Ying Zheng listened to the words of the Manchu ministers, and felt that Li Yang was dreaming. He really couldn't understand how such an extremely smart person could become so stupid this time.

It is foolish to think that businessmen will change their mercenary nature in order to love the country and the people.

Is this still the Li Yang who has the wisdom of the sky, has a peerless knowledge, and has outstanding wisdom?

Ying Zheng stared at Li Yang for a long time, and finally asked deeply: "Li Yang, if there is a huge deficit in the transaction price of the project, do you know the consequences?" ”

This sentence does have a deep meaning, Ying Zheng really appreciates Li Yang's talent, and has high hopes for him.

Because of the same ambition and the same ideal, Ying Zheng even pinned his ideals in this life on this person.

It is precisely because of this complicated mood that Ying Zheng is even a little worried about Li Yang, if the final project transaction price deviates too much from what Li Yang thinks, no matter how much he values him, he will not be able to protect him.

Because once he is protected, how will he govern the country in the future?

Therefore, Yingzheng at this time is really a little heartbroken. Why would such a person be so confused?

Of course, Ying Zheng didn't believe that Li Yang would collude with businessmen, because no matter how much money he had, it would not be able to be compared with the prime minister of Zhongcheng, who was below one person and above ten thousand people.

Everyone also heard from the emperor's words that if Li Yang really lost the treasury, the emperor would not protect him anymore, and Li Yang would definitely die!

Of course, Li Yang naturally understood that the emperor was worried about him.

I couldn't help but be moved in my heart, raised my head and looked at Yingzheng with firm eyes, and said confidently: "Your Majesty believes in the minister, and the minister will be fully responsible for the pacification of the chaos, and the minister will never live up to His Majesty's trust, not before, not in the future, and not this time." If Your Majesty is worried, you might as well move to the Development and Reform Agency, and go to see the bidding meeting over there with your own eyes, if the facts do not match the minister's speculation, the minister is willing to accept the crime of emptying the treasury! ”

Looking at Li Yang's determined gaze, although Ying Zheng also wanted to believe him, he ......

I think of believing that businessmen will not take advantage of disasters to accumulate wealth, that businessmen will know how to love the country and the people, and that businessmen will no longer seek profit......

Ying Zheng will not believe it if he is killed.

Of course, if Ying Zheng believed in merchants, he would not have forcibly moved 120,000 wealthy merchants from the Six Kingdoms into Xianyang City, this purpose was actually to make it easier to spy on those merchants.

Therefore, he regretted it in his heart, regretting that he had handed over the matter of quelling the chaos to Li Yang a few days ago.

Now, Ying Zheng had no choice but to sigh and say, "Okay, move to the Development and Reform Agency, if you are wrong, I will not spare you!" ”

In order not to attract attention and affect the progress of the bidding conference, Ying Zheng also changed into civilian clothes, and even asked the ministers to take off their court clothes before rushing to the Development and Reform Bureau......

At the same time, in the NDRC.

The NDRC has three chambers, and the bidding meeting is going on at this time.

At this time, it is the end of the project competition for six bids.

The price of this project bidding was so high that Li Si was originally very worried, to be honest, in order to support Li Yang this time, he was even ready to lose his official position and dismiss him.

However, after six competitions, his heart, which was hanging in mid-air, finally landed.

Li Yang is right, as long as the project bidding attracts enough businessmen, these businessmen will compete with each other in order to get the project, and as long as there is still profit, they will not be willing to return empty-handed.

Therefore, after six projects, not only did the contract price of the project be reduced to a reasonable level, but also in order to win the project, the businessman also promised a lot of very good promises.

For example, when the price is pressed to a reasonable level, although the merchant will no longer compete on the price, he will use other conditions to compete for the chance of winning the bid.

To this end, some businessmen promise to hire 50,000 victims, while others promise to hire 100,000 victims......

In short, it is to do everything possible to win the project as much as possible.

This really surprised Li Si, and at the same time, he was extremely moved, and he admired Li Yang again.

It is not possible for ordinary people to use project bidding to solve the problem of famine once and for all, and to get the merchants to participate so actively.

At this time, the three venues opened a new round of bidding conferences.

Two Great Wall projects and one Qinling project.

The three council rooms were full of businessmen who had signed up for the competition.

Because the Great Wall, Qinling and Afang only released more than 100 projects in total, for the 120,000 wealthy merchants in Xianyang City, it is obvious that there are more monks and few meats, and hundreds of businessmen compete for a project, and the competition is fierce, which can be imagined.

At the same time, Ying Zheng was dressed in civilian clothes and brought a group of ministers to the National Development and Reform Bureau, and quietly walked into one of the conference halls.

The conference hall, which had originally gathered nearly 200 people, was crowded into a group of ministers and ministers at this time, and the entire conference hall could be said to be overcrowded.

Looking at the bidding venue, where so many businessmen gathered, Ying Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, with disdain in his heart.

The scene in front of me is like a dog smelling feces and all of them are flocking to the NDRC, wanting to grab a bite to eat.

Hey, Li Yang is really a loser!

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng sighed in his heart.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

At this time, I saw that the chief official who presided over the bidding reached out on the stage and pressed it to show that everyone was quiet.

When the chamber quieted down, he introduced: "The bidding project is the seventh bid section of the Great Wall, located in Guyang County, with a total length of 200 miles and a bidding price of 1.2 million gold. ”

When everyone heard this, they were extremely excited and eager to try.

Of course, when Ying Zheng and a group of ministers heard this, they were full of voices.

The ministers of civil and military affairs are also all booing each other.

1.2 million gold, this price is also double the normal cost!

At this time, some people were already sneering in their hearts, just waiting to see Li Yang's oolong joke.

Ying Zheng is also extremely heartbroken, this is all the money and food of the Great Qin treasury.

At this time, he really held back his anger and waited to see what the result of this bid would be.

As long as the transaction price of the bid was too much, he immediately punished Li Yang and ordered the bidding to be suspended.

"The specific project acceptance standards, the responsibility of the project contract in your hands has been detailed in the letter, in short, those who cut corners will be killed!"

After the chief officer said this, the chief officer struck the hammer and announced, "Now the bidding begins!" ”

"Xianyang Wang's salt shop, 1.1 million gold!"

"Xianyang Liu's Tea Shop, one million gold!"

"My Zhang's grain store, 900,000 gold!"

"My Luo family bid 800,000 gold!"

“…………”

"I say, guys, can you show some sincerity? The purpose of this bidding is to solve the problem of famine, to relieve the country's worries, and to save the lives of the world, what about your conscience? I, Li's Rice Company, bid 650,000 gold, and promised to employ no less than 100,000 victims! ”

"Is your Li family amazing? Could it be that your Li family has the ability to solve the famine problem? ”

At this time, a young man was unhappy, and directly raised his head and said: "My Luo family bid 600,000 gold, promising to hire no less than 200,000 victims. In addition, in all counties of Daqin, my Luo family has branches of commercial banks, which can employ disaster victims on a large scale in each county of Daqin at the same time and send them to the Great Wall construction site, and as long as these young and strong laborers go to the construction site, the old and weak in their families can get the advance money and grain of my Luo family's local commercial bank, which can solve the urgent needs of the old and weak in the families of the disaster victims! ”

The Li family was speechless for a while, because his Luo family's business was mainly operated in Xianyang, and he really couldn't do this point of the Luo family.

Seeing that no one at the venue offered a bid, the chief officer asked three times, and finally dropped the hammer: "The seventh bid section of the Great Wall, the 200-mile project of the Great Wall in Guyang County, and the bid of Xianyang Luojia!" ”

With the sound of a "snap", the merchants in the entire council hall sighed again and again, their faces full of regret and loss......

And at the same time......

Ying Zheng and the more than 100 ministers of civil and military affairs are all stupid!

One by one, they stared at the scene in front of them with their eyes wide open, and they were so shocked that they couldn't even speak!

Everyone is looking at each other, you look at me, I look at you, with a confused face!

Everyone has a sentence in their heart......

Can anyone tell me what exactly happened?
