This huge design of the imperial group of sculptures was completed by five painters, plus himself and Hu Kuan, and the design and painting took several months to complete.

And the purpose of today's special purpose is naturally to guess that some people may raise objections to the statues of the sons of the hundred schools.

In this era of preaching the supremacy of the emperor, no one can be above the emperor, except for the gods, these selected hundred great sages are certainly expected, but after all, they are still mortals, standing high on the steps in front of the library, a statue is taller than the palace and the court hall, which has violated the image and majesty of the emperor.

Chen Xu has long been ready to make this group of imperial statues to enhance the quality of the Great Hall, and this group of statues defined in the name of China will also completely put the Great Qin and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors together with the founding kings of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to form a complete chain of inheritance, telling the world that no matter who is in charge and ruling China, the integrity and inheritance of China will always be the same, which is a recognition of civilization inheritance.

In the view of Qin Shi Huang, China should be one, and it is necessary to continue to expand the territory, so as to continue to surpass the achievements of the previous emperors, and now the first emperor has achieved the results that the previous emperors could not do, Chen Xu naturally does not mind patting the sycophants of the first emperor of the ages, and making his statue the most powerful, after all, this is his dynasty, and it is also the reward and encouragement he deserves.

As the emperor who created the unification of China, it is pale and powerless to pat the sycophants with any words, when he already has everything in the world, when he is constantly rewarding the heroes who have opened up the territory for him, how little he gets, even if it is the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum under construction, it is just his fear of death and a hope in his heart.

And this statue is Chen Xu's reward for the first emperor, the emperor of the ages, with his own method and his insignificant ability, so that he can get some psychological satisfaction and comfort, let him really see that he is respected and admired by all generations, so that he can really stand with the three emperors and five emperors, and embody the personality charm that transcends the times.

In the world, there is no one who is not vain.

But vain people are not ungreat.

It just depends on what kind of position you stand in and what kind of mentality you face it.

The vanity of the emperor is to surpass the emperors of the previous generation, and the first emperor has surpassed the merits of the three emperors and five emperors, so far, the thousands of years of inheritance of the unity of China, this vanity is worthy of the admiration and worship of future generations.

Chen Xu felt that even if everyone who was filmed had goosebumps, it was really what he was willing to do, which was his most sincere comfort and blessing to Qin Dada.

If you can't help you live forever, then I'll make you happier in your lifetime.

In the past historical time and space, Qin Shi Huang died desperately and lonely.

But in this era, Chen Xu decided not to let him be so desolate and helpless.

This high-ranking emperor, this ancestral dragon who ruled China, and this Great Qin Emperor with a confusing background, is actually lonely in Chen Xu's opinion, and his loneliness is incomprehensible.

Just like Chen Xu, except for boiling water gentle, he can't find any confidant to talk to, even if the water is gentle, he just worships him more, and he doesn't know his true identity at all, and there are some things that Chen Xu naturally can't say, and he can't say it clearly.

The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, but even if the first emperor has everything in the world, he is still lonely, so lonely that no one can understand, only when facing Chen Xu, he can feel more relaxed and happy.

It's a feeling of empathy.

And in the whole world, it seems that only the two of them still care about the future of Daqin so much.

This Manchu Dynasty civil and military including Shangqing Meng Yi and the right minister Feng Quji, they never thought about what the future of Great Qin would be, what would happen to Huaxia in the future, their eyes were always focused on their own position, being the king's courtier, for the family, for the power and status.

"Aiqing treats me so well, how can I repay me!"

The First Emperor held Chen Xu's hand, his gentle eyes were full of surprise and excitement, and he said something that made the hearts of the civil and military officials in the entire court tremble.

"Your Majesty, this is the art of condensing the fortune of the country, Your Majesty as the Emperor of Great Qin, your task as the Lord of China has not yet been completed, the minister built this statue for His Majesty, but also to remind His Majesty that you need to continue to work hard, to achieve the true way of the emperor perseverance, the minister hopes that one day, can see our Great Qin's dragon flag planted all over the world, the name of China resounded throughout the world, guests from all over the world come to the court, the kings of all countries come to congratulate, this is the minister's wish also!"

"Good!" The First Emperor held Chen Xu's hand tightly and nodded repeatedly, turned to Feng Quji and said: "The matter of this emperor's group of sculptures must be completed, and all the money and food expenses Feng Xiang must arrange for the full support of the Finance Department. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Feng Quji's face was calm, but when he lowered his head, his face twitched a few times.

This group of statues is majestic and majestic, and the Chinese Monument is even more towering, and the basalt boulders used for construction alone do not know how much it will take, and the manpower and material resources consumed are naturally countless, and the construction is small, but the money flowing in this uproar has to be allocated from the Finance Department, and Feng Qujian is naturally distressed cramps.

"Hehe, Feng Xiangdon't feel distressed, this monument and statue don't need to be paid by the Finance Department, and someone will send money to Beijing soon!" Chen Xu smiled and comforted Feng Quji.

As soon as Chen Xu said this, there was a commotion all around, and the First Emperor spoke before Feng Quji could speak: "This group of statues is extremely huge, and it will inevitably cost more money and food than the statues of the sons of the hundred schools combined, I don't know who can afford this money?" ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister received a letter from Fan Yan, the head of the Fan family in Nanyang, a few days ago, saying that in mid-March, he would come to Xianyang with the business leaders of the Central Plains counties, and the merchants were also one of the hundred, all of whom believed in the merchant Daxian Fan Li, this time Fan Li was selected into the list of the hundred princes, ranking eighteenth, so the business community jointly raised five million money to sponsor the construction of the library and the Beijing Normal University and the auditorium, and the five million money was more than enough for the construction of the Zhenguo God Monument and the emperor's group of carvings, so Your Majesty and Feng Xiang don't have to worry!"

"Huh, that's good, it seems that this group of businessmen is still benevolent!" Feng Qujian breathed a long sigh of relief, his face instantly relaxed, and by the way, he also praised the businessman.

"In this way, the total amount of funds raised from the private sector for the construction of the statues of the sons of the hundred families has exceeded 16 million!" An official of the Finance Department said excitedly.

"Yes, I said at the beginning that this Zhuzi statue project will definitely succeed, and now it seems that the funds raised have far exceeded expectations, so there will be no shortage of money for the entire library project, and the minister can also tell His Majesty a greater good news, and a large amount of money will be transported to Jingshi soon!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"And the money?" Everyone was confused, although they all knew that Qinghehou had endless means of making money and raising money, but the richest businessmen in the world had donated five million dollars, and they didn't know who else could donate more money.

"What Aiqing said is itching in my heart, or come quickly, where is there a large amount of money to transport to Jingshi?" Qin Shi Huang looked at Chen Xu, who was light and breezy, and couldn't help but urge.

Since the monetary reform, money is not enough for both the court and the people, and now the coin issuance of Daqin is far from keeping up with the rapid development of the national economy, and has become a bottleneck restricting commercial and economic development.

Although Chen Xu used a clever way to expand the value of the currency to resolve some of the contradictions, and solved the circulation problem with certificates of deposit and redemption, the total amount of currency in circulation in the market is still equivalent to the coins minted, and has not issued an extra penny of the exchange bill, the original new Oriental Road issued 200 million exchange notes have not had time to be recovered by Huaxia Money Zhuang have been digested by the rapid development of the economy, that is to say, Huaxia Money Zhuang has made 200 million yuan in vain on the construction of Dongfang Road, And the imperial court has never asked, mainly because he doesn't understand this kind of divine operation, or even if he knows, he will treat it as if he doesn't know, and use an oriental road leveraged by Huaxia Qian Zhuang to make Daqin's commerce not know how many times prosperous, this money, the first emperor will only turn a blind eye and let Chen Xu take it as pocket money.

Therefore, money is an exciting and sensitive topic at any time, and the big and small things in the court will eventually come down to money, even if it is to supervise the imperial history to go to the countryside, you also have to receive twenty yuan a day for living expenses, you have to let him carry half a stone of grain or two horses of linen to the countryside, it is estimated that the imperial history of the supervision province and the local supervision of the imperial history office has all run out.

And as an elegant activity like visiting the garden that all men love, money is more gall and kidney, even if you pull a cart of cloth to the private room, it is very likely that someone will be kicked out.

Therefore, the benefits of monetary reform are obvious, that is, convenience, and the disadvantages are even more obvious, that is, there is no money, or there is not enough money to spend.

"Your Majesty, have you ever remembered that the minister said that he would build a sea ship and arrange for someone to go to Dongying?"

"Naturally remember!" Qin Shi Huang nodded.

"At the beginning of winter this year, the fleet that went to Yingzhou more than two years ago brought back a letter, saying that it would return to the Central Plains in the spring, and would also bring back 20,000 catties of silver and tens of thousands of catties of sulfur and other scarce things in the Central Plains. In this way, it can greatly increase the money supply of the people, and at the same time, it will also greatly alleviate the dilemma of insufficient coins in the market......"

"A tael of silver is worth a hundred dollars at the moment, and 20,000 catties of silver...... Hiss~" An official next to him suddenly took a sharp breath of cool air, and his eyes widened and exclaimed, "The total value has reached 32 million yuan~"

"Wow~" The civil and military officials who were looking at each other were in an uproar in an instant, and at the same time, many people showed excitement and even greed in their eyes.
