Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 216 The Minister participated in the impeachment of the Prime Minister Qin Mo, whose name is the commercial firm, openly gathered outside the school to gamble!

At this time, the envoys of various countries have also figured out the correct usage of the binoculars, and they all looked around in amazement.

"It's really a treasure. I wonder if I can ask for some to bring back to the country?"

"The importance of these artifacts is probably comparable to that of thunderbolts. Don't be wishful thinking."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhateds~!"

"My general Weiman has also advanced in riding archery, and all five shots hit the bull's-eye..."

……

The envoys of various countries have binoculars in their hands, of course they are looking for their own warriors to participate in various competitions, so every time they see their own warriors advance, they can't help but praise and applaud.

Even if they were so excited, the Hu merchants who were on the sidelines were naturally even more excited. Whenever they saw a Xiyi warrior advance, it didn't matter if they were warriors from their own mission or not, they immediately applauded in unison.

It is undeniable that professional aristocratic warriors, or professional warriors raised by nobles, do have an advantage in terms of personal bravery.

Therefore, many of the Daqin disciples who competed with warriors from various countries were brushed off by them.

Only some very talented Daqin children, or like the warriors of other countries, are also the children of military meritorious ministers who have cultivated their courage since childhood, can they compete with them without losing the wind, and the competition is very impressive.

And the knockout system made the competition even more intense!
When the warriors of various countries eliminated the children of Daqin and promoted them, the Hu merchants who watched the ceremony cheered, and the envoys also clapped their hands happily.

On the contrary, when the children of Daqin eliminated the warriors from various countries and promoted them to the next level, the people of Daqin who watched the ceremony also cheered enthusiastically.

Some people even got big drums from nowhere, and the pounding sound brought the rhythm, leading the old and young men who had received basic military training, shouting chant to cheer for the participating Daqin children, and the momentum was extremely huge!

With such a strong and intense competitive atmosphere, it is almost as good as fighting with real swords and guns.

For a while the east wind overwhelms the west wind.

For a while the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

Cheers and cheers came and went, making people excited!

This scene inevitably affected Ying Zheng, and he couldn't help frowning every time he saw the Daqin disciples being eliminated.

Especially the envoys from various countries, seeing more and more warriors from various countries being promoted, they forgot the etiquette when they were excited, they clapped their hands and applauded, and the expression of "little man's success" was undoubtedly revealed.

This made Ying Zheng frown even more, and finally put down the binoculars, and said to Qin Mo in a low voice: "Is there any way, Ai Qing, to defeat all these barbarians?"

Qin Mo nodded, and said sympathetically, "Your Majesty, it's meaningless to fail all over the place, how about stealing a lot of money?"

Yingzheng Danfeng's eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation: "Good~!"

Fusu, Lao Wang Wan, Meng Tian, ​​Li Si, Feng Quji and others nearby couldn't help twitching crazily when they heard their muttering.

Didn't it mean to have a pattern of mind?
Is this also called a mind pattern?
It's simply a double-standard dog who can't see others' better lives!

Regardless of the strange eyes of the people around him, Qin Mo whispered to Ying Zheng, and then quietly got off the stage and left.

The attention of the envoys from all countries was on the field, and no one cared about Qin Mo's departure. Even if they noticed, they only thought that he was going to arrange the finals later.

After all, Qin Mo is the commander in chief of today's military parade!

……

On the super campus, various competitions are held in full swing.

The Hu merchants who were on the sidelines, in order to cheer for their warriors, had already gathered together at this time, imitating the people of Daqin, and roaring in unison.

But their numbers are ultimately at an absolute disadvantage. Even if they yell blood from their throats, their cheering voices cannot compare with the mighty Qin people.

Therefore, I am somewhat resentful, sighing secretly that there is no home court advantage!
"Should you place a bet? Do you want to place a bet... My Qin's firm opened the market, and bet on how many of the Xiyi warriors who have advanced will be rewarded by His Majesty the First Emperor... One hundred gold is a bet, and one bet pays three. , place a bet?"

The young Qin people in green clothes and hats, waving gambling tickets with red seals in their hands, walked through the crowd of Hu merchants to sell them.

The Hu merchants were surprised, and they didn't care about shouting, cheering up their warriors, and one after another... stay away from him.

Yes, stay away from him!

Qin law prohibits gathering crowds to gamble, and it’s okay to play behind closed doors at home. If such a big gambling gathering is caught by a nearby patrolman, it will be tattooed on the face, paraded in the street to show the public, and then punished. The fate of hard labor.

The Hu merchants came to Daqin to make money, and they were cautious on weekdays, for fear of causing disaster.

Such things that are clearly prohibited by the Qin law are even less dared to do!

However, the reason why a gambler is a gambler is that he can't control his stuff...

There was a gambler Hu merchant who heard that it was the opening of Qin's business, so he couldn't help being moved, and asked the young man waving his gambling ticket: "Your family's Qin's business is under the name of the Prime Minister of Great Qin and the King of Hexi. Qin's firm?"

The little young man straightened his chest, turned his nostrils to the sky and said proudly: "Exactly, the reputation of my Qin's firm, can you still not believe it?"

"You can place your bet with confidence, you will be able to cash out if you win, and you will never be short of money!"

Hu Shang looked around, and said like a thief: "Qin's business gathers together to gamble, isn't it afraid of your censor, and what kind of Jinyiwei, to impeach the first emperor?"

Hearing the words, the young man was even more proud, and said disdainfully: "Yushi Jinyiwei is an idiot, my Qin's firm and His Majesty's Shaofu are in partnership to do business together, and the money earned is shared equally with the royal treasury... Wait Do you know why?"

The gambling Hu merchants were stunned, and even the other Hu merchants who didn't want to cause trouble were also stunned.

Of course they understand the truth.

Because many of them are themselves serving the princes and nobles.

Those who do not understand such simple principles cannot become great merchants.

Moreover, if this bet wins, it is winning money from the Prime Minister of Great Qin, and winning money from the First Emperor of Great Qin.

When I return to China in the future, I can brag with those princes and nobles for a lifetime!

"I bet ten..."

"Three of the bets, five bets will be rewarded by His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin..."

"There are three more bets, seven bets will get rewards..."

"There are four bets left, no one will be rewarded..."

The gambler Hu Shang was the first to open his mouth. After making a bet with a lot of gamblers, he suddenly slapped his head and said angrily: "I don't have a lot of money with me. If you don't, wait a minute and I'll go back to the city." Pick?"

The young man waved his hand, and said proudly: "You don't have to, you are all wealthy merchants, and my Qin's firm is not afraid of you waiting for your debts, just mortgage the customs clearance documents to me first."

"Send the gambling money to Qin's Bank in Xishi before tomorrow, and you can exchange it for customs clearance documents!"

The gambler Hu Shang nodded, but this is a good way to save trouble.

However, he looked the young man up and down a few times, but then asked suspiciously: "Are you really an associate of Qin's Commercial Firm?"

The young man seemed to have expected him to ask this question a long time ago, and immediately raised his hand and pointed out the crowd: "Do you know who that person is?"

The Hu merchants looked at his fingers, and the doubts in their hearts disappeared immediately.

They all know the person that the younger generation refers to, and it is Yingbu, one of the principals of Qin's business firm.

A leading figure in the business world of Daqin who has presided over two auctions!
Seeing the Hu merchants looking at him, Ying Bu took out a stack of betting tickets that were the same as those in the hands of the younger generation, and shook them in his hands, indicating that there was nothing wrong, and that it was indeed the opening of Qin's firm!
Without hesitation, the betting merchant took out a cowhide pocket from his bosom, handed it to the young man and said, "This is the customs clearance document for my caravan, first I will give you a mortgage, and then I will bet ten bets as I said just now. "

The young man didn't talk nonsense, he opened the cowhide pocket, took out the customs clearance documents inside, and checked it carefully.

Then he smiled happily, put away the customs clearance documents, took out two tickets from the gambling tickets with red seals, clipped the carbon paper, and wrote down the number of bets and the details of the bets with the pencil he carried with him.

Then, he handed one of the tickets to the good gambler and said: "This is a gambling ticket, it cannot be damaged or graffiti, otherwise it will not be honored."

"If there is a bet, it will also be cashed in the Qin's Bank in Xishi, no one will deceive you!"

Someone took the lead, and the Hu merchants around them didn't hesitate, they rushed forward clamoring, scrambling to place bets.

"I bet five times, and the five bets will be rewarded by His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin..."

"I bet ten bets, two bets will get rewards for three people, two bets will get four people..."

"I also bet ten bets, all ten bets..."

……

Maybe the Hu merchants are really rich and not afraid of wasting money, or maybe they really want to take real money from Ying Zheng and Qin Mo through alternative methods such as gambling, and then win face for their family and country.

Of course, it is also possible that this kind of advance consumption without showing real money is probably the best way to give people a fluke mentality, so that people can spend money without feeling distressed, just like almost everyone in later generations carries money on their backs... …

All in all, when the Hu merchants bet, they were all generous, ranging from three to five bets, and as many as ten or so bets, making the young man grin his teeth with joy.

One bet is one hundred taels of gold!

However, just as the Hu merchants who were willing to place bets completed their bets one after another, the hesitant Hu merchants were still hesitating whether to participate.

The patrolmen who maintained order discovered the bustle here, or abnormality.

"What a lunatic who doesn't fear the law, dares to gamble~!"

The head of the patrol station approached, and after seeing the situation clearly, he immediately shouted loudly, and then waved his hand to greet his subordinates: "Take them all, and don't let any one go..."

The patrolmen rushed out like wolves and tigers, and rushed towards the young man and the Hu merchants surrounding him.

This time, the Hu merchants were stunned, and they froze where they were, not daring to escape.

After all, the customs clearance document is still on the young man, as long as the patrolman catches the young man, the other participants will check it out!

When the Hu merchants were in a daze, they all turned their eyes to the young man with doubts on their faces.

Didn't it mean that the first emperor of Qin and the prime minister of Qin were behind him?
How dare the little patrolman dare to make trouble?
"Don't do it, don't do it..."

The young man didn't run away either, he just said anxiously to the oncoming patrol: "My boss is Qin's business... My boss is Qin's business, gentlemen, please be accommodating~!"

slam-la-

The patrols turned a deaf ear to him, and shook their chains to trap him and the surrounding Hu merchants, and then turned to the head of the village to wait for his punishment.

The patrol chief looked at the young man, frowned and asked, "Your employer is Qin's business?"

"Exactly."

"Exactly!"

The young man nodded hastily, and at the same time, another voice sounded behind the head of the village at the same time.

The head of the village looked back and saw that it was Yingbu, so he couldn't help being stunned.

The watchman is in charge of things on the street, relying on his broad vision, so he knows Yingbu and knows that he is one of the principals of Qin's firm, so he said: "The young children gather to gamble, but brother Yingbu instruct?"

Yingbu didn't shy away from it, he bowed his hands and said, "That's right, please be accommodating, brother..."

"Lock it together, take it to the internal history for disposal!"

The head of the village didn't wait for him to finish speaking, but waved his hand again with a cold face, calling for his subordinates to lock Yingbu also.

Then, without any explanation, he led the way, walked through the gate and entered the Daxiaochang.

The patrolmen under his command escorted Yingbu and the young man, as well as a group of unlucky Hu merchants, and followed them step by step.

The remaining Hu merchants looked at their backs and couldn't help but look at each other.

Hu Shang, who was hesitating just now and hadn't participated in the betting, was secretly rejoicing in his heart at this time.

However, those who have already made a bet and mortgaged the customs clearance documents are crying without tears. Looking back and checking carefully, none of them can escape...

……

Under the general's stage, there was a report from the imperial guard, saying that a patrol general asked to see Shi Teng in Guanzhong.

Nei Shiten thought that something serious had happened, so he hurriedly left the table to bid farewell to Ying Zheng, and stepped down from the general platform in a hurry.

Seeing that Nei Shiten came out of the alert range of the guards, the head of the patrol immediately leaned forward and whispered.

Nei Shiten was annoyed at first, then suddenly nodded with a strange expression, and finally returned to his annoyed expression, looked coldly at those Hu merchants, then at Yingbo and the young man, and said: "Humph, how dare you be so bold? If you dare to openly gather to gamble, it will ruin my customs in Guanzhong."

As he spoke, he said to the guards behind him, "Take them and follow me to meet His Majesty."

"Here."

The imperial guards bowed their hands and took over the job of patrolling. They searched the gamblers first, and then escorted them into the security area with Nei Shiten.

A group of Hu merchants saw Nei Shiteng's posture, intending to hand them over to Emperor Qin Shi Huang himself, and all of them were so frightened that their calves twisted.

Even, he was so frightened that he shit and peed.

Isn't it gathering crowds to gamble?

As for alarming the Great Qin Shihuang?

In case the First Emperor gets angry and imposes an extrajudicial punishment on all of them to death, who can they justify?

Tilting slightly, the imperial guards forced a group of Hu merchants who were full of ugly appearances to the point and took them off the stage.

Yingbo and the young man were also pushed and shoved, and came to the audience.

Nei Shi Teng was furious, and boarded the Dianjiangtai again, bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, I have participated in the impeachment of the Prime Minister Qin Mo, whose name belongs to a commercial firm, and openly gathered outside the school grounds to gamble... There are so many merchants... There are participants, betting on how many warriors from the Western countries can get a good ranking!"

When he said the last sentence, he looked coldly at the envoys from the Western countries who were on the side of the group of officials.

The envoys from the western countries blinked in bewilderment, and turned to look at the frightened and paralyzed Hu merchants in the audience.

But when the Hu merchants found out that their envoys were also behind them, they immediately shouted in their native language as if they had seen their own envoys: "The general save me... the elders save me... and please ask the governor to intercede for us..."

The envoys of the western countries all grinned secretly when they heard the chaotic calls for help.

This is really, people sit on the stage, please come to heaven.

Still the same sentence, Hu merchants who can come to Daqin to run merchants are all famous and wealthy merchants in their own country, and they are inextricably linked with princes and nobles.

Now that these Hu merchants are in trouble, it's fine if the envoys of various countries don't know about it, but they are all there.

Is it to help?

Or help?
Or help?

How majestic the Great Qin Shihuang is, he is not an easy-going monarch at first glance... How easy is it to want to help!

"Your Majesty, how to deal with the gamblers like you, please make your Majesty's decision?"

Nesten spoke again, and as soon as he spoke, he urged Ying Zheng to convict the gamblers.

Yingzheng was not urged by Nei Shiteng, he glanced at the bitter-faced envoys from the Western countries, and said to Nei Shiten indifferently: "Is what you said true?"

Nei Shiteng raised his hands again and bowed: "The scouts took all the stolen goods together, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

Ying Zheng nodded lightly, looked at Ying Bo, the young man who was in the audience, and the ugly Hu merchants, and said with a malicious voice: "Can you plead guilty?"

The Hu merchants were so frightened that they wailed and dumped the pot to Yingbo and the young offspring, saying, "Your Majesty the First Emperor, they lured us... yes, yes, they lured us to place bets... they said Qin The firm is the property of the Prime Minister of Qin Dynasty, and he also said that His Majesty the First Emperor...cough, that's why we dared to place a bet..."

After all, the Hu merchants still retained a sliver of reason. Although they were eager to blame Qin's firm, they didn't dare to involve Ying Zhengpan in it, and only confessed to Qin Mo.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, then turned to Zhao Gao and said, "Go and call Qin Qing here!"

"Here."

Zhao Gao didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly took orders and left.

The princes and princesses and the civil and military officials secretly exchanged glances, all of them were awe-inspiring.

Especially Yu Ji and Lu Zhi's complexion has changed.

Everyone knew that Qin Mo wouldn't get involved in these crap things, but it was related to Qin's business firm, and the accusation of laxity would definitely not be able to get rid of it!

Only Fu Su, Lao Wang Wan, Meng Tian, ​​Li Si, Feng Quji and others looked neither happy nor sad, as if it was none of my business.

The majestic emperor and prime minister of the Great Qin Empire teamed up to play immortals and jumping pits... It's really a bit embarrassing!
……

Later, Qin Mo came back with Zhao Gao, and at the end of the stage, he kicked Ying Bu first, and cursed, "Who gave you the guts to openly gamble?!"

Yingbu pretended to be kicked to the ground, and didn't make any excuses, just lay down on the ground and confessed his mistake shamefully: "I want to make money for the business, but I forgot the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, and I have caused the lord to this point, I really deserve to die..."

Qin Mo kicked him again bitterly, and asked, "Can the people of Daqin participate?"

Following the slight force on his feet, Ying Bu rolled a few times, looking as if he was about to be kicked into the air, and wailed: "Without the participation of the people of Daqin...the humble would never dare to lure the people of Daqin to gamble, Lord, forgive me..."

The corner of Qin Mo's mouth twitched slightly, his acting skills were a bit exaggerated and needed to be improved.

While the envoys of the western countries listened to the conversation between the two of them, they couldn't help being speechless for a while.

Well, if you don't find the people of Daqin, you are going to cheat businessmen from the western countries!
Is it easy for them to travel thousands of miles to Daqin to do business?

To be tricked by you Qin people!
"Hmph, you still know something..."

Qin Mo put down a resentful sentence, bypassed Ying Bu who was overacting, and then walked up to the general's platform quickly, and simply pleaded guilty to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I am not strict with you, and I am willing to be punished."

Ying Zheng smiled at this time, waved his hands and said: "Without the participation of our Daqin people, it's nothing. Aiqing doesn't have to be like this."

These words made the envoys of the Western countries secretly depressed.

However, Yingzheng's ignorance gave them an opportunity, so the envoy of the Great Xia Kingdom was the first to jump out and said, "Your Majesty the First Emperor, this martial arts contest is meant to be enjoyed by the people, and it's a game of betting against each other." A lottery, harmless."

When he opened his mouth, the envoys of the Western countries also hurriedly agreed: "Speaking of which, I also want to place a bet and cheer for my warriors... If His Majesty the First Emperor gave me extra law, let us also participate How about betting... yes, I'll wait for the bet to win money, so I can reward my winning warrior..."

These guys were also delusional, and besides justifying their own merchants, they also showed their willingness to bet.

They have confidence in their samurai, and if the samurai get a good ranking, they will win a lot of money.

That is definitely a win for both face and face, it can be called fame and fortune!
However, this was in the hands of Ying Zheng and Qin Mo.

When the missions from Western countries came to Daqin to pay homage, in addition to bringing gifts to Yingzheng, more of them were goods for sale.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that each of them is ostentatiously rich!
Qin Mo and Ying Zheng set up a situation to make money from them.

Now they jumped into the pit by themselves, which saved the monarch and his ministers from continuing to play tricks.

So, after the envoys from the western countries had finished speaking, Ying Zheng frowned and pretended to ponder for a moment, then said hesitantly, "It's all right."

"In addition, I will not hide the truth from your envoys, this Qin's commercial firm actually has [-]% of my shares."

"Today I will sit back at the manor, and all the envoys can bet on their own warriors, one bet for every thousand gold, and whoever wins the bet can get a good ranking in the final, I will give three times the reward~!"

This is just fueling the fire.

When the envoys of the western countries heard that they could make money from Yingzheng, they were like those Hu merchants before, with fire in their eyes, and they were all eager to try.

As long as he can win, he will really have a lot of face in his heart, and he can boast for eight lifetimes when he returns home!

"Untie them."

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Bu and others who were in the audience, and waved.

The imperial guards bowed their hands to take orders, and quickly unchained Yingbu, the young man, and a group of Hu merchants whose souls had returned.

Ying Zheng waved to Ying Bu and said, "Come and collect notes for the envoys."

"Here."

Yingbu took the order excitedly, took the "stolen goods" gambling tickets from the guards, and boarded the general platform to accept the bets from the envoys of various countries.

The young man and a group of Hu merchants were sent out of the security range of the platform by the imperial guards, and returned to the patrols who were still waiting for a reply.

But the patrol chief knew that the matter was done when he saw that there were no chains on the people.

At the moment, he didn't say much, just sent the young man and the Hu merchants out of the big school together with the patrols, and ignored it.

"Let me just say, Qin's firm is backed by His Majesty the First Emperor, so it can't be wrong."

After the little queen gave birth to Daxiaochang, she suddenly became airy again, with her nostrils upturned, and said to the frightened Hu businessmen.

"Don't brag..."

"I was scared to pee just now..."

"It's okay to be scared to pee, my crotch is full of shit now..."

The Hu merchants grimaced and complained about him angrily.

The young man was not surprised either, and returned to the gathering place of the Hu merchants with them, smiling.

When other Hu merchants saw that they had come back in full length, they immediately crowded around and asked questions.

After learning that it was the first emperor's extrajudicial favor and that there was a new way to play, he was immediately elated.

The Hu merchants who had placed bets before, and the Hu merchants who hesitated to participate in the bet, all surrounded the young man and placed heavy bets on the warrior they were optimistic about.

……

When the envoys of the various countries placed their bets, the knockout round was coming to an end, and the number of warriors from various countries who had advanced was not too small.

And next, there will be the finals with representatives from the Lieutenant Army!

The finals are no longer held at the same time, but one event after another to compete for the champion, the results of the participants, and at any time, several sergeants with loud voices will sing to the common people outside the school.

In this way, the competitive atmosphere is more enthusiastic.

The people of Daqin who watched the ceremony slammed the war drums loudly, and gathered their energy to cheer for the representatives of the imperial guards and the promoted Daqin children.

And the Hu merchants who watched the ceremony, shouting to cheer for the mighty Daqin people, followed the game of ruining their fortunes and raised money for the Western warriors.

The envoys of the various countries on the general stage also frequently raised their own samurai, as if they could cheer for their own samurai.

However, none of the Daqin disciples who made it to the finals were mediocre, and it was impossible for the warriors from various countries to kill the Quartet as in the previous knockout rounds.

In particular, the representatives selected from the 10,000+ lieutenant army are the best of the best.

These representatives of the lieutenant army had been instructed by Qin Mo that if the Daqin disciples had outstanding achievements, they might as well be humble and let the Daqin disciples receive the reward from the first emperor.

There will be another reward in the army when you turn back!
But if the achievements of the warriors from various countries are outstanding and overwhelm the achievements of the children of Daqin, the representative of the lieutenant army should not hold back, and show their real skills to compare with them.

If you win, you will not only be able to receive the reward from the first emperor, but you will also be able to lead the reward from the army!

As for losing... the loss counts, just accept it calmly.

After all, one should not underestimate the heroes of the world. It is normal for a few warriors to emerge from a population of tens of millions!

Of course, that being said, the representative of the Lieutenant Army, under Qin Mo's instruction, naturally arrested warriors from various countries to suppress them.

As a result, after each event was compared, there were only a handful of warriors from various countries who could come out on top, but there were only two or three cats and dogs.

The envoys of various countries and the Hu merchants were so sad that they wanted to cry but had no tears.

The representatives of the Lieutenant Army are simply too crazy. They originally thought that they, like the children of Daqin, were half-fifth or half-dozen in strength.

But who would have thought that they were so abnormal, so powerful, and their level was far higher than that of the children of Daqin.

If I had known this before, no one would bet too heavily on their own warriors, it would be too late to regret!
Of course, when the envoys and Hu merchants of most of the countries were mourning, the envoys and Hu merchants who had bet heavily on the two or three winners were ecstatic.

For example, Ji Zhun, he bet heavily on Wei Man, Wei Man, who was born in Yandi, also won the first place in riding and archery, so it's not too much money!
