Daqin: At the beginning, he revealed that he was a traverser, and Ying Zheng was paralyzed

This is the paper he wanted!

"The little ones don't dare to take credit, but being able to serve the adults is a blessing for the villain."

Yang Bao said modestly.

"Whether you have credit or not is not up to you."

"Yang Bao, wait until you become an official."

Chen Qing nodded solemnly.

Yang Bao was taken aback for a moment, and then revealed an uncontrollable ecstasy.

The word "official" has fascinated many people throughout the ages, let alone someone from a poor family like him.

"Thank you for the reward, my lord..."

Before his flattery was finished, Chen Qing impatiently pulled the other party: "I told you, don't just kneel down. You don't have to thank me if you want to thank me. Your Majesty rewards you as an official. Also, Miss Ling I will pass the message on your behalf, and when you get rich in the future, don't forget the kindness of Xiangli's family's cultivation."

Yang Bao bowed respectfully and said: "The villain will not dare to forget, if he betrays his master, he will be struck by lightning and die!"

Chen Qing shook the paper in his hand, then asked about the business: "How much is the cost of these papers?"

"My lord, the cost is not too high."

"After a small experiment, the quality of the paper made of hemp material is not good."

"On the contrary, after the bark is beaten, the paper produced is flat, thin and neat, with fine texture, which is most suitable for writing."

"I thought to myself, peeling the bark is not a lot of work."

"Even if the big tree can't be peeled off, it's much easier to peel off the small saplings or branches."

"If the old, weak, women and children in the homes of ordinary people in the city have nothing to do, they can find a place at random, and they can peel off a lot in one day, and the purchase price can be kept very low."

Yang Bao expressed his thoughts in an orderly manner, waiting for the other party's instruction.

"Yang Bao, you are such a motherly talent!"

"Being a young prime minister has wronged you!"

Chen Qing laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

Not only is he smart and good at research, but he also knows how to find ways to reduce procurement costs.

Even if he doesn't have his own support, he will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.

He probably had one of the lampposts in Xianyang City.

Chapter 119 The mine is the best home for the Huns

Chen Qing ordered someone to pack a stack of freshly baked papers, ready to enter the palace to announce the good news, and by the way, ask Yang Bao for credit.

As soon as he went out, a probing figure quickly greeted him.

"East..."

"Li Yi?"

Seeing his flustered expression, Chen Qing's heart skipped a beat.

"What's going on?"

"East..."

Before Li Yi approached, a strong smell of urine came over his face.

Chen Qing frowned and held his breath.

"When I finish scraping the women's toilets in Xianyang City, the saltpeter is still not enough."

"There are too many impurities in it, and there is not even half of the weight left after boiling."

"Now the gunpowder is almost prepared, but the total is still about a hundred catties."

"Do you want to... add some charcoal to it, to make up the weight."

The Qin law was strict, and the first emperor ordered Chen Qing to hand over a thousand catties of gunpowder within three days.

Let alone a hundred catties, even ten catties will not work.

Li Yi was also in a panic, so he came to discuss with Chen Qing in a hurry.

"What kind of bad idea did you come up with with your pig's brain!"

"The ratio of gunpowder can be changed at will?"

Chen Qing sternly reprimanded.

"East..."

Li Yi looked at him with a bitter face, aggrieved.

Tomorrow is the date for handing in the gunpowder. Where can they go to find a hundred catties of gunpowder?

"I'll give you some silver."

"Miss Ling, do you have any money with you?"

Chen Qing touched himself, but his pocket was empty.

He is usually used to eating and drinking at Fusu's place, and everything he needs is supplied by the Prince's House.

In addition, copper coins are heavy, so I developed the habit of not carrying money.

"I have it here."

Xiangli Ling took out the purse directly: "Is it enough?"

Chen Qing took it in his hand and weighed it, "Almost."

"My lord, we also have them here."

"Use ours."

Yang Bao and others donated generously.

"It won't take that much."

Chen Qing hastily declined.

He poured out all the square holes and round coins in the purse, and ordered: "Go to the copper and iron workshops in Xianyang City, and buy the slag from forging from door to door. Don't want big ones, and don't want small ones. Rice grains Left and right are the best."

"It doesn't matter how many impurities are in it, as long as it is hard enough."

"There must also be a lot of slag accumulated in Jiang Zuo Shao's mansion. Go to Mr. Xiangli, take it all back, and mix it with gunpowder."

Li Yi looked terrified: "Boss, can this work?"

He felt that adding charcoal was enough to cheat, but he didn't expect Chen Qing to ask him to add charcoal directly.

"Okay? You write me the word!"

"Do what you are told to do!"

Chen Qing pushed him angrily, wishing to kick him.

"Oh."

Li Yi nodded in bewilderment, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Chen Shaofu, let me take him to find my father."

"Qin Mo has served in Jiangzuo Shaofu for many years, I know where the things you want are."

Xiang Liling offered to propose.

"Ah."

Chen Qing nodded: "Thank you, Miss Ling."

"Where is it."

Xiang Liling noticed that the other party gave the money to Li Yi, but put the money bag into her arms calmly, and felt ashamed immediately.

at dusk.

Fusu came back from Baligou, hurried into the imperial study, and stayed there until now.

"My son is really uncertain about what the gentleman said, so I ask my father to rule."

He repeated Chen Qing's proposal exactly, and expressed his concerns frankly.

"Contract coal mines and do business in partnership?"

"He also wants to open a Heaven and Earth..."

The corner of Yingzheng's mouth curled into a playful smile: "All are allowed. Why not?"

"what?"

Fusu raised his head in surprise: "I'm worried, this move seems to be a bad start. If the businessman is like Mr. Renren, he clings to the powerful and swallows the court's property..."

Ying Zheng shook his head: "If you don't have Chen Qing, isn't there such a thing?"

"Fusu, human nature drives profit!"

"There are as many local tyrants as a cow's hair, and it has been like this for generations."

"If it's true what Chen Qing said, the Shi Nie Mine is so widely distributed, even if he doesn't do it, sooner or later someone else will follow, and the final result will be the same."

Fusu frowned, "Then..."

"You are the prince of Daqin, so your vision cannot be limited to one corner."

Ying Zheng painstakingly taught: "In the battle against Chu in the past, Li Xin was defeated. I had no choice but to ask Wang Jian to come out of the mountain. Most of them asked for rewards of fertile land, beautiful houses, and fine clothes and food. I agreed one by one, and only then did I get Daqin's thousands of miles. country."

"If you give up, you will gain."

"As long as it works for Daqin, it's just Shi Nie, let alone a partnership, so why not give it to him as a gift to Chen Qing?"

"Do you know what will happen if the five-year plan is realized?"

Fusu raised his head blankly: "How?"

"In the direction of the Great Qin soldiers, there is no single enemy, and the mountains and rivers are far and wide."

"Everything in the world really belongs to Daqin."

Ying Zheng's five fingers were slowly but firmly joined together, and the ambition in his eyes was burning like a blazing flame.

"At that time, the income will be more than ten times or a hundred times?"

Fu Su nodded slowly: "I understand."

Ying Zheng patted him on the shoulder: "If the widow is in one day, Chen Qing will not be able to cause any big storms. If... the widow will deal with it himself."

"Father, my son found out..."

Fusu suddenly sensed a sign of danger, and hurriedly asked: "Sir, it seems that he already has something to belong to, that is, the daughter who will be the prince of the young mansion. If the father wants to give you a marriage, please do it earlier." decision."

"The Xiangli family?"

Ying Zheng shook his head disdainfully.

Since the split of the Mohist school, the momentum has long been not as good as before.

Xiangli Xi can be regarded as a poor family at best, how can he compare to his daughter?

Chen Qing is cunning and cunning, so he will definitely make a choice that suits him.

"Your Majesty, Chen Shaofu, Leihuo Division, asks to see you."

The waiter came in to preach.

"Xuan."

Chen Qing was waiting outside the door, and when he heard Ying Zheng's deep voice, he walked into the study happily holding a roll of papers.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty."

"The humble minister put all his energy into thinking, and finally lived up to the entrustment, and made the paper."

"Your Majesty, please watch."
