Chapter 152 Li Si, This Is Impossible
It is in nature for a businessman to seek profit.

Zu Long originally thought that although the book sales were not profitable, he gave them status and glory that they could not have obtained originally.

Coupled with the emperor's personal instructions, there will be no accidents, right?
Facts have proved that Qin Mu has seen through them long ago.

When he was about to find a businessman, Qin Mu once suggested that the government should sell books.

It's just that Zulong didn't take his suggestion.

Of course, now it seems that this matter is not only a matter of hurting people, but also a situation where noble ministers are obstructing it.

However, if it is done by the government, they will definitely have to restrain themselves a lot.

But now, self-pity has no effect.

The most urgent task at the moment is to spread out the books in time, so that poor scholars have books to read.

In this way, first keep the confidence of the people in the world in the imperial examination.

The second is to find the nobles behind the scenes and punish them heavily to show their determination!

The imperial examination has been entangled for a long time.

Zulong has lost his patience.

Next, it's time to show off the thunderous tricks and make the nobles shudder!
"Fei Qing, you go back first, assuming you haven't found anything unusual. I'll handle this matter!"

Zulong's deep voice spread throughout the hall, and the temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop by three degrees.

Feier finally bowed and withdrew.

Zulong sat on the high dragon chair, thinking to himself.

Do you want to go to Qin Mu?
In the current situation, looking for Qin Mu is definitely the best choice.

But... with a businessman, it was he who didn't accept Qin Mu's opinion.

Going back now... Where is his Zulong's face going?

"Left and right, order Prime Minister Li Si and Wu Chenghou Wang Jian to enter the palace!"

After the people left, Zu Long said to himself: "At least I have to struggle..."

Not long after, Wang Jian and Li Si hurried to the palace.

Zu Long was silent and did not speak, Wang Jian and Li Si also realized something, and did not speak for a long time.

After a long time, Zu Long opened his mouth to speak: "You two lovers, I called you here, do you know why?"

Li Si and Wang Jian looked at each other.

Wang Jian said: "Your Majesty, how many imperial merchants were killed after they were captured by Fei Er?"

Above the court, there are no secrets to the nobles.

He is the representative of the Great Qin Xungui, and the Xungui are the most likely to take action in this matter.

Therefore, even though Wang Jian had nothing to do with this, he directly stated the nature of "victim" to let Zu Long understand his position.

Sure enough, Zu Long nodded, and the question in his eyes disappeared.

He said in a deep voice: "Yes! But not! Apart from their death, I am even more dissatisfied with their actions!"

Li Si cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Fei Er has always been in charge at this time. I believe that Fei Er needs to continue investigating this matter..."

Zu Long glanced at Li Si, who gave a wry smile.

Zu Long snorted, and said: "Li Si, now, you don't have to hide it! I can call you because I trust you! If Fei Er can find the clue, how can I bother the two masters?"

Li Si's heart shuddered, and he quickly saluted seriously.

Zeng Jin, he was also one of those nobles, and even participated in their assassination.

Later, Zu Long implicitly hinted at him, and then let him stop in time.

From that moment on, he knew that their plans and actions that they thought were seamless, in fact, in Zu Long's eyes, were like children playing house.

Indeed, it may be difficult for Zulong to find evidence of their actions.

However, if an emperor believes that you have done something, does it matter whether there is evidence?

He can crush you to death anytime!

Moreover, that so-called expert...

Qin Mu!

Although the six-year-old child mistook himself for a brain disorder, he did have an indescribable charm.

Especially, Qin Mu is so amazing!

How many unfathomable ideas are contained in that little brain?

Most of the time, things that even he can't do anything about, in Qin Mu's mouth, seem to require no effort at all!
For that iron mine, he mobilized tens of thousands of people back and forth, and spent a lot of money, but got nothing in the end.

In the end, Qin Mu just said it casually, and he found it!

Moreover, up to now, that iron mine is the only one in Daqin.

Even though Li Si had found out how to find iron ore from Qin Mu, he still found nothing.

When this iron mine is dug...

Definitely still have to go to Qin Mu.

Li Si's motive for dealing with Qin Mu in the first place was because Qin Mu might threaten his power.

As a result, after the two met, Li Si completely gave up on this idea.

Because, if Qin Mu gains power, he will definitely not be able to compare with ordinary courtiers!

It is impossible even for him to compare with it!

People are very strange, they will be jealous of someone who is slightly better than themselves.But once the gap is too big to catch up, the mentality will be peaceful instead.

But now Li Si felt that Qin Mu was the kind of person he could never compare to.

Even recently, it was rumored that the Zongzheng Mansion had received an order to supervise the country.

Most people didn't believe it - the only person who could be the supervisor of the country was just sent to the northwest by His Majesty to be the supervisor of the army!
Li Si vaguely guessed the truth.

Not only was he not jealous, but he felt more at ease.

Qin Mu started as a supervisor of the country, so it is necessary to compete with him as a prime minister for power in the future?
Zu Long asked again: "You two lovers, what should we do now, is there a good plan?"

Li Si sorted it out, and replied: "Your Majesty, for the present plan, we should first solve the problem of books, and then think about the future."

Zu Long smiled slightly, Li Si's words coincided with him.

"How to do?"

Li Si was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty, since the four imperial merchants can't do this well, then find a few more imperial merchants. The people behind the scenes can control four people, but if there are forty or four hundred people, they will always Can't you control everything?"

"Your Majesty, no!"

Wang Jian shouted: "The matter of the imperial merchants has a great impact. Our Great Qin emphasizes agriculture and suppresses merchants. If the number of imperial merchants increases, this emphasis on agriculture and suppressing merchants will definitely be affected! At that time, where will Daqin's military rations come from?"

Li Si frowned: "But if this is not the case, how can the books be sold all over the country quickly? You must know that the poor family scholars have already doubted the policy of the imperial examination, and this matter must not be delayed for too long!"

Wang Jian snorted: "If I knew, I still need you! In short, the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business cannot be changed!"

Li Si was a little angry.

If you have a good way, it's fine to refute me, but you can't help but deny me?

Even though Zu Long interrupted the quarrel between the two: "Li Xiang, what Wu Chenghou said is correct. Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business is the national policy and the foundation! It's not easy to move for now!"

Li Si smiled wryly: "But Your Majesty, the imperial examination is imminent. Apart from businessmen, who else can sell to the whole country in such a short time?"

"Even a businessman is a bit nervous!"
