Daqin: Qin Shihuang can hear my heart

Chapter 22
"How is it possible? Shouldn't it be a jade statue that can't be sold?"

Many dignitaries were not calm anymore, and their steps stopped in unison.

Chunyu Yue's body trembled, seeing the yellow-orange thing, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, his old body got strength from where he came from, and rushed towards the golden-yellow place.

Holding the gold in his hand, he kept flipping it, but he spit out crazy words.

"Gold? How is it gold? How is it possible? Shouldn't it be a jade statue? I don't believe it, I don't believe it."

Shang Xin ignored it, maybe it was on purpose, but limped towards other vehicles, accidentally staggered again, and tore off the cloth on the other carriage, revealing the golden and golden thing, which was still gold. .

Then, several carriages were opened, revealing a yellow-orange-orange object, which immediately shone in front of the entire palace gate.

"This..." Chunyu Yue felt as if he was being choked up when he drank water, and his throat was swollen badly.

How can this be so?

This is all gold!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Chun Yuyue was almost insane and refused to believe it at all.

"Is this money from the treasury?"

"Hey!" Shang Xin sneered and asked, "Do I have the right to move the treasury?"

boom!
Chunyu Yue felt his heart was hit hard.yes!How can a eunuch use the treasury, that
His faith is broken.Is this the result of selling the jade statue?Apart from this, he couldn't think of a source of gold.

At this moment, his whole body froze, standing in place like dry wood in the wind.

This is the reward for selling the jade statue, not Qin Banliang's reward, but gold, cart after cart of gold.

That is to say, all the jade statues of His Majesty have been sold, no need to look at them, they must be sold at a very high price.

He seemed physically and mentally destroyed.

It took me a while to accept this fact.

Chunyu Yue really didn't want to ask the price, but he couldn't hold back the desire in his heart. He wanted to know if it was ten times the price.

"Shang, Mr. Shang, what's the price?"

"Ten times!" Shang Xin still staggered over, but his tone was not staggering at all.

ten times?
The more Chunyu listened, his body was like dry wood in the wind again, and he almost fell down.

It was really ten times, he was wrong, the price did not fall straight down as he thought, but really soared to ten times, Li Zhao guessed right, but he was wrong.

At that time, Chunyu Yue didn't know how to stand, he didn't speak wildly, he didn't take it for granted, and he didn't have the nobleness of the great Confucianism, he fell into a dead silence.

"Hey! Dr. Chunyu, I just want to go to the palace to report, do you want to go?" At this time, Shang Xin glanced at Chunyu Yue, and asked in a sharp voice, "Didn't you say that Your Majesty will regret it? Why don't you go and see?" Your Majesty looks regretful."

"Actually, I also know that His Majesty will definitely regret it. I regret that I ordered too few jade portraits."

Shang Xin didn't know which tendon was hurt, and his words came from the bottom of his heart.

But in Chunyuyue's ears, it was so
"You..." He felt a pain in his chest, a pain that pierced his heart.

"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty asked me to tell you something, this is the economy, you don't understand it at all."

After Shang Xin finished speaking, he left, with a smile of revenge.

Hearing these words, Chunyu Yue was overwhelmed with grief and felt so much pain that he wished to live.

economy?What exactly is an economy?Heaven, earth and people, are you wrong?Are the laws of nature wrong?

He began to doubt himself.

The ups and downs of the jade market made many dignitaries overwhelmed and suffered heavy losses.

Especially when some people saw the price of jade soaring, they couldn't bear the torture in their hearts, so they rushed to buy it. When it reached a high level, they thought it would be higher, so they didn't sell it. After venting thousands of miles, when I realized it, the price had fallen to the end, and the loss was terrible.

Sad too, sad too!
The most unacceptable is Gao Qiu, one of the nine ministers, the assistant of the Shaofu.

The assistant is an official under the Shaofu.

As an official of the Shaofu, Gao Qiu has a high status, but he gave birth to a disobedient son, Gao Fugui, which broke his heart.

Gao Fugui's qualifications are mediocre, he can't get any recommendation, and he is idle at home. This time the jade market fluctuated, and he was instigated by whom, and even bought a lot of jade when the jade was in a high position, in order to make a lot of money. Everyone predicted that the price of jade would continue to rise, but it came down quickly, and he couldn't do it even if he wanted to.

It's a big loss.

When Gao Qiu found out, he was furious.That's half of his life's income, and this prodigal son is ruined like this.

Gao Fugui was also very discouraged. He felt that he must be making a steady profit this time, but he didn't know that such a drastic change would occur, and the price of jade articles dropped sharply and soon reached the bottom.

Gao Qiu was so angry that he was going crazy, but this was his only child, and he couldn't beat him hard, so he was absent-minded when he was on duty, and his mind was all on the jade.

In Zhangtai Palace, Yingzheng is dealing with government affairs, and Feng Quji has an audience.

Feng Quji came over with a bamboo scroll, frowning and said:
"Your Majesty, this is the tax for this year, please have a look."

Every year, the taxes will be submitted to the prime minister for review after the Shaofu sorting out.

Today, Shaofu Han submitted a tax data, and found that there was something wrong with the tax this year, and it was obviously less. After he ordered someone to count, he found that it was not that the tax was low, but that there was a problem with the data.

He felt that this matter needed to be reported to the emperor, so he came here.

Ying Zheng looked at it and couldn't see why, so he asked, "Well, the taxation this year is not ideal, maybe it's caused by the drought!"

Yes, this year is not a good year. Most of the time is drought, which leads to a decrease in grain production. It is also reasonable to have less taxes.

Feng Quji knew that the emperor didn't see the problem, so he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the problem. I just ordered someone to count and found that the tax and the original data are not bad, but this data is far from it."

Ying Zheng frowned, and asked, "You mean that some officials of the Shaofu didn't do their duty?"

"I think so." Feng Quji nodded.

Ying Zheng got angry when he heard this, and smashed the bamboo scroll, "Who would dare to do that? The crime should be executed."

Failure to perform due diligence in taxation statistics will directly affect the decision-making of the country and the court. According to the Great Qin Law, the crime is unforgivable.

Feng Quji didn't answer the question, he shook his black sleeves, knelt down quickly, and said: "Your Majesty please punish me for my ineffective supervision."

After a while, Ying Zheng calmed down a little, and helped Feng Quji up, "You should investigate this matter secretly, and those who fail to do so will be severely punished."

This is Yingzheng's minimum disposal.

But Feng Quji still didn't answer, but said leisurely: "Your Majesty, this move is not a good strategy. The problem lies in personnel supervision."

"Hmm!" Ying Zheng frowned again.

Since Wang Wan resigned from the position of prime minister, the position of prime minister has been divided into two.

The right prime minister, Feng Quji, is in charge of taxes, etc., and the left prime minister is in charge of personnel affairs, etc.

"How do you say that?" When it comes to Li Si, he needs to understand clearly.

Feng Quji bowed again, and said: "Since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, foreign troubles have gradually disappeared, and the rich and powerful have given birth to laziness because of their outstanding achievements. In addition, the personnel affairs have been arranged by Prime Minister Li these years, and most of them are the sons of nobles. so."

Indeed, Li Sinai was a representative of the dignitaries, and it was inevitable to arrange personnel arrangements for all his children. This was something everyone in the court knew.

Feng Quji didn't say any more, but Yingzheng understood it, that is to say, these powerful people began to pamper them, and arranged for their children to enter important official positions.

And these children are all used to living a comfortable life, how can they put their minds on serious things, even if there are, the children are mediocre and lacking in ability, so they can't do big things.

This is the shortcoming of personnel.

Ying Zheng frowned even deeper.

"Actually, it's not just the people in the Shaofu, but also other ministries." Feng Quji told the truth.

"Do one thing and focus on one thing, these people are bold." Ying Zheng slapped one hand on the desk, extremely angrily.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Feng Quji quickly knelt down and continued, "Maybe this is just affected by the recent price changes in the jade market."

"In the future, it may change in the future."

Having said that, Feng Quji's voice became weaker and weaker, and he lost his confidence.

Indeed, recently too many rich and powerful people have been fascinated by such outrageous price fluctuations of jade articles, and they all seem to be crazy. In the end, the price collapse caused them to suffer heavy losses.

Perhaps, this is the reason for their slack!
"Change? Will they do it? A jade artifact can disrupt this, but what about the future? You should be killed!" Ying Zheng was furious.

Yes, there will be no jade phenomenon in the future?No one can guarantee.

After a long time, he sighed, thinking to himself that this is a disadvantage of the status quo!

Killing is inexhaustible, and it will shake the foundation of the country. This is already a trend. Killing a few people will only curb it for a while, but it will not last forever.

The root of the problem still needs to be reformed!

Li Zhao is right. Innovation is the right way. The innovation of fertilizers makes cyclamen full and gives hope of increasing grain production. What about Guochao?What about the market?
"Li Zhao? I have to go and see you."

Recently, for some reason, whenever something bothered Ying Zheng, he thought of Li Zhao.
