It has been more than half a year since I arrived in Xianyang City.
Su Fan also opened a restaurant in the outer city of Xianyang, and the storyteller also joined the restaurant. The restaurant's business became more and more prosperous day by day.
Of course, trouble started to come.
After all, business is booming, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Su Fan's wealth is constantly accumulating.
Moreover, Su Fan had no backing, so people soon started to take advantage of him.
At first, Su Fan didn't care about some low-level officials, but then came some nobles with high power.
The real big nobles may look down on Su Fan's business, but those newly promoted nobles.
The Qin Dynasty started with a military merit system. When the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms, countless soldiers died on the battlefield, and naturally many meritorious families were born.
The 20th level of military merit in the Great Qin Dynasty was divided into three levels: scholar, official and minister.
The titles of scholar and doctor are nothing in Xianyang City. Even if the military merit title reaches the level of Duke and Doctor, it will not be ranked high in Xianyang City.
But once this point is passed, it will be different. The title has exceeded that of a doctor and has reached the position of a minister. Even if he reaches Xianyang City, he is qualified to hold the title.
And this time, the person who coveted Su Fan's restaurant was the subordinate of Zuo Shuchang, a doctor with a low and powerful position.
After all, he belonged to General Zuo Zhonglang and was a retinue of the First Emperor.
Su Fan was not afraid of them, but after being angered, it was very troublesome. He was really helpless in this world now.
I was born an orphan, and the only teacher I relied on died.
Although he is a Qigong Master from the East China Sea, if you put this thing in history, it might still attract the attention of the First Emperor.
In this world, there are countless sorcerers around the First Emperor.
In addition, although warlocks were valued by the First Emperor, many warlocks were later killed by Ying Zheng.
History says that Ying Zheng burned books to trap Confucians and killed tens of thousands of Confucian scholars. In fact, those were just sorcerers.
Speaking of Ying Zheng as a tyrant, he actually killed very few ministers.
"Boss Su, don't you know how to show appreciation?"
On the third floor of the restaurant, a young man looked at Su Fan arrogantly and said with a threatening look on his face.
"I don't know how to praise!"
Su Fan's expression was incomprehensible. He didn't expect that the other party's appetite was so big.
As for the restaurant business, he really doesn't like it. Even if it's tens of millions of dollars a year, so what, it's of no use to him at all.
Most of the resources for cultivation in this world are in the hands of the empire. If you want to buy them with money, I'm afraid it won't be possible with just a little money.
He didn't care, but these people were really too greedy. Not only did they want to get his restaurant, they also wanted to make him their guest, and act as their white glove from now on.
Really who do you think you are?
Who is Su Fan? He is an emperor who has experienced several worlds. He is so arrogant that only the First Emperor can convince him, and how many others he can look at.
So what can those princes and nobles do? After more than a hundred years, they are still just a cup of loess.
And he is destined to live forever.
"Your uncle wanted to take me as a disciple, so he sent you here. He just doesn't know what to say."
Su Fan's face was full of disdain. After several inquiries, he already knew who that person was. The doctor, Li Wei, was Korean.
After being captured by the Qin army, he joined the Qin army and gradually made meritorious service in the army, especially when he destroyed Wei and Chu, he also made considerable contributions.
In the final battle to destroy Chu, because he killed a general of the Xiang family of Chu, his military merit was promoted to Zuo Shuchang.
Later he was promoted to Xianyang City and became a doctor among the generals Zuo Zhonglang.
He served as a marquis in the army, and also became a county lieutenant locally. He was just forty years old, and now he is a doctor. In the eyes of many people, he has reached the top of his career.
But what does this have to do with Su Fan.
"you"
When Su Fan said this, the young man instantly became angry.
"If you want to do it, you can give it a try"
Su Fan sneered, the young man's strength was nothing at all, he was almost at the level of Waigang. If he really made a move, he could kill him with one palm.
Of course, the consequences will be serious. After all, if you do something in the city and ignore the laws of the empire, if you are caught, you will be jailed in the dungeon.
Su Fan didn't care about the threat from their uncle and nephew. At most, they could make it impossible for their restaurant to open.
Originally, he was prepared to hand over part of his profits.
It turned out that the other party was extremely greedy and still wanted him, which was simply ridiculous.
"If there's nothing wrong, I'll forgive Su for not giving it away."
Su Fan was not ready to talk nonsense with this person.
"You, you, you are fine"
When the young man saw that Su Fan was fearless, he became furious. However, he did not dare to take action in this city. If he did take action, once he was caught by the patrolling imperial army, even his uncle, the doctor, would not be able to save him.
The laws of the Qin Dynasty were very serious, and it was impossible to punish the officials.
Unless the emperor of Great Qin has spoken, no one can violate it.
boom!
He stared at Su Fan fiercely for a few times, then suddenly walked out the door.
Su Fan couldn't help but sneer when he saw this.
"Master, if this continues, we"
Su Pei saw the young man leaving with his entourage, and immediately whispered.
"It doesn't matter, in the worst case we will close the door"
Su Fan said indifferently.
He only opened the restaurant to provide a place for storytellers to expand his influence.
These days, he has vaguely felt that he has gained a bit of luck after the spread of this novel.
Books have spread, and many people are copying them. The only thing that limits the spread is paper.
In this era, the bamboo slips were still used. Of course, Su Fan didn't know what those monks used.
But if the novel is to be disseminated, it is best to have paper, so as to facilitate dissemination.
Otherwise, if you just rely on bamboo slips and a novel, I am afraid it will take a carriage, or even more, to be enough.
So Su Fan wanted to create paper.
He also wanted to use this piece of paper to improve his status.
Su Fan believed that Ying Zheng could definitely see the benefits of paper. Paper was light and easy to carry, which greatly improved the delivery of documents.
Of course, Da Qin's overall strength cannot be improved, but with paper, he can also be promoted to military merit, and when the time comes, he can slowly come up with what he has prepared.
He believed that as long as he worked hard to increase the power of Great Qin, Ying Zheng would definitely put him to good use. When the time comes, it would definitely be the best way for him to use Great Qin's resources to improve his cultivation.
At the same time, it can also absorb some of Da Qin's spilled luck to repair the Universal Mirror.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
"But now, how to obtain this promotion?"
This is the most troublesome, he must find a nobleman.
