The next day, Xianyang Hall.
The Marquis of Xianyang, Wang Jian, Wang Ben, and the other nobles of the Great Qin Empire were waiting for the court meeting to begin.
Ying Zhan was dressed in a luxurious black robe embroidered with a golden cloud pattern. He had a golden crown with a dragon tiger pattern on it as his hair was tied up. A high-quality black bird jade pendant carved from Lantian jade hung on his waist. He looked indescribably elegant and elegant.
In Great Qin's Imperial Court, he stood out like a crane among a flock of chickens, attracting everyone's attention.
Although Yingzhan wasn't a superficial person, he didn't care about his clothes and felt that he was handsome no matter what he wore.
Dressed in plain clothes, he was still very handsome in Xianyang Pavilion, looking simple and unadorned.
However, the luxurious attire in the court today was more suitable for the identity of the Marquis of Xianyang!
The only regret was that Yingzhan didn't wear the Xuan Bird Jade Pendant with the pattern of gardenia in his mouth, which was of better quality.
Not long ago, his grandfather, Ying Jiugong, had temporarily taken it back for safekeeping because Ying Zhan should be wearing a marquis jade pendant instead of a family jade pendant.
Therefore, what Yingzhan was wearing at the moment was the common style of the Mystic Bird Jade Pendant that his grandfather had ordered to be made from good Lantian Jade.
Otherwise, if he wore that mysterious bird jade pendant with gardenia flowers in his mouth, it would definitely make Yingzhan look even more gentle like jade, like an immortal.
"Fu Su greets Senior Brother!"
The Eldest Young Master, Fu Su, who was at the head of the officials, saw Ying Zhan and went forward to greet him with a face full of hope and respect."After the court meeting ends, Fu Su has a few questions that he would like to ask Senior Brother.”
"Young Master is too polite."
Ying Zhan also smiled and greeted Fu Su, and accepted Fu Su's invitation.
This scene caused Great Qin's officials to feel quite shocked.
"Young Master Fusu actually addressed the Marquis of Xianyang as Senior Brother and treated him as half a teacher!”
"The Marquis of Xianyang is so young, yet His Majesty and Young Master Fusu value him so much. How enviable…"
Many of the ministers were shocked and envious.
It was the dream of many officials to be favored by Eldest Young Master Fu Su and become his second master.
After all, Fu Su was the Eldest Young Master. Logically speaking, he was likely to be the heir of the empire in the future.
To be able to be Fu Su's teacher, even if it was just a secondary teacher, it was possible for him to become an emperor teacher in the future!
However, many experienced old officials did not manage to gain Young Master Fu Su's favor.
Even though Fu Su had learned from Confucian scholars, he had only been taught by those Confucian scholars and doctors. He had not formally acknowledged them as his master.
This was because Young Master Fusu had a master, Meng Tian. The Confucians paid attention to integrity and were unwilling to be a secondary master.
Secondly, the Confucianists pursued the rule of the ruler, the subject, the father, and the son. As the respected eldest son of Great Qin, Young Master Fu Su was the ruler. Even if he learned from the Confucianists, the Confucianists could not treat him as a disciple.
Due to the above reasons, Young Master Fusu's position as the second teacher had been vacant for a long time. Many officials had worked hard to get this position.
However, none of them got what they wanted.
Now that they suddenly saw Fu Su address Ying Zhan as Senior Brother and treat him with the courtesy of half a teacher, the ministers were shocked and jealous…
It seemed that the Marquis of Xianyang was more likely to become Young Master Fusu's second master…
Especially Chunyu Yue and the other Confucians, their eyes were about to spit fire.
They had spent a lot of effort to cultivate Young Master Fusu into a Confucian scholar. Now, in just a few days, Fusu no longer had any ties with Confucian scholars and was directly abducted by Ying Zhan.
If they knew this would happen, Chunyu Yue and the others wouldn't have complained to Young Master Fusu. They would have asked Fusu to help them get back at them.
If that was the case, Fu Su would not have been abducted by Yingzhan since he had never seen him.
However, even though they were so anxious that their eyes were about to spew fire, Chunyu Yue and the others could only curse silently in their hearts and did not dare to say anything.
In the court meeting ten days ago, the psychological trauma that Ying Zhan had left on Chunyu Yue and the others hadn't subsided yet!
"The Marquis of Xianyang is such a talented young man.”
Among the ministers, Li Si looked on coldly as he muttered meaningfully.
"The First Emperor has arrived!"
With a shout, the First Emperor's figure appeared in the hall.
Ying Zhan raised his head and looked over. Indeed, after his identity was exposed, the First Emperor no longer concealed himself. Today, there was no curtain in front of the Emperor's Throne.
This was also the first time Yingzhan had seen the First Emperor wearing the emperor's robe and wearing the 12 crown streamers with beaded curtains on his head.
He couldn't help but nod in his heart. After all, he was the First Emperor who had swept across all directions. This emperor aura was still very shocking.
As for the pale-faced pervert beside the First Emperor, he must be Zhao Gao…
The court discussion began. First Emperor first followed Yingzhan's plan yesterday and announced the transfer of money from the treasury to the counties of Wei to buy food at a high price for disaster relief.
This action made many ministers feel strange. Logically speaking, at this time, they should stabilize the grain price and attack those who raised the grain price.
Why did the First Emperor do the opposite and raise the grain price of Wei by a hundred times?
However, this was the Emperor's will, and the money was from the treasury, so no one dared to stand up and refute the Emperor's will even though they felt strange.
There were even some ministers and nobles who had already started to plan in their hearts. They would bring the surplus grain from their families to the Land of Wei and earn a hundredfold profit.
It was not that these ministers and nobles were stupid. Those who could enter the Imperial Court were all people who had received education and inheritance.
However, in this era, other than Guan Zhong, Fan Li, Zi Gong, and a few people like Lu Buwei, the former Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, very few people had a deep understanding of economic warfare!
This plan to win the battle was both an open scheme and a direct attack!
Even if there were a few smart people who felt that something was wrong, it was difficult to figure out what was wrong before the layout was completed!
After that, the First Emperor issued another decree, appointing Wang Ben as the Special Envoy of the Empire, who would head to Wei to oversee the disaster relief.
This edict did not cause any waves.
Obviously, everyone knew that the food shortage in Wei was caused by Wang Ben, and they thought that the Emperor was asking Wang Ben to clean up the mess he had made.
It was easy to lose out in the disaster relief, and no one wanted to compete with Wang Ben.
In the end, the First Emperor issued a decree appointing Xianyang Marquis Yingzhan as the internal history of the government.
He was one of the nine ministers and was in charge of the money, food, and goods of Great Qin.
Of course, he was in charge of the public accounts.
As for the private wealth of the emperor and the royal family, it was managed by Shao Fu, one of the nine ministers.
In truth, Great Qin had just unified the country and had many things to do. There was quite a lot of money in the treasury, but not much food.
After all, money was a mobile thing. It would only circulate and not disappear.
After Qin destroyed the six countries, the wealth of the six countries 'Royal Families and treasuries were gathered in Great Qin.
Whether it was Great Qin's treasury or the First Emperor's private treasury, they were all filled to the brim.
Only consumables like food were constantly being consumed. In the war before unification, they had consumed even more.
Therefore, the imperial government's grain reserves were in urgent need.
And this problem was the headache of Internal Secretary Zhi Su…
A few days ago, the first emperor wanted to allocate the surplus grain in the granary of Guanzhong to relieve the land of Wei.
He asked the previous internal historian to think of a way to get more food, but how could that pitiful internal historian do that?
Food couldn't just appear out of thin air…
As a result, an old official from Qin who was previously in charge of the internal history of grain management took the initiative to resign because he was under too much pressure and had a sore on his back due to excessive internal heat…
And now, the First Emperor appointed the Marquis of Xianyang as the internal historian of grain, which made the ministers have no thoughts.
There were even some who "sympathized" with the victory because it was still very difficult for an internal history who lacked food and resources to do things…
Not only did he not have the chance to make contributions, but he also had many things to worry about. All the money and grain allocation in the empire, as well as the distribution of official salaries, had to be taken care of by the internal historian.
The previous internal history was a lesson from the past.
Although he was an old minister, he was actually not even fifty years old. Because he had too many things to worry about and was under too much pressure, his hair was all white. He looked even older than seventy or eighty years old…
Furthermore, the pressure was so great that he had sores on his back…
Ying Zhan smiled inwardly at the 'sympathetic' gazes of the ministers.
Worry too much?
Winning a battle was exactly what he wanted!
The more things he had to manage, the more power he had to execute the Qin laws!
There would also be more opportunities to farm reward points!
He is in charge of the internal history of grain, in charge of the world's finance, and all matters related to money and grain!
Was he afraid that he wouldn't have the chance to practice the Qin technique and get a reward?
