Chapter 549: Descendants do not plot against Xia, barbarians do not disrupt Hua!

This residence looked very inconspicuous among the many residences in Xianyang. It looked like a courtyard where commoners lived, but only those with meticulous minds, like Han Fei, would discover the uniqueness of this residence.

Around this residence, mysterious people were secretly guarding it.

The people in the residence had always lived in seclusion and never went out on their own.

When Ying Zheng came here, the Shadow Secret Guards immediately guarded the surroundings of this residence tightly.

In the residence, an old man with gray hair and beard was reading a military book. After seeing Ying Zheng, he did not immediately bow respectfully to Ying Zheng, the emperor, like those ministers of the Qin State. On the contrary, he just took a look at Ying Zheng and then cast his gaze back to the military book in his hand.

With the appearance of paper, it was gradually replaced, and at the same time, the cost of books also came down.

Later, Su Xuan also taught the printing technique to the Mohist school. Through the research of the Mohist school, the printing technology was carried forward. Later, with the instruction of the Qin official, many books were also sold to the outside world at a low price.

This was one of the measures Ying Zheng took to cultivate more talents.

If it were the Ying Zheng of the past, his goal was only to destroy the six states and unify the world. At this time, implementing a policy of keeping the people ignorant was naturally the best. 423 He could not let the common people know too much, and even restricted their channels to obtain knowledge.

But now it is different.

Ying Zheng's goal is not only in the Central Plains. He has great ambition and wants to unify the whole world.

Relying solely on the current officials of the Qin State to rule the entire Central Plains is a bit difficult. This is because literate people are only a small part of the world. For the sake of the future, for the sake of the Qin State being able to govern the whole world in the future.

He must solve the problem of low literacy rates.

When the literacy rate increases, intellectuals and scholars will also increase.

Since the Qin State has such a divine tool as paper that is conducive to the dissemination of knowledge, it must naturally be utilized.

The book held by the old man at this moment is a paper book.

Ying Zheng did not care about the old man's rude behavior. His gaze fell on him, and he said somewhat complexly: "Li Mu, long time no see!"

The person in front of him was the former Great General of the Zhao State, Li Mu.

In the past, Li Mu was famous all over the world because he defeated hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops, and was then recalled to the capital by the King of Zhao and entrusted with important tasks. Qin attacked Zhao, and Li Mu blocked Qin's attack. If the Zhao State had continued to value him, he might have become a great enemy of the Qin State.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.

The King of Zhao passed away from illness, and the Crown Prince Zhao Qian and the favorite minister of the King of Zhao, Guo Kai, both regarded Li Mu as a thorn in their side. The Qin State used a little bit of counter-espionage, which caused Li Mu to lose power. Later, the Qin State used means to secretly detain him to the Qin State.

During these days in the Qin State.

Although Li Mu had always been treated well by Ying Zheng, his mood had always been in a state of resentment and sadness. It had only been ten years since the destruction of the Zhao State. According to his age, Li Mu should still be in his middle age, but his white hair looked like an old man.

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Li Mu finally slowly put down the military book in his hand. He could no longer pretend not to see Ying Zheng.

"The Qin Emperor is busy with ten thousand things, not dealing with government affairs, why are you in the mood to see me, a dead person?"

When talking about a dead person, Li Mu's tone was a bit strange.

This is not surprising, because except for a few people.

In everyone's eyes, Li Mu was a person who had died many years ago.

"Li Mu, are you really willing to take your military strategy and grow old here?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Mu and said lightly.

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, a strange look flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and then his words turned into indifference, showing his estrangement, "What exactly does the Qin Emperor want to say?"

Ying Zheng said coldly: "You once defeated 200,000 Xiongnu troops in the land of Yanmen. Among the many famous generals in the Central Plains over the years, your record against the Xiongnu is the most brilliant!"

"Today, the Xiongnu are advancing on a large scale, invading the border of our Qin State, and slaughtering our Qin people!"

"I want you to come out of the mountain, assist Meng Tian, and meet the Xiongnu!"

"Oh?" Hearing Ying Zheng's straightforward words, Li Mu's expression suddenly became strange. A mocking smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "Help the Qin State resist the Xiongnu? Has the Qin Emperor forgotten one thing? Li Mu is a person of the Zhao State, and it was the Qin State that destroyed the Zhao State!"

"The Qin State has the hatred of destroying our country against our Zhao State, why should I help the Qin State?"

"Just because you and I are both descendants of Huaxia!" Ying Zheng replied in a deep voice: "Li Mu, your vision is too narrow. You only saw the Qin State destroying the Zhao State, but you didn't see that whether it is the Qin State or the Zhao State, they are the seven states of the past, and they are all descendants of Huaxia."

"Although I don't like Confucianism, I quite agree with a certain sentence said by the ancestors of Confucianism in the past!"

"Descendants do not plot against Xia, barbarians do not disrupt Hua!"

After hearing this sentence, Li Mu's eyes suddenly condensed. Although he was a person of the Military School, he could also understand the meaning of this sentence.
