Chapter 81 Li Si’s method
"I only know that the eldest young master and the second young master have already joined Qi Ren's family, and His Majesty promised Young Master Hu Hai yesterday to also join Qi Ren's family," Feng Quji said.
He didn't tell the truth, he only told about his apprenticeship.
Li Si frowned slightly and said, "Prime Minister Feng, you didn't tell the truth. Forgive me for not telling Prime Minister Feng."
Feng Quji's face darkened and he said: "Li Xiang, this is a bit too much. I answered your question, but you found such a lame excuse to excuse my question."
Li Si sneered and said: "Prime Minister Feng, you don't need to provoke me like this. There's no need to get angry. After you come into contact with strange people, you will naturally know that your words are completely untrustworthy.
The few of us will not reveal the story of this strange person, so the only one left is His Majesty. Your Majesty will only tell the people he trusts the most.
You and I both know that His Majesty’s most favored person is Zhao Gao. He hides almost nothing from him. Even the matter of refining the golden elixir is left to Zhao Gao.
In other words, Prime Minister Feng learned about it from Zhao Gao. In this case, it is impossible to only know these things.
If Prime Minister Feng doesn't treat me sincerely, why should I treat Prime Minister Feng sincerely? "
Feng Quji's face darkened and he said, "Since Li Xiang doesn't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it.
Even if Prime Minister Li doesn't tell me now, I'm afraid he will tell me when your Majesty comes. "
"Then please ask Prime Minister Feng to wait." Li Si sneered.
Not long after, Ying Zheng arrived at the main hall and was slightly surprised to see the farm tools in the main hall.
He looked at Li Si, as if asking, haven't I asked you to be responsible for promoting these farm tools, and it's your way to bring them back to the court?
"Happy Majesty."
After all the officials in the court taught Ying Zheng to sit down, they all bowed and saluted.
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "No courtesy, please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The officials knelt and sat in their seats in order according to the size of their official positions.
Li Si was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, today I discovered a strange man who specializes in making agricultural tools. He invented several agricultural tools that can increase the grain output of Da Qin several times.
I hope to promote this agricultural tool. "
"Your Majesty." Mr. Wang, who had been scolded by Feng Quji, said, "It is simply nonsense to increase Da Qin's food production several times.
The minister hopes that your majesty can prevent Li Si from deceiving the emperor. "
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Li Si, what can you say to refute Wang Qi's words."
"Your Majesty," Li Si said, "Master Wang simply framed Wei Chen. I'm afraid that Master Wang doesn't know these farm tools at all. I really don't know how Master Wang judged that Wei Chen had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"Wang Qi, do you know these farm tools? Do you know their uses?" Ying Zheng asked.
Wang Qi immediately said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. Although I don't know what these farm tools are used for, the statement of multiplying them several times is really ridiculous and unconvincing.
Not only the humble ministers, but probably everyone will think that what the prime minister said is a fallacy and cannot be realized. "
"Your Majesty, I don't believe what the Prime Minister says either." An official came out.
"Wei Chen doesn't believe it either." Another official said.
"Wei Chen doesn't believe it."
"Wei Chen doesn't believe it."
…
One after another, officials stood up and pointed out that they did not believe what Li Si said.
When Ying Zheng saw so many people objecting, he frowned slightly and looked at Li Si, as if questioning Li Si, how will you end it.
"Li Si, so many ministers don't believe you, so what's your explanation?"
No, His Majesty's attitude is very wrong.
Feng Quji realized something was wrong, Ying Zheng seemed to be protecting Li Si.
Li Si replied: "Your Majesty, it is actually very simple to verify Wei Chen's words, just demonstrate these farm tools.
In order to convince the ministers, it is possible to let the people know that the imperial court has mastered such an artifact.
Wei Chen suggested that the experimental farm tools be made known to the world so that the people could see the effectiveness of these farm tools with their own eyes.
In this way, the common people can know the existence of these tools, and it will be much more convenient for the court to promote them. "
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, I see, this way, the common people will know about this matter, and it will be impossible for the nobles to control this matter.
What a great idea, really good intentions, and worthy of being a real Prime Minister.
"Okay, Prime Minister, you will be responsible for this matter. I'll give you one day to prepare, that's enough."
"Reply to Your Majesty, that's enough. I'll make arrangements after I go to court."
"Okay, I will also visit the scene when the time comes."
"promise."
Feng Quji said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen believes what Prime Minister Li said. But Wei Chen is very curious about who made these farm tools?
As far as Wei Chen knows, in the world, only the Gongshu family, the Mo family and the peasant family have this ability.
I wonder when Prime Minister Li had contact with them? "
"This is my business, I don't need to worry about it, Prime Minister Feng." Li Si said solemnly, "And whether it is a legalist, a Mohist, or a peasant, as long as it benefits the country and the people, the court can use it."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Li Si said it well. Although I govern the country according to the law and let the Legalists dominate, I have not restricted the development of the Hundred Schools.
As long as Li Si doesn't take advantage of others and doesn't violate the laws of Qin, then everything will be fine. "
"Thank you for your majesty's trust in Wei Chen." Li Si said, "Wei Chen did not take anything by force, but was selflessly dedicated to the Qin Dynasty by the inventor.
However, the imperial court cannot ask for others in vain, so Wei Chen suggested that no matter who he is in the future, he should only make inventions that are beneficial to the imperial court and the world.
The imperial court agreed to reward them, and the size of the reward was determined according to the size of the effect. "
This was Qin An's attention, and Li Si brought it out at this time.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "It's feasible. Since a reward system needs to be formulated, a detailed system needs to be in place for this matter. Li Si, since you are the one who proposed this matter, you will be responsible for this system."
"promise."
Feng Quji frowned and thought to himself: "This must have been done by that strange person again. If I have a chance, I will go and meet that strange person."
"Your Majesty," Meng Tian said, "I have a way to deal with the Huns."
"Okay. Let's talk about it." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
In fact, he already knew about this matter. When Qin An was talking about it, everyone was there, including Li Si.
It's just that such a big thing must be announced in the court, and Qin An can't take the credit because he hasn't been born yet, so he can only ask Meng Tian to take it.
Meng Tian said: "Your Majesty, what is the policy against the Xiongnu? I believe that the court can support a puppet khan to compete with the current Xiongnu khan.
With our support, the puppet Khan will definitely get a lot of supplies, and then he will gather the Huns from all directions.
This group of Xiongnu people will be the most sincere guards of the Qin Dynasty, helping us to resist the impossible surrender of the Xiongnu army. "
