Chapter 138 Asking Afang

oh!

Ying Zheng suddenly heard Li Zhao's voice and was stunned. He wanted to say: Why can't I bear it? Isn't it the truth? I have never heard anything said by Qin Shihuang.

However, it was not easy for him to say it, but he heard Li Zhao's inner voice again.

[You are in a high position, but you don’t know the sufferings of the people. First of all, judging from the harvest of the people, growing so much grain throughout the year requires paying taxes and land rent. The family is already living in poverty. If they are re-employed, their family will be in trouble. There is no labor, so how can they work and make a living? You can’t blame the farmers for saying this, it’s just miserable.]

[In fact, you are right, but it’s just that your way of thinking is different. It can also be said that you did not think about the problem from their perspective, and therefore did not think about their suffering, which led you to have such thoughts. This is selfish. idea.】

[This is the people's livelihood that I told you before. If the people's livelihood cannot be maintained, how can we maintain your rule? If not, you are already considered very good.]

[Hey! Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang, you have a stubborn head, and you are becoming more and more like Fusu. What is there to be obsessed with? In one sentence, directly ban the suppression of business, and then strongly encourage everyone to do business and let business develop. The natural economy will also improve, and then the business tax collected will be enough to support you for a lifetime.]

[Wouldn’t it be easy to recruit civilians to build the Great Wall by then? Why do people live, isn’t it just to meet the needs of life? Getting paid is the fundamental to meeting the needs of life. If you want to build the Great Wall, you can directly If you extend an olive branch and say how much you will be paid for a day's work, do you still worry about finding people to build it? Do you still need to forcefully recruit civilian workers? No need at all.]

[Maybe they will even come to you asking for their father’s favor.]

[This is the charm of remuneration. In the final analysis, we still need to ban suppression of business!]

Is this really so? Am I really selfish? Do I really only consider myself and not care about their suffering? If the economy develops, can the people really strive to build the Great Wall without the need for recruitment?

When Ying Zheng heard this, countless questions flashed through his mind, and he felt very uncomfortable. His thoughts became increasingly unable to calm down, and he did not speak for a long time.

Seeing that His Majesty did not insist on letting him answer, Li Zhao felt relieved and stood aside obediently.

After a long time, the emperor sighed, suddenly turned back and patted Li Zhao on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Maybe you are right, do business well, and then lead other people to do business. Before business is banned, I will protect you." You, do you know?"

ah!

What's the meaning?

Being photographed like this by Qin Shihuang and speaking so miraculously made Li Zhao's heart skip a beat and he was confused.

Is Qin Shihuang asking him to boldly make a fortune? Can he still cover it up if something goes wrong? What a good thing! But why did he do this? It seems to be against the rules.

Many questions also ran through Li Zhao's mind, but he was not a troubled person and quickly put them aside.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely do business well and lead others to do business as soon as possible, so that our business in Great Qin will flourish again, no, it will be better than before."

Yes, before the unification of the Qin Dynasty, trade among the seven countries was very frequent, and the economy was once very prosperous, but after the suppression of commerce, it gradually declined.

Ying Zheng shook his head, this guy is really nice when he talks about people.

"Okay, go and call your uncle, and I'll look for him."

"Uncle? Looking for him?" Li Zhao was stunned. No matter how much he thought about it, he could not imagine when his uncle and Qin Shihuang became related.

He went there quickly. After a while, Li Jinong walked over cautiously and quickly knelt down on the ground to worship.

He was really scared at this moment. What good could the emperor do by looking for him? It must be about the exile. He hid here and there, but he still couldn't escape!

"Your Majesty, as long as you don't blame Zhao'er, you can do whatever you like with this old fellow, please." Li Jinong begged for mercy as soon as he came, without asking why.

Ying Zheng smiled and gently helped Li Jinong up, leaving Li Jinong confused.

"I have already said that I will not pursue you, why do you keep talking about it? Do you think that I am a person who goes back on my word?"

Li Jinong was frightened and said quickly: "No, your Majesty is." After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Li Jinong also breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know what to say next. He was not as good as his nephew in this regard!

"Okay, I'm here to ask you something. Do you want to answer truthfully?" Ying Zheng became serious and even more expectant.

Li Jinong immediately regained his composure, patted his chest and said, "The common people will tell you everything they know, and they will tell you everything they know."

This statement sounds a bit like Li Zhao's. They are really not a family and don't speak the same language.

"Let me ask you, about eighteen years ago, have you ever heard of a person named Afang, no, a woman?"

"A Fang?" Li Jinong began to think about it, shaking his head and saying to himself, "My eldest brother and I have traveled to countless places in business and met too many people, but we have never heard of a woman with such a name?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Maybe the time has passed and ordinary people can't remember it. The ordinary people will try to recall it and see if they can have an impression?" Li Jinong promised.

Ying Zheng showed slight disappointment, but he did not give up and continued to ask: "Think again, I inquired about Afang's whereabouts at that time, and Afang was finally taken away by a businessman. The businessman was most likely your brothers."

His expression suddenly became serious, and he stared at Li Jinong. Li Jinong was stared at like this, and his slightly relaxed heart became tense again. He quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, what the common people said is true. I really have no impression of Miss Afang."

nothing."

Said so sincerely.

Ying Zheng was very depressed after hearing this. He turned his head and looked to the west without saying a word. At this moment, he seemed to have become a twilight old man, hiding endless sadness.

Afang was the sorrow of his life, and Afang Palace was built for her.

"Okay, please step back! It's time for me to return to the palace." The emperor didn't want to linger.

"Your Majesty!" Li Jinong was sweating on his back. He wished that the emperor would stay away from here so that he could take a breather. He sent him off without thinking. But the next moment, he immediately regretted it. His nephew had just said that he would prepare delicious food.

Your Majesty must be allowed to stay and taste it. It seems like you are deceiving your Majesty as a gift now!

Can you take back what you said?

But you have to accept it if you can't, otherwise you will be ashamed of your nephew's hard work and conscience.

"No, Your Majesty." He insisted on staying, "Zhao'er said that he has prepared delicious food for Your Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty to stay for a while."

"You?" Ying Zheng patted Li Jinong's head directly, but he readily agreed, "That's fine! I want to see what Li Zhao entertains me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jinong retreated tremblingly, as if running away.

Ying Zheng had a serious look on his face and secretly thought that this old boy was walking very fast. He was just as afraid of death as Li Zhao! Is he that scary? But when he thought of delicious food, he felt a little comforted.

Li Zhao had said in his heart that corn could be used as a complementary food and was the most delicious delicacy in the world. It was rare for him to come to Chang'an Township today, so there was no harm in tasting it.

You know, Li Zhaoke ordered people to bring back a lot of corn from Chang'an Township.
