Chapter 954 Free Labor Is Wasted
Yi Xiaochuan said nonchalantly to Lu Gong's request: "I don't plan to stay here, I'm going home."
"There's no rush for this." Lu Gong was a little embarrassed.
Yi Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "I'm eager to go home now, I don't want to stay in this damn place for a minute longer."
Lv Zhi's heart fell to the bottom of the valley. She finally met a man of her dreams who could compare with Qin Hao, and she was really unwilling to let Yi Xiaochuan slip away from her.
"Mr. Yi, as the saying goes, a man's ambition is to go far and wide. You can wait until you are successful and famous before going back."
Yi Xiaochuan waved his hand: "What's the use of being successful and famous? My family can't see it. Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Hao again: "Brother, are you sure you don't want to go back with me?"
Qin Hao laughed secretly. If he wanted to travel through time, it would be easy, but if Yi Xiaochuan wanted to go back, it would be difficult. I remember in the original drama, he took the elixir of immortality and survived for more than two thousand years to survive to the modern times.
Lv Su frowned and said: "Mr. Yi, my husband said he doesn't want to go back with you, don't force him anymore."
Although Lu Su didn't know where Yi Xiaochuan was going back to, she could vaguely feel that if Qin Hao went back, she would never see him again.
The always delicate Lu Su was like a lioness at this moment, showing her fangs to Yi Xiaochuan, the guy who tried to break up their couple.
Even Qin Hao was a little surprised. He held Lu Su's trembling little hand and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, your husband will not leave you."
Yi Xiaochuan was disappointed and had no choice but to say goodbye and go back to his room to pack up his things.
Qin Hao also left Lu Su's house with Lu Su.
Lv Gong saw that Lu Zhi was unhappy, so he patted her shoulder and said seriously, "Chi'er, do you like this Mr. Yi?"
"I can't say I like him, but I have some good feelings for him. Daddy, do you think that the people there are as handsome as my brother-in-law and Mr. Yi?" Lu Zhi propped up her chin and said sullenly.
Lu Gong laughed: "A place that can produce two such people is already a place of outstanding people and good fortune. How can all of them be like this?"
"Zhi'er, I understand your thoughts, but listen to my father's advice, this Master Yi is not a good man."
Lu Zhi was a little unconvinced: "How does my father know that Master Yi is not a good man? I think he is free and easy, very graceful."
"It is because he is too free and easy that my father said he is not suitable to be your husband. Think about it, at the banquet just now, your brother-in-law I am afraid that your sister will worry, so I have made it clear that I will not return home. What did Master Yi do? He does things without considering other people's feelings. He does things his own way. He is not a good man. "
"Is it a bit arbitrary for Daddy to say so?"
"How about this, let's make a bet. If you can keep Master Yi tomorrow, I will let him be my son-in-law. If you can't keep him, I will choose another good son-in-law for you. How about that?"
"Okay, it's a deal!" Lu Zhi was still very confident in her beauty.
So, that night, she found an excuse to practice for Yi Xiaochuan, prepared a table of wine and food, and invited Yi Xiaochuan to drink.
As a result, Lu Zhi got drunk first, and Yi Xiaochuan was still alive and well. When Lu Zhi woke up the next morning, she found herself sleeping in Yi Xiaochuan's bed, but Yi Xiaochuan had disappeared.
Lv Zhi thought Yi Xiaochuan had abandoned her after having an affair with her, so she rode on her horse to chase him. As a result, she chased him all the way to Pei County, but not only did she not catch Yi Xiaochuan, she was also entangled by a gangster who insisted on marrying her. Lv Zhi was so angry that she picked up the whip and beat the gangster severely.
Unexpectedly, the gangster was actually a pavilion chief. His brothers surrounded Lv Zhi and escorted her to the government.
Fortunately, Lv Zhi knew that her father was a good friend of the magistrate of Pei County, so she revealed her identity. When the magistrate of Pei County heard that she was the daughter of an old friend, his face changed immediately and severely reprimanded the pavilion chief Liu Bang. Lv Zhi was able to get away. However, after this incident, Lv Zhi gave up chasing Yi Xiaochuan and returned to Shanfu County.
It was only after Lv Zhi complained to Lv Su after she came back that Qin Hao knew there was such a farce.
After all, Lu Su was already a married woman, and she knew something about the relationship between men and women. After asking Lu Zhi about some situations, she told her that Yi Xiaochuan did not do anything to her.
Lu Zhi asked suspiciously: "How do you know he didn't do that?"
"Well, you'll know when my sister gets married." Some scenes that are not suitable for children appeared in Lu Su's mind.
"Humph, my sister is now avoiding me, and we are not as open as before." Lu Zhi was very dissatisfied with Lu Su's half-said and half-left.
Lu Su had no choice but to whisper in Lu Zhi's ear.
Lu Zhi blushed instantly, lowered her head and kept silent.
After Qin Hao came back, Qin's workshop expanded its scale while working overtime to catch up with production. Although one thousand pieces of glass products a year were not too large, according to Qin Hao's quality control requirements, plus the loss of transportation along the way, at least tens of thousands of glass products had to be produced a year to meet the requirements.
Soon, the first batch of 500 glasswares were sent to Xianyang. According to the letter sent by Gao Yao, the orders from Xianyang were already full, and many wealthy families almost moved the glasswares in the showroom away.
According to the previous agreement, Qin Hao handed over some of the glass products to the Lu family for sale. Lu Zhi, who had something to do, also came out of his "broken love" and began to run the Lu family's glass shop.
At this time, the news from Xianyang has not yet come. The sale of colored glaze in Lu's shop is entirely due to its exquisite shape and excellent production technology.
In Shanfu County alone, many aristocratic families were vying to buy it, including the Cao family, who had previously had issues with the Lu family.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and the colored glaze from Qin's workshop has become popular in the upper class society of the Qin Dynasty. Many aristocratic families will place a beautiful colored glaze ornament in a conspicuous place in the front hall, which has become a symbol of status.
The Lu family also made a lot of money from the Liuli Shop, and it also allowed Lu Gong to make friends with some people who could not reach high levels before. Of course, Lu Gong's own all-round and exquisite appearance and his ability to meet people also played a big role. Good effect.
As for Lu Pheasant, he has been completely immersed in the joy of making money and cannot extricate himself. Yi Xiaochuan, how can he be happy by making money?
For Qin Hao, making money is just a basic operation. There is one thing worth celebrating, that is Lu Su's pregnancy.
Judging by the time, it was already three months. Maybe it was due to her physical condition. Lu Su suffered from severe morning sickness during pregnancy. After three months, she started to have an appetite, so Qin Hao tried his best to make delicious food for her.
On this day, Qin Hao was making braised lamb chops for Lu Su in the kitchen when he suddenly heard from his servant that an old friend was visiting.
Qin Haozheng was wondering if Yi Xiaochuan, the cheater, had come back again. When he arrived in the front hall, he found that it was Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew.
"Haha, brother Qin, you call me easy to find." Xiang Yu stepped forward and gave Qin Hao a bear hug.
Qin Hao was a little confused, why did the uncle and nephew come to him if they were not well prepared to rebel against the great cause.
As a result, Qin Hao didn't know until the food and wine were served that these two people came to him to raise military funds.
Rebellion definitely requires money, and lots of money.
Qin Hao was really confused about whether to support Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew. There was no doubt that Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew's rebellion would definitely succeed. As a gravedigger of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu also practiced the "Three Households of Chu" The oath that if Qin is destroyed, Chu will surely die."
However, Xiang Yu is a bit of a trap. In terms of bravery, he must be the most powerful general in the late Qin Dynasty. However, in terms of strategic vision, this guy is too bad. He could have replaced the Qin Dynasty and established hegemony, but in the end, this guy insisted on enfeoffing. The unified dynasty that Qin Shihuang finally unified was torn apart.
Seemingly seeing Qin Hao's hesitation, Xiang Liang thought he was afraid that the uprising would not succeed, so he said: "Qin's laws are strict. Now the world has been suffering from Qin for a long time. Even the old Qin people are quite critical. In addition, Recently, the King of Qin has been arrogant and extravagant, and has ordered the people to build palaces and mausoleums for his own benefit. If someone can raise his voice and raise his voice, he will surely attract the heroes of the world to respond, and Qin will be destroyed!"
Qin Hao pretended to be convinced: "General Xiang's words are shocking. Qin agreed to the military expenditure. However, now that Yingzheng is still alive and the people of Qin are united, starting an uprising at this time is tantamount to "It is better to hibernate for a while than to strike a stone with an egg, and then you can accomplish something by slowly trying to figure it out."
Xiang Yu was unhappy when he heard this: "Brother Qin, according to what you said, how long do we have to wait?"
"Ji'er must not be rude. I think what brother Qin said is true. Now the hearts of the old Qin people are still towards Ying Zheng. If you want to succeed, you really need to take a long-term approach." After Xiang Liang stopped Xiang Yu, he rushed to Qin Hao again. Hand over.
"I don't know when Brother Qin thinks it's the right time to start an incident. How should we prepare now?"
After Qin Hao pondered for a moment, he said sternly: "When Ying Zheng dies, it is the best time to start an uprising. However, Qin suggested not to be the first in everything and let others do it first. When the world's heroes gather together, I When an incident breaks out, the Qin army will not be able to keep an eye on each other. Then it is time for us to take advantage of the situation and rise up."
"As for now, I plan to form a escort team and would like to invite Brother Xiang to join. I don't know what will happen."
Xiang Yu subconsciously wanted to refuse. He came to raise money to form an army, not to serve as a guard, but Xiang Liang stopped him.
"Brother Qin's escort must be more than just a guard, right?"
Qin Hao said sternly: "Nowadays, Qin's law is very strict. If you violate it even slightly, your whole family will sit together. Many people can only hide in the mountains and become mountain people, and some brave people will become bandits."
"It is absolutely impossible to start an uprising now. Why not take the opportunity to subdue these grassroots bandits and train them. When the time is right, we can gather these forces together. Why worry about not being able to accomplish something great by then?"
Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu looked at each other and were both moved by the beautiful blueprint drawn by Qin Hao.
"Brother Qin, this plan is very clever."
Qin Hao secretly rejoiced: "So, Brother Xiang has agreed to be the captain of the guard?"
Bai De has such a strong fighting ability, and Xiang Liang is a brave and resourceful strategist. The key is that he doesn't have to spend a penny, it's perfect.
Of course, for Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew, this is indeed a good opportunity to strengthen themselves.
After the two parties reached a consensus, it was natural that they had to drink heavily. Uncle Xiang Liang's drinking capacity was naturally very good in the Qin Dynasty, but when he encountered an old man like Qin Hao who was "drinking on the battlefield", he could only stop eating.
When they woke up the next day, it was already noon.
Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew are both resolute and resolute, so they immediately stepped into their roles and began to help Qin Hao form a escort team.
To the outside world, the colored glaze from Qin's workshop is worth a lot of money, so it makes sense to set up a convoy to escort it. In addition, the Shanfu County Magistrate collected the money and turned a blind eye, so naturally everything was unimpeded, and soon He recruited fifty young and strong men.
Originally, Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew planned to train these guards according to their methods, but Qin Hao changed all the training items on the grounds that they were training military stuff and it was too eye-catching.
At first, Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew were very disdainful of Qin Hao's daily training method of standing at attention and turning left and right. But after a week, Xiang Liang was surprised to find that the original chaotic rabble had a completely new mental outlook.
Although these guards don't know how to fight at all, and some have never even held a knife, they already look like a warrior capable of hundreds of battles.
Xiang Yu still dismissed this, thinking that such a guy would be scared out of his wits even if he encountered a bandit, let alone a war.
Qin Hao did not refute, because what Xiang Yu said was not unreasonable. These guards were indeed superficial, but Qin Hao immediately started the second stage of training.
"Strike, collect, scatter, gather."
A month later, in the training ground, as Qin Hao issued instructions one after another, the uniform movements of the fifty guards present made Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew stunned.
Especially Xiang Yu. He grew up among generals and was trained by Xiang Liang with all his efforts. He naturally knows what a good soldier is.
"It won't show anything. If you have the ability, let them compete with me to see if they are just a show-off."
Qin Hao walked up to the high platform and shouted: "Did you all hear that? The guard captain said that you are just a show-off. Do you want him to take back his words?"
"Take it back!"
"Take it back!"
Xiang Yu let out a long laugh: "Xiang always speaks with spit and nail. If I want Xiang to take it back, okay, you guys come together and defeat me first."
Qin Hao said loudly: "Then I will add another bonus, and the winner will get a hundred gold!"
"Captain, don't blame the brothers for being rude!"
There must be brave men under the heavy reward. In addition, these guards were trained by Xiang Yu a lot on weekdays. They had already held their breath in their hearts and rushed toward Xiang Yu like wolves.
At first, Xiang Yu defeated several guards relatively easily, but as the guards began to cooperate with each other, Xiang Yu's movement space was gradually reduced. Finally, at the cost of more than a dozen guards falling to the ground, Xiang Yu was successfully pinned to the ground.
Xiang Yu was defeated, but Xiang Liang applauded.
"Haha, brother Qin, these fifty people can serve as five thousand elite soldiers."
