"According to estimates, the scale of the large-scale construction projects in Shanglin Garden is almost no less than that of the Xianyang City built by Shang Jun..."
"If Shanglinyuan is built, it will be the future Xianyang New City..."
Wang Jian's power in the army was so deep-rooted that Zhao Shu did not think that he alone could compete with hundreds of schools of thought and aristocratic families.
He must find a group of like-minded people. Only in this way can he increase his safety. Zhao Shu is confident but not arrogant.
At this moment, Qin Wangzheng, Li Si, Dunruo, and Zhang Han are all considered to be on the same path as him, but these alone are not enough.
Except for the 30,000 Shanglin Army under his control, these forces are not enough to fight against the powerful families and hundreds of schools of thought.
The most important thing is that Qin Wangzheng, as the king of Great Qin, often cannot come forward directly. More often, he needs to deal with the aftermath.
Therefore, Zhao Shu needs more and more determined supporters.
And Wang Jian is the best choice.
none of them.
Seeing Zhao Shu say this, Wang Jian was stunned. He thought Zhao Shu would give him a perfect explanation, but it turned out that what Zhao Shu said was different from an admission.
"Sir, the construction of the palace at this moment will put too much pressure on the people of Lao Qin and the treasury. It is impossible for the king not to see this."
Wang Jian shook his head, with a solemn look in his eyes, staring at Zhao Shu. He knew in his heart that there must be something he didn't know about.
Seeing Wang Jian looking at him like this, Zhao Shu stopped beating around the bush and turned directly towards Wang Jian and said, "The king plans to move the Hidden Palace to Shanglin Garden and build the Hidden Palace."
"At the same time, establish a school in Shanglinyuan, a large school like Jixia Academy..."
At this moment, Wang Jian understood. He knew that King Qin's government was building a palace to cover up the construction of a school palace.
It's just that such a move can be done openly. Even if the aristocratic families and various schools of thought secretly resist, it is nothing more than a delicate disease.
After taking a sip of wine, Wang Jian glanced at Zhao Shu meaningfully. He knew that things in Shanglin Garden were by no means that simple.
Otherwise, with the domineering and self-confidence of Qin Wangzheng, he would never be so willing to cover up his affairs and even go so far as to bear a bad reputation.
"Sir, even if it is a school over there like Jixia Academy, the king will not let the king destroy his name!"
Wang Jian took a deep look at Zhao Shu. He had a feeling that this matter was very important and even related to the future of Da Qin.
"Young master, you can trust Wang Jian. The Wang family has no doubts about the Qin Dynasty and the king."
Wang Jian had said so. Zhao Shu pretended to be embarrassed and smiled bitterly at Wang Jian: "General, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but the king has warned me that if more people know, I will be in trouble."
"However, the general and the Wang family are the king's confidants. The king also asked that if the general asks, he can reveal something."
Zhao Shu looked at Wang Jian and said in a low tone: "The king plans to build a school palace in Shanglin Garden to break the control of knowledge by the great families and various schools of thought."
"So, Shanglin Garden is not just a school, but countless school palaces, covering all aspects. In the future, Shanglin Garden will be a new city."
Zhao Shu was like pouring beans. He was afraid that Wang Jian would regret it, so he said it directly without Wang Jian asking.
"In the future, the Great Qin will sweep through the Shandong kingdoms and unify the world. The current Xianyang City will appear too small and does not meet the scale of a capital city for a powerful country."
"At that time, the expansion of Xianyang City will be imminent, and the area of Shanglinyuan has mountains and rivers. Instead of letting the king build any palaces, it is better to use it to build a new city."
"According to the positioning of the King and me, the future Shanglin Garden will be the center of cultural movement in the Qin Dynasty and the most prosperous place in the Qin Dynasty in the future."
........
Having said this, Zhao Shu smiled at Wang Jian and said: "The general can purchase some shops and mansions, and the value will definitely increase in the future."
"According to my calculations, the price of Shanglin Garden in the future, that is, a mansion in Xianyang New City, will be far higher than that of Xianyang City now."
After drinking three cups of warm wine in a row, Wang Jian suppressed the shock in his heart. He did not expect that Zhao Shu and Qin Wangzheng were actually planning this.
"Young Master, gather the world's literary fortunes in Shanglin and break the monopoly of knowledge by hundreds of schools and families. This will be a good thing for the king and the Qin Dynasty."
Wang Jian's expression moved slightly, his eyes were fixed on Zhao Shu, and he said, "Do you know what kind of situation you will encounter in the future?"
"Shang Jun's story from the past is still vivid in my mind!"
After taking a sip of wine, Zhao Ci said with a faint voice, "If the king's heir has the courage and talent of King Huiwen, the king will be able to wake up from his sleep with a smile."
"The defeat of Lord Shang was caused by not only the king but also Young Master Qian. As for the old clan..."
"As long as I have the Great Qin warriors in my hands, I can suppress all enemies in the world. If the great families don't bow their heads, then I will kill them until they bow their heads."
At this moment, Zhao Shu showed a smile on his lips, and said meaningfully to Wang Jian: "The reason why the king is so decisive in killing is mostly due to his experiences in his youth."
"He is the king of Great Qin, so he rarely goes to the battlefield, but I am different. I have experienced the hardships of my youth and have seen the good and evil of human nature."
"He rose from among the elite men of the Great Qin Dynasty. The reason why the general and his skills came to prominence was not because of the bloodline of this royal family, but because of his military exploits."
"But because of the killing!"
When he said this, Zhao Shu lowered his eyes, glanced at his hands, and said in a deep voice: "These hands, in this life, are probably hands that catch knives, and they are destined to be stained with blood."
Wang Jian was relieved to see that Zhao Shu was prepared in his heart instead of just filled with passion and ideals.
Zhao Shu was a young man with outstanding military talent that he had seen in his life, and he did not want Zhao Shu to give up halfway.
"Sir, building a new city is probably more extensive and expensive than building a palace, right?" Wang Jian stared at Zhao Shu, wanting to know an answer.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu smiled meaningfully and said: "General, the king gave me the harvest of the Beidou Chamber of Commerce."
"The current Hidden Palace is home to the Nandou Chamber of Commerce and the Beidou Chamber of Commerce. In the early stage of the new city, there is no shortage of money. Moreover, we are only building the academy."
"The rest will be recruited from within Daqin. Believe me, if you build Xianyang New City, you will not lose money, but will make a lot of money."
"The only drawback is that this process is very long and will take at least several years. The sword of the academy must be polished before it can be seen in the world!"
