Chapter 1000 Liu Ji Has Made Great Progress! Ying Chengqiu San Please Reward Him!
Liu Ji's heart was lifted.
He made the right bet!
As expected, he waited until Ying Zheng's second conquest!
With his mind racing, Liu Ji quickly looked at Ying Chengyu.
Without hinting with his eyes, Liu Ji asked openly: "Chang'an Lord, how do you think a humble person should make a decision?"
Ying Chengqiao said warmly: "Mr. Liu's path must be walked by Mr. Liu himself after all."
"No matter what Mr. Liu chooses, I will support Mr. Liu's choice!"
Ying Chengyu would not restrict Liu Ji's development because he suspected that Liu Ji was the Han emperor Liu Bang, otherwise wouldn't he be making the same mistake as Wang Mang?
There is not much age difference between Ying Chengyu, Ying Zheng and Liu Ji.
Instead of placing hope in limiting the possibility of Han Emperor's death, so that countless Liu Jis who changed their names to Liu Bang would pop up in the world, it would be better to let Ying Zheng live a few more years!
And a truly capable person like Liu Ji should use his abilities as much as possible to help the Qin Dynasty prosper!
After hearing what Ying Chengyu said, Liu Ji faced Ying Zheng and solemnly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am humbled by such a despicable person. I am deeply humbled, and I am willing to serve in the Qin Dynasty and share the worries of your Majesty!"
A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
But before Ying Zheng could speak, Liu Ji changed the subject and said, "Of course!"
"It's really despicable to be humble. I can't bear to part with these pigs."
"Please, Your Majesty, give me some time, and allow me to settle these pigs first, and then I can serve them in the court!"
If it were a narrow-minded king, he would probably be dissatisfied because of this. I have given you face by conquering you twice, but you pretended to be? Do you even still miss your old master? Do you think you are the only one who needs me?
If he were a broad-minded king, he would think that Liu Ji was a person who missed old friendships and understood kindness, so he would once again improve his evaluation of Liu Ji and feel more at ease with Liu Ji.
Liu Ji was betting that Ying Zheng, who had conquered Liu Ji twice and entered the dynasty, was a broad-minded king. He was betting that Ying Zheng would not feel that it was wrong for Liu Jizhong to be loyal to Ying Chengyu!
Liu Ji made the right bet.
Ying Zheng's voice became gentler and he smiled and nodded: "Having a beginning and an end is the way to do things!"
"It is truly a blessing for me to have someone as talented as Liu Haoniao at my disposal!"
"Even if Liu Hao Niao never mentions it, I will still ask Liu Hao Niao to continue to manage the affairs of the Boar Court until someone else can take charge of it on his behalf."
"Liu Hairpin's invitation is accepted!"
Liu Ji suddenly held up his hands with a look of surprise on his face: "I'm humble, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Liu Hairpin, please don't be in a hurry to thank me."
"Pass the widow's order!"
Ying Zheng looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The hairpin of Liu Ji has made great contributions to the control of pigs in the Qin Dynasty."
"For this meritorious service, I grant Liu Jijue the title of doctor! I will give the doctor Liu Ji a hundred pieces of cloth and ten thousand yuan, and send him back to his hometown!"
"We'll wait until the work of managing the Botanical Garden is completed before we start building it again!"
Even though he was well prepared, Liu Ji was still stunned.
In the past, Liu Ji traveled east and west, searching for benefactors all over the world. He carefully considered his words and deeds, just to be recommended to the court as an official.
Liu Ji never expected that just by managing the affairs of the Bo Yuan under the instructions of Ying Chengxuan, he would not only get the opportunity to serve as an official in the court, but he would also be awarded the title of doctor!
From now on, Liu Ji jumped into the middle ranks of the Qin Dynasty. A noble man can also call himself a small powerful person!
What Liu Ji didn't expect was that Ying Zheng actually wanted to send a hundred pieces of cloth and ten thousand dollars to Liu Ji's registered residence, Zhongyangli, Pei County.
One hundred pieces of cloth and ten thousand dollars are no longer a big sum of money to Liu Ji today, and they are not worthy of Ying Zheng's special mention.
Liu Ji knew very well that Ying Zheng's move was not really to give Liu Ji money and cloth, but to use the money and cloth to tell Liu Ji's fellow villagers:
Liu Ji, he has made a difference!
Thinking of how Ah Weng, who had always despised him for not having the ability, would react when he heard the news, and how those fellow villagers who looked down on him would regret not establishing a good relationship with him in advance, Liu Ji was actually trembling with excitement. .
With a bang, he handed over his hands and Liu Ji sincerely shouted: "I humble myself, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Your Majesty, you are so considerate!
Immediately afterwards, Liu Ji bowed his hands to Ying Chengyu again, and shouted more sincerely: "I am humble, thank you Chang'an Lord for choosing me to humiliate me!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Ji stopped occupying any more time and immediately retreated behind Ying Chengyu, leaving the stage to his other colleagues.
Tan Tao and others couldn't help but cast grateful glances at Liu Ji. Ying Chengyu also smiled and nodded at Liu Ji, and then continued: "Tan Tao, the Minister of Animal Control, spontaneously went to control the pigs when the hospital was established. I will teach you my experience in handling livestock.”
"Every time I have free time, I go to the hog farm as soon as possible, and I almost take care of the hogs without taking off my clothes."
"My brother thinks that Tan Xun Shengcheng also has great achievements!"
A person with meritorious deeds was read out one by one by Ying Chengyu.
Ying Chengxuan did not have the idea of detaining some talents for his own use, but recommended them vigorously without hesitation, striving to allow every meritorious person to receive the rewards they deserve.
It was not until Ying Chengxuan read out the names of more than twenty people that Ying Zheng interrupted Ying Chengxuan and ordered: "For the remaining meritorious people, the Lord of Chang'an should write a memorial and submit it to me."
"I should live a good life watching my actions and appreciating my achievements!"
Ying Chengyu also cupped his hands and said, "Wei!"
Those who were not rewarded on the spot were inevitably a little disappointed, but they also solemnly handed over their hands full of hope: "I humbly thank you, Your Majesty!"
The smile on Ying Zheng's face became sincere again: "Those who have made meritorious deeds should be rewarded."
"Chang'an Jun's contribution to controlling Chang'an pigs should be greatly rewarded!"
"pass……"
Before Ying Zheng could finish speaking, Ying Chengyu secretly thought something bad.
Didn’t you just bypass the title Changan Pig? Why did you score twice?
Ying Chengyu immediately interrupted Ying Zheng and said: "My brother has something to ask for, so I dare to ask for a reward!"
Ying Zheng did not show any dissatisfaction at being interrupted. Instead, he was quite happy and said: "Chang'an Lord, you can speak out!"
"As long as you don't ask for a vacation, everyone should agree to it!"
More than 200,000 hogs are enough for a Guizhou chief to be promoted to the title of king! It's just that it's impossible to get food.
The income gained from the cultivation of the Governor's House can also enable a Guizhou head to be promoted to a feudal lord without a seat!
Now that Ying Chengyu has accomplished two great achievements at the same time, frankly speaking, Ying Zheng doesn't even know how he should reward Ying Chengyu for his achievements.
Ying Chengyun's request for a reward was actually a relief for Ying Zheng, and it was also an opportunity to help Ying Zheng understand Ying Chengyun's preferences.
Ying Chengxuan said solemnly: "My brother asked me to give this pig the name Qin Wang Zheng Sixteen Styles of Rich and Powerful Boar, so as to distinguish it from better pigs in the future."
"In order to facilitate the spread of praise among the common people, apart from the exchange of official documents, the common people can collectively call this pig the Fuqiang pig!"
This title does not conform to Da Qin’s naming habits.
But precisely because Ying Chengxuan understood the naming habits of Great Qin, Ying Chengxuan knew that Ying Zheng would never agree to such a magical pig being called simple names such as Duxian pig and Guanzhong pig.
In order to prevent himself, Ying Zheng, or Da Qin from being associated with the peeing pig in the future, Ying Chengyu gave such an answer that was not an answer.
And as its name suggests, this pig indeed bears the important responsibility of making the Qin Dynasty rich and powerful!
Ying Chengyu believes that this name is worthy of its name!
But Ying Chengyu's words had a different interpretation in Ying Zheng's ears.
The king's brother refused such a prestigious name, but wanted to add this name to the widow's reign.
Following Qin Wangzheng's fifteen-style blast furnace, Wang Di also presented Qin Wangzheng's sixteen-style prosperous pig to everyone. In the future, will Wang brother offer Qin Wangzheng's seventeen-style fetish and other gods to everyone? A year full of magic? !
Ying Zheng couldn't hide the emotion in his voice and shouted softly: "Brother Wang! There is no need for this!"
However, Ying Chengyu firmly handed over his hand: "This is one of my younger brothers' invitation! Please allow me to do it, Your Majesty!"
Li Si advised him softly: "This is the wish of Lord Chang'an. I think the king should accept it."
"The Lord of Chang'an has introduced twelve immortals to the Qin Dynasty, and will surely offer many sacred objects to the Qin Dynasty in the future. At that time, the king can give them the name of Chang'an!"
After hearing Li Si's advice, Ying Zheng was moved.
Brother Wang has the most serious thoughts!
After some hesitation, Ying Zheng finally nodded and said, "Since Brother Wang is determined to make this request, I should accept it."
"It's just that in the future, Brother Wang, please don't give me such advice again!"
Ying Chengyu smiled, did not answer, and continued: "My second brother, I would like to ask the king to give me all the money I spent on building and running the Boar Courtyard."
Ying Chengxuan indeed invested so much money and food for the management of the Boar House that the granary and treasury of the Chang'an Junfu was in serious trouble.
Lantian Workshop and Chang'an Workshop are still waiting for money! The research of Zheng Anqi, Lechen and others also requires a large amount of money and food investment! Wouldn't it be polite not to reach out to Ying Zheng at this time?
Moreover, asking Ying Zheng to pay a large amount of money can also alleviate Ying Zheng's guilt to a great extent and further weaken Ying Zheng's desire to reward Ying Cheng.
As expected, Ying Zheng said without hesitation: "Brother Wang has done a great service by offering such a treasure to the Qin Dynasty. How can I make it difficult for Brother Wang to make ends meet again?"
"How much grain and treasure did Brother Wang invest in running the Boar Garden?"
"Everyone should pay double, no, triple the amount to the king's brother!"
Ying Chengyu did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"My third brother, please ask your Majesty to search for skilled shipbuilding craftsmen in the world, and then choose a place near the sea to build a shipbuilding workshop."
"Build a ship for my brother! Build a big ship!"
Ying Zheng still said without hesitation: "Everyone agrees!"
"Other than that, what else can Brother Wang ask for? You can tell me all of them!"
Ying Chengyu said softly: "I think the king should think twice before making a decision."
"The boat I want to build is not a small boat that can travel on rivers, but a large ship that can ride on the wind and waves and float on the sea."
"What I want to build is not a ship, but a fleet of giant ships."
"The number of civilians used is hundreds of thousands! The time required can range from a few years to more than ten years! The wood used can invade thousands of miles of land! Even for today's Great Qin, it is a huge burden!"
Ying Zheng didn't even frown when he heard such a huge expenditure.
What's wrong with the high expenses? What happened to the huge use of people's power? The prince’s younger brother likes it! It’s not like I can’t afford it!
Ying Zheng just asked with some confusion: "Why did Brother Wang build this ship?"
Ying Chengxuan said calmly: "My brother wants to send alchemists to Zheng Xian's mansion to take Zheng Xian's treasure and return to Da Qin."
All the ministers were puzzled.
Zheng Xian is in Da Qin now, and Zheng Xian’s residence is in Xianyang City!
Why do we need a big boat to go to Zheng Xian's mansion to retrieve the treasure? The worst that can happen is that I will ride my horse back to Xianyang City in person.
However, Ying Zheng's pupils suddenly shrank: "Peng Lai?"
Ying Chengyu nodded gently: "Penglai!"
