"I have recently studied the drawings of the Mao-colored gun. I will hand it over to the arsenal for development in the next two days. It will be available soon! Although the power of this thermal weapon is not as high as that of the cannon and the mine, it is more accurate and almost

It's instant death when shot, and it can fire thousands of bullets every quarter of an hour!"

Ying Feiyu stood up, not in a hurry to explain why he proposed to reduce taxes, but planned to do it step by step and let the ministers understand it themselves.

"Hiss...! Thousands of bullets can be fired every quarter of an hour? Will it kill you if you hit it?"

The ministers could not even imagine such a powerful weapon.

Doesn't it mean that a team of 100,000 people, under attack by Mao-colored guns, can be eliminated within a quarter of an hour with only 100 people?

Even if there are misses or repeated hits, half an hour is enough!

It's too scary, it's simply too scary!

"Yes, in the future, with the cooperation of Mao-colored guns and artillery, it will become easier to attack the city. In other words, our Daqin will have more and more land in the future!"

Ying Feiyu first drew a big cake for the ministers.

The reason why it is said to be a big deal is because although the Mao-colored gun is powerful, it is impossible for the enemy to line up and wait for you to hit it.

And there are also reasons such as miss, changing bullets, poor sight, etc., which lead to the speed of firing bullets!

In addition, the military strength of each country is very dispersed, and it is impossible to gather them all in one city, so it is still very time-consuming to clear them. It is not possible to clear the entire country in a few days!

But the death rate in war will definitely be greatly reduced!

In the past, if the enemy army had 100,000 men, Da Qin would have to send at least 80,000 men to have any chance of winning.

Now it only costs 10,000!

"Young Master, you also said that there will be more and more land in Da Qin, and the land that the people can cultivate will also increase, and the production of food will be more. So why should we reduce their taxes?"

An old minister raised doubts.

"The area that can be cultivated is indeed getting larger and larger, but so many people have to cultivate it!"

"Nowadays, our industry and commerce in Daqin continue to develop, and workers' salaries are also constantly increasing. Businessmen sit in the house and make money easily. Who is willing to farm, let alone increase the area of ​​farming, as long as they have enough to eat

!”

Xiao Zhengtai analyzed it.

"How can that be done? Food is the foundation of the country. If we don't cultivate it, what will we eat?"

The ministers suddenly showed a trace of panic.

"That's why I said that the people's taxes should be reduced. In this way, the people who have cultivated the land for a year must gain a lot of money. Only in this way can they be motivated!"

Before this, when people harvested grain in autumn, most of it had to be handed over to the court, leaving only a small portion for their own families, which was just enough to make ends meet.

If there is a natural disaster and production is reduced, it will not even be enough to make ends meet.

Not to mention that if she has no childbirth, she won’t even be able to survive!

"Well, that makes some sense!"

Some of the ministers nodded in agreement.

"With the development of industry and commerce, the court can collect more taxes. After the taxes are removed from the people who farm, the remaining food can be sold to those people who have no land at home and are only engaged in industry and commerce. In this way, everyone can trade with each other and make progress together...

!”

Speaking of excitement, Little Shota jumped onto the main hall and walked back and forth among the ministers, "Of course, this is not the most important thing! The most important reason why I propose to reduce taxes is to increase the population of Daqin.

!”

"Increasing the population of Daqin? What does this have to do with reducing taxation?"

A minister asked doubtfully.

"Snapped……"

However, his question was slapped by another minister next to him.

"You seem to be stupid. People have reduced taxes and don't have money in their hands? What do you do when you have money? Just have children!"

"Well...it seems to make sense!"

Only when people have money can they feed more children.

Whoever can't protect them will be successful, Guangzong Yaozu!

"That's right! The most important thing for Great Qin now is to develop the population. If we wait until the soldiers conquer the world before we start to develop the population and immigrants, it will be too late!"

Xiao Zhengtai returned to his seat and made a final summary.

"Well, the young master is right. After the land is conquered, if you want to completely assimilate the people of a foreign country, you can't just establish a government office. You must have people immigrate, go to garrison, and gradually intermarry. After several generations of development, you can

Completely assimilate them!"

Feng Quji nodded, feeling that it made sense.

"It turns out that the young master proposed to reduce taxes not only to benefit the people, but also had such far-reaching plans!"

The ministers were filled with admiration.

A child less than eight years old could think about things so profoundly, they were ashamed of themselves!

"If the news of tax reduction comes out, the people will definitely be grateful to His Majesty, and those who rebel and become kings in the future will no longer exist!"

In Ying Feiyu's words, as long as the people of the Six Nations are fed and drunk, why should they rebel?

Now not only do they have enough to eat and drink, but taxes are also reduced, making their lives better and better, and they have no reason to rebel!

Even if you rebel, no one will respond!

"Yeah!"

A large number of ministers have already nodded and agreed with Xiaoshota's strategy.

"Although the young master's suggestion is good, once the tax revenue is reduced, what should we do if there are any natural disasters or floods, and the people's production is reduced or even eliminated, and they need help from the court? There are also paving roads, building bridges, and building dams. These are all necessary

It’s money!”

Although Feng Quji agreed with Xiao Zhengtai's opinion, he was still worried.

"Did Shangshu Feng forget the three billion gold that was just received from the treasury?"

However, Xiao Zhengtai's words left him speechless.

Yes, for such a large sum of money, it took the Department of Accounts a whole day to collect it, and it took everyone in the Department of Accounts to count it all night before they could estimate the approximate value!

Before this, Great Qin's annual tax revenue was only 30 million gold. This three billion was equivalent to Great Qin's tax revenue for a hundred years.

In other words, even if the Qin Dynasty did not collect a penny of taxes from the people for a hundred years, it could still operate as usual!

"Besides, what I'm talking about is reducing taxes, not not collecting taxes at all. In addition, conquering other countries will bring a lot of income and loot, and each country has a lot of mineral resources that can be exploited. This is quite a lot.

Each money tree can continuously bring benefits to Daqin!"

After saying that, Ying Feiyu sat back in his seat and waited for the ministers' decision.

"Yes! What the young master said makes sense!"

"According to the young master's analysis, let alone reducing taxes, even if they are completely exempted from taxes, there will be no problem, haha!"

"No, no, no, the young master has thought carefully. Once the tax is exempted, the risk is too great, but if the tax is reduced, the risk will be much smaller!"

"Well, that's right. If you reduce taxes, the people will be grateful to Your Majesty. The effect is almost the same as not collecting taxes at all. But if the people are used to not collecting taxes at all, and if you try to collect taxes in the future, the people will complain!"

"In my opinion, the young master's idea is the best. Not only does it not pose any threat to the imperial court, it can also benefit the people and increase the population of the Qin Dynasty!"

…

After some thought, all the ministers nodded in agreement with this proposal.

Ying Zheng also put down his sleeves at the right time, raised his head, glanced at the ministers with a smile, "What's the matter? Dear ladies, do you have any opinions on reducing taxes?"

"I have no objection!"

After all the ministers reached an agreement, they handed over their hands one after another.

"Haha! Okay! It's settled then!"
Chapter completed!
