Chapter 272 Scholars Enter the City



Zhao Jun doesn't care what they think.

Anyway, she has already got the money and the university is already under construction.

At this time, the white-haired old man and his two young disciples slowly walked to the foot of the city wall of Xianyang.

The three of them stood in front of the door and stared at the city wall for a long time. Finally, the old man said something slowly.

"We're finally here."

After saying this, he took his two disciples into the city.

When Zhao Jun and the other two came back from inspecting the construction progress outside, they met the old man in the Nei Shi Mansion.

"Who is this?"

Zhao Jun was very confused. Why would an ordinary citizen come to the Nei Shi Mansion?

Wang Deng came close to Zhao Jun and explained in a low voice.

"Sir, this person claimed to have come here after hearing about the news that the Imperial Household Department had sent out to summon scholars from various schools of thought. Therefore, I have allowed them to stay for the time being."

As soon as Wang Deng finished speaking, he saw Zhao Jun rushing up with a quick step.

The two men beside the old man subconsciously wanted to step forward to protect the old man, but they were unexpectedly pushed away by the old man.

"I am Mr. Zhao from the Imperial Household Department. I was the one who sent the recruitment notice. May I ask which school of thought you belong to, sir?"

Zhao Jun asked with great excitement and bowed respectfully.

This old man with white hair looks like a very learned man.

The two disciples were shocked by her attitude.

The old man was not surprised by the praise or criticism. He stroked his long beard and answered.

"I dare not call you sir, but I am Shi Si, a Confucian scholar. I came here after hearing the news released by the Qin State. I hope you will not blame me."

The old man nodded politely in response.

"So you are a Confucian scholar. You must have worked hard on the journey. The weather is still cold now."

Zhao Jun hurriedly asked several people to go into the house to rest.

"Mr. Shi, to be honest, you were the first scholar from the Hundred Schools of Thought to arrive in Xianyang."

Zhao Jun started talking to the old man.

Although she had been paying attention to the movements of various scholars coming to Xianyang, her information was not accurate enough and she did not know if anyone had already arrived.

"Sir, please drink some water."

Fusu took the teacup brought by the outsider and handed it to Shi Si personally.

The King of Zhao knew that although he was in the Qin State, which was governed by law, he actually liked Confucianism in his heart.

So this kind of respect is understandable.

Fusu was indeed very excited. He had been looking forward to the exchanges among scholars from various schools.

Especially Confucianism, he still likes some Confucian lectures.

"Really? Then it seems I got the first place."

Shi Si said this very humorously.

Then the two exchanged a few more pleasantries.

"Mr. Shi, I will arrange for you to stay in Xianyang first. We may have to wait until most of the scholars arrive before we can discuss the recruitment together."

"Okay, thank you very much, sir."

Shi Si nodded in understanding.

Zhao Jun couldn't help but sigh as he watched the old man walking away.

"Although this old man is old, he is in good health. He looks weathered, but he is energetic and humorous."

You can tell a person’s character from his spirit. She is really looking forward to the scholars coming to Xianyang this time.

"Indeed, Mr. Shi is indeed talented."

Fusu murmured in adoration.

Zhao Jun glanced at him.

"They haven't even started discussing the Dao yet, how do you see their talent?"

She felt that this was Fusu Chunchun's fan filter.

"Sir, scholars have begun to enter the city. Shouldn't we make preparations?"

Qingliu suggested from the side.

"Yes, you're right, that's what I was just about to say."

She pulled Qingliu back into the house, then turned back and called out to Fusu who was still standing there.

"Stop looking and come in and get down to business."

Fusu Huiyu quickly followed into the house.

"Qingliu, tell me how to prepare first."

Qingliu has already made a suggestion, so let her finish.

"It's like this. Some scholars have heard the news and entered the city. Although the news came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we can't ask everyone to go through the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I'm afraid that Your Excellency won't be able to accommodate them."

"Furthermore, some scholars simply heard the news from Xianyang, but they don't know where it originated, and some may not even know who to contact."

"So I suggest setting up a reception area at the city gate entrance, with eye-catching signs to remind people that scholars entering the city can find the organization immediately."

"Furthermore, after the city gate staff receive these scholars, they can take them directly to the designated rooms. Finally, when everyone is almost all present, the adults can arrange for them to meet and discuss together."

"This will be more efficient, and adults won't have to be busy receiving people every day."

Qingliu spoke slowly and methodically.

Zhao Jun nodded repeatedly in affirmation.

"That's right, Qingliu, you've thought it through very carefully. This is how we should do it. How come you're so powerful now?"

She was generous with her praise and praised him highly, even giving him a thumbs up, which made Qingliu blush.

Praise should be given for good work, and encouragement is necessary.

Zhao Jun nodded in agreement with her suggestion, then turned to look at Fusu.

"Fusu, look at you. You were so excited just now that you didn't think about these things."

Zhao Jun said this jokingly, and from such jokes you can see the close relationship between the two.

Fusu also knew that she was joking so he was not angry at all, and even felt a little ashamed.

"Sir, you're right. I was too excited and didn't think about it."

"It's okay. Since Qingliu has already proposed the method, then you can be responsible for leading the team to do this, okay?"
