For a moment, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense.
Li Si didn't care. It seemed that he didn't take Feng Quji's provocation to heart.
He didn't even look at Feng Quji, but looked in the direction of Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, the purpose of repairing the book this time is for the Qin Dynasty. Although there is only a small progress in repairing the book now, if it can benefit the head of Guizhou, it will naturally be a good thing."
"Master Zheng is good at farming, so it is appropriate to leave this matter to Master Zheng."
"As for the other books, after discussing with Master Zheng, if it will not affect Da Qin, then it is okay."
This is a fair statement, and it is entirely from the perspective of Da Qin.
As for what he was thinking, no one knew.
But even so, Feng Quji was not satisfied.
Now he holds the fate of the next scientific examination in his hands, and this scientific examination covers a wide range. In the past few days, he has met with many ministers from the DPRK and the Central Government to discuss the content of the examination in various subjects.
Now that these books are pushed out, wouldn’t that give them scope for the exam?
By then their results will be almost the same, and the candidate must be decided by His Majesty. If the person they choose fails, then what is the point of his trip into this muddy water?
However, this must not be said openly.
"Your Majesty, although Prime Minister Li's words are true, these are the secret treasures of our Great Qin, which we have worked hard for so long to obtain."
"If it is handed over so easily, how can the disciples of the various cultivating families be willing to accept it?"
"Therefore, I feel that this matter should be discussed in the long term, or it would not be too late to discuss the matter again after the revision of the book is completely completed."
His idea is that since I am not satisfied, then none of you can be satisfied.
Ying Zheng lowered his head and thought. It was obvious that although their words were all suspected of profiting for themselves, they all made some sense.
However, when he thought that what Zheng Guo said was what Ran Fang thought, he couldn't help but gravitate towards Zheng Guo.
"Zheng Guo, since you brought this up, what do you think?"
Although he was asking Zheng Guo, he was actually asking Ran Fang.
Zheng Guo naturally knew this truth.
Upon hearing Ying Zheng's question, he immediately bowed and replied, "I think what Prime Minister Li said is reasonable."
"Like doctors, their principle is to save the world and save people, especially some prescriptions that need to be put into practice."
"There are also farm tools. Only in the farmland can they be truly useful. Otherwise, they can only draw on paper and they will not be of use."
"And even if these are spread out, the head of Guizhou will talk about His Majesty's merits."
"As for the things that Prime Minister Feng is worried about, they will probably not have much impact."
Unexpectedly, after Zheng Guo finished speaking, he would step on him again, and Feng Quji's face suddenly showed an angry look.
But since Ying Zheng was sitting on it and it was Ying Zheng who asked the question, he couldn't say anything.
He could only be secretly angry in his heart and mark Zheng Guo down hard.
Looking back at Ying Zheng, the joy in his eyes was obvious, and he was also very satisfied with Zheng Guo's answer.
He thought for a while and said warmly: "It makes sense."
"Then... I'll leave this matter to you."
The joy on Zheng Guo's face was beyond words. He quickly saluted Ying Zheng and said, "I obey the decree."
Seeing this, Feng Quji didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the matter was finished, Wei Liang stepped forward at the right time and shouted loudly: "Nothing, sir, please step back."
"I'll take my leave."
…
After coming out of Qilin Hall, Zheng Guo was excitedly preparing to find Ran Fang.
Thinking of what Chun Yuxian had told him yesterday evening when he came to look for him, if this thing could come true, Ran Fang would like to invite him to the house to talk about some farm matters.
Since the last incident with the short-cut shaft plow, he had great respect for Ran Fang. He could also see that Ran Fang had a lot of farm knowledge, but he was not of any use to Ran Fang, and he could not keep it. Go find Ran Fang.
Now that he has this opportunity, he must seize it.
Moreover, in his opinion, this matter is also a good thing that can benefit the people, and he will naturally not refuse it.
So after Chun Yuxian left last night, he immediately went to Ran Fang's house and asked some detailed questions.
Fortunately, Ran Fang had the foresight to not only tell him the pros and cons of the matter, but also tell him what he should say to convince his majesty if the ministers disagreed.
Sure enough, everything went as Ran Fang expected. His Majesty hesitated a little, but finally agreed with him.
Thinking of this, he admired Ran Fang even more, and his steps became faster.
But he didn't expect that he would be stopped just as he reached the palace gate.
"See Mr. Zheng, please come over and have a talk."
The person who came was someone from Li Si's side, and Zheng Guo understood that Li Si was looking for him for something.
However, he was thinking about Ran Fang now and was not going to see Li Si.
After all, Li Si was only looking for him to ask him about the book, and there was no time to talk about it later.
"Tell your lord, I still have something to do, and I will pay you a visit in person in the future."
After saying that, he was ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, the boy did not leave, but still stood in front of him, raising his head and looking at Zheng Guo with some embarrassment.
"Sir, don't put this little one in trouble."
If he had been tougher, Zheng Guo could have just pushed the person away.
But with his appearance, he really couldn't embarrass a young boy.
Helpless, he had no choice but to sigh and said, "Lead the way."
Where he didn't notice, the boy showed a smile of success, and he knew that Zheng Guo was easy to talk to.
As long as they show some embarrassment, Zheng Guo will definitely agree. Basically, it is a "secret" that everyone who knows Zheng Guo knows.
This method has worked for them time and time again.
Zheng Guo didn't know this. He followed the boy into a carriage and then came to Li Si's mansion.
When he got off the carriage, he knew that he might not be able to go to Ran Fang today. Judging from his behavior, Li Si probably wouldn't let him leave soon, otherwise he would just find a safe place to talk.
Arriving at the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zheng Guo suppressed the helplessness on his face and put on a smile.
"See Prime Minister."
Li Si also had a smile on his face. Seeing Zheng Guo's disapproval, he said softly: "I told you, there is no need to be so polite between you and me."
"Sit down. This chair was bought at Liuguang Pavilion. How about you give it a try."
Listening to the meaning behind his words, it seemed that he felt that there was no such thing in Zheng Guo's mansion.
However, Zheng Guo looked very familiar. After thanking Li Si, he sat on a chair nearby.
Then he looked at Li Si with a smile and said in a somewhat proud tone: "There are also some in the lower official's house."
"It's just that the chairs in my palace were sent by Ran Fang, but they are not as good as those in the prime minister's palace."
Li Si's expression paused. These chairs were very expensive. Even he only bought some for the front hall and study room, and used couches for the other rooms.
And Ran Fang gave it away as soon as he said so, which was really generous.
He didn't know when Zheng Guo's relationship with Ran Fang became so good?
"Haha, that's how it is. I'm just showing off."
"Ran Fang is really generous. When I sent people to Liuguang Pavilion to buy some, he also gave me a few chairs."
"However, I can't compare with you."
