When he left the court, the corners of Liu Bai's mouth were crooked.
happy.
It's not because His Majesty the First Emperor promised 50,000 yuan. In his position, it really doesn't matter whether he has money or not.
What he cares about is...the proposal of dividends was approved by His Majesty the First Emperor.
Although it is not yet possible to establish a shareholding system, with this precedent, the private business economy will have many precedents to refer to in the future, which will help the prosperity of Daqin's business in the future.
This is an unprecedented unified empire, and its vast territory will support an increasing number of people in the future.
As humans, we have needs.
And if there is demand, business must flourish.
Originally, I just wanted to simplify government affairs, improve administrative efficiency, and reduce the burden on His Majesty the First Emperor. I didn't expect that it would also promote business, which was an unexpected surprise.
"snort!"
A cold snort sounded, and Yang Ye was not in a good mood.
Fifty thousand dollars, this is more uncomfortable than killing him.
Now that Great Qin's treasury is abundant, Yang Ye still maintains his stingy character.
Although he knew he was taking advantage, he was not taking advantage as much as before, and Yang Ye was not happy.
He is greedy for public good, which is why he is stingy but not annoying.
"Mr. Yang, why are you uncomfortable? This fifty thousand dollars will bring more than one million benefits to Da Qin in the future."
“And it’s a good thing that will benefit future generations!”
Liu Bai smiled slightly, but he wasn't angry at all.
To be honest, if it wasn't for business, but if a private person came to him to buy papermaking skills from Liu Bai, do you believe that he, Liu Bai, could ask for a million dollars?
"Of course I know that the officials took advantage of this huge sum of 50,000 yuan."
"but.."
"Liu Bai, you have to know how to advance and retreat in the officialdom. You have been very aggressive towards His Majesty today. I feel sorry for you!"
Yang Ye sighed.
He was unhappy, but he was still worried about Liu Bai.
This young man is a little proud of his favor, and he needs to be reminded.
"Mr. Yang, do you think this guy values money?"
Liu Bai asked with a smile.
As soon as this question came out, Yang Ye was slightly startled, and then shook his head.
As for Liu Bai, this young man has a good way of making money. If he really likes money, he will be as rich as his country. These four words can be easily captured.
"Then why did you suddenly increase the price in the court? Isn't this just to increase His Majesty's disgust and talk about others?"
Yang Ye was also a little curious. Watching these ministers gradually leave, he slowed down and asked in a low voice.
"Mr. Yang, you know that I don't care about money. Does your Majesty know that?"
"Whether the price is increased or not, it means nothing to His Majesty, to me, and even to the treasury."
"What matters is attitude!"
"Your Majesty's attitude!"
Liu Bai slowly said: "Skills must be respected. This is the attitude."
"Let the world know that inventing something can be so profitable. This is the embodiment of attitude."
"Attitude is not something you say, it's something you do. If you don't have real money and silver, just open your mouth, the people will be scared!"
After saying these words, Yang Ye understood instantly.
Fifty thousand dollars is a gimmick, and dividends are also a gimmick.
The main thing is to let the people know that inventing skills can be used to cooperate with officials and merchants to make profits.
Money is useless if it is left in a warehouse to gather ashes. It is useful if people in the world earn it and work hard.
"You kid... becoming the prime minister is a humiliation of your talents."
Yang Ye spoke quietly.
Saying this sentence made Liu Bai's mouth twitch.
He knew Yang Ye was praising him, but...
Please! Mr. Yang, the position of prime minister is the head of the hundred officials. Strictly speaking, I, Liu Bai, the left prime minister, am your senior minister. Do you want me to be demoted?
...
"Father, it has been confirmed. As Father expected, Liu Bai and Confucianism are stumbling upon each other and have no time to interfere with the library."
"It must have been triggered by the Confucian competition for the position of library director."
Feng Jie's face was a little excited, but also a little puzzled: "But... there is something unclear about the child."
"Liu Bai clearly cares about the library. Why did Liu Bai let him go in the court?"
That day in the court, Liu Bai even expressed his strong approval for Kong Kun to be the director of the library. His expression was not like he was pretending.
Feng Quji glanced at his son, took a sip of tea and snorted: "Kong Yu?"
"You are a wise man, you are a rotten scholar. What great talent do these people have when they talk in vain?"
"Liu Bai seems to have wild ideas, but in reality he is very arrogant. How could he want to be associated with such people? Instead of arguing, it's better to let go."
"Even if the library is given to Kong Yu, it will only add to the ridicule to talk about what to do with the dry bones in the grave. When it is ruined, Liu Bai will take the library again."
Feng Quji respected Liu Bai.
This young man is the most talented young man he has ever seen in his life.
It is precisely because he became talented at a young age that Liu Bai must have an arrogant temperament.
Let Liu Bai get involved with Confucianism? What a big joke!
"What father said makes sense!"
"Although this person has been an enemy of my family three or four times before, I still admire this person's plan in my heart."
"From the perspective of onlookers, this person has indeed benefited our great Qin Dynasty, and he is a minister of the humerus!"
"Even if he is a child, he would rather sit on his left side!" (In the Qin Dynasty, the right was respected, and sitting on his left side meant that his status was lower than that of him.)
Feng Jie sighed.
Now that Liu Bai was out of the game, Feng Jie could see it more clearly and admired him even more.
If the library is really in Liu Bai's hands and he doesn't make a big sacrifice, their family will be in serious trouble!
"Okay, I have secretly sent people to find out. The library will be completed in the next two days and will be opened shortly after."
"Although the most elite soldiers were killed by Liu Bai, it also paralyzed Liu Bai's vigilance to a certain extent, coupled with Long Wu's rebellion."
"Liu Bai will definitely not pay much attention to the library at this time."
"Dealing with Confucians couldn't be easier!"
"Anyway, the advantage is mine."
Feng Quji put the tea cup down, but still chewed the tea stem carefully, savoring the fragrance.
"Hey, Confucians...are just a bunch of losers."
Feng Jie chuckled and nodded repeatedly.
The library is completed and then opened, so what?
A pedantic scholar like Kong Yu always talks about it, but when it comes to fighting, he is nothing more than a waste!
He, Feng Jie, was powerful in the court and had force in the countryside. Would he be afraid of the Confucians?
"Go ahead. After the incident in the library, Jie'er, you can offer me a thousand pieces of gold and choose three beautiful women from the family to go to Liubaimen and repair them."
"This person is an enemy and takes too much effort."
"What a man in this world can do is nothing more than power, sex, wealth, and fame. Give it all to him, and try to ensure that he becomes our right minister of the Qin Dynasty in the future. We are not afraid of corrupting him."
Feng Quji waved his hand.
There are no eternal enemies in the world, but there are eternal interests.
Choosing a daughter from three clans, sending her to marry him, giving her a thousand pieces of gold, and with the help of the family, Liu Bai ascended to the position of right minister. Feng Quji thought that this was the highest courtesy.
"Yes, father!"
Feng Jie had no objection and even thought that three women would be too few. How about thirty? Let him change one every day?
