Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

Building a Qin Mausoleum can earn about 3.8 million yuan equivalent to future generations. This is a serious deficit and a waste of state-owned property in future generations!

Not to mention that Ying Zheng favors and trusts Li Yang, even if Ying Zheng is Li Yang's father, he would be so angry that the father would jump up and call him a prodigal son!

It is also because of this that all the censors participated in Li Yang because of the collusion between the government and businessmen, and what they said would be so righteous and impassioned.

You can give the businessman an extra 3.8 million in profits by repairing the Qin Mausoleum that is almost finished. How dare you say it wasn't collusion?If you tell this, no one in the world will believe your nonsense.

Everyone looked at Li Yang, wanting to see how he would answer and how he would quibble. If he dared to say that it was not true, Feng Xiang and his party would attack him together. It was clearly written in the bidding regulations that he dared to quibble.

If he dares to admit it, then there is no need for everyone to attack, and the emperor will not spare him.

Seeing that Li Yang appeared to be a normal person, he bowed his hands to the emperor and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, these prices have been listed in the bidding matters, and the price of the Qinling project that Feng Xiang said is true. "

wow...

Some ministers who had never seen the bidding price were in an uproar again when they heard this!

Everyone was stunned by Li Yang's generous prodigal handwriting.

Is this still the very clever Prime Minister of China?

No matter how stupid a person is, he wouldn't be able to give a businessman such a big profit, right?

At this time, everyone felt that the censors might be right. If Li Yang hadn't colluded with the businessman and profited from it, who would believe it?

The first emperor Yingzheng was also so angry that he almost vomited blood. A Qin Mausoleum that was about to be completed would have a profit of 100 million gold. Li Yang's method of defrauding the Qin treasury has reached the point of insanity!

What's more, this guy Li Yang still looks disapproving. Doesn't this mean that the money is not his own, so he doesn't feel bad at all?

This made Ying Zheng tremble even more.

However, he did not get angry immediately, but suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned to Ji Li Neishi Ji Kai, who was in charge of the treasury's money and food: "Ji Kai, do you know the price of the project bidding? If the above price is used, after the autumn harvest this year Can the tax afford these projects?"

Ji Xie came out and glanced at Li Yang. Although he was Feng Quji's subordinate, he still had his heart for Li Yang, but this time he couldn't cover Li Yang, so he had to say cautiously: "Report Your Majesty, I have indeed read the price of this... project bidding this morning, and according to the price of those projects, to be honest, even if the taxes can be collected in full this year,... it may be difficult to pay for these projects."

This time, Ying Zheng was so angry that his lungs hurt!

The taxes of a country, collected in full, are not enough to pay for those projects.It can be seen that the price of these project funds is already so high that it is terrifying!

Moreover, all the money was spent on projects, what about Daqin Jiangshan Sheji?

Don't you want to support the army, support the government, and various expenses?

Where is this to solve the famine?It is clear that they want the Great Qin Empire to collapse directly!

In the words of later generations, it is to stop the big machine of the country directly.The treasury has lost a penny, the army has mutinied, and officials have gone on strike. It can be said that this will completely lead to the immediate demise of the regime.Even Ying Zheng will become a victim of famine...

Can the emperor not be angry?Whoever becomes the emperor will be furious when he hears his prime minister messing around like this.

boom!

Ying Zheng slapped the desk angrily, pointed at Li Yang, and yelled, "Bold Li Yang! If you can't come up with a reasonable explanation today, I will chop off your stupid head!"

hiss……

The entire hall was silent like a cicada.

Everyone looked at Li Yang, hoping to hear what explanation he could have.

Of course, such a serious deficit in the national treasury, even if there is any reason, it is difficult to justify it, right?

Especially Feng Quji's party, he was already taking pleasure in other people's misfortune.

No matter how much the emperor favored him, the emperor would not let him off lightly if he committed such a serious crime of depleting the treasury this time.

It is not impossible to lose the official position and dismiss the title, or to cut off the head directly.

Of course, Zhang Han and other generals were also contemptuous for a while, thinking that he was so awesome. Before plausibly saying that the chaos must be put down first, it turned out to be such an absurd operation.

Such a deficit in the national treasury, feeding money and food to a group of businessmen, the emperor was so angry that he killed people.

Li Yang looked aggrieved and said, "Your Majesty, if I say that the bidding price is just to attract everyone to bid, it will not be the final project price, then...do you believe it?"

Ying Zheng frowned, and snorted coldly: "You mean, the merchant will lower the price by himself?"

Li Yang nodded: "It is for this reason that the reason why I set the bidding price of the project so high is to attract the 12 rich merchants in Xianyang City to this matter. As long as everyone participates in the bidding, The one with the lowest price wins, and the final transaction price will naturally go down. Not to mention..."

"What's more, say what you have to say, and fart if you have to!" Ying Zheng glared at Li Yang helplessly.

Obviously, the emperor was really hurt by his anger this time.

Li Yangdao: "What's more, this is a matter of benefiting the country and the people. Any businessman with a little patriotism will not be able to take advantage of the disaster to make money. I can guarantee that the final transaction price of each project will be very reasonable. The bidding for this project is a win-win situation.”

"Li Yang, I think you are really confused!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he snorted and said, "You know that businessmen are all profit-seeking, and you think they will lower their prices by themselves? How stupid!"

At this time, Feng Quji also sneered and said: "Prime Minister Zhong, you are really thinking too brightly. Businessmen seek profits, and naturally the bigger the profits, the better, so how can they voluntarily lower prices with each other? Even if there is a little competition, it will If there is enough profit margin left, it is tantamount to wishful thinking to want them to lower the price to a reasonable level. And..."

Speaking of this, Feng Quji glanced at Li Yang, and continued: "Besides, I heard the truth, the grain merchants in Xianyang City have more than doubled the price of chestnut rice during this famine. Such profiteers, It is not an exaggeration to say that they are taking advantage of the disaster to make money."

Zhang Han also said: "What Feng Xiang said is very true. Merchants seek profit, and in their eyes, the word profit is the most important thing. How can they talk about patriotism and love for the people? The Prime Minister of China praised the businessman as so noble. We also feel that Unbelievable!"

A group of civil and military ministers nodded their heads one after another, agreeing with Zhang Han's words very much.

Businessmen love the country and the people?I am afraid that even children will not believe it.

PS: There will be more later, about nine o'clock in the evening.

Chapter 100 Project Bidding Conference

Ying Zheng felt that Li Yang was dreaming after hearing what the ministers said.He really couldn't figure out how such an extremely smart person could become so stupid this time.

So stupid to think that businessmen will change their nature of profit-seeking for the sake of patriotism and love for the people.

Is this still the Li Yang who possesses the wisdom of the heavens, who possesses unrivaled knowledge and wisdom?

Ying Zheng stared at Li Yang for a long time, and finally asked deeply: "Li Yang, if there is a huge shortfall in the transaction price of the project, do you know the consequences?"

These words did carry a deep meaning. Ying Zheng really admired Li Yang as a talent, and had high hopes for him.

Because of the same ambition and the same ideal, Ying Zheng even pinned his ideals in this life on this person.

It was precisely because of this complicated mood that Ying Zheng was even a little worried for Li Yang. If the final project transaction price deviated too much from what Li Yang thought, no matter how much he valued him, he would not be able to protect him.

Because once you protect him, how will you govern the country in the future?
