Chapter 240 King Wei in Action
Chapter 240 King Wei in Action
You can kill someone who's obsessed with money, but you can't take their money.
More importantly, King Wei has lost his throne, and now the only thing that gives him an edge over others is a strange sense of pride and superiority in his heart.
They felt like royalty, that they were different from ordinary people, and that they were much better than those peasants.
But now, Tang Yu has even taken away that last bit of superiority from him.
That would have been the death of him.
With his blood rushing to his head, he couldn't care less about anything else now.
He now only wants to fight Tang Yu to the death, to perish together.
Even if you are the greatest warrior in Qin, so what?
Even if you're a god, so what?
I'll still kill you!
If the King of Wei were to actually take his sword and go out at this moment, it would surely ignite a stirring background music.
But the scene was completely silent.
The attendants around him watched King Wei nervously.
They weren't worried that the King of Wei would go up and die, but rather that if the King of Wei died, it would definitely implicate them, and none of them would be able to escape.
"Your Majesty, we must not act rashly. If we wish to deal with Tang Yu, we need to plan carefully."
Looking at the attendants beside him, King Wei gritted his teeth.
"There's no such thing as taking it slow. This time, I'll kill that damned Tang Yu right now."
"Anyway, I have nothing left to lose. Whether it's money, status, reputation, or even my last shred of dignity, it has all been plundered by Tang Yu."
"What do I have left to lose now?"
"Tomorrow will be the day of Tang Yu's death!"
After saying this, King Wei ignored the others' attempts to stop him, turned around and left, while at the same time he began to plan an assassination of Tang Yu.
Although he deeply disliked and resented Tang Yu, the King of Wei still acknowledged Tang Yu's martial prowess.
……
"A-choo, A-choo!"
Who's been talking about me all day long?
Tang Yu rubbed his nose, looking down with a somewhat blank expression.
I just felt someone was talking about me, but I don't have a cold, so why did I suddenly start sneezing?
But then I thought, there probably won't be anyone there in the future.
After all, he had just solved a huge problem for the Qin state, and the Mohist school had been subdued. The Qin state was now as stable as it could possibly be.
For Zheng Ge, this was an unprecedented and unparalleled golden age of the Qin Dynasty, and he shouldn't say anything about himself under any circumstances.
As for that old man Wang Jian, Tang Yu was well aware of his situation; he knew that Wang Jian would definitely give his full support in this matter.
With Wang Jian's help, once some related things are invented, their promotion and implementation would be exceptionally simple.
As the saying goes, having connections in the court makes things easier. With Wang Jian suppressing the rebellion, the Qin Dynasty was able to avoid any major disturbances.
But how exactly should I carry out this poverty alleviation plan?
How should these 2.3 billion taels be used?
Tang Yu's mind is capable of coming up with ideas because he can draw on the principles and methods of later generations, and he also has the help of a systematic approach.
However, if he were to actually solve problems on his own and rely on his brain to handle things, he might struggle to think things through.
After all, he was just an ordinary person in his previous life.
"My head is so big, so big."
As Tang Yu delved deeper into how to solve the problem, he felt somewhat troubled.
In theory, this is indeed a very simple task.
However, while it is theoretically simple, it is only true for those who are knowledgeable and skilled in the field.
For someone like me, this thing is still quite complicated.
Any matter involving a single dollar can amount to hundreds of millions of dollars when it comes to the people of the whole country.
It's a matter of hundreds of millions, but when it's distributed among each person, it's just a matter of a few dollars.
So Tang Yu is really not a good person to deal with.
As he pondered deeply, he realized that he had unknowingly wandered back to his doorstep in Xianyang City.
Looking at the empty house, Tang Yu smiled.
Oh right, how could I forget that there seems to be a big shot living in my house?
Tang Yu suddenly remembered that Xiao He was still living in his house.
And isn't this exactly what Xiao He excels at?
Whether it was strategic planning, overall coordination, or various logistical support and domestic affairs, Xiao He was undoubtedly a genius throughout history.
Wasn't this event tailor-made for Xiao He?
After thinking about this, Tang Yu had a brilliant idea, or rather, a new way to kill two birds with one stone.
After all, Xiao He can now be considered one of Xiang Yu's men in a certain sense.
If I were to give Xiao He an important position, or a profession that Xiang Yu values...
Then Xiang Yu will definitely take action again!
Thinking about this, Tang Yu couldn't hold back anymore.
My dear older brother is really suffering.
Getting ripped off here today and there tomorrow, he's practically a complete sucker.
……
"Xiao He, you're back."
Tang Yu stayed home, slacking off while waiting for Xiao He and the others to return.
Because Lü Zhi's shop had just opened, she was extremely busy with business, so she returned home even later than Xiao He.
As for Fan Kuai, he hardly ever went home, seemingly blinded by the beauties of Xianyang.
Xiao He was the only one who went to read to Xiang Yu every day and would then return, leading an unusually regular life.
"Xiao He greets the Imperial Preceptor."
When Xiao He saw Tang Yu waiting, he immediately bowed.
Tang Yu waved his hand.
"Alright, no need for formalities. I've called you here today because I have something important to discuss with you."
Hearing Tang Yu's question, Xiao He thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.
"Could it be that the Imperial Preceptor summoned me because of that recent matter?"
Hearing the other party's question, Tang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"Of course, otherwise why would I bother to seek out a great talent like you?"
Hearing Tang Yu praise his talent again, Xiao He became even more excited.
He always felt happier than if he had eaten candy whenever he received Tang Yu's recognition and praise.
However, he then said seriously:
"Your Excellency, this matter is of great importance. Unless there are special circumstances, it would be best if Your Excellency took charge of it personally."
"After all, this involves all the poor people in the entire Qin state. If something unexpected happens, Xiao He cannot bear the responsibility."
Xiao He's cautious demeanor naturally caught Tang Yu's eye.
Tang Yu also let out a long sigh.
Yes, it's a very important matter.
But is Tang Yu capable of shouldering this responsibility right now?
No matter how outstanding or powerful Tang Yu is in this era, he is still just an ordinary person who transmigrated here.
Although he has a lot of foresight and wisdom, his talent and ability in this area are definitely not as good as Xiao He's, so it would be better to entrust the task to Xiao He.
