Logically speaking, merchants in this era would only specialize in one business.
Only businessmen with immense power like Lu Buwei would be involved in all kinds of industries.
But Lu Buwei had died long ago, and no other merchant in Xianyang City could compare to him.
The " any kind of business " that Old Zhao mentioned either meant that he really had Lu Buwei's means.
Or... There might be a problem.
Thinking of this, Meng Fan continued." Settling down in Xianyang City and doing all kinds of businesses. Old Zhao, you have a big business!"”
"Hehe, didn't I tell you? I have some connections in Xianyang City, all thanks to my friends.”Ying Zheng chuckled and said perfunctorily.
"Then why did you go to Longxi?”Meng Fan asked again," There's no profitable business in Longxi, right?"”
Meng Fan had asked when he brought the two home.
The answer he got was that Old Zhao and Old Wang had gone to Longxi to do business, then bumped into Meng Fan on their way back to Xianyang.
Meng Fan was puzzled. Longxi was such a poor place, what kind of profitable business could he do?
After getting the answer from You Zhi, he immediately had a guess.
Could it be that Old Zhao's identity as a merchant was a lie?
When Ying Zheng came back to his senses, he also noticed Meng Fan's change.
This kid went to Arishi's house and started to check out his background when he came back.
Did the old You Zhi say anything to him?
Was he starting to doubt his identity? That shouldn't be the case.
"This wine is very strong, and I'm already a little tipsy. Why don't we stop drinking here today, and Old Wang and I will take a nap first.”Ying Zheng put down his bowl and pretended to be pleased.
Squinting at the two, Meng Fan nodded.""Alright, then you guys go and rest first.”
After the two returned to their room, Meng Fan thoughtfully cleared the dishes.
Old Zhao must be hiding something from me!
However, he still couldn't confirm that he was the person the Prefectural Governor was talking about. No, he had to think of a way to get information out of him.
Human curiosity was endless.
Once he became interested in something, he had to find out the answer no matter what.
Meng Fan was one of them.
On the other side, Ying Zheng, who had returned to his room, said to Wang Jian,""Old General, is this kid starting to doubt our identities?”
"Your Majesty also saw through it?" Wang Jian also had a puzzled expression. It had only been two days. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be.”
"He just went to Youzhi's house for a while and came back like this. Something must have happened.”Wang Jian judged.
Ying Zheng nodded and said," How about this? Tonight, the old general will secretly go out and contact the Black Icy Army again. Ask them to investigate carefully, and don't alert the enemy. This cunning kid, I don't want to expose my identity in front of him yet."”
"Your Majesty, if this old minister were to say that we should just lay our cards on the table, would that kid still dare to act rashly after knowing that Your Majesty is the current First Emperor?”said Wang Jian with a bitter smile, not understanding why Ying Zheng was unwilling to reveal his identity.
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up unconsciously as he explained,""Old General, don't you want to see what else is in this kid's stomach? And once he finds out my identity, I'm afraid we won't be friends anymore. I'm still counting on Meng Fan to continue helping me lose weight.”
"I understand." Wang Jian nodded helplessly. Just as Ying Zheng had said, their relationship with Meng Fan was like that of a friend. If they were to reveal their identity, their relationship would be ruined.
That night.
Under Ying Zheng and Wang Jian's suggestion, Meng Fan once again set up the hotpot...
During dinner, Meng Fan seemed to have sensed the two's presence. He didn't continue asking about Ying Zheng's background, as if nothing had happened.
At night, after confirming Meng Fan was asleep, Wang Jian sneaked out.
......
The next morning.
Just when Ying Zheng thought Meng Fan would still be sleeping in today, Meng Fan appeared in front of them in his Confucian robe.
"Yo, did you change your personality today? Why are you up so early?" Wang Jian joked with him.
Bringing out the breakfast he had prepared, Meng Fan said,""Today, I'm going to teach the children of the Meng family how to read.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's interest was immediately piqued.""Teach children how to read? Why do you have such thoughts?"
Without waiting for Meng Fan to speak, Wang Jian answered first,""This kid must have accepted money from others. If one family collects some tuition fees, the entire manor can earn a lot!”
Ying Zheng was stunned. He felt that what Wang Jian said made sense. According to Meng Fan's greedy personality, it was possible that he would do something like this.
Meng Fan rolled his eyes at him.""Old Wang, this is your lack of awareness. I don't charge a single cent for my classes!”
"Oh?" This time, it was Wang Jian's turn to be surprised.
Meng Fan was full of righteousness." I have a dream!"”
"I will pass on my knowledge to Great Qin's next generation!”
"These children are Great Qin's future hope!”
"Once we nurture them, everyone in Great Qin will be like dragons in the future!”
"For the great cause of education, I am willing to make sacrifices!”
