Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at King Wucheng and Wen Zhong, who are at the top of the table on the left and right. Seeing that they are both silent, they are also silent.
Seeing no one objected, Di Xin was even more happy!
"You don't object?"
"As a human king, your Majesty is very frugal in daily life and uses very little in the palace. This year, the tax revenue will be sufficient, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. We will add some things to the palace, so that the princes will come to the court after May to promote our reputation as a great merchant and scare the surroundings! "
Wen Zhong came out and agreed actively.
Di Xin was overjoyed. After traveling to Dashang for so long, he finally heard the second good thing!
Of course, the first thing is to drive Shang Rong and Bigan out...
"What the Grand Master said is true."
Emperor Xin, who finally got the approval of the Grand Master, quickly took the opportunity to achieve his goal and meddle in private goods: "In order to enhance the majesty of my great merchant and deter the surrounding princes, I decided to build the following landscape!"
"1. To spread my name as a wealthy businessman, build a star-catching tower! The building is a hundred feet high, and you can catch stars!"
"2. Promote our great business laws and build cannons! Anyone who commits crimes and intends to rebel will be punished with the death penalty. Promote the majesty of my law!"
"Third, when building the basin, we should be cautious in every step. The kings should be careful in their administration and not harm the country!"
"Fourth, build a wine pool and meat forest, and treat it as a state banquet when the princes come to pay their respects!"
"Do you think it's okay?"
[Who knows how long I have been thinking about making these four gadgets! 】
[Especially the Hao basin, my God, can anyone tell me what this thing can do? How boring is it to watch snakes eating people and having fun? 】
[There is also a wine pond and meat forest, so you are not afraid of the smell of meat attracting flies, the alcohol evaporates, and the white water is tasteless? I really don’t know what this thing is made for! 】
[Forget it, it’s just a waste of time and money to build a bunch of things anyway... But the Star-Zhaing Tower is a good thing. I will have to burn myself in the future, so I must build it! 】
"Let's discuss it."
After Wen Zhong heard what Emperor Xin said in his heart, he also looked at the ministers...
"A Star-Zhaing Tower that is over 100 feet tall is a bit dangerous and a waste of money and people!"
"Yeah, if you like to have fun, just build a few more buildings. Why build a hundred-foot-tall building?"
"I think so too……"
Di Xin did not expect that the first Star Reaching Tower would encounter strong opposition in front of everyone!
He quickly explained: "You guys don't know. Wealth represents the strength of the country; the height of the Star Building represents the strength of our construction, and also corresponds to the strength of the military industry... The higher the Star Building, the more powerful it can be. The merchant’s wealth is sufficient.”
"However, once it is built, there will definitely be a lot of trouble... Now is the busy farming season. If we build a building in a lot, I'm afraid the people will have objections and it will waste people and money!"
Jiao Han, a Chinese doctor, came out and raised key questions.
"This..." Di Xin hesitated...
[It means that many people must die so that I can promote my reputation as a tyrant...]
[However, if you die too much, it will be troublesome to resurrect in the future...]
[And the people are already suffering enough... How about paying for them instead of doing labor? 】
Wen Zhong opened his eyes, and without waiting for Emperor Xin to recover from his hesitation, he said directly: "Then we will not require labor, and we will use food as reward, and ask the people to build buildings!"
"In that case, I have no problem."
When he heard that they were offering food as a treat, rather than forcibly apportioning ding, Jiao Hi had no objection and returned to the queue.
Di Xin hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still didn't speak...
[Forget it, it would be nice to be able to build the Star Building, what else do you need a bicycle for! 】
Seeing that everyone else stopped talking after they agreed on the Star Reaching Tower, Di Xin blinked: "What about the other three landscapes? Do you have any objections?"
"No objection, the Paolao must be built, and it needs to be built in a big way! Only with fear in the heart can we have awe of the law, deter the sneaky villains, and make the people live and work in peace and contentment!"
Huang Feihu jumped out and agreed with Paolao's construction.
Di Xin blinked: [What? Do you agree with building a fortress? Did I hear that correctly? 】
[Huang Feihu, have you changed someone? Kidnapped? If so, just blink! 】
In fact, it was Emperor Xin who made a mistake... In the original work, the ministers were afraid of being burned with cannon. That was because Emperor Xin had already done many wrong things, including driving away Shang Rong, killing Du Yuanxian, and finally cannon-burning Mei Bo. This made everyone Self-danger.
But now? The situation of Dashang is very good, Shang Rong is gone, but all the ministers know that it was the imperial master's decree, in order to promote the method of making potatoes and salt, the price was obviously reduced but the price was actually raised. Everyone is jealous! The same is true for Du Yuanxian and others; and the merits gained from promoting sweet potatoes and potatoes are endless, and the fortunes of the great merchants and the country have increased for thousands of years...
In this case, it's just a landscape, it won't burn you, and it can also deter criminals... So what's the big deal?
"Then...where's the pot?"
Seeing that Paolao didn't arouse any excitement, Di Xin weakly asked about the third sight...
[This thing is really a waste of people and money. I don’t know what it is used for... Oh, by the way, it seems that snake gall medicine can cure many diseases? 】
Can it cure diseases?
Wen Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly. His master had already sent an invitation to Master Lu Yue. He could arrive in a year at most... How about raising some snakes first? In case there are not enough medicinal materials?
"Can!"
Wen Zhong agreed: "What the king said is true. As an official, you should be cautious. It is indeed a good thing to use the turtle basin as a warning!"
Di Xin twitched the corner of his mouth: [Grand Master, do you believe my outrageous reasons? 】
[I... I am not your illegitimate son, right? 】
Wen Zhong's trigeminal nerves couldn't help but jump. Your Majesty, if you weren't in the Jiujian Palace now, believe it or not, I would pull out my golden mace and beat you up on the spot!
"So, you don't have any objections to the wine pool and the meat forest?"
[This thing is really useless. Do you really believe it? 】
[Hang the meat, it will be smelly and rancid, and it will make my palace uninhabitable... The alcohol will evaporate, and there is no risk of getting white water...]
[As for the historical saying that the wine pond was used to practice navy troops... can an artificial pond also be used to practice navy troops? I really think I'm a fool! 】
[You can really object to this! I really can't find any benefit other than waste. Also let me use my eloquence! 】
Wen Zhong smiled slightly and continued: "Of course, what the king said is true. As the sovereign state of eight hundred princes, Dashang naturally has to show the style of a great country. It is very good to entertain guests with wine ponds and meat forests!"
Anyway, it’s not me who stinks, I can cast a spell to cover my nose...and help the ministers cover their noses too...
"I……"
Di Xin was choked by Wen Zhong's words... He even began to doubt life!
[I...these things I did were all done in the original work, right? 】
[Isn’t everyone’s reaction a bit...too wrong? 】
【Paolao! It’s a giant pot! These are all torture! There are also wine ponds, meat forests, and star-catching towers. Do you really not care about things that waste people and money? 】
[Are you still a minister who loves business and the people? 】
Wen Zhongke didn't care about the king's inner cry. Anyway, you proposed Jiuchiroulin yourself. Do you regret it? Oh, dreaming!
He didn't have time to fight with the king, he was still busy trapping Jiang Ziya!
"The Star-Zhaing Tower, Pao Lao, and Huo Basin were built under the supervision of Fei Zhong, You Hun, and Jiang Ziya... As for the Wine Pool and Meat Forest, it needs to be built in the palace, so let the king do it yourself..."
