Things in the world, there is white and black, compared with Yu Zhou who is in honey, the life of the native Qianshou people is becoming more and more bitter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The gap between the two Dasuo was not long, and it told many people a message: a handful of rebels brushed Daqin's tiger whiskers.

Da Suo is also an opportunity to spread the word for a lot, first the auditors exchanged heads, then they scrambled to ask, and finally the whole world was looking forward to seeing what happened to this group of people.

As a result, they were all disappointed, the Qin army, which had won a hundred battles, had nothing to gain, and the high-ranking doctors, secretaries, and soldiers had nothing to do, and even His Majesty the Emperor, who was angry and bowed down for hundreds of miles, could only swallow the fire back into his stomach.

Letting a tyrannical dragon suffer is tantamount to a slap in the face, the authority in Yingzheng's hands is getting heavier and heavier, that is to say, the space for willfulness is getting bigger and bigger, since you can't bow down for a hundred miles, then bleed for thousands of miles......

The tax rate set from the beginning of Shang Yang has changed, one stone per mu and five buckets and half a bucket is very close to the tax one, and the Qianmo leniency left by the first king can not be moved, so add some other names, miscellaneous people, Lu Shu tax pay more and more, a year down, many places to the point that men are not enough to plough food, and women are not enough to spin clothes.

Not only that, in Ying Zheng's view, the killing of the county lieutenant was a dereliction of duty on the part of the county order, and the government was troubled because the county guard was incompetent, and the whole army still had nothing to gain...... Whose responsibility is it?

Afraid that someone would criticize him, Yingzheng quickly issued an imperial decree: those who slander and curse will cut off their tongues.

The result of the decree was very satisfactory - the number of three-person companions on the road soon became very few.

The mouth of the people is more than the mouth of the people, you are the first emperor of the world, Yingzheng forgot this sentence, or he no longer needs to carefully consider the feelings of others.

I can't speak, the burden on my shoulders is endless, the young son in the family is waiting to be fed, and soon there will be a poor guy who will take the lead in becoming a fugitive.

There is a car in front and a rut in the back, the power of example is endless, and more and more people are abandoning their homes and fleeing, so the guys who sit in the row complain.

You must know that the lightest penalty is as much as 1,300 yuan when converted into Qin half taels, and even the old Qin people in the army can't afford it, and this is an astronomical amount for ordinary people who lack food and salary due to heavy cultivation.

Syllable!

"Bastard, more than a dozen people in Yangcheng have fled one after another, and this time the whole army escaped, Prime Minister Li, what do you think?"

Li Si, who was over seventy years old, replied: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister, it is better to sin his hometown, and the strict punishment is a commandment of the world." ”

Ying Zheng impatiently pushed away the bamboo slip: "Last time when Yangcheng escaped a few people, Prime Minister Li Cheng said so, after the result is punished, this time it will be a team, so what about next time?" A tun? Or is it one? ”

If someone else comes to ask, Li Si has a hundred words to go back, and now he is complaining about the emperor, who is becoming more and more strange than the previous kings, and his mind is becoming more and more difficult to guess, Li Si is bound to answer, no way is better than saying the wrong thing, right? Who can guarantee that they won't run again next time?

Yingzheng, who couldn't get a response, was even more irritable, turned his head and asked the other person next to him: "Meng Qing, what do you think?" ”

Meng Yi hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, the views of the minister and the prime minister are slightly different, although the law must be followed, it may not be appropriate to blindly impose it on the people, you must know that the bow is relaxed......"

Li Si interrupted: "Is there a degree of relaxation? Did General Ling Brother Meng do the same in Mobei? ”

Meng Yi bowed: "The military on the battlefield is the duty of the captain, after my brother leaves office, only His Majesty has the right to know, Meng Yi is not talented, he does not dare to trespass, and my brother has never mentioned anything in the army!" ”

Li Si shook his gray hair, patted Meng Yi and said: "Why is Meng Shangqing so excited, the old man just said casually, when people are old, their memory is poor, ask the wrong person......"

Meng Yi squinted his eyes, compared to before, Li Si's courage was indeed much more restrained, but if he had a poor memory, he couldn't believe it. Li Si's style has changed, and he is better at hiding needles in the cotton, and he thinks that he is old, and the grave can not be found.

"Prime Minister is serious, Daqin still depends on you to be at the helm......"

Li Si stroked his beard and smiled, suddenly saw Yingzheng's displeased eyes, and hurriedly said: "Daqin belongs to His Majesty, and the old minister is just a cultivator who is driven by his head......"

"Okay, okay, I know, you haven't said how to deal with Yangcheng yet."

"Your Majesty, do you want to ...... Thorn for the city? ”

Ying Zheng glared at Li Si: "I am asking, how to avoid it in the future?!" It's easy to send dozens of people today, and then there are more escapes? Distribute the whole li, the whole township? ”

Li Si waved at the sky: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and it is right to do everything on behalf of the herdsmen of Heaven, if the laws of Great Qin are not practiced because of the many offenders, where is the prestige of the Son of Heaven?" ”

At this moment, Qin Huang's frame shook suddenly, and the three of them stumbled at the same time, Meng Yi listened to the sound outside, not like he was in danger, pushed the car door and asked, "What happened?" ”

"Your Majesty—Your Majesty! What a victory! ”

If there was a problem with the royal car, he should have been held accountable for the order of the car, but Zhao Gao didn't mean to be scared at all, and crawled to the royal car with a scroll of letters, and before the person stopped, he hurriedly knelt down and took a few steps on his knees to show respect.

Meng Yi glanced at Zhao Gao on the ground in disgust, turned back to the car and said, "Your Majesty, it was the CRRC government order to report the victory." ”

There are troubles everywhere, Ying Zheng has long wanted to change his mood, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Where is the happy event?" Hurry up! ”

When the emperor flipped through the letters, Li Si was holding his sleeves with his old gods, as if everything in front of him was not so important, Zhao Gao winked at Meng Yi a few times, but was ignored by this Shangqing.

"Good! Hahaha, General Meng is really good, he actually killed more than 10,000 Hun elite horsemen in a place where there is no city to rely on, well, meritorious service should be rewarded! ”

Although their hearts were not so happy, Li Si and Zhao Gao still shouted in unison: "Cai! ”

Ying Zheng laughed roughly, softened his face and asked, "Meng Qing, does your brother have any special preferences?" What is more pleasing to him? ”

The last time in the past and present has always been to you from above and below to hold it, it is very rare to have a discussion, and it is even rarer to put it on an emperor like Yingzheng Sure enough, when he opened his mouth, Li Si s smile stiffened slightly, but Zhao Gao greeted Meng Yi more eagerly.

"By His Majesty's grace, my brother is more indifferent to money and prefers a little tricky and obscene, if there is a gain in this area, he must be very happy."

"Organs?"

Zhao Gao's face was full of spring breeze when he explained: "Your Majesty, you see, the wolf pen we are using now is improved by General Meng and his wife, as well as the zither ......."

Ying Zheng filmed the case: "What's so difficult about this, I immediately ordered to collect the folk KitKat organs!" ”

Meng Yi didn't want to dwell on this issue, and taking advantage of the king's good mood, he leaned over and bowed: "The minister just thought of a way to relieve His Majesty's worries. ”

"Meng Qing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Your Majesty's tax hike and strict law are just for the people to perform their duties and learn less from the traitorous acts.

In the past, King Yu still had a blockage to control the water, it was better to sparse it, not to mention the world's leisurely mouths?

It has been blocked and will not be changed, because the change of the order will damage His Majesty's prestige, and what the minister thinks of is a way to sort out. ”

Ying Zheng never wanted to overturn his previous decision all at once, and after listening to Meng Yi's words, his face softened: "Will the plan come out?" ”

"Pay the conscripts!"

Li Si was dumbfounded, and he froze for a moment before he came back to his senses, and raised his voice and asked, "Meng Shangqing, do you know what you're talking about?" Do you know how many servants there are in Lishan......

"What Meng Yi said is not only about Lishan, but also about the ...... of conscription in the whole world"

This time, Yingzheng couldn't sit still: "Meng Qing, I know that you have always been soft-hearted, but there are tens of millions of servants in the world, how can you afford it with only state funds!" ”

Meng Yi continued to pray:

"Your Majesty, you don't need to bear the burden of the state treasury, just let the servant bear it himself."

"Let's talk about it!"

When the matter came to an end, Meng Yi also let it go: "Prime Minister Li Cheng's strategy of adding endowments is unparalleled, and it will add a lot of input to the treasury at once, but how many people in the world can afford it?" ”

Li Si was displeased: "Then no one refutes ......"

"Because the tongue that dared to refute was cut, the rest had already run into the mountains, and all of this was thanks to you, Prime Minister Li Cheng!"

"You...... You...... The old man doesn't share it with you! Hum! ”

Meng Yi wasn't stupid, he knew that these were His Majesty's wills. Dare to say that the king is not, then the next thing will only be half the result, so Meng Yi covered all the mistakes on Li Si, the courtiers, just for the sake of the king's resistance.

"The people can't afford it, Daqin's income looks high, but Tian Fu is declining every year, Prime Minister Li, you don't know this, right?

So dare to ask, if this goes on like this, in another twenty years, how many people will plant the fertile land in the world, and where will the soldiers of Daqin get the money and food to support! ”

"In less than twenty years, we can repair the ...... year after year"

"What about the human heart? Can you put it away immediately, too? The hearts of the people in the world are exclusive to the king, and the injury is to shake the monarchy! ”

Li Si didn't pick up the stubble, what he said was simply heartbreaking, no matter how he said it, the best result was also a lose-lose situation, it was better to listen to Meng Yi's words below to find him a loophole.

Meng Yi rebuked Li Si, turned to Emperor Qin and bowed: "Your Majesty doesn't need to pay an extra penny, and you don't need the treasury to open another name, the minister only asks for a little, from now on, the levy can be used as a substitute for crime......"

Ying Zheng was a little puzzled: "What does this mean?" ”

"For example, if a person should be fined one according to the law, he will be converted according to the heaviest, which is equivalent to half two thousand five hundred and sixty yuan.

If the person has no money in the family, then he will be used as a servant, and he will bring his own food for eight yuan a day, and six yuan a day without food.

Until he pays off what he owes to the state, he will be forgiven......"

After listening to Meng Yi's advice, Yingzheng didn't feel much distressed, he only calculated that he could have many more servants, Lishan could be completed as soon as possible, and the Chidao could be repaired as soon as possible, including the matter of Meng Tian's letter request, it can also be started together!

Seeing that the emperor was a little tempted, Li Si objected: "Your Majesty can't!" Speaking of which, this is still a loss of national funds, and next year's annual income will definitely be greatly reduced! ”

Meng Yi argued: "The income is less, but the people's hearts are stable, and the people's strength has recuperated, so that my Daqin's country can be more stable......

Besides, since when did confiscated shields count as a tax? ”

It's not that Emperor Qin doesn't know how to calculate this account of entering and exiting, but he agrees more with what Meng Yi said about recuperating the people's strength, hunting, and not logging and not bringing dogs in February, now it seems to be a bit heavy?

Holding the letter in his hand, Ying Zheng finally made a decision: "Accurate!" ”

"For all the people of the world, thank you for Your Majesty's grace!"

The matter has been decided, Li Si is not good to say anything, he is vaguely uneasy in his heart, thinking about the changes before and after this move.

"I'm tired, Meng Qing, you are here to serve, Prime Minister Li and Zhao Gao all step down......"

Li Zhao and the two glanced at each other, and retreated one after another, as soon as they arrived outside the car, Li Si couldn't wait to ask Zhao Gao: "In General Meng's letter, what did he say besides reporting victory?" ”

Zhao Gao had a good temper with a smile, and his shrill voice was particularly harsh: "Prime Minister Li Cheng can go and ask Your Majesty, I don't dare to talk about military politics." ”

was squeezed by a person, Li Si laughed angrily: "CRRC Ling, do you think you can go through Montessori's door?" Don't you see how Meng Yi treats you coldly, why don't you have a good relationship with the old man! ”

Zhao Gao's eyes rolled: "Your Majesty will inform the prime minister of this matter sooner or later, why bother......"

"Your Majesty told me that it was a political matter, and CRRC Ling first said that it was Li Si who owed a personal favor......"

After getting the promise of the current dynasty, Zhao Gao didn't dare to take it anymore: "General Meng asked to rebuild the Great Wall barrier in the land of Yan and Zhao, and I heard that it will be directly connected from Liaodong to the hinterland of Lao Qin, and it will stretch for thousands of miles to resist the Huns!" ”

Li Si's face became more and more ugly, a few fugitives were just scabies compared to the Huns, and they were used to defend against foreign enemies, needless to say, this kind of major event related to the military state was particularly important, if he just knew the news, why was he so passive and embarrassed in front of the emperor just now?

"The old man is old, his ears are not good, and his old eyes are also dim, if he doesn't dislike it, can he take care of it in the future?"

At this time, Li Si was no longer a small official who had just entered Qin, let alone a foreigner walking under Lu Buwei's door, and the high-spirited spirit of the book "Exhortation to the Guest" was gone, and he was in a high position, and he knew how appropriate the four words were like walking on thin ice.

These words were said very explicitly, almost clearly needed a pair of eyes and ears, Zhao Gao accepted with a smile: "How dare you disobey." ”

……

……

On top of the royal car, Yingzheng, who waved away Li Si, did not sleep, the emperor's burning gaze was unbearable, and Meng Yi was uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to ask.

"Close the window and door ......"

"Whoa!"

Meng Yi turned around and found that the emperor had taken off his crown, looking at a bamboo slip unfolded in his hand and frowning and thinking.

"Someone wants my life!"

Meng Yi was shocked, knelt down and asked in a trembling voice: "Why did Your Majesty say this!" ”

Ying Zheng smiled, the laughter was almost inaudible, but that look was very presumptuous: "Even you don't dare to tell the truth, I have heard about it for a long time, what, you have to tell me, don't you know anything?" ”

"Meng Yi didn't dare, the minister ...... I did hear a little. ”

"Well, that's right, there are fewer and fewer people who can be trusted, but I will never forget the hero who got rid of Lü Buwei together, your brother, who was born in the same year as me, right?"

"Yes! Your Majesty, despite your commands, Meng Yi will never give up, and he will solve the king's worries! ”

A raptor came to reminisce a little scary, Meng Yi didn't dare to rely on grace to have the slightest arrogance, sure enough, Ying Zheng never had a loss in his eyes, and said with satisfaction: "Find this person, or this group of people, I will allow you to ask for today, maybe what your brother wants." ”

Meng Yi replied with a big salute: "Minister, you will live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" ”
