I don't know if Ying Wushuang, who just walked out from behind, felt the collision just now, but her expression was very calm.

With a wave of his sleeves, he signaled the civil and military officials who stood up to greet him to sit down, and faintly uttered one word: "Xuan."

Zhao Gao immediately said loudly: "The dragons are soaring around the fields, the tigers are roaring in all directions, King Xiaoyao is traveling north alone, his hard work is great, your majesty holds a banquet to celebrate his achievements, and all the officials congratulate him - the great Qin Dynasty is victorious -"

"Great Qin is victorious——

Congratulations to King Xiaoyao——"

After all the officials responded in unison, the banquet officially began.

This kind of formal banquet requires a lot of etiquette. Naturally, this is why Mr. Jiang doesn't like to participate.

Fortunately, this is still in the Qin Dynasty. If it were in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it would be so complicated, haha...

After finally finishing the prelude, Jiang Fan just breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat meat and drink from a big bowl.

Suddenly I heard Zhao Gao raise his voice: "Your Majesty has a decree to award a reward——"

What else? But a reward is still okay. Mr. Jiang put down his chopsticks enthusiastically, ready to hear how much money his wife would give her.

"One word, King Jiangfan, went to the northern Xinjiang alone and lived in Jingbian for three years. He captured the eldest prince Zuoxian Wang and wiped out thirteen tribes. His contribution was attributed to Sheji. He was specifically allowed to expand the territory of Lishan County by hundreds of miles. He did not follow the laws of the Qin Dynasty and became independent.

To govern, laws and rituals stand on their own—"

Good guy! All the civil and military officials were shocked.

What is this? This is a territory sealed off from other countries, but it is also independent and self-governing, as if it has become the country of China.

This matter is definitely the first of its kind!

Although expanding the territory to a hundred miles is not a big deal, the meaning is completely different. In ancient times, there were people who had territorial borders, but they were still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and had to abide by the imperial court's laws and etiquette.

According to the content of the imperial edict, Lishan County became a completely independent state within a state. This was the first time in recorded history that the country had existed.

It was shocking, but surprisingly no one objected.

Because this thing seems incomprehensible, but it is very understandable.

It is very simple to cut through the appearance. In the opinion of many people, this was a gift given to Jiang Fan intentionally by the empress. It has only one purpose: to enhance his status and facilitate future marriage.

For a king of an independent land, marrying into his wife is considered a thing of the past.

You know, King Xiaoyao stayed at Qifengtai, and the empress also stayed at a mortal residence, so the relationship is clear.

Therefore, it seems that the land has been sealed off, but it has just returned to the hands in a roundabout way. It is still one's own thing. At most, it is just a roundabout way to give that person a famous name.

What's more, Lishan is located in the hinterland of Daqin, near Yangdu, and is surrounded by large armies. Even if you really want to, it's impossible to do it.

But Jiang Fan didn't think about what the courtiers were thinking at all. In his opinion, the empress' move had profound meaning.

I realized two things right away. First, independence and autonomy give me the greatest degree of autonomy. I can make Lishan what I really want, and it will truly become a model for the future. Second, Xiaocui

This is to design yourself as an independent line and provide it with private support.

But no matter what, Jiang Fan liked this method very much. After all, the laws and etiquette of the Qin Dynasty still restricted the development of Lishan County.

Now, fortunately, this is a hundred times better than the special zone.

At the moment, regardless of whether others objected or not, he stood up and handed over his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Okay, this is done for real. The ministers all rolled their eyes and couldn't even be polite. They looked too ugly.

Are you polite? Haha, Mr. Jiang doesn't care about that. You are so polite for such a good thing.

However, Jiang Fan, who did not understand the thoughts of the ministers, was also surprised. No one objected to this strange thing that was the first of its kind to disrupt the state system. Did you discuss it in advance?

Seeing that the matter was settled, Jiang Fan felt very happy and reached out to pick up the chopsticks again. The Dongpo meat would be cold.

But then I heard Zhao Qingqing clear his throat: "Your Majesty has a decree to establish a Ministry of Industry to oversee the power of industry and commerce in the world. He has named Wang Jiangfan as the Governor of the Ministry of Industry, which is the same as the Third Duke."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall was shocked.

This is different from what happened just now. This is real court authority.

So, not surprisingly, some people immediately stood up to oppose it.

The first one was not Li Xiu, but Gao Rong.

"Your Majesty, King Xiaoyao has been granted the title of King Side by Side. He still has an independent fiefdom. His status makes it inconvenient for him to serve as an official in the court. Please think again."

Haha, it's you after all. Jiang Fan couldn't help but grin, Gao Rong should be right or wrong, he didn't care at all.

However, this time he was quite grateful to Gao Rong. After all, he really didn't want to become an official in the court. I don't know what Xiaocui was thinking. She should know what he was thinking.

Li Xiu also stood up at this time: "I second my opinion, the title of the prince conflicts with the official status, and is inconsistent with etiquette and system. Please take back the order."

However, Zhao Gao said: "Your Majesty has decreed that the Qin treasury is in short supply, and foreign enemies are eyeing it. Your Majesty, who has the talent of Tao Zhu, should work for the benefit of the country."

Li Xiu frowned and said slowly: "Since ancient times, strengthening the country and enriching the people have been based on farming. Your Majesty's business affairs seem to be putting the cart before the horse..."

Zhao Gao glanced at him and sneered in his heart. This matter would be of no harm to him, so he naturally regarded Li Xiu as a roadblock.

"Your Majesty said: The three-year war between the Qin Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty depleted the national treasury. Now that the four kingdoms are fighting, Qin will be involved sooner or later. Since this is the autumn of life and death, it must quickly enrich the country and strengthen the people. This is the principle of survival. All ministers should take the national plan into account.

.”

This was true, and Li Xiu couldn't refute it for a while.

This is the current situation of Qin State. In the past two years, it has been repairing the wounds of three years of war, but it still has not recovered its strength. Moreover, the chaos of the four kingdoms suddenly started again. If a solution is not found as soon as possible, Qin will be in great embarrassment once it is forced to participate in the war.

Jiang Fan originally planned to be the first to jump out and object, but when he saw the situation, he stopped moving. This Zhao Laoer had obviously been given advice by the empress and was talking in one way or another. It would be better to watch the excitement first before talking.

There was a lot of discussion in the hall for a while, and soon someone stood up to express opposition: "The three princes and nine ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty each perform their own duties. If the Ministry of Industry is suddenly established, it is inevitable that the powers will be overlapping and chaos will arise..."

Zhao Gao said flatly: "Your Majesty's decree is that the duties and powers of the three ministers and the nine ministers will remain unchanged, and the governor of the Ministry of Industry will report to your Majesty separately what he does. If there is any overlap in powers, it will be adjudicated by your Majesty."

The man was speechless. The Empress of Qin is an absolute dictator. She has said so. Do you still dare to object?

But then one objection after another was put on the table.

However, Zhao Gao seemed to have received the authorization from the empress a long time ago, and he refuted it point by point. In the end, all the ministers were defeated, and even though they were unwilling to do so, there was nothing they could do.

From the beginning to the end, the empress remained silent and the eunuchs spoke for everything, which obviously showed that the empress had a firm attitude and had already made up her mind. The officials felt powerless to refute.

Zhao Gao was secretly happy when he saw this, and was about to raise his voice to make the final decision.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Jiang Fan finally sighed secretly and stood up suddenly, "Stop! Wait! This can't be done!"

Zhao Gao was stunned. What the hell, I finally convinced the ministers to confirm this matter. Why did you jump out?

But he didn't dare to make any mistakes against Jiang Fan. Hearing this, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what are you doing..."

Jiang Fan shook his head like a rattle: "Your Majesty, we agreed at the beginning that we would not join the court, not be an official, and not ask about politics. The three no's principles. I have lived a good life in my little life. You can't just change it at your request.
