"Don't talk to me, I'm so angry that my liver hurts!"
After retreating from the court, Liu Bai took the lead and stood up to leave.
I am still having fun as a silly student.
"ah?"
Ying Che was a little confused when he saw Liu Bai getting up.
Liu Bai ignored his student and looked at Yang Ye.
As expected, this loyal old minister was cheerful.
Not to mention Ying Che's matter, the cold winter clothes alone were completely thrown away for military supplies, which was enough to save the Great Qin treasury hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In previous years, this kind of thing would have been unthinkable.
As for why Liu Bai was sad...what did Yang Ye do to him?
"Liu Bai, this military supply must be raised as soon as possible. I, the Qin Dynasty, owe a lot to these border guards. The severe cold is coming. Xianyang is cold, and the north is even colder."
Li Si walked to Liu Bai and sighed slightly.
In the past, the Qin Dynasty destroyed six countries with the power of one country. Everyone said that Li Siju in Xianyang was responsible for arranging grain, grass and military supplies.
But he knows that the so-called 'scheduling' is nothing more than putting resources where they are most urgent.
As a result, there are always some places that are more difficult.
Now it can be regarded as Great Qin's compensation for these soldiers.
"Uncle Li, how come you don't understand these principles?"
"but...."
Liu Bai rolled his eyes and said with a bitter look on his face: "Uncle Li, you also know that our Daqin has spent too much money this year, and we are also poor."
"His Majesty, the First Emperor, caught this little boy and was so hard at pulling out the wool that it became bald!"
“I really don’t have much money!”
"How about...Uncle Li, can you lend me a hundred thousand dollars first?"
After saying these words, even an old fox with a calm face like Li Si couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
Ying Che on the side quickly lowered his head!
Although Li Si was not an upright official and would occasionally accept filial piety from subordinate officials, but... Li Si couldn't even get enough money by selling Li Si by the pound for one hundred thousand dollars!
You know, before Liu Bai put down the rebellion, there was not even a hundred thousand dollars in the treasury!
"No!"
Two words popped out from between Li Si's teeth and he didn't walk away. This was already a sign of respect for Liu Bai.
"It's okay, Uncle Li, who among us is following whom?"
"Since you don't have one hundred thousand, then you owe it first."
"You owe me one hundred thousand now!"
"You need to use this hundred thousand dollars to buy something!"
Liu Bai chuckled and ran away!
After hearing these words, Li Si was about to get angry when he realized that Liu Bai had already disappeared, leaving only Ying Che stunned!
You have to be a teacher, you can make money at such a fast rate... In four sentences, the right prime minister of the current government owes you one hundred thousand?
"Young master, please remember... those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. You must not learn from Liu Bai."
Li Si held it in for a long time and could only say this.
....
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Bai looked happily at the map of Da Qin.
On the map, many places are circled with red pen.
These were compiled by Xiao He overnight based on local newspapers from previous years.
What’s surprising is that the places circled by these ink pens are all recognized as barren lands!
"Just these three!"
"Although the Prime Minister is taking advantage of his words, to be honest, the Prime Minister has to bear a deficit of nearly 150,000 yuan in the national treasury on this trip. He wants three mountains that no one wants. Isn't it a big deal?"
Liu Bai ordered the largest of the three, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Mr. Liu, this thing is indeed as Liu Gong said. It is extremely resistant to burning. Whether it is used by ordinary people to save firewood or used by the Mohists to smelt iron and heat it, it is extremely useful!"
Xiao He said with a smile.
Yes, the ones he marked were all coal mountains where it was written in the Di newspaper that it was difficult to plant trees, and this was also information that had been inspected and confirmed by Jin Yiwei.
Moreover...these coals are relatively easy to mine and the coal content is relatively rich in the mountains, so the trees cannot grow and the grain cannot grow, which can be regarded as saving Liu Bai's exploration costs. (After checking, the mining and application of coal first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty.)
"The function of this thing is not as simple as you think."
Liu Bai smiled and said: "Xiao He, you will have the coal sent to the Mo family later, and then ask the scientific research office and the Mo family to continue to 'use coal to boil water' at all times. Tell them that next year's budget is five Ten thousand dollars or half a million dollars, it depends on whether they can figure it out."
After saying these words, Chen Ping on the side was a little puzzled: "Mr. Liu, why don't you just tell them directly, instead of setting up a puzzle?"
It's not that Chen Ping isn't smart enough, but the difference in cognition.
He is a counselor and a poisoner, so naturally he doesn't care about the process, he only cares about whether this matter can achieve the goal at the minimum cost.
But Liu Bai is different, he is the builder of the times.
Liu Bai does not like to forcefully interfere with the progress of scientific research. He chooses to believe in the wisdom of this era.
certainly,
He is not stingy with tips.
No matter whether the Mo family can come up with something or not, this matter is destined to be recorded in the books. If someone in the future generations has an idea, they will understand that this is the wealth left by the ancestors.
"Just think of it as Jin Xiang's bad taste. It's easy for Jin Xiang to pay for it and let them answer the questions. It's not too much."
Liu Bai smiled slyly and did not choose to express his opinion.
If you say the words "Industrial Revolution", it would be too shocking.
On the contrary, the method of 'bad taste' indirectly made the Mo family feel more relaxed.
After saying this, both Xiao He and Chen Ping were helpless.
My own Mr. Liu... holds a high position and wields great power, but in the end his playfulness has not diminished at all.
What could either of them say?
Planning for Da Qin is so tiring, why don't you allow Prime Minister Liu to have some fun?
"Okay, let's change clothes for our true appearance."
"The Baijia Forum is about to begin. The truth cannot disappoint the 80 million girls in the Qin Dynasty!"
Liu Bai stood up and said shamelessly. (As an aside, there were not 80 million girls in the Qin Dynasty at that time... Most people say it was the first time the population exceeded 100 million in the Song Dynasty.)
....
In the small courtyard on the outskirts of Xianyang, Li Shiqi was tidying up and thinking about the Baijia Forum. Many great scholars around him are also looking forward to it.
"Where is Mr. Li Shiqi?"
"Old Juhuan, Fan Zeng wants to see you!"
At this moment, a voice sounded.
The great scholars present were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes burst into ecstasy!
Juhuan Fan Zeng, this is a real celebrity! Although he lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, his virtuous name is known to the world!
Now even Fan Zeng has come to seek refuge with me, the Confucian Mr. Li Shiqi?
With the help of this person, Baijia Forum will have three more chances of winning!
On the contrary, Li Shiqi had a defensive look on his face!
These great scholars only care about profit, but he is greedy for food, but thinks about his heart!
Fan Zeng came here at this time...not to seek refuge with Confucianism! In other words... even if he, Li Shiqi, is now the director of the library, there is no way that this celebrity who lives in seclusion in the mountains will come to seek refuge with him.
What does Fan Zeng want to do when he comes?
Li Shiqi stood up and walked around, his eyes full of thoughts.
