【After confirming that wool can indeed be spun into yarn, and that the clothes woven into it are more comfortable and warmer than linen,】

【King Ying Zheng of Qin also looked at all the peasants and Mohists who were present and participated in wool weaving, and gave an order:"Before the Qin State unified the world, the fact that wool can be spun into wool yarn is forbidden to be disclosed."】

【"Anyone who violates this rule will be punished as a traitor!"】

【The wool that was once discarded and useless can now be used for textiles, which has brought great benefits.】

【If Qin can seize this opportunity, then Qin's basic national strength will at least increase by a few points.】

【Therefore, before the Qin State truly unified the world, King Ying Zheng of Qin would never allow this matter to be revealed to other countries.】

【Otherwise, if other countries knew this secret and also participated in the wool trade,】

【Then, everyone's national strength will rise by a few points.】

【If everyone's national strength increases, then doesn't that mean Qin's national strength hasn't increased?】

【Moreover, it will become more difficult for Qin to attack other countries whose national strength has increased by a few points in the future.】

【That is why King Qin Ying Zheng ordered to keep the secret of this matter secret, at least until the Qin unified the world, before allowing the secret that wool can be woven into clothes to be announced to the people.】

【Xu Zi, Xiang Liji and other peasants and Mohists naturally knew the reason why King Qin Ying Zheng issued this order, so they all bowed and clasped their hands in response:"Yes, Your Majesty!"】

【After being hit with a big stick for a while, King Ying Zheng of Qin also felt relieved and said with a smile:"The Qin State rewards those who have made contributions and punishes those who have made mistakes!"】

【"You have all made contributions to the development of wool this time, and each of you will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins!"】

【As soon as he opened his mouth, King Qin Ying Zheng rewarded him with tens of thousands of gold.】

【Although tens of thousands of gold is a lot, it is very little compared to the benefits that wool yarn can bring.】

【And more importantly, wool yarn is a long-term business, a big business that can continuously bring profits to the Qin State.】

【In addition, the wool yarn idea was first proposed by Crown Prince Fusu, so the credit should go to Crown Prince Fusu.】

【In addition, there were too many peasants and Mohists involved in the development of wool yarn, and even King Qin Ying Zheng could not grant them all titles.】

【After all, the titles of nobility in Qin were not easy to come by.】

【So in this case, direct bounty is a more appropriate choice】

【When Xu Zi, Xiang Liji and other peasant children and Mohist children heard about the reward from King Qin Ying Zheng, they bowed their hands again and said,"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"】

【People like Xu Zi and Xiang Liji, who are well-informed, can remain calm and composed in the face of the generous rewards from King Ying Zheng of Qin.】

【But most of the other children from farming families and Mohist schools could not suppress their joy. They finally understood why so many people were willing to join the Qin State and work for King Ying Zheng.】

【It feels so good to have the boss reward you generously as long as you have made contributions, and the rewards will continue to flow to you.】

【Of course, the peasants and Mohists did not forget that the reason they were able to receive rewards from King Qin Ying Zheng was mainly due to the genius ideas proposed by Prince Fusu.】

【After all, if it weren't for the brilliant ideas proposed by Prince Fusu, they wouldn't have been able to take credit for developing the plow, curved plow, wool yarn, etc., and naturally they wouldn't have received generous rewards from King Ying Zheng of Qin.】

【Think about it, it has only been half a year since they followed Crown Prince Fusu, or were transferred to work under Crown Prince Fusu. How many waves of rewards have they received?】

【If I tell this to others, I'm afraid they will be jealous to death.】

【Therefore, all the peasants and Mohists became more grateful and loyal to Prince Fusu.】

【After beating and rewarding, King Ying Zheng of Qin also turned his head to look at Zhao Gao beside him and ordered:"Go and invite the left and right prime ministers and the nine ministers to come to me, and tell them that I have something to discuss with them."】

【Zhao Gao bowed his head and replied,"Yes, Your Majesty!"】

【Then, Zhao Gao hurried outside, preparing to invite the left and right prime ministers and the nine ministers to Shanglin Garden to discuss matters.】

【Prince Fusu, who was standing by, reached out and tugged at the corner of the clothes of the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, and looked up at him and said,"Father, do you want to discuss the wool issue with the left and right prime ministers and the nine ministers?"】

【King Ying Zheng of Qin looked down at Crown Prince Fusu, who was holding the little raccoon in one hand and holding the corner of his clothes with the other hand, looking at him with wide eyes. He nodded slightly and asked,"Well, you also have ideas about wool?"】

【Prince Fusu let go of his hand that was holding onto his clothes, blinked his big eyes and said,"The Qin State rewards meritorious service and punishes faults. The wool incident was the idea of this son. Shouldn't father also give this son some reward?"】

【King Qin Ying Zheng laughed and said,"You are right, then what reward do you want?"】

【Prince Fusu held up a finger and said,"10% profit! I want 10% of the profit from Qin's wool trade!""】

【King Qin Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not refuse directly. Instead, he asked:"What do you want to do with this 10% profit?"】

【Although Qin Wang Ying Zheng knew that Prince Fusu was not a person who coveted luxury, even if he was given 10% of the profit from the wool trade, Prince Fusu would not spend it recklessly.】

【However, a 10% profit from wool trading is not a small amount after all, so King Ying Zheng of Qin wanted to find out what Prince Fusu was going to spend the money on.】

【If he felt that Prince Fusu did not need so much money, or that it was not appropriate to invest so much money, then he might cut some of the wool profit given to Prince Fusu.】

【In response to his father's question, Prince Fusu answered directly,"My son's six ministries have many places where money needs to be spent. The money that my father allocated to me last time has almost been used up."】

【"Moreover, I cannot always rely on my father to allocate money to maintain the operation of the six ministries. The six ministries of the crown prince also need to have their own independent income."】

【"Therefore, I want to take 10% of the profit from wool and use it as one of the financial benefits of the six ministries of the crown prince, so as to maintain the normal operation of the six ministries and ensure the subsequent investment in other research and development."】

【"In addition, if the six ministries of the crown prince, or the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Industry continue to research something that benefits the country and the people, and can benefit Qin and my father greatly,"】

【"The six ministries of the crown prince also want to take 10% of the profits from this, just like the wool this time."】

【"In this way, the six ministries of the crown prince will be able to run better and better."】

【After hearing the reasons given by Prince Fusu, King Ying Zheng of Qin hesitated for a moment and did not agree immediately, nor did he refuse directly.】

【After a while, King Ying Zheng of Qin looked at Prince Fusu and said seriously,"If, as you said, the six ministries of the prince want to take 10% of the profits from the wool trade,"】

【"Then in the future, your father will no longer regard your six ministries as a semi-independent department under the name of your father's Shaofu, and will no longer continue to allocate money and materials to you for free."】

【"In the future, your six ministries will be truly independent of the nine ministers of the imperial court. Even if your father needs to consult your six ministries for something, he will not bypass you to mobilize and command them."】

【"No one else will have the power to command them except you."】

【"But in the future, you will also be responsible for the salaries, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and other matters of all the officials and attendants of the six ministries of the Crown Prince!"】

【"If 770 runs the six ministries for you improperly, resulting in no money or salary being distributed to the officials of the six ministries, then the king will not allocate funds to you."】

【"Only after you are completely unable to run the business, will you recruit your six officials and bring them back to the various ministries under your father's rule."】

【"In addition, if your six ministries need any supplies or manpower, you must also pay money to your father according to the corresponding price."】

【"If so, do you still want to take the 10% profit from wool trading?"】

【Prince Fusu tilted his head and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked another question:"What if the officials of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, or the other six ministries have made contributions?"】

【"For example, if they independently invented a foot-operated textile loom, could they still be granted titles and rewards by their father?"】

【King Qin Ying Zheng nodded:"Okay!""】

【"They only belong to your six departments, but their inventions and improvements are beneficial to the entire Qin State and all the people of Qin State."】

【"This is a contribution to the Qin State. The father will naturally give them rewards or titles according to the size of their contributions."】

【After receiving a positive answer, Crown Prince Fusu nodded without any hesitation and said,"Then I will still choose to take 10% of the profit from the wool trade!"】

【After that, Prince Fusu said a little embarrassedly:"But before the first 10% profit of wool is transferred, father will have to continue to allocate funds to the six ministries for a period of time."】

【After hearing what Prince Fusu said, King Ying Zheng of Qin couldn't help but rub Prince Fusu's head, smiled and nodded, saying,"Okay, after visiting your six ministries, father will have someone allocate funds to your six ministries.""】

【Prince Fusu was also happily rubbing the little raccoon in his arms, looking up at his father, smiling widely and saying,"Thank you, father!"】.
