The Qin Empire marched eastward to destroy the six eastern kingdoms. This was a national policy war that the Qin Empire had long prepared for. It was not surprising that Xiao Yu wanted to destroy the six eastern kingdoms.
"Also, the Great Qin Empire's criminal laws are too harsh. Your cabinet must revise the laws. From now on, the agricultural tax in the Great Qin Empire will be reduced to 1/20, and the commercial tax will be reduced to 1/30."
Wang Guan hurriedly bowed and said,
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. If the tax rate is lowered, the Qin Empire will be short of money and food, and it will also be disadvantageous to the Qin Empire in launching wars."
"Please think twice, Your Majesty."
Li Si, Wei Liaozi and other ministers also spoke up.
Although lowering the tax rate is beneficial to the people, the Qin Empire will lack money and food in the future, and its national strength will decline rapidly.
In each empire,
The lowest agricultural tax is 10% tax and 2% tax.
The lowest commercial tax is 15% of the tax rate.
They didn't expect Xiao Yu to lower the tax so much.
Xiao Yu waved his hand and continued,
"No need to elaborate, Wang Guan. The Western Suburbs Camp has 10 million taels of gold and 30 million taels of silver. You are responsible for transporting them to the national treasury. Your cabinet will be responsible for the money from now on."
"Hangu Pass and Jiuyuan each have one million dan of grain, and your cabinet will also be responsible for that."
The officials in the hall were all stunned.
Ten million gold?
More than three thousand silver?
The Great Qin Empire did not have so much money in its treasury. It would take the Great Qin Empire 20 years to spend all the money.
Hangu Pass and Jiuyuan each had one million dan of grain.
Two million grains,
During the war,
An army of one million will never lack food for ten years.
All the officials looked at Xiao Yu in disbelief. How could Xiao Yu have so much money and food?
but,
All the ministers were very excited that the Qin Empire had so much money and food.
A year after the war,
The Qin Empire will become even more powerful.
The overly harsh criminal law was revised.
Taxes have been greatly reduced.
The people of the Great Qin Empire will support Xiao Yu even more, and the Great Qin Empire will become more prosperous in the future.
Xiao Yu stood up and said,
"Alright, today's court meeting ends here. Wang Guan, your cabinet must begin operations as soon as possible. The Great Qin Empire cannot afford to be in chaos."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
510 The prince and the other ministers were speechless.
Is the court meeting over?
It's over in less than a quarter of an hour?
In the past, their court sessions would take at least an hour, and when there were many state affairs, it would take two or three hours. This was the first time for all the ministers to experience such a short court session.
After Xiao Yu left,
Wang Guan said with a serious face,
"Everyone, the king has delegated power to us, but don't try to fool or deceive him."
"The king has the Luowang assassin and the White Bird killer at his disposal. If you don't want the king to find out and execute you, you should each perform your duties and assist the king."
Wei Liaozi said coldly,
"That's right. Since the king trusts us and has given us such great power, if anyone behaves ungratefully, even if the king doesn't notice, our cabinet will report it to the king."
Li Si said to everyone,
"Our great king is extraordinary. The harsh criminal laws will be revised, and the people's tax rates will be greatly reduced. In less than a year, the people of the Great Qin Empire will support the king."
Dun Ruo stroked his beard and smiled.
"Everyone, from now on, each of you will perform your duties. The Great Qin Empire will become increasingly powerful. The six eastern kingdoms will be destroyed within five years. We will all be remembered for eternity."
The ministers in the hall nodded one after another.
They understood the terror of the nets and the birds, and they did not dare to deceive Xiao Yu.
Besides the revision of the criminal law and the reduction of tax rates,
The Great Qin Empire will undergo great changes in the future. Within a year, the people will be very supportive of Xiao Yu, and the Great Qin Empire will become rich, powerful, and formidable.
"I will do my best to assist the king."
"My king will live forever."
"The Great Qin Empire will last ten thousand years."
Chapter 128: Princess Pingyang’s wedding? Xiao Yu decided to go to the Tang Empire!
Ten days later,
The entire Xianyang city,
Do not,
The people of the entire Qin Empire were in an uproar. The new Qin King actually lowered taxes.
Agricultural tax is 20% of the tax rate.
The commercial tax is 1% of the 30% tax.
We must also amend the harsh criminal law.
Exemption from corvee labor.
The people of the Great Qin Empire spread the news.
All the people were very happy.
The harsh criminal law of the Qin Dynasty needs to be revised so that people who commit minor offenses will no longer have their ears or noses cut off.
The agricultural tax in the Qin Empire was 30% before, but it was reduced to 10% after that. The people were also exempted from corvee labor, and they shed tears of joy.
"Long live the king, long live the Qin Empire!"
"Long live the king, long live the Qin Empire!"
"Long live the king, long live the Qin Empire!"
People from all over the Qin Empire knelt on the ground, shouting and kowtowed towards the direction of Xianyang City.
Qin Palace,
Xiao Yu had a very enjoyable ten days. Queen Mother Huayang and Queen Mother Zhao Ji were extremely beautiful because of his caress, but he just couldn't get the Moon Goddess.
Yan Fei arrived six days ago,
At the end of the night, Xiao Yu ate the sexy and attractive Yan Fei.
The beautiful and attractive Dongjun Yanfei,
Xiao Yu enjoyed Yan Fei's tenderness, and he also enjoyed Yan Fei's passionateness.
In Zhangtai Palace,
Queen Mother Huayang saw Xiao Yu lying on the couch,
She patted Xiao Yu and asked, "Husband, don't you want to go out and move around for a while?"
Xiao Yu opened his eyes and smiled, "Madam, I'm just thinking about something."
Queen Mother Huayang rolled her eyes at Xiao Yu and said,
"Thinking about something? What are you thinking about? It's Concubine Yan who is handling state affairs in the court. Besides causing trouble for us, what have you done in the past ten days?"
The Queen Mother Huayang did not expect that
Xiao Yu will let Yan Fei handle state affairs,
The cabinet handles minor matters in the empire.
What's the big deal?
Xiao Yu was still dealing with it a few days ago,
But after Yan Fei arrived,
Xiao Yu actually asked Yan Fei to deal with it. The little bastard has been causing trouble for them day and night.
Queen Mother Huayang likes to stay with Xiao Yu.
But Xiao Yu kept bothering her and tormenting her every day, and she couldn't stand Xiao Yu tormenting her every day.
Xiao Yu hugged the voluptuous body of Empress Dowager Huayang and said, "Madam, I just want to spend more time with you..."
Queen Mother Huayang leaned in Xiao Yu's arms and said,
"Accompany us? You want to harm us, right? Zhao Ji went to Tianxin Villa to avoid you. The Moon Goddess quickly dodged and left when she saw you."
"You've been causing me so much trouble every day that I feel completely powerless. If it weren't for Yan Fei being so busy these past few days, I'm afraid I would have been so exhausted by you that I wouldn't be able to do anything today."
Xiao Yu kissed Queen Mother Huayang and asked, "Madam, don't you like it?"
"My dear husband, I like you, but you can't neglect state affairs for the sake of beauty."
"Madam, you are wrong. I am not interested in being the King of Qin. If it were not for the situation, I would rather live in the underworld than be the King of Qin."
Queen Mother Huayang looked at Xiao Yu in confusion.
Xiao Yu doesn’t want to be king?
She discovered that Xiao Yu really didn't want to be king,
Xiao Yu delegated power to the cabinet ministers,
After Yan Fei arrived,
Xiao Yu let Yan Fei manage the state affairs of Daqin, and Xiao Yu seemed not to care about managing Daqin.
"Why? My husband, why don't you want to be king?"
Xiao Yu touched the face of Queen Mother Huayang and said,
"Madam, being a king only allows you to enjoy wealth and glory for a few short decades."
"In the Jianghu."
"Those in the Heavenly Man Realm can live for one or two hundred years. If they can break through their cultivation realm, they may even live for three or four hundred years."
"You've also seen Yao Yue and Bai Jing. They're even older than you. Before they took the Rejuvenating Pill, they also had youthful and beautiful faces."
"I want to cultivate to become stronger, and I also want to find a way to make you live for hundreds of years. Only in this way can we be together for a long time in the future."
Queen Mother Huayang nodded to Xiao Yu.
She understood what Xiao Yu meant.
Yao Yue and Bai Jing are examples.
They are all powerful beings in the Heaven Realm, and they can live for one or two hundred years.
Xiao Yu wants to practice to become stronger.
The little bastard also has to find a way to make them live for hundreds of years.
