Examinations were not about worldly affairs.
The First Emperor nodded. He was convinced by this question.
He was still not objective enough.
"No objections.
The First Emperor naturally didn't dare to have any objections. Qin Feng had finally given him some points, so he was satisfied.
"Is there anything else?"
Qin Feng continued.
"Also, why didn't I get a single point for the eighth question?”
Since he was going to continue questioning, the First Emperor naturally wouldn't give up, especially the bright big cross on this question. He directly deducted five points. Five points. Even if he got one point, it would be good.
[Question 8: If removing one thing would make your country stronger, what do you think it would be?】
A: The privileges of civil and military officials
B: The privileges of the descendants of the clan
C: The privileges of superiority and inferiority since ancient times
D: The tax burden of the common people
E: The merchant's business tax
This question, the first emperor chose the last answer, because he thought about it and only this was the most appropriate.
Qin Feng took a look. This question is a heavy one.
A playful look appeared on Qin Feng's face as he smiled,"Candidate Ying Zheng, you've asked the right person for this question! I can tell you that in the entire examination hall, only two people chose the correct answer. The rest were wiped out.”
"Remove the business tax! Not only would it not make the country rich and powerful! Instead, it would push the country towards annihilation!”
"What?!"
The moment these words were said, the emperors were shocked on the spot.
"Only two people chose the right one!"
Countless emperors stood up one after another. Qin Feng did not explain and immediately pulled out the detailed bar chart for this question.
People immediately saw that the last answer was that there were 98 emperors who could choose from the business tax.
Then, the remaining answer C was,"The privilege of superiority and inferiority since ancient times. There were only two people to choose. No one chose the other options. Most people actually chose the option to promote the destruction of the country."
This result made everyone shocked and hesitant.
"Hehe…
I've already reminded you that this question isn't what you think.”
Wang Mang smiled when he saw this question.
Because he had chosen this option.
There was nothing else. He only wanted fairness, fairness, and fairness.
"However, there was actually another person who chose the right answer…Who was it?”
Wang Mang was also curious.
"
Your Majesty, it seems that you have also chosen the wrong question. There seems to be a gap between you and the three questions that were announced…"
Zhangsun Wuji said faintly as soon as the standard answer to this question was announced in the Great Tang plane.
"It seems that my score has not been announced yet, but it has already dropped by at least 7 points…" Li Shiming clutched his chest, feeling his heart bleeding.
The imperial court was also silent. Although Qin Feng did not announce the results, according to the current analysis, the current Emperor's test scores could no longer reach the Excellent level.
"Yes."
Although it was cruel, Zhangsun Wuji had to admit that the Great Tang's dream of pursuing excellence had been shattered.
"Why is the standard answer the last option? What was the merchant's business tax? If it was gone, so be it. Everything else was fatal? Why would removing the business tax lead to the country's demise?”
Li Shi Min was extremely doubtful.
"He actually chose the last option? Why?"
"If we remove the business tax, won't we not compete with the people for profits? Instead, it will cause the country to perish."
At this moment, not only Li Shiming, but the other ninety examinees who gave the wrong answer were also filled with question marks.
Especially the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and other Ming Dynasty emperors were fooled by the officials. In their minds, collecting business taxes was like fighting for profit with the people.
Similarly, the entire merchant class was ignored in feudal society. The role of the merchant tax was also greatly ignored.
"
It seems that I can't hide it anymore.”
The emperors did not understand, but the Donglin Party in the Wanli period, the Tianqi period, and the late Ming Dynasty were clear in their hearts.
This was because they had long colluded with the merchants. Many of the officials had also raised many merchants in captivity, so they knew the violence of the merchant tax.
The merchants supported the civil officials with money and spoke for them in the court. Under this model, the civil officials had long become the spokesperson of the merchants.
Unfortunately, because of a tacit understanding, they could not.
Since ancient times, no emperor had ever realized the importance of business taxes.
This was the limitation of class.
However, Qin Feng wanted to use this question to break the shackles of collusion between officials and merchants. He wanted to let these emperors and commoners know what business taxes were.
"Considering that 98% of the examinees answered this question wrong, then please watch carefully. I will analyze this question for you and the reason why your country cannot become strong.”
Qin Feng opened his mouth. This sentence wasn't directed at Qin Shi Huang alone, it was also directed at the emperors and commoners of the entire Devata Realms.
As soon as he said that.
The expressions of the merchants from the various dynasties changed.
"No way! Immortal Elder Qin Feng, you can't say that…We're all small businesses. If we increase the business tax again, we won't be able to survive.”
Tong Xiangyu, who was in control of Tong Fu Inn, had a bitter expression on her face.
"Shopkeeper, there's no need! You're just a scoundrel. Other than our monthly salary and the business tax of 1(30, you've earned a lot.”Little Guo immediately looked at Tong Xiangyu with disdain.
"That's right, shopkeeper. You've already saved more than a thousand taels of silver with me, and it's only been three short years.”Shopkeeper Qian also took the opportunity to say.
"No, I'm earning money from hard work.”Tong Xiangyu's heart ached.
"
Removing the business tax will cause the country to perish.”
At this moment, Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng, and the other reform officials were even more interested when they heard Qin Feng's words.
For reformist officials like them.
Not only this option, but the entire question was a huge topic. They urgently needed guidance.
…Under
everyone's anticipation, Qin Feng waved his hand.
A video appeared.
[The reason for the fall of a powerful empire is actually hidden in a jar of ordinary caviar]
The moment the title of the video appeared, the examinees candidates and billions of citizens in the Heavenly Examination examination hall frowned.
Qin Feng's voice rang out,[There was a country that had a total of 5 million soldiers at its peak.
It occupied one-sixth of the world's territory.
It could destroy a small country with 300,000 soldiers in an hour. It
could destroy the world in three hours.
However, the reason for its destruction was actually hidden on an ordinary can of caviar
.]
In the video, there were countless soldiers, tens of thousands of strange vehicles, birds, and other advanced equipment.
The artillery shells were fired, and the battlefield that spanned over a thousand kilometers instantly became a battlefield.
Under the sound of the horn, the five million soldiers roared and charged through the clouds.
The moment this prelude appeared, the emperors of the Devata Realms were stunned. Then, their expressions changed drastically, and they subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Five million soldiers!"
How could it be?
"Is there such a powerful country?!”
The First Emperor, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and the others all stood up, staring at the shocking scene of the five million soldiers.
Five million soldiers, what kind of concept was that!
Other people might not know, but the First Emperor, Li Shimin, and Zhu Yuanzhang knew best. Just the source of soldiers alone was something their empire could not afford.
If the logistics consumption of five million soldiers was also included…
The entire army had to have a population of 20 to 30 million.
The First Emperor looked at his answer in a daze. His Great Qin Empire only had a population of six million or so, which was about 20 million people.
What was the concept of an army of five million?
This meant that every household of Great Qin had a soldier, and the family would provide for the soldier.
All the people were soldiers!
Great Qin could not afford to raise such an army!
What was even more exaggerated was that such a powerful country had actually been destroyed.
How was this possible?
Then wouldn't the country he destroyed be even more terrifying?
At this moment, all the emperors felt their heads buzzing. They were dumbfounded by the heavy bomb that Qin Feng had thrown at them. Their three views were completely shattered.
More importantly, his worldview collapsed twice in an instant.
Five million soldiers, and then the country was destroyed.
Looking at the title again, such a powerful country was destroyed by ordinary caviar. This was beyond the imagination of all the emperors.
This king exploded.
The myriad worlds collectively lost their voices!
