Chapter 65

Ying Su waved his hand to interrupt him.

"It's okay! I understand you!"

He smiled; he could understand that Li Si couldn't do this!

This didn't have much to do with loyalty!

It was mainly because he had so many nobles behind him.

If he really were to carry out the reform, he wouldn't need others; the group of people behind him would probably be the first to not tolerate him!

Besides this, Li Si also sold paper; once this matter was carried out, how could Li Si sell his paper?

This directly affected his own purse!

Just for the sake of this purse, Ying Su couldn't let Li Si do this!

Ying Su explained all of this clearly.

And after Li Si heard these words, he cried directly and bowed fiercely to Ying Su: "Your Majesty, thank you for your understanding!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty; even if I cannot do this, I will absolutely not let the people behind me cause trouble in this matter!"

He shouted and bowed!

Ying Su nodded with satisfaction!

This Li Si was still sensible!

But sensible as he was, who should handle this matter?

Ying Su's gaze just turned towards Zhang Liang!

But at this moment, Xiao He stood out and bowed to Ying Su: "Your Majesty, I am willing to do this!"

He spoke!

And once these words were out, Ying Su was shocked.

Xiao He... he was actually willing to do this?

For a moment, he couldn't help but look at Xiao He curiously: "Are you not afraid of offending people?"

Xiao He bowed: "Your Majesty is willing to offend the entire civil and military court to make me the Inner Historian of Grain; it is only right and proper for me to do things for Your Majesty!"

"I... will surely give my all!"

After these words were spoken, Ying Su couldn't help but look at Xiao He and praise him.

This Xiao He still had courage!

However... he didn't intend to let Xiao He handle this matter.

It wasn't that he feared Xiao He lacked ability, but... he couldn't bear to let Xiao He handle such an offensive task!

One must know, he was the Inner Historian of Grain, in charge of money, grain, and population!

With this position, he didn't know how many people he had to deal with; if he offended everyone because of this matter, how could he stay in the imperial court in the future?

Therefore, neither Li Si nor Xiao He could handle this matter!

And the only person suitable to handle this matter...

Ying Su looked towards Zhang Liang:

"Mr. Zifang, you are already a wanted criminal of our Great Qin!"

"You shouldn't care about reputation or anything like that, right!"

"Relaxing criminal law, taxation based on land—how about I leave this matter to you?"

"After all, Li Si and Xiao He are both in the court; only you are a commoner!"

He said, smiling at Zhang Liang!

And when Zhang Liang heard this, he panicked on the spot:

"Me?"

He was shocked, his scalp tingling!

And when Li Si saw him like this, he laughed on the spot:

"What? You were so bold just now, but now that it's your turn, you can't do it? If you have the ability, don't just talk on paper; go up directly and see if your relaxed criminal law and taxation based on land can actually be done!"

Li Si's smile was thick; at this moment, he just wanted to see Zhang Liang make a fool of himself!

Zhang Liang could certainly see Li Si's meaning; at that moment, anger surged in his chest, but after pondering for a moment, he still bowed to Ying Su:

"Your Majesty, I... am not suitable!"

"Hmm?"

Ying Su frowned!

Zhang Liang said: "It is not that I am unwilling to be loyal to Your Majesty, nor is it that I am afraid of offending people!"

"It is just that I have no experience as an official, no status, and I am a wanted criminal by the First Emperor; letting me do this to govern a locality, I fear disappointing Your Majesty on one hand, and bringing trouble to Your Majesty on the other!"

"After all, I once assassinated the First Emperor; if the world knows that the new emperor is using a wanted criminal so heavily, how will the world curse Your Majesty?"

"Therefore, I am not suitable!"

"Oh!"

Ying Su nodded and didn't speak!

What kind of nonsense about having no experience as an official, no status, and being a wanted criminal!

In Ying Su's view, these were all excuses!

To put it bluntly, he was just unwilling to be loyal!

Ying Su was very angry about this, but what Zhang Liang said was not entirely unreasonable!

He had assassinated the First Emperor and was a wanted criminal!

This was something that had to be executed in Great Qin!

And he was not included in the general amnesty.

As he was now, just showing his face was a risk!

If he were made an official, it really would be...

Ying Su frowned!

But the problem was, where could he find people?

If there were no people, how could things get done?

Ying Su frowned!

But no matter what, he finally dismissed the idea of finding people!

Not to mention whether he could find suitable people.

Ying Su was too lazy to spend that effort!

The key was that in this era, when it came to fierce generals with the ability to fight, there were not a few!

Xiang Yu, Han Xin, Wang Wang Jian!

They were all fierce men!

But when it came to fierce men with excellent political skills, besides Li Si, Zhang Liang, and Xiao He, there were not many who could be ranked!

And these people had now all been gathered by him!

So what to do?

What could be done?

He could only bring out the system!

And mentioning the system, Ying Su couldn't help but sigh!

Originally, he planned to save up enough points to summon an SSS-level fierce man directly!

But now it seemed he couldn't wait.

If he continued to wait, public grievances would accumulate deeper and deeper, and who knew when news of a rebellion would come.

And speaking of points, Ying Su couldn't help but feel happy!

How many points did he have now?

Hmm... not many, not few, exactly fifty thousand!

Exactly fifty thousand?

How could there be so many?

Hehe!

Besides the daily governance and the points from winning over Li Si, Han Xin, and Xiao He.

The biggest bulk actually came from two things!
