Zhangtai Palace.
Since Fusu changed, Yingzheng's attitude towards him has also become much better.
Therefore, when Fusu now faces Ying Zheng, he has relaxed a lot, and he also has some intimacy between father and son when talking to Ying Zheng.
The two of them could even tease Ran Fang and find some common topics.
This feeling brought a rare smile to Ying Zheng's face, and he was very pleased to see Fusu had changed so much.
"You have to study more while staying with Li Si during this period."
"If you encounter any problems, you can also go to Ran Fang."
"It's always okay to learn from them."
Ying Zheng would never have said these words before, but now he seems to say them smoothly.
When Ran Fang entered Zhangtai Palace, he clearly felt that the aura between the two of them was not as tense as before.
It even has a warm feeling, which is really amazing.
It could be seen from the smiles on their faces that they had a pleasant chat before he came.
Ran Fang felt a little more relaxed. He stepped forward with a smile and said, "See your Majesty."
No matter when, Ran Fang's etiquette is always lacking. Even Fusu, who attaches great importance to etiquette, can't find any problems.
Seeing Ran Fang coming over, Fusu seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and blinked at Ran Fang, with a hint of expectation in his expression, waiting for Ran Fang to praise him for doing things properly, so that Ran Fang wouldn't have to say anything more.
Ran Fang no longer wanted to say anything else. He felt that what Fusu should learn most was the worldly sophistication of relationships!
"Sir, I have already told my father what you told me yesterday."
"Father is very interested in this matter and highly appreciates you."
In front of Ying Zheng, although Ran Fang was unhappy, it was difficult to say anything.
He gritted his teeth and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Fusu."
After saying that, he looked at Ying Zheng on the high platform and asked respectfully: "I wonder what your Majesty wants to ask?"
Hearing Ran Fang's words, Ying Zheng was also very direct. He said, "I went back and looked at the world map yesterday for a long time."
"I have the same view as Fusu about the land of the Xiongnu. We must not let them be so rampant."
"Winter is coming soon, and the Huns will start harassing the people on the border again. If they can't completely solve it, it will definitely not be a good thing for the people on the border."
"Therefore, I still want to resolve the Huns matter as soon as possible."
"Fusu has already told me what you said, so I want to know how to choose food and grass?"
It was still a matter of food and grass. Ran Fang knew that although the father and son had different personalities, they actually had the same virtue inside.
Ran Fang sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Da Qin's planting technology has improved, and Xianyang City's food and grass problem is no longer a problem. I believe that Da Qin's food and grass problem will be solved within three years."
"There is no problem in supplying the people of Qin with these grains."
"What needs to be solved now is the consumption of food and grass by other things, such as building the Great Wall, building canals, paving roads, and when there are natural disasters that require the court to provide relief to the victims, then I am afraid that the food and grass in the court will not be enough."
This is also Ying Zheng's worry. These things are weighing on Da Qin's head. If he wants to use some of his food and grass for war, it may not be that simple.
Therefore, even if he obtained the world map, he would not dare to send troops rashly.
"Is there a solution?"
"If Baiyue Land is utilized, can such problems be solved?"
Another meaning of this sentence is to ask, who is more suitable to let go to Baiyue to grow grain?
It seems that Ying Zheng does not recognize Xiang Yu's management ability that much.
Ran Fang was already prepared. He thought for a while and said, "Going to Baiyue is also a way."
"However, the matter of reclaiming wasteland and planting cannot be solved overnight. If His Majesty wants to send troops as soon as possible, this matter may not be feasible."
"I have another idea, that is, there are so many nobles in the city. It can be seen from the last auction that they must have plenty of things in their hands."
"If we could take out the food and grass in their hands, wouldn't it be able to alleviate part of the food and grass problem?"
After listening, a smile appeared in Ying Zheng's eyes.
He likes nothing more than grabbing things from the powerful. After all, after the last auction, his treasury was full.
"Another auction?"
"What are you going to sell this time?"
Ran Fang smiled evilly on his face and said slowly: "No."
"After the last auction, all the properties in the city have been sold. If the same properties are sold again, I am afraid it will arouse the resentment of other powerful people and have the opposite effect."
“So, it’s better to sell your title than to sell your property!”
"Selling your title?!" Ying Zheng couldn't understand this question either. Isn't this selling his title?
Ran Fang also said before that it is not a good thing for the people for powerful people to be officials. Now they have to use food to buy official positions. Doesn't this go against his philosophy?
Moreover, Ying Zheng would not agree to this kind of thing. He could not let go of the country of Great Qin and its talented people.
"This is absolutely not allowed!"
"The imperial examination system has just ended, and we have to sell our official positions with grain. This will destroy the Qin Dynasty!"
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng would have such a strong reaction. Ran Fang immediately knew that Ying Zheng had misunderstood.
I'm afraid that if I don't explain it clearly, Ying Zheng will be wary of him in the future, right?
He immediately said: "Your Majesty is wrong. I don't mean to sell my official position, but to sell my title."
"Those who are officials should serve as officials in the court and solve problems for the people."
"But this title is different. It's just a title. It doesn't have any rights, but it has become a person with status in Da Qin."
"In this case, I think... no one will refuse, right?"
I have to say that Ying Zheng really agreed with this proposal.
It's just a matter of his words, but it can make them willingly take out their own food. This is only a profit for him, but not a loss.
However, Ying Zheng raised another question: "Then how much should I sell?"
"If the price is too high, those people will probably not agree."
"Is there any other way?"
Ran Fang also knew that the matter of selling titles and obtaining food and grass was only temporary.
From a long-term perspective, this approach is actually unreliable.
"Your Majesty, I have another way."
"That is... to raise food from the world!"
