Chapter 398
"Seen Old General Wang."
For Wang Jian, Su Fan is still relatively respectful. The other party's character and ability are among the top in Huaxia's generals.
"Sit! This time going out, the harvest is not small."
Looking at Su Fan's high spirits, Wang Jian was also filled with emotion. It has been less than a year since he went out, and the other party's cultivation has improved so fast. Just cultivation has reached the peak of Hua Yuan, and with his vision, he can naturally see that the other party is more than that.
Combat power has also reached Profound Mastery.
This talent is truly not weak, especially the other party's age.
This is the most terrifying thing.
I didn't expect that his whim back then would create such a person. The news of Su Fan's promotion, Wang Jian naturally knew.
And he even understood His Majesty better in his heart. I fear that it won't be long before this child is enfeoffed as a marquis.
And once he reaches this stage, Su Fan is absolutely the number one civil official of the current Great Qin Empire. After all, it is difficult for military generals to be enfeoffed as marquises, but it is not impossible.
Didn't their Wang family have two marquises in one family?
But for civil officials, wanting to be enfeoffed as a marquis is really too difficult. Even the Legalist elder Shang Yang back then was only enfeoffed as a lord.
And Su Fan doing it while alive, not by military merit, will absolutely cause a great storm.
In fact, many people can see it. After all, the appearance of new agricultural technology is a visible help to Great Qin.
This year, Great Qin's food increased, especially around Xianyang City. It can be said that every village and every household is full of laughter.
And the data reported by the Inner History this year, food tax revenue, increased by half a percent compared to previous years. Don't look at it as a small half percent, but in the six counties around Xianyang, that is a full increase of several million shi of food.
This is still the six counties around Xianyang. Next year, the whole world will start to promote it, so one can imagine that this data will skyrocket.
So Su Fan's merit is how great. The productivity in ancient times was only so high. Before, Great Qin, if there were no natural or man-made disasters, could barely support so many people.
But many things couldn't be done.
Now it's different. Once the harvest really increases by thirty percent every year, it will release a lot of power.
Many people are jealous of Su Fan. Su Fan went from a commoner to a high-level official of the Nine Ministers in one year, and his title was constantly raised. This is something many families can only achieve in several generations.
However, jealousy is jealousy, but they dare not do anything to Su Fan.
Because the nobles in Xianyang City all know how much His Majesty values this child, because there are not many people in the entire court who can be summoned in Zhangtai Palace.
Moreover, he even stayed for a meal in Zhangtai Palace and had a meal alone with His Majesty. This is what kind of trust.
Wang Jian naturally knew. Looking at this young man in front of him, he seemed to see himself back then.
Back then, His Majesty also trusted himself like this and handed over more than half of the Great Qin Empire's troops to himself.
It was fine if he won, but once he lost, Great Qin would fall into an irreversible existence. Fortunately, he won back then.
Although the war of destroying countries seemed easy, Great Qin destroyed the six countries in less than a hundred years. You must know that the seven countries had been fighting for thousands of years before, and they hadn't decided the winner.
Now Great Qin, under His Majesty's leadership, took a hundred years.
Besides the ability of these generals, there is also the emperor's means and trust.
Right now, this child is like back then, only the only difference is that he is for the army, and this child is for politics, that's all.
In Su Fan's body, he saw the ability to hold power over the court.
However, what makes him curious is that he didn't see much ambition in Su Fan, which made him very surprised.
Li Si back then was also like Su Fan, young and valued by His Majesty. In the process of eliminating Lu Buwei, he also played a great role, and thus rose rapidly.
At that time, he saw bottomless ambition in the other party.
Both are very similar, both promoted extremely rapidly, and in a short time, they reached the position of high officials.
But there is no ambition in Su Fan, as if he were a Daoist hermit without desires or demands.
This is also the reason why he is willing to let Wang Zhan make friends with the other party.
If he were truly ambitious, Wang Jian wouldn't look up to him. For example, that Li Si once wanted to form an alliance with their Wang family.
But he was rejected by him.
Their Wang family doesn't need such a person as an ally.
In Wang Jian's eyes, Li Si will sooner or later harm himself because of his ambition, just like Lu Buwei back then.
The desire for power is endless. When a person reaches a certain status, he still wants to continue, and the final ending is not beautiful.
Lu Buwei was like this, he had thoughts he shouldn't have.
Of course, it's not that he wanted to rebel. Perhaps Lao Ai had the heart to rebel, but in Wang Jian's eyes, Lu Buwei didn't have the heart to rebel.
Because Lu Buwei is a smart person. In Great Qin, if you are not of the Great Qin royal family, wanting to rebel, it is fundamentally impossible to succeed.
Because the old Qin people don't allow it, and the Great Qin army doesn't allow it. If you rebel, you can never ascend to the throne, at most you can support another prince.
At that time, Lu Buwei's power was much greater than Li Si's now. At his peak, even His Majesty listened to him. He was not an emperor but was like an emperor.
As an auxiliary minister, the emperor will grow up sooner or later, and inevitably needs to hand over power. Lu Buwei didn't want to hand over the power in his hands, so this day came sooner or later.
As a result, he lost, lost everything.
Originally, with his kindness to His Majesty and his father back then, as long as he took a step back, he could also be like him, glorious for a lifetime.
Instead of being so miserable in the end.
Li Si, in Wang Jian's view, is the second Lu Buwei. The higher his power and status, the more dangerous he is.
Even though Li Si's status at that time was not as high as it is now, Wang Jian still refused, because human nature is hard to change, and he saw at first glance that Li Si's desire for power was extremely great.
It is also this ambition that made him rise step by step.
But this is also his fatal flaw.
And in Su Fan's body, he couldn't see a trace of it. He didn't think this was the other party hiding it. After all, he is an old monster who has experienced more than a hundred years.
If he couldn't even see this, how could he make the Wang family the number one military family of Great Qin?
It is also because of this that he is very satisfied. No desires or demands is the best. No desire for power is safer.
Such a person is the best ally for the Wang family, and they can support each other without implicating each other in the future.
That's why he waited for the other party to return to the manor and asked Wang Zhan to invite him over for a chat.
Of course, the changes in this year also made Wang Jian sigh that he really didn't misjudge the person.
"Compared to the heroic posture of the Old General's war of destroying countries back then, the junior is still far behind, and there is nothing hard about it. Along the way, the junior didn't even need to take action, and many things were helped by Brother Wang Zhan."
