Speaking of this, the First Emperor said lightly.

"Are you waiting for today, do you want to open your eyes for those traitors?"

As soon as these words came out, several imperial historians who originally wanted to fight on the basis of reason instantly saw sweat on their foreheads, bowed their bodies, and didn't dare to raise their heads, they were brave, not stupid, where could they not hear the heavy murderous intent in the words of the first emperor.

It's not a question of martyrdom or not, but this crime, if it is deducted, it is not them who will die.

"The ministers don't dare, the ministers are afraid, the ministers are just worried about the country's society, and they are doing their best to share their worries for Your Majesty......"

I don't know if their last few words moved the First Emperor, they lowered their heads, only felt that a long time had passed, and finally waited for the faint voice of the First Emperor.

"I asked you to supervise the hundred officials, not to let you supervise my eldest grandson - let's go down first......"

Hearing this, several royal officials suddenly weakened their legs, as if they had been pardoned.

"Minister, retire—"

……

Looking at the disgraced faces and the embarrassed figures of the imperial historians gradually walked away, the first emperor turned his head to look at the black who was standing beside him, and shook his head gently.

"These fools, although they are stupid, I can't leave him a court that is too clean - in the future, he will always kill some people, belittle some people, and also need to leave some people, so that this court has more different voices......"

Speaking of this, the First Emperor seems to be explaining, and he also seems to be talking to himself.

"Although Ying'er is different from ordinary young people, but too young, and too smooth, although I believe in his ability very much, but around a person, if there are people who are close to their ears, or flatterers, after a long time, people will inevitably get carried away, be blinded by others, or be kidnapped and coerced by their own opinions......"

Speaking of this, he shook his head slightly, stood up, and said softly as he walked towards the apse.

"These people, I can leave a few thorns for him......"

As long as there is no rebellion, right and wrong are sometimes not so important, the important thing is that there must be a different voice in this court, and a different voice must be allowed, otherwise it will not be far from destruction.

Hei bowed silently behind him, his expression becoming more and more reverent.

"Your Majesty is really well-intentioned......"

The First Emperor shook his head slightly, subconsciously stopped, and looked in the direction of Huiji County.

"In the past, I was always worried that my latecomers were not wise enough, tough enough, domineering enough, ruthless enough, decisive enough, worried that after I left, they would not be able to control the world, but now with Ying'er, I am always worried that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not be able to pull him, and I am afraid that after a long time, he will be rigid and self-serving, and he will not be able to listen to different voices......"

With that, he turned around and said with a wry smile.

"You say, have you really been getting old lately? In recent days, I have always been restless, suffering from gains and losses, and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night inexplicably, and it is difficult to sleep, and I can't help but think about these things behind me......"

Hei bowed, not daring to look into the eyes of the First Emperor.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, I think it's because the emperor's eldest grandson has been away from Xianyang for a long time, and Your Majesty misses it a little......"

Emperor Shi looked at his old companion who had been with him when he was in Zhao in the past, but now his sideburns were gray, and his body was no longer as tall as before, his eyes flashed inexplicably, and he didn't continue the topic.

Instead, he suddenly changed his mind and mentioned it.

"Hu Hai's rebel, how is it lately......

Hei's tone was steady and meticulous.

"Back to Your Majesty, the eighteenth prince is still grounded in the mansion recently, but his spirit seems to be much better than before, and he is no longer drunk all day long, I heard that in recent days, he has begun to re-study the homework left by Zhao Gao, and he has also begun to care about the coal business with His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson and his cooperation......"

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

"The wife of the eighteenth prince and the wife of the fourth prince seem to be getting closer, and they often go to the fourth prince's mansion for banquets recently......

The First Emperor's expression was as usual, and he didn't see any joy or anger, but nodded slightly noncommittally. As if he had suddenly thought of something, he casually mentioned it in a casual tone.

"I remember that the two children of the rebel son should also have reached the age of enlightenment, in a few days, you go and send them to the new school in Ying'er, let them study together......

The black body paused slightly, but instantly returned to normal, bowing down.

"No!"

The First Emperor nodded slightly, as if he had finished dealing with some trivial matter. The tone is as usual to bring up another big thing.

"Where is the fleet on the fourth son's side now, and when will it be ......there?"

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the itinerary, it should have passed the Hangu Pass at this time, if there is no accident, it should be in these two days."

Speaking of which, Hei Gong asked for instructions.

"Your Majesty has to arrange for people to go to meet ......"

When the First Emperor heard that Gongzigao's fleet was about to arrive, a trace of heartfelt excitement finally appeared on his tired face, and after a little silence, he ordered in a brisk tone.

"Spread my will, let the cabinet Li Chen, Xu Zhi and Zhuo Yi as soon as possible circle the people who will welcome them, although the fourth prince did not seek the elixir of immortality for me, but the expedition overseas, conquer the barbarians, that is also the merit of opening up the territory, the gift cannot be abolished, and the merit cannot be rewarded......"

What he didn't expect was that there really were two big islands on the sea, and the territory was so big that even a county was not inferior.

In particular, Nafuso Island, although the so-called gods were not found, it was rich in silver, and this time alone, nearly 100,000 taels were shipped back!

If you can continue to mine -

The First Emperor had already begun to silently estimate the huge role that these silvers could play in Great Qin after entering Great Qin.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face couldn't help but become even brighter, and even the silver threads between his temples seemed to have a glow.

"Go, notify Zuo Prime Minister Li Si, Nei Shi Teng and Shaofu Shi Lu to come over to discuss the matter, and the cabinet Li Chen, Xu Zhi, and Zhuo Yi will continue to attend the ......"

Hei Shen promised to go down and arrange it in person.

After Hei left, the First Emperor retracted the smile on his face, came back to his senses, walked back to his table, and pulled out the "private letter" written by Zhao Ying to himself again.

Looking at the words above, his eyes couldn't help but show a smile of extreme satisfaction, his grandson, really worthy of being able to put forward "for heaven and earth, for the people, for the saints, for the eternal peace" of the person, only the weight of this "private letter" is almost comparable to Li Si, who proposed the county system.

“…… The so-called wind rises at the end of Ping, and disasters often accumulate in the slightest. Although the system of counties and counties is established, the post of the elder of the pavilion is also educated in the countryside, but it is mostly governed by people, and the policy of the imperial court cannot be subdivided into Qin law, and these hidden dangers are almost equivalent to holding Tai'a, giving the position to the chaotic people, and the grandson has been in chaos all the way ...... the countryside."

The First Emperor looked at this letter called "private letter", which was actually a sparse letter, and his eyes had an unconcealed appreciation, especially when he proposed to let the county government delegate part of the functions to the local charity hall, there was a smile in his eyes.

"This dog thing, when I went out, I learned to take a detour......"

As he read, he pondered the feasibility of the matter. It wasn't until Li Chen, Xu Zhi and Zhuo Yi came first that they put this letter into their sleeves without a trace.

"See Your Majesty—"

When the three of them arrived, they first bowed respectfully to the First Emperor, and then very consciously avoided the sides, and each found his own place to sit down.

Not long after they sat down, the three of Zuo Xiang Li Si, Nei Shi Teng and Shaofu Shi Lu hurriedly came together.

"I've seen Your Majesty—"

The three of them bowed.

The First Emperor smiled and waved his hand.

"The three Aiqing, they are all my humerus ministers, no need to be polite, and sit down and talk......"

Only then did the three of them return to their places with respectful expressions. Waiting for the palace maid on the side to come over, pour enthusiastic tea for everyone, and bow down, the first emperor smiled and waved his hand.

There was already a waiter standing aside, bowed down, and passed the note written by the fourth prince to the first emperor to Li Si's hands, Li Si just glanced at it, and couldn't help but light up in front of him, and then, after reading it word by word, he quietly passed this letter from the fourth prince to the side of the inner Shi Teng and Shaofu Shi Lu.

Nei Shi Teng is better, although he is happy, but he can still control his emotions, during this time, Shi Lu, who has been demolished to make up the west wall, and worries about the shortage of copper mines every day, couldn't help but almost jumped up on the spot with excitement.

"The fourth prince has discovered a large amount of silver mines, and the first batch has been sent back to Xianyang!"

Shi Lu's eyes lit up, and both eyes almost turned into Qin Banliang.

"Your Majesty, we may be able to mint this silver into silver coins and circulate them as large coins to solve the problem of insufficient copper coins today......"

Hearing this, the First Emperor nodded noncommittally, and turned his gaze to Li Si and Nesteng on the side. Although Shaofu Shilu's proposal was in his arms, as an emperor, he naturally would not take a position easily until the matter was finally decided.

"Your Majesty, what Shi Shaofu said is feasible, but I don't know what the silver reserves on this Fusang Island are, after all, the matter of coins is related to the people of the world, and it must not ......be careless."

Neston chimed in.

"Zuo Xiang's words are reasonable, and besides, if this silver is used to mint coins, how much Qin and a half taels can be exchanged for a silver coin also needs to be carefully considered, more will hurt the people, and less will there be lawbreakers, who will profit from it and affect the circulation of coins......"

These three people, who are in charge of the money and food of the big money, are the well-deserved pillars of Great Qin.

As soon as the excitement went on, there were naturally more aspects to consider.

Standing from their own perspectives and expressing their own opinions, the First Emperor always looked calm and noncommittal, and in the end, he even looked at Li Chen, Xu Zhi and Zhuo Yi who were listening.

"You three, what do you have to say......

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the three adults are all old people who have become a country, and their thoughts and worries naturally have their reasons, but Weichen thinks that the key to this matter is not the amount of silver, but with the development of Lingnan, Mobei, Hexi and the Western Regions, the copper mines that we can grasp in our hands have become less and less, and copper coins have become extremely scarce, and even some places have to return to the ...... of bartering."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but subconsciously glance at the First Emperor sitting on it, and saw that the First Emperor's face was as usual, and he even bowed slightly, and he became more and more confident in his heart, and bowed down again.

"Your Majesty, there may be more or less silver, but more and more use, less use, silver is worth much more than copper coins, with the supplement of silver, in addition to easing the pressure of our money, it can also facilitate the distribution of military salaries and salaries, even if it is a merchant in the past, it can also greatly relieve the pressure of money escort......"

As soon as Li Chen's words came out, even Li Si, who had always been moody, couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and a look of praise flashed in his eyes.

Li Chen is right, what plagues Daqin now is not only the lack of copper mines and the shortage of currency, but also the weight of these copper coins.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about paying the army.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, thousands of dollars per person per year, the copper coins needed are piled up, no less than a hill!

Every year, just escorting these money and grain requires great manpower and material resources.

Once obtained with silver, a lot of effort can be saved in circulation alone. The convenience is clear at a glance.

At this time, Xu Zhi and Zhuo Yi are no longer the Ameng of the past, these days, they are in the cabinet, not only can they see a large number of twists and turns every day, but they can also attend the resolutions of these top ministers of Great Qin, see the pattern, and the means of handling things, which is almost visible to the naked eye.

"Your Majesty, human nature is evil, money and silk are many people's hearts, silver into circulation, which will inevitably involve the interests of many people, in order to prevent someone from harming the public for personal reasons, the minister thinks that it is necessary to make a decree before silver officially acts as a coin circulation, so as to regulate the people of the world......"

When Li Si heard this, he glanced at him imperceptibly, and then gently withdrew his gaze.

Zhuo Yi got up and said.

"Your Majesty, the way of a gentleman is like the wind, the virtue of a villain is like grass, and the wind on the grass will die. If Your Majesty wants to correct the world, you should first correct the officials of the world, and the officials of the world will be right, and the people of the world will be right......"

The First Emperor nodded slightly and said approvingly.

"Good, but according to your opinion, how should we correct the ...... of the world's officials?"

After the First Emperor finished speaking, he nodded earnestly.

"You don't have to rush to answer this matter, you can write a special letter to me tomorrow......"

Hearing the words of the First Emperor, everyone couldn't help but glance at Zhuo Yi who was standing inexplicably, but Zhuo Yi didn't react, after he heard the First Emperor's command, he bowed to the First Emperor again with a solemn expression.

"No—"

…………

When he walked out of the main hall, Xu Zhi deliberately lagged behind a few steps slightly, and when Li Si came over, he quickly followed and said in a low voice.

"Prime Minister Zuo, what is the purpose of Your Majesty's words today, don't you want to reuse Confucianism?" (End of chapter)
