The queen was silent, and Zhao Qi was also silent, he knew very well that it was almost impossible for Li Xin to stay in Zhao's mansion all year round. Li Xin is the personal guard of the current prince, and he is in charge of the prince's safety with one hand. And he was just a marquis, and his family was also a relative of the guilty courtiers, and he knew that Huayang could not let Zi Chu's comfort meet his request. But he still brought it up, in addition to wanting to fight for it, the most important thing is to leave himself some room for maneuver.

After pondering for a long time, Huayang sighed and said: "Li Xin is Zi Chu's personal guard, even if the palace agrees, the king will not agree, except for Li Xin, you can choose the rest of the people at will, as long as the palace can do it, you will definitely be satisfied with you." ”

Zhao Qi was a little excited in his heart, what he wanted was this sentence, knowing that Huayang could not be satisfied that he would definitely feel guilty and give him the greatest limit, which was easy to say, but there was still a lost expression on his face, and he pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Since Niangniang said this, the kid doesn't force it, since the family teacher is on official business, then the kid will reluctantly change it to Zhang Han, as for Zheng'er's safety, just leave it to the kid, and let Zheng'er keep up when the kid works in the future, and he can also hone his mind, and I hope Niangniang will agree."

Huayang understands this, this kid has already calculated it, and he has just said it himself, Zhao Qi is not too much of a request, it is not easy to refuse. She stared at Zhao Qi closely, trying to see through the cunning heart under his innocent face, and only after a long time did she snort coldly and said: "You kid doesn't learn what to do, play tricks on this palace, it's up to you, Zheng'er's kid is too cowardly, it's a good thing to let him follow you more angrily."

"Xie Niangniang is complete." Zhao Qi clasped his fists and thanked him, Zhang Han is the most outstanding of the younger generation in the dark department, of course, there is no problem in terms of personal force value and adaptability, but when it comes to the ability to dominate, it is naturally inferior to those who have social experience, so Zhao Qi continued, "The kid still has one more thing to ask for." ”

Huayang put down the teacup, glared at him with squinted eyes, and said, "If you have a fart, let it go."

She has a very bad attitude towards Zhao Qi, and always feels that what this kid says has pitfalls, but now it is a long memory, and she secretly warned herself in her heart that she would have to think twice about what this kid said before answering it in the future.

"Niangniang, you also know that Zhang Han is about the same age as me, and there is nothing to say about the kung fu of his hands and feet, but when it comes to experience, his eyesight is far behind, so the kid asks Niangniang to pick two leaders with vision when sending people, and the kid is relieved." Zhao Qi lowered his head and said what he thought.

Mrs. Huayang raised her eyebrows, stopped talking several times, and finally shook her head and agreed. She stretched out her slender finger and tapped Zhao Qi's eyebrows, and said: "This is why you kid dares to bargain with this palace, which of the others is like you, it is a good thing to be an official, you kid is cheap and sells well, how can you not know how to collect sticky, boy, you remember, this careful thinking is used on me, and it is irrelevant to you Grandpa Meng and Uncle Lu, you must not be clever with the king, there is one to say one, and there is two to say two." The king's greatest detestment is that of those who have become flowers. ”

"The kid was taught." Zhao Qi bowed down to be taught, he really didn't think about it so much before. The court he used to watch in the TV series was always the kind of place where intrigue and death would occur at every turn, but since he called, he felt that it didn't seem so terrible, and now after listening to Huayang's words, he was secretly frightened, maybe the palace is really like the one in the TV series, but what he sees is just the surface.

The queen left, and Zhao Qi went to the study.

Sitting behind the desk in the study in a daze is Zhao Qi's favorite thing to do, Daqin has no hands, no Internet, and a daze has become his only way to spend time.

The furniture of the Zhao Mansion has now been replaced with tables and chairs made in accordance with the later generations, not only the Zhao Mansion, but also the Lu Buwei family, Wang Jian family, the Meng family and several families with a good relationship with the Zhao family have been replaced with brand new furniture, everyone says that the chair designed by Zhao Qi is very comfortable to sit on, and the material is still the most worthless wood, which is popular in Chang'an as soon as it comes out, but because the production process is only known to the craftsmen of the Zhao family, it has become a luxury product. Therefore, the tables and chairs at home are made by Zhao Mansion, and they have also become the capital of Xianyang's nobles to show off.

All Zhao Qi could think about was whether to make this thing into an industry and sell it to the nobles in Xianyang.

In addition, since Zhao Qi handed over the method of stir-frying and cooking to the cook at home, the chefs of the Zhao Mansion have also become the most popular group of people in Xianyang, as long as they are the cooks trained by the Zhao Mansion, after going out, all the nobles are rushing to ask for it, and after the high price is invited into the house, it is really treated as a person, not like a servant at all, but like the master of the kitchen, calling and drinking to other subordinates, and the master does not reprimand.

The chefs of the Meng family and the Lu family don't need to think about it to know that they have already undergone training in the Zhao Mansion, and the restaurant in Daqin occasionally spends a lot of money to send two cooks to the Zhao Mansion to learn the craft, and now the evaluation criteria for the meals in the big restaurant have become whether there are chefs from the Zhao Mansion or not. Even most of the palace cooks have experienced the training of the Zhao Mansion cooks, which is deliberately arranged by the queen, when something becomes the mainstream of the aristocracy, there is no need to think about it, it must be the king of Qin and the queen doing the same thing, and the nobles just need to follow suit.

Zhao Qi felt that it was necessary for him to open a New Oriental Culinary Academy in Daqin, which seemed to be an opportunity to make money, of course, just eating was not enough to attract the attention of all the nobles, he needed to attract the attention of King Qin, if he added "royal family" in front of this name, the effect would be completely different.

Eating food is not enough to attract some old stubborns, but the name of King Qin is enough to make all the noble ministers of Great Qin go in and take a turn. This is the advertising effect, just like the fact that various brands in later generations like to ask celebrities to endorse, King Qin is Zhao Qi's spokesperson, but this spokesperson's fame is indeed a bit big.

Merchants don't care about these, the more famous the spokesperson, the higher the income, Zhao Qi is not like a pure businessman, so he plans to persuade King Qin to endorse him for free, of course, he never doubts his eloquence.

Unconsciously, the sky had darkened, Zhao Qi yawned, stood up and stretched, rubbed his arms and twisted his waist, and thought about it for an afternoon, he still felt that making money was the king, and there were too many places to make money in this era. He secretly made up his mind that after he took office, while doing his own work, he must make more money through his name, he was too poor. Furniture stores, restaurants, and light industry will all be channels for him to make money.

The more important thing is to serve the country, the armed forces of Great Qin are too weak now, he proposed that mining coal and manufacturing stoves is of course not just an industry, winter will pass soon, stoves are not needed for mass production, his most important purpose has actually been achieved, he successfully attracted the attention of King Qin to industry and commerce.

In addition to coal mines, he now holds the position of Sikong, he can let go of the mining of other ores, iron ore, copper ore is the most important material for making weapons, Zhao Qi decided to make money while developing Daqin's industry, although he did not have more advanced steelmaking technology, but he studied chemistry and knew how to make steel harder, maybe not enough in later generations, but more than enough in this era.

With a goal, there is motivation, the time given to him by King Qin is to take office on the third day of the first month, and he still has one day, Ming'er will take a look at Old Man Meng and a few familiar families, and the time is about the same.

Squeak~

The door of the study was pushed open, and Ling'er's little head poked in, and whispered, "Young Master, it's time to eat."

Zhao Qi smiled, walked to Ling'er in three or two steps, pinched her little face, and then walked out of the study.

Walking in the compound with his back to his hand, his mood is extraordinarily comfortable, everything is smooth, and he is always a good medicine for depression, and Zhao Qi is in a particularly good mood every time he is in a daze.

Looking up at the dim sky, Zhao Qi breathed a long sigh of relief, let's accompany the old lady more after dinner tonight, as soon as I leave tomorrow, I don't know when I will be able to come back, the city wall of Xianyang is very high, and it is a good place to imprison people.
