Otherwise, Fu Su would not have committed suicide just because of a fake imperial edict!
A place like the national treasury needed a stubborn and extreme person like Fu Su.
"Yes!"
Although Ying Ziyun was Fu Su's ninth brother, he had received the emperor's order to preside over the morning court. Fu Su naturally accepted the order.
Then, Ying Ziyun swept his gaze across the officials in the court and listed out a series of rules!
"From now on, oral taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be exempted!”
"The previous system of paying taxes according to the number of households has been completely abolished.”
"A family with less than a hundred acres of land will be exempted from all taxes!”
"If the family's land is exchanged for military merits, they can also be exempted from taxes!”
"Also, if your family doesn't have any land, the imperial court can distribute public land!”
"The so-called public land is the land in the hands of the local landowners and gentry!”
"If the land is a thousand mu, the tax will be a thousand taels of gold!”
"Ten thousand mu of land, ten thousand taels of gold to pay taxes!”
"100,000 mu of land, 100,000 taels of gold as tax!”
"These are the new tax policies for the local gentry and landlords. As for the salt merchants…"
"Salt merchants, regardless of the size of the business or the profit or loss, the starting price is five million taels of gold!”
"The nobles left behind by the Six Nations have to pay at least a million taels of gold!”
"Anyone who disobeys or disobeys will be killed and their entire family beheaded!”
Ying Ziyun's new rules shocked the officials in the court so much that their eyeballs almost popped out!
After a moment of silence, the ministers began to discuss.
"This new tax law not only doesn't collect taxes from the people, but it also gives them free land. It's ridiculous, too ridiculous!”
"That's right. It's probably the first time that the taxes on the rich and powerful are so heavy. If we continue to force them, they'll die!”
"Yes, it can even be said that they are forcing these people to rebel!”
"This is too much nonsense. I have to go see His Majesty. Look at how this kid has made the imperial court into a mess. I can't let him continue to mess around!”
"Hai, I think you should stop. So what if you meet His Majesty?”
"You have to know that there are some things that His Majesty cannot do personally, so he can only hand them over to others, such as the Ninth Young Master!”
"Do you really think that His Majesty doesn't have the intention to attack the nobles and wealthy merchants?”
"Sigh, forget it, forget it. We'll discuss it later…"
The officials were all buzzing with discussion, but they didn't come up with anything.
Ying Zheng handed over the Ancestral Dragon Sword to Ying Ziyun, and gave him the power to act first and report later, while he himself hid behind the scenes.
It was obvious that he supported Ying Ziyun's decision.
After watching the officials make a commotion, the voices gradually quieted down. No one took the initiative to stand up and object.
"Alright, since there's no objection, we'll execute it immediately!”
"All of the new laws have to be implemented within two months. When the time is up, Great Qin's treasury must be filled, and all of the residents must have good farmland to farm!”
"If there's even the slightest mistake, all of you here will die!”
"No, in addition to your own death, you will also be beheaded!”
Ying Ziyun's words sent shivers down the backs of all the officials.
After all, Ying Ziyun had always been a bastard for so many years. Now that he had obtained such great power, he might really be able to do something like killing an entire family!
Who wouldn't be afraid of a whole family being executed!
"Alright, retreat!"
"Zhang Han, Wang Ben, you two stay here!”
Although they hated and loathed Ying Ziyun, the rules of the court could not be messed with, so the officials left after bowing.
Meng Yi held the Ancestral Dragon Sword and followed closely beside Ying Ziyun.
Zhang Han and Wang Ben stood at the same spot, waiting for Ying Ziyun's orders.
Apart from these generals, there was also a woman who stayed behind. She was Ba Qing.
"Young Master, do you think that the officials in the court will definitely implement the new law?”
Ba Qing asked Ying Ziyun.
When Ying Ziyun announced the new decree, none of the officials dared to oppose it.
However, he was only afraid of losing his head. He was forced by Ying Ziyun's killing intent.
However, it was clear to everyone that none of the officials in the court were willing to obey and carry out the order.
Even when the officials bowed at the end of the court session, some of the old officials were a little perfunctory.
He simply cupped his hands and turned to leave.
"Sincere obedience?"
"How is that possible? These old fogeys are quite scheming. They will definitely play some tricks.”
"However, that's fine. I already have a way to make them obey!”
Ba Qing was stunned. He didn't expect Ying Ziyun to be so honest and straightforward.
"Oh?"
"It seems that Your Highness already has a plan in mind!”
Actually, Ba Qing didn't leave just now because he wanted to offer Ying Ziyun a plan.
But looking at Ying Ziyun's confident expression, it seemed like there was no need for that.
