I was fucked by Zheng Ge as soon as I crossed over

The crowd dispersed, and the impact of this decree had just begun.

At the Zhao Mansion in Pei County, Lü Gong brought his eldest son to visit again. Together with the Xiao family, the three families invested together and bought the regional rights of the nearby clothing at an auction.

In recent days, the three companies have been discussing the location of the clothing store and other opening matters.

This time, Lu Gong came not for the clothing store, but for the imperial edict that had just been issued.

Lü Gong: "Lord Zhao, have you heard of this imperial decree?"

"Naturally, Your Majesty has the people of the world in mind and celebrates with them. This is a great kindness."

Duke Zhao stroked his growing beard and replied with a smile, "Could it be that Duke Lu came here because of the bean sprouts, tofu, and other things mentioned in the imperial decree?"

"That's right. I can't hide it from Lord Zhao." Lu Gong drank up the tea in the cup. Don't underestimate this cup of tea. It has a refreshing fragrance and a bitter taste. It is a top-quality tea that can only be found in Xianyang.

A small cup of tea brings out the profound heritage of the Zhao family.

Since the last trip to Xianyang, Lu Gong was greatly shocked, especially the little boy Xiao He who was with them. He was actually recommended by Zhao Gong to the Zhili Internal Affairs Office and was directly retained as the Internal Affairs Sheriff. Before they returned, Xiao He had already entered the court hall to participate in the court meeting.

All this shocked everyone, especially Lu Gong, who had an adult child and wanted to take advantage of Zhao Gong.

Haven't you seen that the Xiao family has gradually become arrogant since Xiao He entered the court, and it seems that they no longer have any dealings with merchants.

Lu Gong mused, "I don't know why Xiao He caught Zhao Gong's eye. If we can find out, maybe Ze'er and Shizhi at home can also get promoted to officialdom because of this."

"Do you want to open a restaurant with someone?"

Zhao Gong's questioning voice rang in Lu Gong's ears. He quickly collected his thoughts and withdrew from his eldest son. "Yes, this is the idea that my son came up with. Ze'er, why don't you explain it to Zhao Gong?"

"Yes, father."

Lu Ze bowed to Lord Zhao and began to elaborate on his idea: "Lord Zhao, I was wandering around Xianyang a while ago and discovered many new kinds of food. I asked my servant to secretly inquire about them, and with some money, I learned how to make them. I'm thinking of opening a restaurant in Pei County. It's sure to be very popular."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which detailed the cooking methods, costs and benefits of various foods.

Lord Zhao took the plan and looked at Lu Ze with satisfaction. He nodded in appreciation and said, "My dear nephew, your consideration is very good."

Lu Gong was secretly happy and thought it was a success.

In the Xiao Mansion, not far from the Zhao Mansion, a young servant hurried into the inner hall and said, "Master, Lord Lu took Lu Ze to Lord Zhao's Mansion and has not returned yet."

The Xiao family elders sitting in the inner hall did not seem anxious. "Nothing, please leave."

After the young servant retreated, another old man spoke up, "Third brother, do you want to stop it?"

"No need. Our Xiao family has already taken the initiative. We just need to select some useful people from the clan and send them to Xianyang to help He'er gain a foothold as soon as possible. That's the real thing to do."

"Yes." The others all nodded, silently thinking about which of their children would be more suitable.

Merchants from Pei County, which was closer to Xianyang, had already returned, but other caravans participating in the auction that were farther away were still on the road, but this did not affect the speed at which they learned the imperial edict.

The young man in red and his group were already halfway through their journey. "Does this tax cut include us?"

"I think it should be included. It includes all common people in the world, and of course we are included."

"That's great."

Before the young man in red could cheer, the old man with beard and hair in the carriage asked them to come closer.

"Little one, you guys go ahead and explore the road and find a place to set up camp. We won't be leaving today."

"Yes." Several young men took the order and left, leaving the adults in the carriage to discuss matters.

The old man watched the man walk away, lowered the curtain, and sighed softly, "I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."

An old man sitting on the right side of the carriage stroked his beard and sighed, "Since the King of Qin has ordered tax cuts to allow the people to rest and recuperate, the common people will have more money and can naturally buy more goods. This is a good thing no matter how you look at it."

"It's a pity for the accumulated illegal salt. We need to sell it as soon as possible."

"Yeah! What a shame!"

The old man on the other side was not thinking about this. He looked at the others with a serious look, "What do you think, will those Shang Shang people accept the call to go to the Great Qin Academy?"

"This... is still unknown."

"Half and half."

Their trip to Xianyang was quite fruitful. They successively won the regional rights to several items. Although it cost a lot, it was incomparable to the gains that came later.

Before the evening, the group had found an open area and set up camp to rest.

The servants in the house had already learned several new ways of cooking in Xianyang. They took out the prepared flour and other ingredients and started cooking on the spot.

Several young men watched the waiter cooking from afar and chatted with each other.

"If you ask me, this Third Princess is truly extraordinary. What's going on in her head that she can come up with so many recipes for food?"

"Maybe it was really taught by a god, otherwise how could he suddenly know everything overnight if he hadn't shown any signs for more than ten years?"

"Not necessarily. Ying Zheng promoted such a divine disciple. The common people are so ignorant that they must have believed that he was blessed by heaven and that he would win over the people's hearts."

The old men listened to the conversation between the young men and thought to themselves, if the children knew this, how could they not know it? However, the Qin army was powerful, and no matter how many plans they had, they could only make plans secretly.

Merchants are well-informed, and the few they know about have already arranged many measures.

"Let him be. No matter how the world changes, it won't stop these merchants from making money."

However, the four people in the small courtyard in Xianyang City gradually had a change of mood.

Originally, they were watching the changes in the Qin Dynasty at that time, and later they lived in seclusion in Shangshan. Liu Bang respectfully invited them to come out, but they refused. Finally, it was not until Lu Zhi came to the mountain and begged him that he came out to help his son secure the position of crown prince.

Now, because of Su Jinyue's appearance, the four of them have the idea of ​​joining the game early.

"What do you think, Brother Shaotong, Brother Xuanming, are you interested in taking any action?" Zhou Shu looked at the two old men at the top and asked for their opinions.

Tang Bing stroked his long beard faster and faster, just looking at Cui Guang without saying a word.

Cui Guang lowered his eyes in deep thought, but Wu Shi couldn't help but speak first, "I've seen three items in the imperial edict. One of them is to reduce taxes and give the people a rest, which will greatly benefit the world."

"Just look at the third clause: The Great Qin Academy is open to all citizens, and after three years of study, one can enter the government. Ying Zheng is trying to recruit all schools of thought and use them for his own benefit. How could the Legalists not object?"

Zhou Shu: "Why not object? I heard that those great sages of the Legalists have been visiting the Prime Minister's residence for five consecutive days."

Cui Guang became interested. "Oh? Did Li Si meet him?"

Zhou Shu was also puzzled: "I did see them, and they waited for a long time. When the group of Legalists came out again, their faces were calm and they did not object to the imperial edict at all."

"Strange, what did they say?"

Tang Cheng stopped stroking his beard with his left hand, his eyes firm. "Send the previously compiled classics to the Daqin Bookstore. We'll discuss the rest later."
