When the First Emperor heard Li Lin's thoughts, he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself: Damn it, this arrogant brat, who told you to be the God of Wealth? No matter how angry I am with you, I won't let the God of Wealth get away with this when the national treasury is empty!
"Your Majesty is too kind. Upon returning to my residence, I will first deposit one million strings of cash into the national treasury to ensure its smooth operation. By the way, Your Majesty, if you wish for me to quickly reverse the deficit, you must grant me two special privileges!"
"What privileges? I'll give you everything!"
"Very well, Your Majesty, I desire the power to act first and report later, and the power to apply draft laws and regulations in advance!"
"Hahaha, isn't this your basic power as prime minister? Why ask me for it?"
"Your Majesty, I require more authority."
"Alright, I'll give you the whole thing!"
The First Emperor was not a hesitant person. Since this rascal had a way and needed some power to operate, he would just give it to him.
As long as it doesn't involve military power.
He trusted Li Lin completely.
Military power is the bond that holds imperial power together. It doesn't matter if other powers are absent, but if an emperor lacks military power, he is undoubtedly just a puppet.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"

"Alas, my son, your uncle is also nervous, afraid that you've been bribed by him. But then again, that dog emperor is quite a good ruler.

If the last few kings of Chu had even half the demeanor of that dog emperor, our Great Chu wouldn't have been so badly mocked by Zhang Yi and his ilk!"
Xiang Liang was somewhat saddened.
He didn't feel anything else during the morning court session; instead, he felt only bitterness.
The harmonious scene between the Qin emperor and his ministers filled him with emotion.
“Uncle, this dog emperor is quite cunning. Although I was very resentful of him before, now that I have seen how magnanimous he is, I can’t hate him anymore. Perhaps only a person like him can unify the six kingdoms?”
Xiang Yu was somewhat frustrated; he now felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.
The Qin Dynasty is very difficult to destroy.
With an emperor as charismatic as His Majesty, he really didn't have much confidence in being able to stir up any changes in the political landscape.
“Jie’er, don’t rush. Let’s observe and see how Prime Minister Li manages to turn the Qin treasury from deficit to surplus. If they can really do what they said in court, then it means that Qin should not perish and that the nation’s destiny is still intact. Let’s leave Xianyang City first.”
