Qin Feng shook his head.
"Of course not. I don't know martial arts. It's good enough that I wasn't robbed.”
He smiled and said,
"I did take another path."
"Hmm?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said unhappily," You took advantage of the loophole and took a shortcut…Could it be that you bribed the officials and faked your merits?”
He was a strict monarch who would never allow his subjects and people to cheat and sell their titles!
Once they were caught, they would be beheaded and their entire family would be implicated!!
If Qin Feng had used underhanded methods to obtain the title, then even if he did not say it, his impression of Qin Feng would be greatly reduced!
"Of course not! What are you thinking?"
Qin Feng says with a glare.
"With Great Qin's strict laws, how can they take such a path? With my character, would I do such a thing?”
"Really…"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression softened, and he smiled again,"
"Alright, alright. Uncle said the wrong thing.”
"Don't keep me in suspense! Tell me quickly!"
Qin Feng's words really aroused his curiosity!
"Hehe…I got this title by donating food!”
Qin Feng shook his head and said rather proudly,
"The laws of Qin state that during wartime, anyone who doesn't change below the rank of nobility will be exempted from military service once if they donate 1,000 dans of grain and will be given a rank of nobility!”
"And I, relying on my savings and the popularity of brown sugar, finally raised 100,000 yuan to buy 1,000 stones of good rice and send it to the Soldier!”
"It goes without saying that the efficiency of my Great Qin government office is really high. I just donated food in the morning and the title was sent to me in the evening!”
He pointed at the brown scarf on his finger, then waved the bamboo certificate of exemption from military service in front of Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and took the bamboo certificate. He glanced at it carefully, especially the column about Qin Feng's identity and birthplace. He stared at it for a long time.
He knew about this law.
The original goal was to get the noble families to donate food. After all, Great Qin had been fighting for years, and even though it was a bumper year, there was still a shortage of food.
Using a rank 1 noble title to exchange for 1000 dans of grain was definitely worth it for the Imperial Court.
The local tyrants were willing to accept Great Qin's rules and were exempted from obtaining titles.
Therefore, this was a win-win situation.
However, Ying Zheng did not expect that Qin Feng would be willing to spend a huge sum of money to exchange for a noble!
"A hundred thousand? Is the price of grain that high now?"
Ying Zheng keenly caught the key information, and hurriedly asked,
"A thousand dans of grain costs a hundred thousand?!”
Qin Feng gave Ying Zheng a glance, with an expression that said,'You don't know how expensive the rice is if you're not in charge.'
"Of course, my Great Master Yin!”
He spread his hands and said,
"Great Qin has been fighting for many years, and it hasn't been a good year for the past few years.”
"From the initial price of 70 gold coins per stone to the current price of 100 gold coins per stone, it has already increased by nearly half!”
"Perhaps such an increase might not be much to you lords, but to the ordinary people, it's unbearable!”
"I also heard many commoners say that they have to tighten their belts in the future and eat as little as possible. If they really can't afford it!”
Ying Zheng fell into silence.
It turned out that what Fu Su said was true.
100, it had really reached the point where they could not afford the grain price…
Could it be that he had been too hasty in sending his troops out? Should we rest with the people?
The moment this thought appeared in his mind, even Ying Zheng himself was shocked!
Why did he become enraged when Fu Su said such words, and why did Qin Feng change his method…and he actually wavered?!
No, he absolutely could not waver!
The commander's seal had already been sent out, and the general had also bowed. The war mobilization was in full swing. At this time, the King of Qin withdrew his order. What would the world think?
He couldn't afford to lose face!
In just an instant, Ying Zheng steeled his resolve, looked at Qin Feng and asked,"
"Since the grain price is so expensive, why don't you donate when it's cheap?”
"Although there are years of war now, there will always be peaceful days in the future. The grain prices will also fall.”
"You prodigal!"
This round trip could probably save tens of thousands of yuan!
"Hehe, Uncle Yin, this is what you don't understand.”
Qin Feng smiled mysteriously. He pointed at the military service exemption certificate on the table and said,
"Why am I in such a hurry to donate at such a high price? Because what I want is not only the title, but also this, exemption certificate!”
"With this certificate, I don't have to serve in the military or go to the battlefield. That's the key!”
"It was really close this time. I heard from the sergeant that I was already on the list of conscripts…Fortunately, I made it in time.”
Speaking up to this point, Qin Feng still had some lingering fear in his heart.
Fortunately, he caught the last bus.
If he followed Li Xin to attack Chu, he would probably be buried in a foreign land!
"Hmm? You don't want to be a soldier and fight for the Duke?"
Ying Zheng reprimanded unhappily,
"The weak mentality of a small merchant!"
"If everyone is as timid as you, then what fighting strength does my Qin country have? How can you talk about sweeping the world?"
His words were already a little impolite, and there was a hint of reprimand in them.
As the King of Qin, he naturally hoped that his people were howling wolves, not rabbits that were afraid of battle!
Although Qin Feng's method was not wrong, he really did not like it!
"Hehe, you're not the one on the battlefield, so of course you'd say that.”
Qin Feng rolled his eyes and said rudely,
"There's bloodshed and sacrifice in war! For someone like me who has no parents, even if I die on the battlefield, no one will collect my corpse or cry for me!”
"Since there are channels for exemption, of course I have to cherish my life!”
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then his expression softened a little.
She had no parents and was all alone…
This child was quite pitiful. It was not wrong to cherish his life…
"Besides, it's not that I don't dare to go to the battlefield. I'm just judging the situation. I don't want to fight a battle that is obviously a suicide mission!”
Qin Feng humphed.
"If there is a chance of winning, I will definitely follow the army to kill the enemy! Who wouldn't want a title from the chaotic battle?"
"But if you know that you're going to die and still rush forward, that's not courage, that's stupidity! Do you understand?"
Ying Zheng's face darkened.
"What do you mean?" He said in a low voice," Do you think that Great Qin will definitely lose the war against Chu?”
If Fu Su had said such words, he would probably have beaten up the unfilial son!
But now, both sides were communicating on equal footing. He was not the King of Qin, but Yin Zhengwen. He was a bystander, not a decision-maker.
Therefore, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and decided to listen to this kid's opinion.
However, if he couldn't come up with a reason, he would definitely scold this cowardly brat to wake him up!
"Yes, sir! I believe that this battle will not only be lost, but it will be a crushing defeat!”
Qin Feng didn't feel any psychological burden and directly said,
"Don't think that I'm talking nonsense. I have a basis for saying this!”
"I'm willing to hear it!" Ying Zheng gave a cold snort and looked at Qin Feng, clenching his fists tightly!
"There are three reasons why the Qin country will definitely lose!"
Qin Feng stretched out three fingers and said in a clear voice,
"Firstly, we don't have enough soldiers!"
"Secondly, the choice of generals is wrong!"
"Thirdly, I underestimated the Chu Country. Or rather, I underestimated the last famous general of the Chu Country, Xiang Yan!”
"These three will determine the Qin country's defeat in this battle. There is no suspense! Tsk tsk…our king, prepare to face the greatest defeat since he took over!”
