Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 263 The ministers were shocked! Your Majesty overturned the previous imperial edict because of the advice of an expert!

When Ying Zheng heard what this official said, he shook his head slightly with a smile on his face:
"To build the Great Wall, I think some adjustments need to be made."

"To build the Great Wall as soon as possible requires a lot of human and financial resources."

"This will waste people and money, and few people think it is appropriate to do this."

The minister who had just reported the situation on the Great Wall was stunned when he heard the First Emperor's words.

The other ministers were also stunned. His Majesty had previously decreed that all efforts should be made to build the Great Wall.

Even if this consumes a lot of manpower and financial resources, we must continue.

As a result, His Majesty told these people that this approach was inappropriate.

This time, His Majesty overturned his previous decree, and the ministers had a look of confusion on their faces.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the confused ministers below and said with a smile on his face:

"I wanted to build the Great Wall as soon as possible. I also hoped to use the Great Wall to block enemies outside the country."

"The Huns have been defeated miserably in two battles on the border and are temporarily unable to attack the cities on the border."

"In this case, the speed of building the Great Wall can also be slowed down."

The ministers were suddenly enlightened when they heard the First Emperor's words, and the First Emperor's words reminded them.

In the border battle, the Huns were temporarily unable to attack, and there was no need to speed up the construction of the Great Wall.

"Your Majesty, how will we build the Great Wall next?"

The minister who had spoken just now bowed his hands in front of the First Emperor.

"I have slowed down the construction of the Great Wall. Except for the Xiongnu, I am unable to attack the Qin border."

"Another reason is also to reduce human and financial resources, so I decided to reduce human and financial resources."

"Reduce the number of young people needed to build the Great Wall, so these young people can return home and work in the fields."

"As for the young people who built the Great Wall, I decided that each of them can receive the food and salary of two people."

"This will not treat these young people badly. These young people will be more dedicated in building the Great Wall."

"There are also officials responsible for building the Great Wall. The young people who built the Great Wall must have enough rest time and have enough food to eat."

"If someone dares to violate the law, I will never forgive him lightly."

Ying Zheng looked at the official and expressed his thoughts.

Many ministers in the Qilin Palace looked surprised when they heard what the First Emperor said.

Before, they thought that building the Great Wall was a chore, but now His Majesty has issued a new decree.

Young people who build the Great Wall will not only get two wages, but it will also become easier for them to build the Great Wall.

Some ministers who had previously opposed the First Emperor's construction of the Great Wall now mentally agreed with His Majesty's new will.

His Majesty's new decree will not only not waste people and money, but will also make the people very happy.

If you can work easily and receive food and wages for two people, many young people will compete for it.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

The ministers of Qilin Palace bowed their hands in front of the First Emperor.

Ying Zheng had a smile on his face when he heard what the ministers said, "I also mentioned this matter to an expert."

"After listening to the words of the master, I realized how much the previous decree was a waste of people and money."

"The construction of the Great Wall must be done slowly and gradually. Don't do it too hastily. Once it is done too hastily, it will put Daqin in crisis."

Everyone in Qilin Hall was very shocked when they heard Ying Zheng mentioning the master.

This is the first time they have heard the word "master" from His Majesty's mouth after serving as officials for many years.

What worries them even more is that His Majesty changed his intention to build the Great Wall this time because of this expert.

What ability does this person have that can make His Majesty change his decree?
Many ministers were curious and even wanted to see this master.

There are also some ministers who have a hint of jealousy in their hearts. After many years of serving as officials, His Majesty has rarely praised them.

Today, His Majesty actually mentioned talking to the master in front of them, because the master's words changed his will.

Such treatment made them very jealous.

Hu Hai had a strange look on his face. Who was the master his father mentioned?

To be able to say the word "master" from the father's mouth, this person must be very powerful.

If he had this expert to help him, he would not fail repeatedly when facing Fusu.

After Hu Hai decided to retire from the court, he discussed the matter with his teacher. The teacher is deeply trusted by his father. The teacher should know who the master mentioned by his father is.

Once he knew about this expert, Hu Hai would ask this person for help at any cost.

There was a smile on Fusu's face. He knew very well that the master his father mentioned was his teacher Lin Xuan.

Father's will today also has a lot to do with the conversation with the teacher.

As Lin Xuan's student, Fusu was happy for his teacher.

Zhao Gao, who was standing next to the First Emperor, saw a smile on Fusu's face.

He had been observing Fusu just now, when His Majesty mentioned the master.

He clearly saw the corner of Fusu's mouth rising with a smile on his face, and Zhao Gao thought that there was an expert helping Fusu behind him.

Could the expert your Majesty mentioned just now be the expert behind Fusu? Zhao Gao quickly rejected his idea.

No matter how powerful the person behind Fusu is, he is secretly helping Fusu. How could your Majesty meet this person?

Not to mention that His Majesty changed his will because of this person's words.

Zhao Gao thought that His Majesty must have met an expert he didn't know about, and he wanted to find a way to find this expert.

If this person helps Hu Hai, he will not be at a disadvantage when facing Fusu.

The ministers were also curious about the master mentioned by His Majesty, but no one dared to stand up and ask who this master was.

This is His Majesty's private matter. No matter how bold they are, they would not dare to ask about His Majesty's private matter.

Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers in the hall. Ying Zheng knew very well that these ministers were guessing about the master he mentioned.

He mentioned what he said just now on purpose, and by doing so he also told other ministers that his change of will was indeed because of this expert.

Another reason is also to pave the way for Lin Xuan to appear in the Qilin Palace in the future. Lin Xuan's ability is very recognized by Ying Zheng.

Lin Xuan's background does not need to be investigated, and he has helped him and Fusu several times.

Lin Xuan can be said to be a nobleman of the Qin Dynasty. It is really unfair for such a capable person to help him secretly.

Ying Zheng still believed that Lin Xuan should stand in the Qilin Hall to let other ministers know how powerful he was.

"Dear sirs, what else can I say to you?"

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers in the hall.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up to speak out.

Ying Zheng saw that no ministers were standing up and glanced at Zhao Gao beside him.

"Retreat!"

Zhao Gao took a step forward and looked at the ministers shouting loudly.

Ying Zheng stood up and walked out of Qilin Hall with a smile on his face.

Other ministers left the Qilin Hall one after another. Zhao Gao glanced at Hu Hai before leaving.

Hu Hai saw Zhao Gao's eyes and nodded slightly. He knew that the teacher was telling him that he would go to his mansion to meet him.

Hu Hai's mansion in Xianyang City!
Hu Hai got off the carriage and entered the mansion, and went directly to his study.

"You guys go down first!"

"Resign, villain!"

Several servants in the study heard Hu Hai's words and hurriedly turned around and left.

Hu Hai sat down and looked at the military book in his hand.

After a while, he put down the book of war and poured himself a glass of wine.

When he was leaving the court, the teacher's eyes told him that he was coming to see him. Hu Hai was very curious on the way back from the palace to his residence.

What the teacher was going to say to him made Hu Hai not even in the mood to read the military book.

"Tap Tap!"

After an hour, Hu Hai heard the sound of footsteps in his ears, and looked up with a smile on his face.

His teacher Zhao Gao walked into the study at this time.

"Teacher, you are finally here"

Hu Hai looked at Zhao Gao who walked in, with a smile on his face.
