A few days ago, Niu Dou said the same thing, saying that he could repatriate the alchemist and give the emperor a well-organized Xianyang.

But the result is very bad.

Now he said that, but Ying Zheng no longer believed him.

Ying Zheng looked at Niu Dou and asked lightly: "What are you planning to do?"

Niu Dou said: "Repatriation of alchemists is a decree of the court. If alchemists refuse to return to their hometown, they will disobey the order. Choose a few of the top officials and kill them. The others will naturally leave obediently."

Li Shui couldn't help laughing out loud: "I heard that Brother Niu has a close relationship with Master Fusu. Unexpectedly, Brother Niu's political views are very different from Master Fusu. The prince advocates conquering people with virtue, while Brother Niu advocates punishing people with punishment. He has different political views, but he can make friends. It's really rare."

Bullfight was stunned for a moment, glanced at Fusu next to him, and said, "Yes, it is natural that you can win people with virtue."

Fusu didn't say anything, and he suddenly felt that this bullfighting seemed a little stupid. It may not be a good thing to be with him too close.

Unfortunately, Fusu planned to put aside his relationship, but Li Shui did not intend to let him go. He chased and asked, "Young Master Fusu, what are you going to deal with these alchemists? Should you kill them or lock them up?"

Fusu thought to himself: In front of his father, why don’t you call me a virtuous nephew? You call me, if you have the courage, you call me.

Faced with Li Shui's questioning, Fusu said lightly: "Whether it is to kill or pass, it is all about restoring the order in Xianyang City. If they are willing to leave, then there is no need to close it. If it is useless to lock it up, it is okay to kill one or two people."

Li Shui nodded and said, "So that's it. It seems that the opinions of Mr. Fusu and Lord Niu are coincidental."

Fusu was a little unhappy and didn't want to get along with Niu Dou, but at this time he put the blame on others, claiming that he was not familiar with Niu Dou and seemed not very kind, so he pinched his nose and accepted it.

Fusu and Niu Dou were quite lively, but Ying Zheng didn't believe them. He looked at Li Shui: "Huai Guzi, what do you think should be dealt with by the alchemist?"

Li Shui coughed dryly and said, "The alchemist in Xianyang was recruited by me. It is not fair enough to let Mr. Fu Yao say that the solution is."

Chunyu Yue and others were a little helpless: Fu Yao is your apprentice, and he obeys your words. For him... isn't that the same?

Ying Zheng also knew that this was Li Shui giving Fu Yao the opportunity to show his performance, so he smiled slightly and looked at Fu Yao.

Fu Yao said: "The reason why the alchemist is repatriated is because the alchemist is harmful to Xianyang. So what is the evidence of the alchemist riots in Xianyang?"

The courtiers said: "Isn't it evidence that dozens of petition groups in the city today, big and small?"

Fu Yao said, "That only appeared after Lord Niu Dou repatriated the alchemist. Before he was repatriated, wasn't Xianyang City in order?"

The court officials didn't say anything. Before that, it was not necessarily the order, but compared with now, there was indeed much more order.

Niu Dou lay on the ground, his body trembling slightly: Mr. Fu Yao, is this going to completely defeat me? If the alchemists did not cause chaos in Xianyang City, but I jumped up and down and advocated the repatriation of alchemists, what would I become? Am I a villain who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos?

In this way, it is not a problem of insufficient ability, but a problem of ulterior motives. Yes, by then, Huai Guzi will definitely take the opportunity to accuse me of being a rebel and make me doomed.

When I think about becoming a traitor, I feel numb from the scalp.

He said to the scalp: "I have evidence. I have seen with my own eyes that a alchemist named Hengxuan complained to Shangjun's villa. I heard with my own ears that the poor and the alchemist quarreled. I have all recorded these people and called them to ask."

Li Shui looked at Niu Dou in confusion and thought to himself: "This guy has done a lot of homework."

Ying Zheng acted as if he wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly and ordered the young eunuch to find someone according to the list.

One hour later, several alchemists and a few poor people were taken to the palace.

They were a little afraid and excited. Isn’t they petitioning everywhere these days just for this result? Can you explain the matter clearly in front of His Majesty.

They did not enter Ying Zheng's study, after all, these people were all dirty.

Ying Zheng stood on the steps and met them.

At first, the alchemists and the poor were both afraid, but they found that Li Shui was also standing among the court officials and immediately had a backbone.

The exiled immortal is a great man. He took the initiative to take them to find immortals. For the poor, the people of Guanzhong can eat and wear well, which one has not received the favor of the exiled immortals?

When Li Shui saw these people looking at him, as if he had seen his relatives, he couldn't help but feel speechless: What's going on? Why do they look like they think I'm accomplice?

Ying Zheng looked at Niu Dou and said, "You confront them."

Niu Dou looked in the crowd and clicked Hengxuan out the first one: "Friend Heng Xian, have you ever complained about the exiled immortal? He said that he brought you to Xianyang and made you in a dilemma?"

Li Shui glanced at Hengxuan with some confusion and thought to himself: "Where does this guy have this courage?"

Heng Xuan's head buzzed: It's over, I'll tell you this in front of the banished immortal, and I'm afraid I won't have the chance to enter Shangjun Villa in this life.

Hengxuan looked at Li Shui and found that Li Shui was looking at him with deep eyes.

But the Niu Dou next to him was still relentless and asked, "Is it?"

Hengxuan shouted: "Niu Dou, I am irreconcilable with you, I will fight you."

Then he rushed up, kicked Niu Dou down with one kick, punching him.

The court officials were speechless: What are the problems of these alchemists? They learned from Huaiguzi?

Ying Zheng glanced at Hengxuan lightly and said, "I am so arrogant in front of me. If you drag down someone, you will be responsible for eighty."

Hengxuan was taken down, and before leaving, he was still shouting: "Niu Dou, I am irreconcilable with you."

The bull fight was injured and was lying on the ground. This time I really couldn't stand up.

Ying Zheng looked at the poor people next to him again: "Have you ever complained, don't you want the alchemists to come to Xianyang?"

The poor looked at me, I looked at you, and then honestly said, "I have complained."

After hearing this, Bullfighting was immediately happy and excited, and said, "Your Majesty, they have really complained. I only made up my mind after hearing this and suggested that Your Majesty return the alchemist. Because the appearance of alchemist has indeed disturbed the lives of the people."

Those poor people looked like they wanted to speak but stopped.

Ying Zheng asked curiously: "Since you don't want the alchemist to stay in Xianyang, why do you petition in the city again? Isn't this a contradiction?"

The poor man stammered: "We hope that the alchemist will stay in Xianyang. The reason why we complain is because if we don't complain, how can we be embarrassed to ask the alchemist for money? Only by saying that after they arrive in Xianyang and let our lives be hard, can we sell them things at a high price with confidence."

"I'm waiting... I don't know, but some people believe it. We don't believe this kind of complaint, and the alchemist doesn't believe it either. It's just an excuse for both sides. We thought that no one would believe it, but who knows..."

The poor people talked a lot, and everyone present understood. They just said that, who knew that Niu Dou, the idiot, took it as real.

Niu Dou lay on the ground, his face sometimes red and sometimes white. Many court officials around him were laughing.

Ying Zheng was thinking: It seems that there are indeed great disadvantages to recommending talents. For example, people like Niu Dou have noble character, but what is the use? If they use it to govern the country, the world will be in chaos long ago.

Niu Dou suddenly thought of something that could bring back some dignity to himself, so he couldn't wait to say, "Xianyang Qianshou, hasn't this become treacherous? The arrival of alchemists made the treacherous people unwilling to plow the fields and craftsmen unwilling to work. Everyone is desperately learning the art of treacherous things, wanting to cheat and get money. Isn't this true?

After hearing this, the poor all showed disapproving expressions on their faces.

Ying Zheng asked, "Do you have something to say?"

Among them, one of the brave Qianshou said: "The villain cannot read and does not understand the law, but he always feels that the Qin Dynasty should not have any laws, and Qianshou can only suffer poverty."

Ying Zheng smiled: "How can there be such an inhuman law?"

Na Qianshou pointed at Niu Dou and said, "But this lord just said this."

"Before the alchemists came to Xianyang, although we could already eat and wear and wear, we might not be very rich, and we didn't have much wealth in our family."

"Fortunately, the alchemists arrived. People from all over the countryside were doing business with the alchemists, and everyone made a lot of money. A few days ago, the villain ate a meal of meat, and the taste was so wonderful."

"Now, this lord wants to drive us back to farm. The lord thinks that if that is the case, the world will be quiet and convenient for the government to manage. But this lord is dressed in a rich and frugal manner all day long, how could he know the hard work of starving?"

Niu Dou opened his mouth and was a little speechless. He asked for his life for the people all day long, but the people said, "You are harming me." How can you defend this?"

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said, "If it is more profitable to do business with alchemists, you will all come to do business. No one will plow the fields and lack of food. Once there is a famine, will you starve to death?"

Those Guizhou heads were speechless, and they couldn't understand such things and couldn't answer them.

After a long time, the Qianshou whispered: "This kind of big event is something the court considers. We humble people like us just want to survive."

Li Shui sighed and said, "This people said it well. There is insufficient food and famine. That is what the court should consider. If the court did not do it well, it drove the farmers back and forced them to farm. It is really outrageous."

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned and looked at Li Shui with some confusion: "What should you do if you think?"

In Ying Zheng's opinion, hasn't this been done in all dynasties? Why is there a problem?

Li Shui said: "I suggest that grain be allowed to be traded freely. If there are fewer people farming, the price of grain will naturally rise. If the profit of growing grain is higher than doing business with alchemists, the people will naturally go back to farm."
