Chapter 132 Ying Zheng: I have a good thing for you
Zhang Han heard this and immediately said excitedly: "Then Mr. Youlao will make this gliding kite as soon as possible. I can't wait."
"Sir, can we also enjoy the feeling of flying in the sky?" Principal Li asked.
Young Master Gao and Meng Chongde looked at Qin An expectantly.
Qin An smiled and said: "Of course, after I finish making it, I will let you fly to the sky one by one. Now work."
"promise."
…
On the carriage, Hu Hai knelt in front of Ying Zheng and apologized: "Father, my son was at fault. I should not have listened to Zhao Gao's words. He murdered his brother and killed all his brothers and sisters. Please forgive him."
Ying Zheng said with a gloomy face: "Your sins don't stop there. The foundation of the Sixth Generation of Qin Dynasty and the world that I finally unified have been completely destroyed by you in just three years.
If the ancestors find out, they will probably skin you and cramp you, and it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in their hearts. "
"Yes, yes, please calm down your anger and spare me this time." Hu Hai said immediately.
Fusu said: "Father, please spare the eighteenth brother this time. After all, the incident did not happen, and the eighteenth brother did not make a mistake.
With the guidance of my husband, my eighteenth brother will not become the person he was in history. "
Jiang Lu said: "Brother, you are too kind."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Indeed, Fusu, you are too kind. I am very worried that after my death, you will not be able to intimidate the ministers of the DPRK."
"Father, don't worry. Sir said there are so many talents. We only need to recruit a few to assist my brother. Da Qin will only get better and better." Jiang Lu said.
"Father, please rest assured." Fusu said, "When I return to Xianyang, I will go to Peixian County. First, I will invite Xiao He to help me, and then I will go to Huaiyin to find Han Xin."
Qin An nodded and said: "After I go back, I will confirm your position as the crown prince. As long as I die, you will be the emperor. No one can stop me. You must also work hard and never do it because of my actions." He handed over a false edict and chose to commit suicide."
"My son, I obey the decree." Fusu responded.
Hu Hai knelt aside, his face full of embarrassment. It was all caused by him.
Ying Zheng glanced at Hu Hai angrily and said, "I forgive you this time, but your character needs to change. From today on, I don't care who hears bad things about you.
Huh, you should be very clear about the consequences. "
Hu Hai immediately said: "My son will definitely change, and I also ask my father to promise my son one thing."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "How dare you make demands of me?"
"No, no, no, I don't dare. I only want Zhao Gao and his people. Zhao Gao caused all this, so I hope that my father will leave the matter of dealing with Zhao Gao to me." Hu Hai said immediately.
Ying Zheng nodded slowly and said, "That's fine, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Thank you, father." Hu Hai immediately thanked him.
"Get up."
"promise."
…
After returning to Chang'an, Li Si and Feng Quji reported to Ying Zheng on their work in the past few days.
After everything was over, Ying Zheng asked: "Feng Quji, I heard that Zhao Gao went to find you and held you hostage. Are you okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine. This is all thanks to Lord Meng Yi and General Wang Ben. Otherwise, I may never see Your Majesty again." Feng Quji burst into tears as he spoke, as if he really couldn't see Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "I have made you suffer, I have a good deed for you to do."
"No matter what your Majesty orders, I am willing to serve your Majesty till the end of my life." Feng Quji said.
Li Si on the side cursed in his heart: Old fox.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said: "I have obtained the method of making the Four Treasures of the Study, and have given it to Li Si. Now I have obtained the method of making refined salt."
Immediately, Ying Zheng took out a pack of salt. The snow-white salt made both Feng Quji and Li Si's eyes widen.
"Is this salt?" Feng Quji said tremblingly.
"You can have a taste, Li Si, you can have a taste too."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Quji and Li Si said at the same time.
Immediately, both of them dipped their fingers into a little salt and put it into their mouths. The salty taste immediately filled their taste buds. They wanted to spit it out, but they didn't dare to do such a rude thing because of the victory in front of them, so they could only swallow it.
But at this time, they could clearly confirm that this was salt, and the salt as white as snow was worth thousands of pounds.
"Your Majesty, where did the salt in your hands come from?" Feng Quji asked in surprise.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Of course it was made by a strange person. The good thing I am talking about is this salt. I will tell you how to make this refined salt, and it will be sold in Chang'an. The price will be set at thirty cents per catty."
"So cheap?" Feng Quji said in surprise, "Your Majesty, the salt sold in the market now costs fifty cents per catty."
"I know." Ying Zheng said, "I think fifty cents per catty is a burden to the people. Many people can't afford it. Moreover, the salt has too many impurities and is not good for people. Green salt is too expensive. People can't even afford it.
This can be attributed to improper salt production methods.
Now I have obtained the method of making salt from a strange person. I can easily extract such refined salt from sea water, brine salt and well salt. The method is so simple that you may not be able to imagine it.
That's why I decided to lower the price of salt. This is the price at which I have not calculated the cost. If the cost of making salt is relatively low, the price of salt will also be lower.
Feng Quji, this is a good thing I want you to do. I will give you the method of making salt, and let you, the Feng family, build workshops and conduct business.
The court will not be involved, but you have to hand over half of the profits to strange people. At the same time, taxation cannot be reduced. As the Right Prime Minister, you must not test the law by yourself. "
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely lead by example and will never test the law by myself." Feng Quji said.
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded, "Do you want to accept this method of making salt?"
"Old minister, I took it. Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Feng Quji said,
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "I will give you three years, and after three years I will make this method of making salt public, so you must manage well in these three years.
I hope that in three years' time, even if someone competes with you, you can still win, but I hope you can win in an honest way. "
"No." Feng Quji responded.
But in his heart, he had no idea what Ying Zheng was thinking, but he didn't dare to ask.
Ying Zheng immediately handed over the method of making salt and the refined salt in his hand to Feng Quji, and then let him go down.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said, "Don't you understand why I want to hand over your salt-making method to Feng Quji instead of you?"
"I don't dare." Li Si immediately lowered his head.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Don't you think the salaries of those nobles are a little too much?"
