The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was born, and my immortal identity was exposed

Chapter 137 Depressed Old Li (please recommend tickets, thank you!!!)
"A few days ago, the immortal food was ripe, and all the heads of Guizhou went to watch the ceremony to witness this grand occasion together!"

In the Daqin territory, in the streets and alleys, some storytellers are happily describing the grand occasion of that day.

After watching the ceremony, Fusu hurriedly produced newspapers overnight and distributed them to counties and counties in Daqin.

At this time, these people were talking about the records in the newspaper.

"This fairy grain potato is as big as a fist! One plant can bear more than ten seeds!"

"Shangqing Mengyi weighed it himself, and measured the yield of nearly [-] catties per mu! It really lives up to its reputation, and it really deserves to be immortal food!"

"Everyone present congratulates His Majesty and cheers for the Immortal Master!"

These storytellers became more and more excited as they talked, as if they were there at the scene and saw the exciting scene.

The people listening to the book around were also beaming with joy and applauding from time to time.

"Your Majesty said that this potato is one of the fairy food, and there are also corn, sweet potato, etc., all waiting to be ripe!"

"In the future, the seeds of these fairy food will be distributed to the people of the world!"

"When everyone grows this kind of fairy food, they won't have to worry about being hungry anymore!"

When the storyteller mentioned this, the atmosphere at the scene had already reached its peak.

Most of the Qianshou who listened to the book were farmers, and they could no longer restrain their inner joy when they heard the news.

"Really, this is really great! I also have the opportunity to grow fairy food!"

"The yield per mu is [-] catties, and I can't grow so much grain all year long!"

"Your Majesty is the man of destiny, hahaha, we will enjoy the blessings!"

"Don't worry, the newspaper also said that His Majesty has issued a decree to exempt some corvees and miscellaneous taxes. We can really live a good life!"

"Also, the Holy Majesty is also planning to organize elementary schools. All school-age children can enroll for free!"

"Your Majesty is really the king of sages!"

"These are all given by the immortal master, and we have to thank the immortal master."

"Yes yes yes! Immortal Master's great grace, we will never forget it!"

The impact of this issue of the newspaper is unquestionable, not inferior to the previous issue of the war column, or even worse.

Because of these few incidents, Ying Zheng had a lot of talk with the ministers in the court.

The first is to exempt corvee and miscellaneous taxes. Jiang Sheng didn't mention this to Ying Zheng, but he hinted at it between the lines.

To devote oneself to people's livelihood, isn't the best thing to do is to exempt from corvee and exorbitant taxes?
After Ying Zheng tried Jiang Sheng's several methods, he simply carried out drastic reforms.

Corvée is divided into forced labor, miscellaneous labor, and military service. Generally speaking, it is unpaid labor that is forced on the common people.

Is this kind of thing okay?Sometimes it is good, after all, many things require the power of the whole country to carry out.

But in the long run, it will inevitably destroy the foundation of Daqin's rule and make the people feel dissatisfied.

What Yingzheng wants is for the country to last forever and last forever!
So he decided to reform and remove forced labor and miscellaneous labor, but at that time he attracted unanimous opposition from all ministers.

But who is Old Zhao?One emperor through the ages!His vision can be farther than these ministers.

From the construction of the highway, he tasted the sweetness.

Compared with coercion, seduction with real benefits is the long-term solution.

Forced labor, right?Just find merchants to contract, and let them pay for the infrastructure.

Draw some cakes for these businessmen, and don't worry that they won't be fooled.

Merchants can make money, common people can make money, and the construction of Daqin will not be left behind. All three parties benefit from it!
Worried about the power of businessmen?

To put it bluntly, even Lu Buwei was killed by him, and Lao Zhao really didn't pay attention to these businessmen.

With the army in hand, these people are just leeks waiting to be cut!

Besides, Lao Zhao still has a killer move yet to come out.

The preparation of banknotes has already been put on the agenda.

After this banknote is popularized, the financial power will be in his hands alone!
And the most critical military service Yingzheng has not been exempted, but it is inevitable that the problem is not big.

What is the most distinctive system of Daqin?It is the military merit system!

What's more, now with the blessing of the immortal master, the chance of dying in battle is greatly reduced. This time the Northern Expedition to the Huns is the best embodiment.

Even if they are exempted from military service, I believe many people will join the army on their own initiative.

Don't be a fool to pick up military achievements for nothing!
As for exorbitant miscellaneous taxes, Daqin's national power is booming now, there is no trouble from the Huns outside, and there are [-] catties of fairy grain per mu, so it will not have much impact if it is less taxed.

And when the highway is repaired and banknotes are put into use in the future, trade will surely be more developed.

At that time, wouldn't it be better to step up efforts to collect taxes from those rich people?

The matter of compulsory education is better explained.

Ying Zheng only said that this was what the immortal master meant, and no one objected.

Jiang Sheng has proven time and time again how useful his strategy is to Daqin.

Now that his prestige was at its peak, Ying Zheng moved him out, and the effect was immediate.

In this way, these few things are settled.

Of course, not everyone was delighted when they read the newspaper.

The servants in Li Si's mansion heard a lot of vulgar words.

"Chunyu, how dare you write such articles that harm the country and the people!"

"Confucian scholars have wronged the country! Wronged the country!"

In addition, there are still many remnants of the Six Kingdoms hidden in the Great Qin.

After these people got the newspaper, they all began to doubt life.

Fairy food?Exemption from taxation?
Is this still the tyrant Yingzheng?

Such a big Qin, they took the lead to rebel?

……

Datang, Chang'an City.

Li Shimin's mood these days is not beautiful.

What Jiang Sheng said had a great impact on him.

Not to mention, he didn't have a good look at his third son, Li Zhi, who was still in his infancy.

Empress Changsun had a delicate mind, and soon realized that something was wrong with Li Shimin.

That night, Li Shimin was still reviewing the memorial in the imperial study.

The eldest grandson Wugou gently walked into the imperial study with a bowl of soup.

She walked to Li Shimin's side and said softly:

"Your Majesty, drink a bowl of soup to warm up your body, it's getting cold at night."

Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand, pinched the center of his brows wearily, took the soup from Changsun Wugou, then held her catkin again, and said with a smile:
"Guanyin maidservant, it's so late, why don't you rest?"

"You've only recovered from your illness for a few months, so you should take care of your health."

The eldest grandson Wugou walked behind Li Shimin, and gently stroked the Sichuan character pattern between his eyebrows with both hands.

"Since His Majesty came back from the fairyland, he seems to be in a bad mood, but what did the immortal master say?"

Li Shimin looked suffocated, slowly put down the soup in his hand, and sighed heavily again.

What does that make him say?
The concubine I accepted, is getting on good terms with my son?
And almost hand over the world to others?

"Is it convenient for Your Majesty to tell?" Changsun Wugou saw Li Shimin's embarrassment and asked in a low voice.

Another long silence.

"But it has something to do with Zhi'er, His Majesty hasn't visited him for the past few days."

The clever eldest grandson Wugou vaguely guessed part of the truth.
