My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 358 This must be the king threatening Lord Changan to compromise!

The expressions of Ying Xi and others changed, and their eyes looking at Ying Zheng became a little darker.

Even with the deep friendship between Ying Chengxuan and Ying Zheng, will the craftsmanship developed by Ying Chengxuan be taken away by the imperial court?

Sure enough, studying craftsmanship will lead to a dead end!

Li Si and others looked at Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng several times, with a bit more exploration and speculation in their eyes.

The ministers had different thoughts.

Ying Chengyu looked wary: "How much money does the military academy need every year?"

"If the military academy expands in the future, how much money will it need?"

"But this hemp paper, even Brother Wang, admits that as long as it is run properly, it can make tens of millions of dollars a year!"

"Brother Wang, are you going to share the pressure with me?"

"Brother Wang obviously wants to take away my brother's gold mountain!"

Ying Chengyu took a step back and distanced himself from Ying Zheng: "Don't mention this matter again."

"I spent a lot of time to develop hemp paper. How can I hand it over to the court just because of Brother Wang's words?"

"Rather than letting the court earn this money, it would be better for my brother to earn it!"

The corners of the mouths of Ying Xi and others twitched slightly, and their gazes looking at Ying Chengyu were full of shock.

You are worthy of being called the Lord of Chang'an.

You really dare to say that!

What is surprising is that Yao Jia actually took a step forward and solemnly held his hands in his hands: "I beg your Majesty to think again!"

"Returning hemp paper to the imperial court will indeed benefit our country, Great Qin, a lot."

"Of course, the appearance of this hemp paper is the biggest gain for me, Great Qin!"

"More available talents and the gratitude of the people all over the world are the greatest benefits to Great Qin!"

"When Chang'an Lord makes and sells hemp paper, he will pay a lot of taxes to the court, and the court will also benefit from this."

"Why should your Majesty be so restrained? It has chilled Lord Chang'an's heart for nothing!"

Yao Jia and Ying Chengyu were not familiar with each other.

But Yao Jia really didn't want Ying Chengyu to be wronged after bringing huge benefits to the people!

Li Si also came out and solemnly raised his hands: "I second the proposal!"

"We, Da Qin, must reward those who have merit and punish those who have made mistakes."

"This is the fairness of our Great Qin!"

"Chang'an Lord's research and development of hemp paper is a great achievement for us in Great Qin. How can we not only refuse to reward him, but instead seize his wealth?"

"Your Majesty's move will not only chill the heart of Lord Chang'an, but also chill the hearts of the people of Qin in serving their country!"

As the party being criticized, Ying Zheng glanced at Yao Jia and others, remembering the outspoken minister in his mind.

The king's younger brother, who is not afraid of the power of the weak, speaks out for justice.

All the ministers are direct ministers!

Ying Zheng laughed loudly and said: "You love me, you are mistaken for me!"

"As Li Aiqing said, our great Qin will reward those who have made merit and punish those who have made mistakes."

"Chang'an Lord has made great contributions to our great Qin Dynasty, how can I refuse to reward him and instead punish him?"

"Chang'anjun spent tens of millions of dollars studying this thing."

"I will give Lord Chang'an 20 million yuan to purchase this technique!"

Ying Zheng explained seriously: "It's not just me who is coveting the benefits of this paper art."

"Only the imperial court can control the secret of hemp paper and prevent it from falling into the hands of thieves."

"Only the imperial court can ensure that there are always young people working in the hemp paper workshop."

"Chang'an Lord is the pillar of my great Qin Dynasty, how can I be entangled in such common affairs as hemp paper?"

"The Lord of Chang'an will hand over the hemp paper to the court, and the remaining chores will be taken care of by the court, so that the Lord of Chang'an will be free!"

Yao Jia couldn't help but fall into thinking.

Ying Zheng’s words are very practical.

Building workshops, retting ponds and other matters are no small burden for Ying Chengyu.

But for the imperial court, these were all trivial matters.

What was the most commonly used retting pond during the Warring States Period?

moat!

There is no need to waste any time, as long as the moat of the rear city is slightly modified, it will become a huge pond!

What's more important is that if Ying Chengyu creates hemp paper by himself, those hemp paper craftsmen may be drafted to the battlefield at any time, and it is completely unknown whether they can return home alive.

Only by handing over the papermaking workshops to the court could the court have the motivation to avoid the unreasonable deaths of these professional craftsmen as much as possible.

Keeping secrets is an almost unsolvable problem for Ying Chengyu.

For the imperial court, it was a small problem that could be solved by a single law.

After comprehensive consideration, Yao Jia handed over his hand in shame: "I am being reckless."

"My lord, please forgive me!"

Ying Zheng smiled warmly and said, "I love you just to speak out for justice."

"What's the crime of loving you?"

Immediately, Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengyu: "What do you think, brother Wang?"

As early as when they heard the word 'twenty million dollars', the eyes of Ying Xi and others turned red again.

Hearing Ying Zheng's question again, Ying Xi and others all looked at Ying Chengyu.

In their view, there was no reason for Ying Chengyu not to agree.

It only takes a few months of research and an investment of nearly tens of millions of dollars, but it can be exchanged for a surplus of tens of millions of dollars and a good reputation spread all over the world.

Why not do it!

However, Ying Chengyu flatly refused: "Not enough!"

"It costs tens of millions to make hemp paper, but that doesn't mean you can make hemp paper just by spending tens of millions of dollars."

"It's because of my brother's ability that hemp paper was developed at a cost of only tens of millions of dollars!"

"I, Da Qin, will reward meritorious deeds, and I will reward you for your merits, not for your hard work!"

"If Brother Wang wants to reward my younger brother, he should reward me based on the income that this hemp paper can create, not the money that my younger brother invested!"

"Otherwise, it's unfair!" Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "What Brother Wang said is true."

"Of course, the treasury is empty!"

"Twenty million dollars is the limit that Da Qin can spend. Even these two million dollars need to be filled with some food and cloth."

"Da Qin is really unable to spend more money to reward the king's brother."

"Brother Wang is already a feudal lord of the Qin Dynasty. Even if my brother wants to be crowned, he can't be crowned!"

Many courtiers looked solemn.

Da Qin had no wealth and could only be granted nobility.

But Chang'an Lord has no title and no reward!

Is this a threat?

This must be the king threatening Lord Changan to compromise!

Sure enough, in the face of interests, even the closest brothers will turn against each other!

However, Ying Chengyu didn't feel that Ying Zheng was threatening him at all. After thinking for a moment, he came up with a solution: "Brother Wang already knows the benefits of hemp paper."

"When hemp paper goes on sale, the national treasury will not be as empty as it is today."

"What if I don't co-operate with the imperial court to set up an official residence?"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "The official position is such an important place that even my younger brother cannot set foot on it at will."

"If my brother and the imperial court jointly set up a Guanfang, then is the Guanfang still an Guanfang?"

Ying Chengqiao smiled and said: "What I mean by co-operation is that I don't have people, places or materials."

"The imperial court is responsible for all production. I will not step into the official business. I will only provide technology."

"The surplus from the sale of hemp paper will be divided between my brother and the court!"

Ying Zheng was quite dissatisfied: "The imperial court has paid so much, but only received 70% of the profit?"

Ying Chengyu's eyes widened: "Qi Cheng belongs to my younger brother!"

“Manpower and material resources seem important, but technology is the most important!”

"Without technology, no matter how much raw materials and manpower the court has, how can it be turned into hemp paper?"

Ying Zheng's eyes also widened: "Shuzi, how dare you covet the treasury!"

"Brother Wang is studying hard, but all subsequent construction is the responsibility of the imperial court."

"If the court works so hard but can only get 30% of the profit, you might as well build it yourself!"

Ying Cheng smiled and said, "That's 50-50."

Ying Zheng shook his head again: "With the power of the imperial court, whether it is manufacturing or selling, there will be great profits."

"The profit earned is much greater than what Wang brother built on his own!"

"Not only does Wang brother not have to worry about making it, but he also doesn't have to worry about his craftsmanship being leaked."

"Brother, you are still greedy for that five percent profit?"

"If I give you a 10% profit, it will be more profitable than what my brother Wang can create on his own!"

Ying Chengyu looked at Ying Zheng speechlessly: "Yichengli?"

"Brother Wang can also say this?!"

"Isn't this the way to reward a hero like Brother Wang!"

Ying Zheng smiled: "Of course I intend to reward you with a title, but my brother is already a king."

"The merits of developing hemp paper are not enough to make me give you another piece of food."

"So it's not that I'm stingy, it's that the king's brother has no title!"

Ying Chengyu said without hesitation: "I am already a lord, but the craftsmen who help me study hemp paper are not yet lords."

"Master Cao! Master Qi!"

Hearing Ying Chengyu's call, Cao Mao and Qi Ai moved over.

"Meet the king!"

Cao Mao was relatively calm. After all, he felt that he was a stinky worker.

Qi Ai was already trembling, and his hands and feet were like the same when walking.

When Ying Chengyu summoned them to study craftsmanship, he promised to help them win the title of nobility.

But Qi Ai never expected that Ying Chengyu would "fight for" like this!

Qi Ai looked at Ying Chengyu with pleading, Your Majesty, you have a close personal relationship with the king. You can fight for it at will, but we can't!

Let us go!

Didn’t you see that the king is already in a red temperature state?

What if the king can't help it and kills us with his sword?

However, Ying Chengyu completely ignored Qi Ai's plea. He held Qi Ai and Cao Mao with both hands and said seriously: "I came up with the idea of ​​making hemp paper."

"But it was these two people who implemented the actual operation."

"With these two people's merits, it's not an exaggeration to get a title!"

Under the various gazes of the ministers, the king of Da Qin and the prince of Da Qin were like two small businessmen, haggling with each other word by word.

Ying Chengxuan clearly explained the advantages of self-construction.

Ying Zheng also made it clear that the advantages created by handing over technology to the imperial court were clear.

The intensive and detailed introduction between the two seemed not to be addressed to each other at all, but to the ministers!

After a long while, Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu finally reached an agreement.

"Order!" Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Chang'an, offers you the art of making hemp paper, which will greatly benefit the world!"

"Give Chang'an Lord one million dollars of money, ten thousand stones of grain, and ten catties of gold."

"Invite the great craftsman Cao Mao and the great craftsman Qi Aijue to the hairpin hairpin to reward their service!"

"The order will be to set up the West Garden under the Shaofu, and establish the title of the Master of the West Garden to take charge of the research and production of hemp paper."

"From next year until thirty years later, 30% of the surplus from the construction of hemp paper in Xiyuan will belong to Lord Chang'an."

"From thirty years to the next fifty years, 20% of the surplus from the construction of hemp paper in Xiyuan belongs to Chang'an Jun."

"From the 50th to the next 70th year, 10% of the surplus from the construction of hemp paper in Xiyuan belongs to Chang'an Jun."

"Seventy years later, I will no longer share my fortune with Lord Chang'an!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Zheng glared at Ying Chengyu: "Are you satisfied with your stupidity?"
