"When papermaking technology comes on track, I will hurry up and purify the refined salt. This matter cannot be delayed!"

Ying Zheng explained seriously.

As the ministers said, the Qin Dynasty's purification of inland salt can not only benefit the people, but also prevent the people from worrying about salt, but also restrain other countries with salt.

Salt is an essential element in the body every day. Once it is missing, it will become weak all over.

Therefore, salt is also a very in short supply in other countries.

If Daqin had a huge amount of salt in his hands, he could trade foreign countries or use it to threaten it!

It is very important to Daqin!

"Don't worry, my father, after the paper is made, I will immediately find the craftsman who will serve as a supervisor to start purifying..."

Xiao Zhengtai picked up the jade seal placed on the table and played with it in his hands. "But the purification of salt requires a large number of people, and it is not enough to just serve as the prisoner!"

"This is easy to say!"

Ying Zheng handed Xiao Zhengtai a golden sign with fine red tassel ropes on the bottom. The front is a small seal carved word, and the back is engraved with Qin.

"What's this?"

Xiao Zhengta took it and looked it over and over again, but he didn't see any tricks.

Ying Zheng smiled and explained, "This is my token of troops, and its function is equivalent to a tiger talisman. With this token, you can mobilize troops to the army at any time and let them assist in purification!"

"Equivalent to the tiger talisman?"

This scared Xiao Zhengta.

Wouldn't that mean that you can mobilize your troops at any time in the future?

Is this old guy not afraid of rebelling himself?

Yes, he is now a five-year-old baby, how could he have the intention to rebel?

Xiao Zhengtai opened her mouth and bit her hard on the token.

"Stop biting, burping again and ruining your teeth. This token is made of pure gold, so you have to collect it!"

Looking at Xiao Zhengtai's philanthropic appearance, Ying Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"It's really golden?"

Xiao Zhengtai's eyes suddenly lit up.

If this is put into future generations, how much will it cost!

“That’s natural…!”

Ying Zheng nodded and continued, "If necessary, the craftsmen who work as supervisors can also be dispatched at any time, but they cannot delay the construction period of Afang Palace too much!"

"Father, why did you build Afang Palace?"

"Of course we must treat it as the new dynasty palace of my Great Qin and show the majesty of my Great Qin!"

"Is the Qilin Palace damaged?"

"No!"

"Then why do we need to build the Afang Palace? Building the Afang Palace will inevitably cost the people and cause money, just for an invisible and intangible dignity..."

Xiao Zhengtai stood on Ying Zheng's table and said in a tender voice: "Wouldn't it be better to use the money for building Afang Palace to build dams, improve farm tools, buy war horses, and strengthen troops? True majesty is not something you can get by building a palace, but only if the country is strong and the people are rich can you have majesty!"

"If the people are poor and the army's armor is in ragged, no matter how beautiful the palace is, it will be for others!"

"Since the father believes that papermaking and salt purification techniques are urgent, what's wrong with delaying the progress of Afang Palace? If the father insists that the progress of Afang Palace cannot be delayed, then the ministers will not be able to lead people to study those technologies that benefit the country and the people!"

In addition to papermaking, he would bring many things to the craftsmen in the future.

With fewer craftsmen, the construction period in Afang Palace will naturally be delayed!

"Forehead……!"

After hearing what Xiao Zhengtai said, Ying Zheng pinched his chin and began to think.

You should know that in history, Feng Quji, Li Si and Feng Jie once proposed to Hu Hai to stop the construction of the Afang Palace, but they were both executed by Hu Hai. When Xiao Zhengtai said this, he was unsure.

But through this period of time, coupled with the trust that Ying Zheng gave him to the gold medal, Xiao Zhengtai decided to give it a try.

He believed that Ying Zheng was a wise ruler, and as long as he analyzed the pros and cons, he would agree!

In an instant, time seemed to have stopped, and the quiet needles in the hall could be heard.

The little eunuch Jingfu put his hands respectfully in front of him, lowered his head, and did not dare to make a sound!

After a moment, Ying Zheng suddenly burst into laughter, "Haha, okay, according to your kid, the construction of Afang Palace is temporarily suspended. As long as there is a need, all the craftsmen will be dispatched by you!"

After hearing this, Jingfu suddenly raised his head.

Your Majesty actually agreed?

Can Your Majesty compromise on the affairs of Afang Palace?

It can be seen that the weight of the young master in His Majesty’s mind!

Xiao Zhengtai didn't expect Ying Zheng to agree so quickly, and immediately showed a cute smile, "Father, the wise and wise man, there is actually no need to mobilize too many craftsmen now. Afang Palace can continue, but there will inevitably be some delays in the future!"

"But don't worry, my father, when papermaking and salt purification are on track, my sons can also recruit some craftsmen from the people and draw all the prisoners back!"

"It's okay! You're right. The majesty of the Qin Dynasty is not in a palace, but in the prosperity of the people!"

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

The Afang Palace was built in 212 BC. At that time, Ying Zheng was already deeply poisoned, and it might be a bit confused to make this decision.

Now after taking Yijin and Marrow Cleansing Pill, all the toxins in the body are removed, and the mind is restored to a clear mind, and you can make the right decision!

"By the way, last time you kid told me about improving the status of craftsmen, I have considered it and can indeed be implemented. Go back and write a detailed reform strategy, and I will discuss it with the ministers. As long as the ministers agree to implement it immediately, it will be regarded as the first step in the reform of the Qin Dynasty!"

The Qin Dynasty's court system has been underway for hundreds of years. If you want to reform rashly, you will definitely be opposed or even rebellious.

In order to avoid turmoil in the court, he decided to start with the last craftsmen!

"Thank you, Father!"

Xiao Zhengtai quickly bowed and thanked him.

"Don't rush to thank you for now. All the ministers have to nod. You have seen those old guys, and you will definitely have many obstacles!"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said.

Although he was the emperor and many important decisions required him to nod, he was not a foolish monarch who insisted on doing his own thing, and had to discuss major matters with his ministers.

What made Xiao Zhengta funny was that since this old man took Yijin Marrow Cleansing Pill, he was relaxed and energetic, and even joked that all the ministers were old.

He must have forgotten his previous state, right?

If I hadn't met him, I had already buried it in the loess now, how could I have the chance to eat his hot pot and fried skewers?

"Okay, don't laugh at you, just do whatever you should do!"

After saying everything that should be said, Ying Zheng waved his hand at Xiao Zhengtai.

"Thank you, Father!"

Ying Feiyu put the gold medal in his arms and jumped off the table.

"Blessed by Father!"

Xiao Zhengtai waved his hand and ran out of the hall in a flash.

"Swing..."

"What does this mean?"

Ying Zheng muttered in a low voice and waved his hand unconsciously.

"Is it meant to wave your hand?"

"Well! That's probably it!"
