Bai Chun originally thought that if his "good plan" didn't get a standing ovation, it would at least attract a few more glances.
Unexpectedly, after he finished saying this, there was silence in the Qilin Hall at first, and then a few faint laughs were heard.
Don't blame these people.
If they hadn't given some face to Bai Chun because he was promoted by Gongzi Yuan and this was his first time to give advice, they would have probably started scolding him on the spot.
You know, if you step on a few more colleagues to death, you will have more chances, right?
In their opinion, Bai Chun's advice just now was simply a joke!
But other court officials gave face to Gongzi Yuan and Bai Chun, but Chunyu Yue, who was petty-minded, would not miss such an opportunity.
Didn’t Bai Chun ask him to clean the toilet before?
Humph, he has to let people know what being powerful means!
"Oh! What nonsense! It's nothing but empty talk!"
"Bai Chun, you are a civil official. If you were a military general, I'm afraid that my Great Qin would have another Zhao Kuo!"
When Shusun Tong heard Chunyu Yue's words, his face turned pale and he quickly pulled the other's sleeve.
But Chunyu Yue was enjoying himself at the moment and had no time to care about these things.
He simply ignored Shusun Tong's pull and stood up and spoke.
"Bai Chun, what's the difference between the strategy you just mentioned and what Feng Jie said before?"
"It seems like one is farming and the other is building roads, but in reality, isn't it Daqin that is providing the money and food?"
"What about the money?"
"Humph, a mere young boy is lucky enough to be promoted. Even if he enters the court, he will only talk nonsense!"
Chunyu Yue spoke louder and louder, and by the end he was extremely passionate.
If you don’t know, you might think this is what it means.
However, Chunyu Yue's words really made many court officials nod their heads secretly.
Why did Bai Chun's suggestion just now make people laugh?
Because of this, it looks really good.
Every year, the Qin Dynasty spent a large amount of money and grain on these public expenditures.
If building roads could help to attract refugees, that would be great.
Even road construction involves various jobs, and as long as the refugees are still able to move, they can find a suitable job.
But the problem is... the current situation is that the Qin treasury is so empty that only rats can escape.
Where does the money come from to start new road construction projects?
But if there is no real project, doesn't that mean Bai Chun is just talking in vain?
But facing the aggressive Chunyu Yue and the court officials who laughed out loud, Bai Chun just smiled as if he didn't hear anything.
Are you kidding? When has Bai Chun ever cared about his face?
This thing is useless. If anyone wants it, he will definitely sell it immediately.
Therefore, he did not answer Chunyu Yue's question at all, but instead challenged him on the spot with a smile.
"Oh! Dr. Chunyu really cares about Shangguan!"
"It's just that Zhao Kuo, who talks about war on paper, is more suspicious of me than Bai Chun, who slanders his superiors!"
When Bai Chun said this, Chunyu Yue's face almost turned green.
Damn!
I forgot that the guy opposite me was not an ordinary courtier at all.
He just openly arranged the job of 'toilet cleaning' for himself. If he continues to offend me, I'm afraid he will have to clean the toilet.
Thinking of this, Chunyu Yue quickly bowed.
"Please forgive me, Lord Bai. I was concerned about Da Qin just now, so there were some mistakes in my words. I hope Lord Bai will forgive me!"
Chunyu Yue couldn't help but bow his head. In the officialdom, the most taboo thing is to commit crimes against your superiors.
No matter how powerful you are or how big the hatred is, you can hide aside and plot, or you can find a way to kill someone.
But you can’t do this.
Because if you do that, you will offend all the officials.
It was precisely because he knew that he had been arrogant just now that he quickly tried to make up for it.
It’s also thanks to his good words, otherwise Bai Chun would have to continue.
They say a biting dog doesn't bark, but a mad dog not only bites and barks, but also holds on tightly and refuses to let go.
As luck would have it, Bai Chun thought that he was somewhat of a mad dog in his daily life.
If Chunyu Yue runs slower, Bai Chun will find an opportunity to bite Old Deng to death!
But before Bai Chun could say anything, Li Si unexpectedly appeared.
"My Lord, please allow me to report this to you. In my opinion, Bai Chun, as the academic supervisor, has a commendable heart for serving the country, and his advice is indeed worthy of praise."
"It's understandable that he, a mere school supervisor, doesn't quite understand the difficulties facing the national treasury!"
"Why not keep this plan in mind for now? If financial resources become more relaxed in the future, you can give it a try!"
Good guy!
When Li Si said this, many people almost cursed out loud on the spot.
Pooh!
An old fox!
It seems impartial, but what about the reality?
The left one has a commendable desire to serve the country, while the right one is understandably not very clear about the situation!
So this means it’s okay to say something wrong, but it’s good to say it boldly?
To put it bluntly, isn't this just to support the younger generation of one's own master?
Many young officials who were already envious of Bai Chun's rapid rise to prominence were almost heartbroken when they saw this scene.
Why is it that none of their fellow disciples has a father who is the prime minister?
It’s so uncomfortable!
But sometimes, I have to say, some people are really stubborn!
"Prime Minister Li is too biased!"
"What we just discussed was the issue of refugees. Can't we tell at a glance whether this advice is acceptable?"
"Why is it excusable when it comes to Li Xiang?"
When Chunyu Yue said this, not only the court officials, but even Ying Yuan looked at him in surprise.
Mother!
So brave!
Wow, how many years has it been?
How many years has it been since I last saw this kind of scene?
Challenge Prime Minister Li Si on the spot!
Brave!
So brave!
I just don’t know how it will end?
Anyway, according to Ying Yuan's impression, it seems that Prime Minister Li is not a generous person.
Look, Li Si just glanced at Chunyu Yue and then he was indifferent.
"The issue of refugees is certainly important, but what's wrong with keeping this policy and considering its use later when the fiscal revenue is sufficient?"
"It's fine if Dr. Chunyu is short-sighted, but he's also so angry. He's holding a grudge!"
"It seems that I need to give more consideration to the evaluation of officials after Dr. Chunyu!"
it is good!
Very good!
Li Si's words instantly led to the decisive victory!
It is equivalent to pointing at Chunyu Yue's nose and saying clearly that as long as Li Si is alive, you, Chunyu Yue, should forget about promotion!
Chunyu Yue's face turned pale at this moment!
its not right!
Li Si was clearly the prime minister, so how could he attack me on the spot without showing any manners?
Just when Chunyu Yue wanted to explain himself, Bai Chun suddenly bowed to Li Si and said with a smile.
"Bai Chun thanks Li Xiang for your compliment!"
"But I still want to explain that I have some objections to what Dr. Chunyu just said about the Qin Dynasty not having the money to build roads!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over immediately.
Rich? (End of this chapter)
