After discussing with Hu Yu, Ying Zheng took Hu Yu out of the inner room, only to see the four ladies waiting for him in the study.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest, right?" Wen Xuan asked with a smile.

Yingzheng was indeed a little tired, but he still said: "The widow is indeed a little tired, but before resting, the widow wants to test the results of the previous few returns?" ”

The ladies seemed to understand something.

Ying Zheng looked at Wen Xuan, Lan Ting, and Min Ruo, and said with a wicked smile on his face: "Didn't you ask the widow for a son, come, sit down, let the widow take the pulse, and see if you are pregnant." ”

The three ladies blushed and did not dare to look up in shame, but they obediently walked over and sat down around the desk.

Among the three people, Min Ruo was the most generous, sat at the front, and then stretched out his right hand, pulled up his sleeve, and revealed his jade wrist.

Unlike last time, Ying Zheng has taken the pulse in a big way.

After a while, Ying Zhengluo shook his head in disappointment.

The next one was Wen Xuan, and after Ying Zheng finished speaking, he sighed softly.

The two ladies also felt regretful, sat on the side with their brows furrowed, and looked at the last Lan Ting.

Lan Ting stood up a little shyly and said, "Your Majesty, it's better not to call it, presumably the concubine ......."

"Oh, sit down." Hu Yu next to him snorted and pushed Lan Ting to Ying Zheng's side.

However, after a moment, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched: "There is, there is!" ”

"Really?" Lan Ting couldn't believe her ears, and her delicate little hands covered her delicate lips.

"There shouldn't be anything wrong with that." Ying Zheng said happily, "The widow went to find the imperial doctor." ”

After that, Ying Zheng walked out to find Doctor Song.

Not long after, Imperial Doctor Song was brought back by Yingzheng.

is similar to Hu Yu's situation last time, after taking Lan Ting's pulse, Imperial Doctor Song also said goodbye again and again, and also prescribed medicinal food to the three pregnant ladies respectively.

Ying Zheng is overjoyed, Lan Ting herself is also very happy, how can she not be happy when her wish is fulfilled?

However, the task of serving King Qin fell on the two ladies who had not yet fulfilled their wishes.

It seems that he is used to getting up early, and the next morning, Ying Zheng got up early and asked Zhao Gao to call Li Si to wait for him in the study.

"Sir, the widow has already discussed with Hu Yu, and she will help to maneuver around and buy black fire oil from King Zhao." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Then, he told Li Si a few conditions that he had made to King Zhao.

After hearing this, Li Si nodded slightly and said, "This bargaining chip is enough, but I wonder if the king has any other means to promote this?" ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Ying Zheng seemed to have guessed Li Si's thoughts.

"Weichen remembers that Lu Xiangbang has a very close relationship with Guo Kai, the current prime minister of Zhao State, why not use this point to break the situation." Lees said.

"That's a good idea, sir." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Father Zhong has also mentioned it a few times, it is this Guo Kai who received the money and silver from his father back then, which reduced the resistance of my mother and son to return to Qin, speaking of which, he is still half a benefactor of a widow." ”

Li Si smiled heartily and said, "Since he has such a relationship with the king, he should take advantage of Guo Kai's greed for money to promote this matter." What's more, we can also grasp some of Lu Xiang's handles. ”

"Another plan to kill two birds with one stone?" Ying Zheng's eyebrows furrowed.

Li Si nodded with a smile.

"That's a good idea." Ying Zheng smiled contemptuously, "Thinking that King Zhao reuses this person who is so greedy for money, how can there be a reason not to decay, even if the widow gives him several times more chips, presumably the Zhao Kingdom will not make a difference." ”

Unexpectedly, Li Si sighed lightly, shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty, if you think so one-sidedly, it will be a little superficial. ”

"Oh

？ Ying Zheng's eyebrows moved, "What does Mr. mean by this?" ”

"Raising greed is actually a means for the emperor to control people." Li Si said leisurely, "Weichen didn't mention it before, because the king has no royal power yet, so it's better to make up for this lesson now." ”

When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately became interested, and arched his hand and said, "I would like Mr. Wen to talk in detail." ”

Li Si stood up, paced a few steps, and said slowly: "Does the king know whose money this corrupt official is greedy for?" ”

Ying Zheng's heart tightened, it seems that Li Si is an old routine again, answering questions instead.

However, Ying Zheng still replied cheerfully: "Of course, it is the money of the people of the world." ”

Li Si shook his head slowly and said, "Definitely." ”

"Why?" Ying Zheng asked with a puzzled face.

"Let me ask the king, how much of the wealth of the whole world is accounted for by ordinary people, and what percentage is it by those eunuchs, clans, and magnates?" Lis's voice became cold.

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "Although the eunuchs and magnates are rich, their numbers are far less than that of ordinary people. ”

Li Si shook his head lightly and said, "Definitely." ”

Or is it right or wrong?

"Then the gentleman is going to tell me, in this world, what percentage of the wealth of the people and the powerful do they have?" Ying Zheng asked rhetorically.

Li Si looked at Yingzheng and said: "Previously, Weichen and the king discussed what the people in the world are most afraid of and what they want the most, and the biggest question is the ownership of the land, does the king remember?" ”

Ying Zheng nodded.

"So, if the landlords take back the land and stop the people from farming, the people will not have enough to eat." Li Si sighed, "In this way, the survival of the people will be very difficult, so what is the wealth?" ”

Ying Zheng was silent.

"So Weichen thinks that the wealth in the world is not more than 20% at most occupied by ordinary people." Lees said.

"Twenty percent?" Ying Zheng was surprised.

"Yes, this is still the proportion when the wind and rain are good and you live and work in peace and contentment." Lees said.

Ying Zheng was silent again.

"Again." Li Si said, "Do those corrupt officials have any intersection with the people? ”

"Yes." Ying Zheng replied, "The taxes paid by the people and the money and food obtained from disaster relief are all related to those corrupt officials. ”

Li Si still shook his head and said, "Definitely." ”

Ying Zheng was more and more confused by Li Si.

"The people's taxes and disaster relief money and food are overly sensitive categories, and the risks they take are extremely high." Li Si explained, "Most of the people who came up with this idea were petty officials and couldn't get on the stage. ”

My Healing Game

"And, who would do that to covet the twenty percent of the wealth, the one who has a little bit of power, at great risk?"

"Most of the real corrupt people use their power for personal gain, and use the power in their hands to make equal transactions with other powerful people, so that they can get what they need. Therefore, they have nothing to do with the people, or they have little to do with it. ”

"I think that Lu Xiangbang is well versed in this, otherwise how can he have a close relationship with that Guo Kai."

After that, Li Si took a sip of tea, probably because his mouth was dry, or to give Ying Zheng some time to think.

"The widow has figured it out." Ying Zheng then asked, "But I don't know why Mr. said that he wanted to be greedy?" ”

Li Si put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Then let's take King Zhao and Guo Kai as examples." Does Wang Shang really think that King Zhao is old and dizzy, and he misused Guo Kai, who was misbehaving, accumulating wealth and corruption? ”

Ying Zheng's face was stunned: "Is it not?" ”

"Definitely." Lees said.

Ying Zheng: "......"

"I think that Guo Kai can serve as the prime minister of Zhao Guoguo, and his talent and insight must be outstanding, which is a premise." Li Si analyzed, "The more important thing is King Zhao."

I know how to control people. ”

Ying Zheng pricked up his ears, and the more he listened, the more serious he became.

"Think about it, the king, can Guo Kai dare to squander the money he is greedy for?" Lees asked.

Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "If he still wants to stay in the temple for a long time, he will be as low-key and restrained as possible, just like the middle father, build a treasure pavilion by himself, and hide all his net worth." ”

"Yes, as long as he doesn't want to die, he will definitely do it." Li Si said, "Just like Lu Xiangbang's Treasure Pavilion, it is safer than the treasury, Your Majesty, right?" ”

Ying Zheng nodded.

"Then since it is so safe, and the corrupt do not dare to spend it at will, what is the difference between this and the treasury?" Li Si said, "What's more, with this handle, the monarch can be punished for the crime of this corrupt official at any time, so that he will never dare to create a rebellion, but will spare no effort to be on duty." Are you right, Your Majesty? ”

Ying Zheng's brows trembled, as if the way of governing officials he had established since childhood had been subverted.

Li Si took another sip of tea and continued: "Besides, if the people have many complaints and dispose of them, they can not only praise the monarch with great pleasure, but also confiscate their private property and enrich the treasury, so why not do it?" ”

Ying Zheng's mouth opened wide, but he couldn't make a sound.

"In this way, as a monarch, he did not harm the interests of the people, and gathered the money of the powerful in one place, and also controlled the important ministers of the temple, as for the things that offended people, they were all done by corrupt people, so many benefits, it is really unstoppable." Lees sighed.

Ying Zheng sat there, carefully recalling every word Li Si said.

After a long time, Ying Zhengcai sighed and said softly: "I really can't imagine that this emperor's skill of controlling people has so many mysteries, but few people think that they can't do it." ”

"It doesn't necessarily suit every monarch either." "It doesn't necessarily fit every era, and you have to have the right people to be corrupt." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "The widow understands, this is just a means, but it is not a strategy that must be used. ”

"Not bad." Li Si smiled and said.

"Then Mr. is going to talk about how to use the middle father to manipulate Guo Kai, and how to grasp the middle father's handle?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Envoy." "The focus is still on the envoys. ”

"The envoy sent by the middle father must be his confidant, and he has dealings with Zhao and Guo Kai."

"Not bad." Li Si's tone was quite firm and said, "The king can secretly give the envoy some more silver taels and order him to give Guo Kai an extra amount." If the envoy gave it, then the matter was more certain, if he didn't give it, and filled his pocket, then he could implicate Lu Xiang. ”

"Hehe......" Ying Zheng said with a smile, "worthy of being a gentleman, it's really exhaustive!" ”

"Then the king, let's go our separate ways?" Lees asked.

"Good!" Ying Zheng responded, "You go to Jingyao to be responsible for moving, and the widow goes to find the middle father." ”

After agreeing on a strategy, the two men went their separate ways.

Ying Zheng came to the Lu Mansion and said the whole thing again.

Lü Buwei planned with Yingzheng in detail again, and personally wrote a letter to Guo Kai.

Ying Zheng asked Lü Buwei who he wanted to send as an envoy to Zhao State.

Lü Buwei gave a name, Bai Ping.

Bai Ping is a member of the Bai family of the old family, and it is said that he still has some connections with Bai Qi, and is currently serving as the Zhongshu Commander in the court.

Ying Zheng said with a smile that if Bai Ping can handle this matter, there will be a heavy reward.

Lu Buwei just smiled and didn't take it to heart.

didn't know that Yingzheng's bait had been found.

I just don't know if it's my own fish or someone else's fish.
