CHAPTER XIV

The kiln factory is very spacious, and the frame of the First Emperor can also come in.

When the officials came in, they saw that the people here were shirtless, either living mud, or carrying mud and shaped earthen pots. The temperature here is also very high, and the heat is coming from the kiln.

Li Si asked, "Lord Qin took us to see these earthen pots?" ”

Qin Xi smiled: "Don't be impatient, these are all directed at the pottery embryo." ”

Qin Xi turned his head to the First Emperor on the frame and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister wants to invite the general and the minister to go in and open the kiln together, and also ask His Majesty the Emperor for permission." ”

"That's right." The First Emperor said.

Wang Jian walked out of the queue and asked Qin Xi, "Say, what do you want me to do with my eldest brother." ”

"Big brother, wait a minute, I still have to prepare." Qin Xi said and went to prepare.

Where are the hundreds of officials talking about it, no one in Xianyang City doesn't know about Wang Jian and people swearing and forgetting the New Year's friendship, but few people know who the person who swore with Wang Jian is, but I didn't expect it to be the strange person who made paper in front of me.

Qin Xi quickly had a wooden table brought in with a few leaves and an iron tongs on it, as well as an earthen pot of water.

Qin Xi said to Wang Qian: "Big brother, as soon as I talk about it later, I will use my sword to split this layer of sealed soil on top of the kiln. ”

"Good!" Wang Jian said and pulled out the saber at his waist.

Qin Xi picked up the pliers, and then said, "Open!" ”

Wang Jian quickly waved the bronze sword in his hand, and with one sword, he split the sealed soil, only to see that in the bright red firelight inside, there were several redder objects.

Qin Xi took the pliers, took out a few cups inside, and put them on the table. The cup is reddish in color and has a very high amount of heat.

After Qin Xi put the leaves on it, he burned them directly, knowing that this was a fresh leaf. At the same time, Qin Xi quickly picked up the water and poured it directly on it, and suddenly the boiling water splashed everywhere, and even made a collision sound.

But after calming down, the color of the cup also changed, revealing a dull black color.

Qin Xi picked up the teacup and brought it to Wang Qian, and Wang Jian immediately crawled to present it to the First Emperor after seeing it.

The First Emperor was in the car, looking at the cup in his hand, and there was a leaf in the cup, which was simply too beautiful.

This is Qin Xi took out the remaining cups from it, and under Qin Xi's different techniques, the cups showed different colors, some white, some red, and some green, which surprised everyone.

Even the workers who fired it were amazed, unable to believe that it was made of the clay, and a sense of pride rose in their hearts.

Li Si picked up a cup and said, "What a skillful workmanship, I didn't expect that lump of soil to be able to burn such a beautiful cup." ”

An official picked up the cup and asked, "It is a pleasure to drink the strongest wine from this cup." ”

Qin Xi said with a smile: "Except for this set of porcelain, which is given to His Majesty the Emperor, we will sell the rest, and all adults will be able to sell it in Xianyang City at that time." ”

At this time, the voice of the First Emperor came out of the car and said, "Qin Xi, remember, the profits of the paper mill and this pottery factory are traded to the treasury. ”

"No!"

Qin Xi couldn't help but smile, the words of the First Emperor at this time were undoubtedly protecting himself, as long as the First Emperor was there, he would not be in any danger, and others would not dare to touch his own industry. Even if the First Emperor died, it would be ten years later, and he would already have enough strength to protect himself.

Sure enough, some aristocratic clans dismissed their thoughts, but it was impossible for them to give up, as long as Qin Xi did something to make the emperor angry, they would immediately fall into the ground.

At this time, the First Emperor asked, "How is your iron ore handled?" ”

Qin Xi immediately replied: "Mining has begun, the equipment for iron-making is being built, and it is estimated that iron-making will be available in seven days." ”

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to take a look at it in seven days, don't let me down." The First Emperor said.

"No." Qin Xi sighed in his heart, sure enough, the first emperor would definitely ask about ironmaking, and he couldn't hide it at all.

Suddenly, the First Emperor said, "I heard that you have made something called a saddle stirrup, which can increase the combat power of our army, let me see it." ”

Qin Xi looked at Wang Jian and saw Wang Jian shrug his shoulders, and he didn't know if he told the First Emperor.

Qin Xi raised his head and said, "As long as Your Majesty agrees to my request, the minister will offer the saddle." ”

"Bold! Your Majesty wants something from you, that's your honor! If you dare to negotiate terms with Your Majesty, you should be put to death! Some of the ministers shouted at once.

Qin Xi snorted coldly and said, "According to the laws of Great Qin, it is not illegal to put forward conditions to the king. But the emperor did not speak, but you convicted me, but you committed the crime of transgression. ”

"You, you, you!" The official was swallowed so much that he couldn't say a word.

Qin Xi said loudly: "Please remember, my Great Qin is a country ruled by law, this is the law of the country set by filial piety, and whoever does not abide by it is not respectful to filial piety!" Disrespectful to the kings of the past! Disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

All the officials lowered their heads, the merit of unifying the world had made them forget Qin Fa, but they didn't expect to be taught a lesson by a young man today.

"Alright." The First Emperor said, "If you have any requests, put them forward." ”

Qin Xi said: "Your Majesty is not allowed to conquer the Xiongnu north within five years, and stop building the Great Wall and large palaces within ten years!" Don't cruise the world for five years! ”

"Presumptuous! Licentious! Licentious! These ministers jumped up again, almost pointing at Qin Xi's nose and scolding.

"Enough!" The First Emperor shouted angrily, so frightened everyone that they didn't dare to speak.

The First Emperor said: "I can promise you not to conquer the Xiongnu in the north for five years, not to tour the world, and not to build a palace within ten years, but the Great Wall is the fortress of my Great Qin to block the Xiongnu, and it must not be stopped!" ”

Qin Xi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there is a saddle, plus my Great Qin strong crossbow, it should be my Great Qin who went north to capture the Huns, why do you want to build the Great Wall?" ”

"Don't you want me not to conquer the Xiongnu north within five years?" The First Emperor asked.

"The northern expedition to the Xiongnu requires hundreds of thousands of troops, which cost the people and money, but it is not the same to capture the Xiongnu with a maximum of 1,000 people and horses to attack the Xiongnu tribe, and it will not even consume national strength." Qin Xi said.

"Interesting, you come up with a specific plan, and if it works, I will agree to your request." The First Emperor in the car had a smile on his face.

"When the time comes, the written evidence will be proof!" Qin Xi said inch by inch.

"Good!" However, the First Emperor directly agreed.

"I'm waiting for your plan and saddle, back to Xianyang! Wang Jian Li Si stayed! The First Emperor ordered.

"No!"

So the hundred officials and the first emperor left in a grand way, leaving only Wang Jian and Li Si.

Li Si pulled Wang Jian aside, glanced at Qin Xi, made sure that Qin Xi didn't look at this side, and then whispered to Wang Qian: "Is he the legendary son of His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

Wang Jian whispered: "It seems that Your Majesty left you behind knowing that you had guessed, but don't reveal Your Majesty's identity, otherwise you and I can't afford the consequences." ”

"Yes, yes." Li Si laughed.
