Chapter 261 Cai Kun is here again
The next morning.
Lu Zhi, who used to get up early every day to personally oversee her shop, slept in late.
She was so exhausted last night that she couldn't get out of bed. If Tang Yu hadn't been thinking that she might have things to do today, she would have...
Empress Lü Zhi wanted to stay in bed all day and couldn't get up at all.
Looking at the already cold bed beside him, Zhili couldn't help but purse his lips.
"Hmph, what a heartless man. He didn't treat her like this last night."
However, she also knew that, like herself, Tang Yu had his own things to do and handle, perhaps even busier than her.
Yes, Tang Yu gets up so early partly because he is often pressured by Brother Zheng, which has shaped his biological clock.
On the other hand, it was because Brother Zheng sent someone to report that someone had visited him.
Tang Yu was extremely surprised to hear this.
He felt that he only knew a handful of people and had a few friends in the Qin state.
If they were to visit him, Ying Zheng would definitely not react this way.
Who could this person be?
At this moment, he arrived in front of his detached palace and saw a young man standing there who could be described as handsome, but whose figure was somewhat too thin.
The moment he saw the other person, he felt that the other person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he could not quite put his finger on it.
Upon seeing Tang Yu arrive, the young man immediately rushed to Tang Yu's side as if he were a star, his eyes burning with admiration.
"Your Excellency, Imperial Advisor! Cai Kun requests an audience!"
Cai Kun? Singing, dancing, rapping, basketball?
Tang Yu subconsciously thought of a reason.
But he immediately realized that he was already dressed up, so where did the singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball come from?
The other party was clearly the son of a farmer's descendant. Thinking of this, he looked at Cai Kun in front of him and nodded slightly.
"What? What brings you here?"
Seeing Tang Yu's performance, Cai Kun shouted excitedly.
"Grand Preceptor, I have come to see you today at the invitation of my father."
"Oh, your father?"
"Could it be Cai Qiang, who served as the chief agricultural official in the Qin state?"
Tang Yu also had an impression of the Cai family.
After all, Cai Qiang was quite famous last time, but when Tang Yu needed donations from court officials...
In his first donation, his contribution was second only to those of high-ranking ministers such as Li Si and Wang Jian.
Even among ministers with much higher official positions than him, Cai Qiang was among the top.
Later, Tang Yu lifted the donation restrictions again, allowing those who came later to surpass him.
However, it seems that Cai Qiang had already donated all he could the first time, which is why he was pushed out the second time.
Tang Yu was naturally quite impressed by this kind of good official who was wholeheartedly devoted to serving the people.
He looked at Cai Kun in front of him.
It's unbelievable that Cai Qiang and Cai Kun are father and son.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although the surname Cai was not uncommon in the Qin state, it was definitely not very common.
Being in the same court, they were bound to have some kind of relationship.
I just don't know what Cai Qiang wants from me.
Tang Yu pondered for a moment.
After all, Cai Qiang had been diligent and conscientious in his official duties, truly embodying the spirit of giving his all until his dying breath.
After all, as an agricultural official, he was only required to manage, but he did everything himself.
He not only went down to the fields to help the people and others grow grain, but also solved various diseases of the grain. He was simply the representative of agricultural officials all over the world.
"This matter is of great importance. My father asked me to invite the Grand Preceptor. I cannot say anything more."
Seeing Cai Kun's serious expression, Tang Yu nodded and followed him toward the Cai family home.
As soon as he arrived at the Cai family's door, Tang Yu saw Cai Qiang standing respectfully at the door to greet him.
"I've met the Imperial Master."
Tang Yu and Cai Qiang then entered the house together. Cai Qiang was moved to tears when he saw Tang Yu.
"Your Excellency, Imperial Preceptor! Your humble servant Cai Qiang pays his respects!"
Faced with such a respectful bow from a good official, Tang Yu quickly helped him up.
After all, he was not a very competent national advisor.
Although he did many things for the Qin state, he believed that his attitude and level of seriousness were the most important factors.
I am no match for Cai Qiang at all; we are worlds apart.
"Grand Preceptor, Cai Qiang had the opportunity to witness your charisma during the fundraising event in the court that day. Does the Grand Preceptor recall anything?"
Faced with Cai Qiang's question, Tang Yu quickly nodded.
Throughout the Qin Dynasty, there were indeed quite a few officials who were united in their efforts to serve the people, but there were very few of them!
Cai Qiang was definitely one of them. At this moment, Cai Qiang looked at Tang Yu and said in a very excited tone.
“My lord, our Cai family has served the Qin state since my great-grandfather’s time, and the Cai family has been in power for more than five generations!”
"Similarly, my Cai family is a descendant of the Agricultural School of the Hundred Schools of Thought, and the identity of the leader of the Agricultural School has been passed down and handed over internally within my Cai family."
"It's embarrassing to admit..."
Hearing what the other person said, Tang Yu realized what was going on.
Yes, Cai Qiang in front of me seems to be the leader of the farmers. So the reason he called me over must be related to agricultural matters.
As expected, Cai Qiang looked at Tang Yu and said in a sincere tone.
"Today, Cai Qiang has dared to invite the Grand Preceptor here because he wishes to cede the position of leader of the Farmers' School to the Grand Preceptor. Please accept it."
"Huh? The peasant leader is being given to me?"
Tang Yu was stunned when he heard this, because Li Si had previously given me the position of leader of the Legalist school.
Although Sun Qiang didn't speak about the position of leader of the Mohist school, his attitude clearly indicated that if Tang Yu were willing, he would also be the leader of the Mohist school.
As for Confucianism, if Tang Yu really wanted to become the leader of Confucianism, Confucianism would definitely not say a word against it.
From a military perspective, the future legacy rests in Tang Yu's hands.
Han Xin, the genius of war, that title should be impressive enough, right?
Now this farmhouse has come back into my hands, what exactly is it going to do?
While Tang Yu was still in a daze, Cai Qiang thought that Tang Yu looked down on the position of leader of the peasants, so he quickly knelt down on the ground.
"thump!"
"Grand Preceptor, although the Farmer School is not considered a powerful sect among the Hundred Schools of Thought."
"But my family's purpose is to ensure the happiness of all people and to build a society for all living beings."
"My lifelong wish is that everyone in the world can have enough to eat."
"The reason why the leadership position has been circulating within my Tsai family is because there is no suitable candidate."
"Today, the Grand Preceptor is absolutely capable of fulfilling this responsibility, and what the Grand Preceptor has done is more than enough to qualify him as the leader of the peasant school!"
"Please, Your Excellency, do not refuse!"
