It's not that Zhang Ji looks down on Situ Wanli. Although in Qin Shi's plot, this guy is just a young boy, his ability is still pretty good.
Although the farm family respects Emperor Yan Shennong as the ancestor of the farm family, the actual establishment of the farm family is still presided over by a branch of the Tian Qi royal family.
Therefore, the upper echelons of the farm family have always been centered on the Tian clan. No one with a foreign surname has ever been able to serve as the leader of the farm family. There are very few people with a foreign surname as the leader of a clan. The lower-level disciples also use Tian clan members.
However, Situ Wanli, as a person with a foreign surname, gained the trust and appreciation of the farmer's family and took over Qianlongtang, a non-staff organization of the farmer's family. This shows his extraordinary ability.
Qianlongtang is an organization that has grown rapidly over the years and is well-known in the seven countries. The most peculiar thing about it is that although it is in the world, it only deals with dignitaries from various countries. To be more precise, it does business.
There is only one kind of business in Qianlongtang, and that is Yibao.
Treasures are just like beauties. No matter how much you cherish them and play with them every day, one day you will get tired of that pretty beauty.
Loving the new and hating the old is one of the most stubborn human instincts.
The dignitaries have searched for all the rare treasures in the world, and they are not satisfied.
Home flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers.
These dignitaries always feel that the treasures in the hands of others are always better than their own, just like other people's wives and concubines always look more charming than their own... If they can exchange it, then Nothing could be better.
Of course, what was exchanged were rare treasures.
And this is also the meaning of Qianlongtang’s existence.
Qianlongtang will hold Yibao Conference twice a month, on the first and fifteenth day of each month respectively. Before each event, a letter will be sent to the selected guests in advance, inviting them to bring it to a certain date and time. Bao came to Qianlongtang to trade.
Outsiders don't know what Qianlongtang's criteria are for selecting guests each time. I only know that Qianlongtang, which nominally does not have contact with people in the world and only invites dignitaries, will actually invite some celebrities from various schools of thought.
But no matter who they invite, the invited person is extremely noble regardless of their identity and status, and will rarely refuse.
After all, behind the Qianlong Hall is the Nongjia, the largest school among the hundreds of scholars. No one would easily turn against the Nongjia, which has hundreds of thousands of disciples, because of such a trivial matter.
Moreover, from a certain perspective, receiving an invitation from Qianlong Hall is undoubtedly a recognition of their identity and status, so almost no one will refuse.
Therefore, although Qianlongtang is a non-staff organization of the farmer's family, its importance and status are still very high, which can also be seen from Situ Wanli's ability.
Not to mention that Situ Wanli later became one of the few peasants with a foreign surname as the head of the Siyue Hall.
But in any case, the higher status of the master of Qianlong Hall is only external.
For other schools of thought, the leader of the Qianlong Hall cannot match the identity of the Mohist leader of this class.
During the Warring States Period, identity was very important.
Different statuses have different benefits.
Although Lin Xiangru, who returned to Zhao with a perfect jade, was once a retainer of the eunuch Ling Muxian, as an envoy of the State of Zhao and holding the certificate of the State of Zhao, according to his status, he should be received with the courtesy of nine guests in Xianyang Palace, a palace that receives distinguished guests. It should not be It is Zhangtai Palace, which serves as the "study" for handling government affairs.
As a branch of the Qi royal family, the move of sending Situ Wanli to negotiate with Zhang Ji reminds people of the time when Yan Ying, an important auxiliary minister of Qi Linggong, Zhuanggong, and Jinggong, was sent as an envoy to Chu. Two sentences he said to King Ling of Chu during his reign.
"Let those who belong to the dog country enter through the dog door."
"Every envoy has his own master. The wise ones entrust the wise masters, and the unworthy envoys entrust the unworthy masters."
It's unclear whether the farmer is trying to show his connotation, or whether he simply doesn't want to meet Zhang Ji in a high-profile manner.
However, he finally chose to meet Situ Wanli.
Situ Wanli is indeed a talent, and he is also an ambitious talent. For this ambition, he will abandon some lower limits.
In the future, since Situ Wanli could package himself up and sell it to Tian Hu and infiltrate the inner circle of the Zhu family as a traitor, why would he package himself up and sell it to Luo Wang and the Qin State?
However, even though Zhang Ji wanted to have a good chat with Situ Wanli, he still chose to let the Mohist god-killing swordsman bring Situ Wanli to this side hall.
This was a matter of principle. Whether it was because of his status as the leader of the Mohist family or the purpose of gaining an early advantage, he could not choose to meet Situ Wanli in the main hall.
Not long after, the Mohist god-slaying swordsman brought a man dressed in Chinese clothes. He was wearing a dark green outer robe and a golden lining with a black dragon-shaped group drawn in the middle. The edge is embroidered with green auspicious clouds, which looks quite luxurious.
But Situ Wanli didn't look good enough for this gorgeous dress. His thin body couldn't support the spacious frame of this gorgeous dress.
Moreover, Situ Wanli looked a bit older, with an oval face and a goatee and mustache coexisting on his face. He has straight hair, white in the middle and black on the sides. Although he is only in his twenties according to the information, he looks like he has entered middle age.
Situ Wanli also noticed Zhang Ji looking at him, and he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Farmer Situ Wanli, the master of Qianlong Hall, a despicable person, has the honor to meet Commander Zhang Ji today. It is really a great honor."
Zhang Ji did not reply immediately, but lowered his head and took a sip of white porridge. Then he raised his head again and looked at Situ Wanli. He nodded casually, without letting Jing Salamander and Yan Lingji, who were female relatives, step back. People just continued to have breakfast in the side hall, as if Situ Wanli was not there.
He wanted to win over Situ Wanli for Qin's use, but first he had to deal with the purpose of his visit today.
But Situ Wanli didn't care and kept smiling.
This was also the first time he saw the real Zhang Ji. Just like the portrait and the rumors, he was a young and handsome young man. His strong aura showed his martial arts talent, and his achievements in inventing papermaking and printing also made him He became famous and famous all over the world.
However, only when you meet Zhang Ji in person will you see Zhang Ji with an appearance that is completely unknown to others.
He looked arrogant and proud because he was young and accomplished.
But the more arrogant Zhang Ji was, the happier Situ Wanli became.
Because they are moody and angry, and this kind of person is the best to deal with.
Moreover, beside Zhang Ji, in addition to the famous Luowang Tianzi first-class killer Jing Salamander, there is actually a peerless beauty. Such a beauty can even a cautious person like him be unable to suppress the fire in his heart. This shows that Zhang Ji Ji is definitely a lustful person.
A lustful person is the easiest to provoke and control.
Thinking of this, the smile on Situ Wanli's face grew stronger.
It just so happened that this time the farmer specially selected a stunning beauty in order to make friends with Zhang Ji.
Although not as beautiful as this woman in a black and red dress, she is still a rare enchanting woman, and she is from the Tian family, which is enough to express the sincerity of the farmer.
I heard that this Tian’s daughter is named Tian Mi?

I checked the official setting of the timeline and experiences of the main characters in Farmhouse.
Ten years after Shengqi was captured by Qin, Gai Nie fled Qin with 12-year-old Tianming, which meant that Shengqi was captured when Tianming was two years old. The time when Tianming was born was about a year before Jing Ke assassinated Qin, that is, around 228 BC, Sheng Qi, who had left the farmhouse, was captured by the Qin State, and this year was about 228 BC from the timeline of the first season of Tian Xing Jiu Ge. More than ten years passed.
According to the official setting, Shengqi, who had just been kicked out of the farmhouse, was about thirty years old at the time. Pushing forward ten years to the timeline of the first season of Tian Xing Jiu Ge, he was almost twenty years old.
Wu Kuang, as Sheng Qi's good brother, should be about the same age. From this, it can be roughly deduced that Tian Mi's age should be less than 20 years old, which is exactly in line with the age of the protagonist, and if she had not married Wu Kuang at this age, , not too illogical!
If you think the author is sophisticated enough, please leave a comment hehehe~
