Chapter 70: Jingjia Class
Ying Zheng'an slept all night, and when he woke up in the morning, he had completely recovered, and his mental state was even better than before, probably because of the overdose of Linggu Dan.
After breakfast, Li Si was called again, Ying Zheng changed into civilian clothes, took Zhao Gao, and went out with Li Si.
Zhao Gao prepared five horses, two of which were for the second and third watches.
The five men got on their horses and headed straight for the pottery factory outside the city.
"Your Majesty, it's all right, right?" Lees asked.
"Not only is there no hindrance, but the widow feels that his spirit is more than the original." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"That red Linggu Pill, the king will continue to eat it, don't worry about not enough." Lees said.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "The widow eats one a day." β
Yesterday, Ying Zheng asked Li Si how this Linggu Pill healed this energy attack launched by Tai Sui, but Li Si did not answer directly, which couldn't help but make Ying Zheng a little more curious about Linggu Dan.
"Sir, what is the current state of the pottery factory?" Ying Zheng asked.
"It's basically finished." Li Si said, "Lu Xiangbang sent a number of craftsmen, and after these craftsmen came to the pottery kiln factory, they learned from Jing Fan's mouth that the king was going to reuse them, and they were all very happy. β
"Hehe, that's fine." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "In the future, this pottery kiln factory will be used as a camp for these craftsmen, and it will also be used as an exclusive manufacturing place for the Wang family." β
"Your Majesty, the number of craftsmen is now great, and these people know many secrets. It's better to send some sergeants and protect them. Lees said.
"Yes, these craftsmen are more precious than anything else, and the widow has a lot of things to do." Ying Zheng looked back at Zhao Gao and said, "Zhao Gao, go back and ask Meng Wuduo to send some soldiers to protect this pottery kiln factory, and then build some residences on the vacant land next to it." β
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Gao replied with his hand.
Ying Zheng brought Zhao Gao and the second and third watches to come, which was actually a little inappropriate, because many things known by the craftsmen were inconvenient for Zhao Gao and the second and third watches to know, but Ying Zheng promised Li Si to let them stay outside the door, and Li Si reluctantly agreed.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the gate of the pottery kiln factory.
I saw that the courtyard wall was much higher than the original, and the dilapidated gate had been replaced.
The new gate is very magnificent, and it really has the style of the royal family, and you can guess that this is not an ordinary place without hanging a plaque.
Ying Zheng and Li Si got off their horses and entered the gate.
Zhao Gao waited outside the door with the second and third watches.
In fact, Zhao Gao has been to this pottery kiln factory many times, and he is quite familiar with the craftsmen inside, but the purpose of Ying Zheng's coming is related to some secrets, so it is naturally inconvenient to take Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao didn't care, he went to a slightly farther place to walk the horse, leaving the two brothers at the door to guard the door like door gods.
The situation inside the gate is also different, the ground is flattened, the road is planned, and some flowers are planted next to it. The houses were also renovated and new houses were added, some of which were temporary shelters for the craftsmen, some were warehouses for storing utensils, and some were newly built pottery kilns.
There are still a few that have not been completed, and the craftsmen are busy.
Ever since the high-ranking craftsmen in LΓΌ Buwei's mansion had been sent here, the ordinary craftsmen had been withdrawn.
Ying Zheng couldn't stop nodding when he saw the renovated pottery kiln factory.
A young craftsman saw Ying Zheng and Li Si walking slowly inside, ran back and told Jing Fan.
Jing Fan heard the young craftsman say that Li Si brought someone in, guessed that it was Yingzheng who came, so he hurriedly came out to greet him, and a large group of craftsmen followed.
"Lord Li's side is the King of Great Qin?" A craftsman walking behind muttered quietly.
"Presumably so, depending on age and temperament, it's right." Another whispered.
"Let's keep up." Walking in the front was an older craftsman, who turned around and said, "Listen to what he has to say, it's a matter for the rest of our lives." β
The two craftsmen in the back stopped talking and quickly followed.
"Jing Fan greets the king." Jing Fan knelt on one knee and bowed his hands.
Jing Fan fell to his knees with a slump.
"Hurry up, please, no formality." Ying Zheng raised his hand and motioned for everyone to get up.
Jing Fan stood up, and the craftsmen behind him also got up one after another.
"The widow didn't expect that in just ten days, the pottery kiln factory is really different." Ying Zheng exclaimed.
"After all, they are all the top craftsmen in the world." Jing Fan said, "If all the craftsmen who built the Gucheng Palace are gathered, it will definitely be faster and better." β
"They'll come over." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please." Jing Fan got out of the way and made a gesture of please.
Ying Zheng walked over and walked forward side by side with Jing Fan, Li Si followed behind, and a group of craftsmen followed.
Jing Fan led everyone to a very spacious hall.
Obviously, there are now more than 100 craftsmen in the pottery kiln factory, and this is a special place for deliberations.
Someone moved a chair and placed it in front of the back wall, which mimicked the placement of the king's chair.
"Your Majesty, please be seated." Jing Fan made another gesture of please.
Ying Zheng nodded, and then sat down in a chair.
"Call all of them here, the widow has something to say to them." Ying Zheng said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jing Fan responded, turned around and arranged a few people to gather all the craftsmen who were working here.
After a while, everyone was together.
Because there was a certain amount of space to be set aside for Yingzheng, there were more than a dozen people standing outside the door, but the speech could still be heard.
Ying Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Presumably, everyone has already communicated with the previous ten workers, but the widow still needs to ask your wishes. β
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ying Zheng, as if they were expecting something.
"The widow transferred you out of Lu Xiangbang's mansion, nominally wanting you to make some things for the widow's wedding." Ying Zheng glanced at the craftsmen and said, "But in fact, the widow wants to keep you for his own use, and you don't have to go back to the Lu Mansion." Would you like that? β
"Yes." As soon as Ying Zheng's words fell, several voices rang out in unison.
The craftsmen looked at each other again and made eye contact.
"We will serve the king." A slightly older craftsman spoke, apparently with some prestige among the craftsmen.
"Yes, follow the king."
"Yes, I'm not going back to Lu Mansion."
"We can't ask for it."
The craftsmen in the back said babblingly.
Ying Zheng raised a hand and motioned for the craftsmen to be quiet.
The hall fell silent, and all the craftsmen focused their eyes on Ying Zheng again.
"In this case, how did the widow promise Jing Fan and the others before, but now how he promises to the craftsmen who have just come to this pottery kiln factory." Ying Zheng said solemnly, "In the future, you will be the people of Great Qin, and every month you will eat the king's family's money, and the widow will send someone to take your family to Xianyang, so that you can be reunited." β
"Your Majesty......," the old man shouted, and fell to his knees with a puff.
Puff ...... Puff ......
Except for the dozen or so people under Jing Fan's hands, all the craftsmen who came after them fell to their knees.
"We will die to serve the king." Everyone shouted in unison.
"Good!" Ying Zheng raised a hand and motioned for everyone to get up, "Let's get even." β
The craftsmen got up one after another, and no one swept the dust from their knees.
"If you have any requests, just ask." Ying Zheng once again glanced at everyone and said.
The craftsmen looked at each other again, but no one spoke.
Jing Fan looked at everyone and said, "Say it, whatever you want in your heart, just say it, our king is not like those powerful people, you have passed this village, but there is no such shop." β
The older craftsman stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, can you reward us with some guys who take advantage of it, we have been aggrieved in the Lu Mansion for more than half a year, and the guys have all embroidered." β
"Naturally, there is no problem, how can there be no guy who takes advantage of the work." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
The older craftsman smiled in response.
Ying Zheng looked at the older craftsman and asked, "What's your name?" β
"His name is Tian Yi, a native of Qi." Tian Yi arched his hand and said.
"Qi people, surnamed Tian?" Ying Zheng asked with some surprise, "Could it be the Qi royal family?" β
"Maybe, but I haven't heard my grandfather mention it." Tian Yi said.
"Hahaha......"
Tian Yi's answer made everyone laugh.
Ying Zheng shook his head while laughing, and said, "You are very good at joking, I don't know how you are capable." β
Without waiting for Tian Yi to answer, Jing Fan stepped forward and said, "Back to the king, Tian Yi's craftsman skills are very good, and he is also quite respected among us. β
Being able to be quite respected among the world's first-class craftsmen is enough to show Tian Yi's ability.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "The widow ordered Tian Yi to be Jing Fan's deputy and be in charge of the development of tools and instruments, you have no objections, right?" β
"We obey the king's will." The crowd said.
If everyone expects it, how can anyone have any objections.
Tian Yigang was about to kneel down to thank him, but was stopped by Yingzheng waving his hand.
"If there are no outsiders, there is no need for Shane." Ying Zheng looked at him and said, "What else do you want?" β
After everyone saw that Tian Feng made a request, he was sealed, and they all raised their courage.
"Your Majesty, I have no place to live."
"Your Majesty, I didn't marry a daughter-in-law in my hometown, and there was no one to pick up, can you help me find a daughter-in-law?"
"Your Majesty, do you have meat for your meal at night?"
β¦β¦
The conversation box is open, but there are few reliable words.
"Alright." Without waiting for Yingzheng to speak, Jing Fan couldn't listen anymore, "Ask you to make some requests, you see what nonsense you all said." β
"It's okay, it's okay." Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
"It might as well be so, Your Majesty." Jing Fan said, "I will ask them for their opinions, and when they are sorted out, they will be handed over to the king." β
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "That's fine." From this day on, you are the steward of this pottery factory, and you are in charge of all the affairs here, and the widow will send some sergeants to protect your safety. The only thing is that you are not allowed to go out without permission, and if you need anything, the widow will send someone to buy it at the market and send it over. β
Ying Zheng's original intention was to keep the secret here, but for the craftsmen, they were also afraid of being caught by Lu Buwei again.
"The vassals obey the king's orders." Jing Fan also changed his name.
"Okay, from now on, you will be called Jingjiaban, and this place will be called Jingyao." Ying Zheng said.
Everyone rejoiced and thanked them in unison.
These world's top craftsmen finally have their own shelter.
But I didn't know that the seemingly small Jing family class played a great role in Yingzheng in the future.
