The Cao family's mansion is not very luxurious, but it is not easy to find in Peixian County. After all, these days, people with surnames and surnames are all wealthy ancestors. Usually people in Guizhou only have first names at most, where does the surname come from?

Wang Jian was secretly happy and was already making plans.

Cao Xiu pushed open the heavy wooden door and walked in.

There are willow trees planted in the courtyard, and there is also a pond. The water is clear, and you can see fish playing. There are also two yellow dogs wagging their tails and coming up to please them. They immediately bared their teeth after seeing the stranger.

Cao Xiu waved his hand, and the yellow dog left knowingly.

"I've met Shaojun."

The maids came closer and bowed in salute.

"Take these two beggars to the backyard first to take a bath and change their clothes. Then let the cook prepare more food and two plates of meat."

"Wei."

The maid raised her hand and excused herself, leading the two of them away.

……

When the two of them washed up and changed into clothes, they seemed to have an aristocratic air. Especially the child who had fainted from hunger, looked even more impressive. Every gesture and gesture carried a condescending power.

Sitting on the chair, looking at Cao Xiu.

"Xiu'er, are you the only one who lives in this house?"

Qin Shihuang swayed from side to side on the bamboo chair. This thing is really strange, and the creaking is interesting. He has never seen it in Xianyang.

I heard the servant mention it, it seems that it was Cao Xiu’s idea?

He is a clever young man!

It is indeed very comfortable to sit on it, much better than kneeling on a straw mat, but it is a bit cool under the crotch and not very nice.

Cao Xiu looked at the little beggar and nodded with a smile.

After all, they are just children, and it is normal to be playful.

"Where are your parents?"

"How many of the protagonists in Starting Point are not orphans?"

"Spread?!"

Qin Shihuang's face was full of question marks.

Why can't he understand this?

Cao Xiu sighed, too lazy to explain.

Eighteen years ago, he was born in Dang County. It was the time of the Warring States Period, and he lived a homeless life. His mother had a dystocia when giving birth to him, which caused the disease. His father traveled around all year round, doing business.

Later... he died.

Later, due to the war, he moved to Pei County to settle down. He relied on the help of distant relatives to survive. You must know that the Cao family is well-known in Pei County, which is slightly worse than the Xiao family.

Cao Xiu's cousin, the future famous Cao Xiangguo, Cao Shen, was the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty. After Liu Bang established his capital in Chang'an, he rewarded Cao Shen based on his merits. Cao Shen ranked second in merit and was given the title of Marquis of Pingyang!

The so-called Xiao Gui and Cao Sui refer to Cao Shen.

After that, Cao Xiu started to do some small business. With the support of Cao family, he made a little money.

The year before last, the Qin State annexed the world and recruited local officials. Cao Xiu successfully passed the examination and was appointed as the pavilion chief of Surabaya. Yes, it was the same position that Liu Bang had held in history. However, in that examination, he beat Liu Bang.

To be precise, his name should be Liu Ji now.

With money, Cao Xiu did not forget his late mother's last wish. Sometimes he would also provide money to support the refugees when he met them. There was a severe drought in the world before, and countless people sold their sons and daughters. In fact, they were not willing to part with it, but they did not sell, and the whole family

They all have to starve to death!

It's better to sell it to Cao, at least you can survive.

Moreover, Cao Xiu was famous for treating his slaves well. Not only did he have three meals a day, he also had wages. Even if he did something wrong, he would only be scolded. Neighbors in Peixian County often said, go to Cao Mansion to do it

Life is not about suffering, it is about enjoying happiness.

Therefore, Cao Xiucai was willing to help these two little beggars.

For him, it was just a matter of effort.

Of course, he is also preparing for the future.

Soon, the world will be in chaos. He is now helping the poor and adopting orphans just to gain a good reputation. At the same time, he is also trying to accumulate strength!

These orphans will become loyal soldiers in the future!

After the death of the First Emperor, it will be time for him to come out!

Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind!

Liu Bang can be the emperor, why can't he?

Liu Bang was from Peixian County, and so was he!

Liu Bang was the pavilion chief, and so was he!

Moreover, Cao Xiu also knows the future direction of history!

Over the years, he has won over many people. For example, his cousin Cao Shen served as the jailer of Peixian County. His teacher and close friend Xiao He served as the chief official.

His rider Xia Houying served as the stable chief.

And his dog meat friend, Fan Kuai!

His subordinate, the future Jianghou Zhou Bo.

Zhou Bo was born in poverty and made a living by weaving thin music. He often played flute at funerals. Later, he performed well in the military service and became a reserve soldier who could draw a strong bow.

Seeing his outstanding ability, Cao Xiu took him for his own use. He secretly helped to train private soldiers, and he did a pretty good job.

It can be said that he has friends with more than half of the founding heroes of the Western Han Dynasty. These are also the capital for his future rebellion!

·……

"By the way, do you two have famous names?"

"I am Wang Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng."

"I..."

Cao Xiu raised his hand to interrupt the two of them, and immediately became angry.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me! In this case, you can call me Xiao Wang. If you say...just call me Azheng!"

"..."

"..."

Wang Jian doesn't know why, but he always feels weird.

Qin Shihuang had a strange face and remained silent. This title has not been used by anyone for a long time. When he was young, his mother called him A Zheng.

"Also, you kid, please be careful and don't call yourself me every day. It didn't matter if you called yourself me before, after all, anyone can use it. Now that the world has returned to the Qin Dynasty, and the First Emperor calls himself me, can we use it?"

Yes, this was also the order issued two years ago. The title "I" was previously equivalent to "I". For example, Qu Yuan's Li Sao began to call himself "I": Emperor Gaoyang was a descendant of Miao, and I was called Boyong.

Cao Xiu also had this intention in naming the young boy Zheng.

From now on, it’s okay to call myself righteous.

……

"You two will stay here with me for now, and I will give you the entire household registration in two days. You can work in my house and you won't go hungry."

"As for Xianyang... don't think about it yet."

Cao Xiu is not stupid. The journey from Peixian County to Xianyang is less than two thousand miles. And there are no roads these days, and many roads are mountain roads. Even by carriage, it will take at least half a month. If you are unlucky, you encounter a bandit.

, maybe even my life will have to be surrendered.

"That's okay!"

Qin Shihuang was old and arrogant. He had experienced too many storms in his life. He was held hostage by Zhao after he was born and almost died at the age of three. He went through many dangers in order to return to Qin.

He ascended the throne at the age of thirteen and attained the title at the age of twenty.

He killed Lao Ai and deposed Lu Buwei, and put down the Chengyu rebellion.

Finally, destroy the six countries and sweep across the world!

Since he is still alive, it will not collapse that day!

"Gududu..."

The majesty just now was fleeting.

Qin Shihuang looked embarrassed, and Wang Jian next to him stood up knowingly, "I hope you'll forgive me, I just had a stomach growl."

"Stop pretending, can't I hear this voice?" Cao Xiu looked at the two gangsters with disdain and said helplessly, "You're hungry, right?"
