The next day!
The Grand Court Assembly was convened!
The Grand Court Conference was an extremely important meeting. In theory, all the officials in Xianyang had to be present!
Including the prince!
Xia Qi naturally did not participate in the court meeting. He was still woken up by Fu Su early in the morning to wait in the court.
Although the sky had yet to brighten, the Imperial Court was already crowded with people. The officials who were familiar with them were also whispering to each other to discuss current affairs.
"Your Majesty has arrived! Silence!"
Accompanied by a deep voice, the originally noisy court instantly fell silent. The officials bowed and saluted!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The dignified Brother Zheng sat down and waved his hand to signal the officials to stand up!
The Grand Court Assembly was convened!
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
The first step of the court meeting was to ask if there was anything else.
Of course, before the Grand Court Meeting was held, everyone knew why it was held. For example, this time, it was held to discuss the Xiongnu issue. When Brother Zheng spoke, someone stood up and bowed.
"I have something to report!"
Xia Qi couldn't recognize who the person who stood up was. It was most likely a nameless small character. Usually, the first question of a grand court meeting was to throw out a brick to attract jade. The big shots wouldn't come down at this time.
However, the first question was often more crucial. Generally speaking, the first question of a Grand Court Meeting was the core question of the day!
"This person is the Prefectural Governor of Longxi County, Li Yao!”Young Master whispered to Xia Qi who had stepped forward.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Xiongnu on the grasslands exterminated the miscellaneous Hu and drove away the Yue clan, unifying the grasslands. Anyone who can draw a bow and mount a horse is called the Xiongnu! Now, the Xiongnu's wings were growing! Since ten years ago, they had repeatedly invaded the border of the Great Qin Dynasty, and many of the people of Longxi had been harmed by them!”
Although the governor of Longxi Prefecture was only stating the problem, it was clear that he was gritting his teeth. When had the old Qin people ever suffered such grievances?
Even when the old Qin people almost perished, they were the only ones who bullied the barbarians. There was no reason for the barbarians to bully them!
"The ministers?" Brother Zheng nodded after hearing that!
"Your Majesty! I request to fight!" A middle-aged figure stood up!
"This is Meng Tian!" Young Master Gao was helping Xia Qi to make notes one by one!
Following Meng Tian's fate, all the officials in the court requested to fight!
Great Qin was based on the system of military merits, so objectively speaking, everyone in Great Qin was on the pro-war side.
At this moment, facing the Xiongnu, everyone in the imperial court was speaking the same thing, requesting to fight!
This made Xia Qi a little speechless!
In other eras, no matter how politically-correct they were, there would definitely be brainless people who would jump out and say that war was a waste of money and manpower!
In the end, it was still the scholarly faction's fault!
However, judging from the unity within Great Qin, it was not unreasonable for the six countries to be destroyed!
When Xia Qi was doing business, which of the Six Nations did not have internal conflicts? However, it was not that Great Qin did not have internal conflicts, but when it came to strategic issues, almost no one would jump out and say that they were the villains. In terms of unity, it was only natural that the Six Nations had lost!
The court's desire to fight didn't waver Brother Zheng. He knew that the people in the court would definitely be furious! Brother Zheng also wanted to hit his mother!
But war was not a battle of emotions!
Brother Zheng looked at Wang Jian and said in a low voice,"Tell me!"
Wang Jian lowered his head and accepted the order!
Do you want to fight this war? Wang Jian definitely wanted to fight!
The six kingdoms had been destroyed. If the Qin people wanted to make contributions, they could only consider attacking the barbarians!
Although Wang Jian's contributions were already sufficient, wasn't there also a group of people under him who wanted to stand out?
Of course, Wang Jian understood Great Qin's difficulties.
But there was still Young Master!
Great Qin lacked money, but the Prince he had captured had money!
Wasn't the Prince's money Great Qin's money?
Wang Jian had been eyeing this point since that day.
Of course, Wang Jian was very smart. He definitely would not shamelessly say it out loud.
He didn't even say if he was going to fight or not!
Wang Jian simply analyzed a few problems.
One, the threat that the Xiongnu would pose to Great Qin after unifying the country!
Second, how should the ecology of the areas devastated by the Xiongnu be restored?
Third, the anger in the hearts of the old Qin people at the border!
Although he didn't say anything about fighting, every word he said revealed his fighting spirit!
His words were nothing more than a sentence!
The Xiongnu bastards were too arrogant. The old Qin people at the border were very angry!
F * ck him!
Money was always up to His Majesty, wasn't it?
As long as His Majesty's decision was made, how could using his son's money be called borrowing?
After all, this was the emperor's private matter. Wang Jian was a person who knew his limits. It was impossible for him to say blankly, Your Majesty, Young Master Xia Qi has money. Use his money to fight a war!
Xia Qi was confused, but it didn't stop him from hearing a core problem.
Great Qin seemed to have run out of money!
"Iron smelting! Salt!"
Xia Qi frowned slightly!
If these two projects were handed over at this juncture, it should be considered as sending charcoal in the snow!
Xia Qi knew that salt and iron had always been monopolized by the royal family and controlled by the government!
With these two things in his hands, even if he had the identity of a prince, he would sooner or later be attacked by the masses!
This was the lifeline of a country. Other than the monarch, he could not let anyone else do it!
This thing was like a nuclear bomb!
Whether it was a private person or a company, if you had a nuclear bomb in your hand, they would be eager to kill you!
Xia Qi was also a shrewd person. That old fogey Wang Jian was just short of saying that Xia Qi was rich and used his, Xia Qi's, money. How could he not hear it?
Otherwise, given Wang Jian's intelligence and understanding of Big Brother Zheng's thoughts and Great Qin's finances, he would definitely not have said anything about fighting.
Although he had long decided to let go of salt and iron, this did not prevent Xia Qi from recording Wang Jian in his small notebook!
"Old fogey tricked me!"
