Chapter 399 Scientist Chen Ran, Met Mr. Zou

Chen Ran himself was unwilling to hold a position in the State of Qin.

After all, he was once an emperor, and even if he was facing Zulong, he was unwilling to serve under him.

This is a title that Ying Zheng forcibly gave to Chen Ran, and it is not included in the bureaucratic system.

Moreover, Ying Zheng also specifically stated that the title of National Master would only be held by one person throughout the entire Qin Dynasty!
Xiao He was a civil servant in the yamen, and he had many more sources of information than Liu Bang and others.

Chen Ran's status and position in the Qin State can be clearly seen even from the official documents exchanged.

Although it is surprising that Chen Ran is a loner, his identity proof cannot be faked.

As for being robbed and kidnapped, the Imperial Master is said to be able to defeat ten thousand enemies!
Moreover, he possesses magical powers as an immortal. What kind of thief could rob him? Could he be a thief from the sky?

Liu Bang and others were greatly surprised. They really did not expect that this person had such a powerful background.

After the surprise, comes the excitement.

If I follow this man as a retainer, doesn't it mean that I will be prosperous in the future?

"stand up."

Chen Ran told Xiao He to stand up and said, "I am going to Qi to deliver a letter to the country. I am in need of some people to accompany me. Are you willing to go with me?"

"The Imperial Master has ordered us to obey! Don't dare to disobey!"

Xiao He not only joined the team himself, but also borrowed a set of ceremonial guards and a team of laborers from the county magistrate.

Dozens of people gathered together in a mighty force, and at last they looked like envoys.

Chen Ran did not stay for long, and just led this makeshift team straight to Linzi.

Linzi City was the capital of Qi State.

The history of the city spanned almost the entire Zhou Dynasty, lasting hundreds of years.

The State of Qi was nearly destroyed after being invaded by five other states.

In the end, it was thanks to Tian Dan's Fire Bull Plan that the country was able to come back to life.

It was also because of that battle that the State of Qi became completely disappointed with other countries.

From then on, Qi State lived its own life behind closed doors. Even when other countries were beaten black and blue by Qin State and were about to perish and desperately cried for help, Qi State pretended to be deaf and dumb and pretended not to hear.

The reason is that he hates all other countries so much that he would rather die together than help them.

However, now all the countries in the world have been destroyed by Qin, and only Qi is left.

Even a blind person knows that Qin's next target is Qi, and they themselves know it too.

But what can we do even if we know?
Don't be fooled by the loud boasting of the people of Qi, who said that Qi had a million soldiers and was not afraid of the Qin army and so on.

In fact, there are indeed a million men, but only 200,000 at most have been trained to fight in the battlefield.

The others were just cannon fodder in the Qin army who did not even have any military merit.

Faced with such a situation, the people of Qi had a simple idea. They tried their best to maintain the alliance with Qin, hoping that Qin would be kind enough to let Qi go.

When the news came that the Qin envoy had arrived, everyone in Qi tried their best to flatter him. Even the King of Qi went to greet him in person for fear of offending the envoy.

Chen Ran was a kind and smiling man, and he had a very pleasant conversation with the King of Qi. Both of them even felt that they had met too late.

When he arrived at the palace, the King of Qi was even thinking, "I can give less bribes and arrange more beauties later."

The King of Qi took his seat, and a group of Qi's relatives and ministers sat on both sides below him.

Next, there will be real diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Chen Ran put away the kind smile on his face, and calmly gestured to Liu Bang beside him to bring over the box containing the letter from the credence.

He solemnly opened the box, took out the letter, and handed it to the civil official of Qi.

When the King of Qi took the letter and read it carefully, the expression on his face obviously changed from joy to confusion, then to fear, and then to anger!
"Too deceiving!"

The King of Qi was furious.

The content of the letter was actually very simple. It was to invite the King of Qi, the royal family of Qi, and the noble ministers to visit Xianyang City for three to five to seven years.

As for Qi's military and governing power, Qin can help take care of it.

This is clearly a letter of persuasion to surrender.

"The King of Qin bullies my Great Qi and no one speaks up for him?"

The King of Qi, with red eyes, glared at Chen Ran and said, "My great Qi has a million soldiers! The Great Wall is strong (Qi really has a Great Wall)! There is enough food and grass! We are united as one."

"The Armored Million is awesome."

Chen Ran interrupted him and said with a smile, "The King of Qin is going to send 500,000 troops to destroy Han, Zhao, Yan, Chu and Wei. Each of these 500,000 soldiers will have to wield two swords to defeat the Qi army."

"No matter how strong the Great Wall is, can it be as strong as Handan City? Under the thunder of heaven, it will be reduced to dust."

"Are there enough food supplies? Your Majesty, please send someone to check how much food supplies Qi has left."

"As for unity of purpose." Chen Ran smiled when he said this.

As soon as the land is distributed, the common people will immediately stand on the side of Qin.

Everyone in Qi looked at each other in bewilderment.

They knew that what Chen Ran said was true.

They themselves knew best what the so-called one million armored soldiers were like. There was no way they could fight against the Qin army that had destroyed all the countries in the world.

The Great Wall was indeed built to defend against the Qin State, but I heard that the Qin State had thunder from the sky.

When the thunder sounds, even the solid city walls will be blown down, let alone the Great Wall of Qi.

As for the sufficient food and grass, the King of Qi might be confused, but many of the royal family ministers became subconsciously nervous.

The reason was simple: they had received a large amount of Qin currency, so they turned a blind eye to the Qin merchant caravan's massive purchase of food and supplies in Qi. After all, anyone with eyes could see that Qi could not withstand the attack of Qin.

Now, not only can you get money by helping, but you can also curry favor with others by doing good deeds. Who knows, after the demise of Qi, you may even be able to get an official position in Qin.

To put it bluntly, there is no fool who can stand in the hall.

Finally, speaking of people's hearts, the people of Qi have not experienced war for many years, and their hearts are settled. How many of them are really willing to fight to the death with the Qin people?

Almost everyone understood these things, except the King of Qi.

Seeing that the talks between the two sides were on the verge of breaking down, the ministers of Qi State stepped forward to persuade Chen Ran and his companions to stay first, and that the king and his ministers of Qi State needed to have a good discussion.

Chen Ran didn't care about Qi's so-called negotiation at all.

The reason he came here this time was to force the State of Qi to take action against the envoy.

This is what the Han Dynasty envoys did in history. They were courting death wherever they went. If you don’t kill me, I will kill you.

Whoever dares to kill the Han envoy, the Han army will arrive immediately, and then destroy the city and destroy the country!
Chen Ran also had the same plan. As long as Qi took action, Qin could naturally tear up the alliance with Qi.

The king and his ministers of Qi started to quarrel in the hall, while Chen Ran and others were taken to the inn to rest.

Chen Ran couldn't sit still, so he took Liu Bang and others out of the inn and started to visit Linzi City.

The two sides haven't fought yet, so the people of Qi can only keep an eye on the enemy, but it is not easy to put the enemy under house arrest in the inn.

Linzi City was very busy, with the streets full of people, shoulder to shoulder.

There are shops on both sides, selling all kinds of things.

Chen Ran even saw many products produced by his own factory being openly displayed for sale.

Liu Bang and others were very interested in this place, especially the young lady from Qi, who stared at it intently.

Unfortunately, Chen Ran was not interested. He had seen, walked through, lived in and slept in countless cities like this.

So after strolling around, Chen Ran came to the Ji Gate of Linzi City.

Here, there is a Qi State Academy, which is also a higher education institution.

Because of its location close to Jimen, it is usually called Jixia Academy.

The Jixia Academy was not just the territory of Confucianism, in fact all the schools of thought gathered here.

This is also an important place for the contention of a hundred schools of thought. Various schools of thought gathered here and debated with each other, becoming famous all over the world.

At this time, a heated debate was taking place in the Jixia Academy.

The debate was chaired by Xunzi (Xun Kuang), the chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy.

There is no need to say much about Xunzi, he was the teacher of Li Si and Han Fei, and the leader of the Legalists.

Although Confucian disciples in later generations said that Xunzi was a Confucian, his disciples were all Legalists. How could it be possible that the teacher became a Confucian?

Considering that Confucian disciples are good at revising history, the answer is obvious.

This was the third time that Xunzi served as the chief priest of the Jixia Academy. His health was already very poor and he might not see the sun next year.

Even so, he still dragged his sick body and resolutely presided over the debate.

Famous people from the schools of Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, Nominalism, Military Science, Agriculture, Yin-Yang, and Lightness and Heaviness took turns to expound the views of their own schools.

On the one hand, he wanted to convince his opponents, and on the other hand, he wanted to gain the support of the onlookers.

To put it bluntly, the so-called Hundred Schools of Thought are just a group of liberal arts students giving advice on how to deal with the country.

Use your mouth and the pen in your hand to express the thoughts in your mind, trying to convince everyone to live according to your ideas.

The time of a hundred schools of thought contending with each other was the golden age for liberal arts students.

The next golden age for liberal arts students would have to wait until the Song Dynasty a thousand years later.

The person who was expounding his school's theory in front of everyone at this time was an old man with white hair and an unsteady walk.

Although he is very old, his voice is still loud and clear. "As the saying goes, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, and earth overcomes water. The five virtues are always in a cycle. History changes, dynasties rise and fall."

This is the theory of the Five Elements, which uses the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements to predict the change of dynasties. It can be regarded as a speculation on history.

"China is called the Red Land of God."

"There are nine states in the Red Country of God. Yu arranged the nine states in this order. They cannot be counted as states."

"Outside China, there are nine places like the Red County and the Divine Land, which are called the Nine Provinces. There is a place surrounded by an evil sea, where people and animals cannot communicate with each other, and the place in a region is called a province."

"There are nine of these, and then there is a great ocean surrounding them, the boundary between heaven and earth."

"The nine provinces of China are only one part of the eighty-one parts of the world. Outside the world, there is the universe."

This is the 'Great Kyushu' theory.

It is believed that the Nine Provinces of China are only one eighty-first of the world, and the entire world is much larger than China.

The rest of the Nine Provinces are separated by oceans, and neither humans nor animals can communicate with each other.

Outside the entire world, there is an even more vast universe, and the entire world is just a tiny part of the universe.

From a geographical point of view, this is undoubtedly a very awesome theory, and it is very close to the facts.

Especially in this era, being able to deduce a theory so close to the facts makes him a true master.

"well said!"

Chen Ran shouted, interrupting the white-haired old man's speech.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he came up to the old man and saluted.

"Scientist Chen Ran, meet Mr. Zou."
