Chao Song, Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Old Prime Minister, take the order!"

The courtiers in the palace were holding a scroll of edicts with a smile on their faces, and he was followed by a large number of wrestlers, who carried large chests of silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry.

These treasures are enough to make a powerful world of Chaoge spend for several years, which can be described as a generous reward.

In addition to various treasures and rewards, the edict also sealed the prime minister, canonized the official position of the heirs of the prime minister's family, and divided the land of thousands of miles as a fief.

Even the ministers in the palace were a little blushing when they saw the reward on the edict.

However, these things were given to the prime minister by the king, and he had to endure even if he was red-eyed.

"Old minister, thank you for the king's kindness!"

The prime minister discussed the favor, bowed down in the direction of the palace with his family, and then took the edict from the hands of the ministers.

Wait for the ministers to leave.

Shang Rong's originally smiling face immediately regained his composure, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes as he looked at the dazzling array of treasures in dozens of large boxes.

"Father, the king treats you so politely, and he has continuously rewarded you, why doesn't my son seem to be in high interest when he sees you?"

Shang Rong's son was looking at the rewarded treasure excitedly, and when he turned his eyes, he saw the old father's expression, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, the king is not thin on me!"

Shang Rong sighed in a low voice.

"That's it, the old man served the three generations of the ancestors of the Great Shang, he is old, and he has the intention of returning to his hometown, since the king is unwilling to let me assist, the old man will play tomorrow and leave the court!"

Shang Rong has been an official in the Great Shang Dynasty for so many years, and he has served as prime minister since the Emperor Yi period, and he still has some skills to figure out people's hearts. When he heard the contents of the edict, he understood what Di Xin wanted to express.

Old Prime Minister!

When the prime minister is old, shouldn't he say goodbye to his hometown and return to his hometown, and even the family assets, reputation, and future of his children and grandchildren after returning to his hometown are all rewarded.

When others see it, they will only envy Shang Rong for being valued by the king, but who knows that he Shang Rong has become a thorn in the king's heart, and he can't wait to drive him out of the court immediately.

Shang Rong sighed secretly. Before the performance, he asked his son to send a letter to Abhigan.

Day 2.

At the court song meeting, the prime minister Shang Rong played a farewell to the old man and returned to his hometown, which immediately shocked the entire court.

The ministers came forward to stay. But Shang Rong's tone was resolute. said that he was old enough to return to his roots, and continuing to stay in Chaoge was also a vegetarian meal.

Seeing that he was so resolute, the ministers could only give up persuasion.

A few days later, Shang Rong left Chaoge.

Without Shang Rong, the veteran and prime minister of the Three Dynasties, many of the courtiers of Chaoge suddenly lost their core, and Yabigan, as the emperor's uncle, sometimes couldn't stand up directly.

So when Emperor Xin took the opportunity to enact his own innovation, the resistance fell by half.

Di Xin's policy began to spread from Chaoge to the four directions of the Great Shang Territory.

There were a few powerful people who resisted the New Deal, and when the old people in the family died of illness, they still used slaves to bury them, which happened to hit the muzzle of Di Xin's gun.

Di Xin was furious and immediately dispatched Chao Tian Chao Lei to arrest all these powerful people who disobeyed the edict.

These people were even reduced to slavery and sent to the city to build Lutai!

Lutai is the platform where Emperor Xin is preparing to consolidate his capital and accumulate wealth and show the prestige of the emperor.

Since he was preparing to drastically reform the maladministration, there would inevitably be many powerful people and princes who were dissatisfied, and since this was the case, Di Xin prepared in advance.

Lutai is a place to hoard grain, grass, ordnance, and all kinds of treasures.

And the construction of Lutai also has the advantage of showing national strength and deterring the princes.

This reason is the same as the later Xiao He built Chang'an Weiyang Palace, when the world was undecided, the palace was built magnificent and extraordinarily luxurious.

The Son of Heaven takes the four seas as his home, and he is not magnificent, nor can he be powerful, and he will not make future generations have anything to add.

Of course, after Di Xin's decision to build Lutai came out, it was opposed by the courtiers.

This time, it's different.

In the past, although the courtiers opposed the various policies of Emperor Xin, they were all on the basis of facts. It's all for the sake of big trading companies.

And this time the construction of Lutai was regarded by many courtiers as a sign of the emperor's great palace, labor and wealth, and extravagance.

Xia Wei, the last king of the Great Xia Dynasty, was arrogant and lascivious, built a tilting palace, decorated Yaotai, made a Qiong room, set up a jade gate, and searched for beauties from all over the country and hid them in the harem.

Now Di Xin first wanted the princes to sacrifice their daughters, forced the rebellion against the Hou Suhu of Jizhou, and now built Lutai......

No matter how you look at it, Di Xin has the shadow of Xia Ji.

"Chen Du Yuan milled to play at the risk of death, Lutai worked hard and hurt money, and it is impossible!"

Shousengong.

Di Xin originally wanted to come to the nine-tailed fox to relax.

As a result, Du Yuanmi, who was in charge of the rooftop, chased all the way from the court, and even chased him to the harem.

Di Xin's face turned dark, he held back his anger, and sent someone to call Du Yuanmi, but before he could speak, he heard Du Yuanmian shouting loudly, with an angry face.

"Why should Aiqing be like this, Lutai can consolidate the capital and accumulate wealth, and the manpower conscripted is just a drop in the bucket for Chaoge, how can it be said that the people are working and hurting the money?"

Di Xin patiently explained.

When Du Yuanmi heard this, he immediately said: "Now I heard that the Taishi's northern expedition has not been decided, the treasury is empty, not long ago the drought and floods in the local territory were frequent, and the ministers observed the celestial phenomena, within a few years, the disasters of floods and droughts occurred frequently, and they must cultivate and recuperate, so that the people can be stable!"

"If the people are levied and the king levies one person, the small officials will harm ten families, so how can they not work the people and lose money?"

When Du Yuanmi played, the nine-tailed fox covered his face with a feather fan and sat next to Di Xin without saying a word.

"This courtier is loyal to the big merchants! But the more loyal he is to the big merchants, the more he has to find a way to solve the ......."

The thoughts in the nine-tailed fox's heart kept turning.

The way to solve the other party is to arch the fire to Di Xin and kill him with the help of Di Xin.

She could feel that Di Xin was already angry at this time, and if he provoked it slightly, he would emit thunderous fury.

However, when the nine-tailed fox was moved by the murderous thought, he suddenly remembered the warning of the original honor, and the mind that was originally full of killing thoughts suddenly became excited.

"No, it's easy to be contaminated with murder!"

The nine-tailed fox suddenly woke up, a little afraid.

If she had committed a murder and robbery and offended her honor, wouldn't she have cut herself off from the Nuwa Palace in the future?

"You say, if you levy one, you will harm ten families?"

Di Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, the minister also knows that the king is determined to innovate for the sake of the great business, but the innovation is absolutely impossible to rely on the king alone, if there is no courtier to implement, but the yin and yang are violated, isn't it self-inflicted?"

His current meaning is that Di Xin is acting too hastily and has offended the magnates of the court and many princes.

The edict he issued, when it came down, would be used as an arrow by many disgruntled courtiers.

Obviously, if one person is levied, the small officials and courtiers below will take the opportunity to expand the scope and loot the people's wealth with the orders of Di Xin.

When the time comes, the song will be turbulent, but it will be harmful to the big trading companies.
