"Okay, if you have something to say, just say it. Why bother with what you do?"
Me, I care so much!
Zhao Jun was very angry, and I really shouldn’t have intervened.
Why should I say so much? I still care about whether you are sad or not.
Zhao Jun wanted to turn around and slap himself twice, telling him not to meddle in other people’s business!
You shouldn't have any feelings for Ying Zheng. Look at how cold and ruthless he is. How can you be influenced by him?
Zhao Jun was so angry that he remained silent for a while.
Seeing her like this, Ying Zheng stopped teasing her and tried to make amends in a gentle tone.
"Okay, hurry up and tell me the story."
Ying Zheng felt that he had been very gentle and passed on the message to her.
But to Zhao Jun, his tone was not much different from before, and it even sounded like he was urging her.
I'm not angry. How can I be angry with the boss? The boss is a very important person. He is a person who is out of touch with the world.
How could I be so arrogant and give my boss a hard time?
Zhao Jun tried hard to convince himself.
Of course, you have to appear to be as gentle as a spring breeze when dealing with your boss.
But no one can stop me from cursing his ancestors in my heart, huh!
"Ahem."
Zhao Jun cleared his throat and decided to get down to business first.
She recounted the story of receiving Ba Guafuqing and several other businessmen, focusing on the planning of Xianyang Commercial Street.
"So, Your Majesty, I believe that commerce is very important to a country. If our people want to live a good life and our soldiers want to be strong, they must make money from merchants."
Merchants make money from the rich, and they make money from merchants.
"Well, what you said makes sense, but planning a commercial street is not something that can be done overnight." Ying Zheng replied, rubbing his palms.
"Yes, commerce certainly won't develop in a few days, but I think if we want others to see Qin's determination to develop commerce, we have to provide some conveniences to merchants."
"Yes, that makes sense. I've also heard of the widow Ba you mentioned. Her family has a good business in cinnabar, which I could use to repair the imperial mausoleum."
Ying Zheng nodded, and it seemed that he had already set his sights on her family.
Zhao Jun was speechless. Well, it seemed that Ying Zheng would have to take the mercury from her in the end.
"You seem to be more concerned about that Wu Shi Luo?" Ying Zheng asked back.
"Of course, cinnabar is of no use to me now, but Wu Shiluo is different. He is engaged in animal husbandry and has so many cattle and sheep under his control. Of course, he is worthy of attention."
Zhao Jun replied to him.
"I understand what you said. So, tomorrow at court, I will issue an order to grant each of them a piece of land in Xianyang."
Ying Zheng thought about what Zhao Jun said. If he wanted to let the merchants see his attitude, then granting land would be a sign of great importance.
You must know that land resources are very important nowadays, and the king will only grant land to important officials of the court or people who have made important contributions.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your move will surely show the resolve of the Qin State."
She was very satisfied with Ying Zheng's approach, which was considered to have achieved the desired effect.
The next day, Ying Zheng gave land to the two merchants as he had said before.
This matter was only discussed for a while in the court, but it caused an uproar in the business circles of Qin and even other vassal states.
For a time, the names of Ba Guafu Qing and Wu Shi Luo gradually spread.
Leaving aside other vassal states, many Qin merchants were secretly ready to make moves.
They also wanted to go to Xianyang and see what was going on.
Soon after, many small businessmen came to Xianyang, but that’s a story for later.
In addition to Xianyang, other vassal states were soon affected.
Because the paper brought by the merchants has arrived.
White paper as white as snow, cheap and affordable inferior paper.
Write it down with pen and ink, and your words will bloom.
Soon white paper became popular and became a treasure that all the noble families competed for.
This kind of paper is also regarded as a treasure by some poor students who are both good in character and academic performance.
However, the King of Zhao, who was far away in Xianyang, did not know about this for the time being.
Because she was deeply frozen by the Qin winter.
Time flies, and she has already spent the midsummer and golden autumn here.
Now comes the cold winter...
She hadn't attended court or reported to the Imperial Household Department for more than a week.
It's not that she doesn't want to go, it's just that she can't go.
As a child born in June, Zhao Jun is naturally not very afraid of heat but is extremely afraid of cold.
It’s not so bad in modern times, as we still have cotton-padded jackets and air conditioners.
But now she could only wrap herself tightly in her cotton robe.
However, the cotton robes here are not the modern cotton jackets.
There was no cotton at the time, so she used the best cocoons for her cotton gown and a smock on the outside.
She even went to Ying Zheng to ask for a rabbit fur cloak.
But it was of no use. Even the quilt on the bed was not very warm. She could only sit on the bed during the day and did not dare to lie down at all.
Although there is a hot water bottle, it only works for a while.
Zhao Jun was a little envious of Qingliu.
These days, Qingliu has been passing messages to her and sending her some official documents that need to be read.
It was the same weather, but Qingliu was not wearing as much as her, but she was still full of energy.
It can even be said that this is not the coldest time yet.
Zhao Jun couldn't stand it anymore, so she decided to think of a solution.
Do I have to contact Hyundai directly to exchange for a cotton-padded jacket?
No, it's too eye-catching.
Finally, she contacted Hyundai and asked for two sets of thickened thermal underwear.
Wear it inside so that others can't see it.
With the help of thermal underwear, life became a little better, but Zhao Jun was not satisfied.
