Chapter 37: Telling Ying Zheng how to make the Qin lose the support of the people
After Zhao Yi left, Xiao Ling asked, "Miss, what do you want Zhao Yi to help you with?"

"It's not convenient to tell you this."

As Yu Ji spoke, she picked up the business card left by Zhao Yi.

When Xiaoling heard Yu Ji say this, she stopped asking questions.

But she thought to herself.

What exactly can I do for you, young lady?

Could it be that the young lady wants to sneak away...

Yu Ji looked at the business card carefully.

The workmanship of the calligraphy was extraordinary, as it was made of the finest silk.

The one who is qualified to use this kind of name card must be at least a high-ranking official starting from the rank of county magistrate, or a wealthy businessman like Ba Guafu Qing.

But in Yu Ji's impression, there was no high-ranking official or wealthy businessman named Mr. Zhao.

Zhao Yi’s partner is no ordinary one.

At this time, the door rang again.

Xiaoling walked over to check, then opened the door and let the person in.

Because that person is Luo Yu.

Luo Yu smiled and asked, "I heard that a child came to see you? When did you attack the child?"

"Stop laughing. Zhao Yi just thought my performance was great and wanted to come over to get an autograph."

"Oh, you even called me your younger brother. It seems like you like that kid named Zhao Yi very much."

"Okay, tell me what you want to see me about?"

Luo Yu stopped joking and said seriously: "I'm afraid your little brother Zhao Yi's identity is not simple."

"Tell me something."

"I just learned something from the brothel manager."

Of course Yu Ji knew that Zhao Yi’s identity was not simple, but she was curious about what had happened that made Luo Yu come to see her specially.

"The magistrate of Shaqiu County invited people to the building to watch a performance, so he wanted to avoid others and give up the best Tianzi box."

Yu Ji guessed: "So the county magistrate failed to seize the Tianzi box, and Zhao Yi and his group were inside the box?"

Luo Yu nodded and said, "Yes."

"Just because a county magistrate failed to grab a box, you don't have to come here in person to tell me. There are many officials in Shaqiu County who are higher than the county magistrate. After all, most of His Majesty's officials are here."

"It is true that a county magistrate cannot make me come to you. But the person invited by the county magistrate can make me come to you."

Yu Ji couldn't help but ask curiously: "So who is that person?"

"The court is currently holding the Left Prime Minister Li Si. According to the steward, when Li Si saw the people in the box, his face immediately changed, and he immediately stepped aside and walked out of the box."

When Yu Ji heard the news, she was extremely shocked.

Because she knew that Zhao Yi and his business partners were in that box.

Who is his business partner?
It could make the Left Prime Minister Li Si stop and avoid it.

But she was also glad for her decision.

Since Zhao Yi's partner could make Li Si give in, it shows that his identity is not simple and he must have his own power.

So I can help save my parents.

In addition, Zhao Yi said that he wanted to rebel, but his partners turned out to be high-ranking officials of the Qin Dynasty who even the Left Prime Minister could avoid?

Yu Ji felt a little speechless.

Why did she feel that the Qin Dynasty was like a sieve, with people who wanted to rebel everywhere?

Yu Ji asked, "So do you know who is in the box?"

Luo Yu shook his head. "I don't know either. I only know that besides your little brother Zhao Yi, there is also a middle-aged man, an elderly man, and a guard."

"I have the business card that Zhao Yi gave me. Can you tell who it belongs to?" Yu Ji handed the card to Luo Yu.

Luo Yu flipped through the post and frowned, saying, "No! There is no big businessman named Mr. Zhao in Daqin. And the material of this post is too unusual."

"How special is it?" Yu Ji asked curiously. "The material of this name card is only available in the palace. The one who can use it must be at least a noble marquis. No wonder the left prime minister Li Si avoided it."

"But I don't remember any marquis named Zhao."

During the Qin Dynasty, because the county system was adopted, there were no princes but there were marquises.

Yu Ji silently thought to herself that at least he was a marquis and had military power, so he did have the capital to rebel.

Luo Yu glanced at the paper on Yu Ji's desk, "Hey, what's this on your desk?"

"What Zhao Yi gave me just now is called paper, a new writing material," Yu Ji introduced.

"Paper? A new writing material. This little brother you just met is no ordinary guy."

It’s really not easy, and he’s still thinking about rebelling.

……

Zhao Yi returned to the box.

Ying Zheng joked, "You're back so soon? Were you rejected?"

Zhao Yi shook his head, "No."

"What about the autograph you wanted?"

"It's bad, I forgot about it."

Zhao Yi then remembered that he and Yu Ji were busy talking about Xiang Yu and forgot to sign.

Wang Jian laughed and said, "Ahaha! So what did you do there, Zhao boy? You even forgot this."

"At first, I wanted to recruit Yu Ji to help our rebellion."

Why is this guy so obsessed with rebellion? He even wants to recruit every woman he sees to rebel.

Ying Zheng frowned and asked, "What can a woman like Yu Ji do for the rebellion? Do you want her to assassinate someone?"

"Old Zhao, your idea is not a good one. Rebellion does not necessarily require fighting and killing."

Wang Jian asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Didn't Sun Tzu's Art of War say that the best way to fight a war is to attack its plans, the next best is to attack its alliances, the next best is to attack its troops, and the worst is to attack its cities."

Ying Zheng was puzzled and asked, "I also know Sun Tzu's Art of War, so what can a woman do?"

"Completely destroy the people's morale in Daqin."

Ying Zheng was very puzzled. How could a dancer undermine the people's morale in the Qin Dynasty?

Zhao Yi continued, "In this era, the lower-class people have no entertainment. If a free mobile orchestra appears for the lower-class people, and the content of the orchestra's performance is to denounce the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty."

"What do you think the lower-class people who are suffering from the heavy taxes of the Qin Dynasty would think after watching this kind of performance?"

Ying Zheng frowned and replied, "I feel the same way, and I am beginning to hate Daqin."

Alas~ How come this kid is so skilled in rebellion?

He is quite an expert at rebellion.

Not to mention, if a few such mobile bands appeared in the Qin Dynasty, they would indeed sow the seeds of hatred in the hearts of the people, causing the Qin Dynasty to gradually lose the support of the people.

When someone raises the banner of rebellion, the seeds in the hearts of the people will sprout and they may respond to the rebellion.

But now I know this method.

I'll go back and order a thorough investigation into the existence of such mobile orchestras in various places.

"So I want to recruit her and create various dramas for her to denounce the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty."

Ying Zheng asked, "So you have already thought of the plot of the play?"

"more or less."

"Oh, tell me what you think."

Ying Zheng wanted to know what story Zhao Yi had come up with to describe the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty.

"Okay, let me tell you a story. It's called 'Meng Jiangnu Crying at the Great Wall'"
