"Imperial Father is worried. Your son is afraid."
Zhao Long smiled and said," But it's alright. The things that your son prepared are generally okay. Minister Li and Minister Feng have done a good job. Your son has more or less understood all of the geography and information about the Thousand Miles Salt and Alkaline.”
"Haha, that's good."
Ying Zheng asked with a smile," Then, when do you plan to start hiring civilian workers to remove the salt?”
"Imperial Father, your son believes that it is not the time yet.”
Huh?
Not the time?
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was stunned. He asked in confusion," Then, what are you waiting for?”
"Your son is waiting for the heavens."
Heavens?
Hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng was confused." Wait for what?”
"Your son will wait and borrow something from the heavens.”
"Haha?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng could not help but laugh." What can the heavens lend you…"
"Rain…"
Zhao Long smiled." Your son needs to wait for the rain.”
What was that?
Rain?
Ying Zheng sized up Zhao Long and asked in confusion," If the rain is coming, how are you going to make people work?”
"Father…"
Zhao Long smiled and said," After the heavy rain, if your son implements it, the removal of salt and soda can be accelerated by ten times or a hundred times!”
"Whoa?"
With the rain, you can actually complete your request faster?
Upon hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng's eyes widened.
"Father, please wait quietly. Your son will definitely be able to complete the mission…"
"En, but…"
As Ying Zheng spoke, he changed his tone." I heard that you only sent a thousand men, and didn't bring much…Why is that?”
"Hey…"
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Long smiled and said," I guess so. I didn't expect too many people to come…"
"It's a lie."
Ying Zheng snorted and laughed." You've thought about this idea for a long time. How could you make such a mistake? Why aren't you telling the truth?"
"Heh, your son is guilty."
Zhao Long smiled." Actually, your son did it on purpose.”
"Ha, why is that?"
Ying Zheng sat on the hassock, turned around, and asked curiously," Do you really think that we don't need that much, or do you have other plans?”
"Of course, they have other motives…Father, let alone a thousand people to pull the goods, so what if there are three thousand? It's still not enough!"
Zhao Long said," This thousand miles of barren land, how much food and how many things will be consumed. Father must have a rough idea in his heart.”
"Since that's the case, what do you want?"
"Borrow food…"
Zhao Long smiled." Your son is not lacking. How can I borrow food from the nobles?”
"Oh? Whoa?"
Hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng laughed out loud." Haha, you, you want to borrow food from the nobles?”
"Reporting to Imperial Father, yes."
Zhao Long said," That was my plan. I deliberately didn't take so much grain from the national treasury. Then, I pretended to be upset and didn't know. I spread the word that if anyone lent me grain, I would return it double next year!
If he can't return it, I'll think of a way to ask my father for help and make him a lord. Wasn't this what I offered in the beginning? Tell me, if I say this, will no one be moved?
This noble definitely had a lot of surplus grain in his hands! Instead of asking me to take it from the national treasury, I might as well borrow it from the nobles! This way, his father and the imperial court would be able to be more relaxed when it came to the needs of the various regions.”
"I am very happy that my son is so filial.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng felt deeply moved. Who would not like a sensible child?
However, Ying Zheng was still a little worried." Then, can you guarantee that I'll lend you these nobles?”
"Of course!"
Zhao Long smiled and said," I'm a prince. They thought that if something happened to me, Father, would you sit by and do nothing? "Therefore, they will definitely lend it to me. At that time, it will be a treasure they seek wealth and wealth for!”
"En, your brain is really strange.”
Ying Zheng smiled, and then said with a meaningful tone," In that case, it all depends on whether you can succeed in turning waste into good.”
"Your son has a hundred guarantees.”
Zhao Long smiled and said," However, since Imperial Father has said so today, I have a bold request. I hope Imperial Father will grant it.”
"Hmm? If you have any requests, I will definitely get the national treasury to give them to you.”
"Imperial Father, your son's request is not in the national treasury, but in Imperial Father's hands.”
As Zhao Long spoke, he turned around and walked a few steps. Then, he turned around and knelt down." I dare to ask Father to allow me to do business in Xianyang City!”
En…En?
Hiss?
Hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng's face changed immediately.
"You…you want to do business?"
Ying Zheng was surprised." My son, why are you doing this? Scholars, farmers, businessmen and merchants were the last. How could the royal family humiliate themselves? If you need it, I only need to get someone to give it to you. If you do business, I'm afraid that you will be instructed by others and it will be difficult for you to convince the masses!”
