"I want to see the results within a year."

Hubu Shangshu nodded quickly after hearing this.

"Moreover, it must be done in secret. You will supervise it yourself. There is a Shenji Battalion stationed outside the city. They will be responsible for protecting the forest."

After Hubu Shangshu heard this, he nodded slowly and said: "Yes, I will do it now."

After leaving Xianyang Palace, Hubu Shangshu looked at the seeds in his hand with curiosity.

I don't know what can be planted from the few seeds His Majesty gave me.

Why do you have to personally supervise the planting of trees when you are a dignified household secretary?
What is this going to do?
Do you want to send Shenjiying to personally supervise and supervise?

What kind of magic seed is this?

Need to use the military?
Although Hubu Shangshu was full of curiosity in his heart, he couldn't refuse.

After all, this is the emperor's order.

He had no choice but to do it obediently.

After returning to the mansion, the Minister of the Household Department hurriedly took several small officials from the Household Department to the outside of the city, where the Shenji Camp was stationed.

And at the gate of the Shenji Battalion station, land was reclaimed for planting trees.

The officer of the Shenji Battalion at the side came over and said, "My lord, what do you want?"

Upon seeing this, Shangshu Hubu smiled awkwardly and explained: "Oh, that's how it is. Your Majesty ordered me to wait and come to plant trees."

"Plant a tree?"

When the officer heard this, he was also dumbfounded.

"That's good, what kind of tree do you plant?"

asked the officer.

Hubu Shangshu smiled again, and then said: "That's it, Your Majesty said, this kind of seed is very precious, and it is my Great Qin's secret! He said that I should plant it near the Shenji Camp, and the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Camp , responsible for protecting these saplings.”

After hearing this, the officer nodded slowly and said, "That's it!"

"Hiss—that's really strange."

Although curious in his heart, the officer didn't think much about it.

Anyway, soldiers, it is their bounden duty to obey orders.

Whatever His Majesty says, he just does it.

It's useless to ask so many questions.

Besides, I am a small officer of the Shenji Battalion, and I have no right to see His Majesty.

And this matter that the Minister of the Ministry of Households doesn't know, doesn't he know even less?
In short, the work arranged by His Majesty can be done well.

So, after Hubu Shangshu and others finished planting the rubber trees, the people from Shenji Camp immediately mobilized troops to guard the grove day and night.

In the early morning of the next day, Ying Zigao said in front of all civil and military officials: "By the way, there are still many things to deal with during this period of time. Regarding the conquest of Dongying, let's delay it for a while."

"After all, to fight against the outside world, the inside must be settled first. Even if the chaos of the hundred schools and the remnants of the six countries have not been cleaned up, I also feel that launching an external war at this time is really the worst policy."

Hearing this, the Minister of War stood up and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Wei Chen feels that, judging by the national strength of our Great Qin, it is easy to deal with those Japanese pirates!"

"There is no need to worry about the domestic situation at all, as long as His Majesty orders! Daqin's 50 soldiers! At your disposal!"

"The country of the Japanese will be set on the ground!"

After hearing this, Ying Zigao nodded slowly, waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I know what you mean."

"For war, we need to allocate funds. Now, the Ministry of War still lacks a minister. Your two servants are the bosses."

"Is it true that you don't have enough money?"

Although Ying Zigao's tone was very relaxed and he didn't seem to want to kill, the Minister of the Ministry of War still trembled all over!
I am afraid that my small thoughts will be seen through by His Majesty.

He quickly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty! I dare not!"

"My humble minister is conscientious! For my great Qin country! How dare you embezzle military expenses?"

After hearing this, Ying Zigao smiled helplessly, then waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, how can I not know about your little thoughts?"

"To be honest, I know all of you who are greedy for money or not."

"However, I have always been a very open-minded person."

"How many officials are not corrupt?"

"As long as you don't touch my bottom line, I can turn a blind eye or close one eye."

"Occasionally a little bit of greed, it doesn't make a big difference, don't chill the hearts of the common people, don't give me the money that should be used in the right place, and let me be greedy, that's fine."

"During this period, whether it's military expenses or infrastructure expenses, as long as it involves the national treasury, the money I will spend must be only a lot more."

"But I have never seen you give me more refunds and less compensation."

"What does that mean? Hehehe...all of you, are you all taking me for a fool?"

"I just see through and don't tell the truth."

"After all, your annual salary is indeed very small."

"But it is because of your greed! I have reduced your annual salaries to the same amount as ordinary people."

"In this way, no matter how greedy you are, the treasury is still sufficient."

"Anyway, there's nothing going on recently, I'll just leave the words here!"

"Which department, department, etc. did the funds allocated by me go to? You can put the rest of the money in your own pockets while you are completing your own work."

"But the bottom line is, you must do the work I have arranged for me!"

"You've done it, and the rest of the money will be my reward to you!"

"If you don't do well, or... use some other excuse to defraud me of funds, then don't blame me for being rude!"

Hearing this, everyone present was in a cold sweat!
But thinking about it carefully, the emperor Ying Zigao is already pretty good.

For some innocuous and trivial matters, they always turn a blind eye and close one eye, seeing through without telling the truth.

After all, no matter how you fight against corrupt officials, you can't finish it.

As long as you can do practical things, whether it is for the people or for the country, then it doesn't matter if you are a little greedy and make your life better.

The important thing is that you must not touch Ying Zigao's bottom line.

After being the emperor for so many years, Ying Zigao's temperament, and the ministers present have already understood very, very well.

They knew very well that Ying Zigao was very magnanimous for anything that didn't involve the bottom line.

But if you hit the bottom line, then...

They will die without a place to bury them!

Ying Zigao always has a way to know their every move.

At this time, Ying Zigao suddenly realized that the Ministry of War still lacks a minister, so he looked at Zhao Yun and said, "By the way, General Zhao, at present, the Ministry of War still lacks a minister, so...you will be in charge!"

"I declare that Zhao Yun, in addition to being the Great General Protecting the Country of Great Qin, has the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and Superintendent!"
