Zi Ye is right, what's the point of picking up small gold nuggets if you don't dig a mountain of gold?

"Ye'er, in your opinion, how should the taxes of this noble gentry be collected?"

Ying Zheng thought about it, since the nobles and gentry had money, they had to collect some of it.

Otherwise, the treasury is empty, and his belt bag is flat.

Ying Ziye bowed and cupped his hands, and said with a smile:

"Father, my son thinks that taxes should be reformed!"

"This is what Erchen said. Your two incidents are nothing to Erchen."

Ying Zheng frowned. Hearing what Ziye said, he didn't want to reform.

But this is not just talk.

Reform needs to mobilize the interests of many people, and there are many resistances.

It does not mean that reforms can be reformed immediately.

Not to mention the nobles, even the ministers in the court, most of them would obstruct the reform.

Once they are reformed, their interests will be mobilized.

Seeing brother Zheng's expression, Ying Ziye knew that he also wanted to reform, but he couldn't do it.

He has thought about it, and if he wants to reform, he must start with the most basic.

Solve this problem fundamentally.

Don't look at the current Daqin that looks as stable as Mount Tai, but this is all an illusion.

Little did they know that it was already riddled with holes and was on the verge of collapse!

Once the common people can't afford to eat, the peasants will definitely rebel.

At that time, the fate of the Great Qin Dynasty will definitely be severely damaged.

And it must be uncomfortable for him to bind the fate of Daqin.

Today's Great Qin can be said to be crumbling.

Even if Brother Zheng is still alive, he probably won't be able to suppress him for long.

If the people can't afford to eat, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, it's still the peasants who revolted.

But if there is food to eat and enough to eat, no matter who is the emperor, he will not rebel.

These are all forced.

People don't care who is the emperor, they just want to have a full meal.

The current Daqin is like a car driving on the highway, if one is not careful, it may overturn.

If you want the car to run smoothly, the person at the helm is the key, but you must also maintain the various parts.

And these parts are the people of Daqin.

As long as they have enough to eat, there will be no public complaints, and the best way is to reform.

Change all the taxes, as long as the people of Daqin have enough to eat, who would risk beheading to rebel?

The quickest way to kill a fellow Taoist is to use those nobles and gentry to do the surgery.

There may be no way to reform in the past, after all, the treasury of the Daqin government is empty.

It is impossible to reform the collection of taxes.

And there is not enough food.

But as a modern Ying Ziye, he has a way to reform.

He can make the people of the world have enough to eat!

It's just...just need Brother Zheng to give you power.

"Report to Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

"Those nobles and gentry are rich, but their influence is great, and they are the cornerstone of our Great Qin."

"Once they are moved, the foundation of Daqin will be shaken!"

"If you push them into a hurry, the world will be in chaos!"

Chun Yuyue was very dissatisfied with the reform. He just lost 300 million yuan and hated the ninth son.

Now, according to the meaning of the ninth son, the reform is to use the aristocratic gentry to start the operation.

Is this worth it?You know, he is also of noble origin.

And most of the Confucianists are nobles, as for the poor students?

Don't be kidding, in Daqin, there are very few students from poor families, and they are all children of nobles.

Most of the noble children are Confucian.

Isn't the knife on the noble gentry the knife on his Confucianism?

This matter is absolutely unacceptable, he was the first to refuse!

"Your Majesty, you can't do it! The richest people in the world are the nobles. If you push them away, Great Qin will be in danger!"

"Nobles, gentry, rich and powerful people have too much influence. If they are pushed into a hurry, Daqin will be full of wars!"

"They are all loyal to my Great Qin. If they are used for no reason, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"When the treasury was short of money and food, they also contributed to the court, so it can be said that they are loyal."

"If you kill them, who will dare to be loyal to the court in the future?"

"Minister, second...!"

"Minister, second...!"

"Minister, second...!"

The court minister followed Chunyu Echigo.

They all spoke out to dissuade the first emperor from collecting taxes on the nobles and gentry in the world.

It's their interest, it's all about them.

Even His Majesty, they are unwilling to hand over these benefits.

Ying Zheng frowned even tighter.

The heart that wanted to collect taxes from nobles and gentry also hesitated.

The ministers are right, when the treasury cannot make ends meet.

These nobles and gentry have indeed extended a helping hand.

The nobles are also credited for being able to persist until now.

Now if you attack them, you will be called ungrateful.

Ying Ziye saw all of this.

Sure enough, if you want to reform, the biggest resistance is this group of old clappers!

Gradually, Ying Ziye's face turned cold.

Looking around, he glanced at everyone coldly.

"You old bastards! Submit a fart!"

"You jumped out before the reform started?"

"Is this touching your interests?"

The ministers of the court were furious, and were scolded by a brat at Old Bangzi.

They were very angry, but before they could speak, Ying Ziye continued to speak.

"You guys are so brave! How dare you lie to your superiors! There are people starving to death in every county in Daqin?"

"If there is no reform, more people will starve to death!"

"But you didn't report it, why? Are you trying to rebel?"

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers were frightened and angry, and they knelt down one after another.

If the name of this rebellion is confirmed, it will be a serious crime of beheading!

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged!"

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of rebelling, please learn from me!"

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Young Master has slandered us, please punish him!"

The ministers knelt down and shouted for grievances, and some ministers even beat him up.

Chapter 21 Tax Reform, Urgent

Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair.

The emperor's aura escaped, and everyone in the court suddenly felt pressure doubled!

Ying Zheng glanced at the minister, paused for a moment on Ying Ziye, and then moved away.

"Are there any people starving to death in the counties of Daqin?"

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers fell silent.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng knew that what Zi Ye said was true.

Regarding matters in the court, since the eradication of the six kingdoms, his focus has shifted to longevity.

Therefore, Daqin's intelligence also paid less attention to the common people.

He reviews a large number of memorials every day.

But the above did not report that the people of Daqin starved to death.

He knew that someone had intercepted the news.

Ying Zheng was furious immediately: "How dare you! How dare you hide such a big matter from the widow!"

When the emperor got angry, the situation changed!

The ministers were terrified, and they all spoke to show their innocence.

"Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with us!"

"It's Zhao Gao! He intercepted all the news about this!"

"Your Majesty, they were all made by people from Zhao Gao's faction!"

"This matter has nothing to do with us! Please learn from Your Majesty!"

Almost all the ministers pointed to Zhao Gao's faction.

But the fact is also true, these things are done by Zhao Gao.

Every time someone played, about the starvation of the people in Daqin, they were all stopped by Zhao Gao.

The euphemistic name is to share the state affairs for His Majesty, and it is better to let His Majesty know less about the troubles.

Because His Majesty's body has been weakening day by day in recent years, he also concentrates on studying longevity.

So I really didn't find this problem.

What the ministers pointed out scared the remaining ten or so ministers of Zhao Gao's faction to the ground.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! It's all done by Zhao Gao, it has nothing to do with us!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are not familiar with Zhao Gao!"

"I beg Your Majesty to show mercy!"

"I beg Your Majesty to enlighten me!"

Among these more than a dozen people, there are officials such as admonishing officials, eunuchs, and internal envoys of Zhili.

Ying Zheng's eyes were like lightning, and he looked at the dozen or so people coldly.
