"Stone lacquer can be called black gold. It has a wide range of uses and is not limited to refining fuel! Moreover, the stone lacquer mine is the same as other mineral deposits. As long as you buy it and start using it, it is definitely a business passed down from generation to generation and can be mined endlessly! How many of you can mine it? The minister asked, is this a big deal?"
Seeing the changes in the expressions of the old guys, Ying Feiyu smiled and raised his eyebrows at them.
"Yeah, yes! Absolutely!"
The veterans nodded again and again, grinning from ear to ear.
"It is obvious to everyone that several ministers are capable of civil and military affairs. There is no need to go out to prove their strength! Today's competition, if you lose, it will be shameful! If you win, you will lead troops to go to war. Then buy stone lacquer mines and mine them. If a good thing like Shiqi happens to someone else, wouldn't the loss be even greater?"
"The Shiqi Mine is a real money tree. If you buy a few of them, not to mention that you will not have to worry about food and clothing in your life, even your descendants will be rich. It will be no more enjoyable than you running thousands of miles to lead troops to the battlefield... …?”
Ying Feiyu clapped his fingers and analyzed it for a few old guys, then showed an indifferent expression and continued: "In this competition, no matter whether the ministers lose or win, they will all suffer. That's why I came here." Stop it, but if a few ministers insist on competing, then please do it!"
"Forehead……"
When the veterans heard this, their eyes rolled back and forth.
"Ahem... I'm old and not in good health. I can't stand the hard work of travelling. Besides, I'm going to retire next year. I'd better leave the opportunity to you!"
Feng Quji, a cunning old man, held his chest and coughed twice to express his discomfort.
But before that, he didn't think so.
Even though I am retiring next year, I still want to express myself!
"Well... His Highness the Crown Prince is right. I am a civil servant, so I will not participate in your killings! And the Spring Festival is about to begin, and the Ministry of Rites still has a lot of things to do. Alas! There is no way! Just This opportunity to achieve military success has been missed!"
After him, Chunyu Yue also pretended to have a very regretful expression.
"Hey! If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten that after the Spring Festival, the officials will have to arrange errands for the number one and the second place. Before that, adjustments must be made in advance. There are so many things to do, how can there be time to recruit peacocks? Dynasty!"
Meng Yi also slapped his forehead and looked annoyed.
"In this case, only Zhang Shangshu, Kang Shangshu and father-in-law are left!"
Ying Feiyu smiled and glanced at the three of them.
"No, no, no, the Maurya Dynasty is thousands of miles away from Xianyang. The most important thing is the supply of food, grass and ammunition. If I, Lao Zhang, leave, what will happen to these things? No, absolutely not!"
Zhang Han is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and deals with money all day long. Which one is more beneficial to him, would he not understand?
"Kang Shangshu, the Ministry of Punishment seems to have nothing to do recently, right? How about you compete with Han Xin later?"
Ying Feiyu glanced at him with interest.
"His Royal Highness, you are right, the Ministry of Punishment has really been fine recently!"
Kang Anping responded with a smile, looking very straightforward.
"That's up to..."
"Although there is nothing going on in the Criminal Department, there is something going on at the lower official's family. Two concubines are going to give birth. Do you think I, the husband, can stay away from home?"
Ying Feiyu was about to say something, but was interrupted seriously by Kang Anping.
"That has to be at home!"
Fortunately, he found such a good excuse, Ying Feiyu was willing to give him this step, suppressing a smile and nodded.
Then he looked at Wang Ben, "Then only my father-in-law is left!"
"Stop! Don't look at me, kid! I'm already a double-educator, so I'd better leave the opportunity to my incompetent son!"
Although Wang Ben has a straightforward personality, he is not stupid either.
His son Wang Li, like Han Xin, wore the same trousers as the prince. He must have participated in the battlefield this time!
Since there is a more profitable business in Xianyang, why should he join in the fun?
Just give your military power to these little ones!
"What? Aren't there any comparisons among the ministers?"
Ying Feiyu pretended to be confused.
"Hehe! His Royal Highness is right. Han Xin is the leader of the Flying Eagles, a versatile man in both civil and military affairs, and the mainstay of Great Qin! Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we lost the competition? Even if we win...well...no! We can't win. !Ha ha!"
When he thought of Shiqi's legendary business, Zhang Han was willing to give in.
But to be honest, compared with Han Xin, he was only less than 50% sure.
The reason why I roll up my arms and sleeves is just to try to win!
"Yes, yes, from now on, the world will be dominated by young people. Let's let their young generals compete. We have enough in this life, whether it is official positions or glory!"
Wang Ben also nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, Your Highness the Crown Prince, what about the stone paint mine...?"
"Don't worry. Since I can call you here alone, it proves that only you know about this matter. Even my father doesn't know about it!"
Ying Feiyu knew what these old guys wanted to ask, so he answered first.
In the words of veterans, he did this because he was protecting his shortcomings!
It's easy for everyone else to say that Wang Ben is Wang Jian's son and has obtained Wang Jian's true biography. After a competition, it's hard to say who will win!
If Wang Ben wins, Han Xin will lose a great opportunity to make a contribution!
This guy is one of the three outstanding figures in the early Han Dynasty. It is impossible for him to stay with him all the time and do odd jobs. He must create opportunities for him to show his talents!
If he never gets the chance to lead troops, no matter how talented he is, he won't be able to show it off!
But if Wang Ben really loses, then things will be even more troublesome.
This is my father-in-law, who lost his reputation for a lifetime at the hands of his subordinates. That little girl Wang Wan must be angry.
After the two got married, he couldn't bear to tell her every now and then!
Therefore, no matter whether Wang Ben wins or loses, he will stop him from competing!
Old guys love to show off, and he has to keep a bowl of water in his hands, so he can't tell only Wang Ben about Shiqi.
Otherwise, other old guys would have to live in his house and nag him every day, which he couldn't stand!
He simply called them all together, told them about Shiqi, and let them make their own choice.
In this way, not only did they feel grateful, but they also achieved their goals!
"Thank you, Your Highness, haha!"
The old guys thanked me profusely.
"His Royal Highness told us such important news, he really regarded us as his own!"
"Of course, we have had a friendship for so many years. If good things happen, His Highness the Crown Prince must be thinking of us!"
"Your Highness, don't worry. We will go cheer for Han Xin later. I believe that with the strength of Han Xin, we will beat them to pieces...!"
After receiving the benefits, the old guys were all happy.
