Wei Yang did something that seemed very stupid. He asked someone to erect a giant tree with a thickness of a bucket and a length of one meter at the gate of Liyang. It weighs about 200 kilograms. It just happened to be carried by a strong man, but it would be very difficult. Then he posted a notice at the gate of the city, and if someone carried this tree from the south of the city to the north of the city, he would reward ten gold!

This incident became the biggest joke in Liyang City. Who is Wei Yang? No one has ever heard of it. It is said that he was a scholar from Wei State. He was just named Zuo Shuzheng by the emperor. That's it. How could the chief of our Qin country be so frivolous? Is it interesting to use this method to joke about it?

The Qin people's idea was simple and simple. In their opinion, only meaningful things would be valuable. A wealthy family wanted to hire people to farm land and then give wages to food. This is meaningful. But this Zuo Shuchang asked us to carry the wood from the south of the city to the north of the city? There was no wall in the north of the city. What should we do? A piece of wood itself is not worth ten gold. I will give money after walking back and forth in the city? Don't be stupid, this is why the nobles are happy about us. If they really want to carry the wood, they will not even be laughed at as fools. I am smart like a monkey. I will believe in this Zuo Shuchang who fell from the sky? Bullshit!

It was a lot of people who watched it, but they just wanted to see which fool was carrying the wood. Everyone was ready to laugh at him.

Wei Yang sat in the viewing building at the top of the city, watching the officials who showed their voices hoarsely read the notice over and over again, but every time he read it, it would cause loud ridicule from the people.

"Let's go down, we won't believe in the official family! We won't believe in Zuo Shuchang. The Wei people came to our old Qin to become officials. This was originally a strange thing. Now we still want to joke with us. Are you fools when you are old Qin?"

"That's right! Ten gold? This wood is probably not worth even a gold. Will it become gold in Chu when it is carried to the north of the city? Is it easy for us little people to work and farm for a year to barely make a living, and how can we have extra energy to be laughed at by the nobles? Don't believe it, Zuo Shuchang is deceiving everyone!"

"Yes, don't believe him!"

"Are you really a bad guy! Come!"

Wei Yang was furious. He had long heard that Qin people were rebellious in nature. To put it nicely, they were passionate and aggressive. To put it nicely, they were a group of tough people. What was the announcement of the city gate? This was the voice of the national government. These people dared to question and accuse them? It was really outrageous! Just as people were about to arrest the people who were leading the trouble, they were held down by Jing Jian beside him: "This is Lao Qin, not Qilu, which is full of rituals and music in your eyes. At this moment, there are still many ministers in the court sent by the ministers in the court. If you have any mistakes, someone will report to you in less than a stick of incense. Do you believe it? We are here to establish a faith. It is not to establish authority, why are you anxious?"

Jing Jian was actually very depressed. He was Ying Quliang's favorite minister. This time, all the civil and military officials of the court had to oppose Wei Yang. In order to show his support, Ying Quliang asked him to work part-time as the deputy general of the "Zuo Shuchangfu". It was considered to support Wei Yang. Since it was the command of the emperor, he naturally had to truly support Wei Yang, but he could also imagine how many important officials in the court would offend in the future.

"Well... the person comes, add the reward to fifty gold. Tell these citizens that as long as they carry this huge tree to the north of the city, the chief of the Imperial Palace will immediately bounty!"

"promise!"

The reward was increased from ten gold to fifty gold, and the laughter in front of the city gate not only did not disappear because of this. Instead, it became even louder. Many people had already started to shake their heads and leave. The impetuous people became more and more excited. They said that ten gold was a fraud, and fifty gold was even more fraudulent. If a villain got the fifty gold, he would immediately become a wealthy little landlord. Do you think it could be real? Everyone shook their heads one after another, and they were about to disperse.

"Wait, everyone, I am the new Zuo Shuzheng of Old Qin. Wei Yang who issued this notice! You may have some misunderstandings. Wei Yang came here to establish a letter, not to make jokes about everyone. Now the reward is increased to a hundred gold coins! Could it be that I, Old Qin, have no heroes who can carry the giant tree to the north gate?"

Wei Yang personally climbed the temporary platform and pointed to the wood standing under the stage, looking sincere, not like he was lying.

"I'd like to give it a try!"

A young man jumped onto the wooden platform, took off his shirt, revealing the tendon flesh that was imprisoned by half of his muscles.

"What a fool!"

"You can give me a hundred gold if you carry a piece of wood? Can you believe this? Be careful that you are joking by the government and lose my face."

"Why don't you come down quickly? Everyone doesn't go. It's embarrassing to see what you can do!"

This is true for humans. If everyone doesn’t try, that is, you, I, everyone, the first thing to try is alternative. If a young man is deceived, he will be ridiculed by everyone. If he successfully gets a bounty, he will be envied by everyone. Everyone hopes that he will dispel the idea of ​​trying. Isn’t it great for everyone to be the same? You just have to show off?

"What's this brother's name? I want to record your name and announce it to the entire Qin State after you succeed."

"My name is Mu Jing. I come from the far west, from a distant country. So don't worry that I will embarrass Lao Qin, because I am not a Qin person."

The young man walked to the standing wood with a smile, spitted into his palms, held the middle of the giant tree with both hands, kicked the wood root with his right foot, and heard a "bang" sound, and the giant tree slowly fell on his shoulder; he stabilized the giant tree with both hands, and walked very steadily under his feet, stepping down from the high platform step by step, heading towards the north of the city, and Qin soldiers were clearing the way for him, and at the same time monitoring whether he had really reached the north of the city.

There was an appointment for a meal. The young man walked back from the north gate and had a red cloth flower on his chest. This was the proof given to him by the Qin soldiers who were waiting at the north gate after verifying the giant tree. Wei Yang laughed and immediately ordered the reward. When he saw the yellow orange gold, the Qin people gathered in front of the city gate were immediately in agitation. Most of them beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting that they were not the first to carry the wood.

"Mu Jing thanked Zuo Shuchang for the reward, but Mu Jing was a Western student who admired Chinese civilization, but had no way to study. Fortunately, the Bai Family School School was taken in and gained a lot in class. Bai Family School School School was my teacher, and like my father. When he learned that Bai Zuo had better deeds from the school, Mu Jing felt admiration in his heart, hoping to donate the reward of 100 gold to the school. It also shows Mu Jing's heart."

"Oh? OK, OK!"

When he heard that Mu Jing was actually a student of the Bai Family Academy, Wei Yang was even more happy and immediately ordered someone to bring a horse, let Mu Jing wear flowers and drive horses, and escort them all the way back to the Bai Family Academy. This made him most satisfied with the people and made Bai Dong famous.

"The city gate is built with a wooden house, aiming to win the trust. Wei Yang is a smart person. And his luck is so good. A boy carrying wood came. He was still a student of the Bai Family School Museum? Come and find out the origin of this Mu Jing. The Bai Family School Museum is not in Liyang City. If he often lingers in the city, with the talent of this boy and the background of the Bai Family School, he would definitely not be an unknown person..."

In the restaurant private room at the south gate of Liyang, Yue Ji sat opposite a man wearing a hat. The man was very tall, but his face was blocked by the black veil hanging from the edge of the hat. He couldn't see his true appearance clearly and looked extremely mysterious. There were four men in black with strong faces beside him, either in front of the window or by the door, all of whom were focused, and occasionally his ears trembled, as if he was listening and alert. He looked like a skilled bodyguard.

"No need to inquire specifically. As my brother told me, all the personnel related to the Bai family were under the investigation of Yue Ji, and naturally they also included the students in the Bai family's elementary school. This Mu Jing claimed that he came from the extreme western country and was proficient in Chinese language. He was also a studious young man. He entered the Bai family's elementary school for study half a month ago. He seemed to be curious about everything about Lao Qin. Every day before entering school, he would get up early and come to Liyangguan City..."

"Oh? What did he do in Liyangguan City?"

"I didn't see him buying and selling things, but I just like to walk around and see it. It seems that every shop will attract him; especially the Wenhua Supermarket in Bai's family, which is a must-visit every day, and sometimes I buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones. It is said that I am practicing the official script created by Bai Dong."

"It's a person who is interested... In this way, it shouldn't be that Bai Dong specially arranged for him to help Wei Yang. He just happened to the right time?"

"It should be so. My younger sister is very surprised. How could my brother care about a little person so much for me as the head of the Fan family? And seeing that he was just a coincidence, my brother seemed very satisfied. Could it be that my brother didn't like Bai Dong and Wei Yang's friendship? Yes, the people of the Legal family have always been prejudiced against merchants. Wei Yang is now named Zuo Shuchang by Qin Jun. It is said that the Zuo Shuchang Mansion will be the center of reform in the future. If he reforms, he will probably suppress business, which will be very detrimental to my Fan family."

"Haha, although Yue Ji, you are smart, you still misread it. Brother Wei is not worried about Wei Yang's suppression of business, but is afraid that he would be affected by Bai Dong and his actions to suppress business will be cancelled. In this way, it will be very unfavorable to my Fan family."

"Oh, is it good for my Fan family to suppress business? My little sister is stupid, so please ask your brother for advice."

"Actually, the reason is very simple. Wei Yang is not a fool. How can he not see the benefits of commercial exchange? He wants to suppress business, because the old Qin households are insufficient and lack of manpower, and he is worried that everyone will go to business and return farmland to waste land. Therefore, his suppression of business is only to suppress farmers' business, rather than merchants and foreign businessmen! The ancestors of the Fan family established that 'millennial business road'. My Fan family worked hard in Lao Qin and the five Shandong countries to build a foundation. The people used by my family in Lao Qin are all foreign businessmen, and are still afraid that Wei Yang will suppress businessmen? Therefore, if Wei Yang suppresses businessmen, it will be detrimental to the old Qin merchants, but it will be of great benefit to the Fan family..."

"Although the Bai family's business is spread all over the world, even the people of Chu are selling porcelain fired by his family, his foundation is still in Qin. If Wei Yang suppressed Shang, my Fan family will become more important to him. My brother has always had a headache about how to recognize him and his son. This is a great opportunity?"

Yue Ji thought for a while and suddenly giggled. She was not a stupid person after all.

The mysterious man laughed and raised his hand to take off the hat on his head: "There are so many children of the Fan family. Only the younger sister can know my thoughts! Yes, for my Fan family's plan, the Fan family should fully support Wei Yang! I just want him to value agriculture and suppress commerce. The more fierce the methods are, the more suitable my wishes..."
