Daqin: Robbing Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 34 Dare to Pit Me?
A few days later, Ying Qi smiled and called Fu Su and Hu Hai to Zhenggangou.

"Thanks to the great assistance of the two of you, this business can be developed in full swing, and all the things that the more than 1 refugees and the emperor asked for have been taken care of. Afterwards, I will definitely put the elder brother and the younger brother first!"

Fusu quickly waved his hand, "It's all what we should do. Damn it!"

They were surprised to see the gate more than ten meters high.

"No, shall we?"

"As for it, brother." Ying Qi stepped forward and touched the city wall, "Look, this is the cement I mentioned, you can get a feel for it."

Fusu and Huhai put their hands on the wall tentatively, shook them vigorously, and were immediately surprised.

"Is this a stone?"

"No, it's made of mud."

"So strong!" The two were suddenly very surprised, "So it's the thing you said that can solve the road problem!"

"Yes, how is it?"

Fusu touched the wall with an expression of enjoyment, his eyes blurred.

"I just don't know if it's a good thing to make."

"It's easy to make, as long as the raw materials are matched, anyone can make it." Ying Qi thoughtfully, "Now, you know why I keep it so secret? Because once this thing is found by the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, it will be used to strengthen the city wall Or if the secrets are leaked to other foreign countries, the consequences would be disastrous."

Fu Su nodded approvingly, "So what's your plan?"

"First arrange people to repair the roads around Xianyang, and we also took on a job to renovate the city walls of Xianyang. The former father arranged people, and the latter I paid some money for food and grass, and I regarded it as renovating my home. After all, if you have such a good thing, you must first use it for yourself.”

Fusu looked at Ying Qi with a smile on his face, "It means that the palace is now completed, otherwise I am still looking forward to using this material to build the palace."

"Let's go in and have a look. My Zhenggangou has accommodated more than 1 refugees from the Gyeonggi area and has become a worker serving our royal family. The work efficiency is very high. Let's take a look at their work area first and see their enthusiasm."

When they came to the brick kiln and the open space for making cement, Fusu and Hu Hai smiled as they watched the workers in full swing.

Really good.

Hu Hai suddenly picked up a brick, "Brother, what is this thing for?"

Ying Qi took the brick, turned around and handed it to the workers to show them.

"okay."

Then, the workers skillfully picked up the bricks and put cement on them to build a wall.

Ying Qi pointed to the dry wall in the distance, "The wall made by this thing is harder and more regular, and the cost is also low. Compared with wood, the cost of mud is simply too low."

Hu Hai suddenly pointed to the houses in the distance, "Those, are these houses made of bricks and cement?"

"That's right." Ying Qi responded with a smile, "That's the staff dormitory. It's lunch time, and they're still resting in the dormitory. Just go and have a look."

The staff dormitory was overcrowded at this time. They were eating whole grains with happiness on their faces. When they saw Ying Qi and the two of them coming, they got up quickly.

"I've seen your son!"

Many people in the house also heard it, opened the door and echoed with a smile, "I've seen you, sir!"

Fu Su and Hu Hai had never seen such a scene before, especially Fu Su, who couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Look at their smiles, how simple they are."

"Yes, these are the low-level people. As long as you treat them well, they will repay you with everything they have." Ying Qi laughed, "We have read many sage books to understand that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. But this principle happens all the time around these simple people.”

"The two next to me are the first emperor's eldest son Fusu and son Huhai. They are benefactors who provide food and accommodation expenses for you!"

The workers immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, and surrounded Hu Hai and Fu Su.

"Thank you my benefactor!"

"Long live!"

These low-level people will not say anything else, they only know these two sentences.

But this is enough to make two children who have not been involved in the world excited.

Fusu suppressed his excitement and helped the nearest elder.

"We are all His Majesty's sons, as it should be."

"You are all the people of our Great Qin, so naturally we can't suffer you."

Seeing the two children immersed in it, Ying Qi grinned, and Kou Zhun handed over the ledger.

The time for reckoning has come.

"These two benefactors have other business, you go to eat first, don't affect the work in the afternoon."

"promise."

Fu Su and Hu Hai were a little bit unsatisfied, this feeling of being admired by the stars is really good!
"It's just that I don't have much money here. Do you want to see the next account?"

Fu Su was taken aback, "Didn't I give you five thousand gold at the beginning? Later, I arranged for someone to send you two thousand gold, which is seven thousand gold. How could it be spent so quickly?"

"Yes, I also contributed three thousand."

Ying Qi smiled wryly, "It's not just you guys, even though I don't have much money, I've put out five thousand gold to fill it in, but it's really not enough. If you don't believe that there is an account book, you just have to check it out for yourself."

Fu Su and Hu Hai took over the ledger with disbelief on their faces.

Cement, brick kilns, iron, water, and some agricultural implements cost nearly five thousand gold in total, and the two of them didn't have any objections.

Now that Yingzheng has collected ironware from the six countries on a large scale, the price of iron and other metals has been somewhat inflated, which is understandable.

They nodded and continued to scroll down until they saw the price of grain.

"What the hell? Ten gold and one stone?" Fu Su stared at Ying Qi with wide eyes.

Ying Qi spread his hands helplessly, "This is still the cheapest price of grain, you may not know it, but fortunately County Magistrate Li sells it cheaply, otherwise I would not be able to afford grain at all. You also know how much [-] mouths consume , especially since their workload is so heavy, we can’t make them work hungry, right?”

Fu Su and Hu Hai nodded, "We're not saying they can't eat enough, but the price is outrageous!"

"I didn't lie to you. This is the price Li You sold me. The price of grain around will only be higher. You may not know that the grain provided to me by Xianyang County alone is as much as 12 catties."

Fusu's complexion suddenly became very ugly, and Hu Hai was no exception.

"Where did a Xianyang County get 12 catties of allowance? He dug up his ancestral grave and didn't even count the tributes!" Hu Hai couldn't help but swear.

Fusu also had an angry face, "This Li You is really interesting? He actually bullied us!"

Ying Qi's face was full of sadness, "But, he's the cheapest one here."

"Brother, you are too honest, and you don't even think about it. Why do other families raise prices desperately, but Xianyang is the cheapest? Because he originally wanted to sell you ten catties a stone! We were cheated by a partnership!"

"Go, let's find him!"
