Puff...
Hearing this, Ying Zheng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lacking money?
Banquet for all officials?
This inevitably reminded Ying Zheng of the things he had done in the past.
In recent years, Ying Zheng had been building the imperial mausoleum and going out to sea to search for immortals.
He had spent countless funds.
Having no money was a common occurrence.
The national treasury could not be used all the time.
Then what should he do?
They could only kill a few corrupt officials to worship the heavens and confiscate their property to earn money.
However!
Ying Zheng would not invite all the officials to a banquet. He could just find a reason to behead the corrupt officials.
After all.
The entire Great Qin still needed the officials to come up with plans.
He couldn't kill too many.
However, Ying Ziye's entire banquet had scared him a bit.
Although Ying Ziye looked harmless on the surface, when it came to killing people, he wouldn't show any mercy.
"Ziye…is he trying to kill us all?”
Ying Zheng suddenly felt that the food in his hands was no longer fragrant!
Ying Ziye was really going to wipe them all out.
How much money would that earn!
But…
This really wasn't about money.
If you kill too many officials.
What about Great Qin?
There were so many departments, who would be in charge?
"The Crown Prince wouldn't do that, right?”
Zhang Han also felt his scalp go numb!
Their eyes met.
He really couldn't figure it out.
What did Ying Ziye want to do by inviting all the officials at this time?
……
A day passed.
All the officials were panicking!
Some of the officials were racking their brains to prepare gifts. They wanted to spend money to avoid disaster!
Some of the officials went around asking for information, wanting to make preparations in advance!
In fact…
There were also some corrupt officials with poor mental endurance who were already making arrangements for their funeral.
And the initiator of all this was Ying Ziye.
He went to the imperial kitchen to fiddle with it.
With the arrival of Ying Ziye.
The imperial kitchen was in chaos.
"Heavens, Your Highness, how could you do such a thing?”
"Aiyaya, my Crown Prince, what do you want to eat? Just let our imperial kitchen prepare it. Why do you have to do it yourself?”
"Be careful, this kitchen knife is sharp. Don't hurt your fingers!”
"If you were injured, we would all be cut into pieces!”
"We all deserve to die!"
"How can we let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enter such a lowly place?”
Ying Ziye was fiddling with an iron pot in front of the stove.
In Great Qin.
There was no concept of cooking.
The cooking utensils used were even bronze cauldrons!
The surrounding cooks all curiously looked at Ying Ziye fiddling with it, afraid that Ying Ziye would hurt himself.
Secondly.
He was just curious that it was in Ying Ziye's hands.
Tossing and turning up and down the iron pot!
In the pre-Qin period, there were not many choices for food!
Other than the lack of resources and low productivity, there were many other reasons related to politics and religion!
As a result, a lot of food was not eaten!
The people of Qin, from the commoners to the nobles of the palace, had a relatively monotonous diet!
The only difference was that rich people could get more meat resources!
The poor could only rely on staple food and vegetables.
However! Even the nobles could eat aquatic products and beasts!
It couldn't even handle the fishy smell of meat!
The taste was obvious.
This time, Ying Ziye directly introduced the iron pot and taught these imperial chefs the concept of cooking.
In addition to the refined salt he had concocted.
This whetted the appetite of the officials.
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people!
This was an unchanging principle.
Ying Ziye believed that whether it was frying pan or refined salt, it was enough to make the officials spend a lot of money!
……
After leaving the imperial kitchen.
Ying Ziye was distressed!
Ying Ziye could handle the officials, but this time, he also invited the family members of the officials.
As the saying goes.
Women's money was the easiest to earn.
Because…
No matter what era it was, no matter what skin color it was, it was a woman's nature to love beauty.
Especially in this era where men were superior to women and polygamy.
It was even more so.
In order to get a man's favor.
The wives of those high-ranking officials and nobles were more willing to dress themselves up.
Just as he was thinking.
Ying Ziye suddenly saw a gorgeous woman walking towards him.
The woman was fair and beautiful.
She looked shy and cute.
This woman was Wang Wan 'er!
She was Wang Ben's daughter and General Wang Jian's granddaughter.
As Wang Wan 'er had been smart since she was a child, Ying Zheng liked her very much. Therefore, she was able to enter and leave the Xianyang Palace freely after receiving the honor of the Emperor.
Ying Ziye and Wang Wan 'er naturally knew each other.
However…
It had been many years since they last met.
When he had first met her, Wang Wan 'er had been too young to notice anything.
In the blink of an eye, many years had passed.
She was actually so beautiful.
At this moment.
Wang Wan 'er also saw Ying Ziye. Her husband was slightly stunned, as if he wasn't sure.
Soon after.
He hurriedly walked in front of Ying Ziye.
"Wan Er greets Your Highness!"”
Ying Ziye smiled faintly." It's Wan 'er. I haven't been to the palace for a long time. She's become more and more beautiful!"”
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness!" Wang Wan 'er said shyly.”
Ying Ziye smiled faintly and said," Don't be too formal. In the past, we were playmates!"”
Wang Wan 'er blushed.
Back then.
She was still young and didn't know etiquette. Because she had received the honor of the First Emperor, she could enter and leave Xianyang Palace freely.
She entered the palace.
At that time, she had a good time with Ying Ziye.
Later on, he grew up.
After understanding etiquette, they did not dare to enter the palace too much, afraid of causing criticism from others.
He looked at Ying Ziye.
Wang Wan 'er was a little dazed.
The young master who had played with her back then had already become the crown prince and was even managing the country on behalf of her father.
Now, his status was below one person and above tens of thousands of people.
During this period of time.
As soon as his grandfather and father got home, they kept exaggerating about Ying Ziye.
This made Wang Wan 'er even more curious about Ying Ziye.
Therefore…
He sneaked into the palace and coincidentally met Ying Ziye here.
Otherwise…
Xianyang Palace was so big and heavily guarded!
He didn't put in any effort!
How could they have such an easy chance encounter!!!!!
