I was fucked by Zheng Ge as soon as I crossed over
Chapter 22 Government and Business Department
Each person had his or her own unique concerns, and the hall fell into an eerie silence.
"I second the motion." A voice sounded, and everyone looked up. It turned out to be the commander-in-chief, Wei Liao, who had not spoken for a long time.
Li Si looked at him and sighed in his heart.
Looking back to the past, Wei Liao was still a retainer of Your Majesty. In order to conquer another country without bloodshed, he proposed to bribe the important officials of other countries with money.
Facts proved that his proposal was correct. Qin successfully bribed Hou Sheng, the uncle of King Jian of Qi, into persuading the King of Qi to abandon his military preparations and align himself with Qin, leading to his demise. Later, Qin generously bribed Guo Kai, then Prime Minister of Zhao, to eliminate Li Mu, a figure Wang Jian hadn't been confident of defeating, helping Qin easily conquer Zhao.
At that time, Wei Liao was really favored. He was given the same standard of clothing and food as Ying Zheng. The favored Li Si felt sour and jealous.
However, this man believed in physiognomy all his life. He secretly read Ying Zheng's face and felt that Ying Zheng lacked kindness and would make all the people in the world his slaves once he succeeded. Therefore, he could not stay with him for too long. Then, he ran away secretly!
Ran! Ran a full thirty miles!
It was Ying Zheng who noticed his abnormality, discovered his escape first, and personally captured him!
That night, the horses galloped, he fled and he chased.
It was also that night that Ying Zheng was furious and wanted to punish him, feeling both hatred and reluctance. Fortunately, Li Si arrived in time to give him a way out and dissuade him.
Later, Wei Liao became the national commander, responsible for national security.
Later, Wei Liao also changed from a retainer who was responsible for giving advice to a silent spectator.
Alas, it’s all bad fate.
At this moment, Ying Zheng was staring at Wei Liao, who was seconding the proposal, with a dazed look on his face, as if he was also recalling that night.
Before he could come to his senses, the ministers whose families were involved with merchants came up with suggestions.
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. How can you compete with the people for profit like this? If this gets out, won't you be laughed at by the world? Won't you be ridiculed by future generations?"
"If the people all go to government-run shops to buy goods, wouldn't that leave small merchants with no chance of survival? Wouldn't that force them to rebel? It would be detrimental to the stability of the Qin Empire!"
"The Third Princess is making a huge mistake. Merchants are obsessed with profit. If we give them more power, won't they deceive their superiors and subordinates, bring disaster to the village, bully the market, and harm the people?"
Su Jinyue was about to retort, but Wei Liao got there first.
"Nonsense! The existence of government-run shops simply incentivizes other shops to sell at lower prices, thus stabilizing prices. Profiting less isn't like losing money, so why would they rebel?" Wei Liao stepped forward and shouted, "Deceiving your superiors and subordinates? Where is the supervision? Where are the local officials? Where is the Censorate? Where do you put them?"
He paused briefly, then turned to face Ying Zheng and loudly suggested, "Your Majesty, the empire has just been stabilized and we need to rest and recuperate. If local government officials and merchants can purchase agricultural and industrial products and resell them elsewhere, it will benefit the people, the government officials and merchants, and the Qin Empire."
At this time, Su Jinyue jumped out, "Yes, yes, I know this, this is called win-win!"
She is familiar with this, she has learned it!
Just when she was about to start a long speech, Wei Liao continued.
"Guan Nei Hou's words are brilliant. Win-win, win-win, brilliant!" Wei Liao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I beg for your approval!"
Having argued this far, it's almost time to express one's stance.
Once again, the old man Li Si was the first to step forward and said, "I second the motion."
Meng Yi: "I second the motion!"
"Your Majesty, please think again!"
Those who agreed and those who disagreed knelt on the ground in a hurry. From a distance, everyone seemed quite respectful, kneeling together in an orderly manner, which was clearly visible at a glance.
Su Jinyue counted quietly, and it was over. There were only a dozen people who agreed, more than thirty people who opposed, and a bunch of people who sat like old monks, with their heads down, not paying attention to what was happening outside the window.
Sit, sit, sit. I should have known not to give you seats!
She had personally ordered Dan and Gui to make the cushions, a bunch of heartless old men.
Ying Zheng looked at the ministers kneeling below and collected his thoughts. "We'll discuss this matter later. The Three Dukes and Nine Ministers will stay, and the rest of you may leave."
Su Jinyue was dejectedly cleaning up the fried beans, rice crusts and dried fish on the table. Just as she was about to go out, she was stopped by Fusu.
Fusu winked at him.
"Is there sand in your eyes?"
"Ahem, Third Sister, Father, please stay."
Su Jinyue, as a conditioned reflex, immediately sat up straight.
After everyone left, the palace servants served them hot tea and snacks and then left.
"Tell me, what do you think?"
The atmosphere relaxed a little, and Ying Zheng leaned back in his chair. Everyone relaxed after seeing this.
"I think it's feasible."
Ying Zheng stopped the other party from bowing and said, "Just sit down and talk."
"I would like to thank Your Majesty."
Wei Liao: "I think this is a good thing, but it will definitely lead to a counterattack from merchants, so we must be prepared for all possible consequences."
Li Si: "The Ministry of Commerce is too involved in the interests of the government. Who will be in charge? The selection of leaders for the various chambers of commerce needs to be carefully considered."
Feng Jie: "The Censorate will fully cooperate and will issue relevant regulatory regulations as soon as possible."
Su Jinyue realized belatedly that none of them objected and they went straight into discussing how to implement it. Then why didn't you express your opinion just now?
"Crack, bang, bang!"
"Hahahahaha!"
She ate the snacks relentlessly as if to vent her anger.
Ying Zheng glanced at her sideways, took a deep breath, and held back the scolding that was about to come out.
The discussion continued, and the words of a few people at the pinnacle of power in the Qin Dynasty determined the lives of countless people.
There was a heated debate between them that lasted until noon.
Ying Zheng simply invited everyone to have dinner together.
"I've always heard that the Third Princess is an amazing cook, but today I realized how rough my food was before."
"Haha, your Majesty has such a caring daughter, everyone is envious!"
"This fish can actually do this, wonderful, wonderful."
Even though they have been superior to others for a long time, the food they eat is not much better than that of others.
Who would have thought that Feng Jie, who is usually serious and impartial, is actually a food lover.
He looked at Su Jinyue with a kind expression, which made Su Jinyue's scalp tingle, and she responded with a fake smile.
"Your Majesty, the Third Princess is getting older. My youngest son has been studying literature and martial arts since he was a child. He is well-mannered and has a good appearance, but he is still unmarried."
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!" Su Jinyue choked on a mouthful of tea. No way, I invited you to dinner and you have to bring it home? If you really like it, I can give you a few chefs!
Ying Zheng looked at Su Jinyue coughing and waving her hands, thinking that the child was being rude and making a fuss out of nothing.
"Xiao San is still young. I want to keep her for a few more years. Besides, I have already promised her the freedom to marry not long ago. There is no need to mention this matter again."
Feng Jie felt sorry for a lot, but then he thought, marriage is a freedom, so he should let his son have more contact with the third princess. Thinking of this, he became happy again.
His words aroused the thoughts of several other ministers at the table. They all started to think about suitable sons in their families. Those who did not have sons also began to consider the outstanding young men in their families one by one.
I took a bite of the food at the table. Hmm, it was delicious. I need to prepare a few more here.
Take another bite. Well, the younger generations of the clan also need to compete together to ensure that there is no risk.
This meal satisfied Ying Zheng's desire to show off a little, and also helped Su Jinyue identify several potential husband candidates.
At this time, Su Jinyue was still unaware of this, and she didn't know whether she would regret the effort she put into preparing today's meal when she found out.
No! Su Jinyue will tell you loudly, give me more handsome ones!
