Chapter 90 Luban Lock
The cook quickly brought the chicken soup.
Zhao Lang brought the most abundant bowl to Qin Shihuang and said enthusiastically,
"Come on, dad, try this chicken soup. It has been stewed all morning. It's very nourishing."
"You see, everyone has lost weight since you went out."
Qin Shihuang looked at the chicken soup in front of him with extremely complicated emotions.
Drink it, a bowl of chicken soup worth 20,000 taels of gold is really hard to drink.
Don't drink it, the 20,000 taels of gold have already been given away. If you don't drink it, you will suffer even more.
In the end, Qin Shihuang drank the bowl of chicken soup with tears in his heart.
"Dad, does it taste good?"
Zhao Lang saw Qin Shihuang finish drinking and asked with concern.
This is a big sponsor, and customer care must be in place.
“Delicious.”
The two thousand taels of gold, even if they are exchanged for water, must still taste good.
Zhao Lang smiled and said,
"Then have another bowl?"
Qin Shihuang quickly put the bowl aside and said angrily,
"No need, dad doesn't have 20,000 taels."
In such a short period of time, Qin Shihuang had already taken out 70,000 taels of gold!
No one can stand it.
Zhao Lang had already brought a bowl of chicken soup over and said with a smile.
"Dad, how can a bowl of chicken soup be worth twenty thousand taels of gold?"
"Of course I can't hide this little trick from you, dad. It's just that you feel sorry for me and don't expose it."
After hearing this, Qin Shihuang felt a little more comfortable and said with a bit of arrogance,
"Huh, that's natural."
He felt that what Lang'er said was very reasonable. If he hadn't cared about Zhao Lang, how could he have fallen for this little verbal trap?
Qin Shihuang took a sip of the new chicken soup and found it tasted much more delicious.
Zhao Gao, who was watching the scene in front of him, sighed in his heart,
"Young Master Lang is so talented! Even the flattery is better than mine!"
If Zhao Lang just cheated Qin Shihuang out of money.
Although Zhao Gao thought Zhao Lang was smart and intelligent, he looked down upon him in his heart.
Who was Qin Shihuang?
It's good that he is Zhao Lang's father, but he is even more of an emperor!
A creature like the emperor cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes.
Cheating and playing tricks are taboos for every emperor!
But Zhao Lang's subsequent actions made it clear!
What's this?
This is a conspiracy!
The other princes are still thinking about how to compete for favor, how can they compare?
Zhao Lang then went on to say,
"Dad, don't worry, your money will definitely not be wasted."
"In a few days, I will show you something good, guaranteed to be worth more than one hundred thousand taels of gold!"
It has been about two months since the potatoes were planted, and they will be ready to be harvested in just over a month.
According to Mr. Tian, it is growing very well.
By then, with potatoes, Zhao Lang can make money on his own!
Food is now a hard currency in Da Qin!
Don’t worry about selling at all!
He kept looking for cheap daddy to get money, and he felt a little bit sorry about it.
Therefore, this time Tudou must compensate his father.
But when he heard one hundred thousand taels of gold, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but tremble.
He believed what Zhao Lang said.
Let’s talk about papermaking, printing, new plows, etc., which one is not worth a hundred thousand taels of gold?
But, he really couldn't stand it anymore.
What Zhao Lang brought out were indeed good things that benefited the country and the people, but they were a bit expensive.
Apart from him, the emperor, there are really not many people who can afford it.
Of course, as an emperor, he has absolutely no reason to give in. Speaking of,
"Well, I'll see what good stuff it is then."
As for what it was, Qin Shihuang already knew it in his mind.
Now Zhao Lang hasn't told him about the stirrups and horseshoes yet.
"Okay, dad is going back to the city today and has a lot of things to do."
Qin Shihuang said after finishing the chicken soup.
Zhao Lang was slightly startled and said,
"Dad, you just came back and you have to go out?"
"Why don't you rest for two more days before leaving? You've already lost weight."
Zhao Lang's words came from his heart. He, a cheap dad, worked too hard.
I went out for more than two months, only came back for one day, and I was about to go out.
Judging from your diligence, you deserve to be rich!
Feeling Zhao Lang's true feelings, even though Qin Shihuang's heart was as hard as iron, he couldn't help but soften.
The imperial family is the most ruthless.
He had only felt this kind of true love from his mother when he was a child.
And even his mother later...
After he took charge, there was no more.
But at this time, he felt it in Zhao Lang.
Qin Shi Huang suddenly thought,
That's all, just stay one more night.
When he stood up and was about to say something, he heard Zhao Lang half-complaining,
"Dad, are you leaving now? There is still chicken soup."
"Oh, I know I can't persuade you."
"Forget it, I'll prepare the frame for you right now."
With that said, Zhao Lang walked outside and shouted,
"Uncle Fu! Uncle Fu! Dad is going to the city, hurry up and get the car ready!"
After Zhao Lang left the yard, Zhao Gao on the side also said,
"Your Majesty, although government affairs are important, they are not urgent."
"..."
Qin Shihuang glanced at Zhao Gao and said lightly,
"It seems that you have quite a lot of time as a bookkeeper."
Zhao Gao immediately closed his mouth.
Soon, a group of carriages left Zhuangzi and headed towards Xianyang City.
After sending the cheap dad away, Zhao Lang happily started his plan.
Forty thousand taels of gold will be obtained soon, and the plan to build a new Zhuangzi must be launched as soon as possible.
First go to Uncle Fu and ask him to see if he can buy the small hill ten miles away from Zhuangzi.
"Sir, although that area is large, it is uninhabited and uneven. It is full of rocks and not worth much. You should be able to buy it."
"Can..."
Fu Bo said doubtfully.
When Zhao Lang heard this, he was overjoyed.
The important thing is that it is a large place, and it is uneven and uninhabited. Stone would be better.
Otherwise, how can we conduct experiments? Training private soldiers?
"Uncle Fu, you don't have to worry, just buy it."
Zhao Lang gave the final decision, and Uncle Fu had no choice but to comply.
After choosing the place, the next step is to recruit people. Zhao Lang is planning to set up Zhuangzi's frame within three months!
There is no shortage of ordinary people.
What’s left are skilled craftsmen.
Zhao Lang quickly thought of Wang Tiezhu and his master.
Just look at the curved shaft plows and Huang Daopo textile looms made by these two people, both of which are of extremely good quality!
They must also know other craftsmen.
In this way, Zhao Lang doesn't have to look for it by himself like a headless fly.
At this time, in the courtyard.
Juzi and Wang Tiezhu were sitting together and resting.
In front of them were some square, compact wooden blocks.
Juzi smiled and said,
"These days, I have also seen your talent, so I will give you a chance to enter the inner sect."
Wang Tiezhu said solemnly,
“Thank you Juzi!“
Juzi pointed to the small piece of wood in front of him and said,
Chapter completed!
