Chapter 166 It’s just the words of the three gongs and nine ministers, which wronged him
Young Master Hu Hai pouted, Seeing the highly valued Zhao Che, strong feelings of jealousy filled his internal organs and entire body.
After lunch time, Many delicious meals were served on the table.
Ying Zheng and Wang Jian had a hearty meal and left Zhao Che's house very satisfied.
When leaving, Ying Zheng also asked Zhao Che for a little salt and planned to take it back.
on the way back.
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian on the side and said, "What do you think about the fine salt matter?"
"The fine salt he invented has benefited everyone in the world, and his contribution will last forever. For such achievements, even if he is awarded the official position of Sangong and Jiuqing, it is not too much."
Wang Jian touched his beard and slowly explained his thoughts.
"Well, that makes sense, but the words of the three ministers and nine ministers seem to have wronged you sir."
The First Emperor Ying Zheng nodded and said.
"That's what Your Majesty said."
Wang Jian said with a look of shame.
Throughout his life, he fought in both the north and south, and made countless contributions.
However, his achievements were obviously inferior to those of Zhao Che.
Zhao Che’s salt, paper, and printing technology,
No matter which one it is, it can be called a unique achievement.
After another hour, the First Emperor Ying Zheng had returned to the palace, and Wang Jian also returned to his mansion.
Young Master Hu Hai was wandering on the street.
He felt a little angry inside.
Unknowingly, We walked to an alley near the residence of Prime Minister Zuo Li Si.
The person standing in front of him was Li Si.
"Hu Hai, what's new at Zhao Che's place today?"
Li Si turned his back to Hu Hai and asked directly.
"Zhao Che actually has fine salt. It is an extremely fine salt. It is as white as snow and has no impurities. It tastes very good. To be honest, after tasting fine salt, I never want to eat it again. That’s coarse salt.”
Therefore, the young master Hu Hai praised the fine salt sincerely.
"Fine salt that is as white as snow and without any impurities? How is that possible? Are you kidding me? You must know that what your Majesty eats now is all lumpy coarse salt."
After hearing what the young master Hu Hai said, Li Si thought it was an exaggeration at first and asked in disbelief.
Li Si had never seen salt like what Hu Hai described.
"No, Prime Minister Li, everything I said is true. If you don't believe it, you can ask your father or Wang Jian."
Young Master Hu Hai answered truthfully.
Li Si: "."
When he heard this, Li Si fell silent.
It seems that what Hu Hai said is true.
There really is salt in the world that is as white as snow and has no impurities.
This salt is still made by Zhao Che.
It was invented by Zhao Che.
"hiss"
After thinking of this, Li Si took a breath of air.
There was also a look of horror and shock in his eyes.
Invented fine salt, plus the previous paper, and plague medicine, plus saved His Majesty's life,
He seemed to see the power and wealth rushing towards Zhao Che.
Slowly, Li Si came back to his senses and thought about how to deal with it. Soon he had an idea,
Li Si turned around, looked at Young Master Hu Hai, and said, "Young Master, I have a task for you."
"What's the mission, Prime Minister Li?" Hearing this, Young Master Hu Hai was extremely curious for a moment.
"It's like this. You try to become Zhao Che's disciple. After you become his student, he won't be wary of you, and you can take the opportunity to find out what he's up to and what he's doing."
Li Si ordered.
After hearing that Zhao Che invented fine salt today,
He was shocked and felt a strong sense of threat.
Therefore, I want to send Hu Hai as an undercover agent.
Young Master Hu Hai: "." After hearing about the task of becoming Zhao Che's student, Hu Hai felt an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart.
As the prince of Da Qin, he has a distinguished status. There are only two people in this world. The first person is his father, the First Emperor Ying Zheng, and the second person is Zhao Che. "No, no, no, Prime Minister Li, I don't want him as my teacher."
Young Master Hu Hai shook his head repeatedly and refused.
"Sir, if that's the case, you don't have to come to me again from now on."
Li Si threatened.
"In that case, I agree."
Young Master Hu Hai had no choice but to agree.
Currently, among the powerful officials in the court, only Li Si is on his side.
Therefore, he cannot be offended at all.
"Ah."
Li Si nodded.
In Zhao Che’s house,
study.
Han Xin walked in and said: "Sir, everything needed by the paper mill has been prepared. It will probably start normal operation tomorrow."
"Well, let's buy two more stores, one in the East Market and one in the West Market. The store in the East Market mainly sells expensive but good-quality paper, and the store in the West Market mainly sells cheaper but lower-quality paper."
Zhao Che gave another instruction.
The people living in the West Market are poor people.
In addition, currently, there is no war, and Han Xin will temporarily handle these matters for him.
"Sir, I understand."
"Then I'm off to work."
Han Xin was a smart man and quickly understood Zhao Che's intentions.
After Han Xin left,
Zhao Che took out a piece of paper and started writing a letter.
He was going to write a letter to Xiao He in Peixian County, asking Xiao He to resign from his official position in Peixian County and come to Xianyang to work for him.
Nowadays, he has more and more properties in Xianyang, and more and more talents need to work for him.
Soon, after writing the letter, he sent someone to deliver it to Xiao in Peixian County.
About evening, the young master Hu Hai wandered back to his house.
After a busy day and feeling very frustrated, he was going to find Yi Xiaochuan to have some fun.
After he found Yi Xiaochuan, He found that Yi Xiaochuan was indeed doing hard work in an extremely embarrassing manner, and he still looked extremely hungry.
Looks like I've lost some weight.
"Yi Xiaochuan, don't you always boast that you are well-informed? Do you know fine salt?"
Young Master Hu Hai asked.
"More than that, I've been eating fine salt for more than [-] years."
"The fine salt you are talking about is extremely fine, all in the form of granules as white as snow with no impurities,"
After hearing this topic, Yi Xiaochuan quickly became interested.
Why did Hu Hai suddenly mention "fine salt"? He clearly remembered that in history, there was no fine salt in Great Qin.
"You're right about the appearance of fine salt."
"But when you say you've been eating for more than 20 years, isn't that just bragging?"
Young Master Hu Hai was a little surprised.
Yi Xiaochuan could actually tell what fine salt looked like.
"I saw a kind of fine salt at Zhao Che's house today. Since you said you have eaten it for more than [-] years, help me get some."
Young Master Hu Hai gave this extremely difficult task to Yi Xiaochuan.
Yi Xiaochuan: "."
Yi Xiaochuan didn't say anything, but just froze on the spot.
It seems that fine salt is another masterpiece of Zhao Che.
Did Zhao Che purify the fine salt himself?
I still carry it with me when traveling through time.
For this question, he didn't know.
