The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 55 Giving Money
Zichu nodded with satisfaction: "You have considered it carefully enough. You know the principle of tempting people with benefits, and the principle that benefits can tempt people is already rare and precious."

"This can be done. I will have someone send two thousand gold coins over tomorrow."

Zichu taught earnestly: "Remember, when doing anything, you must be well prepared. If you aim for the best, you will get the middle; if you aim for the middle, you will get the worst; if you aim for the worst, you will get nothing."

"When doing things, the most important thing is to prepare more capital."

"Give the extra five hundred gold to the Mohist family. This matter will not be done in the name of the Great Qin Court, but in your name. This money is for the Mohist family to do the work. The subsequent work will be based on technical production and protection of the Mohist heroes. Consider them a share, and don't let them pay."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Thank you for your teaching, father. I understand."

Zichu smiled and said, "If the Confucianists and Taoists are willing to get involved later, don't let them pay. Let them provide protection and use their connections well."

"I will tell Lü Buwei about this matter. Chang Lu and Qing Qin can go to him anytime if they have any questions. He is the old master anyway."

Ying Zheng said, "Thank you, father. I ask you not to spread my dream for the time being."

Zichu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why?"

"My child is still young, and a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I don't want to be too conspicuous. Moreover, I don't want people to think that my child is a supernatural person."

Zichu smiled inexplicably, saying, "Well, as you said, I will not publicize it recklessly."

"However, there are some things that still need to be said and done. I believe you all understand."

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded: "I understand, kid."

"There is one more thing I need your help with."

"Go ahead."

"I think everything needs checks and balances, and eggs should not be put in one basket."

"Now the Mohists are in charge of all the mechanical devices of our Great Qin. This is not a good thing in the long run. We still have to find another one. This will also give them some pressure and motivation."

"I want to invite Gongshujia to Qin. Let Luowang first invite Gongshuchou, the head of Gongshujia, to come and make Gongshujia return to Qin. I have confidence in this."

Zichu's face straightened, and he said, "This is a good thing. You can give it a try. It's not a big deal to use the net."

"However, you must be careful of Luowang. Luowang is a deadly weapon. No one knows when and why they were established. Although this organization is now affiliated with our Great Qin and obeys the orders of the Great Qin, it was not founded by our Great Qin, and it is not completely loyal. It can be used, but cannot be completely trusted, and it must not be allowed to grow recklessly."

Ying Zheng nodded: "I understand, I wonder what father thinks of Luowang?"

Zichu sneered, "What a bunch of weird guys, but surprisingly useful. I don't mind if these weird things break."

Ying Zheng was also happy to hear this: "Father is right."

Zichu laughed: "Now Luowang is in charge of Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze. Tomorrow, I will tell him that if there is a need for Luowang in the future, just send someone to find him."

Ying Zheng bowed and said, "Thank you, father. I am fine now. It is getting late. I will not disturb you. I will take my leave now."

Zichu smiled and said, "Go ahead. Zheng'er should also have a good rest."

He reminded her gently, "Remember, your father will always be your strongest support. Although you are smart, you are still young. No matter what happens, you can come to your father."

Ying Zheng stared at Zichu in amazement: "Father, I understand." After Ying Zheng left, Zichu held Zhao Ji in his arms and said with emotion: "Madam, you gave birth to a good son."

Zhao Ji said coquettishly: "He is also your son. I don't understand what you are talking about."

Zichu laughed: "Not understanding is a good thing, not understanding is a good thing."

Hehe smiled and picked up Zhao Ji, walking towards the bed: "Yes, he is also my son. Such a good son, let's have another one now."

"Hate~, you haven't showered yet~"

"Hehe, I have to take a shower soon anyway, just a little while."

“Disgusting~~~”

On the way back, Ying Zheng was still thinking: "It seems that Daqin is also very clear that Luowang is a chamber pot. In Daqin's eyes, Luowang is a chamber pot. He can't leave it for a moment. After he is done with it, he kicks it into the bed."

'It is true that a group of people who only have some military power do not understand the essence of power at all. They just parasitize on power and do some inexplicable things.'

"Apart from a bunch of inexplicable idiots, there are just a bunch of guys with ulterior motives. It's okay for this group of people to engage in some conspiracy, but it's incredible if they want to accomplish something big."

The next day, Zichu sent someone to deliver two thousand gold to Ying Zheng's palace. Ying Zheng summoned Chang Lu and Qing Qin, handed them one thousand two hundred gold, and told them not to worry about not having enough money, not to be stingy with it, and especially not to be stingy with his subordinates. If it was not enough, they could come and get more at any time.

He also sent someone to invite Xiangli Sheng to come.

After a while, Ran Hong came first.

When it comes to teaching Ying Zheng, Ran Hong is the most active, and the least active is the Taoist Chisongzi. In the past few days, he has not come once.

The two were teaching and learning, and after a long time, Xiang Lisheng came at the call.

Xiang Lisheng thought that Ying Zheng was anxious to get the mechanical equipment, so he was busy with the papermaking business when he left yesterday and did not return home all night, so he had no time to send someone to deliver it.

Today, Ying Zheng sent someone to invite him, so he went to his home to pick it up and delivered it personally. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart, "No matter how smart the young master is, and how blessed by fate, he is still a child. He can't wait even for one day."

When Xiang Lisheng came to the palace to ask for a meeting, Ran Hong was unhappy when he heard that Xiang Lisheng had arrived, and his brows couldn't help but frown.

Ying Zheng bowed and said, "Mr. Boyang, please take a rest for a while. I would like to ask Mr. Xiangli to come over. I have something else to discuss. I will be back soon."

Ran Hong smiled and said, "No problem, please go ahead, sir."

When Xiang Lisheng saw Ying Zheng, he wanted to bow. Ying Zheng stepped forward quickly, held him up, and said with a smile: "Sir, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

Without waiting for Xiang Lisheng to speak, he took the lead and said, "Mr. Xiang Li, Zheng hurriedly asked you to come here today because Zheng was inconsiderate yesterday."

"The papermaking matter is a private matter of Zheng before it is completed. I cannot trouble Mr. Xiangli and his disciples in vain."

"Besides, Zheng has other plans for this matter in the future, and he dare not forget the public for personal gain and use public resources for private purposes."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked someone to bring over five hundred gold coins, saying, "Mr. Xiangli, here are five hundred gold coins for making paper."

Xiang Lisheng couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. He originally thought that Ying Zheng couldn't wait to get the mechanical creation, but it turned out that he was talking about serious business and wanted to give money to the Mohist school. He felt embarrassed.
