The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

Queen Ying took care of him while he ate and patted him on the back. Li Ze thought they were so kind that his tears fell into his food and he finished the meal with tears in his eyes.

"Sir, my dear, you are both good people. I am giving you the books on flood control that have been handed down in my family."

"You can't do that! Your ancestors were geniuses in flood control. These are your family's treasures. How can you give them to me so easily?"

Qin Xingfu was very curious, but she couldn't take all the heirlooms! It was okay to take a look.

"Sir, to be honest, my family is now in decline. My brothers originally planned to exchange the money for money, at least to ensure food and clothing, but I couldn't bear to let the hard work of our ancestors go to waste. Looking around, only you can be entrusted with it. One day in the future, the hard work of our ancestors may be put to good use."

Li Ze felt that they were living a failed life, but they could not hold on any longer. For a moment, tears streamed down his face, and he cried bitterly.

Qin Xingfu also sighed. She had been curious about why Li Bing and his son did not leave any books or notes about Dujiangyan. It seemed that his descendants sold their hard work.

"Okay, thank you for your trust. Can I take a look first?"

Li Ze nodded and quickly opened the things he had just carried. They were all wrapped very well in three layers inside and outside. Some were bamboo slips and some were animal skins.

Qin Xingfu looked at it carefully. Some of the characters were bronze inscriptions and some were large seal characters. She found it very interesting. It recorded the deeds and experiences of Li Bing and his son in building the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, as if she was also a participant.

After reading all of it, Qin Xingfu sighed.

"These are priceless treasures. Are you really willing to give them up? If you send them to me from thousands of miles away, how will you survive in the future?"

"I didn't think too much about it."

Li Ze originally planned to ask for favors from her, but when he really met her and gained their respect, it seemed that nothing else mattered.

“These are precious.”

Li Ze seemed to have made up his mind. The things had been delivered and he was ready to go back.

"Sir, I am grateful for your kindness. Your words are enough for me. I will take my leave now!"

After he bowed and was about to leave, Qin Xingfu stopped him.

"Uncle, you've worked so hard along the way, and you gave me all the heirlooms. I have to thank you, right? If you're leaving like this, then take them all back!"

Li Ze didn't expect her to say that.

"Yes! You are complaining about our poor hospitality!"

Yue Xin hurriedly grabbed him, Ying Bu, Ying Hou and others also came forward to persuade him, so Li Ze had no choice but to stay.

"That's right. You've worked hard all the way here. I'll take you down to rest!"

Yue Xin took Li Ze to the guest room, and Qin Xingfu hurriedly re-copied these precious things in small seal script.

Fortunately, she has studied these texts over the years and can understand them, otherwise she would not know how precious these things are even if she got them.

After Qin Xingfu finished copying, she discovered that some of the bamboo slips were starting to break. She had to find a way to preserve them. These would become national treasures in the future!

She found a map, looked up information, and then looked at where the lacquer trees were distributed. Raw lacquer is the best preserved material, and it is purely natural. Judging from the distribution, the closest place is Guilin County.

Thinking of this, she went to find Wei Tuo.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"My Lord County Magistrate, please stop calling me that. Just call me Xiao Qin!"

Wei Tuo didn't dare to do that. This man was exiled here and could still command so many people. He was not a fool.

"In Wei's heart, adults are always adults!"

"Okay! Do you know the sumac tree?"

Wei Tuo nodded. He knew this, but he didn’t know why she asked this?

"That's good. How is your relationship with the governor of Guilin County?"

"To be honest, I have some personal connections with the governor of Guilin County. He is my cousin. His mother and my mother are cousins."

Qin Xingfu couldn't figure out the relationship for a moment, but it didn't matter, as long as he could get the raw lacquer.

"That's good. You can find a way to get me some raw lacquer. I'll give you this money. It's very hard to collect lacquer, so I'll buy it for you."

Wei Tuo looked at the money in his hand and felt it was too much.

"Sir, raw lacquer costs more than this much."

"No, it's worth it. That's what you mean. We can't let the lacquer pickers work so hard in vain. Besides, lacquer trees are poisonous. This is what the lacquer pickers deserve."

Wei Tuo didn't expect that she was so considerate of the people, and thanked her for her trust. He took the money with both hands and said.

"Sir, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

"It's okay. It's not urgent."

"Sir, may I ask you a question? What do you want this lacquer for?"

"Raw lacquer is a very good material. It has excellent durability, excellent resistance to chemical corrosion, good wear resistance and heat resistance, and good electrical insulation performance. I want to use it to preserve some precious bamboo slips."

Wei Tuo also has a lot of classics at home, and he thinks about how to preserve them every year. Qin Xingfu immediately provides him with a very good idea, and he secretly sighs that his cousin's good days are coming!

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion!"

"Good work!"

"It is my honor to work for you, sir!"

Qin Xingfu discovered that this official culture was truly engraved in the bones of the Chinese since ancient times.

After she left, Wei Tuo wrote a letter directly to the governor of Guilin and sent the money along with it.

Huang Gen, the governor of Guilin County, was so happy when he received the news. Now they were going to be rich! Now they were no longer poor. They had seen the changes in Jiaodong County in the past few years.

The lacquer tree is really not something that ordinary people can touch. He gritted his teeth and added some money himself, determined to seize this opportunity to curry favor with someone so powerful.

Li Ze felt very well treated in Qin Xingfu's home. In three days, he felt that he had really become a real person. Since his grandfather, the family began to decline. They were always ridiculed and said that they were not worthy of the surname Li. For so many years, not even a decent person could come out. Each generation was worse than the previous one.

"Sir, thank you and your gentlemen for your hospitality these past few days. I have been away from home for many days and want to go back. I bid you farewell today."

Qin Xingfu nodded. "Okay, I'm just keeping your family's treasure for safekeeping. If your family wants to take it back in the future, this is a keepsake."

Qin Xingfu gave him half of the jade ring, and Li Ze shook his head.

"My Lord, we will not be taking it back! I cannot accept this."

"Take it! You don't know its value yet. If you know it in the future, your descendants who want to work in water conservancy will definitely need it."

Qin Xingfu did not allow any refusal and nodded to Yue Xin.

Li Ze felt the jade ring was very hot when he held it.

"Uncle, I'll take you there!"

When Li Ze was sent to the door, he saw a carriage and an escort at the door. Li Ze was shocked. Was this arranged for him?

Yue Xin nodded.

"Your Excellency knows that it has not been easy for you to come here. This car is for you, and these people are here to escort you back."

Li Ze was really touched these days. The adults did not despise him, treated him with delicious food and drinks, and even sent him home.

"Uncle, there are some money and some recipes for getting rich in the car, please keep them safe! Hush~ Don't tell anyone."

Yue Xin whispered in his ear, and Li Ze had to suppress his surprise and looked at Qin Xingfu.

Qin Xingfu said while holding the child.

"Safe journey!"

The children followed suit and spoke along.

"Grandpa, have a safe journey!"

"Eat well!"

"Bye-Bye!"

Li Ze was already speechless and could only kowtow to express his feelings. Yue Xin quickly pulled him up and sent him to the car.

"Safe journey!"

"Thank you, my dear!"

The convoy slowly left, and Ying Bu was very puzzled.

"Sir, you gave them so much money, why did you promise to give it to the Li family if they came to collect it?"

After all this trouble, the family’s money was almost gone, and he was very worried.

"It's okay. Money is only a part of one's body. These things cannot be bought with money."

"But there's no money at home."

Qin Xingfu said while gritting his teeth.

"I'll ask His Majesty for money! I can't work for free. By the way, report what you are going to do, so that no one can find fault with me later."

When Ying Bu heard her say this, his expression improved. Qin Xingfu fiddled with the telegraph machine herself and sent the message.

In Xianyang, the First Emperor looked at the message in his hand and laughed out of anger. This girl took so long to write to him, and it turned out that she was asking him for money. If he didn't give her money, she would find a way out on her own.

The First Emperor thought about Yilai's property, which had made him richer than him in just ten years, so he also wanted to go into business.

The First Emperor pondered for a while. He would rather give money than agree to her husband to do business. He could allow him to be a doctor or a martial artist, but the number of people had to be limited.

He was really afraid that if he raised them too big, her descendants would swallow them up in the future, so he had to be on guard! He could give them lofty status and false reputation, but not real power, and the wealth had to be under his control.

Oh, and she also said that there are mines in Guilin County, and she wants to use local materials. This is also approved! Just report regularly.

"Hei Yi."

"To!"

"Just reply to her like this!"

"Here!"

Qin Xingfu always felt aggrieved when she looked at the message she received. He really thought too highly of her!

"My Lord, what does His Majesty say?"

Ying Bu had been looking forward to it these two days. After Qin Xingfu showed him the news, he became unhappy.

"Why? Your Majesty, do you really want to..."

"Dear, don't be angry, it's good like this, we have no worries about food and clothing."

"But, we are like dogs. How much people give us depends on their mood. If one day they stop giving us, won't we starve to death?"

Ying Bu felt aggrieved, but he felt even worse for her. For so many years, she had worked so hard but never received trust. He felt very aggrieved.

"It's okay! Dan Yao can make money as a doctor, and our family can still be self-reliant. Don't be angry!"

"My Lord, I feel bad for you. His Majesty knows everything you have done, but he still chose to exile you. If one day he really does not allow you to live, I..."

This is not something that can be said casually, Qin Xingfu quickly covered his mouth.

"No! Trust me!"

Seeing her serious look, Ying Bu felt inexplicably convinced, so he suppressed his anger, held her head and continued.

The two of them let go after they were both out of breath.

"Let's go! Let's have a family meeting."

Qin Xingfu pulled him and asked Yue Xin and others to attend the family meeting.

"This is the news from His Majesty's meeting. You should all read it and understand what is going on. If you stay with me and drown your own talents, I will be sorry for you for the rest of my life."

"Sir, that's not the case. His Majesty hasn't completely disapproved of it! This is fine."

Queen Ying thinks that the current result is much better, as she no longer has to rely on others for money to make a living.

"Well, actually these are pretty good. There are many children at home, so someone still needs to stay and take good care of them. I like to take care of the children at home."

Yue Xin likes to manage all the big and small matters at home in order. Dan Yao, Xu He and Ying Hou probably won't have much energy to take care of the children by then, but he still feels a sense of accomplishment watching the children grow up day by day.

"My lord, it's okay. I was just thinking about it. You don't have to blame yourself."

Ying Bu also figured it out and realized that he might not be cut out for business, and it might be more interesting to look at more jade and antiques.

"The child is less than one year old now, and I am worried. Let's wait until the child is older."

Dan Yao really loves his daughter. He holds her in his arms every day and doesn’t feel tired at all.

"Then I can open a martial arts school first. The children are old enough to learn martial arts seriously."

When Xuhe saw that what he wanted to do was allowed, he had already thought a lot in his mind.

"I think I can open a private school and make some money."

Mi Fu felt that this could also help earn some money to supplement the family income.

The county school only accepts children aged 8 to 12. Some people who want to take the examination after the age of 12 still need to learn from some knowledgeable people. He thinks he can do it.

Qin Xingfu was relieved to see them like this. This is what a family is like! He kissed each of them one by one and said.

"Okay! Do it according to your own ideas! I support you."

"I support it too!"

The little ones didn't know what the adults were saying, but they imitated their mother and expressed their support.

The fathers hugged them and kissed them. Ying Bu thought, it's not that bad! Everything will be fine. A smile appeared on his face.

On the sixth day that Qin Xingfu was at home, Wei Tuo brought someone to deliver a large bucket of raw lacquer.

"Sir! These are all raw lacquer. Can you take a look and see if they are okay? Can they be used?"

Qin Xingfu put on a mask and gloves, opened the lid and took a look.

"Not bad, this should be enough. Is the money enough?"

"That's enough."

There is more, and his cousin even paid for it out of his own pocket. Now many people are taking risks to collect lacquer.

"Lacquer trees can be planted in large quantities. You can ask the county governor to spread the word about the effects of raw lacquer. Then it can be considered an industry. Oh, that's just in time. Please inform the county governor of Guilin that there is a mine here. His Majesty has allowed it to be mined."

Wei Tuo was extremely envious of his cousin, so he decided to go there in person this time and extort some money from him.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Yue Xin, Ying Bu, you guys come and entertain Lord Wei. I'm going to the laboratory."

Qin Xingfu said while holding the raw lacquer that she would first experiment to see how to achieve the best preservation effect while ensuring that the words on the bamboo slips were clearly visible.

I scooped out a small spoonful to observe the characteristics of the raw lacquer. It was quite viscous and clean, and it seemed to have been filtered.

She took out a beaker and weighed it, then mixed it with water according to the proportion, and used a little to test the effect first.

She started to boil lacquer, simply repeating the process. She thought that if she succeeded, she would have to make an automatic boiling pot, which was too boring.

The amount was small, and the lacquer was dark. She tried to apply it on the bamboo slips used for writing, but the words could not be seen clearly.
