Lu Buwei is trying to show his knowledgeable and talented side today and win Zhao Ji's favor. However, the appearance of Qin Yiren made him farther and farther away from this goal, and he was extremely unhappy.

He knew everything about Qin Yiren. Qin Yiren is really good at playing Qin Zheng. If he was allowed to show it, he would have no chance. Once the two of them are stuck together, God knows what will happen?

Lu Buwei was about to stop him, but Zhao Ji smiled very happily, and told the maid, "Qin Zheng."

The maid responded and floated away like a butterfly. Lu Buwei sighed only to his heart.

Qin Yiren was extremely satisfied with Zhao Ji's reaction. He raised his chin provocatively at Lu Buwei and asked with a smile: "Zhao Ji, why do you like Qin Zheng?"

They no longer called the girl, but called Zhao Ji, and their relationship suddenly got closer.

"I am from Zhao Qin." Zhao Ji answered frankly.

"Zhao Qinren?" Qin Yiren was very surprised, with his eyes wide open and laughed: "I really didn't expect that we were the same roots and the same origin, and we were lucky to meet."

"Hehe!" Zhao Ji smiled sweetly.

Lu Buwei saw it and wanted to kick Qin Yiren away, and he replaced him.

The Qin tribe was originally a nomadic people in the Longxi River Valley (now the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau). Because this tribe is good at herding horses and can raise excellent horses, the Zhou emperor ordered the Qin tribe to pay tribute horses.

In order to slander Qin Shihuang, later generations spread rumors that Qin Shihuang's ancestors raised horses for the Zhou emperor and had a low background.

In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, King You of Zhou "played with the princes in the beacons", which made the heavens angry and resentful. Rong Di attacked Haojing and destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty. The prince at that time, and later King Ping of Zhou asked for help everywhere and brought reinforcements everywhere. The great vassal states of Jin and Qi ignored him. King Ping of Zhou was desperate and came to the Qin tribe and asked the Qin tribe to send troops.

At that time, Duke Xiang of Qin, the leader of the Qin tribe, led 50,000 troops straight into Guanzhong, defeated Rongdi and recovered Haojing.

However, the palace in Haojing had been burned by Rongdi. King Ping of Zhou thought that the palace in Luoyang was intact, so he moved the capital to Luoyang and granted Qifeng and other old Western Zhou lands to the Qin tribe.

The Qin tribe migrated from the Longxi River Valley to Guanzhong. During the migration process, they were attacked by the surrounding nomadic peoples, and their tribes were dispersed. Some of them fell into Yan State, called "Northern Qin people"; some fell into Zhao State, called "Zhao Qin people".

With most of the people entering Guanzhong and the tribes left behind in the ancestral land of Longxi River Valley, the Qin tribe is now divided into four parts.

Whether it is the majority of people entering Guanzhong, the Qin people who stayed behind the ancestral land, the Qin people in Zhao, and the Qin people in Yan and Qin people, they are all Qin tribes and belong to the same root and origin.

This is another common point. Of course, Qin Yiren would not miss such a good opportunity to get close to him and smiled very kindly.

"Hehe!" Zhao Ji smiled happily. After all, blood is thicker than water, and they are of the same root and she is also happy.

"It's really damn!" Lu Buwei heard it in his ears and was angry in his heart. The more common topics Zhao Ji and Qin Yiren talked about, the more unfavorable it was for him. He turned his mind and thought secretly: "You have to find a way." His eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a way and said: "Today, thanks to all the talents who are not abandoned and come to participate in the debate. Lu Buqi, let's talk about a question first."

"Mr. Lu is very talented, I admire him."

"Mr. Lu's great opinions must have made me suddenly realize."

The scholar came to fight against Lu Buwei's gold, and he was very interested and praised him loudly, as if the merchant Lu Buwei was a famous scholar in the world.

Qin Yiren saw it and smiled in his heart: "I came here today to discuss the battle. If I want to become famous, I must participate in the debate. Let me see what amazing arguments you, Lu Buwei, have?"

Zhao Ji blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Lu Buwei, quite interested.

Zhao Xiong and Zhao Lie also wanted to see what Lu Buwei had, so they opened their eyes wide.

Lu Buwei took everyone's reactions in his eyes, which was very excited, especially Zhao Ji was interested, which made him excited, and he raised his throat and said, "Everyone in the world said that merchants are pursuing profits, so it is wrong. Merchants are righteous!"

"The merchants seek justice?" A sound of surprise sounded.

Everyone knows that merchants cannot get up early without profit, pursue profits, and are greedy. His argument is different. The scholars are very curious. Someone asked, "Sir, how can this question be solved?"

"There are markets for merchants but no business, so that the world can be connected with wealth." Lu Buwei began to clarify his thesis and said, "If there are no merchants in the world, how can there be a ze deer in Handan? All kinds of delicious food and millions of delicacies gather in Hufeng winery? This is righteousness, the great righteousness of benefiting the country!"

"Okay!" The scholars came to make fun of it. Even if Lu Buwei's topic was bad, they would applaud. Not to mention, Lu Buwei's topic was indeed unique.

"Businessmen also have the meaning of benefiting the people!" Lu Buwei stretched out his index finger with his right hand and said strongly: "Anyone who is a merchant must hire servants, craftsmen, coachmen, their food, clothing, housing and transportation, and their family's livelihoods. If there are no merchants, the people and the common people, their livelihoods will be more difficult."

In modern terms, his words mean that businessmen can provide employment opportunities, allowing ordinary people to increase their incomes and live a better life.

"This profitable businessman is quite politically economical." Qin Yiren was quite surprised. He never expected that Lu Buwei, a big profitable businessman, had such amazing insights two thousand years ago.

This kind of cognition is incomparable to modern economics, but this simple cognition appeared two thousand years ago, which is valuable.

"Okay! Pick!" The scholar made up his fun for the sake of gold and cheered loudly.

For a moment, the sound of the gaze was astonishing as thunder.

"We are willing to accept the disadvantage." The scholars simply gave in.

"Yeah." Lu Buwei was quite content with this, and he raised his chin provocatively at Qin Yiren. After eating Qin Yiren so many times today, he finally got back to the venue: "Young Master Yiren, what do you think?"

"No need to force it." Yue Ji whispered in Qin Yiren's ear, reminding him not to show off.

Lu Buwei's argument is indeed difficult to reach. Zhao Ji was worried about Qin Yiren, and this was a kind intention.

Lu Buwei saw it and smiled contemptuously, thinking that Qin Yiren could not refute him no matter how hard he was, he would definitely be suppressed by him.

"It's a bullshit!" However, just as Lu Buwei was proud, Qin Yiren swears loudly.

"Shut up!" Lu Buwei's argument was really novel, and he was superior. He was very content with his complacent. He was even scolded by Qin Yiren as inferior to bullshit. He was angry, his eyes rolled, and his brilliance flashed, and he shouted: "Qin Yiren, do you dare to argue with the battle?"

"Why don't you dare?" Qin Yiren smiled softly and said, "How can merchants make a profit for the country? Merchants have markets but not, freight from one place to another, buy high and sell, and make a lot of profit from it. Did merchants make a thing? Did they produce a grain of rice? Did they weave a brocade?"

"Okay! Cai!" Qin Yiren said nothing, and there was a loud shout.

The evaluations in the Warring States Period were divided into three levels. First, the comments were not given, which was the worst; second, the praise was not applauded, which was the middle; third, the praise was very pleasant, which was the best.

Qin Yiren's debate was exactly what merchants wanted. Merchants did not make goods, but just transported them from one place to another, earning the difference from them, which was not ashamed of others.

If it were in modern society, there would be many ways to refute it, but this was in the Warring States Period. According to the cognition of the ancients, this was a insightful view.

Zhao Ji blinked her bright and charming eyes and stared at Qin Yiren, her eyes shining brightly.

Lu Buwei knew that the situation was not good, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only stare at him.

"How can merchants benefit the people?" Qin Yiren then retorted, saying: "Marriors exploit servants, craftsmen, and coachmen in every way. If they do not agree, they will be bullied and will make plans for their family members. They dare not let you exploit them."

In modern society, strong and rich people always have countless ways to deal with the weak working class, which is still under the circumstances of legal protection; in the Warring States Period, there was no law to protect the weak, and the suppression was even more shocking.

"Okay! Pick!"

"Okay! Pick!"

The cheers resounded throughout the world, shaking the ground. Many of these scholars were from poor backgrounds. They knew very well how reasonable what Qin Yiren said, so they didn't care about leaving a face for Lu Buwei and shouted loudly.

Listening to the thunderous cheer, Lu Buwei's face was gloomy, and his reputation as "learning and talented" was completely out of reach.

"Okay! Cai!" What made him even more unhappy was that Zhao Ji actually tapped the white jade-like palm and cheered for Qin Yiren loudly.
