Eternal traitor

Chapter 383

The empty palace was not at all cool. More than a dozen pots of firewood were burning inside, and the firewood that kept making "bang bang" drove away the cold air in the hall with strong flames. Ying Zheng, who was a hundred steps away, was lazily Sitting on his throne, under the light of the fire, there was no expression on this young face, and a pair of eyes squinted at the person who came.

Walking steadily under Yingzheng's throne, Li Hua knelt down and bowed slowly to Yingzheng, "Crassman Li Hua pays homage to the king."

"············"

Ying Zheng didn't speak, just looked at this side, not knowing what else to think.

"My lord...are you asleep??"

Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't speak, Li Hua tilted his head to look at Ying Zheng who was on the throne and asked cautiously. At this time, Ying Zheng squinted his eyes as if he was asleep.

"How can you sleep alone if you don't come??"

Ying Zheng sneered, sat up slowly, and looked at Li Hua in front of him calmly.

"Your Majesty is angry with the grassroots??"

Li Hua cautiously asked Ying Zheng a tentative question, his kneeling legs moved a little bit, and his buttocks sat back on his legs, looking very comfortable.

"What are your plans??"

Ying Zheng didn't answer Li Hua, but asked a simple question.At that time, when Lu Buwei and the courtiers forced him to remove Li Hua's official position, he originally disagreed, but Li Hua gave him a wink and asked him to comply with the request.Although he already had many thoughts in his mind, he still wanted to know what Li Hua's plan was.

"Cao Min doesn't play tricks with the king, I want to cut off Xiang Lu's roots."

"Root source? Are you referring to... the trade route??"

Ying Zheng immediately thought of this advantage of Lu Buwei. Today, the Lu family in the Qin State almost controls most of the commercial routes that enter the capital. The Lu family's influence in the Qin State spreads all over the country.It is well known that the Lu family is in business. No one knows how much money he has, but Ying Zheng knows that if he copied the Lu family, he would not even need to collect taxes for several years.

"City farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the lowest existence. However, if hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of merchants gather together, the power cannot be underestimated. Have you ever thought about it, once the Lu family stops controlling the capital?" trade routes, and even instigated merchants not to come to the capital, so what will happen??”

"Tell me."

Ying Zheng was obviously aroused by Li Hua's remarks. If Li Hua hadn't mentioned this matter, he would have never thought about it.

"The king of Qin will run out of food in less than a month, and panic will be caused in less than ten days. The people are in constant panic. People who are used to buying fresh vegetables from outside every day, which family will hoard food for several months?? Civil chaos... ...the country will be in chaos."

Man is a herd animal. Once there is no food, they will turn into beasts again, robbing, killing, and making troubles... All of these may happen. It will be dangerous for those who rebel.

"So, you deliberately gave up your official position to start a business?"

After hearing Li Hua's words, Ying Zheng's mood obviously improved a lot. It was indeed like what Li Hua said, that a businessman who is usually inconspicuous can have such great power, and this power has to be guarded against.

"Your Majesty is wise, Prime Minister Lu has been staring at me. How easy is it to do something under his nose?? If you don't follow the plan, give him the excuse to kick me out of the court before you can act quietly."

Lu Buwei knew that he was affectionate, so he naturally set his sights on Bao'er to find an opportunity. Although he gave money to Anyang Jun in a hidden way, he definitely couldn't escape Lu Buwei's eyes.Then Lu Buwei will definitely not let go of this opportunity to move to him, so it will happen that he voluntarily let go of Bao'er.

"Really?? According to this, you are not only innocent, but also meritorious?"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Hua with a smile on his face, put one hand on the short case in front of him and asked with a smile.

"Grassmen dare not."

Li Hua replied humbly, he didn't dare to claim credit, he just asked Ying Zheng not to beat him to death.

"You know what's going on in your mind. What you say about withdrawing from the court and cutting off its roots is in the end just because you want to save Bao'er. Did Gu ever say something wrong?"

Ying Zheng slapped the short case in front of him vigorously, and a loud "pop" sounded instantly, which startled Li Hua, and even Qin Guangyao outside shivered.

"Your Majesty is wise, the grassroots dare not deny it."

Li Hua's heart skipped a beat, he knelt down again and straightened his kneeling posture, and kept shouting in his heart, "This little fart... the king is too smart, right?"

"Gu Ke ever reminded you??"

Ying Zheng growled in a low voice angrily, Bao'er must die. He had already reminded Li Hua, and now he is still being let go. Such behavior is simply... damn it.If it were Qin Guangyao, Ying Zheng would have killed him, but Li Hua couldn't kill him, and Lu Buwei needed people to check and balance, even if Li Hua didn't have an official position, he could check and balance Lu Buwei to a certain extent.

And what Li Hua said is right, the trade routes really need people to manage them.

This guy can get things done, is talented, and is absolutely true to himself.But, but... can't you not do stupid things? ?

For Li Hua, Ying Zheng loves and hates him at the same time. As for how to punish Li Hua, he hasn't figured it out yet.

"My Majesty, please forgive me this time. The Caomin will definitely go through fire and water for the King. In two years, the Caomin will definitely complete the business route. And in these two years, the King's talent will definitely be recognized by the people of the world."

While speaking, Li Hua took out a bamboo book full of handwriting from his bosom, holding the bamboo book in his hand but did not move a step.

"Take it up and have a look."

Ying Zheng wasn't worried about Li Hua's assassination of him. If he didn't believe the man in front of him, he would probably go crazy.

"Yes."

Li Hua came to Ying Zheng with the bamboo book in his hands and put it down, then turned around and walked down, kneeling on the ground again.

Opening the bamboo book, a series of incomprehensible fonts appeared in front of Ying Zheng. Words like tadpoles were densely packed all over the bamboo book, but I really couldn't understand what it was.

"My lord, this is a treasure that a villain accidentally obtained. The font on it has not yet been named. Each character represents a word, and each word can perform the four arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The learning method is extremely simple, and it only takes one month. With time, you can master the skill of calculation that is more proficient than that of the shopkeeper in decades. Even a five-year-old child can easily calculate the tax revenue of Daqin's treasury. The grassroots think that this is the land of Daqin, and the king is the master of Daqin. So this thing is naturally the king's thing. Please give it a name, the grassroots can open a school for it and pass on what the king taught..."
