Xianyang Xingong ......

"Meet Your Majesty."

Yingzheng of the Xingong Palace held a banquet and summoned the rich and powerful people from all over Daqin, and everyone shouted in unison to Yingzheng.

"Excuse me! Seating ......"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and said in a flat voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The crowd bowed again, and then sat down on their knees.

Soon the sound of bell music sounded, and a group of young and beautiful dancers in colorful clothes walked in.

They bowed to Ying Zheng, and then began to dance gracefully.

Ying Zheng enjoyed the beautiful song and dance while drinking.

The merchants below did not dare to open their mouths, although the singing and dancing were beautiful, and the delicacies were precious, none of them had an appetite.

They all sat there on their knees, their bodies tense, for fear that they would overstep in the slightest and anger His Majesty the First Emperor.

During this time, the world of Kyushu was full of blood, and corpses were everywhere.

Countless wealthy families disappeared in an instant.

Not to mention that these merchant families have a low status.

Is Your Majesty going to do something to the merchants?

All hearts are heavy, and no one can be happy.

After singing and dancing, Zhong Le stopped, Ying Zheng glanced at the extremely restrained crowd, and said in a deep voice: "What? The delicacies of this palace are not to your liking? ”

Suddenly, the faces of everyone in the hall changed, and they hurriedly had smiles on their faces.

"Your Majesty, it's funny, the delicacies of this palace have never been eaten by Xiaomin in his life!"

"Yes! We were only shocked by His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts. ”

Everyone hurriedly spoke one after another and complimented Yingzheng.

"Then let's have a feast! I'm not a man-eating beast, so you don't have to be restrained. ”

The face under the crown of Yingzheng still did not have the slightest expression.

"Your Majesty has a decree, open a banquet."

Bai Zhuo, who was standing on the side, immediately shouted.

Everyone saw Ying Zheng pick up the silver chopsticks and eat them, so they dared to pick up the wooden chopsticks in front of them and ate them.

Except for the sound of chewing, the main hall was quiet and terrible.

After a long time, when everyone had almost eaten.

Ying Zheng put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, picked up a black brocade cloth in front of him, wiped his mouth and said, "Are you all full?" ”

"Full, full, thank Your Majesty for your hospitality."

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Everyone hurriedly spoke.

"Then let's get down to business! Do you know why I have summoned you? ”

Ying Zheng looked at the businessmen below and said casually.

"Back to Your Majesty, when the villain heard that the court was going to give the villain a big deal, he cried with joy and was moved."

"The grace of heaven is vast, the villain's ancestor is the eighth generation of virtue, so there is such an honor!"

A chubby businessman stood up and patted Ying Zheng's beard, but he looked very sincere.

"Your Majesty is busy with all his busy schedule, and he can still think of taking care of us merchants, it is really a saint of the ages!"

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, the four seas are peaceful, the people are grateful to Dade, and we also admire it from the bottom of our hearts."

"If there is no Your Majesty to rule the world and eliminate the war, how can there be a good day for me!"

"Yes! Back then, when I was doing business, I was frightened all the way, swords and fires, and if I wasn't careful, I would lose both people and money, and kill every step! ”

"Your Majesty's new policy, the reduction of heavy taxes, the abolition of the entry tax into the city, the promotion of commercial and trade exchanges, we weep when we hear it, and after hearing it, we bow to the west every day and worship the grace of heaven."

A group of people who have traveled from south to north and have seen and heard widely have opened their mouths to praise, and the hall was very lively for a while.

"Well, I've heard that your business is doing very well, some people are opening branches in various places, some people are expanding and recruiting, and it is booming, and the business is getting bigger and bigger."

Ying Zheng's expression is still unwavering, as if he is chatting about family life.

"It all depends on Your Majesty's mercy to have my blessings today!"

Everyone said in unison.

"Yes! In various places, many people hoard cereals and grains, and strange goods can live. There are also people who take risks and peddle the prohibited goods of the empire thousands of miles away, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. ”

Ying Zheng's voice became colder and colder, and his eyes were staring at everyone, like a volcano that was about to erupt at any time.

Suddenly, many people were sweating, and cold sweat continued to break out on their foreheads.

Everyone didn't dare to gasp, and they lowered their heads one by one, not daring to meet His Majesty's gaze.

"Someone ...... coming"

Ying Zheng shouted.

A burst of hurried and neat footsteps sounded, and two rows of armor soldiers ran in in a neat and orderly manner, with swords on their waists.

The atmosphere in the main hall is extremely quiet.

Everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and they looked at the two rows of armor soldiers standing in the center of the hall in horror.

They had no doubt that as long as His Majesty gave an order, all of them would be splattered with blood on the spot.

Some timid people can't help but tremble in their bodies.

"Remove the feast!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said coldly.

"Whoa."

The two rows of armor soldiers immediately bowed their hands and said in unison.

Then they divided the labor and took away the leftovers on the tables on both sides in an orderly manner.

Seeing that the two rows of armor soldiers took the plates in front of them and left the main hall, many people breathed a sigh of relief, and each wiped the sweat beads on their foreheads with their sleeves.

"I invited you to come, not to investigate this of you, but to make a big deal with you, what do you think?"

The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth raised a slight arc, the deterrent effect has been achieved, and it is time to get straight to the point.

"It's all up to Your Majesty, and I'll listen to you."

All the people spoke.

"Have someone bring the goods up and show them all."

Ying Zheng said to Bai Zhuo beside him.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

Bai Zhuo immediately clapped his hands.

The copper plates carried by the two rows of attendants slowly walked in.

Soon everyone put a plate in front of them, and looking at the things on the plate, everyone was a little flustered.

A small, delicate glass bottle containing an unknown liquid of brilliant color.

There was also a fragrant unknown object that they had never seen before.

Finally, there are a few exquisite glass utensils, which are so beautiful that they are all fascinated.

Zuo Luo has been in business all his life, and he has also collected a lot of treasures, and there is a glass cup in his home that he regards as a treasure.

When he saw these exquisite, bright and translucent glass utensils in front of him, he felt that what he had collected was a treasure, not even a piece of Xiang.

Bah...... A lump of Xiang is overrated......

Pick up the fragrant thing and look left and right, it feels a little slippery.

He put it under his nose and smelled it, and a fresh fragrance made him very intoxicated.

After pondering for a long time, he bowed to Yingzheng above and said, "Your Majesty, this is a soaphorn?" ”

"I call it soap, and it's used for bathing, and it's far more effective than soap."

Ying Zheng said casually.

"Your Majesty, what's in this glass bottle?"

Fan Feng cautiously picked up the glass bottle, and asked Ying Zheng as if it were a treasure.

"Just open it and you'll know."

Ying Zheng sold a pass and said calmly.
