Qin asked

In ancient China, merchants were a very awkward group.

Since the reform of Shangyang in the Qin Dynasty, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce have been throughout the entire ancient times, not only because the emperors of the past dynasties looked down on the value of merchants, but also because merchants themselves were a great threat to the country.

Lu Buwei is an example, but he chose to engage in politics through business, Yingzheng can foresee his threat, but more businessmen develop freely within their sphere of influence, and the money they earn is fundamental to Yingzheng. Don't know where they spent it...

In the final analysis, it was because of productivity. The ancient times, which were backward in all aspects, were unable to monitor the market.

Wealthy country is not just an adjective. These big businessmen themselves are local tycoons, and they may have business cooperation with each other... From a certain point of view, the emperors of the past dynasties suppressed businessmen, and what they suppressed was their business. Local tyrants where dominance is threatened.

Who makes business the industry with the fastest money coming in...

Ying Zheng is already broken, and now his main goal is to unify the world, and it is not time to deal with these people, otherwise Qin will face civil strife first, so he still focuses on appeasement.

It is a good sign that Widow Baba is willing to come to Xianyang, and it is even a surprise for Ying Zheng, after all.The other party contributed all the family's refining technology.

Of course, the benefits will be given, and the rewards will also be greatly rewarded, but once they come, don’t even think about running away.

Mo Dou was struggling there, but Ying Zheng was in a good mood, and he was already thinking about how to use this big banner.

"Your Majesty, Li Si and Han Fei are asking to see you."

The servant came in, temporarily interrupting their train of thought. Seeing this, Mo Dou stood up and retreated.

Although he no longer has to hide anything, he still has to avoid suspicion in front of the minister...

Ying Zheng nodded, looked at Mo Dou's bitter and bitter face, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about Dou, there are so many."

Yes, your trick is to simply and rudely get someone to move them over.

Mo Dou sighed, and decided to go back and think about the problem of explosives.

……

When Mo Dou returned to the workshop, Umbrella and Qing were still working on it. So far, they have indeed proved that there is a certain relationship between the sealing of the space and the degree of explosion. Now they are sending out extended questions in weird directions: For example, what happens if you add some alcohol to it?

So Mo Dou watched helplessly as the incendiary bomb came out...

Qingyuan saw Mo Dou's eyes shining, pulled Mo Dou over, and asked: "You're here, tell me quickly, what other medicine can be added here?"

Mo Dou twitched the corners of his mouth, he was a little speechless, forgive him, he hasn't recovered from Qing's dangerous person setup of "holding the military power in his hand, being rich beyond compare to the country"...

Seeing that Mo Dou didn't speak, Qing pouted: "Forget it, why bother talking to you, I should try one by one."

Standing aside, Shan silently passed the material in Qing's hand, successfully bringing the other's attention back to the gun.

Mo Dou looked at Qing's busy and cheerful figure, and asked Shan with some puzzlement: "What's wrong with her?"

Obviously, she was still a lady businessman before...

Shan said seriously: "Master, you met Mrs. Qing before, and this is what Ah Qing really looks like."

Love refining medicine, obsessed with refining medicine, proud and serious, this is Qing in Shan's eyes, and it is also Qing that Shan likes.

Mo Dou: Did the ancients know how to play like this?Will be schizophrenic!

But Mrs. Qing is just a mask of Qing, not yet at the stage of personality. When Mo Dou tentatively asked her why she didn't rush to increase her power to earn profits, Qing gave him a strange look, and said quite calmly. Answer: "That's for the benefit of the family, what does it have to do with me?"

She just wanted to find an opportunity to refine medicine in an open and honest manner. The interests of the family were a good excuse, and those who opposed her to apply for a patent for the family technology stopped because of this.

Mo Dou: Then, the chance you randomly found gave me a big problem...

However, Mo Dou's difficulty is incomprehensible to both Qing and Shan. They are now full of satisfaction. At the moment when Mo Dou was in a daze, they frantically put all the objects they could get into it. among...

There was a loud bang, different from the original orange-yellow color, but this time red flames burst out from the mouth, clusters of sparks sprinkled on the soil-black pottery like fire elves, and then quickly disappeared from people's sight.

Qing excitedly asked the umbrella: "What did you just give me?"

Shan looked at the booklet in his hand, and drew a heavy circle somewhere on it: "The one for you is gold powder."

As the so-called "seven greens, eight yellows, nine purples and ten reds", when real gold is refined by fire, the flame will turn red, which is actually the most basic flame reaction.

And it just so happens that fireworks also use the flame reaction...

Compared with the two excited and amazed people on the side, Mo Dou who knew the truth was mad in his heart: making fireworks with gold... Thanks to you guys for doing it!

This insane act lasted all day.

After confirming that the red flames would appear after adding gold powder, Qinghesan also added silver powder, copper powder, and iron powder one after another...

They are like fanatical scientists, full of crazy desire to explore the unknown field, and pay everything for it: time, money, even life...

And this is exactly what Mo Dou expected to see. He temporarily let go of his vigilance towards Qing, and watched this lively scene with appreciation, especially one of them was his apprentice. A sense of pride slowly faded away. The bottom of my heart rose, and then he was successfully rejected.

After all, he was standing beside him like a big living person, he didn't say anything, he didn't do anything to help, he just stared at people with a weird look, even if it didn't bother him, it was still very annoying.

"If you can't help, Mr. Mo can go about his own business."

To put it mildly, but the meaning of chasing guests is obvious.

Mo Dou was not angry either, he thought for a while and said, "So I'll leave first, but the first two..."

Whether it is a pottery-style gun or an ancient board gun, they are all of great combat value.

"It's all for you, and I don't need it," Qing waved his hands impatiently, then paused, and added, "Except for the ones that are suitable for opening acupuncture points."

After all, she also wants to explain to the family...

Mo Dou smiled, knowing that although the other party had no intention of rebelling, the position was still different, so he neither agreed nor opposed, but said very slickly: "I will tell the king."

Qing pouted and said nothing, but continued to bury his head in the bed. Although it was getting late, it was more suitable for observing the flames, but it was estimated that the people in the workshop would not be able to sleep well...

Mo Dou thought for a while, and stopped by the kitchen, intending to order someone to prepare some supper, such as noodles... noodles... flour?

Mo Dou looked at the flour in the kitchen, suddenly blessed, wait, he remembered that there was an accident called a dust explosion...

Mo Dou, with bright eyes, stared at the flour, as if he saw some treasure, as if he was about to pick up the flour bag and run away in the next second, which made the cook beside him very embarrassed: Could it be that he was starving and stupid...
