Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 298 Xun Zheng's thoughts

"Huh? It tastes good, girl, is it really made by the crown prince?" After Xun Zheng ate the pineapple, his words suddenly changed.

The housekeeper looked at him greedily, and Xun Miaoke showed great kindness and gave him a piece of pineapple. After taking a bite, the housekeeper's eyes lit up. No wonder Xun Zheng was speechless.

"Right, this pineapple was also invented by the crown prince. Isn't it delicious?" Seeing that Xun Zheng nodded repeatedly, Xun Miao immediately brought up her final topic, "Also, grandpa, His Royal Highness the crown prince wants to cooperate with us."

"If we agree to give the land of Gaonu to the prince, the prince is willing to cooperate with the Xun family to jointly manage the cigarette and betel nut business!"

"What?" Xun Zheng suddenly became uneasy, "As for the land of Gaonu, you are sure that you are not mistaken, did the crown prince say how much it will benefit our Xun family?"

"The [-]% profit is enough to manage the supply of cigarettes and betel nut. The transportation is also arranged by the prince. We are only responsible for sales."

"That's fine, I'll give it to him." Xun Zheng only listened to [-]% of the profit, and immediately agreed, but the housekeeper at the side was a little impatient.

"My lord, should we discuss this matter again?" The steward hurriedly persuaded, "Should we report to the Patriarch about cooperating with the Crown Prince? Besides, if we let other aristocratic families know that we are cooperating with the Crown Prince, wouldn't it be..."

"What will happen?" Xun Zheng sneered, "They are all a bunch of short-sighted guys. I decide this matter. You don't need to say too much. The main thing is to ask, and I will discuss it when the time comes."

As far as Xun Zheng is concerned, he is not the head of the Xun family. He only needs to be responsible to the third house. As for the Xun family uniting with other families to fight against the imperial court, in fact, Xun Zheng thinks it will not work.

So when he came to Xianyang this time, Xun Zheng didn't intend to really listen to Xun You's words, what he wanted to do to Zhao Yi, he was just doing some superficial work, but he didn't expect his granddaughter to bring him a surprise!
Xunzheng specially arranged for people to investigate the business of cigarettes and betel nuts. He knew that no one except the prince's mansion could get involved. Now that the prince wants to cooperate with the Xun family for a piece of land, how could Xunzheng not Overjoyed?
As long as he can get on line with the prince, even if Xun You doesn't agree, he can agree in the name of the third room. At worst, he will leave the Xun family and set up his own family. The third house of the Xun family flourished.

As for the piece of land in Gaonu County, to Xun Zheng, it was nothing at all. There were too many lands like the Xun family's third house, and it didn't matter if it was more or less.

"Miao Ke, tomorrow, no, right now, you will take the land deed of Gaonu County to the prince." Xun Zheng had an extra thought at this time, "It is best to make a written statement with the prince to ensure that he is real. To cooperate with us, remember!"

Hearing what Xun Zheng said, Xun Miaoke couldn't agree. Watching Xun Zheng hand over the land deed to Xun Miaoke, the housekeeper on the side could only watch anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.

Xun Miaoke gave the title deed to Zhao Yi, explaining Xun Zheng's intentions, and Zhao Yi wrote a contract without hesitation.

For Zhao Yi, part of the profits from cigarettes and betel nut were exchanged for Gaonu County. The deal was definitely worth it. Anyway, the Xun family only obtained the right to sell, not the right to manufacture. When he wanted to take back the rights of the Xun family, It’s not just a matter of words.

Of course, Zhao Yi's move is not just as simple as letting the Xun family help him sell cigarettes and betel nuts.

But right now, all Zhao Yi's focus is on Gaonu County. After he got the title deed, he immediately ordered Yuhuatian to take people to Gaonu County to find out what good things there are in Gaonu County.

Ten days later, Yu Huatian returned from Gaonu with a look of frustration on his face, "Your Highness, I have searched almost the entire Gaonu County and found nothing good at all."

"Is there nothing?" Zhao Yi was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but soon he was relieved. He only had a little impression. He remembered that Gao Nu had something good, but he couldn't say what it was. Come.

In addition, in this era of Great Qin, even if there are good things, Yuhuatian and the others may not be able to see them. They can only wait until Zhao Yi is free and go to Gaonu in person.

Anyway, at worst, even if there is nothing, Gao Nu's land has become Zhao Yi's, and it can be used for factory buildings or farming in the future, and it is impossible to suffer losses anyway.

Seeing Zhao Yi's indifferent expression, Yu Huatian felt even more guilty, "Your Highness, this old servant really dug three feet into the ground, and that place is also strange. When you dig a few meters deep, black liquid emerges. .”

"The old slave asked the people nearby and said that these things are everywhere in Gaonu. Because of the existence of these things, Gaonu cannot farm. In the old slave's opinion, Gaonu will only be able to farm in the future. Use it to build a factory.”

"What did you say?" Zhao Yi's eyes lit up when he heard Yuhuatian's words, "What do you mean by black liquid? Does Gaonu have that black liquid everywhere? Did you bring it back?"

Seeing Zhao Yi's interest, Yu Huatian nodded again and again, "The old slave came back this time to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to see what the liquid is."

As he said that, as soon as Yuhuatian waved, a guard came forward with a wooden barrel and opened the lid, "His Royal Highness, look, this is the thing, and it still smells bad. It's a good piece of land, and it's all covered by this thing." Wasted!"

Zhao Yi stepped forward, and after seeing the liquid, after a little careful observation, his heart suddenly trembled.

It’s actually oil!Zhao Yi really didn't expect that he really picked up a cornucopia!

"Yuhuatian, immediately mobilize people and surround Gaonu County. Anyone who enters and exits Gaonu County is not allowed to take this thing. Violators will be punished severely. Go!"

Seeing Zhao Yi's ecstatic look, Yuhuatian knew that Zhao Yi must have recognized what the liquid was, so he was finally relieved.

Although he didn't understand why this liquid made Zhao Yi happy, he would be happy as long as it could make his master happy.

Of course Zhao Yi was happy. He signed in every day and got a modern oil refinery a long time ago, but he couldn't find an oil field, so he couldn't build it.

Now that Gao Nu has discovered the oil field, the oil refinery can be built. In the future, after he becomes the Emperor of Great Qin, this Gao Nu oil field will become the place where Zhao Yi lives and lives!
With oil, there is fuel, such as various types of gasoline that can be produced through refineries.

In addition, asphalt can also be produced, which plays a considerable role in the paving of roads in Daqin.

It can also make various lubricants and fertilizers, and even pesticides and plastics. Thinking that these things will become a reality, how can Zhao Yi be unhappy!
