Chapter VII

"It's so fragrant, it's delicious! Delicious! Qin Xi lay on the bed in a sleepy position, still biting the quilt in his mouth, looking like he was eating deliciously.

"Smack!"

After a crisp sound, Qin Xi's eyes opened suddenly, and then he jumped up directly with a scream. was about to scold, but when he saw that it was his father, he suddenly lost his temper.

Qin Xi smiled and asked, "Dad, why did you come here so early?" ”

"Is it early? It's already noon, so snooze, how can it be done in the future! Zhao Zheng said sternly.

However, Qin Xi didn't listen to it at all, and when he heard that it was noon, he immediately quickly dressed up, and then ran out directly, making Zhao Zheng stunned, and asked himself if he hadn't cleaned up this kid for a long time and forgot his majesty.

After Zhao Zheng walked out of the room, the housekeeper said, "Master, the prince personally prepared food for you." ”

Zhao Zheng's heart warmed, although he was in a high position, he was still a person, his son was so filial to himself, it was impossible to have no reaction in his heart.

After a while, a fragrance came, which shocked Zhao Zheng, the housekeeper and Zhao Gao, it was so fragrant, and when they smelled it, saliva came up.

After a while, the dishes were served, and Zhao Zheng looked at this completely different dish from before, and it was a little difficult to put down the chopsticks. Qin Xi has no time to take care of a few people, he hasn't eaten cooked food for more than two years, although the salt in this era is a bit bitter and the seasoning is not enough, but it still tastes fragrant.

Seeing Qin Xi gobbling it up, Zhao Zheng also tried to taste it, and immediately cheered, and then followed the wind and clouds.

Qin Xi couldn't eat it first, propped it on the case, and said, "Dad, how about I give you a credit for receiving merit in front of the emperor?" ”

Zhao Zheng said while eating: "What credit, tell me about it?" In fact, I didn't care much about Qin Xi's words at all, just subconsciously accosting him.

Qin Xi said: "The salt we eat is too dirty, and I heard that the yield is not high, and ordinary people can't afford it." I have a way to increase salt production and make it cleaner, and you say that's a big credit. ”

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks and said, "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course, but I can't hand it over for free, Dad, you help me get through the relationship with the government, I need a few shops in good locations. By the way, do you still have a craftsman? Let me come here, I will do the big ticket, and I will pay the wages of those craftsmen. Qin Xi said.

Zhao Zheng thought for a while and said, "Yes, but in addition to giving the salt making method to your father, you also have to write down the details of the change to your father." ”

"Huh? Do you want to change the rules? Dad, you don't really want to persuade the emperor to change the law, I'm still so young, you dare to believe my thoughts? Zhao Zheng said.

"Do you think that being a father does not make a choice? You can write it out and give it to your father. Zhao Zheng said.

"Okay." Qin Xi agreed, anyway, it is equivalent to writing a paper again, it's not a big deal, at most, Great Qin will be in chaos first, but with the First Emperor here, it won't be too messy.

Qin Xi said: "But Dad, you have to find me a few more cooks, and I will pay the salary." ”

Zhao Zheng frowned and asked, "What do you want so many people for?" ”

Qin Xi explained: "You need people to make wine and sell wine, you need people to squeeze oil and sell oil, you need people to make furniture and sell furniture, and you need people to open a restaurant." These need people, and if you don't send enough people, I'll have to go out and recruit. ”

Zhao Zheng frowned and said, "What you said, except for selling wine and this restaurant, it doesn't seem to make money, right?" ”

Qin Xi smiled: "What do you know?" As long as I do business, I will never lose money. When I make money, I'll buy land outside! ”

"Daqin is forbidden to buy and sell land." Zhao Zhengzheng said.

Qin Xi said with a smile: "I bought wasteland, not cultivated land, and maybe the wasteland will thank me when the time comes, after all, if you want to open a school and educate the people, you need something like mine?" ”

"What's that?" Zhao Zheng hurriedly asked.

Qin Xi said, "Don't ask, even if I tell you now?" Can you give me money to buy land? That's dozens of acres of land, and you have to build a house next to it, which costs a lot in the early stage. ”

"Humph!" Zhao Zheng got up and said: "For my father, I will send someone to get the method of making salt before dark, and the details of the change are that my father will limit you to complete it within seven days, otherwise you will continue to stay in the mountains." With that, he turned around and left.

Qin Xi looked at his father's back in a daze, why did he suddenly get angry, like playing with a child's temper.

The housekeeper squatted down and said to Qin Xi: "Childe, don't be so rude to the master in the future, if it weren't for the fact that the master was in a good mood today, the son would have suffered from flesh and skin." ”

Qin Xi got up and said angrily: "Hmph, the old stubborn, he holds the official master's frame every day, the bigger the official, the more impersonal he is." Gu Shushan also said that Xiaogong once went to the field to help the peasants work, and he was so official that he even played an official tone against his son. ”

"Childe is cautious! Childe is cautious! The housekeeper was so frightened by Qin Xi's words that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't wait to go up and cover Qin Xi's mouth.

Qin Xi said to the housekeeper: "The matter of making wine and squeezing oil will be handed over to you, by the way, you can do the matter of mixing wine with water yourself, you must follow my method, otherwise you will drink the dead." I'm going to make some salt. ”

"No." The butler arched his hand and said.

After Qin Xi returned to the room, he took the blank bamboo slips and began to write hard, muttering something all the time.

On the other side, after the First Emperor returned to Xianyang Palace, what Qin Xi said was recorded and placed in front of the First Emperor's case.

After the First Emperor saw it, he smashed the bamboo slip directly on the case, so frightened that Zhao Gao and others knelt directly on the ground. The First Emperor suddenly laughed and said, "Good boy! Good guts! You can say that again! ”

"Come on, pass on Wang Qian!" The First Emperor said.

"No."

When Wang Jian arrived, Wang Jian found that there was no one around, only the emperor sitting there waiting for him.

"The last general, Wang Qian, see the emperor, the emperor is ten thousand years! Great Qin 10,000 years! Wang Jian bowed.

The First Emperor pointed to the position next to him and said, "General Wang Jian come and sit, I have something to tell you." ”

"No!"

Wang Jian sat straight across from the emperor, but a pair of eyes peeked at the wine glass in front of him from time to time.

The First Emperor smiled: "Don't look at it, the wine has been drunk last time, but it should be sold in Xianyang City soon." ”

"The last general is ashamed to let His Majesty see the joke." Wang Jian said embarrassedly.

The First Emperor smiled and said, "I like you like this." I came to you today because I wanted you to accept someone as a righteous son, I wonder if the general is willing? ”

"Collect the righteous son?" Wang Qian's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said, "I don't know who Your Majesty is talking about?" Wang Jian is a shallow learner, and he is afraid that he will mislead people's children. ”

The First Emperor patted Wang Jian on the shoulder and said, "You know this person, it's the kid in the mountains and wilderness." ”

Wang Jian immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the last general will never dare, and please ask Your Majesty to take back your life!" ”

But the First Emperor said, "This is my edict. ”

"No!" Wang Jian was bitter at this time, he was going to resign and return to his hometown, but now that he suddenly came to this matter, I am afraid that it will be difficult to retire.
