Chaotic Qin

After thinking about it, Qin Zichu's face suddenly darkened, he swept Ying Zheng up and down and sneered.

"I didn't expect there to be such a secret." Qin Zichu said in a strange tone.

Ying Zheng's face turned cold.

He said unhappily: "Don't think about it, I didn't like men at all at first. What's more, I still look pitiful like this, but in fact, I am a irrational person who will become impatient under a little pressure."

Qin Zichu found it difficult to accept Ying Zheng's statement, so he couldn't help but retort: ​​"If you don't like him at all, the matter will fall into your afternoon nap, and he can come in casually?"

After hearing Qin Zichu's sour words, Ying Zheng couldn't control the expression on his face, and laughed happily.

He raised his hand to caress Qin Zichu's cheek, and leaned into his ear and said, "You...are you jealous too?"

Qin Zichu admitted confidently: "Yes."

"It's not like I was cold-blooded and ruthless from the very beginning." Qin Zichu's answer made Ying Zheng elated.

He couldn't help chuckling, leaned forward and rubbed Qin Zichu's neck with his straight nose like a big coquettish cat.

Ying Zheng's tone was soft, and he explained with a flattering taste: "I treat a person who is in the same disease as a friend. Who would have thought that he has evil intentions? I am also very disappointed, and I will become more and more cold-blooded later."

Family affection and friendship have hurt Yingzheng before, and the sour bubble in Qin Zichu's heart was instantly punctured at the thought of this.

He snorted lightly, but a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

But Qin Zichu still said: "Then why didn't you go to kill him, but he bought you to kill?"

A cold light shot out of Ying Zheng's eyes, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It was I who let him run away carelessly. But what if he ran away? If I hadn't sent someone to make peace, how could Yan Wangxi cut it himself? Xia Yandan's head was presented to me—I like this kind of self-inflicted drama the most. Zi Chu, do you know? When Yandan's head was presented to me, he died with regret."

Qin Zichu felt chills running down his back.

He had always known that Ying Zheng was angry and his methods of dealing with others were cruel and vicious, but he didn't expect to come back to this point.

Qin Zichu couldn't help swallowing, but Ying Zheng suddenly met his eyes and smiled softly.

"Zi Chu, are you scared?" Ying Zheng's tone was soft and gentle.

Qin Zichu couldn't help but slightly distanced himself from Yingzheng. After a long silence, he leaned forward and rested his forehead on Yingzheng's shoulder.

He said softly: "It's really scary, it's the first time I've heard of such a scary approach."

Ying Zheng rubbed Qin Zichu's back with his hands, gently took his palm, and there was a faint smile in his eyes that Qin Zichu didn't see.

He said gently: "If you are afraid, I will not do this in the future."

When Qin Zichu heard Ying Zheng's words, he wanted to nod his head in agreement and let him put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately, but Qin Zichu hadn't been stimulated to the point of being sick by the sudden shock.

He understands that as an emperor, for those who have fooled him, unless he never cares about that person, no emperor will let go of the bastard who fooled him.

Yan Dan was lucky enough for Ying Zheng to think of revenge even after the assassination.

"What you want to do is just revenge against the princes and nobles of the countries that are about to perish. I won't stop you. But Ah Zheng, I hope you don't implicate innocent people." Qin Zichu sighed.

He regretted to find that his integrity seemed to be shattered, and he had no pressure to talk about taking revenge on others.

Σ(っ°Д°;)っFor me, have the princes and nobles of other countries been labeled as dead?

Qin Zichu deeply reflected on his thoughts for a while, then let go of Yan Dan's question, and turned to the question just now.

"Ah Zheng, what do you plan to do with the princes and nobles of other countries? Although we have wiped out their wealth, there are always some capable people who can survive and live well. If these people are stationed in place, I am afraid Gathering a lot of popularity and recuperating for decades will become a serious problem for my confidant, Daqin." When mentioning this terrible matter, the smile on Qin Zichu's face gradually disappeared.

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Move them to a remote and uninhabited land in our Qin territory, and let them all live together. At that time, there will be no familiar people to support and worship, and they will have to plow the land for a living. A group of people with hoes I have seen princes and sons, even if they have great abilities, after doing farm work, it would be nice to be able to fill their stomachs. Moreover, there are flickering battles between countries, and old enemies are endless. If they live together, they will definitely become a mess , can never be done again.”

With Ying Zheng's guarantee, Qin Zichu immediately put his mind at ease and never cared about this issue again.

Instead, Ying Zheng recalled the weird words that Yan Dan had said before, and silently remembered them.

He decided to send someone to find out why Yan Dan, a young master of the state of Yan who had no power to restrain a chicken, was able to climb over the wall and escape.

If he hadn't happened to be on a whim today and insisted on dragging Qin Zichu to the riverside to see the newly dug canal, I'm afraid this hostage from the Yan Kingdom would have escaped!

"Zi Chu, I'll take you back to rest." Ying Zheng said, but before he finished speaking, he had already hugged Qin Zichu in his arms, and strode back to the bedroom.

Qin Zichu really wanted to say, "My leg is not broken, I can walk by myself", but when the warm breath came from Ying Zheng's chest, he rubbed into Ying Zheng's arms in a useless manner, and closed his eyes reassuringly.

In the long corridor, there are only the sound of Yingzheng's footsteps, reflecting the faint candlelight and the bright moon hanging above the head, the atmosphere is peaceful and quiet.

Qin Zichu suddenly looked straight at the palace servants who were following behind him and waved them back.

Immediately, he leaned forward, pulled off Ying Zheng's collar that tightly wrapped around his neck, put his lips on it, and sucked hard, leaving a red mark.

Yingzheng's chest shook and he let out a low laugh.

Qin Zichu, however, acted as if he hadn't heard it, and continued to leave a series of criminal evidence on it.

After finally returning to the room, Qin Zichu raised his neck and said in a condescending tone, "Come and serve me."

Ying Zheng supported Qin Zichu's injured arm, and stripped him cleanly.

It was rare that he didn't ask for any intimate actions, and directly stuffed Qin Zichu into the bed, followed by himself, and carefully fixed Qin Zichu's body, preventing him from moving and pressing on the wound.

Qin Zichu closed his eyes, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Not long after, he fell asleep against Ying Zheng's warm body.

The completion of the Zhengguo Canal means that the grain production capacity of the entire Guanzhong region has been greatly improved.

Even though the autumn harvest season has passed, before winter, the common people can find ways to grow melons and vegetables in the fields to satisfy their hunger.

And thinking of what Zheng Guo said back then, "it will take at least five years", Qin Zichu was extremely happy at the speed of completion of the project, which was barely in its fourth year.

He is not a representative of the Legalists, and he has never had the terrible idea of ​​draining the power of the people.

Qin Zichu knew very well that the completion of the Zhengguo Canal ahead of schedule was not only due to the reasonable planning of Zheng Guo and other professionals, but more credit should be attributed to the day and night hard work and sweat of the people in Qin.

The one year saved may seem short, but the benefits for Qin are absolutely beyond imagination.

"Inform the officials of the county to check the people who are expropriated for the construction of the Zhengguo Canal. Anyone who is still alive will be exempted from the corvee for the next two years, and the tax will be reduced by [-]% for three consecutive years as a reward; if unfortunately died on the way to the corvée, the tax will be exempted for another three years. And the corvee." Qin Zichu thought for a while, and directly promised.

Ying Zheng looked at Qin Zichu in surprise, he didn't expect him to promise so many benefits as soon as he opened his mouth.

Waiting for the herald to leave, Ying Zheng couldn't help but immediately said: "Zi Chu, you have done something good this year, just reward a few, why do you want to reward so much?"

Qin Zichu smiled lightly, resting his chin on the table with one hand.

He glanced at Ying Zheng and said in a gentle tone, "I plan to implement tax reform, you can listen to see if it's feasible."

When it came to business, Ying Zheng followed with a serious expression and nodded.

Qin Zichu immediately said: "Every year, the officials responsible for observing the sky will report in advance whether there is enough or too much rain. In fact, we can predict whether there will be a good harvest in advance because of the farming in spring and autumn."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng didn't understand why Qin Zichu put the tax reform and the celestial necklace, but he still listened quietly and attentively to his words.

Qin Zichu continued: "After the completion of the Zhengguo Canal, I asked the officials to calculate it specially. After the completion of the Zhengguo Canal in the hinterland of Guanzhong, unless there is a drought that has not happened in a century, the whole territory will no longer be short of water sources, which means that the annual output will be greatly increased. promotion—and most of the taxes we collect are collected directly from the people.”

Speaking of this, Qin Zichu laughed.

He said playfully: "Ah Zheng, have you noticed? If you say that raising taxes will cause public resentment, but if you don't raise them, compared to the output, the taxes we get will actually decrease."

At this point in Qin Zichu's words, Ying Zheng already understood what he was going to do.

After the two looked at each other, Qin Zichu said in a good mood: "From then on, all regions can collect grain according to the proportion. No, I don't mean to harvest [-]% now, and [-]% will be collected in the future, but to calculate the bottom line that the people will not starve to death every year. Numbers, detailing the tax ratios for good years, normal years, and disaster years. If there is a disaster year, it is better to follow the example according to the degree of disaster, and directly reduce the amount of tax according to the prescribed ratio, so as to avoid how much tax the court wants to reduce or exempt. And endless disputes, wasting more time. In this way, even if the country suffers some losses, at least it will not lead to people's resentment - people who have a full stomach always have a better temper and complain less."

Ying Zheng thought for a while, then nodded.

He simply explained: "Let this matter be presided over by Fan Suixiangguo and Mr. Zhang Li. Let them discuss it with other ministers in detail, list all possible troubles one by one, and think of a solution. Taxation is an important issue." We cannot rush to change things.”

Qin Zichu nodded and agreed, "Okay."

After finishing speaking, he smiled a little shyly, and said in a low voice: "If it wasn't for the state of Qin to persevere in Shang Jun's reform, I wouldn't dare to tell you all my thoughts. It's really helpful to be able to help you now. That's great. By the way, since the construction of the Zhengguo Canal is completed, Zhengguo is free. Zhaoguo has become the territory of our Daqin, but the water conservancy facilities in Zhaoguo are not good enough, so this year, people will be killed or injured due to drought. It’s so serious. I consider sending Zheng Guo to Zhao to build water canals for the local people. But at present, most of the young and strong in Zhao are led by Li Mu to resist the Xiongnu, and the rest are handed over to Meng Ao to build the Great Wall , The huge manpower gap has become an insoluble problem, and I don't know what to do."

Qin Zichu said regretfully and frowned.

He said with some annoyance: "Of course we can pull the men in Guanzhong to the Zhao border to continue building the next canal. But in this way, many people may not be able to withstand the long-distance migration and die in this way. There is too much food, and I don't want my people to suffer."

Ying Zheng laughed when he heard Qin Zichu's troubled question.

He said directly: "Yan Dan made such a incident, just let us take advantage of it. Let Wang Jian lead the troops to press down on the Yishui River, and then we will send a mission to report directly to you that you were 'deliberately injured' by Prince Dan of Yan. King Yan described it. With Yan Wang’s happy character, he might be scared out of his wits. If we only asked for [-] young adults as compensation at this time, he would happily send them over—anyway, Zhao Guo and Before we started, we beat the country of Yan to such an extent that even the Yishui River could hardly be defended."

At this point, Ying Zheng paused for a moment, looked at Qin Zichu and said with an unusually cheerful smile: "This can also relax the vigilance of the Lord of Yan, and make him think that we are currently unable to continue the war."

In fact, it's not just the country of Yan. If it is done according to Ying Zheng's method, it can paralyze the three countries of Wei, Chu, and Qi at the same time, so that they can all rest assured and continue to live and dream.

By the time they realize it, the army of the Qin State will surely approach the city.

Qin Zichu felt that the eyes he looked at Ying Zheng were about to turn into two hearts.

The male god really deserves to be a male god. Every time His Majesty the First Emperor proposes a solution, at least he can kill two birds with one stone!
