Meng Yi nodded, "About the same."
The Qin Dynasty is a little poor now, but it is much better now. At least there is no war.
Zhao Qingrui pursed her lips and said nothing, and Meng Yi didn't know what she was thinking.
The road to Xianyang was very long and it took five or six hours to get there.
Following Meng Yi, we walked into Xianyang City. It was afternoon and there were still many people in Xianyang City.
"This is where the master usually lives." Meng Yi brought Zhao Qingrui to a prosperous house. The house was very new and in a very good location. It was in the inner city of Xianyang, not far from the street.
The place where Meng Yi brought Zhao Qingrui was a house under his family's name, and he didn't dare to bring Zhao Qingrui to the palace.
"The master is not at home now, Miss, please rest in the yard first."
"Well, thank you Uncle Meng." Zhao Qingrui nodded. He was very tired after sitting in the carriage for most of the day.
The courtyard arranged by Meng Yi was very large and the environment was elegant. Zhao Qingrui thought it was pretty good.
On the other side, Meng Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, hurriedly called the housekeeper over, and told him how to treat Zhao Qingrui so as to prevent Zhao Qingrui from discovering anything.
After giving the instructions, he hurried into the palace.
"Your Majesty, Minister Meng Yi requests an audience," Zhao Gao said, bowing.
"He's back? Let him in." Ying Zheng said immediately. He didn't know how his little girl was doing. Zhao Qingrui didn't say much in the letter, so he was not very reassured.
When Meng Yi came in, Zhao Gao was called out.
Standing outside Wangyi Palace, Zhao Gao had a gloomy face. He was determined to kill Meng Yi when he found an opportunity.
He still held a grudge against what had happened. He had committed a crime and should have been executed according to Qin law.
The law enforcement officer was Meng Yi, who was a loyal and honest man. The laws of the Qin State had always been strict. Although Qin Shihuang favored him, Meng Yi still did not dare to protect Zhao Gao, so he ordered Zhao Gao to be executed according to the law.
After Qin Shihuang learned that Zhao Gao had committed a crime, he pardoned Zhao Gao's death sentence and allowed him to continue serving as an official.
Because of this incident, Zhao Gao disliked Meng Yi even more and felt that Meng Yi wanted to take this opportunity to kill him.
Meng Yi had no idea about Zhao Gao's thoughts, and he never thought that Zhao Gao would remember this matter for so many years.
"Your Majesty, the little princess has followed me back to Xianyang." Meng Yi honestly explained the reason why Zhao Qingrui followed him back to Xianyang.
"People from the Mohist school, cough cough cough, what does Qingrui want them to do?" Ying Zheng asked in confusion after picking up the water cup and taking a sip.
"The little princess only said that she needed a lot of craftsmen. I think the little princess must have other plans." Meng Yi shook his head.
"Since Qingrui has come to Xianyang, I will go to see her tomorrow. Please ask the people in the yard over there to be smart and not say anything too much in front of Qingrui." Ying Zheng was of course happy that his daughter came to Xianyang to see him, but he was very busy at this time and had no time to accompany his daughter properly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already made all the arrangements." Meng Yi said seriously.
Meng Yi was prudent in his work, and Ying Zheng was very relieved.
On the second day, Zhao Qingrui walked in Xianyang City with her maid. She planned to stroll around Xianyang first to understand the situation there before going to the Mohist School.
Sheng Guanping had already told her the location of the Mohist School. They were stationed in Xianyang and she could go there at any time.
There are far more people in Xianyang than in Beidi County, and there is a constant stream of people coming and going.
This was the first time she had seen such a scene since she came to Daqin.
"Miss, Xianyang is so lively."
Chunxi was also in Xianyang for the first time. Many of the things sold around were not available at Jingshui Pavilion, and the variety was much greater than at Jingshui Pavilion. He felt that his eyes were not enough to see, and everything he saw was new and interesting.
Zhao Qingrui nodded. Compared to Beidi County, this place was indeed very lively. After all, this was the capital of the Qin Dynasty.
However, in Zhao Qingrui's eyes, these things are all antiques and will definitely be valuable in the future.
Things here are too monotonous, far from the modern bustle.
There are many things here that my father bought and sent to Jingshui Pavilion.
Apart from the initial novelty, Zhao Qingrui soon lost interest.
In a teahouse in Xianyang, people from various schools of thought were promoting their own schools of thought, which attracted Zhao Qingrui's attention.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Qingrui took Chunxi to find a seat and sat down, listening to their debate with great interest.
Farmers discussed what to plant in spring and how to plant it.
The doctors discussed the difficult and complicated diseases they encountered and how to treat them.
The diplomats discussed the current situation of the Qin Dynasty using the strategy of vertical and horizontal tactics. They were strategists engaged in political and diplomatic activities.
Taoists advocated the idea of governing by doing nothing, and the School of Names engaged in academic activities debating between names (names, concepts) and facts (facts, reality).
.......
If history continues to develop, we will never see such a lively scene again.
Emperor Wu of Han implemented the policy of abolishing all schools of thought and respecting only Confucianism to consolidate his rule. Only Confucianism remained, and other schools of thought declined even more.
Chunxi was also standing beside Zhao Qingrui and watching. He had no idea what those people were talking about. Why was the young lady watching with such relish?
Zhao Qingrui is very interested in these people, as they are rare talents.
When the great cause is accomplished, we must make sure that these people can realize their value.
Many of the concepts these people talked about are still amazing even in modern times.
Especially those of the Mohist school, who advocated such ideas as "universal love", "non-aggression", "respecting the virtuous", "respecting the same", "Heaven's will", "understanding ghosts", "non-fatalism", "non-music", "simple burials" and "thrifty spending".
"Miss, those are the people from the Mohist School. Should we go over there?" Chunxi asked in a low voice after hearing what the people from the Mohist School were saying.
"No need, let's go tomorrow." Zhao Qingrui shook his head.
She had her own plans, and she needed a lot of help from the Mohist people. Although she was confident that her forging skills could attract them, this was not the place to talk.
Besides, it’s impossible to be so casual when visiting someone in person. She has specially prepared gifts for the Mo family members and she believes they will like them.
When Zhao Qingrui stood up to leave, he felt a little reluctant.
It was such a waste that His Majesty the First Emperor just left these talents alone and did not make use of them.
Perhaps it was because Zhao Qingrui had listened too attentively before, which also attracted the attention of those who were talking about it.
"My name is Zajia Mao. Miss, are you also interested in what we are talking about?" Seeing Zhao Qingrui was about to leave, a young man walked over.
Zhao Qingrui was outstanding in appearance, and she kept staring at them, so it was impossible for them not to notice her.
This girl looks unfamiliar and should not be from Xianyang.
Zhao Qingrui looked strange, "Miscellaneous grass?"
I didn't expect there was someone with this name. It really broadened my horizons.
"You can call me that." Zamao smiled, his heart pounding fast, it was a heart-pounding feeling.
