When Zhang Liang brought the servants of the imperial kitchen back to Hanqing Palace with food boxes, he found the atmosphere a little strange.
But he didn't think too much about it and just quietly sat beside Ying Zi Xuan.
Dun Ruo instructed the servants to serve the smoothies one by one.
Fresh fruit juice squeezed out of fresh fruits, seasoned with pure honey.
There was still fresh milk mixed in the crushed ice.
When the imperial kitchen made a move, regardless of color or appearance, it was definitely the best.
Ying Zi Xuan looked at the ice shavings placed in front of him, without the slightest intention of being polite.
He picked up a bowl and started to move his hands.
Ying Zheng picked a bowl, and let Dun Ruo taste a little of it. After that, he tested it with a silver needle, and then began to eat.
The crispy and cool smoothie entered his mouth with a chill. Some of the quick-breaking ice could even be chewed twice.
It made a crisp popping sound in its mouth.
A sweet taste exploded in his mouth.
At the same time, as the ice sand entered his stomach, it quickly lowered the core temperature of his body, causing him to involuntarily shiver.
Eating such a thing in the dog days, just one bite was enough to make people feel that it was difficult to part with it.
No wonder this kid's bookstore didn't sell many books, but he made money every day.
"After you're done eating, go and do your own things."
Ying Zheng also knew that Ying Zixuan had been very busy recently, so he did not have any intention of asking him to stay.
After all, they were no longer children.
Everyone had their own things to do.
"Imperial Father, about the gathering of necromancers that your son told you about last time, do you think you can give your son some financial support? Your son plans to build a new laboratory in the suburbs. Well, it's about the recent money…"
After hearing that Ying Zheng wanted to chase them away, Ying Zixuan told them his other purpose.
Ever since he received Ying Zheng's permission, Zhang Liang had caught quite a number of necromancers during this period of time.
But when these necromancers gathered, another problem arose.
These guys burned this and that all day long.
All kinds of toxic gases were mixed together. It was simply a disaster in a densely populated place like the city.
Therefore, the matter of moving the experimental area away from the crowd was now extremely urgent.
"You want money from me? Your mineral salt business isn't profitable? Doesn't the bookstore make money? These two voices are making money every day. You still lack money?”
Hearing that Ying Zixuan was still asking for money, Ying Zheng frowned.
It wasn't that he didn't want to give it to him, but he was just curious where all the money he earned went.
"Imperial Father, you've wronged me! Although the cost of mineral salt is very low, I've also lowered the profit to the minimum! "Although it's indeed very profitable because of its characteristics, I only deducted some of the money at the beginning. The rest went into the national treasury!”
"The bookstore has only opened for business not long ago, and the academy has thousands of mouths to feed. Although my work is very profitable, I don't have money myself!”
The money for salt was all in the national treasury?
I really haven't paid attention to this problem.
Ying Zheng turned to look at Fu Su.
When Fu Su saw him looking over, he hurriedly bowed and explained.
"Imperial Father, Sixth Brother's words are indeed true. Because mineral salt is used to benefit the people, the price is very low. Although there was profit, it was definitely not that high. As for the profits collected, other than the wages of all the workers working in the Salt Department and the maintenance of some salt mining equipment, the rest of the money was handed over to the national treasury every seven days.”
Ying Zheng nodded after hearing Fu Su's words.
It could also be considered as agreeing to Ying Zi Xuan's request.
However, he couldn't give the money for nothing.
"I can give you the money, but you have to tell me about the problem of Pengfei County refugees. If I hand over the country to you now, what will you do?”
What would you do if I gave you the task of supervising the country?
When Ying Zi Xuan heard the word 'kingdom', his first reaction was to look at Ying Zheng with a frown.
"Imperial Father, are you thinking of going out for a tour again? You've only been back for a few days, and you're already going out?”
Are you addicted to traveling?
Moreover, there's a war at the border now. Is it really appropriate for you to go out and patrol at this time?
"This is called setting up. Do you know what setting up is?”
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at Ying Zixuan in annoyance.
But then, he suddenly realized that it was a little too biased for him to just ask him.
Then, he turned to look at Huhai and Fu Su.
"The two of you shouldn't be idle. If I let you manage the country, how will you deal with this matter?”
Dealing with refugees was a very troublesome problem.
Once they became refugees, it meant that their origin became a problem. Did they have land in the past, were they slaves, and did they violate the laws of Qin?
These were all problems.
According to the statistics, the number of refugees had exceeded 10,000.
This level of workload would probably require several times more manpower to handle.
If he wanted to make it simpler, he could only treat these people as slaves.
But...
Among these people, many of them were from families that had previously produced Qin Rui's soldiers. If they were all counted as slaves, it would probably chill the hearts of the soldiers.
This was a big taboo.
"Fu Su, you are the eldest brother, so you should speak first. If you were to govern the country, how would you deal with these refugees?”
Ying Zheng looked at Fu Su, who had been somewhat neglected by him recently, and wanted to see the changes in him after he had been hanging out with Ying Zixuan recently.
Fu Su looked at Ying Zheng, and then at Ying Zixuan, and began to think seriously.
In the end, he frowned and probed.
"Imperial Father, if I were to supervise the country, I would probably transfer food from the national treasury to help the disaster and temporarily stabilize the disaster so that the number of refugees would not increase. Then, I would arrange for people to send these refugees back to their respective counties. Pacify them again."
That was all Fu Su could think of.
Moreover, this was what Feng Quji and some of his guest aides had taught him when he was in charge of the country.
After hearing Fu Su's idea, Ying Zheng's face remained expressionless.
No one could tell if he was satisfied or dissatisfied.
After that, his gaze turned towards Ying Zi Xuan.
"Huhai, tell me, if I let you manage the country, how would you deal with it?”
"What? me. Should I say it?"
When Huhai saw Ying Zheng looking at Ying Zixuan, he thought Ying Zixuan would speak first.
He had even thought it through. After Ying Zi Xuan finished speaking, he would slightly change his words.
He wanted to use this to increase his sense of existence.
However, he did not expect Ying Zheng to not play by the rules.
Looking at Ying Zi Xuan, she called out his name.
Huhai was a little confused.
"Uh... Father, your son has never supervised a country. This kind of... In this kind of situation, your son temporarily does not have any good ideas. If your son manages the country, uh…Your son will listen to the opinions of the officials and then deal with them as appropriate.”
After thinking for a long time, Huhai could only come up with an answer that could not be considered an answer.
However, this was already his limit.
It was already considered that he was smart enough not to kill them all.
"If it were you, what would you do?”
Ying Zheng seemed to have already guessed Huhai's answer, as he turned to Ying Zixuan without any pause.
It was as if Huhai was just going through the motions.
This made Huhai extremely furious, but he didn't dare to show it.
"If I was still supervising the country, I would have the Jinyiwei quietly go to Pengzhong County and assassinate all the officials, big and small, who were problematic. Then, he changed the county governor to Cao Can and borrowed troops from Meng Tian or Wang Jian. He let Li Xin lead the troops to protect Cao Can and began to clean up Pengzhong County. Anyone who catches evidence of the crime will be exterminated."
"Then, we will take the food that they have obtained and appease the refugees. The fertile land that we have obtained will be taken over by Great Qin, and we will use the grain that we have obtained as rent to the people.”
"This trip saved me money and food in the national treasury, and I had an excuse to completely control a grain-producing county. It was a win-win situation.”
...
Three sentences without a single word.
This is really something you can do!
