Chapter 90: The king wants to change the course that benefits the people?
On the second day, when the Qin Dynasty met, the ministers discovered that Meng Yi was still guarding the king, but Meng Tian was missing.
The ministers didn’t pay much attention.
It is common knowledge in the whole court that the Meng family brothers are favored by the king. The two brothers advance and retreat together. Meng Yi is here alone, which is enough to represent the Meng family. It is not surprising that Meng Tian is missing.
Not long after the court meeting began, a minister reported: "Your Majesty, we have unified the world for more than a month, and the six countries have lost their kings. Although your Majesty has the actual status of the Lord of the World, he has no name as the Lord of the World. Please come as soon as possible Proclaiming himself emperor will determine the hearts of the world."
The title of "Emperor" has been decided a long time ago, but the ministers did not expect that the King could bear not to be called "Emperor" until now.
It’s been more than a month, why hasn’t your Majesty made any progress?
It should be because of "that person" in the king's mouth.
But it took too long!
After the minister finished speaking, many ministers echoed, while Li Si, Feng Jie, Wang Jian and his son, Zhao Gao and others looked on with cold eyes.
Today's Great Qin Court Hall has also changed a bit. Instead of the ministers standing in the hall and discussing matters with the government, there are tables and chairs where the ministers can sit.
Ying Zheng glanced at the minister who asked him to call him emperor as soon as possible, and said: "You think that having the name of 'emperor' can calm people's hearts and make the people of the six countries recognize me as the master of the world? But what do you think? It makes sense. This matter really shouldn’t be delayed for too long. It will take a long time, and it should be completed within two months."
The first sentence is to explain the delay, and the latter sentence is to give a sure message to the ministers who are eager to call him emperor: Don't be anxious, I will make progress. I will be crowned emperor within two months.
After receiving Ying Zheng's confirmation, those ministers who wanted to continue to persuade Ying Zheng to proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible suddenly became quiet.
Although in their minds, two months is still a long time, it is better to have certainty than to wait without certainty.
While there were no more reports from ministers, Ying Zheng pointed to the table in front of him and asked, "What do you think of this table and chairs?"
The king asked politely what he was doing?
Before many ministers could react, they heard Zhao Gao say: "Back to the king, these tables and chairs are very good!"
This dog is so fast, and he deserves to be trusted by the king.
Some ministers regretted not being so quick. When the king asked this question, he must have thought that the tables and chairs were good and wanted to do something.
Seeing that Zhao Gao was speaking out, Ying Zheng said: "What's the good thing?"
Zhao Gao said seriously: "First, the king and the princes will not be tired during the court meeting. Although standing for a long time is visible, it will It takes a lot of effort to sit in the posture, but it is tiring for the body, and this chair gives way to Sitting is not laborious, but it is quite comfortable. Thank you for your kindness!"
After saying that, Zhao Gao stood up to thank Ying Zheng. This is because the king is generous and kind, and he is afraid that they will stand still. They were tired and had to sit hard, so we specially gave them chairs to sit on.
Other ministers had no choice but to stand up with Zhao Gao to thank him. I don’t know how many ministers were insulting Zhao Gao in their hearts. This bastard stole the limelight, and Xie En still dragged everyone together.
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng secretly smiled in his heart, "Zhao Gao is really a talent," and said: "All the ministers are Liangdong of the Great Qin. They make suggestions for the widow and the Great Qin every day, and work hard, just tables and chairs, It’s just a small matter, please sit down.”
Zhao Gao continued: "Secondly, this table is more convenient for reading bamboo slips and writing on the fly during court meetings."
In the past, it was very inconvenient to read bamboo slips while standing in court, especially when there were many bamboo slips. At that time, although there were servants helping to hold the bamboo slips, they were not comfortable to put on the table.
The same goes for wanting to write something. It is obviously more convenient to write on the table by holding the bamboo slips in your hand or placing it on the table.
Most people always prefer comfort. Who wants to stand when they can sit, and who wants to sit when they can lie down?
After Zhao Gao talked about what he thought were the advantages of tables and chairs, he felt that he had figured out what Ying Zheng was thinking, and said tentatively: "This table and chairs are so convenient. If the king allows it, I would like to make them at home." "How many sets!" Zhao Gao is really smart and can really figure out what others are thinking. ’
Ying Zheng said: "In that case, I agree, and the CRRC government will make as many sets of tables and chairs as they want at home."
He looked at the other people. The minister said again: "The same is true for all the ministers!"
The ministers have understood Come here, Your Majesty, you want to promote tables and chairs to the whole world. The fundamental purpose is to extend favors and win the hearts of people in the world...
Although tables and chairs are small things and not an important order of the country, when they fall to the people, they are Being able to provide real convenience to the people will be beneficial to the king's reputation among the people.
The people may not understand those decrees and national policies, but can they not feel the tangible benefits?
Does your Majesty want to change the course that benefits the people?
Li Si frowned, Wang Wan, Wei Liao, Wang Jian and others were thoughtful, and Chunyu Yue looked excited: This is benevolent government, the king finally wants to become a holy king!
Sure enough, after talking about the tables and chairs, Ying Zheng said again: "Bring up the new plow, new salt, tofu, and thirteen incense."
Ying Zheng originally wanted to On the day when I proclaimed myself emperor, I would declare these things to the world. But after listening to Li Nian's talk yesterday, I found that according to what Li Nian said, it would be better to declare these things to the world at the same time on the day when I proclaim myself emperor.
The former means that after the announcement of the title of emperor, things will slowly spread to the whole world. The latter means that things will be prepared first and distributed throughout the world, but they will be hidden and not revealed until the day of the title of emperor. Simultaneous announcements were made all over the world, allowing people to not only know the news, but also see the real thing.
Amidst the doubts of the ministers, a plow was carried in by two guards, and at the same time there were several chamberlains carrying trays.
Fortunately, Zhangtai Palace is big enough to accommodate so many people.
The ministers looked at the two guards, and some ministers who were familiar with plowing saw at a glance that this was a new type of plow, different from the plows currently used in Da Qin and the Six Kingdoms.
Ying Zheng did not block the news about the plow. Some well-informed ministers knew about the existence of the new plow, but they had not seen it with their own eyes.
"Guanzi once said, 'Food is the first priority for the people.' The foundation of a country lies in agriculture. Why is agriculture important?"
"Farming can grow food for the few, for all the ministers, and for all the people in the world. And agriculture It’s heavy. If you can grow more food, you can naturally feed more people. This is enough food!”
“How can we have enough food?”
< br>“I think that it requires both diligent farming and the convenience of farming tools to cultivate more fields and grow more food. This new plow is better than the old plow.”
Win. Zheng pointed at the new plow and said: "I have personally seen it compete with the old plow. It only takes one ox and one person to plow the ground, and it is not slower than my Da Qin plow!"
These words shocked all the ministers, and all their eyes fell on the strange-looking plow in the palace.
Many of the princes in the Great Qin Dynasty came from among the people and knew the hardships of farmers in farming.
If this plow really has the effect that the king said, it will definitely be an artifact of the Daqin Jiangshan Sheji. Just by promoting the merits of this plow, the king will definitely be remembered by farmers all over the world.
No matter whether you are a farmer of the Qin Dynasty or a farmer of the Six Kingdoms, you must remember that the king is as good as the Qin Dynasty, and the farmers in this era are all the people in the world.
