Chapter 222 Perfect solution
"Alas...! Living life, you have to work since you are born, and your son has to worry about money at a young age. It is really difficult!"
With tears welling up in his eyes, Xiao Zhengtai said something that would be familiar to later generations, but very rare in Da Qin.
"well said!"
One sentence immediately resonated with Ying Zheng.
Although he is an emperor, he still has to worry about money every day!
We can’t help the victims without money!
Without money, we cannot arm the army and provide food and wages!
It is even said that no one is willing to serve as an official in the court without money!
As this kid said, you have to work since you were born!
Even if they were born into an imperial family, they still have to worry about money all day long!
Not only Ying Zheng, but also the few eunuchs serving around him were deeply touched!
If it were not forced by life, who would be willing to take that knife?
They all really couldn't survive. If they didn't enter the palace, they would have to wait to starve to death. In desperation, they chose to enter the palace!
However, life after entering the palace is not so easy. You have to work non-stop every day. Anyone who is lazy will not be able to survive in this palace!
"What the young master said makes sense!"
"That's right! Money is needed everywhere in life!"
"We only saw the young master's money-making side, but we couldn't see his spending side!"
"Yes, the young master is still just a child after all...!"
Several young eunuchs around Ying Zheng murmured quietly.
Even adults like them have a very hard life for money and life, let alone a child!
"I can't help it. I've really remembered a lot of new things that master taught me recently. It's a pity that I don't have money...!"
Mr. Shota shrugged helplessly and continued: "Take this telescope as an example. If it could be mass-produced, it would be of great help to the war effort. It's a pity that it won't work!"
After saying that, Xiao Zhengtai shook his head helplessly and walked forward with his little feet.
However, Ying Zheng still did not speak.
On the contrary, it made the little eunuchs around him anxious!
Your Majesty is really stingy. The young master only cares about the Qin Dynasty, but your majesty doesn’t want to pull out a hair and always wants to bully the young master!
Of course, they only dare to think about this in their hearts and never dare to say it out loud!
Unless the brain is gone!
step!
Two steps!
Three steps!
…
Thirty steps!
Young Shota tried his best to slow down his pace.
He thought he had done a good job in this drama, and the telescope was quite attractive, but why didn't this old guy call him one?
"etc……"
Just when he thought his plan had failed, Ying Zheng's slightly heavy voice suddenly came from behind him.
But to Xiao Zhengtai, this voice sounded like the sound of nature, and his little mouth immediately opened into a smile.
The moment he turned around, he suddenly changed back to the pitiful little appearance he had before, which made people feel heartbroken when he saw it!
"Father, is there anything else?"
"Um... how much would it cost to manufacture telescopes in large quantities?"
The thought of having to shell out a large sum of money made Ying Zheng feel like a knife.
But for the long term, he still has to pay for it!
"From building the factory to developing the finished product, you can still get tens of thousands of gold!"
Xiao Zhengtai clasped his fingers and made an estimate in his mind.
"What? It costs tens of thousands of gold?"
The muscles on Ying Zheng's face suddenly twitched twice.
I just received more than 10,000 gold. I didn't expect that it would cost tens of thousands of gold to produce a telescope!
In other words, not only did he not make any money, but he also had to pay for it?
"That's right! Father, have you seen the colored glass on this telescope? Just this small piece is very precious...!"
Xiao Zhengtai took out the telescope, gently tapped the glass with his tiny fingers, and explained: "Besides, this is an extremely special kind of glass. It is very difficult to make. It doesn't cost tens of thousands of gold. It's really impossible!"
In this era, glass did not exist yet, so when he first met Zhang Han, he was able to trick him with a small glass mirror!
"It turns out to be made of colored glaze, no wonder it's so transparent!"
Seeing the transparent thing on it, Ying Zheng suddenly understood.
He wanted to ask when he was fiddling with it just now, but the two of them said one sentence after another and forgot about it!
"That's why I said it was relatively expensive to build. I guess it only costs 50,000 gold!"
Xiao Zhengtai banged his head and thought for a long time, stretched out his little palm, and said.
"Hiss... Fifty thousand gold, this is not a small number!"
Ying Zheng took a deep breath.
After seeing Ying Zheng's reaction, Xiao Zhengtai reflected for a moment, could it be that he wanted too much?
What will happen if this old guy regrets it?
"Um...Father, I am the prince of the Qin Dynasty. I should share my father's worries. I happen to have some spare money in my hands. How about we each take half and hold 50% of the shares?"
In order not to let the cooked duck fly away, Xiao Shota put on a righteous expression and asked.
I don’t know if this old guy can agree!
"Is this true?"
Ying Zheng seemed to have heard some great good news, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked excitedly.
"Well! I always keep my word!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded.
"Although my son is young, he understands my heart very well. He is much better than your brothers...!"
Hearing that the young lady wanted to help share half of the burden, Ying Zheng was so moved that he immediately agreed, "Well, I will order someone to send the gold and silver jewelry I just found at Guanyi to you, and I will leave the rest.
Please order the treasury to dial it again!"
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. Li's family should be confiscated because he committed treason against the enemy. It is estimated that after being the prime minister for so many years, he should have some wealth. My son is willing to do it for me. The proceeds from the confiscation of the family should be almost enough to make up for the remaining fifteen thousand gold. If
If it’s not enough, all my sons and ministers will make up for it!”
After getting Zha's father's permission and getting the 10,000 gold from the Huns envoy to blackmail Li Si, the young lady was concerned about Li Si's family background again.
Being able to give those envoys 10,000 gold, I guess this old guy should still have a lot in his family!
At least more than fifteen thousand gold, this errand will definitely not be a loss!
"My son is still thoughtful, hehe!"
Ying Zheng agreed without even thinking about it, even smiling and looking very happy!
By this calculation, he can mass-produce telescopes and enhance his military power without spending a penny!
At this moment, he was even happier than when he had just won 10,000 gold for free!
"As the prince of the Qin Dynasty, my son should share his father's worries and benefit the people!"
The young lady bowed her hands and showed an innocent little face.
"Um……!"
Ying Zheng nodded with great satisfaction, and the father and son headed to Yuxiu Palace together.
