Chapter 7 Mohism, Xiangli Clan
To be honest, Fusu really wanted to help his sixth brother.

To be more honest, he is willing to do his best to help, not only for family ties, but also for Daqin.

But the most important thing to be honest is that Fusu knows nothing about the military!

He only knew that a benevolent man is invincible, and his knowledge of military formations remained at the level of military books. He had watched the army drills several times, but... let alone surpassing Wang Jian, his Fusu's attainments in military formations were probably even worse than Wang Ben's!
"Sixth brother, I don't know anything about the military either!"

"This is going to cause a big mistake, what should I do?"

Fusu spoke quickly, not to refuse, but because he was afraid of delaying Ying Yuan's plan.

After all, improving the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is extremely important for the entire Qin.

The Huns in the north were eyeing them covetously, and the kings of the Baiyue were humble and refused to pay tribute. These were foreign enemies that were very likely to ignite a war in the future.

A strong army is the guarantee for the well-being of the people!

Although Fusu had mostly learned about Confucianism's "benevolence and righteousness" and was a bit pedantic, he was not so stupid that he expected to subdue the barbarians by saying a few words of "peace, benevolence and virtue".

"Brother, you think too much!"

"If I really want to know about the military, why don't I go find General Wang?"

The corner of Ying Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt a little helpless.

Is my brother thinking too much? Or is my brother's brain too stubborn?

"Ah? Then what are you going to do for me?"

Fusu was slightly stunned, his eyes full of confusion.

My sixth brother has an important mission to do and time is so tight. It is impossible for him to come and entertain me, right?
"Brother, you need to use your mind and develop your wisdom!"

Ying Yuan chuckled, not that he didn't intend to keep the secret. Anyway, it would be too difficult for him to guess his brother's intentions with his brain.

"Brother, I know that you have a Juxian Hall, which has a very good reputation in the eyes of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms or the old people of the Six Kingdoms."

"I need you to help me find someone, or rather, a group of people!"

After hearing these words, Fusu was slightly stunned and his expression became strange.

Although he established the Juxian Hall in order to enable the talents of the six kingdoms to be employed by the Qin Dynasty, and also made many suggestions to the court, there was much opposition in the court to these suggestions that would benefit the old people of the six kingdoms.

Even Fusu himself knew that it would take some time for the Juxian Hall to truly unite the hearts of these people.

now,

Ying Yuan actually asked him to find someone through Juxian Hall? And the purpose was to improve the combat effectiveness of the Qin army?

This doesn't sound reliable!

Even the imperial guard Tie Niu beside him scratched his head.

Why are the two gentlemen talking more and more off the mark? Didn't they say they wanted to improve the combat power of the Qin army? Why did they even bring up the Juxian Hall?
Wow, the Qin army killed people from the six countries. Can this help improve their combat effectiveness?

"Sixth brother, who do you want to see?"

Fusu gritted his teeth and spoke.

No matter what, as long as there is a glimmer of hope to improve the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, Fusu is willing to give it a try.

Ying Yuan chuckled and uttered a name: "Xiang Licheng!"

When this name was mentioned, Fusu's expression suddenly changed!
Xiangli Cheng, he could find this person, or rather, this person was living in the mansion that Fusu bought for him.

But, this person's identity is really not simple!
He was a great figure of the Mohist school who once served the Qin Dynasty.

His ancestor was named Xiangli Qin, who led the disciples of the Mohist school into Qin during the reign of King Hui of Qin. He advocated universal love and the promotion of the virtuous and deepened the reform.

Later, when the Qin State grew stronger and conquered the world, Xiangli clan believed that this was contrary to their Mohist advocacy of "non-aggression", so they gradually distanced themselves from the court (another saying is that they were marginalized or suppressed). By the time the six states were officially destroyed, Xiangli clan was rarely seen!

"Sixth brother, you want to find this person?" "He is a little difficult! The Mohist school advocates universal love and non-aggression. Now asking him to help my Great Qin strengthen its army is really..."

Fusu looked embarrassed.

The task assigned to him by Ying Yuan was not difficult. He already knew the whereabouts of Xiang Licheng, but it was contrary to the Mohist philosophy, so Xiang Licheng would never agree to it!

"Brother, just go ahead and do it."

"I have my own ideas about this matter."

"By the way, if you have time, please help me find the leader of the farmers. You are my Great Qin socialite, and I believe in your ability!"

Ying Yuan showed a relaxed expression and didn't take Fusu's worries to heart at all.

The Mohist school has a fatal weakness, which is too easy to exploit.

"Okay, I'll bring it this afternoon."

When Fusu heard Ying Yuan's words, although he was unsure, he still agreed.

His sixth brother dared to take on such a task for the sake of Daqin, so he just went to find someone to persuade him to meet with his sixth brother. How could he refuse!
"Brother, take care."

Ying Yuan smiled and watched Fusu leave.

Tie Niu, who was standing by, heard the entire conversation between the two gentlemen and felt confused, not understanding anything at all.

But as a royal guard, he instinctively wanted to follow Fusu so as not to disturb Prince Yuan's thoughts.

Unexpectedly,

Ying Yuan said, "Tie Niu, stay."

Fusu paused slightly, then nodded and continued walking out of the palace.

Tie Niu scratched his head: "Master, do you have any instructions?"

Ying Yuan smiled and said, "Tie Niu, it's actually nothing important, I just want to say hello to you."

"Tomorrow, I will ask my father to let you leave the Imperial Guards and work for me. Do you have this intention?"

Ying Yuan himself is a lazy person, and forcing others to do things for him is extremely troublesome.

He has been observing Tie Niu for a long time. He is not smart, but he is loyal. It is not bad to have him by his side as a close guard.

After all, the best way to slack off is to let others do the work for you, right?
Life is not achieved through laziness, but through pushing things forward!

"Sir, as a guard, it is an honor for me to work for you!"

Tie Niu grinned and nodded repeatedly, saying, "What's more, what you did was for the great cause of the Qin Empire. I am just a brute with a few stupid strengths, and I am considered to be doing things for the Qin Empire. I will be very proud of myself!"

"Thank you Tie Niu for your appreciation, young master!"

Being able to work for the young master, he is definitely a guard! Much better than the palace guards.

What's more, although Tie Niu is a little naive, he has the patriotism of the old Qin people in his bones and is not at all dull.

Gongzi Yuan did great things for the Qin Dynasty, and Tie Niu did things for Gongzi Yuan. Doesn't that mean that Tie Niu was also indirectly doing great things for the Qin Dynasty?
A simple and honest person, with simple thinking, but efficient!

"Okay! From now on, you will stay in this palace of mine. Go and tell the head of the imperial guards, Shu Lin."

"I want to sleep. When my brother comes with his men, just wake me up."

Ying Yuan stretched his waist and then returned to the couch.

After hearing these words, Tie Niu was stunned!
What? Sir, you still want to sleep?
Half an hour later, a man in black armor walked in quickly from the Zhangtai Palace, bowed respectfully to His Majesty the First Emperor, and respectfully presented a bamboo slip:

"Your Majesty, Master Fusu went to the Sixth Master's palace! After only a brief conversation, he hurried to Xiang Licheng's mansion."
