Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 206 This cup of poisonous milk, I did it
"Young master! Luckily, I did not disgrace my life!"

As soon as Chen Ping entered, he smiled and bowed to Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun also returned a salute with a smile, and praised: "Good performance, let's have a good meal later."

Chen Ping: "..."

Ying Zheng: "..."

Both of them were speechless, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

However, Zhao Kun quickly broke the embarrassment and introduced to Yingzheng: "Father, this is Xiao Chen."

""Father? "

"Xiao Chen?"

Chen Ping and Ying Zheng were taken aback at the same time.

What Ying Zheng thought was that the two boys were quite close, no wonder Zhao Kun entrusted Chen Ping with such an important task.

This Chen Ping...shouldn't have found himself, right?
What Chen Ping thought was, how could the son have a foster father?Does this person have any connection with the First Emperor?
But this person...why does he look familiar?

While the two were thinking wildly, Zhao Kun moved two stools and placed them next to Yingzheng's desk. While motioning for Chen Ping to sit down, he made tea for him.

Seeing this, Yingzheng frowned. It was the first time he was sitting on an equal footing with others. He was not used to it, but he couldn't help asking curiously: "The next plan you mentioned has something to do with Xiao Chen?"

Zhao Kun made a cup of tea and handed it to Ying Zheng, and another cup of tea to Chen Ping, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip, shaking his head and said: "My next plan is not related to Xiao Chen, but only He will do it."

"What does your master want me to accomplish?" Chen Ping tilted his head and asked curiously.

"Remember what I told you earlier?"

"Master, you mean the magistrate of Pinyang County?"

"Not bad!"

Zhao Kun nodded and said: "You have completed the task, and I will let you be the magistrate of Pinyang County. Now the plan is going smoothly, and there is only one last step left."

"last step?"

Ying Zheng frowned: "What do you mean by one step away?"

"Naturally, to meet the First Emperor!"

Ying Zheng: "..."

Chen Ping: "..."

The two looked at each other without speaking.

But Zhao Kun said again: "As long as you see the First Emperor, you're done."

As he spoke, he took out a bag from his waist and handed it to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping took the bag with a puzzled face, then opened it carefully, and suddenly found something as fine as white sand inside, he couldn't help being a little dazed.

Seeing that Chen Ping didn't make any further moves, Ying Zheng looked around curiously, and asked, "What is this?"

"Father will know if he tastes it."

Zhao Kun showed a smile on his face and raised his hand towards Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, thinking that no matter how bastard his son was, he would not be able to poison his father, so he reached out and squeezed a pinch into his mouth.

As soon as I entered the mouth, a salty taste rushed straight to the taste buds.

Ying Zheng was a little dazed, and after two or three seconds, he looked at Zhao Kun in disbelief: "This...is this salt?"

Salt?
When Chen Ping heard this, his eyes widened immediately, showing a surprised expression.

It never occurred to him that the snow-like grains of sand in the bag were actually salt!
how can that be?How could the salt be so white!
Before the Qin State unified the six countries, all the well salt was used, but the well salt was bitter and astringent, and most of it was poisonous.

So after the unification of the six countries, they began to rely on the sea to dry salt.

But neither well salt nor sea salt is as pure as this fine salt.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping followed Ying Zheng's example and put a pinch of salt into his mouth.

It's okay if you don't taste it, but you will be shocked if you taste it.

Such a delicious salt, I am afraid that even the refined salt eaten by the first emperor could not reach this purity.

Moreover, the refined salt is extracted from sea salt, and there is always a little fishy smell in it.

Therefore, after Ying Zheng tasted Zhao Kun's salt, he felt very obvious.

After calming down, Ying Zheng glanced at the fine salt in his bag, and stared straight at Zhao Kun: "Where did you get this salt?"

"Of course I practiced it!"

Zhao Kun said with a smile: "The salt outside the palace is astringent and unpalatable. I'm not used to it, so I made some myself."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng and Chen Ping were dumbfounded.

This guy actually knows how to make salt?This is too powerful!
Although they all admitted that Zhao Kun was very capable, they didn't expect him to be so capable.

After all, a person's energy is limited, how could he be able to do everything?
You know, in the Qin Dynasty, there was a special government government to study salt. Ordinary people, let alone making salt, had problems eating salt.

But even with special government research, it is still impossible to make delicious salt.

Therefore, no need for Ying Zheng and Chen Ping to think too much about Zhao Kun's ability to make salt alone.

Horror!
After hesitating for a moment, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Kun solemnly: "Kun'er, do you know what this means?"

"I know!"

Zhao Kun grinned, and said confidently: "It means that Xiao Chen can be appointed as the magistrate of Pinyang County."

boom--

Hearing this, Ying Zheng felt as if struck by lightning, his head buzzing.

How could this kid treat me like this!
He actually played a conspiracy with Lao Tzu?
puff--

Chen Ping took a sip of tea and sprayed it directly on Zhao Kun.

He also realized that this was a vicious conspiracy!
Because the method of making salt is so important to Daqin, as long as the method of making salt is thrown out, Daqin is bound to win.

In this way, the initiative is in your own hands.

"Fuck!"

Zhao Kun was sprayed with water by Chen Ping. He immediately stood up and complained to him, "Are you an elephant? Why do you spray water while drinking?"

"Excuse me son!"

As soon as Chen Ping squirted out the tea, he felt something was wrong. While standing up to wipe Zhao Kun, he explained: "The tea is a little hot, I couldn't help it..."

"Alright, alright!"

Seeing Chen Ping approaching in a hurry, Zhao Kun hurriedly avoided, then wiped his sleeves, and said, "I'm fine, you go and sit down!"

"I... this... that... I'm sorry, my lord!" Chen Ping replied hesitantly, and then looked at Ying Zheng.

But seeing Ying Zheng looking at Zhao Kun with a complicated face, he never thought that Zhao Kun's plan would be salt.

With this method of making salt, not to mention the mere county magistrate of Pinyang, it is even possible to become a marquis and a prime minister.

If potatoes and sweet potatoes are the future of Daqin, then salt is definitely the present of Daqin.

Although the government offices of the Qin Dynasty also mastered the method of making salt, the supply was still in short supply.

Most of the sea salt was supplied to the nobles, and a small part of the refined salt was supplied to the first emperor and members of the royal family.

The defective well salt was provided to the army.

As for ordinary people, they can't afford salt at all.

But it doesn't work if you don't eat salt, so ordinary people eat something called vinegar cloth.

Although vinegar cloth is not real salt, it is better than safety. In a real famine year, vinegar cloth is not eaten, only poisonous salt.

But if you eat too much poisonous salt, you will die.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng sighed secretly, and asked Zhao Kun, "Where did you learn the method of making salt?"

"I tested it myself."

Zhao Kun heard Ying Zheng's question, answered casually, and then sat back down again.

However, not long after he sat down, he moved away from Chen Ping.

Seeing this, Chen Ping lowered his head in embarrassment.

Ying Zheng didn't care about Chen Ping, and continued to ask: "Then can you change the poisonous salt into non-toxic salt?"

"Yes, I have!"

Zhao Kun rubbed his nose, raised his chin and said, "The salt you eat is purified from poisonous salt by me. It is safe and non-toxic, and has a delicate taste."

"This……"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Ping suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Zhao Kun and said, "Is this true?"

"It's not true, is it still fake?"

Zhao Kun rolled his eyes and said, "My method of making salt is to purify poisonous salt!"

"This……"

Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help calling out the country's sharp weapon.

Daqin consumes countless amounts of salt every year. If poisonous salt can be turned into edible salt, the benefits will be unimaginable.

Before he had time to think about it, Ying Zheng had already made up his mind to get the method of making salt.

However, in order to further confirm that Zhao Kun's method of making salt is effective, he still asked with a skeptical attitude.

"Is your method of making salt reliable?"

"It's unreliable, and I won't take it out!"

Zhao Kun glanced at Ying Zheng amusedly, and then said seriously: "Father, as far as our relationship is concerned, I don't need to lie to you, besides, the salt in the bag is the best proof."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng glanced at the bag subconsciously, then thought about it, and said, "Then how many people know your method of making salt?"

"For now, I'm the only one who will."

"This……"

Ying Zheng was at a loss for words.

He originally wanted to find another way to get the method of making salt, but now he knew that only Zhao Kun knew it, so he could only find a way on Zhao Kun.

However, it is really not reconciled to ask him to exchange a county!

After all, he is Zhao Kun's biological father, so it's a little strange that this biological father would exchange his son's things.

"No! Never change!"

"He can rebel for me, not to mention the method of making salt!"

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng came back to his senses, and looked at Zhao Kun with burning eyes: "Kun'er, foster father also wants to do some business recently..."

"no!"

Before Ying Zheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Kun waving his hand: "The method of making salt cannot be handed over to the foster father."

"Why is this?"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

Zhao Kun explained with a smile: "This method of making salt is the key to our pursuit of Pinyang, and there is no room for loss."

"But……"

"My son can't trust his adoptive father?"

"It's not that you can't trust the foster father, but that you can't trust the people around the foster father!"

Zhao Kun shook his head.

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean by that?"

"Father, have you forgotten? Old Li is not a good person!"

Zhao Kun glanced at Yingzheng, and said expressionlessly: "If the father-in-law got the method of making salt, he would definitely give it to someone he could trust to make salt, so Lao Li would naturally get involved in making salt. It will become my confidant!"

Ying Zheng: "..."

I rub!

Why is it Li Si again?

This kid has trouble with Li Si, right?

After hearing Zhao Kun's words, Ying Zheng felt his blood pressure rising, and even his eyes turned dark.

He never thought that the stumbling block that blocked him was actually the man who helped him unify the world.

Lis!

You really are my lifelong enemy!

For a moment, Ying Zheng really wanted to kill Li Si.

But rationality told him that he should bear it.

After a while, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Kun again: "Then how will my son present this method of making salt?"

"You don't need to ask me about this, you have to ask Xiao Chen."

"Ok?"

"I will give him the method of making salt. How to use it depends on his adaptability. After all, he is the one who met Emperor Shi Huang."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned, then looked at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping glanced at Zhao Kun, and his heart warmed. He liked the feeling of being trusted very much.

Whether it is the vision event or the current method of making salt, we can see Zhao Kun's trust in him.

A master who can trust himself is better than any high-ranking official.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Ping said in a low voice: "This method is a sharp weapon of the country, so naturally it cannot be offered at will, it should be offered by everyone!"

Contribute in public?

Ying Zheng's pupils shrank, and he immediately realized how terrifying the young man in front of him was.

If he said to make a contribution alone, Ying Zheng would have full confidence in hacking the method of making salt in his hands.

But making contributions in public, both the conspiracy and the conspiracy succeeded.

First of all, Chen Ping cracked the vision, won the hearts of the ministers, and had a high chance of being pushed into an official position.

Even if Ying Zheng wanted to kill him, it would be difficult.

Because Chen Ping cracked the vision, he not only won the hearts of the ministers, but also the hearts of the people. To kill him is to kill the meritorious ministers.

Therefore, as long as he goes to the palace to meet Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng can only reward him.

Secondly, the method of making salt is no small matter, and it has made great contributions to the country. If it is offered in public, it must be rewarded.

And it can't prevent Baiguan from pushing him to become an official.

In this way, it is a foregone conclusion for Chen Ping to become an official.

To be honest, if Ying Zheng didn't know the ins and outs, he would only reward Chen Ping more and reuse Chen Ping.

But knowing the reason of the matter, he was heartbroken.

Why did such a person fall into the hands of the rebels?It doesn't make sense!
Is my Great Qin really exhausted?

At this moment, Ying Zheng was a little tired, but he still pulled himself together and asked Chen Ping, "Since you want to meet Shi Huangdi, let me ask you, what do you think of Shi Huangdi?"

He really wanted to know how Chen Ping got together with "Rebel Kun".

Hearing this, Chen Ping frowned. He always felt that Zhao Kun's adoptive father was a little unusual, but he couldn't say why.

So he pondered for a moment, frowned and replied, "He is not a good person!"

"presumptuous!"

Ying Zheng stood up abruptly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Chen Ping was startled and stood up too.

"Ok?"

Zhao Kun was thinking about Chen Ping's words, and was taken aback by Ying Zheng's and Chen Ping's reactions, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"What did you mean just now?"

Ying Zheng ignored Zhao Kun, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked coldly.

Chen Ping calmed down and narrowed his eyes slightly: "For his own selfish desires, he disregarded the life and death of the people, and made great achievements, causing the remnants of the six kingdoms to commit chaos and cause the people to live in dire straits..."

"Is such a person considered a good person?"

"Humph!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, frowned and remained silent.

He heard too many words like this, not only what Chen Ping said, but also those Confucian scholars from the six countries, but he didn't care.

He is the first emperor, no one can care about it.

What's more, a mere untouchable, what qualifications do you have to evaluate the first emperor?

Just when Ying Zheng was about to order the killing, Chen Ping suddenly changed the subject and sighed leisurely: "Although he is not a good man, he is a good emperor."

"Ok?"

Ying Zheng froze for a moment, frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Chen Ping: "When the first emperor came to the throne, he knew people well and made good appointments. In just ten years, Qin State swept the six kingdoms and unified the world, accomplishing an unprecedented thing."

"Such a great talent is rare in ancient and modern times."

Ying Zheng: "..."

Zhao Kun: "..."

"Although he is very happy with his achievements, most of what he does is beneficial to the country and the people."

"Not to mention anything else, let's talk about the Great Wall. I don't know how many foreign barbarians have been resisted, and I don't know how many Chinese people have been saved."

"I once heard Lao Zhe, who was returning home, mention that the Xiongnu simply didn't regard us as human beings. They not only plundered our food, but also plundered our clansmen as livestock. If the First Emperor had not sent General Meng Tian to guard the Central Plains, I am afraid that the Central Plains would be devastated. "

"So, from this perspective, he is a good emperor."

Chen Ping's evaluation, from the analysis of later generations, is that the crime lies in the present, and the merit lies in the future.

Not only Ying Zheng was amazed that he could have such a vision, but even Zhao Kun also found it inconceivable.

After all, the ancients of this era had very limited thinking.Because of the lack of knowledge and the limited information that can be mastered, the vision is relatively narrow.

But Chen Ping's evaluation is refreshing.

At first, Ying Zheng only thought that Chen Ping was talented, but at this moment, Chen Ping in his eyes changed.

Zhao Kun once commented that he is an emperor through the ages, and now Chen Ping says he is a good emperor.

This made him feel instantly better.

Even the anger just now disappeared.

I even feel that, with such Chen Ping, it is okay to use it.At worst, instigate him in the future.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng chuckled, and then said to Chen Ping: "Your method of offering is good, so act according to it!"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Kun again: "The outcome of this bet has not yet been decided, so don't be too happy!"

"hey-hey."

Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled: "Father, don't worry, I will win this round!"

"You stinky boy!"

Ying Zheng pointed at Zhao Kun with a smile, then suddenly remembered something, raised his eyebrows and said, "It is said that Emperor Shi Huang left at the end of February, do you want to go with him?"

"Where's the foster father?"

"I'm on the Black Ice Terrace, so of course I'm going!"

Hearing this answer, Zhao Kun also expected it. After all, the Black Ice Terrace was the guard of the First Emperor. Wherever the First Emperor was, the Black Ice Terrace would naturally be with him.

However, he knew that Emperor Shihuang's trip would lead to a dead end.

Zhao Kun still has to make further plans.

So he pondered for a moment, then he said to Ying Zheng, "I have to think about it again!"

"Okay! You have thought it through, and tell me as soon as possible!"

Ying Zheng said something casually, and walked out.

It is impossible for him to leave Zhao Kun alone outside, no matter whether Zhao Kun thinks it through or not, he will take Zhao Kun away.

After all, to him, Zhao Kun is a troublemaker.

A troublemaker must be firmly in his own hands.

It seemed that Ying Zheng was used to leaving as soon as he said it, and Zhao Kun didn't make much effort to keep him, but just sent him to the door.

However, just as Zhao Kun watched Ying Zheng's carriage go away, Wang Li's carriage rushed over.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a full order!
