The matter of Ying Ziye inviting all the officials to a banquet was quickly passed down.
The officials were all shocked.
Why was he inviting all the officials to a banquet?
Generally speaking.
Unless it was the birthday of the emperor or the empress.
Or maybe he won a great battle.
That's why he invited all the officials.
Now.
Without any reason, Ying Ziye wanted to invite all the officials.
He also ordered every official to bring their wives along.
This was absolutely unprecedented!
The officials gathered together and discussed.
"Why do I feel a little flustered when the Crown Prince is inviting all the officials?”
"I heard that the Crown Prince is short of money, so he wants the officials to raise some money, so he invited them!”
"It can't be, right? This official is very incorruptible and has clean sleeves. I might have to disappoint the Crown Prince!”
"That's right…Although I'm not completely destitute, I really can't fork out a single cent!”
"I have been an official for many years and have dedicated myself to the country and the people.”
"Prime Minister Li, what do you think we should do?”
"That's right…Prime Minister Li, we're all honest officials and don't have any extra silver. The Crown Prince won't force us to donate, right?”
These officials were also very worried.
Actually!
Not to mention the crown prince, even the emperor would have times when he was poor.
What if he had no money?
If he killed one or two corrupt officials and directly raided their houses, wouldn't the money come?
To the emperor.
This was called nurturing an army for a thousand days to use it for a moment!
However, to the officials, whoever encountered such an unfortunate thing would not even have the chance to resist.
in the Imperial Court.
Who could guarantee that they had not made any mistakes?
It could be said that he really wanted to be calculative.
Not many people's butts were clean!
This was the main reason why the officials were worried.
"I don't think everyone needs to worry. Although the Crown Prince is decisive in killing, I don't think he will act rashly. However, since he invited all the officials, I think everyone should prepare a gift for the Crown Prince!”
Li Si suggested.
The officials nodded in praise.
No matter what the reason was, he invited all the officials.
In any case.
There was nothing wrong with spending money to eliminate disasters!
……
At the same time.
First Emperor Ying Zheng, who had been cultivating in seclusion, was about to eat again.
Now.
Other than being interested in Immortal Cultivation, Ying Zheng was also interested in cultivating.
What he looked forward to the most was to hear Zhang Han talk about Ying Ziye's interesting stories during the meal.
Ying Zheng, who had just finished his cultivation.
He sat on the dragon throne.
Looking at the table full of vegetarian dishes, he did not make a move.
It was…
He picked up the white wine on the table and poured himself a drink.
Ever since he drank the white wine brewed by Ying Ziye.
He did not care about other wines at all.
Ying Ziye brewed white wine for every meal.
He took a sip of the white wine.
After feeling the burning sensation of the white wine in his mouth.
"What interesting things happened at midnight recently?" asked Ying Zheng slowly.”
" Your Majesty," Zhang Han said hesitantly," the Crown Prince and General Meng Tian have been very close recently!"”
Zhang Han paid close attention to Ying Zheng's expression.
He seemed to be afraid of Ying Zheng's wrath.
After all.
Meng Tian was the Great General. If she got too close to the Crown Prince, it would not be a good thing.
" Meng Tian is a Great General," Ying Zheng said with a faint smile." She has been given an important position by the Crown Prince. This is nothing!"”
Zhang Han said," This... doesn't seem to be an important position. It is said that the Crown Prince has selected 3,000 elite soldiers from various counties and built a drill ground outside Xianyang City. He asked General Meng Tian to train these soldiers!”
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Zhang Han immediately knelt down and said,"Your Majesty, please calm down!"”
The Crown Prince's training of private soldiers was not a joke. If it was taken to the extreme, it could be labeled as a rebellion.
Therefore…
Zhang Han was afraid that Ying Zheng would get angry.
Who would have thought?
Instead of getting angry, Ying Zheng laughed and said,""Three thousand elite soldiers? There weren't many of them. What was the purpose of Midnight training 3,000 elite soldiers?”
"I don't know either!" Zhang Han said.
"Have you investigated the training of these soldiers?" asked Ying Zheng.”
Zhang Han shook his head." The drill ground that the Crown Prince built is completely sealed. Outsiders can't enter at all, nor can they investigate the situation inside!"”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and continued asking,""Yes, other than this, is there anything else?”
Zhang Han directly told him about Ying Ziye's invention of the curved plow and waterwheel.
Tell Ying Zheng everything.
Ying Zheng listened.
He was instantly shocked.
Last time, when Ying Ziye took out 5,000 catties of potatoes per mu, he thought that the people of the world would be able to solve the famine problem within at least five years.
The reason why it felt like such a long time.
This was the reason.
Reclamation required a lot of manpower and resources.
Unexpectedly.
Ying Ziye actually directly solved this problem.
Ying Zheng was shocked.
" What?!"
"The curved shaft plow has replaced the straight shaft plow, from two oxen and three people to one ox and one person?”
"Automatic irrigation? Completely saving the manpower needed to irrigate the fields?”
"Oh my god…"
"This is simply a masterpiece!”
"This is the blessing of the people of the world!"
"Ziye's merit is boundless!”
"If Great Qin's people can eat their fill and have food reserves, they can pay taxes!”
"Then the country will be rich and powerful!"
"I didn't expect Ziye to have such ability and talent. This skill is earth-shaking!”
Ying Zheng did not spare any words of praise.
Zhang Han also agreed with Ying Zheng's words.
They thought that Ying Ziye's invention of the curved plow and waterwheel was definitely a matter of attacking Qianqiu.
" Indeed," Zhang Han said with a smile." The Crown Prince's merits are boundless. However, he seems to have encountered a problem recently!"”
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up." That's strange," he said with a smile." With Ziye's shrewdness, how could he encounter such a difficult problem?"”
"The Crown Prince…is short of money!" said Zhang Han.! That's why he wants to invite all the officials!"
