Chapter 985: The king has longevity, and the ministers have strength! Lose money and food or gain both money and food?
Ying Zheng's words can be described as arrogant.
Just six years?
Ying Zheng has been in power for seven years, and if you add six years to it, it will be thirteen years. This is a long reign that recent generations of Qin kings have never dreamed of, and it is even more than 1,500 years of the total reign of King Qin Xiaowen. More than twice as much!
The result in Ying Zheng's words is just 'mere'?
However, Ying Chengyu nodded and said: "What the king said is true."
"Although the life of the king is limited, it is only six years, which is nothing for the king."
Lu Buwei, Wei Zhuang and other courtiers' breathing suddenly shortened, and Ying Zheng laughed loudly. He looked down at the ministers and asked: "With the words of Lord Chang'an, are you still worried?"
"There is no need to hurry up on the mausoleum of a humble man."
"A man's life spans forever!"
"I have controlled the Qin Dynasty for a long time, served the world for a long time, and shared with you all my beloved ministers the merits of immortality!"
If only Ying Zheng said this, the courtiers would not hesitate to think that Yingzheng was denying important matters of life and death. Most of the courtiers would be obedient and obedient on the surface, but they would not care in their hearts. However, a very small number of courtiers such as Lu Buwei would The meeting sternly remonstrated, asking Ying Zheng to face up to life and death matters.
If Zheng Anqi and other immortals said this, the officials would be a little more hesitant. On the one hand, they believed that the immortals might indeed be able to help Yingzheng live forever, but on the other hand, they were worried that this was just the deception of the immortals. Chunyu Yue and others The doctors would even radically advise Yingzheng to respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them, and not to believe in the words of immortals.
But when Ying Chengyu said this, the ministers were only shocked and had no doubts in their hearts!
On the mysterious side, Ying Chengyu has established a terrifying credibility with his ability that far exceeds the limits of a great witch and his style of doing what he says and never lies.
In the world, only Ying Chengyu dared to mention the life and death of Ying Zheng to Ying Zheng, and only Ying Chengyu was not afraid to anger Ying Zheng by bluntly stating the date of Ying Zheng's death. Ying Chengyu had no reason and no possibility to live long. Count such important things to deceive Ying Zheng.
Now Ying Chengxuan firmly says that six years is nothing compared to Ying Zheng. How can this be false? !
"Six years is not enough, six years is not enough?" Lu Buwei murmured twice and then laughed loudly: "This is the great blessing of the Qin Dynasty that the king enjoys a long life!"
finally! Finally, there is no need to worry that the king he is assisting will collapse in a few years!
The truth only needs to worry about whether one's lifespan can fulfill the truth's wish, and there is no need to worry about the collapse of the great cause due to the sudden death of the king.
And as long as the king's good fortune and longevity lasts, the original phase will die soon, and the original phase's thoughts and spirit can be passed down through the king.
And the great king will continue to look after the country of Da Qin, without fear of wind and waves!
At this moment, Lu Buwei felt the relief he had not seen for a long time, and he raised his hands in front of Ying Zheng: "My lord, congratulations to the great king! Congratulations to the great Qin!"
Is it not just Lu Buwei who is happy?
As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, every change of throne will be accompanied by a great change in the court, and every death of a hero will lead to a turning point in the development direction of a country.
Wei Zhuang, Wei Liao, Li Si and other ministers are undoubtedly the direct descendants of Ying Zheng. Only if Ying Zheng continues to be the king of Qin can they continue to hold high positions. Only if Ying Zheng continues to be the king of Qin can Great Qin have the power and power. They have the strength and the possibility to develop into what they dream of.
The extended life of Ying Zheng means that their power will be effective for a long time, and they will have enough time to pursue their ideals. They do not need to worry about the change of royal power that their current efforts will be in vain!
All the courtiers spontaneously and spontaneously stood up and raised their hands, shouting excitedly:
"My lord, congratulations to the great king! Congratulations to the great Qin!"
At the same time, many courtiers also cast grateful glances at Ying Chengyu.
They felt much more at ease after hearing Ying Chengyu's words!
Ying Zheng smiled happily: "This is indeed a great congratulation!"
"Of course! This matter involves the country, and even more, the heaven and the earth. It was the secret that was stolen just now after the king paid a huge price and the twelve immortals tried their best to help!"
"I deeply trust you, my dear friends, so I share this good news with you all."
"My dear friends, please don't tell anyone about this matter!"
The ministers are still waiting for Ying Zheng's final words.
What will be the punishment if this matter is spread? Is it to be dismissed from office, expelled, beheaded or sentenced to death?
However, after waiting for a few seconds, the officials still could not wait for Ying Zheng's punishment measures, and could only see Ying Zheng's smile.
At this point, Li Si and other court officials already understood.
Da Qin does not pay attention to the idea that punishment is unpredictable and power is unpredictable. Since Ying Zheng did not explain the punishment measures, it means there is no punishment.
Obviously, Ying Zheng did not ask the ministers not to disclose the matter to the outside world, but only prohibited the matter from being spread through official channels!
That's right, there must be a decent excuse for suspending the construction of royal tombs, so as not to let people in the world misunderstand the national conditions of our Great Qin.
And how can such great news not be spread throughout the world, making everyone who loves the King feel happy, and making everyone in the world who hates the King war?
All the courtiers had smiles in their eyes and shouted in unison: "Wei!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and asked with a smile: "In this case, is there any beloved Qing who wants to refute my order to stop the construction of the royal tomb?"
The ministers once again handed over their hands and shouted excitedly: "The king is wise!"
Ying Zheng smiled softly and said in a deep voice: "Pass on my order!"
"The construction of the mausoleum of the king is suspended. The prisoners who built the mausoleum are temporarily returned to the general government to be used for the construction of cement roads, canals and other structures. They are released to serve as slaves and return to their hometowns to provide food for our slave labor in Daqin Province!"
Zhao Zeng and Zhang Han stood up together and raised their hands excitedly: "I obey the king's order!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and turned to say: "In that case, this strategy has been decided." "Do you have any good strategies? You can all give me advice!"
Ying Zheng's attitude was quite understated, as if nothing major happened just now.
But the excitement in the hearts of the ministers could not be eliminated.
Knowing that Ying Zheng's lifespan was far longer than six years, Da Qin would get rid of the vicious cycle of changing kings within a few years or even a few days, and instead enter a long-term, relatively stable virtuous cycle. The officials were relieved and excited. .
Ying Zheng took the initiative to stop the construction of the royal tomb for important national affairs, which made the officials feel guilty and blamed themselves!
Under the combination of the two, the thoughts of all courtiers unconsciously turned radical.
After Lu Buwei thought about it for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "We, Da Qin, know that grain production will be reduced next year, so we want to hoard grain and grass. However, this news has not spread widely."
"I actually think that our country, Qin Dynasty, can spend a lot of money to purchase grain and grass from other countries to meet our needs!"
Ying Chengyu shook his head: "I have already made it clear to Dai that there will be a severe drought next year and there will be almost no harvest. This is to alienate Lord Dai Wu'an from his loyalty to Dai."
"I don't know yet whether the alienation plan will work, but King Dai must have known about the disaster that will happen to the country next year, so he will not sell food to outsiders, and will even compete with me, the Qin Dynasty, to buy food and grass."
As he spoke, Ying Chengyu didn't feel ashamed.
He confessed to Li Mu that the disaster in Daidai next year was a strategy decided by Ying Chengyu after communicating with Ying Zheng, rather than a decision made by Ying Chengyu with a rush of heat and a slap on his thigh.
Since the DPRK agreed to Ying Chengyu's plan, the DPRK must have already expected this.
As expected, Lu Buwei chuckled and said: "I am poor, and I have just experienced the earth dragon's transformation. No matter whether there is a disaster next year, Dai Wang will try his best to purchase grain from outside."
"Yan and Zhao are also poor, and even if the kings of Yan and Zhao don't know that there will be a severe drought next year, they should know that a war is coming, and they will strictly control their food and grass."
"Even if we, the Qin Dynasty, spend a lot of money to buy grain and grass from the three kingdoms of Dai, Yan, and Zhao, we will hardly get anything back."
"Therefore, I think that if we, the Qin Dynasty, want to purchase grain and grass from outside, we should turn our attention to Baiyue, Xiongnu, Dongyi, Yueshi and other places!"
Han Cang was stunned: "Purchasing grain and grass from the land of Siyi?"
Although the four barbarian lands of Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong and Beidi have quite good fighting capabilities, they are also synonymous with poverty.
The people of Siyi often don't have enough to eat and need to invade the Central Plains to plunder food in order to survive. Now Lu Buwei is planning to purchase grain and grass from the land of Siyi?
The more I hear this, the more outrageous it becomes!
Lu Buwei nodded lightly and said: "Yes, we just purchase grain and grass from the barbarian lands."
"The land of Siyi is indeed barren, but the land of Siyi is not without food. It's just that more food and grass are in the hands of the powerful people of Siyi."
"As long as the price of our Da Qin is high enough, the dignitaries of the four barbarians will take the food from the mouths of the common people of the four barbarians and sell it to my Da Qin!"
Han An frowned and said: "This is difficult."
"If the dignitaries of the four barbarians take food from the people of the four barbarians, it will definitely lead to internal instability in the four barbarians and the danger of internal strife."
"If you want to make the dignitaries of the four barbarians sell grain and grass to us, Da Qin, at the risk of internal strife, we, the Qin Dynasty, must pay several times or even ten times the price. Only then can we possibly persuade the dignitaries of the four barbarians!"
< br>
"And the barbarians have no virtue."
"It is very likely that after the food is sold, the Seybarians will pass on the food shortage problem of the Sebarians to our country, Daqin, and order the tribesmen to invade our country, Daqin, to seize food to survive."
"If this is the case, I, the Qin Dynasty, may lose both money and food!"
Lu Buwei said in a deep voice: "Today our Great Qin is at a critical moment, so we have to purchase grain at several times or even ten times the price. As long as it can strengthen our Great Qin's national power, it will not be considered a loss."
"As for the Si Yi lands invading my Da Qin?" Lu Buwei chuckled softly: "As long as the Se Yi lands can be prevented from having any weapons before the great Qin war, what if the Se Yi lands raise more troops later?"
"Our officers and soldiers are worried that they have nowhere to gain military merit!"
Ying Chengyu suddenly looked at Lu Buwei, and said tentatively: "I have sent many alchemists to the lands of Siyi."
"To this day, various alchemists have sent back the maps of Kun of the Yueshi, Xiongnu, Dongyi, Donghu, and Baiyue."
"Although the coverage is not broad enough, it is quite detailed and may be used by our envoys from Great Qin."
Lu Buwei also turned to look at Ying Chengyu, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Chang'an Jun ordered the alchemists to make the map of Kun, is it really for the envoys' use?"
Ying Chengyu also said with a smile: "It will also help me in Great Qin's desire to gain both money and food!"
Wei Liao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Wei Liao vaguely realized that he seemed to have become a conservative again!
