Daqin: Impeachment of Qin Shihuang at the Start

Chapter 43 That’s right! Taxation must be ruthless! (Add more 1)

“My colleagues, don’t run anymore!”

“If we fight alone and work on our own, we will not be able to complete the tasks that His Royal Highness has entrusted to me within two months!”

“Well, let’s discuss it and see how we can complete the task quickly!”

Li Si quickly stopped the civil and military officials.

Even the detailed decree issued by Ying Ziye can’t be remembered clearly. What use can you run blindly?

“Yeah……!”

“If I wait for only sweeping the snow in front of the door, it will be difficult to complete the tax reform task within two months!”

“Yes! Only by working together can we see results soon!”

“I wonder if Prime Minister Li has any ideas?”

Hearing what he said, all the ministers stopped.

Yes, like them, taxing everywhere like a headless fly, how can it be possible to complete the task assigned to them by the prince in two months?

“This official feels that the most urgent task is to first record the detailed decree issued by His Royal Highness yesterday!”

“Everyone, think about it, what did His Royal Highness say yesterday?”

“How are taxes and land divided?”

Li Si glanced at everyone and asked eagerly.

If they don’t even remember the detailed decree, the whole family will be over in two months!

“I remember that His Highness the Prince said yesterday that the household tax should be abolished according to the household tax, and the tax should be paid according to the number of fields!”

“Yes! Your Highness said that those who have farmland less than 100 acres in the family can be exempted from all taxes!”

“Or it is exempted from all taxes and taxes for the land acquired from military service!”

“In addition, to those farmers who have no land at home, each household will be allocated 100 acres of public land!”

“These public fields, His Royal Highness said that they would be collected from the local nobles and gentry!”

“Also, the gentry over a thousand acres will pay a thousand taels of gold!”

“For those over 10,000 mu, make up 10,000 taels of gold!”

“For those over 100,000 mu, make up one hundred thousand taels of gold!”

“By analogy, the more fields, the more replenishment!”

“This is the amount of back tax paid for local tycoons!”

“Salt merchants’ supplementary payment is the start of five million taels of gold!”

“The back payment by the nobles of various countries starts with one million taels of gold!”

“Quick! Write it down quickly, you can’t miss one, otherwise, the lives of you and my family will be gone!”

Everyone, you and me, recalled what Ying Ziye said yesterday morning, and Li Si quickly ordered someone to write it down.

“Well, let’s work on our own, let alone two months, we won’t be able to complete the task in two years!”

“From now on, you will listen to the dispatch of the two of us, how about?”

“Good! As long as the prince confided by the prince can be completed as soon as possible, the two prime ministers do not hesitate to give orders!”

“That’s good! Today we will use all our strength to collect taxes from Xianyang and the forty counties around Xianyang first!”

“At the same time of collecting taxes, count all the households, those with no land property, or those with less than 100 mu of land, immediately collect land from the nobles and tycoons, and then distribute it to them!”

“Later, you will personally lead people to battle, and every two officials will be in charge of a county!”

“Strive to complete the task of taxation and land allocation within one day, and tomorrow morning, so that His Royal Highness can give an explanation!”

“What do you think?”

“But listen to the Prime Minister’s dispatch!”

“Then what are you waiting for, act quickly, if the noble gentry opposes, just destroy the whole house!”

“Yes! If we don’t destroy them all, His Royal Highness will destroy us all!”

“Remember everyone! Don’t think about the old feelings and tenderness. I know that you have an alliance with the noble gentry of Xianyang City. Think about your family. If you don’t want to be destroyed, you have to be cruel!”

“That’s right! The taxation must be ruthless! The official intends to save his money, even if it is the official’s in-laws, if he dares to say nothing, the official will immediately slaughter his whole family!”

“The truth is that I will go to Master Tingwei to deploy the army, and then each will lead two hundred soldiers, and immediately go to the counties!”

“Well, the noble gentry of Xianyang City will be handed over to the two prime ministers!”

“Don’t worry, you guys, even if the blood is flowing in Xianyang, the truth will be collected today!”

After writing down the decree issued by Ying Ziye yesterday, everyone discussed specific actions.

In the end, the civil and military unanimously decided to impose taxes with an iron fist!

Strive to complete the expropriation of Xianyang City and the surrounding forty counties in one day!

At the same time, land allocation is also completed!

Such a heavy task, if it hadn’t been a few months before, it would have been too busy!

But for the lives of the whole family, they can only do their best!

What relatives and friends!

If you dare to prevent them from collecting taxes, just kill them!

If they don’t be cruel to their relatives and friends, they have to be cruel to their own family!

…

“How did Ye’er behave the next morning?”

In the imperial study room, seeing the man in black coming in, Ying Zheng quickly put down the brush and asked with interest.

“His Majesty, the prince’s performance today is an eye-opener for the old minister!”

The man in black sighed sincerely with a smile on his face.

“Oh?”

“Let’s talk about it in detail?”

“Oh by the way, how did Zhao Gao’s pal Ye’er deal with it?”

“And that Ma Quan who eats inside and out, did Ye’er kill him?”

Hearing what he said, Ying Zheng became more and more interested.

“Back to your Majesty, killing is all killing!”

“However, His Royal Highness did not kill in the name of Zhao Gaopeng’s party, but first called out Zhao Gao’s party and asked them how they are progressing in tax collection?”

“Naturally, these people have made no progress, so His Royal Highness ordered the destruction of their entire family!”

“Just killing ten, scared other officials to pee, haha…!”

The man in black couldn’t help but laugh at the end.

“Um!”

“As expected of my son, there really are some means…!”

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and his slightly muddy eyes were filled with relief.

These people are all members of Zhao Gao’s party members. If they are killed by forming a party and operating privately, they will at most let a hundred officials in the DPRK see a joke!

But if you are not able to do things well, you will kill them, and you will be full of copycats!

That deterrence is great!

Estimated to be able to scare the ministers to death!

If any decree is to be implemented in the future, he will not dare to violate the law and procrastinate!

“Your Majesty didn’t see it. After the chaos, the ministers ran away called a quick!”

“It seems that I hate my parents for giving them a leg!”

“Ha ha……!”

The black man stroked his beard and couldn’t help but laugh again.

“Yes, Not Bad!”

“Unexpectedly, it only took one day for Ye’er to clean up the civil and military service of Manchu Dynasty!”

Ying Zheng glanced at the mountain of memorials on the Long Case, and said thoughtfully: “In a few days, if he is worthy of responsibility, I will leave this memorial to him in the future!”

“That’s right! In the morning of today, His Royal Highness also ordered an imperial examination!”

“It’s similar to the form of the Imperial Palace Examination. Pass the examination and select some talents!”

The man in black seemed to have thought of something, and said quickly.

“good!”

“In this way, we can recruit talents from all over the world and use them for Da Qin!”

“Why didn’t I think of this method of selecting talents before?”*
