I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 5 Instilling New Concepts of Governance

"Your Majesty, we have arrived in Changsha County."

If Yingzheng hadn't heard of it, he continued to ask: "What does the solar system mean by rotation and revolution? I still don't understand what the gentleman said."

This seems to be a course in middle and high school, it involves physics and so on...

Of course you, an antique from 2000 years ago, don't understand.

But Li Yu didn't dare to say that, and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since the Chefu Order has already mentioned Changsha County, let's stop here for today's astronomy, and caring about the people's sentiments is the most urgent thing."

In the past few days, Yingzheng's expression has been relaxed, and his heart is extremely happy. He invites Li Yujin to accompany him every day.

Li Yu also felt the imperial enjoyment in shock.

The experience of a six-horsepower caravan galloping on the highway is probably only seen in novels.

I also have to admire Ying Zheng, who is almost 50 years old, and still looks like a curious baby, why is the one on the left and why is the one on the right.

Ying Zheng, who was listening to the teaching, frowned when he saw Li Yu interrupting the discussion of the solar system, and looked at Zhao Gao with a hint of displeasure.

You've been with me for so many years, don't you even have this bit of vision?

Didn't you see that I was busy learning new knowledge?

Ying Zheng waved his hands impatiently and said, "Zhao Gao! Get me a civilian uniform. I want to follow Mr.'s advice and visit in private."

Zhao Gao's fair old face suddenly changed. Ever since he met this young man, all the favors that His Majesty had given him for many years disappeared like smoke.

Not only was he kicked out of the dragon chariot, but he was also called around every day...

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After replying, Zhao Gao's old face suddenly darkened.

Hey~
"Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden function of the system, the number of enemies: 1"

……

Li Yu was stunned, what's going on?
Can this system create enemies for itself?

But after thinking about it, Li Yu already had the answer in his mind. There is a good saying: Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about him, and he has more thoughts on Zhao Gao.

Not long after, Zhao Gao entered the dragon chariot with a purple shirt in his hands, and Li Yu took the opportunity to come out to breathe.

In the autumn harvest in September, looking at the golden millet fields around Zhidao, the sturdy man was busy with his head down.

Li Yu stood by the ridge and asked, "Brother, how is the grain harvest this year?"

The busy man looked up and said with a simple smile: "This year's drought, the autumn awnings are late, if you can't keep up with the grain tax collection, I'm afraid you will be arrested and sent to the north to build the Great Wall."

Li Yu was a little surprised. There was only a man harvesting millet in a large area, and he asked, "Is there no one else in the house to help?"

The man still didn't get up, he lowered his head and said busyly: "The eldest son has been conscripted to repair the Afang Palace, and the mother-in-law and the young girl are weaving hemp in the city to supplement the family income."

At this time, Ying Zheng replaced the black and gold dragon robe that symbolized his status, and his purple costume looked rich and noble.

Meng Yi, Li Si and Zhao Gao who followed behind also changed their outfits, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liang also walked towards the field.

Ying Zheng frowned when he heard the conversation between Li Yu and the man from the dealer, and asked in a low voice, "Xiangguo, how is the progress of Efang Palace?"

Li Si was a little astonished. His Majesty the First Emperor never asked about such things, but now he seemed to be a different person, and quickly replied: "Just started to build..."

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, and said again: "How many laborers are there?"

Li Si didn't dare to lie, and said truthfully, "70 coolies..."

Ying Zheng's complexion changed drastically, and he said gloomyly, "70?"

Building the Great Wall required 40 people, but Efang Palace cost 70...

If Li Yuru hadn't heard of it, he continued to say, "Then I don't know how many stones a year's grain is harvested, so there is still some leftover in the family."

Only then did the man raise his head and said, "My family has two acres of land, and I collect six stones a year and collect four stones."

Li Yu shook his head straight when he heard this. After Shang Yang's reform, the land increased, but it couldn't stand the huge tax...

"There are three people in your family, isn't that enough for three months?" Li Yu said as loudly as possible.

"The people don't have enough to eat! It's unreasonable."

Ying Zheng was hit hard, and his face was almost gloomy.

In Xianyang Palace, [-] catties of memorials are approved every day, and there is not a single article mentioning that the common people cannot eat enough every day.

If I hadn't heard it with my own ears today, I would never believe it.

Are imperial taxes already so heavy?

Li Yu said: "Shang Yang's utilitarianism has benefited the country and the people, and the land has been expanded twice, but now His Majesty has also seen it..."

When Ying Zheng heard Li Yuzhi's words, his anger gradually subsided, and he opened his mouth and said, "Sir, if you don't say anything, I should also be guilty. My empire has already been riddled with holes."

When Ying Zheng said this, he suddenly bowed to Li Yu, and said in a deep voice: "I call myself an ancestor dragon, but I can't see the world with my eyes. Gu Minsheng, if I don't have to meet my husband for a good drink, I will become an allusion of tyranny."

In his later years, Yingzheng believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, and now he also compares Li Yu as a fairy who guides him forward.

If you are not a fairy, how can you know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom.

If it is not a fairy, how can it be possible to cherish the wisdom of the ages at the age of 20.

Hey~
Li Yu got used to this prelude sound effect, as if he got used to the feeling of listening to a mobile phone text message.

As soon as he glanced at Ying Zheng, he knew that his favorability had increased.

Ying Zheng:

favorability 85
"It's not too late for His Majesty to feel the suffering of the common people. Now the priority is to put the people first..."

Yingzheng frowned, his expression changed, and he suddenly said: "Li Si, pass on my will", "In the empire, the common people's taxes will be reduced for three years; the expenses of maintaining the border army will be removed, and the local army will remove the sergeants who maintain law and order. Dismantled as the people, opened up the southern frontier as arable land."

As soon as Ying Zheng's words came out, Li Yu was shocked. This method is exactly the same as the disarmament strategy of the reform and opening up.

Worthy of being an emperor through the ages...

Li Si's complexion changed, and he replied worriedly: "Your Majesty~, if the local sergeants are removed at this time, there will be no one to suppress the survivors of the Six Kingdoms..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yu said with a smile: "Master Xiangguo, there is no need to worry too much. I have a law to deal with the worries of the survivors of the six kingdoms."

Li Si's concept of ruling the country by law has been stuck in the stage of force suppression.

This also catered to the situation of Qin Shihuang at that time, so it was described as a dynasty of tyranny by later generations.

Yingzheng felt a little unbelievable when he said those words just now, his chest heaved and his breath was rapid, and he said, "Sir, what can I do?"

"I once heard a saying that goes like this: Learning from the barbarians' skills to rule the barbarians, although it is not appropriate to use it for the current empire's troubles, but it is also the same."

"Brother Li means that the ovary is feasible to lobby?" Zhang Liang, who had been submerged for a long time, suddenly spoke, with a trace of indifference in his words.

But Li Si thought for a while, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr.'s words are so high that he really awakened the dreamer with one word. Your Majesty, this method is feasible."

Zhang Liang once drove people to assassinate Ying Zheng secretly. It is normal for Ying Zheng not to know Zhang Liang now, but Li Si is different. He was taught by Xunzi, and Xunzi was Zhang Liang's uncle.

With this kind of relationship, Zhang Lianglai, who was born in Korea, took the lead to convince hundreds of families and even the adherents of the Six Kingdoms.

Seeing Ying Zheng looking at him, Zhang Liang struggled for a moment, then looked at Li Yu, then cupped his hands and said, "If His Majesty the First Emperor does not give up, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms will be lobbied by the ovary..."

Li Yu smiled and said nothing, you have been diving for so many days, you should take advantage of it.

Without any hesitation, Ying Zheng strode up to Zhang Liang with his head held high, and said, "The person recommended by Mr. must have both ability and integrity, and I can safely abandon him."

The goodwill of the First Emperor...

Rumors...

Zhang Liang's heart has been shaken, the softness between his brows has disappeared, he cupped his hands in a deep voice and said: "It concerns the people of the world, His Majesty has entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility, Liang will set off for Dongjun today."

For some reason, Ying's coup changed, and he himself changed too.

All of this seems to be because of that foggy Brother Li.

Hey~
"Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden side mission, the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty."

The system is distracted again?

Zhang Liang:

favorability 90
Seeing Zhang Liang's favorability score popping up, Li Yu was taken aback for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, thoughtfully.
