Chapter 1109: Assassination
Fusu's gaze swept towards Li Si, and Li Si's face did not change. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The son is intelligent, he should understand that the diligence that Li Si said is mental diligence, not physical diligence, these people seem to work day by day and return at night, but they are all mechanical labor, and they create very few results, of course they gain very little, and their lives are poor.
If they are willing to use their minds more and know what to do to make them more rewarding, they will naturally become wealthy. ”
Fusu's fists slowly clenched, and he looked at Yang Dong on the side: "What do you think, what is the reason for the poverty of these Great Qin people?"
"There are many reasons, but the most important is taxes, forced labor, and war, as far as I know, our tax in Daqin is ten taxes and four, which is already a very heavy burden, but when it comes to the counties, it has exceeded ten taxes and seven, or even ten taxes and nine.
The tax of nine out of ten will mean that even if all efforts are exhausted, a considerable proportion of the average peasant household with little or poor land will starve to death.
Conscription and war have drawn a large number of people into various projects and border gates, and no one has farmed, and the output is even lower, which naturally exacerbates poverty. ”
Yang Dong's tone was very calm, there was no anger, as if he was endorsing.
"I'm afraid Earl Yang's words are biased, right?" Li Si looked at Yang Dong coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Taxes, forced labor, and war are all paid by the people of Great Qin, otherwise who will defend the country and expand the territory?"
If it were not for Your Majesty, without Your Majesty's hundreds of thousands of Great Qin soldiers, how could the safety of these people be preserved? I am afraid that the Huns would have already stepped into the border passes, and when the country would be ruined and the land of China would be ravaged by foreign races, I am afraid that it would not be a matter of paying taxes at that time, right?
What's more, how much can these low-level people pay in taxes? An ordinary landlord pays 300 taels of taxes a year, while an ordinary peasant household only pays 9 taels of taxes even if he pays 9 taels out of 10, not to mention those poor peasant tenants, who are even enjoying the protection of the Great Qin soldiers in vain.
There is no country and no home, and the war of conscription is not for the people themselves?
The so-called taxation, forced labor, and war have plunged the people into poverty, which is even more nonsense, there are many rich peasants in Daqin, even those who have no power at all, and there are many who have made a fortune from one poor to the other, do you want Li Si to give Count Yang a few examples? Let Count Yang go and investigate?
If these rich peasants can get rich, why can't other poor peasants? They live in the same Qin world, and they are naturally stupider than others? Not necessarily? In the end, they don't use their brains and are not diligent enough? Aren't they?
Earl Yang said this, not only did he not distinguish between right and wrong, but he was slandering His Majesty's policy, if Count Yang had such thoughts in his heart and His Majesty knew about it, I am afraid it would be very unfavorable to Earl Yang. ”
After Li Si said to Yang Dong coldly, he turned to Fusu and saluted: "Childe, did you say yes?"
Fusu's fists were clenched together, and after a while, he slowly let go, and his angry face gradually faded, replaced by a deep disappointment, because he knew that when Li Si said these words, it was not that he was ignorant, on the contrary, that he was smart.
Li Si said these words entirely because, this is what he usually said to his father, and Qin Shi Huang usually liked to listen to these words.
That's why Li Si, as the prime minister, made up such a set of remarks that seem reasonable, but are actually ridiculous.
Who is to blame for this?
"Prime Minister Li Cheng is right, Yang Dong, you will ...... in the future Don't think so. ”
Fusu can only say this, not only to protect Yang Dong, but also to protect himself, saying that Qin Shi Huang is unhappy will not benefit anyone at this time.
"Yes. Yang Dong responded, his expression calm.
"Let's go back. ”
Fusu no longer has the interest to look at it, even if he sees the problem, what can he do? It still can't be changed, the most important thing now is to win the favor of his father and ascend to the throne, and then it will be the time to change the world.
Fusu turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly the shouting of killing was loud, and hundreds of masked people were killed from the mountains and forests on all sides.
The soldiers on the periphery raised their spears to meet the enemy, and more than a dozen wooden birds flew in the air, shooting countless feather needles from the wooden birds, and the soldiers were killed one by one, and a large piece fell at once.
"Boy of the Organ Bird, it's a member of the Mo family, go quickly. ”
Li Si shouted, but he didn't panic, the dignified prince of the empire and the prime minister of the empire, how could they not have the protection of a master, and the dozen or so people who followed behind the two were all masters of the shadow guard.
These people may not be able to defeat the Mo family who committed the assassination, but it is no problem to fight their way out.
But before those shadow guard masters could move, they suddenly fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Lees's expression finally changed.
"Prime Minister, we ...... Poisoned. A Shadow Guard master said in pain.
"Poisoned?"
"If my feeling is correct, there is a poison called Manroland, which is a strange poison from southern Xinjiang, which acts on the internal strength of the human body, and once it is exercised, it will be poisonous, making people paralyzed and powerless, and being slaughtered by others. "This shadow guard was obviously also a martial arts master at the same time, and he knew a lot about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
"Manrolan, who has the chance to do this?" Fu Su frowned.
"Childe, we are among ...... There are inner ghosts. After saying the last three words, Shadow Guard fainted to the ground.
The Mo family has already rushed over, and the remaining Qin soldiers are not the opponents of the Mo family at all, and the Mo family has broken through quickly and is already about to surround Fusu and others.
"Inner ghost?" Li Si suddenly raised his head, looked at Yang Dong, who was completely fine, and said sharply, "How could you not be poisoned?"
Fu Su is sympathetic to his subordinates, those shadow guards and Yang Dong, as well as Fu Su Li Si, are all eating together, and now that the other shadow guards are poisoned, Yang Dong is fine, Li Si must be Yang Dong's troublemaker immediately.
Yang Dong originally raised his sword to guard against the Mo family who were attacking from all around, but at this time, he looked at Li Si and snorted: "Prime Minister Li Cheng is also a well-informed person, haven't you heard that Shennong is immortal and poisons are invincible?"
"You ......"
"Prime Minister Li, that's enough, don't be suspicious, Yang Dong is the master of the peasant family, how can he be so easily poisoned with a well-trained physique? If he was poisoned, he would have pretended to be poisoned like those shadow guards, how could he be like now?" Fusu reprimanded.
Li Si was speechless, seeing that the Mo family was about to come in, he hurriedly said, "Childe, let's go quickly." ”
"I can't go. Fusu looked at the Mo family around him, there were so many assassins, and the shadow guards had all lost their combat power, where could they rush out today.
"Yang Dong. Fusu grabbed Yang Dong's arm and pressed a sign on Yang Dong's hand: "Yang Dong, this is the order of the Eastern Governor given to me by my father, with it in hand, all the forces in Songhai will be deployed by you." Now you immediately rush out with it and lead the troops to exterminate the rebellion of the Mo family. ”
"Childe......" Yang Dong looked at Fusu with his eyebrows. (To be continued.) )
