Chapter Seventy-Six: Zhang Cang, Concubine Li, Knight
Hu Hai had already decided to go to Julu, but Li Si and the others didn't know about the decision at that time, and Hu Hai had already thought about going north to the East China Sea!
This is the main reason why he adds salt to his monthly pension!
If there is a lot of salt, there is no doubt that it is obviously the most in the sea, and it is inexhaustible!
When I went to see the food of the soldiers in Huhai, the camp of Bashang, I learned that all the salt used in Daqin today is coarse salt, and most of them are well salt or sea salt transported back from Bashu, Shandong and other places!
Nowadays, most of the salt used by the people of Daqin is coarse salt, and the better "shape salt" and "loose salt" can only be used by emperors or nobles and rich families.
The so-called "shaped salt" and "loose salt" are actually coarse reconstituted salt in Hu Hai's view, and there is only a little less stone and mud than the coarse salt used by ordinary people!
Hu Hai's original purpose of going to the East China Sea was for salt!
It's just that now Ziying's last whereabouts have appeared in the coastal land of Jimo, which makes him have to go! The so-called visit to the ruins of the First Emperor and the hunting of sea monsters are just high-sounding excuses!
But apparently this excuse is very useful!
Therefore, although the emperor has just returned to Xianyang for less than two months, and he is going to patrol again, and it is now obviously not stable in Shandong and other places where the restoration has just occurred, Li Si and the others still chose to shut up!
"I don't know how many soldiers should be guarded by Your Majesty on this tour of Shandong and other places? The subordinates went to prepare for His Majesty's eastern tour! "Unexpectedly, it was not Li Si or Feng Quji who asked the first question, but it was Changshi Sima Xin!
Although Hu Hai, Li Si and others in the study were a little surprised by Sima Xin's voice at this time, they were not too surprised, after all, Sima Xing, as the chief of the emperor's study, was responsible for the emperor's ordinary things, just because Hu Hai ignored the aggrieved Lord Sima Xin too much!
What happened outside the red and green family, Hu Hai didn't pay attention to it at all, or he had forgotten it. Therefore, under Zhang Han's "unintentional" reminder, Sima Xing had already followed Hu Hai to handle official business in the Bashang camp seven days ago!
finally got the opportunity, Sima Xin naturally had to perform well!
"There is no need to make a big deal about this tour! Therefore, this time, 20,000 people can accompany the forbidden army of my eastern tour! The things used will be won and prepared as soon as they are used, and Sima Aiqing can stay in Xianyang! Hu Hai said lightly.
"Your Majesty! The old minister thought that 20,000 forbidden troops were absolutely impossible! The rebellion in Shandong and other places has just been quelled, and the old minister thinks that there will be no more chaos with the means of Lord Meng Tian, but after all, the rebellion is still short, and I am afraid that there will be fish that have slipped through the net. Please think twice, Your Majesty! ”
Li Si bowed down and hurriedly said!
"How can I not know the heart of the Prime Minister, but this time I am just going to sacrifice the army, and I will not stay in Shandong and other places for too long, not to mention that the queen's canonization ceremony is approaching, if I lead a large group of people and horses to patrol eastward, and the army will set off, not to mention how much it will cost, the speed of this march will be extremely slow. I can't turn back to Xianyang in the rest of the month! 20,000 troops are enough! ”
Hu Hai heard Li Si's words and said with a smile!
Now that Huang Yanjing has come to this point, Li Si obviously knows that there is nothing more to say, after all, this also involves his daughter's post-sealing ceremony, if it is really the same as the last time he toured the east, the emperor estimates that it will be about three months back and forth!
Seeing that Li Si and the others were not talking, Hu Hai knew that they had agreed to his approach, and said with a smile: "This time I left Xianyang, I hope that all things in the DPRK and China will take a lot of pain, and the land of Guanzhong must not be chaotic!" Ladies and gentlemen, you need to remember! ”
"Your Ministers obey!"
Li Si, Feng Qujian and others hurriedly bowed down and answered!
"The two Prime Ministers, Wei Lao Aiqing, Lao Zongzheng, Zhang Aiqing, and Zhang Cang stay! The rest of you Aiqing stand down! ”
"Wait for the resignation!"
Yao Jia and the others said in unison, and a trace of helplessness flashed in Sima Xin's lowered eyes!
When Yao Jia, Sima Xin, Ma Xing and the others retreated, Hu Hai raised his hand and said, "Sit down!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hu Hai looked at Zhang Cang, who was getting more and more fat because of the proximity, and said lightly: "Zhang Aiqing has a case for the ministry of the Shangji Mansion?" ”
Zhang Cang never thought that he would one day be able to be in the same hall with several important ministers of Great Qin who needed to look up to him, and he would be so close to Emperor Great Qin!
Because they are white, they are fat. People say that Zhang Cangfei is as free as a gourd, and he must be a person who sinks into extravagance! Originally, he was the director of the Planning Agency, but because he was worried about his greed, he asked him to do the imperial history, and then took refuge in Fusu thinking that he could show his talents and learn in his heart, but Fusu hung up!
And then because he used to be a staff member of Fusu, I asked who dared to use it, so he pushed it to Shaofu Shangshu, if it weren't for Li Si knowing that Zhang Cang was indeed talented, it is estimated that Zhang Cang would not know where to go now!
At this moment, hesitation, excitement, excitement, worry and other emotions are mixed together, which makes Zhang Cang, who seems to be suffering from gains and losses, even more cramped and uneasy. Suddenly hearing the emperor's words, he suddenly lost his mind for a moment!
Hu Hai saw that Zhang Cang was at a loss and didn't know what to say, and his original dislike in his heart because of his appearance suddenly worsened a few points!
"Does Zhang Aiqing have a case for the ministry of the Shangji Mansion?" Hu Hai lightly glanced at Wei Yi and Ying Teng, who recommended Zhang Cang to him, and asked in a deep voice!
Wei Yi and Ying Teng, who were swept by Hu Hai, obviously felt the displeasure in Hu Hai's heart, and looked at each other helplessly, crying and laughing!
They didn't expect Zhang Cang, who was full of wealth, to be so disgraceful in front of Hu Hai, and now the associated emperor is already obviously complaining that the two are not recommending the right person.
Hu Hai was indeed a little unhappy with the two of them, and at the same time a little unhappy with himself, why did he not investigate Zhang Cangqi for a while, so he directly appointed Zhang Cang, who was strongly recommended by these two old guys, to Shangji Mansion, an extremely important mansion?
This is a direct edict to the world, how can an edict issued during the day be overturned at night! The more he thought about it, the more angry Hu Hai's heart became, and the eyes that looked at Zhang Cang immediately became cold!
Seeing the emperor's cold eyes, Zhang Cang was shocked.
Zhang Cang's eyes are still very good, plus he was originally interested in how the emperor could appoint himself, a small official who is not only unknown but even slightly notorious, as the obviously high-ranking and powerful principal of the Shangji Mansion, Ji Xiang!
Although Hu Hai's glance at Wei Yi and Ying Teng just now was very vague, Zhang Cang still keenly caught it, and then combined with the looks of Wei Yi and Ying Teng, Zhang Cang immediately guessed that it must be himself recommended to the emperor by these two adults!
And now because of what he just said, it caused the emperor's displeasure, and even the two people who recommended him, Wei Yi and Ying Teng, were silently warned by the emperor!
Thinking of this, Zhang Cang's heart, which was originally a little apprehensive about gains and losses, suddenly calmed down!
Unexpectedly, before Zhang Canggang opened his mouth, Hu Hai spoke again: "The matter of the land of the people will be measured by Feng Aiqing's Land and Land Mansion in conjunction with the Shangji Mansion, but the Daqin Death and Disabled Soldiers' Compensation Policy will be jointly dealt with by the Shangji Mansion and the Martyrs' Bureau, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will be severely punished if they obstruct me!"
The business tax of traveling merchants and giants needs to be formulated by the government as soon as possible, and I will return to Xianyang, and then Zhang Aiqing will report to me! All the governments and governments of the DPRK and China will work together with the government to handle this matter! I'm tired, so stand down! "Hu Hai is a little excited, after all, Shangji Mansion is an important part of his economic revitalization plan behind, if Zhang Cang is really as talented as Wei Yi and Ying Teng said, it's okay, if the plan that comes out after a month can't satisfy him, then Hu Hai can only withdraw him!
The ministers in the room obviously also saw that the emperor was very unhappy because of Zhang Cang's mood, and Li Si and Feng Quji, who were originally a little wary of Zhang Cang's sudden rise to prominence, suddenly got rid of a piece of heart disease.
If Zhang Cang can't complete the task assigned by the emperor within this month, then his end is already obvious!
"Wait for the resignation!"
When Li Si and the others retired, Hu Hai rubbed his head, Zhang Cang's withdrawal is very good, but if he is withdrawn, then where can he find a really knowledgeable economist?
……
Out of the emperor's study, Li Si and Feng Qujian didn't even look at Zhang Cang, and went their separate ways!
Seeing the confused Zhang Cang, Wei Yu and Zhang Han together, Wei Yu took a few steps forward and said, "Lord Zhang, don't worry too much!" Just don't live up to Your Majesty's expectations! ”
Immediately, the three of them nodded to Zhang Cang and left!
Zhang Cang, who was originally depressed, waited until the three of them left, and then slowly came back to his senses, and his chaotic eyes gradually became clear and firm!
……
After the passion!
"Is Your Majesty still worried about state affairs?"
Concubine Li lazily lay on Hu Hai's chest, and her tender jade fingers naughtily circled Hu Hai's chest, and said coquettishly!
After a while, Hu Hai still didn't respond!
"Your Majesty!"
Concubine Li's jade arm propped up on the brocade couch and said coquettishly!
Hu Hai heard Concubine Li's coquettish voice before he came back to his senses from the matter of the child, and said blankly: "Huh? Then his eyes suddenly froze!
At this moment, Concubine Li's three thousand long green silks were casually draped on the snow-white shoulders and hung down to her chest, and a ball of snow-white powder lifted the black hair covering it high, and a little pink loomed!
Because Concubine Li sat up, the brocade that was originally on the two of them slipped off, and the snow-white jade back emitted a misty halo under the light, forming a graceful and alluring curve between the naked jade back and the upright **!
Jet-black hair, snow-white skin, attractive pink, and the unsubsiding red tide on Concubine Li's face just now, everything gave Hu Hai, who had come back to his senses, a great stimulus, and the lust that had just subsided suddenly rose again!
Seeing that the emperor came back to his senses in a daze, Concubine Li, who was just about to be coquettish, suddenly felt the hardness and heat of the pink thighs that she pressed on Hu Hai's lower abdomen, and was stunned for a moment, and then Xia Fei's cheeks were as if she could drip water!
"Your Majesty...... Hmmm......"
There is little aftermath!
The rest of the words have been suppressed back by Hu Hai's fiery lips and tongue!
……
In the middle of the night, several fast horses galloped out of a huge mansion in Xianyang City, and the roaring sound of horses' hooves came far away in the silent night!
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the guards guarding the city gate stood in the middle of the city gate road, and one of the guards shouted, "Who is out of the city?" ”
The sound of horses' hooves abruptly stopped at the city gate, and a bronze medal flew out of the hands of one of the black knights on the horse, and fell squarely into the arms of the guard!
The guard glanced at the bronze medal in his arms, and then waved his hand, and several guards behind him scattered in unison, vacating a passage! Then he stepped forward quickly, bowed down and returned the bronze medal in his hand with both hands!
The five black knights didn't say a word all the time, and with their legs between the horse's belly, they galloped out!
