"Haha."
"Emperor teacher, just say who you want. Zhen will promise you anything. Why do you need to win this bet?”
Ying Zheng, who was in a good mood, also smiled brightly and let Chen Beixuan speak freely.
Chen Beixuan did not even care about the throne. He only wanted to pursue immortality.
Ying Zheng had been worrying about how to reward Chen Beixuan. Now that Chen Beixuan had taken the initiative to ask for it, Ying Zheng was overjoyed. How could he refuse?
"Zhao Gao, Commander of the Central Carriage Prefecture, Lord Zhao.”
Chen Beixuan did not stand on ceremony and asked Ying Zheng for Zhao Gao.
"Zhao Gao?"
Ying Zheng was very surprised, and even found it hard to believe.
He had thought that Chen Beixuan would ask for talents like Left Prime Minister Li Si and High Minister Meng Yi, but he did not expect Chen Beixuan to ask for Zhao Gao.
"Imperial Teacher, you should think it through. Although Zhao Gao is a little smart, he is too scheming and can't be of great use!”
Left with no choice, Ying Zheng could only remind Chen Beixuan to find another candidate.
This Zhao Gao had a lot of tricks up his sleeves, and his underlings were not clean either. Ying Zheng was very clear about this. It was just that he had been using Zhao Gao for so many years, and he had been using him very well, which was why he had kept him around.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
Even if he killed Zhao Gao, Li Gao and Zhang Gao would still appear. Moreover, these people might not be as useful as Zhao Gao. Anyway, with him around, Zhao Gao was just an obedient dog that could be crushed at any time.
This was the confidence of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng!
From the beginning to the end, he knew what Zhao Gao was thinking, but he didn't pursue it.
Chen Beixuan immediately understood what Ying Zheng was thinking and could not help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Ying Zheng was indeed worthy of being called the emperor of the ages. Throughout the five thousand years of Rabbit's life, Ying Zheng could be ranked in the top three in terms of foresight, means, wisdom, structure, and achievements.
Unfortunately.
He was the only Emperor in history who had never thought that he would die suddenly, causing the position of the Crown Prince to not be established, allowing Zhao Gao and Li Si to take advantage of the loophole.
What he didn't expect even more was…
That idiot, Chang Fusu, had a commander like Meng Tian in his hands. He had 300,000 elite soldiers of Great Qin, but he was forced to commit suicide by a fake edict.
As a result, Zhao Gao was able to call a deer a horse and control the government, causing the huge Great Qin Empire to fall apart within a year. In the end, he caused the second generation of the Qin Empire to die and be labeled as a tyrant.
"No worries."
"This venerable self wants such an intelligent villain. Your Majesty, please find another Zhongche Prefecture Token.”
"Fine."
"Since the Imperial Teacher has taken the initiative to ask for it, then this one will give Zhao Gao to you. As for the position of Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate, you can just find someone else to replace him.”
Ying Zheng didn't say anything more. It was just Zhao Gao, so he could just give him to the emperor's teacher.
Just like that.
The Prefect of Zhongche Prefecture, the favorite of the Emperor, had become Chen Beixuan's subordinate in just a few words, and he would be welcomed by a hundred pigs produced by the system.
"Imperial Teacher."
"I came to look for you today because of the emptiness of the national treasury. Do you think this refined salt can quickly enter the market and become an income for the national treasury?”
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Beixuan with fervent eyes.
Chen Beixuan thought to himself.
Old Zheng was dreaming. He wanted to take the profits of the refined salt for himself. He was trying to get something for nothing.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that I have 220,000 mouths under me?”
"Ahem…"
"Emperor teacher, is this okay? I will use the name of the imperial court to buy salt from you. The price will be fifty wen per catty.”
Ying Zheng was also a little embarrassed, but there was not a hint of fear on his face.
As the First Emperor of Great Qin, it was understandable for him to be thick-skinned for the sake of the people.
"Impossible!"
"The refined salt can be handed over to the government to sell, but the income will be split 30 - 70%, 30% of the national treasury, and the remaining 70% will belong to me.”
Chen Beixuan refused.
What a joke.
Chen Beixuan would never give up a consumable like salt, not even the First Emperor.
After all, there were more than 200,000 mouths waiting for him.
" Four or six, I guess. You don't know, Imperial Teacher. I know it hasn't been easy these past few years. It's been quite a few years..."
Looking at Chen Beixuan and Ying Zheng, Li Er and the others were dumbfounded. They wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to. Their faces were almost red.
But they didn't dare to laugh.
That was the First Emperor and the Imperial Teacher of the current dynasty, the person who controlled their lives.
"50 - 50. It's not easy."
In the end.
Chen Beixuan was too lazy to argue with Ying Zheng, so he chose to split the odds equally.
"Alright!"
Seeing this, Ying Zheng agreed immediately, smiling like a flower.
Look!
This is my power. With just a few words, I have added a stable income to the national treasury.
Never in his wildest dreams would Ying Zheng have thought that the income brought by the refined salt would far exceed his imagination.
……
……
After settling all the matters, Ying Zheng had another hotpot meal here, before returning to Xianyang with satisfaction.
The first thing he did when he returned to Xianyang was to find Zhao Gao and ask him to pack his things so that he could serve Emperor Chen Beixuan in Epang Palace.
Zhao Gao was dumbfounded. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, crying,"Your Majesty!"
"This old servant has served Your Majesty for more than twenty years and has always done his best. This old servant does not dare to be negligent in the slightest.”
"Enough!"
"It's because you put in enough effort that zhen let you serve the emperor's teacher. Don't disappoint zhen's expectations, understand?”
Ying Zheng's face turned cold, and the temperature turned bone-chilling.
"Here."
Seeing that Ying Zheng had made up his mind to let him serve Chen Beixuan, Zhao Gao did not dare to continue begging, so he could only pinch his nose and agree.
After returning to his residence, Zhao Gao could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He smashed all the porcelain in the room to vent his anger.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
Looking at the furious Zhao Gao, someone carefully went forward to ask.
However…
What responded to him was a large hand covered in ice.
In an instant.
This person turned into an ice sculpture at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, Zhao Gao slapped out another palm, and this person turned into ice shards.
The entire process happened in a flash. That person did not even have the chance to scream before he turned into ice shards on the ground. This terrifying scene made the scalps of the remaining people go numb.
"Damn it!"
"I'm already not prepared to provoke him, so why does he have to keep staring at me?”
Zhao Gao's dark eyes were filled with killing intent and ruthlessness, as if killing people was very common to him.
"Yes."
"Send Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang, Yu, Zhou, Hong, and Huang to see me!”
