Hearing Ying Zheng's question, Chen Ke gave an answer that made Ying Zheng feel helpless and shocked.

"Because it saves money."

Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty also knows that the corvee we are recruiting now is not purely recruiting corvee, but has to be paid."

"While it's a small amount of money, save a little if you can."

"Money is always used wisely."

Hearing Chen Ke's words, Ying Zheng was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't know where to start. He just looked at him and said, "Chen Ke, I think sometimes you are a little contradictory."

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Ying Zheng's thoughts washed away like a flood.

"I can see that sometimes you hate businessmen very much, but sometimes you think money is very important."

"But aren't the two together?"

Chen Ke didn't understand: "Why are they together?"

"Is there any contradiction between hating businessmen and focusing on money?"

"What I hate is that merchants value profits over righteousness. As long as they make money, they will open their mouths. Even if they go to betray and sell their own country, they will never show any mercy."

"But money is the cornerstone of everything."

"Unless it is still in a war-torn era, money is the most important thing."

"Because only money can lead all stable and peaceful people to a better life."

"Only in this way, the world will become more and more peaceful."

When Chen Ke said this, there was a touch of indifference in his voice, like a person who is heartless and desireless.

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and frowned slightly: "I don't think money is unimportant, but I just think that you are the prime minister of the court and value merchants so much, will you?"

Chen Ke sighed, he fully understood Ying Zheng's worries.

It's just that he doesn't care about it.

"Your Majesty, with you and me here, so what if merchants gradually gain their own status?"

He said disdainfully: "Under the iron fist of His Majesty and the court, the so-called merchant is just an ant, an ant that can be crushed to death at any time."

There was a little calm in Chen Ke's eyes, he didn't really want to continue discussing this topic.

So looking at Ying Zheng, he changed the subject with a smile in his tone: "Your Majesty, these are trivial matters."

"I've heard that, you seem to be looking for a concubine for Fusu these days?"

Ying Zheng took a deep look at Chen Ke, and didn't discuss too much on the topic just now, but said, "Not bad."

He sighed, and held his forehead helplessly: "Fusu is 24 years old now, and I already have several children at his age."

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and said, "But all this time, I haven't found a suitable concubine for Fusu."

His voice was dignified and serious: "Fusu will be the second emperor in the future, and his main concubine must be the empress."

"The first queen of the Great Qin Empire must not make any mistakes."

"Her background and everything about her can represent Daqin."

Ying Zheng's voice was cold: "It can also symbolize the future direction of Daqin."

"So we must be cautious and cautious."

"But the time has come to this time. I'm afraid I don't have the time to continue looking for a suitable concubine for Fusu."

Listening to Ying Zheng's words, Chen Ke felt a little melancholy.

He understood what Ying Zheng said.

Yingzheng did not have a clearly recorded queen in history, and later Huhai and Qin Ziying also did not have a queen. One is because the time of ascending the throne is too short, and the other is because of troubled times and the inability to control the entire world.

This caused a very interesting thing, the three generations of the entire Great Qin Dynasty, or strictly speaking, two generations of emperors, did not have a queen.
Of course, this is in the original history.

But today's history has changed, Fusu will definitely have a queen, and Daqin will not perish in the second generation.

But one thing has not changed.

That is, Ying Zheng still has no queen.

When the successor's crown princess and future queen are determined, almost all hungry wolves in the world can figure out something from the identity of this "future queen".

This is what Ying Zheng is worried about.

Chen Ke shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness, after all, he was really not good at this kind of thing.

Let Ying Zheng have a headache.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this round of attacks could affect himself.

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and said, "Chen Ke, you are already 27, and you are about to reach your thirties, and there is no one around you."

"Are you planning to be alone all this time?"

Chen Ke was a little silent.

Isn't it, this can be driven by yourself?
It's just that he really didn't have too many plans for these things.
Although he doesn't have a wife by his side, the problem is that there are many people around him. It's just that he doesn't like to have a fixed, so-called "home".

At least at this time, he didn't meet anyone who could make him tempted.

Therefore, in order to avoid the emperor's repeated urging of marriage, Chen Ke decided to confess directly.

"Your Majesty, I have no such intention."

He said something that shocked even Yingzheng: "The world is not in peace, so what should we do at home?"

The original version of these words was Huo Qubing's answer to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it was used by Chen Ke at this time, but it was also very appropriate.

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke with a complicated expression, but didn't say anything else.

He just said, "That's all."

He looked at the chess game in front of him, and changed the subject again: "How long do you think Wang Jian's army can take Dongyue after they have the weapon of firearms?"

This time the Great Qin army is vast and mighty, seemingly majestic, but in fact it does not intend to wipe out all the land of Baiyue in a short period of time.

Their plan is just an East Vietnam.

A Dongyue is much easier to solve.

After using Wang Jian and Firearms, the attack on Dongyue seems to have become a joke.

Of course, what they did in Kuaiji County in the early stage was also one of their trump cards.

Chen Ke just smiled slightly: "Time?"

"If General Wang goes to war, I'm afraid Dongyue will be captured within three days."

Kuaiji County

Daqin's army moved slowly, and finally arrived at Kuaiji County before winter came.

Wang Jian was riding on horseback with a slightly dazed expression.

He looked at the mountains in the distance, and even felt a little satisfied in his heart.

This is the burial place he chose for himself.

A general's life is nothing more than dying in battle, why should he care so much?
He immediately smiled and looked at the many soldiers behind him.

"The whole army is stationed!"

Wang Jian took out a kit from his bosom, which was given by Chen Ke before he left.

It is said that the third condition is in it.

"Let the old man take a look, what is the condition that makes Chen boy so mysterious?"
