Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 444: Save money (please give me a monthly ticket recommendation!)

Meng Tian said to Meng Yi:
"I already understand why you came here. In fact, I have already made a decision on this matter. If Your Majesty issues an edict, I will definitely obey it. Because I, Meng Tiansheng, was the captain of Qin's army, and I will be loyal even if I die. His Majesty the Emperor protects the world."

"The reason why I, Meng Tian, ​​am at odds with His Majesty now is just because I want to urge His Majesty to follow the example of the late Emperor and suppress the world with his power."

"But I didn't expect that once the emperor changed, the minds of the courtiers would also change. I have seen few people in this court who are willing to say some painstaking words of advice to His Majesty."

"If I don't do this, who will?"

"Your Majesty is the crown prince appointed by the late emperor. Now that he has succeeded to the throne, he must abide by the etiquette and law. I, Meng Tian, ​​have no objection to this. But according to my observation, there are indeed people who want to use this incident to attack my Meng family."

"It is precisely because of the changes in the current situation and the late emperor's decree that I feel that it is difficult to have both. There is an emperor and a minister."

"Now it seems that I have nothing to do. His Majesty wants me to lead an army of 30 men back and use Li Xin to fight against the Huns. I think he also doesn't trust my Meng family. But it is not necessarily true that His Majesty also trusts Li Xin."

Meng Yi felt ashamed after hearing these shocking words.

But after suffering the loss of the late emperor, Meng Yi was not easily swayed by Meng Tian's words.

It is impossible for him to openly defy His Majesty in court with his brother.

The two brothers knew each other very well what this meant to the emperor.

"Brother, why are you so sure? Your Majesty will not believe Li Xin's words."

"His Majesty asked me to mobilize 30 troops back to Guanzhong. If your Majesty doesn't believe me, but trusts Li Xin more, he will definitely find a way to hand over the empire's ace army directly to Li Xin. Why bother to spend a lot of time and deploy additional troops for him. I think Your Majesty must have his own ideas."

"It's just that I, Meng Tian, ​​was the auxiliary minister left to him by the late emperor. His Majesty didn't want the ministers to think that the emperor was under my control, so the situation today happened."

"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is not only setting up ministers and ministers, but also re-establishing the Secretariat. In the past, His Majesty was so suppressed by the late emperor that he never got ahead. Now that he is in the imperial court, he thinks he doesn't know anyone he can trust. "

Meng Yi was greatly moved after hearing these words.

"I was overly worried this time. I actually thought that my brother was narrow-minded in his own opinion and failed to consider the overall situation. I didn't expect that my brother has been cooperating with His Majesty the Emperor."

After hearing this, Meng Tian showed no pride at all, and still looked calm.

He frowned and looked up at Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum to the west:
"The reason why I am so cautious and want to fulfill the second generation is naturally to repay His Majesty the First Emperor for his support and trust in me, Meng Tian."

This matter was completely explained, and Meng Yi's heart was greatly enlightened, and he finally saw the moon behind the clouds.

In the past few days, there has been a prosperous scene in the court, but the Meng Mansion has always been in a gloomy and bleak situation.

Looking at it now, the entire Meng Mansion is shrouded in silvery white moonlight, and everything is so peaceful.

Meng Tian said with great emotion:
"I have been outside the customs for many years, and I miss the mountains and rivers of Xianyang very much. I feel that all the vegetation and houses in Xianyang are old acquaintances with me."

The Wei River was murmuring, and the two brothers stood silently together on the attic, looking at the brightly lit imperial capital.

……

……

……

The next day, the court meeting.

As the sun rises, accompanied by the crowing of roosters, smoke is already rising from the homes of Xianyang people, and carriages are already passing through the streets of the city.

In this early morning in Xianyang City, there is a rare hustle and bustle with some tranquility.

The news of Li Xin's stay in the palace spread like wings outside the city.

After Meng Tian heard this, he just smiled and said nothing.

At least, considering that the second son was chosen by the late emperor, he should believe that the second son would not be so confused.

After the bell sounded, the courtiers gathered to pay homage to the emperor.

All the ministers were waiting eagerly, as if they were waiting to announce a piece of news that would shock everyone in the government and the public. For example, Meng Tian was old and should go home to grow old.

Meng Yi looked at the emperor vigilantly, if someone would be against his brother, then he, the court lieutenant, would stand up and speak for his brother.

But at this moment, the Prime Minister came out first to speak.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty recently asked me about the inaccessibility of currency outside the customs. After investigation, I found that counterfeit currency, bad currency, and currencies from six countries are circulating in the city. There are many people who exchange things for things. This knife It’s really hard to pass coins.”

The second generation sat upright. He didn't expect that the prime minister was still such a careful person.

"Although commerce is at an end, the currency circulation matter is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. I have decided to appoint someone to reorganize this matter. I wonder if the Prime Minister can recommend someone."

Feng Quji's cheeks were slightly sunken, he was really thinking.

In the Qin Dynasty, most of the people in the court were military strategists and political strategists. The only people who really talked about governing the country were the emperor and the prime minister.

The internal problems of the Qin State are not only the problem of insufficient officials. Now it seems that the structure of the court should also be adjusted.

The era of seven kingdoms coexisting has passed, and the era of politicians and military strategists has passed.

"Reporting to your majesty, I have searched the guts and found no results. It's just that the matter of unifying the currency was handled by the former Zuo Prime Minister Wei Xiang."

"When I saw him before I ascended the throne, he was already deaf in both ears. How could I still do anything?"

Fusu frowned slightly.

In fact, Fusu wanted to use people from the Six Kingdoms.

The Qin State itself has long-established habits that are hard to change. It focuses on military affairs and farming. For matters such as commerce, it basically relies on the laws set by Shang Yang in the past.

As for this government-run business, how well planned it was at the beginning, is now so ironic.

Instead, this became a way for Qin officials to squeeze the people.

The currency issue has not been resolved, and it is difficult to imagine how they can continue to operate through government-run means.

Fusu did not want to raise this issue in the court, lest some ministers would not come to power.Who asked him to hold the throne for less than a month?

"I think that your majesty can use the title of Wei, the son of Wei Zhuang, the governor of Su Nei."

Wei said - Fusu was not familiar with it.

But in my impression, Wei Zhuang is an honest person.

If you can manage the granary, you may not be able to manage the business.

"See you later."

Fusu was very pleased with the Prime Minister's performance today.

But the expressions of the ministers had changed.

This is different from what they expected.

Nothing happened.

Meng Tian also felt a little confused. Did His Majesty the Emperor forget what happened in the past? Why did he act like nothing happened today.

"In the past, when the late emperor was still alive, in order to suppress the world, he patrolled Xianyang east many times and suppressed the world. Now that I have just ascended the throne, although I have the intention to imitate the late emperor, there are many affairs in the court. Therefore, I decided to order Wang Wu, the imperial censor, to join the five ministers in the court. I advise the officials to form a mission to tour the land of Western Chu on my behalf."

After hearing this decision, the young man in charge of the treasury naturally wanted to praise the emperor for his understanding of justice, because after hearing this decision, he immediately thought of two words - save money!
(After thinking about it, I may have to finish the book as soon as possible. The data is so long that I can’t finish it. In this critical stage of my junior year, I’d better use my energy to study hard.)
