Feng Quji and the others were completely stupid at this time.

One by one, their heads were lowered, and their faces were as ugly as they were. At this time, in their hearts, there were 10,000 herds of grass and horses galloping by......

Who would have thought that this would be the case?

The collusion between officials and businessmen at the beginning turned out to be such a big reversal.

Businessmen don't want to make money, they actually want to show their self-worth......

For you, can you think of it?

To be honest, Feng Quji and the others, even if the facts and results in front of them were in front of them, they still couldn't understand why these businessmen were willing to do this.

Although these projects are still profitable, they are still ......

Don't they know that the treasury is empty, so they don't worry about undertaking these projects, and in the end the treasury will not be able to cash in the money and grain, resulting in bankruptcy?

Don't they know that there are people in the great river valleys who are rebelling? Aren't you really worried that the chaos will spread and you won't be able to collect taxes this year?

Of course, what is even more incomprehensible is why Li Yang has so much confidence and thinks that the project bidding is feasible from the beginning?

In particular, he set the bidding price of the project so high, why did he necessarily believe that the merchants would compete with each other? Isn't he worried at all about the risk of losing the treasury?

…………

Everyone looked confused, and they couldn't understand these things for a while.

Of course, it's no wonder that they can't understand it, in fact, when Li Yang asked Li Si to set the bidding price so high, Li Si was also scared.

Later, after a long day of talking, Li Si accepted his idea.

The higher the price, the better, the higher, the more businessmen are attracted, and the more fierce the competition.

For Li Yang, loving the country and the people is just feelings, and selfishness and interests are the main theme that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

120,000 wealthy businessmen were attracted to the bidding meeting by high profits, as long as the project is still profitable, no one will want to watch others eat that mouthful of fat, even if they can't eat it, they will let the other party make as little money as possible.

Therefore, the transaction price has nothing to do with pricing, but only with the degree of competition.

"Why, all of them are mute at this point?"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and said angrily: "You have no evidence, so you will attack and slander the loyal and virtuous ministers, and I have decided that anyone who participates in the collusion of Li Yang's officials and businessmen today will be fined for one year to use the disaster to revitalize the disaster!" ”

A group of civil and military ministers, with a dead face, a year of money, just gone......

At this time, everyone was like eating flies, and their hearts were very speechless.

Obviously, at the beginning, the emperor himself thought that Li Yang was emptying the treasury, otherwise how could he go to the National Development and Reform Bureau to witness it with his own eyes?

It's good that in the end you're blaming everyone for all the mistakes......

Is this a fall into the ground? Scapegoating?

Everyone looked at each other, they didn't expect the emperor to be such a person!

After punishing the group of ministers, Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Li Yang, his eyes full of appreciation.

What a talent this guy is!

Who would have thought that he would easily solve the famine problem with a project tender?

Moreover, he is even more loyal to Daqin, and even the Ba family was influenced and called by him, and without any competition, he voluntarily contracted the Qinling project at a low price of 950,000 gold.

In particular, the sentence "The status of a person and a group is only judged by the value of his contribution to the country and society......" stimulates the patriotic enthusiasm of businessmen.

This statement can be called a wise saying, and it can be widely respected.

If everyone is vying to contribute value to Daqin and society, how can Daqin not prosper?

There is also the sentence "If there is no country, where is the home?" This can also be called a wise saying.

Of course, these words were later included in the "Historical Records: Biography of Li Yang", as classic sayings, passed down to future generations......

Ying Zheng looked at Li Yang with mixed feelings, patted him on the shoulder, and praised: "Li Yang, you have really made a great contribution this time!" I am very relieved that I have not failed to live up to my trust and expectations for you! ”

Li Yang smiled, but still said in a complaining tone: "The minister's loyalty to Daqin and His Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon. ”

Ying Zheng naturally knew that Li Yang had been wronged this time, was questioned by everyone, and was even colluded by the officials and businessmen under his own hands, which was really sad.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng was also a little reluctant in his heart, and comforted: "Qingzhi's loyalty, I know it." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and reprimanded the imperial historians with an iron face: "If you slander and slander Li Yang next time without any evidence, I will never forgive you!" ”

Historians: "............"

At this moment, the imperial historians have nothing to love in their hearts......

Today, they have completely become the backstabbers!

Not only was he reprimanded by the emperor and punished him for a year, but more importantly, he really offended Li Yang this time. The days that come are really worrying......

Now that the famine problem has been completely solved, Ying Zheng is actually very happy in his heart. However, in order to express his empathy for Li Yang's grievances, Ying Zheng finally snorted coldly at the imperial historians, looked unhappy, and threw his sleeves away......

Li Yang also glanced at the imperial historians, flicked his sleeves expressionlessly, and followed the emperor out of the council hall.

In the end, a group of disgusted civil and military ministers were left, you look at me, I look at you, and they looked at each other speechlessly and smiled bitterly......

Especially Feng Quji, today is extremely congested.

And Zhang Han and other generals also completely lost their temper.

They don't have a grudge against Li Yang, but they are unhappy that Li Yang said in the court before that they were useless to calm the chaos.

Now, Li Yang was really able to use the merchants to solve the famine problem, to be honest, these generals still admired it very much in their hearts, at least they didn't have the ability to do this.

More importantly, as long as there is a way out for the victims, the chaos is indeed equivalent to being stopped at the root. The generals still know this truth.

However, although the problem of famine has been cured, it is ...... Just because the chaos is over doesn't mean it's over.

The rebel army in the Great River Valley will not collapse on its own, but it still needs the army to quell the chaos and recover the city controlled by the rebels.

And all this, Li Yang relied on a Dharma Protector Captain who had never been on the battlefield, and five hundred Yulin sergeants, could he do it?

Zhang Han and other generals didn't believe it.

No matter how capable you are in governing the country, no matter how smart you are, you can't win a war with your brains.

500 men, tens of thousands of people, and also to attack the city and seize the land, this is simply impossible. Even if it is Sun Bin reincarnated, it will not work.

Thinking of this, Zhang Han turned his head and said to the generals around him: "Let's go, let's go back and prepare well, I still need to wait for the chaos to be quelled." ”

The generals nodded, and left the chamber as well......

Li Yang solved the famine problem, but Li Yang did not send Han Xin to send troops to quell the chaos for a long time, which already showed that he could not quell the chaos, so the emperor would still let them be responsible for the chaos sooner or later.

This is the consensus of all the generals.
