Fusu had no choice but to retreat and returned to the mansion. Chunyu Yue was waiting for him. After seeing the ceremony, he sat down on the coffee table, feeling very frustrated.
Chunyu Yue was depressed and frustrated after being idle, but he did not give up his passion for official career because of this. This was the purpose of pleasing Li Si.
Fusu once told him about the troubles of the jade statue, and he persuaded him that the price would definitely improve, at least double. This was not just nonsense, but he was inspired by his years of studying Confucianism and Taoism.
Heaven, nature, this is the law of nature.
Sure enough, it quadrupled today, and his advice came true.
He also said that four times is already the highest level and must be bought, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
Fusu listened and was so anxious that he came to see him today.
"Has your Majesty ever sold it?" Chunyu Yue acted even more anxious than Fusu.
You know, since I was idle, I have always thought about getting the appreciation of the First Emperor again. Fusu is one of his hopes, and this price prediction is even more of an opportunity.
He believed that as long as the First Emperor knew that this was his prediction, he would be overjoyed and would definitely appoint him again.
"No?" Fusu covered his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to say more.
"Your Majesty is confused! This move is related to internal funds. How can it be like this? Didn't you say that the price has reached a high level?"
Chunyu Yue looked at Fusu, lowered his head and stamped his feet.
"I told you, but he said to wait."
"What? Wait?" Hearing this, Chunyu Yue felt that his heart fell to the bottom. Your Majesty still didn't believe him!
"Hey! Your Majesty is too greedy, but you don't know that greed is not enough to swallow an elephant!" Chunyu Yue sighed, as if the country was about to collapse because he didn't listen to his words.
"Forget it! Young Master, if my estimate is correct, it may rise a little tomorrow, but it will fall sharply soon. You must remember to go to the palace again tomorrow morning to advise."
Fusu heard what he said and thought to himself that the teacher must be right. He would do it tomorrow. If his father still refused to sell it, he would not be able to afford it.
The next day.
Sure enough, when it rose again, he got news, which was twice as much. Chunyu Yue could not have expected it, but this is not the key. The key is that yesterday, his prediction was right again.
Before he could go to find Fusu, Fusu came.
"Teacher, God's Word! Sure enough, the price has gone up again."
Chunyu Yue stroked his gray beard, as if he was very tall, and said: "Six times, it must be the top. Don't delay any longer. You must come to see me quickly, and you must let His Majesty sell it."
"No, I will go with you. Even if I risk my life, I will persuade your Majesty to sell it."
I really look forward to death!
Fusu was very moved.
When the two arrived at Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng sat on a high seat with a smile on his face, which made him feel more pleasing to the eye when he saw Chun Yuyue, who was not very pleasant.
"Father, the price of the jade statue has increased again, reaching six times. This is definitely the highest price. Please sell it immediately."
As soon as Fusu arrived, he quickly started playing and knelt down very resolutely.
When Chunyu Yue saw this, he immediately knelt down and said affirmatively: "Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity. I suggest you sell it immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Ying Zheng looked at the two of them without saying anything, and his face showed no answer.
Chunyu became more and more anxious.
"Your Majesty, the price of jade statues has really reached a high level!" Chunyu Yue showed heartache and kept stroking his chest, "The price is determined by nature and limited by heaven. The price fluctuations of commodities in the past dynasties were all determined by God's will. The fluctuations of jade statues have been like this. This is beyond the will of God."
"Can't wait any longer."
Price is born? Ying Zheng opened his eyes and his heart moved slightly.
In this era, there is no concept of science, no theory of commodity prices fluctuating with market changes, and no theory of capital control.
Therefore, all changes in external objects are attributed to heaven. Heaven is not determined by humans, but humans can only follow heaven.
This is what Da Qin calls the economic way, and Ying Zheng also believes in it.
"is that so?"
Ying Zheng's heart was moved, six times, which was indeed a lot, but he was also entangled in Li Zhao's prediction: it would increase ten times in one day.
Can it really be done?
"Father, the teacher is right. Heaven is the law of nature and we cannot violate it. The price of jade statues has suddenly increased six times. This has never happened before. It must be against the laws of nature."
"Please think again!"
Fusu also quickly raised his hand and said.
Is it against the will of heaven? Ying Zheng's brows furrowed, and his heart, which had been ten times more determined, began to waver.
"Edict to Li Zhao!"
He wanted to call Li Zhao to see what he thought.
Chunyu Yue became anxious when he heard this. Regarding Li Zhao, there had been a lot of discussion in the government and the public recently, and there was a lot of bad reviews. He was knighted without any merit, and he was also made a young concubine. Although the young concubine was not a powerful official, he was a personal minister of the emperor.
Being a private minister means being appreciated. If nothing goes wrong, he will step into the court one day. However, as a great scholar, he was left idle and felt very dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, Li Zhao is a child, what's the point of giving him orders? Do you want to ask him?" Chunyu Yue was upright and expressed his dissatisfaction, "He can't even understand farming, how can he understand economics?"
"Your Majesty, don't listen to villains and waste your internal funds."
Of course Ying Zheng understood that the villain in Chun Yuyue's mouth was naturally Li Zhao. He glared sharply and stared back at Chun Yuyue.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Soon, Li Zhao was summoned. He didn't have to think about it and guessed why Qin Shihuang called him over. After all, he was paying attention to the changes in the price of jade these days.
After the greetings, Ying Zheng immediately asked: "Li Zhao, what do you think of the current jade market?"
Seeing his father asking this, Fusu almost jumped up.
Isn't this playing the piano to a cow? What does Li Zhao know? This is not to make things difficult for him.
Sure enough, Li Zhao frowned, even more frightened, and replied:
"Your Majesty, I don't understand economics, let alone jade."
you? Ying Zheng wants to go up and kick him, don't you understand? The price of jade statues has increased sixfold, which is pretty much what he thought. With such ability, he is still pretending.
You don’t want to say yes! I insist on letting you say it.
"Your Majesty, am I right! This guy obviously doesn't understand anything." Chunyu Yue was secretly happy when he heard this, and the injustice in his heart naturally came out.
Li Zhao squinted his eyes and took a deep look at this person. He felt that he was familiar. Then he looked at Fu Su and he understood.
When he was studying history in his previous life, he knew that the eldest son had a teacher named Chun Yuyue, who later joined the Qin Dynasty, but was eventually left idle due to political disagreements. Now this man and Fusu appeared here, and they seemed to have a very harmonious relationship, and he spoke freely. It seems it must be him.
I thought to myself: Why is this old guy Chunyu Yue so crazy? We are obviously not familiar with each other, and there is no conflict of interest, so why are you targeting me like this? I am as stubborn as the eldest son, so it is no wonder that I would propose the enfeoffment.
The old antique still thinks he is very smart, but he is clearly pedantic and stupid. He does not look at the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties. Which of them did not implement enfeoffment? In the end? Not yet death.
To propose enfeoffment is to court death!
Although Li Si was hateful, he did one thing right, which was to let the advice go unused.
Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard Li Zhao's voice, secretly thinking how much he hated Chunyu Yue! Moreover, he doesn’t support enfeoffment?
Ying Zheng has always had a problem, that is, the implementation of the county system has been questioned, and he is still struggling with whether it is right to implement the county system. According to the current situation, the county system can indeed limit the excessive power of some powerful people, but it As a result, the remaining sins are eliminated repeatedly.
Sometimes I wonder if this is a drawback of the county system, but after hearing what Li Zhao said, I felt much better.
The next moment, Li Zhao's voice appeared again.
