Chapter 43: The Effect of the King, Commoners



Because, if they lost the help of Zhao Kuangyin and Dong Zhuo, they would even have to risk becoming enemies with them. In this way, the failure rate would be too high and the loss would easily outweigh the gain.

It is better to continue to choose to endure and wait for the opportunity.

Moreover, only the two of them chose to purge the emperor's court, or to hold the emperor hostage...

It is definitely not justified. At that time, if the people are not united, how can we talk about conquering the world?

Ying Yuan still hasn't realized that because of his act of being crowned king, the Qin Dynasty has quietly overcome a difficult situation.

now.

The former governor of Xiliang, now the King of Xiliang, Dong Zhuo; the former Jiedushi of Henan, now the King of Song, Zhao Kuangyin; the King of Yan, Zhu Di; the King of Nanzhao, Wu Sangui; and the King of Chang'an, Ying Chengjiao, have all been preparing soldiers, food, and wages and are marching towards Xianyang.

at the same time.

Ministry of Works.

The left and right prime ministers, the six ministers and the imperial teacher Zhang Jue were all here.

They were discussing the construction of the Star-Picking Tower.

After all, according to Ying Yuan's description, once the construction of Zhaixing Tower begins, it will definitely require a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

At that time, all departments of the court must provide full assistance to complete the project in the shortest possible time.

It can be said that the construction of Zhaixing Tower is closely related to every official in the court.

"You all understand what the Imperial Master said, right? Your Majesty wants to build the Zhaixing Tower to rival the Wangxing Tower of Chu.

If the Imperial Master could truly develop a completely new calendar in this building, the impact on our Great Qin would be extremely far-reaching.

To be frank, this is something that could affect the fate of the nation."

Cai Jing spoke slowly.

From any perspective, he could not refuse Ying Yuan's decision to build the Zhaixing Tower.

Because this is indeed something that is beneficial to the country.

This also reflects from the side that Your Majesty has great ambitions.

Ambitious, capable, and resourceful.

Your Majesty today has all three qualities combined in one, and already possesses the aura of an emperor unrivalled throughout history.

"It's not impossible to build it, but where will the money come from? The five hundred thousand taels of silver in Your Majesty's treasury alone is far from enough."

Sima Yi looked embarrassed.

At this point, Heshen stood up and stated firmly, "For the sake of the Qin Empire, everyone, please do not hesitate. Let's all work together to help your majesty build the Zhaixing Tower as quickly as possible. Those who have money can contribute money, and those who have strength can contribute manpower."

Supervisory Censor Guo Kai curled his lips, rolled his eyes, and subconsciously said, "I thought that as the Minister of Revenue, you would be fully responsible for the financial matters."

He Shen shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "This national war has really drained our family's wealth."

Qin Hui stroked his beard and said, "The money issue is easy to resolve...but where will these laborers come from?

The North is in trouble. It has been caught in war for so long, and the people in the North need to be given a break.

As for the South...how many are willing to come? If we force them to come, I'm afraid there will be chaos."

Hear the sound.

Everyone fell into silence.

yes.

Silver is indeed an easy problem to solve.

If it really doesn't work, just blackmail those aristocratic families.

But this civilian...

It’s really hard to collect.

If we are not careful, public resentment will boil over, which will be bad.

After a pause, Zhang Jue suddenly spoke up, "As for the laborers, I can certainly take care of that. I wonder how many laborers are needed to build the Star-Picking Tower, based on your preliminary estimate?"

He founded the Taiping Dao and enjoyed great prestige among the people.

With his ability, he can even form an army in a short period of time.

However, he did not choose to do so, but chose to assist Ying Yuan and be a loyal minister.
