Chapter 98
"How many heads do you have on your necks? How many are enough to be chopped off?"
Hearing these words from Wang Li, the vast court quieted down, and the ministers looked at one another, not daring to speak anymore.
Chunyu Yue walked out from the ranks and performed a bow.
"Regent, the Ninth Prince, this old minister wants to impeach Wang Li!"
Ying Ying Zi Ye watched this scene with great interest.
His heart had no fluctuations; he even felt like laughing a little.
"Oh, what does the Great Confucian want to impeach Wang Li for?"
Chunyu Yue tilted his head slightly and glanced at Wang Li.
"This old minister wants to impeach Wang Li for spouting nonsense in the court and deceiving the hundred officials!"
The ministers echoed him one after another, impeach Wang Li!
Wang Li was so angry his body trembled; these old geezers.
They actually joined together to impeach him; it was fortunate he was acting under orders.
Otherwise, with so many people impeaching him, he would not be able to withstand the pressure.
And Shangqing Meng Yi and the others were holding back laughter as they watched all this, not speaking out.
They knew they couldn't impeach him; this was the intention of the Regent, the Ninth Prince, and it was useless for anyone to impeach him.
"Quiet!"
"What kind of decorum is this, making such a racket in the court?"
Ying Ying Zi Ye swept his gaze over the ministers.
"These matters are all true; today I just wanted to inform everyone."
"Today's theme is not this; this is just incidental news."
The ministers were shocked; the matter of these seeds was actually true!
Their minds were stunned by this news; seven or eight thousand jin per mu, they didn't even dare to think about it, but now it was real.
How could this not shock them? It felt as if they were dreaming.
If this news was true, then Great Qin was about to take off!
But such a big matter was not the theme, just incidental news?
Then what would today's theme be?
Feng Quji shook his head, shaking out all distracting thoughts, and stepped out to perform a bow.
"Ninth Prince, you say this is a true matter, do you have proof?"
"If this is true, it should be reported to His Majesty immediately!"
"Such a major event must be made known to His Majesty!"
"This minister seconds...!"
"This minister seconds...!"
"This minister seconds...!"
The ministers of the court echoed him one after another.
Ying Ying Zi Ye waved his hand, looking at the ministers with a calm expression.
"Father Emperor already knows of this news; today is just to inform you all in passing."
"Today's theme is not this; you only need to know that every word General Wang Li said is true!"
Thump~~!
Zheng Min, the Governor of Sishui Commandery, knelt directly on the ground.
If this news was true, then he would take this one hundred catties of seeds back to Sishui Commandery, and the food three months later...
Thinking of this, Zheng Min's eyes filled with hot tears, and he kowtowed in thanks.
"Thank you, Ninth Prince, for bestowing the auspicious seeds!"
"Long live Great Qin!"
Ying Ying Zi Ye waved his hand, signaling Zheng Min to rise.
"Governor Zheng, no need for such formalities; this is what Sishui Commandery deserves."
"It is because you had the courage to remonstrate about the current situation of the people in various places; this is a reward for you, no need to be polite."
"After you go down, find Senior Minister Shangqing Meng Yi; he will teach you how to plant these seeds."
"And also have him give you a sample of the farming tools; just go back to Sishui Commandery and find craftsmen to forge them."
"Understood!"
Zheng Min rose, his body trembling with excitement as he retreated to the side.
And the rest of the ministers, seeing that this small governor could actually get priority for one hundred jin of seeds, were all incredibly envious.
Seven or eight thousand jin per mu, this is truly an auspicious sign from heaven!
Many people's little thoughts became active at this moment.
"Alright, let's talk about today's theme!"
Ying Ying Zi Ye spoke to interrupt the ministers' train of thought.
"Previously, I asked you to collect fertile land and levy taxes from the nobles; how have you handled that?"
Hearing these words, the ministers all stopped talking.
They had always treated this as a joke and no one had executed it.
The pros and cons involved made them unable to start doing this. ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
