Qin asked

After Ying Zheng agreed to let him have a try, Mo Dou was not in a hurry to find out directly, but took the ledger again and didn't know what he was counting. Ying Zheng was not serious about this matter at all, and he was not in a hurry While urging Mo Dou, he turned his attention back to government affairs, and then he discovered that Yao Jia hadn't left Xianyang yet...

Ying Zheng confirmed again and again that after confirming that he had fulfilled all the conditions in the edict to Yao Jia, he asked Li Si to be called over with a cold face—the man was recommended by Li Si, so of course he should be responsible.

Seeing this, Mo Dou consciously wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by Ying Zheng: "It's okay, Li Si is one of our own."

That being the case, Mo Dou saved himself the trouble and stayed by Ying Zheng's side to do his own business with peace of mind.

Li Si still came very quickly, and answered Yingzheng's questions very quickly: "It is not easy to separate the four countries. I heard that Baidu Workshop has made new gadgets. If it is used here, it will definitely be used here." It’s twice the result with half the effort, so Yao Jia has been made to wait for a while.”

Ying Zheng understood, he thought for a while, handed the mercury mirror on the other side of the case to Li Si, and scolded with a smile: "You are well informed, this mirror was only made a few days ago, and you have to ask for it...you first take this Give the silver mirror to Yao Jia, and I will supply it to him in the future."

In fact, Ying Zheng was a bit reluctant to take away the mercury mirror. It was the first time he had seen such a bright mirror, and it was about to be taken away before it was warmed up in his hand. However, Ying Zheng would not be so stingy, let alone Saying that this thing can still be made, the fact that it is poisonous alone is enough to make Ying Zheng give up - after all, it is still made of mercury, and it will still cause more or less harm to the body.

Li Si took the mirror and couldn't hold back when he saw his face, and let out a slight exclamation: "This mirror is made by He, so it's so bright?"

"It's mercury..." Seeing Li Si's reaction, Ying Zheng hesitated, "Li Qing doesn't know about this thing?"

Li Si looked away from the mirror: "I don't know."

He didn't dare to inquire about Ying Zheng anymore...

Ying Zheng paused: "Then what is the novelty you mentioned at the beginning?"

Li Si put away the mirror and said respectfully: "My minister refers to the fireworks. The splendor of this thing is like an extraordinary thing. If it is used to confuse it, it will have unexpected effects, so I will stay in Xianyang and wait. If the king refuses to agree, Yao Jia Set off immediately, without delay."

Ying Zheng was silent after listening. Li Si was ready to be rejected, so although he didn't panic too much, at most he felt a little regretful. After all, fireworks are at least a little more fun than mirrors.

After a short silence, Ying Zheng asked a little strangely: "You mean fireworks?"

Li Si felt something was wrong, he thought for a while and said, "Exactly, Mo Dou also knows about it, and has no objection."

Ying Zheng looked at Mo Dou, waiting patiently for the other party's explanation. Mo Dou practiced his thinking, and said calmly: "I really think this is possible, that is, roll a small amount of gunpowder on a thin stick with paper, and sparks will burst out when lit. It doesn't hurt much, and it seems that no one can do it like this."

Ying Zheng stopped Mo Dou's words, and he asked, "I ask you, have you only discussed this matter with Li Qing?"

Mo Dou nodded: "I happened to meet Mr. Li before the test, so we talked about this matter."

Ying Zheng turned his gaze back to Li Si, and asked slowly, "Then Li Qing told Yao Jia about this?"

"Indeed..." Li Si felt a little uncomfortable, he asked hesitantly, "But what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Li Si's confused look made Ying Zheng angry, and he was furious, "I don't remember when the original ban was lifted!"

At the beginning, he personally ordered that, except for the insiders at the beginning, the incident of sex must be strictly guarded against, and no one should be allowed to know. No matter how harmless the fireworks are, they are still derivatives of sex. Fangfang leaked the secret, but unexpectedly, it was Li Si who opened the door and told Yao Jia about the existence of fireworks.

"I don't know that Li Qing would be so reassured that he would tell others what he should do, and even beg for Yao Jia's money so kindly!"

Li Si broke out in a cold sweat. He listened to Ying Zheng's reprimand without saying a word. Fireworks can be used..."

Ying Zheng frowned and said, "The widow is not scolding how to use fireworks, but that he told others without permission. What's the matter with Dou?"

Mo Dou wisely shifted the focus: "Then Yao Jia already knew about this, so is the firework still usable?"

Being interrupted by Mo Dou, Ying Zheng's anger gradually subsided. He calmed down and softened his tone slightly: "Forget it, since Yao Jia has been told, let's use it..."

Li Sishunpo admitted his mistake: "It's the fault of the humble minister, and the king punished him for it."

Hearing the voice seemed to be convinced, Ying Zheng was slightly relieved, Li Si was indeed talented, and he used it quite easily, so he always used Li Si to attack the old forces to implement the new system, and the other party was no longer cautious in dealing with things. , but gradually became the behavior style of the superior, it is time for someone to suppress him...

Ying Zheng thought for a while, and said, "It is estimated that Li Qing is negligent because of too much work. In the future, Li Qing will not need to worry about so many things. I will just ask someone to help you."

Li Si's heart sank, but in the end he didn't say anything, and went silently holding the mirror.

Ying Zheng shook his head. His words touched Li Si's bottom line just now. The other party seemed unwilling to give up his right to speak in the court, but the more Li Si was like this, the more Ying Zheng wanted to stop him. This was simply a vicious circle.

Ying Zheng thought for a while, then turned his head and asked Mo Dou, "I still think Li Si is too hard on his own, does Dou have anyone to recommend?"

In fact, he just wanted to find someone to check and balance Li Si.

While doing the calculation, Mo Dou casually said, "Han Fei?"

Ying Zheng smiled, and he shook his head in denial: "I like Han Fei, so I also understand that he is not suitable for working in the court."

"Then I won't remember it for a while..." Mo Dou went through the famous people he knew, and said uncertainly, "Gan Luo?"

Ying Zheng is good at knocking on the table. He said that the other party has been working hard for Qin's accounts. He also recommended a lot of officials who are good at numbers. Unfortunately, the court has always respected politicians like Li Si, Gan Luo His status has been unable to be raised, and now it seems that it is indeed time to change.

Ying Zheng had a resolution in his mind, and he asked, "Do you want to go to Qianjin Pavilion with me? And apply for a patent for that crutch along the way?"

Mo Dou calculated the last number, put away the ledger and draft paper in his hand, and said happily, "Okay."

……

Qin State, Qianjin Pavilion.

Gan Luo's recent life is relatively healthy. Although he is said to be an editor and an accountant, he has also cultivated a lot of people through years of accumulation. Integrate into one system and work as usual without him.

And now, after Gan Luo finished teaching Fusu, he finally had time to receive the guests who came to Qianjin Pavilion.

For example: Wushi Luo.

Like Mrs. Qing, Wu Shiluo is engaged in animal husbandry and can be regarded as a local tycoon. This person is simply a representative of a profiteer.

According to historical records, what Wuzhiluo is best at is exchanging cattle and sheep for rare treasures and presenting them to King Rong, who rewards him with cattle and sheep at ten times the price. He became a well-known wealthy businessman in the country at that time by "using grain to measure cattle and horses", so that after hearing the news, Qin Shihuang gave him the same treatment as "king a king", and he could make a pilgrimage to the emperor with his courtiers.Note 1

The other party came all the way after hearing about Ying Zheng's reward to Mrs. Qing. He is a bit like Lu Buwei. After accumulating enough wealth, he wants to start seeking a breakthrough in political status. No matter how reluctant, I still have to "strengthen the sick body" to come out to receive him.

The Qianjin Pavilion can be said to be a representative of Xianyang, so Mrs. Qing brought him directly, but her attitude was really bad. They drove people out of Xianyang directly.

However, Wu Shiluo felt that Mrs. Qing wanted to hide her benefits and wanted to eat alone, so she kept on holding on. As the manager of Qianjin Pavilion, Gan Luo had no choice but to come out to receive the rich father. Fortunately, although the other party was not interested in books. However, he is very interested in various patents, which makes Gan Luo heave a sigh of relief.

Then Gan Luo found out that he was too happy too early, and bargaining with Wu Shiluo was simply an epic difficulty-the Qianjin Pavilion only accepts money, not cattle and sheep!Even if you are at a disadvantage and add a few hundred more to me, I have no place to put them!
