Chapter 41

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work coming from afar, follow me into the palace!"

"A grand occasion?"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was confused.

And Li Si knew it well; Ying Su had prepared for this grand occasion for a long, long time!

It was just that he didn't understand what the significance was of spending so much effort to do this.

He thought in his heart, but at this moment, he still greeted everyone to go to the Xianyang Palace!

Not long after, the Xianyang Palace arrived!

Cao Can, Fan Kuai, Xia Xia Houying, Xiao He, these people were entering the Xianyang Palace for the first time. After entering, they couldn't help but marvel at the grandeur of this place, looking around while being afraid of breaking the rules, so for a time, they could only peek secretly!

And Han Xin's eyes couldn't care about watching the prosperity of the Xianyang Palace!

At this moment, his eyes were just staring at the dense Garrison Army!

He was very shocked!

Because... just at a glance, he could see the extraordinary nature of the Garrison Army!

Very mighty, and very imposing!

At that moment, he couldn't help but secretly swear that in the future, he would definitely train such troops!

Likewise, his brain was also turning about recruiting troops.

Ying Su had handed such a big matter to him, he had to do his best to do it well, so that he wouldn't waste Ying Su's cultivation!

And even more, wouldn't waste Ying Su's kindness of knowing him!

He thought in his heart, secretly swearing, and not long after, the banquet arrived!

After everyone had eaten and drunk, Ying Su had Li Si arrange their accommodation, etc.!

Until the next day, when Ying Su was about to take them to see that grand occasion, Li Si reported a matter!

"That couple, they don't want the 100,000 gold anymore!"

"Why?"

"Are they afraid of not being able to bring the money home?"

"Arrange for people to protect them, and make sure to send both the money and the people safely!"

Ying Su said.

And as soon as these words were spoken, even Li Si had to marvel at Ying Su's broad-mindedness!

One must know, that was 100,000 gold!

100,000 gold, even some top nobles would have to empty their family fortune to take out so much money.

And for Ying Su, this 100,000 gold was almost all the money from selling paper during this period.

If it were someone else, they would definitely find a way to default on the debt, and even if they couldn't, they would find a way to find someone to intercept the money on the way.

But... Ying Su not only wanted to give it to them, but also wanted to arrange for people to escort them!

Just this scene made Li Si admire him!

But he still truthfully said the situation:

"They hope to exchange the 100,000 gold for a title!"

PS: Please give flowers, please give evaluation tickets!!!

039. A Great Moment, Zheng He Sets Sail!

"100,000 gold in exchange for a title?"

"What kind of title is worth 100,000 gold?"

Ying Su was very surprised, and at the same time couldn't help but frown!

Li Si said: "Noble!"

"Their ancestors were nobles of the State of Han, but in the period of King Ai of Han, because their ancestors committed a major mistake, their noble title was deleted! From then on, they could only become ordinary commoners!"

"And they hope that the Emperor will restore their noble title for them, letting them return to the nobility!"

"Noble title?"

"Just want a noble title?"

Ying Su frowned again!

Although he didn't quite understand the tricks here, he instinctively felt that this matter wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface!

Li Si explained:

"The noble title itself isn't worth money, but... the profit brought by the noble title is very valuable!"

"One must know, nobles don't have to pay taxes, and nobles' land is private!"

"I have investigated, their ancestors were surnamed Lin, and they were a big family. In the years of King Ai of Han, they had 3,000 qing of fertile land, and just the servants they raised were over a thousand people, and they even had over two thousand private troops!"

"With such an industry, even if placed in the current Great Qin, it counts as a big noble family!"

"Of course, even so, it can't compare to 100,000 gold!"

"However, the nobility has one benefit, which is that it can be inherited!"

"If you are a noble in this generation, your descendants will be nobles forever!"

"As long as the descendants don't commit any major mistakes, their noble title will always be there, even if the dynasty changes and the imperial power changes, the nobility will still exist!"

"Because nobles have grain, land, money, and troops in their hands, so throughout the ages, no emperor has easily moved against the nobles!"

"Xia, Shang, and Zhou were like this, and the transition from the Jin State to the three states of Han, Zhao, and Wei was also like this!"

"When it reached our Great Qin, it was also like this. This is also why the six states were destroyed, but the nobles of the six states still lived comfortably!"

"And looking at it from this angle, exchanging 100,000 gold for a noble title is considered very worthwhile!"

At that moment, Li Si explained.

Ying Su frowned slightly and didn't speak!

For a long time, he looked at Li Si: "Then what about you? What do you think about this matter?"

"Should this noble title be given or not!"

Li Si thought for a moment, didn't answer whether it should be given or not, but said:

"If it is given, then... there are three benefits!"

"First, giving them a noble title can realistically save 100,000 gold!"

"100,000 gold, this is not a small amount, even for the current Your Majesty, it is likewise not a small amount!"

"This 100,000 gold, whether it is put into the national treasury or used to expand the army, is more worthwhile than giving it to them!"

"Second, Your Majesty is a new Emperor, and now is the time to spread your reputation!"

"With the help of this matter, let them pass on a good name for Your Majesty, this is a good thing!"

"Third, preventing the people's mouths is more serious than preventing a river. Although they are ordinary commoners, they also have mouths. If they are unhappy because of this trivial matter, and after they leave Xianyang, they talk nonsense and ruin Your Majesty's reputation, then it will be a loss that outweighs the gain!"

"In short, it's just a noble title. If you give it, it meets their wishes, and Your Majesty can also obtain benefits from it!"

Ying Su smiled: "Then what if I don't give it?"

"Uh..."

Cold sweat began to break out on Li Si's forehead!

After thinking for a long time, he said: "If Your Majesty gives it to them, that is their good fortune, and also Your Majesty's benevolence!"

"And not giving it is because Your Majesty doesn't want to arbitrarily break the rules of Great Qin for promoting to nobility because of a trivial matter!"

"I think it's fine to give or not give, it all depends on Your Majesty's holy decision!"

Li Si said, while bowing!

Ying Su looked at Li Si for a long time and couldn't help but sigh: "Li Si, you really are smart!"

Li Si was scared numb and began to kowtow: "I am terrified!"

Ying Su said:

"You tell me... a country, how can it be considered strong?"

"Ah?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Li Si was confused, his brain buzzing!

Ying Su continued:

"In this world, there are two countries!"

"One country's nobles live better and better!"
