As soon as the First Emperor spoke, all the officials were shocked. Everyone knew that Great Qin was about to change.
"Your Majesty, this subject is wronged!"
"Your Majesty, although I am from the Du family of Nanyang, I have lived in Xianyang for a long time and have no contact with the Du family.”
"Your Majesty, this subject is innocent."
In an instant, several officials knelt on the ground. They were all surnamed Du and came from the Du family of Nanyang.
The First Emperor was furious when he heard this. He kicked the basket beside him and said," You still dare to complain?”
"Where are the guards in front of the palace? Drag these people out and kill them.”
Immediately, a group of black-armored guards rushed in and dragged the crying people out.
A moment later, a scream sounded.
The outcome of these few people could be imagined.
"I'm telling you, don't think that I won't kill just because I'm old.”
At this moment, Shi Huang was extremely furious. He didn't expect that a small Du family would dare to do so many disobedient things.
What angered him the most was that the soldiers of Nanyang City had become the private army of the Du family. These soldiers, who should have belonged to Great Qin, had actually attacked the Great Qin Young Master, which shocked and angered the Emperor.
At the same time, he became vigilant,[If the Du Family can do this, what about the other families?] What about the nobles of the Six Nations?
The more Shi Huang thought about it, the more shocked he became. At the same time, the idea of inspecting the world once again rose in his heart.
Shihuang looked at Ying Ziyu and nodded in satisfaction. Only today did he truly see that among his many children, only Yu 'er was the most similar to him.
He had strategy, shrewdness, courage, and the rarest thing was his decisiveness in killing.
After some bargaining, Ying Ziyu returned to the Young Master Pavilion after handing over more than half of the money he had plundered from the Du Clan.
Ying Ziyu had just returned to his bedroom when the system's voice rang out in his mind.
[Ding-Dong: The host has completed Chain Mission 1: Investigate the embezzled pension.
[Reward: A Special Talent Summoning Card, a recipe for making cement, and a box of hotpot seasoning.]
[Chain Mission 2: Build a Cemetery for Martyrs]
[Mission Reward: Unknown]
[Mission Duration: One year.]
[Punishment for failure: None]
After the completion of the mission, the next mission will be issued.
Hearing the system notification in his mind, Ying Ziyu became excited.
"Hot pot seasoning, I can finally improve my diet.”
After the excitement, Ying Ziyu remembered that the system had also rewarded him with a special talent summoning card. He wondered what kind of special talent he could summon.
"System, give me the Special Talent Summoning Card.”
Ding-dong. The host has successfully used the Special Talent Summoning Card. You have received a Special Talent: Shen Wansan.
The system had already erased Shen Wansan's past memories, preserving his talents, preferences, and personality! He has been given the identity of a newly recruited butler. He is 100% loyal.
"Shen Wansan?"
Ying Ziyu was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Wansan to be summoned. Shen Wansan wasn't just a businessman, he was a legend.
The words 'wealth comparable to a country' were vividly reflected on him.
"System, where is Shen Wansan now?”
As soon as Ying Ziyu finished speaking, Qin Feng ran over.
" Young Master, there's a person called Shen Wansan outside. He said that he's your newly recruited butler. You see…"
Ying Ziyu smiled when he heard that." That's right. Bring him to the main hall."”
Qin Feng looked at Ying Ziyu with a puzzled expression before running out. A moment later, Ying Ziyu saw this famous historical figure in the hall of Young Master Pavilion.
Shen Wan and his two brothers were not considered too tall and were slightly plump. They had a square face and had short beards, giving people a very intimate feeling.
"I am Shen Wansan. Greetings, Young Master.”
Shen Wansan had a smile on his face as he greeted Ying Ziyu respectfully.
Ying Ziyu nodded. Then, he instructed everyone,"This is Shen Wansan, he will be our Head Butler from now on."
"Qin Feng, bring Old Shen to familiarize himself with the environment first.”
"Yes."
Qin Feng immediately accepted the order.
Shen Wansan's arrival was a timely help to Ying Ziyu.
Originally, he had been worried about making money. Of course, he wasn't worried about how to make money, but about who to choose. After all, he was the Young Master of Great Qin, and in this era where agriculture was valued and commerce was suppressed, he couldn't personally do business.
Therefore, he had to find a suitable person to manage the business for him. This person not only had to be proficient in the way of doing business, but also had to be loyal enough to him.
Now that Shen Wansan had arrived, this problem was solved perfectly.
As evening approached, Ying Ziyu introduced Shen Wansan to everyone.
"Come, Old Shen, try this tea.”
As he spoke, Ying Ziyu poured a cup of tea for Shen Wansan. Shen Wansan didn't stand on ceremony. He took the cup and drank it. After taking a sip, his eyes lit up.
Then, he savored it carefully before saying,"Young Master, I, Old Shen, have never drunk such good tea in my life.”
"If this tea is sold, it will definitely make the nobles of the world flock to it and be willing to pay!”
Ying Ziyu smiled when he heard this. He had been waiting for this sentence.
"You're right, this Young Master has the same intention. I'll leave this matter to you.”
Ying Ziyu patted Shen Wansan's shoulder and said with a smile.
Shen Wansan's eyes lit up when he heard that. He quickly stood up and said solemnly,"
"Young Master, don't worry. This subordinate will definitely make this tea popular in every corner of Great Qin.”
"Haha, good. With Old Shen's words, this Young Master can rest assured.”
"Qin Feng, inform the kitchen to prepare some mutton, venison, vegetable bone soup, and so on. This young master wants to eat hot pot today.”
Qin Feng was slightly stunned. After which, he asked in puzzlement,"Young Master, what is this hotpot?”
"What's with all the nonsense? Hurry up and tell the kitchen to prepare. Oh right, all the meat must be cut into thin slices.”
"Yes, I'll go and instruct the kitchen to prepare it.”
Qin Feng immediately ran out, but not long after, he rushed back.
"Hey, kid, why did you come back? Hurry up and go."
Ying Ziyu said helplessly as he looked at the flustered Qin Feng.
"No, I'm not. No, Young Master…Your Majesty... His Majesty is here."
"What? Brother Zheng is here?" Ying Ziyu was stunned and muttered softly, almost scaring Qin Feng, Hong Xiu, and the others to death.
After a moment of shock, Ying Ziyu led everyone to the courtyard to welcome Qin Shi Huang.
Qin Shi Huang didn't come alone, he was accompanied by Meng Yi and Zhang Han. Seeing Ying Ziyu come out to welcome him, Qin Shi Huang nodded his head in satisfaction, then his gaze landed on Yan Di, he couldn't help but sigh,"What a burly man."
"Imperial Father, please come in.”As they spoke, Ying Ziyu brought them into the hall.
Everyone sat down and Ying Ziyu said,""Father, why do you have the time to come to my place?”
"The palace was troubled, so I came out to take a walk and take a breather. I happened to pass by your Yuxuan Pavilion and came to take a look.”
Qin Shi Huang said it casually, but Ying Ziyu didn't think so.
Brother Zheng was most likely here for something.
"It's all because of those clans.”
The attendant beside him muttered softly.
Ying Ziyu knew this person. His name was Liu Shu, and he was the new Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate. He could be considered Zhao Gao's successor, but compared to Zhao Gao, he was still lacking.
Qin Shi Huang glared at him, and Liu Shu quickly shut up.
As for Ying Ziyu, he was stunned. It seemed like Brother Zheng had really encountered some trouble in the palace.
After a moment of silence, he sneered." Father, why do you have to worry about those clans? If you ask me, none of them are good people. It's not too much to kill them all."”
Qin Shi Huang glared at Ying Ziyu and said helplessly,""That's easy for you to say. More than half of Great Qin's officials are from the Great Clans. If we kill them all, wouldn't our world fall into chaos?”
When Ying Ziyu heard this, he said disdainfully,"Father, the danger of this clan is not in the number of people or the level of status…" It's because they control the world's knowledge and the economic lifeline..."
When the First Emperor heard this, he shook his head helplessly." How could I not know about this? It's just that…"
At this point, Qin Shi Huang was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes lit up as he stared at Ying Ziyu."You have a way?"
Ying Ziyu placed his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly. He looked at the dark sky and said indifferently,"The method is very simple. Establishing an academy will open up the minds of the people!"
