Chapter 953 Meeting Yi Xiaochuan Again
After turning around, Qin Hao took Lu Su and Gao Yao and continued to Xianyang.
Along the way, Gao Yao took the initiative to take on the work of driving and cooking. He was worthy of being a five-star chef, and his skills were not bad. Even if Lu Su was bitten by Qin Haoyang, he was full of praise for the food Gao made. .
As the first "fellow fellow" he met in the Qin Dynasty, Gao Yao had great trust in Qin Hao. Coupled with the financial resources and combat effectiveness Qin Hao showed along the way, Gao Yao decided that if he could not return to modern times, he would If you follow Qin Hao, at least you won't have to be bullied anymore.
After wandering around and enjoying the mountains and rivers, Qin Hao and his party finally arrived in Xianyang.
"Dear me, this is Xianyang City. Our ancestors are so powerful. How did they build such a magnificent city wall?"
Standing outside the gate of Xianyang City, Gao Yao was amazed.
Lu Su was also shocked by the majestic city in front of him, his eyes widened and he stared at it for a long time without blinking.
In fact, it's no wonder they were shocked. The average height of Xianyang City's walls was 7.8 meters, and it had a population of more than half a million. This was just the permanent population. If you add in the migrant population and slaves, it would have been in the millions at least. That's two thousand. Years ago, no other civilization at the same time could have such a large city.
After Qin Hao and his party entered the city, they found an inn to stay at, and Gao Yao couldn't wait to ask.
"Old Qin, what are you going to do with your glass business? Do you want to rent a shop first?"
Seeing Gao Yao being so active, Qin Hao shook his head and said, "There's no rush, there's no rush, we're new here, let's find out the situation in Xianyang first."
Afterwards, Qin Hao took Lu Su to visit the capital of the Qin Dynasty for seven consecutive days, eating, drinking and having fun, basically going wherever the excitement was, Gao Yao finally couldn't help but remind him.
"Old Qin, no matter how rich you are, you can't spend it like this. You will lose it all one day."
Lu Su also nodded with deep understanding, even though the things she bought were basically what she liked.
Qin Hao smiled and said, "Do you really think I'm just hanging out these days?"
"What else?" Gao Yao remembered clearly that Qin Hao took Lu Su out for fun every morning, and sometimes he even helped carry things.
"Do you know which dignitaries there are in Xianyang City, how many princes and nobles there are, and how many wealthy businessmen there are?"
Gao Yao and Lu Su looked at each other blankly and shook their heads in unison.
Qin Hao said sternly, "I'm taking you to visit busy places these days just to find out more information."
"Starting from tomorrow, we will get down to business."
Gao Yao blinked and waited for Qin Hao to continue, but Qin Hao gave up and said, "You will know tomorrow."
Turning around, Qin Hao brought Gao Yao to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Gao Yao looked at the majestic courtyard and felt his feet trembling.
"I haven't even seen this person yet, why are you shaking?" Qin Hao was amused for a while.
Gao Yao held a wooden box and whispered: "This is the prime minister of the current dynasty. The highest government official I have ever seen is the mayor of our town. How many levels is this difference? Can I not be nervous?"
"Don't worry, the officials of the Qin Dynasty can't control us modern people."
"Yeah too."
While they were talking, the butler, who had received a heavy gift, came to the two of them and said, "Mr. Qin, my master has invited you."
"Thank you."
The housekeeper led Qin Hao into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Gao Yao followed quickly and thought about it halfway.
No, I am in the Qin Dynasty now, not modern times. The county magistrate is not as good as the current one, so he started to tremble again.
In the hall, an old man in black official robes sat in the main seat. He looked at Qin Hao for a few times, and then said lightly: "Sit down."
"Where did you get this Tiger Roaring Glass Bottle?"
Gao Yao did not dare to raise his head under Li Si's authority. Qin Hao cupped his hands towards Li Si and replied unhurriedly: "This thing was made by me."
"You said, you made this Tiger Roar Glazed Bottle yourself?" Li Si looked at Qin Hao in surprise.
"Exactly."
"You have such exquisite glaze, you have such skills at a young age, why have you never heard of its true form?" Li Si continued to ask.
Qin Hao pretended to sigh: "My father originally learned this skill from a foreign country. It took ten years of hard work to develop this skill. Unfortunately, I encountered a sandstorm on a business trip to a foreign country. I was still young at the time. , unable to support the business independently, he never dared to show off his skills. It was not until he got married and started a business some time ago that he started making colored glaze again. "
"I see, then why did you give such a precious glass bottle to me?" Li Si said gloomily for a moment.
Qin Hao stood up and bowed to Li Sishen: "I heard that His Majesty's birthday is approaching. Officials at all levels in the Qin Dynasty are preparing birthday gifts for His Majesty. I think the Prime Minister is also worried about what kind of birthday gift to give His Majesty, so I came here to take care of the Prime Minister's worries. ”
"Do you think I need a glass bottle from you?" Li Si sneered, as if he was about to get angry if he disagreed with her, making Gao Yao beside him tremble with fear.
Qin Hao said calmly: "I heard that the Prime Minister has always been law-abiding, kind, thrifty, diligent and caring for the people, so I came here today to relieve the Prime Minister's worries."
Li Si saw that Qin Hao was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was really worried about birthday gifts recently. He was afraid that His Majesty would be unhappy if the gift was too ordinary, but if it was too expensive, he was also afraid of being attacked by political enemies and saying that he was corrupt and perverting the law.
"You are so scheming, let me make a name for you."
Qin Hao took the wooden box from Gao Yao's arms. After opening it, he found another glazed bottle that was no less good than the previous one. Li Si's eyes flashed with surprise.
"How many glass bottles like this can you make in a year?"
"No less than a thousand pieces."
Li Si's eyes lit up. He naturally knew how much such glass bottles were worth. If he could make a thousand pieces a year, it would be a huge fortune. In his early years, Li Si assisted King Qin and naturally only wanted to climb up. But now The six kingdoms were all wiped out by Qin, and he rose to the rank of prime minister, reaching the top of the hierarchy.
Next, except for rebellion, there is no room for improvement. After working hard for so many years, it is time to enjoy it.
In the end, Li Si agreed to donate the glass bottles to Qin Shihuang and help Qin Hao promote Qin's workshop's glass products in Xianyang. The price was that Qin Hao had to send 30% of the profits from the glass factory to the Prime Minister's Mansion every year.
Qin Hao readily agreed. The profits of the Liuli Factory were too great. Without a strong backer, he would soon be targeted by some powerful families. With Li Si as his golden sign, Qin Hao would be able to dominate the Qin Dynasty in the future. Doing business is basically smooth.
Half a month later, on Ying Zheng's birthday, many officials presented him with priceless treasures, but the most outstanding one was the Kowloon glazed bottle presented by Li Si Jin. Ying Zheng couldn't put it down and praised Li Si highly.
Li Si was in a good mood. At the banquet at his house later, he took out the Tiger Roar glazed bottle that Qin Hao gave him, which attracted the guests present to inquire about the origin of the glazed bottle.
Li Si also said it very cooperatively: the signboard of Qin's workshop.
At the same time, Qin Hao and Gao Yao also worked hard for half a month. They rented a shop in the busiest street in Xianyang City. After Qin Hao's design and decoration, they displayed all the glazed products they brought this time. Going up there, even at night, the glazed products on the shelves were shining brightly, attracting an endless stream of guests.
However, since there are not so many products for sale, these glass products are only for display. If you want to buy them, you can only place an order first, and you also need to pay a deposit in advance.
Such a weird way of buying and selling has made "Qin's Workshop" a hot topic in the streets and alleys of Xianyang City for a long time.
But even so, it still attracted a large number of princes, nobles and aristocratic families to place orders. For these people, money is actually no longer important. The harder it is to get something, the more value for money they feel.
There are so many "precious" colored glazes in the shop here in Xianyang, so it is natural to arrange for someone to look after them, and Gao Yao is a good candidate.
At first, Gao Yao disagreed.
"Old Qin, stop making trouble. I'm just a cook. I don't know anything except cooking. If you ask me to be the general manager, I can't do it."
Qin Hao persuaded: "In our shop, you don't need to go out and shout. The customers will come by themselves. You just need to entertain the guests well and not offend others. Besides, I can see your progress these days. You have to believe in yourself." ability.”
"But."
"Stop it, think about it, if we can't go back to modern times, we have to live on, right? Do you still want to live like before, where you were ordered around?"
Finally, under Qin Hao's persuasion, Gao Yao agreed to stay in Xianyang.
Qin Hao took Lu Su back to Shanfu County.
This time I definitely won’t be able to go back as slowly as I did before. Fortunately, everything was left in Xianyang, so it’s not too difficult to travel by car.
By the time Qin Hao and Lu Su returned to Shanfu County, it was already half a year after they set out.
Lu Gong was very happy to see Qin Hao and Lu Su. After a while of greetings, he rushed downstairs with great interest and said: "Go and invite Mr. Yi here."
"I would like to introduce you to a young talent. To be precise, he is also the savior of our family. If Mr. Yi hadn't been here this time, your sister and I would have been in danger."
Lu Su was shocked when he heard this and quickly asked what was going on.
"A month ago, I took Zhi'er to Peixian County to visit a friend. I also planned to open up connections with Peixian County to facilitate the sale of colored glaze in the future. However, I never thought that I would encounter bandits on the way. Fortunately, Mr. Yi arrived in time. , fought off the bandits for us, but he was injured, so I left him here to recuperate."
Qin Hao frowned, why did this plot sound so familiar? Mr. Yi? Could it be that Yi Xiaochuan was cheating?
As a result, at this moment, Lu Pheasant came over with a familiar figure.
Depend on! This guy is really Yi Xiaochuan.
When Yi Xiaochuan saw Qin Hao, his expression was also very vivid: "Is it you?"
As if he was afraid that Qin Hao would forget him, he ran to Qin Hao again and pointed at his nose: "Brother, it's me. You forgot that you were on the execution ground that day. I thought he was the one who was tied up during the filming. "
Qin Hao was speechless for a while. This guy was really haunting. He originally thought that he had solved the Lu family's dilemma and the Lu family sisters would not encounter Yi Xiaochuan, but he didn't expect to be entangled by this guy.
"Oh, I remember, fellow." Qin Hao tightened Yi Xiaochuan's arm.
The latter was quite smart and understood immediately: "You finally remembered. I was afraid you would forget me."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu immediately called his servants: "Hurry and prepare for the banquet. Today is not only a ceremony for the virtuous son-in-law, but it is also rare that Mr. Yi is a fellow kinsman of the virtuous son-in-law. It is a double happiness."
Lü Su looked at Yi Xiaochuan curiously, and there was a hint of surprise in Lü Zhi's eyes when she looked at Yi Xiaochuan. Since Qin Hao married Lü Su, she has been dissatisfied and wanted to find a better husband than Qin Hao, so as not to be outdone by her sister.
But the ones she met were all crooked, until she met Yi Xiaochuan that day. Lü Zhi immediately decided that this was the good match given to her by God, so after Yi Xiaochuan was injured, she simply took him home to recuperate, and even ignored the business.
"Brother, where did you go after that day? You didn't wait for me. I was almost beheaded that day. Fortunately, my cell phone alarm rang, otherwise the executioner would have cut off my head with one knife." Yi Xiaochuan kept complaining to Qinha at the wine table.
Qin Hao did not answer but asked: "Then how did you escape?"
"My cell phone rang, and those people thought I was a monster, so they threw me into the cell. Later, there was a commotion in the cell, so I followed them and escaped." Yi Xiaochuan said depressedly.
"As a result, there were wanted posters for me all along the way. Fortunately, the painting was not very similar, so I stole a set of clothes and changed into them, so no one recognized me."
Yi Xiaochuan showed the photos in his phone to Qin Hao.
"You see, I came from this box. I asked someone to see the words on the box. It's Tang Wushan. I think as long as we find Tang Wushan, we should be able to go home."
Qin Hao acted very calmly, and Yi Xiaochuan was a little puzzled: "Brother, don't you want to go home?"
"Why do you want to go back?" Qin Hao asked back.
"This is the Qin Dynasty, more than 2,000 years ago, and it was so barbaric, killing people at every turn."
"Will there be no deaths in modern society?"
"But there is no air conditioning, no computer, and even no Internet here. I can't live a day like this." Yi Xiaochuan complained.
"Then you can find a way to go back. I think it's pretty good here." Qin Hao didn't intend to have any dealings with Yi Xiaochuan, this scumbag. This guy is simply possessed by Ding Hai. Those who are kind to him have no good end in the end, while those who have grudges against him live well.
The two people's whispered discussions aroused the curiosity of Lu Gong's family. Facing the inquiries of Lu Gong and Lu Zhi, Yi Xiaochuan just found a reason to fool them.
Qin Hao whispered to Lu Su: "This is a long story. I'll tell you when I get home."
"Yeah."
After this period of getting along, Lu Su has 100% trust in Qin Hao.
"Master Yi, since you and my son-in-law are from the same hometown, why don't you just stay in the Lu Mansion? I believe that with Master Yi's intelligence, he will definitely achieve great things."
