Facing Zhao Gao's lines, all the ministers rolled their eyes and said to themselves that this guy is really hateful. He always picks up the words that the First Emperor likes to hear and makes us speechless.
Before Zhao Gao could speak again, all the ministers hurriedly complimented the First Emperor in the same way, and some even cried and laughed, with rainbow farts gushing out.
Fusu and Mengtian were both dumbfounded, and then felt very aggrieved.
It was obviously the credit of the two of them, but it felt like it was their credit.
Listening to the compliments of the ministers, the First Emperor felt happy in his heart, but while he was happy, he seemed to realize something. He turned to Fusu and said, "Can you tell me, can this thing be used as a staple food?"
"this"
Fusu hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully: "Back to my father, Brother Hao didn't say whether this food can be used as a staple food, but General Meng has tried many ways to eat it, among which potato cakes are General Meng's favorite. He should It’s clearer!”
"Your Majesty, there are many ways to cook potatoes, you can fry or boil them, but no matter how you eat them, they are much better than the brown rice you eat in Guizhou!"
Meng Tian said with a smile.
In fact, in his mind, it doesn't matter at all whether it is a staple food or not.
The important thing is not to go hungry.
When there is a famine, the common people are not considered human beings. They will eat anything that is not poisonous, including grass roots, tree bark, and even white mud.
However, the taste of potatoes is really good, but if you eat it for a long time, it may not be as good as corn or the like. After all, if you eat anything like that, you will get tired of it if you eat too much.
But fortunately, Zhao Hao has developed enough cooking methods, and almost all the people have learned various cooking methods such as frying, stir-frying, and boiling.
Even if potatoes are used as the staple food, it is not impossible.
Hearing this, the First Emperor took a deep breath, and the joy in his heart became even stronger. He nodded repeatedly: "Okay! General Meng has done a good job in planting potatoes, and Fusu has done a good job in offering potatoes. I will promote it nationwide in the future. I will do it well in front of all the officials at the great court meeting." Reward you!"
As he said that, he picked up the potato again, rubbed it, and couldn't help but smell it: "This potato is really a divine thing! If I had known that there was such a divine thing in the world, I would...
snort! Treason, I will take care of you when you get back! "
"Well"
The corner of Fusu's mouth twitched, wanting to defend his little brother's grievances, but before he could say anything, he saw a group of cavalry rushing towards him from a distance. Looking at its flag, it turned out to be South Vietnamese cavalry.
"His Majesty!"
Meng Tian also saw the flag of the cavalry, and couldn't help but look solemn, and reminded Ying Zheng in a deep voice.
When Ying Zheng heard Meng Tian's reminder, he immediately came to his senses and followed the message.
Soon, the cavalry team ran to a distance of 20 meters from Ying Zheng and others, dismounted, knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, the general is here to deliver an urgent secret report on the orders of General Zhao Tuo!"
"Um?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and immediately waved to Zhao Gao: "Zhao Gao!"
"Your Majesty, wait a moment!"
Zhao Gao understood this and immediately ran towards the cavalryman.
Soon, a secret report sealed by a clay sculpture appeared in front of Ying Zheng.
"Open!"
Ying Zheng calmly ordered Zhao Gao to open it.
Without saying a word, Zhao Gao opened the secret report in front of everyone and handed it to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng was shocked when he received the secret report. He suddenly turned to look at Brother Mengtian: "Marquis Wu Cheng was seriously ill with fish poison and his life was at stake. Marquis of Huainan, General Mengwu, died of illness in Lingnan."
"What!?"
When brother Meng Tian heard Ying Zheng's words, he immediately felt his blood surge and his eyes turned black.
"General Meng! Lang Zhongling!"
Seeing that the two of them were almost fainting, Wang Li and Fusu hugged each other, and their generals hurriedly pinched them to give first aid.
"Father!"
Brother Mengtian came to his senses and couldn't help bursting into tears. He knelt down and cried bitterly.
When all the ministers saw this, they all choked up.
"Zhao Gao! Serve with pen and ink!"
Just as the whole audience was sobbing, Ying Zheng quickly adjusted his mood, waved his hand towards Zhao Gao, then turned to look at Fusu, and said solemnly: "Fusu, you come to draft the edict!"
He knew that at this time, he must not be crushed by the news.
Otherwise, the sadness will spread throughout the Jiuyuan, which will not be conducive to Meng Tian's battle against the Huns.
"only!"
Fusu wiped the tears on his face and responded respectfully.
This was the first time he drafted an edict for his father, and he immediately sat solemnly in front of the temporary desk.
Ying Zheng glanced at the secret report in his hand, looked at Brother Mengtian with red eyes, took a deep breath and said: "Qin Shi Huangdi issued a special order: Wang Jian's condition is urgent, and Xia Wuji and all the doctors from Daqin Medical Center are sent to Nanhai for treatment today. The life of the old general must be saved. The three counties of Nanhai are temporarily handed over to the garrison general Ren Xiao to take charge of military affairs, and the county garrison offices are under the control of the general;
Today's order: Ren Xiao is appointed Nanhai Lieutenant, and General Zhao Tuo is his deputy, commanding the military and political affairs of the three counties. Zhao Hao, the thirteenth son of the emperor, serves as the supervisor of the South China Sea Army. I authorize him to handle the political affairs of the South China Sea and report to Xianyang later! "
"Definitely recorded!"
Fusu quickly finished recording Ying Zheng's dictation, and at the same time he felt a sense of undue excitement.
Brother Hao!
You can finally leave Xianyang!
"Aqiu——!"
Zhao Hao suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and muttered: "Who is thinking about me?"
"Sir, do you really want to demolish this wall?"
Ding Si looked at Zhao Hao with a troubled face and asked tentatively.
Zhao Hao glanced at him and said solemnly: "Do you think that my son's words are falling on deaf ears?"
"Don't dare. It's just that this wall is the Epang Palace."
"What's Afang Palace? The ugly ones were all demolished by me. In the future, I will build a more beautiful one for my father!"
"Ah? This, this, this"
Ding Si was so frightened by Zhao Hao's words that he was speechless. This Young Master Hao was getting more and more outrageous. He actually dared to demolish the Afang Palace that His Majesty cherished so much.
Although only a few walls have been built in Afang Palace now, Gongzi Hao actually wanted to tear down these few walls.
If His Majesty comes back, won't he be thunderous and furious?
"Sir, why don't we choose a new location in the Imperial Library in case His Majesty comes back?"
"Hmph! I'm not afraid of you, so what are you afraid of?"
Zhao Hao snorted coldly: "Besides, can you find a more suitable place to build a large library in Xianyang?"
Ding Si scratched his head and asked tentatively, "How about I look for it again?"
"Why don't you be a der? Hurry up and smash it!"
"Okay, okay."
Since the construction of public toilets, Ding Si has done a very good job. Zhao Hao made him the captain of his demolition brigade, responsible for the demolition matters.
Now, he is responsible for the entire demolition work in Xianyang.
What he didn't expect was that Zhao Hao actually asked him to demolish Afang Palace.
This was something he never dared to think about before.
However, if you really agree with what you said, it doesn't hurt if you sell your father's land, but it doesn't hurt if you sell your hometown.
Anyway, if the sky falls and someone tall is holding it up, I will be nothing.
After figuring out the key, Ding Si didn't bother to think about it. He readily agreed and took the workers to demolish the wall.
Seeing that Ding Si was so aware of current affairs, Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then made a gesture to Yan Le, who immediately brought a pot of iced milk tea, which made Zhao Hao feel satisfied.
However, before he was satisfied, Han Sheng came to him without stopping, saluted him and said, "Sir, I have something to report to you!"
"No money, right?"
Zhao Hao smiled faintly: "This is just the beginning. I don't know how much money it will cost in the future. The little money I have saved will definitely not be enough to transform Xianyang!"
"Since the young master knows, why?"
As Han Sheng spoke, he couldn't help but laugh twice, and said: "Why are you so generous in transforming Xianyang?"
"If we don't have money, we can find rich people. If we don't have opportunities, it will be difficult for us to create opportunities. If my father is in Xianyang, can we transform Xianyang so smoothly?"
Zhao Hao fiddled with the tea tube in the milk tea cup carelessly: "Do you think I reformed Xianyang because I had enough to eat and had nothing to do?"
"I understand that the young master has his plans, but where can I find this rich man?"
Seeing Zhao Hao's confident look, Han Sheng couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Zhao Hao looked at Han Sheng with a strange expression, as if he could see through his thoughts at a glance, and said in a funny way:
"This is the capital, the capital of the Great Qin Empire. Leaving aside the dignitaries of the Great Qin who were originally here, there are 100,000 nobles from the six countries who my father has moved here. Are there any rich people?"
"this"
Han Sheng was speechless and suddenly felt that what Zhao Hao said made sense, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
Even if there are many rich people in Xianyang City, and others are not fools, how can they use their wealth to transform Xianyang?
But Zhao Hao said again: "It is also easy to attract the rich people from Xianyang City. I have planned a group of school district houses near Imperial College and plan to conduct pre-sale of houses in the name of the imperial court;
At that time, we will do some publicity, saying that the children of home buyers can enroll in Imperial College Pre-school, and write a slogan, [If you are poor, don’t come to Imperial College Pre-school], to set off the high-end atmosphere and class of Imperial College Pre-school! "
"You know, the first batch of students at Imperial College are talented top students like you. How many of those children of rich people are talented?"
"Moreover, Imperial College was founded in the name of the imperial court!"
"Whose court belongs to me? My father's! Who is my father? The First Emperor!"
“In other words, students from Imperial College are equivalent to my father’s disciples!
"With this kind of noodles, you can even study in preschool and be proud of your ancestors!"
Han Sheng: "."
Zhao Hao: "."
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
After a while, Han Sheng sighed helplessly and said in a low voice: "Sir, I don't think it's a problem to cheat and kidnap like this."
"What a scam!"
Zhao Hao's eyes widened; "This is marketing that effectively promotes social development and humanistic progress!"
In feudal society, few rich people were clean. Zhao Hao traveled to this era and has seen through the nature of this era.
At that time, I had just traveled through time, and my concepts had not yet changed. I had been looking at this era with modern people's moral concepts. There was no doubt that it was shattered.
The ruthless combination of capital and power crushes the dignity of the people, and the strict rule of law. In this case, a small mistake will be affected for a lifetime.
If you are stared at by some powerful people, you may not even have the opportunity to perform corvee service.
Fortunately, Zhao Hao traveled through time and became the son of the First Emperor instead of an ordinary citizen, otherwise he might not survive for a month.
While the two were chatting, a carriage slowly came from a distance and stopped next to Zhao Hao.
Wang Wan got off the carriage immediately, cupped his hands towards Zhao Hao and said, "Young Master!"
"Oh? Why does the old prime minister have time to come here?"
Zhao Hao asked with a smile and raised his eyebrows.
Han Sheng hurriedly saluted Wang Wan, but Wang Wan stopped him with a flick of his sleeves. Then he continued to Zhao Hao: "Sir, did I come to you to tell you something important?"
"What's the matter? Is it because of lack of money again?"
"Young Master is aware of this!"
Wang Wan handed over his hand again and said: "Our stone carbon business seems to have been suppressed. Since yesterday, not a pound has been sold."
"Suppress? Who dares to suppress?"
Zhao Hao frowned and asked Wang Wan with some doubts.
Now the stone carbon business is handled by the imperial court. Who the hell dares to suppress the imperial court?
But Wang Wan said: "The one who took the lead is Fushan Trading Company. As for whether there are other trading firms, I don't know. Anyway, none of the seven major trading firms in Xianyang are involved."
Toyama Trading Company?
Zhao Hao thought about it and confirmed that he didn't know about this trading company.
Could it be that this Toyama trading company is also selling carbon? This is impossible. I have a good reputation for the stone carbon mines here in Xianyang, and it is impossible for the other party to transport stone carbon from other places to Xianyang to sell!
Wang Wan seemed to understand Zhao Hao's doubts and sighed: "Fushan Trading Company sells charcoal instead of charcoal. They keep the price of charcoal very low, which is cheaper than our charcoal!"
Charcoal is cheaper than stone carbon. This is a serious move!
Zhao Hao knew the price of charcoal in Xianyang City, which hovered around four hundred yuan.
Even if the price of charcoal is lowered to the price of stone carbon, you will still lose money.
Not to mention the price is lower than that of stone carbon.
What is this Toyama Trading Company doing?
Malicious competition? !
Seeing Zhao Hao's face getting more and more ugly, Wang Wan continued: "Furthermore, Master, you also know that although our charcoal is cheaper than charcoal, it also has many shortcomings, such as it is difficult to ignite and has certain dangers when burning, etc. wait;
Also, if you want to extinguish the charcoal on fire, you must use sand and soil to extinguish it. If you ignite it with water, not only will toxic gases be easily produced, but you will also have to dry it when you use it again. These are the places where charcoal is not as good as charcoal. ! "
So, this is the reason why graphite cannot be sold?
Zhao Hao also understands the people's desire for high quality and low prices, but the sudden appearance of Fushan Trading Company is really suspected of malicious competition.
Zhao Hao would naturally not tolerate such an organization that deliberately seeks trouble.
After all, the stone carbon business is one of his sources of income. If he cannot sell the stone carbon, he will lose a lot of money.
This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.
Originally, he set the price of charcoal because he considered that the charcoal business would be suppressed by the charcoal business, thus affecting tens of thousands of people who depended on charcoal.
Unexpectedly, even though I had considered everything, someone still stood up to me.
"Prime Minister, even so, it won't mean that it can't be sold at all, right?"
Han Sheng on the side couldn't help but ask.
Wang Wan glanced at him and sighed: "Originally, it was not impossible to sell at all, but they made it known that people who buy charcoal now will be sold to them at this price during the winter. People who don't buy charcoal now , we will sell it to them at a high price during the winter, so who will buy our carbon?"
"That's unreasonable!"
When Zhao Hao heard this, he suddenly became angry and threw the milk tea cup in his hand to the ground.
This is so damn shameless.
I kindly took care of their livelihood issues, but I didn't expect that they would tit for tat.
