Daqin: Zulong Asked Me to Be the Prince

Inside the main hall.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne and closed his eyes slightly.

Everyone had already saluted, but he didn't give him a seat as usual, but kept silent.

If he doesn't speak, who dares to get up?

One by one, they were all standing and holding hands, not daring to move.

The temple people under the steps couldn't help but reminded in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"All the ministers have already saluted..."

Ying Zheng raised his eyes slightly, glanced at him, and said indifferently:

"yes?

"The capital of civil servants and generals has not yet arrived, so why are all the ministers salute?

"Get out!

The temple people suddenly trembled in their hearts and were too frightened to say another word.

At the same time, the ministers couldn't help but look up to the front.

There, indeed, there are two vacancies!

One, belongs to the prime minister of the right!

The other one belongs to Wang Jian, Marquis of Wucheng!

But they also know more or less... Wang Jian has quietly returned home! Wang Ben is leading the army again...

According to the ranking, that position should be Mengwu.

But 19 Meng Wu deliberately left it empty and did not dare to go forward!

Who is this... waiting for?

"The old minister is one step late, please forgive the king.

Everyone was guessing in their hearts, but heard a voice behind them.

I saw Kui Zang, with Qin Feng's help, crossed the group of ministers all the way, came to the front, stood in front of the position of the Prime Minister on the right, and bowed his hands in salute.

"My son went to help the old prime minister, so I came late, please forgive me. 35

Qin Feng smiled casually and cupped his hands.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

"The old prime minister is the pillar of the country. He has worked hard for Da Qin for a long time. Now his legs and feet are inconvenient. Even if he makes the widow and the ministers wait for a while, it should be, what's the sin?

He smiled and waved,

"Qin Feng, as the son of a widow, you should support this old minister. If you support him, you are helping the widow!"5

"All innocent!

"Join in!

The two shook hands and thanked each other.

Kui Zhuang was standing at the head of the civil servants, but Qin Feng turned around and filled the vacancy of the number one general, ranking before Meng Wu!

One old and one young, a very personable minister, the contrast is stark!

Minister: "!!!

They were shocked!

No one thought that Qin Feng, who was under 20 years old, would be able to stand in that position!

Even if he is currently serving as the general of the inner guard in the palace, he is Meng Wu's superior... but in terms of titles and qualifications, he should not be ranked first!

Li Si raised his head, glanced at Ying Zheng quietly, and frowned.

King Qin's expression did not fluctuate, it seems that he acquiesced!

In this way, Qin Feng's status and right to speak will rise again, and the threat is getting bigger and bigger!

"Excuse me, sit down!

Ying Zheng ordered.

Only then did the ministers fold their hands, sit when they should sit, and continue to stand when they should stand.

"In just a few days, a lot of big things happened in my Daqin!"

Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers and said with a smile,

"Since the last widow's great court meeting on finances, many ministers have given memoirs and suggestions to widows! But only the commercial tax bill proposed by Qin Feng, who is less senior, can have an immediate effect!"5

"Once the new business tax was introduced, it really yielded a lot! 35

"Master Shaofu, tell us about the current tax situation!"

Lu Zheng had already made preparations, and when he heard the king's call, he stepped out of the queue with a high-spirited expression.

"Reporting to the king, the business tax was proposed by the young master and executed by the ministers and court officials together.

He said in a loud voice,

"The implementation was not smooth at first, and many merchants did not cooperate."

"But under Tingwei's tough measures, the imperial court raided dozens of merchants in one day, and the stolen property exceeded 30 million yuan! 35

"This has played a role in killing chickens and warning monkeys! But there are also some negative effects.

"Fortunately, Shao Shang Zuo gave a speech in front of the resettlement wooden platform, took the lead in paying more than 1,100,000 commercial taxes, and even announced the Daqin decree to reduce agricultural taxes, dispelling the concerns of the people and businessmen! 39

"Since then, there are countless people who pay business tax every day and make up the taxes for the past years! There are also countless people who apply for mortgage payment!"

"As of yesterday, in Guangxianyang, the Shaofu has collected 70 million in business taxes, and the treasury is unprecedentedly rich!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng showed a rare bright smile, stroked his beard and nodded.

Clearly, he was extremely pleased with the figure!

"Wei Chen predicts that after collecting all the business taxes of all the merchants in Qin, even after deducting all the expenses of the battle against Chu and Qi, the balance of the treasury of my Daqin this year is the most conservative, and it is expected to be more than 300 million yuan!"5

Lu Zheng said passionately,

"This is the abundance that Qin has never had since the founding of the country!

"Even if you add up the surplus of Qin Wangzheng from one to twenty years, it will not be as good as this year! 39

"Weichen, congratulate the king and congratulate Qin!

As soon as this statement came out, all the ministers were shocked!

Holy crap, so many?!

300 million! It took tens of millions of dollars to fight a war against Chu!

This is ten times more direct... Isn't the country of Qin going to be so rich?!

"The ministers and others congratulate the king, and congratulate the state of Qin!"

The ministers hurriedly handed over their congratulations.

Li Si stared at Lu Zheng coldly. Although he felt unhappy in his heart, he could only congratulate him together.

This old man!

In the implementation of the 183 business tax, Li Si obviously contributed the most, but he faintly put all the credit on Qin Feng!

Even with a bit of scorn for his approach!

It's really frustrating!

"Hahaha...very good, very good!

Ying Zheng, who was extremely satisfied, said with a big smile,

"The treasury is so abundant that when the widow will do great things in the future, there is no need to worry about money and food!

"In this matter, Qin Feng should take the lead! This business tax was proposed by him, and he also took the lead by example. It's really high!"

"Furthermore, the Young Master and Tingwei are also a lot of trouble, and the two of them are listed as secondary merits!"

"The rest of the participants will be credited with one turn of merit, and they will be rewarded together when the officials are evaluated!"5

Qin Feng and Li Si quickly delisted.

"Thank you King for your grace!" Together, the three of them thanked Qin Feng as the head.

"The second thing is about the agricultural tax.

Ying Zheng looked at Qin Feng and said,

"This matter is also proposed by the young master! Reduce the agricultural tax by 10%!

"Back then, the widow was still hesitant and unwilling to make such a major decision, because the agricultural tax is the foundation of the country's tax revenue!

"But in the end, under the balance of the widow, I still agreed!!"

"And the facts have proved that reducing the agricultural tax is indeed a great deed for the benefit of the country and the people, and it has also removed an extremely dangerous hidden danger in our Daqin!
