Chapter 17 How to Stabilize People's Livelihood

If Ying Manyin had fantasized about the fairy world, then she might really be standing in the fairy world now.

The bubbles are colorful and beautiful under the sunlight.

Even the royal princess, who was used to seeing jewels and jewels, was completely moved by this pure beauty.

"This... how did you do it?"

Zhao Gang said with a faint smile: "I can't tell you how to do it, but I tell you, this thing will belong to you from now on, if you want, just press this."

After all, Zhao Gang gestured.

Ying Manyin held the bubble machine in her arms, looked at Zhao Gang in front of her and smiled: "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."

"Take me in if you like!"

Ying Manyin nodded heavily and walked quickly towards Zhangtai Palace with Zhao Gang.

In Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng and Wang Ben were all focused on military and political affairs, and they did not remember that Zhao Gang was still waiting under the high platform.

A servant came in quickly and whispered next to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, Princess Nine is out to see you."

"Oh, Man Yin is here, let her enter the palace quickly."

The chamberlain hesitated for a moment and then said: "The Ninth Princess is not alone."

"Not alone?"

Ying Zheng was a little puzzled.

Wang Ben next to him reacted quickly, slapped his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, I forgot Zhao Gang outside, I'm afraid he..."

A trace of helplessness appeared on Ying Zheng's face when he heard this.

In the whole world, Zhao Gang is probably the only guy who regards the imperial palace as his home.

Ordinary people would not have the courage to speak to the princess when they saw her, or even approach her.

That is to say, he not only dared to strike up a conversation, but also dared to direct the princess to do things.

I don't know what ecstasy soup he poured into Man Yin.

"Xuan they come in, I just have something to ask him."

"Hi."

After the servant retreated for a while, Ying Manyin led Zhao Gang into the hall.

Ying Manyin, who had just received a gift, was so happy, she took her bubble machine and came to Ying Zheng's side excitedly.

"Father, look quickly."

Ying Zheng looked at the pig-head-shaped bubble machine in front of him, then at Zhao Gang: "Is this from you?"

Zhao Gang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I can't help it. A small gift is given to the princess as a gift."

Holding the bubble machine in her hands, Ying Manyin glanced at Zhao Gang with a shy face.

The daughter's appearance naturally fell into the eyes of Ying Zheng, a father.

It would be a lie to say I'm not jealous.

But he suddenly thought of an important thing.

Just now he was discussing with Wang Ben how to tie Zhao Gang's heart.

If Man Yinxia were to marry Zhao Gang, Zhao Gang would become his son-in-law.

As the saying goes, if a son-in-law is half a son, he is completely tied to Da Qin.

No matter which son succeeds to the throne in the future, can he, his brother-in-law, still sit back and do nothing?

Thinking of this, he made a decision in his heart.

"Stinky boy, what are you asking me for?"

"Your Majesty, you still owe me a promise. Didn't I come to His Majesty to fulfill it!"

A glimmer of cloud flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes when he heard this.

Naturally, he would not hesitate to honor what should be fulfilled, but there must be a limit.

If this speed exceeds the established range of the dynasty, even if Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and cashed in, he would probably find a way to get it back sooner or later.

"What do you want me to reward you for?"

"I want His Majesty to reward me with a piece of land. It doesn't need to be too big, four or five hundred acres is enough."

"Land? What do you want land for?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

"I'm going to build a factory."

"factory?"

Hearing that Zhao Gang was not bargaining, Ying Zheng became interested.

"It's just a big workshop. My uncle's backyard has been smoky to complete the [-] sheets of paper for His Majesty. I plan to expand my business, so I need a bigger place. I want to buy land, but I can't find it." To a suitable place, so I can only ask His Majesty to reward me with a piece of wasteland for me to build a factory."

After hearing Zhao Gang's appeal, the smile on Ying Zheng's face appeared again.

"In this case, I will give you eight hundred acres of wasteland. As for where to choose, you can decide by yourself. You can tell Zheng Guo when the time comes."

Zheng Guo is a master hydraulic engineer in the Qin State, and he is also a minister around Ying Zheng. Now he is in charge of farming and mulberry fields. Zhao Gang naturally needs to buy land through him.

With Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Gang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I originally planned to buy it, but now I can save money directly.

With this money as start-up capital, Zhao Gang can quickly expand the scale of production.

As for the sales channel, he never worried about it.

After all, this is a product of the crushing era. As long as he is a scholar, it is estimated that no one can match his charm.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have nothing else to do and will take my leave first."

"Wait!"

Ying Zheng looked angrily at Zhao Gang in front of him.

I'm afraid he is the only one in the world who dares to leave without his own edict.

"Stinky boy, I didn't let you leave, who allowed you to go. Just now, Marquis Tong Wu presented me with three strategies for governing the country, and I ask you, if you implement it according to your method, can Daqin really destroy the Xiongnu and establish an eternal foundation? "

Zhao Gang shook his head: "I don't know if we can establish a foundation for all ages, but at least Daqin can continue to be strong."

Everything that Yingzheng has done in this life is only for Daqin to be strong forever.

"Actually, Your Majesty is guilty."

The hall was suddenly eerily quiet.

Wang Ben looked at Zhao Gang in front of him, his mouth was slightly opened and he was speechless.

Ying Manyin looked even more horrified.

Ying Zheng's face darkened instantly, and he stroked Tian Wen's sword hilt with his palm.Those who are familiar with his habits know that this is a sign that he is ready to kill.

"What did you say?" Ying Zheng's voice was low, and he stared at Zhao Gang with a pair of tiger eyes. He exuded a faint murderous aura, which made the temperature in the hall drop a lot.

Zhao Gang smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty's majesty and majesty have shocked the past and the present a little bit, but sometimes, if you take big steps, it's easy to mess up. Building the Great Wall and building the imperial mausoleum can exhaust the people of the Six Kingdoms, but it's still difficult to make the Six Kingdoms feel ashamed." The people are truly integrated into the Great Qin. All should be sparse rather than blocked, and cleverness must be used to solve problems."

"For example, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the six countries, and they are scattered all over the country. They are always a hidden danger. If you don't subdue them, big trouble will happen sooner or later. Your Majesty can let them build the Great Wall and the imperial tomb, or don't let them eat enough. If you wear warm clothes, you can even kill them. But these soldiers have family members and friends. These people have great resentment against the Great Qin, and are extremely detrimental to His Majesty's rule. Now that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are roaming around, if these people rise up, the land of China may be destroyed. The flames of war will turn into smoke again.”

When Ying Zheng heard this, a little cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

"In that case, what should I do?"

"The key to accepting the soldiers is to eliminate the barrier between them and the Great Qin. Among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, except for a small number of die-hard loyalists from the Six Kingdoms, most of the soldiers are hard-working people. I want to eat and clothe myself, and I just want my family to live a good life. As long as you can make them live a good life, who of them will go all out with their heads up, do you think they are all fools?"

Ying Zheng and Wang Ben looked at each other scolded!

The two hesitated to speak, and wanted to refute several times, but in the end they were speechless!

Ying Manyin looked at Zhao Gang with admiration in his eyes.

Who is his father?
That is the godless king who unified the six countries and ended hundreds of years of war.

Blaming him in public, the courage to speak out is enough to make people admirable.

"As long as His Majesty promises that they will be worthy of their crimes and meritorious deeds, and even allow them to obtain titles, I believe that these hundreds of thousands of soldiers will immediately cry out to follow Daqin to destroy the Xiongnu."

"Before I said that we want to expand the Western Regions, Your Majesty can send all these people to the Hexi Corridor. First, they can defend the important military area of ​​the Hexi Corridor for the Great Qin, and second, they can prevent them from uniting with the rebellion of the Six Nations. Not out In ten or eight years, these people and their descendants will add millions of people to the Qin Dynasty and a steady stream of taxes."

Zhao Gang's eloquence was eloquent, and Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard it.

"Then what should we do to stabilize people's livelihood?"

Zhao Gang coughed twice and said: "After talking for a long time, my mouth is dry, please enjoy some tea, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and a court lady came forward to serve tea.
