When Zhao Jun walked to the fish pond he mentioned and saw the densely packed shrimps in it.

I couldn't help but give it a thumbs up in my heart.

"My lord, isn't that too much?"

Qi Min was a little nervous. He really didn't expect these shrimps to grow so fast.

Few people ate them before, and they were basically used as fish feed.

"Not many, not many. These shrimp are really delicious. I think they're all good-sized now. I'll ship them to Xianyang with the other batch of fish tomorrow to sell."

Zhao Jun really didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise.

Now she likes to eat this kind of shrimp very much. It is especially delicious whether it is stir-fried, boiled or made into shrimp paste.

Zhao Jun has already decided that once this batch of fish is processed, she will have a shrimp feast.

"Okay, I hope we can sell them together."

Qi Min finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just heard from Sister Wang that you two have been busy these past few months, so I plan to give you 20% of the proceeds from the sale of this batch of fish as wages."

"Twenty percent, that's too much."

Wang Ni screamed in surprise. She had originally thought that they would at most give us a certain amount of wages, but she didn't expect that they would give us 20% of the fish sold. There were so many fish, 20% was too much.

"Listen to me, this 20% profit will be your wages. I'll still give you 20% profit after the October batch of fish arrives, but I won't be managing this fish pond next year."

"I will also withdraw all these garrisons. This place will no longer belong to the government. I will not care how you manage or sell it. It will all be up to you. Of course, I won't take a penny of the final profit except for taxes."

"But I sent someone to open up this piece of land. From now on, you will need to pay the government a land contract fee every year. This means that we will rent the fish pond we have dug to you."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Jun stared at the couple.

She had not bothered with the fish pond in the first place, and she did not want to hold on to the land.

So contracting it out through leasing is like renting a house to a businessman.

Just pay me a fixed rent, I don’t care about the profit of the shop.

Wang Ni quickly understood what Zhao Jun meant.

She was simply overjoyed.

This, next year this fish pond will belong to their family.

How could such a good thing happen?

"Sir, is it really possible? We are willing to do so."

Qi Min didn't know much about business, but seeing that his wife was so happy and she was so smart, this should be a good thing.

"Of course, I mean what I say."

"However, I have to say something upfront. Next year, this fish pond will no longer belong to the government, so you will be responsible for any profits or losses."

"If you don't take good care of it and there are losses, that's your own business."

Wang Ni felt a little conflicted, but she soon became determined.

"Sir, I understand. When the time comes, all profits and losses will be ours."

Although they lost the protection of the government, the profits they could get from the fish ponds had definitely increased several times, and they could make their own decisions.

She looked back at the man who was obsessed with raising fish. Since there was no problem this year, there would definitely be no problem next year.

"Okay, as long as you agree, then that's it."

"I'm leaving now. I'll find a shop in Xianyang tomorrow and then find someone to transport it."

It was almost noon and the sun was high in the sky.

Zhao Jun didn't stay here for long. After taking a look around, he prepared to return to Xianyang.

If I go back at this time, I can still make it in time to have lunch with Qingliu.

"Sir, are we going back?"

Meng Yi spoke in a low voice.

"Hey, you're still here."

Zhao Jun glanced at him and spoke sarcastically.

"I've been following you all the time, ahem. We're going back now, right? Let me drive your carriage."

Meng Yi was so ignored that he spoke with extra enthusiasm.

Zhao Jun couldn't help but laugh when he saw his humble look.

I didn't expect that someone who is usually gentle and refined would also be humble and modest sometimes.

People are really soft-hearted and afraid of tough ones.

"Alright, alright, let's go."

Zhao Jun couldn't help but smile, waved his hand, and got into the carriage.

Meng Yi was sitting outside, and judging from her expression, she seemed to have calmed down.

At this time, Zhao Jun, who was sitting in the car, looked a little distracted.

Meeting Xiao He and Liu Bang really caught her off guard.

But what should I do? Should I really tell Ying Zheng?

Then I'm afraid Ying Zheng will really kill him soon.

But the King of Zhao did not really want to kill Liu Bang.

Although Liu Bang looked quite annoying and rarely spoke sensible words.

But he was not the one who pushed the Qin Dynasty to its demise.

She could completely accept the deaths of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.

Because they were the most direct driving force behind the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

However, Liu Bang and Xiao He had nothing to do with this matter. In fact, they only gradually came to prominence after the reign of Qin II.

Liu Bang just happened to become the winner in history, but he did not step on the corpse of the Qin Dynasty.

So Liu Bang's death was something she didn't want to contribute to.

She will not tell Ying Zheng about this for the time being.

Even if she told Ying Zheng later, she would not let him kill Liu Bang.

Let’s talk about Xiao He.

Although they only met once, she was deeply impressed by Xiao He, who was a humble person.

In history, Liu Bang’s success was inseparable from Xiao He’s planning. He was an absolute counselor.

How could Zhao Jun let go of such a talent, not to mention that she was short of manpower at that time.

Anyway, in history, Xiao He did serve as an official in the Qin State.

He had no prejudice against the Qin State, was very interested in the changes in Xianyang, and was even more interested in paper.

It would be better to go all out and get Xiao He into her hands.

I believe that with Xiao He's assistance, she will be able to work more easily, and the Qin State also lacks such talents.

The King of Zhao was determined not to let Xiao He leave Xianyang.

He must be allowed to stay. No one can escape while building the Qin Dynasty.

But Xiao He has left now, although he may not leave Xianyang so soon.

She stroked her chin and thought, thinking that she should send someone to find the person first, and then take the opportunity to create an encounter.

The carriage swayed towards Xianyang, and Zhao Jun also finished his calculations.

"Sir, we'll be here soon."

Meng Yi suddenly shouted outside.

"It's already noon, and time for lunch. I'll treat you all to a meal. I heard a lot of restaurants have opened in Xianyang in the past few months, so it's a good time to go try some."

"Okay, I'll go to the workshop and pick up Qingliu later."

Zhao Jun had no intention of returning to the palace for lunch. He had originally wanted to eat outside with Qingliu, but now that someone was treating him, it would be even better.

Besides, she had something to do in the city this afternoon.

She had to find a suitable place in Xianyang to process the fish in the pond.

Meng Yi can't leave, he still needs to run errands.
