Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Qin Anjun has been more absent-minded in the past few days, and everyone can see it personally, but Ying Zheng, as the nominal boss, didn't ask, and Lu Buwei and the others didn't dare to ask.

When Li Jiyang went to court that day, when Li Jiyang started to lose his eyes again, Li Si couldn't hold back, and finally stood up. What do you see?"

"What?" Li Jiyang looked around in confusion: "What did you say? Say it again."

Li Si's face was red right then, red with anger!

"Qin Anjun, this is the court meeting of the imperial court, not a place for you to nap!" Of course Lu Buwei refused to let go: "Who are you contemptuous of?"

Who is it that despises?

He scanned Ying Zheng who was sitting in the main seat several times with his eyes.

"I'm just listening to what you guys are saying. Is it interesting to say one thing over and over again?" Li Jiyang yawned even more exaggeratedly: "I asked him to repeat what he just said. Why are you so excited?"

Ying Zheng also spoke at the right time: "Just ask Mr. Li to repeat what you just said, but I didn't listen very carefully."

Such obvious favoritism made Lu Buwei's face surprisingly ugly. Although Li Si's face was flushed with anger, he was too flexible, so he immediately said, "I checked the tax revenue of the previous year, and there was nothing! When the king was alive, he was exempted. It is understandable that the tax paid last year was not much higher than before, and the minister Qizuo increased the tax. One is that the people now have new farm tools, and more grain should be produced; the other is that they are preparing to give more Some food and grass, in case there is no food and grass to call in case of war. Besides...."

Li Jiyang understood that Li Si wanted to reform some things now so as to achieve his ideal state of Qin, but it was too unrealistic!

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gan Lei provocatively!

Gan Lei didn't even raise his head, just sat there on his own, it's better than Li Jiyang listening seriously!

Li Si's provocation to Gan Lei, Gan Lei didn't do much, Li Jiyang was not happy: "The first year of the king's accession, you have to increase taxes? Do you want people in Qin to scold the king behind his back? The previous king exempted Everyone said that the previous king was benevolent in taxation for one year, but his son increased the tax in the first year after he came to the throne? Li Si, do you have any brains? Can you handle things? Last year’s tax itself was ten times higher than when the previous king was alive. Are you still not satisfied? Why didn’t you look at the taxation ten years ago? Do you want people to say that Qin’s new ruler is a tyrant? Are you extorting money as soon as you take the throne?”

Li Si was speechless when he was questioned by Li Jiyang.

It's not that he doesn't want to check the previous tax content, but his official position is too small and he has no rights at all!

Moreover, it is not very popular in this era to store crotch, and those bamboo slips are easy to attract insects, rot, etc. Generally, those that can last for more than ten years must be carefully maintained.

Records such as taxes are pulled in by carloads, checked and put into storage. The bamboo slips used for the records have gone through many twists and turns, and by the time they are not used, they are almost broken anyway.

You can take a look at it for a year or two. Who cares about it after a long time?

It was very easy for Li Si to find the bamboo slips of the generation of the previous kings, but it was not easy to find the year when the tax was exempted!

He didn't know that when Li Jiyang was accepting the reward, King Zhuang Xiang had mentioned it to him once. It is said that the tax was increased by one-tenth, otherwise Li Jiyang, Qin Anjun, would not have been awarded so neatly!

Lu Buwei was fighting fiercely with the veterans at the time. Although he was concerned about this, he didn't know the specific content, and Li Jiyang was too young.

Besides, Li Jiyang was from the old Qin Dynasty. Compared with those foreign ministers, King Zhuang Xiang certainly liked locals like Li Jiyang more.

That's why he missed the point back then, and Li Jiyang could figure out the exact figure as soon as he estimated it.

But Li Si didn't know!

He thought, Li Jiyang made the new farm tools, so why haven't there been more taxes?Is it still collected according to the previous tax standard?

These days, there are many things in the army. One is that the army can’t go out now, and they can’t earn military merits. Everyone is eating their money. The other is that the summer is good for transportation and the weather is not cold. Get everything that should be in place quickly. When the mountains are blocked by heavy snow in winter, it is difficult for people and animals to travel.

What's more, Lu Buwei's side is always looking for trouble when there is nothing to do, and they will handle the real things by themselves. It is impossible to really count on Ying Zheng, after all, they are not mature yet!

Moreover, Lu Buwei subconsciously wanted to evade Yingzheng. Now that he was against him everywhere, he wanted to dig a hole to damage his reputation. However, Yingzheng was still not doing well. Li Jiyang jumped out first and took Li Si from top to bottom. Worthless from head to toe!

Wang Wan's group shook their heads and expressed support for Li Jiyang. Their statement was equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Lu Buwei, and Lu Buwei's face was even more ugly!

Simply Lu Buwei also has many supporters, and it is not unreasonable for them to target the treasury. Lu Buwei always wants to compete with Li Jiyang.

I heard that Li Jiyang hired [-] disabled veterans in the army to be Mr. Wu, to teach the children of [-] households under his command, and there are many Mr. Wen.

This is highly praised in the army, and the [-] households under his command are grateful to him. Lu Buwei also wants to copy it, and even do it better!

But he can't bear the money!

It would be different if they could open the treasury!

The treasury has money, grain, cloth, and cotton!

Li Si also wants to take the national treasury as his own so as to facilitate his realization of his ideals, but the current treasury manager is Sheren Gan Jing!

Although the official position is not high, it is enough to be close enough!

From the first time he saw Gan Lei, he understood why Qin Anjun didn't want him at that time!

So now he is really complaining to Gan Lei!

"Don't you have anything to say?" Li Jiyang snorted, looking at people with his nostrils: "My country, Qin, is based on military force, and I am not good at farming. Now that I have finally improved a little, you still want to impose taxes? Are you afraid that the ancestors of Qin will be in the middle of the night? Do you want to settle accounts with you?" This is too serious.

"Okay, don't mention the tax increase in the future. The treasury is not empty enough to raise taxes." How much is there in the treasury?Only Gan Lei, Ying Zheng and Li Jiyang knew about it.

Ying Zheng announced his retirement. Some of the people would go to work in the yamen, some hurried out to do errands, and some just found a place nearby to rest.

But Lu Buwei followed Li Jiyang: "Qin Anjun, what do you mean?"

"What? What do you mean?" Li Jiyang didn't know why.

"You know the relationship between the prime minister and the king, but you keep pretending to be stupid!" Lu Buwei asked in a low voice, gnashing his teeth: "Today you insult the people of the prime minister again!"

"Master Xiangguo, I have to stop you for some things just because I know about it." Li Jiyang felt that Lu Buwei felt too good about himself, so he had to pour cold water on him: "Can you see the light of your identity? "

Lu Buwei: "...!"

Yes!

His identity cannot be revealed!

"So what reason do you use to embarrass the lord? Ah Zheng, he has to face you, so he has to face Wang Wan, he has to favor old general Meng Ao, and he has to support old general Wang Jaw. Is it easy for him?" Li Jiyang was heartbroken: "The previous king was a grandson at that time, but now this one is a great-grandson!"

Lu Buwei: "...!"

At the time of the late king, he had a deep understanding of the criticisms from the old officials!

"Where were you when he was young? When he was suffering and suffering, you ate delicacies from mountains and seas with the former king; when he just came back, what did you do? Help Wang Jiaocheng's mother and son bully their mother and son; I contacted you on the eve of enthronement, isn't it because I have to? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't tell you until the day you die!" Almost every sentence of Li Jiyang can arouse Lu Buwei's guilt, but he has already From the respectful title of "you" to the common title of "you".

Lu Buwei: "...!"

At that time, I really couldn't care less!

"So what else do you want?" Li Jiyang patted the historical celebrity Lu Buwei on the shoulder: "Go back, Li Si is smart, but his thinking, right?"

Lu Buwei shook his head: "No."

Of course it was wrong, but Li Si said that if the national treasury is in their hands, at least they don't have to be too afraid of those generals, because the food and salaries of the army will also come from the national treasury.

Everyone knows how important the treasury is.

"That guy, you should stay away from him in the future, just think about your own ideals, and don't see if you can realize them!" Li Jiyang has no affection for Li Si at all: "He is so aggressive today, I guarantee that tomorrow he will be so aggressive." Rumors spread that people from Lu Xiangguo demanded an increase in taxes..."

"No! Absolutely not!" Lu Buwei immediately shook his head. If the lord increases taxes, no one will say anything. Who will let this country belong to others? But if a small official wants to increase taxes, he is not an outsider from the old Qin family. If people know about it, they will definitely be stabbed in the spine!

People in this era have a bad reputation, and there is no way to make up for it!

"Hehe!" Li Jiyang smiled gratifiedly, and an old servant just happened to come over: "Qin Anjun, the lord is waiting in the Palace of Political Affairs^"

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Li Jiyang turned around and left with the old servant.

Lu Buwei was left there, slowly wondering what he was thinking.

After the ministers rested for a while, drank some water, went to the lavatory, and arrived at the Yizheng Hall, which was filled with ice mirrors to keep cool.

The days of summer are long, and Li Jiyang has long been hungry after hearing what they said, but he has nothing to eat, so hungry that he almost has hypoglycemia!

When eating at night, it's so ruthless!

It made Ying Zheng laugh: "Eat slowly."

"In summer, the days are long, and two meals a day can't solve the problem!" Li Jiyang suggested: "Eat three meals...."

"There's not enough food for three meals!" Ying Zheng said bluntly, "I'm hungry too, but there's nothing I can do."

In summer, other people's children can dig wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. How can they dig wild vegetables in the Yizheng Palace?They're discussing big things.

"Then make some snacks!" Li Jiyang clenched his fist and looked at Ying Zheng seriously: "A little heart, just treat it as a little heart for the ministers!"

"Snacks?" Ying Zheng was stunned: "How?"

"Look for a godmother!" Li Jiyang's head was spinning: "For this kind of thing, only she is suitable to come forward, or bring the queen mother of the two palaces!"

Ladies, make some snacks and give them a meal for the meritorious ministers who help their sons or grandsons govern the country. By then, their reputation will be good, and it will appear that the three of them are virtuous and virtuous.

"That's fine, let outsiders know that the two grandmothers and aunt are virtuous!" Now that Ying Zheng has a good reputation, he is naturally loved by others.

I also want to make a good name for my two grandmothers and my mother.

This matter was decided in this way. After the two of them had dinner, Li Jiyang left the palace and went home.

Yang Feiying is waiting for him!

"Lu Buwei has a message, asking me to assist you, what's the matter?" Yang Feiying was really surprised by this order!

"Fooled him again today!" Li Jiyang smirked: "I guess he's still cooling down now, and when he gets hot again, it's time to change the order."

Today is because he mentioned that secret outside for the first time in a long time, of course Lu Buwei was nervous!

You must know that Zhao Ji's youngest son is the legitimate heir!

If people know Ying Zheng's secret, both he and Ying Zheng will die without a place to bury them!

So Lu Buwei was stunned by Li Jiyang today, and he was caught off guard!

This trick can only be used once, and it will not work the second time, because Li Jiyang is also an insider!
