Chapter 5 New Deal (1)

"Come to Handan to learn to walk, raise your feet and wave your hands lightly, and learn until you are ninety-nine, but you still can't walk to Handan!" Gan Luo sang a nursery rhyme, jumping, aiming at Zhao Gao who wanted to stop him, and swayed the small wooden stick in his hand intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhao Gao originally wanted to stop Gan Luo, but when he thought of the slaughter that he was hit because of him, he felt scared again. If he didn't stop, the King of Qin was discussing a big deal with Wei Liao and the others. If Gan Luo broke in, it would be a big deal. If he beat him up, the King of Qin was angry. It would be a big deal if he beat him up. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Gao went to Gan Luo and said, "Mr. Gan, please stay."

Ganluo blinked and said, "Zhao Gao, get out of here, I'm going to see the king."

"Mr. Gan doesn't know anything. The king was discussing a major event with Mr. Liaozi. No one was allowed to enter until the king summoned him." Zhao Gao moved out the Qin King to suppress Ganluo.

If it were someone else, this move would definitely be useful, but it would not be of any use for Ganluo. Ganluo rolled his eyes and rushed towards Zhao Gao with his right hand, and said mysteriously: "Mr. Zhao, do you know why I want to meet the king at this time?"

Zhao Gao didn't know about this question, and asked: "If Lord Gan has something to do to meet the king, please wait a moment and let me report it to you."

Zhao Gao was not fooled, Gan Luo blinked his eyes and had another idea and said, "Mr. Zhao, the Empress Dowager wants me to bring you one more time, put your ears in, come over, I'll tell you."

Ganluo is very popular with the empress dowager, and it is not impossible to bring a message to Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao put his ears in fear. Suddenly, his right ear hurts and it has fallen into Ganluo's small hand. Ganluo twists his mouth hard, and Zhao Gao opens his mouth and wants to scream. Unfortunately, he covers Ganluo with his left hand. Ganluo yells in Zhao Gao's ear, lets go of Zhao Gao, and steps into the house, leaving Zhao Gao in a daze outside.

Zhao Gao is considered a clever person, but when he meets Gan Luo, he always has his hands and feet, and he will inevitably suffer a small loss. With Zhao Gao's mind, although he will not immediately take revenge on Gan Luo, he will hold a grudge, but he has no idea of ​​taking revenge on Gan Luo at all, because he thinks Gan Luo is indeed cute, and teasing Gan Luo is like a play, which is very fun.

There were King Qin, Wei Liao, Li Si, and Wang Ao in the room, who were discussing major issues. As soon as Gan Luo came in, he stopped immediately and looked at Gan Luo. The King of Qin asked, "Gan Luo, you are not learning nursery rhymes from the Empress Dowager, what are you doing here?" It was a serious crime to break in without being summoned by the King of Qin. The King of Qin had no intention of asking for guilt, because he liked Gan Luo from the bottom of his heart.

Gan Luo jumped to the side of the Qin King and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that I have learned almost all the nursery rhymes today, so I don't need to learn it anymore."

Since returning to Xianyang, the empress dowager's health has become worse and worse, and he has no happiness all day long and is frowning. A palace maid accidentally told her about Gan Luo's mission to Zhao State at a young age and retrieving the five cities of Hejian without any effort. The empress dowager was very curious and told the King of Qin to meet this prodigy. The King of Qin ordered Gan Luo to go to the Queen Mother's place.

How could I know that the Empress Dowager liked Gan Luo so much as soon as she saw Gan Luo. She stayed by her side all day and told jokes and stories. The Empress Dowager, who had never had a smile on her face for ten days, now she was smiling from ear to ear every day. The King of Qin was a filial son and ordered Gan Luo to be with her side. The Empress Dowager treated Gan Luo like her biological son.

"Then you find a place to play by yourself." The King of Qin ordered.

Although the Ganluo people are small, they are far smarter than others. Logically, they will walk away immediately. But he had no intention of leaving. He said, "Your Majesty, there is no place to play. I want to hear your discussion on Mr. Zhou's political affairs. Is it OK?"

The King of Qin looked at Gan Luo in surprise and asked, "Mr. Zhou wrote a letter and few people know about it. I didn't tell you how you knew it?"

Gan Luo's little head turned aside and said, "This is not simple. Mr. Liaozi and the others are here, so they must be discussing major events. And the biggest thing now is the matter of Han. The matter of Han is governed by Mr. Zhou. Calculate the time, and Mr. Zhou's memorial is also here. You are naturally discussing Mr. Zhou's measures."

"Are you a little guy!" The King of Qin lit up Gan Luo's nose and said with a smile: "I didn't see that you are so delicate."

Ganluo looked up at King Qin and said, "Your Majesty, if you think they are too young, you won't tell them. Maybe they can still come up with ideas for you."

"Okay, okay, you can play first. If you have something to do, I will ask you for advice." The King of Qin patted Gan Luo's little face and said, "Zhao Gao, bring some food to the little kid. Take more, don't starve my young talent." After that, he was already joking.

Zhao Gao responded and went to get the food. Ganluo said, "Your Majesty, then I'll sing nursery rhymes." Without waiting for the King of Qin to speak, he jumped aside and hummed the nursery rhymes.

The King of Qin smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou mentioned the establishment of counties in Han, and I don't need to discuss this. Mr. Zhou also said that he would build a road, connecting Hangu Pass in the west, passing Xinzheng, and connecting Zhao territory in the east, which is also possible. If I want to take the world, I must first win Han. Now that Han has been destroyed, the next one should be Zhao. Although the country of Wuling of Zhao was defeated by Changping, it is still strong. To destroy Zhao, I, Qin, must do my best to succeed. A million troops swept eastward. There is too much logistics supply, and there is no road that can be used to meet the needs of the army. This is a far-sighted measure."

"Mr. Zhou has made great plans and has a long-term plan, and I admire it." Li Si had to admire it.

His words were exactly what Wei Liao and the others were going to say, nodding and complimenting.

The King of Qin changed his mind and said, "However, the road construction method mentioned by Mr. Zhou is too incredible. There is no need to send corvee labor, but to raise money from the people and use the power of the people to build this road. I think it is inappropriate."

Li Si followed the words of the King of Qin and said, "Mr. Zhou proposed this proposal with Sibaozhai as a model. Sibaozhai is profitable, so the merchants are naturally willing to pay for money, but where can there be money to make money in this road construction? Merchants will not pay for the construction of this road."

He was not flattering. Zhou Chong's suggestions were too bold and novel, and it was really difficult for them to accept them. Even the King of Qin, who was known for appreciating new things, was a little unsure, which shows the difficulty.

Wei Liao thought for a moment and said, "If Mr. Zhou's proposal can be used, there is no need for Daqin to pay a penny or a little effort, but there is a top-notch road available. This is a good thing. However, it may be difficult to achieve."

If Wei Liao didn't support him, the King of Qin had no worries and said, "Then you don't need this proposal, it's better to build it with the civilians."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gan Luo, who was singing a nursery rhyme, jumped over and said, "Your Majesty, it's not right, you're wrong."

There is no other person who dares to accuse the King of Qin of his faults in person and is so direct than Gan Luo. Even if Zhou Chong is highly appreciated by the King of Qin and can accept his suggestions, it is Zhou Chong's words that are very skillful.

"Oh, where was the wrong one?" King Qin asked curiously.

Gan Luo tilted his head and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou's proposal is beneficial but not harmful. If the king misses this proposal, it will definitely add an endless burden to the people."
