Perhaps because he didn't expect Ying Zheng to ask such a question, Ran Fang still found it a bit unbelievable. In his opinion, Ying Zheng must be happy to see this happen.
But after thinking about it, he understood Ying Zheng's worries. After all, he had handed over the salt industry before. Although he handed it over voluntarily, no one knew Ying Zheng's intention.
Now that he has handed over the factory in his hands, he has not received the slightest benefit from the government. This is indeed unreasonable.
But Ran Fang also understood that Ying Zheng must be wary of him.
Now that he takes the initiative, he will not only be able to use the money-making methods in his hands, but also allow those nobles to pay taxes. The most important thing is that it will not cause them to riot. For Ying Zheng, it is simply killing three birds with one stone.
Because of this, Ying Zheng will also worry about forcing himself in this way. If he has complaints in his heart and is unwilling to work for Da Qin anymore, that is not what Ying Zheng wants to see.
Thinking about it, Ran Fang showed a look of relief on his face. He looked at Ying Zheng and said in a very firm tone: "I have made my decision. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"Money is a personal thing. As long as it can benefit the Qin Dynasty, I can give away all the money in my hands."
"Besides, if officials in the DPRK are engaged in business, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Qin Dynasty. If other officials follow suit, it will not be a good thing for the people and merchants."
"Human desires are unlimited. If they are allowed to develop, it will definitely cause unpredictable consequences."
Ying Zheng agreed with the last sentence, especially when Ran Fang said that it was indeed not a good thing for officials to do business.
He suddenly thought of Zhang Han's breakfast shop. Isn't this also where officials do business?
"That makes sense."
"Then according to you, Zhang Han's breakfast shop shouldn't be run by him?"
Ran Fang glanced at Ying Zheng, and it made sense. He indeed thought so.
"If His Majesty is willing, this would be the best thing."
"Now that things at the breakfast shop are on the right track, it can be considered as an experience for everyone, as long as what this breakfast shop does and how to make breakfast."
"If we leave it to others to do it, nothing will go wrong, and we can give an explanation to the people."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
You must know that among the officials in the DPRK, only Meng Yi and Zhang Han completely obeyed Ying Zheng, so Ying Zheng never thought of restricting what they did.
However, when he heard Ran Fang's suggestion, Ying Zheng was still a little touched, but he did not agree directly.
"I will consider this matter."
"You have made such a big sacrifice, but no matter what reward you want, I can satisfy you!"
During this period of time, Ran Fang came up with so many ideas, and any of them could be a favor for himself.
It's just that he didn't do those things himself after all, and Ying Zheng didn't think about it, but now that Ran Fang has given up such a big thing, there is no reward, which is a bit unjustifiable.
Ran Fang thought for a while, looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Just when Ying Zheng thought that Ran Fang had nothing to ask for, he heard Ran Fang say: "I want the right to recruit troops from the Imperial Guard's Mansion."
Wei Liang, who had been standing in the corner, broke out in cold sweat when he heard this and almost knelt down accidentally. This Ran Fang was challenging Ying Zheng's authority!
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's aura changed. Recruiting troops was tantamount to treason!
The imperial aura that filled his body made Wei Liang's legs begin to tremble under the pressure, and he finally couldn't hold back and knelt down.
No one looked at him. Ying Zheng looked straight at Ran Fang, as if he wanted to see what he wanted in his heart.
"Ran Fang, do you know what you are talking about?!"
But Ran Fang's face remained calm and his heart did not beat. He continued to explain: "Your Majesty personally sealed the Imperial Guard's Mansion, but the guards were all those who were in Xianyang Prison before, and they only performed the same duties as Xianyang Prison. "
"When I first asked your Majesty to establish a pro-military captain's mansion, what I wanted was to make the Qin Dynasty prosperous and prosperous. I also directly obeyed your Majesty's orders."
"But now there are not enough manpower, and what we can do is limited. We haven't even made any achievements for so long."
"Such a pro-military captain's mansion is not what I have in mind. I want to make the pro-military captain's mansion the fastest sword in His Majesty's hand, so I need to recruit some soldiers."
"I also said before that if we want to do military service, we can also start the experiment from the pro-military captain's mansion. If it is feasible, it can be implemented throughout the Qin Dynasty."
These words dispelled Ying Zheng's doubts, and there was no hint of guilt in his eyes when he looked at Ran Fang. Even when he spoke, he could feel full of sincerity, which was very convincing.
Especially when it comes to military service, it is indeed most appropriate to leave it to Ran Fang.
And what Ran Fang said about "the fastest knife" just now really made Ying Zheng a little excited.
"Okay! I'll do as you say!"
"You will be responsible for the military service, and I will ask Zhang Han to do this with you."
This obviously worried Ran Fang, but Ran Fang didn't care.
The pro-military captain's office reported directly to Ying Zheng. No matter what happened in the process, the ministers of the DPRK and China, including Li Si, had no right to interfere.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After discussing the matter, Wei Liang felt that the aura that was pressing on him was gone. He stood up from the ground tremblingly, carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead, and prayed in his heart that Ran Fang would not do such a thing again.
Otherwise, his little heart won't be able to bear it.
Ying Zheng also acted as if nothing had happened. He looked at Ran Fang with a trace of kindness in his eyes, looking very kind and benevolent.
He calmed down and then asked: "I heard that you are planning to sell the factory to those nobles. Do you have a candidate in mind?"
Ran Fang did not answer directly this time. You must know that although there is only one factory in each of these factories, Ran Fang also said that they can open a factory on their own and it is as big as Daqin, so there are many opportunities to make money.
Not only the nobles in Xianyang City, but also the nobles from all over the country will get involved as long as the government order for nobles to do business comes down. After all, who dislikes having too much money?
By then, these few factories will not be enough for the entire Daqin. Someone will definitely find a way to steal these secrets and build the same factory again.
"This matter... I have no candidate."
"All the things in the factory will be publicized in the future, and they will no longer be the secrets of the imperial court. Your Majesty must be aware of this."
"But when these secrets will be exposed, this matter must be in the hands of His Majesty."
"Therefore, these candidates for buying factories must be carefully selected and tested."
Ying Zheng nodded in approval, there was indeed no problem with this truth.
But the question is, how to choose this candidate?
"Do you have any ideas?"
Ran Fang smiled mysteriously, looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Auction!"
"auctions?"
"Yes," seeing that Ying Zheng didn't understand, Ran Fang continued to explain, "Gather all the rich nobles together, put the factory contracts on it, and let them bid."
“The highest bidder gets it.”
