The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

During this special period recently, she was feeling a little irritable, and had a headache and sore throat. When she thought of the First Emperor's indifference to all her suggestions, her anger rose and her headache got worse.

"Here!"

"Then give this to Yilai and ask him to do it. Please ask for leave for me from the morning court tomorrow. I won't be going. Also, help me to go to the river to pan for sand and soil."

"Here!"

Yue Xin couldn't understand why the adults were so angry, so he quickly did as he was told.

Qin Xingfu thought about the glass and porcelain, and went to continue the discussion.

"Did you discuss and resolve your problems yesterday?"

"Sir, we still want to ask you, is your method different from ours?"

"Yes, yes. And how do we control this force? How much mud and how much water?"

"There is also the issue of glaze ratio."

Everyone started talking at once, and Qin Xingfu didn't feel anxious anymore, so he started teaching them slowly.

"Porcelain is similar to pottery, but there are some differences. I reflected on it yesterday. I was too eager to achieve results. I want to apologize to everyone! Today we will teach you again carefully. Everyone follow me, and take out paper and pen to record it when you are ready."

Qin Xingfu brought his people to the mineral soil, picked up the mineral soil and said.

"Although the production methods are basically the same, there are some different conditions in the production process. The first difference is that the raw material used for pottery is generally kaolin, while the raw materials used for porcelain, in addition to kaolin, also contain quartz, feldspar and other ingredients. The second is the difference in firing temperature. The firing temperature of pottery can be between 700 and 800 degrees Celsius, while the firing temperature of porcelain must be above 1200 degrees Celsius. The third is that the surface of pottery is not glazed or is glazed with low-temperature glaze, while the surface of porcelain is glazed with high-temperature resistant glaze."

Qin Xingfu started pounding stones while she was talking. She had always directed others to do it before, but today she was very angry and she looked for an opportunity to vent her anger so she pounded with all her strength.

When others saw her pounding the stone with an expressionless face, they were a little scared, but they still recorded it carefully. After the pounding, Qin Xingfu's anger subsided a lot. This anger came inexplicably and went away quickly.

For the rest of the time, she did everything by herself, without asking anyone else to help or speeding up the process, just letting the dough dry on its own.

The renovation of Jinxianju has been completed, and the news of the appearance of the porcelain has long spread throughout the streets and alleys of Daqin. Many wealthy people have come here to admire it. The defective products have amazed them. If they were perfect, how beautiful would they be?

"Sir, everything is ready. The auction will be held tomorrow. Many people want to buy a piece of porcelain. I want to know how many items will be sold tomorrow?"

Yilai came to report the situation as a result of being urged by most people. If all 20 pieces were sold, Qin Xingfu was afraid that he would not make any money.

"Three pieces, the highest bidder wins, the rest will not be sold, and the future porcelain will be provided to the royal family first, ordinary people will not be able to buy them even if they have money. In addition, I will inform you implicitly that in the future, if there are other business opportunities, the three bidders will be given priority."

Yilai was a businessman, and he knew that things were valuable because they were rare, and that if he got it, it would mean countless wealth in the future. The defective porcelain before was now sold for 100 gold, so how much would the perfect porcelain cost? And in the future, it would be the same porcelain used by the royal family.

"Why are you standing there? Just do what you need to do."

"Sir, can I attend the auction?"

Yilai looked at her cautiously, and Qin Xingfu shook her head.

"You'd better not get involved. Just do your job honestly."

Why do you want to get involved in other businesses when you don't run your hotel and restaurant business well?

"Here!"

Since the First Emperor got the porcelain, he played with it in his hands every day, and snapped it with his fingers to listen to the sound. The emperor was suspicious, and he wanted to carry out the original plans, but he was also afraid that his country would be overthrown. Recently, he had been trying to consider the situation in Qin, and at this time he could only discuss it with Fusu.

Fusu was called away every day. He didn't understand such a good strategy and law that would benefit the country and the people. His father was still worried. Looking at the white hair growing on his temples, he couldn't bear to refute him.

"Father, happiness is often said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You can rest assured that future generations will have their own fortunes. You are overthinking like this, which is really harmful to your health."

"I know that if this is the destiny, I only have one year left to live. I really can't accept this! I just want to live forever. Give me another ten years and I will conquer the world!"

"Father, I am heartbroken. You have devoted your whole life to the country and the people, and you still worry about your descendants. I am an unfilial son!"

Fusu couldn't stop crying when he talked about this. He watched his father being unhappy all day long, and he could do nothing. He felt that he was really useless.

"You go down!"

The First Emperor looked at his son, how could he feel at ease? Qin Xingfu had not even come to the morning court recently, claiming to be sick at home. Perhaps she was a little dissatisfied. She offered all the strategies, each of which was good, but he had not used any of them so far. Perhaps she was resentful!

He was worried that in the future she would be too aggressive and the whole Qin would only know Qin Xingfu but not who the emperor was. He was so worried!

Li Si was very active in court every day, but he was slow to act after leaving. The emperor hadn't talked to him privately for a long time, and he felt very uneasy. Did he do something wrong to displease the emperor?

He hated Qin Xingfu more and more, but His Majesty's favoritism towards that woman was too obvious. She was unwilling to come to the court once in ten days. She claimed to be sick but was organizing an auction. The censor reported her, but His Majesty remained indifferent. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he even overturned the chessboard.

"Qin Xingfu, you'd better be well."

Li Si roared with gritted teeth.

Qin Xingfu kept sneezing, she had a slight cold. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, thought for a while, then found a pen and paper and started to act as a plagiarist. She wanted to carry forward Chinese medicine to future generations!

"Hurry up and write it. What if I get sick and die? How can I find a way to get home? I'll write Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases first!"

Qin Xingfu copied medical books all night and taught the book to Yue Xin early in the morning. Then he took an hour or two of sleep and went to the auction.

She missed the printer and computer very much. It would be great if all the materials were complete. Her hands hurt from copying books.

"Sir, you are finally here. Please come in. Did you not sleep well?"

Yilai waited for a long time and finally saw her, but he saw that her eyes were dark.

"I'm not not coming, ah... let's go! I'm so sleepy, I just didn't sleep well."

"Here!"

Qin Xingfu followed him in, yawning. Everyone in the tavern secretly looked at her and the people following her. They went on stage to display the porcelain, and Yi Lai went on stage to speak.

"Everyone, welcome to come from afar to participate in today's porcelain auction. What you can see is porcelain. I believe you have never seen it before! I have never seen it before, and now I still feel that it is not real. Such a magical object should only be possessed by gods!"

"What are you talking about? Let's get started!"

Some people saw it and wanted to take it home urgently, because it was the same as His Majesty's thing!

"That's it."

Yilai didn't know what to say and looked at Qin Xingfu, who nodded.

"Then we will just bid directly. The first one is an enameled bowl with a picture of spring swallows in an apricot forest. The starting price is one thousand gold. Each time you raise your placard, it means you will bid one hundred gold. You can also raise your placard and shout out your bid. The bid cannot exceed ten thousand gold at a time. The highest bidder wins. Now it's still a bidding game."

"Two thousand gold!"

"Five thousand gold!"

"Ten thousand gold!"

All the merchants were trying to raise the price. They had heard the news privately that whoever bought these would have other business to do in the future. This lady knew many things. Just growing vegetables in winter was amazing. Now there was also porcelain. It was said that the transparent crystal-like thing was also made by her. His Majesty was very close to her and indulged her. If they got in touch with her, they would get in touch with His Majesty, right? Then, could their status as merchants move up a level?

Everyone tried their best to raise the price, their faces were red and they argued for a long time. Finally, someone shouted out.

"One hundred thousand gold!"

No one dared to raise the price for a moment. Qin Xingfu looked in that direction and saw a woman. She guessed that it was the widow Qing from Bashu.

"One hundred thousand gold once, one hundred thousand gold twice, and anyone wants to raise the price? One hundred thousand gold three times! Congratulations to No. 36 for winning the first piece of porcelain!"

Yilai blushed, he had wanted to bid before, but even if he emptied his family's savings it still wouldn't be enough to buy it. This was the first time he did such a thing, he was so happy that his hands kept shaking.

Qin Xingfu glanced at him and he quickly came back to his senses.

"The second piece of porcelain is this, a jar with a picture of Guiguzi descending the mountain. The starting price is 3,000 gold, and the bid cannot exceed 20,000 gold at a time."

"Fifteen thousand gold!"

This time, no one raised the price by one thousand gold at a time, and the price started directly at more than ten thousand gold.

"Two or seven thousand gold!"

"Thirty-eight thousand gold!"

Qin Xingfu fell drowsy amid the bidding. The price competition reached 200,000 gold. Several other families tried their best to raise the price. In the end, the winner was 30 gold. Qin Xingfu did not know that person, Gao De said.

"Sir, he is a wealthy businessman from Jiujiang County. I heard his surname is Tao, and he claims to be a descendant of Lord Tao Zhu. His name is Tao Wang."

Qin Xingfu nodded.

"The last item is the Ruyi Flower and Fruit Vase. The starting price is five thousand gold! The highest bid cannot exceed twenty thousand gold. Start bidding!"

As soon as Yilai finished speaking, he started raising the price. This was their last chance, and they all went crazy. The person who had just queued for 100,000 gold was feeling lucky at this moment, thinking that he had acted early, otherwise the price would have been even higher later.

The final price of 600,000 gold was won by the joint efforts of the royal family members. Qin Xingfu did not expect these people to join in the fun, so he nodded in agreement.

Finally, she gave the things to them and asked the two people from other places to wait in Xianyang for three days. She felt that it was a bit difficult to deal with people from the royal family, so she took a million gold and ran to find the First Emperor.

The First Emperor had received the news a long time ago. When he saw that Qin Xingfu had raised one million gold coins in one go, which was equivalent to one-third of the country's tax revenue, he became jealous. When he heard that she was coming with the money, he quickly asked someone to bring it to her.

"Your Majesty! The three pieces of porcelain have been auctioned off, for a total of one million gold. But I can't give you that much. One tenth will go to the craftsman who made them, and another tenth to the owner of Jinxianju. I'll take one tenth, and the rest will be given to Your Majesty."

It doesn't matter if Qin Xingfu is alone, after all, if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. But now he has to feed twenty or thirty people.

"I agree! Why, are you well today? It's rare that you have time to come and see me."

Qin Xingfu smiled after hearing what sounded sarcastic.

"Your Majesty, please be magnanimous. For the sake of the money I have earned for you, please forgive me! If you dare to do it again in the future, it will be because you turned a blind eye to my plan."

Seeing her ability to turn the tables, the First Emperor shook his head helplessly.

"I haven't made up my mind yet. It's not that I don't need it, but I don't know how to use it. Your prime ministers are not enough."

Qin Xingfu said with a chuckle.

"That's nothing. Just give me the title of princess. I will continue my work as the governor of grain. By the way, remember the imperial edict of pardon. I am afraid someone will want to kill me. As long as there is talent, it doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman. This is the mind and courage of an emperor who will last forever."

The First Emperor's eyes lit up. She did have a solution.

"Hahahaha...Okay, okay, I agree. I'll give the order tomorrow!"

"I will first lead the people of the world to thank Your Majesty for his great grace. Long live Your Majesty!"

"Stop flattering me. You must have something else to say. Talk about it all at once!"

"Your Majesty is really amazing. I really admire you. I just want to talk to you about a few things. The first is about cement, the second is porcelain, and the third is salt. There are three families who are the most likely candidates. The first is Fu Qing from Bashu, the second is Tao Wang, a wealthy businessman in Jiujiang County, and the third is the royal family. My personal opinion is this. To be honest, the current salt has a lot of harmful ingredients. If you eat it for a long time, it will affect your life span. This can be handed over to the royal family. In addition to building the Great Wall, cement can also be used to build roads, houses, and even promotions. If Zhengguo Canal has cement, plus the machines I made, it will not take more than ten years to repair it. Anyway, there are many uses. I think Fu Qing from Bashu can be handed over to her. The rest is porcelain. First, it will be used as a tribute only for the royal family. If there are too many, it can be used for rewards, which can save a lot of money. This can be taught to Tao Wang. Anyway, that area is where the mineral soil is distributed. What do you think?"

Qin Xingfu finished her words without giving the First Emperor any chance to speak. When the First Emperor saw that she had finished speaking, it seemed that there was nothing more to say.

"Draw up a charter and let me take a look."

As soon as the First Emperor finished speaking, Qin Xingfu took it out. In fact, it was already drafted, and she just added a name. However, she didn't know anything about those people in the royal family, so she just filled in royal family.

The First Emperor originally just wanted to find an excuse to get rid of her, but he didn't expect her to use this trick. If the entire court worked at this speed, he would at least have to listen to less of the chatter from the court officials.

"I understand, please leave!"

"Your Majesty, please make up your mind as soon as possible. I asked someone to wait three days for a reply. The New Year is coming soon, and they have to go back to celebrate the New Year."

"What New Year's?"

The First Emperor was puzzled.

"It's New Year's Eve. There are twelve months in a year, and the last day is New Year's Eve..."

Qin Xingfu felt something was wrong and quickly covered his forehead. Damn, the Qin Dynasty did not seem to have the concept of celebrating the New Year. The Qin Dynasty used the Zhuanxu calendar, which was a calendar with October (Jianhai) as the beginning of the year. According to the Zhuanxu calendar, the first day of October every year was a new beginning, and September was the end of the old year.

"Why haven't I heard of it? Tell me about it."

"Ah... it's so troublesome. I can't explain it in just a few words. I'll go back and write some information and send it to you. Some of the information is from the future. Your Majesty, I'll sort it out and send it to you."

"Can!"

"By the way, please arrange for those three families within three days. I'm afraid I'll forget and break my promise."

Qin Xingfu slipped away quickly after he finished speaking. The First Emperor looked at the memorials on the table. What Qin Xingfu wrote alone was worth what all the court officials wrote. All the court officials were thinking about were trivial matters.
