my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 154 Liu Ji: Willing to share wealth with brothers
This grandson is full of whimsical ideas. Dare to say that, nine out of ten, there is really a way!
But he knew that this stinky boy and his eighteenth uncle had set up a large-scale coal field in Hedong County, and the coal business was booming, making money every day.

However, he did not intend to rob his son and grandson of money.

On the contrary, I am happy to see the results, and even a little relieved.

Then, the two of them saw Zhao Ying cheerfully walking to a few desks aside, grabbed a brush, and slowly wrote down a few bold and powerful characters:
Salt method.

Shi Lu subconsciously exchanged glances with Shi Huangdi, his tone somewhat uncertain.

"Salt method?"

Zhao Ying said cheerfully.

"Salt making method, I discovered by chance, through simple processing, can turn those poor or even poisonous table salt into the best refined salt—maybe even better than the current best refined salt, which looks as fine as The powder is as crystal clear as snow, and the taste is better..."

Shilu:! ! ! ! ! !

First Emperor:……

Shi Lu only felt that his throat was a little dry.

"Your Highness—this statement is really true..."

"Stinky boy, do you really have a way?"

The First Emperor was a little restless.

If, as Zhao Ying said, it is possible to turn the most inferior, even inedible poisonous salt into table salt that is better than the best refined salt today...

There is so much value in that!

More than a million?

One hundred million is not worth it!

"Of course, it's not that difficult..."

Zhao Ying nodded his head hehehe.

The purification of crude salt is not a complicated problem, it is nothing more than crushing, screening, filtering, and evaporation.

In this era, although there are no dryers or centrifugal pumps, there is outrageously cheap coal and outrageously cheap labor.

In this day and age, doing this is so profitable that even the most black-hearted capitalists tremble.

Shi Lu: ...

Seeing Zhao Ying, who was calm and calm, followed by talking about a trivial matter, Shi Lu suddenly wanted to jump up and kick him.

It's not that difficult...

Listen, does this person speak?
The big deal of tens of millions of dollars, is it appropriate for your old man to say it like drinking saliva?

At this time, Emperor Shi Huang was not excited.

The emperor's eldest grandson has a clever salt-making method, what a normal thing.

Papermaking, printing, hydraulic spinning wheel, hydraulic stone mill, curved plow, greenhouse...

Now, isn't it normal to have multiple salt-making methods?
"Your Highness..."

Shi Lu rubbed his hands excitedly, and looked at Zhao Ying anxiously.

Salt method!

With this, why do I have no money to worry about as a young man in the future?
Seeing Shi Lu's majestic young man, he was so anxious that he almost wagged his tail. Zhao Ying didn't continue to tease him, but immediately took out a piece of paper, wrote and drew, and roughly introduced the process of purifying coarse salt.

Only the process is mentioned, not the principle.

The question is, I discovered it when I was playing around.

After getting the salt-making method provided by Zhao Ying, Shi Lu didn't want to be unable to stay for a quarter of an hour. He picked up the blueprint and wanted to go back immediately to find someone to try. Emperor Shi Huang was also very curious.

I looked at the sky and it was still early, and I was not in the mood to deal with the memorial.

"Come on, let's go over and have a look together—if there's anything wrong, you might as well direct it on the spot..."

The first emperor immediately proposed.

Shi Lu also nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Ying glanced at the memorials on several cases, he had already dealt with about one-third of them, even if they were all left to Emperor Shihuang, it shouldn't be a big problem, and he didn't get entangled anymore, and got up immediately.

"Then go and see..."

In the Shaofu, there are craftsmen with the most complete categories and the best skills in Daqin. It is easy to create some ordinary distillation and filter vessels. In a short while, they made the tools Zhao Ying needed.

After the tools were made here, there were also people driving a carriage to deliver the coarse salt that Emperor Shi Huang needed.

Crush, sieve, dissolve, stir, filter, evaporate...

After half an hour.

Looking at the refined salt that is as fine as powder and as white as snow in front of you.

Everyone was stunned.

Hearing and seeing something in person are two completely different experiences.

Emperor Shihuang couldn't help but took a deep breath, walked over in person, stretched out his finger, dipped a little of the refined salt that had just been purified, and put it in his mouth...

After a little taste, the eyes can't help but shine.

"Good salt!"

Over there, Shi Lu couldn't wait to take a sip.

Compared with the best refined salt that is usually eaten, it is more delicate and less bitter.

"Good salt, good salt..."

Shilu trembled with excitement.

"It's better than the best refined salt—His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor, it's amazing, amazing!"

Seeing the excitement of Shi Huangdi and Shi Lu, Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing and joked.

"It's good if you can use it—otherwise, Elder Father loves me so much, I'm afraid that it will affect the imperial court's money and grain allocation, and Shi Shaofu will argue with you..."

Shi Lu: ...

He waved his hands awkwardly.

"How could it be, how could it be, it's nothing, what His Highness needs, just order, our young manor's side, we must fully cooperate and rectify the military equipment, that is a serious matter..."

Zhao Ying: ...

Unexpectedly, you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also stare and talk nonsense!

The salt-making method provided by Zhao Ying is indeed like a timely help to Shaofu, whose finances are increasingly tight.After Shi Lu waited for this method, he immediately launched large-scale production in a hurry.

Coarse salt can be found everywhere in Guanzhong.

A lot of cliff salt is not pure enough to be eaten, or although it can be barely eaten, it is bitter and astringent, and the taste is extremely bad. The salt making method provided by Zhao Ying is equivalent to turning waste into treasure and picking up money on the ground.

Daqin learned from Qi State and implemented a strict salt and iron monopoly system. The production and sales rights of salt and iron were all owned by the state, and high salt and iron taxes were levied.

Therefore, this technology is equivalent to directly giving the Daqin court a golden finger.

With this, Zhao Ying can be regarded as letting go of a worry.

Throw me a peach and return it with Qiongju.

Emperor Shihuang devoted his heart and soul to himself and cared for himself unreservedly, so he naturally couldn't let Emperor Shihuang do things for him.Naturally, he can take advantage of the favor of the first emperor and his status as the emperor's grandson to make a fortune through the technology of salt purification.

But, it is not necessary.

I am the eldest grandson of the first emperor of Qin, if I want to live, or even live better, I have to let Da Qin get better first, instead of earning money for myself.

The news that the eldest grandson of the emperor was about to go to the Xiongnu was finally officially confirmed by the court.

The recruit camp has also entered the final stage of preparation.

Everyone cheered up, and even the Mohist apprentices, who had always been low-key, began to have a serious atmosphere. Everyone put on the equipment equipped by the court and began to conduct more rigorous assault training and cooperation with the recruits. exercise.

Wang Nan, who originally planned to stay at her natal home for a few more days, rushed back from her natal home that day after hearing the news.Although he didn't say much, he was obviously attached to Zhao Ying.

And Zhao Ying also spared as much time as possible to accompany this newly married wife.

Li Shu, who always looked icy, started to wear a full set of armor these days, swaying under Zhao Ying's eyes from time to time.Sometimes, with a cold face, he followed Zhao Ying everywhere, as if he had returned to the days when he was Zhao Ying's guard.

This blunt and obvious move made Zhao Ying dumbfounded.

But how dare Zhao Ying agree to her?
This is not an ordinary guard, this is Li Xin's precious daughter, whether to take her or not depends on Li Xin's intentions, if it is according to Zhao Ying's mind, then it is definitely not allowed to take her.

If something happened, it would be difficult to explain to Li Xin.

Zhao Qi, who was always a little afraid of Zhao Ying, has been coming closer to him from time to time these few days. When eating, he talks a lot more than before.And it can be seen that he has done a lot of homework and talked about topics related to the Huns.

Only Zhao Gao wanted to shrink himself up and disappear completely 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 it is unnecessary. As long as the emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Ying goes out to fight, he will be like a tiger entering a deep mountain and a dragon entering the sea.

As long as the Eighteenth Prince cooperates a little, he will be sure to return to the First Emperor's side.

Although it is not yet the final day of the expedition, the entire Changgongzi Mansion already has an atmosphere of parting.Even the goddess stick Xu Negative has surprisingly settled down a lot in the past few days.

She lived in seclusion, hiding in her own small yard, and rarely even showed her face.

……

At this time, Cao Shen, who took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Peixian County, finally returned to Peixian County, and met his two old friends as he wished.

"So, you recommended me to His Highness?"

Xiao He looked normal, got up and poured Cao Shen a cup of tea.

"Exactly, His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor, who is benevolent and loving, and thirsty for talents, specially sent me back to invite brother Xiao to come out of the mountain-now, the eldest grandson of the emperor is about to go to the Xiongnu, which is a great opportunity for us to make contributions. With the talent of brother Xiao , this way, it is sure to spread its wings like a Kunpeng, soaring for thousands of miles, why bother to be trapped here, depressed and unsuccessful..."

Having said that, he looked at Xiao He with fiery eyes.

"Brother Xiao, this opportunity is rare, please make a quick decision..."

Calmly glanced at Gai Nie and Chen Sheng 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 not follow orders—"

Cao Shen was overjoyed when he heard this.

Immediately joined forces with Xiao He and hurried to Liu Ji's residence.

Now, after marrying Lu Gong's daughter, Liu Ji has also purchased his own property in Pei County under the control of his wife, so he no longer has to live in the widow Cao's house as in the past.

However, he did not dare to take Widow Cao home for the time being.

"What, you said His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, wants to take us to fight the Huns——Cao Shen, you bastard, dare to trick you..."

When Liu Ji heard this, he was furious immediately, and almost smashed the teacup in his hand on Cao Shen's forehead.

Isn't this asking Lao Tzu to die!
However, before he could finish cursing, he saw the Nianian guard behind Cao Shen touching the handle of his sword at his waist, and suddenly changed the subject, laughing and hugging Cao Shen's arm.

"You bastard, how dare you cheat on me, brother—why did you call me now! I think of me, Liu Ji, who has long admired His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, and thought about it day and night. , Doing the same work as a dog, but in the end, you bastard, calling me only now, wouldn't it make me a step behind brother Xiao, and let His Highness underestimate me for no reason..."

After finishing speaking, there was another burst of laughter.

"However, it's a good thing that you still have some conscience, and you still remember you and my brother. I will remember this favor, brother!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and shouted orders to Lu Zhi who was beside him.

"Hurry up and prepare the food and drink. Today, I want to have a good drink with Brother Cao Shen——I have a chance, and I will soon make a fortune. You just wait at home obediently. When I make great contributions with His Highness the Emperor's Eldest Sun, then Send someone back to pick you up and go to Xianyang to enjoy the blessing..."

While speaking, he thought in his heart.

Fortunately, Lao Tzu had the foresight to leave a seed with Widow Cao. With his own son, even if he died on the battlefield, he would not lose his incense.

I was happy to see Liu Ji agree.

Gai Nie and Chen Sheng couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief. When they came, they had already been ordered by His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson. If Liu Ji and others tried to evade with an excuse, they would be hacked to death immediately.

Both of them have official status, and within the system, it is a bit easier to deal with.

At noon that day, under Liu Ji's enthusiastic persuasion, a group of people stayed at Liu's house for a drink, and Liu Ji even invited several friends including Lu Wan, as well as the dog Tu Fankui who had some contacts on weekdays. to accompany.

The wine was half drunk.

Chief Liu Dating, blushing due to his drunkenness, held Cao Can's hand.

"Brother Cao, now that you and I have entered the eyes of His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, we are about to make great achievements and have a bright future. It's a pity that these good brothers can't accompany us and enjoy the wealth and honor together. Thinking of this, I feel really guilty and uneasy—— "

Speaking of this, Chief Liu Dating patted his chest quite proudly.

"The so-called, Gou Fugui, don't forget each other. I Liu Ji is the most loyal, and I don't care about my brothers-you see, this time, whether we can bring these good brothers with us, it can be regarded as seeking a favor for these brothers." future……"

As soon as Liu Ji mentioned this, everyone including Fan Kui couldn't help but stop what they were doing and looked at Cao Shen eagerly.

This is going to Xianyang to seek refuge with His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson!
How promising is that?

Unexpectedly, Liu Ji could still think about people like himself at this time!
What a loyal brother!

Sensing everyone's fiery eyes, Cao Shen pondered for a moment, then nodded immediately.

"Yes! These brothers are quite brave, so we can take care of each other when we go - don't worry, I will explain this matter to His Highness. His Highness is eager to seek talents, and he will not refuse in the future -"

When Liu Ji heard this, he was overjoyed, laughed and patted Cao Shen on the 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 was not drunk.

Including Fan Kuai and Lu Wan, Liu Bang's cronies, hearing that they had a bright future, went home excitedly one by one to pack their luggage.

Regarding this, Gai Nie and Chen Sheng did not say much.

From their eyes, it can be seen that Liu Ji's cronies and friends are more or less skilled, especially the one named Fan Kui, who has a hulking back and a strong waist, which may be a bit difficult.
