"I'm back!"
When Wang Li returned, he brought a large collection of books, which were pulled by cart.
How many books does the Wang family have?
At this time, there was no separation of civil and military affairs, and the trick was to become a general or a prime minister.
Wang Jian, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, was a scholar in his family.
Knowledge is the foundation of one's life, but people are only in charge of military strategists.
The top generals of this era are far from being arrogant. Almost all nobles understand the importance of knowledge, regardless of civil or military skills. In this era, there are very few warriors who despise knowledge. Even the rangers have learned the principles of Mohism.
Wang Jian is the only Chehou in the Qin Dynasty, and the Wang family is the top noble in the Qin Dynasty. Their treasures are far more than wealth, fields, and slaves that can be measured.
And knowledge!
The Wang family has a huge collection of books. Almost every family and faction has a certain collection.
Because the books given by the First Emperor were "Xianxue" and "Five Worms", Wang Jian only sent books related to Legalism. However, the Wang family's collection of books only about Legalism had to be carried by cart.
"So many?" Zhao Si came out and saw three carts full of bamboo slips.
Jing who was following him was also stunned, with emotion on his face.
"When will we see this?"
The emotions in Jingyan's eyes were very complicated, including envy, shock, and longing.
In this era, knowledge is directly linked to wealth and can be directly exchanged for money.
The several volumes of books in the home are extremely precious.
In this era, it is not uncommon to see inspiring stories about lonely nobles who eventually returned to their peak and regained their glory by relying on a few volumes of books in their family collection.
Wealth can be lost, power can be lost, but as long as the aristocratic status is still there, even if it is the lowest level scholar, and the family education is still there, even if it is just a copy, there may be a day when it can regain its glory.
There is no doubt that this is the era of the aristocracy.
Qin's military merit system can break the restrictions of status, but it cannot break the monopoly of knowledge.
The Jing family was not aristocratic, nor did they have a collection of books.
Even the characters he knows now were all taught by Zhao Si.
"I finally know why being rich and knowledgeable is so praised!" Zhao Si walked over with a smile and bowed to Wang Li.
If you want to be knowledgeable in this era, you really have to read a lot of books.
"Thank you!" Zhao Si handed over his hand.
He is no longer a newbie, he already understands the preciousness of knowledge in this era.
It was precisely because of this that he knew what the collection of books sent by Wang Li meant.
"After I finish borrowing it, I will definitely return it to Zhao intact!" Zhao Si said with a smile.
"No need! These are given to you!" Wang Li smiled and hugged Zhao Si's shoulders.
"It's not worth having someone copy it at home." Wang Li said.
Zhao Si did not refuse. He was indeed in need of books to read. There was no need to refuse such things, but he did not take Wang Li's words seriously because he was not precious.
If it were not precious, the story of Cheng Menlixue would not be immortalized through the ages.
"In addition, I will give you some maids..." Wang Li bumped Zhao Si's chest with his shoulder, with a meaningful smile on his face.
They all understand men's matters, not to mention that Zhao Si was taken care of by Wang Li to take care of his physiological needs.
"Didn't I say it before? I haven't settled down yet..." Zhao Si waved his hand.
I have to say that the maid of the Wang family is really smooth.
Whether they are singers or dancers, their professional abilities are probably among the best in this era, and Wang Li has been complacent more than once.
Because many of them were personally rewarded by the First Emperor, how could it be possible that their professional abilities were not enough and their beauty was not attractive enough?
The nobles of this era kept singers and dancers in their homes not necessarily for indulgence, but also as a way to demonstrate their strength and financial resources.
Besides, after Wang Jian retired after his success, he felt a little helpless for many pages, not to mention that he later became ill, but these maids represent the reputation of the Wang family.
Whether it is given as a gift, or danced and sung when entertaining guests, it will make everyone happy.
Zhao Si is a normal man, he is already 21 years old. When the firepower is strong, it would be nonsense to say that he is not greedy, but as a modern person, he always feels that this kind of feeling of giving away friends is weird. .
Moreover, there is no reward for no merit. Every maid in the Wang family is very beautiful. On weekdays, the two brothers just eat and drink together. How did they receive such a great gift? The average value of these handmaids is also a top resource for the Wang family.
Therefore, Zhao Si declined with the original reason.
"Who said there is no place to settle?" Wang Li raised his eyebrows and took out a house deed.
"My great father asked me to send you."
After that, he thrust it into Zhao Si's hands, and Zhao Si quickly declined. This gift was quite big.
The books delivered today alone are worth a lot of money.
Although these housemaids and even slaves may not mean anything to the entire Wang family, we cannot accept it as a matter of course just because the other party is rich and we are poor.
Because these things are too precious to Zhao Si.
"Brother, please accept it quickly. This is my eldest father's order. If you don't accept it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to return home in the future." After saying that, he stuffed the deed of the house into Zhao Si's clothes.
Zhao Si wanted to return it to Wang Li, but Wang Li had already jumped three feet away and made it clear that he would not give Zhao Si any chance. If he refused and said nonsense, it would only weaken the relationship. Zhao Si had no choice but to say: "Then you Please tell me why Chehou treats me so seriously."
Wang Li then sat down cross-legged and then stayed away from Zhao Si as if guarding against thieves, telling Zhao Si what happened, for fear that Zhao Si would take back the house deed.
After hearing this, Zhao Si didn't understand why.
What Wang Li meant was that Wang Ben asked Wang Li to send him some maids.
Wang Jian simply gave away the servants and maids in the house?
Picture what? Do you think you have a bright future? Picture yourself having a meal with the First Emperor?
It's not that Zhao Si couldn't feel the First Emperor's closeness to him. Although it was the effect of the golden finger, it was still the First Emperor's closeness. Zhao Si would not pretend to be confused because he understood.
But...it's totally unnecessary.
With the status of the Wang family, let alone the First Emperor being close to him, even if he were the prince, he would still have to curry favor with the Wang family.
Wang Jian, a highly respected minister, is the Marquis of Che!
Wang Ben was also awarded a title due to his merit, and he was in the first echelon of his generation.
In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that he has a good future, he is friends with Wang Li, and the Wang family has shown goodwill to him.
There is no mention of bribery. Although these things are precious, they are only more precious to Zhao Si who currently has no wealth. In contrast, Zhao Si's current net worth is more precious.
"It seems that I have to pay homage to Marquis Che." Zhao Si looked at Wang Li who was far away from him, shaking his head and laughing.
"Okay, my eldest father also asked me to invite you to my home to watch the dance when I have time." Wang Li nodded.
"By the way, I heard that your eldest father's legs and feet are not good?" Zhao Si asked.
When Wang Li was talking about what happened, he mentioned it in passing.
"Yes, it would be difficult to sit down without a seat." Wang Li said with a melancholy look on his face.
"On weekdays, I have to be supported to move around..."
Zhao Si nodded.
Got it, you can give Wang Jian a recliner and wheelchair in return.
This thing is not difficult...
