Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 68 I was not virtuous in the past, but I will be virtuous in the future!

Thirteen bloody horses were photographed, and the emotions of the guests in the audience were completely aroused.

Especially when the last horse, Tuxue Wuzui, was sold for three thousand taels of gold, even Ying Zheng and the officials were secretly speechless.

There is great wealth among the people!

As for the Lord Guanzhong and the merchants, they had looked at cotton and woolen cloth before, and they all still had the idea that they could make money outside the Great Wall, and they would be satisfied.

But when the transaction prices of the thirteen bloody horses were laid out in front of them one by one, the huge benefits immediately shattered their previous thoughts of becoming rich.

And this is exactly the effect Qin Mo wants. This time he must arouse the pioneering spirit of the merchants in Kyushu!

…

At the same time, shouts and cheers suddenly sounded outside the school and faintly spread into the school.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, thinking that people gathered outside the academy and caused some trouble, but after listening carefully for a moment, his brows relaxed again.

Turning around, he said to Qin Mo who was accompanying him: "My dear, the 'Conquest of Hu Nuo Opera' mentioned in the invitation was performed outside the academy?"

The so-called conquest of Hu means that he personally conquered the Huns in the previous campaign.

Qin Mo clasped his hands: "Exactly."

Ying Zheng was not very interested in BMW treasures, but he was very curious about the Hu Nuo opera outside: "Why not perform it in this academy?"

Qin Mo explained: "I ordered the Zheng Hu Opera to be rehearsed by Chang Taiyue, in order to promote the great Qin's protection of all Chinese people and let the people of the six countries recognize the merits of the great Qin."

"In Xianyang City, there are probably tens of thousands of scholars and merchants from the six countries. Most of them gathered outside the academy today."

"And those who get the invitation and enter the academy are only a few..."

"Therefore, while the excitement outside the academy has not dissipated, let's perform it outside first. When they return to their hometown in the future, it will be the best publicity."

"As for the academy, it won't be too late for the auction to end before the show starts. Please be patient, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng suddenly nodded and praised: "My dear, you are thoughtful and considerate, as you should be!"

…

The monarch and his ministers were whispering in the audience.

On the auction stage, Yingbu had already moved out several boxes of beautiful jade and brilliant gemstones, taking advantage of the frenetic atmosphere to continue the auction.

After the jade and precious stones were auctioned, there were barrels of foreign wine.

After the fine wine is auctioned, there are also gorgeous snow-capped mountain mink and fox furs and soft cashmere textiles.

Finally, there are all kinds of spices that are worth gold, including meat spices that can be used for cooking food, and spices that are used to smoke when going out to show off.

The spices are made into bottles of various perfumes.

There are not only dipterocarps, but also tulips, black agarwood, agarwood, and compound perfumes made by mixing them.

Every fragrance can make visitors intoxicated.

At this point, the princesses who followed Ying Zheng to see the excitement could no longer sit still and joined in the bidding one after another.

Including the young masters, they also bid frequently, firstly to use it for themselves, and secondly because they wanted to return to the palace to honor their mothers.

The perfume was so popular that at the end of the filming Yingbu was also obsessed with it and even stepped down from the stage to quietly ask Qin Mo.

Should we take the opportunity to auction the many perfumes made from the local spices of Daqin, as well as the essences extracted from various flowers, melons and fruits?

But Qin Mo refused flatly. This auction was only for advertising foreign goods, making money was the second priority.

It would be putting the cart before the horse if those dazzling array of local perfumes steal the spotlight from foreign products!

Yingbu immediately acted as if he had suddenly realized something, said a rainbow fart saying that the king was far-sighted, and hurried to arrange the Zheng Hu Nuo opera performance.

However, the conversation between the two was clearly heard by the princes and princesses on the side, and they were all moved.

After exchanging glances with each other, they all turned their attention to Yuan Man, with an obvious intention to ask her to help him go to Qin Mo to get the 'dazzling array' of perfume.

Even Fusu showed hope.

When he, a poor prince, participated in the bidding just now, not only did he not compete with his younger brothers and sisters, he also did not compete with those "poor scholars from the six countries".

He had promised his mother that he would bring back perfume to honor his mother!

Yuan Man was bathed in the fiery eyes of his brothers and sisters, not to mention the awkwardness in his heart.

Because under Ying Zheng's deliberate urging, she was sitting on the other side of Qin Mo!

"Later, I will ask Yu Ji to send a few boxes of perfume to the palace, and the eldest princess will divide them among herself." Qin Mo tilted his head slightly and whispered.

Yuan Man was slightly stunned, but soon became happy.

Qin Mo obviously noticed her embarrassment and took the initiative to help her out.

However, when her joy subsided, she couldn't help but frown secretly again, and glanced at Yu Ji who was sitting with her in the distance from the corner of her eye.

Why was she asked to send perfume to the palace?

Instead of delivering it in person?

Yuan Man is past the age of fantasy, especially when she was born into the royal family, which makes her mentally mature much more precociously.

Qin Mo's unintentional move inevitably made her think more!

And just as Yuan Man's thoughts were racing, the show of Zheng Hu Nuo on the auction stage finally kicked off.

Yuan Man's attention was also drawn to the stage.

The Nuo opera of this era was actually about wizards dancing to the gods, mostly used to worship gods. The people of Qin believed in this system, and Ying Zheng was keen on seeking immortality and medicine, which probably originated from this.

However, the Zhenghu opera performed by Qin Mo and Feng Chang Taile was not so fancy, and the actors were not wizards, but actors, and it was a serious drama performance.

Actors trained by Tai Le often perform music and dance for Ying Zheng, so they are not as frightened as Ying Bu when he first came on stage and did not dare to speak out, so they can be regarded as doing well.

The first scene at the opening is a monologue by the actor who plays Ying Zheng, expressing his ambition to unify China so that all people will no longer suffer the ravages of troubled times and can live and work in peace and contentment.

People could only feel admiration after hearing this monologue.

I admire Ying Zhengshi as an example of a king who always thinks of the people, which is rare in ancient and modern times.

But when Ying Zheng heard this, he was so ashamed.

He fought for six generations to unify the nine states of China. He thought about the legacy of his ancestors and his achievements in the future.

As for what happened to the people, I might have thought about it, but I really didn’t care about it.

That is to say, in recent years, he reused Qin Mo and was influenced by Qin Mo. In addition, he was deeply touched by his previous personal expedition to the Xiongnu, so he paid more and more attention to the people!

"My dear, is this... too much?"

Ying Zheng had a strange expression, turned sideways and whispered to Qin Mo: "You know, too much is too little, I am not so virtuous."

Qin Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty represents the entire Qin Dynasty, and it cannot be beautified too much."

"Besides, your Majesty was not virtuous in the past, but he was unable to be virtuous. Otherwise, the nine states of China would still be at war!"

There is some truth in this statement. If he was virtuous and kind and could not bear to servile the people, there would be many people who would be kings and hegemons in this land of China.

Where did the concept of unification of China come from in later generations?!

"My beloved will always comfort me. Now that Zheng Hu Xi is about to be performed, I was not virtuous in the past, but I will be virtuous in the future."

Ying Zheng said happily.

How could he not see that Qin Mo was trying to influence him by changing his ways?
