The promise was so smooth that Zhao Si felt a little uncomfortable.
Originally, according to the original plan, Zhao Si was prepared to spend a few days thinking about how to arrange the other party, but now Chen Sheng and Wu Guang knelt down in the blink of an eye.
"Please get up quickly!" Zhao Si quickly helped the two of them get up.
"Thank you, Lord!"
The two of them stood still. Although happiness came very suddenly, both Chen Sheng and Wu Guang quickly accepted their identities.
Just kidding, this is Zhao Si!
King Qin goes... ah no, the ministers around the First Emperor!
It is said that among ministers, Zhao Gao and Meng Yi were not as favored by the First Emperor as Zhao Si, even though he was a minister.
The two remembered another rumor!
It is said that the reason why the First Emperor went on a killing spree in Dongjun was because Zhao Si was injured by Wei Ji, and the First Emperor vented his anger for him.
Although it is a rumor, the favor of the First Emperor towards Zhao Si can be seen.
Chen Sheng dreams of being prosperous and wealthy. His biggest goal is to become a client of the local noble She family.
He was even humiliated because of it, and the bruises between his eyebrows were caused by being laughed at and fighting with the guests of the She family.
As for now?
She family? What is it?
Just a nobleman from a county!
Becoming a disciple of Zhao Si has a bright future!
"I wonder, my lord, what orders do you have?"
Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor.
The relationship between disciples and guests is not just a relationship of support. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang still understand this simple truth.
In order to secure this position, Chen Sheng must also show his value.
"There is no rush now... In this case, you go and change your clothes first. In addition, you should still be a slave. I will send someone to take off your slave status. Your Majesty will continue to sail soon, and we will go home. Set it up properly and come with me." Zhao Si said.
After the words fell, Wu Guang immediately bowed again.
Denationalization can be said to be a great favor for him.
Although he knew that it was not difficult to leave his country as a disciple of Zhao Si, Wu Guang was still very excited when Zhao Si made the promise in person.
From today on, he is no longer a slave.
But an upright person, a retainer of Zhao Si, a close minister of the First Emperor!
"Then let's do this for now..."
Zhao Si waved his hand and sent his subordinates to prepare a change of clothes for the two of them and to heat up hot water.
Zhao Si still has business to do. His main task is to be the secretary of the First Emperor, and his secondary role is to collect the five horses and cut them into pieces.
In the house...only Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were left.
A big bathtub, boiled warm water...
This is a luxury experience that I have never had before. Yes, one of them is a slave, and the other is in a poor household and cannot even afford a hot bath.
In summer, just bathe in the river. In winter, just don’t bathe. Firewood? Firewood is not cheap. If you have extra firewood, you sell it for money. How can you use it to boil water for bathing?
The two of them had strange feelings as they looked at the rich and powerful house. After washing it, they put on brocade clothes.
"These clothes are really comfortable..." Chen Sheng raised his arms and then his legs.
The light clothes were quite uncomfortable when clinging to the body, and they felt so delicate that Chen Sheng was a little worried that his rough hands would scratch the clothes.
"Fuck..."
Chen Sheng sat down on his knees upright, but he felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat. He habitually wanted to say some vulgar words, but was worried that Zhao Si would be displeased if others heard him.
"This set of clothes is enough to replace me several times..." Wu Guang's emotion expressed what Chen Sheng wanted to say.
This piece of clothing alone... was worth a lot of money. It was so expensive that Chen Sheng couldn't afford it even if he sold all the land in his family. It was so expensive that a mature slave like Wu Guang could buy several of them.
"This overwhelming wealth has really poured out on you and me." Chen Sheng rubbed his face with both hands, and his rough palms scratched his face so hard that Chen Sheng suddenly didn't realize it.
Things that only existed in fantasy before, neither of them expected that it would unfold like this.
"I never thought that you and I would be lucky enough to follow His Majesty on his expeditions across the world!" Wu Guang said.
"Yes... My lord, your hands and eyes are really all-powerful!"
Chen Sheng realized how powerful Zhao Si was when Zhao Si said the usual words to ask them to march with the convoy.
This is the first emperor's order to patrol the world!
Do you really think that anyone can follow him on a grand tour of the world?
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang originally thought that being accepted as a retainer by Zhao Si, they would soon leave Yangcheng and go to the distant Xianyang, the political center of the Qin Dynasty.
They never thought that Zhao Si could let them travel with the convoy.
Even if you want to add one more person to the team, it may not be that easy for the three ministers and nine ministers.
"Tell me, are the rumors among the people possible to be true?" Chen Sheng poked Wu Guang and said in a deep voice.
"What?" Wu Guang was stunned for a moment. There were so many rumors in the market, and he didn't know which one Chen Sheng was talking about.
"Wei Ji, a remnant of the Wei Kingdom, injured my lord. His Majesty was furious because of this and went on a killing spree in Dongjun. I heard that there were thousands of people beheaded in Dongjun alone. The funeral procession lasted for a whole month. Dongjun The county's prisons are not even enough..." Chen Sheng's eyes were filled with emotion and a bit of pride.
He took over very quickly.
In just an hour, Young Master Ji became a remnant of the Wei Kingdom, the King of Qin became his Majesty, and the lackey of the King of Qin became the lord.
Even Chen Sheng was somewhat proud of Zhao Si's closeness to the king.
"This... is not impossible." Wu Guang said.
"I heard from your lord that it seems that your lord has not invited guests before?"
"Then you and I are our first guests in the lord's house!"
A little nervous, but very excited.
"Hey, hey, how come this good thing happened to me?"
Wu Guang still shook his head sensibly and said, "Ask for what you get... It's not necessary."
"No matter what, I said, Nai Gong only needs to be rich for one day. This clothes alone is enough to buy me a few lives. If you wear more clothes, you will earn more! I am not afraid of death!" A trace of cruelty flashed in Chen Sheng's eyes. .
How could he not be mentally prepared?
However, as long as Zhao Si is willing to give him the wealth he dreams of, that is enough!
He is very rational, and he knows that in the face of overwhelming wealth, all he can exchange is a good head.
What Zhao Si has given now far exceeds the value of his life. Everything has a clear price tag!
At the very least, Zhao Si was not arrogant or arrogant.
This king's close minister next to the First Emperor, a big shot they couldn't even imagine, was really approachable.
He would even personally prepare a change of clothes for them, and consider letting them pack things at home and take care of the funeral.
The respect he received from Zhao Si was far more than the respect he received from the nobles big and small he met.
On this basis, Zhao Si also gave him a way to become rich and prosperous.
Chen Sheng knew that his life was not that expensive. At least, it was not that expensive now.
"Please step down and eat..."
While the two were chatting, the door knocked and a minister came in with food in his hands.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were stunned again.
They don't have lunch. Even the local nobles in Yangcheng actually eat two meals a day.
"It's not even meal time yet..." Chen Sheng asked.
"The master always has three meals a day, so he sent someone to prepare this because he thought you two hadn't eaten yet."
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang hurriedly thanked him, acting very flattered and respectful.
The sky-high wealth is right in front of them, and they are really afraid that they will be kicked out of the house by Zhao Si if they don't perform well.
On the other side, in the palace.
Li Si was reporting to the First Emperor on the specific government affairs in Yangcheng.
The official administration in Yangcheng is considered normal. After all, it is not that far from Guanzhong. The official in Dongjun has a corpse and a plain meal.
Except for some normal land annexation and banditry, there are no special situations in Yangcheng.
This is the transportation hub of the Central Plains, and it is a place that Daqin focuses on. This performance is acceptable.
If nothing else happens, after the investigation, the First Emperor's journey will continue.
As for Zhao Si, while handling the official documents decently, he began to think about how to arrange Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
After entering the Qin Dynasty, this was the first time that Zhao Si supported his disciples. Suddenly, he didn't know how to use it?
Moreover, both of them have not been tempered yet. Although they have talents, whether they need to be cultivated is also a question. Zhao Si finally decided to ask Li Si for advice.
"Li Xiang... I have a question." Zhao Si leaned over and asked.
Li Si raised his head and closed the bamboo slip: "What's the matter?"
"Is there any supporter in Xiang Li's house?" Zhao Si asked softly.
"Yes, but not many. There are only about twenty people in total." Li Si nodded.
"You haven't opened your house yet, are you planning to accept guests?" Li Si asked.
"Well, we found two good talents. Can Prime Minister Li explain how to support these disciples?" Zhao Si asked.
Li Si rubbed his brows and found that this thing was really not that easy to explain.
After pondering for a moment, he began a long speech to popularize the keeper support system of this era for Zhao Si, a novice.
Under Li Si's explanation in simple terms, Zhao Si finally understood.
"In other words, if the country is regarded as a large company, the numerous nobles who own fiefdoms and industries are its subsidiaries.
The so-called attracting customers means recruiting talents for my use.
The so-called support is actually salary, not free food and drink to support. "
Zhao Si finally understood. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the popularity of supporting diners was essentially due to demand.
The taxi class with no industrial background needs a job.
Nobles who own certain industries or even fiefdoms need talents to manage their fiefdoms and manage their property.
This is also the main reason why the style of retainers was prevalent during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. As the Qin State unified the world, there were no real nobility in the world, and the Shiqing Shilu system was abolished...
Therefore, the nobles' demand for retainers has been greatly reduced. There are not so many industries that require talent management. Not everyone has the ambition to be a talent reserve without asking for anything in return.
For example, Li Si...the dignified left prime minister of Qin Dynasty only had more than 20 followers, Liao Liao.
It's not that Li Si can't support too many customers, but that his property only needs more than 20 customers to manage. In the past, the great nobles had administrative power, but now the administrative power is controlled by the Qin government. How can there be such a situation? How many positions are there to accommodate hangers-on?
"No wonder the retainer system disappeared during the Han Dynasty and turned into something nondescript like a benefactor..."
"It's no wonder that all the scholars in the world have been suffering from Qin for a long time..."
"Essentially speaking, the Qin State unified the world, but they lost their jobs and their jobs were greatly reduced... As for the positions of officials... the nobles are probably more inclined to let their own families control them."
"This is a new round of power struggle. These jobs should have fallen to the broad taxi class, but now they have fallen into the hands of...the aristocracy."
