Chapter 338: Windfall

"The three of you are the first batch of candidates for the trial......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying's tone paused, and he looked down at Li Chen, Zhuo Yi and Xu Zhi who were in a mood.

"Do you know the weight of the word trial? If you can do your best to satisfy Your Majesty, then the cabinet system is very likely to become a norm, and if you can't satisfy Your Majesty, then this cabinet will probably be the last cabinet, and you, as participants in the failed experiment, will not have to think about your future in the future......"

Zhao Ying's words, like a basin of cold water, were poured directly on the heads of the three people, making the blood that had begun to boil slowly calm down.

"Therefore, I specially ask Your Majesty for your life and give you a chance to choose."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying's eyes calmly examined the three talents who stood out in the first imperial examination system of Great Qin, and his tone was indifferent, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.

"That's the opportunity to enter, or to exit. Remember, if you choose to quit now, then if I haven't mentioned this matter to you, what should you do in the future, or what you do, there will be no burden and impact, but once you choose to enter, then there is no advance or retreat, and you must make an example for Lonely! ”

Zhao Ying looked around at the three of them.

"The cabinet, originally set up to share the burden of His Majesty, and also set up for brainstorming, is a rare common sense of the Great Qin political system, I don't want to, this cabinet, starting from you, also from you."

Looking at the calm and waveless eyes of the emperor's eldest grandson, the hearts of the three of them became more and more solemn.

Cabinet members, you can draft the notes of various places!

This is the right to make decisions on behalf of His Majesty, although this draft opinion is only a preliminary opinion for the Emperor's reference, and the final decision is still determined by the Emperor's approval.

But all three of them are smart people, and they don't understand the key to this position.

That is the right to advise on the affairs of the imperial court!

Don't care about anything, you have to go through your eyes first, don't care about anything, you are qualified to take the lead in putting forward your opinion to the emperor. In other words, that is, the power to participate in politics.

In this era, that is the power of the prime minister!

Moreover, it is a first-hand opinion.

Most likely, it was before the Prime Minister!

Sometimes, many things are in a thought, and it is this line of opportunity that is grabbed.

However, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun is also very clear that as a trial court authority, these first members of the cabinet will inevitably take great risks.

It's a double-edged sword.

However, once you can do it well, you will definitely benefit immensely.

Thinking of this, Li Chen, who has always been low-key and calm and does not like to compete with others, took the lead in stepping out and bowed solemnly.

"Minister Li Chen, I will do my best to live up to the high expectations of Your Majesty and the emperor's eldest grandson!"

Unlike Legalism, the status of Taoism in the current Great Qin Court is precarious, and it has long been completely marginalized, especially the last time, with the return of Xu Fu, the Pseudo-Dan case broke out, and the Taoist line was almost wiped out.

Naturally, Taoism cannot be equated with Fangshi, nor can it be equated with Taoism, which gradually emerged between the two Han Dynasty.

In fact, to be precise, in this era, Taoist priests only refer to people with high morals, and this group of warlocks who believe in ghosts and gods, refine pills, and pursue immortality call themselves "Fang Xian Dao", which can only be regarded as a line of Taoism.

But that's also a vein!

Fangshi suffered a heavy blow, and Taoism was greatly implicated, and before, Li Si proposed to expel the Hundred Schools of Thought, and the influence of Taoism in the court was declining.

Li Chen, a new talent, has become an extremely important banner of Taoism in the court.

Xu Zhi can retreat, because behind him is a Legalist with a strong foundation, and he is Li Si, who is in full swing, but he can't, as soon as he retreats, the influence of Taoism in the court will suffer a heavy blow again.

Moreover, being elected to the cabinet this time is very likely to be an opportunity for Taoists.

Li Chen made a decision.

Zhuo Yi and Xu Zhi also understood this truth, and suddenly stepped forward and bowed.

"I am willing to do my best to share your Majesty's worries!"

Seeing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile slightly, and said with his head bowed.

"Good!"

He didn't lie just now, and he wouldn't pursue them because they retreated, but if the three of them retreated, and they didn't even have the courage to take on this heavy responsibility, then there was no need to cultivate.

"You don't need to think too much, just take responsibility boldly in everything, judge impartially, and have your own majesty and loneliness behind you to support you!"

With the personal promise of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, the morale of the three of them was immediately boosted, and they felt much more confident.

……

After getting a castrated version of the small cabinet, Zhao Ying couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, with the help of Li Chen, Zhuo Yi and Xu Zhi, the workload of the First Emperor will inevitably drop significantly, at least at the level of his time in Xianyang.

It will not let the First Emperor have any physical problems because of overwork.

When he left the palace and saw that it was still early, he paused and turned around and went directly to the Daqin Royal Charity Hall. With the foundation of the Zhuo family and the assistance of Zhuo Pei, Zhao Ying's iron-smelting workshop was carried out very smoothly.

Zhao Gao and Zhou Yin have successfully established a set of new iron-smelting workshops covering an area of hundreds of acres in accordance with their own plans in Linqiong.

According to the feedback back, a blast furnace has been built in the new workshop, and the Zhuo family has also transferred a group of excellent craftsmen, and by the end of this month, it can be officially put into use.

The Sao steward is also going well, and the letter from yesterday has been in accordance with his own instructions, after several processes, and finally successfully screened out the first batch of anthracite in Daqin.

Today, large-scale recruitment is underway and large-scale production is begins.

For these, Daqin has its own set of extremely mature production lines, and its efficiency far exceeds that of all countries in the world. I didn't know it, but now I know the trick, and if I want to produce, the efficiency is really high.

Especially nowadays, labor prices are ridiculously low.

In some places, where you don't even need money and can manage two meals a day, there are people who want to get a job in the mines.

What's more, the coal mine of the emperor's eldest grandson has always been well-paid?

But despite this, the cost of anthracite is still almost negligible.

On the east side of the river, the iron-smelting workshop, which is still under the name of the Zhuo family, has taken the lead in using anthracite and produced the first batch of ironware.

Compared to the previous coke, the quality is even better!

Zhao Ying has already asked people to set up a new iron-smelting workshop near Xianyang. Unlike the iron-smelting workshop in cooperation with the Zhuo family, this workshop will be completely independent of the imperial court and directly belong to the royal family.

To be exact, there is only one owner of this workshop, and that is Emperor Daqin!

Zhao Ying has already designed a set, in this era, the process of processing hundreds of steel, and in the future, this workshop will become the birthplace of the Great Qin Divine Weapon.

Today, this workshop is being carried out in a very low-key manner under the operation of the steward.

Compared with Zhang Liang and others, there are some things that Zhao Ying is still more accustomed to believing in the two little followers who followed him in the past.

On the Lingnan side, the pious business is thriving, and the scale of the spice business is getting bigger and bigger, with Meng Yi and Jiang Lu escorting, and an extremely mature business network has been formed.

When he comes back, he will sit in Xianyang, and be in charge of the intelligence network laid along with this trade road.

Hexi is thriving, with Chen Ping and Xiao He and others here, there is no need to worry.

On the Western Regions side, there is not much of a problem.

Liu Bang's house, maybe it can't fight a tough battle, but if you want to stay in the Western Regions, no one wants to do anything to him, and it is a little difficult to continue to open up the situation, but there should be no problem with stability.

As for Xiang Yu......

Forget it, don't mention it, it's a little fierce.

Morton was alone, and he was about to be unable to support it.

Now what needs to be considered is not the problem of the Huns, but whether this product will have ambitions because of this. For this possible ending, Zhao Ying can't say what kind of feelings it is.

But until you come back yourself, it's not a big problem.

Now, what makes him most uneasy is this Great Qin Royal Charity Hall.

This kind of charity is like a double-edged sword, if it is used well, if it can indeed do something practical for the people, it will naturally reap a large wave of favorability for Daqin, but if there is a problem, it will really be self-defeating and cause a lot of trouble.

At the critical turning point of Daqin, he would never allow a little negative news to appear in this charity hall that he deliberately named the four words of Daqin royalty.

When Zhao Ying arrived, it was already past the unitary hour, and it was almost four or five o'clock in the later generations.

The door of the charity hall is open, and people come and go inside, each busy.

Seeing Zhao Ying coming in, someone specially greeted him.

"This strong man, may I ask what you are doing here?"

As he spoke, he deliberately looked up and down what Zhao Ying was wearing, and saw that this product was brightly dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, so he gave up the idea of whether this product was coming to ask for help.

However, the face is more respectful.

"This nobleman, but he is ready to donate to the church and do good deeds?"

This man looked respectful, neither humble nor arrogant.

"I'm sorry, if it's a donation, then you can run in vain, our Charity Hall is the Daqin Royal Charity Hall, which is directly funded by the royal family to help those poor people who have no food and clothing, and does not accept private donations......"

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and he was a little surprised.

"Are there a lot of people who come to donate to our charity hall?"

Zhao Ying simply followed this person's words and asked, he only knew that around the New Year this year, his charity hall spent less money, but he really didn't pay attention to whether anyone came to donate.

"A lot!"

Speaking of which, this little guy who worked was quite proud to straighten his chest.

"There were very few years ago, almost none, but after the Chinese New Year, many people took the initiative to come to the door, willing to contribute money and food, donate money and materials, and follow the emperor and grandson to help those poor people - think about it, they must have seen that our charity hall was really planning for those poor people, and was inspired by His Royal Highness the emperor grandson, so they took the initiative to come and wanted to do some good things together......"

Zhao Ying: ......

October 1st to start increasing?

This is inspired by me, this aspect is inspired by the queen's mother!

On October 1, after the establishment of the First Emperor, he officially became the eldest grandson of the First Emperor, and the future situation will become more and more exciting, so some people want to come here to test the water and see if they can make a wave of curves to save the country.

However, with these speculations, he didn't intend to say much to the low-level guy in front of him, but shook his head with interest.

"You charity hall, don't you want to give money?"

"That's nature! Don't you look at who's standing behind our charity hall......"

Zhao Ying deliberately talked to him, followed his words, and nodded his head.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm confused - but, in our charity hall, there are really so many people vying to come over and donate money and materials?"

Hearing that Zhao Ying dared to question this, the little guy was immediately unhappy.

The smile on his face disappeared visibly.

"Hmph, that's natural, don't say anything else, just today, there are no less than ten cases, and there are even many people, who come directly with money - don't believe it, say others, I'm afraid you don't know, the eighteenth prince knows, the steward of his house, just pull the money over......"

Speaking of which, this little guy who works is proud.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He never imagined that Huhai Mansion would also send someone to his charity hall to send money.

"Do you know, the eighteenth prince only has copper coins, and he has pulled three or four carts! The steward of his house said that the eighteenth prince is also a member of the royal family, and this money is just a part of the eighteenth prince's mind - however, our Zhou steward is not here, and those of us who do things dare not call the shots, and later Mr. Fan Zeng, a friend of the Zhou steward, said that we can't receive the money of the eighteenth prince, so we refused......"

This little guy was originally talking about it.

But as he spoke, he couldn't help but gradually stop. Because, he found that the big man standing in front of him was gradually dull, with an extremely strange smile on his face.

"Who did you just say? Fan Zeng? ”

The little guy couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that after talking for a long time, the big man in front of him who was richly dressed and had an extraordinary temperament only paid attention to this.

I was immediately annoyed.

"Yes, Mr. Fan is a friend of our Zhou steward who specially invited him back to help......

Zhao Ying: !!!!!

"Mr. Fan Zeng you just mentioned, how old is he and where is ......?"

Hearing Zhao Ying ask about this, the little guy's eyes were already a little impatient.

If it weren't for Zhao Ying's extraordinary bearing and uncertainty about his identity, it is estimated that he would have turned around and ignored him a long time ago, but even so, it was only perfunctory.

"Mr. Fan looks like he should be fifty or sixty years old, as for where he is from, these of us who are villains who do things, who knows this, but listening to the accent, it looks like a ...... from the south."

Zhao Ying: ......

I became more and more suspicious in my heart, this Mr. Fan Zeng was the Mr. Fan Zeng that he would know in later generations!

In the past, he had naturally heard of Zhou Yin's goods, spending his own money, pulling people at random in Tianxiang Pavilion, and inviting people to eat and drink, but this kind of thing, he just laughed it off, where would he really care who Zhou Yin invited?

What he wants is Zhou Yin, not a cat or dog he casually invited.
