Salt, grain, books, and iron, these four things are the lifeblood of the country, and the court must firmly control them.

Therefore, while Xiao Shota suggested supporting business, he did not let the court delegate power.

The salt mines and production rights are both in hand. If any salt dealer wants to take advantage of the situation and raise or lower prices arbitrarily, affecting the entire industry, the court can sanction him at any time!

"Okay! That's it!"

After learning the entire plan, Ying Zheng immediately agreed.

In the morning of the next day, Ying Zheng deliberately speeded up the process. After simply handling the government affairs, he asked Xiao Zhengtai to take them to harvest potatoes.

The princes and ministers all followed behind Xiao Zhengtai and Ying Zheng.

"Feiyu, where did you plant the potatoes?"

The farther Ying Zheng walked, the more he felt something was wrong. Going further forward would be his zoo of rare animals.

This is where he raises precious animals that are sent as tribute from various countries.

Some animals can chirp and their feces have a smell, so they are placed in a corner of the palace. When you are in a good mood, you can hang around here!

"just in front!"

Little Shota still moved her calves upside down and continued to move forward.

Within two steps, we arrived at the Zoo, but now the plaque had been replaced by "Cultivation Base" by Shota!

"Your Majesty, young master!"

The guard guarding the door bowed his hands.

They were no strangers to Little Shota, and this little figure would come here for a spin every now and then.

"Why was my zoo of rare animals changed into a breeding base?"

After seeing the plaque, Ying Zheng suddenly had a bad feeling.

The guard suddenly raised his head, met a pair of gloomy and cold eyes, and said in a panic: "Yes... it's the young master! The young master said that the things inside are beneficial to the country and the people, and need to be kept properly!"

"Get away!"

Ying Zheng pushed away the guards and broke into the training base.

The hills inside are still there, but all the artificial forests have been destroyed and turned into rows of strange plants.

All the rare and exotic animals that were running around have disappeared!

"Humph! Now it's better, that boy is so good-looking!"

"No, now we don't need to impeach him, Your Majesty will also deal with the young master!"

"If I had known why we would have to go to so much trouble...!"

When Li Si and others saw this scene, they naturally understood what happened.

This guy must have taken over His Majesty's zoo and planted potatoes instead!

Although potatoes benefit the country and the people, there is so much land in the Qin Dynasty that it is not good to plant them in any place, so they must be planted in the rare animal garden.

Zhang Han also frowned, worried about Xiao Zhengtai!

Rather than planting them here, it would be better to give those potatoes to you and plant them outside the palace.

It's a good thing now. It's light to destroy the zoo and get a scolding.

Wang Ben also secretly thought that something was wrong, and his brain was racing, trying to come up with an excuse to excuse the young lady.

But he is an upright person and doesn't have so many twists and turns in his mind. How can he come up with any good ideas?

"Where is my saiga?"

Ying Zheng walked around quickly and didn't find any animals. He immediately became angry and found Xiao Zhengtai to question him sternly.

"Didn't Father taste the roasted leg of lamb?"

Little Shota raised her little head, showing a very innocent expression.

"What? The roasted leg of lamb I ate was made from the saiga antelope that you brought as tribute from Wusun?"

Ying Zheng couldn't believe his ears.

There are so many sheep in Daqin, who would have thought that this guy would use precious saiga antelopes to make roasted lamb legs?

All the ministers present were astonished. They used precious antelopes as tribute from foreign countries to roast lamb legs. He was really like no one else!

Li Si, Zhao Cheng and others had smiles on their faces.

Wang Ben, Meng Yi, and Zhang Han closed their eyes in disappointment.

No one can save him now!

"What about my woolly rhinoceros?"

"What a woolly rhinoceros, it's a yak, just the slices of meat you eat when making hotpot!"

Xiao Zhengtai shrugged his shoulders with a calm expression.

"That's the tribute from the Qiang people!"

Ying Zheng's heart bleeds when he learns that the woolly rhinoceros has been eaten.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and continued to ask, "Where is my antelope?"

"Fried Chicken Butt, Your Majesty, do you still remember?"

"you you……"

Ying Zheng trembled with anger, "You traitor!"

Wang Ben and others had turned their heads in despair, not daring to look directly.

The attitude of Li Si and others was completely opposite, and the smiles on their faces were even bigger!

It is a serious crime to kill the rare animals that are paid tribute by various countries without permission!

If the other countries are informed, Bao Buqi will send troops to investigate. If he cannot give a reasonable reason, he will be regarded as contempt of the other countries, and he may be attacked by a group!

"Father, I didn't eat all of them either. I only ate one of each kind and let the rest go!"

Little Shota still didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, she still straightened her back and said it as a matter of course.

"What? Let it go? If other countries find out, how should I respond?"

Ying Zheng was already furious, his face turned red with anger.

If it hadn't been for the many contributions made by Xiao Zhengtai, just changing the name of the zoo would have been enough to beheaded, not to mention eating all the precious animals here!

"My son, I released all those animals just for the sake of the Qin Dynasty!"

"Young master, please stop looking for excuses and let go of the animals. How should we respond when envoys from various countries come to visit and want to see their countries' animals?"

"Yes, if we can't get those woolly rhinos and antelopes, it will be troublesome for all the countries to unite to deal with Da Qin!"

"Young Master, there is nothing wrong with what you want to eat, but you want to eat rare animals that are sent as tribute from various countries...!"

Li Si, Zhao Cheng and others saw the opportunity and quickly added insult to injury.

"Your Majesty, the young master is young and playful. I hope your majesty will forgive the young master for the sake of his past achievements!"

This was the only excuse Wang Ben could come up with after racking his brains.

Just make up for the past!

"Yes, young master, quickly admit your mistake to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely forgive you!"

Meng Yi also quickly persuaded.

"My master is right, why should I admit my mistake...?"

Xiao Zhengtai looked dissatisfied and pouted and said: "May I ask my father, when other countries sent those animals, did we also send them some animals that their countries did not have?"

"That's right!"

Ying Zheng put his hands on his hips, his chest rising and falling, and replied angrily.

"That's right! Due to the different living habits of various animals, the species are not widely distributed. Countries gave Da Qin some of their unique animals and took away our native animals, not for mutual appreciation, but for breeding!"

"My father keeps these animals in the palace all day long. Not only does it consume manpower and material resources to raise them, but the reproduction speed is also very slow. Without the natural environment, even if they reproduce, their survival ability is extremely weak, and there is no way to increase the number of species.

role!”

"I will release them into nature so that they can interbreed with the existing animals in Da Qin, add new species, and also allow them to adapt to Da Qin's natural environment!"
