Early the next morning, the First Emperor's study.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
Zhao Hao walked into the study and bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng raised his head and glanced at Zhao Hao, and joked with a smile on his face: "It's so hard for you to hide it from me. With such a magical weapon, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
"My father is aware that the curved shaft plow is only slightly faster than the straight plow, so it is not worth mentioning."
Zhao Hao laughed and said.
This is called faster? A little faster?
Linghu Fan was talking about farming ten acres a day!
Ying Zheng felt that his three views had been shattered.
At that time, he was very excited when he heard what Linghu Fan said, and he believed it to be true. Later, he thought it was impossible, so he had people carry the Quyuan plow to the palace to test it, and the effect was exactly the same.
Before Zhao Hao came, he had already ordered the administration of Su Neishi Mansion, and he must promote this product to Guanzhong, even Bashu and other places before the end of spring plowing.
"Father."
Seeing that Ying Zheng remained silent, Zhao Hao shouted softly.
He didn't want to play riddles with Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng came back to his senses, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then smiled lightly and said:
"Although it is not worth mentioning to you, it is very important to Da Qin. My father has always made clear rewards and punishments. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"Huh? Is there a reward for all this?"
Zhao Hao was surprised for a moment, then winked and said, "Can I say whatever I want?"
"."
Seeing Zhao Hao winking, Ying Zheng always felt that this guy had bad intentions, so he directly changed the subject and said: "You should tell me why you came to me today!"
"ah?"
Zhao Hao was stunned.
"If there's nothing wrong, then go out, I'm going to be busy!"
"No, Father, I have something to do. Didn't you just say you wanted to reward me?"
Ying Zheng put down his teacup with a straight face and said, "Let's talk business first, stop talking nonsense!"
"Oh, okay, my son has started making banknotes and treasury bonds. I want to ask my father to give me some words. I will engrave them on the banknotes and treasury bonds so that all people in the world can pay respect to the First Emperor. The imperial pen."
The main purpose of Zhao Hao's words was actually to hold up the First Emperor's father so that he could respond to his requests.
Of course, it is also a good thing for all people in the world to see the handwriting of the First Emperor.
The head of Guizhou had a natural trust in the banknotes and treasury bonds printed with the First Emperor's handwriting.
This undoubtedly increases the creditworthiness of bank notes and treasury bonds, which is simply a great good thing for bank notes and treasury bonds.
Ying Zheng didn't even raise his eyelids after hearing Zhao Hao's words: "I'm not a master of calligraphy. If you ask for calligraphy, go find someone else. If you can't find it, I can recommend two to you. Li Si and Zhao Gao are both good! "
Zhao Hao had seen the calligraphy of the First Emperor. Although it was not as good as calligraphy masters like Li Si and Zhao Gao, it was definitely not ugly.
But the First Emperor refused to give him any words, leaving him stunned and stunned.
When Ying Zheng saw this, he waved his hands in a funny way: "Tell me, why do you need my words?"
"Oh, there are two reasons for returning to Father."
Zhao Hao came back to his senses and quickly explained: "First of all, my father's calligraphy son has seen it. He can be said to be able to move the clouds and flowing water, and the brushwork is like a dragon and a snake. It is majestic and invincible, and is appreciated by both refined and popular people."
"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to listen, so I'll just say the second thing!"
Ying Zheng interrupted Zhao Hao impatiently.
Although Zhao Hao flattered him very much, but after being in contact with him for a long time, he knew what Zhao Hao was going to do when he stuck out his butt, so he blocked Zhao Hao's butt directly to avoid being knocked out by him. Agree to his request.
"Father, don't be anxious, please wait until I finish what I have to say!"
Zhao Hao was not angry when Ying Zheng interrupted his flattery, but patiently continued to explain:
"I told my father before that the key to preventing counterfeiting of banknotes and treasury bonds is that my father's handwriting is so unique. If it is printed on the banknotes and treasury bonds, wouldn't it be equivalent to an additional anti-counterfeiting measure?"
There is a more critical point that Zhao Hao did not say.
That is, no matter which calligrapher he asks to write, there may be a risk of leaking the secret. Only by asking the First Emperor to write, there is no such hidden danger.
After all, after the First Emperor wrote to him, no one could force him as long as he didn't write to others.
"Secondly, the silver notes and treasury bonds themselves have little value. What makes them valuable is the court's credit. As long as the court's credit is sufficient, the value of the bank notes and treasury bonds will not change!"
"My father is appointed by Heaven and is the co-owner of the world. Your handwriting can appear on banknotes and treasury bonds, which invisibly increases their credibility. This is a matter of great benefit and no harm!"
"Ah!"
After Ying Zheng heard Zhao Hao's words, he laughed and sneered: "A hundred benefits and no harm? Why are you so short-sighted?"
"ah?"
Zhao Hao was surprised and seemed to have no reaction.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared directly at Zhao Hao: "I know that you are serving the country and the people, and you have good intentions, but have you really thought about it clearly? Can I use my handwriting casually?"
"It's not used casually, it's printed on national bonds and banknotes!"
Zhao Hao was still a little puzzled.
Ying Zheng said with hatred: "How many people will the national debt certificates be distributed to, and how many people will hold the banknotes? Do you want to make it commonplace for everyone in the world?"
"this"
Zhao Hao was dumbfounded.
Ying Zheng glared at him and said solemnly: "If my ministers have made meritorious service, I want to reward them. If I don't personally mention the plaque or write the edict with my own hand, how can I be considered as being extremely gracious?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hao suddenly realized that it was because hope is more valuable than anything else.
Obviously, there can be too much of anything in this world, but not too many of the handwritings of the First Emperor, or in other words, not too many things related to the First Emperor.
After all, after all, the First Emperor would not have much mystery even if he lived deep inside the high-walled palace.
The First Emperor, who had no sense of mystery, naturally had no majesty at all.
This is absolutely impossible.
"Your kid's idea is good, and I am willing to accept your love, but I'd better skip the gift."
Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Hao, his eyes filled with a loving smile.
Zhao Hao scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "I didn't think twice about asking Father to give me the words. Then I asked someone else to write the words on the banknotes and national debt rolls."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the study.
"Wait a minute!"
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Hao strangely, and when he saw that he was really about to go out, he quickly stopped him.
"Father, do you have any other instructions?"
Zhao Hao turned around with a confused look on his face and looked at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng's face changed, and he looked surprised. He asked unwillingly: "You came to me today just to ask for my words?"
"ah?"
Zhao Hao responded, looked at Ying Zheng and blinked, still looking confused.
When he came to see the First Emperor's father, it must have been more than just asking for a letter, but he just didn't say anything.
Because he had been in contact with the First Emperor's father for a long time, he found that the requests he made on his own initiative were basically not accepted, so he simply played hard to get and those who were willing took the bait.
Sure enough, when Ying Zheng saw the confused expression on Zhao Hao's face, he couldn't figure out whether he had a problem or whether he had a problem.
After a slight hesitation, he stood up from the chair, walked slowly to Zhao Hao, looked at him for a while, then frowned and asked, "Did you forget something?"
"What's up?"
Zhao Hao tilted his head.
Ying Zheng had no choice but to say directly: "I just said about rewarding you! Don't you want the reward?"
So it’s this, but what’s there to say? If you don’t want to give it, why should I beg you for nothing?
It's not a good thing anyway
Zhao Hao cursed in his heart, but said honestly: "Of course I want it."
After saying that, he kept silent and said nothing further.
That's it?
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Hao more and more wrongly, thinking that shouldn't be the case. Could it be that this guy has changed his gender? Or was the blow I just dealt a heavy blow?
Right! This kid has been going smoothly recently and rarely encounters setbacks. Now he can't even ask for a single word from me, which is a bit frustrating.
But didn’t I explain the pros and cons?
Can't you ask for something else? Maybe I will agree to it!
"cough"
With his thoughts turning around, Ying Zheng coughed lightly, then clasped his hands behind his back and asked in a serious tone: "Has the old prime minister come to discuss political affairs with you?"
"Back to my father, the old prime minister and my son mentioned the political affairs of Hedong County and Jiujiang County, but my son didn't take it to heart."
Zhao Hao said calmly.
Ying Zheng frowned: "Why don't you take it to heart?"
Zhao Hao did not speak directly, but glanced around with his eyes.
Ying Zheng immediately understood Zhao Hao's intention and waved the people around him to leave the study.
"Okay, you can talk now."
Ying Zheng spoke calmly and dignifiedly.
Zhao Hao bowed and said seriously: "When I return to my father, there are two reasons why I don't take it to heart. One is that my son is of humble status. Even if I care about national affairs, I can't interfere in national affairs. It's better to give him to my father." Huang Ti suggested that it would be better to do something secretly;
The second reason is that Erchen has many brothers. It’s not that they don’t have talents, but they can’t use them. Erchen wants to be a catfish that activates them. He doesn’t want to bury them because of his position, causing the talent of our Great Qin Royal Family to wither. . "
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked surprised, then regained his composure and paced back and forth in the study.
"Do you know what it means to activate their talents?
This means that the struggle for imperial power will become more intense. Do you want to see brothers killing each other? Or is this your real purpose, to be a loner like me? "
Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Hao with cold eyes and almost said, "You are playing with fire!" '
But, is Zhao Hao really playing with fire?
no!
Why?
Because Zhao Hao has always been afraid of Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng, the First Emperor, was too deep and terrifying, and he was also a man who had experienced countless betrayals and cruel struggles.
The First Emperor in history was not a perfect man. He had a side that valued affection and righteousness, but also had a cold-blooded and ruthless side. No one knew the secrets deep in his heart.
Even though he has been doting on Zhao Hao recently, Zhao Hao can't say that he has entered his heart.
Therefore, Zhao Hao always maintained a certain attitude toward the First Emperor, fearing that if he did anything excessive and the First Emperor actually acted as a tyrant by killing his son, it would be a big deal.
"Father, the world is very big and you have a lot to do. Do you only rely on yourself? As the saying goes, father and son go into battle and brothers fight tigers. You suppress the royal family and monopolize power. Do you not want the world to fall apart again? Split;
But have you ever thought that the world is not only the Central Plains, but also the vast world overseas! "
Zhao Hao expressed his feelings directly.
Ying Zheng looked unhappy: "Do you want me to enfeoff them?"
"If they have the ability to open up their own world, why don't my father help them?"
Zhao Hao asked without any hesitation.
Snapped!
Ying Zheng slapped the table and angrily shouted: "Confused! Do you think they will develop overseas with peace of mind after they go out? People's hearts are complicated. Once they have full wings, they may counterattack the Central Plains at any time. Do you understand? This is called raising tigers to create trouble! "
"Father looks up to them!"
Zhao Hao shook his head and said: "With my father here, they are like dragons coiled and tigers squatting, so they can only open up territory for Da Qin honestly and support the mainland of Da Qin;
Even if one day they establish their own country, it will only be a vassal state of Da Qin;
Sons and ministers have many ways to control their subjects, so father does not need to worry! "
Seeing Zhao Hao's confidence, Ying Zheng didn't know what to say.
But if you think about it carefully, this is really the case. At least for 20 to 30 years, there is no need to worry about them becoming bigger and stronger.
After all, no matter how big or powerful you are, you don't dare to act arrogantly in front of yourself.
As for what will happen twenty or thirty years later, it is even more unclear.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng felt depressed and waved his hand to send Zhao Hao away: "Let's go!"
Seeing Zhao Hao standing there, hesitating to speak, Ying Zheng frowned at him and shouted: "Aren't you going to leave? Why aren't you leaving?"
"Didn't my father ask me what reward I wanted just now? I suddenly remembered something."
Zhao Hao pouted.
"Um?"
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand impatiently: "What's the matter? Tell me!"
Zhao Hao blinked his eyes and said with a smile:
"I want my father to reward me with a portrait. I wonder if my father's portrait can be printed on banknotes and government bonds."
