Do you have any objections?"

Lin Ze got up suddenly, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Chen Ping and the others condescendingly.

Seeing Lin Ze get up, Chen Ping dared to sit still, and got up one after another.

Chen Ping took the lead in bowing down and said: "Although Your Majesty's strategy of opening up sources and reducing expenditure is good, there are several difficulties, and I am afraid it will not be easy to implement. ”

Lin Ze stretched out his hand and pressed down: "Sit down, I just want to stand for a while, you don't have to accompany me." What difficulties does the prime minister think there are, let's talk about it in detail, and solve them together while the big guys are there. ”

Before Chen Ping could speak, he heard Dongfang He, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, smile and replied: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, how can there be a reason that Your Majesty is standing and the courtiers are sitting?"

Lin Ze shook his head, he was too lazy to care about this group of rigid ministers, he loved to stand up, and he couldn't die of fatigue anyway.

Chen Ping continued: "Let's talk about throttling first, first, buy the middle grade and above natural treasures on the market at a flat price. The quality of natural materials and earth treasures is different, who should determine this parity, and how to determine it? If it is not handled well, it is very easy to cause corruption. ”

"Second, if someone secretly hides or secretly takes a medium-grade or above heaven and earth treasure, it is too difficult to investigate, how to put an end to it?"

"Third, in response to Your Majesty's decree, there is no specific punishment in the Qin Law, once someone commits a crime, how to deal with it?"

Lin Ze bowed slightly: "The prime minister is thoughtful and very relieved, how do you think the prime minister should solve these problems, or how long will it take to give a solution?"

Chen Ping was stunned when he heard this, when he was in the new policy before, Lin Ze almost had to do everything, but this time, he didn't expect that Lin Ze threw the problem back to him with his backhand, and asked him how to solve it in turn.

Seeing this, Lin Ze squinted his eyes slightly, and said unhappily: "The prime minister shouldn't expect me to solve it, right?"

I'm not a workaholic Qin Shi Huang and Zhu Yuanzhang, some things are very important, just pay attention to it, and I have to figure out everything by myself, and I can't die of exhaustion?

Besides, the emperor has done everything, why do you still raise a group of officials? With so many money and rewards given out every year, you can't raise a group of idlers who don't do anything, right?

Such a bitter emperor might as well be inappropriate.

Chen Ping was a little unsure of Lin Ze's thoughts for a while, so he could only stubbornly reply: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

Lin Ze said in passing: "It's right if you don't dare, do you have any other questions?"

Chen Ping hesitated, not knowing whether to say the next words.

Lin Ze urged a little impatiently: "Why don't you keep silent? Is there a problem?"

Chen Ping thought for a moment, and finally felt that he couldn't let it go, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Regarding open source, the minister still has a few questions. ”

Lin Ze's face softened slightly, and he said in a gentle tone: "The prime minister said that he had a problem earlier, why bother? Didn't I come to you just to discuss problems and solve problems?"

Chen Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, His Majesty seemed to have returned to normal, and then said with a sincere expression: "Your Majesty asked the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to take over all the cultivation sites of heaven and earth treasures of medium grade and above, and the minister very much agreed. ”

"But how to expand output, and how to reward merit or accountability, needs to be considered in the long run. If it is not strictly managed, the minister is worried that after the imperial court takes over, some people will take the opportunity to enrich their own pockets and endanger the interests of the imperial court. ”

Chen Ping said that Lin Ze deeply believed that the state-owned enterprises and central enterprises in later generations lost money every year, which was similar to Chen Ping's speculation.

But Lin Ze didn't intend to meddle in this matter, and said indifferently: "This matter and the strategy of throttling expenses will be handed over to the prime minister to be fully responsible. ”

"Anything else?"

Chen Ping was stunned again, but this time he was already mentally prepared, and he recovered relatively quickly, and at the same time came to a conclusion that His Majesty had really changed.

But since most of it has been said, there is no reason why the remaining points are still hidden, Chen Ping straightened his waist and said: "Your Majesty, regarding the fact that the military department sent troops to fight in all directions and plundered the treasures of heaven and earth, the minister feels that it is inappropriate. ”

"Fighting in vain, not to mention the difficulty of winning or losing, how many treasures can be snatched back, the manpower and material resources consumed, plus the bereavement and rewards, will inevitably far exceed the gains, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"The minister thinks that it is a good policy to change the conquest to an envoy, show off the force, order the Quartet to pay tribute, and the servants should be forgiven, and those who do not obey should be sent to destroy them, and it is a good policy to exchange the minimum price for the greatest benefit. ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "What the prime minister said is reasonable, just do what you say, first send an envoy to the Quartet, order the Quartet to pay tribute, and then send a large army to destroy those who do not obey." ”

"The envoy is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the Jinyi Guards Department arranges people to follow the trip, remember to draw a map on the road, so as not to find the road when you go to the expedition. ”

Chen Ping, Dongfang He, Han Xin, and Wu Fan all bowed down and responded: "The ministers obey the order." ”

Lin Ze sat down and asked for the third time, "Do you have any other questions?"

When Chen Ping heard this, he wanted to stop talking, he wanted to ask, why His Majesty was so sloppy today, but he felt that it was too presumptuous for a courtier to say such things, especially in front of other ministers, it was a big crime to bully the king, so he didn't say it.

Lin Ze was keenly aware of the change in the expression on Chen Ping's face, and took the initiative to ask, "Prime Minister, but you still haven't finished speaking?"

Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, bowed down and responded: "What the minister thinks and thinks today has been made clear to His Majesty, and there is nothing else to say. ”

Lin Ze nodded slightly, turned to the rest of the people and asked, "What about you?"

Han Xin, Wu Fan and others replied one after another: "The ministers have no objections, and everything is in accordance with Your Majesty's instructions. ”

Lin Ze stretched his waist and said: "Okay, let's go down to work, the prime minister has a great responsibility, and all the ministers must help with their hearts, I hope that Zhuqing can not only create the beginning of peace for Western Qin, but also extend the blessing of future generations, and become rich and prosperous for generations." ”

Several important ministers headed by Chen Ping bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty's teachings, the ministers and others will keep them in mind, and they will live up to Your Majesty's expectations, and the ministers will retire." ”

Then they left in turn.

Before leaving, Chen Ping glanced back at Lin Ze, and did not say the words in his stomach, but left with a trace of unwillingness.

Lin Ze saw it in his eyes, smiled indifferently, and ignored it.

Chen Ping's thoughts, Lin Ze couldn't guess where.

Doesn't Lin Ze know that the actual implementation will encounter many problems, slow progress, and poor results?

It's just that for other reasons, I just pretend not to know.

Looking at some of the things that Lin Ze did when he came back from the Dao Palace, he first instigated Zhuang Zhou to suppress the three sects of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, and then showed his attitude of sparing no effort to build eight altars.

Today's deliberations are even more of a posture of reviving the power of the whole country to build a tree of trees.

In the final analysis, it's just for the Taoist saint to see.

As for whether the degree of cooperation between the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism is high or low, whether the construction of eight altars can come in handy, and the power of the whole country can have some effect.

Sorry, it's out of my control.

Anyway, what Dao Sheng explained, on the surface, Lin Ze had tried his best, even if the result was not satisfactory, Lin Ze could say that things were too difficult, and it was not a crime of war.

This seems to be an extra move, not much different from the violation of yang and yin, but in fact, it is very different.

Either way, the attitude is in place.

Lin Ze did this, but it was also a helpless move.

First of all, Lin Ze couldn't be sure whether the revival of the Jianmu Divine Tree was an opportunity that was enough to make the saint tempted, as the Dao Saint said, or a huge pit that could pit him to death.

Secondly, the situation is stronger than people, Lin Ze is not the opponent of Dao Sheng for the time being, and he can't openly contradict him.

The combination of the two seems to be all out, but in fact the effect is average, which is the best choice.

No one can fault it.
