Chapter 394: Buying People's Hearts

In the hall of the dragon and the phoenix, the golden tables and chairs are shining at the highest end, and most of the ministers in the past have gathered here.

It's just that the world of Baiyun Canggou has changed, and the person who sat at the top in the past is now stunned and at a loss to stand in the center of the ministers at the bottom of the group, which makes people laugh for a while.

"Participate in Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty Long Live ~!"

In the main hall, there was a familiar sound of worship, but the characters at the moment of worship were not the same, and the objects of worship were not similar.

Among the kneeling crowd below, there was one person who stood abruptly and conspicuously, and he stood so stupidly that he did not have the slightest intention of bowing down to the victorious emperor above. Perhaps, he didn't want to kneel, because after all, he had been an emperor for decades, and his face was there; Perhaps, he is stupid and does not know how to kneel, the king of the dead country, this title sounds so desolate and sad.

"Bold, Mu... Yung ...... Why don't you kneel~! ”

When a small eunuch in front of Meng Li saw a standing figure below, he was very shocked, so he shouted out directly. But then, after he saw who was below, the words were muddy and not very clear, this was the person he had dreamed of approaching before, although his status was now very good, but when he saw the old master, he still stumbled and didn't dare to reprimand him.

"Okay, Zhong Aiqing, no courtesy, let's be flat~!"

Seeing the lonely figure below, Meng Li just smiled and then withdrew the little eunuch who was now trembling a little. This little eunuch was selected directly by him from the palace, and he had only been in the palace for three months. In addition, Meng Li was not good at taking these eunuchs with him during the march, so he ordered him to be his own 'shocking wood' in the future.

In fact. is different from the little eunuch who was still confused and didn't see who was below for the first time. He had already seen who this person was, the last emperor of the former Qin, a sad man, who seemed to be delirious, and he couldn't afford to vomit with such a fool.

"Your Majesty Xie~"

After hearing Meng Li's voice, the ministers below got up with their hands on the ground. Although it is said that the Han Kingdom bows on weekdays, but today is different, first, it is natural that today's court meeting is different from the past. It is mixed with these former Qin ministers, if you still have to bow down, it will make these former Qin ministers who are used to kneeling and kneeling relax in their hearts and despise the Han Kingdom; Second, that is, today's court meeting can be regarded as very grand and grand, although the official eunuchs of the Han Kingdom generally do not kneel, but on some very important occasions, they still have these customs, so today's kneeling ceremony was agreed.

Slightly glancing at the ministers who had already gotten up below, the generals led by Zhang Liao were naturally in straight uniforms. The military posture is excellent, and the subordinates of the former Qin, although the depraved habits in the past have made them unable to make any good gestures, but in order to leave a good impression on the new emperor. One by one, they still puffed up their chests as much as possible, looking ahead, giving the emperor a sense of majesty. So that after being noticed by the emperor, he can once again enjoy the luxury of the past.

"Today. The opening of Jincheng City can be described as a great joy. Happy days, naturally, it is not suitable to let the blood of the past fill the entire Jincheng, so I amnesty Jincheng for three days of carnival, all expenses, the treasury will come out~! ”

After glancing around the officials who pretended to be looking ahead and wanted to listen carefully to the leader's speech, Meng Li smiled slightly and recounted his first plan.

It is a bit too much to say that the treasury of the former Qin is really full, to be honest, if it is not compared to the accumulation, the Han Kingdom will definitely not be able to compare with the treasures of the former Qin. And after seeing the rich treasury that provided the books, Meng Li was shocked, good guy, he is still a poor man in this year, the Han Kingdom, which has been inherited for thousands of years~!

This former Qin was almost two provinces smaller than the Han Kingdom, and the population was less than 10 million, but the annual taxes and silver spent were several times more than those of the Han Kingdom.

To put it simply, if the Han Kingdom belongs to the kind of really powerful children who have money in the family but spend little on themselves, then the former Qin belongs to the kind of situation where the father is a nouveau riche and the son is a waster.

In terms of taxes, Qianqin, which has so much less land and population, actually has three times more tax revenue a year than the Han Kingdom~! You must know that although the Han Kingdom does not dare to call it a vast land, but after hundreds of years of development, the population has reached an extreme saturation, in this case, the tax revenue of the former Qin is still more than three times more than that of the Han Kingdom, so how heavy should their taxes be~!

Ten taxes and four~!

What a quiet figure this is, the common people work for a year, and as a result, they have to pay forty percent of the tax, such a heavy tax, it is no wonder that the people of the former Qin were not so desperate in defense when the Han army attacked the city.

Therefore, Meng Li, who knew about this situation, first paid for it from the treasury to let the people enjoy good food and drink for three days.

The role is naturally that Meng Weishan wants to help the people get through the impact of the war caused by the war some time ago, which of course also contains candy cannonballs, and he wants to blow up the Gundam image of the ruler of Qianqin in the hearts of the people in one fell swoop. Let the remnants of the former Qin who will recite the restoration of the country in the future will not be supported by ordinary people.

Let's talk about the expenses of the former Qin, so many taxes every year, according to the Han royal family, then the entire palace has long been full, but it is really appalling that it can't stop people's expenses.

It is said that every stone in the Imperial Garden was brought from the far south.

As for why? Naturally, someone admonished the emperor, the stones in the south are good, what is this effect, that effect, the emperor's ears and eyes are spent, and then, naturally, it is a big hand, luck~!

Then the convoy began their journey, as if they were exchanging silver for stones.

This is just a luxury in the former Qin, as for the construction of the palace, women's expenses naturally account for the lion's share.

"Your Majesty is merciful~!"

Meng Li's act of borrowing money to buy people's hearts was heard by the former Qin ministers below, and immediately knelt on the ground and sang an ode, praising the greatness and excellence of the emperor.

"Flat body~"

The following subordinate said, according to Meng Li's long-tempered face, he couldn't hang it anymore, and if he let them continue, maybe the cheeky and deep Meng Li would hide his face and run away. (To be continued......)
