Chapter 23 Let the fine salt fly, Li Si is lazy!(1/2)

 Bang!

The bamboo slips hit the wooden table.

Cao Xiu was so shocked that she jumped up.

"Good on you, Cao Xiu!"

Qin Shihuang and Wang Jian stood in front of them.

Everyone is furious.

Especially Wang Jian, his teeth were almost broken. He worked hard to fight for the Qin State, committed suicide when he attacked Chu to dispel the emperor's doubts, and finally earned the Pinyang Wang family glory and wealth.

What did Cao Xiu do?

After eating and drinking, lie down on the lounge chair.

You don’t have to do anything, you can make money every day!

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Who knows how many side jobs Cao Xiu has secretly done. He is really comfortable as the director of the pavilion, and earns much more than the three gongs and nine ministers.

The status of merchants in the Qin State is definitely the lowest, but there are also high ones. For example, the Wushiluo who herded cattle and horses for Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang ordered Ruobi to be a king in order to invite ministers to court. Or the Ba widow who died of illness last year.

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qin Shihuang ordered him to be buried in Xianyang and built Huaiqing Terrace.

Whether your status is high or not depends on how much money you have.

If it is useful to the country, its status will definitely be high.

As for Cao Xiu?

He is much more refreshing than Widow Wuluo!

Wuluo grazes cattle and horses all year round, and is exposed to the wind and sun. Widow Qing arranges for manpower to transport cinnabar. The road in Shu is quite difficult, and if you are not careful, you will fall off a cliff and die.

Wang Jian is not jealous, but unwilling. No matter how much Cao Xiu earns, it is useless. After all, he is just a small pavilion chief. With the things Cao Xiu did, it is not an exaggeration to confiscate his house.

"Um? Have you two settled it?"

"Of course!"

"Not bad, the calculation is pretty fast."

Qin Shihuang showed a cold look on his face and said angrily: "If you don't count, I don't know that you, Cao Xiu, are so capable. You can make a fortune every day with this private favor!"

"It's easy to talk about, but it's just so-so."

"Well, I didn't praise you!"

"That is?"

"You earn so much, is it worthy of your conscience?"

"Damn...so this is what happened?" Cao Xiu suddenly looked helpless, "Have you done any business?"

"No..."

"Come here, let me tell you. To do business, you must first win over the powerful and clear the relationship. Only if they agree with you can the deal be successful. After you get the money, the old rule is to divide it into 30% and 70%."

"Why is it only 70%?"

"Seventy percent belongs to me, so I'll settle for 30%!"

"Aren't you just kneeling down to beg for food?"

"What do you think?"

Cao Xiu let out a long sigh, "Look at how much I earn, but I also spend a lot. Not to mention smoothing the relationship, my cost is also very high. Think about the firewood and coal used to cook salt, and the labor for transportation...

…These are all money. I have been working hard for a year, and I can only earn hard-earned money."

Qin Shihuang's eyebrows almost knitted together. He was so disgusted by Cao Xiu's words that he felt uncomfortable all over. If someone else had said this, he might still believe it. Cao Xiu obviously didn't do anything, but he still had the nerve to say that he worked hard. Those who did it for

When Qin went to war, it was really hard work for the soldiers who died on the battlefield!

You, the pavilion chief, are supposed to be managing the place with a three-foot wooden tablet, but instead you are busy making wine, making salt, and fishing for oil and water. How can you have the nerve to say that it is hard work?

"You...you..."

The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon!

Cao Xiu silently cursed herself.

Some actors in the past life went on the show and said that although they earned a lot of money, it was still very hard, but this actor had no acting skills or works. Cao Xiu, who was farming, wanted to give them two words to see if they would go crazy.<

/p>

"Brother, would you like to come and take a look at these accounts?"

"Okay!"

Wang Ling came immediately.

He also has bamboo slips in his hand, which were calculated by his subordinates.

The two bamboo slips verified each other and nodded.

"Xiu'er, you really found a treasure!" Wang Ling exclaimed: "The calculation was done quickly and accurately, without any mistakes. On the contrary, my subordinate, who has been working for more than ten years, actually missed two calculations.

Article."

"That's natural!"

Qin Shihuang spoke with great confidence.

He has to review one hundred and twenty kilograms of bamboo slips every day, which is no joke. All matters in the world, big and small, depend on him. He submits his submissions day and night. If he fails to submit, he will not be able to rest. He can calculate all major national affairs accurately.

How can it be so difficult to get him for small accounts?

Wang Ling looked at the child in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

"It's better than this, you worship Nai Gong as your adoptive father."

"Bold!"

"Presumptuous!"

"???"

Cao Xiu stood up quickly, dumbfounded, "Sister-in-law, if you don't do this, I finally picked up two talented people, so you can't poach me."

"Hahaha!"

Wang Ling laughed heartily.

"Since the accounts are correct, Xiu will go back first. A distinguished guest is coming in a few days, so Xiu has to go back to prepare. I hope my sworn brother will forgive me."

"It's okay, remember to bring wine next time."

"Ahem, okay!"

Cao Xiu smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Who is the distinguished guest you are talking about?"

"You don't know."

"Is it a county magistrate?"

"No."

"What kind of distinguished guest is that?"

"The man is not big, but his tone is not small."

"..."

Qin Shihuang was speechless for a moment.

In fact, he was still anxious.

He was not in a hurry to return to Xianyang. After climbing Langya Mountain, he liked the beautiful scenery there very much and planned to stay for three months before leaving. During this period, he also ordered 30,000 Guizhou households to move to the foot of Langya Terrace, saving them twelve years.

taxes.

Fortunately, the dragon boat he was riding in was overturned by waves. When he woke up, he was rejuvenated and lost his identity. He now wanted to contact Li Si and the others quickly to avoid chaos. If the news of his disappearance spread, those who were already uneasy would

The remnants of the six kingdoms who have been divided will definitely take action!

Li Si, you are lazy...

……

……

Three days later.

A carriage drove to Surabaya Pavilion.

The road attracted the attention of many Guizhou leaders. These days, a horse is worth 5,000 yuan, and an adult military horse is worth more than 10,000 yuan. The key is that even if you have money, you cannot buy a good military horse. As the saying goes, those who have merit will be honored, and those who have no merit will be honored.

Although rich, there is no glory. If a merchant has no great achievements, then he will only be worthy of a short-legged horse.

What is in front of me is a pony.
