After returning to the mansion.

Su Mo told Xiao Yue about the idea of opening a trading house.

"Let me manage the firm, but Xiaoyue has never done business, what if she loses money and goes out of business?" When Xiao Yue heard this, she immediately shook her head, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

The so-called Shinong industry and commerce.

In the Qin Dynasty, the status of merchants was very low, except for Lü Buwei, who was a strange goods, but this guy was not a pure businessman, more like a speculator and a politician.

Therefore, after Lü Buwei became the prime minister of Qin, he did not think about improving the status of merchants, but intensified the exploitation of merchants, and it is not uncommon for dragon slayers to eventually become evil dragons.

How low was the status of merchants at this time?

In the law of the Qin Dynasty, the law stipulates that the people who have tasted the dead, the son-in-law, and the Jia people are sent as soldiers, and the land of Luliang in Nanyue is omitted, and Guilin, Nanhai, and Xiangjun are placed...... It can be seen that the status of businessmen is at the same level as that of sons-in-law and fugitives, and is basically not valued.

The prince and the grandson, resigned from the palace and came from Qin,

Moreover, since the Qin State destroyed the Six Kingdoms, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, the First Emperor also issued an order to force the merchants and wealthy people of the Six Kingdoms to move to the capital Xianyang, and some of them moved to Bashu, Nanyang, Sanchuan and Zhaodi.

The current merchant is just a brick, and you have to go wherever the court tells you to go, and there is no room for resistance at all.

Even the merchant is the court to raise pigs, the first emperor to build the Great Wall to ask for money, to find a businessman, to repair the palace of the house is short of money also to ask for businessmen, in short, as long as the court is short of money, will reach out to the businessman, if you are obedient, forget it, if you are disobedient and wait until fattening, you will be killed directly.

After Su Mo heard Xiao Yue's words, he laughed: "I am the prime minister of Great Qin, and now one person is above ten thousand people, with me supporting you, the whole Xianyang City will see who dares not to give you face."

And I am going to set up the Zhao firm, mainly to sell paper and distilled spirits, both of which were invented by my brother, only the imperial court and I know the manufacturing process in the world, and this monopoly business cannot lose money even if you close your eyes. ”

The Qin Dynasty did not have an anti-monopoly law.

Besides.

Su Mo is in charge of law reform, and even if there is really one, he can change it for you.

Hearing Su Mo say this, Xiao Yue's tone finally loosened a little, and then she nodded and said, "Then Xiao Yue will try!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Yue agreed, Su Mo's movements were also very fast.

He first bought a dozen shops in the best area of Xianyang City with a lot of money, and then renamed them Zhao's firm.

At the same time.

With Cui Wenzi's medicine to cure the plague.

The plague in Xianyang City was also temporarily controlled, and there were more public toilets in Xianyang City at this time, with the ban issued by Su Mo, the people of Xianyang City were still a little reluctant, and even a few people openly disobeyed the ban to defecate and defecate everywhere, and as a result, they were caught by the evil guards.

In order to set an example, the evil guards personally castrated people in the court.

Since then, the people of Xianyang have become more conscious.

Everyone went out to bring their own toilets, and when everyone used the public toilets, they also discovered the benefits of this thing.

First of all, it can be used to cover up the shame, no longer need to expose the private parts in the public as before, and secondly, it is also very convenient, there is a public toilet every 100 steps in Xianyang City, everyone goes out and walks a few steps to arrive, and finally the excrement of the public toilet can be treated centrally, so that the air in Xianyang City is a little fresher, and even a special person was born to deal with these excrements, which is transported to the farmland as fertilizer every day, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

Half a month later.

Zhang Han's distilled liquor was also made and personally delivered to Su Mo's mansion.

Looking at the bright-colored distilled liquor in front of him, Su Mo took out the wine glass and took a sip, about fifty readings, although it is still not as high as the alcohol degree, but it is a great improvement compared to the wine of the Qin Dynasty in the past, you must know that the alcohol degree of this era is about the same as rice wine.

In ancient times, it was often said that a thousand cups are not drunk.

It doesn't feel very difficult to make you drink a thousand glasses of rice wine.

The aroma of wine wafts in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It didn't take long for Cui Wenzi to smell the wine and come to him.

"What kind of wine is this?" Cui Wenzi's nose twitched twice, and his tongue was full of relish.

"This is my most recent distilled spirit, how about trying it?" Su Mo sent the distilled liquor to Cui Wenzi, who was also known as the drunkard doctor, who had read countless wines in his life, and was naturally the person who knew the most about wine.

Cui Wenzi was also not polite, and poured it down violently while holding the wine jar.

As a result, I didn't expect the degree of this distilled liquor to be too high, and Cui Wenzi drank such a strong liquor for the first time, and immediately choked and coughed.

At the same time, an old face was flushed, but his mouth breathed a sigh of relief, and he roared: "Good wine, this wine is so strong, it is simply the best wine that the old man has ever drunk in his life." ”

With Cui Wenzi's appreciation, Su Mo knew that it was okay.

There should be no shortage of sales for this distilled spirit.

Thinking of this, Su Mo raised his head and looked at Zhang Han: "Master Zhang, I want to borrow some people from your Ministry of Industry who can make paper and make wine." ”

Since he was going to open a shop to sell paper and distilled spirits, it was natural that he also had to have his own workshops and craftsmen, and there was no shortage of these workers.

Although the papermaking process is now considered a top secret in the Qin Dynasty, Su Mo, as the inventor and the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Han still has to give this face, so he agreed on the spot.

After sending Zhang Han away, Su Mo saw that Cui Wenzi was already holding the distilled liquor and didn't let go.

"Zhao Gao, this wine is so good, after drinking your wine, if you go to drink the old man's previous wine, it will suddenly be no longer fragrant." Cui Wenzi's face was complicated, his eyes looked at the distilled liquor in his hand, and then at the wine gourd on his waist, and sighed in his mouth.

"It's not easy to drink this wine, as long as you stay with me and help me do things, it will be okay to drink as much as you want from this distilled spirit in the future."

Su Mo glanced at Cui Wenzi and said very casually.

This Cui Wenzi is a talent, and he can also refine the elixir of life, since Su Mo has encountered such a person, there is no reason to let it go, and he must keep it by his side, even if he is forced to stay.

As if he heard the meaning of Su Mo's words, Cui Wenzi's eyes fluttered, and he muttered: "Then it seems that the old man can't do without you in this life." ”

………………

After handing over the Zhao family firm to Xiao Yue.

Su Mo threw himself into the action of controlling the plague again, he took out all the first batch of distilled liquor brewed by the Ministry of Industry, and disinfected the streets and alleys of Xianyang City every day.

With Cui Wenzi's medicine, plus alcohol disinfection.

The plague in Xianyang City has been greatly controlled, and although many people are still dead, many more people have been saved.

When the plague is about to be eradicated.

The monthly Great Dynasty Meeting of Great Qin also began.

Su Mo sorted out his clothes, and when he stepped into the Qilin shop, he found that the civil and military officials had already stood up.

The First Emperor sat on top.

There was a eunuch beside him who took out the holy decree.

"Zhao Gao takes the order!"

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict, said: Seek governance in the close to the people of the officials, follow the good, teach loyalty, respect, and praise. Zhao Gao, the prime minister of China, changed the law, abolished the Lianzai, destroyed Tu'an, rescued the prince of Fusu, and eliminated the Xianyang plague...... Therefore, it was built in the lord of the Marquis. Hou Wei bowed, protected Qin Bang, Xuanli Quartet, Yu play! In fact, the Lu of Bingguo, the side is only confused, and the sky is bright, but you can be careless! Be diligent and refrain from it. ”

said a lot, but Su Mo didn't understand a few words.

But he knew that this was the holy decree of the First Emperor to make him a marquis, after all, this was what the two of them promised at the beginning, as long as he dealt with the Xianyang plague, then he could be crowned a marquis.

And over the past year, Su Mo has made countless contributions.

Together, these credits are enough to seal the marquis.

Therefore, after hearing Su Mo's will to be made a marquis, although his face was a little strange, no one stood up to oppose it.

After being stunned for a while, the first emperor's decree was finally read to the last sentence.

That is, to discuss Su Mo's title.

"In the canonization, Prime Minister Zhao Gao is the Marquis of Lun, and the title is ...... Public toilet Hou! ”

(In the end, I played a wave of Qin officials' stalks, and the protagonist was finally sealed, but the mythical world is not over yet, do you know why?) The next chapter is revealed.

Finally, ask for a recommendation ticket. ）
