241. Chapter 241: That man who watched a good show](2/2)

"promise."

Zhao Gao, who was standing next to Ying Zheng, heard the words and quickly accepted the promise and retreated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ying Zheng was not idle and discussed the patriotic lottery with Meng Yi.

"Meng Yi, tell me, what exactly is this patriotic lottery?"

As Ying Zheng's question was raised, the eyes of all the ministers fell on Meng Yi.

Meng Yi kept his eyes straight and respectfully reported to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, according to my investigation, this patriotic lottery is a kind of leisure and entertainment thing. Each person can buy one lottery ticket based on the test, and it is extremely cheap.

Just one and a half taels;

After you buy the lottery ticket, you have to wait for the lottery draw. Once you win, you will get a reward of one hundred yin!"

"oh?"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested. He couldn't help but ask: "How do you make people believe in such an incredible good thing, and how do you determine whether you have won the lottery?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Wang Wan is selling it in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with the imperial court as a guarantee. Naturally, everyone believes it. As for how to determine whether he has won the lottery, this is relatively simple;

Because there is a series of numbers on each lottery ticket, and if the number matches the drawn number, you will win!”

"I see, it's quite novel."

Ying Zheng suddenly nodded, smiled and touched his beard.

The other ministers also nodded, seeming to understand.

But Meng Yi continued: "Actually, this patriotic lottery has two ways of playing, fast and slow. One is to draw the prize the next day, with a prize of up to a hundred yi gold, and the other is to draw the prize after seven days, with a maximum prize of a thousand yi gold;

It’s just that the lottery tickets drawn after seven days are a bit more expensive, costing two and a half taels!”

Wow!

The whole place was in an uproar.

Some people looked surprised and in disbelief.

Some people were enlightened and looked very interested.

And more people don't understand, and even think Wang Wan is crazy.

It’s stupid enough to make someone earn a hundred yijin with one and a half taels, but there is also a person who can make a thousand yijin with two and a half taels!?

Isn't this crazy?

Still using the imperial court as a guarantee?

Damn it, you really treat it as public money, not money!

Not only the officials could not sit still, but also Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, could not sit still.

He did not blame Wang Wan for this incident, but pointed directly at the 'culprit'.

What the hell is that country rat doing?

Is it possible that because I don’t give him a portrait, my treasury will be emptied?

This is simply unreasonable!

With a feeling of indignation in his heart, Ying Zheng was determined not to let the 'local rat' ruin his treasury, so he urged with an eager look: "Quick! Send more people to find Wang Wan for me, hurry!"

Is this old boy really crazy?

How come you have no brainer to believe that traitor?

He now regrets letting Wang Wan go find Zhao Hao.

Moreover, he still regretted not rewarding Zhao Hao.

Hey, this traitor is not restless at all!

These are troubled times, and money is needed everywhere. Even the First Emperor is afraid of living in poverty.

After all, when people are poor and have short ambitions, the country is poor and has no bottom.

After waiting anxiously for a while, Wang Wan was reluctantly brought to the main hall by Zhao Gao.

However, as soon as Wang Wan entered the hall, he was immediately scolded angrily by several censors.

"Wang Wan! You have a high and powerful position, but you are lying dead and eating nothing. What crime should you do?!"

"Wang Wan, in today's court meeting, you didn't even complain to anyone. Are you relying on your own merits to violate the law?"

"Your Majesty, I sincerely request your Majesty to punish the king by being lawless, disobeying laws and etiquette, and disrespecting Your Majesty. These are the 18 major crimes!"

"."

Hearing a loud noise coming from his ears, Wang Wan's expression froze, and he subconsciously followed the sound, only to see each of the censors looking at him coldly, and his face darkened.

Damn it!

Is this going to change?

If you really think that I don’t show off my power, you won’t recognize me as the prime minister?

"presumptuous!"

Wang Wan shouted angrily and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, in front of your face, you dare to slander me without knowing right from wrong. Do you really think that my Qin law is not strict?"

"Hmph! The old prime minister still knows the strictness of Qin's laws, so he is not confused!" Feng Jie snorted coldly.

Wang Wan narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice: "What does Dr. Feng Yushi mean by this?"

“Governing a country should be based on the people, with the law as the root, with enriching the people as the main priority, and with solid law as the supplement. This is why the country is strong when the people are rich.”

"I don't need you to teach me how to govern the country. In terms of official rank, you are not as good as me. In terms of qualifications, not only you, but even your father Feng Quji is not qualified to teach me!"

"you"

Feng Jie's expression changed and he was about to scold Wang Wan.

But Feng Quji, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said with a smile: "Old Prime Minister, why do you need to be like this? When we discuss matters in court, we never deal with the matter and the person. How can we talk about qualifications and rank?"

"Is it possible that because of the high rank and seniority, one can act arbitrarily and ignore the law?"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers' eyes narrowed and they all looked at Wang Wan.

And Ying Zheng, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, didn't speak in a hurry.

He wanted to see how an old tiger would face being surrounded by wolves?

Although Wang Wan adopted the strategy of "retreating to advance" and presented the "Three Provinces and Six Ministries System", which dispelled his idea of ​​changing the prime minister, if Wang Wan's ability to control the ministers weakened, he did not rule out the possibility of having the idea again.

But Wang Wan looked back at Feng Quji with an expressionless face and said: "Prime Minister Zuo, just take care of your own affairs. I don't care whether you should take care of my affairs or not. Let's just talk about it."

It seems that it is also a matter of Tingwei Mansion. Could it be that Zuo Cheng even wants to interfere in the affairs of Tingwei Mansion?"

He said with a mysterious smile: "You are not Prime Minister Lu"

"you"

After hearing Wang Wan's words, Feng Quji's expression changed drastically, and all the ministers were shocked.

What a courage!

How dare you mention Lu Xiangguo in front of His Majesty?!

It’s crazy!

"Since the old prime minister mentioned my Tingwei Mansion, it seems a little unreasonable for my Tingwei Mansion not to stand up."

Seeing the Feng family father and son being forced speechless by Wang Wan, Li Si's voice suddenly rang out.

Although he and the Feng family were political enemies, Wang Wan and he were not in the same camp.

So, he stood up at the right time.

It's not that he wants to help the Feng family and his son, but he just wants to increase his sense of presence.

After all, Ying Zheng has not spoken yet, which shows that the man is watching a good show.

And he, as that man's 'humeral minister', naturally had to participate.

"Oh? Li Tingwei wants to discuss the law with me?"

Wang Wan raised her eyebrows, turned around, and looked at Li Si with an expression of indescribable amusement.

He had long wanted to have a head-on confrontation with Li Si. This time, while he was confident, he naturally wanted to have a collision.
