"Madam Barker, what do you think?"
Ying Zheng did not express his stance, but instead asked for Ba Qing's opinion.
"Ba Qing?"
"The widow in history who is good at doing business?”
Ying Ziye, who was standing at the side, realized that there was a woman in the court.
Moreover, it was big where it should be and perky where it should be. It was very beautiful.
In history, Ba Qing lost her husband very early on. After she took over the family business, she quickly opened her business all over the country.
Not only that, but she also became Qin Shihuang's honored guest.
One had to know that during the Qin Dynasty, the status of merchants was very low.
The fact that she was able to enter and leave the royal court showed that this person was extraordinary!
He did not expect to meet this legendary figure on the second day of his transmigration.
Unfortunately, he would probably have to go toe-to-toe with this legendary woman today.
Because she represented the aristocrats!
And he strongly advocated targeting the rich!
The two of them were like fire and water, opposing each other!
"I think what the Ninth Young Master said makes sense!”
"The tax reform cannot be delayed!"
Just as Ying Ziye was thinking about how to conquer…no, how to deal with this woman…
Something unexpected happened.
This woman did not stand against him, but supported his tax reform!
"Oh…?"
Ying Zheng obviously did not expect Ba Qing to give such an answer.
For a moment, he was stunned on the spot, as if he was quite surprised.
"Ninth Young Master is right. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!”
"The nobles are Great Qin's pillars, not its foundation. The millions of commoners are Great Qin's foundation!”
"The current tax system has fed the aristocrats, but it has harmed the ordinary people!”
"If Your Majesty doesn't make up your mind as soon as possible, I'm afraid the world will be in turmoil!”
Ba Qingwei cupped his hands and continued.
"You are also a noble. Do you know that if you target the rich, your interests will also suffer!”
"I want to know, you know that your interests will be damaged, so why do you still support it?”
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
" The reason is simple…!"
"A few years ago, I had businesses all over Great Qin, and my business was booming.”
"But in the past two years, the people have been poor and destitute. Many people have difficulty even wearing warm clothes and eating their fill.”
"The commoners are poor and business is hard to do. Ba clan's business has gone from over 300 to only 100!”
"And these businesses are mainly concentrated in rich places like Xianyang and Shuzhong!”
"Therefore, the people are poor, and my business is not good!”
"Only when the people are rich will business be easy to do!”
Ba Qing briefly explained the changes that had happened to him in the past few years.
In fact, the reason why she supported Ying Ziye was not because of this.
It was because she had long since seen that the legendary 'trash' Ninth Young Master was the only candidate for the Crown Prince of Great Qin.
If he could befriend him now, when this Ninth Young Master ascended the throne, he would definitely return the favor!
The method of making paper was also something she wanted.
If she could get her hands on such a thing, her future paper business would definitely be more profitable than all her current businesses combined!
In addition, Ying Ziye's words to persuade the First Emperor had also deeply moved her!
That's right, the aristocrats were not the foundation of Great Qin!
Those tens of millions of people were Great Qin's foundation!
It was not difficult for her to see that this Ninth Young Master would be a good emperor in the future!
Therefore, after considering all kinds of things, she made up her mind to stand on Ying Ziye's side.
He even racked his brains to convince the First Emperor for him!
"Yes!"
"Madam Barker makes sense!"
"Only when the people are rich can business be easy!”
"Isn't the imperial court like doing business? When the commoners have money, the treasury will be filled!”
After hearing Ba Qing's words, Ying Zheng seemed to be moved, and nodded in agreement.
"Father, do you know who has the most people in this anti-Qin faction?”
Seeing Ba Qing helping him, Ying Ziye secretly let out a sigh of relief.
He cupped his hands and prepared to strike while the iron was hot so that his cheapskate father could make a decision early.
"Oh? Who has the most people?"
Ying Zheng was slightly stunned, then asked with interest.
"Nobles of the Six Nations! And the Hundred Schools of Philosophy!"
"Father once pardoned these remnants of the Six Nations!”
"But they still have the desire to restore their country!”
"They are secretly training soldiers and accumulating strength. When the time is right, they will rise up!”
"The Hundred Schools of Philosophy, especially the Confucians, are secretly adding fuel to the fire!”
"These anti-Qin forces are all aristocrats!”
"The Imperial Court has fattened them up, but they want to overthrow the Imperial Court!”
"Father, don't you think this is ironic?”
Ying Ziye had no qualms about doing whatever he wanted, which made Ying Zheng's old face turn ashen.
"Ninth Young Master is right!"
"Although there are quite a number of despots who send money and grain to the Imperial Court, they are, after all, very few!”
"Most of the aristocrats are betting on both sides.”
"They are secretly funding the anti-Qin forces and helping the Imperial Court!”
"No matter who wins the world, they can sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor!”
"As for the nobles of the Six Nations, they have already begun training their soldiers and are preparing to rebel!”
"If it wasn't for His Majesty summoning me today, I wouldn't have dared to say such a secret!”
"Otherwise, if word gets out, I'm afraid I'll be consigned to eternal damnation!”
As soon as Ying Ziye's voice fell, Ba Qing quickly echoed.
Moreover, she was good at psychological attacks and every word she said was threatening.
"Bang…!"
Suddenly, Ying Zheng slammed his palm on the dragon table." Men, pass on my decree. All officials in the imperial court are to return to the imperial court!”
"Here!"
The eunuch on duty did not dare to delay. He ran out of the hall like a gust of wind to chase after the officials who had just left.
……
The data isn't too good, sigh…!
