"Come and take a look! Come and see, there's good news!"
Early in the morning, Xianyang City was awakened by the cheers of the people.
At this moment, a dense crowd was surrounding the notice, scrambling to read the contents.
Even if most of them could not read.
"Tell me quickly, what is written on this notice?“
"What else could it be? Reduce the corvee! The imperial edict to reduce the corvee has been issued!"
"Really!"
"The heavens have opened their eyes! My son finally doesn't have to go to the corvee, sob sob…"
"Old man, quickly go home and take out that small piece of bacon. Our son is coming back!”
"That's great! There's hope for this day."
The commoners cheered.
At this moment, it was not only Xianyang City.
All the counties and villages around Xianyang that had already posted notices to reduce corvee became a sea of joy.
Great Qin had hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Basically, every two or three families had a man serving the corvee.
One could imagine how many people would be affected by this policy.
"Ding…The policy of reducing corvee has won the hearts of the people. Reputation points obtained: 9”
"Ding…The policy of reducing corvee has won the hearts of the people. Reputation points obtained: 4”
"Ding…The policy of reducing corvee has won the hearts of the people. Reputation points obtained: 8”
……
Zhao Tuo, who was sleeping, was directly awakened by this sudden endless notification.
Looking at the rapidly increasing balance, he smiled.
He covered Little Peach and Ba Man, who were sleeping soundly, with a blanket.
Zhao Tuo tiptoed to the outside of the hall after putting on his clothes. He beckoned for a maidservant and instructed,""Today, I ordered someone to stew some red date black chicken soup to nourish the new Baji's body.”
"Here."
The maid left after receiving the order, but Zhao Tuo had a strange expression on his face.
"Baji…Baji? Damn it, why was this title so dramatic?”
Shaking his head, he recalled Ba Man's cute appearance and wild behavior last night, as well as the huge contrast with Little Peach's tender and gentle appearance.
Zhao Tuo could not help but smack his lips.
"No wonder since ancient times, emperors have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. As expected, there are differences between people.”
He stretched and opened the system.
Zhao Tuo once again began to browse through the items he needed.
"Hmm…this is not bad; Great Qin will probably need it in the future.”
"This works too, huh? Two million reputation points? It's really expensive. I'll let the craftsmen study it first and see if they can make it.”
"Hiss, I should get some methods to make these gadgets…cheap and practical.”
Zhao Tuo mumbled as he browsed through the system store.
He had checked it out today and realized that there were so many good things in the system store.
No wonder Reputation Points were so easy to earn…Tsk tsk.
However, although he liked everything, Zhao Tuo looked at the balance that was still rising and did not make a decision early.
Good steel should be used on the blade.
The best solution was, of course, to wait until the balance stabilized before carefully arranging the expenses.
After thinking about all this, Zhao Tuo lifted his feet and walked towards Ying Zheng's palace.
He had not forgotten.
Even though there was no court affairs today, they had already made an appointment with Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, Wang Ben, and Feng Quji yesterday to discuss the national policy…
When Zhao Tuo arrived, everyone was already there. They were chatting in their respective seats while tasting the fragrant tea that Zhao Tuo had ordered someone to deliver.
Although this tea wasn't popular yet.
However, Zhao Tuo had also brewed quite a lot of wine from the eunuchs in his Life Palace, and distributed it to Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, and a few others.
After all, if there was something good, it was better for their own people to taste it first.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"No need to be so polite. Everyone, sit."
"Imperial Father is eating?"
"Hahaha, the refreshments in Tuo 'er Palace are very delicious. Even I can't help but be greedy.”
Zhao Tuo smiled.
"Since Imperial Father likes it, I will order someone to send some over when the time comes.”
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
The current him had food and drink every day and did not have to manage government affairs.
Every day, when he was free, he would stroll around the public garden and talk to the young masters, princesses, and concubines who had moved to the harem.
When he was tired, he would take a nap.
His life was extremely comfortable.
Even he felt that his body had improved a lot.
It was as if he was ten years younger.
This made him sigh even more. It was a wise decision to abdicate the throne to Zhao Tuo.
Seeing Zhao Tuo sit down, everyone present also sat up straight.
However, just as Zhao Tuo was about to speak, the eunuch accompanying him suddenly walked over in small steps.
"Your Majesty, a letter from the Northern Borderline."
"Northern borderline?"
Zhao Tuo opened the letter in confusion and saw three seal characters: His brother, Fu Su.
"A letter from my eldest brother."
"Young Master Fusu?"
"Fusu?"
Ying Zheng and the others looked over.
"His Majesty the Second Emperor.
I am very happy to hear that you have ascended the throne. However, the situation in the northern border is very tight and it is difficult to withdraw. In addition, no one dares to return to Xianyang for a chat under the orders of my father. Seeing your words today is like seeing a person.
The benefits of cement will last for thousands of years. I deeply admire it.
I only heard that the Confucian scholars blocked the disaster relief convoy. I think that the Confucian scholars are unfair to the people.
Besides, it is really inappropriate to use chaff to sell grain to relieve famine. I am afraid it will be laughed at by future generations.
I hope Your Majesty can give the people and the scholarly faction an explanation for this matter.
Brother, Fusu."
“……”
Zhao Tuo's eyes twitched slightly.
Angry?
Not to that extent.
He could only say that he was a little helpless.
He had come into contact with Fu Su many times before he was exiled. He was one of the few people in the harem that he did not hate.
He was modest and magnanimous, always wearing a smiling face.
In terms of shortcomings…
In Zhao Tuo's words, she was a little sissy, indecisive, and indecisive.
Yes, he was still a little stubborn.
Look at what he said today.
It seemed that Ying Zheng had left him in the northern border for so many years, but it was completely useless.
As expected, as soon as Zhao Tuo's thoughts surfaced, Ying Zheng, who was standing at the side, slammed the table and stood up.
"What nonsense!"
"To think that he's still Zhen's eldest son. He actually hasn't improved at all after all these years!”
It was obvious.
Fu Su's letter also made Ying Zheng very angry.
On the other hand, Zhao Tuo only smiled and said,"Imperial Father, Eldest Brother's situation is simply because he has never been beaten up by society and life.”
"I will order him to return to Xianyang. When the time comes, you will see how I will punish him!”
