Daqin: I Want to Be a Powerful Minister, but the First Emperor Actually Passed The Throne to Me

Emperor's House.

In the center of the lake, a pavilion made of tamarind wood stands under the blue sky, and the fish in the lake shuttle under the algae.

In the dazzling water light, the backs of three men, two women, were reflected.

Li Zhishuang's calm eyes were filled with a touch of tenderness.

Wang Mengning's long hair fell to her waist like a waterfall, and she felt a little more calm.

In front of them, Zhao Yu was dressed in emerald brocade clothes inlaid with gold and jade, and her hair was blowing in the wind.

There was a bright light in Wang Mengning's eyes, and he raised his head with watery eyes like autumn water, stared at Zhao Yu and said:

"Xijun, are you really going to go to the Huns?"

Zhao Yu smiled indifferently, looked at Wang Mengning in front of him, nodded and said: "Xijun has said a word, and the horses are hard to follow. If you don't go to conquer the Xiongnu, do you have to rely on your grandfather?"

"Half of your grandfather's body is about to go into the ground, how can you let him be an old guy to toss, so your husband must go." Zhao Yu explained in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Wang Mengning thought of his grandfather, the grandfather who shouted all day long that he wanted to take away the Huns, Wang Mengning fell silent.

Throughout the world, Zhao Yu is the only one who can take on this great responsibility.

Wang Mengning bit her lip tightly, her delicate face full of sorrow.

Li Zhishuang raised her head, her beautiful face exuded a glamorous aura, her eyes as big as grapes were like two shining gems.

"Xijun, why do you have to conquer the Xiongnu yourself, so persistently want to destroy the Xiongnu?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was not in a hurry to answer.

He remembered the Five Husbands in history and almost wiped out the entire Han nationality!

The Han people, in the eyes of the Huns, are two-legged sheep, which can be cooked and eaten!

The Huns robbed China for nearly 2,000 years!

After a pause, Zhao Yu said firmly, under the gazes of Li Zhishuang and Wang Meng, "The Huns have robbed my children of the Central Plains for more than two thousand years! Besides, my people in Great Qin are suffering today. The entire territory of the Xiongnu, for me, the Qin Dynasty, the world will be rid of the crisis for all generations!"

Hearing this, Li Zhishuang and Wang Mengning fell silent.

They bowed their heads and knew in their hearts that such a man was the unparalleled hero in their minds!

After thinking for a while, Li Zhishuang and Wang Mengning looked at each other, and both had made an important decision in their hearts.

Kylin Hall.

The dark clouds floated over the Qilin Hall, and the light in the Qilin Hall suddenly dimmed.

The white cranes screeched and passed by, and the breeze passed through the faces of the civil and military ministers in the hall. Every civil and military minister under the heavy official robes seemed to feel a little hot and uneasy.

They stared at the man in the court hall, under the black imperial robe, who was as majestic as the sky.

Qin Shihuang looked around the civil and military officials, and then looked at the old god of war Wang Jian who was sitting below, and Zhao Yu, the imperial teacher.

After a pause, Qin Shi Huang said, "Today, I am here to issue an imperial decree! Cut the taxes of the Great Qin to half of the tax. `||!

"Hi! 99

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials were all shocked.

You must know that Daqin's current tax is 20%, which is already the lowest tax in Daqin.

In the past, when he fought against the Six Kingdoms, the tax collected by Da Qin even reached 40%!

The reduction to 20%, civil and military officials have felt incredible, and now it is directly reduced to half.

This made the civil and military officials even more embarrassed, and the civil and military officials subconsciously turned their eyes to the emperor Zhao Yu.

In their opinion, Qin Shihuang had always been a staunch supporter of forcibly levying heavy taxes, and even in order to build a battleship to capture Xu Fu, he directly charged up to 40% of the tax.

Now that only half of the tax is paid, I am afraid that it must be the work of the emperor Zhao Yu.

Prime Minister Li Si immediately stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not right for a small minister, I have a million iron-clad soldiers in the Qin Dynasty, and there are countless Qin officials in the world. 700,000 people built for His Majesty day and night, civil and military officials all received the emperor's favor, and enjoyed high-ranking officials and generous emoluments.""

"Your Majesty's tax is reduced to half, so the state treasury must be unable to continue to support it!" Li Si's voice tried his best to dissuade him.

"I hope Your Majesty thinks twice, I am afraid that this move will affect the foundation of my Great Qin!" Zuo Prime Minister Feng Qujie also stood up.

Doctor Chun Yuyue stood up with a wat board in hand and said, "Your Majesty's heart of benevolence and virtue can be seen all over the world, but this move by Your Majesty may be detrimental to the prosperity and long-term stability of the empire."

69

Civil and military officials stood up one by one to express their thoughts.

"My intentions are over! Those who discuss again, behead!" Qin Shi Huang said firmly.

The icy voice and the domineering aura were crushed in the hearts of every minister of civil and military affairs.

Civil and military officials have their Majesty's mouth.

"Prime Minister Li Si, immediately prepare an edict that the world's taxes will be reduced to half!" Qin Shi Huang said solemnly.

"Here." Li Si stood up with the wat board in his hand, daring not to have the slightest dissatisfaction in his voice.

Then, after a pause, Qin Shi Huang continued: "I want to regularize the army. From now on, the army of Da Qin will be honored to be a soldier! Being a soldier is an honor, and every soldier can have different things every month. Waiting salary.""

"Feng Qujie!" Qin Shihuang said solemnly.

"I'm here!" Feng Qujie stood up and said.

"Immediately promulgate the edict and announce it to the world! Then I will count the treasury, and send out all the military salaries owed to the soldiers last month!

"Here." Feng Qujie said in a deep voice.

Thinking of this, all the ministers were shocked!

His Majesty is going to issue salaries to the army, and he also wants to improve the treatment and income of soldiers.

Although this is a good thing in the eyes of the ministers, it makes the ministers feel very worried!

Although Daqin now has official salt and official sales, it can ease the financial pressure.

However, the entire Great Qin Empire has raised millions of people, and it is not bad to be able to support such a large population.

Nowadays, it is even more necessary to issue military salaries to every soldier equally, even if the national treasury is rich, it cannot bear such consumption!

What's more, the tax was not increased, but reduced by half, which made all the civil and military ministers sweat for Da Qin involuntarily.

The reaction of the ministers, Qin Shihuang saw it exactly in their eyes, standing still, sitting quietly like a mountain.

After a long time, Qin Shihuang paused, and continued, "||I pass on my oral order, and it is intended to be an edict!"

"Here!" Meng Yi stood out holding the wat board.

Only then did Qin Shihuang slowly say: "All the women of Qin, from now on, must be eighteen years old before they can have children! 39

boom!

Hearing this, such a heavy hammer struck the hearts of the ministers immediately.

The ministers stood up one after another and refuted it.

"Your Majesty, the birth of sixteen children was decided by Zhou Li! You cannot change it at will!

"Your Majesty, this move is not conducive to increasing the population of my Daqin!""

"Your Majesty, this is the way of the ancestors, please think again, Your Majesty!"

Similar voices came one after another, and all the ministers expressed their opposition.

Qin Shihuang promulgated three imperial decrees in one day today, none of which surprised the civil and military officials.

His eyes swept across the body of the ministers, and the ministers seemed to feel that their souls were trembling.

"My will has been decided, and those who discuss it again will be killed without mercy!" Qin Shihuang said solemnly.

As soon as the words fell, the entire Qilin Hall was silent!

After a long time, Li Sicai cut out slowly, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, in this way, the treasury of my Great Qin will not dare to bear heavy burdens, where does this money come from?

Qin Shihuang smiled slightly and said indifferently: "I have a way to rely on it!

Hearing this, Li Si and the ministers were shocked.

Does your majesty have a solution?

any solution?

They all stared at Qin Shi Huang curiously, full of doubts in their hearts, but they did not ask questions easily.

In the sight of the ministers, Qin Shihuang looked at Zhao Yu deeply, as if the answer was hidden in Zhao Yu.

Could it be that His Majesty's answer is hidden in Zhao Yu?

All the ministers took a deep breath and stared at Zhao Yu, their hearts filled with doubts!
