"Yes!"
Zhao Gao hurriedly lowered his head and walked out in small steps.
As he walked past them, he looked at the professors.
To the bystanders, Zhao Gao's eyes were filled with amazement, as if he was praising them for another victory.
"So what if he's the emperor? He's still afraid of the endless mouths of the scholars in the world!”
Gui Zhen's chin was raised high, and a smug look appeared on his wrinkled face.
The emperor did not dare to offend all the scholars in the world.
And these doctors represented the scholars of the world!
The eight professors looked at each other and smiled.
It was as if he had won another great battle.
From their point of view, the emperor had ordered Qin Mu to be captured to help them vent their anger.
If he didn't kill that kid, how could he restore the prestige of the Great Scholar?
These great Confucians relied on the prestige of their numerous disciples and had already joined forces more than once to oppose the Emperor.
In order to win the hearts of the scholars, the First Emperor had also compromised and tolerated them time and time again.
However…
The Emperor's painstaking efforts did not seem to influence these self-conceited scholars.
On the contrary, he thought that he had grasped the Emperor's weakness and was pushing his luck.
At the same time…
"Young Master, the door of the newly opened brown sugar shop on the commercial street is almost broken! You didn't see it, but those merchants were all crazy!”
Ergeng stood at the side with his hands hanging down, vividly describing the hot scene of the brown sugar shop.
Qin Mu lay on the rocking chair in the courtyard and leisurely took a sip of tea with an indifferent expression.
Everything was within his expectations.
Honey was expensive, and only nobles could afford it.
Malt sugar was made from wheat or millet through fermentation.
Food was very precious to the common people.
Especially the former Han Country. They fell into the Qin Country's scheme and crazily smelted bronze. In the end, even their fields were abandoned.
The commoners had no food and could only flee to the State of Qin in order to survive.
After the war, it was already good enough for the people of the six dynasties to have a full meal.
Malt sugar made from grains was relatively cheaper than honey, but how could it be cheaper than brown sugar made from sugar cane?
As soon as brown sugar was introduced, merchants with a keen sense of smell immediately smelled the opportunity to make a fortune.
Great Qin had built roads that led to the entire country, making it much more convenient for merchants to trade.
If he could buy a large amount of brown sugar, he could sell it to other counties.
This was a profitable business!
It was just that the production of brown sugar was limited, and the purchase quantity was limited, so they could not buy it.
"In order to buy brown sugar, those merchants even hired people to line up! The line was so long that even the First Lieutenant's Office was alarmed and even sent people to maintain order!”
Second, he danced around and described the popular scene of the brown sugar shop. He was full of admiration for the young master who created brown sugar!
The corners of Qin Mu's lips curled up, and he had a smug expression.
The popularity of the brown sugar business had long been expected.
This was especially so when the First Lieutenant's Office, which was in charge of the security of the capital, had sent people to supervise the maintenance of order. He was even more proud of the fact that he had been willing to give the bulk of his business to the Imperial Court.
If they were ordinary merchants, would they be able to get the First Lieutenant Department to maintain order?
Perhaps they would send troops, but it was hard to say whether they would come to maintain order or seal the shop…
"Young Master, Widow Qing from Ba County and Wu Shiluo from Beidi County have come to see you.”
Barkley lowered his hand and reported in a low voice.
"Widow Qing?"
Qin Mu suddenly sat up straight, and his eyes revealed a look of interest.
Widow Qing was one of the earliest female entrepreneurs in China and even in the world.
After her husband's death, Widow Ba stayed behind to protect the family business with her strong financial resources.
They even had private soldiers.
It was one of the main sources of mercury in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum.
After unifying the six countries, the autocratic rule was strengthened. The private armed forces of the local tyrants were confiscated by Qin Shihuang, and this famous female entrepreneur was also moved to Xianyang.
Widow Qing's family was extremely wealthy, and she had nothing to do with him, a small figure who had just arrived in Xianyang.
Obviously, he was here for the brown sugar business.
What surprised him was that…
The Wu family raised livestock in Beidi County. It was unexpected that a chief herdsman would be interested in the brown sugar business.
"Please!"
Qin Mu stood up and instructed.
He originally had a plan in his mind, but he was still thinking about how to implement it.
The two of them had taken the initiative to visit, which was an opportunity.
Qing Zhu stretched out her little hand and tidied the young master's wrinkled clothes. She stood obediently at the side.
"Yes, sir!"
Barkley lowered his head and hurriedly went to make the arrangements.
Qin Mu's finger brushed across her pretty face and teased,""Come, accompany this young master to meet these two big corporations!”
Qing Zhu's pretty face turned red. She lowered her little head and hurriedly followed.
Ergeng blinked his eyes and hurriedly chased after her.
As the young master's personal servant, he naturally had to wait on him at all times.
A middle-aged man and a beautiful middle-aged woman sat opposite each other in the spacious front hall.
The two of them looked at the chair and table curiously.
This kind of four-legged high-back chair and the high-legged table beside it were simply unprecedented.
Especially the chair, which had a soft cushion.
Compared to kneeling, it seemed more comfortable.
From Qin Mu's point of view, he naturally had to enjoy life when he had money.
He was really not used to kneeling, so he spent a lot of money to find a craftsman to build a batch of tables and chairs in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
"Hahaha, the two of you have graced my humble residence with your presence!”
From afar, Qin Mu's passionate voice could be heard.
"Greetings, Mr. President."
"Greetings, Mr. President."
The two of them hurriedly stood up and bowed.
Obviously, he had done a lot of research before coming.
According to the feedback, although Brown Sugar Mill was under the management of the internal officials, the real decision-maker was the young man in front of him.
Although the president wasn't an official position in the court, it could still be used as an official title.
"Please take a seat."
Qin Mu cupped his hands and a warm smile hung on his face.
Ever since Shang Yang's reform, Great Qin had placed emphasis on the foundation and suppressed the end. They suppressed the trade and crafts, and the status of merchants was very low.
However, the two in front of him were special cases.
He was the same as the monarch, and he followed the ministers into the palace to worship at the appointed time.
These two gods of wealth didn't dare to be negligent.
Soon, Qing Zhu served the tea.
Qin Mu stretched out his hand and smiled.”
After saying that, he opened the tea lid and blew on it before taking a sip.
Ba Qing and Wu Shiluo looked at the cup of tea on the table in surprise, then followed suit and gently blew and took a sip.
Instantly, a faint fragrance wafted from his lips and teeth.
The two of them widened their eyes in surprise.
He had never thought that the tea leaves used in medicine would taste so fragrant and delicious!
She took a sip and tasted something different. She couldn't help but take another sip.
When Qin Mu saw their expressions, the corners of his lips curled up.
"If you like it, I'll get someone to wrap some for you later."”
The two of them didn't stand on ceremony and smiled." Thank you, Mr. President."”
"You're welcome."
Qin Mu smiled and nodded. He lowered his head and sipped his tea without saying anything else.
Ba Qing and Wu Shiluo took a deep look, their eyes filled with surprise.
"This person is not simple!"
