Through Time Chapter 107

It was getting late and the sun was setting like a salted duck egg yolk, hanging in the sky.

Smoke from the cooking began to rise from the farm and the teenagers trained for their usual meal.

The servants also went about their duties.

Standing on the steps, Qin Shi Huang looked at the vibrancy of the stately home and spoke to a few people to the side of him, saying

“You say, how good it would be if everyone in my Great Qin could be like the people on this manor and not worry about food and clothing?”

Li Si smiled and said.

“Your Majesty, how much effort did Duke Long put into this Zhuang to maintain it in such a way.”

“However, with this potato, it is possible that after ten or so years, there will be no more starving people in the Great Qin.”

Qin Shi Huang sighed silently, ten or so years.

Qin Shi Huang stopped talking until he watched the sun set and night fall.

Only then did he lead the men back into the room.

Sitting in a chair, he looked at the potatoes piled up in the room and froze.

“Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will retire.”

Li Si saluted at this point to.

Qin Shi Huang returned to his senses and said that

“I want Long’s son to go to the north for some experience.”

Hearing these words, several people froze almost simultaneously, and Li Si spoke directly to

“Your Majesty, you mustn’t!”

Qin Shi Huang looked at Li Si at once, and

“As I recall, you are not close to Lang’er, why are you so excited?”

Li Si straightened his clothes, which was the doings of advising, and then in a deep voice to

“Your Majesty, I have no personal relationship with Gongzi Lang.”

“But in these few short months, what the Duke has offered has been extremely helpful to my Great Qin!”

“Nowadays, the northern lands are not peaceful, and Goguryeo is also stupid to move.”

“How can such a great talent risk his life in the North?”

Qin Shi Huang listened and did not dismiss the question, but asked Zhao Gao.

“Commander in Chief, do you think so too?”

Zhao Gao pondered for a moment before saying that

“Your Majesty, I think that what the Prime Minister says is reasonable.”

“Gongzi Lang is a quick thinker, and his skill in the art of organ skills is even more untutored and at the top of his game.”

“In the future, he will surely be able to create even more sophisticated machine techniques, and it is indeed risky for such a talented man to go to the North.”

“Your Majesty, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.”

Qin Shi Huang nodded, seemingly in agreement, and then looked to Wang Jian, the

“Wu Cheng Hou, what do you think.”

Wang Jian had just been thinking about it for a long time, and by now his mind was made up and he said that

“Your Majesty, I am only a martial artist, but I know the truth that jade cannot be cut into pieces.”

Li Si frowned at once and was about to retort when he heard Qin Shi Huang say.

“Prime Minister, what position can Long’s son hold now with his talents?”

Li Si was stunned, hesitated, and said.

“The Great Qin Craftsman Supervisor would be the first choice.”

Qin Shi Huang nodded and looked at Zhao Gao, again

“What do you think.”

Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and returned.

“This… I only look at the state of the Zhuang, and I think that it should not be a problem for Duke Long to govern a place.”

Wang Jian did not wait for Qin Shi Huang to ask before he returned that

“If he is in the old minister’s army, Duke Long can lead fifty men.”

Qin Shi Huang could not help but sneer at this point, saying

“So, in the eyes of you, my son, Long, is just a craftsman, a magistrate and a cantonal commander?”

Li Si advanced to the

“Your Majesty, how can the ways of a ruler be compared in such a way…”

Qin Shi Huang said indifferently that

“The Prime Minister wants to teach me the way of being a ruler?”

Li Si was shaken and knelt straight down, saying.

“I dare not!”

Qin Shi Huang pondered for a while and said that

“It’s just that tomorrow I will ask Lang’er myself and see what he decides.”

“All of you retire.”

Several people bowed and excused themselves.

Sitting alone in the room, Qin Shi Huang picked up a potato.

His mind was also extremely torn.

He saw Zhao Lang’s ability in his eyes, and it was a lie to say that he was not worried about Zhao Lang’s safety.

But in the Great Qin, which of the military officials, such as Meng Tian, Meng Yi and Wang Ben, were not fierce?

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for them to fight for the Qin Empire for ten thousand miles.

The civil servants, such as Zhao Gao and Li Si, were all deep-witted.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Zhao Lang was naturally resourceful.

But in the eyes of Qin Shi Huang, he was still a bit young.

If he had a decade or so left, he could naturally be nurtured slowly.

But now…

Of course, it all depends on Zhao Lang’s own choice.

If he did not have the determination and guts, then everything would just be a passing cloud.

“Long’er, this rebellion is what you want to create, don’t let father down.”

Qin Shi Huang murmured to himself as he held the potato.

At this moment, inside Wang Jian’s room.

He was holding an oddly shaped lance, gently polishing it as if it were his best companion.

“The token of the head of the military family, following the old man all these years, but it has not seen blood for a long time.”

“Whether you can come out this time, it depends on how Long’er chooses.”

Inside Zhao Gao’s room.

Zhao Gao was muttering to himself with a few long breaths, to

“Gongzi Lang, the old slave has done his best.”

“Your Majesty too, the north is not at peace now, what if something happens to it.”

“Don’t promise to go to the north tomorrow, stay in Xianyang and wait for His Majesty… Well… Only then will you have a chance!”

Inside Li Si’s room.

The large room was a little dark with only one lamp lit.

“After today, His Majesty should not suspect me anymore.”

“To achieve great things, it is only natural to go to the north, and even the south will eventually need a trip.”

“Well, O Ling’er, Ling’er, my father is counting on you.”

The night at the manor was quiet, but unfortunately people all had their own thoughts.

Early the next morning.

Zhao Lang woke up refreshed, with Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu waiting on him.

Yesterday, he had earned five manor houses for nothing, so he was naturally in an extremely good mood.

His father must still have a family fortune, not to mention this private salt business, which is the big one.

He must work harder!

Go to the canteen and get a bowl of chicken soup and an egg.

Zhao Long was ready to go and offer it.

Only when he knocked on the door and went in, he found that all of his cheap old dad’s squad were there.

“Good morning, uncles and teachers.”

Zhao Lang greeted in a good manner, then put the chicken soup and eggs in front of Qin Shi Huang and said, smilingly

“Father, drink it while it’s hot.”

Qin Shi Huang took it in his hand and was about to drink it, but then unconsciously remembered what happened last time.

Silently putting the chicken soup down first, Qin Shi Huang asked that

“Long’er, father has something to ask you.”

“There are some problems with the salt farm business in the north of our home, and I want you to take a look at it.”

“It’s just that the north side is a bit unsettled nowadays and may be a bit dangerous, but I want you to know about it.”

“What do you think?”

When Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhao Lang.

Zhao Lang, however, his eyes lit up, he was just thinking about how to intervene in his family’s business, and here was the opportunity?

But what did his father mean when he said that there was danger in the north?

Just then, two options appeared before Zhao Lang’s eyes.

“One: Choose to go and be rewarded with the salt purification method.”

“Two: Choose not to go, and reward several Mozi children.”
