Chapter 164 Zhao Che’s recent plan After hearing the inhumane words of the young master Hu Hai,
Yi Xiaochuan's back felt cold involuntarily.
I just shudder.
Young Master Hu Hai, nicknamed "The Little Demon King", would often torture these humble official slaves in various ways.
"Young master,"
Yi Xiaochuan had no other choice but to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy with tears.
"Come here, pull Yi Xiaochuan down and make him do hard work day and night for three consecutive days. He will not be given food for three days. With you as an example, let's see who in the house dares to disobey the rules."
Young Master Hu Hai said coldly.
Originally, he was furious and planned to have Yi Xiaochuan break his arms and legs. However, two days ago, didn't Meng Tian and the others ask them to take Yi Xiaochuan with them when they went to the wedding banquet? ?
If Yi Xiaochuan is too embarrassed by then, it will not be good for his reputation as a prince.
Yi Xiaochuan: "."
In fact, after hearing this decision, Yi Xiaochuan's legs felt a little weak.
Although it seems like nothing.
But I had to work hard in the house for three days, day and night, without food. It is also an inhuman torture.
At noon this day,
The first emperor, Ying Zheng, dressed in ordinary clothes, called Wang Jian, who was relatively free, and his son Hu Hai, who was playing in the palace all day. We all disguised ourselves and went to Zhao Che's house.
All three of them were walking on the road.
As for Zhang Han and the Shadow Secret Guards, they were protecting them from the outside.
At the same time, Zhao Che’s Mansion,
In the courtyard.
Zhao Che walked back and forth on the path,
Now he had papermaking, printing, and paper.
In other words, paper factories and shops selling paper will also open directly in the near future.
It is estimated that the First Emperor Ying Zheng will also implement the imperial examination system to select talents in the near future.
in fact,
These days, he has been secretly tinkering with fine salt.
In today's Great Qin, even the most powerful First Emperor Ying Zheng only eats coarse salt.
Ordinary people, it is very good to have salt in the rice they cook, and some even cannot eat salt.
After trying for a period of time, he was able to skillfully purify coarse salt directly into fine salt.
He is a time traveler, and his scores in mathematics, physics and chemistry before time travel were always close to perfect scores.
Therefore, purifying coarse salt is actually not a difficult matter for him at all.
He took out a basin of the purified fine salt and placed it on the stone table in front of him, preparing to hand the fine salt to Gao Yao later. With fine salt, his restaurant's business will reach a higher level.
In his house, with fine salt, he can eat more delicious food.
While he was thinking about it, The palace official came forward to report that the coachman brother and his two companions, who were friends with him, came to the palace as guests.
He asked the governor to invite the people in.
It seems that he hasn't seen the coachman brother with whom he is very close for a few days.
He still wanted to have a drink with the coachman brother and reminisce about old times.
While he was thinking this way, As soon as he looked up, he saw "Brother Coachman" in black clothes walking towards him with an old man and a young child.
He stood up, He took a few steps forward, looked at the First Emperor Ying Zheng, bowed his hands and said, "Brother Coachman, long time no see, please take a seat."
"Ah."
Therefore, the First Emperor Ying Zheng sat down directly without being polite.
The young master Hu Hai behind him looked at Zhao Che, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It seems to be lunch time now. I wonder if Mr. Zhao has had lunch?"
Every time he entered Zhao Che's house, his greed would be aroused and he could not help but swallow his saliva.
Because, as a prince, the most delicious food he had ever eaten in his life was at Zhao Che's house.
The voice fell,
The first emperor Ying Zheng gave the young master Hu Hai a look. This incompetent guy was really embarrassing to Jian remained silent and didn't say anything.
He just felt a little regretful that he could not successfully match his granddaughter Lan'er with Zhao Che.
At this time, the First Emperor Ying Zheng took the words and said: "Sir, you don't have to listen to his nonsense, and you don't know what his recent plans are?"
"I'm going to open a paper-making factory and open a few shops to sell paper." Zhao Che said his plan.
He had no intention of handing over papermaking and printing directly. After hearing Zhao Che's plan, the First Emperor Ying Zheng was extremely in agreement and nodded repeatedly.
In normal times, writing on bamboo slips also requires a high cost, including the cost of the bamboo slips themselves, as well as the cost of transportation and labor.
After Zhao Che opens a paper factory, the paper that officials need can be purchased directly in the store. If the demand is large, it can be ordered directly in the factory.
Using paper instead of bamboo slips is actually conducive to the spread of culture and knowledge. There are not many scholars in Da Qin, and not many people are literate.
"Sir, if you need any help from me in your paper factory and shop, just ask."
"By the way, I will reserve [-] pieces of paper for you on behalf of my master."
The First Emperor Ying Zheng patted his chest and said.
"Okay, no problem."
Zhao Che nodded and agreed.
The young master Hu Hai heard them chatting about business and began to yawn sleepily.
As for Wang Jian, after hearing Zhao Che's plan, he was extremely interested, his eyes were shining brightly, and he was extremely excited! That is to say-
In this way, he would have channels to buy paper.
It's simply a great thing.
To be honest, since he saw paper, he has completely fallen in love with writing on paper and never wants to use the heavy and inconvenient bamboo slips again.
It's time for lunch.
"You guys wait here, lunch will be here soon."
Zhao Che looked at them and took care of them.
"color."
The First Emperor Ying Zheng was extremely satisfied.
He stood up, stretched, and looked around.
He found a basin on the stone table with some white things in it.
Looking from a distance, it looks white and flawless, It looks like snow in winter.
However, it is obviously September, so it will definitely not be snow.
He took a closer look, but still couldn't see what was going on.
The grains are clear, without any impurities.
Not a drop of dust was stained.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian,
Wang Jian understood his question, took a closer look, and shook his head, meaning that he didn't recognize the object either. At this time, Young Master Hu Hai also came over, stepped forward, and looked at him curiously. There seemed to be countless question marks on his face. Obviously, he didn't see the truth.
then,
In order to answer the doubts in his heart, Emperor Yingzheng had no choice but to consult Zhao Che.
He came to Zhao Che and asked modestly, "Sir, what is that thing on the table that looks like snow?"
"Brother Coachman, that's salt."
Hearing this, Zhao Che answered his doubts extremely calmly.
The voice fell.
The first emperor Ying Zheng, Wang Jian, and the young master Hu Hai were all stunned.
I saw Ying Zheng's dark face full of disbelief and disbelief.
This turned out to be salt? He had never seen salt like this.
The salt he usually eats is basically lump salt, and the salt is also mixed with various impurities and tastes very bad.
