Chapter 14 Chunyu Yue

Fusu had no choice but to retreat and returned to the mansion. Chunyu Yue was waiting for him. After seeing the ceremony, he sat down on the coffee table, feeling very frustrated.

Chunyu Yue, after being idle, was depressed and frustrated, but he did not give up his enthusiasm for official career because of this. This was the reason for pleasing Li Si.

Fusu once told him about the troubles of the jade statue, and he persuaded him that the price would definitely improve, at least double. This was not just talking nonsense, but he was inspired by his years of studying Confucianism and Taoism.

Heaven, nature, this is the law of nature.

Sure enough, it quadrupled today, and his advice came true.

He also said that four times is already the highest level and must be bought, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Fusu listened and was so anxious that he came to see him today.

"Has your Majesty ever sold it?" Chunyu Yue acted even more anxious than Fusu.

You know, since I was idle, I have always thought about getting the appreciation of the First Emperor again. Fusu is one of his hopes, and this price prediction is even more of an opportunity.

He believed that as long as the First Emperor knew that this was his prediction, he would be overjoyed and would definitely appoint him again.

"No?" Fusu covered his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to say more.

"Your Majesty is confused! This move is related to internal funds. How can it be like this? Didn't you say that the price has reached a high level?"

Chunyu Yue looked at Fusu, lowered his head and stamped his feet.

"I told you, but he said to wait."

"What? Wait?" After hearing this, Chunyu Yue felt that his heart fell to the bottom. His Majesty still didn't believe him!

"Hey! Your Majesty is too greedy, but you don't know that greed is not enough to swallow an elephant!" Chunyu Yue sighed, as if his country was about to collapse because he didn't listen to his words.

"Forget it! Young Master, if my estimate is right, it may rise a little tomorrow, but it will fall sharply soon. You must remember to go to the palace again tomorrow morning to advise."

Fusu heard this and secretly thought that the teacher's words must be right. He will do this tomorrow. If his father still refuses to sell, he will be unable to kneel down.

The next day.

Sure enough, when it rose again, he got news, which was twice as much. Chunyu Yue could not have expected it, but this is not the key. The key is that yesterday his prediction was right again.

Before he could go to find Fusu, Fusu came.

"Teacher, Shenyan! Sure enough, the price has gone up again."

Chunyu Yue smoothed his gray beard, as if he was very tall, and said: "Six times, it must be the top. No more delay. You must come to see me quickly, and you must let your Majesty sell it."

"No, I will go with you. Even if I risk my life, I will persuade your Majesty to sell it."

I really look forward to death!

Fusu was very moved.

When they arrived at Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng was sitting in a high position with a smile on his face, which made him feel more pleasing to the eye when he saw Chunyu Yue, who was not very pleasant.

"Father, the price of the jade statue has increased again, reaching six times. This is definitely the highest price. Please sell it immediately."

As soon as Fusu arrived, he quickly started playing and knelt down, very determined.

When Chunyu Yue saw this, he immediately knelt down and said affirmatively: "Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity. I suggest you sell it immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Ying Zheng looked at the two of them without saying anything, and his face showed no answer.

Chunyu became more and more anxious.

"Your Majesty, the price of jade statues has really reached a high level!" Chunyu Yue showed heartache and kept stroking his chest, "The price is determined by nature and limited by heaven. The price fluctuations of commodities in the past dynasties are all in accordance with God's will. The fluctuations of jade statues have been like this.

This is beyond the will of God."

"Can't wait any longer."

Price is born? Ying Zheng opened his eyes and his heart moved slightly.

In this era, there is no concept of science, no theory of commodity prices fluctuating with market changes, and no theory of capital control.

Therefore, all changes in external objects are attributed to Heaven. Heaven is not determined by humans, but humans can only follow Heaven.

This is what Da Qin calls the economic way, and Ying Zheng also believes in it.

"is that so?"

Ying Zheng's heartbeat was six times, which was indeed a lot. However, he was also entangled in Li Zhao's prediction: it would increase ten times in one day.

Can it really be done?

"Father, the teacher is right. Heaven is the law of nature and we cannot violate it. The price of jade statues has suddenly increased six times. This has never happened before. It must be against the laws of nature."

"Please think twice!"

Fusu also quickly raised his hands and said.

Is it against the law of heaven? Ying Zheng’s brows furrowed, and his heart, which had been ten times more determined, began to waver.

"Edict to Li Zhao!"

He wanted to call Li Zhao to see what he thought.

Chunyu Yue was anxious when he heard this. Regarding Li Zhao, there had been a lot of discussion in the government and the public recently, and there was a lot of bad reviews. He was knighted without any merit, and he was also made a young concubine. Although the young concubine was not a powerful official, he was a personal minister of the emperor.

Being a private minister means being appreciated. If nothing goes wrong, he will step into the court one day. However, as a great scholar, he was left idle and felt very dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, Li Zhaonai is a child, what's the point of giving him orders? Do you want to ask him?" Chunyu Yue was upright and expressed his dissatisfaction, "He can't even understand farming, how can he understand economics?"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to villains and waste your internal funds."

Of course Ying Zheng understood that the villain in Chunyu Yue's words was naturally Li Zhao. He glared sharply and stared back at Chunyu Yue.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Soon, Li Zhao was summoned. He didn't have to think about it and guessed why Qin Shihuang called him over. After all, he was paying attention to the changes in the price of jade these days.

After the greetings, Ying Zheng immediately asked: "Li Zhao, what do you think of the current jade market?"

Seeing his father asking this, Fusu almost jumped into panic.

Isn’t this playing the harp to a cow? What does Li Zhao know? It’s not to embarrass him.

Sure enough, Li Zhao frowned, even more frightened, and replied:

"Your Majesty, I don't understand economics, let alone jade."

You? Ying Zheng wants to go up and kick him in the face, don’t you understand? The price of jade statues has increased six times, which is similar to what he thought. With such ability, you are still pretending.

You don’t want to say it, right? I insist on letting you say it.

"Your Majesty, am I right? This guy obviously doesn't understand anything." Chunyu was filled with joy when he heard this, and the injustice in his heart naturally came out.

Li Zhao squinted his eyes and took a deep look at this person, feeling that he was familiar. Then he looked at Fu Su and understood.

When he was studying history in his previous life, he knew that the eldest son had a teacher named Chun Yuyue, who later joined the Qin Dynasty, but was eventually left idle due to political disagreements. Now this man and Fusu appeared here, and they seemed to have a very harmonious relationship, and he spoke freely.

It seems it must be him.

I thought to myself: What is this old guy like Chun Yuyue so crazy about? Why is he targeting me so much even though we are not familiar with each other and there is no conflict of interest? He is as stubborn as the eldest son, so it is no wonder that he would propose enfeoffment.

The old antique still thinks he is very smart, but he is clearly pedantic and stupid. He does not look at Xia, Shang and Western Zhou. Which of them did not implement enfeoffment? What will happen in the end? It is not destruction.

To propose enfeoffment is to court death!

Although Li Si was hateful, he did one thing right, which was to let his advice go unused.

Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard Li Zhao's voice, secretly wondering how much he hated Chunyu Yue! Moreover, he didn't agree with the enfeoffment?

Ying Zheng has always had a problem, that is, the implementation of the county system has been questioned. He is still struggling with whether it is right to implement the county system. According to the current situation, the county system can indeed limit the excessive power of some powerful people, but it

As a result, the remaining sins are eliminated repeatedly.

Sometimes I wonder if this is a drawback of the county system, but after hearing what Li Zhao said, I felt much better.
