Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 8 To solve the emptiness of the national treasury, ruthless means must be used! Kill if you must!

Fusu was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Xuan's words. He took a deep breath and looked at Lin Xuan:

"Brother Lin Xuan, please tell me how to get these squires and nobles to donate some property to the national treasury!"

After Fusu finished speaking, he stood up and looked at Lin Xuan with his hands raised in salute.

The Qin Dynasty had been fighting for years and its treasury was empty. This problem could not help but trouble my father.

Fusu was also very anxious when he thought about the empty treasury.

He also thought of some methods, but the results were not very good.

Now Lin Xuan in front of him actually had a way to solve the emptiness of the treasury, which made Fusu very excited.

"I have a question for you, sir. The reason why these squires and nobles have so much fertile land and rich property must have a lot to do with the officials in the DPRK, right?"

Fusu was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Xuan's words. Soon Fusu came to his senses and looked at Lin Xuan and said:
"Brother Lin Xuan is right. These squires and nobles are related to many ministers in the court."

"Some squires and nobles are brothers of the ministers of the court, and some have sisters who marry a certain minister of the court."

"With the support of the ministers of the court, these squires and nobles have many fertile fields and receive a lot of food and grass every year."

"If these grains and grass are sold by the squires and nobles, they can get a lot of money. These squires and nobles will also donate some of the money to the ministers related to them."

"It is precisely because of this that my son's attempt to get some money from the squires and nobles failed."

"When the ministers of the DPRK and China encounter such a thing, they will definitely oppose it with all their strength because it involves their property."

Fusu said with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. He had only mentioned it in the court.

Being opposed by other ministers, my father could not say anything more when he saw so many ministers objecting.

"hehe!"

"People die for money and birds die for food. If the prince wants to get money from them, they will naturally resist."

"For the taxes on Da Qin's land, the gentry and nobles must pay the same amount of money as ordinary people, right?"

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and asked another question.

"Brother Lin Xuan is right. No matter how much land the squires and nobles have, they still pay the same taxes as ordinary people."

Fusu answered Lin Xuan's question.

"I already know the power behind the squire and nobles, and I also understand the tax."

"If you want these squires and nobles to donate money to the national treasury, there is a way to do it."

"But this method requires you to do it yourself, sir. As long as you do it, the emptiness of Da Qin's treasury will be solved."

"But Master, you will offend many ministers, squires and nobles. Even the impression you left on others will change. Many people will even say you are cruel."

"Master, can you accept this?"

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and his expression became serious.

"Brother Lin Xuan, if you have any ideas, just say it. As long as Fusu can do it, there is nothing to fear even if thousands of people accuse him."

"Fusu doesn't ask for praise from everyone, he just wants to live up to his true feelings."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and spoke loudly with a serious face.

"Well said, this is Master Fusu of Great Qin!"

"As the future emperor of Great Qin, you should have this kind of momentum."

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard Fusu's words. Fusu had indeed begun to change.

The rotten Confucian aura on his body has gradually dissipated, and he has begun to have the aura that a superior person should have.

"His Majesty will mention the empty treasury tomorrow morning, and other ministers will not be willing to spend money."

"All they can do is increase the taxes on the people. You can give your Majesty some advice."

"Let the gentry and nobles in Da Qin donate part of their money to solve the emptiness of the national treasury."

"And I suggest that your Majesty change the bill on the annual taxes paid by the squires and nobles."

"According to the fertile land owned by the squires and nobles, corresponding taxes will be collected."

"In this way, the empty treasury can naturally be solved." "As for the objections of those ministers, the young master will be tougher this time."

"Young Master can ask your Majesty to lead a large army to surround the home of a squire and nobleman."

"If this squire and nobleman do not agree to donate part of their property, the young master can kill the whole family and flush all the property into the treasury."

"Put this news on a notice and let other squires and nobles know that this is what will happen."

"These squires and nobles are not good people. They usually rely on their connections with the ministers of the DPRK and China."

"They were tyrannical and committed all kinds of evil. When the Qin Dynasty conquered the six kingdoms, these squires and nobles did not provide any food or fodder for the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty."

"It's a disaster for these people to stay. If they want to survive, they have to give up part of their property."

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, there was a hint of ruthlessness on his face. Lin Xuan did not dare to use this plan against ordinary people.

Lin Xuan didn't feel the slightest burden towards these squires and nobles who did all kinds of evil.

The money they own is not clean in itself, so don't blame them for being ruthless now that they are reluctant to part with it.

Fusu was stunned when he heard Lin Xuan's words. He thought he knew Lin Xuan very well.

After hearing what Lin Xuan just said, he realized that he still didn't really understand Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's words just now were full of murderous intent, which made Fusu feel a little afraid in his heart.

"Brother Lin Xuan's strategy is very good, but I think it's a little cruel."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

He had always been kind and had some changes under Lin Xuan's teachings. He still felt a little cruel after hearing Lin Xuan's words just now.

"Hey!"

Lin Xuan sighed inwardly when he heard Fusu's words. He knew that Fusu would not completely change so quickly.

Kindness is Fusu's greatest characteristic. After hearing his words, Fusu's kind heart began to move again.

"It is truly cruel to use this tactic against the common people. It is very good for these squires and nobles who have done all the bad things."

"This is the only way to get these squires and nobles to obediently donate part of their family wealth."

"The treasury of Great Qin is empty, which is a great crisis for Great Qin."

"Excessive measures should be used in emergency situations. Master, please do not be merciful."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu seriously. He could not let Fusu continue to be so kind.

Fusu was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Xuan's words, and quickly reacted and looked at Lin Xuan with a serious face:

"I will remember what Brother Lin Xuan said. I will propose this matter to my father tomorrow morning."

"These squires and nobles have so much ill-gotten wealth, it's time for them to donate it."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and made a promise.

"Lin Xuan uses this glass of wine to wish the young master to solve the emptiness of the treasury."

Lin Xuan raised his wine glass and looked at Fusu with a smile on his face.

Now the Qin Dynasty is relatively stable because the First Emperor is still there. Once the First Emperor is no longer in the Qin Dynasty, the shortcomings of the Qin Dynasty will be revealed immediately.

Lin Xuan could only give Fu Su strong medicine and ask him to assist Ying Zheng in changing this crisis situation.

Xianyang City, Hu Hai’s residence!
"Humph!"

"Get out of here, Master!"

Hu Hai entered the meeting hall of the mansion and looked at the servants on both sides with an angry look on his face.

The servants trembled when they heard Hu Hai's words and quickly left the hall.

Hu Hai was the only one left in the hall. "Bang!" Hu Hai threw an exquisite antique to the ground.

"Master, please don't get angry and be careful with yourself!"

When Hu Hai was about to throw another antique, he heard a soft voice.
