Wake up.
It was already afternoon. Zhao Shu had a quick bite and saw Tie Qi coming in a hurry.
"The head of the family, Gongshu Cheng and others have come up with a plan. The family elder has also contacted Zhao Fuling. Some workers have come over from the Yin Palace and have started repairs."
"Since the master of the house was resting, the subordinates did not disturb the master of the house."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu smiled at Tie Qi: "It's okay, it's just the foundation, it won't affect anything."
"Put the designs they sent in the study. I'll take a good look at them at night."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Tie Qi turned around and left. Since the family elder was busy repairing the mansion and contacting Zhao Gao, all the big and small matters in the mansion fell on Tie Qi.
Tie Qi was extremely busy now, which made Zhao Shu, who was about to go out, hesitate.
He knew very well that Tie Qi was very powerful, and the city of Xianyang was not very safe. Once he was assassinated, it would be a disaster.
Zhao Shu does not think that Xianyang City is a paradise now, nor does he think that no one dares to assassinate him.
No matter what era it was, there were people who were not afraid of death. Zhao Shu knew that even Qin Wangzheng was assassinated, let alone him.
And not only did he conquer the Zhao Kingdom and attract the hatred of countless Zhao people, the birth of soap this time naturally also attracted some hungry wolves.
Among all the officials in the Qin Dynasty who are still in Xianyang, except Wang Jian, he is probably the one who is most likely to be assassinated.
"Palace Master, are you going out?" Yaoyao naturally saw Zhao Shu's reaction and couldn't help but be surprised and said.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu smiled and then shook his head towards Yaoyao: "I have an idea, but I don't want to go now."
"It's better to stay calm in Xianyang recently."
At this point, Zhao Shu changed his subject and said, "Yaoyao, warm up a pot of fine Qin wine."
"promise."
Zhao Shu watched Yaoyao leave. He knew in his heart that there was no airtight wall in this world, let alone this city.
The news that the Beidou Chamber of Commerce is earning twenty million yuan a day will inevitably spread throughout Xianyang in a short period of time. By then, countless nobles, officials, and old families will be excited.
His troubles will probably continue one after another.
At this time, it would be better for him to avoid the limelight.
.......
Tingwei Mansion.
Li Si looked at Kurosawa with a glint in his eyes. As Qin Wangzheng's confidant, he had naturally met each other.
"Kurosawa has met Tingwei!" Kurosawa saluted Li Si and said.
Hearing this, Li Si chuckled and helped Kurosawa up: "Kurosawa, there's no need to be polite. Did you change your name?"
"General Zhao Shu changed it!"
Kurosawa smiled and turned to Li Si and said, "Tingwei, here is four million dollars. Please ask Tingwei to have someone count it."
"At the same time, this is a receipt, which needs to be filled out by Tingwei."
Handing the Beidou Chamber of Commerce receipt to Li Si, Kurosawa took out Zhao Shu's letter from his sleeve: "Tingwei, this is a letter from General Zhao Shu to you."
"Say yes, you will understand after reading the letter."
Hearing this, Li Si's brows frowned even more. He took the letter from Kurosawa, opened it and took a look, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, this is the first good news about Zhao Shu.
Having said this, Li Si smiled at Kurosawa and said, "Black Butler, wait here for a moment. I'll be fine soon."
"Please, Lieutenant Ting."
Li Si filled out the receipt and handed it to Kurosawa, who left Tingwei Mansion.
Both of them are very measured people, so they naturally know that their identities are not suitable for frequent contact.
Otherwise, it will cause trouble for each other.
Watching Kurosawa leave, a smile of relief appeared on Li Si's face. Although four million dollars was less than 10% of that money, it was still a small number.
For Li Si, this was an unexpected surprise. He had already made preparations that even Qin Banliang didn't have.
After all, he was the one who took the initiative to donate his share to Qin Wangzheng, and in the end he tricked Zhao Shu, so that Zhao Shu got nothing.
In the end, Qin Wangzheng couldn't bear it anymore and rewarded Zhao Shu with one million yuan to repair the mansion.
"It seems that there is still room for bidding this time!" Li Si thought about everything clearly.
He knew that although Zhao Shu was audacious, he did not dare to fool Ying Zheng. The Beidou Chamber of Commerce's income was probably around 20 million yuan.
After all, this number cannot be extremely accurate, it is just an estimate. At that time, Zhao Shu came to Zhangtai Palace and the bidding had not yet ended.
........
Zhangtai Palace.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Heize." Zhao Gao handed over to Ying Zheng with an extremely respectful attitude.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked up at Zhao Gao.
He knew that if it was not an important matter, Zhao Gao would not easily disturb him.
Even if he valued Zhao Shu, it was the same. After all, it was impossible for him to deal with some trivial matters.
Picking up the silk book from the desk, Ying Zheng glanced at it, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "This kid is still playing tricks on me."
"Beidou Chamber of Commerce has five million dollars, Hidden Palace has seven million dollars, and Li Si has four million dollars. Is the rest his?"
Ying Zheng smiled and turned to Zhao Gao and said, "I saw this mentioned above, and later Wu Shiluo sent 10 million yuan to Yin Gong."
"But there is no detailed record of what happened. Is there any explanation from the Black Ice Platform?"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao quickly turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, I have verified this matter and it is indeed true."
"After the young master left Zhangtai Palace, Wu Shiluo and Ba Qing came to visit him. Wu Shiluo and the young master had a very pleasant conversation."
"Judging from the news sent by the Xianyang Magistrate's Office, Yin Gong cooperates with Wushi Luo. Yin Palace produces soap and Wushi Luo sells it."
"It mainly involves Donghu, Mobei, and Dayue clan, so the land of Yong!"
"It's just that the young master and Ba Qing broke up on bad terms. It was said that the young master had someone send him a Yaoqin for Ba Qing to play..."
"But no one knows what happened specifically except Ba Qing and Young Master."
.......
Hearing this, Ying Zheng got up from the throne, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, and came to the Zhangtai Palace to see the great battle in the world.
The Lu Lu sword was unsheathed and landed on the map: "Donghu, Mobei, the land of Yong, Da Yueshi, outside Longxi..."
"Although Wushiluo and Ba Qing are both top-notch merchants in Great Qin, their sales of soap are inherently profitable."
"Cooperating with these people is equivalent to restricting the expansion of the Beidou Chamber of Commerce. Today, Zhao Shu, holding Nandou and Beidou, still has a dozen trading houses..."
"Even if Nandou and Beidou are not used, it should still be the Twelve Trading Firms. If such a huge profit is left to others, is it because the Hidden Palace is really short of money?"
As his thoughts turned, Qin Wangzheng felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought.
