Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 165 When I get the money, don't be cowardly

How do people think you are rich?

This is a thought-provoking philosophical question.

If in modern times, you can buy a super sports car, on the road, eat like a show car, drive like crazy, and then smoke a cigarette after the car is destroyed, let everyone know that you are not short of money.

In addition, you can also buy a piece of land in the most prosperous area, ask the most famous designer to build a building, and then transform it into a public toilet, so that everyone who goes to the toilet will be jealous of your money and use it in the toilet The liras don't stop!
But in ancient times, it was not that simple.

Just because you are rich, you can't be awesome, just like the Pinyang Li family, although they are richer than the Wang family, but in front of the Wang family, they will always be a scumbag.

Even with Li Si's back, it cannot be compared with the Wang family.

What does this mean?
This shows that in this era, money is not enough, the key is power.

Obviously, Ying Zheng, the most powerful Qin Emperor, is very happy now.

Because he not only has power, but also has money.

What should I do if I have money?

Of course, let people know that you are rich.

As the first emperor, he would naturally not show off his wealth like ordinary people. All he could do was use money to silence those officials who were looking for trouble.

Disaster relief?How much food, just say it!
fight?How much does it cost, report the number!
So, early this morning, the hall became extremely quiet.

Even Feng Quji and Li Si, who usually like to make things happen the most, kept their mouths shut.

Seeing that the ministers couldn't hold back anything for a long time, Ying Zheng was very happy.

It's been so many years, I don't know how many years I haven't experienced this feeling of being light-hearted with nothing to do.

Eh, don't tell me.

It feels pretty good.

Just when Yingzheng was full of complacency, a voice suddenly sounded outside the hall: "Report to Your Majesty, Langzhong ordered Meng Yi to see you!"

"Ok?"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, wondering why he came here?

Didn't I arrange for him to replace Feng Quji to deal with the envoys of the Dayue Clan?

Could it be that Da Yuezhi changed his mind?

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng was overjoyed, immediately straightened his body, and waved his hands: "Xuan——"

Soon, Meng Yi walked in with a sullen face.

All the ministers looked at him one after another, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

But Meng Yi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Da Yue Clan has escaped!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, all the ministers were in an uproar.

"Da Yueshi dares to be so presumptuous, this simply doesn't put me in the eyes of Da Qin!"

"The barbarian country really doesn't pay attention to etiquette. It seems that it is determined to be an enemy of my Great Qin!"

"Your Majesty! I request you to send troops to attack Da Yuezhi and raise my Great Qin's prestige!"

"The minister waits for reconsideration!"

As soon as Meng Yi's words fell, the entire hall was filled with excitement.

Ying Zheng was also furious at first, and wanted to send troops to attack Dayue Clan directly, but seeing that Meng Yi hesitated to speak, he raised his hand to stop the ministers, and said: "Meng Aiqing, if you have anything to say, finish it at once."

Although Ying Zheng's voice was very flat, it gave off an extreme majesty that made the entire hall silent.

Meng Yi heard the words, nodded, and continued: "After learning that the envoys of the Dayue Clan had escaped, I immediately sent people to chase them, but what I didn't expect was that when I was about to chase them, I was shocked to find that they were killed People robbed and killed near Pinyang North Mountain!"

"This……"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyelids twitched, and all the officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Is anyone alive?"

Ying Zheng asked with a frown.

Meng Yi shook his head slightly: "There are more than [-] people in the envoy group, and none of them survived!"

hiss……

As soon as these words came out, the officials gasped.

This news is not good news for Daqin.

Although all the ministers clamored to beat Da Yuezhi just now, everyone knew that it would be very difficult given Daqin's current situation.

After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng asked again in a deep voice, "Do you know who did it?"

"The biggest suspect now should be Donghu, but some weapons are not owned by Donghu people!"

"What weapon?"

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes: "Show it to me!"

"promise!"

Meng Yi promised, and then shouted outside the hall: "Bring in the physical evidence!"

As Meng Yi's voice fell, three palace attendants came in with trays.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng stood up immediately, then walked up to the palace attendant, looked at the tray, tilted his head and asked, "What is this?"

"It looks like a Misumi spear, but it's not like a Misumi spear!"

Meng Yi shook his head and said, "Anyway, it doesn't look like a weapon commonly used by Donghu people!"

"It's normal not to have weapons from Donghu people. If they want to blame Daqin, they will definitely not use their own weapons."

Li Si sighed for a long time, and immediately bowed his hands to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to block the news immediately!"

"How to block messages?"

"The method of Dongjun can be adopted!"

The so-called Dongjun method is the Dongjun meteorite incident. In order to block the news, people in a radius of hundreds of miles were massacred.

Although the killing of the Dayue Clan mission was different from the Dongjun Meteorite incident, it was equally important to block the news.

Because once the news is sent back to the Da Yuezhi, it will definitely provoke a war between the Da Yuezhi and Qin.

But Li Si seemed to have forgotten that even though he had killed people with a radius of hundreds of miles, the news still spread.

"Prime Minister Li's words are wrong!"

Feng Quji, who was well versed in the matter, immediately stepped forward to retort: ​​"If this is a trick set up by someone with a heart, even if you kill the people around you, won't it spread the word?"

Li Si frowned, turned his head to look at Feng Quji: "Then according to Feng Youxiang's intention, just let the situation develop like this?"

"Of course I won't let it go like this!"

Feng Quji snorted coldly: "But blindly encouraging His Majesty to kill will not solve the problem, what's more, His Majesty's reputation in the land of the Six Kingdoms is not good. Such behavior will only make the Confucian scholars of the Six Kingdoms criticize His Majesty for being brutal. heartless."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that Feng Youxiang was worthy of His Majesty's closest favorite, and dared to say such a thing.

But at the same time, he was also surprised that His Majesty in front of him would remain silent.

In fact, Ying Zheng didn't express his opinion because Li Si and Feng Quji's opinions were not wrong.

It's just that the positions of the two are different.

Li Si focused on national interests, while Feng Quji focused on people's livelihood issues.

Although Li Si suggested killing people, it was not a good way, but it was the easiest way.

After all, it is not easy for Qin to start a war with the Da Yue Clan.

Kill people to block the news, and then investigate with all their strength. When the Da Yueshi gets the news, the results of the investigation have already been obtained. In this way, it can avoid being provoked by those who want to.

But the current Yingzheng is no longer the original Yingzheng, because Zhao Kun has reminded him that the more he kills, the happier those remnants of the Six Kingdoms will be.

Since he can't be killed, he can only start an investigation immediately and strive to find out the truth as soon as possible.

Having made up his mind, Ying Zheng glanced at Feng Quji and Li Si, waved his hands and said, "Okay, my loves, I will send Dunwei to investigate this matter, and you don't need to argue any more."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Li Si who was about to speak, and turned his head to look at Meng Yi: "Take this thing, find Dunwei, and assist him in the investigation!"

"promise!"

Meng Yi arched his hands, and immediately led the palace servants out of the hall.

After Meng Yi left, Ying Zheng turned to look at Feng Quji again: "Feng Aiqing, is there still money and food in the treasury?"

Seeing that Ying Zheng did not order the killing, Feng Quji breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, there are still 340 million yuan in the treasury, and [-] shi of grain."

"Why so few?"

"This"

Feng Quji said hesitantly; "Recently, there are a lot of places where money is used for food."

"Hmph! I let you use it in key places, is this how you use it?"

Feng Quji was in a state of distress, and he thought that His Majesty would throw the blame away if he really wanted to. He was obviously the one who spent money and food lavishly, yet he still blamed himself.

"This minister is guilty!"

Ying Zheng: "Since you are convicted, you are limited to seven days to collect the money and food needed for a war of 10 people!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Feng Quji was dumbfounded.

A war of 10 people, money and food?
Could it be that His Majesty is preparing for a war with the Da Yuezhi?
But within seven days, how to collect so much money and food?
Thinking of this, Feng Quji hastily bowed his hands to Yingzheng: "Your Majesty, minister"

He wanted to say that the minister couldn't do it, but Ying Zheng didn't let him speak, and interrupted in a cold voice; "Yao Jia investigated and dealt with many remnants of the Six Kingdoms, you can help him deal with this matter!"

have to!It's time to sell an official again!
When Feng Quji heard Ying Zheng's words, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He knew that His Majesty was already addicted, and if he tried to persuade him again, he might lose his temper, so he cupped his hands helplessly: "Your Majesty obeys the order!"

"Okay, let's go down!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, motioning the ministers to retreat.

After everyone left, he found his attendants, changed his clothes, and prepared to leave the palace.

Although selling officials can make quick money, officials cannot be sold casually, so in order to find other ways to make money, he resolutely chose to go to Zhao Kun.

Although Zhao Kun could make him vomit blood every time, he was in pain but also happy.

Who let this son come to trouble!

Sitting on the carriage leaving the palace, Ying Zheng took a deep breath, then snorted coldly, and murmured: "Mere envoys of the Da Yue Clan, what a fart!
Don't say I didn't kill it, so what if I killed it?

When I get the money, don't be cowardly! "

　Thank you Fengyu Wufei for the 200 rewards.
