My name is Xia Qi
It was a transmigrator. He was wearing it, but his body had shrunk to one or two years old.
I became the richest businessman in the world by relying on salt production and steel smelting, but I never expected that I would become the illegitimate son of the First Emperor of Great Qin.
"Come in!" In the room, Brother Zheng had a rare smile on his face. He called Huhai and Fu Su, who were waiting outside, in.
One of them had a beard on his face, and he looked dignified and elegant. He was the eldest son of Great Qin, Fu Su. He was also almost universally recognized as the Crown Prince in the Imperial Court, but Brother Zheng had yet to appoint a Crown Prince.
The other one who looked a little smart and had a slippery head was Xia Qi.
What was worth mentioning was that Great Qin had just destroyed Great Qin and unified the world. Fu Su was the eldest son in name and had the most prestige. The conflict between Confucianism and Legalism that had led to Fu Su's relegation to Longxi County had yet to begin, and Fu Su's position as the Crown Prince was almost certain.
Therefore, the relationship between Huhai and Fu Su was still very good during this period. At least, they would not fall out with each other like they would in the future. They also looked like brothers who respected each other.
"This is Xia Qi!"
Brother Zheng said with a smile on his face.
"Your eldest brother!"
Brother Zheng didn't think too much about the sudden birth of a son, and it was his eldest son.
The Great Qin Empire was different from the later generations. The Great Qin Imperial Clan had always been respectful and harmonious.
In the hundreds of years that Great Qin had been around, there had never been a case of internal strife between brothers.
Therefore, there was no need to panic because of the sudden birth of a child. Therefore, when Brother Zheng revealed Xia Qi's identity, he appeared very calm.
Huhai had no chance of gaining power at all. If it wasn't for Fu Su's brainless suggestion of enfeoffment, how could Huhai compete with Fu Su for the throne?
Therefore, Huhai didn't have any other thoughts about having an elder brother.
On the contrary, Huhai's ambition hadn't sprouted yet. He was just curious.
"Big brother is the number one merchant in the world?”Huhai came over and bowed.
"I heard that you're as rich as a country. Is that true?”Huhai said in a low voice with a smile.
"No!" Xia Qi didn't take Huhai's flattery seriously. It was just that Huhai wasn't in power yet. This guy was ruthless. After he gained power, he basically killed all his brothers and sisters. It was better to stay away from him.
"Greetings, elder brother!" Fu Su also bowed to Xia Qi.
Xia Qi also returned the greeting!
For a moment, the atmosphere was filled with a happy and harmonious family reunion.
"Right, Your Majesty!"
Wang Jian, who was eating by the side, suddenly seemed to have recalled something.
"Young Master has already entered the palace. Isn't it inappropriate to manage those merchants and chase after those small profits?”Wang Jian glanced at Xia Qi and said.
"F * ck! Old bastard Wang Jian tricked me!" Xia Qi immediately cracked open when he heard that!
How could Brother Zheng remember this in the current atmosphere? Wang Jian, this old fogey, was definitely scamming him!
Of course, in reality, Xia Qi was thinking too much!
Because of Lu Buwei's autocracy, Brother Zheng had never been polite to the merchants, so the merchants in Guanzhong had naturally become a lowly profession!
Therefore, Wang Jian's reminder was actually excusable. If he had to say what reason there was, it was just because he had been scammed by Xia Qi many times. Wang Jian felt that this young master was very unkind.
All businessmen were black-hearted!
When Brother Zheng heard Wang Jian's words, he pondered for a moment. Brother Zheng indeed hated businessmen. This was a publicly acknowledged fact.
Now that Xia Qi's identity was almost set in stone, it would be a little shameful to continue doing these lowly jobs. At the very least, he could entrust them to others, and he could not personally appear as usual.
But now that they had just reunited, Brother Zheng couldn't force Xia Qi. After pondering for a moment, Brother Zheng finally spoke.
"It is indeed inappropriate for a prince to do business. You grew up in the countryside, so it is not a problem. However, you lacked guidance since you were young. Now that you're in the palace, it's not good for you to do this. In the next few days, you can stay in the palace and study with the other princes!
As for the family business you bought, I'll take care of it for you first!
When you are familiar with the etiquette of the palace and find a confidant, I will hand over these businesses to you!”
Xia Qi's business was very big and his connections were also very wide. Brother Zheng could not let Xia Qi leave the palace.
Now that they had just reunited, Xia Qi was extremely resistant. Brother Zheng only thought that Xia Qi was complaining about his difficult childhood. If he let Xia Qi out of the palace and Xia Qi used his connections to escape, it would be difficult to find him.
Since Xia Qi couldn't leave the palace, he had to take care of these businesses for Xia Qi.
Brother Zheng was thinking that after a certain period of time, Xia Qi would eliminate his resistance and then tell everyone about Xia Qi's identity, changing his surname to Ying and returning to the Imperial Clan.
At that time, he would return these businesses to Xia Qi.
In the end, he was still worried that Xia Qi would not be able to accept carrying a bucket and running away. He could only use this method to keep Xia Qi in the palace first, and the rest could be discussed in the future.
As for Xia Qi, how could he resist?
At this point, what else could he do other than lie flat?
"Your Majesty…" However, Xia Qi still wanted to struggle.
"Call me father!" Brother Zheng interrupted Xia Qi.
"Uh, father." Xia Qixin said. You asked me to call him that.
"Is your Imperial Father's words true?”Xia Qi said carefully.
It's not that he's narrow-minded, but Xia Qi is indeed very rich.
Now that Great Qin was conquering the six countries, even though Xia Qi knew that Big Brother Zheng was not someone who would go back on his word, he was still worried.
He was born to be a money-grubber. He felt uncomfortable all over if he did not do business. This was his nature, and he could not resist it.
However, when Brother Zheng heard Xia Qi's words, he revealed a hint of displeasure.
"What's wrong? Are you still worried that I will take your money?”
Xia Qi saw Brother Zheng's expression change and did not dare to say anything. He could only smile awkwardly.
"Then I'll write it down first and ask Imperial Father to find someone to take care of it for me!”
After saying that, Xia Qi picked up his brush and started drawing on the bamboo tube.
Salt Iron Forging Workshop!
All the restaurants in the world
He wrote a bamboo tube full of words, plus both sides.
After writing, Brother Zheng's expression eased up. He did not look at the bamboo tube and only smiled.
"You can stay in the Tranquil Palace first. That was where your mother lived when she was alive!”
Xia Qi obediently followed Fu Su to look for his own small courtyard.
After the rest of the people left, only Wang Jian, this old man, was left. Only then did Brother Zheng finally put down his expression and reveal a slight smile as he picked up the bamboo tube that Xia Qi wrote.
"This kid is a little distant after all. Is he afraid that zhen will covet his money?”
" After all, we have never met before." Wang Jian echoed from the side.
"30,000 catties of salt per month?"
" A dozen of such workshops?"
"Two million catties of iron per year?"
Brother Zheng's fingers twitched slightly!
Steel was Xia Qi's representative item!
In the past, the Iron Chain could be used to make a hoe, but in Xia Qi's hands, it could be used to make weapons. Even though it could not compare to Great Qin's high-tech Green-Copper weapons, it was more than enough to make weapons from the other six countries!
Annual production! Two million jin?
It was even higher than Great Qin's annual production of Bronze?
The more Brother Zheng read, the more shocked he became. Only after he finished reading did he slowly heave a sigh of relief.
No wonder this kid was so worried!
This was truly a wealth that could rival a country!
Taking out Xia Qi's wealth could already arm an entire country!
"It seems to be the same on the back of His Majesty's bamboo tube!”Wang Jian reminded softly.
"Zhen knows!"
Brother Zheng was expressionless, but the bamboo tube in his hand was almost unsteady.
