"My fellow colleagues, stop running!”
"If we were to fight alone and do things our own way, it would be impossible for us to complete the task His Highness the Crown Prince gave us within two months!”
"How about this? Why don't we discuss how to quickly complete the mission?”
Li Si quickly stopped the officials.
He couldn't even remember the detailed decrees issued by Ying Ziye, so what was the use of running around blindly?
"Yes, yes, yes…!"
"If we only sweep the snow in front of our door, it will be very difficult to complete the tax reform mission within two months!”
"That's right! Only by working together could they quickly see results!”
"I wonder if Prime Minister Li has any brilliant ideas?"
Hearing this, all the ministers stopped in their tracks.
That's right, how could they complete the task the Crown Prince gave them in two months if they were like headless flies collecting taxes everywhere?
"I think that the most important thing now is to record down the detailed decree issued by His Highness the Crown Prince yesterday!”
"Everyone, think about it. What did His Highness the Crown Prince say yesterday?”
"How are they going to levy taxes and divide the land?”
Li Si glanced at everyone and asked anxiously.
If they couldn't even remember the details of the decree, their entire family would be finished in two months!
"I remember that His Highness the Crown Prince said yesterday to abolish the household tax and change it to the number of fields!”
"Yes! His Highness said that if the family has less than 100 mu of fertile land, they can be exempted from all taxes!”
"Or the land obtained because of military merit will also be exempted from all taxes!”
"In addition, distribute 100 mu of public land to those farmers who don't have any land!”
"His Highness said that these public lands would be collected from the local nobles!”
"Also, for those over a thousand mu, pay a thousand taels of gold!”
"Those with more than 10,000 mu will be paid 10,000 taels of gold!”
"Those who are above 100,000 mu will be paid 100,000 gold!”
"And so on. The more land you have, the more you have to pay!”
"This is the supplementary tax for the local tyrants!”
"The salt merchant's supplementary payment starts at five million gold taels!”
"Each country's aristocrats will have to pay a minimum of one million gold taels!”
"Hurry up! Hurry up and write it down. You can't miss a single one. Otherwise, the lives of our entire family will be gone!”
Everyone spoke one after another, recalling what Ying Ziye had said during yesterday's morning court session. Li Si quickly ordered his men to write it down.
"How about this, let's each do our own thing. We won't be able to complete the mission in two years, let alone two months!”
"From now on, everyone will listen to our orders. How about it?”
"Good! As long as the task assigned by the Crown Prince could be completed as soon as possible, the two Prime Ministers could give their orders!”
"Alright then! Today, we will use all our strength to collect taxes from Xianyang and the 40 counties around Xianyang!”
"When collecting taxes, count all the households. Those who do not have land or whose land is less than 100 mu, immediately collect land from the nobles and give it to them!”
"In a while, everyone will personally lead people into battle. Every two officials will be in charge of a county!”
"Try to complete the task of collecting taxes and distributing the land within a day. Tomorrow morning, we will give the Crown Prince an explanation!”
"What do you all think?"
"I'll listen to the Prime Minister's orders!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's act quickly. If any noble gentry objects, we'll directly destroy their entire family!”
"Yes! If we don't exterminate their entire family, His Highness the Crown Prince will exterminate our entire family!”
"Everyone, remember this! I know that all of you have arranged marriages with the nobles of Xianyang City. Think about your families. If you don't want to be exterminated, you have to be ruthless!”
"That's right! The tax had to be ruthless! This official is planning to go all out. Even if it's my in-laws, if they dare to say half a word, this official will immediately slaughter their entire family!”
"This minister will go to the chief justice to allocate troops. After that, each of you will lead 200 troops to each county!”
"Alright then, I'll leave the aristocrats in Xianyang City to the two Prime Ministers!”
"Everyone, don't worry. Even if Xianyang flows like a river, I will collect the taxes today!”
After writing down the decree issued by Ying Ziye yesterday, everyone began to discuss the specific actions.
In the end, the civil and military officials unanimously decided to levy taxes with an iron fist!
He would strive to conquer Xianyang City and the surrounding 40 counties within a day!
At the same time, the land allocation was also completed!
Such a heavy task, if it was in the past, it would take months to complete!
However, for the sake of the lives of their entire family, they could only risk their lives!
What relatives and friends!
If they dared to stop them from collecting taxes, they would be exterminated!
If they weren't ruthless to their relatives and friends, they had to be ruthless to their own family!
……
"How was Ye 'er's performance in the morning court session the next day?”
In the royal study, seeing the man in black enter, Ying Zheng quickly put down his brush and asked with interest.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's performance today has opened this old minister's eyes!”
The black-robed man smiled and sighed sincerely.
"Oh?"
"Tell me in detail?"
"Oh right, how did you deal with Zhao Gao's gang, Ye 'Er?”
"And that traitor Ma Quan, did Ye 'er kill him or not?”
Hearing his words, Ying Zheng became even more interested.
"Your Majesty, we killed them all!"
"However, His Highness did not kill them in the name of Zhao Gaopeng's henchmen. Instead, he called Zhao Gao's henchmen out and asked them about the progress of the tax collection.”
"These people naturally made no progress, so His Highness the Crown Prince ordered their entire family to be exterminated!”
"I only killed ten of them, and the other officials were scared sh * tless, haha…!”
The man in black couldn't help but laugh at the end.
"Yes!"
"As expected of my son, he really has some tricks up his sleeve…!”
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, his slightly cloudy eyes filled with gratification.
These people were all Zhao Gao's henchmen. If they were killed for personal gain, they would at most be a joke to the officials in the court!
However, if he was killed for incompetence, and his entire family was executed!
That would be a great deterrent!
It would probably scare the ministers half to death!
In the future, if he were to implement any government decrees, he would not dare to go against them and drag it out!
"Your Majesty, you didn't see that after the court session ended, those ministers ran away so quickly!”
"They seem to hate their parents for giving them one less leg!”
"Haha…!"
The man in black stroked his beard and could not help but laugh again.
"Yes! Not bad!"
"I didn't expect Ye 'er to only use a day's time to subdue all the civil and military officials!”
Glancing at the mountain of memorials on the dragon table, Ying Zheng said thoughtfully,""In a few more days, if he is worthy of the great responsibility, I will also hand over this memorial to him to handle in the future!”
"Right! During the morning court session today, His Highness the Crown Prince had ordered the Imperial Examination to be held!”
"It's similar to the Imperial Examination. Through the examination, some talents are selected!”
The man in black seemed to have thought of something and quickly said.
"Good!"
"In this way, we can recruit talents from all over the world for Great Qin!”
"Why didn't I think of this method of selecting talents?”
