Cao Xiu frowned.
Then he looked at Zhao Xie next to him.
He has a feeling that there must be something fishy between these two people!
"What's the point of taking a step?"
"Then I will speak frankly." Qin Jia raised his hand, "I have carefully discussed it with Mr. Zhao. I hope Mr. Cao can work hard to climb up and try to sneak into Xianyang as a court official. If he can reach the rank of Sangong and Jiuqing, he will be of great help to us. It will be more beneficial for future uprisings!”
"Wait a minute...I'll take care of it first!"
Cao Xiu even doubted whether he heard it correctly.
Do you want him to be a Qin traitor and an undercover agent? !
"Are you serious?"
"Xiu'er, don't be anxious, just listen to me slowly." Zhao Xie took over the words and said seriously: "If it were someone else, we wouldn't be worried. But over the years, Mr. Cao has contributed money and effort, and we all see it. In my eyes. Now that the fate of the Qin Dynasty has not been exhausted, we have no hope of uprising and can only hide in the dark. "
As he spoke, Zhao Xie stood up.
"Let's just say that this time the tyrant was assassinated. We don't know many of the inside stories. We just got some information from various places. We can't tell the truth from the false. As for Xianyang... we don't even dare to enter. We rely on retainers to enter the city. Get some information."
"You have outstanding abilities and talents. As long as you are willing, it is possible for you to become an official to the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers in time. If you can reach a high position, you may be able to participate in the decision-making of the Qin State. This will be more beneficial to our future uprising. Take advantage of it. Due to my position, I can get a lot of information."
"Holy shit?!"
Cao Xiu jumped up immediately.
Could these two be teasing him? !
Yes, this approach is indeed feasible.
He remembered that during the Anti-Japanese War, there were many big names.
But what if he is found out?
Rebellion these days is a dead end, and the whole family will be buried with him. If he really wants to run to Xianyang to be a spy with this little trick, I'm afraid he might be talking in his sleep one day and it will all come out.
"Who thought of this?"
"Except for me, everyone else agrees."
"No, you don't consider the consequences?"
"For the great cause of resisting Qin, it all depends on you!"
Cao Xiu stared, dumbfounded and said: "What you think is good, but have you ever thought that I may be extending my life by being promoted to an official position? If I don't make some political achievements, do you really think I can be promoted?"
"These are all trivial matters." Qin Jia waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "We can send dead soldiers to pretend to be bandits, and then Xiu'er will lead the people to suppress them. In this way, we can achieve meritorious service and be promoted to nobility."
"These people are all working for you!"
"Since you have sold your life to me, why not?"
"..."
Looking at Qin Jia who was taking it for granted, Cao Xiu fell silent. He knew that human life was worthless now, but he never expected that it would be so despicable. In later generations, he also watched some spy movies, in which some spies were even forced to kill their own comrades in order not to be exposed.
But Qin Jia is taking the initiative to do this!
The purpose is to let him be promoted to a noble position!
"Zhao Jun, do you think so too?"
“Those who achieve great things don’t stick to trivial matters.”
Zhao Xie said lightly.
It seems that dozens of lives are nothing.
However, their plan does work. There are many ways to promote officials and nobles in the Qin State, especially for Qin officials. For example, if the yield per mu under the rule is high and the person ranks high in the annual assessment, he will be promoted and reused.
Or solving a major case, catching a wanted criminal, or solving the bandits plaguing the county... These can add a lot of luster to political achievements. If you get the attention and recommendation of a big shot, you can rise to the top in one step.
However, Qin officials rarely recommend others. If the person being recommended does a good job, that's fine. If you do a poor job and make a mistake, the recommender will also be punished.
"Aren't you afraid that I will return to Qin after doing my job?"
"Impossible!" Zhao Xie said matter-of-factly: "Even if I return to Qin, it is impossible for you to return to Qin."
"Forehead?"
Cao Xiu touched his nose with a slight guilty conscience.
Of course he wanted to be the emperor in his heart, but he knew that he might not be the right one. It would be difficult for him to manage a village, let alone a country.
Of course, no one is born to be an emperor. He could also learn how to govern the country and the people, but that would be too tiring. He also has to engage in various power struggles. If he is not careful, he may be pulled down. Even his own son has to be careful.
Tsk... Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could enjoy the rights and status of an emperor without having to do anything?
Of course, just think about it.
How can there be such a good thing in the world?
"Xiu'er, don't worry." Zhao Xie smiled and said calmly: "I also plan to disturb you for a few more days, so you can think about it slowly. This matter is of great importance, and I hope you will consider it carefully!"
Cao Xiu looked at Zhao Xie and remained silent.
He remembered reading a book in his previous life, which said that Zhao Gao was actually a descendant of the Zhao family. In order to take revenge, he concealed his name and infiltrated the Qin court. After the death of the First Emperor, he couldn't wait to start acting like a monster. First, he successfully supported Hu Hai to succeed to the throne, and then killed all the Qin clan and ministers, even destroying Qin's 500-year-old foundation.
The fall of the Qin State is indeed inseparable from Zhao Gao, but the contents of this book can only be read. Now it has also inspired Cao Xiuxin, maybe he can really do this!
As a time traveler, with his intervention, he might be able to extend the life of Qin. But it doesn't matter to him. Just like Xiao He and Cao Shen said, it's no problem at all.
This is a double-edged sword.
How to use it depends entirely on Cao Xiu.
After thinking about it, Cao Xiu felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
However, he also wanted to know the opinions of Xiao He and Cao Shen on this matter. These two were his think tanks. After the last showdown, Cao Xiu didn't bother to cover up anymore. It just so happens that Zhao Xie will stay for a few more days, so it doesn't matter.
"Okay, I'll give you an answer in three days."
"good!"
Zhao Xie and Qin Jia nodded at the same time.
Regardless of whether Cao Xiu agrees or not, this is the person they must win over. Not to mention Cao Xiu's talents, the money and food he has saved in his hands is immeasurable!
Take Qin Jia as an example. His business with Cao Shen was actually just to earn hard money. He did the most difficult, tiring and dangerous work. Not only did he have to cut firewood to cook the sea in the East China Sea, he also had to transport coarse salt to Peixian County, and he had to be wary of searches by officials.
Even so, he has made a lot of money in the past few years. Not to mention anything else, the Qin family has now become the number one clan in Donghai Ling County, and even the county magistrate has to give him three points of thin noodles.
His achievement is all thanks to Cao Xiu!
Qin Jia can also see now that if there is an uprising in the future, there will definitely be internal fighting again. After all, how many peaceful days passed before Qin destroyed the six kingdoms?
Today you hit me, tomorrow I will hit you. They are united now just because they have a common enemy. The six kingdoms united several times, but were eventually destroyed by Qin. This is the reality. If we can get Cao Xiu's support, we will definitely succeed!
"Xiu'er!"
"Come and see what you have gained today!"
Azheng's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Huh? Why does this voice sound familiar?"
Zhao Xie frowned slightly and stood up.
