Li Si laughed nonchalantly, then raised his eyebrows at Ying Yuan and said with a smile.

"Why are you so modest, sir?"

"During the court meeting today, I was still wondering how Bai Chun got the courage to bet with Chun Yuyue!"

"Now it seems that it's not Bai Chun who is brave, it's just that the young master is very resourceful!"

"Young Master has a good way of making money, and I am convinced!"

"Your Excellency can actually make something like toilet paper, which not only benefits the people but also brings fame and fortune. I admire you so much!"

As soon as Li Si said this, Ying Yuan's expression changed instantly.

Damn it, how the hell can I admit this?
You can’t do that even if you kill me!

Immediately, Ying Yuan issued three consecutive denials.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't, it wasn't me!"

"The one who invented toilet paper was Princess Honglian, and the one who sold it was Bai Chun, just for the relief of refugees!"

"Li Xiang, you can't frame me!"

My goodness, when Ying Yuan said this, those who knew that the two of them were discussing money would think that Li Si was framing Gongzi Yuan, while those who didn't would think that Li Si was framing Gongzi Yuan.

But Ying Yuan was also frightened at this moment.

Damn it!

This old fox's eyes are so poisonous!

"Since you deny this, I will just follow your words!"

"After all, as a minister, if even you, my lord, don't believe me, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

"So, all the doubts I had before now seem to be nothing but unnecessary worries!"

"For example, after reading the daily records, I learned that Master Hu Hai had never met Princess Honglian, but rumors about the two of them spread among the people!"

"For example, Princess Honglian didn't even have a quota for paper, but Princess Jiuhan was able to develop something that benefits the people in just a few days."

"For example, Mingchun and Princess Honglian have never met before, but they were able to gain trust and sell this toilet paper!"

"Tsk tsk, although I don't understand these things, this does not prevent me from believing what you just said!"

What Li Si said was so sincere and so nonchalant.

But having said this, he suddenly changed the subject and said something seemingly insignificant.

"Oh, by the way, I have a small matter to deal with, and I hope you can lend a hand!"

Ying Yuan, who was sitting opposite Li Si, couldn't hold back his expression at this moment!
Damn it!

Being called an old fox and being recognized as an old fox, there is indeed some truth to it.

They say there are only wrong names but no wrong nicknames!

He is recognized as an old fox by the court, and he is also an old minister who accompanied his father to conquer the world. It would be strange if he could be an easy person to deal with!

Look at what he just said, it's true that he trusts me, but then he turns around and says he doesn't care and points out all his flaws.

It really is a threat to people in a subtle way!

Chen Ping, who was standing aside, was also somewhat unable to keep a straight face.

Although, he is undoubtedly a direct descendant of Gongzi Yuan.

However, it is quite amusing to see that even though one's own son is usually sarcastic to others, he occasionally suffers a setback.

Moreover, he knew very well that since Prime Minister Li dared to come to him openly, the demands he made would definitely not be excessive.

At most, the young master will feel uncomfortable and painful, but it is not that easy to die!

"Uh, Li Xiang, hey, what you said is a bit polite, isn't it?"

"What do you mean by helping or not helping? As the saying goes, the ruler and his subjects are one. My business is your business, and your business is naturally the business of the entire Qin Dynasty!"

"Well, just tell me, I will definitely help you!"

Even though he had gnashed his teeth and cursed Li Si a thousand times, he still had to save face.

But no one would have thought that this time it would be Li Si's turn to "attack the center of the army directly."

"In that case, then I will not be vague. I just want to borrow some money from you, young master!" As soon as these words came out, Ying Yuan suddenly realized.

He just said it!

This old fox shouted something like "May wealth and prosperity come to you" and "Congratulations on your prosperity" as soon as he entered the door today!

Now it seems that he came here for this matter!

However, although Ying Yuan didn't care about Li Si's threat just now, Li Si was still the prime minister after all.

He has already spoken, so as the prince regent, can't Ying Yuan even give him this little face?
That's a bit hard to explain!

"Prime Minister Li, how much do you want and what is it for?"

"I have to know these things, right?"

Logically speaking, this is the most basic question, and it is something you should know.

But in the end, when this question came out, Li Si actually showed a slightly embarrassed expression for the first time.

This surprised Ying Yuan.

What the hell?

Li Si?

embarrassment?

What a joke!
Which old minister like Li Si is not an old thief who swallows the insult?

That face can be used as a city wall, how can it be embarrassing!
What on earth is this for?
However, at this time Li Si finally spoke hesitantly.

"Sir... the sweet potatoes you asked me to plant earlier are probably ripe now!"

"But you requested that the first sowing be done during the spring ploughing!"

"The wages are also divided into different types. This old minister... uh, it's a bit difficult!"

Are the sweet potatoes ripening?

Upon hearing this, Ying Yuan and Chen Ping stood up instantly.

"Does Prime Minister Li really mean this?"

Chen Ping couldn't help but ask.

At this moment, Chen Ping no longer cared about official rules and court etiquette.

As for Ying Yuan, he no longer cared about etiquette or rules at this moment.

In their eyes, there is only one thing they care about at this moment!

"really!"

"I guarantee it with my life!"

Li Si's words were so decisive.

For a person who believes in power and is afraid of death to say such words, it shows how confident he is.

And Li Si was also excited at this moment!

Because Li Si has a share in this great achievement!

After finishing his official duties every day, he would run to the small vegetable garden to take care of and observe it, and he never slacked off in his duties.

Even if the weather was slightly wrong, whether it was windy, rainy, or sunny, he would always go to check carefully.

In his eyes, this is not only a great achievement, but also the immortal food that carries the livelihood of the empire for the next thousand years!
And Ying Yuan no longer cared about anything else at this moment.

It really is a good thing produced by the system.

He matured so quickly!
Now it seems that this kind of grain is indeed reliable.

With such a big and good thing happening ahead, all the money and no money can be put aside.

As long as the sweet potato issue can be resolved, what does money matter?

And Li Si is now asking for money for this matter?
Well, Li Xiang is indeed the humerus of my Great Qin! (End of this chapter)
