still thinking about whether Zheng Ru had informed Zheng Guo of his thoughts. If he had not, then his efforts would have been in vain.
Lie down for a while.
Qin Luoheng laughed at himself:
"I am really a Shizi, but I have troubled the hearts of the courtiers."
"The likes and dislikes of Great Qin actually have nothing to do with me, but I don't know why I care so much about the rise and fall of Great Qin. Maybe it has something to do with the chief officials of Qin."
"Last time I contradicted the chief official, I felt a little sorry and wanted to take the opportunity to make up for it."
"It's just that if the chief officials knew my solution, I'm afraid they would scold me again, and maybe even scold me, 'It's not enough to make a plan.'"
"Ha ha."
Qin Luoheng shook his head, cleared his mind of worries, covered himself with quilt and fell asleep.
...
Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng is still processing the memorial.
He had just finished reading the memorial sent by Zongzheng.
The content is Hu Hai's acceptance of the levy (equivalent to sending betrothal gifts in later generations).
He still took Hu Hai's marriage seriously, and this time he adopted the specifications of a prince.
This is enough to show how seriously he takes it.
Putting the memorial aside, Ying Zheng remembered something.
The youngest son Hu Hai is already married, but Qin Luoheng is still alone.
This is really inappropriate.
Ying Zheng muttered to himself: "Qin Luoheng is not young anymore. Other young masters at his age have already married and had children. It is really shameful that he is still alone now. Many ministers in the court are still waiting for him."
You can arrange a match to marry the daughter of your boudoir."
"It's just that his status as a historian is a bit inappropriate."
"It's just a forced marriage proposal for Qin Luoheng. I'm afraid he will complain. He was a little dissatisfied with me last time."
