LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 85: Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize
After Zhao Lang finished speaking, the whole room became quiet.
After waiting for a while, no one spoke.
Several people in the room just stared at Zhao Lang.
Zhao Lang was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the identity of the head of the peasant family is so worthless?
Anyway, give me some reaction!
Zhao Lang tentatively shouted,
"Father?"
Qin Shihuang just woke up from a dream, and asked with a trembling voice in his 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 identity of the head of the farm family was worthless, but that several people were stunned.
So he took out the jade badge of his identity as the head of the farm family, and said again,
"Father, I am now the head of the farm."
Of course, Zhao Lang did not reveal the fact that he only has three or five subordinates.
Seeing the jade card in Zhao Lang's hand, Wang Jian and Li Si both looked at each other.
Found the shock in the other party's eyes.
One of them is the head of the military family, and the other is the head of the legal family.
They all have the means to identify each family's token.
This is a tacit understanding among the various schools of thought.
In Zhao Lang's hands, it is indeed the token of the head of the peasant family!
But this shocked them even more!
Wang Jian never imagined how Zhao Lang could become the head of the farming family under his own eyes.
At this time, Qin Shihuang was in a turmoil and didn't know what to do.
He has been decisive in killing all his life. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation!
The peasant family seems to be the less prominent family among the hundreds of families.
But Qin Shi Huang, who was the emperor, also knew that the farm family contained great power.
He also always wanted to subdue the peasant family.
It's a pity that the farmers of the world were slandered by the nobles of the Six Nations, as well as various other reasons.
At this time, I don't have a good impression of the royal family.
If Zhao Lang restores his status as a prince, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain his status as the head of the peasant family.
This is almost a once-in-a-lifetime.
Qin Shi Huang was in a dilemma for a while.
Seeing that Qin Shihuang was distracted again, Zhao Lang shouted helplessly,
"Father?"
Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor of China after all. He exhaled slowly, he already had a decision in his heart, and said,
"Lang'er, this is a bit sudden, it's because Dad lost his temper."
"But you have done a good job in this matter. It is very helpful to our great cause!"
"Whatever you want, just say it!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao, who was stunned at the side, knew that Qin Shihuang didn't plan to tell Zhao Lang his identity today.
Hearing this, Zhao Lang grinned, knowing that his plan was successful.
And he did ask for it, saying,
"Father, that, I need some money."
"Money?"
Qin Shi Huang was slightly surprised and said,
"Didn't someone just give you 10,000 taels of gold a few days ago?"
Zhao Lang nodded with a bit of embarrassment. 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 Gongzi Gao's place.
Well, it's almost all spent.
"Father, I am the head of the family anyway, with so many people."
"The cost is a bit bigger."
Qin Shihuang was dumbfounded, is this too big?
You are simply a gold-swallowing beast!
Of course, the things Zhao Lang has given him are priceless treasures.
But even if he was rich, he couldn't bear to spend like this.
Seeing the cheap old man like this, Zhao Lang said quickly,
"Dad, 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 he said,
"It's okay, Dad knows you're not a spendthrift. In a few days, I'll send you another 20,000 taels of gold."
When Zhao Lang heard this, there was nothing else to say, just look at the atmosphere.
Most importantly, it represents a great deal of trust.
Zhao Lang immediately flattered him and said,
"Father, when our great cause is completed in the future, you will become the emperor, and you will definitely be the best emperor through the ages!"
Hearing his son's flattery, Qin Shihuang felt extremely relieved, but he quickly asked with a smile,
"Didn't you say before that the current first emperor is the first emperor through the ages?"
Zhao Lang was stunned for a moment, forgetting that the flattery had already been used.
But he said,
"It's true that the current First Emperor is the first emperor, but he is not without shortcomings."
Qin Shi Huang immediately raised his brows and said,
"Last time, you only talked about the merits of the First Emperor. This time, you can talk about the shortcomings. Let's see if we can find the other side's flaws."
Hearing this, the rest of the people instantly became nervous.
No one is perfect, Qin Shihuang is not without flaws, but he dares to say it in front of Qin Shihuang.
hardly!
However, Zhao Lang didn't realize it.
"Father, it's not bad that the First Emperor is brilliant, but he also has shortcomings that ordinary people have."
"I'll just say two things, and you'll know."
"Build Epang Palace, Lishan Tomb."
"These two things have hurt the people and money, and hurt the hearts of the people very much."
Hearing these two words, Qin Shihuang's heart sank slightly, but he said calmly on his face,
"Lang'er, you also said that the first emperor is the first emperor through the ages, isn't he worthy of these two residences?"
In these two places, one is for the life and the other is for the after-death. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
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 Daqin, and the consumption is countless!"
"It is necessary to repair the Great Wall and maintain the straight road. These are all projects that consume a lot of money."
"The people have long been exhausted."
Zhao Lang also learned about these situations through farmers from all over the world.
Zhao Lang went on to say,
"Of course, these are all necessary projects, and it can be said that the benefits are in the future!"
This is not touted by Zhao Lang. Just look at Qin Zhidao. It is no exaggeration to say that later generations have been using it for nearly a thousand years.
"But it's also in the present moment."
"So relatively, these two residences are not that important."
Qin Shi Huang immediately frowned and said,
"I heard that the construction of these two places was built with the property of the six countries."
"The common people are only doing corvée according to the regulations."
Hearing this, Zhao Lang immediately laughed.
"Father, how can you still have such an idea when you travel from south to north?"
"I don't know what the First Emperor ordered, but what will the officials and petty officials below do, don't you know?"
"Furthermore, many places are now controlled by the nobles of the Six Nations. The First Emperor took the money from them, wouldn't they take it back from the common people?"
"If things go on like this, people's grievances will 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 and capsize it."
Hearing these words, Qin Shi Huang only felt that Hong Zhong Dalu sounded in his mind! Deafening!
And the few people next to him were even more horrified!
