Chapter 118 Summoning the Prime Minister, the Shaofu Order, and the Qin Du Order (Fifth update for Nuanyang 1314 Silver Alliance)

"My minister is going to send someone to try sea transportation from the Chu region. If it is feasible, a large amount of materials from the Chu region can be transported to the Central Plains!"

There are too many good things in Jiujiang now, let alone potatoes, corn, and modern wheat and rice.

These have been planted for one season, and even the second season has been planted in the Chu Palace Farm.

Jiujiang County has grown by millions of people in a few months, and there has been no food crisis. The most important thing is that the food output in various farms is too high.

Now the land cultivated by the people of Chu is about to be harvested in autumn, and the grain in the farm is about to be harvested for the second season.

It would be a complete waste to keep so much food in Chu, but if it were to be transported to the Central Plains, it would only be consumed by men and horses along the way, which would consume almost one-third.

What's even more troublesome is that the current roads are not safe. Even the local county magistrate may not be able to tell which cottage in his territory is a bandit.

But there is no such trouble in shipping. There are talents in Jinyiwei who have experienced shipping, so we can try it first.

After listening to Zhao Wen's introduction to sea transportation, the First Emperor's eyes lit up, and he immediately discovered the benefits of this transportation method. It consumed less money and the transportation speed was faster. It was definitely the most suitable for transporting bulk materials.

While they were talking, Chu Yi and Chu Er copied out the main contents of the piled up memorials, and attached their handling opinions at the end.

Zhao Wen took out a pen and drew a check mark behind the handling opinions to express his agreement.

With one glance and ten lines, three strokes, five divisions, and two divisions, the First Emperor saw that he was extremely busy on weekdays and had not finished all the memorials. He had even accumulated many memorials, but Zhao Wen had to finish them all in a short time.

Seeing that Zhao Wen was already saying goodbye, the First Emperor waved his hand directly.

But after Zhao Wen left, he took out a few pieces of paper that Zhao Wen had just processed, then found the bamboo slips and looked at them carefully.

In the eyes of the First Emperor, this was a state matter, and every matter was related to many people. There must be no carelessness. How could one trust the opinions of two eunuchs?

Taking Chu Yi with him, Chu Yi walked lightly out of the Qin Palace. All the Imperial Guards along the way looked much more respectful.

However, Zhao Wen never paid attention to these people. In the future, he will definitely not live in this old palace and compete with the First Emperor for space. Building a new palace is inevitable.

And his new palace will also re-select the imperial army instead of using the current batch.

"Summon the Prime Minister, the Shaofu Ling and the Qin Du Ling to come to see me in the mansion!"

After sending Chu Yi and Chu Er to convey the order, they got on the carriage that came to pick them up from the Prince's Mansion and headed towards their Prince's Mansion.

Everything in the prince's palace has been taken over by the servants brought back from the Chu palace. As soon as Zhao Wen entered, he saw a group of his concubines standing neatly in the courtyard to greet him.

Everyone had a look of fear and anxiety on their faces. When they saw Zhao Wen come in and after saluting, everyone looked at Zhao Wen expectantly.

Everyone knows what happened when His Royal Highness entered the palace this time.

Except for Lu Pheasant, all the women here come from top wealthy families. No one understands the changes in status brought about by different statuses better than these women.

Seeing Zhao Wen nod, the expressions on the faces of the group of women began to brighten in an instant. If Liu Bang, a foreign minister, was not there, I am afraid that a few of them would have immediately come to entangle him.

He signaled his woman to step back, glanced at Liu Bang who was following closely behind him, and strode towards the living room.

"Your Highness, the county soldiers and craftsmen from Jiujiang County have been arranged to a military camp outside the city!"

Now that he knew that His Highness had confirmed to inherit the throne, the news he had discovered last night was irrelevant. Liu Bang told Zhao Wen what he knew as quickly as possible.

"I didn't expect that the first person to cause trouble for me would be Zhao Gao!"

Zhao Wen shook his head slightly and said: "The county soldiers will stay in the military camp for training. As for Zhao Gao, let the Jin Yiwei handle it. The intelligence network in Zhao Gao's hands will be taken over by the Jin Yiwei. As for Zhao Gao, just Ming Zhengdian and punish him!"

Zhao Wen knew that Zhao Gao must have a secret, otherwise he would not be bent on destroying the Qin Empire, but his most important thing now is to take over the Qin Empire smoothly, and the rest can be put aside.

There is no era without rebels. As long as he is still there, no matter who rebels, they can easily suppress it.

While they were talking, Chu Yi came to report that the prime minister, the Shaofu Ling and the Qin Du Ling asked to see him.

"Meet Your Highness!"

The three of them are all qualified to go to court. After seeing the strength of Jinyiwei and Dongchang today, the three of them have determined in their hearts that the next generation of emperors of Qin must be His Highness. When they salute, they have the same look as if they are paying homage to the emperor.

The face is solemn.

"There are a few things for you to do!"

First, he looked at Prime Minister Wang Guan and said: "Jiujiang County has a large amount of food that needs to be transported. A lot of high-yielding food is used to make seeds. It consumes too much manpower. I plan to let Jin Yiwei build a big ship and try to use sea transportation." The Prime Minister looked at

Make arrangements!”

This kind of transportation from south to north cannot be easily accomplished by Zhao Wen in just one sentence. Not only does it require a large number of shipwrights to build the ship, but even if it is transported, there is still a long land route, and even ports and warehouses need to be built.

These all need to be coordinated by the Prime Minister.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will handle it as soon as possible!" Wang Guan has heard many times about Jiujiang County's high-yielding grains, and now it is definitely a good thing for him, the prime minister, to transport the seeds.

If the food problem of the Qin Dynasty can be solved during his term, he will be a wise prime minister even a thousand years later.

"As for the order of the Shaofu, I will send a deputy to the Shaofu. This is Liu Bang, who is my general manager in the Chu palace in Jiujiang County. I also brought back a group of top craftsmen from Jiujiang this time. You two will go there in a while.

Hand over!"

"promise!"

The Shaofu is the emperor's steward, so it is natural for His Highness to assign his own personnel to the Shaofu. Naturally, the Shaofu's order does not dare to have any objections.

"Greetings to the Shaofu Ling!" Liu Bang bowed respectfully to the Shaofu Ling.

The Shaofu Ling is one of the nine ministers, an important minister in the court, and he was born as a pavilion chief. Even if he is added as the general manager of the Chu Palace, there is still a huge difference in status between the Shaofu Ling and the Shaofu Ling.

Liu Bang was overjoyed when he thought that he had actually been promoted from Pavilion Chief to Deputy Commander of the Shaofu in just a few months. His Highness obviously still remembered that he would ask him to serve as the Deputy Commander of the Shaofu in the future.

But he still knew in his heart that before His Highness truly became the emperor, he could never do anything in the Young Mansion to tarnish His Highness's reputation. Moreover, whether he could serve as the Young Master's order depended on whether he could control the Young Mansion.

Immediately, he saluted the Shaofu Ling in the most respectful manner.

"Qin Du ordered us to find two larger places. Since Jinyiwei and Dongchang have been established, they will naturally have their own yamen. I will not ask the court about this, and just let them build one themselves!"

"promise!"

"Those are the three small things, now let's get down to business!"
