Chapter 11 The Emperor also wants a piece of the pie
Chapter XI
Qin Xi is very busy now, so busy that the dark circles under his eyes come out, and he is so busy that his father Zhao Zheng has been angry once he has come.
Fortunately, the recruitment has been handed over to the housekeeper, and now that the spring ploughing time has passed, the recruitment is very smooth, and it is enough to recruit in just two days.
One by one, the drawings were taken out of Qin Xi's room and handed over to the craftsmen to make. Qin Xi even asked Wang Jian to help him buy a large number of materials, even pig iron, which immediately made the entire Xianyang City uproar.
Officials with ulterior motives even complained to the First Emperor about Wang Qian's situation, wanting to take the opportunity to pull Wang Jian off the horse. The result can be imagined, either he was dismissed from office or he was scolded. After all, the First Emperor knew who Wang Jian helped buy pig iron, and even the First Emperor contributed to it.
The First Emperor even ordered Wang Jian and his son to mobilize troops to build houses in the three places that Qin Xi fancied according to Qin Xi's requirements, and it is conceivable that the First Emperor smiled at Qin Xi's favor.
However, Qin Xi didn't know that Qin Xi basically didn't leave the room after returning home that day, he was drawing drawings every day, and there was a basket of rewashed linen cloth thrown away. Qin Xi just told Wang Jian about these things, and Wang Jian took them with a wave of his hand.
At the same time, strange tools were made, covered with sackcloth, and transported out of the city.
On this day, Gongzihai, who was out playing, was attracted by this big car and a big cart of things, and after many inquiries, he found Qin Xi's yard.
Gongzihai was about to go in to visit this strange man, but suddenly he was stopped, and after the man said something in Gongzihai's ear, Gongzihai's face changed and he ran away.
Soon after, Gongzi Hai knelt in front of the First Emperor.
"I don't know what is the important matter for my father to summon his sons?" Childe Hai lowered his head and asked.
"It's okay, you go down." The First Emperor said.
"No." Although Gongzihai had doubts in his heart, he still retreated in an orderly manner.
If Gongzihai is careful, he will definitely be able to find that Zhao Gao, who often accompanies the First Emperor, is gone.
After Gongzi Hai withdrew, the First Emperor looked at Wang Jian who was sitting on the side and said, "If it weren't for the secret guards, even if they reported it, I'm afraid Hai would have to meet with Xi." โ
Wang Jian arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Gongzi Xi is in Xianyang City, this matter will happen sooner or later, Your Majesty can stop it now, but it may not be able to stop it in the future." โ
"Makes sense." The first emperor immediately said: "Spread the edict, order Fusu to go to Hexi, follow General Meng Tian to study, order Gao, Lu, and go to Qidi Jixia School Palace for further study, and set off on the same day!" โ
"No!" The eunuchs on the side immediately went to preach the edict.
Wang Jian was shocked, he didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would transfer all the other four sons out of Xianyang in order to protect Gongzixi, what a pampering Gongzixi is.
At this time, the First Emperor said, "General, how is the progress in the three places outside the city?" โ
Wang Jian replied: "Back to Your Majesty, I have already arranged according to the instructions of Prince Xi, just waiting for Prince Xi to arrive." โ
"Hmm." The First Emperor said: "Now that my Great Qin has exterminated the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, the treasury is no longer abundant, and I want to ask for fifty percent of the profits for the treasury in these three places, I don't know what the general means?" โ
Emperor Shi has been paying attention to Qin Xi's previous small businesses in the past few days, and found that those small businesses are getting bigger and bigger, and even changing the living habits of the Great Qin people, making more money than ordinary merchants. So, His Majesty the First Emperor was tempted and planned to get a piece of the pie.
Wang Jian immediately got up and arched his hand and said: "As long as Your Majesty speaks, the last general is willing to offer fifty percent of the benefit coefficient of the last general!" โ
The First Emperor waved his hand and smiled: "It is impossible for the general to share half of the interests as long as the general's interests." Today, you and I will go out of the palace together and go to this kid to talk, how about it? โ
"Everything is at your Majesty's disposal." Wang Jian said.
And when the two arrived at Qin Xi's courtyard, Qin Xi was already out of the city, and the two had to rush out of the city.
Qin Xi went to the coal yard first and looked at the situation in the coal yard.
Qin Xi watched the workers digging coal with hoes like this, making it dusty, so he instructed the overseer: "Sprinkle some water on the ground, and when the workers dig coal, they wear linen on their faces." And you must be careful, just dig down flat, never dig a hole. โ
"No! The subordinates will arrange it! "The person who supervised the work was arranged by Wang Qian, and at first glance, he had military experience and was very efficient.
Qin Xi saw that the things he ordered were arranged, so he asked someone to pull two truckloads of coal, and then rushed to another place.
"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! By the time Wang Jian and the others arrived here, Qin Xi had already left.
The overseer named Zhou Yi hurriedly ran over and saluted Zhao Zheng and Wang Jian on the horse: "I don't know what the Lord and the General have to order?" โ
Wang Jian asked, "Is the son here?" โ
Zhou Yi replied: "Gongzi has just pulled two truckloads of coal and left. โ
Zhao Zheng asked, "Today should be the day when the workers are paid." โ
Zhou Yi arched his hand and replied: "Yes, it has been seven days, and the son has already brought the wages, and it will be released after work today." โ
"Well, it must be distributed on time, and it must not be swallowed." Zhao Zheng explained.
"No!"
Wang Jian asked, "Then let's go over there, shall we?" โ
"Let's go." Zhao Zheng turned the horse's head and said.

After Qin Xi came to the construction site on the other side, he asked someone to transport the coal into the pottery factory, and then went to the paper factory.
Qin Xi looked at the huge shed and nodded with satisfaction, although it was full of weeds, it was very good after this era.
Everything that has become here is according to his own requirements, it is well arranged, the pool is soaked with bamboo, everything is carried out in an orderly manner, Qin Xi only needs to guide the blatantly final and some complicated steps.
At this moment, the housekeeper came to report that the eldest brother Wang Jian and his father were here, and said that there was an important matter to discuss.
Qin Xi had no choice but to put down what he was doing and walked out of the paper factory.
I saw Wang Jian and his father surrounding his horse, pointing to the saddle and stirrups on the horse and talking. Qin Xi said: "This is called a saddle and stirrups, which can make people ride horses more smoothly, if you like it, I will give the drawings to the eldest brother?" โ
"Stinky boy! Father? Zhao Zheng said angrily.
Qin Xi rolled his eyes and said: "You are not a military general, this thing can improve the combat power of cavalry, and it is understandable to give credit to my eldest brother as a general." โ
"You, you, you! I'm angry with my father! "Zhao Zheng can't wait to beat up Qin Xi, this kid.
Qin Xi asked, "What's the matter with me, I still have something to do." โ
Only then did the two of them realize the purpose of this trip, so Zhao Zheng and Qin Xi said it.
Qin Xi just thought about it for a while, and said, "Yes, but His Majesty the Emperor must protect my business, and I want an official position?" โ
"What do you want to do with an official position?" Zhao Zheng asked.
Qin Xi said: "I'm not for rights, but for the sake of doing things well in the future." โ
"We'll play this to Your Majesty." Zhao Zheng said.
Suddenly, Qin Xi said to the two: "Dad, big brother, I know that you are very loyal to Daqin, but you can't sell me anymore?" If I draw too much attention to His Majesty the Emperor, the more dangerous I will be. โ
Zhao Zheng and Wang Jian glanced at each other, and both of them held back a smile.
