Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Going to Pei County

The pig-killing banquet held by Zhu Dan in Lantian County was very successful, and the pork, bacon and sausages he brought back were undoubtedly loved by everyone.

I was a little disgusted at first because the sausage was made of pork, but after tasting it, I was amazed by it.

Not only did he not despise it, but he also asked someone if the king had any more.

When they learned that the sausages given to them by the king were made by the imperial master, they immediately sent people to Lantian County to buy them at high prices from the common people who had received the New Year gifts.

If they are only willing to sell a small amount, you can't force them to buy it all, so you have to be polite.

There's nothing we can do about it. It's the same fate as the Xiang family in Lantian County.

When it is no longer available for purchase, all we can do is look forward to the arrival of spring.

I heard that the national master will raise more fat pigs next year, and I also heard that the national master's method of raising pigs is to castrate the pigs first... Of course, Zhu Dan doesn't care about the rumors from the outside world.

She would either stay in the National Master's Hall for the winter or come to Lantian County to promote the kang. After the kang was on track, Zhu Dan focused her attention on printing brochures.

This year passed very comfortably. At the first grand court meeting after the vacation, Ying Zheng announced a piece of news that shocked the entire court. He wanted to summon talented people from all over the world to Xianyang to revise the Qin laws.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang immediately ran to find Zhu Dan.

Zhu Dan blinked at him and said proudly, "Well? I told you, Brother Zheng is someone who listens to advice. As long as I do the right thing, there's nothing I can't accomplish."

She has such confidence.

Zhang Liang was in mixed mood.

In the past, he would never have thought that a paranoid King Qin would shake the foundation of the Qin State, but now, it has happened.

Yes, how much has happened in Xianyang in the past six months? Could he have imagined it before?

For example, everyone knows that the King of Qin was almost crazy in his pursuit of immortality, and any alchemist who had a little connection with immortality would be favored by him and could get whatever he wanted.

Zhang Liang used to think that he was just a liar, and never imagined that there really was a god descending to earth.

Zhu Dan didn't care how complicated his mood was and asked directly: "Have you learned all the pinyin I taught you? There are also a thousand commonly used characters..."

Zhang Liang suddenly interrupted: "I am more interested in mathematics than Chinese."

It's not that he is more interested, but the language that Zhu Dan mentioned involves simplified Chinese characters, which is too critical. Zhang Liang doesn't think that the King of Qin will agree to let him promote it.

Mathematics, on the other hand, was a new type of subject that he had never encountered before, but his intuition told him that it was crucial.

Zhu Dan was stunned. She didn't think as deeply as Zhang Liang did, but she respected his opinion. "Okay, since you like math, you can study it in the future. By the way, you should know the equations I taught you. I'll give you a few problems..."

Interesting word problems such as chickens and rabbits in the same cage, water in and out, etc. are all served.

Ordinary people naturally don’t come across such complex mathematics in their daily lives, but for a sage of strategy or a top think tank, the challenge can be much higher.

Zhu Dan is looking forward to exploring calculus on his own.

Because she didn't learn calculus and geometry when she was in college in her first life, she had only heard of them but had no idea what they were like.

Low-level mathematics involves all aspects of daily life, while high-level mathematics involves many fields and is the foundation of everything.

Someone has to conquer it. Zhu Dan didn't put all her hopes on Zhang Liang. Anyway, she would test every one of them. What if she happened to meet a top mathematical talent?

That is a treasure of the whole world.

Zhu Dan was teaching Zhang Liang mathematics, and occasionally took him to do some small physics and chemistry experiments to relax.

Elsewhere in Pei County, the county magistrate once again came to Xiao He's home and asked in confusion, "You are the chief clerk of Pei County. You are responsible for managing personnel, government affairs, and the enforcement of laws and regulations in the county, and you do an excellent job. I think you are very talented in this area. Why didn't you accept the summons to Xianyang?"

Although Pei County is not close to Xianyang, the county magistrate of Pei County is a Qin official, not recommended by a noble family, and is therefore separated from Pei County by a layer.

Therefore, he was very concerned about the developments in Xianyang, and also used Xianyang's situation to warn the noble families in Pei County not to act rashly. The two sides formed a relationship that was neither an enemy nor a friend.

Xiao He was born in Pei County, but the county magistrate had no prejudice against him. Instead, he recognized his talent and wanted to recommend him to be an official in Xianyang, but he had been rejected before.

When he heard the summons from Xianyang not long ago, he became interested again. He didn't expect that Xiao He had crossed out his name.

Faced with the county magistrate's sincere yet doubtful gaze, Xiao He remained silent.

In the past, he politely rejected the county magistrate's suggestion without any hesitation, because he had long seen the chaos in Xianyang.

He speculated that the King of Qin would only live for one or two years.

Once the King of Qin died, there would definitely be no second successor as talented and capable as him to turn the tide.

Therefore, Daqin was bound to be in chaos, Xianyang was bound to be in chaos, and he did not want to be involved in it and declined politely.

But now, Xiao He hesitated.

Half a year ago, he observed the stars at night and suddenly found that the originally faint Emperor Star was gradually becoming brighter.

Especially on a certain day, the light shone brightly, sweeping away the previous decline. If nothing unexpected happened, this meant that the dying King of Qin had obtained a special opportunity to prolong his life, and the fortune of the Qin Dynasty also became strong.

The clear direction became blurred and he couldn't even deduce it.

Xiao He immediately asked the traveling merchant what had happened.

In fact, there was no need to ask much. Soon, a piece of news reached everyone's ears.

The change in the Qin Dynasty was caused by the emergence of a national teacher who claimed to be a disciple of a god!

At that time, Xiao He's expression was very solemn.

An outsider would definitely think that this was a liar, but he knew it was not the case. The change of the Emperor Star could not be faked, and the change of the fortune of the Qin Dynasty from the previous decline to prosperity could not be faked either.

The Qin laws were strict, and no matter how talented and wise the King of Qin was, he could not change this. But this immortal disciple who came from nowhere actually assisted the King of Qin!

Xiao He fell into deep worry.

At this time, he naturally could not imagine that his future achievement would be to become a founding hero of the Han Dynasty. What he was worried about was that they, their descendants, and tens of thousands of people in Qian would have to live in fear of every step they took, wondering whether they had violated the Qin law.

He thought of the time when Liu Ji accidentally injured Xiahou Ying and was reported to the government. Liu Ji, as a pavilion chief, was about to be severely sentenced for injuring others, but Xiahou Ying firmly denied the incident and was imprisoned for a year and whipped hundreds of times before Liu Ji was spared punishment.

But is it actually necessary?

The two were just joking. Neither the person who hurt the other nor the person who was hurt meant it and they wouldn't mind it. But someone reported it and the government had to intervene.

Qin's laws were like locking them in a cage of rules. If they stepped out of line, they would be pricked by thorns. In the long run, they would become like the walking corpse...

Xiao He was a smart man who could see things very far ahead, but this was precisely why he became even more miserable.

He originally thought that this kind of life would end soon, but he didn't expect that a disciple of a god would suddenly appear.

During that time, he felt somewhat depressed and blamed this immortal disciple: "The Qin Dynasty was so cruel, why did you assist it? Is the way of heaven so unfair? Can't it see our pain and tears?"

It was not until he heard the news coming from Xianyang that Xiao He's depression eased a little.

He didn't know whether the rumors were exaggerated or whether the national teacher was putting on a show, but at least this national teacher was not like the King of Qin. She could see the ordinary people.

It was not until he heard the news that the King of Qin wanted to revise the Qin laws that Xiao He was truly moved.

However, he was always cautious and hesitated when the county magistrate recommended him to go to Xianyang. When the county magistrate came to him again, he still did not give a definite number.

He just said that there were elderly, weak, women and children at home who needed to be taken care of, so he had to think about it again.

He wasn't just saying this to please the county magistrate. He truly felt that the situation was uncertain and he wanted to wait and see for a while.

There is very little information about this immortal disciple who appeared out of nowhere.

When the county magistrate left in disappointment, a man suddenly walked out of the room, looking nonchalant and chewing a piece of grass. "Why did you refuse again? That old man was very sincere."

Xiao He did not answer, but asked in return: "What about you, Liu Ji, what do you think? Where do you plan to go in the future? Are you going to hang around in the market like this forever?" There was a frightening sharpness in Xiao He's calm and gentle eyes.

Liu Ji didn't say anything for a moment, crunching the grass roots until the slightest bit of sweetness disappeared, then he spat it out and said, "As for me, I'd like to find an opportunity to visit Xianyang."

He bent his fingers and tapped the table twice, his expression still nonchalant, making it impossible to tell his true thoughts. "I don't know who that national teacher is. Even the King of Qin was shaken by what he said." But he was talking about the revision of Qin law.

For someone who once said that a real man should be like this when he saw Qin Shi Huang on tour, it is naturally impossible that this ambition was born after the death of the King of Qin, but - Liu Ji pursed his lips.

As I said, as long as the King of Qin was alive, he would naturally let him do whatever he wanted.

However, the two people in the conversation did not know that the imperial teacher they were curious about was already on his way to Pei County.

Zhu Dan originally planned to go to Pei County after the Qingming Festival. After all, she attached great importance to this year's spring plowing and had to keep an eye on it no matter what.

There are many seeds created by Nirvana Dan. This season's spring plowing is very critical, and the celebrities in Pei County can't escape.

Since Zheng Ge wanted to revise the harsh Qin laws, it is unlikely that Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others would miss the deadline due to heavy rain and would simply give up and start an uprising.

In comparison, the fields are more important.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are the most famous because it was the first rebellion initiated by ordinary people from the lower classes, but there were indeed many rebellions in the Qin Dynasty, and the remnants of the six kingdoms were not idle.

In Zhu Dan's view, only by developing farming so that everyone can have enough to eat can people's hearts be stabilized and this scourge be eradicated.

However, when she checked the seeds, she found that the simulation was indeed idealistic. In reality, the first thing she had to face was the problem of seed preservation, and then the various problems that would arise when the seeds were planted in the ground.

After undergoing the transformation of Nirvana Pill, the quality of the seeds is not bad, but there will be losses from planting to growth to flowering to fruiting.

Moreover, the genes of these seeds have undergone a very simple and crude replacement, so there is no guarantee that they will not be susceptible to poor soil and water quality.

When Zhu Dan had this premonition, he immediately decided to go to Pei County in advance.

She remembered that Xiao He was an outstanding talent in internal affairs. Even though Liu Bang suffered so many defeats, he was able to supply food.

His good fortune may help the crops to be abundant and the chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and cattle to grow healthily.

Zhu Dan is going to open a large-scale breeding farm this year, and it would be great if there was someone who could keep her livestock from getting sick.

When she thought of this, she felt a little regretful that she had been so busy taking advantage of the Qin Dynasty's emperor and ministers that she had forgotten so many founding heroes of the Han Dynasty. What a pig brain she had!

Fortunately, it is not too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost.

Zhu Dan packed up and set off in a light car.

This time, apart from a group of armored guards, she only brought Yun Qiu and Zhang Liang.

Yun Qiu was the chief steward, arranging accommodation along the way, while Zhang Liang followed Zhu Dan to learn anytime and anywhere.

Moreover, Zhu Dan had another secret thought. Perhaps Zhang Liang could help her convince the people of Pei County to willingly contribute their luck?

Liu Bang was the Emperor Gaozu of Han, who knew how to appoint talented people to the right positions. Empress Lü was the second generation of Liu and Emperor Taizong of Han. There were also Xiahou Ying, Fan Kuai, and Zhou Bo... Who would be the lucky one to be the first one chosen by her to refine the elixir?

Oh, there are so many celebrities to choose from.
