Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 444 Zhang Cang returns home!

"This guy is already smarter than a tiger!" Zhao Si said when he saw this.

"Why do you say this?" The First Emperor enjoyed Amber's tenderness.

"This guy has clearly planned to please the eldest father to move into the palace!" Until now, how could Zhao Si not clearly see Amber's little chicken thief?

Amber has always been clingy, but suddenly, Zhao Si ran away, Yu Ji also ran away, and the master and mistress all moved into the palace...

Having said that, before Zhao Si lived alone in the palace, Amber could still bear it, but once Yu Ji left, Amber clearly couldn't bear it anymore.

From this point of view, although Amber despises Yu Ji on the surface, she is probably close to her in her heart.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Yu Ji was pregnant with a little life.

"Oh?"

The First Emperor was not disappointed when he heard the sound, but instead rubbed Amber harder.

"Humanity is truly auspicious," the First Emperor said with a smile on his face.

"Now that the crowning of the king is over, I have informed the court that the rebellion in Zhao has not yet been put down. You cannot leave Xianyang, but it is time for your retainers to set out." The First Emperor said while petting the cat.

"It's almost time. In just these two days, Xiao He and the others have responsibilities after all. Even if it's urgent, they have to hand it over clearly." Zhao Si nodded.

……

It was a big deal for Zhao Si to confer the title of king. After all, the Qin Dynasty was founded on the system of prefectures and counties, so it was the first time that Zhao Si conferred the title of king.

It's just that even though the outside world is talking a lot, the general trend has been decided, and the First Emperor has issued an edict, the outcome is still irreversible. Occasionally, there are letters to persuade the First Emperor to withdraw the edict, but they are all rejected by the First Emperor.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao He, Fan Kuai, Chen Ping and others had already handed over their responsibilities and were ready to set off.

Under the heavy snow, in Zhao Si's mansion and in the pavilion in the courtyard, a group of people gathered in the wind and snow before leaving.

Because Zhang Cang and others were about to leave, the First Emperor gave Zhao Si a rare holiday so that Zhao Si could say goodbye to his followers.

There is still snow today, but it is much lighter than the previous two days, but the wind is blowing harder.

In the pavilion, Zhao Si took the main seat, and all the guests knelt down one after another.

Wine, wine and buttermilk are placed on the table in front of everyone. A large cauldron of boiling water is placed in the center. Various spices and chili are placed in it. Various slices of raw meat are placed next to it. There are waiters taking care of it. The flames burning under the cauldron put the sliced ​​meat into the pot one by one.

Next to it is a huge bonfire stand with skinned and dirty goats tied to it. Zhang Cang is responsible for applying various paints on the side and controlling the heat.

Big hot pot plus roasted whole lamb.

"Your Majesty, I don't have much time. When we were leaving, the banquet was a little hasty. Please don't mind." Zhao Si took the host position, raised his wine glass, and took a sip.

Hearing the sound, all the guests raised their glasses and drank together. Zhang Cang, who was roasting a whole lamb, smiled and said, "My lord is a member of the royal family, so he can be said to be a loner."

Perhaps because he is not used to the change of status, Zhao Si has always called me, not a loner.

"You're not an outsider, there's no need." Zhao Si nodded and accepted the instruction.

"You all left this time and returned to Xianyang, but I don't know what year it was." Zhao Si sighed and looked at Zhang Cang, Chen Ping and others.

Most of them don't have real estate in Xianyang, so they live in Zhao Si's mansion and receive support every day.

For Zhao Si, it was a long time to get along day and night.

Zhang Cang, in particular, felt like both a teacher and a friend to Zhao Si. Zhao Si would often ask Zhang Cang about things he couldn't understand. For a long time, Zhang Cang was Zhao Si's external brain.

Even Zhao Si has become accustomed to Zhang Cang answering his questions and giving him directions on many things, which saves Zhao Si a lot of trouble. But now, his external brain will eventually leave him and go to a distant place. Zhao Di.

In fact... Zhao Si needs Zhang Cang more now than before.

What does the change of identity and the closeness to the First Emperor mean? Zhao Si knows very well that there are some things that he will eventually be involved in even if he doesn't want to be involved.

This is not something you can escape from if you want.

But Zhang Cang must leave...

Zhao Si's feudal kingdom needs Zhang Cang.

Although in Zhao Si's view, Xiao He, Chen Ping and others have great talents, in the end they are still too immature.

That is the land of a country!

Among Zhao Si's many disciples now, Zhang Cang is probably the only one who has real experience in running a country.

Chen Ping was a little sad when he heard the sound...

"Being separated is not necessarily a bad thing. You don't have to be sad, sir." Chen Ping said to reassure him,

Looking at the burning bonfire, Chen Ping thought of his decision that day.

A long time has passed since he was kidnapped by Zhao Si.

But even though a long time had passed, Chen Ping still clearly remembered the scene of that day, and even more so the embarrassment he felt in the past.

Chen Ping... is just a poor settler...

He vaguely remembered that in the past, when he was studying abroad, his brother fully supported him, so that the brother and his wife were at odds, which ultimately led to the breakdown of the family.

He could not forget how he ate and drank freely at home, arrogant about what he had learned, and how the villagers looked at him.

There is no doubt that he wants to use his knowledge to improve the current situation.

But Zhang Cang told him that Qin's fate was not long.

Chen Ping is a smart man. As soon as Zhang Cang said it, Chen Ping understood it.

Therefore, for various reasons, Chen Ping has never had room to display his talent.

If nothing else happens, the Qin State should slowly collapse under the crazy oppression of King Qin.

But because of the appearance of one person, everything began to change.

Zhao Si......

From fairy grains and fairy seeds to official salt price cuts, Chen Ping was surprised to find that the most unlikely thing had happened.

There was actually someone who could reverse the will of the First Emperor.

This is the consensus of Chen Ping and Zhang Cang.

The destruction of the Qin Dynasty did not lie with others, but with the First Emperor. This cannot be saved by the appearance of fairy food.

But if someone can truly reverse the will of the First Emperor, then there will be room for manipulation.

At that time, Chen Ping had the idea of ​​becoming an official.

His idea is very simple, either Qin Guo hurries, so that I can find a job.

Either the country of Qin will leave, and I will work directly in the country of Qin.

He just wanted to board a relatively smooth ship.

Just when he was still hesitating and discussing with Zhang Cang whether to become an official, Zhao Si made the choice for them.

He and Zhang Cang were tied together, and while hesitating, they were forced to board the pirate ship.

And now, everything is fine.

The news between him and his brother has not stopped. Ever since he became Zhao Si's client, the most intuitive thing is the abundant economic conditions.

Because of the gold and silver property he sent back, the eldest brother married another daughter-in-law. This year I wrote that he also had a child, and he also gained a nephew.

The situation at home has changed drastically. The sister-in-law who used to speak harshly to me now regrets it very much and is praying for her eldest brother to get back together.

Everything got better. Just when he and Zhang Cang decided that Da Qin was probably helpless, a new future appeared quietly.

"Actually, I'm still very curious. I didn't have any reputation at that time. How did you capture me?" Chen Ping asked with a smile. As soon as Chen Ping opened his mouth, the others also looked at Zhao Si with smiles.

Not only Chen Ping is curious, but others are also curious.

"Logically speaking, I'm hiding in a secret place, and my tribe is covering up for me. Even my senior brother doesn't know my whereabouts. I'm also curious, how did the young master know that I'm hiding at home?" Zhang Cang, who was roasting lamb, also laughed. Then he asked.

Zhao Si shook his head and laughed when he heard this: "As I said, I am good at getting along with people."

"As for how I learned about Mr.'s hiding place, I'm afraid I have to start talking about it when I went to sea..." Zhao Si shook his head pretending to be mysterious.

"If I don't have any means, how can I take a group of children and seize the ship and return to the sea?"

"Could it be the magic of the alchemist?" Zhang Cang asked with a smile.

"Almost almost..." Zhao Si waved his hand.

People around him knew that Zhao Si must be hiding a secret, but everyone was smart, so they didn't ask too much.

Although it is indeed magical, it doesn't matter.

At least it's a great thing for them.

At the very least, most of the many customers under Zhao Si belong to the bottom of society. If it weren't for Zhao Si, they would still be trapped in the countryside with a confused future.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and the newly joined Han Sheng was listening slowly with a smile on his face.

Han Sheng was a new member, and he met Zhang Cang and the others on the day he joined.

After a simple self-introduction, everyone knew each other. In addition, Han Sheng was from a relatively poor background and had really good talents. Although he was not kidnapped by Zhao Si, he was still recognized.

But that’s all…

They were going to Zhao land to take up their posts and they would not take Han Sheng with them.

"Young Master has entrusted the country to Zhao, and the appointment of officials does not need to go through Xianyang..." After chatting for a long time, Zhang Cang finally got down to business.

It's nothing more than asking Zhao Si about Zhao Guo's personnel arrangements.

After all, although Zhao Si said that all these matters are subject to Zhang Cang's arrangement, the King of Zhao is Zhao Si after all, not Zhang Cang.

"The lamb is ripe..." Facing Zhang Cang's inquiry, Zhao Si turned a blind eye and just pointed at the roasted brown mutton.

"Smell! Sir, your craftsmanship is indeed good. I'm so happy to hear it. I think all of you can't wait." Zhao Si stood up with a smile and glanced at the kneeling people.

Obviously, everyone was a little moved when Zhang Cang just spoke about the personal arrangements of Zhao Guo officials.

That is the government team of a country...

As long as Zhao Si opens his mouth and seals the seal, they can become high officials in an instant.

They are all Zhao Si's original followers and the closest people to Zhao Si. They are about to reach the sky in one step.

Who wouldn’t be tempted when a country’s duties are placed before them?

"Lord..." Zhang Cang smiled and shook his head.

"Sir, please share the meat for food!" Zhao Si looked at Zhang Cang and said seriously.

Then he handed the knife in front of him to Zhang Cang.

Zhang Cang was inexplicably shocked when he heard the sound. He looked at Zhao Si again and saw that the gaze in Zhao Si's eyes did not waver in the slightest.

Xiao He, Chen Ping and others heard the sound, looked at Zhao Si, and laughed dumbly again.

Zhang Cang looked at the insistent Zhao Si in front of him, at the knife handed to him, at the roasted whole lamb that was dripping with oil, and finally sighed.

There is no doubt that Zhang Cang is a person who understands the way of self-protection.

At the same time, he is also a person who knows what he wants.

Most smart people are like this...not swayed by feelings, not changing their goals because of interests.

Therefore, even if the First Emperor attached great importance to him, and after seeing through the First Emperor's character and the future of Qin, Zhang Cang should run away or run away.

Even if Zhao Si said many times that he could make his own decisions regarding the Zhao Kingdom, Zhang Cang would still not appear arrogant.

Zhang Cang put his position very clearly.

He is the minister.

He is just a part-time worker to realize his ambition.

So he never goes beyond the distance, which also means that he can run away at any time without any psychological burden.

Most smart people will not be swayed by personal feelings, but now...

Looking at Zhao Si who insisted on sharing the meat, Zhang Cang was still shaken.

Objectively speaking, Zhang Cang can be regarded as watching Zhao Si grow up.

The right to divide meat... How is this dividing meat? This was a clear message to Zhang Cang to make arrangements as he pleased.

The so-called tool is nothing more than power!

This kind of trust obviously goes beyond the simple scope of monarch and minister.

Zhao Si is standing up for Zhang Cang.

How could Zhang Cang not understand this?

Even the allusions about dividing meat and power were told to Zhao Si personally by Zhang Cang.

"Lord, why are you doing this?" Zhang Cang took the knife and sighed, not knowing what emotions he was feeling.

Sincerity is often the greatest nirvana.

And this trust, which is not mixed with any other emotions, is the most difficult for Zhang Cang to accept.

"How is my husband different from my teacher?" Zhao Si indeed regarded Zhang Cang as half of his elder.

On the one hand, it is because Zhang Cang is indeed this age, on the other hand, it is also because Zhao Si has been dependent on Zhang Cang for a long time.

Zhang Cang shook his head and didn't say much, just silently dividing the meat with a knife.

The sincere killing skills coupled with the subtle influence of the raw jade halo, even an old fox like Zhang Cang will inevitably be moved.

The king chooses his ministers, how could the ministers not choose the king?

Cutting meat is a technical job, and Zhang Cang understands it. After all, his teacher is Xunzi. No matter how different Xunzi is, he can be regarded as one of the representative figures of Confucianism.

Therefore, Zhang Cang also had in-depth research and attainments on etiquette.

In an instant, the meat is divided.

Everyone had no objections and all loved it.

Zhang Cang looked at Zhao Si who was eating meat and drinking with a smile and thought for a long time...

Zhang Cang's dominant position in Zhao State was officially confirmed.

This was something Zhao Si had considered a long time ago. He couldn't live without Xianyang. If there was anyone he trusted more in entrusting the feudal state to him, it would be Zhang Cang.

After all, the real monarch of Zhao State is not in Zhao State, and someone must exercise this power in Zhao Si's place.

He must endorse Zhang Cang's dominant position, and he must also give Zhang Cang a platform.

After all, he would not be able to remotely control the ministers and micro-manage the affairs of Zhao State even though he was thousands of miles away.

The snow is still falling...

Zhang Cang looked at Zhao Si with a smile on his face from time to time.

My heart felt warm after all,
