"Your…Your Majesty, High Emperor, sirs, please have some tea.”
Ba Man filled everyone's cups with tea and stood aside with a pout.
Occasionally, he would look at Zhao Tuo with eyes filled with grievance.
It was obvious that she was still upset because Zhao Tuo had told Ba Qing his true identity many years ago but had not told her.
"Your Majesty, have a taste. In these ten years, I have nothing to do, but I have put in a lot of effort into brewing the tea you taught me.”
Zhao Tuo nodded and finished the tea in his cup.
Instantly, the fragrance of the tea filled the air, and the aftertaste was long.
"Not bad, it's not much worse than what Zhen personally brewed.”
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhao Tuo said seriously,
"Qing Furen, zhen will not keep you in suspense. This time, zhen came to find you to fulfill our agreement.”
Ba Qing smiled and said slowly,""Don't worry, Your Majesty. This old one has already ordered the servants to check and sort it out.”
"There should be results soon…"
As soon as Ba Qing finished speaking, a servant quickly walked over with a book sewn with silk.
"Madam, everything has been counted.”
"Yeah," she said.
Ba Qing waved his hand to dismiss the servants, and then handed the book in his hand to Zhao Tuo.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Zhao Tuo opened the book, and Ying Zheng came over curiously.
On the booklet, there were rows of small words:
A cinnabar mine in Bajun
Nanyang County: 3 cinnabar shops, 10 medicine shops, more than 20 meat shops, 53 merchants under its command
Xianyang City: Five cinnabar shops, medicine shop…
Sanchuan Prefecture…
Yingchuan County…
……
The warehouse in the house had a total of 20,000 Yi of gold, 12 boxes of jade, and more than 20 boxes of various jewelry.
Without a doubt, this book recorded all the assets Ba Qing had!
Seeing such a terrifying number, even Ying Zheng could not help but feel a little shocked.
Meng Yi and the others who had surrounded him from behind were sweating profusely.
Those shops that were densely packed dizzily didn't count.
Just the amount of gold in this mansion's warehouse was enough to make them dumbfounded!
20,000 Yi!
A whole 20,000 Yi of gold!
One yi twenty liang, about seven thousand two hundred money.
This 20,000 yi was 140 million yuan!
Ten million yuan!
Even when the national treasury was at its peak, it only had 500 million.
This also included the cash flow of food.
A real gold coin was probably only worth 300 million.
And this Ba Qing family…was worth half of the gold in the national treasury!
Rich enough to rival a country!
He was truly as rich as a country!
Ba Qing's following words scared Meng Yi and the others so much that they almost fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, this book contains all the assets of our Ba Clan.”
"Now…I will give them all to Your Majesty.”
“……”
“……”
“……”
At this moment, Meng Yi and Wang Ben were both shocked.
Even Ying Zheng could not help but be shocked.
He looked at Zhao Tuo and Ba Qing in shock.
All of them?
Gift?
"General Wang, there might be something wrong with my ears. You just…"
"Lord Meng, you didn't hear wrongly. I just…"
For a moment, the two of them were a little dazzled.
No wonder Zhao Tuo said he would bring them here to earn money.
This was the truth.
Ying Zheng took a deep breath. Faced with such a huge sum of money that was about to flow into the national treasury, not only was there no joy on his face, he was even frowning.
After hesitating for a moment, Ying Zheng finally asked in a deep voice,""Although I have already abdicated, I still can't help but ask.”
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Madam Qing, why…are you doing this?”
Hearing Ying Zheng's question, Ba Qing glanced at Zhao Tuo.
Seeing him nod, Ba Qing then told him the whole story.
"High Emperor, you might not know this, but ten years ago, my life was hanging by a thread. It was Your Majesty, who was only eight years old at that time, who saved me and allowed me to live until now.”
"Later on, with Your Majesty's help, the Ba family managed to rise to a higher level in Great Qin's unfavorable environment.”
“！！！”
After hearing Ba Qing's story, Ying Zheng and the others looked at Zhao Tuo with even stranger gazes.
They originally thought that the Zhao Tuo they knew was already extremely outstanding.
However, he never expected that…
As early as ten years ago, he was already able to do such a shocking move!
"In addition to all these reasons, Your Majesty and I made an agreement that if Your Majesty succeeded to the throne, the Ba family…would belong to Your Majesty, which is Great Qin.”
"And His Majesty is helping me complete my father's last wish in return.”
"What last wish?" Ying Zheng frowned and asked the most crucial question.
"To clear the name of Great Qin's merchants!"
"What?!"
Ying Zheng stood up immediately, and a cold light flashed across his eyes as he looked at Ba Qing.
Even though he had already abdicated, he was still alive.
However, as long as he lived in this world, no one would be able to negotiate with Great Qin with external items!
Seeing Ying Zheng's appearance, how could Ba Qing, who was old and experienced, not know what was going on?
She smiled bitterly." It's not what Your Majesty imagined. Although Your Majesty was young at that time, his intelligence was outstanding.”
"These conditions are all…"
"It was all suggested by Zhen."
"Hmm?"
Hearing Zhao Tuo's words, Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, and Wang Ben all turned to look at him in surprise.
"Actually, the role of merchants is much greater than you think!”
