Chapter 423: The Gap Between North and South
Ying Zheng flipped through these recitals, his voice was calm, but it made their bodies tremble slightly.
"Qingrui is too tolerant of you? Or are you giving Qing Rui a chance to directly deprive her of your rights as a clan in the future? Ying Zheng looked at them lightly.
At present, there is no shortage of food, and the fields are no longer allowed to be sold privately under the heavy pressure of the imperial court, so they do not annex the fields.
Reaching out to the business one by one, if they were honest, even if they made a small mistake, he would not be so angry.
Look at what they did one by one, conniving at their subordinates to evade taxes, reduce the tax revenue of the imperial court, and even cheat on taxes.
In addition to these, he also relied on the status of the emperor's relatives to collect other people's benefits outside, shelter them, and help them evade taxes.
At present, they are not doing much, which is why Zhao Qingrui has not taken action to clean them up.
Ying Zheng's words made their faces pale one by one.
"Father, the son knows that he is wrong." My father found out these things, and the evidence was conclusive, and they were a little scared now when he said this.
Zhao Qingrui didn't grow up with them, and only a few of them had a good relationship with her.
They can guarantee that as long as they have done it, she will definitely clean them up as soon as possible, and she will not be relentless.
"Go and kneel outside Zhangtai Palace for an hour, and when you go back, make up for the leaks, and stay away from those who are not careful." Ying Zheng said lightly.
He didn't want to see his children fratricidal, and Ying Zheng was very disappointed in what they did.
A few people didn't dare to refute, at this time they just wanted to take themselves out, and they were beaten by their father, and they were also scared.
Although they made a lot of money before, if it happened, they would definitely be cleaned up by the little sister, and it is estimated that it is normal to be empty of people and money.
Little sister really dares to kill, even Hu Hai, who is favored by her father, can be exiled everywhere, they don't want to be like Hu Hai, who died in exile, and after death, they can only be buried in a remote corner of the imperial mausoleum.
When Li Si came to report on his work, he saw the son who was kneeling outside, as the person in charge of the household department, Li Si naturally knew what these people were doing.
His Majesty also knows that he has not made a fuss against these brothers and sisters, mainly because they have not dared to do too much now.
Seeing Li Si, the sons were also a little embarrassed.
After Li Si gave up, he entered the Zhangtai Palace.
There was only the sound of flipping books in Zhangtai Palace, and when Li Si came in, he saw Yingzheng looking at the situation of commercial taxes and land endowments.
"What?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si lightly.
"Back to the Emperor, this is the expenditure plan that His Majesty needs to prepare to dig the river, please ask the Emperor to decide." Li Si took out the expenditure plan needed for the river excavation and presented it to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took it and looked at it, Zhao Qingrui wanted to dig the river, Ying Zheng knew, as he looked at it, Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasp, this girl wanted to let go and do a big job.
There is indeed a shortage of water in the north, and if there is a drought, there are often problems in the north, and grain harvest failures are even more common.
The project was also too large, and a large amount of gunpowder was needed to open the mountain, and the project was kept to a minimum.
Looking at the expenditure of this item, Ying Zheng's scalp is a little numb, so much money, one can't handle it well, but something big will happen.
"This plan will be put aside for now, and a decision will be made tomorrow after discussing it with the courtiers." This matter cannot be decided directly and easily.
"No." Li Si did not refute, this is indeed a big deal, and it is not something that can be decided at this time.
Zhao Qingrui received Yingzheng's video, and after knowing that he had beaten those brothers, she just raised her eyebrows slightly, and she was not surprised.
For her, those half-brothers who are not very close, and for Yingzheng, these are his own sons, but they are still different in the end.
"Father is also doing this for the sake of his brother, which is a good thing." Zhao Qingrui said happily.
"Don't pat yourself on the back, don't you know you yet, aren't you just to feed their ambitions, Qingrui, they are your brothers, they are the ones who can help you in the future, don't be too ruthless to them." Ying Zheng glanced at her, and then persuaded her.
"I know all of this, but when they were doing these things, did they think about me and Daqin? They just don't have to go too far, and I don't have time to clean them up. Zhao Qingrui pouted, his father still attaches great importance to family affection.
"Yes, yes, it's the widow who blames you." Ying Zheng chuckled, looking at his daughter pouting and looking jealous, Ying Zheng also softened his heart.
"Hmph, I thought that my father would ignore my daughter for the sake of his brothers." Zhao Qingrui snorted arrogantly, the maintenance of feelings is mutual, and she doesn't want to have any suspicion with her father.
"How is it possible, you are the most beloved daughter of the widow, and no one can compare to you." Ying Zheng immediately said seriously.
Now Zhao Qingrui's status in his heart is indeed incomparable to anyone.
"Really?" Zhao Qingrui doesn't really want to have trouble with Ying Zheng.
"Naturally it's true, when did the widow lie to you?" Ying Zheng saw that Zhao Qingrui didn't have a small temper, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his daughter was different from his son, she was delicate and soft, and he was reluctant to say anything serious.
"That's pretty much it."
"By the way, are you really going to make that plan for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project? With such a huge expenditure, the impact on Daqin is not small. Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui, wanting to see a little hesitation on her face.
It's a pity that he was disappointed, and Zhao Qingrui's expression didn't change much.
"Yes, the climate in the north is dry, water is scarce, and the south-to-north water diversion plan is also to balance the entire Daqin, and I also hope that the north can develop similar to the south, and I don't want there to be too much deviation."
"My father should have also seen the taxes of the imperial court, the gap between the north and the south is not small, and as time goes by, this gap will gradually widen."
"If it weren't for the fact that Daqin hadn't settled down now, I would have wanted to move the capital, directly move the political center of Daqin to the north, and use politics to drive the economy." Zhao Qingrui sighed and slowly talked about her plans.
Hearing that Zhao Qingrui even wanted to move the capital, Ying Zheng's heart jumped.
Xianyang is the capital of Daqin for more than 100 years, and moving the capital is not a trivial matter.
However, Zhao Qingrui's words made him fall into contemplation, indeed, the gap between the two places is not small, it is not easy to develop the north and the south, moving the capital to the north will definitely greatly drive the economy there.
But when he moved the capital, he still had a deep affection for Xianyang, and Xianyang was of great significance to the entire Great Qin.
From the time of Qin Xiaogong, Shang Ying moved the capital from Yongcheng to Xianyang in order to change the law and get rid of the interference of the old aristocratic forces.
At this point, Great Qin began to rise rapidly.
"It's still early to move the capital, so don't rush." Ying Zheng said seriously, but she did not object to Zhao Qingrui's relocation of the capital, she also did this to make Daqin better.
"I understand, my father can rest assured." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
She knows all these in her heart, besides, Xianyang New Town has only been built now, or is it new, and she hasn't lived enough.
It is also a big project to move the capital, and at present, it is mainly about the south-to-north water diversion project, and the matter of moving the capital will be discussed later.
She also has long considered the matter of moving the capital, and the gap between the north and the south abounds in history, especially in the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Di moved the capital, it can be said that it made up for the gap between the north and the south to a large extent.
Standing on the shoulders of the giants of history, she knows better than Yingzheng the gap between the north and the south, and the negative impact it will bring.
What she needs to do is try to bridge the gap between the two places.
After chatting with Zhao Qingrui, Ying Zheng looked up the tax situation again and began to look at it.
Before, he also noticed some tax gaps between the north and the south, but he didn't think about it so much, and now that his daughter mentioned it, he also understood the impact of the gap between the north and the south, and even a little afraid.
Fortunately, her daughter found out about this problem and solved the unstable factors for Daqin.
In his spare time, Ying Zheng thought of Fusu again, if Fusu sat in the position of Qin II, would he be able to find these problems?
Probably not, Fusu's cronies Confucianism was fooled and lame by those people, and now it is a little better, and this is also Zhao Qingrui's beating that made him understand these things.
If he hadn't let his daughter return to Xianyang, if he had let Fusu manage Daqin after he had gone to the immortals, Daqin would definitely not have the prosperity it has today.
There were a lot of problems in Daqin, and I am afraid that it was enough to make Fusu anxious.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, why is the gap between people so big, this is still the heir he has cultivated for so many years.
No longer thinking about this, Ying Zheng continued to check these taxes.
The current tax is relatively clear, mainly because Zhao Qingrui dares to kill people and dismiss officials.
Every year, the imperial court is absorbing talents, and some people want to be on the top, and those who don't have the ability and want to occupy the pit and not are basically eliminated.
The tax revenue is clear, the treasury is still relatively abundant, and the bank that Zhao Qingrui got out has also greatly stimulated the development of the economy.
At present, the state treasury can still dig out the money, but after the money is paid, the state treasury is afraid that it will be empty for a year or two.
Fortunately, it is not a one-time out, and now the annual tax revenue is also steadily increasing, which can also ease the situation of the state treasury.
At present, there is a lot of infrastructure in Daqin, and the school has not yet been built, and the walls and cities of each city have to be rebuilt.
This is Zhao Qingrui's plan, and it is also done to promote development.
For the construction of cities in various places, the imperial court pays part of the money, and the rest still has to be paid by those big merchants.
With the rapid development of Daqin in recent years, many businessmen have realized the problem, and many people have built a lot of shops in various places.
There are more things in the shop, and the price will naturally come down, and the life of the Qianshou is much better.
This link is linked, and Yingzheng can't help but admire.
In the past, when he first ruled the Six Nations, he was not short of money, and all that money was stolen from the Six Nations.
And now most of this money is on business taxes, which he didn't dare to think about before.
However, now Daqin's stall is too big, and the expenditure everywhere is a terrifying number.
I didn't have a detailed understanding before, but now that I learned about it, Ying Zheng sighed very emotionally, with so many expenditures, there have been no problems, and she is worthy of being his daughter, she is really capable.
The expenditure plan for the excavation of the river was decided after a few days of arguing with the DPRK and the central government.
Since it is going to be built, it is natural to do it well, what should be the standard of doing it, if it is to be done well, it will cost more money, although Daqin's treasury is abundant, it can't withstand too much tossing.
——
Zhao Qingrui knew about the affairs of the court, and he didn't care, anyway, his father was here, he couldn't pit the entire Great Qin, with him, nothing could happen.
The parade was quite smooth, but when I spent the night in the wild, I occasionally encountered some large beasts, such as wolves and bison, which were quite destructive.
"Your Majesty, the minister found that Lord Su seems to be aware of the situation on His Majesty's side." When Zhao Qingrui was playing with the Rubik's Cube exchanged from the system to relieve his boredom, Shang Lian hesitated for a moment, but still reported the abnormality of Suling.
"Well, I didn't think I could hide it completely." Zhao Qingrui paused.
mentioned Suling, after Yingzheng took over the court during this time, she ate and drank well, played games, watched movies or something, and almost forgot such a person.
Oh, so this is the father of my two babies.
"But tell him?" Shang Lian looked at Zhao Qingrui.
"Tell me about it, let him not spread it out there." In the end, it is still the child's father, and with that beautiful face, Zhao Qingrui is still very tolerant of him.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will warn him." Shang Lian said solemnly.
"Well, I'm naturally relieved that you're doing things." Zhao Qingrui nodded, her eyes fell on the Rubik's Cube again, and her fingertips flew, as if she no longer paid attention to other things.
After Shang Lian found Su Ling and told him about Zhao Qingrui, Su Ling's eyes widened, his guess came true, and his heart beat like thunder.
"Your Majesty needs an heir, and now Your Majesty's body is inconvenient, and Your Majesty doesn't want to hear any rumors outside." Shang Lian looked at Su Ling solemnly.
Although Su Ling doesn't talk much on weekdays, if he leaks his mouth, it will be very harmful to Zhao Qingrui, and she has to beat it.
"Su Ling understands and won't talk nonsense outside." Su Ling said seriously.
"I want to meet Your Majesty, and I also ask Lord Shang to pass it on my behalf." Su Ling looked at Shang Lian expectantly.
He naturally has a good impression of Zhao Qingrui, but there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and he also knows his own situation, so he has never had the luxury of asking for what he doesn't have.
It's just that creation makes people come together, and they are still connected.
"Your Majesty has already told me, she has not seen anyone for the time being, including Su Juzi, if Su Juzi is in a hurry, you can study the book that Your Majesty gave you." Shang Lian said calmly.
