Daqin: Consolidate the destiny of the country and help the ancestors live forever!

The court ministers looked at Young Master Jiu differently.

Good guy, this trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger cost 600 million yuan in one go.

You know, in Daqin, the annual salary of a prime minister is about 30 yuan.

Now they have to hand over 600 million yuan at once, even if the two share it equally, they have to pay 300 million yuan each.

This is the salary of a prime minister who does not eat or drink for ten years!

Many ministers were lucky. Fortunately, they didn't participate just now, otherwise they wouldn't be crying now.

The ministers looked at Feng Quji and Chunyuyue with ridicule in their eyes.

If there is a gap in the court hall, the two of them would like to find a gap to sneak in.

I was ashamed and threw it to my grandma's house.

"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning?"

Ying Zheng was preoccupied with betting just now.

Now the matter of the bet between them is settled.

That should also solve the two problems he raised.

He looked at the rice paper again.

I saw these eight big characters written on the rice paper.

"Ye'er, what do you mean to say, you have a way to solve the treasury and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, this can be regarded as the biggest thing for Daqin.

How did it become so insignificant in this son's mouth?

Is it arrogant?Is it ignorance?Still really sure?

The ministers also fell silent at this time.

Think of the answer written on the rice paper just now.

Brows furrowed.

What a breath!

This tone is crazy.

These two things, they have not been resolved for many years.

When it came to the ninth son, it became: a trivial matter, nothing to worry about!

How can this group of ministers feel embarrassed?

You know, Daqin has long been unable to make ends meet all these years.

To build the Great Wall, the Efang Palace, and the emperor's tomb, Qin Chi said.

These four major projects are a huge expenditure.

The salaries of officials, the military salaries of the army, and sometimes even the salaries cannot be paid.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers are old Qin people.

He didn't make any fuss because he couldn't afford the salary occasionally.

From this we can see how empty the Daqin treasury is.

It can be seen how short of money Daqin is now.

But now the ninth son actually said that it was a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.

But the other party was the ninth son, and they were in court, so they didn't dare to make too much ridicule.

I can only quietly listen to what His Majesty has to say.

Ying Ziye bowed his hands and did not answer questions in full view.

"Father, may I ask where the treasury's income comes from?"

Ying Zheng didn't know what Zi Ye meant.

But it was a quick answer.

"Of course it's Tian Fu, Miscellaneous Fu, Oral Fu, and Shang Fu."

Afraid of missing something, Ying Zheng looked at Zhili Neishi under the court.

"Come and explain to Master Jiu in detail."

"Sir, obey the order."

An old man stood up and bowed his hands.

"Reporting to Your Highness the Ninth Prince, Great Qin has Tian Fu, Shang Fu, Oral Fu, and Miscellaneous Fu."

"The land tax is also the household tax. It is collected according to the amount of land, and the land tax can be paid at most one hundred mu."

"Shangfu is the collection of Fu by merchants who buy and sell goods."

"And the oral tax is also the oral tax."

"Miscellaneous taxes refer to all kinds of exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes, and the people must pay taxes in accordance with the designated names."

"Miscellaneous Fu is a fee collected by local officials to reduce the pressure on the imperial treasury."

Ying Ziye was silent for a while.

"According to what you said, Daqin's main income is land tax and oral tax?"

"Then which one collects the most land tax or oral tax?"

Ji Kuruchi bowed and continued:

"The land tax collected on a household basis is about [-]%, while the oral tax collected on a head-to-head basis is [-]%."

"Understood, let's go down."

Ying Ziye got what he wanted to know and waved him back.

This scene made the ministers a little stunned.

Good guy, this is the early court hall of the first emperor.

His Majesty is still sitting on it.

When is it the son's turn to issue orders?

If this action offended the first emperor, he could be punished directly.

If it is light, you will be demoted, if it is serious, you will be killed!

The ministers all looked at Shi Huangdi who was sitting on the dragon chair.

They hope that His Majesty can punish Jiu Gongzi's crimes, which is too unscrupulous.

However, they were disappointed.

Only then did they realize that they were thinking too much.

I saw His Majesty who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, he didn't mean to be angry at all.

Ying Zheng was not angry, on the contrary, he was somewhat relieved.

Ziye has made meritorious service recently, and this is his son.

If he can be stronger, he will let it go even more.

This is quite a shadow of him back then.

"Ye'er, can you tell me about your solution now?"

Ying Zheng had a glimmer of expectation in his heart, maybe this son might surprise him.

After all, the few things he has done recently cannot be done by a dandy.

"Father, there is a problem with the direction of your tax collection!"

"All the taxpayers are poor people, how can they give you any money?"

"No wonder the treasury is almost empty."

Ying Zheng was stunned.

"If you don't collect the common people's tax, who will collect it?"

Ying Ziye didn't want to be a secret anymore.

"Of course it's the collection of rich people!"

Rich people?

Ying Zheng was taken aback again.

The rich man of Daqin......

Aren't rich people just those nobles and gentry?

"The nobles and gentry are the richest people in the Qin Dynasty. Why didn't the court go to them to collect taxes?"

"Instead of collecting so much tax from the poor people?"

"You know, they frequently acquire tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, but the land tax only collects a maximum of one hundred mu. Why is that?"

"This is equivalent to the imperial court just picking up the gold particles and giving up the gold bars beside it."

"Dozens of ordinary people can't stand up to a noble gentry."

Ying Ziye pointed out this question in one breath.

"This......"

Ying Zheng was speechless.

He never thought about it.

His mind had always been on the military.

Later, after my body became weaker and weaker, my mind has always been on longevity.

Chapter 20 In the early court, the minister was angry

He handed over all these tax matters to the ministers below.

After all, his energy alone is limited.

It's impossible to do everything yourself.

Listening to what Zi Ye said now, it seems that there is a problem.

Before the treasury was empty, he directly ordered an increase in taxes.

I never thought that oppressing the common people like this would make them miserable.

The taxes collected are still decreasing year by year.

Daqin is not without money.

It's just... the direction of collection is wrong!

Daqin is not short of money, but the money is in the hands of nobles and gentry!

They are so rich, but their taxes are the same as those of ordinary people!

Even some gentry colluded with the government and didn't even have to pay taxes.

Over the years, wars have cost countless dollars.

After the tax was increased, the people were almost destitute, and some even starved to death!

But those aristocrats and gentry live happily!

Since there is no tax to be levied on the people.

Why not levy it from the nobles and gentry?

Ying Zheng frowned, and when Jing Ziye said this, he suddenly realized!
