Chapter 6 The official robe and body (6)

After entering the palace, the King of Qin said to Zhao Ji, "Mother, please rest first. Zheng'er has some state affairs to deal with. I'll come and have a meal with you later."

Although Zhao Ji did not understand politics, she was very shallow in politics. After all, she felt sorry for her son and nodded, "Zheng'er, you are the king of the Great Qin State. The Great Qin State cannot be without you. You can go and do your work. Mom goes to have a rest first. Zheng'er, after you finish your work, invite Mr. Zhou. It is all the power of our mother and son to reunite. Mom should thank him well."

The historical celebrity was so popular that she received such high-standard hospitality. Zhou Chong felt a little sad and said, "The Empress Dowager is so serious. Zhou Chong only said a few words and dared not be the Empress Dowager so kind." This is not a lie, it is the truth. Zhou Chong just replaced the historical celebrity. He spoke and did things long ago, so how dare he take credit?

Zhao Ji praised: "What a great Mr. Zhou, so humble! This matter is settled." With the help of the palace maid, he left by himself.

It was not until Zhao Ji's back disappeared that the King of Qin took Zhou Chong's hand and said, "Let's go, Mr. Zhou, go in with me." When he entered the room, the King of Qin asked Zhou Chong to sit down, take off his coat, hang it on the hook of the coat, do some chest expansion movements, and spit out a few breaths before sitting on the throne, facing Zhou Chong, and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Zhou, I would be separated by mother and son, and it would be difficult for my flesh and blood to be reunited. In private terms, you are kind to me, and from the perspective of state affairs, you are kind to the Great Qin State. I decided to give you an official, and you are the Grand Tutor, and you are the Grand Tutor."

"Isn't this the official you appointed to that historical celebrity back then? Why did it be mine again?" If a person is unlucky, he will choke when drinking water. If the time comes, pies will fall from the sky and hit it in his mouth. Zhou Chong never expected that he would imitate the actions of the historical celebrity, so he could get a high-ranking official so easily. He was really dizzy. If he hadn't sat on a chair, he would have fallen to the ground.

After being stunned, Zhou Chong said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong is a civilian, with no merits, nor is he capable of governing the world. He will never be able to be an official, so he asked the King Majesty to take back his life." Zhou Chong was really ashamed of this official, so how could he dare to accept it?

The King of Qin looked solemn and said, "Mr. Zhou, this is my will and cannot be changed."

Zhou Chong knew that he was talking about one thing, two things were two, and he would never change his words. His tone was already very strict. If he didn't accept it, he would probably cause trouble. He had to say: "If the king wants the people to serve, the people dare not do it, but Zhou Chong really can't do it, and he may have missed the king's major affairs."

The King of Qin smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are so humble. When hiring people, of course you have to use his best skills. Mr. Zhou has never been an official or has no experience as a director, and I will not let you do things that govern the people."

"Then what did you ask me to do? Could it be like the 'eat and wait for death' written in a time travel novel?" Zhou Chong really aroused curiosity and listened quietly.

The King of Qin continued: "I have a ready-made thing, and it is the most suitable for you, Mr. Zhou. I have used the paper and pen you made. It is very useful, light and practical. The sixty-pound slicing I had to read before now can only be finished with dozens of papers. I want to promote your Zhou Gong paper and Zhou Gong pen across the country. In this way, the efficiency of my Great Qin will be higher and my Great Qin will be stronger."

"The King of Qin is the King of Qin! I think of everything before. Such a new thing, naturally circulated words, would not be able to be accomplished without more than a hundred or two hundred years." Zhou Chong was very surprised by the King of Qin's ability to grasp new things.

The words that surprised Zhou Chong were still at the back. The King of Qin said ambitiously: "In my Great Qin State, the government will be the first step, and then the people will be the first step. When the world is unified, I will promote it to the world. Can Mr. Zhou be willing to serve me in such a big event?"

"This is a great thing to promote Chinese civilization. I, the descendant of Yan and Huang, will never refuse even if I go through fire and water!" Zhou Chong stood up excitedly and said, "Master, Zhou Chong will do his best!"

A historical experience that has been tested by history: No matter which nation does not have a profound cultural heritage, it will be difficult to survive. Of course, he can do his best in martial arts. For example, the Huns, Xianbei, Khitans, Jurchens, Mongolians, and Qing dynasties, all of these ethnic groups that are very familiar to the Chinese have conquered the Central Plains, and the end was assimilated to the Han people with a profound civilization. In his famous American historian Paul Kennedy, he once marveled at China's unique ability to assimilate conquerors in his famous book "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers".

No Chinese with patriotism would reject the request of the King of Qin, and Zhou Chong was no exception. He was willing to be a pawn and do his best to the development of Chinese civilization.

The advantage of capturing cities and territories is for a while, and the benefit of carrying forward Chinese culture is for generations. If this is done, Zhou Chong will be worthy of the ages! Although Zhou Chong did not create any school, he may not be inferior to Saint Kong.

The King of Qin praised it very much and said, "This matter is easier said than done, and it is harder to do it. No group of people can do it. Just by circulating among the people, I don't know that it will be the year of the monkey and horse month. I have thought about it. Let me take the lead in discussing this matter with Shen Qing and ask him to cooperate with you. If you have difficulties, you will find me. In one sentence: I want people to give me money, and I will give money! When the time is ripe, I will issue an order to abolish the bamboo slips."

Since Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty improved paper, for a long time, paper and simplified were used in the world. It was not until the Western Jin Dynasty that the official order was issued by the abolition of simplified paper and the status of paper was fully established. This was a major event in the history of Chinese civilization. Unexpectedly, this matter was actually thousands of years ahead of schedule and was still responsible for the implementation. Zhou Chong was so excited that he was almost like a rooster, so he jumped into the room to crow and said, "The king is the wise!"

With the King of Qin so courage, anyone would sincerely praise him for his sainthood, and Zhou Chong was no exception.

"Ren Chong, come in." The King of Qin walked to the door and shouted outside.

The door creaked and pushed open, and a big man came in. He was eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his eyes were like lightning. He bowed to the King of Qin and said, "I have seen the king!" The sound was like a bell, which made people's ears buzzing.

"A real hero!" Zhou Chong was amazed in his heart.

The King of Qin waved and said, "Ren Chong, this is Mr. Zhou, you have seen it."

Ren Chong and Zhou Chong met with the rituals, and Zhou Chong returned the rituals and thought to himself: "Okay, why did you call another strongman? What are your tricks?"

The King of Qin introduced to Zhou Chong: "Mr. Zhou, this is my descendant of the Great Qin warrior. He is worthy of his reputation. Look at Ren Chong's body, he is no less than Naizu."

"Ren Chong?" Zhou Chong had a slight thought and immediately thought of a person, Ren Bi, a famous warrior in Qin State during the reign of King Wu of Qin. King Wu of Qin was a man of great strength. When he arrived in Luoyang, he was ready to move the Nine Cauldrons back to Xianyang. He was competitive for a while and competed with his strong man Meng Ben to raise the cauldron. The cauldron was too heavy, and it was said that Meng Ben broke his eyes. King Wu of Qin failed, and the cauldron fell and broke his ankle. It hurt to death that King Zhaoxiang of Qin ascended the throne.

At that time, Ren Bi was also on the scene. Not only did he not participate in the lifting of the tripod, he also strongly advised King Wu of Qin and refused to accept it. Later, when Qin pursued this responsibility, Meng Ben was killed. Ren Bi did not ask about it and became a high-ranking official.
