Cao Xiu ignored the two of them and listened carefully. These children did not live up to his painstaking efforts. There was no fault in the recitation process, but they were barely qualified.
"This article is suitable for children's enlightenment."
After listening, Qin Shihuang also gave his own evaluation.
"Yes, yes, yes, especially the sentence "Qi Jian Po Mu, the best soldier!"
Wang Jian couldn't help but nodded with a smile.
Bai Qi, Lian Po, and Li Mu were all men who used soldiers like gods, so there was nothing wrong with having the same name as them. Besides, who would be unhappy if he could be praised?
"Why not use Cangjie and other three chapters?"
"Because it's not suitable for enlightenment..."
Cao Xiu spoke helplessly.
Naturally, he had his own intention in choosing Thousand Character Essay. Articles such as the Three Character Classic are not suitable for this period. Many articles nowadays are written in four words, for example, Guan Guan Ju Jiu in the Book of Songs, "On the River Continent".
Coincidentally, the same is true for "The Thousand Character Essay".
Cao Xiu also knew the three chapters of Cangjie mentioned by Azheng.
After the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, he began drastic reforms. He didn't like many things and wanted to unify them all.
In order to promote Xiaozhuan, officials were ordered to write books. They are "Cangjie Pian" written by Li Si, "Yuanli Pian" written by Zhao Gao and "Erudition Pian" written by Taishi Hu Wujing. Later generations called these three articles Qin Sancang.
"Not suitable for enlightenment?"
Qin Shihuang frowned.
"Yes, the content is too obscure and difficult to understand, and the whole article is filled with all kinds of big principles. For young students, it is too strenuous to learn."
"So you compiled this thousand-character essay?"
"Yes...no, it was compiled by Zhou Xingsi!"
"Edit, keep making it up!"
"..."
Qin Shihuang smiled.
How could Cao Xiu still deceive him with these three tricks?
Cao Xiu shook his head helplessly. Why didn't anyone believe him when he told the truth? It doesn't matter if others are like this, they don't even believe it with these two good guys.
As a time-traveler, you must take the path of Wenzhaogong, otherwise you will be sorry to the people and readers! But even if he is a copywriter, Cao Xiu must be a responsible copywriter. Keeping the name of the original author is his bottom line!
After a while, the door was pushed open.
The man who came out was a middle-aged man, eight feet five inches tall. He has a long beard, wears a long double-plate crown on his head and a yellow tassel under his chin, and wears brocade clothes and leather boots. He is nearly forty years old, and his every move exudes stability.
After seeing Cao Xiu, he immediately smiled.
"Xiu'er, you're here."
"I've seen the chief official."
"It doesn't have to be that way in private."
The man smiled lightly and helped Cao Xiu up.
He was Xiao He, the future famous Xiangguo, who was known as the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty. Among the founding heroes of the Western Han Dynasty, he ranked first in terms of merit and was awarded swords and shoes to the palace.
Xiao He's ability is extremely outstanding, and he is best at destroying troops. Liu Bang was defeated in the front and there was no one available, so Xiao He could make up for it immediately. When he needed food, grass, ordnance, Xiao He would send people to transport it.
After Liu Bang rebelled and entered the Pass, the soldiers all robbed gold, silk, property and beauties. Only Xiao He rushed to the Yushi Mansion in a hurry to check the Qin Dynasty's national household registration, topography, laws and other books and files one by one, classify them into categories, and register them.
Later, Liu Bang was able to know the congested areas in the world, the number of household registrations, the strengths and weaknesses, and the sufferings of the people, all because of Xiao He's foresight!
Xiao He deserves to be the first to contribute to the founding of the Western Han Dynasty!
Naturally, Cao Xiu made friends with such capable people early on. Regardless of the future, Xiao He is now also the chief official of Pei County, in charge of the advancement and retreat of the group of officials. The Xiao family is the most wealthy family in Peixian County. Their family is so big that even the county magistrate has to give them face.
Cao Xiu was able to get acquainted with him only because of his cousin Cao Shen.
When his mother passed away a few years ago, it was Xiao He who helped organize the affairs. When Cao Xiu was doing business, Xiao He secretly helped a lot. Later, Cao Xiu wanted to become a rural official, so Xiao He helped him change his household registration and gave him many books to read.
Xiao He was an upright man and had been a minor official in Chu State before. After Qin destroyed Chu, he became a Qin official. The key is that Xiao He has outstanding abilities and is the first in Peixian County to be proficient in Xiaozhuan. Even the county magistrate is ashamed of his good calligraphy. The documents he wrote were never flawless.
In terms of age, Xiao He can be said to be Cao Xiu's uncle. It's just that Cao Shen was his cousin, and Cao Shen was discussing Xiao He's peers, so Cao Xiu also took advantage of it.
Soon, Xiao He looked at the child next to him.
"Did you pick these two children up again?"
"Hey, my sworn brother knows me."
"You..."
Xiao He shook his head helplessly and looked at the two of them. Having known Cao Xiu for so many years, I also know what he is like. Over the years, Cao Xiu would always take action against victims of disasters selling their children and daughters in various places. They secretly cultivate these people without knowing their purpose.
However, Xiao He could probably guess it.
Cao Xiu... is someone who wants to do great things!
It seems free and uninhibited, but in fact it is extremely deep.
When he first saw Cao Xiu, he knew that Cao Xiu would become a great person in the future. Facts have proved that Cao Xiu is indeed very talented, and even Xiao He is ashamed of himself in many things.
For example, in business, Cao Xiu was very prosperous. He is making so much money that even the county magistrate is jealous. He is also proficient in various crafts and has a Mohist style. He often has some weird ideas, but they can benefit the people and the country.
It's just that due to Qin Fa, Cao Xiu never reported it.
Cao Xiu was originally from Jia, and later became the pavilion chief of Sishui. According to Qin laws, Cao Xiu had to perform his duties as the pavilion chief well. If he overstepped his authority and made some gadgets and reported it, not only would he not be rewarded, but he would also be punished!
People with different household registrations in Qin should do their own jobs. If farmers don't think about farming, but instead think about crafts and utensils all day long, wouldn't the order of the Qin State be chaotic?
Therefore, such people must be severely punished!
At first, Cao Xiu happily went to Xiao He to ask for a reward while holding the drawings of Tashi. Xiao He just said: The ministers of the Ming Dynasty should not surpass their official positions and achieve meritorious service, and they should not make improper statements. If you exceed the official position, you will die, if you do not do it, you will be punished!
Then, Cao Xiu hurried away...
Unless he is a craftsman or an official in charge of craftsmen, there is no way he can get rewards for his inventions and creations. Because of this incident, Cao Xiu often criticized Shang Yang. It was all his fault!
…
Xiao He had free time these days, so he came to help teach the young students. Seeing these two children in front of me, I immediately became interested. Both of them have thin skin and tender flesh, and you can tell at a glance that they were born into an extraordinary family.
"Do you know the details of these two people?"
"I am Wuchenghou Wang Jian, this is the First Emperor!" After knowing Xiao He's identity, Wang Jian said quickly: "If you can send His Majesty back to Xianyang, I will definitely reward you well!"
"???"
Xiao He looked at Cao Xiu with a question mark on his face. The latter shrugged helplessly and said quietly: "Brother, don't let them deceive you. I guess they are the queen of the six kings, just to avoid disaster, deliberately Pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.”
"Is there any possibility... that they are really stupid?"
"Well, let's make do with it!"
Listening to the two men's whispers, Qin Shihuang suddenly turned pale.
What does it mean to make ends meet? !
Speak clearly!
He has never suffered such humiliation!
