Da Qin: Father!I really just want to protect myself!

This is actually able to extract salt from sea water, which sounds very outrageous.

But now Yingzheng is very clear that there is no problem with this statement, so he nodded slightly, "That's right!"

Even if he got an affirmative answer, Wang Jian and Li Si still found it inconceivable.

Li Si said, "The sea water can extract salt, and it's such a fine salt, it's really incredible!"

But Wang Jian still didn't fully believe it, "Your Majesty, aren't you still joking with the old minister?"

"If that's the case, it's completely unnecessary. The old minister ate salt as sugar just now, and there is nothing he can't accept."

Ying Zheng looked serious, "This matter is related to the survival of Daqin, can I joke with you?!"

After the words fell, Ying Zheng's eyes fell on the two of them coldly.

Seeing Ying Zheng's serious appearance, the two also knew that Ying Zheng was not joking.

The two looked at each other and had no choice but to accept the fact.

Then Li Si asked again: "May I ask Your Majesty, how much salt is there now?"

Ying Zheng's face was indifferent, "The words now are enough for the whole Daqin!"

Li Si was startled, "Is it enough for Daqin?!"

Ying Zheng nodded, "That's right, if it wasn't for this amount, would you dare to release this news?"

But upon hearing this, Wang Jian couldn't help cupping his hands, "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Si also bowed his hands, and his eyes fell on Ying Zheng with great admiration, "Yes! Thanks to His Majesty's wise decision, Daqin is now saved!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were cold, "Didn't you all oppose the widows together before?"

Li Si's face froze, but he didn't know how to answer.

It was Wang Jian who came to his senses, pointed at Li Si and said, "It's none of the old minister's business, Your Majesty, it was Prime Minister Li who asked the old minister to do this!"

Li Si:. . . . . .

Chapter 132 Even if I go through fire and water, I will not hesitate

Knowing that these two people acted in this way for Da Qin's sake, Ying Zheng didn't care about it.

He waved his hands calmly, "Forget it, let's leave it at that. The most urgent thing now is to arrange the salt slowly and distribute it to various places to solve the difficulties of the people."

Li Si stood up directly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, just leave it to my minister, and I will be able to do it as quickly as possible!"

Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Li Si, and he nodded slightly, "Of course no one knows about your strength, but there is one thing that must be paid attention to, and it must be done in secret!"

Li Si was taken aback, "Secretly? Why?"

"Your Majesty's move is to save the people of Daqin from the dire straits, and the beneficiaries are at least in the millions. If it is spread, it must be an admirable move."

"Whether it's for His Majesty or the Great Qin royal family, this is an excellent opportunity to gain a good reputation!"

As he spoke, Li Si looked at Ying Zheng with puzzled eyes.

Wang Jian was also very puzzled, "Yes, Your Majesty, this is of great benefit not only to the people of the world, but also to the Qin army!"

"Even if it gets out, it's definitely a feat through the ages. Why must it be done in secret?"

As a general, he is very aware of how useful this salt is to the army, and it can definitely be said to be a priceless treasure.

So it was difficult for him to understand why Ying Zheng did this secretly.

Facing the doubts of the two, Ying Zheng was not going to hide anything, and his eyes fell, "Why do you think I did this in secret before, even if all the officials objected?"

Li Si and Wang Jian's gazes were slightly fixed, obviously starting to think about this matter carefully.

After a while, Li Si seemed to have thought of something, and he cupped his hands and said, "This matter is of great importance, involving the survival of the entire Great Qin, so naturally we should handle it with care!"

"Moreover, salt is such a priceless treasure that anyone would covet its value. If it is targeted by thieves, it will cause unnecessary trouble."

"In this way, it is an extremely wise decision to proceed in secret!"

Hearing this, Wang Jian nodded slightly, "The old minister also thinks so."

Regarding this statement, Ying Zheng also nodded slightly in agreement, "That's right, there is indeed a reason for this."

"But there is another one. Because there are requirements for the salinity of seawater, the seawater at the border is the most suitable, so this seawater is bought from the border and specially transported back!"

"And if the Peacock Dynasty, which sells sea water, knows the function of sea water, what should it do?"

Li Si's expression changed slightly, "If this is the case, even if you can buy this sea water, it will be a sky-high price, and it must be a great burden for Daqin."

Ying Zheng nodded, "That's right, now you understand why the widow wants you to do it secretly, right?"

Li Si nodded, "I understand!"

Seeing Li Si's suddenly enlightened appearance, Wang Jian also nodded, "The old minister also understands."

Hearing this, Yingzheng's eyes fell on Wang Jian, "Oh? Then tell me."

Wang Jian's face froze immediately.

But his reaction was also extremely fast, and he turned his head to look at Li Si next to him, "Prime Minister Li, I will give you the opportunity to perform, so perform well!"

Hearing that Li Si wasn't going to refuse, he just stood up.

But as soon as he stood up, Ying Zheng said, "You don't need to talk, just do it!"

Li Si:. . . . .

Wang Jian:. . . . .

"Yes!" Li Si didn't say much, but just agreed.

After giving orders, Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to let the two of them leave, but continued: "By the way, I have another idea. I wonder if you would like to go with me?"

Seeing this, Zhao Gao cupped his hands, "If your Majesty has something to do, just order it, and as a minister, I will follow you to the death. Who would like to say that!"

Li Si and Wang Jian also clasped their hands, "Your Majesty, please give me instructions!"

"Your Majesty please order!"

Hearing this, Yingzheng said lightly, "Now that the Peacock Dynasty is so active in selling seawater to Daqin, it must be because I believe I am addicted to fish!"

"I want the widows to abandon the government and cause Great Qin to decline, otherwise they would not be so courteous!"

Li Si cupped his hands, "Your Majesty's guess is right. When I was in charge of buying and selling the sea water, the Maurya Dynasty was really active. The people who sold the sea water almost had their mouths crooked!"

"Thinking about it now, this is killing two birds with one stone for them! Not only can they use sea water to make money, but it can also make my Great Qin waste. There is a reason for being so happy!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, "Now what do you think the amount of sea water should be?"

Li Si reacted very quickly, and quickly replied: "This seawater can extract such fine salt, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure. Naturally, the more the better!"

Ying Zheng nodded, "Now they just think that the widow is addicted to fish and so actively sell the sea water, then if they know that the ministers are also led astray by the widow!"

"Not only the emperor, but even the most powerful ministers are obsessed with fish farming?"

Li Si was slightly surprised, "If that's the case, they will definitely be more active, sell as much sea water as possible, and destroy the Great Qin Dynasty as soon as possible!"

Wang Jian nodded, "The old minister thinks so too."

Zhao Gao's expression was also very surprised, "In this way, besides the salt that Daqin needs, we can have a lot of salt left over to sell! The income is unimaginable!"

Ying Zheng's eyes became serious, "But this matter will be scolded by the world, you may do it!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Si cupped his hands, "For the sake of Daqin, even if I go through fire and water, I will not hesitate, why should I be afraid of a few insults?"

Wang Jian and Zhao Gao also bowed their hands together when they heard the words.

"The old minister is the same!"

"It's the same for Weichen!"

……

On the other side, a young general was galloping towards Xianyang with a team of troops.

The strong black horse made a huge "click" sound on the ground, the general's eyes were sharp, and his aura was even more extraordinary.

This person is none other than Wang Jian's grandson, Wang Li.

While galloping wildly on the black horse, Wang Li's eyes turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Brother Hai, I'm back!"

"Don't worry, there are brothers here, and I will do my best to help you ascend to the throne!"

After the words were finished, Wang Li swung his whip and lashed the horse's buttocks, and the black horse galloped away again.

On the endless plain, the army pulled up a long smoke, blocking the sun from the sky.

Chapter 133 I'm willing to bet and admit defeat

Xianyang.

As the grandson of veteran Wang Jian and the son of Wang Ben, Wang Li's status in the palace is not low.

Moreover, he studied at the border with Wang Ben this year and made a lot of contributions in guarding Baiyue.

So as soon as they heard the news that Wang Li was coming back, many officials rushed over to meet Wang Li so that they could get acquainted and get closer.

In this way, it will definitely be of great benefit to my career in the future!

However, Wang Li didn't see any of these officials, and went back to his palace directly.

Inside the palace, Wang Li took a sip of tea, while a general in white armor waited beside him.

"How's the investigation going?"

Putting down the teacup, Wang Li asked with a slightly cold gaze.

The general cupped his hands, "Return to the general, I have inquired through the eunuchs in the palace, and now the most favored one is Gongzi Lan."

Wang Li frowned, "Young Master Lan? Isn't that guy a famous trash? How could His Majesty love him?"

The general cupped his hands, "I heard that it was a coincidence that he got some treasures by luck, and thus barely won His Majesty's favor, and there is no other real talent!"

"However, His Majesty was temporarily confused by his appearance, so now he is named Tiance Son. At present, it seems that he is the most promising person to become the crown prince."

Hearing this, Wang Li's expression became more serious, "Tiance? Your Majesty even gave this job to that guy?!"

He knew very well what this position represented in his heart. It was not only status and rights, but also showed how much Ying Zheng attached importance to him.

And once he sat in this position, he was close to becoming a prince.

As long as Yu Sheng doesn't make any big mistakes, it can be said that the position of the prince will be stable.

But at the same time, once he is named Tiance Son, the princes and officials in the palace will have countless eyes watching him all the time.

After a moment of silence, the corners of Wang Li's mouth curled up slightly, "Okay! If that's the case, let's clean up from this strategist, this will be the first stumbling block I will remove for Brother Hai!"

The general at the side frowned when he heard the words, and his expression was even more solemn, "The subordinate understands the general's persistence, but it's not appropriate to say that because of that persistence, he has to use Tian's strategy?"

"After all, His Majesty loves him so much. If this matter is exposed, His Majesty will blame him, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Wang Li's eyes changed slightly, "Of course I know this, so I have to choose the method carefully. Even if His Majesty knows it, there is no way to blame it."

The general cupped his hands, "The general is wise!"

······

palace.

Ying Lan lay on the rocking chair and looked at the blueprint of the compass in his hand, and couldn't help muttering, "The materials and blueprints are almost ready."

"But if it's so complicated, ordinary craftsmen should really be unable to make it?"

"The words of a suitable craftsman... Mohist?"

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a maid came in, "My lord, General Wang Li is asking to see you!"

Ying Lan was taken aback, "Wang Li?"

For Wang Li, Ying Lan just knew his name and met him a few times, but he was not familiar with him.

As for the reason, it was also very simple. Ying Lan naturally didn't want to get too close to Wang Jian's grandson who was destined to have a lot of resources from birth and would always attract attention.

After all, if it is so close, it will inevitably attract many dark eyes.

After a moment of silence, Ying Lan frowned, but she became a little puzzled, "What is he here for?"

The maid shook her head slightly, "He didn't explain why he came, he only said that he had something very important to do!"
