Xia Qi finally managed to send off Gongzi Gao, who had made up his mind to rely on his mother and wanted to do business with him.
There was still a lot of business to do, so how could she have the time to argue with him?
As expected, Xia Qi was right.
In the next few days, Brother Zheng's other sons also came to visit.
The reason for their visit was surprisingly the same. They were all here to help their mothers deliver their greeting gifts.
Xia Qi did not stand on ceremony with them. He chose a piece of gold and a piece of soap from their gifts.
In the end, some princesses and concubines who had never met before also sent people to ask.
Xia Qiming said that the price of the soap was fixed, and he would pay for it on delivery.
Immediately, a wave of buying soap started in the palace.
……
Qi years palace, Wang Jian is and Zheng brother play small report.
Wang Jian had a bitter expression as he said to Brother Zheng,""Gongzi Qi is doing business in the palace, and the goods he sells are soaps that make women go crazy. This is…too outrageous!”
Seemingly speaking, in reality, Wang Jian was completely fanning the flames.
What merchants in the palace and selling things for women were all nonsense.
What really bothered Wang Jian was that he was almost annoyed to death by the women at home recently.
Ever since his mother-in-law entered the palace and saw the soap, she seemed to have lost her soul.
When she returned home, she begged Wang Jian to buy a bar of soap from Xia Qi.
Wang Jian originally did not want to agree.
This time, Xia Qi was tricked quite badly by him. Wang Jian's heart was like a clear mirror.
In any case, he felt that Xia Qi had already become a prince, and the two of them would not have much contact in the future. It did not matter to him.
Therefore, when he tricked Xia Qi back then, Wang Jian was in high spirits.
Now, to make him pull down his face to beg Xia Qi, Wang Jian could not do it.
In any case, his wife knew very well that she was careless in her actions.
After some time, she might forget.
Wang Jian still underestimated the lethality of soap to women.
In order to prevent Wang Jian from being careless, Old Madam Wang called her daughter-in-law and a few granddaughters who were about to reach adulthood to pressure Wang Jian.
When Wang Jian saw this situation, he knew that he could not hide anymore.
He entered the palace in a fluster. He first looked for Xia Qi to buy a few pieces of soap.
He did not expect that Xia Qi's reply almost made Wang Jian faint from anger on the spot.
"Soap is complicated and the production process is cumbersome. The production is not high now, and it is not enough to supply the concubines and princesses.”
Was this human language?
I'm a noble, but I don't even have the face to buy a piece of soap?
Wang Jian's explosive temper rose, and he directly flicked his sleeves and left.
Although he was born into the ranks, Wang Jian was not the kind of general who only had brute force. There were many evil ideas in his stomach.
He left Xia Qi's place and headed straight for Qi Nian Palace.
I can't buy soap anymore, and I have to give my wife an explanation.
There was no choice. Since you, Xia Qi, were heartless first, don't blame me, Wang Jian, for being unjust!
If you're not selling me soap, then you might as well not sell your soap either.
Hence, the current scene appeared.
Brother Zheng did not speak. He was also thinking about Wang Jian's suggestion.
These few days when Xia Qi entered the palace, Brother Zheng did not seem to have seen him many times.
However, Brother Zheng knew Xia Qi's daily movements very well.
Xia Qi was selling soap in the palace, and Brother Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the beginning.
However, he felt that Xia Qi had not adapted to the life of a prince yet, so he was just bored and came up with something.
However, looking at the current situation, the soap had actually begun to influence the women and children in the families of the royal court.
On the one hand, Brother Zheng was also a little amazed by Xia Qi's ability to do business quietly.
On the other hand, he also felt that this could not go on.
After all, the Imperial Palace was not like a marketplace. It was indeed inappropriate to let Xia Qi do business in the Imperial Palace.
"In your opinion, how should we deal with this?”Brother Zheng asked Wang Jian.
Before coming, Wang Jian had long had a comprehensive plan.
"Your Majesty, Gongzi Qi has been doing business since he was young and has developed a busy personality. This is a good thing. Therefore, even in the palace, he could not relax.”
Wang Jian smiled and said,"Why not arrange a position for him and let him get busy? His thoughts of doing business will naturally fade."”
After thinking for a while, Brother Zheng nodded.
"Yes!"
Then, Brother Zheng asked Zhao Gao, who was standing at the side, to call Xia Qi over.
Soon, Xia Qi followed Zhao Gao to Qi Nian Palace.
When he saw that Wang Jian was also there, Xia Qi knew that this old fogey was definitely giving him a hard time again.
"You have been in the palace for a long time, so you should be familiar with the matters of the court. Which of the various departments of the court are you interested in?”
Brother Zheng didn't waste any time talking nonsense with Xia Qi and asked directly.
When a prince reached a certain age, he would have the qualifications to participate in politics, which was probably similar to an internship.
However, it was rare to see such a simple and crude way of choosing a department.
No matter what, this was not a bad thing for Xia Qi.
Xia Qi quickly went through Great Qin's Imperial Court in his mind.
Right now, the Great Qin Dynasty Hall was still a group of three dukes and nine ministers.
Xia Qi's intentions were not in the court to begin with. Directly following the three dukes and nine ministers to do things was not within his consideration at all.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
There it was!
"Your…Imperial Father, can I join the Craftsmen Bureau?”
Wang Jian and Zhao Gao looked at Xia Qi in surprise. The two of them did not understand why Xia Qi chose this department.
The Craftsman Bureau was under the jurisdiction of the Shao Fu, one of the nine ministers, and had a rather high status in the past.
However, after Lu Buwei's reform, the craftsmen of the Craftsmen Bureau were directly assigned to the Shao Fu.
From then on, the Craftsman Bureau was only in name.
"Think again!" Brother Zheng looked displeased.
"There's no need to think about it. The Craftsman Bureau suits me perfectly!”Xia Qi said with a smile.
Xia Qi was very clear about the Craftsman Bureau's current situation.
It was precisely because of this that he chose this place.
All he wanted was the identity of an official. If this identity could also be used to do business reasonably and legally, that would be the best.
He had never lacked profitable businesses, but many businesses were not easy to do without an official status and could be exchanged with the royal court in time.
The Craftsman Bureau was especially suitable for him.
Other organizations could also give Xia Qi the same convenience.
However, even if he was a prince, it was impossible for him to become the boss of these institutions.
Xia Qi wasn't used to having a superior bossing him around.
The Craftsmen Bureau was so good. Now, there were only a few big cats and small cats. With his status, he would be the boss if he went. No one could control him.
Brother Zheng was a little disappointed.
If it was any other son, even a playful child like Huhai, he would dare to say that he wanted to go to the Craftsmen Bureau.
Brother Zheng would definitely let him know the consequences of being a prince who did not strive for progress.
However, since Xia Qi was the one who made this request, Brother Zheng couldn't object.
