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

"If this is the case, the world will be at peace long ago!"

"The widow is worried..."

Concubine Zheng took his arm and said quickly, "Your Majesty, why worry?"

"Let Shiman and Chen Qing get married as soon as possible. They share the same bed. What can we hide from her?"

"Furthermore... Even if Shiman was young and ignorant, the concubine arranged for Wang Jian's granddaughter to marry together."

"The three generals of the Wang family are loyal to Da Qin."

"Your Majesty won't even trust her?"

"I'll call her into the palace to give her some advice later on. With two pairs of eyes staring at her, what kind of storm can Chen Qing cause?"

Concubine Zheng didn't speak for Chen Qing, she cared about her son's future.

Because Ying Zheng had a previous record of assigning Fu Su to the Beidi Supervising Army, Concubine Zheng always had a sense of crisis buried in her heart.

Chen Qing's proposal made her very tempted.

Although Fusu is in charge of the world's industry and commerce now, he has no real job and no official residence, so it doesn't seem like that.

If this matter can be implemented, thinking that his son will offend the first emperor again in the future, for the sake of the overall situation of the court, he will not send him out again in a fit of anger.

"Wang Jian's granddaughter?"

Ying Zheng asked puzzledly, "What does Shiman's marriage have to do with her?"

"Oh, my concubine forgot to tell His Majesty."

Concubine Zheng repeated the words that Fusu and his wife had fooled her, and persuaded softly: "Old General Wang Jian has worked hard and made great achievements, but General Wang Ben's illness is hard to recover from. Why don't we use that girl Zhiyin's marriage to bring joy to their family? .”

"The daughter of Xiangli's family heard that she is hardworking and capable. She has always been by Chen Qing's side, and she is very helpful in doing some cleaning work."

"The concubine is a favor, and it also fulfills them."

……

Ying Zheng is not so easy to fool.

His face was gloomy, and a suffocation was stagnant in his chest.

On the black ice platform, all the officials, civil and military, were inspected, and the people in the head of Guizhou were visited.

Only the matter of the harem has always been avoided.

Unexpectedly, there was a mistake in this!

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"

Concubine Zheng didn't know that she had caused trouble, so she asked in bewilderment.

"Okay, why not?"

Ying Zheng sneered: "The widow expects that Chen Qing will definitely feel guilty, and he should be rewarded."

-

In the dead of night, Chen Qing also did not relax.

"Bashu Chamber of Commerce?"

"Ba Shiqing? The Zhuo family, the Wang family?"

A joint greeting card was handed over to Chen Qing.

"Is the widow here?"

Chen Qing is still very curious about this famous woman in history, the richest woman in Daqin.

It's just that when Zhuo Tianlu and Cheng Ji held a Hongmen banquet last time, the widow Qing didn't appear.

Knowing the other party's situation, Chen Qing thought that he would not have anything to do with her.

Unexpectedly, the widow Qing came to visit suddenly today.

"Invite them in."

Chen Qingchong gave orders.

In half a quarter of an hour, a plainly dressed and healthy old woman appeared at the entrance of the hall with several followers.

On both sides are the Zhuo family and the Wang family who are talking in Xianyang, their pace slowed down a little, and Ba Qing is vaguely headed.

"The old man visited Chen Shao's mansion. He has been admiring him for a long time, but he failed to meet him by fate."

"When I saw her today, she was really imposing and a talent."

Ba Shiqing was all smiles, and he said compliments as soon as he came up.

"The old lady doesn't need to be polite."

"Please sit down."

With a gentle smile on the corner of Chen Qing's mouth, he asked her to sit opposite.

"Thank you, Young Master Chen, for your seat."

Although Ba Shiqing is a world-renowned heroine, she has no arrogance in front of Chen Qing.

Chen Qing secretly looked at the other party, amazed in his heart.

No wonder she was able to keep her huge family business after her husband's death, and she was able to take the family's cinnabar business to a higher level.

Just this kind of human experience is unmatched by ordinary people.

"My official has always been straightforward."

"I don't know what's the reason for the old lady's visit late at night?"

Chen Qing looked up at the people from Zhuo and Cheng's family.

Didn't they catch slaves?

Why did you persuade the widow Qing to come forward and find this place?

"Since Young Master Chen has said it, the old man will not beat around the bush."

"I'm here for coal."

Ba Shiqing bluntly explained his intention.

"Oh?"

Chen Qing raised his eyebrows.

What a keen business sense!

It must be Fusu distributing coal in Xianyang City that attracted the attention of the Bashu Chamber of Commerce.

Both ironmaking and cinnabar smelting required a lot of fuel, so it was understandable for them to find themselves.

Ba Shiqing said slowly: "The Baligou Coal Mine on the outskirts of Xianyang is owned by Chen Shaofu?"

"I don't know if I want to buy coal, what is the price?"

Chen Qing regained his spirits immediately: "The price of coal is cheap, and everyone in Xianyang knows it. The old lady came to look for me, so she found the right person."

"This official is always fair in dealing with people."

"The price..."

"I'm not short of money, I just want some iron."

Ba Shiqing nodded slowly: "Bartering is also feasible. How much coal does Chen Shaofu plan to exchange for how much iron?"

Chen Qing had long thought about it, and said happily: "It is not easy to smelt iron, and I will never do that kind of bullying. It is better to exchange three ships of coal for one ship of iron..."

Before he finished speaking, the faces of Zhuo and Cheng's family changed.

Three shipments of coal are exchanged for one shipment of iron, why don't you grab it?

Coal can be used directly after being dug out, but iron smelting is time-consuming and labor-intensive, don't you know?

"Chen Shaofu, the villain thinks that it is most fair to exchange a shipment of iron ore for a shipment of coal, and no one will suffer."

"If you don't agree, we can only retreat in spite of the difficulties."

The steward of the Zhuo family lowered his head and said.

"Compared with charcoal, coal is only cheaper."

"If Young Master Chen thinks there are rare goods to live in, the Cheng family really can't afford it."

The steward of the Cheng family said the same thing.

Seeing that the negotiations between the two parties had reached a stalemate, Ba Shiqing immediately came out to smooth things over: "Young Mansion Chen, although I have lived in the inner house for a long time, I have heard of your name."

"Your Majesty's trust in you is really enviable."

"The mountains, seas and lakes in the world, if you take something, you have to pay taxes."

"Chen Shaofu distributes coal to the poor people in Xianyang to keep them warm for the winter, so as to offset the tax. It is really unexpected, but it is very beneficial to the people. I admire it."

"Since the price can't be negotiated, I think it's better to make a compromise."

"Chen Shaofu can ask the imperial court to allow the three of us to mine coal."

"You don't need to do anything, I am willing to give [-]% of the net profit to express my gratitude."

Ba Shiqing said unhurriedly: "Shi Nie is no better than others. There are many mines that I know of, and you can't mine them all by yourself."

"Besides... sooner or later, the use of this thing will be spread to the world, and it is hard to guarantee that no one will mine it privately."

"Remote and remote places, it may be difficult for the imperial court to control them."

Chen Qing almost wanted to laugh.

Let me just say, Ba Shiqing is famous, how can he be so easy to talk about.

It is false that you bought coal, but it is true that you want to get a hand in the coal mine, right?

Not only do you want to mine coal, but you also want to operate according to the taxes I won?

Think too much, you guys!

Although they have not been educated by later generations, as businessmen, these three families naturally understand the importance of controlling upstream and downstream industries.

The last time Zhuo and Cheng suffered a loss, this time they have a long memory, not only know how to find someone to make peace, but also know how to advance by retreating.

"The old lady is right."

"Actually, mining coal doesn't have to be that troublesome."

"I once told His Highness the Crown Prince that within a thousand miles of Xianyang City, there are at least tens of thousands of large and small coal mines."

"Maybe there are countless coals buried in the deep mountains and wild places where birds don't shit."

Chen Qing said kindly.

"Then you still sell it so expensive?"

The steward of the Zhuo family couldn't help but said.

Chen Qing glanced at him sideways: "Although there are many coal mines, if you want the imperial court to allow mining..."

"As long as you are like this official, with the emperor as your father-in-law and the prince as your uncle, it will be easy!"

Chapter 170 He bullied you, oppressed you, and didn't kill you, why didn't he like it?

Chen Qing's eccentric Versailles speech made Zhuo and Cheng's stewards immediately turn dark.

If they don't know that the other party is not easy to mess with, they really want to say a word of greeting: Do you speak?

"Chen Shaofu, we have come to discuss with you with sincerity."

"Please do not joke."

The steward of the Zhuo family bowed slightly and said seriously.

Chen Qing couldn't help laughing, he leaned back carelessly, and looked at him contemptuously: "May I ask who you are?"

"The villain Zhuo Gao is the chief steward of the Zhuo family."

"As long as Xianyang responds to affairs, villains can make decisions."
