my grandfather was qin shi huang

This grandson is constantly coming up with fantastic ideas. If he dares to say this, nine times out of ten, there really is something he can do!

He knew that this brat and his eighteenth uncle had set up a large-scale charcoal farm in Hedong County. The charcoal business was booming and they were making money every day.

However, he had no intention of grabbing money from his son and grandson.

On the contrary, I am happy to see the result, even a little pleased.

Then, the two of them saw Zhao Ying happily walking to the cases beside him, grabbing a brush, and slowly wrote a few powerful characters:

Salt production method.

Shi Lu subconsciously looked at each other with the First Emperor, his tone a little uncertain.

"How to make salt?"

Zhao Ying said cheerfully.

"The method of making salt, I accidentally discovered, through simple processing, can turn those poor, even poisonous table salts into the best refined salt - maybe even better than the best refined salt now, it looks as fine as The powder is as crystal clear as snow and tastes better..."

Shi Lu:! ! ! ! ! !

First Emperor:……

Shi Lu only felt that his throat was a little dry.

"Your Highness—this is true..."

"You brat, do you really have any idea?"

The First Emperor was a little uneasy.

If only, as Zhao Ying said, the poorest, even inedible poisonous salt could be turned into table salt that is better than the best refined salt today...

The value contained in it is great!

More than a million?

One hundred million is not worth it!

"Of course, this is not that difficult..."

Zhao Ying nodded.

The purification of coarse salt is not a complicated problem in the first place. It only involves crushing, screening, filtering and evaporation.

In this era, although there are no dryers or centrifugal pumps, there is ridiculously cheap coal and ridiculously cheap labor.

In this day and age, the profits from doing this are so high that even the most black-hearted capitalists tremble.

Shi Lu: ...

Seeing Zhao Ying just talking about something trivial in Yun Danfengqing's words, Shi Lu suddenly wanted to jump up and kick him.

It's not that difficult...

Listen, does this person say anything?

Is it appropriate for you, old man, to talk about this matter worth tens of millions of dollars like drinking water?

At this time, the First Emperor was not excited anymore.

The emperor's eldest grandson has a clever method of making salt, how normal it is.

Papermaking, printing, hydraulic spinning wheels, hydraulic stone mills, curved shaft plows, greenhouses...

Now, isn’t it normal to have multiple salt production methods?

"Your Highness..."

Shi Lu rubbed his hands together excitedly and looked at Zhao Ying eagerly.

The method of making salt!

With this, why should I, a young man, worry about not having money in the future?

Seeing a young man from Shi Lu, he was so anxious that he almost wagged his tail. Zhao Ying did not continue teasing him. He immediately took out a piece of paper, wrote and drew, and gave a general introduction to the process of purifying coarse salt.

Only the process is mentioned, not the principle.

Just asking, I found it when I was playing around with it.

After receiving the salt-making method provided by Zhao Ying, Shi Lu couldn't wait any longer. He picked up the drawing and wanted to go back and find someone to try it immediately. The First Emperor was also very curious.

I looked at the sky and it was still early, so I was not in the mood to deal with the memorial.

"Come on, let's go over there and take a look - if there's anything wrong, you might as well direct it on the spot..."

The First Emperor proposed immediately.

Shi Lu also nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Ying glanced at the memorials on several cases and found that about one-third of them had been dealt with. Even if they were all left to the First Emperor, it shouldn't be a big problem. He stopped worrying and stood up immediately.

"Then go and see..."

In the Shaofu, Da Qin's craftsmen with the most comprehensive categories and the best skills were gathered to create some ordinary distillation and filtering vessels. They were easily able to make the tools that Zhao Ying needed in a short time.

The tools were finished here, and someone drove a carriage over there to deliver the coarse salt that the First Emperor needed.

Crush, sieve, dissolve, stir, filter, evaporate...

After half an hour.

Looking at the salt in front of me, which is as fine as powder and as white as snow.

Everyone was stunned.

Hearing it and seeing it with your own eyes are two completely different experiences.

The First Emperor couldn't help but take a deep breath, walked over in person, stretched out his fingers, dipped a little of the freshly purified salt, and put it in his mouth...

As soon as you taste it, your eyes will light up.

"Good salt!"

Over there, Shi Lu couldn't wait to take a bite.

Compared with the best refined salt commonly consumed, it is more delicate and less bitter.

"Good salt, good salt..."

Shi Lu's beard trembled with excitement.

"It's better than the best refined salt - Your Highness the Emperor Changsun, you are truly amazing, amazing!"

Seeing the excitement of the First Emperor and Shi Lu, Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile and joke.

"It's good if it can be used - otherwise, my eldest father favors me so much, I'm afraid it will affect the court's money and food arrangements, and Mr. Shi will have a disagreement with everyone..."

Shi Lu: ...

He waved his hands in embarrassment.

"How could it happen? How could it happen? It doesn't matter. If His Highness needs anything, just give him orders. Our young master must fully cooperate and rectify the armament. That is a serious matter..."

Zhao Ying: ...

I never thought that you, a guy with big eyebrows and big eyes, could stare and tell lies!

The salt-making method provided by Zhao Ying was indeed a timely help for the Shaofu, whose finances were becoming increasingly tight. After Shi Lu waited for this method, he immediately launched large-scale production with great enthusiasm.

Coarse salt can be found everywhere in Guanzhong.

A lot of cliff salt is not pure enough and cannot be eaten, or although it can be barely eaten, it is bitter and astringent and has a very poor taste. The salt making method provided by Zhao Ying is equivalent to turning waste into treasure and picking up money on the ground.

Da Qin learned from Qi State and implemented a strict salt and iron monopoly system. The production and sales rights of salt and iron were owned by the state, and high salt and iron taxes were levied.

Therefore, this technology is equivalent to directly giving the Qin court a golden finger.

With this, Zhao Ying can be said to have put down one of his worries.

Give me a peach, give me a peach in return.

The First Emperor cared deeply for himself and protected himself without reservation. Naturally, he could not let the First Emperor make things difficult for him. Naturally, he could take advantage of the First Emperor's favor and status as the emperor's grandson to make a fortune through the technology of salt purification.

But, it is not necessary.

He is the eldest grandson of the First Emperor of Qin. If he wants to live, or even live better, he must first let Great Qin get better, instead of trying to make money for himself.

The news that the emperor's grandson was about to go on an expedition against the Huns was finally officially confirmed by the court.

The recruit camp has also entered the final stage of preparation.

Everyone was in high spirits. Even the Mohist apprentices, who had always been low-key, began to have a serious atmosphere. Everyone put on the equipment provided by the court and began to follow the recruits for more rigorous assault training and cooperation. exercise.

Wang Nan, who originally planned to stay at her parents' home for a few more days, rushed back from her parents' home that day after hearing the news. Although he didn't say much, he was obviously attached to Zhao Ying.

And Zhao Ying also tried his best to spend time with his newlywed wife.

Li Shu, who had always looked cold and charming, began to wear a full set of armor in the past few days, hanging out under Zhao Ying's nose from time to time. Sometimes, he would still follow Zhao Ying around with a cold face, as if he had returned to the days when he just served as Zhao Ying's bodyguard.

This blunt and obvious move made Zhao Ying dumbfounded.

But how dare Zhao Ying agree to her?

This is not an ordinary guard. This is Li Xin's precious daughter. Whether to take her or not depends on Li Xin's wishes. If Zhao Ying follows Zhao Ying's wishes, then he must not take her.

If something really happened, it would be hard to explain to Li Xin.

Zhao Qi, who has always been a little afraid of Zhao Ying, has come closer to him from time to time in the past few days. During meals, he talks a lot more than before. And it can be seen that he has done a lot of homework and talked about topics related to the Xiongnu.

Only Zhao Gao wished he could shrink himself and disappear completely from under Zhao Ying's eyes.

When I met Hu Hai that day, my original plan was to let Hu Hai create an opportunity for me to meet His Majesty, but now it seems that it is not necessary. As long as the emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Ying goes out to fight, he will be like a tiger entering the mountains and a dragon entering the sea.

As long as the Eighteenth Young Master had a little cooperation, he would be sure to return to the First Emperor's side.

Although the final day of departure has not yet come, the entire eldest son's residence already has an atmosphere of imminent departure. Even the goddess stick Xu Negi has surprisingly become more at ease these days.

He lives in seclusion, hiding in his own small yard, and rarely shows his face.

……

At this time, Cao Shen, who volunteered to go to Peixian County, finally returned to Peixian County and met his two old friends as he wished.

"So, it was you who recommended me to His Highness?"

Xiao He looked as usual and stood up to fill Cao Shen with a cup of tea.

"Exactly, His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, who is benevolent and loving, and thirsty for talents, specially sent me back to ask Brother Xiao to come out. Now, the Emperor's eldest grandson is about to go to the Xiongnu. It is a great opportunity for us to make contributions. With Brother Xiao's talent , going here will definitely be like a Kunpeng spreading its wings, soaring thousands of miles, why bother to be trapped here, depressed and unable to achieve goals..."

Having said this, he looked at Xiao He with fiery eyes.

"Brother Xiao, this opportunity is rare, please make a decision quickly..."

Glancing calmly at Gai Nie, Chen Sheng and others who were silent like guards behind Cao Shen, Xiao He secretly sighed in his heart and said with a wry smile.

"Thanks to the wrong love, I dare not obey my orders——"

Cao Shen was overjoyed when he heard this.

He immediately joined forces with Xiao He and hurried to Liu Ji's residence.

Now, after marrying Lu Gong's daughter, Liu Ji also purchased his own property in Peixian County under the control of his daughter-in-law. He no longer has to live in the house of Widow Cao like in the past.

However, he did not dare to take Widow Cao home for the time being.

"What, you said His Highness the Emperor's Grandson wanted to take us to fight the Huns - Cao Shen, you piece of shit, how dare you trick me..."

When Liu Ji heard this, he became furious and almost smashed the tea cup on Cao Shen's head.

Isn’t this asking me to die?

However, before he finished his words, he saw that the young guard behind Cao Shen had touched his hand to the hilt of the sword at his waist. The conversation suddenly changed, he laughed and stepped forward to hug Cao Shen's arm.

"You bitch, how dare you cheat your brother me - why are you calling me now! Missing me, Liu Ji, I have long admired His Highness the Emperor's Grandson. I think about it day and night, wanting to lead the horse for His Highness. , you have done the hard work of a dog and a horse, but in the end, you piece of shit, just calling me now, wouldn’t it make me one step behind Brother Xiao, and let His Highness underestimate me for nothing..."

After finishing speaking, there was another burst of laughter.

"However, fortunately, you still have some conscience, and you still remember your brother and me. I will remember this favor, brother!"

After saying that, he turned around and shouted instructions to Lu Pheasant beside him.

"Why don't you hurry up and prepare the food and drinks? Today, I want to have a good drink with Brother Cao Shen - I will get a chance and will become famous soon. Just wait at home obediently. When I follow His Highness the Emperor Changsun and make great achievements, then I’ll send someone back to pick you up and go to Xianyang to enjoy the blessings..."

As he spoke, he was thinking in his mind.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to leave a seed with Widow Cao and have a son of his own. Even if he dies on the battlefield, his incestuous relationship will not be cut off. Even if his new wife runs away with someone, it won't be a big deal.

Liu Ji was happy to see Liu Ji agree.

Gai Nie and Chen Sheng couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When they came, they had already received instructions from His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun. If Liu Ji and others made excuses to shirk, they would be hacked to death immediately.

Both of them have official status and are within the system, so it is easier to deal with them.

At noon that day, under Liu Ji's enthusiastic enticement, a group of people stayed at Liu's house to have a drink, and Liu Ji even invited several friends, including Lu Wan, as well as Dog Butcher Fan Kuai, who they had some contact with on weekdays. Keep company.

The wine was half drunk.

Chief Liu Dating, flushed with a hint of drunkenness, took Cao Shen's hand.

"Brother Cao, now that you and I have fallen into the eyes of His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun, we are about to make great achievements and have a bright future. It's a pity that these good brothers can't accompany us and enjoy the wealth and honor together. Thinking of this, I feel really guilty and uneasy in my heart—— "

Speaking of this, Chief Liu Dating patted his chest quite proudly.

"As the saying goes, if you want wealth and honor, don't forget each other. I, Liu Ji, am the most loyal person. How can I ignore my brothers? Look, this time, can we bring these good brothers with us? It can also be considered as a plan for these brothers. future……"

When Liu Ji mentioned this, everyone, including Fan Kuai, couldn't help but stop what they were doing and looked at Cao Shen eagerly.

This is to go to Xianyang to seek refuge with His Highness the Emperor Changsun!

How big a prospect is that?

Unexpectedly, Liu Ji would still be thinking about people like himself at this time!

What a loyal brother!

Feeling everyone's fiery eyes, Cao Shen pondered for a moment and nodded immediately.

"Yes! These brothers are quite brave, so we can take care of each other when we go here - don't worry, I will explain this matter to His Highness. Your Highness is very thirsty for talents, and he will not refuse if he thinks about it -"

Liu Ji was overjoyed when he heard this. He laughed and patted Cao Shen on the shoulder.

"Good brother! Just like this -"

With Cao Shen's promise, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became more enthusiastic.

However, for the first time, he was not drunk.

Including Fan Kuai and Lu Wan, Liu Bang's few friends heard that they also had a future, and they immediately went home to pack their luggage happily.

In this regard, Gai Nie and Chen Sheng did not say much.

It was obvious from their eyes that Liu Ji's friends were somewhat skilled, especially the one named Fan Kuai, who was strong and mighty, so he was probably a bit more than simple.
