"Xu Fu?"
Looking at the secret report in his hand, the First Emperor had a complicated expression.
The First Emperor had already looked through the simplified version of the world map that Su Han had drawn countless times and had planned many times with Wang Jian, Meng Yi, and the others on how to obtain more territories for Great Qin. He naturally understood how ridiculous the so-called celestial mountains were.
In addition, he had thought that he could obtain immortality in the past, but in the end, he had paid a huge price to obtain "immortal pills" that contained various poisons. The First Emperor's eyes could not help but be filled with killing intent.
The Great Qin Empire's supreme being had been played by a group of necromancers and had almost lost his life. This was something that could be tolerated, but what could not be tolerated?
"Your Majesty, Xu Fu indeed deserves to die. However, if it's possible, shouldn't we make his death more valuable?”
Looking at Meng Yi's expression, Su Han muttered to himself for a moment before opening his mouth to dissuade him.
"Please elaborate, Mr. Smith?"
the First Emperor said with a relaxed expression.
Meng Yi and Wang Jian both heaved a sigh of relief.
As expected, only Mr. Su could persuade the furious Emperor.
"From the time Xu Fu returned, I believe that Your Majesty has already seen that this Xu Fu is actually just a pawn of the old Qi aristocratic family!”
"If we reveal our killing intent towards Xu Fu now, these aristocratic families and clans will definitely increase their vigilance, which will be detrimental to our subsequent punishment plan!
Moreover, Xu Fu and the others were able to stay in contact with Linzi after drifting on the vast sea for more than a year. It was obvious that there must be people who were good at sailing in their fleet!
"Even though there are no celestial mountains on the few large islands across the sea from Great Qin, they are quite rich in resources. There are all kinds of mountains of gold, silver, and copper!”
Instead of killing everyone, it was better to just kill the chief culprit and let the others search for and mine for the imperial court to atone for their sins!”
Su Han said in a deep voice,
It was clearly stated in the geography class that although Fusang Island had many volcanoes, it did not lack precious metals, especially silver mines, which were ranked high in the entire world.
If they could find and mine it, it would be of great help to Great Qin, which was in dire need of construction.
At the very least, the uncivilized short natives on the island were also a good labor force. They would not make the fleet across the sea lose money.
It could also help Su Han vent the anger in his heart.
As long as it was the people of the later generations, they would not have a good impression of these people with extremely deep roots on the island.
"As you say, Mr. Smith!"
The First Emperor pondered for a moment and smiled again.
Leaving behind a portion of people to help the Imperial Court mine was not only beneficial to Great Qin, but also a better choice for the First Emperor himself.
The dispute over Xu Fu going out to sea two years ago had caused an uproar in the entire court. If it was exposed now as a scam, the First Emperor's prestige and image would be greatly affected.
On the contrary, according to Su Han's words, it would be much easier to deal with the aftermath if some of them were to be reused and find a few mountains of gold and silver on Fusang Island.
Moreover, no matter how despicable Xu Fu was, he was just a puppet placed in front of the stage. The real mastermind was still the Tian family and the other aristocratic families.
He could not let Xu Fu, who could be killed at any time, affect his subsequent plans!
...
"Big brother, good news!"
"Ever since he received the news that Xu Fu had successfully found the immortal pill, Ying Zheng had already sent Wang Jian to the seaside to expand the port. His imperial carriage will also set off immediately after the recruitment!”
"It's said that Su Han even tried to dissuade the tyrant a few times because of this. However, not only was he not accepted by the tyrant, but he was also demoted to be in charge of the examination of mechanism skills!”
Tian Heng rushed into the main hall with a face full of joy.
"Haha!"
"That tyrant Ying Zheng is indeed more concerned about his own life!”
"As long as Xu Fu returns, Su Han and his paper making technique will become the property of our Tian family!”
Tian Dan was also overjoyed.
Judging from the sensation caused by the new paper, once the Tian family mastered this technology, they would immediately become the target of flattery for the rich and powerful everywhere. They would be the true leaders of the aristocratic families!
In the future, not only would they have a greater chance of winning, but they might even be able to expand their territory and even replace Great Qin as the second sovereign to sweep across the Six Directions.
"Pass down the order to fully support Xu Fu and ensure that Su Han is captured!”
"I heard that Su Sheng is greedy and lecherous. We can prepare more in this area. As long as we can take it out, we will agree to it!”
After a long time, Tian Dan finally regained some of his calm and said excitedly.
"Yes, sir!"
Tian Heng hurriedly cupped his hands in agreement, leaving Tian Dan alone to continue laughing wildly at the hall.
......
Linzi Palace,
Su Han's courtyard.
Lu Zhi paced back and forth in his own small house, his beautiful eyes filled with a solemn expression.
Just a moment ago, she suddenly received an order from the Zhongche Manor to find out the technology of the paper-making technique.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lu Zhi was very clear that if he couldn't complete the mission, his family would suffer.
However, Lu Zhi was unwilling to let her betray Su Han.
Although the time that accompanied Su Han was only a short month, it was extremely unforgettable for Lu Zhi.
This master, who was addressed as Mister by Emperor Shi Huang, was not only extremely handsome, but he also treated her quite well.
Not only was her food, clothing, housing, and transportation better than the Lu family, which was originally considered a wealthy merchant, but what surprised Lu Zhi even more was that Su Han appreciated her talent very much. He often asked Lu Zhi to help draft some manuscripts and would also answer Lu Zhi's questions in detail.
This kind of sincere recognition weighed heavily in Lu Zhi's heart.
After all, even though she was the second daughter of the Lu family, Duke Lu, who had always valued sons over daughters, only treated the Lu sisters as tools for marriage. As a result, Lu Zhi was almost twenty years old and could be considered an old lady in Great Qin, but he had yet to get married.
On the contrary, Lu Zhi, who was a maid, felt true respect from Su Han.
However, that was Lu Zhi's family after all!
A few traces of resentment involuntarily flashed through Lu Zhi's heart.
If this Mr. Su really admired him, why didn't he want him?
It was said that he had asked Zhao Yue to accompany him on the first day.
Could it be that he also disliked his age?
If she became Su Han's concubine now, she would have more confidence if she wanted to ask Su Han for help to save her family from prison.
After hesitating for a long time, Lu Zhi finally made up his mind:
No matter what, Mr. Smith was so good to her. She could not harm him!
Moreover, the Lu family was just a small family in front of Mr. Su. They definitely could not afford to offend them.
Furthermore,
Mr. Smith, maybe it's not that he doesn't want me, but he's just too busy?
Lu Zhi's heart was in a mess, and her pretty face was filled with shyness as she slowly walked towards Su Han's main house.
