"Brother Zhou, this is Lord Wei." As soon as he entered the living room, Zeng Yao introduced to Zhou Chong.

Zhou Chong looked at it and found that in addition to Zeng Yao's father Zeng Shufa, there was also a middle-aged man of medium height in the living room. The middle-aged man was not wearing official uniforms, but wearing casual clothes and drinking tea. After hearing this, he put down the teacup and raised his head. Zhou Chong saw that he had a thin face and flexible eyes, giving people the impression of two words: capable.

County Magistrate Wei stood up, folded his fists and said, "Wei Qing has met Master Zhou."

The true correct establishment of the county system was established after Qin Shihuang unified China and adopted Li Si's suggestion. However, its appearance occurred in the Spring and Autumn Period, and by the Warring States Period, it had already appeared in large numbers. The Qin people went further than the six Shandong countries in this regard.

His words were very kind, without annoying official airs and official accent. Zhou Chong had never met the Qin officials. He thought that the officials of Qin must be very fierce, otherwise Qin would not be called the tiger and wolf country. He did not expect that he was so kind, and he hurriedly replied, "Zhou Chong, a grass-roots man, has seen Lord Wei."

"Master Zhou, you are polite." Wei Qing made a polite approach, pointed to the stool beside him and said, "Master Zhou, please sit down."

Zhou Chong said in a polite way: "Mr. Xie Wei. My nephew has met his uncle."

Zeng Shu sent back the gift and said, "Please leave the gift. Nie Nie, sit down quickly." He handed a cup of tea in front of Zhou Chong and said, "Neighbor, you are busy and very hard. Drink a little tea to moisten your throat."

Historians cannot explain the origin of tea. Modern archaeology believes that it has existed for at least 7,000 years. It should have been in the land of Bashu. It was not until King Huiwen of Qin annexed the land of Bashu that it gradually began to spread from Bashu.

Zhou Chong thanked him and took a sip of tea. Zeng Shufa stood up and said, "Nephew, Lord Wei has something to talk to you. You talk first, I'll go and deal with something." He walked away on an excuse so that Zhou Chong and Wei Qing could talk.

County Magistrate Wei did not understand the truth and smiled and said, "Don't avoid suspicion, this matter is indispensable. Mr. Zeng. Mr. Zeng, please sit down."

Zhou Chong asked very skillfully: "Your High School is busy with official duties, and you have to work hard every day. You are extremely guilty of being a civilian. How dare you ask what you are important?"

Wei Qing smiled and said, "Master Zhou has said it too much. Although there are some affairs in the small county, it is not enough to deal with every day. If it is a daily life, how big is it?"

This was a joke saying, Zhou Chong and the others smiled slightly, and the atmosphere became much more lively. Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Sir, I'm too humble."

"Xiaoxian is here this time to discuss something with Master Zhou." Wei Qing said straight away.

Zhou Chong replied: "Please tell me, Mr. Wei, as long as you can do it, Zhou Chong will do his best."

This was just a polite word. Wei Qing was very happy when he heard this and nodded, "Master Zhou will definitely be able to do it. With Master Zhou's words, Xiaoxian will feel relieved."

Zeng Yao, with a straight heart, went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Wei hasn't said what it is."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zeng is quick to speak." Wei Qing stroked the teacup and said, "Xiaoxian has long heard of your oil mill, and has tasted the oil you produce and the tofu you make is indeed the best. Master Zhou can only make such a good thing."

Zhou Chong felt very ashamed and thought to himself: "In the era when I came, who in the countryside could not make tofu? Isn't it easier to produce oil? According to what you said, you have become a smart person and can run for an academician of the Academy of Sciences?"

Wei Qing continued: "Xiaoxian means to invite Master Zhou to attend the annual slack skills conference. According to Xiaoxian's view, Master Zhou's method will definitely be able to make a splash at the three-day conference."

According to the laws of the Qin State, the people must do their best to farm and live in the same farmland and not be lazy, otherwise they will be punished. However, they can rest for three days during the slack season, similar to the market activities held in the spring of the Jiangnan area. They can buy and sell things, or do juggle, and even if they have a skill, they can show off their skills.

The purpose of the Qin State to set up this conference was to give the people some rest and entertainment. Therefore, there was no restriction on skills. Anything that was beyond the reach of people could be shown, whether it was good or bad. The infamous Lao Ai "spread" at such conferences, inserting his thing into a wheel made of paulownia wood. The wheels turned and the thing was intact, and the viewer laughed. This incident made Qin Shihuang's mother know about it, and she satirized Lu Buwei. After Lu Buwei's arrangement, Lao Ai entered the harem, had an affair with Qin Shihuang's mother, gave birth to two sons, and finally rebelled and was destroyed by the Qin Shihuang clan.

"I'm a matter of justice and openness, not something that Lao Ai can compare." Zhou Chong was amused in his heart and said, "My dear Lord, Zhou Chong feels heart-warming, but this matter is quite complicated and it is difficult for Caomin to make up his mind. He still has to discuss with Uncle Zeng and Brother Zeng to decide. Please forgive me."

Wei Qing was very easy to speak and said, "It should be so true, and it should be so true. Xiaoxian will take his leave first. You will discuss it and give Xiaoxian a reply, so Xiaoxian can make arrangements."

His past skills were just entertainment. If Zhou Chongshiwo’s skills were made from oil and boiling water and snowflakes, there would be no sensation when he appeared at the conference? In that case, he, the county magistrate, would benefit from it. It would be impossible to get a good governance and outstanding political achievements to be promoted to the next level. It is because he is so enthusiastic.

If an official does not want to climb up, there must be such people, but only geniuses know about them. This is also human nature. Although Zhou Chong was a little disdainful, he could still understand and smiled and said, "Zhou Chong is so grateful to him. Please sit for a moment and let us discuss it and reply to him." This matter is actually very simple. After a brief discussion, there will be a result. Wei Qing doesn't need to go back and wait for news.

"Since this is the case, the small county will stay for a moment." Wei Qing smiled and said, "Zeng Mansion is built against the mountain, with beautiful scenery, which makes people nostalgic. The small county will experience it." Without waiting for Zeng Shu to speak, he complained and stepped out first. Although this person was enthusiastic about promotion, he was also a person with knowledge and tactfulness, so he made excuses to avoid it.

Zeng Shu asked, "What do you think of a good nephew?"

Zhou Chong replied: "My nephew is still not sure about this, so I would like to ask the uncle and brother Zeng to make the decision."

"Yaoer, what do you think?" Zeng Shufa asked Zeng Yao for his opinion.

Zeng Yao thought for a moment and said, "It's good, we can occupy a large area, send more people to use it, produce more oil, and make more tofu. We can make people taste it for free, so that our sales will increase greatly. Dad, this is a good opportunity."

"He is really a bit business-minded and wants to advertise." Zhou Chong was amused in his heart.

Zeng Shu nodded in agreement: "Yaoer's words are reasonable, what do you think of a virtuous nephew?"

Zhou Chong agreed with Zeng Yao's idea and said, "I have no objection to my nephew. But how should I deal with this matter?" Zhou Chong knew an eternal truth: if the government participates, the government will get benefits! This is applicable in both ancient and modern times. Since the Magistrate Wei has participated, if he does not give him benefits, if he holds a grudge and makes things difficult for them, it will be difficult to deal with.

It’s not that Zhou Chong is afraid of the powerful, but that the businessman does not fight with the officials. This is a criterion for businessmen.

Zeng Shufa touched his beard and said, "The wise man is very concerned about it, and he has to worry about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Yao screamed happily and ran out. Zhou Chong looked closely and saw a very handsome young man strode in. Zeng Yao rushed into his arms like a bird entering the forest.
