Chapter 43

He needs a direction.

And the person who formulates this direction...

Ying Su looked at Zhang Liang again.

Finally, he walked towards him!

This time, Zhang Liang was still in that furious look!

Although he couldn't speak, the fierceness in those eyes was undisguised!

And facing this situation, Ying Su just smiled, then took the cloth out of his mouth, and then untied him.

Finally, he took the water bottle and smiled at Zhang Liang: "Mr. Zifang, you haven't drunk water for a day, are you thirsty?"

"Hmph!"

Zhang Liang snorted angrily and turned his head away: "Kill if you want, scrape if you want!"

"Oh!"

Ying Su responded, then put the water bottle next to Zhang Liang, and shouted to the crowd:

"Return to the palace!"

At that moment, the team went towards the Xianyang Palace in a grand manner.

As for Zhang Liang...

This time, he wasn't tied to the carriage, but was escorted behind Ying Su.

As for the water bottle... it was the same as when Ying Su gave it to him.

Even though his mouth was already dry, he didn't drink Ying Su's water!

And seeing this scene, Li Si couldn't help but say: "Emperor, is it worth spending 100,000 gold to catch him?"

"That's 100,000 gold!"

Li Si said, when Ying Su issued this edict at the beginning, he wanted to object, but at that time the edict was issued, and he couldn't say anything.

And now, 100,000 gold was spent, and Zhang Liang was caught, but the result was this bird-like look, which made Li Si angry.

He always felt that Ying Su had wasted this 100,000 gold!

Likewise, he felt that Zhang Liang wasn't worth 100,000 gold!

One must know, that was the total income from selling paper for more than ten days!

Even now, thinking of that 100,000 gold, Li Si felt his heart ache.

However... Ying Su smiled and didn't say anything.

Still the same sentence, Zhang Liang is worthy!

The Three Heroes of Early Han, not one of them is a weakling!

The Three Heroes of Early Han, each one taken out separately in history is a unique existence!

Don't say spending 100,000 gold on Zhang Liang, even if it were more, Ying Su would think it's worth it!

Half a day later, the Xianyang Palace arrived, Ying Su specially arranged a room for Zhang Liang in the Xianyang Palace, and had special people to serve him day and night, and guard him day and night!

Not afraid of anything else, just afraid of him committing suicide!

Not only that, but also have to feed him regularly, so that he wouldn't do any hunger strike and starve himself to death!

If that happened, Ying Su's 100,000 gold would really be wasted!

And as for Han Xin, he had already ordered Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, and others to start posting recruitment notices.

From today on, he was going to start recruiting troops.

Just as Ying Su said, he wasn't afraid of recruiting too many troops, he was only afraid of recruiting too few.

With Ying Su's words, Han Xin was full of energy, and just that day, Xianyang City was covered with recruitment notices!

And on the other side, Li Si's paper was also selling well!

At the beginning, Li Si predicted that this paper might have an annual income of 10 million coins.

But now it seems that Li Si still far underestimated the nobles' love for paper!

Now, paper has been sold for a month, and the total account for this month simply scared Li Si to death.

20 million coins!

One month, 20 million coins!

This month was two times more than the income Li Si predicted for a year!

At that moment, even Li Si felt his scalp tingling.

However... after checking the accounts carefully, he told Ying Su that everything wasn't that optimistic.

The reason why it sold so much this month was entirely because it was the first month, it was a novelty, and there were many, many components of merchants buying it!

If merchants bought it, of course the quantity was large!

After all, they wanted to sell it to all parts of the country.

By next month, paper might not sell well.

It is estimated that at most, at most, there will be 2 million coins!

By the third month, it might be even less!

Fourth month...

Li Si said, he felt that the current grand occasion was consuming future potential!

Ying Su also thought Li Si was right!

However... he didn't care!

According to the initial plan, linen paper, grass paper, and Xuan paper, these three things can be sold for at most three years!

At most three years, the price of paper will drop significantly, not to say it will become as cheap as in modern society, but it is inevitable to return to the price of the Tang and Song dynasties!

Because, wanting a country to be strong, you can't do without letting more people read and write!

And once it involves reading and writing, the price of paper cannot be too expensive!

Selling paper like this now, to put it nicely, is selling paper, but to put it ugly, it is bleeding the nobles to feed oneself.

When the price of paper comes down, the nobles' blood will be bled enough, and he will be almost full!

And with money in hand, he can do many, many things to give back to the people of the entire Great Qin!

The next morning, another grand morning court began!

And it was also at this grand morning court that Ying Su decided to announce a decision to all the civil and military officials!

"Minister of Agriculture Sima Yan, where are you?"

Ying Su shouted!

As soon as these words were spoken, Sima Yan was scared to the point of trembling all over!

He didn't know what he had done wrong, and he asked himself that he had never offended Ying Su!

From beginning to end, he was respectful to Ying Su.

But... even if he had no ghosts in his heart, hearing Ying Su call his name, he still felt afraid!

Sigh!

Ever since Ying Su ascended the throne, everything he did was too ruthless!

Because Chunyu Yue had mentioned the enfeoffment system earlier, he killed Chunyu Yue!

Because he wanted to find a saltpeter mine, he drove all the alchemists and sorcerers in the Xianyang Palace out of the Xianyang Palace to find the saltpeter mine.

I heard that because of this, he cut off several people's tongues, and even... killed several!

Ruthless!

Too ruthless!

Therefore, in the imperial court, even if many people hadn't done anything wrong, they instinctively felt afraid when they heard Ying Su call their names!

And as Sima Yan stood out, Ying Su didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"You are old, it's time to let the virtuous take your place!"

"I announce that from today on, the position of Minister of Agriculture will be held by Xiao He!"

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

041. Compared to Ying Zheng, Ying Su is More Cruel!

"Sima Yan is old? Let the virtuous take his place?"
