No money, these two words are said very firmly!
And the entire court officials were really not surprised by this incident!
The reason is very simple. The person who said this... is Da Sinong Yangye!
This moneybag of Da Qin can be said to be the stingiest old man in the entire Da Qin, but he is also one of the few people in the entire court who can be admired by everyone.
Not because of his high official position, but because of his behavior and character!
He manages the treasury with integrity.
In the past, when they attacked the Six Kingdoms, the Great Qin cavalry swept across Liuhe. Although on the surface it seemed that they would be defeated in battle and the country would be destroyed if they were defeated, but in fact...
Using the country on the western border to attack the Central Plains, using the power of one country to destroy the six countries in the world, in addition to the mighty Qin army, there are also a group of heroes behind the scenes!
logistics!
This great farmer spent every penny he had in the treasury wisely.
As for the more senior ministers, when Wang Jian led his troops to attack the Chu State, they saw that the great minister had a blistered mouth and gray hair, which clearly showed that he was dedicated to serving the public good!
Of course, this kind of public service is sometimes disrespectful to His Majesty the First Emperor! Cracking his neck and shouting "no money" has almost become Yang Ye's mantra!
That is to say, His Majesty the First Emperor is broad-minded and understands that he is really in trouble, so he doesn’t care about it!
"Your Majesty! Hexi has reduced taxes by 30%. Excluding the corvee for the coming year, the expected tax revenue for the treasury next year is already low!"
"One million dollars. If I could sell my old bones like this, I really wish I could sell some money to assemble such magic weapons for the soldiers on the front line!"
"But...really not!"
Yang Ye burst into tears and looked so pitiful that all the officials were silent!
Although the Qin Dynasty is developing rapidly, the world has been fighting for too long, and the people have suffered too much! Your Majesty appreciates the hardships faced by the people and adopts a lenient policy.
But in this case, the national treasury is poor and it becomes impossible to change things.
And Yang Ye's words put a basin of cold water on all the generals' thoughts of trying to defeat the Huns' royal court!
Liu Bai couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart when he heard Yang Ye's cry!
Don't tell me, don't tell me, this old man in his seventies or eighty years old is crying in the court hall. This is definitely a highlight in the history books! I am lucky enough to witness it with my own eyes, which can be regarded as enriching my life experience!
As for Feng Jie and other aristocratic nobles, they all hunched their necks and pretended not to hear at all.
When it comes to family wealth, these aristocratic families are the strongest and are also known to the court.
It would not be a good thing if he showed his face at this time and was targeted by an old boy like Yang Ye.
His Majesty the First Emperor frowned and looked at Yang Ye, but there was no force!
What Yang Ye said is absolutely not false, but the wealth of the country is competing with the people for wealth, which His Majesty the First Emperor is never willing to do!
suddenly,
His Majesty the First Emperor's eyebrows relaxed, his sword eyebrows slightly raised, and he caught sight of Liu Bai who was smiling evilly.
"Yang Ye, don't cry!"
His Majesty the First Emperor's eyes returned to calmness, and he spoke as if to comfort him: "Haven't you heard of a poem by Zuocheng of Great Qin?"
"I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all the money I have spent!"
"I, Fan Li of Great Qin, are right in front of me. Why should I be worried about money?"
When His Majesty the First Emperor said these words, Yang Ye, who was still crying, was also stunned.
All the officials covered their mouths, for fear of laughing out loud!
Who is Fan Li? In the past, he was a famous minister who assisted King Gou Jian of Yue and completed his career as a hegemon. Then he retired to seclusion, gathering all the wealth in the world and then scattering it! He is the Shang Sage and the God of Wealth in the eyes of the people!
And Liu Bai's words, 'I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back again after all the money I have spent' is obviously someone talking nonsense after drinking!
Taken out at this time, His Majesty's words of comfort seem to have pushed Liu Bai to the forefront!
When officials like Feng Jie and other aristocratic families heard His Majesty say this, they first breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at Liu Bai with gloating.
I ask you to write poetry. Is this going to cause trouble?
The corners of Liu Bai's mouth twitched suddenly, and he wished he could have his ears scratched!
Why is Master Li writing this poem so ambitious? This was used by an emperor throughout the ages, and it would be fatal!
But...there's actually nothing we can do about it!
When Liu Bai first entered officialdom, he didn't need to write poems to accumulate fame. Wanting to be promoted at such a speed was simply a dream!
"Does Prime Minister Liu have a good way of making money?"
Yang Ye, that bad old man, his eyes lit up when he heard this!
For someone who can say such big words, Liu Bai must have some ability!
This pair of old eyes has almost caught up with those little girls in Xianyang City who covet Liu Bai's peerless appearance.
"Your Majesty, I am so poor that I went to Prime Minister Li's house to enjoy the autumn breeze. No one in the court knows about this!"
Liu Bai smiled bitterly and said.
Although arrangements have been made for Ying Che to make mineral salt, this kind of thing must not be discussed in court.
because...
The benefits of salt and iron are immense! And behind the huge profits of this salt are nobles from aristocratic families like Feng Jie.
Once the news leaks out, it can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
"Oh? So, Liu Bai, you are deceiving others by writing poems?"
On the high platform, His Majesty the First Emperor asked calmly.
With this question, Liu Bai was immediately forced into a corner!
No... Your Majesty, you are an emperor for eternity, are you just playing with me like this?
I'm just bragging, Your Majesty, why do you still take it seriously?
"Liu Bai, if you have a way to get rich, it will be a blessing to our great Qin! I hope Prime Minister Liu will help you!"
Yang Ye looked at Liu Bai and spoke quickly.
Regarding Liu Bai, although he knew he was poor, Yang Ye still had some hope.
This rookie in the court has given the world too many surprises since he came to power. Not to mention the literary talent, the 'three-piece iron cavalry suit' alone is amazing enough!
"I..."
Liu Bai was in extreme trouble!
His Majesty the First Emperor used "deceit" to suppress himself, and here Yang Ye had to beg him pitifully!
This is a combination of soft and hard tactics!
Suddenly, Liu Bai thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Your Majesty, I do have a way to fill the treasury, but..."
"but what?"
After saying these words, even His Majesty the First Emperor on the high platform flashed his eyes slightly and asked.
Even the Eternal Emperor was a little surprised out of instinct by this kind of surprise that jumped out from casual remarks!
"I'm going to kill some people when the time comes... Your Majesty, should everything be okay?"
Liu Bai had a shy face and was a little shy to speak.
After saying these words, the officials suddenly felt a chill!
This Liu Bai... is addicted to killing people? How can you make money but still kill people?
