Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 331 Zhao Si is not afraid of death, the first emperor accepts advice!
To reduce corvee and tax is to offend Legalism!
But it is not impossible to mention this matter. Da Qin is not a legal school. According to the current attitude of the First Emperor to get close to Zhao Si, with Zhao Si taking the lead, it is not impossible for other schools to follow suit and charge into the battle.

There are too many people who are dissatisfied with the Legalist concept of governing the country, and among them there are also talents who dare to confront the Legalists.

For example, Shusun Tong really planned to follow him for a moment.

The high probability of others raising and lowering corvee and reducing taxes is a repeated failure, but Zhao Si might really succeed.

However, when Zhao Si proposed to demote the corvee, he had no idea where to demote him, so he proposed to demote him from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and Afang Palace.

"Didn't we discuss the cooperation with the First Emperor?" Shusun Tong cursed and retracted his half-step.

It’s okay to lower corvees from the frontier army, from the Great Wall, or from roads all over the world, but if you plan to propose to lower corvees from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and the Afang Palace, it’s tantamount to a dead end.

"This guy didn't tell me that this happened?" Wang Jian frowned and looked at Wang Li.

"Father, I don't make it either..." Wang Li scratched his head.

"Zhao Si didn't tell me either..."

Wang Jian glanced at Wang Li, who looked confused, and sighed in vain.

But he began to think in his heart.

Was this agreed upon with the First Emperor, or was Zhao Si a fool?

Not only Wang Jian, but also everyone present who wanted to follow up had such worries.

"Stop the mausoleum, stop the Afang Palace?" No expression could be seen on the face of the First Emperor, which was shrouded in a crown.

"Yes!" Zhao Si nodded loudly.

"Overwhelmed, the people are in dire straits? Our territory in the Qin Dynasty has reached this point?" The first emperor asked this question not Zhao Si, but the civil and military officials.

Faced with this extremely sensitive issue, for a while, no one dared to take the lead.

When Shusun Tong saw this, his mind changed rapidly. Looking at this situation, he was afraid that Zhao Si's nonsense might have angered the First Emperor.

The good news is that Zhao Si is someone who can win over him. In some ways, he is even like-minded. However, Zhao Si is close to the First Emperor and the weight of his words cannot be compared with that of ordinary people.

Bad news, the First Emperor was angry, and it was Zhao Si who was the cause.

Shusun Tong's mind changed rapidly, and he pondered for a moment before stepping out: "Your Majesty, in today's Qin Dynasty, the taxation is ten times that of ancient times, with 2000 million people, no less than [-] people serve, and every family takes one ding. The weight of the corvee is also This has never happened before. Although Zhao Shangqing is exaggerating, the people in Qin are indeed overwhelmed..."

Shusuntong still followed, for no other reason than to share some firepower with Zhao Si, not because of his friendship with Zhao Si, but because Zhao Si was a worthy candidate.

As long as it is not compatible with Legalism, it is my Confucian good friend.

"Now, the world has been settled, the Huns have surrendered, and counties have been established in South Vietnam. It is the time to recuperate and recuperate..." Shusun Tong carefully weighed his words, trying to cover up Zhao Si's plan to start from the First Emperor's Mausoleum and The truth behind Afang Gong’s thoughts.

"My minister agrees!"

After all, there is no shortage of courageous people in this court.

This time I was following Zou Feng, the living fossil of the Yin Yang family.

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

This time I followed the contemporary leader of the farmer, Tian Xin, who was tricked by Zhao Si into thinking about Mendel's pea experiment.

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

This time I followed a doctor from Confucianism.

"I also second the proposal." This time it was a Lang Guan who followed.

There were not many people following him, but there were also quite a few. They all unanimously ignored the fact that Zhao Si wanted to focus on the First Emperor's Mausoleum and Afang Palace.

They began to propose that some border troops should be disbanded and some insignificant infrastructure construction should be stopped...

There are many reasons. There are many people who do not agree with Legalist governance, but it is not necessary to say that those who follow are loyal people.

"According to what Zhao Qing said, this mausoleum and Afang Palace must be stopped?" the First Emperor asked again.

It was useless to cover up. The First Emperor pursued this point and attacked fiercely. All the officials were silent for a moment. Only his uncles, Tongtian Xin and Zou Feng still insisted on supporting Zhao Si.

"Now that Fusang has the honor of gold and silver, resting with the people does not have to stop the construction of the mausoleum and Afang Palace..." Shusun Tong wanted to make amends for Zhao Si.

Zhao Si looked at the First Emperor with slight confusion.Obviously, the reduction of corvees and taxes was discussed with the First Emperor in advance, and the stop at Afang Palace and Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum was also agreed upon by the First Emperor...

Then, why did the First Emperor not directly agree and why so many changes happened out of thin air?
Could it be that the First Emperor changed his mind before the battle?

Zhao Si thought deeply and felt that the First Emperor was not such a person who changed his mind at the last moment.

While thinking about why the First Emperor staged such a good show, Zhao Si suddenly realized the key.

"It's a bit messy..."

Zhao Si seemed to understand a little bit.

Zhao Si, whose thoughts were a bit confused, ignored Shusun Tong's apology and said with emotion: "We have to stop!"

"Does it have to stop?" the First Emperor asked again.

Shusuntong didn't dare to interrupt this time.

Zhao Si still replied loudly and firmly: "We have to stop!"

The First Emperor was silent...

The atmosphere above the court suddenly became strange.

Zhao Si also realized what the purpose of the First Emperor's show today was.

"Aren't you afraid to cry?" Shi Huang asked again after a long silence.

The voice seemed to be deliberately gloomy, but Zhao Si already knew it, but the expression on his face did not show it. Instead, he stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has unified the whole world. In one word, there are countless lives and deaths. Naturally afraid.

But a good minister should not watch things develop in the wrong direction just because of fear.
A general should not be afraid of dying in battle, and an official should not be afraid of dying because of admonishment.

There is great terror in the encounter between life and death, and people are naturally afraid of it.

But everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. If you die, you will die. Is it okay to die in a country? "

Zhao Si had already realized what the First Emperor's purpose was, but on such an occasion, Zhao Si, who was not very talented in literature, could only copy what he was doing and make an unqualified copycat.

In addition to being ashamed of being Wen Chaogong, what is left in my heart is only moved.

The First Emperor, this is treating today's meeting as his stage for Zhao Si...

If Zhao Si can't figure out that this is to build momentum for himself, then he is a real fool.

The First Emperor was silent when he heard the sound, and all the officials looked sideways at Zhao Si.

Under such pressure, although Zhao Si's words seemed to be pieced together, the meaning Zhao Si wanted to express was very clear.

Everyone will die, but dying for the country is more important than Mount Tai.

Integrity is the most easily infected thing. At this moment, Zhao Si was truly accepted by most people.

As colleagues, not as hawks and dogs of the First Emperor.

Of course, the premise is that Zhao Si can withstand the thunder of the First Emperor.

However, to everyone's surprise, the First Emperor remained silent for a long time, but did not vent his anger.

Just nodded slightly.

"allow!"

Under the crown, no one could still see clearly the expression of the First Emperor.

Only Wang Jian, after the initial daze and shock, showed a look of understanding on his face as the First Emperor performed the music accurately.

"Your Majesty is still Your Majesty..." Wang Jian sighed.

This skill kills two birds with one stone, and it can be said to be a wonderful use.

Of course, one fact that has to be admitted is that His Majesty is really close to this boy Zhao Si.

Otherwise, even if he did it smoothly, Zhao Si would not lose his reputation in vain.
