Chapter 7 Not Rich (Part 2)
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Chong clasped his fists and said, "Zhou Chong is not talented, so he can get a different look at him. Zhou Chong is very grateful. Zhou Chong is the people in the mountains and fields and people in the market. He has no talent and virtue and dares not take a high position."
Cao Bo tapped on the table and said with regret: "Mr. Zhou is so talented and knowledgeable. If he doesn't contribute to my Qin Dynasty, it would be a pity. If he doesn't say anything else, he just woke up Cao's words, it would be impossible for ordinary people to say it. He is really talented. He is noble and does not want to be plagued by ordinary things. Cao can understand it. However, it's a pity that Cao is burying his talents. Cao doesn't know how to elevate him. Please think twice."
"I am not so smart, I'm just telling the laws of history. If you say this, can all those historians who are proficient in history be talented and can everyone be in a high position?" Zhou Chong felt a little dissatisfied with Cao Bo's opinion in his heart, and said with a smile: "I am grateful to the Lord for not abandoning Zhou Chong. Zhou Chong is lucky to be so arrogant. Everyone has ambitions. Please don't force Zhou Chong to do something that Zhou Chong is unwilling to do."
The King of Qin invited Zhou Chong as an official, but Zhou Chong politely refused, and Cao Bo would naturally not respond again. The reason was nothing more than one: although Qin Shihuang could achieve a generation of hegemony, it was difficult to determine the evaluation of him in later generations. If Zhou Chong became his official position, the fortune and misfortune would be difficult to determine, so Zhou Chong was unwilling to be an official.
Zhou Chong was very determined to be the official's wish, and it seemed that he could not be moved. Cao Bo sighed and said, "Mr.'s talent is buried, what a pity!" He paused and said, "Maybe, Mr. Zhou's talent is not something I, Cao, can't help me. Cao should report to the king and make a decision."
"You told the King of Qin that it is the best. I have refused once. He will not ask me to be an official anymore. This is easy to deal with." Zhou Chong was secretly happy in his heart and clasped his fists and said, "Zhou Chong, please don't make things difficult for Zhou Chong, otherwise Zhou Chong will die from now on."
Cao Bo was shocked, almost stood up, and asked, "What is the point of sir?"
"The world is disturbed by the world, and there is a pure land, and Zhou Chong can always find it." Zhou Chong and him had a puzzle.
Cao Bo knew that he could not force himself anymore, so he patted his forehead and said, "Sir, you are so noble, Cao dares not fulfill it. If the gentleman does not dislike Cao, he is willing to be friends with him. Don't you know if the gentleman looks down on Cao?"
An official like him is much cute than modern officials Zhou Chong has ever seen, so it is not bad to be friends with him. Zhou Chong said happily: "Since that's the case, Zhou Chong dares not obey orders."
Cao Bo was overjoyed and said, "Brother Zhou loves you wrongly, Cao Bo is very grateful. Cao Bo thanked me here."
The two talked and talked for a while, and Cao Bo left.
As soon as Cao Bo left, Master and Apprentice arrived at the back. The master and apprentice raised their thumbs and Wei Liao praised: "Brother Zhou is so noble, and Liaozi is eager to enter the world, which makes Brother Zhou laugh."
Wang Ao also praised: "Xu You is just like this when Brother Zhou's trip."
Zhou Chong pointed to the master and apprentice and smiled and said, "I've finished saying good things to you. Are I that noble?" What I thought to myself was: "Do you know what I have done in that world? I have done a lot of bribery for officials. You will definitely be surprised if you know."
Wang Ao smiled and said, "Brother Zhou is too humble. Brother Zhou has such a broad mind, which is really admirable."
Zhou Chong shook his hand and said, "Brother Wang has been awarded too much. Who is the one who truly has a big mind? Who is the one who abandons Mr. Liaozi? Mr. Liaozi is determined to help the world and assist the wise king to end the hundreds of years of melee. This is truly worthy of praise. I am just keeping myself alone. Compared with Mr. Liaozi's benevolence and moral mind, it is not worth mentioning at all. Zhou Chong should be ashamed of it."
Wei Liao clasped his fists and said, "Brother Zhou helped Liaozi fulfill his wish. Liaozi thanked Brother Zhou here. If it weren't for the trouble of the world, he would not have been able to remain peaceful for hundreds of years, and Liaozi would not be willing to walk in the world. Isn't it a pleasure to travel around the forest with a master like Zhou?"
This is not a casual statement. In ancient China, there were not many people who achieved great achievements but were able to retreat bravely. The famous ones were Sun Wu, Sun Bin, Wei Liao and others. As for Zhang Liang and Chi Songyou, which were widely circulated in later generations, it is purely a joke.
Zhou Chong knew that his words were not fake, and smiled and said, "Sir, the true kindness is the true kindness. Zhou Chong dared not to be careless for the gentleman. When Master Cao left, he was afraid that his intention would be difficult to stop. He said to Zhou Chong as a friend just for Brother Wei. Please prepare for Brother Wei early."
Wei Liao nodded and said, "This inner-shistor is honest and capable, and it is not bad to be a friend of him. However, he is probably not just a little bit of trouble, but also something even more troublesome. We must prepare early."
His words were a bit difficult to understand. Zhou Chong asked blankly: "Brother Wei's words are too profound, Zhou Chong can't understand. Can Brother Wei explain it clearly?"
Wei Liao touched his beard and smiled and said, "It's not that Wei Liao doesn't want to say it, but that this matter will be decided in a few days, and Brother Zhou will understand then."
Zhou Chong knew that if he didn't say anything, he wouldn't say anything, so he had to resist asking.
As Wei Liao said, after only three days, the trouble came to the door. It was said that it was troublesome, just in terms of Zhou Chong and his team's situation at that time, if it were in modern society, it would be the God of Wealth. Because the governments near Xianyang sent people to Sibaozhai to purchase paper and pens, they found out that it was recommended by Cao Bo, the master of the Inner History.
The reason Cao Bo recommended is that the paper and pen in Sibaozhai are easy to use and can improve efficiency. This is a real thing. Who doesn’t want to improve the efficiency of doing things and improve political achievements? So, batch after batch of purchasing personnel appeared in front of Sibaozhai.
Doing business with the government is very different from doing business between the people. You can shirk it off when doing business with the people. Sometimes you can't shirk it off when doing business with the government. You have to accept it even if you don't accept it, and you have to accept it even if you don't accept it. It is precisely because of this consideration that Zhou Chong knew that he couldn't produce, so he could only bite the bullet and take the order.
Wei Liao was very active in this matter. He would take the orders and would never let the procurement officials return empty-handed. Zhou Chong naturally understood his thoughts, that is, to take this opportunity to improve the already good administrative efficiency of Qin State, and in that case, Qin State would become even stronger. The strength of a country is not only reflected in the invincible army and the invincible attack. The advanced technology is not only money, but also in the efficient government team.
"Brother Wei, we can't meet so many things no matter what, what should we do?" Zhou Chong looked at the order waiting for height and said depressedly: "Although our profit is small, all these orders are done. If you don't want to be rich, you and I will become rich and can sleep in the golden tent, but how can we have so much money to do?"
Wei Liao was not in a hurry at all about this matter. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhou is a talented person, this matter is just a slight effort."
Zhou Chong patted the table in a angrily and said, "You are so light and hard, where can I find it?"
Wei Liao smiled and said, "People in the mountains and rivers only love mountains and rivers, not silver. These common things will be troubled by Brother Zhou."
Looking at his smiling face, Zhou Chong really had the urge to rush up and strangle him to death. He patted his forehead and said, "There is only one way to solve the current difficulties."
