"The government has put up a notice. Come and see, come and see…!”
"What does it say? Who can read for us?”
"The notice says that from today onwards, we will no longer collect oral taxes and miscellaneous taxes. We will only collect land taxes.”
"Moreover, this land tax is not collected according to the household, but according to the number of acres!”
"Not only that, those with less than 100 mu of fertile land can be exempted from all taxes!”
"In the future, we only need to pay a tax of more than a hundred mu!”
"There's more. It says that if we commoners don't have land, the government will give each household 100 mu of land for free. If it's less than 100 mu, it will be replenished for free!”
"Really?"
"There's actually such a good thing in the world?”
"Why would I lie to you!"
"This notice says that it's the crown prince's order. It means that the crown prince has issued an order!”
"Crown Prince? When did Great Qin have a Crown Prince?”
"Has Fusu been made Crown Prince?”
"Don't spout nonsense. Be careful of your head! The notice said that the Ninth Prince, Ying Ziye, was appointed as the Crown Prince!”
"Who cares who becomes the Crown Prince? As long as it lightens the burden of the common people, it's a good Crown Prince!”
"Yes!"
"That's great! You don't have to pay taxes in the future!"
"I'll hurry back and tell my parents the good news!”
In Xianyang City, a group of commoners were surrounding the notice and pointing at it. When they learned that there would be no need to pay taxes in the future and that the government would also distribute the land, the crowd immediately boiled over.
In fact, such notices were everywhere in Xianyang City!
Every place where the notice was posted was crowded with people.
At this moment, the entire Xianyang City was in an uproar as soon as the tax reform decree was announced!
The commoners ran around to spread the news and soon, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys!
However, even though the commoners were clapping their hands in joy, the aristocrats did not think much of it!
Because they knew that this decree could not be implemented at all!
In fact, they had received the news yesterday and even went to the government office to inquire about the situation.
Their relatives in the court said that everyone, from the three dukes to the minor officials, was against the new policy.
Almost all the officials in the court objected!
Therefore, they did not think much of the notices posted all over the streets!
All the aristocrats thought that this was just the government deceiving the ordinary people!
"Aiyo, in-law, why are you free to come and play today?”
"So be it. Why did you bring soldiers?”
In the Tian Family Estate, Tian Kun welcomed Li Si warmly when he saw him arrive.
"I'm here to collect taxes!"
"The Crown Prince has ordered that the taxes paid by the nobles of the various countries will start at one million taels of gold!”
"In addition, your family has 100,000 mu of fertile land. In addition, you need to pay another 100,000 taels of land tax!”
"Also, in order to allocate land to the poor, half of your family's land was confiscated by the government!”
Li Si did not waste any time and went straight to the point.
Normally, he would first greet each other, then exchange a few pleasantries, and finally, take a seat.
But not today!
Time was too tight today. He had to collect taxes from all the nobles and gentry in Xianyang City before tomorrow morning's court session. He had to solve the problem of the poor farmers 'fields!
There were at least a hundred noble families in Xianyang City. Even though he and the Right Prime Minister had split up, it would still take a lot of time to collect taxes from each household.
Therefore, he did not dare to waste too much time. As soon as he entered, he immediately announced the order.
"In-law, are you kidding me?”
Tian Kun was instantly amused when he saw the other party's stern face and the mention of taxation the moment he entered.
Li Si must be joking with her!
It was just strange. This in-law of his rarely joked in the past!
What was going on today?
He actually played such a big joke on him!
"Pa…!"
However, just as he finished speaking, Li Si slapped his chubby face.
"Who's joking with you? Hurry up and get the money!”
"Otherwise, don't blame me for going on a killing spree!”
Li Si's eyes widened as he placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword.
As long as this in-law of his dared to waste any more time, he would immediately make him regret it!
"Li Si, are you crazy?”
Seeing that he was serious, Tian Kun was instantly furious. He covered his burning face and stomped his feet to curse.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
"Seize all the land, property, and wealth!”
"If anyone tries to stop you, kill them without mercy!”
Li Si could not be bothered to waste his breath on him. He pulled out his sword and ordered the soldiers behind him!
Time was life!
If he wasn't cruel to his in-laws, he would be cruel to his own family!
Therefore, he directly ordered the house to be raided!
It would be best if he could get 1.1 million gold taels!
If they didn't have enough, they could only use their houses and land to pay for it!
"You guys…what are you doing?”
The eldest son of the Tian family walked out. Seeing the soldiers rushing into the house, he quickly stopped them and shouted angrily.
"Pfft…"
However, the soldiers did not waste any time and directly raised their sabers to kill him!
"You, you…!"
Seeing his own son killed, Tian Kun's face turned ashen. He turned around and looked at Li Si."Good, you're Li Si. If you have the guts, you'll kill me too. Pfft...!"”
Before he could finish his sentence, Li Si had already fulfilled his wish!
"The Crown Prince has ordered that anyone who disobeys will be executed!”
"Kill everyone in the Tian Residence!”
In any case, killing one or a group of people was no different. Li Si, who had long been anxious, might as well exterminate his in-laws!
He realized that killing people directly saved time!
If they wasted half a day, they probably wouldn't be able to complete the recruitment by next year, let alone before the morning court session tomorrow!
Moreover, Ying Ziye had ordered that if any noble or despotic gentry dared to disobey his order, his entire family would be executed!
Therefore, even if they were in-laws, he would not show any mercy!
He had offended her anyway!
It was all falling out!
Why not give this family a quick death!
"Inform the treasury to come and check. Leave ten people behind to confiscate the property. The rest of you, follow me!”
In less than ten minutes, the entire Tian Family was killed.
All that was left was to wait for the treasury to come and collect their wealth!
"Crash…!"
Li Si led more than a hundred soldiers and rushed to the next house.
Just now, he was very satisfied with his speed of looting. In less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he had already raided a house.
At this speed, he should be able to finish copying before the morning court session tomorrow!
If everything went well, he might even be able to go back and sleep for a while tonight!
"Prime Minister Li, what are you…?”
In front of the Ji Family's mansion, Ji Xin, who was about to leave, saw Li Si and his troops running towards him, so he greeted them in surprise.
"Kill them!"
Li Si could not even be bothered to say that the Crown Prince had given the order and directly ordered the family to be exterminated.
Because even if he told him his purpose, this guy would think that he was joking.
After he figured out the situation, he definitely wouldn't pay.
Therefore, instead of wasting time with nonsense, it was better to directly confiscate the house!
With the time saved, he could kill a few more households!
... When I woke up today, I saw that my stats had increased by quite a bit. This chapter was the second chapter that I added yesterday!
