Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 129 CRRC Order

"Father, are you talking about the students from Daqin Academy?"

"They are the commoner students enrolled by Daqin College."

Ying Zheng corrected.

"Those students have no status or background, making them the most suitable to compete with the nobles."

"Moreover, as long as the academy exists, it can continuously cultivate talents."

"I can choose someone who is suitable for my position."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he continued to deal with the memorials, regardless of what Fusu was thinking.

If you still can't figure this out, then you can go back to Zhang Qing and continue learning.

You are not even qualified to handle memorials for me.

After a long time, Fusu looked at Ying Zheng and smiled. It was a rare moment when Fusu and Ying Zheng had such a tacit understanding.

Fusu understood what his father meant and was not angry at the moment.

If my father has given me so many pointers and I still can't think clearly, how can I have the face to see my teacher?

After thinking things through, Fusu looked at the memorial on the desk in front of him, then looked at the memorial on Zigao's desk, and sighed deeply.

Come on, Fusu.

The next day, Fusu went to Zhang Yuanqing's house with his answer.

"Very good, my lord is very smart."

After hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing stood up happily and patted Fusu's shoulder.

"My Lord, Eunuch Zhao requests an audience."

Eunuch Zhao?

Fusu didn't react at first to who this eunuch Zhao was.

"Please come in quickly."

"promise."

Zhao Gao quickly came to the study and saw the eldest son was there.

"Gao greets the Right Prime Minister, the eldest son."

"Eunuch Zhao, please take a seat."

"The paper mill and printing factory are thanks to the hard work of Eunuch Zhao."

"I've noticed that Eunuch Zhao has become a bit thin these days. After returning to Xianyang, Eunuch Zhao must take good care of his health."

Zhao Gao was happy that his efforts were noticed by others.

"Thank you for your concern, Right Prime Minister. I feel no pain for you, the King, and for sharing your worries."

"If the Right Prime Minister needs anything, please let Gao know."

Fusu was impressed to see that the teacher could coax Zhao Gao into doing more with just two or three words.

Fusu should learn this skill well, as it will be of great use in the future.

"Eunuch Zhao is very capable and has earned the king's trust. I will need your help in the future."

"I can't bear the Right Prime Minister's behavior. If you have anything to say, please let me know."

Zhao Gao smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.

The Right Prime Minister’s praise is too high.

The king trusts the right prime minister, which means that the king also recognizes Gao.

Gao still needs to continue working hard and do more for the king.

"Alright, Eunuch Zhao, go back and rest first. I will report Eunuch Zhao's achievements to the king. When the king learns of his effective work, he will surely reward him generously."

"Thank you, Right Prime Minister. I will take my leave."

After watching Zhao Gao leave, Fusu looked at his teacher seriously, as if he wanted to see a flower on his teacher's face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhang Yuanqing was puzzled.

Fusu sat up straight and said seriously, "Why is it that every time you praise someone, it always goes to their heart?"

"Could it be that the teacher knows what others are thinking?"

Zhang Yuanqing was stunned. How should I answer this?

Does it mean that because I know history, I know what they desire in their hearts, and only then can I speak from the heart of the other party?

"As long as you observe carefully, you will definitely be able to do it."

"As long as we are human, we have desires, ambitions, and ideals. We just need to find out what the other person wants and desires most, and then we can exploit it."

Fusu nodded and prepared to go back and think about it carefully.

"So what does the teacher want most?"

"me"

Zhang Yuanqing chuckled softly, his voice gentle and calm.

"What I want most is for the king to unify the world, so that the people can have enough food to eat, enough clothes to wear, the young to be taken care of, and the elderly to be taken care of. All the lands that extend to the mountains and rivers will belong to Qin, and all the lands that the sun and moon shine on will belong to Qin people."

After an unknown amount of time, Fusu raised his sleeve and carefully wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye. He bowed deeply to his teacher.

"The teacher's ambition is beyond Fusu's reach."

"Fusu will take his teacher's aspirations as his own. I will dedicate my life to strengthening the Qin Empire."

Looking at Fusu, who was almost as tall as himself, Zhang Yuanqing felt emotional.

"Qin has a great king and a prince, and will surely become increasingly powerful."

After leaving Zhang Yuanqing's mansion, Fusu returned to Zhangtai Palace.

At this time, Ying Zheng was having dinner.

"Why didn't my son have dinner at Zhang Qing's place today?"

Shi Yi hurried to get food for the eldest son, and the father and son finished their meal quietly.

After Shi Yi cleaned up the dishes and left, Fusu asked Ying Zheng, "Father, what is your ambition?"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, "Why would you ask this question today?"

"But this is the homework your teacher gave you?"

Fusu shook his head.

"No, it's just that Fusu was too shocked by what the teacher said today. That's why Fusu asked this question."

Shocked?

"Tell me, what did Zhang Qing say that made my son so distracted?"

Don't think he didn't notice just now that the boy was absent-minded during the meal.

"Father, Eunuch Zhao came to see the teacher today..."

Fusu recounted in detail what happened at his teacher's house today.

All the lands where the mountains and rivers extend are Qin territory, and all the lands where the sun and the moon shine are Qin people.

Among so many words, Ying Zheng only remembered these two sentences.

He sat there for a long time without saying a word.

The historian on duty on one side of the hall couldn't help but tremble.

The hand holding the pen was already a little twisted.

However, the historian refused to put down his pen, fearing that he would forget it later.

Holding his right wrist with his left hand, he carefully recorded every word, stroke by stroke, in the book.

"Having Mr. Zhang is the greatest blessing of my life."

After a long time, Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and said something.

Fusu bowed and said, "It is the great honor of my life to be able to have you as my teacher."

The next day, the king summoned Zhao Gao, who was able to perform his duties effectively, and he was promoted to the position of Minister of the Imperial Chariots.

After the eunuch was ordered to leave, Zhao Gao laughed happily for a long time at home, rubbing his hands and spinning in circles.

Seeing the Minister of the Imperial Chariots acting so crazy, the servants in the house all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

After a long time, Zhao Gao calmed down, changed into new clothes, and went to thank the Right Prime Minister with gifts.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing had just received news from the Qing Dynasty.

After Qing returned to Bashu, he began to arrange for the caravan to be protected by fifty soldiers and head to the land of Baiyue.

According to the information provided by Zhang Yuanqing, the destination they were heading to was South Vietnam.

After reading it, Zhang Yuanqing put the letter aside.

"The Imperial Chariot Commander?"

When Zhang Yuanqing heard Ah Da say that the Minister of the Imperial Chariots was coming to visit, he didn't know who it was for a moment.

"My Lord, it's Eunuch Zhao. This morning, the King has promoted Eunuch Zhao to the position of Imperial Chariot Officer."

Zhang Yuanqing was silent.

History is here again.

"Please come in."

"promise."

"Greetings to the Right Prime Minister."

Seeing Zhao Gao's new clothes, Zhang Yuanqing also understood the joy in Zhao Gao's heart at the moment.

"Eunuch Zhao has been promoted to the Minister of the Imperial Chariots. I should be happy for him."

"Thanks to the Right Prime Minister's favor, otherwise Gao would never have had the opportunity to serve the king."

"I came here this time to thank the Right Prime Minister for his promotion."

Zhao Gao sat on the chair and felt relieved to see Zhang Yuanqing being so polite.

"You are too polite, Minister of the Imperial Chariot Office."

"Actually, I have something else to ask the Minister of the Imperial Chariots for help."
