Daqin: Robbing Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 117
After Ying Qi finished speaking, he left the county government office, which made He Shen a little confused.

"I haven't said the source of the money yet, why did you leave..."

He looked at the money on the ground and felt a little troubled. He couldn't help it. The money was really from wrong sources, and He Shen didn't know whether he should take it or not.

Since Heshen took office, he established his reputation by chasing accounts. Many gentry in Xianyang have heard about this incident. Many people are not sure what Heshen thinks, so they can only continue to wait and see.

Because they are not sure, He Shen has offended so many families, how long this boss can last, they don't know, what if he resigns the next day?

But I didn't expect it. The next day, before He Shen resigned, it was reported that His Majesty had invented papermaking and printing, and was preparing to demonstrate it at the court meeting once every few days. His son, Qi, seemed to have contributed a lot...

In this way, some discerning wealthy businessmen will know what to do, express their goodwill to Young Master Qi by pleasing He Shen, and at most lose some money, why not do it?
So, this smart wealthy businessman presented his own 'souvenir'.

"Why don't you send it back." He Shen hesitated looking at the box of money, and then called for guards.

"You send the money back to Jia Wu's mansion. As for the reason...it's because I'm not used to the local customs, and I like the lotus in Chu."

"Then Jia Wu is also from a wealthy family, so the sentiment should be very elegant."

He Shen nodded self-righteously. The meaning of this lotus is to be clean, that is, not to be stained by worldly dirt.

The guard nodded in agreement, and then went out with the box.

He Shen looked at the back of the guard going away, showing a confident smile.

"Heh, you want to use some worldly things to mess with my Dao heart? I don't know that this kind of money is not as good as a compliment from the young master in my opinion."

He Shen thought of Ying Qi's determination and trust when he left just now, and couldn't help feeling hot in his heart.

"The mighty cannot be subdued, the rich cannot be prostituted, and the poor cannot be moved... Mencius said that he was talking about the son, so why didn't he talk about me?"

Thinking about it, He Shen continued to deal with official business with a satisfied smile. The recent section of the "Commercial Street" can be regarded as the beginning of public preparations, and it has begun to attract merchants to settle in.

Because the cement paving process is very smooth, the wealthy businessmen from the surrounding towns and villages will not begrudge the cost spent on the road. Come to Xianyang City, the imperial capital, to learn Buddhist scriptures, and then bring it back to make a difference at a high price, which is enough for him to make a lot of money. .

But things are not as simple as talking about them, there are many problems, and He Shen has been dealing with these matters day and night for several days in a row.

That night, He Shen handled his official business as usual, rubbed his swollen head, looked out the window at the darkening sky, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Fortunately, He Shen did not disgrace his life, and did not disappoint the trust of the young master..."

"My lord, Jia Wu asks to see you outside."

"Jia Wu?" He Shen frowned, "Forget it, let him in."

"promise."

Immediately, a thin-looking middle-aged man walked in, which was contrary to his name, after all, he must have nothing to do with Kong Wuli.

"I heard that Mr. He doesn't like local specialties, but likes wild lotus. The villain specially asked friends in Chudi to bring some wild lotus."

He Shen looked at the boxes behind Jia Wu with surprise, and there was a burst of fragrance from them.

"In this season, it's not easy to get the lotus. Mr. Jia has a heart." He Shen's eyes were a little dignified, and he didn't expect that someone would take what he said casually to heart.

"Haha, as long as you like it with your lord, it's fine, lord, why don't you open it now?"

He Shen looked at Jia Wu and showed a smile, "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, I accept your heart, and I will plant the lotus in the yard later."

Jia Wu's complexion changed, "Okay, I hope to satisfy Mr. and Mrs. By the way, this villain wants to arrange an inn and restaurant next to Xuanwu Street..."

"Write a document and upload it, and I will deal with it in a few days."

As soon as he heard the official business, He Shen's face became slightly serious again, and he sat up straight.

"Okay, the villain will leave first."

Before leaving, Jia Wu gave He Shen a look of 'you understand', and then backed out.

He Shen looked at Jia Wuyuan's back and nodded, "I didn't expect the local merchants in Xianyang to be so open-minded. This is what a gentleman should look like."

"This season, I got Jianhe...uh."

As soon as He Shen walked over, he was stunned. He saw that there were only a few lotuses on the top of the boxes, and the bottom was full of gold...

"Ah this..."

"Come here! Take this box of gold back to Jia Wu and tell him that I am not that kind of person!"

He Shen's complexion was ugly, and the guards were startled when they walked in, and their voice trembled a little.

"promise."

"By the way, remember to ask for an answer in person, and come back and tell me."

"promise."

Seeing that He Shen was angry, the guard hurriedly carried the box to Jia's mansion, and came back that night.

At this time, He Shen was lying on the table and taking a nap, thinking about how to maximize the benefits in his mind.

Hearing the guard's footsteps, he forced himself to sit up.

"What did Jia Wu say?"

The guard's face was a bit strange, "Jia Wu didn't say anything, but his son had a big opinion. He said that there really can't be more, and he can buy that piece of land..."

After hearing this, He Shen's face suddenly became a little strange, and then he suddenly dropped the official document in his hand and returned to his room.

"Made, why can't you explain to this person?"

He didn't want the money, but he was still in a hurry to deliver it, so he was speechless.

He Shen held his hands behind his back, a little puzzled and dissatisfied in his eyes.

Shaking his head, let's go to sleep first.

……

"What? You said that He Shen rejected the gold and silver from merchants twice?" Ying Qi frowned and asked.

"Yes, my lord. At the first time, the merchant sent a box of money, which looked like several tens of catties, but after I asked my lord for instructions, I arranged for someone to send it back. Later, the merchant sent it again. Three boxes of gold and silver, but Mr. He seemed very angry and sent them back."

Ying Qi didn't understand either, what kind of operation was this?
If Heshen in history, he would probably accept it first and then open his mouth again?

What's the situation now?
Want to refuse or welcome?

Probably not, then there is only one possibility... He really doesn't want it!
Fuck, he won't go in the direction of an upright official, will he?

Ying Qi's pupils suddenly became bigger, no, he seemed to be seeing his eternal virtuous minister gradually moving away from him!

"Tomorrow, I have to enlighten this kid, why are you having trouble with money?"
