The figure of the Qin envoy had already disappeared into the distance, but the people in Xianyang City had not yet recovered from this incident.

Unprecedented achievement.

These four short words really make people itch.

The lights were bright in the halls to the west of Xianyang City.

Everyone was discussing this matter overnight.

"There's so much land in the south, why don't we send people there too? We can educate them and maybe even enhance our nation's prestige once again..."

The person who was speaking was Wei Yuan, who was in his thirties. When the State of Wei fell, he was at the age of greatest vigor and ambition. He suddenly fell from a high platform, which made him always recall the past in his dreams at midnight.

Therefore, he often fantasized about restoring his country.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the hall took over.

"Why? You going?"

"I……"

Who wants to go there? It's a wild place, where you won't know how you died.

There was no speech for a long time.

"Ugh……"

The head of the family, Wei Chengde, who was sitting at the head of the hall, sighed and looked around.

The tribesmen verbally called for the restoration of their country and for the rebellion against Qin.

When the time comes for them to contribute, they are all afraid of death and cannot endure hardship.

He didn't want to be like the previous head of the family, who was escorted to the execution platform by the King of Qin and killed, with his head and body separated.

He pondered for a moment and then asked, "I heard that the girl from the Han family often visits the Imperial Master's residence?"

"That group of spineless people sold their daughters for fame and fortune. I heard they wanted to send their daughters to the charity school to be female teachers."

"Yes! Those sycophants are shameful to associate with!"

A burst of curses rose in the hall, as if this could cover up their previous cowardice.

Wei Chengde saw through the tribesmen's superficial strength and waited until the cursing in the hall stopped before continuing to speak.

"I heard you guys have connections with the Su family in Yingchuan? How are the wines selling?"

"This... Patriarch, we just want to earn some money to spend. Now that we have run out of money, we must always think about our family."

"Yes, Patriarch, life is not easy for everyone. Zhao Zheng confiscated a lot of our property before. It's just a few drinks. There's no need to talk about it here."

"That's right, cousin, what you said makes sense."

There was another commotion.

Wei Chengde just listened quietly, and when he spoke again, it caused an uproar in the entire hall.

"Select a few girls and send them to the Imperial Master's Mansion to enroll in the charity school."

Wei Yuan stood up suddenly and stared at Wei Chengde in disbelief. "Master, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to imitate Han Xiao? Wouldn't this make the other families laugh at you?"

"Master, think twice!"

"We can't follow the example of the Han family. They already have some intricate blood relationship with the Imperial Master's Mansion, and they're also very close to the Su family. What good will it do us?"

"It's just being laughed at for nothing!"

"Wei Chengde, how can you be worthy of being the Patriarch of the Wei Family?"

Some were filled with grief and indignation, while others were so furious that they cursed loudly.

Wei Chengde ignored all of it. He even had the mood to pick up the teacup and took a few sips slowly.

Seeing him like this, the cursing in the hall became even louder.

It was not until a quarter of an hour later that the conversation in the hall gradually stopped.

"Have you had enough scolding?"

He put down the teacup in his hand, and ignoring the murderous looks of his tribesmen, he looked at everyone in the hall with sharp eyes.

"You can curse as much as you want, and that's all you can do. If I ask you to raise private soldiers, you can't bear the hardship and are afraid of being caught. If I ask you to contact others, you feel inferior and are unwilling to come to my house."

He slammed the table.

There was a loud "bang" that startled everyone, and they all looked up.

Wei Chengde cursed, "You're just sitting around eating up all the money you have! At this rate, within ten years, there won't be any place for our Wei family in Xianyang City anymore."

"Depend on you? Or you? What about you?" He stretched out his hand, pointed at everyone one by one, and then sneered.

"Heh... If you weren't incompetent, why would I push the girls out of my family? If any of you were as responsible as Han Xiao, how could I bear to let the girls suffer!"

The hall fell into dead silence.

His Highness's men wanted to refute, but they could not utter any forceful words.

After hearing Wei Chengde's last words, they all fled.

"One girl from each family, send her to me for selection."

I can't sleep tonight, and the lights in the Wei family are on all night.

The Han family also gathered together, but they were discussing other things.

Nowadays, Han Yanran visits the Imperial Master's residence every now and then and is very much loved by the Imperial Master.

Lu Zhi's attendant once told Han Yanran privately that the Grand Master intended to observe her for a period of time and recommend her as the Grand Master's assistant.

For such a major matter, the Han family naturally needs to consider it carefully.

It was the same hall, but the difference was that this time, Han Yanran had a table and chairs, so she no longer had to stand to answer.

"Yanran, did Lu Sheren really say that?"

Han Yanran nodded, her eyes affirming, "Not only the master, but the Imperial Master has also asked my daughter if she is willing to serve as an official."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

It’s almost said explicitly!

Unexpectedly, in such a short time, Yanran was able to gain the favor of the Imperial Master.

Did they achieve success by accident?

Everyone looked Han Yanran up and down with satisfaction. Seeing her calm face and measured behavior, they were even happier.

What a good girl! With such a good girl in their Han family, there is no need to worry about not being able to prosper.

Han Xiao looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall, curled his lips slightly, and suggested, "In this case, we should help Yanran and push her to a higher level."

"Yes!"

"It should be so..."

Everyone agreed.

Han Xiao continued, "Now that the Qin envoy has just left, the Minister of Rites is still recruiting people. Why don't we send a few boys to answer the call?"

"This is a bit difficult. The journey is long, but I wonder if the children can endure the hardship."

"Why shouldn't I eat this? I've already gone through the hardest part of the first batch, so it'll be much easier the next time."

"Yes, it can also bring honor to our ancestors. Even if Korea is lost, we can still leave our name in history. We won't bring shame to our ancestors when we tell others about it!"

"That way, even after a hundred years, I won't be ashamed to see my ancestors!"

Most people agree.

The white-haired old man at the head of the hall pondered for a long time, and was finally moved by the word "ancestors".

"Each family should go and inquire. Those who volunteer should give their names and have Yanran pass them on."

Upon hearing this, Han Yanran immediately stood up excitedly and bowed gratefully to everyone in the hall.

"Yanran thanks all the uncles and ancestors and will definitely live up to your expectations."

When she looked up again, there was already a blazing fire in her eyes.

On the same day, Dapeng rose from the wind and lifted up to 90,000 miles.

Master Imperial Master, wait for her.

She will definitely try her best to keep up with the adults.

Paving the way for women all over the world!
