Who knows, family members? The system was intercepted by the First Emperor.

The ladder has been set up here. Zhao Gaoneng rebelled and said: No, Your Majesty, I am actually still a common man. Do I still love money but not my country?

Seeing Ying Zheng's eyes looking at him, Zhao Gao cupped his hands and said, "Although I am not as ambitious as Shilang Li, I am willing to do my best for our country, Qin."

"Okay! Both my dear friends are the pillars of our Qin Kingdom, and I feel very proud of them."

Zhao Gao really didn't want to stay in this sad place anymore. Seeing the harmonious relationship between Li Jiang and Ying Zheng, he wanted to go to a deserted place to silently pay homage to the two bags of money he had cheated by Li Jiang.

After Zhao Gao left, Li Jiang talked to Ying Zheng about whether she could let the head guard Meng Changshan follow her out of the palace in the future.

"I'm afraid that merchants will rush to pay money and it will be unsafe."

Li Jiang said: "Besides, there is also a plaque written by the King himself. How have these people seen the King's handwriting? What if they are all so excited that they get crushed by me?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you lend me Guard Chief Meng for one day and let him and Zhao Gao protect this plaque. When you return to the palace, you can also bring money back to the King."

Ying Zheng thought about it, and it was true that such a large amount of money would not be safe at that time.

"Yes, I asked Chang Shan to lead a team of guards to maintain order."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Jiang was so happy.

[Demon, let you embarrass me, and I will let you carry the plaque when the time comes!I'm so tired of you! 】

Li Jianggang left happily to see the plaque and prepare for the bidding meeting the next day. Li Si and Wei Liao arrived.

They discussed for a long time, and they felt even more worried when they saw the countless merchants coming out of Xianyang City.

Neither of them is worried that Li Jiang will become some enchantress and harm the country. After all, Li Jiang does not have the capital conditions.

But they were worried that the king had set too many precedents for Li Jiang.

She is both a female official and a businessman. If she continues to let things go, I am afraid that one day Li Jiang will become a treacherous minister and start eradicating dissidents.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng burst out laughing after learning the purpose of their visit.

"My dear friends, don't worry too much about her."

Ying Zheng thought about Li Jiang's psychological activities for so long.

"She's just a child who hasn't grown up. She can play around and have fun, but other things..."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "She doesn't have the guts yet."

Even if she had the courage, when she started to think of ways to eradicate her dissidents, Ying Zheng would be able to strike first and not give Li Jiang this opportunity.

Li Si and Wei Liao looked at each other, taking a look at the doting look on the king's face.

Isn’t that true?

If this continues, the king may even believe Li Jiang’s claim that salt is sweet.

"Kings…"

Li Si sighed: "The development of the Qin State has not been easy so far. Your Majesty must fulfill your duties and not slack off."

Ying Zheng could not tell Li Si and others that he could hear Li Jiang's thoughts. No matter what Li Jiang was thinking, he would know it immediately.

So he could only remain silent and repeatedly told Li Si and Wei Liao about his trust in Li Jiang.

This undoubtedly made the two important ministers in the court even more sensitive to Li Jiang.

But soon, they discovered that everyone in the court had turned against them...

Two days later, Li Jiang led two men with dark faces, Zhao Gao and Meng Changshan, who carried plaques out of Xianyang Palace.

This plaque could have been carried by any soldier.

However, Li Jiangqian warned Wan that this was mentioned in the king's own handwriting, so he would not worry if it was handed over to others.

Or do they dislike this plaque personally inscribed by the monarch of Qin?

So Li Jiang was followed by two men with dark faces, carrying a solid wooden plaque like a grudge.

The restaurant that had been booked was already crowded with people. When Li Jiang and his group arrived, the officers and soldiers surrounded the restaurant.

The businessmen and people waiting outside the door were all shocked.

When they saw Li Jiang and others carrying a plaque with the name of the Royal Company on it, they were all excited beyond words.

Even though they all saw the notice posted outside the city wall, even though they saw the notice written by Li Jiang when they arrived at the restaurant.

But they are still afraid and worried.

Worried that this will be all in vain, worried that in the end they will still be the lowest level businessmen.

Now that they saw Li Jiang arriving, everyone's hearts were beating with excitement.

Great, being related to the royal family, then rounding it all off, I will also be a member of the royal family in the future!

Li Jiang led people into the restaurant lobby, and Zhao Gao and Meng Changshan wanted to find a place to hang the plaque.

"Hey, don't hang it up. Take it, hold it up, and those businessmen will have to pay for it later. This is a sign."

Li Jiang stopped the two of them and pointed to the open space in front of her seat: "Here, you guys will stand here holding the plaque in a moment."

"Shilang Li!"

When had Meng Changshan ever suffered such injustice?

"What? This is for the king, to make money for Qin. Don't tell me, you don't want to do it?"

That's right, she just used chicken feathers as arrows, what's wrong?

After Li Jiang finished speaking, she knelt down and sat at the top, raised her chin, and signaled the two of them to quickly lift the plaque. She wanted the merchants to enter.

The merchants wore the worst linen clothes. Such clothes may not be worn in the homes of better ordinary people. Even if the merchants are rich, they are still not allowed to wear silks and satins or gold ornaments.

That's why, when they heard a little bit of news, they came to Xianyang City even if it was an empty trip.

Li Jiang ordered someone to stand in front of the tavern and read out loud the rules of today's election.

"Each merchant must pay one hundred gold upon entry. If you pay the one hundred gold, if you cannot win the election, it will not be refunded."

As soon as these words came out, the people and businessmen standing in front of the tavern began to make an uproar.

One hundred gold, this is not a small amount. If the election fails, it will be lost.

For a while, many people backed down, thinking that this was the imperial court trying to get money in a different way.

"A total of 28 imperial merchants were selected from 28 counties this time."

"If you are selected to move to another county, you can move to the selected county to do business."

As soon as this article came out, the crowd was in an uproar again. Great Qin does not allow people to move casually. It is illegal for you to move quietly.

But now, if you choose to be an imperial merchant in another county, it means that your whole family can move.

"The imperial merchant who succeeds in this election will serve for ten years."

At this point, the soldier who read out the rules raised his head and looked at everyone, and continued in the loudest voice: "Once you are selected as an imperial merchant, you will be relieved of your humble status and return to civilian status!"

After the reading, to everyone's surprise, there was no uproar outside the door this time.

Everyone looked at the soldiers guarding the door in disbelief.

I'm afraid I heard wrong.

An older businessman asked in a low voice and uncertainly: "This official, did you hear correctly just now?"

"If you win the election, can you become a citizen?"

"That's right! Once you are selected, you can become a citizen!"

After receiving the confirmation, no one was stingy with the hundred gold.

As a businessman, you can't wear gold and silver, and you can't afford fine clothes and food, let alone buy land at will.

They have kept it for so many years, why not get a nationality.

So the ministers who were waiting outside to watch Li Jiang's joke watched helplessly as these businessmen threw gold coins into the box without hesitation, just to get a chance to compete.

It seems that the payment is not a hundred gold, but one and a half taels.
