Chapter 131 Am I Losing Money?

The Qilin Hall of Zhangtai Palace is a side hall.

After the court meeting dispersed, Li Si, Feng Quji and Wang Jian were left behind by Ying Zheng.

After the four monarchs and ministers discussed the assessment, Wang Jian played the prelude.

"Your Majesty, last time the son-in-law said that there is land on the other side of the mountain and on the other side of the sea. I don't know..."

Ying Zheng tapped a few cases with his fingers, thinking quietly.

At that time, Liu Bai's words still rang in his ears.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and the sea road is even more difficult to walk.

If someone is sent there, I don't know how long it will take to come back!
However, since he already knew that besides the current Daqin, there was a wider world outside, so Yingzheng would not give up easily.

"Chuan Zhanghan!"

"promise!"

Xiaoxi walked out of the palace gate quickly, and Zhang Han followed him into the gate in a short while.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty has lived forever!"

Ying Zheng looked at him intently, but didn't cry out.

Just when Zhang Han was very nervous, he opened his mouth and said.

"Send fifty Black Dragon Guards to go westward, passing mountains and rivers, crossing waters, and meticulously drawing the terrain along the way. I want to know what is on the other side of the mountains!"

Zhang Han's heart tightened, and he went west?Isn't this asking the Black Dragon Guard to die?
Even though he thought so, he still made a promise and waited quietly for Ying Zheng's next words.

Just at this time, a guard outside the palace hurried in.

"Your Majesty, the eldest son and the son-in-law are seeking an audience outside!"

"Xuan!"

"promise!"

Although I don't know what they are here for, Liu Bai can also give some advice on what is being discussed at the moment.

After seeing the ceremony, the two knew that Ying Zheng was dealing with things when they saw the situation in the hall.

Standing quietly aside, wanting to wait until after the processing is over.

His Majesty the First Emperor did not give him this chance.

"My son-in-law, I want to send the Black Dragon Guards to go west across the mountains to see what's there, do you have any objections to that?"

Zhang Han, who had been kneeling all this time, raised his eyelids, glanced at Liu Bai, and then lowered his head.

Hearing Ying Zheng's question, Liu Bai was also taken aback and asked curiously.

"Why does the emperor have such thoughts?"

Ying Zheng glanced at him, but said nothing.

Wang Jian stood aside and explained.

"Your son-in-law really forgets things. Last time you were in a hot air balloon, didn't you say that there are people living on the other side of the mountain?"

Liu Bai looked at him inexplicably.

"I said there are people on the other side of the mountain, but I didn't tell you to send people to investigate!"

Looking at him suspiciously, Wang Jian didn't understand.

Don't talk about anything else, just talk about His Majesty's temperament, since you know there is a piece of land over there, why don't you take him into your bag?
Now that the result is known, if you don't investigate, is it possible to drive Qin Ruishi directly?

"What does the son-in-law mean by this?"

At this moment Liu Bai is very regretful, he is really idle, how could he say those things at that time?
He gave Li Si a hard look and said.

"Don't worry, old general. No matter how big the land is on the other side of the mountain, it's in the pocket of my Great Qin. Don't you think that the biggest threat is not them, but the Xiongnu?"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Jian felt even more baffled.

What does it have to do with the Xiongnu if only dozens of people are sent to investigate, instead of sending a large army over?

Liu Bai shook his head and turned to Ying Zheng.

"Father, you don't have to work so hard. I am familiar with the terrain over there. After we take down the Xiongnu, we can lead our troops and push them over there!"

Originally, it would be fine to send dozens of Black Dragon Guards to investigate, but under the current conditions, there might not be more than one out of ten who came back.

These people are all good hands, it would be a pity to fold them there!
Furthermore, if they were really asked to bring back some news, Ying Zheng might have to send troops immediately.

The world has only been unified for a few years, and it is urgently needed to recuperate.

If nothing else, at least wait until there is enough food and grass!

Ying Zheng looked at him suspiciously, you have never been there, how do you know what is there?

"Since that's the case, why don't you tell me, what is there?"

Liu Bai chuckled and said calmly.

"There are countries like our Great Qin over there, such as Yueshi, Qiang, Loulan, etc., but their countries are not very big, so you don't need to worry about it!"

Nodding, Ying Zheng didn't say any more, but just waved Zhang Han back.

Before leaving, Zhang Han gave Liu Bai a grateful look, turned and left.

"Tell me, what's the matter today?"

Leaning on the credentials behind him, Ying Zheng asked casually.

"Cough, father, I have a treasure from my son-in-law!"

As soon as this remark came out, Ying Zheng immediately became interested.

But other people in the hall looked at him inexplicably.

Hearing these familiar words, Li Si shivered reflexively.

Xianbao, see Xianbao again!

I keep wondering in my heart, who will die this time?

Feng Quji, who was on the side, had already turned his lips white.

No way?Could it be him who this person wanted to kill?

After thinking about it, he forced himself to settle down again.

I am the prime minister of the court, even if I want to kill, I can't die inexplicably like Yan Le.

Everything is unknown, don't scare yourself.

Fusu who came with him was confused.

Which one is my brother-in-law acting in?Why didn't you communicate with him in advance?
Little did he know, in Liu Bai's mind, he was just a tool man!
After all, there are many things that are difficult for a son-in-law to handle, and it will be no problem to push it on the head of the eldest son!
Sitting up straight, Ying Zheng asked softly.

"What? Present it!"

Seeing that Xiaoxi was about to come, Liu Bai hurriedly stopped her.

"Father, the treasure this time is not an object, but a strategy!"

"Oh? What's the plan?"

Liu Bai chuckled and said.

"A plan to make money, I hope the emperor agrees!"

Ying Zheng looked at him gradually from interested to enlightened.

Hehe, it turns out that you are short of money!

However, since he can come to discuss with me, it seems that my treasury will be more abundant again.

Looking at Liu Bai softly, he asked.

"Since you want me to agree, you have to talk about it in detail?"

Liu Bai saluted.

"Father, now that we are in the Great Qin Dynasty, the rich people in the folk are all using their son's money to lend usury. Have you ever thought about it? Open a bank in the name of the royal family, so that people with spare money in the world can deposit their money. Afterwards, the royal family will manage it uniformly, and then..."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Quji who was on the side laughed.

"Hehe, I'm afraid the son-in-law's idea is not to make money, but to make the court lose money!"

"According to what you said, collect all the spare money in the world from that so-called bank, what will happen next? If something is damaged in the process, the court will have to pay for it!"

Liu Bai glared at him, I haven't finished talking yet, so you are in a hurry to interrupt.

Ignoring his words, he turned directly to Ying Zhengdao.

"Father can set an interest rate at that time, and the people who deposit money in will have interest according to the ratio. For example, give them [-]% interest..."

Feng Quji looked at him inexplicably, his face flushed from holding back.

"My son-in-law, if you say this, it's not just the loss in the storage process. Although the court can use their money in times of crisis, no matter how low the interest rate is, it's still a lot of money!"

The others listened to Feng Quji's words. Although his words were slightly rude, it was true!
Looking at everyone's eyes, Liu Bai chuckled.

"Do you think I look like a loser?"
