Chapter 153 Liu Ji: I am willing to be rich and noble with my brothers
This grandson, who has a lot of whimsical ideas, dares to say that, nine times out of ten, there is really any way!
He knew that this stinky boy and his eighteenth uncle had built a very large-scale charcoal field in Hedong County, and the coal business was booming, and he was making money every day.
However, he has no intention of stealing money from his son and grandson.
On the contrary, I am happy to see it, and even a little relieved.
Then, the two of them saw Zhao Yingle walking to the side of the case, grabbed the brush, and slowly wrote a few powerful characters:
Salt production method.
Shi Lu subconsciously glanced at the First Emperor, and his tone was a little uncertain.
"Salt Method?"
Zhao Yingle said hehehe.
"The salt-making method, which I have occasionally discovered, can turn the coarse, even poisonous, table salt into the finest refined salt through simple processing—probably better than the finest refined salt now, which looks as fine as powder, crystal clear as snow, and tastes better......"
Shi Lu: !!!!!
First Emperor: ......
Shi Lu only felt that his throat was a little dry.
"Your Highness - this is true......"
"Stinky boy, do you really have a way?"
The First Emperor was a little uneasy.
If it is really as Zhao Ying said, it can turn the most crude and even inedible poisonous salt into better salt than the best refined salt today......
That's a lot of value!
What about millions?
A hundred million is not worth it!
"Naturally, it's not that difficult......"
Zhao Ying nodded hehehe.
The purification of coarse salt is not a complicated problem, but only crushing, screening, filtration, and evaporation.
In this era, although there are no dryers and no centrifugal pumps, there are outrageously cheap coals and outrageously cheap labor.
In this day and age, the profits are so high that even the blackest capitalists tremble.
Shi Lu: ......
Seeing that the clouds were light and the wind was light, Zhao Ying, who followed the mouth to talk about a trivial matter, Shi Lu suddenly wanted to jump up and kick him.
It's not that hard......
Listen, does this person speak?
Tens of millions of dollars, is it appropriate for your old man to talk about it like drinking saliva?
At this time, the First Emperor was not excited.
The emperor's eldest grandson has a clever salt-making method, what a normal thing.
Papermaking, printing, water-powered spinning wheels, water-powered stone mills, curved plows, greenhouses......
Now, isn't it normal to have multiple salt production methods?
"Your Highness......"
Shi Lu rubbed his hands a little excitedly and looked at Zhao Ying.
Salt Making!
With this, what are you worried about in the future when you are a young man?
Seeing Shi Lutang's young mansion, he was so anxious that he was about to wag his tail, and Zhao Ying didn't continue to tease him, so he immediately pulled out a piece of paper, wrote and painted, and roughly introduced the process of refining coarse salt.
Only mention the process, not the principle.
Ask is.,It's okay to find out when you're playing by yourself.。
After getting the salt making method provided by Zhao Ying, Shi Lu didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour, picked up the drawings, and wanted to go back to find someone to try it immediately, and the first emperor was also very curious.
I saw that it was still early, and I was not in the mood to deal with it.
"Let's go, let's go over and see if there's anything wrong, you might as well command it on the spot......"
The First Emperor immediately proposed.
Shi Lu also nodded again and again.
Zhao Ying glanced at the notes on a few cases, and about a third of them had been dealt with, even if they were all left to the First Emperor, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, and he didn't bother anymore, and got up immediately.
"Then go see ......"
In Shaofu, there are craftsmen with the most complete categories and the best skills in Daqin to create a little ordinary distillation and filter dish, which is simply handy, and after a while, the tools that Zhao Ying needs are created.
After the tools were built here, there were also people driving the carriage and bringing the coarse salt that the First Emperor needed.
Crushing, sifting, dissolving, stirring, filtering, evaporating......
Half an hour later.
Looking at the fine salt in front of you, which is as fine as powder and as white as snow.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Hearing and seeing the real thing are two completely different experiences.
The First Emperor couldn't help but take a deep breath, walked over himself, stretched out his fingers, dipped a little bit of freshly purified refined salt, and put it in his mouth......
After a little taste, my eyes can't help but light up.
"Good salt!"
Over there, Shi Lu couldn't wait to taste it.
Compared with the finest refined salt, which is usually consumed, it is more delicate and less bitter.
"Good salt, good salt......"
Shi Lu trembled with excitement.
"It's better than the finest refined salt - His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, it's really a god, it's a god!"
Looking at the excited appearance of the First Emperor and Shi Lu, Zhao Ying couldn't help but joke with a smile.
"It's good if it can be used - otherwise, my father favors me so much, I'm afraid that it will affect the dispatch of money and grain in the imperial court, and Shi Shaofu and the big guy will have a ...... opinion."
Shi Lu: ......
Waved his hand a little awkwardly.
"How can it be, how can it be, there is nothing to do, what does His Highness need on his side, just command, our Shaofu side, we must fully cooperate and reorganize the armament, that is a serious matter......"
Zhao Ying: ......
I can't imagine that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, will also stare and talk nonsense!
The salt-making method provided by Zhao Ying is indeed like a relief in the snow for the increasingly financially strained Shaofu. Shi Lu waited for this method, and immediately launched large-scale production.
Coarse salt, which can be found everywhere in Guanzhong.
A lot of cliff salt, the purity is not enough, are inedible, or although it can be barely eaten, but bitter and astringent, the taste is extremely poor, Zhao Ying provided the salt making method, which is equivalent to turning waste into treasure and picking up money on the ground.
Great Qin learned from Qi and implemented a strict monopoly system of salt and iron, which vested the production and sales rights of salt and iron in the state, and imposed a high tax on salt and iron.
Therefore, this technology is equivalent to directly giving the Great Qin Imperial Court a golden finger.
With this, Zhao Ying can be regarded as letting go of a matter.
Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiongju.
The First Emperor poured out his heart and lungs for himself, and took care of himself without reservation, and he naturally couldn't let the First Emperor do things for himself. He can naturally take advantage of the favor of the first emperor and the identity of the emperor's grandson to make a fortune through the technology of salt purification.
But, it is not necessary.
He is the eldest grandson of the First Emperor of Great Qin, and if he wants to live, or even live better, he must first make Great Qin better, instead of making money for himself.
The news that the emperor's eldest grandson was about to go to the Xiongnu was finally officially confirmed by the imperial court.
The recruit battalion has also entered the final stage of preparation.
Everyone was in the spirit of twelve points, and even the Mo apprentices, who had always been low-key, began to have a serious atmosphere, and everyone put on the equipment equipped by the imperial court and began to follow the recruits for more rigorous assault training and cooperation exercises.
And Wang Nan, who originally planned to stay at his mother's house for a few more days, also rushed back from his mother's house that day after hearing the news. Although he didn't say much, he was obviously sticky to Zhao Ying.
And Zhao Ying also took time out of his way to accompany his newly married wife.
Li Shu, who has always looked cold, has begun to wear a full set of armor in the past few days, and from time to time she is dangling under Zhao Ying's nose. Sometimes, he would run around with a cold face and follow Zhao Ying hard, as if he had just returned to the days when he had just served as Zhao Ying's guard.
This blunt and obvious move made Zhao Ying cry and laugh.
But where did Zhao Ying dare to promise her?
This is not an ordinary guard, this is Li Xin's baby girl, whether to take her or not, this depends on Li Xin's meaning, if it is according to Zhao Ying's thoughts, it will definitely not be able to be brought.
If something really happens, it's hard to explain it to Li Xin.
Zhao Qi, who has always been a little afraid of Zhao Ying, has been leaning forward from time to time in the past few days, and when he eats, he talks a lot more than before. And it can be seen that a lot of homework has been done, and the topics related to the Huns are discussed.
Only Zhao Gao couldn't wait to shrink himself up and completely disappear from under Zhao Ying's nose.
When I met Hu Hai that day, the original plan was to let Hu Hai create an opportunity for him to meet His Majesty, but now it seems that there is no need, as long as the emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Ying goes out, he will be equivalent to a tiger entering the mountains and a dragon entering the sea.
As long as the eighteenth prince cooperates a little, he will be sure to return to the side of the first emperor.
Although it is not yet the day of the final expedition, the entire Changgongzi's Mansion already has a bit of an atmosphere of imminent parting. Even the goddess Xu Cheng has unexpectedly settled down a lot in the past few days.
Living in a simple house, hiding in his own small courtyard, even his face is rarely exposed.
……
At this time, Cao Shen, who took the initiative to invite Ying and went to Pei County, finally returned to Pei County and met his two old friends as he wished.
"So, did you recommend me to Your Highness?"
Xiao He's face was as usual, and he got up and filled Cao Shen with a cup of tea.
"Exactly, His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, benevolent and loving, thirsty for talent, specially sent me back, please Brother Xiao out of the mountain - now, the Emperor Eldest Sun is about to go to the Huns, it is a great opportunity for my generation to make contributions, with the talent of Brother Xiao, this will definitely be like Kunpeng spreading its wings, swaying thousands of miles, why be trapped here, depressed and unwilling......"
Speaking of this, his eyes looked at Xiao He fieryly.
"Brother Xiao, the opportunity is rare, please make a decision quickly......"
Quietly glancing at Gai Nie and Chen Sheng and the others, who were silent like guards behind Cao Shen, Xiao He secretly sighed in his heart and said with a wry smile.
"Thanks to the wrong love, dare to disobey your fate-"
When Cao Shen heard this, he was overjoyed.
immediately united with Xiao He and hurried to Liu Ji's residence.
Now, married to the daughter of Duke Lu, Liu Ji, under the control of his daughter-in-law, has also purchased his own property in Pei County, and he no longer has to live in Widow Cao's house as in the past.
However, he didn't dare to bring Widow Cao home for the time being.
"What, you said that His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun wants to take us to fight the Huns - Cao Shen, you dog, dare to pit your old ......"
When Liu Ji heard this, he was immediately furious, and almost smashed the teacup in his hand on Cao Shen's head.
Isn't this letting Lao Tzu go to death!
However, before he finished scolding, he saw that the guard behind Cao Shen had already touched the hilt of the sword on his waist, and suddenly the words changed, and he laughed and stepped forward to hug Cao Shen's arm.
"You dog, you dare to trick your brother and me—why are you calling me now! Thinking of me Liu Ji, I have long admired His Royal Highness the eldest grandson in my heart, thinking day and night, I want to lead a horse for His Royal Highness and follow the work of dogs and horses, as a result, you are a dog, and you only call me now, wouldn't it make me one step behind Brother Xiao, and let His Highness underestimate me......"
After saying that, there was another burst of laughter.
"However, fortunately, you still have some conscience, and you still remember you and my brother, this favor, brother, I have written it down!"
After speaking, he turned his head and shouted at Lu Pheasant on the side.
"Don't hurry up and prepare wine and food, today, I want to have a good drink with Brother Cao Shen - Lao Tzu has a chance, and he is about to soar, so you will obediently wait at home, and when Lao Tzu has made great contributions with His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson, he will send someone back to pick you up and go to Xianyang to enjoy happiness......"
As he spoke, he thought to himself.
Fortunately, Lao Tzu had the foresight to leave a seed in Widow Cao, and had his own son, where he died on the battlefield, he would not cut off the incense, even if the new daughter-in-law ran away with someone, it didn't matter much.
Seeing Liu Ji's promise.
Gai Nie and Chen Sheng couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, when they came, they had already received the advice of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, if Liu Ji and the others excused themselves, they would be hacked to death immediately.
Both of them have official bodies, and within the system, it is easier to deal with them.
At noon that day, under Liu Ji's enthusiastic retention, a group of people stayed at Liu's house to eat and drink, and Liu Ji even invited several friends, including Lu Xuan, as well as the dog Tu Fan, who had some contacts on weekdays, to accompany him.
The wine was half-drunk.
Liu Dating, with three points of wine, blushed, took Cao Shen's hand.
"Brother Cao, now that you and I have entered the eyes of His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, we are about to make contributions and have a great future, but it's a pity that these good brothers can't accompany them together and enjoy wealth and prosperity together, thinking of this, I feel really guilty and uneasy——"
Speaking of this, Chief Liu Dating patted his chest quite arrogantly.
"The so-called, Gou Fugui, don't forget, I, Liu Ji, am the most righteous, don't I care about my brothers-you see, this time, can we bring these good brothers, and it can be regarded as seeking a future for these brothers......"
As soon as Liu Ji talked about this, everyone, including Fan Xu, couldn't help but stop the movements in their hands and looked at Cao Shen eagerly.
This is going to Xianyang to seek refuge with His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson!
How much of a future does that have to be?
Unexpectedly, Liu Ji could still think about his people at this time!
What a good brother who talks about righteousness!
Feeling everyone's fiery eyes, Cao Shen groaned slightly and nodded immediately.
"Yes! The brothers are quite brave, and they should take care of each other when they go—rest assured, I will explain this matter to Your Highness, and Your Highness is eager to ask for talent, and I will not refuse——"
When Liu Ji heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, laughed and patted Cao Shen's shoulder.
"Good brother! When so—"
With Cao Shen's promise, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became more enthusiastic.
However, for the first time, he did not get drunk.
Including Fan Hao and Lu Xuan, Liu Bang's fox friends heard that they also had a future, and immediately went home one by one to pack their luggage.
In this regard, Gai Nie and Chen Sheng did not say much.
With their eyes, it can naturally be seen that Liu Ji's fox friends are more or less skilled, especially the one named Fan Xu, who has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and Kong Wu is powerful, I'm afraid it's not simple.
