Qin Hu

Chapter 141 Who agrees?who objected!
The princes and ministers don't care about how the emperor and his son tear each other down. Except for Han Fei's face of "it has nothing to do with me, I didn't participate in the price bidding", everyone else is in danger.

The shame of tattooing is definitely inevitable...

The prison sentence will start in a few years...

Where is the exile?
This is the crime that half the court will be guilty of.

Yes!

Gan Luo and Zhang Liang also called the price, but they finally hesitated...

Don't say that "the law does not blame the public", the people present are very clear about how ruthless the first emperor was.

When Lu Buwei and Lao Ai were liquidated at the beginning, more than half of the nobles and officials in the court changed twice, and there were countless entanglements afterwards.

The reason why they dared to jump in front of the emperor before was because they had reason and evidence, and they didn't touch the bottom line. They could do whatever they wanted, and the emperor just endured it.

Ah!
Due to the experience of Zhao Guo being a hostage in the early years, Ying Zheng is indeed very tolerant...

And his bottom line is to buy and sell in private.

To do business in Daqin, you have to report and register first, and the business tax is extremely heavy...

It's so serious that people feel that I might as well just go home and farm.

And adultery, filth...

no way!The psychological shadow caused by the empress dowager was too great.

Once these things are verified, there is no need to listen to explanations, and they will be dealt with severely.

Just as the ministers were thinking about how they should die, and their bodies were swaying like lights in the wind, Ying Zheng didn't do what they thought, and started to settle old accounts and new ones together.

On the contrary, Ying Zheng joked: "You seem to be quite interested in this candle?"

Knowingly ask!

This is very annoying...

The dukes suddenly felt humiliated.

We are not only concerned about candles?
If you hadn't been the emperor, we would have fought for the hemp paper earlier!

They think that it is better for the emperor to ask the crime directly and give themselves a good time.

Although I was very depressed and didn't want to talk, but this is the emperor's question...

All the ministers could only respond reluctantly and sparsely at the moment.

"Of course!"

Ying Zheng then asked: "Do you know how bright this candle is?"

"I-I don't know yet." This time it was Chun Yuyue who answered.

The rest of the courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding why the emperor asked this question.

But Ying Zheng stood up at this moment: "That's fine! Come to the upstairs boat tonight, and take a good look with me. It's also a way for you to understand!"

After he finished speaking, he strode away, but just one step away, all the courtiers fell to the ground with a "crash", some of them clustered together.

Afterwards, laments came and went.

"This, this, this! God..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Ministers, ministers, there are seniors and juniors!"

Ying Zheng laughed softly, and walked away without looking back, without even looking at Zhao Zihu, he thought to himself, the trick of cowarding a baby is really poisonous.

Counseling is well aware that if the government-business system is implemented, it will definitely encounter great resistance...

Don't say anything about objections. When the appointment was made, there was naturally a lot of prevarication.

These Confucian scholars, famous generals, and great sages are better than me, and they even regard merchants as inferior...

If it is necessary to ask merchants to serve as officials in the same dynasty as them, it is simply insulting.

But now it's easy!

Get a candle, and tie them all to the edge of the cliff, no need to talk nonsense, it depends on the attitude of these people...

All the ministers looked at the back of the emperor as he got on his horse and rode away, but they didn't feel as if they were being pardoned. The cold sweat was still pouring down like rain, but there was deep doubt on their pale faces.

"What is Your Majesty's intention? If you die just to let us watch the candlelight, why wait until tonight."

"Look at that stubborn tiger's face, there must be something planned, gentlemen, don't take it lightly!" Chun Yuyue also warned.

"Wealth and honor can't be lewd! Power can't be subdued! If you want someone to go against your will, you'd rather die to protect your reputation!" Zhou Qingchen gritted his teeth and said passionately.

Seeing this, Diao Chan sneered and smiled: "This old man has completely forgotten how loud and fast he was asking the price before..."

Mumbling, she hastened to speed up her pace, and caught up with the cold-blooded Thirteen Eagles and the others. Seeing Zhao Zihu yawn, she understood better.

Brother Zihu is about to go to bed, recharge his batteries, and wait to see the jokes of the ministers tonight!
Xiangliyue also knew that the little husband had important matters tonight, so when he returned to the temporary camp, he looked for a book and began to read it with interest.

In fact, she was just as curious as the officials, Diao Chan, etc., what kind of medicine the emperor and his son were selling in the gourd.

The midsummer night fell on Zhifu Island after a long time, and it was the beginning of Xushi after dinner.

Yingzheng summoned his servants, Zhao Zihu came out of the tent in good spirits, and within a few steps, he saw dozens of figures in the distance, like zombies with their chests hunched over, one foot deep and the other foot shallow, wandering towards the upper boat.

Looking at the fluffy moon in the sky on the right side of the building, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene of a group of corpses worshiping the moon in a certain classic movie.

When the sea breeze blew, Zhao Zihu couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

When he entered the palace room and took a look, he was almost scared out of his wits.

I saw a group of princes and ministers, except for Han Da's flickering, all of them had sunken eyes and dry faces, as if they had aged ten years in one afternoon.

Especially in this palace where two candles are lit, the candles are trembling and bright, not to mention how pervasive they are, and they are smiling like a chrysanthemum.

Sitting behind the imperial case, Ying Zheng also looked crazy, staring at the red candle in front of him, with the bright light against it, he looked like a leader of an esoteric sect: "Zhu Qing, do you think this fire is good?"

"Good! Very good! Just two lamps, illuminating the huge palace as if it were daytime..."

"It's so strange! A certain person is about a foot away from this candle, and yet he can still feel the warmth?"

"Such a magical fire, if it can be lighted for a few days and nights, it is not an exaggeration to sell it for a gold!"

Zhao Zihu felt that Zhou Qingchen's words sounded like Zhou Qingchen's, so he couldn't help asking amusedly: "Dare to ask Master Zhou. If this candle can only be burned for a day and a night, how much money will it be?"

"Is this a matter of buying and selling?" Zhou Qingchen kicked the ball back immediately, he didn't want to be tricked by this naughty tiger again.

"Hiss! Seeing Master Zhou like this, could it be that he has been restless all afternoon? Are you worried about what punishment he will receive?"

Zhou Qingchen's breathing was stagnant, and he was about to speak hard, but he heard the emperor greet him.

"My son is here. Come to me! Zhou Pushe, you just say it's okay."

Is this a signal?
Zhou Qingchen understood it instantly, frowned slightly, and glanced at Chunyu Yue who was also puzzled. Seeing that the other party was just stroking his beard slowly, he swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth nervously.

"I'm afraid it will cost a hundred dollars? Hunting big fish is so dangerous."

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, Zhao Zihu knelt down beside Yingzheng, and then asked, "If I say, each of these big fish can produce three thousand catties of oil wax, which can make tens of thousands of candles, and it will be sold widely to everyone." Min. How much money do you want?"

"Wait a minute! The master's implication is to organize people to go out to sea to hunt this big fish? I wonder how many there are?" Chunyu Yue thought for a while, and asked the most critical question.

"The number of these big fish? Maybe it's incalculable, maybe there are only tens of thousands of them in the waters around Daqin. I do have the idea of ​​setting up a whaling industry! But there must be some restrictions..."

Zhao Zihu paused, and then continued: "Because as far as I know, it takes two to three years for this big fish to give birth once," only one litter each time.If it is the plan of the Great Qin Wannian, indiscriminate arrest must be prohibited! "

"My lord is so bold! He has such compassion for animals." Xia Huanggong praised.It's just that his wide-eyed and small eyes, coupled with his half-dead appearance after being mentally tortured all afternoon, is no different from wanting to eat people.

"Fishing to make wax, widely sold to the people..."

"It's going to be sold to Baiyue." Zhao Zihu answered Han Fei's mumbled words.

Ying Yao looked at the emperor in astonishment: "My lord wants to practice the way of a merchant?"

Before Ying Zheng, Zhao Zihu and his son could speak, Chun Yuyue and the others scrambled to express their objections.

"No!"

"That's impossible! Daqin's business tax is so heavy, how can those people who are full of money, take the risk and go to Baiyue to do business?"

When they were almost yelling, Zhao Zihu glanced around, and then said it funny.

"If I say, these merchants will be under the control of the Great Qin Emperor, and all the money they get will go to the treasury. What do you think?"

Now, it was Zhang Liang's turn to be surprised: "My lord, could it be that you want to confer official titles on these merchants?"

Zhao Zihu nodded.

"This matter is even more unacceptable! Your Majesty, you will surely breed tigers for a long time!" Li Si also stood up and advised.

Before the unification of the Great Qin Dynasty, he was Lu Buwei's guest minister. Not only did he often deal with merchants, but he also persuaded the first emperor to send people to pretend to be merchants to bribe and alienate the monarchs of the six countries.

He knew that they were a group of tigers and wolves who value profit over justice.

Ying Zheng smiled at Li Si, but looked at Chun Yuyue, Ying Yao and the others one by one, and asked, "You also think that it is not appropriate to implement the policy of government and business?"

Those who met his gaze instinctively wanted to show their position, but immediately thought of what happened in the morning, and all of them lowered their heads in shame.

"Prime Minister Li is overthinking! But he forgot the existence of Daqin Ruishi. Moreover, what His Majesty and I mean, this official business is just a trial run for a while!"

Li Si turned around to look at his colleagues in bewilderment. He was immersed in his business in another cabin in the morning. Although he knew that there must be something to do with the noise outside, he didn't bother to inquire.

Hearing what Zhao Zihu said again, he considered it carefully and immediately realized that if this great Qin sharp scholar paved the way for officials and businessmen, the officials and businessmen who have amassed all the wealth of the world are probably acting as a stepping stone for the official school system that is related to the world's cultural context up.

The first emperor and his son, are they playing tricks on Chunyu and the others? !
Seeing Li Si's face suddenly realized, Zhao Zihu laughed.

Yingzheng noticed that the atmosphere was similar, he laughed and said, "Don't be dazed! This official and business strategy can be tried, just speak freely."

"It's all right!"

Zhou Qingchen thought, you, the emperor's son, sharpened the knife in the morning and put it on my neck, what else can I say?

Unexpectedly, this old Zhou, who was the most resolute in expressing his position before, was the fastest to compromise at this time. Chun Yuyue stared at him for a long time, and finally had to raise his hands and bowed deeply, expressing his approval of the emperor's decision.

　Looks like a bit of heatstroke. . .that's all
