Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"Since you all agree with my proposal, why don't we announce the news as soon as possible!"

Chu Qiu sneered.

Is he that kind of kind person?Do you really think that the profits he gave to Daqin are for nothing?

It is said that it is to win the favor of Ying Zheng, but in fact it secretly puts Daqin in front and uses it as a shield.

They have raised the price of grain so high this time, which is bound to cause dissatisfaction among many Guizhou leaders.

Maybe this year they can make the same profits as the past ten years, but next year's business will not be easy.

This time they offended so many heads of Guizhou and caused their resentment. It will definitely be very difficult for them to buy grain next year.

However, Chu Qiu didn't say this in person.

Walls have ears, if this word reached Ying Zheng's ears, it would be tantamount to treason.

With Yingzheng's iron-blooded means, a mere Chu hatred would naturally be unbearable.

Soon, the plans of many grain merchants were finalized.

After the crowd dispersed, they followed Chu Qiu's idea and lowered the price of food by half.

It's just that the current price of grain is far beyond what the average head of Guizhou can afford, even if it is reduced by half, it will be useless at all.

And at this time, the grain merchants announced another news that half of the profits from the sale of grain this time would be donated to Daqin.

As soon as the news came out, the entire city of Xianyang was in an uproar.

……

"Your Majesty, Daqin's grain price has been reduced by half today, and those merchants even said they would give half of it to Daqin!"

At this time, in Xianyang Palace, Zhao Shu was reporting today's news to Ying Zheng.

"Hmph, do these profiteers really think they can buy you off with half of the profit?"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said something very disdainful.

"These merchants may also be worried that His Majesty will be angry, so they will give up part of the profits to win His Majesty's favor!"

Zhao Shu couldn't figure out what those businessmen were thinking, so he could only respond casually.

"It's too late to win the favor of the widow now. When Meng Qing transports the potatoes back, they will naturally know the consequences of offending the widow."

Ying Zheng was not moved by the half profit.

After taking out the potatoes this time, the profit he can get is more than ten times the half of it. How can he go against his own mind just because of this small amount of money?
"How is the preparation for the opening of Daqin Grain Bank?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the food bank has been prepared. Although the time is a bit tight and some of the food bank's construction is relatively simple, it can barely be used for the time being!"

"It's enough if it can be used. Anyway, we can't sell food all the time. That's the business of those merchants. I just take this opportunity to use it once!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said something indifferently.

"Here, Your Majesty is merciful!"

Zhao Shu cupped his hands and said something.

"What's going on with Cher right now?"

Ying Zheng asked casually.

"My son is still busy opening his own grocery store these days, and it will probably open in two days at the latest!"

"This brat happens to be fine today, Zhao Qing will accompany the widow to Jingshui later, and tell him the good news by the way!"

"Here!"

……

Not long after, Zhao Shu and Ying Zheng left Xianyang City in a carriage, and rushed towards Zhao Che.

The two had just arrived when they saw Zhao Che looking very happy.

"Che'er, what makes you so happy?"

Seeing Zhao Che's appearance, Ying Zheng asked aloud.

"Hahaha, of course it's about the food, dad, you don't know, I'm so happy!"

"Oh? The matter of food? You mean those stupid merchants?"

Ying Zheng said something calmly, it seems that Zhao Che has heard some rumors.

"No, I'm laughing at Qin Shihuang!"

"Huh? Widow... What happened to Qin Shihuang?"

Ying Zheng looked confused, didn't he follow Zhao Che's idea?Is there any problem in this?
"Dad, you don't know, those merchants gave Qin Shihuang half of the profit, and he just accepted it!"

"Is... is there something wrong with this?"

Yingzheng was puzzled. The half of the profit was obviously used by the businessmen to curry favor with him.

Although Ying Zheng looked down upon him, who wouldn't want the free money?

"Isn't it right? You can't say it's wrong, it's just stupid!"

"presumptuous!"

When Ying Zheng heard that Zhao Che scolded him in front of him again, he immediately reprimanded him very angrily.

"Father, why are you so excited? I'm talking about Qin Shihuang, not you. Moreover, this matter is not a bad thing for us!"

Zhao Che rolled a blank look at Ying Zheng, then squeezed his chin and said something.

"Che'er, what do you mean, Qin Shihuang can't accept half of the profit?"

Ying Zheng also knew that he was a little impulsive just now, so he calmed down a little before asking.

"Of course I can't accept it. After all, Qin Shihuang is not a material for business, so naturally I can't see the mystery behind it!"

"Mystery? What mystery?"

Ying Zheng didn't think about it at the time, and just accepted it casually, but judging from what Zhao Che said, this matter was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

"Forget it, it seems that Dad, you are not a business material!"

Zhao Che shook his head, then asked Ying Zheng and Zhao Shu to sit down, and then explained to them.

"Actually speaking, this matter is just a matter of fascination for the authorities, and it's all for the bystanders. If Ying Zheng can think about it a little bit, he may find something wrong, but he is obviously blinded by these interests, so he believes those businessmen."

"You mean, these profits are not sincerely offered by those businessmen?"

Ying Zheng gritted his teeth, Zhao Che said so, how can he not understand that those businessmen are plotting against him?

"sincerity?"

Zhao Che sneered.

"Businessmen are eager to make as much money as possible. How can they sincerely share the profits with others?"
