Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 27

"Sir, the Imperial Master is here."

"Follow me to meet you!" Rong Dang who was being interrogated put down his whip and led the crowd to the gate of Tingwei Prison.

"The lower official has seen the national teacher"

Xiao Hong got off the carriage and saw Tingwei Rongdang who was bowing and saluting.

"Master Rong, please get up." Xiao Hong helped Rong Dang up.

"This Marquis came today to pick up people. I mistakenly expelled my personal maids from the Marquis Mansion before, but later found out that I wronged them. This time I came to take them back."

"Master Hou, are you talking about four girls, Spring Grass, Summer Flower, Autumn Leaf, and Winter Snow?" Ting Wei Rong Dang asked respectfully.

"It's the four of them. I didn't make it difficult for Lord Rong, right?"

"Master Hou, what are you talking about? This is someone from Lord Hou's mansion. How dare Rong Dang refuse to let him go when Lord Hou comes to ask for it. Go, bring Chuncao and the four girls out." Rong Dang asked his men to go to the court. Wei Yu brought the four of Chuncao out.

"Master Hou, I would like to invite the government officials to sit down. I just have something to ask Master Hou."

"Well, you wait here"

"My Lord please"

"Sir Rong, please"

After Xiao Hong took his seat, Rong Dang bowed and asked, "Master Hou, I want to ask you if there is anyone you suspect."

"Suspect?" Xiao Hong pondered for a moment, and said: "Actually, if you want to talk about suspects, I think they are more likely."

Xiao Hong mentioned a few names, these people are servants who have been cleaning around the outer courtyard, and they are also the people who know the outer courtyard best.

"This group of rebels are very familiar with the situation in the outer courtyard of the Marquis' mansion, and they even know the patrol time of the guards. Therefore, the insider must be someone who knows the situation in the outer courtyard very well, or several people committed the crime together. Lord Rong, you can start from just now. They were all servants who cleaned the outer courtyard all day long, and they were very familiar with the structure of the outer courtyard and the guarding of the guards."

"Thank you, Lord Hou for your guidance." Rong Dang bowed and saluted.

Qin Shihuang asked him to find the person who should be inside within a day, but there are hundreds of servants in the Hou's mansion.

Rong Dang was interrogated one by one, let alone a day, even if Rong Dang was given a week, there was not enough time.

"My lord, Chuncao and the others have brought them." Several soldiers escorted Chuncao and the others to the main hall of the government office.

Chuncao and the others were just imprisoned in Tingwei Prison not long ago, and they were not interrogated. They were just frightened, but nothing serious happened.

"Master Hou," Chuncao and the others saw Xiao Hong sitting in the main seat, crying and knelt down.

"Get up." Xiao Hong helped them up, and said, "I wronged you and made you feel wronged."

"My lord Rong, I have other things to do, so I will leave first. As for the four of them, I will take them away. I will go and talk to your majesty in person." The servant, Chuncao and the four of them are also within the scope of the interrogation.

"It's a trivial matter, don't bother the Marquis, just go and report to His Majesty."

"That's fine, this matter is considered to be a favor owed by Master Rong."

"Master Hou, what is this talking about?" Rong Dang graciously sent Xiao Hong out of the mansion.

After watching Xiao Hong's carriage go away, he turned and returned to the government office.

It was nothing at all for Xiao Hong to take away the four personal maidservants, even if Qin Shihuang knew about it, there would be no problem.

There are only four maidservants, Qin Shihuang is going to marry his daughter to Xiao Hong, will he care about the four maidservants?
When Xiao Hong returned to Hou Mansion, Wang Chen had already returned with his guards.

"Master Hou" Wang Chen also saw Chuncao and the others standing behind Xiao Hong.

"Take the four of them down and have a good rest for a few days. It's true that the Marquis has wrongly blamed them this time."

"Master Hou, this old slave has recruited 150 slaves in a nearby village today. These old slaves have been investigated, and their backgrounds are clean. They are all born and bred in Qin."

"Okay, let Chun Cao and the four of them train these slaves tomorrow. You come with me."

"Here"

Wang Chen asked the guards to take Chun Cao and the others down to rest first, while he followed Xiao Hong to the study.

"Hou Ye"

"Wang Chen, how much money is in the Hou's mansion now?"

"Reporting to the Marquis, all the money invested in Zhenping County has been earned back. At present, the coal mines and iron mines can earn tens of thousands of dollars every day. After all costs are taken into consideration, the profit can be seven to eight thousand. Including the 25 yuan that His Majesty rewarded the Marquis, the Marquis's current wealth is about [-]."

"Yeah..." Xiao Hong knew long ago that once the harness and weapons were put into production, the coal mines and iron mines would definitely be very profitable, but they couldn't eat on their own, they had to give some to others, especially Qin Shihuang, so as to ensure long-term stability.

"Wang Chen, please do some calculations in the past few days. What is the current stable daily profit of coal mines and iron mines? Coal mines and iron mines must also pay taxes on time every month according to the tax rate of copper and iron merchants."

The Qin Dynasty had very strict management of merchants, and the taxes were very high. For merchants like copper and iron merchants, their taxes had to be paid every month.

"Old Slave Knows"

"Also buy a house in Xianyang City, remember the place must be big, don't be afraid to spend money"

"Well, I'll do it now, old slave."

Early the next morning, Wang Chen came to Xiao Hong's room with the title deed and house deed.

"Master Hou, this is the house I bought yesterday. The house is not far from the Hou's mansion. It turned out to be the house of a wealthy businessman. Bought by an old slave at a low price”

"Well done, let's take Benhou to have a look."

Wang Chen took Xiao Hong around the newly bought house.

"Well, the place is not small, three houses and three houses, find some craftsmen, and send some servants from the Hou's mansion."

"Here"

Soon, Wang Chen came with craftsmen. Of course, these craftsmen were all under the name of the Shaofu, but Jiang Xiu heard that Xiao Hong wanted to use craftsmen, so he immediately picked some good hands to follow Wang Chen.

"Master Marquis, the craftsmen are here"

"Okay, Wang Chen, haven't the [-] forbidden troops left yet? Go and gather [-] forbidden troops to guard the perimeter of the courtyard. No one is allowed to approach at will."

"Here..." Although Wang Chen was very curious, what exactly Xiao Hong planned to do, he was looking for craftsmen and dispatching troops.

However, as Xiao Hong's most loyal lackey, although Wang Chen was curious, he would not ask why, as long as Xiao Hong asked him to do it, he would never hesitate.

"Come on, you guys remodel this house according to this blueprint." Xiao Hong spread out the blueprints he drew last night.

When these craftsmen were renovating the house, Xiao Hong gathered all the servants together.

"Go and purchase these materials and tools now." Xiao Hong divided the servants into five groups, and each group was responsible for purchasing one item.

For the next few days, Xiao Hong ate and lived with these craftsmen and servants.Finally, under Xiao Hong's hands-on guidance, Daqin's first blank paper was finally released.

The "good texture" system provided Xiao Hong with an improved papermaking technique, which can directly produce high-quality white paper.

"Okay, just make it according to this standard, and you will work here from now on." Xiao Hong rushed to the palace with the blank paper he just made.
