Through Time Chapter 17

Hef left in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Zhao Lang would backtrack.

In this era, it is simply a matter of course that men are preferred to women.

Now Zhao Lang not only helps to feed, but also gets paid.

This would simply be too profitable.

Zhao Long also felt that he had earned it.

What is the most valuable resource?

It’s people!

The new pictures he wants to paint later are to be drawn from this sheet of white paper!

Just as Zhao Lang was happy, Wang Cai looked worried.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Zhao Lang couldn’t help but ask.

“My lord, this is a deal we’re doing too badly.”

Wangcai said.

In his eyes, this was Zhao Lang buying servants.

But at this price, buying a servant of this age.

And having to hire a gentleman, it was a loss to his grandmother’s house.

Zhao Lang didn’t explain, he just smiled and said that

“Just do as I say.”

Wang Cai gritted his teeth at this time and said that

“My lord, in that case, will I be able to go into the school then?”

Zhao Lang’s eyes lit up and he said.

“It is best if you have this heart, and talk to all the other people in the manor, as long as they have the heart to enter the school, they can all enter the school after they have finished their things.”

“There are rewards for good learning.”

There are so few people who read in this era.

Every extra one is a boost.

“With Uncle Hef gone, you go ahead and take care of them.”

Zhao Lang handed the group of boys over to Wang Cai and found Uncle Fu himself.

He wanted a piece of land to grow potatoes.

There weren’t many potatoes now, so they couldn’t be fully spread out yet.

It is spring and the harvest will be ready in about three months.

If we catch up a bit more, we might be able to plant another wave.

That way there will be enough seeds.

By then the eight hundred acres of fields will be full of potatoes.

Although there is no chemical fertiliser or anything like that in Da Qin, let’s go by the minimum yield of a thousand kilograms per mu.

That’s still eight hundred thousand jins!

In terms of Great Qin, it was already an astronomical figure.

The process of finding Uncle Fu to ask for the fields went smoothly, and Zhao Lang expected Uncle Fu to ask a couple of questions.

After all, farming was still very important in Great Qin.

Just wait until the sky clears a little.

What he didn’t know was that when he had finished with Uncle Fu, a fast horse set off from the manor and sped off towards the capital.

The next time, Zhao Lang took Little Seven and Little Nine to direct the craftsmen to start making new furniture.

The quality of all the things at home was nothing to write home about, but Zhao Lang was really not used to it.

A table and chairs were a must, sitting on your knees was just too uncomfortable.

And the bells and whistles are nice to talk about.

But in reality, just take all the ingredients and throw them in for a messy cook.

Even the high school cafeteria that Zhao Lang hated the most in his previous life tasted countless times better than this.

It was a pity that he was not a science student, otherwise he would definitely have to build an iron pot out.

After working until late afternoon, Zhao Lang finally got a relatively simple pair of stools and a table.

The odd shape was a refreshing sight for the people on the farm.

People didn’t question it too much.

Originally, his own son was a demented child, and when he got better, he behaved differently from everyone else.

The head of the family didn’t even say anything, and they, the servants, were even less likely to talk about it.

It was just that Hef and the others hadn’t returned before dark, so it must have been too late.

Night fell, in the great Qin where there was little entertainment.

Zhao Long though was also eager to do the sports that everyone loved to do.

And Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu also looked like they were at the mercy of the king.

“Zhao Long ah Zhao Long, you can’t be a beast!”

Criticising himself severely, and then reciting the eight words of truth, the

“Harmony, Democracy, Wealth and Power, Friendship and Love.”

Only then did Zhao Lang suppress his evil thoughts.

Pulling the small hands of both Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu, he said in a serious manner that

“Let’s continue with the story of the monkey.”

The day went by in such a busy and fulfilling way.

The night was getting dark, but at that moment one of the palaces in the Xianyang Palace was still lit up.

Qin Shi Huang was looking at a letter made of cloth and silk.

Ever since he knew that his days were numbered, he had cherished his time more and more.

Not the slightest smile appeared on his face, and he whispered something under his breath that

“Taking in a lot of half-grown boys? Hmmm, and hiring a schoolteacher? Good lad, this is to form his own class.”

“It’s just that he’s a bit childish, what kind of talent can there be in this random collection of kids.”

After reading it, Qin Shi Huang put the cloth and silk away.

After a moment of contemplation, he shouted that

“Zhao Gao.”

Zhao Gao, who was waiting outside the door, immediately walked in.

“Has the one from the Kong family let up now?”

Qin Shi Huang said indifferently.

Zhao Gao returned and

“Your Majesty is talking about, Confucianism’s Kongjia?”

“This man has always had a grudge against my Great Qin, and although Your Majesty has forced him to remain in the capital, he has so far shown no willingness to pledge his loyalty to my Great Qin.”

Qin Shi Huang snorted coldly and said that

“A mere rotten Confucian, if there had not been someone like Chun Yu Yue in Confucianism as a doctor for me, I would have killed him long ago!” (There were seventy doctors in the Qin dynasty.)

(There were seventy doctors in the Qin dynasty.) “But it’s still wrong to go and teach children to read and write.”

“Go, tell him to go to Longer Zhuangzi and become a doctor, if he doesn’t go, I will burn his books! Pit his Confucianism!”

Zhao Gao did not reply, he knew that this was just Qin Shi Huang’s angry words.

Sure enough, after Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, he threw another crumpled piece of paper at him.

It was the same one he had taken from Zhao Lang earlier, and it still had his seal all over it, as well as the words Zhi Huo.

Qin Shi Huang said, with a touch of mischief

“If this old stubborn man still does not respond, you will give him this.”

“Hmph, a piece of paper from my son will fool the sons and daughters.”

Li Si’s small mind he naturally knew, but how could his Great Qin allow one family to dominate?

Although Zhao Gao was tempted to say, “Your son is still making you go round and round.

Of course, this could never be said, so Zhao Gao said in a loud voice.

“Your Majesty is wise!”

Early the next morning, Zhao Gao brought his men to the Kong residence.

Confucius A, a descendant of Confucius and the head of the Confucian family of the Great Qin, did not pretend to salute even in the face of such an important minister of the Great Qin as Zhao Gao, but simply bowed his hand.

Although Zhao Gao also hated it with a passion, he could only hold back his temper and said to

“His Majesty has said that since you, sir, do not wish to serve the Great Qin, you might as well go and teach.”

“There is a manor outside the King’s City that happens to be looking for a teacher.”

Kongjia laughed at this point and said

“Your Majesty wants to humiliate me in this way, but you are thinking wrong.”

“We are Confucian students, and it is our long-cherished wish to educate the world, but there are countless private schools in this city, so why do we need to go far away?”

Zhao Gao, having been taken for a ride, heard that the other party just did not want to go, and sneered.

“His Majesty also said that if you don’t go, you will burn his books! If you don’t go, you will be burned!

If he hadn’t said that, Kong Jia would have looked like he was on drugs, and shouted out a rebuke.

“I am a Confucian! What fear of life and death!”

“Your Majesty can execute me right now! And see what the world will say!”

“You!”

Zhao Gao’s face turned red, but he quickly suppressed it and took out the piece of paper from his pocket.

“This is from His Majesty.”

Kongjia took it with an arrogant expression.

As soon as it was in his hand, his expression changed slightly.

When he saw the seal and the words on it again, his face changed even more.

Changing his previous arrogance, he walked up to Zhao Gao and asked sharply.

“Who made this? How much did it cost? And how does this seal work! ”

“I want to see His Majesty!”

Looking at Kong A’s face full of eagerness.

Zhao Gao’s heart was as soothing as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, and he laughed out loud, saying

“His Majesty has said that you want to know! Hmph, go teach!”

And walked out with his head held high!
