Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 25

Ying Zheng's words were like thunder, blasting the faces of all the ministers in the hall, and Zhao Yi was also shocked.

[Fuck, what's the situation, how come the old man actually said the words of working hard to rejuvenate the country? 】

[Could it be that some nerve was stimulated by the old man, that's why he said such a thing? 】

Zhao Yi was puzzled, and Ying Zheng couldn't help smiling when he heard his complaints.

All the civil and military officials were shocked, and Feng Jie was the most shocked.

Work hard to rejuvenate the country and benefit the world!These words kept ringing in Feng Jie's ears, making him unable to recover for a long time.

These ten words describe the essentials of being an official, isn't that what a minister should do?

Feng Jie fell silent and was no longer as stubborn as before. It took him a long time to raise his hand and said: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable. Your Majesty, the Ninth Highness, works for the welfare of the people of the world. He has worked hard and achieved great results. I am superficial!"

Seeing that the stubborn Feng Jie was no longer stubborn, Ying Zheng smiled even more happily.

The civil and military officials were even more shocked when they saw this scene, while Young Master Fu Su and Young Master Hu Hai stared at Zhao Yi with envious eyes.

Yingzheng actually granted permission, Zhao Yi can not follow the palace rules from now on, this is a great favor!

Even Yingzheng's most beloved son, Hu Hai, has never been treated like this. This is the real imperial power!

What exactly does His Majesty want to do? Is it possible that His Majesty the Ninth Prince is really going to be made the crown prince?

Zhao Gao frowned, Young Master Hu Hai was even more impatient, and was about to go out to argue, but Zhao Gao grabbed his arm tightly.

Seeing Zhao Gaochong shaking his head and winking, young master Hu Hai calmed down.

"Alright, if you have anything else to say to me this morning, please tell me quickly."

Ying Zheng returned to the dragon chair, and the officials finally returned to silence, but Zhao Yi's complaints did not stop.

[Hehe, the old bastard was cowarded so quickly, I thought he was a tough and steadfast minister! 】

[It seems that the old man’s words have calmed him down. After all, he is an emperor through the ages. He has some skills. He can say aphorisms casually. 】

[Oh, I'm so sleepy, why don't you leave the court, how long will it take? 】

Zhao Yi opened his mouth wide and yawned. He didn't dare to stretch his waist this time, but his exaggerated yawn caused the surrounding officials to roll their eyes.

Obviously, his impression of Zhao Yi had changed just now, but he yawned, and his good impression was lost in an instant.

Ying Zheng didn't take it seriously. He was still flattered by Zhao Yi's words "one emperor for eternity" just now.

At this time, Meng Yi came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, the snowstorm in the North is still ongoing, but I have arranged hundreds of teams of scouts to go deep into the North to investigate the terrain and the situation of various departments in the North."

"At the same time, according to His Majesty's instructions, no less than ten thousand catties of disaster relief supplies have been donated to Donghu and Yuezhi. The Xiongnu Royal Court has received the news and has already responded."

"According to the latest scout report, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu learned that the Yueshi were extremely angry after being grateful for the relief materials sent to us by Great Qin. Sporadic troops have already launched warning attacks against the border tribes of the Yueshi."

"Okay!" Ying Zheng clapped his hands and laughed, "It seems that the military strategy of the Northland will come to fruition soon."

All the ministers agreed and praised Ying Zheng. After all, it was a great thing for Daqin to let barbarian dogs bite dogs at the least cost.

At this time Feng Quji also came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the severe drought in Shu has been properly dealt with."

"This time several county and county officials were involved in concealing the disaster, but fortunately they handled it in a timely manner and did not cause a major disaster."

"Now the victims of the disaster have been appeased, but food shortages have already occurred in many places in Shu, so I implore Your Majesty to exempt Shu from corvee and tax for the next three years, so as to further appease the hearts of the people."

There is a severe drought in Shu, and there is already a food shortage. If the previous corvee taxes are maintained, the officials will only force the people to rebel.

Once there is a rebellion, even if it is suppressed afterwards, it will cause indelible losses to both Shu and Daqin. However, it is easy to reduce and exempt corvee taxes, but it is difficult to increase them later.

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, wanting to hear Zhao Yi's thoughts and see what solutions he could come up with.

But at this time, Zhang Cang excitedly went out to play, "Your Majesty, the promotion of potato planting can be started in Sichuan. Give me three months, and it will definitely pay off!"

When the ministers heard this, they all looked at the baskets of potatoes above the main hall, and Feng Quji's dim eyes instantly brightened.

"Your Majesty, if these potatoes can really produce more than [-] catties per mu and mature in a short period of time, the problem of food and clothing for the people in Shu will definitely be solved! Your Majesty doesn't have to make things difficult for Shu."

Li Si originally did not agree to exempt the corvee and taxes in Shu, but he also agreed to Feng Quji and Zhang Cang's proposal.

"Your Majesty, this strategy is feasible. It seems that the potatoes of His Highness Ninth Prince can solve the biggest problem in Great Qin!"

The ministers also came to a sudden, and then echoed one after another. It is not a small matter for the people to suffer from famine, and they will rebel at every turn.

Especially when it comes to the Daqin granary, it needs to be taken seriously.

"Okay!" Ying Zheng stood up for the third time, and directly announced the decree, "I agree, Zhang Cang, the promotion of potato planting will start from the land of Shu. If the Cheqi General's Mansion can accomplish this, I will definitely give it to you." Make a note of your great achievements!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I obey the order!" Surprisingly, apart from Zhang Cang's thank you, none of the civil and military officials heard the chariot general Zhao Yi's thank you.

When the officials looked at Zhao Yi again, they found that this guy was kneeling in the hall, and had already fallen asleep. Above the hall, the officials were in an uproar again.

Young Master Hu Hai couldn't bear it any longer this time, and was the first to jump out, "Royal Father, Brother Ninth dozed off in the early court. He was so lawless that he must be severely punished. Please show me, Royal Father!"

This time, Ying Zheng showed no pretense to Hu Hai's words and glared at him fiercely. Hu Hai was immediately horrified.

Ying Zheng is always remembering Hu Hai's affairs now, so naturally he won't give Hu Hai a good look.

Hu Hai was a little baffled, and he was also a little nervous, not knowing what made his father unhappy.

Don’t you love yourself the most?Will love also disappear?It was obviously Zhao Yi who was sleeping. I am reminding you. How come it makes it seem like I was the one who made the mistake?

When Hu Hai was feeling aggrieved, Feng Jie suddenly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, His Highness Ninth Prince obviously worked too hard for the country and the people last night, that's why he lost his dignity in front of the palace, and he didn't think it was intentional."

"In addition, His Majesty has just announced the decree that His Highness the Ninth Prince does not respect the rules of the court, so this crime can be avoided."

When Hu Hai heard this, his face flushed instantly, and he really wanted to yell at the old man in front of him: "I'll smash your lungs!"
