When the First Emperor saw Fu Zikang's posture, he immediately understood what Fu Zikang meant.

What's going on lately?

Why do you have to retreat and talk about secrets......

The First Emperor looked at Fu Zikang who was tall and thin, walking vainly, not looking like he was strong in martial arts.

Turning his head to Gai Nie, Meng Yi, Wang Xuan, Li Si, and Zhao Gao who followed him, he said: "I ...... alone with Fu Zikang."

"Nie wants to follow." Gai Nie didn't wait for the First Emperor to finish speaking, and said coldly.

The last time Gai Nie was not there, the first emperor was attacked by Ying Cheng, which left a lot of shadows in Gai Nie's heart.

Gai Nie now looks like everyone is going to attack the First Emperor, and he seems to have the First Emperor's persecution paranoia.

He now attaches great importance to the safety of the First Emperor.

Everyone, including the First Emperor, glanced at Gai Nie in surprise, obviously not expecting that the first to speak out against it was Gai Nie, who had always supported Fu Zikang.

Fu Zikang looked at Gai Nie, thought about it for a while, and thought that Gai Nie had been in Chang'an Jun's Mansion, and Gai Nie should have seen all the objects made by Ying Cheng, so he nodded.

"Yes."

"Chang'anjun's wealth is really an eye-opener, and this miracle is nothing more than a miracle."

Li Si first praised Yingcheng, and then turned his head to Fu Zikang and said in a deep voice: "Previously, Fu Zhisu Neishi clearly said in the Council Hall that the money sent by Chang'an Jun to govern Su Neishi Mansion is enough to build a gallop road. Looking at it now, although the money here is huge, it is only five years of military salary. Fu Zhisu Neishi deceived His Majesty like this, I don't know what this means? ”

Fu Zikang glanced at the First Emperor, then peeked at Li Si, lowered his head and said nothing.

But the meaning is obvious—Gai Nie can come along, but you can't.

Li Si was a little angry in his heart.

Si is now the prime minister of Zuo, talking to you, but you are so sloppy.

Meng Yi's eyes widened since he arrived at the Zhisu Inner History Mansion.

He had just learned from his father Meng Wu that Ying Chengcheng could make glass, and today he saw that there was five times the amount of money from Qin's military salary last year.

The glittering golden light of the gold blinded his eyes, and the visual impact was full.

"Right Minister, is this really five times the military salary? Wouldn't Chang'an Jun be able to provide for the 600,000 troops of Great Qin to fight for five years with his own strength? ”

This internal history didn't pay attention to what Fu Zikang said at all, and was still pulling Wang Juan to confirm the amount of money here.

"That's true."

Wang Juan was shocked as he replied.

Chang'an-kun's miracle is back?

As for Zhao Gao, he has always waited respectfully.

When the First Emperor didn't want him to speak, he didn't speak and honestly became a tool man.

"Wait here, Gai Nie will go with me." The First Emperor made the final decision.

Fu Zikang left the respectful Zhao Gao, the annoyed Li Si, the stunned Meng Yi, and the frightened Wang Juan.

led the First Emperor and Gai Nie into a small treasury that only he could enter.

This small warehouse occupies a very small area, not as large as the office houses of the officials of the Zhisu Inner History Mansion, only ten square meters in size.

The door of the storeroom was not large, but there were seven large locks hanging from the small door, each with chains as thick as an arm, and the surface of the small door was covered with the chains.

"Can you save five years of military pay here?"

The First Emperor looked at the door of the treasury to know how big this treasury was, and was suspicious of authenticity.

Even if this treasury was full of gold, it would only be about 600,000 gold.

One gold is worth a thousand dollars, that is 600 million dollars.

The military salary for 10 years is about 12 billion yuan, and the military salary for five years is about 6 billion yuan.

Although 600 million yuan is also a huge number, compared with 6 billion yuan, it is ten times the difference, and it is still far away.

"Yes, yes."

Fu Zikang couldn't stop nodding, took out a large set of keys, and began to open the seven locks hanging on the door of the warehouse.

Seeing this, the First Emperor didn't say anything anymore, and quietly watched Fu Zikang open the door.

I secretly said in my heart: This shaft shouldn't be the glass that stuffed a warehouse for me, right? Even so, if you can come up with half the money to build the gallop, the shaft is a great achievement. In recent years, the glass on the market has not increased dramatically, so where did the vertical get so much money?

Click~

……

The sound of the collision between the seven big lock deadbolts and the lock body was crisp and pleasant, and Fu Zikang opened seven locks in a row.

"Your Majesty retreats a little."

"Withdraw some?"

"Yes, yes."

Is this for fear that the things in it will hurt me?

Is this storehouse a living thing?

What is a rare beast?

Xuanniao?

Dragon?

The First Emperor took two steps back in confusion.

"Your Majesty, please take five more steps."

“……”

The First Emperor had already aroused all his curiosity by Fu Zikang, and he retreated five more steps.

Fu Zikang nodded, and then opened the door of the warehouse.

When he pulled the door of the storeroom, he stood at the door, moving with the door.

In the eyes of the First Emperor full of anticipation.

What caught his eye was not glittering gold, nor colorful glassware, nor what he had just thought of.

Rather, a handful of ashes fluttering out.

The ash seemed to have been firmly blocked by the door in the storehouse, and now it had lost its door, and all of them rushed out at once, as if a hundred people in the house had thrown a ball of earth at the first emperor at the same time.

"Retreat!"

The First Emperor hadn't reacted yet.

Gai Nie gently pulled the First Emperor back with his left hand, and drew the sword at his waist with his right hand to stop in front of the First Emperor.

The white-clothed Sword Saint danced like a thousand swords swinging at the same time, and his posture was extremely gorgeous.

The sword qi that could not be seen or touched showed its shape in these dusts, making all the flying dust fall like hitting an invisible wall.

After five breaths, all the dust that flew in had been knocked off by Gainie.

Cha~

The white-clothed sword saint returned to the sword into the sheath, and his clothes were still snow-white, and there were no stains on the dust.

The First Emperor squinted his eyes, stepped on the dust on the ground and walked to Fu Zikang, who was still standing at the door, and said unusually calmly: "You said that it is these soils that can be worth five years of military salary."

Fu Zikang nodded, shook his head again, and the ash on his crown couldn't help but slide down.

Although he had been hiding at the door just now, after all, he was not protected by a sword saint, and some ash still fell on his body, and the whole person looked gray.

"It's not soil, it's cement."

The First Emperor didn't lose his temper, even though it seemed so funny, he didn't look angry.

"Cement? This is the first time I've heard it. ”

The First Emperor looked at the cement piled up to the top in the warehouse, took two quick steps, and reached out to grab it.

"Your Majesty, slow down."

Fu Zikang hurriedly stopped.

"Huh?"

The First Emperor glanced back at Fu Zikang, and was so frightened that Fu Zikang immediately retracted his hand.

"This thing burns your hands, and Your Majesty should not touch it directly."

"Burn your hands? How can this thing burn hands if it is not a flame? ”

The First Emperor heard more and more strange things today, and his tone became calmer and calmer.

If Zhao Gao was here, he would definitely know that the First Emperor was already angry at this moment, but he just couldn't bear it.

"The minister didn't know, it was Chang'anjun who said it, and the minister saw Chang'anjun put a small pig into the lime. A day later, the piglet's skin was red and swollen, with burn marks, and cracked when exposed to water. ”

“…… You said it was sent by the shaft? He said this, what's it called? ”

"Cement."

"He said that this cement can cover five years of military salary?! That's how the shaft fooled me? ”

When Ying Zheng heard that it was sent by Ying Cheng, the calm color was gone, and he was angry and furious.

The First Emperor stomped his feet in anger, dust rose everywhere, and the Xuanniao on the crown he was wearing was like a cloud.

Gai Nie looked at the cement-stained crown clothes stained with many Ying Zheng's bodies, and his face was expressionless.

Waste my sword.

"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, Rong Chen is covering up this thing for Your Majesty." Fu Zikang saw that the first emperor was angry, and he was busy.

The First Emperor looked at it coldly.

"I'm not mistaken, you were recommended by the erection?"

"Yes, the king of Chang'an treats his ministers like a mountain. When the minister was about to starve to death, it was Chang'an Jun who took in the minister. The surname is Fu, and the name is Kang. ”

When it comes to Ying Cheng, Fu Zikang is still a little timid.

But the tone was obviously much firmer, and the eyes were full of reverence.

During the Qin Dynasty, many people did not have surnames, and surnames were only available to distinguished people.

The No. 6 wooden slip and the No. 11 wooden slip of Qin Jian in the sleeping tiger land are shocked, and the two Heifu brothers wrote a letter to their brother from the bottom of their hearts, and the three of them are brothers.

Even the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty did not have surnames, from which it can be seen that those with surnames in the Qin Dynasty at least had a certain status.

Ying Cheng Cheng did not pay Zikang to give the surname to take the name, which was an extremely glorious thing in the Qin Dynasty.

"Then why don't you speak for Cheng Cheng in the court."

"Chang'anjun doesn't need words from his ministers."

The First Emperor narrowed his eyes, and said in a somewhat dangerous voice: "Then if Cheng Cheng wants you to speak."

Then the minister spoke.

Ying Zheng looked at this important minister who frankly admitted, lived in the temple, and was one of the nine kings, and said coldly: "You eat Zhenlu, you are loyal to Cheng, and you are not loyal."

"Zikang is indeed disloyal to Your Majesty. Zikang did the internal history of Su Zhi, just like managing the accounts in the Chang'an Junfu. Chang'anjun recommended Zikang to do the internal history of Zhisu, and for Zikang, he worked for Chang'anjun. If Your Majesty thinks that Zikang can't, Zikang will resign and go back to be the bookkeeper of Chang'an Junfu. ”

Fu Zikang didn't even call him a minister, which shows that he really has the intention to resign.

"My Jiuqing, isn't as good as a bookkeeper in the Zhuzi Mansion?"

"The history of governing Su is two thousand stones a year, and Yulu is still more ...... from His Majesty."

Ying Zheng looked at Fu Zikang and cowered, but with a determined look in his eyes, it was difficult to understand why Fu Zikang was obviously afraid of him, but he dared to talk to him like this.

"The rule of Great Qin Jiuqing is loyal to Cheng Neishi, not to me. You know that this is the only one that I can kill you! ”

Fu Zikang showed a look of fear in his eyes, but he said: "Chang'anjun said that as long as you tell the truth to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not kill me." As long as I take care of the accounts, no matter what I think in my heart, Your Majesty will not bother to care about me. ”

"Humph!"

The First Emperor snorted coldly, but the murderous aura just now dissipated cleanly with this cold snort.

"That shaft has been stubborn all these years, and he prefers to look at people's hearts, and he actually used this trick on me, which is really presumptuous! Fu Zikang, now is the time for you to atone for your allegiance to the Lord. ”

"If you can prove that the ashes you call cement can be worth five years' military salary, I will not blame you and Ying Chengcheng today. If you can't, you two have committed the crime of deceiving the king, so go to the execution ground. ”

Fu Zikang was still scared, and after listening to the first emperor's words, he breathed a long sigh of relief and replied easily: "Only."

When the First Emperor saw Fu Zikang's confident appearance, he knew that there must be something strange about this cement.

couldn't help but take advantage of Fu Zikang's busy time to squat down and take a closer look at the cement.

But when the First Emperor looked at it, he didn't see anything famous, and felt that this was gray soil.

He wanted to grab it with his hand, and then thought of the burning hand that Fu Zikang had just said......

"Gaine."

"The minister is here."

"You grab some cement and see what's so weird."

“……”

Gai Nie's face was expressionless, looking at the First Emperor with the kind of eyes that you and I are stupid.

"If this is Zhao Gao, he will arrest him, and you will not be as loyal to me as Zhao Gao."

Gagnie was silent.

"What did Your Majesty want me to do?"

"Grab some cement and see what's so weird."

Gai Nie was silent again.

"What did Your Majesty want me to do?"

"Grab some...... Gagnie, you are getting bolder and bolder now, you dare to tease me! ”

"It's Your Majesty's decree that the minister's memory will deteriorate, and he can't remember all the words he has read, and the minister doesn't dare to disobey."

"I speak words, words can be remembered!"

Gai Nie was silent again: "What did Your Majesty just say?" ”

“…… It's nothing. ”

"Yui."

I didn't even give an order, you are a fart!

The First Emperor felt that Zhao Gao was still suitable for the seal talisman order.

It is very important to approve the music slowly and not tightly, and not to be angry.

The two of them talked.

Fu Zikang has prepared all the things.

There was half a basin of clear water, a shovel, half a basin of stones, and half a basin of yellow sand on the ground.

In front of the First Emperor, Fu Zikang first shoveled the cement and put a half-shovel on the ground, then shoveled a half-shovel and piled the yellow sand on the cement, and then shoveled a half-shovel of stones and piled it on the yellow sand.

Then Fu Zikang picked up the scoop and poured water on the cement, yellow sand, and gravel mixture, while using a shovel to make it back and forth.

But Fu Zikang probably hasn't done similar work, making yellow sand, cement, and stones scattered everywhere.

The First Emperor looked at it for a moment, frowned, and saw that Fu Zikang wanted to mix the three.

So he snatched the shovel from Fu Zikang's hand and started it himself.

Fu Zikang exclaimed: "How can Your Majesty do this job!"

The First Emperor said impatiently: "If you do well, should I do it?"

The First Emperor gathered the three together and stirred them back and forth, and he was better than Fu Zikang.

Stirring and stirring, the First Emperor felt that there was no stickiness, so he didn't look up and said, "Do you still need to add water?"

"Oh? Oh! Yes, yes, yes! Add water, add water! ”

Fu Zikang looked a little sluggish, and was woken up by the first emperor's words, hurriedly scooped water with a scoop, and slowly poured it.

While pouring it, Fu Zikang wanted to speak and stopped.

"If you want to ask, just ask, the courage to say that you are not loyal to me is gone?"

Fu Zikang said cautiously: "Your Majesty has long known about cement? Ever and this thing? ”

The First Emperor still didn't look up, and continued to turn the mixture of cement, yellow sand, and stones, and said naturally: "No, but this is no different from mud." When I was young, I lived in Zhao with my mother, and the house was always destroyed by the Zhao people. I always have to fill it with mud, and if I don't fill it, I will freeze with my mother. ”

"Haha, thanks to my and mud skills, those Zhao dogs can be repaired no matter how they dismantle me, and I and my mother have been frozen and woken up twice. I don't dare to say that I am the first in the world, but with mud, no one in this world can be stronger than me. ”

Fu Zikang listened to the first emperor's triumphant words, and unconsciously, he was a little stunned.

His eyes were a little misty, he never thought that he would be the first emperor and the lord of the world.

The proudest thing is not to govern the country, but to ...... mud

"Daze again? Add water! ”

The First Emperor found that it was no longer sticky after a while, and when he looked up, he found that Fu Zikang had deserted again, and said impatiently.

"Who in the world has not been frozen, what can you cry about? Don't think that if you cry, you won't be punished, if this cement can't cover five years' military salary, you will still be killed. ”

Fu Zikang shed tears while pouring water.

His tears mixed with clear water flowed down the shovel wielded by the First Emperor into a mixture of cement, stones, and yellow sand.

This loyal Great Qin Zhisu Neishi said in a whimpering voice: "I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"

“…… That's good, the road is hopeful, the country is forever, and there will be no one in the world who is frozen. ”
