Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"My lord, there are a few shopkeepers from the commercial firm outside to visit."

"Thank you behind closed doors. I won't see anyone today. Let them take all the presents back. By the way, prepare the carriage. I'm going to Xianyang Palace."

In Zhisu Neishi's residence, Zhao Shu looked sad, he was almost annoyed to death by these businessmen.

Ying Zheng didn't intend to intervene in the formation of the key business department. It was too difficult for him to review and find suitable talents one by one.

As a last resort, Zhao Shu could only seek help from Ying Zheng.

Soon, Zhao Shu's carriage arrived at Xianyang Palace, and after being passed on by the servants, he was brought before Ying Zheng.

"My minister, Zhao Shu, pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been around for ten thousand years, and Great Qin has been here for ten thousand years!"

"Excuse me, why did Zhao Qing take the initiative to come here today?"

Ying Zheng signaled Zhao Shu to sit down, and asked casually.

"Report to Your Majesty, this minister is here for the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce!"

Zhao Shu told Ying Zheng exactly what happened in his house today.

"So many businessmen offered to give gifts? It seems that I have underestimated the temptation of the Ministry of Commerce to these businessmen."

Ying Zheng took a sip of tea in a calm manner and said.

"Zhao Qing, it's not that I don't want to send someone to you. It's just that my Daqin has a shortage of personnel. After sweeping up so many aristocratic families before, there are shortages of people for many positions. There is also a Ministry of Industry here. I can’t find anyone, and besides, the Ministry of Commerce is in charge of Daqin’s business, so what’s the use of letting those scholars go?”

Yingzheng spread his hands. From last year to now, Daqin has dealt with countless officials, and Daqin's executioners are numb.

"Your Majesty, according to my ministers, it is better to simply ban the Ministry of Commerce. At worst, my ministers will work harder."

Zhao Shu also had a showdown. He would rather die from exhaustion than let these unscrupulous businessmen intervene in Daqin's basic industry.

"No, the decree of the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce has been issued, not to mention that Daqin's industry will become larger and larger in the future, and even spread to the whole country. Can you still manage it?"

"Your Majesty, I'm worried, what if one of those businessmen, who is greedy for profit, secretly seeks out my Great Qin's salt-making and paper-making skills and secretly sells them to foreign races?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned deeply.

Of course, Zhao Shu just exaggerated a bit and said that the salt making technique is the top secret of the Great Qin Dynasty, and only the most core people can master it, and it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry.

But Zhao Shu's words were not completely unreasonable. After all, businessmen were after profit. Even Zhao Che said that although business could make Daqin's economy develop, businessmen were not necessarily good people.

"It seems that what Che'er said is right, we should pay close attention to popularizing education and cultivating talents."

Ying Zheng pinched his brows, and now there is a great lack of talents of all kinds.

"How is the arrangement of the printing house and the private school going?"

Ying Zheng asked casually. These two matters have been arranged for a while, and they don't know the progress.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, eight printing factories have been built in Xianyang, but the number of people recruited is far from enough, and the establishment of private schools is still at the beginning of preparation."

"Talent, there is a shortage of talent!"

Ying Zheng scratched his head with a sad look on his face.

"By the way, Zhao Qing, didn't Che'er teach you before? Didn't he just teach you at that time?"

Suddenly, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he asked Zhao Shu quickly.

"This... I don't know, the young master only taught the servants a few days at that time, and then let the servants go back and think about it by themselves."

"How many days have you been teaching?"
