"Your Majesty, this old minister thinks that Young Master's words are acceptable.”
When Feng Quji heard this, he immediately said," I agree.”
That's right, if the merchants were only in Xianyang, it would only be open to the rich and powerful.
In this way, wouldn't the superiority of the nobles be even more prominent?
The difference between a noble and an ordinary person was how superior they were!
Zhao Long's suggestion was naturally what they wanted!
However, little did they know that Zhao Long was only using them temporarily.
Zhao Long clearly understood that his words and actions would naturally attract the favor of these nobles!
The reason he did this was to reduce the resistance to his development.
If he did not have any major conflicts with the nobles in the court, he would naturally be able to develop more smoothly!
Humans had to live smarter.
"Your Majesty, this…"
Li Si, on the other hand, was a little conflicted. He frowned and said," I have something to say."”
"Prime Minister Li, please speak."
"Yes."
Li Si bowed." Your Majesty, I believe that Young Master's ban on business is meaningless. Moreover, it might do more harm than good.”
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately asked," But why?”
"Your Majesty."
Li Si said," This subject believes that the imperial court has always been very strict with business. The taxes are extremely heavy. And how much more food could the imperial court gain by forbidding business? "Moreover, the merchants are the last ones, but they are bartering everywhere to satisfy the needs of the people. This is to resolve the conflict between the needs of the people…It's enough to suppress them. If they are completely cut off, I'm afraid that the people will be even more trapped and might not be able to live in peace…"
Huh?
Zhao Long was delighted to hear that.
Li Si was indeed Li Si. His analysis was indeed thorough.
Indeed, the imperial court could suppress merchants to prevent them from expanding and amassing too much wealth.
However, if you completely cut it off, it would really be detrimental to the people…
After all, if there was a need, what should he do?
"Father."
Zhao Long said," Your son, please speak to Minister Li.”
"Hehe, alright…"
Ying Zheng nodded with a smile.
Who knew what my son was going to say.
Today, for my son to have such words and actions, he really shocked everyone. He thought he was a celestial!
This was something that Fu Su could not compare to!
This one brought this son to the imperial court. It was really the right choice!
? Look, all of the officials were craning their necks, waiting for Zhao Long to say something.
"Thank you, father."
Zhao Long smiled and walked toward Li Si under everyone's expectant gaze.
And then…
He whispered a few words into her ear…
Huh?
？？？？？
Seeing this scene, the officials 'faces instantly darkened.
What was this?
In the royal court, you actually whispered in front of everyone?
Ying Zheng was also dumbfounded…
He had never expected Zhao Long to make such a move.
In front of me, in front of all the officials, you only whispered to Li Si?
"Minister Li, how is it?"
Zhao Long looked at Li Si with a strange smile.
"This…"
At that moment, Li Si's expression was filled with shock.
"Good, good!"
He turned to look at Ying Zheng, bowed and said," Your Majesty, I have no objections, and I support the ban on all merchants outside of Xianyang! However, please give the people a month to buy it.”
"Imperial Father, your son has the same intention.”
What?
What did you say?
You don't object?
Hearing Li Si's sudden change, Ying Zheng and his ministers were all shocked!
What did Zhao Long say to Li Si?
Li Si actually did a 180-degree change in attitude?
"Thank you, Minister Li, for your wisdom."
Zhao Long smiled and said to Ying Zheng," Father, I'm fine now.”
You, are fine, but I'm so confused…
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. He had a thought in his heart, and then said," In that case, let's draw up an edict, ordering that no merchants are allowed to pass through any place except Xianyang. This order will be officially implemented in a month's time.”
"Thank you, Imperial Father!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The officials nodded and agreed.
"Dear ministers, is there anything else?”
Ying Zheng then turned to look at the ministers, who looked at each other, but no one stepped out.
"Alright, since that's the case, retreat."
Ying Zheng flung his sleeves and said," Oh, right, Young Master Zhao Long, and Left Prime Minister Li Si, you guys stay behind.”
"Yes!"
"We will take our leave."
"We accept your orders."
All the officials looked at Zhao Long and left with doubts in their hearts.
Only then did Ying Zheng ask Zhao Long," What were you talking about with Minister Li just now?”
