"Great Master, congratulations on increasing Xi Shi's intimacy to 50, and the attack rate to 50%. The buff Shang Hao has leveled up to Level 5. You have obtained the following benefits:
[Wealth] has been upgraded to [Million Gold]. You can earn one million gold every month.”
"One million gold for this month has been automatically saved in the system space.”
"Great Master, congratulations on raising Zheng Dan's intimacy to 40, and the strategy level to 40%. The buff library has been upgraded to Level 4. You can choose a book to store in the library:
Option 1: Confucian Classics.
Option 2: Buddhist scriptures.
Option 3: Daoist Classics."
Qin Yu hesitated for a moment. In the end, he chose the Daoist scriptures.
Throughout the five thousand years of China, the Taoist culture was still more mysterious and interesting. Qin Yu was more interested in it.
Lao Tzu: "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things."”
Chuang Tzu said,"There is a fish in the North of the North. Its name is Kun. Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is.”
……
Taoism's thoughts on heaven, earth, man, and nature were mysterious and fascinating.
Qin Yu chose the Daoist classics of option 2. Many books related to Daoism appeared in the library.
Laozi, Zhuangzi, Liezi…and so on.
Even Qin Yu could recite it backwards.
After choosing the reward, Qin Yu fell asleep soundly with Xi Shi and Zheng Dan accompanying him.
Two days later.
The county magistrate Xun Gan came to visit Qin Yu again and said."Young Master Qin, there are already two counties nearby. They have already prepared wood, shops, and houses. Can you make a trip there and help them build the waterwheel?”
Qin Yu nodded in agreement. Before leaving Gouwu County, he specially hired a capable steward to take care of Rouge Workshop.
Then, Qin Yu, together with Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, began to run about between the villages in the counties around Gouwu County.
If he accepted the ten good trees, he would build a waterwheel for the village.
The county magistrate of each county city provided Qin Yu with a shop and a house. Qin Yu then used the shop to continue opening Rouge Workshop and expand his commercial influence.
Now, every time Qin Yu arrived at a county town, there would definitely be a crowd of ten thousand people. They would fight to see Qin Yu's elegant demeanor and his two beautiful personal maids, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan.
Qin Yu's reputation is growing higher and higher. It has spread far and wide to more than half of the Yue State. Even the capital, Kuaiji, has begun to show Qin Yu's influence.
Rich businessman, waterwheel and rouge. These three terms have already become the topics of discussion for Qin Yu among the people of the State of Yue. Whether it is farmers, craftsmen, peddlers or young ladies, they are all talking about Qin Yu with great interest. They even hope to see his true face.
However, no one knows Qin Yu's true origin. They only know that he came from Luo Yi.
On the 9th day after Qin Yu went to the various counties to build the waterwheel.
Along the way, Fan Li was inspecting the people's situation. Almost as soon as Qin Yu's reputation spread, he returned to Kuaiji, the capital.
Early in the morning, he could not rest and went straight to the palace to participate in the morning court session.
When he arrived at the palace, the King of Yue, Gou Jian, was sitting upright. Below him were the ministers discussing state affairs and asking for the people's feelings.
"Report! Your Majesty, Doctor Fan Li requests an audience.”
The guards outside the palace reported to Gou Jian, the King of Yue.
"Fan Li is back," Gou Jian said, overjoyed.”
The surrounding officials were also delighted, especially the counselor Wen Zhong. He and Fan Li were good friends. They were Gou Jian's right-hand men in the fight against the Wu Kingdom.
Fan Li hurried into the hall and said,""Your Majesty, Fan Li's trip to Gouwu County has both good and bad news.”
Gou Jian saw that Fan Li was keeping him in suspense and smiled,""Doctor Fan, I'll listen to the happy news first.”
"I found a peerless genius in Gouwu County's Zhuluo Village. His surname is Qin, his name is Yu, and his name is Jie Yi. He came from the Great Zhou Emperor's Luoyi City.”Fan Li reported loudly.
Gou Jian and his ministers were shocked and puzzled.
"Doctor Fan, why have I never heard of this Qin Yu?”
"That's right. I remember that there are no famous families with the surname Qin in Luo Yi.”
"Moreover, this person's handwriting is too frivolous and inappropriate. I think he's a profligate son.”
Only Wen Zhong didn't suspect anything and said,""Everyone, there must be a reason for Senior Fan Li to praise Qin Jieyi so highly.”
" Doctor Fan," Gou Jian asked Fan Li," you said that Qin Jieyi is a rare genius. I wonder what is so special about him?"”
"First, Qin Jieyi's identity is mysterious. He's rich and spends a lot of money. Secondly, Qin Jieyi claimed to be a businessman, but he knew everything about the world. Third, Qin Jieyi would build a tool called a waterwheel that could automatically irrigate farmland. He would resolve the drought in the entire Gouwu County.”
Fan Li analyzed Qin Yu's outstanding points one by one. All the officials in the court were surprised. They paid special attention to the waterwheel that was used to irrigate the farmland.
"Doctor Fan, what is a waterwheel? Why could it automatically irrigate farmland?”Everyone asked.
"Fan Li is untalented and ignorant. He did not understand how this waterwheel works. That's why I said that Qin Jieyi is a peerless genius!”said Fan Li.
Hearing this, Gou Jian was a little moved and said,"Senior Fan, why didn't you bring such a talent to see me and let him serve our Yue Country?”
"Your Majesty, this is the bad news that Fan Li wanted to report to you.”"I have offended Qin Jieyi," said Fan Li.”
"Why? Why did you offend this person, Doctor Fan?" Gou Jian was confused.
Fan Li replied," Your Majesty, do you still remember the reason why I went to Gouwu County? It was to find beauties to present to the Wu Palace. I met the beauties Shi Yiguang and Zheng Dan in the Zhu Luo Village of Gouwu County. However, Qin Jieyi beat me to it and took the two beauties as his maids. In order to fight for the two beauties, I almost fought with him.”
"A beauty can be found again, but a rare genius is rare!”Wen Zhong stood up and said," Doctor Fan, I've already found six beauties. Even without Shi Yiguang and Zheng Dan, there won't be much of an impact. But we must try our best to win over Qin Jieyi and make him work for the State of Yue."”
Fan Li nodded and said to Gou Jian,""Your Majesty, I implore you to personally visit Qin Jieyi and make him work for the State of Yue. If you can get this person, the world will be yours!”
"I agree!" Wen Zhong also said.
"Alright, then the two of you will accompany me. Tomorrow, we will go to Gouwu County to visit this peerless genius, Qin Jieyi.”Gou Jian was eager to try.
