Chapter 60

It's just collecting a debt; there's no need to use the Lu Lu Sword, right?

This joke is a bit too big!

"This old subject... will go gather the money now!"

Feng Quji's face was ugly, but even as Chancellor, he dared not throw a tantrum in the court.

Maybe the Ninth Prince was just waiting for an opportunity to cut him down directly.

This is not a joke.

That is the Lu Lu Sword!

As if His Majesty had arrived in person!

Even if the Ninth Prince really cut him down, I guess after His Majesty found out, he would only reprimand him a bit.

And he... would have died in vain.

Feng Quji turned and left, exiting the court.

And the great scholar Chunyu Yue originally wanted to say a few harsh words.

But seeing the Chancellor of the court go off to gather money in a dejected manner.

He realized that in front of the Lu Lu Sword, who would dare to be presumptuous?

He was also afraid that the Ninth Prince would be unhappy and cut him down directly.

"This old subject... will also go gather the money."

After Chunyu Yue finished speaking, he quickly exited the court.

After Chunyu Yue and Feng Quji both left the court.

The officials began to whisper one after another.

"The Ninth Prince is truly... young and promising!"

"Using the Lu Lu Sword to urge debt collection, this is really..."

"But the Ninth Prince is good! I thought he would put this money into his own pocket."

"After all, this was swindled by the Ninth Prince with his own ability... no, it was won."

"I really didn't expect him to put it directly into the treasury; the Ninth Prince is righteous!"

"Isn't this quite good? Just as the treasury is empty, a large sum of money will come in immediately."

Ying Ying Zi Ye swept a glance at the court officials, and soon, he looked toward the group of Princes.

"Fu Su, receive the order!"

Fu Su stepped out of the crowd, bowed, and cupped his hands.

"Ninth... Fu Su is here!"

Originally he wanted to call him Ninth Brother, but the current Ninth Brother is the regent.

Calling him that again would be somewhat inappropriate, so he quickly changed his words.

He was somewhat resistant to Ninth Brother's instructions.

But this was arranged by Father Emperor, and he had no way at all.

Ying Ying Zi Ye sized up Fu Su; this is the Great Qin eldest brother Fu Su.

With a compassionate appearance, he is a person with a merciful heart.

It is a pity he has long been brainwashed by the Rujia Sect.

And it is the kind that is washed very thoroughly; he has no opinions and is indecisive.

Generous and benevolent is the most suitable description for him.

He is loyal to Great Qin, loyal to Qin Shi Huang.

Otherwise, Zhao Gao would not have been able to make Fu Su commit suicide with just one fake edict.

In political views, he often went against Brother Zheng's philosophy of governance.

Brother Zheng thought this was caused by Fu Su's weak character, which is why he had Fu Su assist General Meng Tian in building the Wanlichangcheng to defend against the northern Xiongnu.

Hoping to cultivate a firm and resolute Fu Su, but his character is such that it cannot be changed all at once.

In court struggles, Fu Su's character is not suitable.

But letting him manage a treasury is the most suitable.

This is also a very important job; after all, this is Great Qin's money bag.

He really wouldn't be at ease letting anyone else manage it.

"The treasury is handed to you to manage; let the Minister of Agriculture assist you, and count those six million Qian tonight!"

"Understood!"

Fu Su received the decree and retreated.

Although he was unwilling to listen to Ninth Brother.

But Ninth Brother possesses the Lu Lu Sword, as if seeing Father Emperor; even if he is unwilling, he must obey.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the civil and military officials.

"Do the officials have anything else?"

The officials looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Ying Ying Zi Ye swept a glance at the officials, seeing no one spoke.

"Since you have nothing, then let's talk about my affairs!"

"The empty treasury, the remnants of the six states, and the food shortage—these three problems, today we will first solve the problem of the empty treasury."

"The remaining two problems, leave them for tomorrow to solve together!"

"The empty treasury, tax reform is the top priority that needs to be done now; let's start with reform!"

"Of course, the lives of the common people of Great Qin need to be placed first!"

Once these words were spoken, the full court of officials trembled; are we really going to reform taxes?

But they are unwilling; this is touching their cake; if they act in defiance of the order.

Can the Ninth Prince really reform?

And the matter of the lives of the common people, how else can it be solved?

Many people secretly laughed, not believing the Ninth Prince had this ability to reform.

Even if His Majesty wanted to reform, it is definitely not something that can be done by just moving his lips.

Ying Ying Zi Ye saw the little thoughts of this group of officials, but he had his own methods and didn't care about this.

"Common people in many places are starving, and it has reached the point where people are starving to death; we must open the granaries for disaster relief!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye's voice had just fallen.

The military generals who had been quiet also had their expressions change slightly.

The Ninth Prince's move to save the common people of the world is understandable.

But if there is a war on the way, then something big will happen.

But they still didn't speak; they could only find His Majesty afterwards.

The Sishui Commandery Governor on the side heard this and was so excited he knelt down directly.

"Ninth Prince... is wise!"

"Ninth Prince is wise! The common people of the world are saved!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Ninth Prince!"

In the current Great Qin, only opening the granaries for disaster relief can save the common people of the world.

At least they can survive this winter.

Being able to make such a determination shows that the Ninth Prince truly cares about the common people!

Sishui Commandery Governor Zheng Min kowtowed directly.

He really didn't expect the Ninth Prince to open the granaries for disaster relief.

And the officials on the side heard that they were going to open the granaries for disaster relief, and they suddenly exploded.

"Ninth Prince, absolutely not!"

"The grain in the treasury is for the army's reserve; we must absolutely not open the granaries for disaster relief!"

"If this grain is used for disaster relief, what should the Great Qin army do?"

"The northern Xiongnu are eyeing us like tigers, and there is a possibility of war at any time; we must be prepared!"

"Yes, such a major matter must be reported to His Majesty!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye furrowed his brows; these officials really didn't take his words seriously. ===== CHAPTER 62 =====
