A few days later, at the court meeting.
Ying Zheng sat high on the dragon throne, tall and majestic, and the black and gold dragon robe made him look majestic, noble and domineering.
The twelve-tasseled crown cast shadows, obscuring the stern face, making his expression difficult to discern. His aura was intimidating without even being angry, and it made people feel awe-inspiring.
He looked down at his ministers and announced in a serious tone that a medical insurance trial would be implemented in Xianyang.
When the emperor's low and steady voice stopped, the hall suddenly exploded with endless discussions.
"Pay ten cents and you can get a free consultation... I'm tempted by that."
"Yes, everyone is born, grows old, gets sick and dies. Just think of it as buying peace of mind."
"Once this news comes out, I'm sure the people will flock to it..."
The officials expressed their opinions, with different expressions on their faces.
But basically everyone agrees.
Especially Lord Zhili Neishiro, his face was flushed and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
As the empire's finance minister, he knew very well that medical insurance was a business that was sure to make a profit.
Although a commoner only paid ten coins, the Qin Dynasty had a population of more than 20 million!
Once implemented nationwide, the national treasury will receive more than 200 million yuan in fiscal revenue each year, and this revenue will grow steadily as the population grows.
With the heated discussion, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more heated.
The officials held tablets in their hands and talked in low voices with their colleagues on either side.
There was only one gentle young man in the crowd who remained silent.
This person was none other than the counselor Xiao He.
He did not speak rashly, but lowered his head slightly, concentrated his mind, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bright and sparkling like stars, shining with wisdom.
Xiao He could not hide the excitement on his face, and he murmured to himself in admiration from the bottom of his heart.
"The Imperial Medical Security System..."
"Excellent, excellent!"
At this moment, he suddenly realized.
In fact, the essence of so-called "medical insurance" is to spread the risks of a small number of people to everyone.
Everyone is like a whole, and no one is stupid enough to break away from it because of short-term gains and losses.
After all, you never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.
Who can guarantee that they are not part of the minority?
In this way, the people will have a reliable guarantee and their sense of belonging to the empire will be greatly enhanced.
All in all, this is a wise move with no drawbacks.
Li Si also had the same idea as Xiao He.
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, a hint of excitement appeared on his stern and serious face, and his tone was even more passionate.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"This move will surely greatly win the hearts of the people and stabilize the country."
The other officials also reacted at this time and shouted "Your Majesty is wise".
Hearing the constant praise, Ying Zheng remained indifferent.
After the hall quieted down, he suddenly began to explain, the pride in his voice undisguised.
"The medical insurance issue was proposed by the Queen."
As soon as the words fell, all the officials were stunned, and then looked at each other.
Your Majesty, are you...showing off?
At this moment, although they could not see His Majesty's expression clearly, they inexplicably felt full of pride.
However, after being stunned for a few moments, the officials immediately complimented the queen.
"The Empress is kind and generous, a model for the nation, and truly worthy of being the Mother of the Great Qin."
"Your Majesty cares deeply about the world and loves the people like your own children. You are truly a blessing to our Great Qin!"
“…”
A string of nice words came out of his mouth, and it was obvious that he was used to it.
Because this is not the first time that His Majesty has praised the Queen in this way, both openly and covertly.
For a while, the hall was filled with endless words of praise.
Ying Zheng was in a good mood, and his previous coldness changed, with a slight smile of joy on the corner of his lips.
This made all the officials secretly complain.
Your Majesty, I didn’t see you so happy when I praised you just now?
In this way, the originally solemn court meeting ended in a joyful atmosphere.
Chu Yuening in Qinian Palace did not know that although she seldom attended court, her legend was circulating in the court.
This is also thanks to a certain "wife-showing maniac".
In the golden autumn season, the blue sky is clear and the gentle breeze brings the rich fragrance of osmanthus.
A stunning beauty with fair skin and beautiful face stood by the window, the warm sun shining around her, creating a hazy golden halo, and even every strand of her hair reflected tiny golden rays.
The picture is beautiful and moving, like a poem or a painting.
The beauty has a cold and elegant face, and her eyes are as clear as spring water, without any trace of worldly dust.
At this time, a breeze blew, and the white clothes danced gracefully in the wind, as if the fairy who had come down to earth wanted to ride the wind back home.
Ying Zheng saw this scene as soon as he returned from court.
His heart skipped a beat and a rare flash of panic appeared in his eyes.
Without caring about his imperial demeanor, he subconsciously quickened his pace, walked to the window, and pulled the woman into his arms, holding her tightly.
"ah!"
Caught off guard, Chu Yuening suddenly woke up from her thoughts.
Fortunately, the broad chest behind her was so familiar that it helped her relax her tense nerves.
She turned to look at the man, staring at his angular jawline, and said something coquettishly.
"A Zheng, it's you. You scared me."
Ying Zheng felt the genuine warmth in his arms, and his heart relaxed, but the darkness in his phoenix eyes had not yet dissipated.
He put his arms around the woman's waist and turned her around, holding her hips with his big hands so that they were face to face, and his thin lips rubbed and kissed her ears.
"What was Yue Ning thinking about just now?"
