Chapter 128: Tacit Understanding

Everyone said this, just to tell Qin Yi that the current political situation in Great Xia was not as simple as he imagined. Under the condition that everything is not clear, no one knows what kind of conspiracy lies behind the party struggle.

It is precisely because of this that whether it is the civilian forces, the military generals, or the various family alliances in the capital, they all want to win over Qin Yi, a well-known public figure.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a court meeting tomorrow, so I won't leave you more, please go back!"

Qin Yi has given an eviction order, and he has already expressed his thoughts to many people, and this kind of thinking cannot be persuaded by others.

In fact, those who are familiar with Qin Yi understand that once Qin Yi decides to do something, even ten strong oxen may not be able to pull it back.

When everyone heard what Qin Yi said, they had to sigh, they knew that this trip was in vain.

The sky had darkened, and everyone had left.

"Xianggong, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this, right?" Wei Zijin turned the corner of the house, and a bright lamp in his palm illuminated the ten-foot range, "The capital family, after all, is a force, if you offend them, I'm afraid it will ......"

"It's okay, if you come, you will be safe, I don't think they will come up with any tricks against me, after all, a force like the centrist is the safest. What's more, with my prestige, if they dare to do something to me, then they have to think about the consequences. ”

Qin Yi interrupted Wei Zijin's words, took the light from her hand, and turned back to his room.

Immediately, the lights in the room flickered, and the lights kept burning, Qin Yi sat down, spread out the silk book, and began to write the chapter. In the evening, he had received the order to participate in tomorrow's court meeting.

Since it is a court discussion, there must be something to discuss. In recent years, Yu Shifan's reform and many other things have long been discussed and can no longer be discussed, and they all ended up in a pending ending.

If you talk about it, Qin Yi should belong to a reformist faction, and he is more inclined to the power of military generals.

Book of the Republic of China.

These are the three words on the silk book, and that is also what Qin Yi wants to write.

When these three words met the eyes of Emperor Xia Chang of Great Xia, it was already the morning of the next day.

On the Jinluan Palace, Qin Yi, as the representative of the Tai students, stood in the center and looked up at Xia Chang on the dragon chair. At this moment, he seemed to have a sense of déjà vu, the emperor in front of him was his half-brother, but he didn't dare to tell this secret.

The ghost capital made him understand that the turbulent undercurrent behind Great Xia might be related to this.

"Tai student Qin Yi, see my emperor."

"No courtesy." Xia Chang raised his hand to signal, he had already got Qin Yi's recital in his hand, "I have read Aiqing's recital today, and I will read it in public with the eunuch in front of the emperor!" ”

When the words fell, a eunuch took over Qin Yi's performance from Xia Chang's hands.

This is the practice of court discussions, but whenever there is a recital, it must be recited in public to facilitate the discussion of the ministers.

"The book of the Republic of China, the sage cloud, there is no country without the people, therefore, the people are the foundation of the country."

The first sentence was plain, but in the ears of many ministers, it was another irony. Some officials, as if they smelled something, couldn't help but look gloomy, and the sound of sinus sinus shattering gradually sounded.

"Chenben cloth, ploughed in Xining, and later entered the imperial examination, so he is familiar with the world, the geography and humanities of the country, and many things are heard. Outside, the Northern Huns, the Western Regions, the Eastern Ying, and the Southern Barbarians were restless until the Battle of the Western Regions a few years ago; There are civil uprisings, uprisings, and party struggles, so many of them, so the national strength is not strong. There are many maladministrations, because of the redundant officials, and the people are not the foundation! ”

As soon as this paragraph was finished, someone in the Jinluan Hall stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in such a peaceful and prosperous world, Qin Yi dares to say that the Quartet is restless and the Huanyu is not pure, this is clearly slandering the court!" Please give an edict to remove Qin Yi's fame and kill him to set an example! ”

As soon as these words came out, the court exploded.

"Lord Zhang, this is wrong, the civil uprising in Yizhou has not yet been pacified, how can you say that it is peaceful and prosperous?"

"Lord Zhang, there is no silver in the treasury now, do you know why? That's all because the money in the treasury has been taken out to help the disaster and quell the rebellion! ”

"Yoh? If there is no silver in the treasury, isn't it a peaceful and prosperous world? Look at the current Jizhou City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which family is not living and working in peace and contentment? ”

When Qin Yi heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, he took a step forward, and said, "Your Majesty, you have been in this deep palace all day long, and you have never gone out to see the common people, nor have you sought truth from facts to understand, are the people of Jizhou City living and working in peace and contentment, or are they hungry on the road?" Everything is just a whitewashed peace on top of the twists and turns! ”

"Shhhh

When many ministers heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, this Qin Yi dared to tell such a big truth, wasn't he afraid that the many officials present would make trouble for him?

"The people are the foundation of the country!"

Qin Yi continued, this sentence was sonorous and powerful.

Xia Chang, who was above the main hall, also frowned, and couldn't help but say sharply: "The court discussion, there should be a discussion!" Go on! ”

"Yes!" After everyone quieted down, the imperial eunuch continued, "The people are the foundation of the country. If there are no people, how can they come to the country? All the people are one country, so the order should be put first by the people. ”

"First, the abolition of the national tax. The prosperity of the country and the strength of the people lie in the fact that the people get rich first, and if the people are not rich, the country will not be rich. The people of Daxia have a total of more than 30 kinds of taxes, and the people's tax is the most. Three taels of silver a year for a people, a lot! ”

The imperial eunuch began to read about Qin Yi's specific measures.

From the founding of the country to the present, Bactria has imposed a variety of taxes on the people, and there are more than 30 kinds. The basic theory of these taxes is to enrich the treasury, but in fact, only one percent of these silver is received from the treasury, and the specific place is naturally embezzled by the officials below.

What is Civil Tax? It's a tax that a person has to pay, whether you have money or not. In the Great Xia, men, women, and children, as long as they were individuals, they had to pay this kind of tax called the civil tax, and it had to be three taels of silver.

Sometimes, poor families, all year round, the income will not exceed three taels. Because of this, this kind of tax has largely restricted the development of the labor force in Bactria.

This kind of unreasonable taxation must naturally be abolished, otherwise the civil unrest will become more and more violent.

As soon as such a measure was said by the imperial eunuch, Qin Yi heard some people sigh, as if he was approving Qin Yi's move. Or rather, it is a tacit understanding that is not obvious.
