Chapter 42: Wang Wei Emerges

"Just change ...... Not for sale? Ying Zheng obviously didn't understand what Li Si meant.

Li Si nodded and explained, "First of all, after the king has cultivated the second generation of five grain seeds, he must establish them as unique to the Wang family. No one, including important officials of the court, may hide, cultivate, or sell for personal gain. ”

"Second, only the people who own their own land can farm. In the case of cultivation, grain must be exchanged for the original seed, and the proportion of replacement is set according to the type of seed. Moreover, all taxes are calculated in the proportion of replacement, and the people who cultivated the original crops no longer pay any taxes. If there is a person who expropriates and extorts money, he will be severely punished according to law. ”

"In addition, in the event of a natural disaster, the people who cultivated the original seeds were to be replenished by the imperial court for all the original seeds they had suffered, and the amount of the original seeds compensated was multiplied several times the amount of relief grain. The people who did not cultivate the original seeds were not given relief food. This move will enable the people to cultivate the original seeds with the greatest degree of security and the least loss, and second, they will greatly increase the degree of their active participation, and third, they will be able to avoid as much as possible the problem of enriching their own pockets and prevent unnecessary losses in the DPRK and China. ”

"The end result is that as long as the king continues to cultivate the original seeds, he can exchange for a steady stream of grain, and the treasury will inevitably become more and more full. The common people can cultivate with peace of mind, even if there is a natural disaster, they will not starve, and there are more original seeds supplemented by the DPRK and the central government, so that they can be cultivated again the next year. ”

This is the new policy of primitive cultivation proposed by the grass people. The only ones who have lost profits are those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. After saying that, Li Si let out a sigh of relief.

Ying Zheng also exhaled a long breath, and finally digested what Li Si said: "The new deal that Mr. said is really wonderful, even if there is no original seed, using ordinary seeds to implement this new deal is bound to enrich the people and strengthen the country." ”

Li Si smiled and said: "Don't forget, the premise of what the grass people said is that the people have their own land in order to implement this new policy, otherwise, when the crops are planted halfway and the land is taken away by others, how can they cooperate with the king to cultivate the original seeds." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "The widow knows what to do." This new policy was fully implemented when the original species were cultivated. As for who is in charge of this...... Since Meng Yi is the supervisor of military rations, let him take the role. ”

Lees smiled and nodded.

At this time, Zhao Gao walked in and said softly, "Your Majesty, Princess Nansu, please see me." ”

"She's coming to the widow?" Ying Zheng asked.

Zhao Gao said: "Princess Nansu said that she came to deliver the decree. ”

"Oh?" Ying Zheng said to Zhao Gao, "You wait a minute. ”

Ying Zheng said to Li Si again: "The widow has one last question to ask Mr. ”

Li Si arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

"In the matter of Wei Wei, should the widow send Cheng Huan to fight as the boss?" Ying Zheng asked.

Regarding Cheng Huan's request for war, Ying Zheng is actually not without a choice. Since Cheng Huan has to fight, he can also choose an experienced general as the commander, and Cheng Huan can be used as a deputy marshal or deputy general to accumulate some battlefield experience.

Li Si said unhurriedly: "That grass man also used one sentence to explain his opinion. ”

"Sir, please." Ying Zheng raised a hand and made a gesture of please.

"This time to attack Wei, if Cheng Huan is ordered to be the commander, it can be; If you don't appoint Cheng Huan as the head coach, it's better not to cut down. Li Si said solemnly.

"Why?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly and asked.

Li Si smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people have already said it, and it can only be summed up in one sentence. ”

Ying Zheng couldn't understand why Li Si said this, but it was inconvenient to ask, and said: "Since Mr. doesn't want to say it clearly, let's ask the widow to think about it for a while." ”

Li Si bowed his hand and said, "The grass people will retire first." ”

Yingzheng got up and said politely: "Sir, go slowly." ”

Zhao Gaogang was about to send Li Si out, but was stopped by Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng walked up to Zhao Gao and whispered in a low voice.

Zhao Gao bowed his head and listened, nodded again and again, and then bowed and went out.

Li Si stepped back and went out of the door, met Princess Nansu who was walking inside outside the door, and after bowing to Princess Nansu, he hurriedly left the dormitory.

After a short time, Zhao Gao came to the door, sent Princess Nansu to the door of the study, then turned around and walked quickly in the direction of the outside of the palace.

Princess Nansu looked at Zhao Gao's back, and said in her heart Why are Li Si and Zhao Gao so in a hurry, mysterious and mysterious, could something have happened? Princess Nansu, who didn't know why, walked quickly into the outer door of the study.

After Princess Nansu entered the door, she bowed lightly and said, "Nansu has seen the king. ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "With the widow, don't be polite, if you don't come, the widow will have to look for you." ”

Princess Nansu looked shy and said, "Your Majesty, Nansu came this time to help spread the word. ”

Ying Zheng motioned for Nansu to sit down and speak, and then while picking up the water utensils to pour water for Nansu, he asked, "Whose word is it?" ”

Nan Su took the kettle, poured it full for Yingzheng first, and then poured himself a glass of water, and said, "Needless to say, of course it's Grandmother Huayang." ”

"What's the matter with Grandmother Wang?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Huayang's grandmother said that she will also participate in this court meeting." After speaking, Princess Nansu picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

"Oh?" Ying Zheng's gaze moved away from Princess Nansu and looked out the window, with a thoughtful look.

Mrs. Huayang has not participated in political affairs for many years, and this time she wants to participate in the court meeting, most of which is related to the matter of Cheng Huan being in charge.

"Is that all there is to it?" Ying Zheng asked.

Princess Nansu nodded: "Grandmother Huayang only said this sentence, and didn't say anything else, so she asked Nansu to come over and pass the word." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It just so happens that there are a few things in the court, and I also need to discuss them with Grandmother Wang. ”

Princess Nansu leaned in the direction of Yingzheng and whispered, "Your Majesty, Nansu wants to go and see Sister Hu Yu, can you?" ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "What, I haven't seen her for two days, so I miss her?" Don't worry, when you enter the palace in the future, you can see each other every day. ”

Princess Nansu turned around shyly, and a blush quickly jumped up her cheeks: "Your Majesty, you are teasing Nansu again." ”

"Hahaha, okay, the widow sent you over, and it just so happened that the widow also had something to tell you." Ying Zheng stood up and said.

What Ying Zheng wants to say is naturally a matter of postponement of the wedding.

"And." Princess Nansu turned around again and looked at Ying Zheng, "Nansu wants to go back to the Chu State Mission to live for two days, after all, it is not a trivial matter to be framed and assassinated by King Qin, and after discussing with the envoys, Nansu wants to tell his father as soon as possible." ”

Ying Zheng patted his forehead fiercely.

Before that, he asked Princess Nansu and Princess Hu Yu to inform their respective fathers through envoys that Yingzheng was assassinated on a trip. After returning to Xianyang, Princess Nansu went back to Huayang Palace directly, and she had not seen the envoys of Chu until now, but she postponed political affairs.

"Let's go, go see Hu Yu, and then the widow will send you back to the Chu State Mission Station." Ying Zheng said.

Zhao Gao was not in the palace, and someone prepared a horse, and Yingzheng took Princess Nansu, as well as the second and third watches, and rode to the outside of the city.

After sending Princess Nansu to the envoy camp of the Chu State, Ying Zheng went to the Korean embassy again.

The next day, LΓΌ Buwei came to tell him that the time for the court meeting had been set, and it was early the next morning.

On the day of the court meeting, Ying Zheng went to Huayang Palace first.

Ying Zheng asked Mrs. Huayang for peace, and the two ancestors and grandchildren came to the main hall together and sat side by side on the throne.

The ministers have been waiting in the temple for a while.

The court meeting was still presided over by LΓΌ Buwei.

The first thing discussed was the assassination of Spring Hunt.

LΓΌ Buwei told everyone the general story.

All the ministers were amazed.

Although he has heard about this matter for a long time, the rumors are not as convincing as those he has heard with his own ears, not to mention that Lu Buwei has always been full of witty words.

After LΓΌ Buwei finished speaking, he shouted an order, and several guards escorted up the two male prisoners.

The two male prisoners knelt on the ground, their heads bowed, looking like they were waiting for trial.

Meng Tian stood up and said loudly: "These two people are the two people who met the robbers and were let go by the robbers during the assassination of the king. The assassins were all from the Wei State, and the purpose of assassinating the king was to provoke a war between Qin and Chu. ”

Previously, Zhao Gao obeyed Ying Zheng's orders, so he quickly went to Meng Tian and asked about the whereabouts of the two assassins, only to learn that Meng Tian had captured them and brought them back to Xianyang.

LΓΌ Buwei looked at the two assassins kneeling on the ground, and said with an angry face: "Although these two people don't know who is behind the scenes, but the prime minister believes that whether there is the participation of the Wei royal family or not, the assassination is a fact, so after the king and the prime minister discussed, they decided to send troops to attack Wei from now on!" ”。

Everyone had foreseen this outcome, so they weren't surprised, but just nodded to each other.

The opinions of the Wei were very unanimous, which was also a manifestation of the self-confidence accumulated by the Qin state over the years, and if the monarch wanted to send troops to attack any country, there was basically no objection.

At this time, Changping Jun stood up and bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this time to attack Wei, Weichen is willing to lead the army to go, and he will kill the Wei State to cut the city and divide the land to make amends for his crimes." ”

Before Ying Zheng could speak, another person suddenly stood out from the crowd, seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was wearing a battle armor and was full of heroism.

This person is Cheng Huan.

"Brother Wang, please take command of the battle, and hope that Brother Wang will be gracious." Cheng Huan arched her hand, bowed down and said.

The ministers didn't expect Cheng Huan to suddenly stand up and talk about it. A glimmer of light flashed in Mrs. Huayang's eyes, and she looked at Yingzheng again.

"Hehe, although Brother Wang is less than ten years old, he has great ambitions and commendable courage, and he is worthy of being a boy of the Ying family. How many soldiers and horses do you need for this battle? Ying Zheng said with a smile.

As soon as these words landed, everyone present, including Lu Buwei, Mrs. Huayang, and even Cheng Huan was stunned.

Although LΓΌ Buwei was in favor of letting Cheng Huan take command of the expedition, in the court discussion, the minimum procedure was to have it, no matter who asked for war, the king would first ask the opinions of the ministers, and then compare the several people who asked for war who was more suitable for the war, and then he could decide who would be in command and who would be the deputy general. And in today's situation, Ying Zheng actually omitted all the links and directly asked Cheng Huan how many soldiers and horses he needed.

Mrs. Huayang was also very surprised, because Yingzheng's attitude before was not very willing to let Cheng Huan take charge, and the speed of the change made it difficult for her to adapt for a while. The purpose of her coming to participate in the court meeting was also to support Cheng Huan's pocket, but she thought that it was a little redundant.

Changpingjun was also embarrassed to be left aside and directly ignored.

Cheng Huan was stunned for a moment, but then came back to her senses and said, "Brother Chen's expedition...... Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are enough. ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "Since Wei dares to assassinate, it must have been well prepared, not to mention, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhao and Han will not support." 50,000 horses is definitely not enough. The outnumbered people allocated 80,000 horses to you, and this battle must be won. ”

Cheng Huan knelt on one knee and replied: "The younger brother receives the king's order, if he is not victorious, he is willing to raise his head to see him." ”

"Zhao Gao, I plan to order Chang'an Jun Cheng to be in command of Wei." Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and said, "Another order, Cheng Huan's division Fan Yu is the deputy general, Changping Jun is the supervising army, tomorrow the troops and horses will be allocated, and the troops will be sent to attack Wei in three days." ”

"Slaves, obey the king's orders." Zhao Gao said, turned around and came to the desk to draft the purpose.

"Brother Xie Wang." Cheng Huan knelt down and bowed.

Lu Buwei suddenly thought of something, stepped forward, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if the edict is issued, this Wang Xi ......."

"Father Zhong doesn't have to worry." Ying Zheng said leisurely, "This Wang Xi is placed here by the widow, and it can't be lost." ”

Lu Buwei looked surprised. What suddenly occurred to him was that Wang Xi was kept by the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji was not in Xianyang, so if the decree was issued, it would be very embarrassing to not be able to cover Wang Xi.

I saw Zhao Gao unhurriedly take out Wang Xi, put it aside, and continue to write his will.

The ministers were all surprised when they saw Wang Xi, but they didn't dare to discuss.

The eyes of the audience were focused on Zhao Gao, including Mrs. Huayang.

Ying Zhengxuan showed the royal seal on this occasion, and he also wanted to show the majesty of the king, and it was not for nothing that he was appointed so simply.

Mrs. Huayang came to the chamber to participate in the court meeting, and she had already made her position clear, if Mrs. Huayang insisted on it, then whoever objected might be refuted, and the final result would be to appoint Cheng Huan as the commander-in-chief. What's more, Li Si's suggestion is to be listened to, since it must be defeated, it is better to push the boat down the river and fulfill Mrs. Huayang and Cheng Huan.

After writing the will, Zhao Gao covered the jade seal, and then read it on the spot.

Cheng Huan accepted the order, thanked her, and stood back in her original position with a satisfied smile on her face.

Ying Zheng said loudly: "Since the matter of destroying Wei has been decided, let's discuss the next important matter." ”

As soon as Yingzheng's voice fell, Zhao Gao shouted outside the door: "Bring people in." ”
