The next day.
In Xianyang Palace.
Above the court.
All civil and military officials gathered.
On the high platform.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng stood tall and looked down at the courtiers calmly.
"Report to Father!"
Ying Ziye stood up, bowed his hands, and said, "My dear minister, I have collected a lot of money by raising taxes on merchants in recent days, and I am now purchasing food."
"In addition, Erchen also developed medicinal wine, which is prepared from grains and a certain amount of medicine, which can repel insects and detoxify."
"Through the Shaofu, Si Nan was created, which can point out the direction so that the army officers will not get lost..."
Ying Ziye spoke calmly, describing the recent progress.
The resolution of each matter is not only beneficial to the attack on South Vietnam.
Afterwards, the empire can also collect taxes from merchants to relieve the pressure on common people and farmers.
And magical things like Sinan can be used in the northern grasslands to attack nomadic barbarians, and there is no need to worry about getting lost in the vast grasslands!
When the civil and military officials heard that such a large amount of taxes had been collected from merchants, they couldn't help but wonder: "Do merchants really make so much money?"
And what is Si Nan, it can actually guide the direction, it's amazing.
If there is such a thing, doesn't it mean that the Qin Empire's cavalry can travel across the grassland at will without worrying about getting lost? !
The First Emperor Ying Zheng heard Long Yan's joy, his eyes were blazing, and he praised: "With this money, we can purchase a large amount of food and meet part of the military needs."
"Ziye, you did a good job, your talent and skills are amazing!"
In words, there is endless appreciation.
Young Master Fusu had a look of resentment on his face and gritted his teeth secretly.
However, in the resentment, there was also a hint of success, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He lowered his head and glanced at Ying Ziye from the corner of his eye.
Wait until you retire.
Ying Ziye and Li Si chatted for a few words outside the palace and then returned to the mansion.
"Master Qi!"
The bad guy brought the news and said respectfully: "Jing Tianming has been appointed as the Juzi of the Mo family. It turns out that the Juzi of the Mo family is dead."
"And before he died, he passed all his skills to Jing Tianming!"
"oh?!"
When Ying Ziye heard the news, he couldn't help but frowned and asked, "How did the Mo family's Junzi die? Who did it?"
"It was made by the Yin Yang family!"
The bad guy replied: "The Mo family's Junzi took Jing Tianming and met the two guardians of the Yin and Yang family, Yueshen and Xinghun, in Langya Mountain. The Yin and Yang family asked him to hand over Jing Tianming, but the Mo family's Junzi refused."
"Afterwards, a war broke out between the two sides. Unfortunately, Jiuzi of the Mo family was hit by the Moon God's Six Souls Terror Curse. When the Yin Yang family was about to capture Jing Tianming, everyone in the Mo family came to hear the news, and the Yin Yang family had to retreat."
"Because Juzi of the Mo family was hit by the Six Souls Horror Curse and his time was short, he immediately ordered the succession to Jing Tianming and told everyone in the Mo family Jing Tianming's identity."
Ying Ziye nodded slightly, his face was calm, and he had some understanding in his heart.
The bad guy continued: "At the same time, Jing Tianming issued an order from Mozi, calling on the righteous people from all over the world to go to Langya Mountain, where the Mo family temporarily lives, to discuss important matters together in a month!"
As for what was being discussed, Ying Ziye could guess it without thinking.
"Master!"
Yuan Tiangang cupped his hands and said in a solemn voice: "Please go and capture these remnants of the empire!"
Ying Ziye smiled calmly, shook his head, and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. Just keep an eye on them secretly to see who is coming."
Anyway, as long as you go there, you can treat them as imperial rebels. In this way, you can distinguish between loyal and traitors.
"promise!"
Yuan Tiangang and the bad guy responded respectfully.
After several days.
Ying Ziye stayed in the mansion and rested under the care of Lu Zhi and Lu Su.
When you have nothing to do, you can summon the dancer to watch the dance and listen to music, or you can ride horses out of the city with Hou Qing and Jian Jiu, galloping across the boundless land.
In October in autumn, frost falls in the open air!
In the early morning, the vast mountain forests seemed to be covered with a layer of ice-like frost.
A chill emerged between heaven and earth.
Da da da!
The galloping horses stirred up strong winds, causing the clothes to rustle.
Eight Young Master's Mansion.
Just returned to the mansion.
Ying Ziye's temples were dyed a touch of frosty white without being able to withstand the cold air.
"Master!"
Xiao He hurriedly came up and reported respectfully, saying: "There have been many changes in the situation in the nearby counties and cities recently. Grain merchants and other big merchants such as cloth merchants and jewelry are driving up prices."
"Compared to before, the price of grain has increased by 50%, the price of vegetables and some spices has doubled, and the price of cloth and silk has increased by 70%..."
When he said these words, Xiao He did not forget to look at Ying Ziye's face.
I saw that Ying Ziye's face changed from a smile and a sense of comfort to a cold expression.
"oh?!"
Ying Ziye had a profound meaning and let out a light sigh, with murderous intent emerging in his eyes and an angry look on his face.
Why didn't he understand such a dirty thing? He knew the reason behind it very well.
It's just to disgust him and cause trouble for him!
Then use the increased prices to make up for the taxes paid previously.
"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"
Ying Ziye's eyes were deep, he waved his sleeves and robe, and he said with murderous intent: "Send someone to investigate and find out which merchants are driving up prices. After that, arrest these grain merchants and unscrupulous merchants. Detention to jail!”
Since they dare to cause trouble, don't blame him for being ruthless.
If you don't listen to what you say, then you have no choice but to take action.
at the same time.
The eldest son's mansion.
After hearing the news brought by Ye Ze and other subordinates, prices in various nearby counties and cities have increased a lot.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Young Master Fusu laughed heartily and said, "Great, we finally got the win back!"
"Let's see how my good little brother will deal with it this time."
"If he doesn't handle it well and prices skyrocket, causing the people to be hungry and the empire to be in turmoil, then he will be doomed."
At this moment, Young Master Fusu, Chunyu Yue and others were talking proudly.
"hehe!"
Zhang Liang smiled and said calmly: "This is the eighth young master who has cut off his own path."
Chunyu Yue also nodded in agreement and sighed: "He has offended too many people."
The next day!
Early morning hours.
The sky is dim and bright.
Walking in the city, the autumn wind is bleak, and you can see the trees covered with frost.
In Xianyang Palace.
Above the court.
All civil and military officials gathered.
Prices in various counties and cities have soared, and Xianyang has also been affected by fluctuations, with food prices rising.
"Your Majesty!"
Several courtiers stood up and bowed.
"What's the matter?"
The faint and majestic voice of the First Emperor Ying Zheng came.
"Recently, prices have skyrocketed in various counties and cities. The prices of grain, cloth, vegetables and even jewelry have increased."
The courtiers said respectfully: "Even Xianyang City was affected by this, and the people complained."
"oh?!"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng let out a light sigh and asked calmly: "Why is this?"
The words fell.
Young Master Fusu's face showed a look of concern. Everything he had done finally had an effect.
Even the city of Xianyang was affected by this!
It can be seen that the group of businessmen did a pretty good job and lived up to the arrangements he and Zhang Liang had painstakingly made.
"Report to Father!"
Young Master Fusu stood up, with a serious look on his face, and said loudly: "Eighth brother is responsible for all this!"
"Because Badi raised taxes on merchants, and merchants paid more taxes, so they naturally had to make up for it, so prices were raised."
"Because of this, people can't afford to buy it."
To add insult to injury, take the opportunity to suppress.
Young Master Fusu now seems to have learned first-hand political struggle methods.
"Is this possible?"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng looked at Ying Ziye and asked lightly.
Ying Ziye stepped forward, bowed his hands, and said, "Reporting to my father, this matter is indeed my son's responsibility."
"But everything has a process, and I will handle it!"
He did not refuse to hide it, that was not his style, and he was sure to handle the matter.
The faint smile on Ying Ziye's lips was full of confidence and not timid.
"Um!"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
After hearing this, all the court officials said nothing more, as long as someone solved the matter.
Young Master Fusu's eyes were deep and sparkling with complex light.
After leaving the court.
Young Master Fusu glanced at Ying Ziye, passed by him, smiled lightly, and said: "Eighth brother, solve it as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise the people would beat the Dengwen drum."
Ying Ziye smiled slightly, took it indifferently, and said, "I appreciate brother's kindness."
After that, he turned around and left.
"snort!"
Young Master Fusu snorted coldly and left with a puff of sleeves.
The eldest son’s mansion!
Young Master Fusu returned to the palace, summoned Zhang Liang and Chun Yuyue, and said with a proud smile: "Two gentlemen, someone in the court has already reported to my father about the soaring prices."
"My eighth brother was also questioned by my father. He said that he had a way to solve this matter, but he didn't know what his idea was. I also asked you two gentlemen to pay more attention to this matter."
"promise!"
Zhang Liang and Chunyu Yue responded with their hands raised.
