Chapter 41 Development Plan
As the sun sets, the sky and the earth are gradually shrouded in darkness. The Qin Palace is still brightly lit, and the central hall is even more lively.
The Prime Minister Chen Lei, Fu Weiji, and Lieutenant Guo Qu, all of these three important figures in the Qin State were present, as well as other powerful figures in Yangdi. It can be said that many of the people present dominate the fate of the entire Qin State.
But even so, the protagonist of the banquet was not them, nor was Jiang Ji sitting upright, but the angel Wang Zhong who represented the court and brought the will of the emperor.
Everyone was guessing the purpose of this sudden angel and guessing what the emperor would do.
However, after knowing the will of Wang Zhong, despite many speculations and ideas, it still exceeded everyone's expectations.
Letting the prince dominate the land of a state and making their kingly title deserve their reputation is a very big hidden danger. If one of them succeeds to the throne and the other two are dissatisfied, it is hard to imagine that the other two will accept the facts calmly when they have the ability.
In addition, their respective supporters are spread across the empire, and the entire empire may fall apart in an instant and fall into war from then on.
Moreover, since a prince has gained real power, other princes may not have any bad thoughts. If the empire was strong, it would be nothing, but now when chaos arises, it might be the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Therefore, no one here expected such a news.
Wang Zhong said that when the emperor proposed this matter, he was opposed by many ministers. However, the emperor was determined and insisted on doing his own thing. The decree made many ministers confused and felt even more depressed.
Although everyone in the hall was unfamiliar with the emperor's behavior, it was already like this. None of the great men far away in the imperial capital could do anything, let alone them.
Moreover, for many people, this will makes them very happy, such as Guo Qu, who has defected to Jiang Ji.
With Jiang Ji in power, Chen Lei will no longer be a hindrance and will even be kicked out soon.
Although Fu Weiji of the Kingdom had previously shown goodwill to the King of Qin, his relationship with the King of Qin was extremely cold and the King of Qin would not trust him at all.
But Guo Qu had no choice but to defeat Bao. There is no doubt that after tomorrow, he would be more than ten thousand people in Qin.
Maybe one day, the King of Qin will become a great treasure. As a minister of the dragon, his status will rise and he will even be granted a title of marquis and generals.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand Guo Qu's excitement at this moment, and he poured bowls of wine into his stomach as if he didn't have any money.
In contrast, after learning about the decree brought by Wang Zhong, Chen Lei was at first unbelievable, and then his face pale. How could he not know what Guo Qu could think of?
In addition to some of the actions that had given the Qin King an excuse to attack, Chen Lei felt that if he was the King of Qin, his position as prime minister would definitely be gone.
There are also many times before, openly and secretly, and maybe not only does the official position be lost, but his life is also in danger, only in the mind of the King of Qin.
Looking at the many people who were around me in the past, now they were far away from me, and seeing that they were seeing the plague god, fearing that they would be implicated, Chen Lei felt even colder in his limbs and his heart was cold.
I don't want to die, I can't just sit there and wait for death. Why not wait and find an excuse to leave and then hang a seal. As long as Qin State is out of Qin, the King of Qin will not be able to chase me by chance.
Having made up his mind, Chen Lei's face was still very ugly, and he seemed to have accepted his ending.
Wei Ji was drinking alone, neither excited nor worried, but he couldn't help feeling a little lost in his heart.
If he could get along well with the King of Qin at the beginning, instead of being cold to the King of Qin because of family affairs, maybe he, as a tutor in the country, could be upgraded to the Grand Tutor in the future, and would be extremely honorable, rather than being like an outsider like now.
If you plant melons, you will get melons. Since this is the case, don’t force it.
While talking to the others, Jiang Ji observed the reactions of everyone in the hall, and secretly planned how to treat the people under his command.
As usual, it is naturally to eliminate all those who oppose themselves, to replace all the high-ranking officials in Qin with their own people, and then to completely control Qin.
However, Jiang Ji's subordinates have few people who can trust. If they change to some candids, it will be a bad thing. And being too anxious would be a bit ugly, which is not conducive to accumulating fame. Therefore, Jiang Ji plans to take his time.
I happened to have some plans before, but because they were not justified and difficult to implement, I originally planned to take it slowly, but now I don’t have these concerns.
First of all, Jiang Ji did not intend to dismiss Chen Lei immediately. After all, the things Chen Lei did now are not enough to get rid of him. If the reputation is not right, the words will be unsatisfactory.
Moreover, Chen Lei has cultivated many gangs in Qin over the years. If he is forced too much, he will inevitably be anxious. After all, the rabbit will bite people when it is anxious, let alone Chen Lei.
Secondly, make good friends with Wei Ji, show your tolerance, and ease your relationship with the Wei family so as not to make trouble behind the scenes. Maybe he can even create a story about master and apprentice turning war into jade.
Then, add a seal to Guo Qu, so that his superficial status can be improved and serve as a role model for other people who want to serve.
At the same time, with Bai Yan as the core and other confidants as the team, they gradually controlled all the troops within the Qin State.
In troubled times, only the army is the confidence.
The most important thing is to integrate the families of all sizes and families within Qin, at least make them obedient, and based on this, they can help the people in Qin, and adopt various methods such as labor-for-relief to solve the disaster-stricken people in Qin.
You can also take this opportunity to recruit young and strong people, lay off old and weak troops, and purify military discipline.
If everything goes well, Qin's national strength will increase significantly. Even if it is operated properly, it can attract refugees outside Qin to settle down and increase the population rapidly. After all, war is to fight an economy, and in this era, population can create an economy.
The various knowledge in my mind will soon come in handy, slowly farming and developing, waiting for the arrival of the time in Wang Hui's mouth.
