"Imperial Father summoned you?"
Ying Ziye, who was preparing to sleep for a while longer, felt quite puzzled.
His cheap father had given his permission to not attend court today. Why did he go back on his word now?
"Yes, I am!"
"Things are tense. Let's talk on the way!”
Meng Yi did not give him any explanation. After putting on his clothes, he pulled him into the carriage outside the door.
Ba Qing, who was about to listen to the rest of the story, stood in the bedroom. He did not know whether to leave or stay.
In the end, she simply stayed in the Crown Prince's residence and continued to wait.
She was quite business-minded, so she realized that this was a good way to make a lot of money.
The quality was pure, and the cost was lower than sea salt!
Then wouldn't they be able to replace it with sea salt once it entered the market?
Salt was different from paper. It was a consumable that had to be eaten every day.
Even if the profit was low, he could still be rich!
This was also why Great Qin's salt merchants were so wealthy!
Therefore, if he could get this big business, why not wait a few hours?
……
" Your Highness the Crown Prince is here…!"
Outside Xianyang Palace, the eunuchs on duty started singing loudly when they saw Ying Ziye.
His voice was loud enough to echo throughout the entire court.
In an instant, all the officials who heard his shout became nervous.
They had been arrogantly advising the First Emperor just a moment ago, but now, they all lowered their heads respectfully and waited for the Crown Prince to arrive!
"This bunch of old things!"
"Humph!"
Seeing that all the ministers were trembling in fear after hearing his son's arrival, Ying Zheng was furious.
Perhaps the Crown Prince was right, he was too merciful!
That was why these civil and military officials were lazy and lazy in governing, not taking his orders seriously!
However, if the Crown Prince could intimidate the officials and manage the court affairs for him, it would be a good thing!
Ever since he ascended the throne, he would attend the morning court session every day before dawn.
In order to read memorials, most of the time, the rooster crowed before resting.
All these years, the concubines had not given birth to any more children. Everyone thought that he was old, so he could not make the concubines pregnant.
Little did he know!
He had never had the chance to visit those concubines. If he could give birth to children without visiting them, that would be strange!
The reason why he didn't visit her again wasn't because he couldn't do that.
He was too busy!
Every day, after approving the memorials, he would fall asleep and wake up before dawn to attend the morning court!
He simply did not have the energy and time to visit the concubines in the harem!
However, ever since the Crown Prince took charge of the government for him, he experienced the joy of fishing and water that he had not experienced for a long time.
Therefore, if the Crown Prince could command the officials and handle all kinds of complicated court politics, he would be more than happy to do so!
The reason why he was so superstitious about necromancers and pursued immortality was because Great Qin had no successor!
Fu Su was pedantic, and it would be difficult for him to control these old foxes!
Huhai looked smart, but he always wanted to take advantage of the situation, so he couldn't take on the responsibility!
As for the other princes, it was even more difficult for them to enter his eyes!
Now, he finally had a good seedling. If he could take on the heavy responsibility, he could play the game of human reproduction with the concubines in the harem every day!
Wasn't it fragrant to warm the bed with a concubine's bed?
"This subordinate greets Your Highness!"
"This subordinate greets Your Highness!"
Just as he was indulging in his fantasies, Ying Ziye walked into the court.
Wherever he passed, the ministers who had been trying to impeach him bowed.
"Ye 'er, I know you're tired, but there are some difficult problems that need to be discussed in court today!”
"You can go back and rest after the court session!”
Before the Crown Prince could greet him, Ying Zheng opened his mouth with a slightly guilty expression.
He had promised his son that he would not attend the morning court session today, but he had gone back on his word.
There was no other way. The situation that the ministers were talking about today was indeed possible. To prevent any accidents, he could only call his son over.
One was to intimidate the ministers!
In addition, with his son's intelligence, these difficult problems might be easily solved!
"Thank you, Imperial Father!"
Ying Ziye cupped his hands and thanked him. Then, he stood in front of the dragon table and looked down at the ministers below.
As he looked down, the ministers lowered their heads like children who had done something wrong, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Tell the Crown Prince what the beloved ministers have said!”
Ying Zheng cleared his throat and issued the decree in a clear voice.
"This…?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials panicked.
If he repeated it, the Crown Prince would definitely be able to tell that it was directed at him!
If they did not repeat it, they would be disobeying the imperial edict!
All of a sudden, the ministers looked at each other in fear.
At this moment, their intestines were almost green with regret. If they had known this would happen, they would not have said anything just now!
Now, if he angered the Crown Prince, the lives of his entire family would be in danger.
"Humph!"
Li Si could not help but harrumph coldly when he saw how flustered they were.
Then, he crossed his arms and looked up at the sky, watching the joke calmly.
Who asked this group of pig-like teammates to complain without any reason? Now, they had called Prince over.
No one would have a good life in the future!
"What's wrong?"
"Do you want me to speak for you?”
Looking at the chaos below, not a single minister dared to stand up and repeat the story, Ying Zheng could not help but frown.
"Let this old minister speak first!"
Seeing that no one spoke first, Imperial Censor Feng Quji could only brace himself and step forward.
Previously, he was the first one to remonstrate. Now, he could only take the lead.
At this moment, he only hoped that the heavens would bless him and not make the Crown Prince angry!
Otherwise, his entire family's lives would be in danger!
"Ever since the crown prince issued the tax reform and the decree to divide the land, the treasury has received nearly 30 million taels of gold!”
"If we add in the other properties and treasures that were collected, it would be about 50 million!”
"Such a wise decision not only solved the urgent needs of the Imperial Court, but also quelled the resentment of the people!”
Feng Quji thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and spoke respectfully.
Hmm?
This old man!
Wasn't that what you said just now?
Hearing what he said, Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, widened his eyes.
This old fellow actually dared to change his words in front of everyone?
Wasn't this too bold?
"However, although the decree is good, there will always be a day when the imperial court will be empty!”
"Now that the heavy taxes such as oral taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been abolished, what should we do when the taxes collected are used up?”
"The supplies and wages of the army, the construction of the Great Wall, and the construction of Epang Palace all require a large amount of money!”
"In addition, once the miscellaneous taxes are abolished, the local government will have no income and will need the imperial court's treasury to allocate operating funds!”
"The Imperial Court has expended a lot of resources. Your Highness, please make plans as soon as possible to prevent the treasury from drying up again!”
Just as Ying Zheng was silently cursing, Feng Quji continued.
"This old fox!"
"The same thing can actually have two completely different effects?”
After hearing his words, Ying Zheng's anger gradually subsided.
Fortunately, this old fellow did not overturn his previous advice. Otherwise, he would definitely be punished for deceiving the emperor today!
