Although the emperor was very fond of merit and liked to be famous. Bayi Middle School     Wen√net W     w★W★.

But in fact, the emperor favored the former for his interests and reputation. He could obtain a generous amount of funds without taxes. Although it would hinder his reputation from being spread, it was great news for ordinary Guizhou.

The five places were finally sold at an average price of 50,000 gold. Among them, the Wu family in Longxi was the most popular and bought two places at once. However, the Ling family, which is as famous as the Wu family, did not bid. Some people questioned that the Ling family had invested too much in Fujian and could not afford to spend so much money in the short term.

But some people refute that the Ling family made great profits in central Fujian. The reason for this is that the head of the Ling family and the young master are both female and follow the emperor on tour, which hinders the etiquette system, so they avoid such an opportunity to make a big splash.

But in fact, the head of the Ling family, Mrs. Qing, was considerate like this. The emperor was influenced by Chen Sheng, and he often wanted to pull hair from the big merchants. Although the Ling family had a rich family, there was no need to show off every time. First, it was easy to anger the rich and powerful people in Xianyang, and second, the emperor thought about how to put his hands into the money bags of these merchants all year round. The Ling family could not really open the money foolishly and unconditionally flow the hard-earned money into the emperor's pocket.

After the five places were sold, the emperor's hunting funds became extremely abundant, and the taxes that were originally planned to be collected were put aside. Wei Lin, the historian of the Mizu, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the taxes in the court were really not light. If taxes were added, the people's lives would inevitably be in a difficult situation. Therefore, when he heard that Lao Cheng was profit-oriented and criticized the emperor's approach of rituals, music, and kings' laws, he rarely kept silent. When the doctor and Confucian scholar from the Xianyang Academy wrote to the emperor and advised the emperor to cancel the absurd "companion parade" place, Wei Lin finally couldn't help but jump out and rushed to the court. He pointed out that due to the wars in Lingnan and the north, the imperial taxes had already overwhelmed Guizhou. Having merchants to share the taxes for Guizhou is a great thing, and it is much more useful than the so-called rituals and music regulations.

The emperor was very satisfied with Wei Lin's reaction. However, from Wei Lin's unusual actions, it can be seen that Wei Lin and the old prime minister Wang Wan are no longer on the same front. The officials in the court understood that this was a signal: the old prime minister Wang Wan would soon face a second quit. This time, he would probably have no chance to return to politics...

...

Chen Sheng was not sure about the changes in the court. After staying in Panyu for a few days, he had to return to the military camp. At the end of the year, the emperor would promote and increase the title of the meritorious general as usual. With Chen Sheng's political achievements in the past year, there would inevitably be promotion. If the envoy from the court came to the military camp without Chen Sheng's figure, it would be very disrespectful. Under Li Zuoche's repeated urging, Chen Sheng had to return early. But he still missed the secret method of forging weapons by the old blacksmith and refused to leave for a long time. In the end, he asked Fan Zhi to stay and learn the art. Although Fan Zhi seemed to have a low IQ, he was a first-class expert when he became a blacksmith. In the past, it took at least one month for the old blacksmith to forge a good sword, but after Fan Zhi, who was powerful and powerful, basically tempered the metal cleans the impurities in three or four days. The sword casting rate greatly accelerated.

The wedding of Fusu Prince was held in Xianyang as scheduled. What made the rest of the princes relieved was that the scale of the wedding was not large, and the emperor did not intend to immediately position Fusu as the crown prince. Therefore, the princes could still continue to face the throne. At the same time as the Fusu wedding, the emperor awarded the title of Xu Guan to the generals who had made military achievements over the past year. Chen Sheng also jumped from the ninth-ranked five major doctors to the left and right. He ranked among the twenty-fifth-ranked title of the Great Qin title and the twelfth-ranked title.

As soon as Chen Shengjue's title came out, the head coach Ren Xiao, who fought hard in Lingnan, was only upgraded from the right level of the 14th level, and made it for the youngest. Zhao Tuo, who had outstanding military achievements, also only raised one level, one more title than Chen Sheng, and was the middle level.

However, the imperial officials did not have much opposition to the emperor's special favor to Chen Sheng. In September, Chen Sheng led the army of Minzhong County into the South China Sea, within three months, it completely changed the situation in Lingnan and even blackmailed a large amount of military rations and wealth for Qin from Lingnan. This is not counting. In addition, Hengpu Pass, which had been unable to be captured for a long time, was easily obtained in the negotiations between Chen Sheng and the King of Nanyue. It was natural for the court to promote Chen Sheng to a third-level title as a reward.

However, Wei Liao didn't realize that it was a good thing for the student to be promoted so quickly. He wanted to dissuade the emperor and promoted Chen Sheng to a higher level, but the emperor insisted on his own opinion and said, "Chen Sheng worked hard and made great contributions and promoted three consecutive titles, which is natural."

Despite this, Wei Liao was not happy at all. Writing a letter to Chen Sheng, you should not be too sharp in Lingnan. From the emperor's reward for Chen Sheng, Wei Liao vaguely realized that the emperor had a little concern about Chen Sheng's influence in Lingnan, Central Fujian. Therefore, he won Chen Sheng's loyalty with great rewards. This is a favor to Chen Sheng and a warning.

Based on this, Wei Liao also suggested that Chen Sheng should give up his plan to manage Lingnan. Next year, the emperor will return to the tour, and the court will inevitably have a round of reshuffle. At that time, there will inevitably be a large number of vacancies in the court. With Wei Liao's influence, it is no problem to give Chen Sheng a real lack.

Chen Sheng was really in trouble when facing the teacher's advice. In fact, Chen Sheng also hoped to return to the center of power in Xianyang. He wanted to change the direction of this dynasty and improve it from the bottom up outside. Whether it was time or efficiency, Chen Sheng was far from changing too many things. Only by returning to the center of the empire can he play his greatest usefulness.

But he still remembered that he saw the old Taoist in a daze after being blown away by a tornado. He remembered that the old Taoist told him that no matter what the reason was, he could not leave Lingnan and return to Xianyang.

This is a painful choice.

"Lingnan is too small. It can't tolerate the ambitions in my heart!" Chen Sheng sighed secretly. He knew very well that if he stayed in Minzhong County or Minnan, he would ignore anything that arises from the Qin court. Even if the world is in chaos in the future, he could rely on natural dangers to support his troops. But... this is not the future he wants!

"Aren't there three opportunities? The remaining two would be fine if they didn't go against the meaning of the strange old Taoist." Chen Sheng secretly comforted himself.
