The more people appear at the CoM small dynasty meeting, the more important the resolution to be handled on that day. The court officials who often appear at the small dynasty meeting are mostly important positions of the three dukes and nine ministers or major officials involved in a certain decision. Of course, sometimes there will be relatively unfamiliar faces appearing at the small dynasty meeting. Needless to say, this person must be a new nobleman in the court, a new celebrity in front of the emperor or a long-standing general in the frontier, and a high-ranking official who returned from a distance.

Today, there are familiar faces, three dukes and nine ministers each took their own positions, and a total of more than ten people appeared in front of the emperor.

After some etiquette, the emperor cleared his throat and said casually: "My dear friends, what resolutions did you have on the issue of Fengshan Mountain on Mount Tai the day before yesterday? What are the reports today?"

As soon as the words were finished, no one answered. The emperor frowned. Regarding the matter of Fengshan Mountain in Tai, after the six kingdoms were unified and he appointed himself as emperor, he proposed to his ministers. However, the world was initially decided, national policies had not been formulated, and the six kingdoms were not stable yet, so it was not appropriate to travel far. After being advised by the ministers, the emperor gave up.

But as the empire was on track, the emperor, who was very fond of merit, could not hold back and proposed it again a month ago. Among the ministers, there were those who agreed and opposed it. Both sides held their own opinions and refused to give in, so they still had no decision.

Those who agree with it naturally want to cater to the emperor's preferences. They believe that the emperor's achievements are greater than the Three Emperors and Wu Emperors. In the past, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors had only a thousand miles of territory, and they were even more feudal. Now the emperor swept the six kingdoms and unified the world. He should follow the heaven and the people, perform this Fengshan ceremony and pay homage to the heaven and earth.

Most opponents believe that the country is initially determined, the north is not determined, the south is not settled, the remnants of the six countries are ready to move, and the national treasury is empty, so it is not advisable to waste extravagance and waste national strength at this time.

Most of the people who support the former are Confucian scholars and doctors recruited by the emperor and the likes of alchemists. The representatives in the court were Prime Minister Wang Wan, who had just been re-activated by the emperor. Wang Wan was a great scholar in the ages and had always taken the promotion of the kingly way of rule in the world as his mission. Fengshan was the ancient wise king. He naturally hoped that the First Emperor could follow the example of the wise king and promote the kingly way of politics, and he supported the emperor's move very much. The right prime minister Wei Lin has always been obedient to Wang Wan and horse, so naturally there is no reason to object.

Most of the opponents were military generals. They were not interested in the false reputation of red tape, but only knew that the military expenditures in the north and south were extremely large. The emperor would have to spend a lot of money on Fengshan. The embezzlement of military expenditures or the surge in civil taxes could cause great trauma to the empire, so they strongly opposed this matter. For this reason, the emperor made a series of rebuttals. For more than a month, the emperor was tired of hearing the words of both sides. At the small court meeting a few days ago, he ordered both sides to discuss a safe way.

Seeing that both sides had nothing to say, the emperor's face was gloomy. It was not advisable to go to the Fengshan incident. Although this move was a bit eager for quick success and was very suspicious of being happy with success. But the emperor also knew that the six countries in Shandong had not yet returned to their hearts. He had to find a reason to patrol and show the power and style of the emperor of the new dynasty to the residents of the six countries in Shandong, so that the world could return to its heart, shock the little ones, and allow the imperial army to completely free up their hands and feet to deal with the wars from both north and south.

"I have a memorial." Seeing that the emperor's face was so gloomy that water dripped out, the right prime minister Wei Lin quickly stood up from his seat and bowed to the emperor and said.

"explain."

"The Taiwei, the Censor and others think that the Fengshan incident is not feasible for the time being. The main reason is that they are afraid of consuming the national treasury. But now I am here to report to the emperor and his colleagues that the Shaofu's income this year is enough to cope with the emperor's Fengshan next year." Wei Lin was a little old, but when he said this, he was full of energy.

"The Fengshan incident will be exhausted at least 200,000 yuan. The Shaofu earns only more than 300,000 yuan a year. The daily expenses of building imperial tombs, palaces and palaces are huge. Every year, some need to be allocated from the court's treasury to meet the expenses. How can the 200,000 yuan be left this year?" The censor Feng Jie stood up and said in confusion. Not only Feng Jie was puzzled, but the ministers and emperor present were also stunned.

"Don't be impatient." Wei Lin said with a smile: "The 200,000 gold that was spared, Chen Sheng, the governor of the county in Central Fujian, has earned it for the Shaofu." Wei Lin took out a roll of bamboo slips from his wide sleeves and raised it high towards the emperor. The sharp-eyed eunuch next to him ran over, took the bamboo slips, and passed it to the emperor's desk.

"This is the report of the county magistrate of Minzhong County Ying Huo and the county magistrate Han Dongqing. This is the income of the Shaofu in Minzhong County in spring and summer." Wei Lin had already memorized the contents of the bamboo slips. He smiled and said, "Chen Sheng, the county magistrate of Minzhong County, opened a tea mountain in Fujian, set up a salt field, and built a paper... a paper mill, and also opened three silver mines. The Shaofu was in charge of the world's good turbulent profits of rivers and iron, so part of the income was returned to the inner palace. In the past few months, the Shaofu alone made a profit of tea mountain alone, and the Shaofu received 10,000 gold. The salt field exchanged the Shaofu for 14,000 gold... The biggest profit was the three silver mines, authorized to the Wujia in Longxi and the Lingjia in Bajun, and collected a deposit of 180,000 gold. In addition, three years later, the Shaofu still made profits every year." Wei Lin's voice was ups and downs, and the whole audience was silent.

A faint smile appeared on the emperor's face. The ministers present looked surprised. In fact, in the eyes of some civil officials, the emperor's expedition to the barbaric land of Lingnan in the south was actually to satisfy his achievements in martial arts. The barbaric and backward areas of Lingnan were also a loss for victory. Unexpectedly, the Minzhong County was pacified in less than half a year, but it had already made the Shaofu so full that the court officials had to look at him with admiration.

"Good boy!" Hearing Chen Sheng's so righteous, the emperor nodded in praise. In the emperor's eyes, Minzhong County is a place where birds do not shit, and it was thrown to Chen Sheng, just to try Chen Sheng's ability. Unexpectedly, Chen Sheng was not in office for a while, and his administration was remarkable and he was also very good at making money for him. Long Yan was very happy, and the emperor no longer asked the ministers to discuss it and said, "Prime Minister Wei, since money is not a problem, then we should start to arrange it. We can travel in February next year, and it will be half a year. It should not be tight, right?"

"After half a year of preparation, it's enough!" Wei Lin bowed and knelt down.

"Even if the emperor has enough money and food, the emperor is traveling with a huge team, and it is not easy to walk on the road!" The Grand Marshal Wang Ben stood up worriedly and said to the emperor. He has been using troops to the six countries for many years, knows the geographical environment of various places, and understands the difficulties of the emperor's travel. In Wang Ben's heart, he is unwilling to leave Xianyang. The world has not yet been pacified, so who knows whether the emperor's travel is safe?"

"If I start to rectify the Chidao now, I am sure that I can repair a spacious Chidao within half a year!" Li Si glanced at Wang Ben, stood up, and bowed to the emperor and said.
