201, Chapter 201
The emperor was relatively speechless. He didn't ask about the origin of his name, okay? Why is it that when I see him in person, he is more verbose than the memorial? "What kind of BMW is so good? A bloody BMW?"
Qin Fang shook his head: "No, the prince said it is worse than a sweaty horse, but it is still good."
"Your Majesty?" The emperor narrowed his eyes again. As an emperor, I hate ministers forming cliques the most. He is optimistic about Du Ke because Du Ke is sensible and will not form gangs.
Qin Fang stood up and said with a bright smile: "It's Prince Yong, Hou. The year before last, when we were at the border, the young master of the prince's family was kidnapped by barbarians. Weichen offered his advice and saved the young master, so the prince thanked Weichen. A BMW as a gift." He said it openly, smiling without any fuss and looking honest.
The emperor's doubts and suspicions were suppressed again.
The emperor was about to say something, but then Qin Fang added: "That horse is very valuable, worth hundreds of taels of silver. At that time, Wei Chen had no money, so Wei Chen wanted to sell it for money, but Wei Chen couldn't bear it."
The Emperor: "..." He was nagging endlessly, but listening to this man's nagging made me feel like I was enjoying it. The emperor snorted and said very grandly: "It's not a horse with blood, and naturally it's not a good horse. If you like it, I'll give you a horse with blood." Although it's not much, his horse stable I also raised several horses. However, when the words came out, his body ached. Even if there are several horses, they are not many.
Qin Fang felt happy and said, "Really?"
The emperor thought to himself, doesn’t this man know how to be polite? However, looking at his happy look, it's okay to think about it. Qin Fang doesn't know anything about it. What does he care about? "You have no joke."
Qin Fang asked again: "Can the emperor give me two horses?"
"What did you say?" The emperor's eyes widened. How could he bargain? Looking at the imperial court, who would dare to ask for something like this?
Qin Fang explained: "Weichen thought that if the two horses were one male and one female, Weichen could breed a few small horses for the emperor. If there is only one horse, it must be matched. There will definitely be no pure horses. Well done.”
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched a few times. He wanted to say it was vulgar, but he endured it: "Okay, let's go back and see if there is a male and a female." He really endured it for his horse farm. "Let's stop the horse thing and tell us about the other four benefits." In case he doesn't have to ask for feed in addition to the horse.
Qin Fang: "..." He really wants to beg for feed, because he doesn't have the feed to raise a sweaty horse at home. However, he decided to ask the emperor for help when he left. He thought the emperor was quite generous, so he probably wouldn't care. Then he went on to the second point. Qin Fang stretched out two fingers, "If the other party is not because of Wei Chen's status as a Yunxiang County guard, then it may be the second benefit, the Qin family's status as a royal grain franchisee. However, Wei Chen can't figure it out either. Weichenjia is on a trial basis, and we don’t know whether it’s good or bad. If the other party comes for the Huangliang franchisee status, they should wait for a year and see Weichenjia’s profitability before deciding. Moreover, with so many Huangliang franchisees, Why come after Wei Chen? So Wei Chen thinks that the possibility is not high, don’t you think so, Your Majesty?”
Naturally, the emperor would not agree with his words. If he did, he estimated that Qin Fang would be in trouble: "What about the third benefit?"
Qin Fang didn't care whether the emperor would be attached to him or not. He held out three fingers and said, "The third benefit is that the other party may be aiming at the teacher, but if he can't defeat the teacher, he will attack me first."
The Emperor: "..." He felt that he was a fool after listening to Qin Fang's analysis.
Qin Fang continued: "Although Wei Chen has not yet entered the court, Wei Chen is now an official of the court. At any rate, he knows that you and I fight fiercely in the court, and intrigues are hard to guard against. So if we can't fight against the teacher, we will fight against Wei. "
The Emperor: "...What benefit is this?"
Qin Fang's eyes widened: "Of course it's a profit point, using the humble minister to threaten or irritate the teacher. Zhuo Jing said that scaring people will scare them to death. If this person irritates people, he should also irritate them to death, right? No matter how hard it is, he can scare people to death. Excitingly sick.”
The Emperor: "..." Three sentences are true, Qin Fang is soft-eared and henpecked. However, the emperor likes such ministers. It is good if the ministers have weaknesses. If they do not have weaknesses, they will not be good to the other party. This characteristic of Qin Fang also shows how much he values his wife.
Qin Fang then extended his fourth finger: "This fourth point of interest is probably that the other party wanted to be the teacher's student, but failed, so the other party was jealous of Wei Chen, and then wanted to deal with Wei Chen."
The Emperor: "..." Not only is this young man verbose, but his mind seems to be abnormal.
Qin Fang then stretched out his fifth finger: "This fifth point of interest... ore."
The emperor suddenly narrowed his eyes. He had made a mistake. Although this young man was verbose, he still had some brains. "What do you think of the ore?"
Qin Fang said: "I don't think it's too big of a deal. Your Majesty has made public the matter of making ice with saltpeter, and has also started selling ice. I guess you haven't hidden the fact that there are saltpeter mines and sulfur mines in Beast Mountain, and Beast Mountain has Wei Chen is guarding, so the target may want to make money from saltpeter, so he will deal with Wei Chen first. " Speaking of this, Qin Fang's heart beat loudly, because he knew that saltpeter was the biggest. The purpose is not to make ice, but to make fire. But the matter of the fire medicine is a secret and should not be known to outsiders.
Qin Fang didn't mention it, but the emperor had already thought of it. However, the emperor didn't care whether Qin Fang thought of it or not. He thought of another thing: "You left Yunxiang County without permission. What if someone rushed into Beast Mountain to steal saltpeter or someone came out of the volcano and leaked the formula of fire medicine?" manage?"
Qin Fang said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have already ordered two captains before I left. If someone wants to break into Beast Mountain, stop them at all costs. If you can't stop them, use fire medicine to stop them. If Beast Mountain doesn't show up, you can stop them." If someone wants to come out, they can only come out." When he said this, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, and his whole aura suddenly changed. He was still a straightforward country boy before, but now he has become sharper.
That moment of change attracted the emperor's attention. What changed him? When it comes to war, this person, judging from his height and body shape, is naturally suited to the battlefield. Moreover, being able to rescue the grandson of Marquis Yonghe from the hands of the barbarians and suppress the bandits without spending a single soldier shows that his strategy is very thoughtful. If this thought is used in other places, the emperor will naturally not like it, but if it is used to protect Qiguo, the emperor will naturally like it.
The emperor was born from blood, so he naturally has a good eye for seeing people, and he could also see that Qin Fang was not a treacherous person. A little clever, but really honest and honest. He liked people like this very much. Especially since he did not have a family background. Even though Du Ke became his teacher, Du Ke was an old fox and never participated in the formation of factions in aristocratic families. Moreover, even if Duko is his teacher, he himself has no other power. Therefore, the emperor can rest assured to use such a person.
In fact, none of these are important. What is important is that the emperor thinks this person is lucky. There is a saying that if the emperor thinks you can do it, you must do it.
The emperor is already the king of a country. For him now, what else can attract him is luck. He was the one who took the throne directly. In the minds of some people, his title as emperor was unjust and unjust. Therefore, he kept Qin Fang, who was lucky, by his side. He wanted the Qi State to be governed by himself and the country to be peaceful and peaceful for the people. People know that he is the right one.
The Emperor: "I will consider your matter as appropriate, but it is a serious crime for you to leave Yunxiang County without permission. Do you want me to punish you?"
Qin Fang thought for a while and asked cautiously: "How many more horses will Wei Chen help the emperor raise?"
The Emperor: "...Nonsense."
Qin Fang argued: "The humble minister has a plan. If the one hundred thousand taels of silver given by the emperor are used to buy horses and feed, it will be difficult to equip a thousand cavalry horses." A thousand horses need to be raised. , this feed is not ordinary. "Besides, raising these horses requires very particular attention to the racecourse. If you want to purchase land, I'm afraid the money given by the emperor is not enough."
Of course the emperor knows this. How can one hundred thousand taels of silver be enough to raise war horses? But the problem is...he doesn't want to part with money either. The emperor is not short of money, but the national treasury is. When the national treasury is short of money, how can he be willing to use his private treasury? As a wise and wise emperor, he was ready to use his private treasury to subsidize the national treasury at any time. So at this time, he could give Qin one hundred thousand taels of silver, and he had already paid it off.
However, Qin Fang doesn't know this.
So when the emperor heard that Qin Fang was dissatisfied with his lack of money, he was so angry that he was so angry. "Then tell me, what are your plans?"
Qin Fang smiled, showing his white teeth, and then took out the plan he had prepared long ago: "Here you go."
The emperor was flashed by his teeth. He took the plan and stared at him: "Open your mouth and show your teeth to me."
Qin Fang blinked, a little puzzled, but he still opened his mouth and showed his teeth.
When the emperor looked at Qin Fang's teeth, he felt as if he had eaten several lemons, because Qin Fang's teeth were so good. He is a majestic king of a country, but his teeth are not as white as Qin Fang's. "Your teeth are really good, very white." There are no cavities yet. I miss him... I already have two cavities. Every time I feel pain, I have to ask the imperial doctor to relieve the pain. It makes me sad just thinking about it.
Qin put down his consciousness and smiled again: "It was Zhuo Jing who asked Wei Chen to take good care of his teeth. Wei Chen brushes his teeth with a small brush every day. Some time ago, when the teacher went to Yunxiang County to discuss the Royal Food franchise plan, he also took a fancy to Wei Chen's teeth. Brushes, Zhuo Jing made one specially for the teacher."
The emperor stared at Qin Fang. This thing was given only to Du Ke, but not to him?
The king of a country may not be afraid of heaven, earth, harem, or courtiers, but... he cannot bear the pain in his teeth.
