Chapter 138 The majestic Qin has his own loyal minister!
There was once a saying.
If you have difficulties, you have to go up. If you don’t have difficulties, you have to go up. Ying Zheng felt that the officials of the Great Qin Empire should have such fearless spirit.
The officials of the Great Qin Empire were not fighting alone. Behind them was the court, the Great Qin Empire, and he was Ying Zheng.
However, the officials of the Qin Dynasty did not have the passion to fight against the old clans and major forces, nor did they dare to be the first in the world and be indomitable for the empire.
...
"Your Majesty, the food is ready, so eat it while it's hot..."
Zhao Gao led a team of eunuchs into the study and placed the prepared meals for Ying Zheng and others on the long table in front of everyone.
Zhao Gao placed the food on the long table in front of Ying Zheng, looked respectful and said, "The preparations have also begun on the main hall, and it will take about half an hour!"
"Give them an hour!"
Ying Zheng's eyes were like swords, and at this moment he ordered, saying, "Cleaning the long case in half an hour, and the remaining half an hour is left, let them think about what the Qin officials are."
"promise."
...
In the rage of Ying Zheng, all the ministers were frightened. Even Wang Wan and Wang Ben did not dare to bite the bullet and touch Ying Zheng's brows.
After all, they all knew that in anger, whoever touched him would be the cannon fodder that was sacrificed.
Li Si and Wang Wan looked at each other and buried their heads in the process of making some things. As ministers, they didn't dare to say anything. They all knew that it was not only the magistrates of Shandong counties who were responsible for this matter.
The person who was furious in front of him also had a responsibility, and there were also people in the government, and the two of them were the main responsible persons in the government.
As soon as they thought about it, the two of them immediately shut up.
After all, once they speak at this moment, there is a high possibility that Ying Zheng will cause trouble for them.
...
Above the hall, there is a quiet area.
Everyone is only concerned about eating the food on their own desk and is indifferent to other things. The Great Court has been in panic and worried for only half a day.
Ying Zheng's continuous actions made the ministers feel that there were dark clouds above their heads. It seemed as if there was a sword that could fall down at any time.
...
An hour later, the ministers gathered in the hall again. The scene that had just relaxed a little suddenly condensed at this moment.
The First Emperor was alone, and he was like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, putting them under great pressure.
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial!" At this moment, Zheng Guo, the Nei Shishi of Zhisu, stood up.
He was not only the chief minister of the Secretariat Office of the Su Neishi Office, but also the most respected and capable water craftsman in the Qin Empire.
The straight road of the Qin Dynasty and the Chi Dao were his hands. At this moment, he had to report it to Ying Zheng.
The straight road of the Great Qin was related to the stability of the north. Now the Huns became more and more powerful, and the Great Qin had to guard against it. Therefore, at this time, Zheng State stood up.
It’s not that he is not sure that standing up at this time will most likely make Ying Zheng angry, but he ignores it and has a calm attitude.
*******, how can you avoid it because of good fortune and misfortune?
In every era, there are loyal ministers and ministers who die with passion.
There are also great Qin!
Only such a person can be called a famous scholar!
On the throne, Ying Zheng frowned and suddenly let him go away. He knew in his heart that Zheng State was different from other ministers, if it were divided according to later generations.
Zheng Guo is a science and engineering man, a technical mate!
Such people are often realistic. Since they stand up at this moment, there must be something important.
The most important thing is that the anger in Ying Zheng's heart has been completely suppressed. After all, he knew that this time the dynasty would continue.
Therefore, the previous obstacle can only be overcome.
"Accepted!"
A faint voice spread, and Zheng Guo's body stood even more straight, as if it was a sharp sword that had broken through the world, with its own majestic aura. Such a person may not shine, but it will make you feel at ease.
After receiving Ying Zheng's nod, Zheng State bowed deeply, then spoke, saying: "Your Majesty, in the 29th year of the First Emperor, the court started the construction of the straight road, so that the entire Great Wall project was suspended."
"According to the current project progress, it will take two years or even three years to completely open the straight road. The money and food consumed will be a terrifying number."
"The construction of the same three major roads has reached a critical moment, but it will take at least three years to complete the construction."
"This is because Daqin Heavy Industry's full efforts were taken, and the Chidao Project was contracted to the big merchants in the Daqin Empire one by one."
"Although I, Daqin, got some money and food due to land reform, the finances of the Daqin Empire are still tight, and there is no excess food in the treasury."
"Whether it is the Northern Army or the Southern Expedition Army, the food and equipment consumed every day are a terrifying number."
"If we include the straight road project, the road project, the labor service in various places, and the salaries of officials from all over the Qin Dynasty, before that, the Qin Empire was not able to make ends meet every year."
"This time, the income from the family search in the Neishi and Xianyang could not even make up for the deficits of many years ago. If the Qin Empire had not always kept the twelve warehouses, I'm afraid the empire would have had problems long ago."
...
As the chief minister of the Secretariat Office of the Su Neishi Office, Zheng Guo knew all the data well. He knew in his heart that at this time, he had to let the civil and military officials of the court, especially Ying Zheng, know the current embarrassment of the Qin Empire.
Only in this way can they make the decision that is most favorable to the empire on this basis.
"call……"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's face became ugly with the naked eye. He knew in his heart that the taxes of the Qin Empire were mainly including land rent, mouth and miscellaneous taxes.
Before, land rent was collected based on the number of land acres. After the establishment of the Qin Empire, no matter how much actual land was, it would be collected based on the number of land that each person should have as controlled by the government. Even if there was not so much land, taxes would be collected based on this amount.
However, Ying Zheng had read the documents sent by the Secretariat Office of the Secretariat. He knew in his heart that the family of five now accounts for 100 acres of land, but the income of these 100 acres of land is only 100 stones.
The Qin Empire paid 120 yuan of tuition tax per year, so the family of five would need to pay 600 yuan. The current food price is stable, 30 yuan per stone.
Thoughts flashed in his mind, but Ying Zheng remembered clearly that years of wars were so young that they were not young and strong, and their farmland was abandoned, and women had no good clothes to wear.
In this way, the cycle of evil consequences will make the embarrassment of the Qin Empire more and more serious.
Moreover, the civil corvee service was heavy and the conquests were frequent, and a large amount of military supplies were required, which made the Qin Empire become strong on the outside but at the same time. It seemed extremely powerful, but in fact it was terrible.
Any larger wave of storm may cause the ship of the Qin Empire to be destroyed and killed.
