"Xiang Liu, Xuan Qi will not benefit from your trip to the Xian Hall."
After leaving Juxian Hall, Liu Bai was about to get on the carriage when he heard a voice beside him and was slightly startled.
He immediately looked back and smiled dumbly.
Astonishingly, it was Xuan Qi wearing Feiyu suit, smiling and chanting.
"As expected of the Seven Mysterious Skills, Jin Yiwei even let you sneak in."
Liu Bai's eyes were filled with admiration.
Xuan Qi's ability to take the initiative to join the Jinyi Guards shows that he is willing to put down his body and do things.
This great talent from Chunyu Yue's sect had passed the previous test.
"Get in the car."
Liu Bai spoke lightly and returned to the carriage.
And Xuan Qi also followed. ,
.....
The carriage and horse shook.
"Prime Minister Liu, Xuan Qi has something unclear."
"Xuan Qi knows what Liu Xiang is thinking. He wants me to have the ambition to strengthen Qin, so he joins the Jinyi Guard."
"But what Prime Minister Liu did today, although it is beneficial to Qin, it does not benefit himself at all. Even inadvertently, it has formed a situation of unending struggle with Confucianism."
"Xuan Qi is really puzzled by what Liu Xiang did."
"Do you really want to do this?"
Xuan Qi said slowly.
He is a disciple of Chunyu Yue, so he naturally understands how much the Confucian people value Juxian Hall.
To put it bluntly, Juxiantang is the springboard for realizing Confucian righteousness in the future! Enfeoffment and restructuring cannot be done without Juxian Hall.
But Liu Bai made such a fuss today and used almost forceful means to seize Juxian Hall.
This kind of hot potato is really not a good thing in Liu Bai's hands.
"Puzzled?"
Liu Bai chuckled lightly and narrowed his eyes slightly: "The road to strengthening the Qin Dynasty already has many obstacles, so what's the harm if there is one more Confucian?"
"It's just a little bit of wind and frost."
Say it, Liu Bai stroked the jade in his hand.
Since he became an official, he has worn this jade around him and given it a nice name: The National Scholar Wushuang.
A true scholar of the country, why should he be afraid of wind and frost?
"The road to Qiangqin is full of twists and turns, but even one person can walk this road."
"If I am not afraid of cynicism and sarcasm, how can I let the world of mortals captivate my heart?"
Liu Bai hummed softly, with an indescribable sense of joy.
It's clear that there are dangers everywhere.
There are obviously many difficulties in the court.
It was obvious that he, Liu Bai... was alone and helpless.
but,
From this moment, Xuan Qi saw the 'strong heart' in Liu Bai's eyes.
Everyone says that Liu Bai is cruel and ruthless, but at this moment Xuan Qi thinks...
This is great love!
What Liu Bai loves is not power or profit, but... the people of this land!
"We, the Qin Dynasty, live in the west corner and have no intention of shrinking back to protect ourselves! The relations between Qin and Qin are not based on words, but on the long sword in the hand."
"It seems to Xuan Qi now that Liu Xiangcheng has Qin Zhi!"
Xuan Qi sighed deeply, then straightened his clothes, and knelt on the ground in the small carriage:
"Mr. Liu, you are indeed a man who achieves great things!"
"Xuan Qi is willing to abandon this broken body and follow the public...to achieve great things together!"
After saying this, he made a long bow and his forehead touched the wooden board of the carriage.
Liu Bai looked solemn, but did not help Xuan Qi up, and then said in a deep voice: "Xuan Qi, do you know the consequences of your bow?"
"The Jin Yiwei is a sharp blade that will eventually be sheathed."
"When it is returned to the sheath, the man holding the sword will die to atone for his sins and have no chance of survival. He will die with a bad reputation and will not even be able to live up to his reputation for eternity!"
Xuan Qi still knelt down without raising his head: "How could Xuan Qi not know?"
"Since ancient times, kings have had two swords. One is the sword of kingship, which educates all people and makes all ministers obey; the other is the sword invisible to the world, which does things in secret."
"Return to the sheath, Xuan Qi is willing to die!"
Liu Bai took a deep look at Xuan Qi, then laughed loudly: "Good!"
"From today on, you are the commander of the Jinyi Guards! You will be in charge of the Jinyi Guards. I am afraid you will be exposed to all the dirty water of Da Qin."
After saying that, Liu Bai patted Xuan Qi's shoulder gently and shook his head slightly.
Liu Bai felt guilty for having failed one person for the sake of the world.
The Qin Dynasty had only a short period of time to unify the world. If it adopts conventional methods, the results will be very slow.
The Jin Yiwei is doing dirty things in secret... and when the world is completely settled... the consequences will be known.
....
"Your Majesty, Chief Secretary Nong Yangye would like to see you!"
In Zhangtai Palace, His Majesty the First Emperor was reading the military report on Daijun in the north.
The autumn harvest is approaching, which is the time when these grassland aliens are ready to invade the Qin Dynasty.
Although the Great Wall is now high, border defenses still need to be strengthened.
"Xuan."
His Majesty the First Emperor did not raise his eyes, but just wrote in the memorial: "Build pavilions and guards, hoard food and grass, march with a large army, and never have trouble with barbarians."
"Chen Yangye, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Yang Ye slowly walked to Zhangtai Palace and saluted His Majesty the First Emperor respectfully.
"Why are you meeting me?"
His Majesty the First Emperor raised his eyes and looked at Yang Ye.
Although this great minister had a high status in the court, he rarely came to Zhangtai Palace for private interviews.
Now that I'm asking for a meeting, there must be something big going on.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty issued a secret decree yesterday, asking me to study the benefits of salt and iron. I read the books and went to the Sixth Prince's Palace to inquire."
"If this matter had happened in the past, it would definitely have been a plan to stir up trouble in the court for small profits."
"But now, with Liu Gongzi's mineral salt extraction method, our Daqin salt industry's income alone is estimated to be in the tens of millions, or even higher!"
Yang Ye's eyes were excited and he quickly opened his mouth to report.
When I calculated that I could make a profit of tens of millions, I was shocked. After calculating it many times, I found that it was indeed correct.
Then he quickly ran to Zhangtai Palace to report the matter.
"The profits of tens of millions can be used for the people, and can also be used to form an army to defeat the evil."
His Majesty the First Emperor's eyes narrowed and he spoke in a deep voice.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bai's random plan for his six sons would be so profitable!
If it is handled properly, it will definitely be a blessing to the entire Great Qin.
"Your Majesty, do you want to conduct state-run salt industry in the court tomorrow?"
Yang Ye suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.
What a profit!
With this money, Da Qin's treasury will definitely be full in the future, and there will never be an embarrassing situation of being stretched thin.
Unexpectedly,
His Majesty the First Emperor shook his head slightly.
"It is not suitable for today's Great Qin to use the profits of the government, mountains and seas to replenish the national treasury."
