"Go!"
"Forget about today. Tomorrow, we must complete the collection of the land around Xianyang!”
Ying Ziye saw them rubbing their fists and nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Si and the others were grateful when they heard that today didn't count. They quickly kowtowed again.
If they didn't count today, it would be equivalent to giving them more than half a day's time!
One day was more than enough to complete the mission!
"Alright, hurry up and get busy!"
"Yes, sir!"
Li Si and the others quickly got up and jogged out of the palace.
They had no choice. Time was tight. They had to run quickly and seize the time to do it!
"Minister Li, how can you complete the mission in such a short time?”
"The tax reform is easy to handle. The decree will be passed down to the various governments and His Majesty's decree will be passed down!”
"But it will be difficult to complete the land reform in a day!”
"Concealing the land, calling the people to redistribute and measure the land, and then re-signing the land deed. Every step takes a lot of time!”
"Send out all the officials in the government office. Each of us will be in charge of a county. Anyone who slackens and blocks us will be beheaded!”
"Good! It's settled then!"
"Didn't the Crown Prince capture our entire family? Then we'll capture the entire family of the officials below. If they can't distribute the land to the people within half a day, we'll destroy their entire family!”
"That's a good idea!"
"But what if those nobles don't hand over their land?”
"You still want to ask? Of course, we'll exterminate their entire family!"
"That's right! Our time is limited, how can we have time to talk nonsense with them!”
"Yes, yes, yes! Killing them was the easiest, wasting time talking nonsense with them!”
As everyone spoke, they had already arrived at their respective government offices.
The duties of the three dukes and nine ministers were strict!
The three princes presided over the overall situation, and below them were the nine ministers.
The nine ministers were in charge of the criminal, military, official, ritual, household, and labor departments.
Fortunately, the various government offices were close to each other, so Li Si immediately ordered people to call out all the hundreds of officials in the various government offices!
"The land and tax reform that I announced a few days ago must be accelerated from today onwards!”
"Send the official documents to all the counties before dark today!”
"Order the local officials below to complete the land and tax reform in ten days according to His Majesty's decree!”
"At that time, if there are commoners who do not get their land or do not stop paying exorbitant taxes, the local officials will all be executed!”
"In addition, I want you to complete the collection of Xianyang and its surrounding land within a day!”
"If anyone slackens and disobeys orders, kill them without mercy!”
Li Si did not waste any time and immediately gave orders to the hundreds of officials.
"Prime Minister Li, isn't one day too little?”
"Without two to three months, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to complete!”
One of the officials stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Men! Kill him!"
Li Si ignored him and gave the order!
"Yes, sir!"
"Puff!"
The guards beside Li Si had already heard what was going on.
Therefore, without saying a word, he pulled out his sword and beheaded the official!
"I said that those who slack off and disobey orders will be killed without mercy!”
Li Si glared at everyone with his bloodshot eyes.
"If you can't complete the mission within a day!”
"Kill them all!"
"Also, if the various counties do not complete the mission within ten days!”
"I'll start with you!"
Wang Wan and Feng Jie also opened their mouths. They pointed at the crowd and said with fierce eyes.
The officials below were so frightened that they all fell silent out of fear. Everyone was on tenterhooks!
"I am personally in charge of Xianyang City. Men, follow me to find the Xianyang Order!”
As Li Si spoke, he led his men straight to the Xianyang County Office!
Wang Wan, Feng Jie, and the others were also in charge of their own areas. They brought their people out of the city.
……
"Everyone, I'm afraid this won't be the first time the Crown Prince extorts, nor will it be the last time."
"What should we do if we extort again in the future?”
"First, they want to confiscate our land, and now they're extorting us. They're trying to force us to rebel!”
"Shh! Brother Tian, be careful what you say. Be careful that the walls have ears!”
"What's there to be afraid of? The fate of the violent Qin is about to arrive. The heroes of the various countries will definitely rise up. At that time, it will still be our world!”
"We donate money to the anti-Qin forces every year. When will they raise an army? If you don't rebel against us, you won't be able to live your days!”
"It should be soon. I've already sent a letter to the scholarly faction. It shouldn't be long before they send someone over!”
"Last year, we sponsored thousands of anti-Qin righteous men, but we still didn't succeed in assassinating them. This tyrant's life is really tough!”
"As long as the righteous men of the six dynasties raise their troops to rebel, I will be the first to pay!”
"Everyone, don't be anxious. I've already bribed Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Feng, and the other ministers to persuade that tyrant to give up on the land and tax reform. Otherwise, how are we going to accumulate wealth in the future?”
"I have also bribed some officials in the court. This land reform matter will probably be left unsettled!”
"As long as we can keep the land, so what if the Crown Prince extorts us once?”
In Tian Qing's house, almost all the nobles of Xianyang City were present.
They had no choice. The Crown Prince had given them quite a fright today and almost killed their son.
Therefore, everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"Crash…!"
"So everyone is here. That's great!”
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door. Soon, Prime Minister Li Si barged in with his men.
"Prime Minister Li, you came at the right time. How is the matter of convincing His Majesty going?”
Tian Qing quickly went up to him.
"The Crown Prince has ordered us to complete the land reform in Xianyang within a day and distribute the land to the landless people!”
"Everyone, take out the land deed obediently!”
Li Si did not have time to waste on him. He announced his decision with a straight face.
"What is it? He's actually going to be serious?"
"I spent a lot of money to buy the land. If the Imperial Court wants to take it, then give me the money. Otherwise, there's no need to talk about it!”
"You want me to give the land to those poor people? No way!"
"I don't have a land deed, but I have a life!”
"Seizing the land is tantamount to robbery. Don't even think about it!”
His words immediately caused everyone to explode and curse.
"Kill them!"
However, Li Si did not waste time on them. He waved his hand lightly and gave the order.
"Here!"
"Puff, puff, puff…!"
The soldiers rushed into the hall and started a massacre without a word!
In an instant, heads rolled all over the huge meeting hall.
"Who else dares to talk nonsense?"
Li Si asked expressionlessly after killing the troublemakers.
However, the high-spirited gentry shook their heads like rattles.
Compared to life, land was nothing!
If the land was gone, he could buy it again. If his life was gone, he could not buy it back!
