Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 72 Eyes facing each other, does the eldest princess love me?
Different identities have different perspectives on issues.

As a noble daughter of the royal family and the daughter of the first emperor, Yuan Man absolutely could not understand Yu Ji's desire for a noble status.

Speaking of hypocrisy, she would rather be Concubine Yu, not have to bear the righteousness of her family and country, and be able to get a gentleman to join hands, even if she is poor.

What's more, Yu Ji's gentleman is not really poor, he is a military meritorious prince, the lord of the country, and the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is self-sufficient and self-sufficient, but in fact he is contented and contented. The nourishment of his small life makes him as honorable as his father, and I am afraid it cannot be compared...

Concubine Yu, a cheap dancer, can be favored by such a gentleman, how can she not be envied?Who is not envious!

"What a beauty, tsk tsk."

Seeing that Yuan Man seemed sad, the servants looked at the perfumes in feigned surprise and smacked their lips in admiration.

Yuan Man came back to his senses, and turned to look at the bottles of perfume.

Just now, her mind was all on Yu Ji, and she didn't pay attention to the perfume brought down by the servants. Now that she looked carefully, she couldn't help but her beautiful eyes shone, and she was immediately attracted to her.

The glass bottles are exquisite and unique, with different shapes and colors, and there are many cute cartoon flowers, fruits and animal shapes.

Yuan Man was delighted to see it, picked up a 'Bambi' to play with, and finally pulled out the small nose plug, poured out a drop of perfume in his belly and smelled it.

It is musk, which seems to be blended with other spices, and it smells elegant and graceful!
"It's delicious. In the future, Qin Xiang will honor the princess. These beautiful things will also be the property of the princess. I will envy others."

The servants sniffed their noses and sniffed, not without envy.

Yuan Man was stunned for a moment, but immediately had a strange expression, looking in the direction of Yu Ji's driving away, with a look of shame.

The servants got along with her day and night, and seeing her expression, they could tell what she was thinking, and they immediately tried to persuade her.

"Princess, don't be soft-hearted."

"Then what a gentleman Qin Xiang is, it's rare that His Majesty intends to match him up. If you miss it, you will regret it."

"Could it be...Could it be that the princess doesn't like Prime Minister Qin, so she hesitates?"

The last question entered Yuan Man's heart, and he lowered his eyes and said: "Father's order is hard to disobey, so it doesn't matter if I like it or not."

The servants knew her temperament, and they knew what she wanted when they heard this, and they were overjoyed to make suggestions: "The visitor is used to dressing up, but there are many skillful hands in our palace, we must let the princess dress up a hundred times better than her, no, a thousand times." Ten thousand times!"

The servants and women clenched their fists, their morale was high, and some women even said: "That's right, we must let Qin meet each other, and then we will be hard!"

Yuan Man: "..."

……

……

As Yuan Man received the escort order, Qin Mo outside the palace also received the escort order.

In addition, the decree about the academy has also been passed down.

Unexpectedly, Yingzheng did not send officials to settle in, but directly appointed Han Fei as a doctor, and still managed all matters of the academy.

The rest of the masters are also sealed off.

In the future, all the expenses of the academy will be paid by the national treasury!
"Your lord, if you only want to be the servant of the lord and don't want to be an official of the court, it doesn't matter if the doctor doesn't do it."

Holding the official seal in his hand, Han Fei sued, but his face was full of reluctance. He came to the hut to ask Qin Mo to help him resign.

Qin Mo waved his hand: "It's still the same thing, but it's just a salary from the imperial court, so why bother with it, sir."

Han Fei shook his head solemnly and said, "If you are not an official of the court, how should you deal with the prince and lord?"

"It's so easy!"

Qin Mo smiled casually, and said, "From today onwards, you will no longer be my guest."

Han Fei's old eyes suddenly stared round, and then angrily dropped the official seal in his hand, pulled out his sword and said, "I don't want to die to show my ambition..."

"Okay, okay, don't wipe your neck all the time~!"

Qin Mo hastily held down the hilt of his sword, he couldn't laugh or cry and said, "I'm not a guest, but a friend. Elder brother, why can't you turn the corner?"

He shouted "brother", which made Han Fei stagnate, and resentfully put away his sword and said, "As a prime minister, you have always been alone, and I am afraid that you will be alienated as a brother in the future."

Qin Mo shook his head: "Even if I don't alienate my brother, His Majesty won't blame me."

"It should be noted that your majesty dares to let my brother take charge of the affairs of the school, because he does not care about the relationship between you and me, and trusts my brother's character."

"Otherwise, how can I ask for trouble and leave hidden dangers for the state affairs. Didn't my elder brother say it himself? If you eat the king's salary and be loyal to the king, you must be an official, and you won't abolish the public for personal reasons."

"So, His Majesty's vision of seeing people is still very accurate!"

Han Fei was dumbfounded, and said quietly for a long while: "For others, I will not abolish the public for personal reasons, but for a prince, I will say nothing..."

Qin Mo interrupted the conversation with a wave of his hand, and said angrily: "Brother rarely takes a rest, so if you have nothing to do, hurry home and accompany your wife. I have to prepare the equipment for patrolling the road here."

Han Fei stopped talking, picked up the official seal, and left the hut to go home.

……

In the evening, Concubine Yu finally delivered the perfume, sent the carriage into the academy, then rushed back to the hut excitedly, pulled Qin Mo and walked out.

"Why are you going so late? I'm going on a tour with the driver the day after tomorrow, and I have to pack my things!"

Qin Mo pulled her back with his backhand, and continued to tidy up the cage.

Concubine Yu snatched the cage, and while tidying it up quickly, she said, "Didn't I say a few days ago that I want to take Junzi to play with my daughter-in-law, and introduce some good sisters to Junzi by the way."

Qin Mo was speechless for a moment: "You really intend to let me get a bad reputation? Did you receive some stimulation in the palace?"

"When the servant entered the palace to deliver the perfume, it happened that His Majesty passed on an edict to ask Princess Yuan Man to accompany him on patrol." Yu Ji complained.

Qin Mo came to a sudden: "Then it's okay to go play with your daughter-in-law."

"However, there is one thing I don't understand. Your sisters donated a hundred thousand dollars to the army before. The imperial court presumably rewarded them. Why are you still working as a nun...?"

Concubine Yu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has replaced the lowly nationality and immigrated outside the Great Wall. It stands to reason that all lowly nationality in the world should go there enthusiastically."

"But why are there still many people working in the wealthy family?"

Qin Mo was stunned for a while, but he was speechless.

There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Yingzheng replaced the lowly nationalities and immigrated outside the Great Wall. Many wealthy families took the initiative to obtain good loans for them in order to keep those servants who were easy to use.

Then, in the form of employment, they are recruited to do things at home.

And those servants who got a good loan were also happy to serve their original masters, and they were unwilling to go beyond the Great Wall when they were killed.

To put it bluntly, it is just a sentence, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, working in a wealthy family is better than living in Qianshou!

In the same way, those singers and dancers who can only entertain people with sex, even if they are rewarded and have an official status like Concubine Yu, those farm houses that rely on rewards alone may not be happy with entertainment.

Back then, when Yu Ji first arrived at Qin Mo's place, ordinary officials really couldn't afford to enjoy the beautiful ornaments and costumes she brought...

"If your sisters are officials, how can they still entertain people with sex? It will harm the court's dignity, and they will be punished!" Qin Mo said again.

Yu Ji giggled and said, "What if I just treat guests to a banquet at home?"

Qin Mo was dumbfounded again, it took so much pains to do all the tricks of socialites.

Seeing that he was not talking, Yu Ji suddenly asked in a muffled voice: "Gentleman, if you marry the eldest princess in the future, will you still love your servant like this?"

Qin Mo finally noticed that her mood was abnormal, and said softly, "What are you thinking so much about? It's fine if I don't marry the princess."

Yu Ji shook her head and said earnestly: "I mean, if I say, I will grow old sooner or later, will a gentleman still love me?"

Qin Mo was hesitant, but before he could say anything, Yu Ji suddenly laughed again, patted the hilt of the sword on her waist and said, "If a gentleman dislikes the servant that day, the servant will finish it himself, saving so many troubles!"

When she said this, it was as if her heart had been untied, and the faint sadness between her brows disappeared in an instant.

But Qin Mo was shocked by her determination after she relaxed, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "In this life, I will definitely not let you make the same mistakes again!"

Yu Ji didn't know if she understood or not, she just nodded, then quickly packed up the two boxes and said, "Can we go out and play now?"

"Really go?"

"I'm afraid, they won't eat you again..."

……

……

Two days passed in a flash, and Qin Mo and Yu Ji's girlfriends also had a good two days.

In the past two days, the grand occasion of the auction has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Xianyang City.

The common people are fond of talking about Zhenghu Opera, and they are even more amazed at the valuable foreign goods.

Those merchants who were lucky enough to participate in the auction became the objects of pursuit of the common people. The foreign goods and BMWs in their hands were originally intended to be brought back to their hometowns for sale.

But before they were taken out of Xianyang City, they were already sold out with a lot of money.

Going out of the fortress to make a lot of money seems to have become the consensus of the people!
At this time, Ying Zheng also issued an imperial edict, which was roughly divided into two parts.

The first is to release the confinement of the common people. Merchants are no longer counted as lowly, and they are given rations to cultivate. When doing business, good land cannot be abandoned, and funds cannot be used to pay for labor.

Otherwise, if it is verified, all family property will be confiscated, and the penalty will be lifelong hard labor.

This is a bit of letting go, but not completely letting go!

After all, it is easy to not waste good land, and it can be rented to others to cultivate, and it can make some money.

However, it is a heavy shackle not being able to use money to pay for the corvee. Even if you do business in Siberia, you have to obediently come back to serve the corvee every year.

Second, when people from other countries enter the fortress, they must first serve three months of hard labor before they are allowed to do business and live. This is the case every year.

This is very domineering!

It not only restrains the merchants of Daqin, but also avoids the dirty work of "taking foreign passports and making domestic money".

There are also certain restrictions on the entry of merchants from outside the region. When you come, you have to build the Great Qin, otherwise you are not qualified to gain a foothold in the land of the Great Qin!

The reason why Ying Zheng issued these edicts was entirely because the proceeds from the auction had already paid commercial taxes.

The amount is so huge that it seems to exceed the annual tax of a large county!
Faced with such a huge profit, Yingzheng and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all motivated, and on the premise of ensuring farming and fighting, they released the people from imprisonment to a limited extent.

In other words, it is crossing the river by feeling the stones. After all, governing such a large centralized country is the first time in the world.

Everything needs to be tried, and if it doesn’t work, change it!

After the edict was promulgated, there was a sensation in Xianyang and Guanzhong. Merchants wept bitterly, and bowed in the direction of the Qin Palace.

But at the time of the renovation of the tripod, Yingzheng's royal driver had already left Xianyang City, led all the officials accompanying him, and more than ten thousand elite guards, and headed south to Wuguan.

"Aiqing, you have fallen!"

Inside Yuyu's car, Ying Zheng looked at Qin Mo, who was yawning profusely and had dark circles under his eyes, and couldn't help but angrily and funnyly blamed him.

The eldest daughter, Yuan Man, was waiting beside him, washing a set of fine porcelain tea sets, but her small eyes also glanced at Qin Mo from time to time.

In the past two days, Qin Mo has been hanging out with a group of female officials who were born as daughters-in-law. Others may not know it, but the father and daughter are very clear about it.

Very frustrating!

"It's really Ye Zhe Yu's kind invitation, and those female officials are also friends of Ye Zhe Yu, I can't refuse, so I can only go to the banquet." Qin Mo said with a face full of shame.

Ying Zheng wrinkled his nose and said, "How much did Ai Qing drink these days?"

"Hiccup~!"

Qin Mo hiccupped, and said embarrassingly, "Taste a little, just a little taste, mainly because I studied a few musical instruments."

Ying Zheng couldn't laugh or cry: "How many new musical instruments have you studied?"

Qin Mo nodded: "Yes, do you want me to bring some musical instruments and play for His Majesty?"

Ying Zheng said unhappily: "Ai Qing should go back to wake up the bar first."

Then, he said to Yuan Man who was beside him: "Send Qin Qing back to his car to rest, and come to see me when he wakes up!"

Yuan Man took the order, and instead of tinkering with the tea set that had already been washed three or four times, he helped Qin Mo get off the Yuyu chariot, and boarded the five prince chariots that followed.

In the car, Yu Ji was still sleeping soundly with a blushing face.

Yuan Man helped Qin Mo, who was reeking of alcohol, to lie down next to Yu Ji, and then seemed to be exhausted, and fell directly on Qin Mo's body.

Qin Mo: "..."

Well, B+, C at most, to be honest, far worse than Yu Ji.

Qin Mo shook his head, throwing away the messy thoughts.

Although he was drunk, he was conscious, and he dared not insult the eldest princess, so he hurriedly opened his arms to avoid touching something that should not be touched, and said: "I'm sorry, the eldest princess, get up quickly."

Yuan Man's pretty face was flushed, and she put her hands on Qin Mo's shoulders, got up in a panic and sat aside, looking at Yu Ji quietly.

Seeing that the little girl was still sleeping soundly, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, I felt an inexplicable excitement in my heart, um, it was the excitement of a man!

Especially when Yu Ji was sleeping beside her, it was really sinful and exciting for her to be like Qin Mo.

It was as if something sinful in my heart had been released!

Qin Mo didn't know her paradoxical thoughts, seeing her flustered, he said: "Princess, you can go back to your car to rest first, after I sober up, I will go to see Your Majesty."

Yuan Man shook his head: "President Qin and the visitor are drunk, so they can't be left alone. Father will blame me."

Qin Mo: "Actually... you can call a waiter to take care of you."

Yuan Man: "..."

Yuan Man was not willing to leave, but just sat there without saying a word or leaving.

Qin Mo had no choice but to let it go, close his eyes and fall asleep.

But after a while, he suddenly heard a rustling sound beside him, and when he opened his eyes, it was Yuan Man who was approaching him and sizing him up.

The two happened to meet each other's eyes, and they were all stunned!

The last time Yuan Man saw Qin Mo drunk, he thought he was fast asleep if he wasn't snoring, but this time he was feigning sleep, and he was immediately embarrassed.

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, then said drunkenly, "Does the eldest princess love me?"

Yuan Man: "..."

Do you want to be so direct?
