The next day, inside the Qilin Hall.
Feng Jie glanced at Liu Bai and Chun Yuyue at every turn, his heart filled with secret joy.
Yesterday, he had united with the aristocratic families and spread the word on the streets, asking for thousands of dollars to buy paper, causing a sensation among the people.
Even if it was placed in the court, no one would talk about this kind of scholarly and elegant matter. After all, literary talent is priceless!
Juxian Hall has now almost become the most conspicuous presence in Xianyang, surrounded by people all the time. Except for those who are looking for paper, the common people like to take a look after their busy work to see if they can get lucky. See this legendary treasure.
What made Feng Jie even more ecstatic was... He received news yesterday that Mr. Fusu wanted to see His Majesty, but His Majesty simply disappeared!
What does this mean?
There is no paper at all in Juxian Hall. Mr. Fusu wants to ask His Majesty to take action to calm down this turmoil!
All developments of the matter were proceeding as Feng Jie expected.
Chunyu Yue frowned and didn't understand why Feng Jie looked at him like this, but the look he looked at Liu Bai became even more unkind.
Xuan Qi... joined the Jinyi Guards and became a commander...
Although he was extremely disdainful of this leader, this feeling of betrayal made Chunyu Yue very uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
At this moment, a sharp trumpet sounded.
His Majesty the First Emperor, wearing black black robes, walked out from behind the screen holding his sword.
"My ministers, please pay homage to Your Majesty! Your Majesty will live forever! Great Qin will live forever!"
"My ministers, please pay homage to Your Majesty! Your Majesty will live forever! Great Qin will live forever!"
"My ministers, please pay homage to Your Majesty! Your Majesty will live forever! Great Qin will live forever!"
"..."
Amidst the shouts of the mountains, His Majesty the First Emperor slowly sat down.
"What's important today?"
Following custom, His Majesty the First Emperor asked calmly.
His eyes inadvertently scanned the ministers and paused briefly on Liu Bai's body.
"Your Majesty, in recent days, people who have entered Xianyang to take the examination for the election of officials have been arriving in Xianyang one after another."
"In Xianyang City, the inns are full, and prices are one price a day, which has increased. Public security cases in the city have also increased by nearly 30%."
"Recently, there is a saying that 'rice in Xianyang is expensive, and living in Xianyang is hard to come by', which shows!"
Li Si stood up slowly and spoke in a deep voice.
The selection of officials was still too hasty. This time when these scholars entered Xianyang to take the exam, many unexpected problems suddenly appeared.
In addition to the increase in prices for outsiders such as inns, the prices of food, firewood and other things that ordinary people need to survive have also increased.
As a result, the selection of officials, which was originally a good thing, was disliked by the people.
All the officials in the court were indifferent to this news and were completely too lazy to participate.
Isn't it just a price increase? What can there be?
but...
His Majesty the First Emperor did not think so.
"Tongwuhou Wang Ben."
"The general is here!"
"Two hundred generals from the Huben camp are transferred to Xianyang to assist in the governance. Those who commit crimes during this period will be punished by one level."
"promise!"
His Majesty the First Emperor spoke in a deep voice.
"As for prices, most of the increase will be borne by the state treasury!"
"Yang Ye, after your calculation, the allocation will be at a fair price. The common people and scholars must not suffer losses due to the selection of officials!"
Yang Ye stood up and respectfully accepted the order: "No!"
In the past two days, Master Cheluo has sent a total of 30,000 yuan. The national treasury is not full, but at least it can be used to deal with these special circumstances.
Many ministers opened their mouths, wanting to say whether this was too pampering for the people, but no one really stood up to object.
It’s just cheap, it’s really funded by the national treasury, these businessmen should be wise! Merchants can still deal with making less money and offending the government.
Moreover, once the election is over, those unsuccessful scholars will definitely promote His Majesty's benevolent policies when they return to their hometowns! This is a great good thing.
Liu Bai raised his eyebrows, looking at Yang Ye's calm look, he felt extremely depressed!
This is all the money earned by my student. This old boy really doesn’t feel bad spending it!
At this moment, Liu Bai wanted to grab Yang Ye's neck and ask loudly: Aren't you stingy? Why are you so generous today!
However...
Before Liu Bai stretched out his hand, Yang Ye spoke again: "Your Majesty, since the price is fair, the people's previous resentment has certainly been weakened, but the price increase trend during this period has also made the people of Xianyang feel sad. Shocked, and then affected the scholars rushing to take the exam."
"I thought it would be better to book these inns and use them specifically for the scholars who are rushing to take the exams to prepare for the exams."
"First of all, these scholars who are rushing to take the exam can prepare for the exam without being disturbed."
"Secondly, it can also demonstrate my great Qin magnanimity and make the world's scholars return to their hearts."
"These three visits... are to promote the business atmosphere in Xianyang and to feed the people back."
As soon as Yang Ye said these words, there was sudden silence in the court hall!
All the ministers looked at Yang Ye, some even rubbed their eyes because he was old!
This...is so fierce? Yang Ye is generous?
impossible! Is this still the same Yang Ye who went to the front line with a knife to fight the quartermaster for a thousand dollars in logistics supplies?
What day is today? The sun doesn't come out from the east. Why does it fall from the sky?
His Majesty the First Emperor raised his sword eyebrows and showed a slight smile in front of the ministers: "This is a very good move!"
Liu Baibai was dumbfounded.
That stupid student of mine, has his money bag completely taken care of?
With this package, Liu Bai can guarantee that Ying Che will have to come to his house to have a meal tomorrow!
Are all old fathers so careless about spending money from their sons?
"Your Majesty, now the decision has been made and everything is settled. There is only one difficulty."
After Yang Ye received the approval from His Majesty the First Emperor, he also bowed longly and said with a troubled expression.
"Why is it difficult?"
"No money."
Yang Ye rubbed his neck and spit out two words.
After saying these two words, everyone was even more stunned!
No...Lao Yang, are you crazy? Are you playing tricks on His Majesty in the Qilin Palace?
Even Yang Ye's old friend Li Si was sweating on his forehead at this moment.
"But... I remember that Prime Minister Liu once said that he would replenish the national treasury. Now I have not received a big sum of money from Prime Minister Liu. I don't know that this time..."
However...
Yang Ye changed the subject, looked at Liu Bai, and spoke rather shyly.
"Cough cough cough!"
"puff!"
"Hiss!"
"..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Qilin Hall was coughing!
Good guy, so this old stingy is waiting here?
All civil and military officials in the court couldn't hold back their laughter.
But due to the fact that he was above the court and in front of His Majesty the First Emperor, he had no choice but to suppress it and even coughed!
Liu Bai looked at Yang Ye with wide eyes. At this moment... he felt like he had seen a ghost.
This bad old man... I thought he was honest, but I didn't expect him to be very bad!
After scheming Mr. Che, did he hit me?
"Okay, okay! This is how you play, right?"
"Mr. Yang, just wait, I will go to the kitchen to get you some money!"
Liu Bai blushed, gritted his teeth, and forcefully said this sentence.
...
Damn it, Chapter 77 of Chinese Valentine’s Day!
