Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 1 The Beggar

Chen Ye looked at the almost desolate scene in front of him with a helpless smile on his face.

"Help, do you want to play with me like this?"

A gust of wind blew, making his whole body feel cold everywhere.

The "clothes" on his body were probably only two or three pieces of cloth, and they were made of coarse linen. They were very rough and could barely cover his important parts.

Chen Ye raised his head and looked at the sky with a pair of melancholy eyes.

Half an hour ago he was a modern man with no worries about food and clothing, sitting in an air-conditioned room playing games, but half an hour later he was here in the modern world.

And the reason was the game he played.

【Aristocratic Family】

The game Saga is a very simple but also very difficult game. You can beat the game at any time, but it has different reviews.

What determines this evaluation level is the length of inheritance of the established family and the identity of the chosen starting character.

Just before traveling to the Qin Dynasty, Chen Ye had just achieved the first achievement in the entire server [Towering China, Thousand-Year-Old Family].

Chen Ye originally planned to open a new stage. The node was chosen during the Warring States Period, and his identity was one of the worst options [beggar]. It is said that if he could use the identity of [beggar] to achieve the achievements of [Millennium Family], There will be the highest level of rewards.

"Hey."

Chen Ye sighed, stretched out his hand, looked at the slightly rough hands, and said with some hatred: "If I had known that I would travel through time, I would never have chosen such a bad start!"

Yes! Such a bad start!

Those who had no land or house were called "hooligans" in ancient times. Hooligans were pitiful enough, but "beggars" in the pre-Qin period were even more pitiable than hooligans.

Because some of them don't even have road guides, they can be killed by soldiers at any time.

"I don't know which node I have traveled to now?"

After Chen Ye calmed down, he carefully thought about the current time in his mind. He must first determine the current time, and then find a way to enter Qin!
  In fact, his current start is not at the level of hell. After all, he still has most of the knowledge in his mind and he is still literate!
  This is his biggest and only "hang" now.

At this moment, bursts of noise suddenly came from the distance, and everyone around them swarmed towards the front.

"Have you heard? Chief Zuo seems to be announcing something at the city gate."

"notice?"

"Didn't someone move a few pillars there early in the morning?"

"I don't know what it's for."

Chen Ye captured several key words in an instant, "Zuo Shuchang", "city gate" and "pillar".

His eyes suddenly lit up. Could it be that the time he traveled through was such a coincidence?

Shang Yang [Note: For the convenience of reading, the text will be directly called Shang Yang^^] Reform! Who hasn’t heard the story of Yimu Lixin?
  Suddenly, he had an idea in his mind.

If you want to join the Qin Dynasty, in addition to talent and knowledge, you must also have another thing, that is identity. Do you think you can meet the king if you are talented?
  Anyone who can meet the king must be recommended by someone, or you must have a famous teacher.

For example, Zhang Yi, his teacher is the famous [Guiguzi].

For example, Shang Yang's recommender was Qin Xiaogong's favorite minister Jing Jian.

And he, Chen Ye, now has nothing except one person. Things that originally required a lot of effort seem to have turned around.

Isn’t Shang Yang a perfect recommender?

Thinking of this, Chen Ye walked forward quickly and reached the front of the crowd.

Central Shang Yang stood there, taking the trouble to explain his new decree.

"If anyone can move this tree to the south gate, I will reward you with ten gold coins."

Shang Yang looked at the crowd of people with a solemn expression. In order to implement the new decree, he had to be like this.

"Is there anyone willing?" As Shang Yang finished speaking, everyone present started talking, but no one dared to come forward.

How can there be such a good thing in this day and age?
  Shang Yang was not angry because this was part of his plan.

"If anyone can move this tree to the south gate, I will reward you with fifty gold."

He looked around at the people around him. The eyes of everyone around him were bright, but still no one came forward.

Chen Ye looked at the stick and clenched his fist to feel it.

Immediately he took a step forward and said, "I would like to give it a try, Chief Zuo."

He raised his head, his expression calm, but with a slight glimmer in his eyes: "It's just that I don't want these fifty gold. I just want to follow Zuo Shuchang and be a small official beside you. I wonder what Zuo Shuchang would like?"

Shang Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man in front of him who was not fully clothed but had an inexplicable bookish air about him.

"Oh? Want to be my little official?"

There was a smile on his lips, and he said almost without thinking: "Okay."

Shang Yang pointed in the distance with a calm expression: "But the fifty gold is the reward I promised, and I will still give it to you."

"how?"

Chen Ye immediately stepped forward and put the wood on his shoulders without saying a word.

The wood is not heavy. After all, Shang Yang's original intention was not to embarrass the people, but to establish the prestige of the court and convince the world.

But for Chen Ye at this time, this piece of wood is not too light. After all, the original condition of this body is placed here.

Sweat continued to fall from Chen Ye's forehead, and his face was slightly red. Chen Ye gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step. A solid footprint appeared under his feet every step he took.

A thousand-year-old family begins with a single step.

At this time, Chen Ye subconsciously thought of King Wen pulling a chariot and changing the world in eight hundred years in eight hundred steps.

There was a slight buzzing in his ears, and Chen Ye inexplicably felt a fishy-sweet taste in his mouth.

Shang Yang and many people followed Chen Ye and walked towards the south gate step by step. As Shang Yang walked, he observed the young man who was carrying wood.

The young man was not fully clothed, but his words were somewhat literary, and he was obviously someone who had read a book.

Although he has been reduced to a beggar, his skin is not very rough, and there are even only new calluses instead of old calluses for many years.

That piece of wood was specially chosen by him. It wasn't too heavy, but it wasn't too light either.

This young man was able to move the wood from the west gate here. If he had the slightest idea of ​​giving up halfway, he would definitely not be able to realize it and would give up halfway.

But at this time, even though I was so tired, I never gave up and didn't even complain.

Shang Yang couldn't help but have a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

He knows that the road to reform will never be smooth sailing, and those who reform will never end well.

So he wanted to find a successor for himself in advance.

It is best for this person to have nothing to do with all the upper-class old nobles in Qin, so that he will not betray himself.

This person had better be literate and strong-willed, because only in this way can the reform continue after his death.

The person in front of me seems to be a good choice.

"call--"

Chen Ye put down the wood with a sudden look in his eyes. Panting, he turned to look at Shang Yang who was standing behind him. He fell to the ground without being able to stand still.

At this moment a hand stretched out.

"follow me."
