Chapter 304: Attracting Investment
He transferred a large sum of money from his private treasury and gave it to Su Ling.
Now that the sailboat issue was settled, Zhao Qingrui was in a very good mood.
On the other side, Prince Fusu was in a bad mood. He didn't expect that his younger sister would reject all his plans.
The people of the Tian family are willing to cooperate actively and are even willing to contribute money, effort and manpower. There are still many areas that need construction in Liaodong County.
He was still very happy that they were willing to help.
It would be a good thing if we could build Liaodong County into a prosperous one with their help.
In this way, it might not be a bad idea to give the Tian family some convenience.
"Husband, what's wrong? Did something happen?" When Wang Xia came over, Fusu was holding the rejected memorial and looking at it.
"There's something I haven't figured out." Fusu sighed softly, then handed the memorial to Wang Xia, "Take a look at it too."
After finishing reading it quickly, Wang Xia couldn't help but look at Fusu again.
"Husband, do you think it's a good thing for the Tian family to help build Liaodong County?"
"Yes, after the incident with the bandits, fewer merchants came to Liaodong County. If we want to build Liaodong County well, we have to rely on the talents of Liaodong County." Fusu nodded and looked at Wang Xia in confusion. She didn't seem to agree either.
"We have to rely on the Tian family. Look at what they want. They want to control the entire Liaodong County in the hands of the Tian family." Wang Xia sighed.
Fusu was a man of upright character, and he generally never assumed the worst of people.
After making friends, he treats them with all his heart.
Just like this time, the three brothers Tian Rong from the Tian family were regarded as close friends by Fusu because of their deliberate efforts to make friends with him.
She had heard Fusu mention them several times in the past few days, and his words were full of appreciation.
"I would like to hear the details." Fusu was silent for two seconds and looked at Wang Xia. Compared with the Tian brothers, Wang Xia was naturally closer to him, and he was also willing to listen to Wang Xia's thoughts.
"My husband, you are confused. The sale of refined salt is regulated by the imperial court, and merchants are selected every year. This clause is even written into the Qin law. My husband, are you disregarding the majesty of Qin law?"
"And there's this matter of sending people to the Post Office to get a job. The Post Office is responsible for relaying news from all over the place, so its importance is self-evident. They already have a hand in this, so maybe they can send more people there in the future."
"There's also the Imperial Newspaper Office, which controls public opinion throughout the country. If they take advantage of their position and secretly spread rumors that are detrimental to the Qin Dynasty, how will your husband cope with the situation?"
"As for building a school, their ambition is even more obvious. They are willing to provide dozens of teachers. When the time comes, will this school belong to the court or to the Tian family?"
Wang Xia's words were like a wake-up call. Fusu's hand holding the teacup trembled, and some tea spilled out.
After hurriedly wiping the table clean, Fusu slumped down in the chair.
"Do they really have such evil ambitions?" Fusu's voice trembled.
"Husband, you treat them as friends and confidants, and you are open and sincere to them. Have you never thought that they are deliberately approaching you?" Wang Xia sighed lightly. How could he still be so naive?
Fusu looked hesitant and a little embarrassed for a moment. "I, I didn't think too much about it. They are indeed very knowledgeable and have similar interests to me."
"Tian, these people are probably descendants of the royal family of Qi." Wang Xia pursed his lips.
Fusu remained silent. He had guessed these things before, but he felt that they were friends and did not think they would harm him.
"When you encounter problems, you can discuss it with your servants and don't believe everything they say." Before leaving, Wang Xia reminded Fusu.
Although Fusu no longer had the right of inheritance, there were still many servants willing to follow him, mainly because Fusu was kind and benevolent.
"I understand." Fusu nodded.
After Wang Xia left, Fusu stared at the memorial.
In the next few days, Fusu had less and less contact with the people of the Tian family. After discussing with his servants, they also felt that the brothers of the Tian family had bad intentions.
The Tian family also noticed something unusual.
"We were too impatient. Our intentions have been discovered. Now the imperial court must know about it. Should we leave here?" Tian Dan sighed and looked at his two cousins.
"No rush. It's been so many days. If the court had made any moves, we in Xianyang would have definitely noticed it first. But they haven't made any moves. Maybe they don't take us seriously." Tian Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.
"No, I'm still a little worried." Tian Rong frowned.
"Calm down, don't really attract the people from the Qin Dynasty." Tian Dan looked at Tian Rong.
"Brother, I want to follow the caravan to Xianyang to see the situation there." Tian Rong expressed his plan.
They have been developing in Di County for so many years. If the Qin Dynasty really wants to take action against them, all their efforts over the years will be in vain.
Especially under the series of systems of the Qin Dynasty, their industries were forced to shrink a lot. They were no match for the Qin Dynasty and did not dare to confront it head-on.
"I think your idea is good, brother. We still have our shop in Xianyang, so it would be a good idea for him to take charge of it." Tian Heng said after thinking for a while.
"I'll think about it." Tian Dan looked at his two cousins, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhao Qingrui really had no intention of dealing with the people from the Tian family, so it would be better to keep them around to make things more difficult for Fusu.
The power of the Tian family is too small for the current Qin Dynasty.
Even if it was just the defense force of Xianyang City, it would still be able to crush the combined forces of the remnants of the six kingdoms.
