The Restoration of the Great Qin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 832 Benhou's Saber Is Not For Display
"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Li Fa caught the iron sword that Ying Fei handed over.Holding the iron sword tightly with both hands, at this moment Li Fa became sharp and full of murderous aura.

Li Fa knows in his heart how difficult it is to register households for Qimin. At this moment in the Kyushu of the Central Plains, less than half of the total population can be recorded as registered households.

The taxes needed for the operation of the entire Han Dynasty need to be drawn from this half of the people.It is precisely because of this that the people of the Han Dynasty were in dire straits.

When a dynasty declines and goes to the later stage, due to the growth of aristocratic families and local tyrants, it is inevitable that land mergers will occur and the people will live in dire straits.

……

But Li Fa understood better that the other half of the population had all become domestic slaves, servants or tenant farmers of the aristocratic families.

Just like Mr. Mengchang, one of the four sons of the Warring States Period, there are 3000 diners alone.To feed so many diners, one can imagine how many industries and how many tenant farmers there are?
"Li Fa, this Marquis has full authority over the matter of registering the Qimin people. I only have one request. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not kill you, causing unrest among the people."

"promise."

Watching Li Fa leave, Ying Fei's expression was not only dignified, but also excited.

He knew better than anyone else that land annexation had been serious since the end of the Han Dynasty, and the power of aristocratic families and local tyrants continued to increase.

Ying Fei still remembered that when Mi Zhu married his sister back then, the dowry alone was worth a thousand dollars, and she married [-] servants as dowry.This shows how powerful the servants hidden in the hands of local tyrants are.

What really horrified Qin Hou Yingfei was that the house slaves, servants, and tenant farmers of aristocratic families were not included in the registered households, and these house slaves, servants, and tenant farmers only had to be responsible to the master.

When the state recruits strong men, they don't have to pay the tax. When the state collects poll tax, they don't have to pay tax. Even when the state collects land tax, tenant farmers of aristocratic families don't have to pay tax.

This is simply a country within a country, an existence that Qinhou Yingfei absolutely cannot tolerate.

……

The next day, Li Fa took Qin Hou Yingfei's saber and led three thousand iron eagle warriors to the Fushi county government.

After discussion by Ying Fei and other people, it was decided to register Qimin as a household from Fushi County. Under the watchful eyes of the Qinhou Mansion, they are not afraid of changes in Fushi County.

What's more, Li Fa is holding Qinhou's saber, which means that Qinhou Yingfei is here in person.

……

ten days later.

Since both the military and the government are carrying out reforms non-stop, Qin Hou Yingfei, the head of the government, has been idle.

……

Taking a sip of tea, Qin Hou Yingfei gently put down the bamboo slips in his hand, lay down on the seat, and thought about the reform.

"My lord, there is news from the Fushi county government."

Hearing this, Qin Hou Yingfei was startled, and hurriedly said loudly, "Send it in."

Because he knew in his heart what Fushi County was doing, and because of this, Ying Fei paid more attention in his heart, because Qi Min, the registered household of Fushi County, affected his whole body.

"promise."

Lin Feng didn't know about Qinhou Yingfei's concerns. At this moment, he just walked in through the study door.

"My lord, a letter from Li Fa has arrived!"

Lin Feng took out the bamboo slip from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Hou Yingfei.He knew in his heart that such a major matter must not be delayed, and only Qin Hou Yingfei could make a decision.

"Bring it."

After receiving the bamboo slips handed over by Lin Feng, Ying Fei frowned, then opened it, and set her eyes on the bamboo slips.

"3 registered households, [-] Qimin..."

Looking at the handwriting on the bamboo slips, Ying Fei's eyes flashed murderous intent, and he became extremely angry.

The information on the bamboo slips directly hit Qinhou Yingfei by mistake. As the land of four prefectures, Fushi County, the capital under Qinhou's mansion, unexpectedly had only 3 registered households and [-] people.

This is simply a joke in the world. According to the population density in Fushi County, even if there are not 50 people, there are 30.

There are 3 registered households and only [-] Qimin. This is not even half, not even one-tenth.

"Is it true that Ben Hou's iron sword is not good?"

With a loud shout, Qin Hou Yingfei jumped up against the crime. At this moment, he had a thought in his heart, wishing to send a hundred thousand troops to eradicate these aristocratic families and local tyrants.

"Lin Feng."

Seeing Qinhou Yingfei's fury, although Lin Feng didn't know what happened, he knew that it must have something to do with Lin Feng in Fushi County.

At this thought, Lin Feng frowned, and quickly bowed towards Ying Fei, saying.

"Lord."

Taking a deep look at Lin Feng, Ying Fei's eyes were full of murderous intent, he stared at Lin Feng and said.

"Tell Lin Feng to thoroughly investigate this matter. Benhou's sword is not for decoration, but for killing people."

"promise."

……

With a nod of promise, Lin Feng quickly turned and left.He knew in his heart that this time the aristocratic families and local tyrants in Fushi County had completely angered Qinhou Yingfei.

A storm targeting aristocratic families and local tyrants is inevitable.

"Too deceiving!"

In Qin Hou Yingfei's view, such insanity of the aristocratic family is simply looking for death.He had already left a front line, but the aristocratic family and the local tyrants blatantly ignored it.

……

"My lord, news came from my lord, saying: Qin Hou's sword is not for decoration, but for killing people!"

The news of the Black Ice Terrace reached Li Fa's ears in just a few hours, and at the same time, the rich families and local tycoons in Fushi County also heard the news.

Both the aristocratic family and the local tyrants knew that this time they hit a nail.Qin Hou Yingfei's butcher knife was raised high.

……

The royal family in the north of the city.

"Master, Qin Hou was furious when he saw Li Fa's reply, and told Li Fa directly that his Qin Hou's saber is not a decoration but a murderous weapon."

Hearing this, Wang Qiong's face flashed a solemn look.He knew in his heart that this time Qin Hou Yingfei might not resolutely stop. Next, the high-ranking officials and nobles in Fushi County and the local tyrants will usher in a baptism of iron and blood.

"As expected of the Marquis of Qin, he dared to take action directly now, wanting to use his strength to suppress all opposing forces."

With a murmur, looking at the butler who turned his head to look at the housekeeper who couldn't help him up the wall, Wang Qiong's eyes flashed murderous intent, and said coldly.

"Immediately notify the Song and Zhao families in the city, saying that the head of the family has something to discuss, and invite them to be guests at their house."

"promise."

……

All of a sudden, Fushi County was in turmoil. Under the strength of Qinhou Yingfei, the Qinhou Saber in Li Fa's hand was like a sharp blade hanging above everyone's heads at all times.

Wang Qiong knew in his heart that at this moment, only the other families in the city could be united. Only in this way could Qin Hou Yingfei be wary of the mouse and not be able to act recklessly.

"Success or failure depends on one move, I don't believe it anymore, Qin Hou Yingfei will really start killing regardless of everything, and wipe out all the aristocratic families and local tycoons in the entire Fushi County."

Now, Wang Qiong can only hold on to the last second with the courage to gamble.
