Xianyang, Zhao Gao's mansion.
Today was his day off, so he could rest at home and did not have to serve the King of Qin.
"This brown sugar is really in high demand.”
Zhao Gao looked at the square reddish-brown candy on the table and said casually,
"You can't even buy it if you want to. You have to go to the black market to buy it.”
He had spent 5000 yuan to buy this brown sugar from the black market!
That's right, the black market had raised the price again. Now, it was ten times the original price. The speed at which its value soared was shocking!
"Father-in-law, this brown sugar is indeed good stuff!”
Yan Le sat opposite him and said hurriedly,
"The taste is so sweet that it can't be compared to cerealose! Now, it could be said that it was popular in Xianyang, and even the surrounding counties came to inquire!”
"After tasting the taste of brown sugar, those candies are out of business. They're going to close down!”
Yan Le was an unremarkable official in the Xianyang government office. He was originally unknown, but he was chosen by Zhao Gao as his son-in-law!
Since then, he had relied on his father-in-law's power to be promoted a few times in secret. He was already a jailer in the government office, which was also the warden!
His title was not high and his position was not high, but in Xianyang, he was still a small figure with real power!
As for why Zhao Gao chose him as his son-in-law?
Only the two of them would know.
"Sweep Xianyang? Haha…"
Zhao Gao knocked off a small piece of brown sugar and put it into the hot water. After seeing it slowly melt, he took a sip.
"Even the King of Qin praised it and gave it the title of high-grade.”
He held the cup and observed the color of the tea. He said softly,
"Now, the palace is always equipped with this thing. The king needs to use it at any time.”
Yan Le was shocked.
" Even His Majesty loves brown sugar?!"
He said enviously,
"I'm rich! The boss of this brown sugar shop had struck it rich!”
"According to the current market price, this piece of brown sugar can earn thousands of dollars! In a few days, he would become a millionaire!”
"Tsk tsk…money really comes fast."
Apart from envy, he was also a little jealous.
Who wouldn't be jealous of such quick money?
"Yes, such a huge profit. You can easily earn a million yuan.”
Zhao Gao nodded slightly and said with a faint smile,
"Even I want to do this kind of business…"
When Yan Le heard these words, he was instantly excited.
"You want to do this business?"
He stood up and said,
"If you want to do this business, it's easy!”
"I've asked around. That shop owner came to Xianyang with a group of Chu people. He's not from Qin, he's just an ordinary merchant!”
"Foreigners like him are like rootless duckweed in Xianyang! Wouldn't it be easy to control him?”
Zhao Gao didn't comment and took another sip of brown sugar tea.
"Fu Weng, leave this matter to this little son-in-law. I guarantee that he will eat and wipe clean without any mistakes!”
Yan Le thought of the huge profits from the brown sugar and his heart itched like a cat scratching it. He rubbed his hands and laughed,
"If we don't do anything about this huge profit, sooner or later, some powerful people will eat him up!”
"So we have to act as soon as possible and get there first! He didn't give others a chance to get a piece of the pie!”
"What do you think?"
Clack clack.
Zhao Gao's fingers tapped on the table. Under Yan Le's eager and fiery gaze, he nodded his head lightly.
"Don't be too ruthless. I still have a use for him.”
Zhao Gao said calmly,
"His Majesty is becoming more and more temperamental recently. Even I can't grasp his intentions.”
"Now, he likes to eat that brown sugar glutinous rice cake and also likes to drink that brown sugar ginger tea. It can be seen that this shop owner is still somewhat creative and suits His Majesty's appetite.”
"After we take over his shop, let him continue to be the shop owner and develop new products. As for us…we'll just treat it as his backer.”
Yan Le's eyes lit up as he nodded repeatedly.
"As long as we tell him, I'm sure he'll understand. Although we took his brown sugar business, we're also his backer. He won't lose out.”
He smiled proudly.
"If he was a little more ruthless, his business would probably be snatched away, and he might not even be able to protect his life!”
"You're still merciful.”
These words were shameless to a whole new level!
Merciful? He was simply a snake and a scorpion! If Qin Feng was here, he would probably curse out loud!
You robbed someone else's money tree and even said that it was for your own good and to protect your life. You pretended to be the so-called "backer".
Bah!
You're a whore and you still want to build a memorial archway!
Yan Le suddenly asked,
"What if he doesn't know how to appreciate favors and refuses to give up the shop?”
Pa!
Zhao Gao stood up and glanced at him with his hands behind his back. He casually said,
"Are you a prison official for nothing?”
"You have to ask me for such a small measure.”
After saying these two words, Zhao Gao left.
"Old, Old Fu!"
Yan Le was reprimanded, but his heart was greatly reassured! A sinister smile appeared on his face.
If the owner of the brown sugar shop had obediently given in, it would have been fine…
If he refused a toast only to drink a forfeit and refused to hand over the property, then don't blame him for using unscrupulous means!
As the warden of the Xianyang Local Government, he had ten thousand ways to kill a foreign merchant! He wanted him to kneel down and beg for mercy in prison!
……
Xianyang Prefecture.
A group of officials ran around in a hurry to do their work without stopping for a moment.
Shang Yang had stipulated that all the administrative departments of the Qin State had to do what was done today, which was why the government office was so busy.
Up to the monarch, down to the petty officials, all attach importance to efficiency!
At this moment, the chief official of the government office was unable to deal with government affairs because he had to welcome a group of uninvited guests.
"Black Ice Platform."
Zhang Han showed his token and said coldly,
"Chief Cai, you are in charge of the identity and origin of everyone in Xianyang, right?”
"Yes, yes, High Ambassador." Chief Cai said carefully," I wonder what you're here to investigate? I will definitely cooperate!"
The king of Qin had given the Black Ice Platform great power. If they wanted to investigate something, everyone could only cooperate. Those who disobeyed could be killed first and reported later!
Therefore, in Chief Cai's eyes, they were a bunch of Yama Kings who would draw their sabers at any moment! He had to serve her well…
"Help me investigate a person named Qin Feng. He's a merchant who's in the sugar business.”
Zhang Han didn't waste any time and quickly said,
"All his information, including his relatives and friends, as long as it's on file, give it to me! Don't miss a single one!"
" Do you understand?!"
Chief Cai was startled for a moment, then quickly nodded and said,""Investigate a merchant…The subordinate will have to go to the treasury to check the merchant's records. There are too many files, and it might take some time to find all of them.”
"How long?" Zhang Han crossed his arms.
"Uh…seven days?"
Chief Cai tried to give a number, but seeing Zhang Han's face turn cold, he quickly changed his words.
"Five days! If the officials sent people to search day and night, they would definitely be able to find all the information!”
" You know…Xianyang is so big, and there are so many merchants. We still need to find relevant people…We still have many government affairs to deal with, so this is the fastest we can do…"
Zhang Han laughed coldly.
"What could be more important than me?”
"You have administrative matters, and I also have a mission from the king! If I can't complete it, not only will I suffer, but none of you will have a good time!”
"Two days! I'll give you two days at most. I want all the information!”
"The time is set here.”
After saying those harsh words, Zhang Han flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind the stunned Chief Cai.
" Two…two days?!"
He said in despair,
"Kill me!"
In the next two days, he would probably have to pull an all-nighter to check the case files!!
