Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 33 Your Majesty has been a bit loud lately!

"The land from Guanxi to the Western Regions, as well as Henan, are all governed by counties. The rest will be divided into territories and enfeoffed by the law of grace!"

It is natural to establish counties and counties in the land of Henan. It was the mature land developed by King Wuling of Zhao, and the water and grass were the most abundant.

As long as it is filled with immigrants, it can provide the empire with a steady stream of war horses and livestock.

You can also cultivate countless fertile fields and grow wheat, rice and potatoes!

However, if the narrow strip from Kansai to the Western Regions is also managed by counties, it will not be worth the gain.

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and seemed to have some realization: "I love you, but you are still thinking about the trade routes in the Western Region and communicating with all countries outside the region?"

Qin Mo had already mentioned matters related to the Western Regions to him, more than once.

Qin Mo nodded: "Exactly, setting up county management in the early stage may require a large investment."

"But once the trade route is opened, countries from all over the world will flock to it, and the counties and counties along the way will surely prosper."

"It can also bring a steady stream of finances and taxes to the empire!"

Seeing his firm words, Ying Zheng couldn't help being speechless. He was silent for a while and then suddenly said: "This time I conquered the barbarians outside the Great Wall. I love you for your hard work and great achievements. I am thinking about how to reward him."

"If not, then I will transfer this land west of Hexi to you and make it a vassal state!"

Qin Mo hurriedly declined: "I don't have..."

Ying Zheng raised his hand to interrupt him: "I have made up my mind. I love you and you don't have to refuse. This is the reward you deserve."

"Only Aiqing knows the importance of Hexi and knows how to govern it."

Qin Mo shook his head firmly and said: "Actually, what I want to say is... I don't have the financial and material resources to develop the land in Hexi."

Ying Zheng looked at him angrily: "My dear, you are so humble again. Every time you have a fantastic idea, you can make a lot of money. I know that, so how can you not have financial and material resources?"

Qin Mo: "..."

I have made a lot of money, but don’t you know where all the money I have gathered has been spent?

Then again, even if I work hard and develop the land west of Hexi, I still won't be plucked by the imperial court if I receive the order.

Picking peaches?

Qin Mo suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Ying Zheng speechlessly.

Ying Zheng, on the other hand, seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

The monarch and his ministers looked at each other for a long time. Qin Mo became more and more speechless, while Ying Zheng's smile became stronger and stronger.

"I'm just trapping myself in a cocoon."

Qin Mo shook his head and sighed: "It doesn't matter, money can be used anywhere, so I took over this stall in Hexi."

With that said, he took out the tiger charm from his pocket and presented it to Ying Zheng.

"I have fulfilled my mission and returned from the expedition beyond the Great Wall with complete success. Please, Your Majesty, take back the military power."

Ying Zheng suppressed his laughter and solemnly took the tiger talisman: "General, thank you for your hard work!"

Then, he bowed his hands and bowed solemnly: "I will still have to rely on you a lot for the affairs of the court in the future. I hope you will spare no effort in your hard work."

This is to ask Qin Mo to continue to serve as prime minister and manage the fiefdom remotely.

Qin Mo bowed back: "Thank you for your majesty's never giving up, I will do my best."

After completing a set of procedures, Qin Mo said goodbye and left.

Ying Zheng watched his figure disappear outside the door, and suddenly he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

This laughter is very unique and has no image.

Zhao Gao, who was accompanying him, didn't seem to be surprised at all. He just looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

However, Fusu was confused. He stared at Ying Zheng who was laughing like an aunt, and something seemed to be broken in his heart!

"Ho ho ho hiccup~"

Ying Zheng burped and finally stopped laughing.

Zhao Gao immediately brought warm water, and Ying Zheng took it to drink the burp. But as soon as he drank the water into his mouth, he saw a dull Fusu out of the corner of his eye.

puff--

Ying Zheng immediately choked and washed Zhao Gao's face.

Zhao Gao: "..."

Your Majesty has been having a bad breath recently. It's time for the doctor to mix some medicine and stones.

Ying Zheng pointed at Fusu with a trembling finger: "Ahem, cough, cough, why are you here?"

Fu Su suddenly came back to his senses, but immediately he felt hopeless and said resentfully: "When my father came out of the Great Wall to greet Prime Minister Qin, my sons and ministers followed him beside Prime Minister Qin."

Ying Zheng coughed even harder: "Cough cough cough..."

How embarrassing!

Are you afraid that you have practiced the magic of invisibility?

Why are you so inconspicuous every time Qin Mo is around?!

"Is your father okay?"

Fusu was very sensible and stepped forward to comfort Yingzheng and showed concern.

Ying Zheng got off the donkey along the slope, waved his hand and said: "Ahem, everything is fine. How much did my son gain when he went out with the army this time?"

"The Prime Minister of Qin loved his sons and ministers very much and rarely allowed them to attend battles in person, so he only beheaded more than ten barbarians." Fusu said modestly.

Ying Zheng looked him up and down: "He is getting darker and thinner, but he is becoming more and more brave."

"When I return to Guanzhong, I will make you the prince and your mother the queen!"

Fusu's body trembled, and all kinds of feelings suddenly came to his heart. He took two steps back and bowed to the ground: "My son... my son..."

When the words came to his lips, he was choked with sobs and could not speak.

Since ancient times, the sons of princes have all been called sons, but the prince is the crown prince.

Since Ying Zheng ascended the throne, he has not established a queen, let alone a prince.

For this reason, all the ministers in the court criticized Fusu, the eldest son, and said that he would not please Ying Zheng.

In fact, the court officials looked down upon him, and secretly and openly lined up with other princes.

Just like Zhao Gao next to him, he had already bet on the young master Hu Hai and became Hu Hai's teacher.

Now that Yingzheng wants to make Fusu the crown prince, the grievances that have been squeezed in his heart for many years are finally released!

…

Later, Fusu came out of the palace with red eyes and saw Qin Mo waiting in the distance.

He hurried forward and bowed to the ground again: "Prime Minister Qin, please accept Fusu's bow!"

Qin Mo stretched out his hand to stop him: "Why is the eldest son like this? I can't bear it."

Fusu just insisted on worshiping: "My father wants to make me the prince and my mother the queen, because it is because Prime Minister Qin led the army to victory!"

Qin Mo nodded suddenly and forcibly helped him upright: "Now that I am the prince, I can't bear it anymore, unless the eldest son wants to harm me."

Fusu had no choice but to give up: "How should Fusu thank Prime Minister Qin?"

Qin Mo was waiting for him here because he had something to do. When he heard what he said, he said politely: "How about giving me some wealth? The more the merrier!"

"I feel worried when I think about developing the land west of Hexi."

Fu Suhao waved his hand angrily and said: "It's a small matter of wealth. When I return to Guanzhong, I will give Prime Minister Qin ten thousand dollars."

Qin Mo smacked his lips: "Tsk~!"

Fusu was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "That's fifty thousand dollars."

Qin Mo smacked his lips again: "Tsk~!"

Fusu probably didn't expect that he had such a big appetite, and said awkwardly: "The ministers didn't love me in the past, and I had very little income. All in all, I'm afraid I only have one hundred thousand dollars."

Qin Mo immediately bowed his hands and said, "Thank you so much, eldest son, for your generous donation."

Fusu: "..."

Fusu's face turned green, and he gave Qin Mo one hundred thousand dollars. He was afraid that he would have to eat at his mother's place every day.

But if you say it out loud, it's hard to take it back. It's so embarrassing!

Fu Su was feeling embarrassed when Qin Mo suddenly stood up and said to the distance: "Zhao Mansion, please be patient, we have something to discuss with you!"
