Ying Zheng pointed to his nose, looking confused.
He was not involved in the whole thing, so how could he blame himself?
Other ministers were also shocked.
They all know His Majesty's temper. Who dares to say anything bad about His Majesty?
And this kid actually dares to openly blame His Majesty?
"That's right!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded firmly, "Master goes to court every morning, takes the salary from the court, and does things for the court, but one day he will grow old. Since they are old, they should be allowed to enjoy their old age and no longer worry about state affairs!"
"Hiss..."
As soon as Xiao Zhengtai finished speaking, everyone in the audience took a deep breath.
This means that His Majesty's cunning rabbit will die and his lackeys will be cooked!
Use people when you are young, and throw them out of the court when they are old!
Who would be willing to serve as an official in the DPRK after this?
"Feiyu, don't mess around...!"
Ying Zheng shouted sharply, "All the ministers have made great contributions to the court, how can we just dismiss them? Besides, the newcomers are inexperienced, our Great Qin still has to rely on the veterans to take the helm!"
"Father, I am talking about retirement, not removal. There is a big difference between the two!"
"What's the difference?"
"Retirement means that the merits have been fulfilled and the court will no longer go to court, but the court will continue to pay them salaries. It doesn't need to be too much, just enough to live on. This will allow the ministers to spend their old age in peace and ensure their Life……!"
Xiao Zhengtai walked back and forth in the hall with his little hands on his back, and everyone's eyes followed his wandering back and forth. "As for the young officials who are inexperienced, we can set up a cabinet and hire back those knowledgeable officials who have reached retirement age to serve as counselors." , grant the title of Cabinet Bachelor, but without real power, young officials can go to them to discuss problems if they encounter problems!"
"Huh? It seems interesting!"
After some explanation, Ying Zheng became interested.
"But this will increase the burden on the court!"
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji handed over his hand to report.
"Yes, the imperial court's annual tax revenue is not much. If we increase it again, it will not be enough to deal with emergencies!"
Another veteran nodded in agreement.
"If you don't have money, then make money! The court cannot rest on its laurels. It needs to add fresh blood and fresh insights, so that it can go further!"
Xiao Zhengtai is like a wise old man, speaking clearly and eloquently.
"It's easy for the emperor to say, how does the court make money? All the money for the court comes from the taxes of the people. Only when the people are rich can the court be rich. Now that the Qin Dynasty has just stopped the war and is recuperating, the people's homes don't have much food left, and the court can't do anything about it!"
In the row of princes, a man about twenty years old said in a strange tone.
This man is the third son of Ying Zheng, Ying Fan, born to Mrs. Ding.
Originally, apart from Fusu and Hu Hai, he was the most likely to become the prince!
Now a strange little guy suddenly appeared. He was praised by everyone as soon as he entered the palace. It's strange that he felt comfortable.
"Why can't the court make money? Even if the court doesn't make money, then find a way to make the people make money. When the people are rich, the court will naturally be rich!"
“Besides, retired officials’ salaries don’t cost much!”
"Which is more important, the new blood, or the retirement salary given to the veterans?"
Xiao Zhengtai didn't care about anything and immediately responded.
"Okay, the more you talk, the farther you go. Let's put this matter aside for now!"
Ying Zheng slammed the table to stop the quarrel between the two.
It was originally a matter of family and country, but the two brothers ended up quarreling, which made the other ministers laugh!
Ying Fan and Xiao Zhengtai cupped their hands and said nothing.
"Bo Aiqing, since you are not in good health, you should go back to recuperate first. There is no need to go to court early these days!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The old man turned around and walked out of Qilin Hall with a grimace on his face.
According to His Majesty, if he wants to come back in the future, it is probably unlikely!
"Okay, dear friends, let's continue our discussion!"
After the interlude, Ying Zheng gathered his thoughts and began to deal with today's political affairs.
However, all the ministers looked at each other in shock, and no one said a word!
What did you say before?
Where are you talking about?
I do not know?
After everyone was interrupted by that old guy Boyuan, everyone looked at the excitement and forgot about everything that happened before!
"What? You don't even remember? It seems that Da Qin really needs some young talents!"
After a long moment of silence, Ying Zheng glanced at everyone, showing a slight displeasure.
After being scolded, everyone bowed their heads.
Um?
It didn't matter that he lowered his head, Zhang Han suddenly discovered the bruises on his hands, which were left last night when he and Wang were arguing about the house deed. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, raised his hand and reported, "Your Majesty, I brought the house deed with you today. The young master exchanges potato seeds and shares the worries of the country!"
"Huh? Deed?"
Xiao Zhengtai immediately became energetic and ran over with his legs flying.
To be honest, although the palace is luxurious, it is really uncomfortable to live in. You still have to have your own house!
Even if that old guy Ying Zheng doesn’t agree with him moving out, it’s still a good idea to use it as a private garden and do some new things in it!
After finally traveling through time, we must change the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty so that the people will no longer suffer the grievances of future generations!
"Young Master, this is the deed of the house. It is located opposite the old minister's residence. You can take a look when you have time...!"
Zhang Han respectfully handed the house deed to the young master, "I wonder where the young master's potatoes are planted now?"
"It's planted!"
Xiao Zhengtai took the house deed and put it directly into his arms, leaving three words behind.
"Planted... planted?"
"Of course, even if I give it to you, you don't know how to plant it, so I will work harder and plant it for you!"
Zhang Han also thought of taking it back to his house to plant, and then dedicate it to Ying Zheng after harvesting, so that he could gain a wave of favorability.
Now that everything has been poured, it's all gone.
"Thank you, young master!"
"You're welcome!"
"Your Majesty, the Quyuan Plow has been tested and is indeed an artifact that benefits the country and the people. I ask your Majesty to order its promotion!"
Speaking of Little Shota, another minister also remembered what he wanted to report.
"allow!"
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, the alchemists in Xianyang City have been imprisoned in prison. The remaining elixirs were given to sparrows. They are indeed poisonous. I don't know how to deal with them?"
Other ministers also thought of reporting something.
"Behead it, behead it all!"
When it comes to the elixir, Ying Zhengqi doesn't mention it at all.
What he wanted was the elixir of life, and he gave the warlocks a lot of gold, silver, and silk, but all they produced were poison!
Especially the leader of these warlocks, Xu Fu.
He said he was going to find the elixir of immortality on an overseas fairy island. After getting the money, he took three thousand boys and girls with him and disappeared.
Over the years, he has sent many people to search, but there has been no news, as if he has disappeared from the world.
This incident also became a thorn in his heart!
The majestic First Emperor was actually deceived!
Now he is putting all this fire on those warlocks!
