"..."

The people at the table stared at each other, staring at each other silently.

I don't know how long it took before Zhao Tuo cleared his throat and asked tentatively, "Not at all?"

"Not at all."

"..."

Another moment of silence.

In the end, Zhao Tuo wiped his face helplessly.

Think about it.

Originally, because of various projects and the military expenditure of nearly one million troops, the national treasury was always empty.

In addition to the recent famine, another hundred thousand stone grains were taken out.

And the various expenses of the DPRK and China are miscellaneous.

After such a toss, it is strange that there is money in the treasury.

"Okay, okay." Zhao Tuo rubbed his brows and said, "It will end early tomorrow, and I will come out of the palace with me."

out of the palace?

Ying Zheng and the others looked puzzled.

But in the end there was no question.

...

Early the next morning, just after the early morning, Zhao Tuo put on a black brocade robe with a high crown and tied his hair, and went straight to the gate of Xianyang Palace alone.

At the door, Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, and Wang Ben also waited here early.

Obviously preparing to go with Zhao Tuo.

As for Feng Quji... He has too many things to deal with in a hurry, and he is powerless.

"Everyone is ready, let's go?"

"Here!"

"drive!"

Five people and five horses galloped, and they left the Xianyang Palace and came to the city.

In order to keep a low profile, Zhao Tuo did not choose how much higher the battle, but looked at the familiar appearance of Ying Zheng and the three.

Obviously, during Ying Zheng's reign, he also did this kind of plainclothes travel.

"Millet millet, one hundred dollars and one stone!"

"The best venison is still fresh, come and see."

"Any pears? Just picked."

"A piece of sackcloth for ten dollars, ten dollars a piece!"

...

The main street was full of people.

Although there are not many styles of goods in general, it is very lively compared to other counties.

The four followed Zhao Tuo on horseback and walked aimlessly.

After a while, Wang Ben was the first to lose his temper.

"Your Majesty, what are we doing here?"

"What? Of course, to make money." Zhao Tuo said with a natural look.

make money?

Everyone couldn't help looking at each other.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Could it be that Tuo'er worked in business before returning to the palace? He also made a lot of money and put it outside the palace?"

Zhao Tuo shook his head again and again.

"That's not true. Today's situation in Daqin is not easy to start from scratch. It would be stupid to waste time on making money."

"Besides, isn't it fragrant to take the ready-made one directly?"

"Off the shelf?"

"Well." Zhao Tuo nodded and immediately asked, "Father, everyone, who do you think is the richest in Daqin today?"

Ying Zheng replied without thinking: "If you want to say that this is the richest, it is natural to count Mrs. Qing."

"Although Mrs. Qing is a widowed woman, her wrists and eyes are very enviable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is rich enough to rival the country."

"When I built the mausoleum, Mrs. Qing almost took out all the family's assets, but I didn't expect to turn over again in just a few years."

Wang Ben on the other side of Ying Zheng also nodded.

"What the emperor said is that my father has a good relationship with him. I heard that she was about to die from a serious illness ten years ago. Fortunately, she was able to survive until now thanks to the help of nobles. However, no matter what my father asked, Mrs. Qing did not say who the noble was."

Meng Yi laughed.

"These businessmen are all eloquent, and their words are not credible, but then again..."

"Your Majesty, is it possible that you are going to Mrs. Qing's place?"

"Exactly!"

...

"Mrs. Qing, come out and see you!"

When he came to Ba Qing's house, Zhao Tuo called out directly.

Before seeing any movement from the guards in the mansion, there was a coquettish sound from the courtyard.

"Who is so rude to dare to make a noise here!"

I saw a slender and beautiful figure stepping up and appearing in the sight of everyone.

The woman seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a cute baby face and big watery eyes, which made people feel that their hearts would melt at a glance.

It's just how people are.

Seeing that the woman dared to talk to Zhao Tuo like this, Wang Ben stepped forward and scolded him angrily.

But at this time Zhao Tuo waved his hand.

"Baman, don't you know me?"

"Um?"

Seeing Zhao Tuo, Ba Man was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of joy quickly appeared in his eyes.

Immediately, her figure moved, and before everyone could react, she turned into a breeze and plunged into Zhao Tuo's arms.

"Little Master! You are finally back!"

"Ba Man really misses you so much..."

"Where's Sister Taozi? Why didn't she come with you?"

"Who are these people, why are they looking at me like this, so rude."

Baman's small head protruded from Zhao Tuo's neck, and his eyes kept looking at Ying Zheng and the others with curiosity.

At this moment, an old woman dressed in linen slowly walked out of the courtyard.

"Aman, it's rude to stop!"

The old woman's voice was weak, but steady as a rock.

Hearing her voice, Ba Man pouted and reluctantly left Zhao Tuo's arms and returned to the old woman.

"Grandma, he is a little adult, have you forgotten?"

"It's because you didn't forget it that you were rude."

The old woman stepped forward and bowed slightly to Zhao Tuo and Ying Zheng.

"Old body Ba Qing, I have seen your majesty, the emperor."

"No need to be polite, long time no see, Madam Qing." A smile appeared on Zhao Tuo's face.

"It's been almost ten years since we said goodbye last time."

"Yeah, after ten years, His Majesty finally got his wish and ascended the throne."

Ignoring Ba Man who was dumbfounded beside him, Ba Qing turned to look at Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I hope to forgive Ba Qing's sin of disrespect."

"Hahaha, it's okay!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked with great interest, "Listening to what you said, it seems that Zeng Jin and Tuo'er also have a lot of intersections."

"I am quite interested in this, and I can talk to you when I have time."

Ba Qing smiled politely, then looked at Zhao Tuo and asked, "Your Majesty is here, but for the sake of the agreement?"

"Please come with the old man."

After that, Ba Qing led the way into the mansion, followed by Zhao Tuo.

As for the people behind, they were confused.

The agreement of the year?

What contract?

What does it have to do with them coming here this time?

Although there were doubts in their hearts, everyone still followed Zhao Tuo and walked into the Ba Mansion...

ps: In history, Ba Widow Qing died in 220 BC, which is the twenty-eighth year of the first emperor. In recognition of her chastity festival, Qin Shihuang sealed her as a chaste woman and ordered the building of the Nui Huaiqing Terrace at her burial place to show her. world. *
