Xiao He stood up and looked out the window.
"We just thought, he has implemented the plan."
"Ahem..."
Cao Xiu smiled awkwardly beside him. He would think so much just because he knew the direction of history. But Xiao He and Cao Shen were different. They completely analyzed the current situation and thought of this.
If you think about it carefully, it's actually quite normal. Xiao He is such a capable minister. With his talents, it is not a problem to become a county magistrate. However, he has been the chief official of Peixian County for more than ten years. It was obvious that he did not want to be promoted to a higher position.
In addition, after the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Xiao He, Cao Shen and the others were able to follow immediately. It was obvious that I had prepared myself early and was waiting for the opportunity to come!
Cao Xiu is smart, and others are not stupid either.
If you don’t have any skills, how can you fight for the world?
"Shen thinks it's good to maintain the status quo for now." Cao Shen smiled, "What we say about the future of Qin may not be accurate. Maybe one day the first emperor suddenly changed his temper. Or the eldest son Fusu succeeded to the throne. Rest with the people. Therefore, we will continue to be good officials of Qin. At the same time, we can also contact the nobles of the Six Nations in private to plan for the future!"
"good!"
Xiao He nodded in approval and approved very much.
What they are doing now is the three-piece suit of scumbag men, who are irresponsible, refuse and take no initiative. At the same time, if both parties lay treasures, neither will be offended. If the Qin State is powerful, then they are Qin officials, and they can naturally protect the clan's prosperity. If the nobles of the Six Kingdoms could really overthrow Qin, they would also benefit from early contact.
This kind of operation has actually been common since ancient times. As the saying goes, an iron-clad family is a flowing dynasty. No matter the dynasties change and the current situation is turbulent, the aristocratic families with high surnames can always maintain their prosperity and even have a very high status.
"This matter depends on Xiu'er."
"I?"
"Why, didn't you do it a long time ago?"
"Ahem!"
Cao Xiu was embarrassed and silent. They were all old foxes after all!
Over the years, he has also come into contact with some nobles from the Six Kingdoms, such as Qin Jia from Donghai County, the future King Zhao Xie, Wei Wang Jiu, Tian Heng who has five hundred dead men following him... Not to mention how good the relationship is, at least he is Have contact with each other.
"Show, you will definitely live up to your mission!"
Cao Xiu raised his hand and bowed to express his stance.
At the same time, a huge stone was dropped in my heart. Since Xiao He and Cao participated in what he thought, this matter would be much simpler. From now on, they can work together for great things, and when the time is right, they can take over the world!
…
…
The next day, early morning.
As soon as Qin Shihuang opened his eyes, he saw Cao Xiu sitting inside. Without saying a word, he silently sharpened a bronze dagger, picking it up and blowing on it from time to time.
"There are assassins!!!"
Qin Shihuang suddenly exclaimed subconsciously.
Wang Jian's movements were extremely crisp and clean. He jumped off the bed, drew his sword and looked around!
"Forehead?"
Cao Xiu looked at the two of them with questions on his face.
"Are you two... okay?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Sharpen the knife, this dagger is getting rusty."
"Why are you sharpening your knife here?"
"I'm just scaring you."
"..."
"..."
Wang Jian's teeth were itching with hatred, and he became addicted to cheating. He didn't expect Cao Xiu to be so honest and without any cover-up!
In fact, the main reason is that they are too tired and relaxed. Before he was about to let go, Cao Xiu woke up as soon as he opened the door. Especially Qin Shihuang, he was a very light sleeper and would wake up if there was any disturbance.
"Get up and eat quickly, there are still things to do today."
Cao Xiu said as he pulled away the floor tiles.
In front of the two of them, he went straight down.
"Xiu'er!!!"
Wang Jian exclaimed, is this authentic? !
Is this the world of the strong?
The morning meal is roasted potatoes, dipped in some green salt. Pair it with a bowl of fried rice porridge, which is appetizing and filling. Even Qin Shihuang, who was always picky, was full of praise for this.
"I never thought that this potato could be used as a staple food."
"I ate three and felt a little full."
Wang Jian also immediately echoed. After rejuvenating, his food intake also decreased. But these potatoes are indeed good and can be eaten as a staple food.
"Are you all full?"
"full!"
"Then I'll accept this roast chicken."
"???"
"Burn...roast chicken?!"
Cao Xiu pulled out a roast chicken like a magic trick.
The outside is wrapped in lotus leaves and exudes a tangy fragrance.
Wang Jian swallowed his saliva, his face full of regret.
Is this something humans do? !
Cao Xiu ate while walking, and his mouth was full of oil.
"So, Azheng, have you learned?"
Qin Shihuang stopped and stood with his hands behind his back.
"You want to tell us that no matter what we do, we must leave room for room. We cannot only value the immediate interests and ignore the future benefits, otherwise we will regret it by then."
"Yeah!"
Wang Jian nodded in agreement.
The emperor deserves to be an emperor, and his ability to understand is strong!
"wrong!"
"Wrong again?!"
"I'm telling you, don't act like a grabber when eating from now on, otherwise you won't be able to eat even if you have delicious food!"
Cao Xiu, who had not eaten for several days, took a big bite of the chicken leg in anger. Every time these two scammers go out to eat, they are like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey. Cao Xiu could understand it at first, after all, he hadn't had a full meal in several days. But if it's like this, it's not normal.
"..."
"I didn't say anything..."
Qin Shihuang looked very unhappy.
He thought Cao Xiu had any great ideas, but this is what happened? !
"What are you going to do with us this time?"
"There is something you must do."
"???"
Wang Jian frowned, feeling something was wrong.
Don’t think too much, it’s definitely not a good thing!
…
After passing through Surabaya, you will come to a dense jungle. Looking from a distance, you can see the smoke rising from the kitchen, and you can also smell some pungent smell.
"Pan, I have met Shaojun."
While walking, a young man appeared and bowed.
"No need to be polite, just take us there."
"Go this way."
Pan is a native of Sishuiting and was originally an Orion. Later, Cao Xiu felt that his talents could not be wasted, so he took them for his own use. He is responsible for patrolling and guarding the jungle, and if there is any danger, he will immediately sound the alarm.
Not long after walking, they arrived at their destination.
Qin Shihuang stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
The wooden house is extremely spacious, with at least several acres of land. There were people coming and going inside, and everything was extremely busy. Some push wooden carts filled with yellow-brown coarse salt that looks like rocks. Others were carrying firewood, and several giant cauldrons were burning with blazing fires. There are also various utensils that even Qin Shihuang couldn't name.
There are at least dozens of people working here!
"Hahaha, Xiu'er is finally here!"
"How about taking a look at this freshly made fine salt?"
A middle-aged man walked out of his house.
Holding a clay pot in his hand, he had a smile on his face.
Cao Xiu raised his hands and bowed.
"I've met my adopted brother."
"Don't be too polite. I hate these etiquettes the most."
Wang Ling waved his hand heartily and boldly.
The look in Cao Xiu's eyes was extremely satisfying.
Cao Xiu is quite good at getting things done!
