Chapter 174 The imperial edict was posted at the palace gate.
Ok?
disagree?
Ying Zheng looked at Feng Quji: "Why?"
Feng Quji: "Your Majesty, sir, please provide the recipe for making saddles, stirrups and horseshoes for my Qin warhorses."
"Provide the smelting methods for making better weapons and armor for our Great Qin soldiers and generals."
"Now, you have provided the recipe for refining fine salt for our Qin army and people."
"It has greatly increased the military strength and combat effectiveness of my Great Qin."
"It gives the people a little more hope of survival."
"How can you just give a gentleman a position as a national teacher, a sinecure with only a title, and send him away?"
"I disagree! This position is too light!"
Wang Jian also said loudly, "You have to give me something practical!"
Don't just give him an official position, also reward him with some gold, silver, jewelry, house deeds, etc.
With Feng Quji and Wang Jian taking the lead, other ministers also spoke up.
The hall suddenly became as noisy as a vegetable market.
Ying Zheng raised one hand and pressed it down.
All the ministers shut up instantly.
It got quiet.
Ying Zheng said, "I know what you said."
"I have made up my mind on this matter, and you don't need to say anything more."
"Sir, your heart is with our Great Qin. I will not treat you unfairly."
"Okay, let's disperse."
After saying this, Ying Zheng stood up and left.
The ministers looked at each other and respectfully left the hall.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Feng Quji approached Wang Jian and asked in a low voice.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Wang Jian glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty must have his reasons for doing things."
"We just do as we are told."
"Don't you know who our Majesty is?"
"I said I would not treat you unfairly, so I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"And the position of Imperial Master may not be a bad thing for you, sir."
After hearing this, Feng Quji seemed to be thinking about something.
"You're right, I was overthinking it."
Li Si, who was following behind the two men, seemed to understand something after hearing this.
He lowered his head and quickly walked out of the palace.
His corn has recently flowered and is growing exceptionally well.
He had to go back quickly and keep an eye on it, as his life depended on this batch of corn.
Ying Zheng drafted an edict and gave it to Xia Lin.
"Go, post this edict on the notice board at the palace gate."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xia Lin took the imperial edict respectfully and walked out quickly.
Palace entrance.
Xia Lin handed the imperial edict in his hand to the palace maid in charge of the notice office.
I watched him closely and saw with my own eyes that he posted the edict on the notice board.
Then he turned around and went back to report to Ying Zheng.
When the people at the palace gate saw the new notice posted, they immediately swarmed over.
"What's going on? What good news is this?"
"What does it say?"
"Hush! Stop making noise! Just listen to what the official says!"
The people stared at the palace servant standing next to the notice with curiosity.
The palace attendant in charge said: "Everyone knows that the fine salt that was distributed to you some time ago was developed by His Majesty and Sir, right?"
"The gentleman who gave His Majesty the medicine will be the imperial teacher of our Great Qin in the future."
People: “Huh?!”
"The gentleman who makes fine salt? She came to Xianyang?"
"And he became the imperial teacher of my Great Qin?"
"Okay, this is good."
"Sir, you are good to us common people. We have no objection to you being the national teacher."
"I wonder if the master has any other recipes in the future? It would be great if they can fill our stomachs."
"Eat a full meal? Isn't your idea too naive?"
"Let's not talk about our Qin State, let's talk about the other six states. Is there anyone who can feed their people?"
"Why are you putting all the pressure on our master when even the monarch of a country can't do it?"
"I've got free fine salt for you to eat, and you're still not satisfied?"
"Yeah, I was greedy."
"Think about other countries that don't even have fine salt and are still eating coarse salt. I should be content."
"Yes, you don't know, but my next-door neighbor's eldest son works in a caravan."
"I heard from him that the people in Chu couldn't even afford coarse salt."
"The salt that the King of Chu eats is better than the coarse salt we used to eat."
"They have never seen the fine salt we eat."
"Ah? Isn't this too tragic?"
"You haven't even seen fine salt? Is the King of Chu such a failure?"
"Fortunately, we are not citizens of his Chu State, otherwise it would be too tragic."
"So, as long as you have some fine salt to eat, be content."
"People in other countries, I don't know how much they envy us."
As soon as Zhang Tailu returned home, he started yelling at the top of his voice.
"Dad! Dad! Come here quickly!!"
An old man came around the corner with a broom in his hand. "What are you doing?"
"What are you yelling about this time?"
Zhang Tailu walked quickly to the old man and said, "Dad, the master is in Xianyang!"
what?
Sir, are you in Xianyang?
The old man threw the broom away. "Really? Where?!"
Zhang Tailu: "In the palace."
What?
In the palace?
The old man asked: "Sir, why did you go to the palace? Didn't you go to Xianyang for a stroll?"
Zhang Tailu said, "I don't know that either. His Majesty told me about it when he went to court this morning."
"From today on, you are the Imperial Master of our Great Qin."
what?
National Division?
The old man said: "Sir, are you the national teacher of my Great Qin?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Tailu nodded and said, "His Majesty just conferred it this morning."
"The imperial edict has been posted at the palace gate."
Old man: "Oh! That's great!"
"It's good that you are willing to come to Xianyang, sir. Hello, Imperial Master. Hello, Imperial Master."
"Will you live in Xianyang permanently from now on, sir?"
Zhang Tailu: "Yes, but...sir should live in the palace."
“It will probably be hard for us to see it.”
The old man said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter whether you live in the palace or somewhere else."
"As long as we live in Xianyang, we will definitely have the opportunity to meet you, sir."
"If I could meet you, sir, I would definitely thank you very much."
"If it weren't for her, where would we get the fine salt to eat?"
Xianyang Palace.
As soon as Xia Lin finished reporting the imperial edict, Ying Zheng gave instructions.
"Go to the weaving department and take them to the master."
"Take the measurements for the gentleman and make the official uniform."
Xia Lin: “Yes.”
After leaving the hall, he walked quickly towards the Weaving Department.
Weaving Department.
As soon as the palace maid saw Xia Lin coming, she immediately ran to report to the female official Yi Qingqiu.
"Sir, Eunuch Xia is here."
what?
Xia Lin is here?
Yi Qingqiu immediately put down the clothes in his hand and gave instructions to the palace servant beside him.
“You guys keep making it.”
Palace servants: "Yes, sir."
When he came out and took a look, Yi Qingqiu walked quickly to Xia Lin.
"Eunuch Xia, does His Majesty have any instructions?"
Xia Lin: "His Majesty has ordered your textile department to go over there and take measurements of the gentleman and make him an official uniform."
"Master Yi, take a few people with you and follow us. We will lead the way for you."
