Chapter 997 Talent
It's still winter in Xianyang, but at this time, Chen Ping, who is in the Prime Minister's Office, is already sweating profusely from work.
In fact, his current official position is not that of Li Sigao.
But now the other party is supporting him and giving in to him in everything.
Let him take charge of even this kind of thing that can show his face in front of the whole world.
Chen Ping was still somewhat grateful to the other party.
I was just too busy. Chen Ping asked at this time,
"Xiao He from the north, Hu Zhao from the east, go to hell, the King of the Huns, and General Han Xin, have you heard any news about their return?"
"Back to Shangguan, the road is difficult in winter, and there is no reply yet!"
"Where's the one to the south?"
"General Meng Yi and General Zhao Tuo from the south have responded urgently, and they will definitely come to see you in the spring."
"I know, send some troops to the north, and make sure to bring the news!"
"yes!"
While Chen Ping was busy, he was also smiling bitterly.
It doesn't matter that His Majesty suddenly announced his abdication, they are very busy.
It's winter now, it's fine in the south, I can barely move around, but it's difficult in the north, it's probably not until the beginning of spring that this news can be delivered.
Those people should have just enough time to get back, the time is too rushed.
Of course, no one will complain to His Majesty that this is not the right time.
Moreover, Zhao Lang's rise to power is also good for people like them.
If nothing else, the power of Conglong is enough to make everyone excited!
Naturally, the others had the same reaction, and soon, the messengers were heading north again.
After arranging these, Chen Ping picked up a booklet and asked,
"Why are there so few ceremony guards prepared here?"
Upon hearing the question, the official in charge of the matter quickly replied,
"Shangguan, this is prepared according to the minimum standard, so naturally there will be less."
Chen Ping suddenly frowned. How dare you use the lowest standards for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's enthronement ceremony?
But before he asked, the official quickly continued to explain,
"This is also what His Highness the Crown Prince means. Nowadays, the people of Daqin are still suffering a lot. These supplies will be sent to the poorest places in Daqin."
Hearing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but reveal a wry smile,
Although there are many of these things, they are not worth mentioning compared to the people of Daqin who need help.
, He didn’t know whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was trying to win over people’s hearts or whether he truly cared about those people.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this approach.
It is even more the performance of the Holy King,
It's just that he couldn't really make this enthronement ceremony so shabby.
Otherwise, he won't be able to survive in this life.
But the people's things still have to be given to the people. The national treasury's budget only has so much, and if you want extra supplies, you can only turn to outsiders.
With a slight movement in his heart, Chen Ping remembered the way His Royal Highness the Crown Prince built the Daqin Royal Academy, and quickly said,
"Tomorrow I will invite some of the larger nobles in Xianyang to come to the government office. I will tell them that I want to entertain them."
"Go and notify the big businessmen in Xianyang City and ask them to come, but the time will be staggered."
Hearing this, the officials were stunned for a moment.
They are so busy now that they don't even sleep much. Where do they have time to entertain people?
And even if you invite the nobles, why should you invite those businessmen?
But when the other party ordered them, they had no choice but to obey.
Soon in Xianyang, nobles from better-off families received invitations from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although everyone was doubtful, they still came to keep the appointment.
After all, they don't want to offend Chen Ping, who will definitely be the Zuo Prime Minister of Qin in the future.
But after arriving at the scene and looking at the simple banquet in the middle of the Prime Minister's office,
Everyone was a little dumbfounded. This was not like a banquet.
But Chen Ping seemed to not be able to see it, and greeted him very warmly,
"Come on, come on, you all have a rare opportunity today. No matter business, we only talk about personal relationships. Hurry up and take your seats."
The nobles looked at each other, and the noble in the end couldn't help but said,
"Well, Brother Chen Ping is so busy, I really can't bear to disturb him."
Chen Ping deliberately sighed slightly at this time,
"I'm really ashamed that I was discovered by you all."
The nobles couldn't help but have a trace of confusion on their faces. What did they find?
They didn't say anything!
At this time Chen Ping has continued to say,
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about the people and ordered that all the ceremonial materials for his enthronement be given to the poor people."
"Now the enthronement ceremony is missing some supplies."
"Alas, when I think of His Highness the Crown Prince loving the people so much, I can't help but sigh in my heart, but it makes you laugh."
After hearing this, no matter how stupid the nobles were, they understood.
The leading noble quickly said,
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's love for the people is a blessing to us, and even more so to us."
"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's enthronement ceremony must not be taken lightly. I am willing to donate some supplies. Please accept it from Brother Chen Ping!"
"Yes, yes, it's the same below!"
"There's more down there!"
With someone as an example, the nobles naturally rushed to send things over.
It's not that they were coerced, but they wanted to thank the other party for the opportunity after giving them money.
Chen Ping suddenly showed a smile and said,
"Thank you very much! Come on, let's have a drink together!"
Since it is a banquet, it should naturally look like a banquet.
A glass of wine is also a banquet.
He is not a robber,
After this incident, he not only solved the material problem, but also got closer to these nobles.
Everyone is very satisfied.
Of course, Chen Ping did not stop immediately. He asked people to change some utensils, and then called the businessmen over.
Soon, the businessmen came in with some fear.
Chen Ping showed a very kind smile at this time and said,
"Everyone, please take your seats."
"I called you here today to thank you for your tax contributions to the Qin Dynasty. His Highness the Crown Prince has already said that you have made great contributions!"
"Come, I'd like to toast you all."
After hearing this, the businessmen all smiled. Although the banquet was a bit shabby, the words still sounded very comfortable.
They all picked up their wine glasses,
After letting these people drink a glass of wine, Chen Pingcai said,
"How's the wine?"
The businessmen laughed and said,
"This wine is excellent!"
"Excellent! Excellent!"
"good..."
But before they finished speaking, they heard Chen Ping wave his hand and said with a wry smile,
"I know that you are giving me face, but this wine is not a long time, but... Oh, don't tell me, come on, drink!"
The leader's businessman's eyes lit up. If they couldn't hear this, they wouldn't be able to achieve this position. He quickly said,
"Why are you worried, Sir? Maybe we can help."
Chen Ping naturally took advantage of the situation and said what he just said, but there was something different in the end.
"Although His Royal Highness has a lot of supplies, it is too little for so many people."
"Poor people, oh, why are you talking about this..."
Upon hearing this, the leading businessman immediately said,
"Shang Guan! We kindly ask for your permission to take out some supplies to support His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Chen Ping shook his head repeatedly.
"Hey, how can this be done? This is a major matter for the country, but businessmen..."
Just didn't wait for him to finish speaking,
The businessmen kept saying,
"Shangguan! We don't need to be famous. In the name of His Highness the Crown Prince, we can still use business methods. I just hope that I can contribute some efforts to this grand event!"
Seeing this scene, Chen Ping reluctantly replied,
"Okay, I'll go and beg for mercy from His Highness the Crown Prince. Come on, let's have a drink first!"
Not long after, Zhao Lang looked at the information sent by Black Ice Guard and couldn't help but say,
"Talent!"
