Chapter 4 On the stairs, pride talks about the world

Wang Yan returned to the central street, and saw that many people had lined up in a long line, and were "applying" porters. They don't seem to be in a hurry, drinking tea, talking and laughing, pointing and pointing, so comfortable!

"Hey, this group of scholars will really enjoy it!" He felt a little envious in his heart.

When the scholars saw Wang Yan coming back, they just looked at him, and did not say anything, but he slowly walked among the porters, and talked with them, and after about half an hour, they finally recruited the porters, and at this time, a scholar looked at the sun and said to a few companions, "It's time to go!" ”

Then, he shouted at Wang Yan's side: "Start work!" ”

The scholars finished settling the accounts and walked out of the tea stall, and several porters carried their luggage and bookbags and followed closely behind, Wang Yan also carried a piece of luggage, a bookbag, fortunately, these things are not very heavy.

After a while, the group arrived at the square in front of the Jiwen Hall, today, the square was full of people, gathered countless scholars, Wang Yan was surprised to find that there were also many porters behind the other scholars, however, they all looked a little tired, they should have come from a long distance.

What kind of logic is this, unscientific? Isn't it a debate among the scholars today, what does it mean to have so many porters?

He muttered to himself.

The scholars talked and laughed in the square, and occasionally met acquaintances, so they couldn't help but have a polite greeting and tell each other about the sorrow of parting. Wang Yan was not in the mood to listen to their complaints, he raised his head and carefully observed the Jiwen Hall in front of him, only to see the pavilions and pavilions, the corners of the cornices, a magnificent scene, the two tall vermilion doors in front of him were tightly closed, and there was a large plaque hanging on the door, on which were written three vermilion seal script characters~ Jiwen Hall, he was deeply shocked by the magnificent momentum of Jiwen Hall, if it wasn't for the plaque, he thought this was the palace of King Han.

Not long after, with a dull sound of "squeak, squeak", the two children in Tsing Yi pushed open the two gates, and then stood on both sides of the door, bowed deeply to the people in the square, and arched their hands: "Please!" When everyone heard this, they immediately rushed in, and there were already two white-clothed children standing on the road, each holding a wooden sign in their hands, and a few big characters in seal script were written on the wooden sign on the right~ Shizi, follow me! The wooden sign on the left also has a few big characters in seal script~ Porter, follow me!

Damn, isn't this a management model that can only be seen in the world I live in? Did it exist 2,000 years ago? It seems that the wisdom of the ancestors should not be underestimated!

Wang Yan was frightened for a while, and his reverence for his ancestors rose instantly!

Everyone immediately divided into two groups, the formation was completed, two boys led the two teams of people to the left and right, Wang Yan carefully watched the interior of the Jiwen Hall, only to see the winding paths through the secluded, carved beams and painted buildings, although it was autumn at this time, but the inside was green, as if it was another world, walked through many doorways, turned around, and the group arrived at a wide courtyard, just when they were dizzy, they saw that the white-clothed boy who led the way stopped, turned around, and said with a smile: "The house on both sides is your residence, During this time of debate, don't run around, I will come once in the morning, noon and evening, and if you have any questions, you can tell me. After saying that, he left the stunned crowd and slowly left.

Wang Yan came to a room, the room was small and exquisite, clean and tidy, just enough to accommodate six people who came together, they put the soldiers' luggage, book bags, and their own baggage on the shelves next to them, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep, this daytime, Wang Yan could not sleep, and he was a little thirsty at this time, so he walked out of the house, searched the whole yard, and did not find a well.

"Damn, what a broken place, there is not even a well, and neither does the child, who doesn't tell us the location of the well." He complained for a while, his throat was about to smoke, so he hurriedly searched around, and he didn't know how many doorways he had walked through, and when he came back to his senses, something embarrassing happened, he was lost!

"If you get lost, you can get lost, and then you can find the water first." He muttered to himself.

"Ahem", there was a sudden coughing sound in the small courtyard in front of him, and by feeling, he heard the voice of an old man, so he quickened his pace and walked into the courtyard, the courtyard was very quiet and quiet, and on the edge of the well, an old man with white hair, wide clothes, and a flute at his waist was pulling the rope with great difficulty, slowly pulling up the bucket from the well, not paying any attention to his arrival.

"Old man, I'll help you."

After Wang Yan finished speaking, he ran to the old man by the well, the old man turned around, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at him and said, "Okay, come, come." ”

The old man sat on the edge of the well, shook his head, and said, "It's old, it's useless, and you can't even pull up a bucket of water, by the way, young man, why are you here?" ”

"I ......" Wang Yan was speechless for a while, he ran around, got lost, and arrived here by mistake.

The old man saw that he was sweating profusely, his lips were white, and he was a little tired, and said with a smile: "I'm thirsty, let's look for water everywhere to drink." ”

He nodded, the old man immediately entered the house, took out a big wooden scoop, scooped up a scoop of water from the bucket, handed it to him, Wang Yan took the wooden scoop, drank it all, only felt that the coolness doubled, the heat disappeared, the old man laughed heartily a few times, then sat on a stone by the well, and asked, "Young man, are you here to participate in the debate of the scholars of the Jiwen Hall?" ”

"No, I'm the porter who carries the luggage and bookbags for the soldiers." He said calmly.

"Then you can't trespass here, the rules are very strict." The old man said happily.

"Yes, old man, I'll leave." With that, he immediately got up and prepared to leave the courtyard.

"Slow, since you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave, talk to my old man and relieve your boredom."

Wang Yan saw that the old man had no intention of driving him away, so he simply sat on the steps in front of the house, and pulled up with him, the two let out bursts of laughter from time to time, and the topics of conversation became wider and wider, and finally, they talked about the general trend of the world today, after all, this is a major issue to keep up with the current situation.

"Little brother, what do you think of today?"

For Wang Yan, a person who traveled back from the future, of course he knew that the Warring States would eventually become history, and the Qin State would eventually dominate the world, but the country was not long, after the death of Qin Shi Huang, the heroes rose together, and the Central Plains were chased, and finally, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, established the Western Han Dynasty and set the capital Chang'an, and the world gradually settled down.

He pondered for a moment, and said modestly: "I'm a porter, how can I know what the future will be, old man, you think this is good, what about me, just listen quietly on the sidelines, and see if your prediction is the same as the opinion of those scholars I met, how about it?" ”

The old man nodded, stroked his snow-white beard, and said worriedly: "In my old man's opinion, the disputes between the seven countries may continue endlessly, you see, the seven kingdoms of Qi, Chuyan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin have existed for hundreds of years, and the power between countries is also one and the other, although the attacks are continuous, and some countries have been hit hard, but they still survived tenaciously, it seems that no country has the ability to launch a war of annihilation. ”

Wang Yan didn't expect the old man in front of him to be so corrupt, and suddenly said: "Old man, otherwise, the general trend of the world, it will be united for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, since the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the seven kingdoms have been strife, the etiquette has collapsed, and the world has been divided for too long, therefore, the great reunification is bound to come, and I don't think this time will be too long." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, and said: "Little brother, yes and no, today, the theory of combining vertical and horizontal is still prevalent, and small countries can unite to resist the invasion of big countries, and there are many such examples in the past." ”

Wang Yan waved his hand, shook his head, and said: "Old man, you see, Su Qin, who advocated unity in the past, Sun Yan, the head of the rhinoceros, and Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, in the end, were not divided and disintegrated by the Qin State. ”

The old man was silent for a long time, his mood was a little depressed, Wang Yan saw this, and hurriedly said: "Old man, I just said casually, it doesn't count, what is the world like, where can I expect it as a small porter." ”

"No, you have a point." The old man's expression suddenly became serious.

The old man then asked, "Little brother, in your opinion, to whom will this world end up?" ”

"Hmm......" he deliberately dragged out his voice, and then said slowly: "This world, according to what the kid sees, will eventually return to the Qin State." ”

"Huh?" The old man exclaimed in surprise, almost fell off the stone, and after sitting firmly, he said coldly, "Why? Is it just because the Qin people are still martial and the Qin army is brave and invincible? ”

"No, the victory of a war does not depend entirely on the army, there are also factors such as the supply of grain and grass, the decision-making of the court, the support of the people, etc., isn't the battle of Qin Wei Hexi more than a hundred years ago an example?"

"Even so, but the Qin State is a country of tigers and wolves, and it is extremely barbaric, and all the countries of my Central Plains are all civilized countries, let me ask, how can barbarism defeat civilization?" The old man hurriedly retorted.

"No, no, no, what you said is not right, barbarism can also defeat civilization, but after defeating, it has to absorb the progressive things in civilization to promote its own development, otherwise, its demise will be in a moment,"

At this time, Wang Yan felt a little strange, it stands to reason that his views have been refuted, and anyone will be annoyed, but the old man in front of him, although his tone is constantly changing, he has been smiling, and there is no trace of anger on his face.

The old man said again: "Then according to you, why can the Qin State dominate the world?" ”

Wang Yan replied loudly: "The world has been in turmoil for too long, a country can end this situation, it is not achieved overnight, it often takes several generations, hundreds of years, to complete this great cause, Qin since filial piety, the monarchs of all dynasties, abide by the law of Shang Jun, work hard, the national strength is getting stronger and stronger, today, the other six countries, I am afraid are not the opponent of Qin." ”

Surprisingly, the old man did not refute, but said happily: "It seems that you value Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying very much?" ”

Wang Yan muttered in his heart, of course, did you read Jia Yi's "On the Passage of Qin" in vain? Hey, hey, what's that point of? Silly, right? Convinced, right? Can't speak, right?

He paused and said: "Well, Qin Xiaogong Yingquliang entrusted the entire Qin State to Shang Jun Wei Ying, the two monarchs and ministers treat each other with all sincerity and do not suspect each other, it can really be said that they are a pair of monarchs and ministers through the ages, and the kings of the six countries of the same era, who can do it?" ”

After speaking, he muttered again in his heart, old man, old man, have you ever seen the king of later generations kill ministers, ministers kill kings, that is called a bloody one! Uh, I'm ...... I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I've seen it in books.

The old man nodded, stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful!" ”

Dizzy! This old man can't be irritated and insane! I can't afford to bear this guilt! Wang Yan was confused, shocked and frightened.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and two blue-clothed boys walked in and bowed their hands and said, "Grandpa Cui, the hall owner invited you to come over, saying that there is something important to discuss!" ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go now, I'll go now." The old man got down from the stone and prepared to go away with them, when suddenly the old man turned around and said with a smile, "Little brother, you have spoken well, what a good thing you have said!" I've never seen a second person with such a big vision, by the way, what's your name? ”

"Old man, my name is Wang Yan, and my name is Yutian." He vaguely felt that the old man was not an idle and mediocre person.

"Wang Yan, good name, good name, I have something to do now, let's talk again when we come back."

"Okay, the juniors are waiting for you here."

The old man looked at the two children and said, "You leave one person behind, take care of this little brother, serve good wine and food, and don't be lazy." ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The two little boys replied in unison, and then, one led the old man out, and the other stayed in the courtyard to accompany him, the more Wang Yan thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he couldn't help asking: "Little boy, who is that old man?" ”

There was a hint of surprise in the child's eyes, and he exclaimed, "Oh my God, you're too lonely and unheard!" You don't even know the famous Cui Guang's predecessors! ”

Cui Guang? Isn't it the Huangshi Gong who gave Zhang Liang "Taigong Art of War"? Oh, he also has an identity, that is, the old man who tried Zhang Liang three times.

Wang Yan's heart swelled, and he suddenly remembered that Cui Guang was from Qi State, and hurriedly asked: "Little Tong, wouldn't the big man from Qi Guoji be the big man from the Qi State Academy?" ”

Xiao Tong looked at Wang Yan and nodded.

The more Wang Yan thought about it, the more wrong it became, wait! How could a great talent like Huang Shigong not even see the general trend that the world was about to be unified in the Qin State?

"Oops!" Wang Yan slapped his head, knowing that he had fallen for Huangshi Gong's anti-guest scheme, he didn't expect that he would get an axe once!
