"However, whether you can get the approval of the Prime Minister's Mansion or not, the Hu family's question is the key!" Yingcheng saw the point of breaking the subtle knowledge.

When he first received Hu Xiu's self-recommendation letter, he was still very surprised.

This is a wise and daring woman!

Hu Xiu actually recommended himself to be an official in the court, and his eyes were viciously aimed at the position of Director Zuo of the Department of Commerce.

Director Zuo is in charge of business etiquette and has jurisdiction over the Commercial Standards Department.

It's a clear water yamen.

For many people, it is not worth it, but for Hu Xiu, it is very suitable to change from the identity of a businessman to the identity of an official.

The three top wealthy merchants of Great Qin are the deformed products of Qin's commercial development.

It is also the first emperor's bold attempt to a business model after the businessman Lü Buwei abandoned business and entered politics.

It's a long story.

Lü Buwei's rise is full of legends, and his impact on the first emperor is very great, which can be regarded as both advantages and disadvantages.

Lü Buwei took advantage of the prime minister's cheapness to make the Lü family a veritable number one wealthy merchant in the world, and in the process of navigating the former Six Kingdoms, he was also accustomed to commercial warfare.

Lü Buwei was the only one in the entire Great Qin who opposed the First Emperor's military conquest of the Six Kingdoms, and he wanted to collapse with an economic path.

Lü Buwei was greedy for power and died, but under Lü Buwei's governance, the Qin State had plenty of warehouses and countless swords, weapons and armor.

So.

Since the death of Lü Buwei, the Lü family, known as the world's first wealthy businessman, has declined.

However, Lü Buwei used commercial warfare to defeat people without spending a single soldier, and the collapse of a country's economy was vividly remembered by the First Emperor.

】

Thereupon.

There is the rise of the three top wealthy businessmen.

Hu is one of them.

However, in view of Lü Buwei's greedy behavior.

Naturally, it was divided into three, with the Hu clan controlling the handicraft industry, the Wu clan controlling animal husbandry, and the Zhuo clan controlling smelting and mining.

Moreover, these three parties do not have any official status, and are directly under the jurisdiction of the National Treasury Office, which is under the control of the Changfu government.

Sounds complicated.

In fact, it is the commercial extension of the court system, which is not in the official system but is closely related to the official system, so that the family can sit big and easy to manage.

Therefore, Hu Xiu's status is actually a little worse than the position of Jiuqing like Nei Shi Teng, and it is almost the same as Ba Chen's Sizheng.

People recommended themselves for the post of director of the Department of Commerce, and replaced Hu Xiu with a man, although there was obstruction, but with Lu Buwei in politics, there was no problem in the system.

But when a woman becomes an important minister of the imperial court and a woman becomes a wealthy merchant, it has completely become two concepts.

This is tantamount to setting a precedent to explain the law and play a guiding role for future generations.

Presumably, if the two people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are entangled by Hu Xiu, they will also have a headache, and the contribution to the stability of Daqin is indelible, but whether this woman can be an official or not, if she is an official, whether it involves harem politics, and if it is more serious, it will be the struggle between male power and female power.

That's what those two old men should have a headache for.

Nature.

According to his personal thoughts, there is no problem for Hu Xiu to be an official and thousands of women to be officials.

The rebuttal is also a good rebuttal.

After King Huiwen, Empress Dowager Xuan was in charge of the government for decades, destroyed the Yiqu State, and pacified the great disaster in the western part of the Qin State, so that King Zhaoxiang became the hero.

Of course, people's rebuttals can also be refuted cleanly.

The harem interfered in politics and led to the fall of royal power, and the Qin people only knew the queen mother and the four nobles, but did not know the king of Qin.

He's already in trouble enough, and if he gets into this kind of trouble again, wouldn't it be to expose his scalp!

"The merchant girl understands!" Hu Xiu bowed deeply, and wanted to ask a few more strategies.

But when he saw Yingcheng and saw that the loading car was smoothly walking towards the Soohe Bridge and leaving, he could only sigh lightly.

Nesteng and Ba Chen on the side also kept silent, not even a word of comfort, Ba Chen diverted the topic and smiled: "Now that we can finally sell paper, we not only want to monopolize the sale of books in the world in one fell swoop, but also attract scholars from all over the world to come to Xianyang, this will be a battle for the world, and we must fight with twelve points of spirit." ”

"What Si Zheng said is that the Hu family must go all out!" Hu Xiu could only squeeze away a smile and reply.

Yingcheng naturally didn't care about this, and inspected the super workshop again.

The papermaking workshop has been built now, and the people in each workshop are also proficient in operation, and there is no major problem.

The paper workshop of Nuoda has already completed the output of 10 million pieces of wood a day, and it has long filled the three super warehouses.

After a little more stabilization, it's time to start researching and updating iterative paper and papermaking.

He is also looking forward to someone who can combine gears and teapots, and Daqin will initially step into the industrial age.

It's a task for others to go down in history!

Leaving the papermaking workshop, Yingcheng, who patrols daily, came to the printing workshop.

The printing workshop is a promenade operation, standing at a glance and you can't see the end.

Left and right are full of printing tables one after another.

These presses work in shifts around the clock.

None of them are idle.

Otherwise.

Birthday gifts for the First Emperor, books for the propaganda compound, where did they come from!

The bookbinding room and the printing room are two different places, and after the printing room has dried the ink, the paper is handed out and handed to the person on the other side to arrange and bind according to the page number.

Even if someone wanted to spread the printing press through books, it was a vast project.

End of printing workshop inspection.

Book warehouses, paper warehouses, printing plate warehouses, storage warehouses, etc., Yingcheng inspected them one by one, and then the inspection ended, and the sky gradually brightened.

After making sure that there was no problem with the delivery of the paper, he went to the propaganda compound.

……

However.

Even Yingcheng doesn't know.

Just when he was presiding over the election in the propaganda compound.

At the same time, many interesting things were happening in Xianyang City.

Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of Commerce.

Commercial office room!

Feng Hai angrily slapped the table at a clerk and said angrily: "Who is the business department, call it out to Lao Tzu, his damn dog is afraid to go to heaven, I really think that Lao Tzu came here to ask someone to do something." ”

"I've stamped the Commercial Office for Lao Tzu, hurry up, damn it!";

"Lao Tzu said, dock, dock, dock, what's wrong with your ears being plugged with dog hair, can't you listen to it, if you want this or that, Lao Tzu can come and do it himself, and give the commercial department enough face."

The official was also angry on his face, and even more angry in his heart, but he still suppressed his anger and replied: "The Commercial Department is the last seal, Feng Gongzi, you need to first stamp the seals of the Commercial Standards Department and the Commercial Tax Department, as well as the Mining Department and the Agriculture Department, and the Commercial Department can only seal after review." ”

Feng Hai scolded angrily: "Just stamp a seal, it's so troublesome, damn it, Lao Tzu doesn't cover it, and without the official seal, Lao Tzu still opens the dock." ”

As he spoke, Feng Hai angrily tore off a blank piece of paper, shook his head and left.

It's not that he doesn't know this order, but he thinks that he should first stamp the seal of the commercial office, and send someone to cover it casually.

Unexpectedly.

He was the grandson of the prime minister, but he was rejected.

However.

As soon as Feng Hai left, a head with a crown of hair quietly poked out of the back door, looking like he was in his early thirties, and asked in surprise: "Are you gone, are you gone?" ”

"Whew, I'm finally gone, I'm dripping, it's too terrifying to be this commercial office, this is the first one, I'm going to lift the roof, next, woo!"

"Okay, okay, don't think about it, you have to get used to it, get used to it if you are scolded a lot, remember it, if you are beaten, let you be beaten, don't beat back impulsively, run away in time, run out and shout the black guard."

The official nodded aggrievedly, his eyes showing a fierce light.

If it weren't for the agency's repeated emphasis, he would really want to slap the 25 fans on the ground and beg for mercy.

Call him Lao Tzu, when he killed the enemy, this grandson didn't know where he was.

However.

They didn't know that Feng Hai didn't actually leave, but ran to the Foreign Affairs Office of the Mining Department angrily, kicked the door open and didn't see anything, and shouted: "Who is in charge of stamping the wharf on the bank of the Weishui River in the Mining Division, get out of the wharf, fuck, Lao Tzu get the wharf, also, return, return ......"

"Grandfather!"

Feng Hai stared at the front dumbfounded, and his menacing appearance instantly wilted, a little unbelievable that this little mining division could actually see his grandfather.

"Take it out, it's in the courtyard, and the cane will be carried in with ten rods, and you will beat me hard." The old man sitting next to the official stared at Feng Hai indifferently.

"Grandfather, grandfather, I, you, I'm wrong grandfather, I'm wrong grandfather!" Feng Hai shouted angrily.

But the old man waved his hand unmoved.

Moment.

Several black-armored guards directly put Feng Hai out.

"Grandfather, I was wrong, ah, grandfather, grandfather, grandson really knows that I was wrong!"

In the courtyard, Feng Hai was pressed on a stool, his body was framed, and the two black-armored guards with sticks opened their bows left and right, and smashed them on the struggling buttocks.

Feng Hai's terrible screams reverberated in the compound of the Shaofu Foreign Office.

Even the Commercial Office of the Zhisu Inner History Office next door heard this scream.

"This is, Feng Haizhen was beaten, let's take a look at it, it's so fucking relieved." The clerk who had just been scolded couldn't help but want to go and see it, but he slapped the table and glared at him: "It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, right, people teach their own grandchildren, what kind of excitement do you run to make up, sit!" ”

"This is not a military camp, and sometimes you have to lose your head when you watch the excitement."

In the Mining Division, two black-armored guards walked in with a wooden plank carrying Feng Hai, who was already bleeding from the buttocks, and Feng Hai cried sadly: "Grandfather, I am your own grandson, how can you be ruthless." ”

But the old man indifferently asked the clerk: "What do you need to handle the wharf?" ”

The official hurriedly replied: "Back to the prime minister, you need a specific address, the vertical and horizontal diagram is detailed to the ruler, indicating the major types of uses such as the use of the wharf, the lease period and the construction period of the wharf, etc., if there is a fishery, you also need to go to the Fisheries Department of the Zhisu Neishi Office to stamp." ”

"Other things are easy to do, but this address and vertical and horizontal map need to be verified on the spot."

The old man was waiting for Feng Hai for a long time, and after listening to the official's explanation, he ignored Feng Hai and ordered: "The Mining Department will send officials to verify on the spot. ”

"Just carry him like this, leave from the main gate, and walk to the dock on the bank of the Weishui River, who dares to stop him, let him come to the old man!"

Feng Hai, who was lying on his stomach, was full of shock, and roared angrily: "Grandfather, don't, if this matter comes out, how can my grandson deal with himself in Xianyang, grandfather, spare my life, my grandson really knows that it is wrong, please, this is more uncomfortable than killing my grandson." ”

Feng Qu raised his hand with cold eyes, his heart was ruthless, and he slapped Feng Hai's face fiercely, and scolded angrily when his hand hurt: "What kind of place are you here, you can be presumptuous, this is the last time, next time you do it again, no one can save you." ”

As he spoke, Feng Qujian waved his hand.

Feng Hai was really blinded this time, and he couldn't say a word when he covered his face and was dumbfounded, and only stared at Feng Quji with a pair of watery eyes.

But it was obvious that Feng Quji was really serious this time, and he didn't feel distressed at all and let the two black-armored guards carry Feng Hai out of the Shaofu compound and walk on the broad street of the Foreign Officials Office, and there were not many people in the Foreign Officials Office at this time.

Under the official order, from the good people to the noble sons, they all lined up and waited for statistics.

The acquaintance stared at Feng Hai with a slight frown, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't this Feng Hai, the third son of the Feng family, what's wrong, isn't he doing the dock thing, why was he carried out like this." ”

"Grapevine, Feng Sangongzi was in the Foreign Officials' Office, but Feng Gong seemed to be waiting for Feng Sangongzi in the Mining Department, Feng Sangongzi kicked the door and hit a square, and was beaten by Feng Gongshi with ten rods, and his buttocks bloomed."

"As a result, Feng Gong didn't stop at all, and ordered the black armor guard to carry Feng Sangongzi to the dock, saying that he wanted to draw a vertical and horizontal map of the dock and verify it on the spot!"

Good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, Feng Hai hasn't even walked out of the street of the Foreign Officials Office, and the news has already spread out of the gate of the Foreign Officials Office.

When the civilians heard it, some applauded and some admired.

But when the news reached the ears of the noble sons, they couldn't help but shudder.

The eldest son of Qin Bohou's Mansion queued up for three days, and he happened to be still queuing, and there was a civilian in front of him who wanted to give up his position, so he immediately shook his head and said: "Your kindness is understood by my son, but don't hurt me, where is this beating Feng San, this live killer is an example of a monkey!" ”

"I'm afraid the days ahead will not be easy at all."

And on the street, hearing that his own affairs were being discussed one by one, and that pair of eyes looked at him, Feng Hai was so broken that he put his head on the wooden board, not daring to see anyone.

The majesty of his third son Feng has been mixed all his life is gone today!

……

However.

The beating of Feng Tao, the third son of the Feng family, was only an inconspicuous matter for Xianyang City at this time.

It is in a mansion in Xianyang City that can be entered and exited three times.

There was a group of young men dressed in luxurious satin costumes and jade belts around their waists, and one of them said aggrievedly: "We can't wait any longer, if we continue like this, the nobles of my six kingdoms will be arrested." ”

"The Qin State doesn't treat us as human beings at all, and if we do anything these days, we will be arrested."

"But look at the Qin State, what are you doing these days, every day you use that nonsense story to slander our king and smear the king, but it is his Qin State, and the wolf's ambition is actually said to be asking for the people's life."

"Whenever I hear someone cheering, my anger doesn't come anywhere."

"It's the opposite, it's the opposite, it's the Qin State that doesn't give us a way to live, the tyrannical Qin has no way, the world will cut it down, we should conform to the will of the people and overthrow the tyrannical rule of the tyrannical Qin."
