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

Chapter 53 Baiyue Land, the disaster of Xiang Chu’s restoration of the country!

Is Qin Mo short of money and food?

Shortage! But not lacking either!

The reason is that he wants to open more schools and does not want to spend all his limited funds on building the Hexi Corridor.

There is no shortage because there are many industries. If you are idle or become a part-time doctor, you will have the energy to develop more industries.

Relying on these industries, we can also open schools all over Daqin, even faster!

Therefore, the officials who wanted to use money and food to restore Qin Mo's position were completely out of their minds.

Moreover, Ying Zheng was mostly hesitant about getting him back.

Maybe 60%, but at most 70%, otherwise the ministers would not be able to come forward.

If he really had to do it, with Ying Zheng's Lei Li popular temperament, he should have found or summoned him in person...

Qin Mo felt that it was necessary to let Ying Zheng stop thinking, so as to save him from awkwardness and give him no leisure time!

"The generosity of all the gentlemen is greatly appreciated by Mo."

"However, there is no need to mention the matter of returning to the prime minister. Mo Yi wants to go to Hexi to join the vassal state. He will set off on the day when Zhidao is built out of Guanzhong."

"In the meantime, Mo will straighten out the affairs of the feudal state. If your Majesty still has the intention to appoint him as Prime Minister, it will not be too late for Mo to return to Xianyang!"

Qin Mo's tone was firm and there was no room for comment.

After that, he held the washed and skinned hare in one hand and Yu Ji in the other and walked out.

Speaking of this, the officials did not dare to stop him anymore and could only helplessly watch him drift away.

After a long while, a certain Tingwei surnamed Li suddenly said with a strange expression: "Did the Marquis of Qin say just now that he has received his heart or received it?"

All the ministers were stunned, and then their eyes widened.

If you accept it with your heart, that is called polite rejection.

If you receive it, that’s called acceptance.

This is how vast and profound Chinese culture is, and one word can make a huge difference.

They clamored to help Qin Mo build a feudal state and contract the money and food spent on building the straight road, on the condition that Qin Mo returned to his position.

Qin Mo, on the other hand, refused to return to prime minister, but accepted their donation and did not follow the routine at all!

Of course, the ministers can also pretend to be stupid and refuse to give, it depends on who is more shameless...

Fusu looked at the constipated expressions of the ministers and almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. Obviously, the ministers were all shameless people.

If you want face, you will bleed profusely!

"Uh, cough, cough."

When the ministers were in a state of confusion, a fake cough sounded, bringing the ministers back to reality.

He looked up and saw that Qin Mo had left and returned.

"Gentlemen, after careful consideration, I feel that the affairs of the feudal state are not as important as the affairs of the Qin Dynasty after all, and Mo should stay and continue to be the prime minister." Qin Mo said seriously.

The ministers looked at each other in confusion, and then asked suspiciously: "Is the Marquis of Qin a joke?"

Qin Mo shook his head: "I am not joking. Not only do I want to regain my position, but I also want to report the method of making concrete to the court."

The ministers were overjoyed. Their original goal was to rush towards the concrete.

It was only Ying Zheng's messiness and interference that led to unforeseen complications.

If Qin Mo agrees to return to the prime ministership and also reports the secret recipe of concrete to the court, that will really be the best of both worlds!

But thinking about it this way, the officials became even more suspicious: "Why did Prime Minister Qin suddenly change his mind?"

Qin Mo pointed to the concrete on the construction site and said: "This land is of great benefit to the country and the people. I only give rough tips. The specific material compatibility and firing methods will be studied by the students of Daqin Academy."

"If you report the secret recipe, the court should reward you!"

The ministers suddenly had black lines on their heads. They were willing to help Qin Mo build a straight road with money and food, mostly because of the concrete.

Just like what Ying Zheng said, since he promised to return to the prime minister, it is natural for him to use the secret method of concrete to benefit the people of Qin. How can it be used to invite rewards?

This is not the virtuous mind of a prime minister!

Even if you invite rewards for students, it is not appropriate. After all, the academy was opened in the name of the emperor.

If you delve into something that benefits the country and the people, it should belong to the emperor or the court!

However, the officials knew that Qin Mo's ambition was to open schools all over the Qin Dynasty. This was something he had personally told Ying Zheng in front of the officials.

This time I was asking for a reward for the students, I guess it had a deep meaning, so I reluctantly said: "There are rewards, and each student can be given a third-class reward."

Qin Mo frowned dissatisfied: "You can only give a third-class reward for something that is so beneficial to the country and the people? And it has to be given by you, but by the national treasury, why should you be stingy?"

All the ministers shook their heads and said: "It is precisely because the treasury provides the reward that we must be more cautious and ensure fairness."

"In that case, I'd better go to Hexi to become a vassal." Qin Mo turned around and left.

"Each student will be given a fifth-class knighthood!"

The officials gave in decisively and were rewarded with a second-class knighthood.

Qin Mo turned his anger into a smile, stretched out his hand and said to Old Wang Wan: "Old Prime Minister Wang, where is the Prime Minister's Seal?"

Lao Wangwan took out the gold seal from his sleeve and hurriedly put it into his hand, then looked relieved.

The ministers also breathed a sigh of relief, finally completing the emperor's instructions.

Qin Mo put away his photo seal, greeted the ministers and Fusu who were watching the excitement, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go back to the palace to meet His Majesty."

"Just now, an urgent military situation came from Changsha County in the Chu land. An old minister of the Chu state has returned to the land of Baiyue and has established a Chu king."

"His Majesty was furious and summoned us into the palace to discuss countermeasures!"

This is the real reason why he suddenly changed his mind.

After Zhao Gaolai passed the edict, Ying Zheng asked him to immediately return to his position and lead his ministers into the palace to discuss matters.

It seems that unless South Vietnam is settled, he will not be able to resign as prime minister!

Of course, asking for rewards from students is also the proper intention. He is planning the academy system, and this is just an introduction...

…

Half an hour later, Qin Mo, Fu Su and the ministers galloped to the Qin palace.

In addition to them, there are many ministers who are also entering the palace, and they have obviously received urgent summons.

In the main hall, Ying Zheng was like an angry lion, pacing back and forth on the steps with a sullen face.

Qin Mo led everyone into the palace. Without waiting for a salute, Ying Zheng personally came down the stairs, put a piece of silk with handwriting on it into Qin Mo's hand and said, "My dear, please take a look."

Qin Mo didn't talk nonsense, unfolded the silk and read it carefully.

The content of the silk book is very long. Simply put, it is the hilly land of Guangdong and South Vietnam, where the old ministers of Chu State were indeed restored.

They are the descendants of Chu general Xiang Yan, headed by Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu. They have conquered hundreds of miles of land from various tribes in South Vietnam. There is also Xiong Xin, the son of King Huai of Chu, who has been elected as the new King of Chu Huai!

After Qin Mo finished reading it, he handed the silk book to Fusu.

Fusu recited it directly so that all the ministers who gradually gathered in the palace could hear it.

Ying Zheng waited for him to finish reciting, and immediately said in a cold voice: "How do you think you should deal with it?"

"Send troops to destroy them!"

"Please come out and fight!"

"Give me three hundred thousand soldiers..."

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, the hall suddenly burst into shouts of beating and killing.

Regardless of whether they were civil servants or military generals, the opinions were surprisingly unified, and the civil servants were even more angry than the military commanders.

The civil servants finally hoped for peace in the world, but before they could realize their ambitions, rebellion broke out again. It was hard not to be angry!

Thank you to the emperor who is hurting the city for his 5,000-point reward!

The emperor is grand!
