Chapter 61 Persuade Yingzheng to stop building Afang Palace

"When the papermaking technology is on the right track, we will hurry up and start purifying the refined salt, and this matter cannot be delayed!"

Ying Zheng explained in a straight way.

As those ministers said, Daqin's purification of inland salt can not only benefit the people, so that the people no longer worry about salt, but also use salt to contain other countries.

Salt is an essential element for the body every day, and if it is deficient, it will cause fatigue.

Therefore, salt is also very straining in other countries.

If Daqin has a huge amount of salt in his hands, he can trade with foreign countries, or he can use it to blackmail!

Very important to Daqin!

"Don't worry, father, after the paper is made, I will immediately find the craftsman who will be the supervisor to start refining ......!"

Xiao Zhengtai picked up the jade seal placed on the table and played with it in his hand, "But the purification of salt requires a lot of manpower, and only those who will be imprisoned are not enough!" ”

"That's easy to say!"

Ying Zheng handed Xiao Zhengtai a golden plaque with a fine red tassel rope underneath, with the order character engraved in a small seal on the front and Qin engraved on the back.

"What the hell?"

Xiao Zhengtai took it and looked at it repeatedly, but he didn't see any doorway.

Ying Zheng explained with a smile, "This is my troop transfer token, the role is equivalent to the tiger talisman, with this token, you can go to the army at any time to mobilize people and horses, and let them help purify!" ”

"Equivalent to a tiger talisman?"

This scared Xiao Zhengtai.

Doesn't that mean that you can mobilize your troops and horses at any time in the future?

This old guy is not afraid of his own rebellion?

That's right, he is now a five-year-old baby, how can he have the intention of rebellion?

Xiao Zhengtai opened his mouth and bit the token.

"Don't bite it, burp your teeth again, this token is made of pure gold, you have to put it away!"

Looking at Xiao Zhengtai's philistine appearance, Yingzheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Is it really golden?"

Xiao Zhengtai's eyes lit up suddenly.

If this is put in the future generations, how much will it have to be sold for!

"That's ...... nature!"

Ying Zheng nodded and continued: "If necessary, the craftsmen who will be the supervisors can also be dispatched at any time, but the construction period of Afang Palace cannot be delayed too much!" ”

"Father, why did you build Afang Palace?"

"Naturally, I want to use it as my Great Qin's new Dynasty Palace, and show my Great Qin's prestige!"

"Is there any damage to the Qilin Palace?"

"No!"

"Then why did you build Afang Palace? The construction of Afang Palace will inevitably cost the people and money, just for a majestic ...... that cannot be seen or touched? ”

Xiao Zhengtai stood on Yingzheng's table and said in a childish voice: "Wouldn't it be better if the money from the construction of Afang Palace was used to build embankments, improve farm tools, buy war horses, and increase the army?" The real prestige is not something that can be obtained by building a palace, but only when the country is strong and the people are rich can there be prestige! ”

"If the people are poor and the army armor is in tatters, no matter how beautiful the palace is, it will be repaired for others!"

"Since my father thinks that papermaking and refined salt purification are urgent, why delay the progress of Afang Palace? If the father insists on not delaying the progress of Afang Palace, then the minister will not be able to take people to study those techniques that benefit the country and the people! ”

In addition to papermaking, there are many things that he will take those craftsmen to study in the future.

There are fewer craftsmen, and the construction period on the side of Afang Palace will naturally be delayed!

"Uh......!"

Listening to Xiao Zhengtai's words, Ying Zheng pinched his chin and began to think.

You must know that in history, Feng Quji, Li Si and Feng Zheng once proposed to Hu Hai to stop the construction of Afang Palace, but they were all executed by Hu Hai.

Through this period of getting along, coupled with the trust of Ying Zheng to give him the gold medal, Xiao Zhengtai decided to give it a try.

He believes that Ying Zheng is a wise man, as long as he analyzes the pros and cons, he will definitely agree!

In an instant, time seemed to stand still, and the silence in the hall could be heard.

The little eunuch Jing Fu put his hands respectfully in front of him, lowered his head, and didn't dare to make a sound!

After a while, Ying Zheng suddenly laughed, "Haha, okay, it's up to you kid, the construction of Afang Palace will be suspended, as long as there is a need, all craftsmen will be at your disposal!" ”

Hearing this, Jingfu suddenly raised his head.

Your Majesty actually agreed?

Can His Majesty compromise on the affairs of Afang Palace?

It can be seen that the little boy has the weight in His Majesty's mind!

Xiao Zhengtai didn't expect Ying Zheng to agree so quickly, and immediately showed a cute smile, "Father Emperor Shengming, in fact, there is no need to mobilize too many craftsmen now, Afang Palace can continue, but it will inevitably be delayed in the future!" ”

"But my father can rest assured, when the papermaking and refined salt purification are on the right track, the sons can also recruit some craftsmen from the people and transfer all the prisoners back!"

"It doesn't matter! You're right, Daqin's majesty is not in a palace, but in the prosperity of the people! ”

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

Afang Palace was built in 212 BC, when Yingzheng was already deeply poisoned, and it may have been a bit confusing to make this decision.

And now, after taking Yijin Cleansing Pill, all the toxins in the body have been removed, and my mind has recovered very clearly, and I can make the right decision!

"By the way, last time you kid told me about improving the status of the craftsman, I have already considered it, and it can indeed be implemented, go back and write a detailed reform strategy, I will take it to discuss with the ministers, as long as the ministers agree to implement it immediately, it will be the first step of the reform of Great Qin!"

The court system of Great Qin has been going on for hundreds of years, and if you want to reform rashly, you will definitely be opposed, or even rebelled.

In order to avoid turmoil in the court, he decided to start with the last craftsman first!

"Thank you, Father!"

Xiao Zhengtai hurriedly thanked him.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, you have to have all those ministers nod, and you can also see those old guys, they are stubborn, and there must be many obstacles!"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said.

Although he is the emperor and many important decisions require his nod, he is not a faint monarch who insists on going his own way, and major matters must be discussed with his ministers.

What makes Xiao Zhengtai feel funny is that since this old guy has eaten the Yijin Washing Pill, his body is relaxed and energetic, and he even laughs at those ministers who are old guys.

He must have forgotten his previous state, right?

If it weren't for him, he would have been buried in the loess now, how could he still have a chance to eat his hot pot and fried skewers?

"Okay, don't laugh at you, kid, just do what you have to do!"

After saying all the things that should be said, Ying Zheng waved his hand towards Xiao Zhengtai.

"Thank you, Father!"

Ying Feiyu took the gold medal into his arms and jumped off the table at once.

"Goodbye to my father!"

Xiao Zhengtai waved his hand and ran out of the hall with a smoke.

"Swing ......?"

"What does that mean?"

Ying Zheng muttered in a low voice and waved his hand unconsciously.

"Do you mean waving your hand?"

"Hmmm! That's how it should be! ”
