Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 1 Si recommends a person to the king

During the Warring States Period, there were constant conflicts and the people of the world suffered terribly.

秦国

King Zheng of Qin ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and it has been ten years since then. Now King Zheng of Qin has just put down the rebellion of Marquis Changxin Lao Ai and eliminated Marquis Wenxin Lu Buwei, and truly grasped the power of the Qin State.

In the Zhangtai Palace, King Zheng of Qin was handling government affairs. The piles of bamboo slips on the desk left him no time to rest.

"Your Majesty, the guest official Li Si requests an audience."

"Xuan."

"promise"

Li Si walked into the hall and bowed to the King of Qin, who was sitting at the top of the table. "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Mr. Li, please don't be so polite." Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips in his hand and stretched his back unconsciously.

At this time, Li Si had just submitted the "Letter of Remonstration Against the Expulsion of Aliens" to King Zheng of Qin, and was therefore appreciated by the King of Qin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I have come here to recommend someone to you."

"Oh? Who do you want to recommend?" King Zheng of Qin immediately became interested. The court had undergone a major shake-up, and he was looking to unify the six kingdoms. He lacked talent. Li Si was a good man, courageous, knowledgeable, and strategic. He could be used. The person he recommended would surely be good too.

"Your Majesty, this man is a genius whom I met before I came to Qin." Li Si did not delay. He knew that the king was eager to seek talents and had wanted to recommend him before, but his influence was not influential.

"A genius?" The King of Qin was shocked. Li Si was talented and arrogant. To be called a genius by him, then...

"Yes, Your Majesty. I dare not lie to you. This man is from the State of Chu, named Zhang Yuanqing. I spent two months with Zhang Yuanqing in Chu, and we treated each other like brothers. However, my talent is not even half as great as Zhang Yuanqing's." Li Si considered recommending Zhang Yuanqing for a long time before making the decision. After all, if Zhang Yuanqing was appreciated by the King of Qin, his own status in his eyes would be greatly reduced. However, he was currently struggling alone in Qin, and having Brother Zhang here would be a help.

Given Brother Zhang's character, if he is valued, he will definitely help me.

"Really?" King Zheng of Qin was overjoyed.

"Where is this person now?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know where Brother Zhang is now. I met Brother Zhang in Chu four years ago. At that time, his father passed away, and his family wanted to seize his property. Brother Zhang said that he planned to sell his property, then visit various countries, and finally planned to settle down in Qin."

After hearing this, the King of Qin felt lost, not knowing where the man was and how to find him. But when he heard that he had come to Qin, he felt hopeful again.

"Oh? Why did you come to Qin last?"

"Your Majesty, Brother Zhang once said that among the seven countries today, Qin is the strongest. If Your Majesty is not a tyrant and has the ambition to go east, then our Qin will definitely unify the six countries in the end." Li Si did not say this casually. This was what Zhang Yuanqing said when he was chatting with him. Moreover, all kinds of analysis were convincing and made him more convinced that he came to Qin.

"Did he really say that?!" The King of Qin stood up in shock and looked at Li Si with burning eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's what Brother Zhang said. Brother Zhang also analyzed the situation of the seven kingdoms with me... Qin has every advantage, so why worry about failing to achieve our great cause?" As Li Si spoke, his heart surged with emotion. If Qin unified the world, he, Li Si, would surely be remembered forever.

"Good, good, good." After hearing this, the King of Qin praised it three times, "This man is indeed a man of great talent."

"But now we don't know where it is. How can we find it?"

"Your Majesty, you now hold great power. Just as Brother Zhang said, Your Majesty is a wise ruler. Brother Zhang must have arrived in Qin by now. We can send more people to inquire. With Brother Zhang's talent, I believe he will definitely find it."

"That's right. I'll leave this matter to you. If you need any manpower, you can contact General Meng Wu."

"It's the king."

In a small village in Hanzhong, Qin State.

"Master, this year's wheat is almost ripe. The villagers just came over and said that it will be ready for harvest in about ten days." A tall and mighty man in a short shirt walked in with the gait of a dragon and a tiger and said to the young man who was writing something at the desk.

The boy was dressed in a simple grey gown. He was a bit thin, and his complexion was paler than the average person, looking unhealthy. However, his face was delicate, and his eyes were dark and bright, looking full of life, which made him look more cheerful.

The young man was Zhang Yuanqing, who had time-traveled to the tumultuous Warring States Period five years earlier. Originally a beautiful young woman from the 22nd century, she had become the eldest son of the Zhang family. Her mother had died young, and her father had also passed away just over a year after her arrival. Faced with a group of ferocious relatives, Zhang Yuanqing quickly sold all her family's possessions and began traveling the world.

I came to Qin just two years ago and have lived here for over a year now. I am accompanied by my two brothers, Ada and Aer.

"Okay, are all the tools ready? Don't delay the harvest."

"Master, everything is ready." A Da said respectfully.

Half a month later, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was scorching. The people took the tools distributed by A Da and A Er and began to harvest in full swing.

Millet is the main food in Qin State now. In the past two years, Zhang Yuanqing has been constantly improving the land. Now these thousands of hectares of fertile land have become very fertile. We are just waiting to see how the harvest will be this year.

The village chief also attached great importance to Zhang Yuanqing's land and came early in the morning. If this method can indeed increase grain production, it can be implemented on a large scale next year, and everyone can have two full meals.

Unlike the people sweating profusely in the fields, a man on the shore wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. Ah Er held an umbrella in his hand and looked at Zhang Yuanqing nervously: "Master, please go back quickly. I have slaves here to watch over you, so you won't have any problems."

The master of the house is weak and needs careful care on a daily basis. He cannot be too hot, too cold, or too hungry, and he cannot eat poorly. In the past two years, the two brothers have put in a lot of effort to take good care of the master of the house.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing didn't insist, nodded, and turned to leave. Ah Er hurriedly followed with an umbrella.

"Master, the output is out." That day, Ah Er came back in the moonlight, with joy on his rough face.

In the small courtyard, Zhang Yuanqing sat on a stool under a tree with a chessboard in front of him. A Da, who was sitting opposite him, was racking his brains over what to do next.

Hearing Ah Er's voice, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and stood up quickly, as if there were nails under his butt.

"Master, this year the millet yield is four stone per mu."

Ah Er spoke excitedly, and Ah Da looked at Ah Er in shock.

"Four stones? Not bad, it seems that the weight gain effect this time is very good." Zhang Yuanqing smiled, and no longer made it difficult for Ada to play chess with him. He stood up and walked towards the study.

The two brothers Ada were left in the yard excited for a long time.

Sitting in the study, looking at this small room, which is very different from the original one, all of which were renovated by A Da in the past two years, Zhang Yuanqing smiled.

"System, can I go back if I complete the mission?"

"Host, you are already dead in modern times. Your body has been cremated and your organs have been donated. You can't go back."

"........."
