"By the way, your son Buyi is also studying here. I think he is doing very well. You are lucky." Xie Peiyun looked at Zhang Liang enviously.
"I want Yaya to go to school, but she always refuses to go. I want to teach her, but she doesn't have the patience."
"Yaya is still young, she will be fine in two years. Mr. Xie, don't worry." Zhang Liang comforted.
"Forget it, let's not talk about Yaya anymore. Let's accompany Mr. Zhao for dinner first. We will help Mr. Zhao clean up his residence later." Xie Peiyun waved his hand.
His daughter is still young, so he is not in a hurry.
"Good." Zhang Liang nodded.
He also respected Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao was much more knowledgeable than he thought. Whenever he was free, he would come and ask Mr. Zhao Wen for advice.
After having dinner with them, the two of them diligently helped Zhao Wen clean up the house, and Zhao Wen called them together.
"What do you want, sir?" the two men asked respectfully.
"What are your plans for the future?" Zhao Wen looked at the two of them. He was Zhao Qingrui's man, so naturally he had to consider Zhao Qingrui.
"My plan is, I think what I do in the official newspaper is pretty good, I should devote the rest of my life to the official newspaper." Xie Peiyun said with a smile, he already had his own plan, and he also liked this line of work.
Zhao Wen nodded and looked at Zhang Liang, "What about you?"
He knew the students he had taught better. Xie Peiyun's knot in his heart had been resolved, Yaya was fine, and the people who had chased them were dead. He no longer had any motivation.
He was helpless about this kind of thing. Everyone had their own aspirations, so he didn't interfere much.
"Sir, I would like to assist His Highness." After a moment of silence, Zhang Liang said seriously.
"I heard you are Korean." Zhao Wen smiled.
"Yes." Zhang Liang nodded.
"Don't you want to restore the country?"
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly. "Sir, you're joking. Your Highness is right. The unification of the world is the general trend. The people of Qin are living very well now, much better off than those under Han. There's no need to restore the country."
"It's good that you can figure it out. In fact, the people of Qian don't care who is the emperor. They only support whoever can bring them peace and keep them well fed and clothed." Zhao Wen looked out the window, standing with his hands behind his back.
"I am grateful for your advice." After two seconds of silence, Zhang Liang bowed and said.
He knew how naive he had been before. He was a descendant of the Korean people and he wanted to restore his country. However, the damage caused by the war was not enough to say whether he could restore his country. As long as he started the war, the people would definitely not support him anymore.
The people also want the Qin Dynasty to unify the world.
Although I have given up, the hurdle in my heart is still not easy to overcome.
"If possible, I think you can go around and see what the people need." Zhao Wen suggested seriously.
Zhao Qingrui was optimistic about Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang was a little depressed, so Zhao Qingrui spoke up to comfort him.
"Let's go for a walk. Thank you for your guidance, sir." Zhang Liang seemed to be thinking about something.
In the past, he was only concerned with restoring his country. When he had money, he would find a way to hire a killer to assassinate Ying Zheng, or he would find a way to contact Xiang Liang and others to fight against Qin. He never paid any attention to the lives of the people.
After being left in Xianyang by Zhao Qingrui, his daily job was to be Zhao Qingrui's secretary, helping him handle various government affairs, and he had no chance to come into contact with the people.
After leaving Zhao Wen's residence, Xie Peiyun patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said, "Her Highness values you very much. Don't let her down."
Over the past year, he has also gotten to know Zhang Liang better.
After saying this, Xie Peiyun turned and left.
Zhang Liang was walking alone in the alley. Curfew was about to begin, but he felt very uneasy.

"Your Highness, this is a memorial from Lingnan. The caravans they sent to other countries have returned." Wang Xian excitedly handed the memorial from Lingnan to Zhao Qingrui.
"It's been so long, it's time to come back." Zhao Qingrui suddenly realized and took the letter and read it carefully.
The memorial was written by Zhang Han, recording the gains from the voyage.
Looking at the several pages of records above, Zhao Qingrui raised the corners of his lips. What they brought back this time were mostly various gems, as well as some local specialties.
These things have been sent back, and Zhao Qingrui is eager to go and see them.
"Wang Xian, go call our father, elder brother Fusu, elder brother Jianglu, and sister Yinman over, and let's go see the gems we brought back from overseas." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
"Yes." Wang Xian took the order and left.
Among the things sent back, what surprised Zhao Qingrui the most were some gold nuggets. Judging from Zhang Han's report, there must be quite a few gold mines discovered there.
Gold mines have many uses, not just for making coins.
After a while, they were all invited to Zhangtai Palace.
"Go and get the things we brought back from Lingnan." Zhao Qingrui looked at the eunuch beside him.
Dozens of large boxes were carried in and opened one by one. The bright light almost blinded Zhao Qingrui.
"Are these the gems you brought back?" Ying Zheng walked over and picked up a ruby. The gem was only the size of a pigeon egg, without any other colors, crystal clear and very beautiful.
"Yes, these are all gems, and the rest are gold nuggets. There are too many, so I only asked someone to bring two boxes over." Zhao Qingrui pointed to the two boxes at the back. The gold nuggets in the boxes had not been smelted and it was obvious that they had just been mined.
"How many gold mines do they have?" Ying Zheng's gaze instantly fell on the last two inconspicuous boxes, his eyes shining.
"Looking at Zhang Han's memorial, there should be some, and there are also many other gems." Zhao Qingrui was also looking forward to it, looking forward to the day when his father would turn this place into his own territory.
Ying Zheng's heart was burning with excitement. Since that was the case, after dealing with the Xiongnu and Yuezhi tribes, the first thing he would do was to deal with the Maurya Dynasty.
"If there really are a large amount of gold mines, it will be more beneficial to our Great Qin." Fusu picked up a gold nugget and weighed it.
"These gems are so beautiful." Yin Man picked up a beautiful agate and couldn't let go of the various gems.
"There are indeed a lot of these gems. If I sell them, I will definitely get a lot of money." Jiang Lu touched his chin. Even he liked these beautiful gems. They would definitely be popular if he sold them.
"My brothers and sisters are right. Those people are guarding the treasure mountain. Are you tempted, father?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng.
"Of course I am tempted. Those barbarians don't deserve to enjoy these good things. They belong to my Great Qin." Ying Zheng said domineeringly.
Knowing where there are treasures and where there are large amounts of land and population are what the Qin Dynasty needs.
"Father, don't you want to pacify those Xiongnu tribes and fight against the Maurya Dynasty? We don't know when you will go. Why are you in such a hurry?" Fusu said helplessly. The Qin Dynasty had just been stabilized, and he was really afraid that his father would send troops to conquer these countries without caring about the consequences.
