In just half a day, Zhao Heng's three orders spread almost throughout Xianyang City.

It can be said that these three orders, like a nuclear bomb, blew everyone up, and for a while, Xianyang set off stormy waves.

The first decree is to abolish torture such as joint sitting, razing the three tribes, and exterminating the sect.

may only touch the bottom line of Li Si and other legalists, but for others, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

But the second and third orders have moved almost all the cakes of the aristocratic families and even the royal family.

It can even be said that this is subverting the system of officials.

At this time, Zhao Heng was thinking about where to build the first primary and secondary schools in Xianyang.

He summoned an official named Zhang He and asked where there was any vacant land.

"Zhao Xiang, there is really no free place in Xianyang City."

After Zhang He saluted respectfully, he replied a little helplessly.

For his answer, Zhao Heng was actually not too surprised in his heart.

After all, this is Xianyang, the capital of Great Qin, and almost all of the high-ranking officials of Great Qin are concentrated here.

In Daqin, the titles of high-ranking officials must not be low, and the fields and real estate they can get are naturally very large, not to mention inside Xianyang City, it is estimated that even outside Xianyang City, there should be no borderless land.

Zhao Heng now has only two choices, one is to directly forcibly requisition the land of the owner, and the other is to go to Yingzheng.

After thinking about it for a while, he directly eliminated the latter, if he went to Yingzheng to solve everything, then he, the prime minister, would inevitably be too incompetent.

He only has two acquaintances in Xianyang City, and after excluding Yingzheng, there is only Wang Qian.

So, after Zhao Heng changed into civilian clothes, he left the Prime Minister's Mansion with Shuang Hexi and a dozen other guards, and walked towards Wang Qian's Hou Mansion.

Of course, for the sake of safety, all the Xuanyi guards he brought have been hidden in the shadows, and they can solve all crises for him at any time.

It's just that Zhao Heng and his entourage, before they arrived at Wang Qian's Hou Mansion, were blocked by a luxurious carriage.

You must know that although he is now wearing civilian clothes, he faintly exudes the majesty of a superior on his body, and with more than a dozen guards accompanying him, ordinary people dare not get too close, let alone block his way.

"Qing, I've seen Zhao Xiang!"

With a soft voice, I saw a middle-aged woman step down from the carriage.

After she came to Zhao Heng's face, she bowed slightly, with a smile on her face.

"You know me?"

Zhao Heng's eyebrows raised slightly and asked.

He has only been in Xianyang for a day, and it is the first time he has walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion today, although there are many people who know his name, but very few people know him, not to mention, the middle-aged woman in front of him, he should have never seen it.

"When Zhao Xiang entered the city, Qing was fortunate to meet him."

Qing smiled slightly and replied.

"What are you looking for me?"

Zhao Heng asked again.

"Qing has a business and wants to negotiate with Zhao Xiang."

Qing's eyes looked directly at Zhao Heng and said with a smile.

"Talking about business?"

Zhao Heng couldn't help but look stunned when he heard this.

He thought that the middle-aged woman named Qing in front of him stopped his way because he had a grievance to be redressed, or because he came for the three decrees he issued in the morning, but he never thought that the other party was actually going to talk to him about business.

The point is that the person who wants to talk to him about business is actually a woman.

Wait a minute...... Although there are many businessmen in Xianyang, there seems to be only one businesswoman, and the net worth is obviously not low, right?

"Are you Ba Qing?"

Zhao Heng looked at the middle-aged woman with a strange look and asked.

"Zhao Xiang actually knows Qing!"

Ba Qing couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this.

"Your Majesty's personal virgin, how could I not know."

Zhao Heng smiled lightly.

Ba Qing, a native of Ba County, is also known as Ba Widow Qing, who is a rare female businessman in Daqin, and is also the richest woman in Daqin.

It can even be said that she is the earliest female entrepreneur in China and even in the world, and she is one of the seven richest people in the Warring States period as a woman.

After her husband's death, Ba Qing did not remarry, and finally won the honor of "virgin" by the first emperor.

It is recorded in the history books: Ba widow Qing, who first got the Dan acupoint, and was good at it for several generations, and the family was not happy; Qing widows can keep their business and defend themselves with money, and no one dares to commit crimes; The first emperor thought that he was a virgin and a guest, and he was pregnant with a clear platform for a woman.

Ba Qing's family has mastered the mining and smelting technology of dansha, and has almost monopolized all industries related to dansha, with countless family wealth, more than 1,000 servants, and even private armies.

After the first emperor Yingzheng ruled the world, he forcibly moved all the big merchants of the six countries to Xianyang in order to facilitate monitoring and control, and Ba Qing was naturally among them.

Zhao Heng didn't expect that he would meet this legendary woman so soon.

"I wonder what business you want to talk to me about?"

After a pause, Zhao Heng's eyes looked at Ba Qing and asked.

"It's not appropriate to negotiate here, is Zhao Xiang willing to go to my restaurant to talk about it in detail?"

Ba Qing looked at Zhao Heng and said.

"Yes!"

Zhao Heng nodded, and then followed Ba Qing to a restaurant.

The restaurant is equivalent to the restaurant of Daqin, where you can eat all kinds of Daqin's delicacies, of course, the so-called food is only for the people of Daqin, and for Zhao Heng, it can only be called food at most.

Here, it must be mentioned that Daqin prohibits the public sale of alcohol, so there will be no liquor shops, and even if you drink in private, it is generally only possible during the New Year's Festival.

After Zhao Heng carefully glanced at the restaurant, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, Ba Qing deserved to be the richest woman in Daqin, just an ordinary restaurant, no matter the scale or decoration, it was far from being comparable to other restaurants.

If you have to compare, it should be equivalent to the difference between a five-star hotel and an ordinary restaurant in the future.

Soon, Ba Qing asked people to get a large table of "delicacies".

However, Zhao Heng only politely ate two bites and put down his chopsticks.

There is no way, although there is fish and meat in the table in front of me, there is really a lack of seasoning, and the cooking method is monotonous, so it tastes too bland and tasteless.

"Zhao Xiang, but it's not to your liking?"

Seeing that Zhao Heng only ate two small bites of food, Ba Qing hurriedly asked.

"I just ate a little too much before I came out, and I really couldn't eat too much."

After Zhao Heng told an innocuous little lie, he said, "Let's continue to talk about the business you just said." ”

"I heard that Zhao Xiang wants to open an academy in Xianyang?"

Ba Qing's eyes flashed slightly, and then he spoke.

"Yes, that's true."

Zhao Heng nodded, could it be that this widow Qing is planning to invest in opening a school?

If so, it's not impossible.

Even in later generations, there were private schools.

It's just that the school he wants to set up is related to the popularization of education in the whole of Daqin, and even if private investment is allowed, in some aspects, it must be restricted.

"Then I wonder if Zhao Xiang has found a suitable place?"

Ba Qing asked again.

"I'm not going to hide it from you, I really need a piece of land to build an academy right now."

Zhao Heng said directly.
