Through Time Chapter 104

Tian Lao saw Zhao Lang’s appearance, but nodded slightly.

“When a sage falls, the people of heaven and earth have their own senses.”

Zhao Lang was silent for a few minutes before he gathered his thoughts and spoke

“Elder Tian, the night is cold, it is better to go back to the manor and rest.”

Tian Lao said, with a smile.

“No harm, looking at these crops is comforting to the old man.”

“I see that in another month or so, these crops will be ready for harvest.”

Zhao Lang nodded his head to that

“Well, it will certainly be a big surprise for you then.”

The field, so to speak, was finely cultivated, with several people taking turns to look after it.

Not to mention fertilising and de-worming, etc.

Any yield of less than a thousand pounds per mu is considered a failure.

Of course, in today’s Qin, a yield of five hundred pounds per mu is considered high!

Not to mention, there was a difference in the unit of measurement.

Tian Lao nodded his head happily and

“I’m looking forward to it too, old man!”

Unable to persuade Elder Tian, Zhao Lang could only go back to the farm by himself.

Zhao Lang had already gotten the land deed.

So he didn’t want to delay for a moment, and spent the next few days basically discussing the requirements of the new manor house with a few people, the shopkeeper Liu.

“My lord, you want to make a two-storey house out of stone?”

“This underground passage that is three feet wide and six feet deep and has to be connected to the latrine, this…”

Looking at some of Zhao Lang’s strange and bizarre requests, Shopkeeper Liu and the others sort of understood why Vantage said that Zhao Lang was quite ingenious.

“What? Can’t do it?”

Zhao Lang asked with a smile, in fact, there were still some things he hadn’t explained, he had just left a framework.

“Your Excellency is joking, I’m just worried that your Excellency won’t be able to use it well in the future.”

Shopkeeper Liu said that although these requests made by Zhao Lang were odd, they were not impossible to do.

It was just a matter of spending some time and money.

“That’s fine, you guys just follow what I have.”

Zhao Lang insisted to.

So the others said no more.

Time passed in a flash.

Over the next few days, Shopkeeper Willow and the others began to gather their men, and naturally someone followed through with them.

Kong A also returned to the manor a few days later, and brought good news.

He had made contact with his old friends outside and wanted to get a few more Confucian students to come to the stately home.

To study the new script and also to teach the children on Zhuangzi.

Zhao Lang naturally agreed to this kind of good deed with joy.

Teachers, how could he have too many.

Ji Wushuang had also finally heard back, and she was indeed helping the victims in the north.

And Zhao Lang’s heart was filled with joy as he watched the teenagers on the farm, slowly ripening along with the potatoes in the fields.

Soon, the servants at the farm found out that their son had been up to something new lately.

The cellars had been emptied.

The carpenters had been thrown out of the house and made into huts next to the site of the new estate.

There was not a single outsider left on the estate, so to speak.

When Zhao Long saw that the potato seedlings were gradually withering, he knew it was time to call his father over.

“Uncle Fu, send a letter to my father and ask him to come back recently, just to say that I want to return 100,000 taels of gold to him.”

Hearing these words, Uncle Fu froze violently and came over for a while before he said that

“My lord, what did you say?”

Zhao Lang smiled and said that

“Tell my father that I want to return 100,000 taels of gold to him.”

Uncle Fu said, incredulously.

“Where did you get the one hundred thousand taels of gold?”

He was the gatekeeper of the finances of the estate, and now the whole estate spent money like water, only out and not in.

The 40,000 taels of gold that had only been sent over was already almost half spent.

He was so shocked to see how much gold Zhao Lang had come up with, where did he get 100,000 taels of gold?

Zhao Long smiled and said that

“Uncle Fu, just say that, my father will naturally understand.”

Uncle Fu could only nod his head in agreement.

Soon, there was a fast horse heading towards Xianyang City.

It was late afternoon inside the palace.

Qin Shi Huang was looking serious as he attended to his affairs.

Zhao Gao is assisting in the

“Your Majesty, the Goguryeo to the north is a bit restless, should we ask General Meng to send someone to knock some sense into it.”

Qin Shi Huang said, coldly.

“Back then, Wei Man, a Yan, fled to Goguryeo with the remnants of the Yan state, and I remembered the love of Prince Dan of Yan.”

“I didn’t kill them all, but I didn’t expect that after a few years of rest and recuperation, he would dare to move against his will.”

“Tell, Meng Tian, if he dares to come one step closer to the border, kill without amnesty.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Zhao Gao responded.

“Hmph, if the treasury wasn’t stretched, I would have stepped on that bullet point!”

Qin Shi Huang snorted coldly and continued to pick up another booklet.

“Your Majesty, why don’t you take a break?”

Zhao Gao looked at Qin Shi Huang’s weary face and advised.

Qin Shi Huang, however, just flipped through the gradual while speaking indifferently.

“I will have more time to rest in the future, so why hurry in the moment. ”

Zhao Gao was speechless at once.

Just then, a chamberlain hurried in and reported to

“Your Majesty, an urgent report from the Black Ice Guard.”

“Present it!”

Zhao Gao hurriedly delivered the letter to Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang looked grave as he opened the letter; the Black Ice Guards would not use urgent reports without a major event.

After reading it for less than a moment, a smile appeared on his face, – saying that

“Nonsense.”

On the side, Zhao Gao saw Qin Shi Huang’s smile and knew who it was.

The one who could make Qin Shi Huang smile in the palace today was Win Yin Man, who was just grounded.

Outside the palace, there was only that one.

Zhao Gao said with a smile on his face that

“But what news has the Duke’s Wave had?”

Qin Shi Huang nodded his head and smiled, saying

“The wave said that he asked me to go back and said that he wanted to return 100,000 taels of gold to me.”

“One hundred thousand taels of gold!”

Even Zhao Gao couldn’t help but shout out, the

“Your Majesty, if we really have 100,000 taels of gold, we can indeed ease the urgency of the court!”

Qin Shi Huang shook his head and said that

“This one hundred thousand taels of gold that Lang’er is talking about should be the stirrups and horseshoes he has made.”

“These two items are indeed worth one hundred thousand taels of gold.”

“I know, he’s recently been building a new manor, so I guess he’s short of money.”

Qin Shi Huang said with a bitter smile, again

“However, this time I may have to disappoint Long’er with the money, I really don’t have it.”

“Just wait until the next time the treasury comes in, and then we will make it up to him.”

Hearing these words, Zhao Gao could not help but reveal a bitter smile, too.

“This… Gongzi Lang is also really, really…”

Qin Shi Huang said at this time that

“It’s good, I haven’t gone back for a long time, it’s just that, rest early today and go to the village tomorrow.”

“Remember to call Li Si.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Zhao Gao answered joyfully.

In his heart, he had already mulled over the compliments he had prepared last time, and now they would finally come in handy.

The next day, Qin Shi Huang took Zhao Gao and Li Si with him, and arrived at the stately home.

Seeing Zhao Lang, Qin Shi Huang began by saying.

“Long’er, where is your 100,000 taels of gold? Father’s hands have been a bit tight lately.”

He had to make a pre-emptive strike, or he would have to bleed out again today.

He was a bit scared.
