Ying Zheng preferred living during the warring states period rather than his previous timeline.
During the warring states period and the Qin dynasty period, people respected strength overall. If they saw you were weak they would bully then abandon you.
During the warring states period and the Qin dynasty period, people respected strength and hated weakness that is why they lived a more fulfilling life. You could say their motto was what does not kill you makes you stronger.
The people of future generations are weak they can only live in a group they were lied to by politicians businessmen and influencers. They were told and forced to love the weak. Weakness only breads weakness and a lion father can not give birth to a dog son. If your son is weak it is either you were too soft and free with them. A son needs to know the position of his father and not speak as friends with his father.
They even went so far as to stop and discourage parents from beating their own children.
When parents were told not to beat their child it reached the point where children were are saying "I identify as a dog or a chair." or even worse yet some blinded themselves because they thought they should be born blind or use a wheelchair. After all, they thought they should be born crippled.
That was the result of capitalism and freedom. Humans are not supposed to be free. The human mind is just too creative and comes up with the smartest idea or the most foolish idea.
Ying Zheng was an avid legalist because it is strict and can lead a nation to greatness but people can not see that but that is understandable but why would people choose capitalism over socialism since socialists are taking from the rich and giving to the poor? Socialism is providing for the lower class but they are convinced that capitalism is better for them since they have a chance of reaching the top.
Ying Zheng always found humans funny you are probably going to work under someone who is going to withhold your money or add agreements you do not know about. But as a whole capitalism makes the rich richer and the poor poorer but you find a billion people for the chance to go above the poor and the middle class and among those billion you will find a thousand amongst become nouveau riche.
Nouveau riche are not really accepted by the higher class. Ying Zheng appreciated the warring states since he got the position of a general easily and expected him to rise higher after all heroes can only be born during an era of war bloodshed and death. During peaceful times heroes are considered madmen trouble makers and outlaws.
During the next few days, Ying Zheng met his wife to be Infront of her parents and Ying Zheng had to give it to Zhang Lu she was shy beautiful and a virgin, or at least that is what Zhang Lu told him. He said she never left the house to even go to the market and her teachers were teaching her together with her other sisters and brothers.
Ying Zheng did not care whether she was a virgin or not all he cared about was the power and prestige she brought first and foremost and her beauty. He believed his dick was top even amongst Africans considering it was around twenty-two to twenty-three centimeters and he was still eighteen years old. A man should be confident in what he has after all you are pleasuring yourself first and foremost and think about the woman if your ego gets the better of you. All in all hit and run.
At some point, the day before the King's celebration Ying Zheng was alone with Zhang Lu at night under the clear skies of Xianyang.
Ying Zheng and Zhang Lu stayed for a while not talking until Ying Zheng interrupted the mood something was killing him inside and he could not ask it in public or before he was promoted to general. Why did the prime minister of Qin himself want to have a son-in-law like him even great generals and the royal family would want to be his inlaws but why choose an upstart like Ying Zheng with no reputation?
"Sir I hope you know I am forever grateful for your support kindness generosity and patronage but why do you wa..."
But before Ying Zheng could finish his question Zhang Lu cut him off and said "Why are you playing around the bush? I am too old for that but I guess you want to know why chose you right? there are three main points first is because the astrologer said that there was a person with a great destiny and a bright future coming to Yong city with an army of surrendered men. That is how I was coincidentally present at Yong city when you came."
Hearing this even Ying Zheng was surprised by this. Ying Zheng coming from the future knew that stars did not dictate anyone's destiny and even he could at best be partially suspicious not trusting them but not distrusting them. Even if science did prove it was wrong it was not like Ying Zheng could trust other people considering the propaganda of that time. Ying Zheng also knew that being too distrusting was just as bad as being too trusting and the middle part was just as bad if not worse so he believed it when it said good things about him and abandoned it when it didn't.
'But this astrologer did just prove himself. hmm! wait he could have spy, hmm but that does not make any sense let me think about it later.
Seeing the suspicious look in Ying Zheng's eyes Zhang Lu sneered and said "hmph do you distrust him that astrologer is the reason why I was able to make it to this position? Oh before I forget he wants to meet you before you leave Xianyang hahaha perhaps he will tell you about your future hahaha. That aside."
Zhang Lu then continued "Now to the second point. You are charismatic and smart although you are not on my level yet at your age I could not compare myself to you and you have your whole life ahead of you if I am not mistaken you are twenty seven years old right?"
Hearing this Ying Zheng nodded and said "Yes sir but what about the third reason?" Ying Zheng asked puzzled.
Hearing this Zhang Lu laughed and got up and said while moving forward"Hahaha I think I will keep that one to myself hahaha alright it is cold let us go back do not be so dazed."
Hearing this Ying Zheng also laughed got himself together and catched up with Zhang Lu.
