Chapter 85 Water Can Carry a Boat, but It Can Also Overturn It

After Zhao Lang finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.

After waiting for a while, no one spoke.

The few people in the room just stared at Zhao Lang.

Zhao Lang was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the status of the head of the peasant family is so worthless?

Anyhow, give some reaction!

Zhao Lang tentatively shouted,

"father?"

Qin Shihuang just woke up from a dream, and asked with a trembling voice,

"Lang'er, what did you say?"

Seeing this reaction, Zhao Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that it wasn't that the status of the head of the peasant family was worthless, but that several people were dumbfounded.

So he took out his own jade badge of the head of the peasant family, and said again,

"Father, I am the head of the farm family now."

Of course, Zhao Lang didn't reveal the fact that he only had three or five subordinates.

Seeing the jade tablet in Zhao Lang's hand, Wang Jian and Li Si looked at each other.

Found the shock in the other party's eyes.

One of them is the head of the military school, and the other is the head of the legal school.

They all have the means to identify each token.

This is the tacit understanding among various schools of thought.

What Zhao Lang held was indeed a token of the head of the farm family!

But this shocked them even more!

Wang Jian never imagined how Zhao Lang became the head of the peasant family right under his nose.

At this time, Qin Shihuang was very upset and didn't know what to do.

He was decisive in killing and killing in his life, and this was the first time he encountered such a situation!

The farm family seems to be one of the most inconspicuous among the hundreds of scholars.

But Qin Shihuang, who was an emperor, also knew that the farmhouse contained great power.

He has always wanted to subdue the peasant family.

It's a pity that the peasants of the world were slandered by the nobles of the six countries and various other reasons.

At this time, I don't have a good impression of the royal family.

If Zhao Lang regained his status as a prince, it would be difficult to maintain his status as the head of the peasant family.

This is almost, once in a lifetime.

Qin Shihuang was in a dilemma for a while.

Seeing Qin Shihuang distracted again, Zhao Lang shouted helplessly,

"father?"

After all, Qin Shihuang is the first emperor of China, he exhaled slowly, already made a decision in his heart, and said,

"Lang'er, this happened suddenly, it's because Dad lost his composure."

"But you did a good job in this matter, which is extremely helpful to our great cause!"

"What do you want, just say it!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gao, who was stunned at the side, knew that Qin Shihuang didn't intend to tell Zhao Lang's identity today.

When Zhao Lang heard this, he immediately grinned, knowing that his plan had succeeded.

And he did ask, saying,

"Father, that, I need some money."

"money?"

Qin Shihuang was slightly surprised and said,

"Didn't someone give you 10,000 taels of gold a few days ago?"

Zhao Lang nodded embarrassingly. To be precise, in the past few months, he has already taken 30,000 taels of gold from Daddy Cheap.

Plus the six thousand taels from Gong Zigao.

Well, it's almost all spent.

"Father, I am the head of the family anyway, with so many people."

"The cost is a bit higher."

Qin Shihuang was dumbfounded, is this too big?

You are simply a gold swallowing beast!

Of course, the things that Zhao Lang had already given him were priceless treasures.

But even if he has money, he can't afford to spend it like this.

Seeing Daddy Cheap like this, Zhao Lang said quickly,

"Father, don't worry, I won't take it for nothing."

"I have something new that will definitely satisfy you."

Qin Shihuang thought it was stirrups and horseshoes,

After all, these things were secretly given to him by Uncle Fu.

So said,

"It's okay, dad knows you're not a waste of money, in a few days, I'll give you another 20,000 taels of gold."

When Zhao Lang heard it, there was nothing else to say, just look at the atmosphere.

Most of all, it represents a great deal of trust.

Zhao Lang immediately patted him as a flatterer, and said,

"Father, when we succeed in our great career, you will become the emperor, and you will definitely be the best emperor in all ages!"

Hearing his son's flattery, Qin Shihuang felt very comfortable, but he quickly asked with a smile,

"Didn't you say before that the current First Emperor is the first emperor of all time?"

Zhao Lang was taken aback for a moment, forgetting that this flattery had already been used.

But he said,

"It's true that the first emperor is the number one in the ages, but he is not without flaws."

Qin Shihuang immediately raised his eyebrows and said,

"Last time you just talked about the advantages of the first emperor, this time you can talk about the shortcomings, and see if we can find each other's flaws."

Hearing this, the rest of the people tensed up instantly.

No one is perfect, and Qin Shihuang is not without flaws, but he dared to say it in front of Qin Shihuang.

hardly!

Zhao Lang didn't realize it, and showed the air of bragging with others in his previous life, saying,

"Father, the first emperor's majesty is great, but he also has shortcomings that ordinary people have."

"I'll just say two things, and you'll see."

"Build the Afang Palace and the Lishan Tomb."

"These two things are a waste of time and money, and extremely hurt people's hearts."

Hearing these two words, Qin Shihuang's heart sank slightly, but he said calmly,

"Lang'er, you also said that the first emperor is one emperor through the ages, so isn't it worthy of these two residences?"

Of these two places, one is for life and the other is for after death.

Zhao Lang returned,

"The first emperor is naturally worthy, but now there are hundreds of thousands of troops fighting in the north and south of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the consumption is countless!"

"We still have to repair the Great Wall and maintain the straight roads. These are very expensive projects."

"The people are exhausted."

Zhao Lang also learned about these situations through farmers from all over the place.

Zhao Lang continued,

"Of course, these are all necessary projects, and it can be said that they will benefit thousands of years!"

It's not Zhao Lang's bragging, it's Qin Zhidao, it's no exaggeration to say that later generations have been using it for nearly a thousand years.

"But it's also harming the present."

"So relatively, these two residences are not that important."

Qin Shihuang frowned suddenly and said,

"I heard that the construction of these two places was built with the property of the six countries."

"The people are just doing corvee according to the regulations."

Hearing this, Zhao Lang suddenly laughed,

"Father, you have traveled all over the world, why do you still have such thoughts?"

"I don't know what the first emperor ordered, but don't you know what the officials below will do?"

"Furthermore, many places today are controlled by the nobles of the six countries. The First Emperor stole money from them. Wouldn't they get it back from the people?"

"If things go on like this, people's grievances will inevitably boil over."

At this time, Zhao Lang thought of the words of a later emperor,

"Father, the so-called people are like water, and the king is like a boat."

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

Hearing this, Qin Shihuang only felt that Hong Zhong Da Lu seemed to be ringing in his mind! Deafening!

And the people next to them were even more horrified!
