"Hmm? Then tell me."
Seeing Ying Ziyun bring up this question again, Ying Zheng did not answer but asked a question instead.
" Of course!" Ying Ziyun's lips curled up slightly." Father, of course it's the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the aristocrats of the Six Nations!"”
"Father once spared their lives, but not only did these people not feel grateful, they even wanted to restore the country!”
"They are privately training soldiers, accumulating soldiers, and recruiting factions. They are waiting for an opportunity when Great Qin is in turmoil so that they can rise up!”
"As for the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, especially the Confucians, they've done a lot of shady things in secret!”
"After all, in this day and age, being able to eat and drink to your heart's content is already an extravagant hope.”
"Therefore, many of the anti-Qin factions are secretly funded by the wealthy scholars and merchants!”
"The Imperial Court doesn't do anything to them in terms of taxes, but they're constantly thinking of overthrowing Great Qin!”
"Imperial Father, are you really that kind?”
At this moment, Ying Ziyun did not have any scruples at all. He spoke in a strict manner, which made Ying Zheng's face turn black.
Ying Ziyun had just finished speaking when Ba Qing immediately continued.
"Your Majesty, the Ninth Young Master is right!”
"There are indeed some nobles who have voluntarily donated gold and silver to Great Qin's treasury, but those are very few people.”
"Most of the wealthy businessmen are two-faced and fence-sitters. They bet on both sides!”
"On the one hand, they are providing money to the anti-Qin factions as support, and on the other hand, they are taking the initiative to express goodwill to the Great Qin Imperial Court. In short, no matter what, they will not suffer losses in the future!”
"As for the descendants of the royal family of the six dynasties that the Ninth Young Master mentioned, they have been secretly training their troops and waiting for an opportunity to rebel!”
"If it wasn't for the fact that Your Majesty happened to meet me alone today, I would never have dared to speak of such a top-secret matter.”
"Because if word of this gets out, whether it's true or not, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my life!”
It had to be said that as a woman and an extremely successful wealthy businessman, Ba Qing was indeed unique in terms of psychological attacks.
These few words completely described Great Qin's current crisis.
"Humph! How dare they!"
As expected, Ying Zheng was enraged!
"Order the civil and military officials of Great Qin to return to the main hall immediately!”
Ying Zheng let out a thunderous roar of anger towards the outside of the main hall. After receiving the order, the eunuchs guarding the door immediately ran away, not daring to delay for even a moment.
At this moment, in the main hall, Ying Zheng forced himself to calm down.
"Yun 'er, if you were the one to collect taxes from the wealthy merchants, how confident are you?”
Ying Ziyun's lips curled into a smile.
"Imperial Father, your son's confidence depends on how much authority Imperial Father gives your son!”
"If you only give me a bit of authority, I will have a bit of confidence!”
"But if you give your son the power to act first and report later, your son is completely confident!”
Indeed, to Ying Ziyun, it was just collecting taxes from wealthy merchants. This was not difficult.
However, the prerequisite was that he had enough power. Otherwise, he would not be able to do anything and succeed!
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face showed a hint of admiration.
"Alright, I'll give it to you!"
Ying Zheng, who had been frowning, was instantly relieved when he saw Ying Ziyun had the courage and boldness to directly take over this thorny matter!
One had to know that it was not an easy thing to make a move on the nobles and gentry.
Almost all the ministers in the court objected. If they really wanted to kill, they could only kill them all!
However, this was clearly unrealistic.
Therefore, although he had made up his mind to take action against the rich, Ying Zheng did not have a specific plan for the time being!
However, when he saw the determination and confidence on Ying Ziyun's face, he felt relieved.
Even Ying Zheng had made up his mind that if Ying Ziyun could complete the task of collecting taxes beautifully, the position of Crown Prince would be his.
Ying Ziyun would be the future ruler of Great Qin!
……
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Ten thousand years for His Majesty, ten thousand years for Great Qin!"
At this moment, the officials who had just left returned in a hurry under the orders of the eunuch!
Without any hesitation, Ying Zheng, who had returned to his throne, spoke directly.
"Great Qin's treasury has been empty for many years, and it has completely hindered Great Qin's prosperity!”
"If Great Qin wants to live forever, we have to solve the tax problem!”
"I have made up my mind. Great Qin's tax system will be reformed according to the Ninth Prince's suggestion!”
Ying Zheng's body carried a surging dragon's might, and his words were even more deafening.
Seeing the ministers in the court discussing among themselves, Ying Zheng shouted again.
"Bring me my Ancestral Dragon Sword!"
The old eunuch hurriedly jogged all the way to the side hall, took the Ancestral Dragon Sword, and handed it to Ying Zheng respectfully.
"Where is Yun 'er?"
Ying Zheng stood up with a majestic aura.
"Father, your son is here!"
"You will be in charge of collecting taxes from the aristocrats!”
"I'll give you the power to kill first and report later!”
"The Ancestral Dragon Sword is here, and I will come personally!"
