"The humble minister asks again, if the tea shop is simple and simple, with only a straw shed for shelter from the wind and rain, and no valuables."

"The shopkeeper's face is treacherous and evil, not like a kind person."

"It just so happened that there was a carriage standing by the side of the road, like a literati out for an outing."

"Who should the pear seller send his things to?"

Chen Qing asked again.

Fusu hesitated for a moment: "If you know the book and understand the reason, your heart will not go bad."

"Let's leave it to the literati to take care of it temporarily, so I can rest assured."

Chen Qing smiled meaningfully: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that they will steal the old man's pears, or just take the pears in a carriage and run away?"

Fu Su immediately shook his head: "Absolutely not, how can a scholar be ignorant of propriety, righteousness and shame?"

"Your Highness, look."

"Even if you are a prince, you judge people by their appearance, how can common people and merchants be free from vulgarity?"

"If the bank is in dilapidated condition, who would dare to deposit Wan Guan's wealth here?"

"Put a copper coin into it today, and there will be tens of thousands of money rolling in in the future."

"This money can't be saved."

Chen Qing said firmly.

After Fusu thought for a long time, if he got something.

"Thank you sir for teaching me."

He bowed and saluted: "I just don't know what the father thinks, besides, the location of the governor's office is not far from Xianyang Palace, so let's build a twenty-foot tall building..."

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand: "Then ask for instructions first."

"The two buildings are connected together, which can save some labor and materials."

"Furthermore, a hanging ladder is built in the middle, which is also convenient for you and me to communicate with each other."

"It will cost more if we separate."

"With His Highness' respect, the governor's office must not be too shabby."

Chapter 247 Chen Qing, you really deserve to die!

Xianyang Palace, imperial study.

Yingzheng and Master Fusu got together, staring at the pattern on the table and discussing in low voices.

"What's the box here?"

"It's all glass. My husband said that it should be laid neatly with glass and connected with the windows to form a 'curtain wall' style."

Fusu's painting skills are not bad, and after asking Tian Zhou for many details, the skyscrapers he drew are very exquisite and lifelike.

"The pedestal underneath is the bank?"

"How high does that add up?"

Ying Zheng glanced at the densely packed windows on the building, and looked it up from top to bottom.

"About twenty feet high."

"Twenty feet?!"

Facing the inquiring eyes of the First Emperor, Fusu nodded in confirmation.

"Both buildings are twenty feet high, so..."

In Ying Zheng's mind, he roughly sketched what they would look like when they were built.

Two towering pavilions live next to each other, magnificent and grand.

The front wall is all made of clear and transparent glass, which shines brightly under the sunlight.

There are hanging ladders connecting the buildings.

Standing in it, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery of Xianyang, which is too beautiful to behold.

"Call Chen Qing into the palace."

"Something like this, he..."

Ying Zheng stopped talking just in time.

"Father."

Fusu looked at Shi Huangdi suspiciously.

"The widow ordered him to be in charge of the royal house. He was so extravagant in order to build the government office. Who gave him the courage!"

"Do you regard the Royal Internal Library as your own?"

"Quickly call him over."

Ying Zheng waved his hand with a sullen look on his face.

"promise."

Fusu didn't dare to neglect, and walked out of the imperial study worriedly.

Two quarters later.

"Sir, please don't disobey your father."

"Careful in words and deeds."

Fusu and Chen Qing stood at the door and said in a low voice.

"My minister knows."

Chen Qing was secretly puzzled.

The first emperor was not the kind of petty person.

He should understand the truth!

"See Your Majesty."

After Chen Qing entered the door, he bowed and saluted honestly.

"Father."

Fusu stood aside and saluted as well.

Ying Zheng sat calmly behind the table, and said lightly: "Concubine Zheng has been thinking about you a lot recently, Fu Su, please go to the harem and ask for peace."

"promise."

Fusu showed doubts on his face, and gave Chen Qing a wink, signaling him to be careful.

Zhao Chong was probably handling official business at the Black Ice Terrace, except for a few waiters in the Imperial Study Room, only Ying Zheng and Chen Qing were left looking at each other.

"Is this the government office you want to build?"

The First Emperor trembled holding the portrait on the table.

Chen Qing carefully distinguished for a moment, then nodded and said, "Exactly."

"Do you know how much material they consume?"

"The widow hasn't spent so much money yet. What is your intention to build such a large building and enjoy it as much as you want?!"

Ying Zheng scolded sharply.

"Your Majesty, I have already calculated it, and the consumption is not too much."

Chen Qing said with reason and evidence: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs can produce glass, cement, including iron bars."

"The raw materials for glass firing are nothing more than coal and sand."

"The coal is transported from Baligou, and it doesn't even cost half a cent per catty."

"If sand saves money, it can be salvaged from the Weihe River, which is similar to picking it up for nothing."

"If you want to have a clear color, you need to select fine white sand, which can be obtained within a hundred miles, and it is just a waste of money."

"Cement, iron bars are similar."

"The ore is picked from the mountains, and it is calcined with fierce fire to become the finished product."

"The biggest cost is only labor."

"It just so happened that General Meng Tian captured [-] Xiongnu in the Northland, and he saved even labor costs. He only needs to provide them with food and drink, and he can produce a steady stream of materials."

"Extravagant can't really be called extravagant, it's just a novelty for a while."

Ying Zheng nodded slowly, his eyes were even more moving.

"Cement and iron materials are in short supply, so how can they be used indiscriminately?"

"Besides, you, as the Minister of Internal History, are suspected of using public affairs for personal gain."

"The widow appointed you to take up this position because the royal trust is more important than you!"

"How dare you not think of paying back, and put your mind on the right path!"

Chen Qing frowned slightly, and explained: "Your Majesty, the House of Internal Affairs is in charge of royal affairs, in other words, it represents the face of the royal family."

"It's also common sense for the prince's government office."

"It's my duty to do my best to bring honor to the royal family."

"How dare you lose even a little bit?"

Ying Zheng's cheeks twitched slightly.

Chen Qing is usually so transparent!

Why are you so confused at this time!

"The governor's office is located in the south of Xianyang Palace."

"You built the two government offices so tall and majestic, wouldn't it eclipse the royal palace?"

The First Emperor said in a reproachful tone.

"Your Majesty, the great Qin Dynasty is rising like the sun, shining brightly."

"My minister thought that the newly established government office should have a new atmosphere."

"Such a way to forge ahead and strive hard..."

Chen Qing suddenly raised his head, and suddenly figured it out.

Your Majesty, you want it too!

If you want you, tell me, how would I know if you didn't tell me?

Ying Zheng smiled.

He finally understood!

"It's a pity that the Xianyang Palace is huge in scale. If it needs to be renovated, too many materials will be consumed."

"If you do it rashly, I'm afraid that the old and the new will be different, and the style will be abrupt, which will destroy the original solemnity."

"When the production of materials comes up, I will definitely build His Majesty's palace to perfection as soon as possible."

Chen Qing replied honestly.

Ying Zheng was slightly dissatisfied: "How long will it take?"

"Probably... one or two years, no more than three years at the latest."

Chen Qing said in a low voice.

"Three years?"

Ying Zheng asked back, "How long will it take for these two buildings?"

"This……"

Chen Qing thought for a moment: "If you don't spare manpower, the project can be completed in at least one year."
