In Shangjun Courtyard, the craftsman saw Li Shui out of breath: "Sir, sir. Someone on the mobile phone wants to buy a compass, one hundred and seven."
Li Shui was overjoyed: "I didn't expect that so many rich people are ready to send people to the sea. Whoever said that China does not pay attention to the ocean, or who said that China is an introverted civilization, are all nonsense. This north needle is proof!"
The craftsman laughed dryly and asked, "Sir, do we have so many compasses?"
Li Shui asked his friend, "How many compasses do we have?"
Wu Jiao said: "Only one hundred and eight have been made now."
Li Shui said: "Isn't it just right to sell it to them?" x
The craftsman asked again: "What if the rest of the people still want to buy?"
Li Shui smiled and said, "Then let them wait. The gold-covered compass will be made soon, very soon."
The craftsman responded and rushed to Xianyang City with two large bags of compasses.
A quarter of an hour later, the compass was clear. The craftsman ordered people to drive eleven carts to Shangjun Courtyard. Zhou Gui returned to his home with two large bags of compasses.
After settling everything, Zhou Gui spent a lot of money to buy some news. According to students who are studying in Shangjun Courtyard, Shangjun Courtyard seems to be preparing a gold-covered compass.
Zhou Gui was completely relieved and waited for his fortune with a smile.
In the palace, Ying Zheng was checking a list. This list contains anti-thief information distributed in Xianyang City.
This was provided by Li Shui. There are Xiang Chao, Xiang Bo and Jing Fu on the list.
Everyone Li Shui knew was recorded. And their rebellious tendencies are thoughtfully marked on it.
For example, Xiang Chao belongs to the level of a rebel, while Jing Sui can be regarded as one of his own.
The daily activities of these rebels are also recorded. Including who they met.
As a result, Ying Zheng looked around and found that Ji Ming had close contacts with these rebels.
Ying Zheng sneered: This guy Ji Ming is everywhere.
It happened that Ji Ming was on duty today, and he was standing not far away with a respectful look on his face.
Ying Zheng put down the list and asked Ji Ming with a half-smile, "You often walk outside the palace and have a wide circle of friends."
Ji Ming couldn't figure out what Ying Zheng meant by his words, so he said vaguely: "My slave, I know a few people."
Ying Zheng added: "What news is there outside the palace now? Let's hear it."
Ji Ming thought for a while: This is a rare opportunity. If we don't sue Huai Guzi, wouldn't it be wasted?
Now Ji Ming can be said to be scheming. He knows how to complain without causing offence. It is absolutely impossible to frame others falsely. The most brilliant way to complain is to praise others and dress yourself up as a good person. Let the emperor discover on his own that something is wrong.
So Ji Ming coughed dryly and said: "Recently, there is a big news in Xianyang City. People on the streets are saying that the banished immortal has done a great good deed. He has developed an immortal tool called the Compass. It can be used at any time , indicate the direction.”
"In this way, the ship will not get lost on the vast sea."
Ying Zheng exclaimed and said, "This is somewhat similar to the compass made by the Yellow Emperor in the past."
Ji Ming said: "Yes. Not only that, this compass is given to anyone who plans to go to sea for free, without taking any money."
Ying Zheng was even more surprised: "Huai Guzi is so generous."
Ji Ming bowed and said, "Yes. I banished the immortal to do good deeds and accumulated virtue, and I admire him very much."
Ying Zheng also glanced at Ji Ming with some surprise: This person actually said good things about Huaiguzi. Could it be that he was beaten once a day? He was afraid of being beaten.
Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head. Suddenly, he said with some doubts: "This matter is a bit strange. What should happen if someone pretends to go to sea and defrauds Huaiguzi's compass?"
Ji Ming was very happy: "Your Majesty really asked this."
Ji Ming said respectfully: "I don't know much about this. I think the Exalted Immortal has his own way of distinguishing it."
Ying Zheng gave a faint hum and continued to read the memorial.
But this strange thing made Ying Zheng think more and more wrong. He waved his hand to ask Ji Ming to retreat, and then called Si Tu.
Ying Zheng said to Si Tu: "Recently, Huai Guzi has made something called the Compass. Have you heard about it?"
Si Dou said: "My servant has heard about it and just found out about it."
Ying Zheng said: "This compass is really given away for free."
Si Dou said: "The compass is given free of charge. But this compass is embedded in a medal. This medal costs one million yuan."
Ying Zheng: ""
He was both angry and funny at the same time: "So, this compass actually sells for one million yuan."
Si Dou said: "Exactly."
Ying Zheng stood up and shook his head: "This Huaiguzi keeps saying that he wants to encourage people to go to sea, but in the end, this compass has to be sold for one million yuan. Isn't it very expensive to make this thing?"
Si Dou thought for a moment and said, "My slave just glanced at it from a distance. The thing was very small and shaped like a needle. I don't know how much gold and silver it took to make this thing."
Ying Zheng said: "Go and call Huaiguzi. Let him bring his compass."
Si Dou responded and went to call someone.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Shui arrived.
Ying Zheng said to Li Shui: "I heard that you made an immortal weapon that can indicate the direction."
Li Shuigan laughed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and every move I make cannot escape His Majesty's eyes."
Ying Zheng said: "This thing can be patented."
Li Shui said: "Yes."
Ying Zheng said: "Then I don't know how to make this thing."
Li Shui said: "According to logic, the principles will not be announced until a year later. However, His Majesty is the son of God. How can he be equal to a mortal? You can naturally know it."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, Li Shui also guessed that Ying Zheng called him here, probably because he wanted to find out what happened to the compass. So Li Shui brought two magnets.
He placed the magnet on the table and demonstrated the north and south poles.
Ying Zheng was amazed when he saw it: "This thing is quite interesting."
Li Shui took out another globe. This globe was made by someone from Xiangli Zhudai. Because of my limited understanding of the world, only the territory of Great Qin is drawn here, and the rest are omitted. Either the vast sea, or the long stretches of yellow sand.
However, this did not delay Li Shui's demonstration of the North and South Pole.
After Li Shui explained, Ying Zheng said with an eye-opening look: "I see. No wonder your compass can point to the north."
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui's compass and said, "So, your compass won't cost much money to make."
Li Shui said smoothly: "A dozen and a half taels is enough."
Ying Zheng's expression turned solemn: "You actually sold a million-yuan high-priced locust millet at a cost of a dozen and a half taels. You are very brave."
Li Shui explained aggrievedly: "This compass is given away for free. Every time one is given away, I have to pay a dozen and a half taels. As for the one million, it is the price of the medal."
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "Don't make excuses. You are taking the opportunity to make money, how can you hide it from me?"
Li Shui smiled bitterly.
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "You go and make some compasses. Just point north and south. Don't have any words like Warriors of the Qin Dynasty. For the price, fifty yuan is enough. I won't let you lose money." "
Li Shui was about to cry: "Your Majesty, I have sold more than a hundred compasses worth one million yuan. Now I suddenly start buying compasses worth fifty yuan. Then the people who bought them before will go crazy."
Ying Zheng was slightly stunned and said, "Then just return the extra money to them."
Li Shui shook his head repeatedly: "I can't do it. If this happens, Shangjun Courtyard will no longer be able to do business in the future. There is no faith in changing orders day and night. What's more, the one million yuan is not the sales of the Compass. The price is the selling price of the medal. If the medal can be returned at will, then the word honor will be worthless in the future."
Ying Zheng felt that Li Shui's reasoning was a bit crooked. He thought for a while and said: "However, a million-dollar compass is really not good for our Daqin to explore overseas. If it were for other things, I would not be able to do anything. I asked. However, this matter is too involved."
Li Shui did the math and found that he had sold more than a hundred of those high-priced compasses and made more than 100 million. The goal has been achieved.
So he said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I heard from the craftsmen that all those who buy the compass are merchants. As for the courtiers, not yet."
Ying Zheng asked: "Why are there no courtiers?"
Li Shuigan laughed and said: "My lords, I have some opinions on this. I have been waiting and watching. But in the end, they will definitely buy it."
"Just now Cai Chen thought of a way. How about your majesty hold a banquet in the palace to entertain the merchants who bought the high-priced compass."
"The merchants only spent one million dollars to get the opportunity to see the emperor. They will definitely be ecstatic, not to mention the banquet in the palace."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "However, the merchants and residents are at the bottom of the four peoples. If I see them, wouldn't it encourage the people to do business?"
Li Shuigan laughed and said, "Your Majesty, this year's taxes and merchants have paid a lot of money."
Ying Zheng thought about it and found that this was indeed the case. Since Huaiguzi advocated no longer suppressing merchants and levying a business tax, the imperial court had a lot of money and could calmly provide relief to the victims and carry out some major projects.
Ying Zheng said to Li Shui: "That's it, just this once."
Li Shui responded.
Ying Zheng then said to Li Shui: "However, farming has always been the foundation of a country. Gold and silver are not suitable for clothing, and hunger cannot be eaten. Once there is a shortage of food, no matter how much money the court has, it will be useless."
Li Shui said: "Yes, the previous promotion of the field method has increased the world's food by several percent. After the Xiongnu was defeated, the cattle and horses in the north were distributed to the people of the Central Plains. One cow was worth dozens of people. They reclaimed wasteland and cultivated it intensively. This increased the food supply by several percent. The imperial court was financially wealthy, built water conservancy projects, and provided relief to the poor and weak, which increased the food supply by several percent."
"Nowadays, the people's risk of famine is getting smaller and smaller. And my Shangjun Courtyard is still researching new methods to continue to increase production, but there is no result yet."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "Just keep this in mind. When you go back, tell the merchants that I will see them tomorrow."
Li Shui responded and left happily.
After Li Shui left, Ying Zheng suddenly felt something in his heart: In the past, Huaiguzi often used Fu Yao's name to use some money to give some benefits to the people and make them grateful. I helped them save nearly a million dollars today. Why don't you let them know?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng said to the young eunuch beside him: "Go and post a notice outside the palace and say it is my order."
Within half an hour, everyone in Xianyang City got the news: His Majesty took pity on the merchants and people, so he specially took out money from the palace and jointly developed a compass without medals with the banished immortal. The price is fifty yuan each. . Will be sold soon.
The people were shocked: from one million yuan to fifty yuan. It has dropped by tens of thousands of times.
Those who didn't buy the compass were naturally ecstatic, and those who did almost went crazy.
Although they were afraid of the power of banishing immortals, they still angrily went to Shangjun Courtyard and demanded an explanation from Li Shui.
Among them, Zhou Gui was the most excited.
Zhou Gui's eyes were red and he looked like he wanted to eat someone.
I spent 10 million yuan and bought more than 100 compasses. Now in the blink of an eye, the compass dropped to fifty dollars
Just at this time, the craftsman from Shangjun Courtyard came out and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, everyone. How can banishing an immortal cause you to suffer in vain?"
The merchants felt a little more at ease, and then asked: "So, the banished immortal is willing to refund the money."
The craftsman said: "How can I refund the money to buy a deal?"
The merchants went crazy again: "This is not gambling, why do you want to buy it and leave?" x
The craftsman coughed dryly and said, "The banished immortal said a few words of praise for you in front of His Majesty, saying that you are willing to spend one million dollars to explore overseas for our Great Qin. You are truly a warrior of the Great Qin."
"After His Majesty heard this, Long Yan was delighted and decided to hold a banquet in the palace to entertain you. During the banquet, you will be officially given the title of Great Qin Warrior."
When the merchants heard this, they were immediately elated.
To be honest, most people who can spend a million dollars to buy a compass are wealthy people. This million dollars will not break their muscles and bones.
I can use one million dollars to buy the opportunity to meet His Majesty, buy the opportunity to have a banquet with His Majesty, and buy the opportunity for His Majesty to personally bestow the title of Great Qin Warrior. value! So worth it!
Such a great honor cannot be bought with any amount of money.
What's more, if I have such an experience, my future business operations will definitely be much smoother. If nothing else, I have met His Majesty, so those small officials don't dare to embarrass themselves too much.
Therefore, the merchants all bowed to Shang Jun's courtyard with tears of gratitude: "Thank you for your great kindness."
These merchants all whispered to each other and said with emotion: "There is nothing wrong with following the banished immortal."
A quarter of an hour ago, their intestines were turning green with regret. A quarter of an hour later, I was glad that my decision was wise enough. The one who should regret now is probably the merchant who didn’t buy the compass. After all, they missed the chance to see His Majesty.
Zhou Gui was about to faint. He trembled and asked the craftsman: "I"
The craftsman recognized Zhou Gui, a big customer, and quickly raised his hand politely: "Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Zhou Gui said in a low voice: "I have more compasses, can you return some of them?"
The craftsman said in confusion: "Why should I return it to His Majesty? It is a great honor. Do you want to abandon this honor? Your Majesty will be very unhappy if you know about it."
"You don't want the title of Great Qin Warrior anymore. Do you want the imperial court to confer you the title of Great Qin Coward?"
Zhou Gui wiped the cold sweat on his head: "I, I don't want to return everything. I only need a compass. The rest I want to return to the banished immortal."
The craftsman said: "Why do you think His Majesty's banquet is only worth one million dollars?"
Zhou Gui was about to cry. From what the craftsman said, he would not refund the money no matter what.
While he was at a loss, he heard a horse neighing behind him.
Zhou Gui turned around and saw Wang Wan getting out of the carriage with a pale face.
Zhou Gui cried out in a tearful tone: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister."
Wang Wan rounded her arms and gave him a big mouthful.
Zhou Gui's eyes flashed with stars as he spun and fell to the ground. He thought painfully in his heart: The Prime Minister's news came so quickly. He already knew it.
