Chapter 188

This person's Combined Sword Art has grown far, far stronger compared to a few years ago!

Even looking across the entire world, the number of people who could possibly contend with him would not exceed the fingers on one hand!

Inside Outside Xianyanggong!

During this period, Facing Ying Su's days have been incredibly comfortable!

Indeed!

All day long, aside from eating, drinking, and having fun, he had almost nothing to do!

During the day, he went to Wang Jian's home to find Wang Lan!

At night, he played with Princess Princess Jieyou!

Whenever there was some spare time, he would find the Younger Master of Fate to play with Xia Min!

Has the Younger Master of Fate been subdued?

Of course not!

This woman is incredibly proud!

No matter what Facing Ying Su did, she refused to speak!

After several consecutive attempts, Facing Ying Su felt that some people simply refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty!

Find a time to force the issue, and there wouldn't be so much nonsense.

He was just pondering this when, at that very moment, Zuo Zuo Zongtang ran over to report on military funding issues!

"Military funding?"

Facing Ying Su asked in confusion: "Is there a problem?"

Zuo Zuo Zongtang said: "The expenditures are incorrect; the quantity is somewhat massive. Zhang Han reported that the hundred thousand Commandant troops outside Outside Xianyanggong require ten million cash in military funding!"

"And in previous years, only eight million cash was needed!"

"The Prime Minister suggests giving them eight million cash to avoid generating unnecessary trouble!"

"Oh!"

Facing Ying Su nodded and looked at Zuo Zuo Zongtang: "What is your opinion on this matter?"

Zuo Zuo Zongtang said:

"I believe that currently they are Your Majesty's enemies; even if we cannot kill them due to estimated impact, we should not keep them on the payroll either. Disbanding them is the best option!"

"However... the Prime Minister's concerns do hold some truth!"

Facing Ying Su pondered for a moment and said:

"Then approve eight million cash for them as per precedent; let us see what happens next. If they truly harbor disloyal intentions, we will deal with them then!"

"Yes!"

Zuo Zuo Zongtang bowed and then departed!

And Facing Ying Su proceeded to play chess with Xia Min!

Watching Zuo Zuo Zongtang's departing back, Facing Ying Su could not help but laugh aloud!

It must be said that ever since Zuo Zuo Zongtang and Zhuge Liang arrived, his life has been incredibly pleasant!

Previously, he had to handle state affairs and such, but now he does not need to worry about them at all.

All memorials to the throne are simply handed over to Zhuge Liang and Zuo Zuo Zongtang for review!

If there are any conflicting opinions, they simply discuss them directly!

Only in situations like just now, where both parties hold their ground and deadlock, does he need to make the decision himself.

Compared to burying his head in the study every single day before, it is truly too relaxing now!

"Your Majesty, are you not worried at all?"

"Many people outside are spreading rumors that Li Yuanba has left, and the nobles and the First Emperor are organizing armies, ready to attack Outside Xianyanggong at any moment!"

Xia Min said with concern.

Facing Ying Su merely smiled; he did not care in the slightest!

Thinking carefully, if this matter had occurred back when Li Yuanba and the others had just left, Facing Ying Su would have been very worried.

But now?

With strong soldiers and sturdy horses, what is there to fear?

Myself right now is simply too formidable.

State affairs are handled together by Zhuge Liang and Zuo Zuo Zongtang!

The defense of Outside Xianyanggong is guarded by Fu Hao's two hundred thousand peasant army!

The defense of Outside Xianyanggong is managed by Li Cunxiao!

The Western Depot is being established by Yu Yu Huatian and Chief Supervisor Cao!

Even Lu Fengxian, among these fierce men, can only serve as a City Gate General.

There are too many fierce generals; the Flowery Monk does not know how to assign them all!

With so many fierce men, what is there for him to worry about?

Even the Master of the Moon-Inviting Palace, he does not know how to assign.

However, since he does not know how to assign them, let us just keep them for now!

Keep them by his side to protect him!

While Facing Ying Su was slowly arranging all of this, his points were also increasing!

Yes!

Even if he lies down all day and does nothing, his points are still increasing!

Why?

Because Zhang Liang and Huang Chao were collecting taxes from the nobles for him!

And Zhuge Liang and Zuo Zongtang were handling state affairs for him!

Even the two hundred thousand strong army trained by Fu Hao was increasing his points every single moment!

Because, under Fu Hao's training, that two hundred thousand strong army was growing stronger day by day!

And Han Xin, Li Yuanba, and the others were going on expeditions and so on!

Everything, absolutely everything, was developing in a good direction.

Ying Su was very satisfied!

But he was not completely satisfied!

He still had worries now!

And this worry was about Zhang Liang and Huang Chao!

In order to obtain more intelligence, Cao Zhengchun!

Selected one thousand people who seemed relatively sharp from Fu Hao's two hundred thousand peasant army and established the Western Depot!

With these people monitoring every move of the nobles in Xianyang City!

Someone heard news saying the nobles planned to move against Huang Chao and Zhang Liang!

They intended to kill these two men!

Ying Su was extremely worried about this!

But he did not hesitate, directly dispatching Qiao Feng to Handan Commandery!

With him there, plus the two thousand led by Yu Yu Huatian, and the one thousand led by Huang Chao and Zhang Liang themselves, there should be no major problems, right!

Ying Su thought in his heart, feeling that nothing major would go wrong!

And he himself, after finishing this game of chess, directly took Xia Min to the Workshop!

Tang Ying reported that the first batch of porcelain was about to come out of the kiln, and he wanted to go see the quality of the finished products!

If this item could be sold, then the price of paper could be lowered!

After the price of paper came down, he could do another great thing!

Establish schools to let the common people study!

Then create the imperial examination system to let the common people gradually replace the nobles in the court!

This was a thing that had to be done!

Although it was still very, very far from taking shape!

But if the Great Qin truly wanted to become powerful, and to be passed down for a thousand generations as Ying Zheng said, then this matter had to be done!

After all, he could not only consider his own generation!

His own generation could summon mighty men!
