The new issue of the monthly report was published as scheduled.

But this time, the content is even more explosive than previous ones.

The entire speech delivered by the Imperial Master at the Great Qin Academy was published on the front page of the monthly report, which was enough to make everyone excited.

Immediately after the great victory in the north, the news that His Majesty intended to send Qin envoys to the Western Regions to promote the prestige of the Qin state and bring back high-yield seeds touched the hearts of countless people.

Looking back to the past two years, they were still blaming the heaven and the earth for their old country being conquered by the Qin Dynasty. Now, in just one year, everyone has taken it for granted and even started to covet the land of the Western Regions.

"If it were me, there's no point in sending an envoy. If we could just conquer it directly, wouldn't all the seeds and grain we need belong to us?"

In the teahouse, diners who had just listened to a ten-year-old child reading a monthly newspaper were gathered together and chatting.

In the middle of the teahouse, there was a big stove with several kettles hanging above it, one of which was emitting steam.

The gurgling sound of boiling water lifted the lid of the kettle. The waiter quickly took a wet rag and took off the kettle. Then he carried the hot water and asked each guest, "Guest, do you want more water?"

The old man in rough clothes sitting by the stove stretched out his index finger and tapped the table lightly.

The waiter immediately understood and filled the teapot on the table with hot water.

Then move on to the next table.

The old man was about fifty years old, with thick fingers and thick calluses from years of hard work.

He had experienced countless wars, big and small, in his life. Now that he was old, his life had finally settled down. His only pleasure in his spare time was to come to the teahouse to drink a pot of the cheapest tea and listen to students reading articles from the monthly newspaper.

"Life is getting better day by day! Even if we have to fight again, we will fight outside. We just need to grow crops. There will always be a way to survive."

Opposite him sat a hunter wearing a rabbit fur jacket. It was cold today, so he seldom went up the mountain, and therefore he often came here to relieve his boredom.

The hunter took a sip of hot tea and felt his whole body become warm, and he responded casually.

"Uncle, you're right. Even if there's no tax cut this year, we can still live well! The government has loaned us a lot of farm tools, and we've opened up a few acres of land in the mountains, so we can start planting in the spring."

Speaking of this, the old man became even happier and more interested in talking.

"It's the same in our village. Every family has opened up a few acres of land. We farmers have plenty of energy, and once the land is opened up, there won't be any fallow land. This will definitely produce a lot more food! What's more, the monthly report says that there's no tax to pay for the first three years of land reclamation! This will give the whole family enough food for half a year!"

He said this loudly, which instantly resonated with many people in the teahouse.

Someone spoke up, "Then what the old uncle said is right. My family has also cultivated a few acres of land. This year we can have some surplus grain. We can sell it to the grain merchants and save some money to send our son to school. Next year, he can also read the newspaper."

"Hahaha! That's a great feeling!"

The atmosphere in the teahouse was just right. Another middle-aged man, who was dressed slightly better, stood up, bowed to everyone, and said loudly, "Let everyone know that our Sunji Grain Shop has been registered with the government and business department and has obtained grain coupons. If you want to sell grain next year, you can come to our Sunji Grain Shop. I guarantee that we won't undercut you on the price!"

"Sun's Grain Store? Did your family really get the grain coupons?"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, his tone full of pride, "I dare not lie, I really caught him! You can go to the government office to investigate at any time."

"Well, after the autumn harvest, our village will go to your house to sell grain!"

"My family's going too! But you have to give us a high price!"

The tea drinkers all agreed, and the middle-aged man promised repeatedly, "We will definitely give you a good price. The owner just got the food coupons, and he has given a guarantee to the officials of the Ministry of Commerce. He will definitely not cheat the customers!"

"Okay, okay! Then we'll all go!"

The atmosphere is getting more and more lively.

Nowadays, the government and business departments are involved in all walks of life.

Commercial bonds are hard to come by.

In order to obtain the qualification of being an official comprador, many merchants voluntarily gave up their interests just to get the approval of the Ministry of Commerce.

As a result, people's lives became much better.

In a corner of the teahouse, there was a table of elderly people who were listening quietly and did not join in the discussion.

Several of them had gray hair and elegant manners. Sometimes they frowned in thought, and sometimes they looked at each other.

The one with the least white hair couldn't help but move closer to the man at the top and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what do you think?"

Zhou Mi raised his eyelids slightly and looked at everyone.

"We need to speed up our journey!"

Hearing this, several people were shocked and asked anxiously, "Brother, are you interested in the Qin envoy?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Mi raised the corners of his lips, his eyes filled with ambition.

"Big Brother always says that he wants to spread my name, Zongheng, but don't you know that sending an envoy to Qin is an even greater path?"

Recalling every word in the monthly report, his tone became more resolute.

"Conquer a vast territory for future generations!"

"The more land we occupy, the fewer enemies our descendants will have."

"My fellow apprentice brothers," he said with an unusually serious expression, "the opportunity to leave your name in history and to erect a monument to your fame is right before your eyes. Are you willing to join me?"

"Yes! Brother, we are willing!"

Some people were even more excited than Zhou Mi.

How could they not want to?

This is the opportunity that is right before our eyes and is most likely to be remembered by future generations.

Naturally, they were eager to go.

Even if the road is difficult and full of dangers.

But isn’t this the ultimate goal pursued by many scholars?

Win fame during life and after death!

They are going to speed up their journey!

I wonder how many people are watching this!

"Brother, let's hurry up~"

Zhou Mi chuckled and stood up. "Let's go to the official road and move forward at full speed."

After leaving behind a few silver coins, they quickly packed up their bags and headed straight for the carriage.

Their worries are not unnecessary.

Such a great reputation really makes many people excited.

Go west, go south, or even go out to sea.

An envoy sent to Qin opened up the minds of many scholars who thought they had talents but were not appreciated and had nowhere to use their talents.

It turns out it can still be like this!

I heard that the First Emperor promised that as long as he returned safely, he would be granted a title of nobility.

You ask, what if you lose your life?

That’s even more amazing!

Posthumously honor them! Build a temple! Compile a biography! Pass it down for posterity!

Who can bear this?

The highest honor a person can achieve!

They are just waiting to die, okay?

The uglier the death, the more legendary the celebrity's life becomes!

They had to get going quickly.

Otherwise, you won’t have your place!

For a time, teachers and scholars from all over the Qin Dynasty were preparing to rush to Xianyang.

In the fields, in the city, and in the mountains.

Talented people continue to emerge from different corners and re-enter the world.

Even Huang Shigong was tempted.

pity.

The unfortunate Huang Shigong fell down the mountain path while on his way and accidentally sprained his ankle.

Once again, a missed opportunity.

"Ah~"

Huang Shigong was lying in a farmer's shack, drinking the medicine prepared by a doctor.

I lamented my bad luck and couldn't catch such a grand event.
