This first emperor is awesome

Wang Jian thanked the servant, and then returned to his seat again.

"Although today is a state banquet, there are still a few important matters for you to discuss."

Ying Zheng said to himself, looking at Manchu's civil and martial arts.

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Everyone shouted in unison.

"First, salt, iron, paper, and coal are gradually on the right track, and the franchise rights of the imperial store are all in place. It is only waiting for Feng Changqing to choose a good and auspicious day, and it can be opened for operation."

"Secondly, the current population of the Great Qin Empire is more than [-] million, but the empire is vast. Wasteland can be seen everywhere. How can we encourage the people to have more children and more blessings? Expand the population of the empire?"

"Thirdly, the warships of the Imperial Navy have been built in Yanhai in the southern border. How many people are needed for the navy? Who can take on the big job?"

"Fourth, male eighteenth-year-olds need to register separately, and the imperial court grants ten acres of land as permanent land, and anyone who dares to smuggle will not be pardoned for death. Surplus good land in various places needs to be planned and designated as imperial court, which can be leased. When a farmer plows, one out of fifty is the tax for renting the land."

"Fifth, the people of Chu ruled Chu, and the people of Yan ruled Yan. This is a temporary strategy for the unification of the world. It has been more than ten years since the unification of the world. Today, the four seas are unified. There are no Chu people, Qi people, Yan people, Zhao people, and Han people. , divided into Wei people, there are only Qin people in the world of Kyushu."

"Heroes are not judged by their backgrounds, but their success or failure is judged by their talents. The Great Qin Empire is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great. I want to open Enke in Xianyang, recruit talents from all over the world, and serve the empire. All the people of the Great Qin, regardless of their background , Anyone who has the talent and learning to govern the country can be entrusted with important tasks."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, there was no sound in the hall.

Everyone began to discuss in low voices, what was supposed to come has finally come, this surging trend is irreversible!

If you want to keep power, you can only be invincible if you continue to cultivate yourself and learn together.

"Your Majesty's paper and coal are the imperial court's secret skills, so it's okay to specialize in them. But salt and iron are very involved. Many merchants and noble families own a large number of mines, and iron is the most important weapon of the country. How can they be sold?"

Feng Quji knew that at this time, he should be the first to speak out.

Ying Zheng didn't speak, but looked at the eunuch Cheng aside.

The eunuch Cheng immediately understood, and shouted loudly: "Bring it up."

Soon, several servants came in carrying trays of snow-white salt, and some servants were holding strange iron tools, making everyone look at each other in disbelief.

Everyone was given some iron tools and snow-white refined salt.

"After purification, this refined salt not only has a wonderful appearance, but also has a pure taste, which is by no means comparable to those bitter salts on the market."

"Shovels, sickles, iron forks, iron plows, pinching knives, short shovels, dustpans, lifts, iron rakes, and iron shovels are all used in agricultural tools, which can greatly increase production and reduce the burden on the people."

"This winding car is improved from the hand-operated reeling car. It has the ability to collect silk. It doesn't need to be moved by hand, just step on it with your feet, which greatly improves the efficiency of weaving. From then on, women in Daqin can also use it after the busy farming season. This is used to supplement the family income.”

The eunuch Cheng repeated all the words His Majesty taught him, and explained carefully.

After eunuch Cheng explained the functions of various tools, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, all of whom had long mouths, were stunned.

These things are all epoch-making, even if Lu Ban is alive, the uncanny work is nothing more than that, right?

"Do you have any questions, ladies?"

Looking at the silent hall, Ying Zheng asked softly.

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, if you bow your head, how can you say no.

"Once the Imperial Shop comes out, it will be popular all over the world. Who should be in charge?"

Ying Zheng frowned, looked at the crowd and asked.It's not that he is narcissistic, but that these things are the foundation of benefiting the people.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the ministers below immediately shone brightly.

This is a cash cow!

They don't need to think about it to know that once these epoch-making things come out, they are definitely all in demand.

Who wouldn't want to win this kind of fat difference?

Even if His Majesty is staring at you and dare not play small tricks, but if you have money, you will straighten your back. No matter what the department under your jurisdiction does and needs money, it is not a swipe of your hand, it is convenient and you don't need to ask for help.

Therefore, the departments of Jiuqing, no matter who is in charge, absolutely don't want to let this fat job go.

Even Feng Quji, the censor doctor, wanted to take this cash cow into his hands, but he knew very well that this was absolutely impossible!

Looking at the quarreling ministers, Ying Zheng spoke to stop the chaotic situation.

"Young master wins Luo."

Ying Zheng spoke directly.

Seeing His Majesty's words, the chaotic hall quickly quieted down.

A group of ministers with blushing faces and thick necks all looked at Young Master Yingluo.

"The minister is here."

Yingluo is in his early forties, a handsome talent, although he is of royal blood, he is not a descendant of His Majesty.

It is the great-great-grandson of King Xiaowen, who is also considered to be of the same origin as His Majesty. He is a descendant of the Great Qin royal family. In terms of seniority, His Majesty is his uncle.

According to the laws of Great Qin, although he is a relative of the emperor, if he has no real talent and achievements, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the temple.

He has read poetry and books since he was a child. Yingluo served as a political counselor in the court, with a salary of [-] shi, and was under the jurisdiction of Lang Zhongling.

"The imperial store is of great importance, and the courtesans are still arguing over it. From my point of view, we will set up a business department, with two prime ministers under it, and order Yingluo to be the business order. The annual salary is [-] shi, which is independent of the nine ministers."

"It's the same as the Black Ice Terrace, enjoys exclusive power, and is only responsible to me. The rest of the ministries are not allowed to interfere. What do you love?"

Ying Zheng looked serious and looked at the crowd. Although there was a questioning intent in his words, the tone could not be refused.

All the ministers were stunned for a moment, their eyes widened, as if they were dumb and couldn't tell if they were suffering from Coptis chinensis.

They had been arguing about their feelings for a long time, and it was all a joke.

His Majesty has no intention of letting them get involved in the imperial shops at all, and the reason for doing so is just to block everyone's way out.

"There is only one imperial store, and all the lovers want to put it under my subordinates. I am really in a dilemma. In order to take care of the overall situation and the harmony of all the ministers, I have to make such a bad plan. You should be able to understand my painstaking efforts, right?"

Ying Zheng looked at the silent courtiers and said meaningfully.

The hearts of the people below were twitched, and they suddenly realized.

His Majesty's holy will has been decided, although I still think about it in my heart, do I dare to say no?

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers and others respectfully abide by His Majesty's holy words."

Everyone's words were insincere, so they could only admit it by pinching their noses.

"Sir, thank you for taking the decree, and I will live up to your majesty's trust."

Ying Luo also hurriedly bowed and bowed.

He had waited too long for this day, and His Majesty finally entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

Although their family is relatives of the emperor, but they are closely supported by the imperial court, although they live a decent life.

But after all, it is difficult to enter the elegant hall, and coupled with His Majesty's new policy, the fields of the world are collected and returned to the people, and the good life of these royal relatives is even more difficult.

If you don't cut down on food and clothing and save money, there will always be times when some of the wealth passed down by the ancestors will be emptied.

The imperial court's favored salary is never judged by blood, but only by meritorious service.

After a few generations, Yingluo is not strictly a direct lineage, but only a collateral lineage.

If a few more generations pass, and there are no outstanding figures from their lineage who make some meritorious service, I'm afraid that the salary supported by the imperial court will almost be cut off.

Yingluo can be said to be the hope of the entire family. Everyone hopes that he can contribute to the country and share the worries of His Majesty, so that the family can continue to prosper.

In the 600-year-old Qin Dynasty, how many descendants of the Ying family were there?

If all the relatives of the emperor were to be supported by the imperial court, I am afraid that this astronomical expenditure would be enough to crush any powerful empire.

According to the law, the royal family Fuze VII will die, and the Zezhu will not shelter the concubine.

It's as if all the sons of His Majesty can get more or less entrusted titles, but the grandson of His Majesty, if he is not a direct son to inherit his father's business, can only get the imperial court's salary.

And when the great-grandson's pension will be reduced from generation to generation, until the seventh generation is still a grandson.

"The first rule has been settled, so let's talk about the second rule, dear friends!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, everyone returned to their places, and then asked.

"Your Majesty, I think that since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for the people. If there is no food to eat, no clothes to cover their bodies, no shelter to live in, and no rest, how can they reproduce?"

"Your Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy, with a heart for the common people in the world. He works hard to govern and save the broken mountains and rivers. As long as the court officials are clear and bright, and the monarchs and ministers are united as one, within a hundred years, the population of Daqin will definitely enter a period of steady growth."

"500 years of war, the world has been war-weary for a long time. Your Majesty's rule of the world is the will of God and the will of the people. His Majesty's series of new policies are all good strategies for raising the people. Step by step, in time, the people will be rich. There is no need to ask for swords."

An admonishing doctor about half a century old stood up and talked endlessly to Ying Zheng.

Everyone nodded in unison when they heard the words, fully agreeing with this point of view.

There are also some who don't completely agree with it, but this rhetoric is indeed irrefutable, so let's wait and see.

Ying Zheng looked at the advising doctor, his expression was neither happy nor sad, and no one could see the slightest change.

Then he glanced around again, looking at all the civil and military ministers.

When everyone saw His Majesty's gaze, they all lowered their heads and lowered their eyes in unison, not daring to look directly into His Majesty's eyes to show their respect.

"A hundred years is too long!"

Ying Zheng looked away, and suddenly sighed.

Everyone was shocked, His Majesty hated life and death the most in his life.

Especially in recent years, His Majesty's health has been deteriorating, and no one dared to speak of life or death.

The admonishing doctor's expression changed drastically immediately, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, I have no such intention!"

The advising doctor directly knelt down, his heart fluttered, and he said in panic.

After these words fell, the hall was completely silent, terrifyingly quiet.

Many people broke into a cold sweat for this doctor who sings praises and doesn't have a long memory!

There are still some people who sneer in their hearts and flatter His Majesty?

Gee!

It's boring now!

Should……

The reason why the throne is high is that sitting on it can clearly see the faces of all the beings below.

Many people's expressions were naturally seen by Ying Zheng, and he was thoughtful.

If the king only knows how to bestow grace, but does not know how to exert power, it will only make his subjects arrogant and rebellious.

If the king only knows how to show power, but does not know how to show kindness, it will only make his subjects cautious in their words and deeds.

The combination of kindness and power, the art of scheming, is difficult to be elegant, and it is done deliberately, but it will only increase the jokes.

How many of those who can make it to the temple are idiots?

Grace in form, power in power, joy and anger in heart, not in appearance, every word and deed is grace and power.

The anger of the emperor, the color of the mountains and rivers faded...

Emperor Yue, Sun Moon Yonghui...

Looking at the silenced officials, Ying Zheng stood up slowly with a calm expression on his face.

His tall and stalwart figure can give people a sense of self-prestige without anger, like the weight of Mount Tai.

click...

Ying Zheng stepped down from the high throne, his face was expressionless, and every step seemed to be full of rhythm, beating everyone's hearts.

The admonishing doctor, who was kneeling in fear, heard His Majesty's footsteps gradually approaching, and his heart was completely raised in his throat.

Until he saw His Majesty's big feet standing in front of his eyes, he buried his head even more deeply, as if his body was crushed by a thousand weights, his breathing began to weaken.

With a serious face, Ying Zheng looked at the trembling doctor at his feet and suddenly smiled, and bent down to help the doctor at his feet up.

Looking at the dazed and hesitant advising doctor, Ying Zheng smiled and said: "I know there are many rumors in the market, saying that ministers hate life and death, and they like good words. However, rumors are just rumors after all, and cannot be taken as true."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although His Majesty just said a word lightly, it undoubtedly relieved everyone's pressure.

Especially the admonishing doctor who was over half a century old had a deeper intuitive feeling of passing by the gate of hell.

Ying Zheng waved his hand at the admonishing doctor, who was initially in shock, and said, "Aiqing, step back for now!"
