Chapter 195: The Great Dynasty Submits, and the Great Yin Emperor, with His astute Business Acumen
"Your Majesty, we really have no other choice!"
A minister stepped forward with a worried expression.
"Who could have imagined that a dynasty that was once similar to ours would now transform into an imperial dynasty? With our strength, going against an imperial dynasty would be suicide!"
"In my humble opinion, we should accept Qin's first option and submit directly; at least our lives will be spared..."
That minister was completely giving up and simply said he was surrendering.
"Are you asking me to abandon the legacy of my ancestors and hand over the Qingfeng Dynasty to others?"
Emperor Qingfeng was furious and said angrily.
His hands gripped the dragon throne, squeezing it so tightly that it creaked.
He was clearly furious.
"Your Majesty! Haven't you come to terms with reality yet?"
"As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Surrendering now will not only save our lives but also preserve half of our resources. If we wait for the Qin army to besiege the city, not only will the Qingfeng Dynasty belong to Qin, but our lives will also belong to Qin..."
The minister said with a sense of disappointment.
His face was full of disappointment.
"Yes! Your Majesty, if we surrender now, we can go to Xianyang and live as wealthy men. Moreover, we will then be subjects of the Imperial Dynasty, and perhaps we will obtain a higher status than we are now. Please give the order!"
Another minister stepped forward to echo this sentiment.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
More and more ministers stood up to second the motion.
Emperor Qingfeng looked at the hall full of ministers who were seconding his proposal, urging him to order the Qin Dynasty to submit to him.
He felt all his strength drain away, and he slumped onto the dragon throne, his face pale, a tear of humiliation sliding down his cheek.
After a brief pause, he weakly issued the order: "By imperial decree, to avoid further bloodshed, my Qingfeng Dynasty is willing to submit to the Great Qin. From this day forward, there will be no more Qingfeng Dynasty, only the Qingfeng Prefecture of the Great Qin..."
"Send someone to inform the Qin Dynasty and tell them to send someone to take over!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers below had different expressions upon hearing Emperor Qingfeng's command, but they all shouted that he was wise!
"All of you, step back! I want some peace and quiet!"
Emperor Qingfeng waved his hand and said weakly.
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
The ministers below also wisely withdrew.
After all the ministers had left, Emperor Qingfeng could no longer hold back and burst into tears, collapsing onto the dragon throne.
It's like a child who has been wronged.
After receiving the conditions from the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Yin Dynasty made the same choice. However, unlike Emperor Qingfeng, Emperor Da Yin readily agreed.
I wasn't really that sad.
For him, being able to retain half of the resources is already quite good.
As for what happens after the Great Yin Dynasty, that's none of his business; that's something for the Great Qin to worry about.
So, the Emperor of Dayin eagerly led his clansmen, carrying large and small bags, to Xianyang.
Upon arriving in Xianyang, he saw that the city was undergoing expansion, and he knew this was an opportunity to make a fortune.
So he approached the official in charge of Xianyang's planning and wanted to buy a portion of the land.
Once Xianyang is fully expanded, it can be resold, and a huge profit can be made.
However, his plan backfired; the land in Xianyang was only available for rent, not for sale.
This is to prevent them from buying and selling land so casually.
You should know that land in Xianyang City is extremely valuable.
Even a random shop can sell for a sky-high price of 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
Left with no other option, the Emperor of Dayin had to rent some shops.
They used up all the resources they had left.
It felt no remorse whatsoever; on the contrary, it felt like it had made a huge profit.
According to his estimate, once Xianyang is fully built, the value of these shops will definitely double again.
At that time, even if he rents it out for 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones a month, there will be plenty of people who want to rent it.
Instead of stopping it, the members of the Dayin royal family strongly supported it.
Because their emperor's methods of governing the country were mediocre.
However, when it comes to doing business, probably no one in the entire Dayin Dynasty can compare with him.
Therefore, they not only supported the Emperor of Dayin, but also used their personal assets to rent shops extensively in Xianyang.
This matter quickly reached Ying Chen's ears.
"This Emperor of the Great Yin Dynasty is quite interesting; he has a good business sense!"
Ying Chen smiled slightly as he looked at the intelligence sent by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
"Summon the Emperor of the Great Yin Dynasty to see me!"
Ying Chen said to Cao Zhengchun beside him.
"Here!"
Cao Zhengchun said respectfully.
After leaving the main hall, Cao Zhengchun went straight to where the Emperor of Dayin and the others were.
At this time, the Emperor of Dayin and others had already purchased a property where all of the more than one hundred members of the royal family lived.
When Cao Zhengchun arrived, the area in front of the mansion had already been prepared.
When the Emperor of Da Yin and others learned that the Qin Emperor's personal attendant had arrived, they all rushed out to greet him.
"I was unaware of the angel's arrival and have failed to greet you properly. I hope the angel will not be offended!"
The Great Yin Emperor was a round, chubby man who looked quite comical.
He always had a smile on his face, making him very approachable.
"The Emperor wishes to see you. Come with me!"
Cao Zhengchun stated directly the purpose of his visit.
"Does the Emperor wish to see me?"
The Emperor of Dayin's expression changed, a hint of panic flashing across his face.
Could it be that I have done something to displease the Qin Emperor?
He was very uneasy.
"This... angel, may I ask what brings Your Majesty to see this humble subject?"
The Emperor of Dayin quietly handed Cao Zhengchun a storage ring and asked cautiously.
Cao Zhengchun accepted the storage ring with a smile.
"No need to worry, it's a good thing!"
Cao Zhengchun addressed the Emperor of Dayin.
Based on his understanding of Ying Chen, this Emperor Da Yin had become very powerful.
"Phew! That's good, that's good!"
Emperor Da Yin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he hadn't displeased Emperor Qin.
"Then let's set off now! Let's not keep the Emperor waiting!"
"The Great Yin Emperor said anxiously."
Emperor Da Yin followed Cao Zhengchun to the Imperial Palace, to the main hall where Ying Chen was.
As soon as he stepped into the main hall, the Emperor of Dayin prostrated himself on the ground and loudly proclaimed, "This humble subject, Wang Fugui, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
"Get up!"
Upon hearing Ying Chen's voice, the Emperor of Dayin slowly got up from the ground.
However, he kept his head down, not daring to look up at Ying Chen.
"Keep your head up!"
Ying Chen's voice rang out again.
The Emperor of Dayin dared not disobey Ying Chen's orders and forced himself to raise his head despite his fear.
I tried my best to force a smile.
"Not bad, it's quite comical!"
Ying Chen said with a smile.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. My family has always praised me this way since I was a child!"
Emperor Da Yin said to Ying Chen.
