My Brother Daqin No. 1 Dude

Chapter 115 Qin Shihuang Shocked!The ministers are puzzled! 【Ask monthly ticket】

When the first emperor saw Fu Zikang's posture, he immediately understood what Fu Zikang meant.

What's up with this lately?
Why is it that everyone wants me to back off and talk about secrets...

The first emperor looked at Fu Zikang, who was tall and thin, and his walk was fluffy, he didn't look like a martial artist.

Turning her head to Gai Nie, Meng Yi, Wang Wan, Li Si, and Zhao Gao who were following her, she said, "I am alone with Fu Zikang..."

"Nie will follow." Gai Nie said coldly without waiting for the first emperor to finish speaking.

The last time Gai Nie was not there, the Emperor Shi Huang was attacked by Ying Chengxue, which left a big shadow in Gai Nie's heart.

Gai Nie now looks like everyone is going to sneak attack the first emperor, he seems to have the paranoia of the first emperor being persecuted.

He now attaches great importance to the safety of the First Emperor.

Everyone, including the First Emperor, looked at Gai Nie in surprise. Obviously, they did not expect that Gai Nie, who had always supported Fu Zikang, was the first to object.

Fu Zikang looked at Gai Nie, thought for a while, thinking that Gai Nie had been in the Chang'an Emperor's Mansion, and Gai Nie should have seen all the things that Ying Chengxun made, so he nodded.

"can."

"Jun Chang'an's wealth is really an eye-opener for Si, and this is nothing more than a miracle."

Li Si first praised Ying Chengxu, then turned his head to Fu Zikang and said in a deep voice: "Earlier, Fu Zhi Su Nei Shi made it clear in the Yizheng Hall that the money sent by Chang'an Lord for Zhi Su Nei Shi's Mansion was enough to build Chi Road. Now It can be seen that although the money here is huge, it is only five years of military pay. Fu Zhisu Neishi deceived His Majesty so much, I don’t know what this means?"

Fu Zikang glanced at Emperor Shi, then peeked at Li Si, bowed his head and said nothing.

But the meaning is obvious - Ge Nie can follow, but you, Li Si, can't.

Li Si was a little angry in his heart.

Si is now Prime Minister Zuo, and you are so negligent when talking to you.

Meng Yi's eyes have been staring straight since he arrived at Zhisunaishi's Mansion.

He had just learned from his father Meng Wu that Ying Chengxun could make colored glaze, and today he saw money that was five times the military salary of Qin State last year.

The shining golden light of the gold almost blinded his eyes, and the visual impact was full.

"Your Excellency, this is really five times the military salary? Couldn't Lord Chang'an be able to support the 60 troops of the Great Qin Dynasty for five years with his own strength?"

The internal historian didn't pay attention to what Fu Zikang said, and was still pulling Wang Wan to confirm the amount of money here.

"Indeed."

Wang Wan was startled while answering.

Lord Chang'an's magic is back?

As for Zhao Gao, he always served him respectfully.

When the first emperor didn't want him to speak, he didn't speak, and he was just a tool man.

"You wait here, Gai Nie will go with me." Shi Huangdi made a final decision.

Fu Zikang left behind the respectful Zhao Gao, the annoyed Li Si, the stunned Meng Yi, and the frightened Wang Wan.

He led Shi Huangdi and Gai Nie to twist and turn, and walked into a small warehouse that only he could enter.

This small warehouse occupies an extremely small area, not as big as the office buildings of those officials of the Zhisunai Shifu, only about ten square meters in size.

Although the storeroom door was not big, there were seven large locks hanging on the small door. The chains of each lock were as thick as an arm. On the surface, this small door was completely entangled with those iron chains.

"Is this place able to save military pay for five years?"

The first emperor looked at the warehouse door and knew the approximate size of the warehouse, so he was suspicious.

Even if this warehouse is full of gold, it is only about 60 gold.

One gold is worth a thousand dollars, that is [-] million dollars.

The ten-year military salary is about 120 billion yuan, and the five-year military salary is about 60 billion yuan.

Although 60 million yuan is also a huge number, compared with [-] billion yuan, it is ten times the difference, and it is still far away.

"Of course."

Fu Zikang nodded uncontrollably, took out a large bunch of keys, and began to open the seven locks on the warehouse door.

Seeing this, Shi Huang didn't say anything anymore, and watched Fu Zikang open the door quietly.

He thought to himself: This scorpion must be the colored glaze stuffed into a warehouse for me, right?Even so, if he was able to spend enough money to build half of Chidao, that Zhu Zi had made a great contribution.The number of colored glazes on the market hasn't increased a lot these years, so where did Shu Zi get so much money?

……

The sound of the seven large lock bolts colliding with the lock body was clear and pleasant, and Fu Zikang opened the seven locks in a row.

"Your Majesty, step back a little."

"Withdraw some?"

"Of course."

Is it because I'm afraid that the contents inside will hurt me?

Could it be that the warehouse is closed with living things?

What kind of exotic beast?
Mysterious bird?

Dragon?

The first emperor took two steps back in doubt.

"Your Majesty, please take another five steps."

"..."

The First Emperor had already been aroused by Fu Zikang's curiosity, and took another five steps back.

Fu Zikang nodded, and then opened the warehouse door.

When he opened the warehouse door, he kept standing at the door and moved with the warehouse door.

In the eyes of the first emperor full of anticipation.

What caught his eyes was not glittering gold, nor colorful glazed vessels, nor was it the mysterious bird or dragon that he had just thought of.

Instead, a handful of ashes thrown out.

The ashes seemed to have been firmly blocked in the storeroom by the door, but now that the door was lost, all the ashes rushed out at once, as if a hundred people in the house threw a lump of soil at the first emperor at the same time.

"retreat!"

The first emperor hadn't reacted yet.

Gai Nie gently pulled Shi Huang back with his left hand, and with his right hand drew out the sword around his waist to block Shi Huang in front of him.

The sword master in white danced like a thousand swords at the same time, and his posture was extremely gorgeous.

The invisible and intangible sword energy showed its form in the dust, making all the flying dust fall as if hitting an invisible wall.

After five breaths, all the flying dust has been knocked down by Ge Nie.

嚓～
The white-clothed swordsman put his sword back into its sheath, his clothes were still white, spotless and not stained.

The First Emperor narrowed his eyes, stepped on the dust on the ground and walked to Fu Zikang, who was still standing at the door, and said calmly: "You said that it is the soil that can cover five years' military salary."

Fu Zikang nodded, then shook his head, the ashes on his crown couldn't stop sliding down.

Although he had been hiding at the door just now, he didn't have a sword master to protect him after all, and some dust still fell on his body, and he looked disheartened.

"This thing is not soil, it's cement."

Shi Huang didn't lose his temper, even though it seemed so ridiculous, he didn't look annoyed at all.

"Cement? It's the first time I've heard of this name."

The First Emperor looked at the cement piled to the top in the warehouse, took two quick steps, and reached out to grab it.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute."

Fu Zikang hurriedly stopped him.

"Ok?"

The First Emperor looked back at Fu Zikang, who was so frightened that Fu Zikang immediately withdrew his hand.

"This thing burns your hands, Your Majesty should not touch it directly."

"Burning hands? How can this thing burn hands if it's not a flame?"

Shi Huang heard more and more strange things today, and his tone became calmer.

If Zhao Gao was here, he would know that Emperor Shihuang was already angry, but he just held back.

"I don't know, it was Lord Chang'an who said it. I saw Lord Chang'an put a pig into the lime with his own eyes. A day later, the pig's skin was red and swollen, with burn marks, and it cracked when exposed to water."

"...You said that this object was sent by that scorpion? He said this, what is it called?"

"cement."

"He said that this cement can be worth five years of military pay?! Is that how Zhu Zi fooled me?"

When Ying Zheng heard that it was sent by Ying Chengxun, his calm expression disappeared, and he burst into anger and flew into a rage.

The First Emperor stomped his feet angrily, dust was everywhere, and the black bird on the crown suit he was wearing seemed to be in the clouds.

Gai Nie looked at Yingzheng's cement-stained crown uniform with a blank expression on his face.

Waste my sword.

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, Rong Chen will cover up the wonderful use of this thing for Your Majesty." Seeing that the First Emperor was angry, Fu Zikang said hastily.

The First Emperor watched it coldly.

"I remember correctly, you were recommended by that Zhuzi?"

"Yes, Lord Chang'an treated his ministers with great kindness. When the minister was about to starve to death, it was Lord Chang'an who took him in. He gave the surname Fu and the name Zikang."

When it comes to Ying Chengxu, although Fu Zikang still looks a little timid.

But the tone is obviously much firmer, and the eyes are full of reverence.

During the Qin Dynasty, many people did not have surnames, and surnames can only be had by noble people.

Wooden slip No. 11 of Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Bamboo Slips, which are Jing and Heifu brothers' letter to their elder brother, the three are brothers.

Even the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty didn't have surnames. It can be seen from this that people with surnames in the Qin Dynasty at least had a certain status.

It was an extremely honorable thing in the Qin Dynasty for Ying Chengxu to give Zikang a surname.

"Then why don't you speak for Cheng Yu above the court?"

"Jun Chang'an doesn't need words from his ministers."

The First Emperor narrowed his eyes, and said in a dangerous voice, "Then if Cheng Xu wants you to speak."

"The minister will speak."

Ying Zheng looked at this important minister who admitted frankly, lived in the temple, and was one of the nine ministers, and said coldly: "You eat my salary, and you are loyal to me, and you are not loyal."

"Zikang is indeed not loyal to His Majesty. Zikang's internal history of managing millet is like managing accounts in the Chang'an Lord's house. Lord Chang'an recommends Zikang to be an internal history of millet. From Zikang's point of view, he is serving Lord Chang'an. Your Majesty If you think Zikang is not good, then Zikang will resign and go back to work as the accountant of the Chang'an Lord's Mansion."

Fu Zikang didn't even address him, which shows that he really intends to resign.

"My Jiuqing, isn't he as good as a accountant in that Zhuzi's mansion?"

"Zhisu Neishi is two thousand shi a year, and the salary is more from His Majesty..."

Ying Zheng looked at Fu Zikang's body cowering, but his eyes were firm. It was hard to understand why Fu Zikang dared to talk to him like this even though he was clearly afraid of him.

"The ruler of the Great Qin Jiuqing, Su Neishi, is loyal to Chengxu, not to me. Do you know that I can kill you just for this one!"

There was fear in Fu Zikang's eyes, but he said: "Mr. Chang'an said, as long as you tell the truth to His Majesty, Your Majesty will not kill me. As long as you manage your accounts well, no matter what you think in your heart, Your Majesty won't bother to care about me."

"Humph!"

The First Emperor let out a cold snort, but the murderous aura just now dissipated completely with this cold snort.

"That Zhuzi has been stubborn all these years, and he prefers to watch people's hearts. He actually used this trick on me. It's really presumptuous! Fu Zikang, now is the time for you to atone for your allegiance to the lord."

"If you can prove that the ashes you call cement can cover five years of military pay, I will not blame you and Ying Chengyu today. If you can't, you two have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will go to the execution ground."

Fu Zikang was still afraid at the beginning, after listening to the whole story of the first emperor, he breathed a sigh of relief, and replied relaxedly: "Wei."

When the First Emperor saw Fu Zikang's confident expression, he knew that there must be something strange about this cement.

Taking advantage of Fu Zikang's busy schedule, he couldn't help squatting down to look at the cement carefully.

But the first emperor looked around, but didn't see any tricks. He thought it was gray soil.

He wanted to grab it with his hands, and then thought of the burning hands that Fu Zikang just said...

"Genie."

"The minister is here."

"You grab some cement and see what's odd."

"..."

Gai Nie had no expression on his face, and looked at Shi Huangdi with the kind of eyes that you think I am stupid.

"If this is Zhao Gao, he will arrest you. You are not as loyal to me as Zhao Gao."

Ge Nie was silent for three breaths.

"What did His Majesty want me to do?"

"Grab some cement and see what's odd."

Ge Nie was silent for another three breaths.

"What did His Majesty want me to do?"

"Catch some... Ge Nie, you are getting bolder now, how dare you tease me!"

"It's His Majesty's decree that I want my minister's memory to deteriorate, and I can't remember all the words I've read. I dare not disobey."

"I speak words, words can be remembered!"

Gai Nie was silent for three breaths again: "What did His Majesty just say?"

"……nothing."

"only."

I didn't even give an order, you are "only" a fart!

The first emperor felt that Zhao Gao was more suitable for carrying out the order of the seal.

It doesn't matter if the memorial is approved slowly, it is very important not to be mad at death.

The effort of two people talking.

Fu Zikang had prepared all the items.

On the ground was half a basin of clear water, a shovel, half a basin of stones, and half a basin of yellow sand.

Right in front of the first emperor, Fu Zikang first shoveled half a spade of cement and put it on the ground, then piled yellow sand on the cement with half a spade, and piled stones on the yellow sand with a half spade.

Then Fu Zikang picked up the ladle, and while pouring clear water on the mixture of cement, yellow sand, and stones, he used the shovel to mix it back and forth.

But Fu Zikang probably hadn't done similar work before, causing yellow sand, cement, and stones to scatter everywhere.

Shi Huang looked at it for a moment, frowned, and saw that Fu Zikang wanted to mix these three together.

So he grabbed the shovel from Fu Zikang's hand and started it himself.

Fu Zikang exclaimed, "Your Majesty, how could you do such a thing!"

The First Emperor said impatiently: "If you do well, will I be willing to do it?"

The first emperor gathered the three together and stirred them back and forth. He was much better than Fu Zikang.

After stirring it, Emperor Shi Huang felt that it was no longer sticky, so he asked without raising his head, "Should we still add water?"

"Oh? Oh! Yes yes yes! Add water add water!"

Fu Zikang looked a little dazed, and was awakened by Emperor Shi Huang's words, and hurriedly scooped up water with a ladle, and poured it slowly.

While pouring water, Fu Zikang hesitated to speak.

"If you want to ask, just ask, have you lost the courage to say that you are not loyal to me?"

Fu Zikang said cautiously: "Your Majesty has known cement for a long time? Have you ever mixed this thing?"

The First Emperor still didn't raise his head, and continued to stir the mixture of cement, yellow sand, and stones, and said naturally: "No, but this is no different from mud. When I was young, I lived in Zhao State with my mother, and the houses were always destroyed by Zhao people. Always fill it with mud, if you don’t fill it, you and your mother will suffer from the cold.”

"Haha, thanks to Heni's good skills, those Zhao dogs can repair me no matter how they tear them apart. My mother and I have been woken up twice by freezing. I dare not say that I am the best in the world in governing the country, but Heni, no one in this world Can be stronger than me."

Fu Zikang listened to Shi Huangdi's smug words, and unknowingly, he was a little stunned again.

His eyes were a little misty, he never thought about the mighty First Emperor, the ruler of the world.

What I am most proud of is not governing the country, but making peace with the mud...

"Dazed again? Add water!"

The first emperor found out that they were not sticky again after dating for a while, looked up and found that Fu Zikang had deserted again, and said impatiently.

"Who in the world has never been frozen, why should you cry if I have been frozen? Don't think that if you cry, I won't punish you. If the cement can't pay for five years of military pay later, you will still be beheaded."

Fu Zikang poured water while weeping.

His tears were mixed with clear water, and flowed into the mixture of cement, stones, and yellow sand along the shovel wielded by the first emperor.

The Daqin Zhisu Neishi who was loyal to Ying Chengxu said with a sob voice: "Your Majesty will not be disappointed!"

"...That's good, the road is hopeful, and the country will be forever, so that there will be no one in the world who suffers from the cold."
