Chapter Seventy-One: The Sixth Year of the First Emperor
In the county guard study, Meng Yi knelt down on one knee and reported to Ying Zhengyu.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, everyone and others have all been arrested and brought to justice, and the wealth in the hands of these people is already being investigated."
"Kill all those people at the city gate of Handan County, and in ten days, count the wealth that has been found, and after ten days, I will return to Xianyang!"
Ying Zheng's voice is still as indifferent and indifferent as ever, like a river in winter, which makes people feel a chill in the sky.
"Let Xu Cheng cooperate with you and personally go to count these things, which will be a huge support for the construction of spiritual canals, straight roads, galloping roads and other projects."
"No!"
Meng Yi agreed, and it was better to count the huge wealth of these wealthy businessmen with Xu Cheng, a beautiful woman of a peerless age, than to count the amount with a group of white-haired bookkeepers.
After Meng Yi left, Ying Zheng slowly opened his pitch-black eyes, which seemed to contain the sun, moon and stars, including all things in heaven and earth.
Daqin, under his efforts to change, is full of vitality, these big wealth, will give him Daqin, unparalleled support, let him build the spirit canal, straight road, galloping speed, become faster.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the bloody storm in Handan County finally came to an end.
Although there were countless casualties in this big change, it also made Handan County full of vitality.
In the study, Ying Zheng looked at the huge amount in his hand lightly, which was enough to withstand the amount of taxes paid by his Great Qin Empire for three years.
Instead of showing joy, his face became even colder.
How much money and food these people have devoured from Daqin, they have been corrupt to this point, they are so corrupt, and they have done evil things for some money, it is simply too many to write!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty once traveled to the thirty-six counties of Great Qin, and now the situation of the counties of Great Qin is no different from Handan."
Wang Jian said in a low voice and sighed slowly.
"General Wang, in this life, you still need to use heavy codes, otherwise, there will always be some people who will never be able to eat and wear clothes."
Ying Zheng's eyes became colder and colder.
"What Your Majesty said is good, only by killing can they know what can be done and what cannot be done!"
"Then let these people from the thirty-six counties of Great Qin take a look at my Great Qin's steel knife, and it's not good!"
The killing aura on Wang Qian's body bloomed, he will always be the blade in Yingzheng's hands, where His Majesty the Emperor tells him to go, he will go, even if he will never return!
"Hahahaha,"
Ying Zheng laughed, even he had to admire Wang Qian's caution.
The cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, the birds were exhausted, and the good bow was hidden, with Wang Qian's wisdom and loyalty, it would definitely not appear in him.
In Ying Zheng's heart, a nameless fire suddenly rose, and when he returned to Xianyang, he would definitely collect all these big corrupt and perverted laws.
.......
In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng looked at the civil and military ministers below lightly, his expression was as indifferent as ever, but the coldness in his eyes made these ministers silent.
"I have worked hard in Handan County these days, but although Handan County and his party have wiped out all the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, they have also discovered how crazy the rich merchants in the 36 counties of my Great Qin Empire are!"
Below, there was a chill on everyone's body, from the outside to the inside, entering the body, making these ministers shiver involuntarily.
His Majesty the First Emperor has just opened a killing ring in Handan County, is it possible that now this killing ring will flow through all the thirty-six counties of Great Qin?
Ying Zheng looked directly at the ministers below and continued to speak.
"I have decided that among the thirty-six counties of Great Qin, those big households who are rich and unkind will be arrested, their property will be confiscated, and they will be put into the treasury, since they can't contribute to my Great Qin, then let their wealth contribute to my Great Qin!"
"Of course, if they are law-abiding businessmen, they will naturally not be sanctioned by my Great Qin, but will be protected, and I will give them the greatest help and support."
Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers below, and said coldly, if it were someone else, it would naturally be difficult to do this thing.
It can be said that it is as difficult as the sky, and the rich businessmen, big households, and officials in various counties collude, which is a terrifying network of relationships.
Only he, the first emperor who shocked the world and destroyed the Six Kingdoms, could easily complete this matter.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, this matter can be said to offend my Great Qin, ninety percent of the rich businessmen."
Li Si stepped forward, worried, recently, His Majesty the First Emperor did something, he was surprised.
Now that the empire is not stable, doing so will jeopardize the empire's rule.
"Does the prime minister want to see with his own eyes that my Great Qin's financial resources are swallowed up by these rich businessmen?"
Ying Zheng's gaze was still cold, without a trace of abatement.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, at this time, it is better to slowly figure it out, if it is executed in the thirty-six counties all of a sudden, as Prime Minister Li Si said, I am Daqin, I am afraid that it will indeed be turbulent."
Feng Quji stood up and admonished, he and Li Si are both great talents in the world, and there are some problems, so they naturally look far-reaching.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, if it is during the period of stability of the empire, it is understandable for my Great Qin to do this, but now that I Great Qin, I am building several major projects such as spiritual canals, straight roads, and galloping roads, if it is such a big move, Great Qin, I am afraid it will be turbulent. ”
Feng Qujian said again, his words made Ying Zheng's eyes sink slightly.
"Then what does Prime Minister Feng think?"
Ying Zheng's dark eyes looked at Feng Quji.
"Your Majesty thinks that the collection of these people's ill-gotten gains should be postponed first, and when the straight road, galloping road, and spiritual canal of my Great Qin are all completed, then this matter will be implemented, and it will not be too late."
Ying Zheng looked at the many ministers below, echoing him, and couldn't help frowning.
Today's Great Qin is indeed a little overwhelmed, if it is arrested and killed on such a large scale, I am afraid that the country will be in turmoil.
As far as his mind goes, Yingzheng's heart has already been broken.
"Daqin's project must be built, but this matter cannot be left behind, but it can be like Prime Minister Zuo, slowly plotting it, starting from a county. ”
"The rich businessmen in the thirty-six counties must be investigated and killed, and those who are insatiable and devour my Great Qin's money!"
Ying Zheng made a final decision, and the people below naturally didn't dare to say much.
The things decided by the first emperor gave them 10,000 courages, and they did not dare to disobey, and those who disobeyed became dry bones in the grave, and they were already dead and had no place to be buried.
Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng looked at the progress of the Lingqu, the straight road, and the galloping road, and couldn't help but nodded, according to this progress, I am afraid that it will not take three years to complete.
For the rest of the day, all he had left was to wait.
Xiang Yu is dead, and Liu Ji has also become an official of his Great Qin, as for talents like Han Xin and Xiao He, they can only be used by him Great Qin.
With him and his suppression, Daqin will definitely not be able to turn over anything.
........
Time passes, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed, and at this time, it is already the sixth year that His Majesty the First Emperor has ruled the world and conquered the Six Kingdoms.
In Xianyang Palace, Yingzheng is still tirelessly reviewing and revising.
Three years of time have made his personality more calm, old and spicy, and his dark eyes, and no one can see a trace of emotion in it.
