Chapter 10 Section 6 The nobles help each other

Zheng Guo and Li Si are in the tavern in Xianyang. After hearing what happened to Li Si, Zheng Guo also sighed unceasingly, and suddenly asked: "How is Old Master Xun?" Li Si was startled and said, "Do you know Master? Do you also know Li Si?" Zheng Guodao: "Master Xun was a true Confucian in the world, and his peaches and plums are all over the world. Who doesn't know? The king is the master who is proud of his life. He wants to escape from fame but can't get it. Zheng Guo knows the king. It's not strange. Zheng Guo has one thing that he doesn't know. Talented and learned, and following Master Xun’s recommendation letter, the lords of the Seven Kingdoms would not be lucky to extend the king, but it is difficult to surpass the three-foot rank of the prime minister’s mansion, and you will be humiliated by the dog guarding the door?"

Li Si was proud and arrogant. When he left Lanling, he never thought of asking Xun Qing for a letter of recommendation. Since Xun Qing held him in high regard, as long as he opened his mouth, Xun Qing would naturally write him a letter with the best of words. Recommendations for things.Holding such a recommendation letter is more bluffing than holding five or six doctoral degrees today, and you can save N years of struggle.However, Li Si didn't want it. He had his own strong principles.Li Si replied: "My master has benefited me a lot, and Li Si is ashamed to repay me. Now Li Si has not achieved his achievements, his name is not good, and he cannot glorify his master. He is really ashamed. As a disciple, if he only knows the name of a fake master to invite luck , I don’t know how to rely on my master’s skills to stand on my own, this way of a villain is not the way of a gentleman, and Li Si disdains it.”

Zheng Guo praised secretly in his heart: "No wonder Mr. Han Fei praised this person very much. Looking at his mind, there are differences." He also said: "If you want to see Xiangguo, Mr. Zheng may be able to help him." Li Si, who was at the end of his life, was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, "I would like to hear the details." Zheng Guodao: "Zheng Guo is a Korean. Xiangguo Lu Buwei is also a Korean. Zheng Guo and Xiangguo have an old friendship. Zheng Guo came to Xianyang to offer advice to Xiangguo and seek wealth and glory. If you want to see Xiangguo, if you don't feel wronged , can temporarily serve as Zheng's servant, and enter the Prime Minister's mansion, and the king will talk about it. The prime minister pleases the king, and may the king not forget the merits of Zheng Guo's introduction. If the prime minister chases the king, it is useless for the king to stay in Xianyang. The world is so big, Where there is no place for talents, if you want to transfer to the six countries, Zheng Guo is willing to help you. If you will succeed in the future, don’t forget the righteousness of Zheng Guo’s help.”

The good luck came so suddenly that Li Si couldn't believe it was real.Li Si didn't like Zheng Guozhi's appearance, but at this moment, the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.Li Si thought to himself: There are so many taverns in Xianyang, but Zheng Guo walked into the one I was in.He could walk into this tavern at any time, but he walked in when I was most desperate.Perhaps, this is the unpredictable fate.How could Li Si at that time have thought that this was actually a deliberate arrangement. Although Li Si couldn't help but think that it was disgraceful to pretend to be a servant, but thinking that he could finally see Lu Buwei, this little grievance was really nothing, so he happily agreed.

Affected by the good news provided by Zheng Guo, Li Si's stock price soared immediately, and the boss of Ni Lu took the initiative to add wine and food to Li Si's table.Li Si persuaded Zheng Guojiu graciously, and then asked: "I don't know what strategy Xiongtai wants to offer to Xiangguo?" Zheng Guo was a well-known water conservancy expert in the Warring States Period. The status of scientists at that time was incomparable to what it is today. They were discriminated against and no one liked to listen to what they said. I felt aggrieved.Zheng Guo was even a little moved by Li Si's question, regardless of whether Li Si was his bosom friend or not, he took out a map and pointed to it to explain: "Look, between Jingshui and Luoshui is Guanzhong. The land has a vast territory, but because of the lack of water, the fields are barren, and the people cultivate and cultivate all year round, but they are still hungry. Zheng Guo's policy, first, twenty-five miles southwest of Yunyang County, Yongzhou, dug Jingshui, and The canal at the mouth of Dihu in the west of Zhongshan is adjacent to Beishan Mountain, passing through Jingyang, Sanyuan, Gaoling, Lintong, Fuping, Pucheng, and injecting Luoshui in the east. It will irrigate the fields for more than 300 li. In just a few years, Harada was hopeful, and the genus of Ganhe was connected. The place where hazel thorns came from, was full of japonica rice, and there were good years and no bad years. Guanzhong was a fertile field, and Qin was able to prosper."

Zheng Guo said with joy and spit, thinking that there is no better plan in the world than this.Although Li Siyu is an amateur in water conservancy, he also thinks that Zheng Guo's project sounds beautiful, but he has a faint feeling that there is another mystery in it.Anyway, it's none of his business, and he has no time to think about it.The two cupped cups and cups interlaced, and parted happily. They agreed to go to Xiangfu together the next day.
