This first emperor is awesome

"Do you think Handan City should be slaughtered?"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with cold eyes and asked.

Li Si almost knelt down, who did he provoke?

shit

Want to say Dang Tu?

Wouldn't the world want to scold me, Li Si, to death that day?

Do you want to say that it is improper to butcher?

Looking at His Majesty's posture today, can he still have his own good fruit in the future?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. After analyzing the pros and cons, Li Si finally made up his mind and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's right."

Li Si hadn't finished speaking when he saw His Majesty's eyes shooting towards him like sharp knives.

With a slight tremor in his heart, he immediately swallowed the word "Tu" back abruptly, and changed his words: "It doesn't matter whether you should be slaughtered or not. The important thing is the negative impact brought by the slaughter of Handan City."

"The world has just been unified for more than three years. Your Majesty slaughtered Handan today, and the people of the world will be trembling. If you mistakenly think that your majesty is going to implement a policy of bloodbath and massacre against the six countries, there will be turmoil in the mountains and rivers, and the people's hearts will fluctuate. It will not be conducive to the foundation of the empire forever."

"Your Majesty's lesson."

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and almost missed a major event.

"What the Prime Minister said is very true, Your Majesty must not start killing people, killing innocent people indiscriminately!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty."

At this time, the ministers of Manchao Wu also stood up one after another, and they all asked Ying Zheng to give a lecture.

"Not slaughtering is not enough to appease my anger, not killing is not enough to stop rumors."

Ying Zheng looked at the pleading military officials, with a straight face, and said aggressively.

"Your Majesty, if you kill all the people in Handan, you will be able to exchange for the long-term stability of the empire, and I will definitely agree with it with both hands."

"But if it's the other way around, my minister, I absolutely dare not agree."

"Please, Your Majesty, calm down."

Meng Yi remonstrated again.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Everyone shouted in unison again.

"Shusun Tong, you are now a doctoral servant, come and tell me."

"I am the lord of the world. I can't even protect the reputation of my biological mother when others slander me, and I can't even protect the peace of my sweetheart. What kind of lord of the world is this?"

Ying Zheng slapped hard on the wooden table in front of him, making a rumbling sound.

Everyone was taken aback, and there were some murmurs in their hearts.

My goodness!

Why did this hot potato get into my hands?

After working so hard, I finally changed from a candidate for a doctor to a hand-picked doctor, and squeezed into the position of a doctor.

So soon, are the good days coming to an end?

Uncle Sun Tong stood up, his expression unchanged, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty is the co-lord of the Kyushu, and the four seas are the same respect."

"The impact of this incident is so bad that it has never been seen before."

"If you don't punish severely, the majesty of the emperor will disappear."

"If you massacre the city, it will violate Tianhe and damage the name of Your Majesty's benevolence. It is not advisable."

After finishing speaking, Shu Suntong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was witty.

Ying Zheng cast a glance at Shusun Tong, and let you finish all the good and bad things by yourself.

Just listening, it seems very reasonable, but after a careful taste, doesn't it mean that you didn't say anything?

"Is that a severe punishment for massacring the city? Or is it spreading benevolence and benevolence?"

Ying Zheng didn't intend to just let him fool him, he asked in a deep voice.

This

Shu Suntong immediately encountered the same problem as Li Si, and agreed that the massacre of the city would be scolded by the world.

Denying the massacre of the city would definitely offend His Majesty, so my hard work over the years would be in vain with just a few words.

Just at Shusun Tong, wandering left and right, suddenly a flash of inspiration said: "Your Majesty, I have a compromise method, which will not damage the name of Your Majesty's benevolence, but also demonstrate the majesty of the Son of Heaven."

"Oh?"

"tell me the story."

Ying Zheng suddenly became interested, looked at Shu Suntong, and said in surprise.

"Your Majesty, why don't you punish the big ones, and only punish the evil leaders. All Zhao royal families and clans will be executed, and half of the wealth of the nobles in Handan will be confiscated to the state treasury to offset their crimes. The taxes and taxes of the people in Handan will be doubled to offset their mistakes."

"In this way, people in the world will only scold Zhao's royal family for treachery, insanity, and death."

"The nobles in Handan are grateful to His Majesty, and praise the Lord's benevolent and virtuous name."

"The people of Handan will also remember your Majesty's grace of not killing, and praise the Lord's sage and wise king."

Shu Suntong's words immediately aroused everyone's admiration.

This is indeed a very good method, and it is indeed a clever plan.

If it weren't for the occasion, Ying Zheng would have wanted to praise Shu Suntong severely, and he said it to his heart.

I have spent a lot of trouble, for what?

Although it is revenge for Ah Fang, but it is not all.

The war in the south is raging, the war in the north is about to start, and disasters are frequent in various places. Just halfway through the year, the national treasury has almost been emptied.

What to do if you want to maintain the huge expenditure of the empire?

Paper and refined salt are certainly profitable, but compared with the huge expenditure of the empire, they are a drop in the bucket.

Most of the money and resources in this world are monopolized by nobles and nobles everywhere.

What could be faster than getting money out of their pockets?

No, fines are fine!

This visit to the east was quite different from the past.

The aristocrats of the six kingdoms of Shandong were able to raise righteousness and rebel, what did they rely on?

It's not just lip service and righteousness, it's more about their wealth, they can gather the hungry and refugees, feed them, and arm them.

First find a way to cut off the wings of their wealth, and then slowly plan to step all these malicious dogs into the abyss, so that they will never turn back.

I'd like to see, what kind of troubles can they create after losing their huge wealth and status and power?

Passing through the old land of Sanchuan South Korea, the reason why there is no action is because the old land of South Korea is just under the eyelids of Xianyang's internal history, and there is no way to make waves.

Moreover, most of the old and expensive Koreans have moved to Xianyang City, so there is nothing to worry about.

Zhaodi started from Handan, which used to be the capital of Zhao State, and almost gathered rich businessmen, royal families and nobles of Zhao State.

Zhang Liang is dead, Liu Ji and others are all contributing to Daqin, and there is also Xiang's family, who is a bit of a threat.

kill?

Or subdue?

With the personality of the overlord of Western Chu in the future memory, he would rather die than live.

However, when he thought of Xianyang being burned to the ground and the clan of Qin State being wiped out, Yingzheng's eyes showed a gleam of coldness.

Since you can't use it for yourself, you should die!

Only the dead are the most reassuring.

If he is alive all the time, he certainly has no fear of the world.

But there are still eight years to go, life and death are unpredictable, Ying Zheng obviously does not want to leave a disaster and endanger the safety of the empire.

If you can't live forever, then in your own lifetime, all those unstable factors will be eradicated, and a peaceful and prosperous world will be left for the successor king.

Chapter 78 Everywhere you look is the land of Qin

"What do you think?"

Ying Zheng glanced at the audience, and said unhurriedly.

"This plan is very clever."

Everyone shouted in unison.

"Since Minister Wu of the Manchu Dynasty pleaded for you, I will give you a chance, so I can do it myself!"

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he walked away directly.

Man Chaowu followed closely behind, leaving officials and nobles in Handan, big and small, kneeling on the ground, panting.

Many timid people slumped on the ground.

This can be regarded as a circle from the gate of hell, and came back safely.

Although he lost half of his family property, he saved his family and himself after all.

As long as the status is still there, the lost wealth will be earned back sooner or later.

Among the mountains in the southwest is the place where the ancestors of the Yelang people lived.

Zang Cang City is located on the bank of Zang Cang River, and it is the royal city of Yelang people.

Today's Zangzhang City ushered in a group of unusual guests, they are gorgeously dressed and rich and powerful.

Before arriving at Zangzhang City, the name had already spread to the royal capital.

Along the way, not only food and drink were provided, but also a large number of living utensils were given to Yelang people, which opened the eyes of all Yelang people.

Never thought that simple living utensils can be so gorgeous and glamorous, which is an eye-opener.

The Yelang people who got the utensils all regarded them as treasures and rejoiced.

And those who didn't get it could only look on helplessly, full of envy.

There are dozens of carriages and supplies, but now there are only a few carts left.

After Liu Ji led the envoys into the city, they were warmly welcomed by the people of the capital of Yelang.

"Don't grab it, it's all there, it's all there!"

Liu Ji's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, and he enthusiastically took the lead in distributing benefits to the people of the capital of Yelang.

Waiting for the materials to be dispersed, amidst cheers and flowers flying all over the sky, Liu Ji and the envoys were welcomed into Yelang Palace.

It is said to be a palace, but in Liu Ji's eyes, this palace is not as grand as his own mansion, it looks dilapidated, and it can be regarded as a royal palace.

Under the guidance of the envoy, Liu Ji came to the palace with the Daqin scepter in hand.

Looking at King Yelang sitting on a big wooden slum, Liu Ji cleared his voice and said, "Great Qin Empire, Liu Ji, the conciliator, has met the king."

Standing behind Liu Ji as the deputy envoy, Zhang San immediately opened his mouth to translate in squeaky night wolf language.

King Yelang was already old, his beard and hair were all gray, with a pair of big horns on his head, and colorful talismans painted on his face, he said to Liu Ji, "Where is the Great Qin Kingdom?"

Because of Liu Ji's benevolence, King Yelang has a very good sense of Liu Ji, so he is considered peaceful.

"There is no king's land under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the land."

"Today, the four seas are united and the world is unified. Please look up at the sky outside, Your Majesty."

Liu Ji changed his usual hippie smile to a dignified expression, but he was quite gracious.

After listening to Deputy Envoy Zhang San's translation, King Yelang and the elders of all the tribes raised their heads and looked at the blue sky outside.

Soon their eyes showed doubts, and they were extremely puzzled.

King Yelang looked at Liu Ji and asked in confusion, "What did your envoy ask me to see?"
