Da Qin: Father!I really just want to protect myself!

Seeing this, the beautiful hostess said, "If I use a copper knife to cut this ore, can I cut it open?"

Hearing this question, Xiang Yu froze.

It wasn't that he was stumped, but that he was shocked.

After all, this simple question now is simply out of place compared to the previous question.

It was so simple that Xiang Yu couldn't believe it for a while.

Seeing this, the beauty host continued to remind, "Bronze swords can't be cut off, but can copper knives do it?"

Xiang Yu was still a little dull, and murmured: "I can't?"

As soon as this remark came out, the beauty host was overjoyed, "That's right!"

"Congratulations to this distinguished guest for being eligible to participate in the auction!"

As if shocked, Xiang Yu looked at Uncle Xiang in disbelief, "I got the answer right?!"

Uncle Xiang couldn't help being happy, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "That's right! You got the answer right! You won!"

After confirming that the matter was correct, Xiang Yu also cheered happily, and couldn't help hugging Uncle Xiang, "I got the answer right! I finally got the answer right!"

But above, the beautiful hostess ignored the episode and continued the auction, "Congratulations to you two for being eligible for the auction. The starting price of these ores is 5 taels of gold. Please bid!"

After the voice fell, the beauty host looked down.

And Ying Lan didn't hesitate at all, and said directly, "300 million taels!"

Hearing this answer, Xiang Yu, who was overjoyed just now, froze instantly.

Chapter 373 Going to Lan'er

Walking out of Qian Shengtang, Xiang Yu frowned, but his face looked very strange.

And Xiang Bo followed Xiang Yu, looking at Xiang Yu with a slightly worried expression, not knowing how he was.

But seeing that Xiang Yu didn't speak, he didn't speak, but just followed silently.

After walking for a while, Xiang Yu finally responded.

He stopped, turned his head, but stared at Uncle Xiang with a little doubt, and said, "Uncle, have I won this time?"

Hearing this, Xiang Bo was also taken aback.

Although the answer to the question was correct this time, compared to the goal of snatching Yinglan's things, there is still a long way to go.

Thinking about it, Xiang Bo frowned, also very distressed.

hateful!

After all the calculations, the kid's economic strength has been counted down!

Xiang Bo, who was a tyrannical shopper before Yinglan, also knew it well, and naturally he also understood that if he really competed with Yinglan in an auction for financial resources, he would definitely have no chance of winning.

But because he was too nervous at the time, he never thought of this point.

This led to Xiang Yu's complete loss in the auction even though he answered the question correctly.

But after thinking for a while, Xiang Bo's face relaxed, "Of course I won! Yu'er, you answered the question correctly, and wasn't the competition at that time just answering the question? Why did you say you failed?"

Xiang Yu frowned at these remarks, but he did not agree, "But this time the purpose is to win him in the auction, but the only auction we conducted, I was completely defeated!"

Knowing that this matter would have a great impact on Xiang Yu, Uncle Xiang didn't dare to speak nonsense, and after thinking about it, he said, "What's so important about the auction? The most important thing this time is to answer the questions!"

Seeing Uncle Xiang's very confident expression, Xiang Yu was also a little shaken in his heart, and looked at Uncle Xiang with doubts in his eyes, "Really?"

Uncle Xiang nodded, looking very confident, "Of course! If the auction is more important, then just let everyone bid the price. Wouldn't it be easier to give it to whoever is higher?"

"But why do people spend so much time on this issue? Isn't it because this issue is more important, so they do this on purpose?"

"And Yu'er, since you are right on this question, then you have won, and nothing else matters!"

For these words, Xiang Yu also felt that it was reasonable, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

But then he seemed to think of something again, his eyes changed slightly and he said, "But he also answered the question correctly."

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Bo was taken aback again.

But after being dazed for a moment, he came back to his senses, and continued to speak: "That's at least a draw, at least you didn't lose, Yu'er!"

Hearing this, Xiang Yu seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes gradually brightened, and he said, "Yes! I didn't lose!"

Seeing Xiang Yu's appearance suddenly enlightened, Bo Xiang finally let go of his hanging heart, "After this incident, you should also understand that that person is not invincible, right?"

Facing Uncle Xiang's questioning gaze, Xiang Yu nodded firmly, "I understand uncle! I will work harder in the future!"

Looking at Xiang Yu's hopeful eyes, Uncle Xiang nodded, feeling very relieved, "That's right! It's good to understand!"

······

Luoyang.

In the mansion, Ying Zheng was flipping through an account book, while Wang Jian and Li Si were waiting aside.

The more he looked, the more Ying Zheng frowned, and it made people feel that the surrounding air was a bit colder.

While reading, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, "Building a pavilion is 3 taels of gold! A shed is 2 taels! A pool is 4 taels!"

"Okay! This is built more luxuriously than the palace!"

Listening to Ying Zheng's cold voice, Wang Jian and Li Si frowned, and their nerves were even more tense.

Based on the experience of following Ying Zheng for many years, both of them can feel that Ying Zheng is angry, and very angry.

Halfway through the page, Ying Zheng really couldn't bear this outrageous account book.

Throwing the ledger to the ground, Ying Zheng yelled violently, "Go and call this dog official!"

"Yes!" Seeing Ying Zheng's fury, Wang Jian didn't dare to hesitate, and stepped back quickly after agreeing.

Li Si, on the other hand, stayed where he was without saying a word, unconsciously holding his breath, for fear of being implicated if he made a mistake.

Soon, an obese middle-aged man hurried over with Wang Jian, his eyes were very disturbed, and he saluted Ying Zheng, "I see your majesty!"

Ying Zheng stared at him coldly, "Tell me, how much money was embezzled?"

Hearing this, the official's pupils trembled suddenly, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

But he knew that if he admitted it, he would definitely die, so the official knelt down and shouted for injustice, "I am wronged by my minister! I am wronged by my minister, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the dog official dared to cry for grievances, Ying Zheng stood up directly, then drew out the long sword of the guard next to him and put it on the official's neck, "I will ask again, how much money did you embezzle?!"

Feeling the chill from the blade, the official froze, not daring to move, for fear of accidentally being stabbed by the sword.

Glancing from the corner of the eye, the official saw the ledger not far away, and his face turned pale.

Now that the evidence is overwhelming, the official also knew that he had nowhere to escape, so he was so frightened that he cried bitterly, "Success! All the humble ministers are recruited!"

······

After solving the official's problem, Ying Zheng and his party boarded the carriage and prepared to rush back to Xianyang.

Wang Jian was riding outside on a horse, while Li Si had a special license to ride in the carriage with Ying Zheng.

Thinking back on what happened just now, Ying Zheng frowned, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "How did such a useless idiot become an official?"

Li Si on the opposite side answered truthfully, "Return to Your Majesty, that guy's immediate boss is his brother-in-law, and the investigation found that it was that guy who secretly spent a lot of money to manage it, so that this idiot can sit in that position."

Hearing this, Yingzheng's eyes turned cold, "How dare such an idiot dare to support him? Let that guy be punished for the same crime!"

Li Si nodded, "Yes!"

Then Ying Zhengchang sighed, looking very worried.

Seeing this, Li Si felt uncomfortable.

Suddenly he seemed to think of something, his gaze changed slightly, and he said: "By the way, Your Majesty, the young master is also in Luoyang, do you want to go and see him?"

Ying Zheng was taken aback, "Is Lan'er here?"

Li Si nodded, "Yes, the young master has been out for a while, and he has been active around Luoyang recently. If you want, you can go and meet him."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng didn't hesitate, and directly ordered, "Go to Lan'er!"

Chapter 374 I have a method that can increase Daqin's talents by more than ten times

manor.

In the room, Ying Lan was looking at the blueprint in his hand, when there was a knock on the door, and then an old voice came, "Juzi, are you looking for me?"

Ying Lan's eyes still fell on the blueprint in front of him, "Come in."

Hearing that Mozi walked into the room, Yinglan handed over the blueprint directly.

After receiving the blueprint, Mozi also began to examine it carefully. At the same time, he couldn't help but frowned, asking a little puzzledly, "What is this?"

Ying Lan replied directly: "The blueprint for building a steel plant."

Mozi frowned, "Steel factory?"

Ying Lan continued to explain, "Things that can mass-produce steel?"

Hearing this explanation, Mozi frowned slightly, "We already have so many craftsmen producing steel all night, isn't that enough?"

Ying Lan's eyes also fell on the blueprint, and his eyes were thoughtful, "If this steel factory is built, at the same time now, we only need less than half of the current number of people, and we can produce more than ten times the steel. "

Mo Zi was startled, "Ten times more?!"

"This steel factory is so magical?!"

Muttering, he also looked at the drawings carefully with great interest.

Savoring the blueprint carefully, Mozi also nodded slightly, and said, "This construction method is unique, but if you follow these steps, can you really make this steel plant move?"

As an elder of the Mohist school, this kind of drawing is naturally not difficult for Mozi, and he can easily understand it.

So Mozi quickly understood how the steel plant was built.

There is only one point, that is, after the steel plant is built, can it really act as stated in the blueprint?

This mechanism is so special that even Mozi couldn't see through it for a while, so he couldn't help but become curious.

Faced with Mozi's doubts, Ying Lan was very confident, nodded slightly and said, "That's natural, as long as the steps are correct, following the blueprint will definitely achieve the desired effect!"

Mo Zi was thoughtful, "Is that so..."

Seeing Mo Zi concentrating on the blueprint, Ying Lan didn't bother, but just waited beside him.

After a while, Ying Lan felt that Mozi had read the blueprints well enough, so Ying Lan said, "Isn't this difficult for the Mo family?"

After confirming the difficulty of the blueprint, Mo Zi looked at Ying Lan firmly, "Don't worry, Juzi, although it will take some time for this level of difficulty, as long as Mo Zi makes it, there will be no mistakes!"

Hearing that Yinglan was also very satisfied, she nodded, "That's good!"

"The required materials have just been brought back. Old Wu is in charge of hand-picking. When the time comes, you can negotiate with him and bring all the materials over!"

Mozi nodded, "Understood!"

But at this moment, there was only a knock on the door, and Wu Qi's voice came from outside, "Young Master, Your Majesty is here!"

Hearing that answer, Ying Lan was taken aback, "Father?"

Then he looked at Mozi and said, "Go ahead and do what you ordered, remember to do it in secret, don't let the news out!"

Knowing that Ying Lan has something to do next, Mo Zi didn't hold back, "Yes!"

Then just retreat.

After ordering Mo Zi to back down, Ying Lan said to the outside, "Father, please come in!"

······

Soon, Ying Zheng and his party walked into Ying Lan's room led by Wu Qi.

As soon as he walked to the door, Ying Zheng heard the familiar voice.

[Father came so suddenly, could it be that he discovered something? 】

Hearing this voice, Ying Zheng didn't bother to pay attention.
