The Great Qin: Stop Pretending, Your Father, I Am Qin Shihuang

Chapter 118: This task seems a little easy.

Seeing the two lost their minds, Wei Yi smiled and said,

"Master Xie, according to the covenant between us, you must provide craftsmen for the Lord of our country."

"You are already a tyrant here, and I will ask you to do this."

Hearing this, Zhao Xie's expression changed slightly, and he looked away from Princess Yu Shu's face.

Wei Yi asked,

"Master, what else do you want? But it doesn't matter."

Zhao Xie squeezed out a smile and said,

"No, it's just that I've already sent nearly a hundred craftsmen? Why does the lord still need craftsmen?"

"Young Master Xie doesn't know anything."

Wei said for a while,

"In the land of Goguryeo, the natives are stupid and difficult to educate, and it is extremely difficult to train local craftsmen."

"Although Bao Qin hasn't acted recently, you and I both know that with the character of a tyrant, how could you let me wait?"

"So, the lord has been strengthening the city's defenses and building defenses, which requires a lot of craftsmen."

Zhao Xie also nodded in agreement.

"The tyrant is insatiable, and the land of Baiyue is still unwilling to let go, so how can it make Goguryeo depend on it?"

"I'm afraid they will attack Goguryeo after Zhao Tuo pacifies Baiyue."

Wei Yi said,

"exactly."

"Moreover, the craftsmen who are dispatched from this place can also make the construction of the Great Wall slower by Violent Qin. With the Huns and Hu people on the side, Violent Qin did not dare to force me to wait too much."

Although Zhao Xie was a little surprised that Wei Yi had such an opinion, he still nodded.

"In this way, I will speed up the gathering of the craftsmen here and give them to the lord."

Wei was overjoyed for a while,

"Great!"

Several people chatted and laughed, and after the banquet was over, Wei Yi took Princess Yu Shu away.

Zhao Xie glanced at Zhao Jie next to him, and said coldly,

"The man has left."

Zhao Jie came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Xie and said,

"Brother, give me this Princess Yushu!"

A chill flashed in Zhao Xie's eyes, and said,

"This is the marriage of the Zhao Yan family, do you think it's child's play!"

"If you don't know the severity this time, it's as bad as last time! I'll ask for family law!"

Speaking of what happened last time, Zhao Jie blushed and said,

"Brother, don't you already know? I was drugged last time!"

Zhao Xie said coldly,

"If I didn't know that you were drugged, would I still let you here?"

"In the future, if you look at your sister-in-law like this again, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhao Jie returned with a dissatisfied face,

"I know."

Zhao Xie frowned and said,

"The two Scar brothers were killed, and all the slaves were rescued by the female snitch. What should we tell each other?"

"Have you found out who it is?"

Zhao Jie pouted and said,

"I've been with you all the time, how would you know?"

Zhao Xie frowned and said,

"Did you offend someone again?"

Zhao Jie lowered his head and did not speak, but there was a bit of ruthlessness on his face.

Zhao Xie wanted to reprimand the other party, but at this time a guard walked in and reported,

"Master Xie, yesterday, my subordinates have already found other teams that captured slaves yesterday, and asked them clearly."

"Say it!"

"The person who came here calls himself Zhao Lang, Xianyang."

"Xianyang Zhao Lang?"

Zhao Xie was immediately stunned.

Of course he remembered Zhao Lang, the owner of the wealthy farm, who was accepted as an entry-level disciple by the head of Confucianism.

But why did he appear here?

"Has the other party's identity and location been found out? And what about the female snitch?"

Zhao Xie frowned and said,

"Zhao Lang's information has not been found. After the other party finished killing people, he left very simply."

The guard came back,

"The news of the female snitch has gotten some attention. It should be from a farmer. Recently, the story of the White Lotus Saint is spreading among the farmer."

"A farmhouse?"

Zhao Xie was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Jie, who was beside him, gritted his teeth and said,

"Isn't it just taking ten thousand taels of gold from them, I will kill that stinky **** sooner or later!"

"To shut up!"

Zhao Xie directly scolded,

"Do you want to have a deadly revenge with the farmer? Get out of here!"

Zhao Jie left angrily, Zhao Xie covered his forehead in anger, and then said to the guard,

"Let's find other slave traders to cooperate. This time we will find a few more. We need to catch more craftsmen."

"And find a way to communicate with the female snitch, just say I want to talk to the other party face to face, everything is easy to talk about."

The guard immediately took orders and left

After everyone left, Zhao Xie sighed wearily.

The entire Zhao family is now almost relying on him to support it, which is really difficult.

"Zhao Yan's marriage can't go wrong, and the transaction with the Hu people can't be stopped. I don't know what happened in the salt field."

Just then, a servant came to report,

"Sir, the officials of the salt field are asking to see you."

Zhao Xie was shocked and said,

"please come in!"

Soon, the clerk who handed over to Zhao Lang during the day appeared in front of Zhao Xie.

"Young master, a young businessman was sent here. I have already told him."

"If you can't hand over a thousand catties of coarse salt this month, the salt field will be handed over to others."

The clerk said with a smile.

"Then thank you very much. After this is done, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Zhao Xie laughed, a thousand catties of coarse salt was not much, but he naturally wouldn't let the other party produce it.

"Shoubo, take Shangguan to rest."

When the little official heard the title, he nodded with satisfaction, handed a document to Zhao Xie, and said,

"This is the businessman's document. Take a look and return it to me tomorrow."

Then he followed Shoubo outside the door and left.

Watching the little officials leave, Zhao Xie's eyes flashed a gloomy look. In the end, he must deal with all the corrupt officials who cooperated with him.

Opening the document and looking at the name on it, Zhao Xie was stunned.

"Zhao Lang?"

Today is the second time I hear this name.

Zhao Xie narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Whether you are him or not, in front of me, there is only one way to die!"

In fact, deep down, he even had some hope that the other party was that Zhao Lang.

"If you die, I might still have a chance with that old stubborn."

Having made up his mind, Zhao Xie shouted,

"Come on!"

A guard appeared at the door.

"Tomorrow early in the morning, I will tell the people at the seaside that if the salt field starts to make salt, let them do it!"

The guards lead the way.

Early the next morning.

In the salt field, there were busy figures of slaves, who were cleaning up the site and preparing to start work.

Zhao Lang was watching from a high place. He had decided to wait for the site to be cleared, and then use the method of division of labor and cooperation to start salt production.

This is efficient, and will not reveal its own method of salt production.

The task of a thousand catties of coarse salt will soon be completed.

When this is done, he can go back to Zhuangzi, bury his head in planting potatoes, gather his people, and accumulate strength for the future!

"This task seems a little easy."

Zhao Lang thought silently.

He didn't notice that the two salt field stewards had silently hid in the dilapidated house.

The slaves on the construction site also kept looking towards the seaside, as if someone would appear there at any time.
