Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 23: Fusu’s solution to the emptiness of the treasury was opposed by the ministers!
Fusu ignored Hu Hai and looked at the First Emperor:
"Report to the Emperor!"

"Yesterday, I got more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry from this bully squire's house in Yufeng County."

"There are still many fertile fields, and a country squire can get so much gold, silver and jewelry."

"There are many country gentry and nobles in Da Qin, and these country gentry and nobles own a large amount of fertile land."

"The taxes paid every year are the same as ordinary people. This system is no longer in line with the current Da Qin."

"My father can send soldiers to the homes of these squires and nobles, and let these squires and nobles take over a lot of fertile land until today."

"All the taxes on fertile land that should be paid will be paid. All we need to do is collect these taxes."

"It is not a problem to collect hundreds of boxes or even more gold, silver and jewelry, so that the problem of empty national treasury can be solved."

"From now on, these squires and nobles will continue to pay taxes according to their tax every year, and the Great Qin treasury will no longer be empty."

After Fusu finished speaking, the entire hall suddenly became quiet. The ministers were stunned when they heard Fusu's words.

They were still thinking about what kind of suggestions Fusu would give, but they didn't expect that Fusu would put his thoughts on these squires and nobles.

These squires and nobles can solve the emptiness of the national treasury by making up for the taxes on the fertile land they previously owned.

But they would not agree to asking these squires and nobles to make up for so many taxes.

What's more, these squires and nobles have so much land and have inexplicable relationships with many ministers in the court.

If the ministers of the DPRK were not their backing, these squires and nobles would not have so much fertile land.

"Your Majesty, Master Fusu's suggestion seems to me to be ridiculous!"

"The squires and nobles are the foundation of Great Qin. If Master Fusu's proposal is implemented, these squires and nobles may do things that are detrimental to Great Qin."

Chunyu Yue stood up, looked at the First Emperor with a pale face and said.

Just now, his expression changed drastically when he heard Fusu's words. There were several squires and nobles in Da Qin who had inexplicable relations with him.

These squires and nobles contribute a lot of money to him every year. If His Majesty follows Fusu's instructions, he will send soldiers to the homes of these squires and nobles.

From now on, it will be difficult for him to get these squires and nobles to contribute their own money.

When it comes to Chun Yuyue's interests, he will not agree.

"What Master Pushe said is reasonable. The squires and nobles have contributed to the Qin Dynasty. If we follow Mr. Fusu's words, it will chill the hearts of these squires and nobles."

"The Qin Dynasty has just been unified and the world has just stabilized. If we send soldiers to the homes of these squires and nobles, there will definitely be a lot of trouble."

When some ministers saw Chunyu Yue coming out to object, they quickly stood up and echoed.

These ministers are all related to some squires and nobles. Fusu is cutting off their wealth by asking these squires and nobles to make up for the taxes on the fertile land in the past.

"I think Lord Pushe is right!"

"."

Some more ministers came out to oppose Fusu's suggestion.

In the entire hall, only a small number of ministers knelt in their seats and did not object to Fusu's suggestion.

Meng Yi also reacted at this time and looked at the ministers standing around.

There was a trace of anger and helplessness in his heart, and he felt that Master Fusu's suggestion was very good.

However, it was very difficult to implement. Meng Yi knew very well that these ministers who stood up against Fusu were related to some squires and nobles.

They stood up to oppose not because they were worried about Da Qin, but because they were worried about their own interests being damaged.

Li Si looked at Fusu with a hint of admiration. This was the first time that he felt that Fusu was an excellent prince.

Li Si turned around and looked at the ministers standing around, with a hint of disdain in his heart.

These people were just worried about damaging their own interests. Li Si usually looked down upon these ministers the most.

Hu Hai also reacted at this time and was very happy to see so many ministers opposing Fusu.

In Hu Hai's view, Fusu's methods offended many ministers in the court. Many ministers were neutral in the past and did not support Fusu or him. This time Fusu offended these ministers, presumably these ministers would turn around and support him.

With so many ministers supporting him, Hu Hai felt more confident.

He was still wondering if Fusu would really come up with a good idea, but it turned out that this method had no benefit to Fusu, but it was good to him.

Zhao Gao, standing next to the First Emperor, was very happy at this time.

He had wooed many of the ministers who came forward in private, and some refused his wooing and chose to remain neutral.

This time Fusu's suggestion offended these ministers who stood up, and if he tried to win over him again, he would definitely make these ministers support Hu Hai.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard Fusu's words. He thought Fusu's method was very good.

Just when Ying Zheng was about to praise Fusu, he saw many ministers standing up to object.

Ying Zheng was unhappy when he saw this scene, and he knew it very well.

These ministers have an unclear relationship with some squires. Fusu's suggestions are not only aimed at these squires but also at these ministers in the court.

With so many ministers coming out to oppose, it was difficult for Ying Zheng to agree to Fusu's suggestion.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and was suddenly stunned. Fusu's face was very calm at this time.

So many ministers stood up to oppose him, but Fusu was not affected.

Looking at the indifferent Fusu, Ying Zheng suddenly felt that Fusu still had something to say.

"Fusu, the ministers are against your suggestion, what else do you have to say?"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu with a calm expression and said.

When the ministers who stood up to oppose heard what the First Emperor said, they looked at Fusu with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Many of them did not support Fusu or Hu Hai before, but now Fusu is targeting these squires.

That is to say, for these ministers, the ministers who were neutral in the past now have the idea of ​​​​favoring Hu Hai.

"Father, in my opinion, what the ministers said has no meaning."

"My son is just a bully squire who ransacked his house, but the reflection is indeed countless squires."

"These squires all have ill-gotten wealth. My proposal this time also gives them a chance to change their ways."

"As for the ministers saying that these squires and nobles will do things that are detrimental to the Qin Dynasty because of the tax payment."

"I want to know, even if they have such thoughts, where do the soldiers come from?"

"My father only needs to write down my son's proposal as a notice and post it in every city in the Qin Dynasty."

"The people who see it will be very happy and have a better sense of belonging to Daqin."

"Even if these squires and nobles want to recruit soldiers to be detrimental to the Qin Dynasty, the people of the Qin Dynasty will not participate."

"As long as the people of Da Qin are satisfied with Da Qin, what do these country gentry and nobles mean?"

"The Qin Dynasty has millions of soldiers to unite the six kingdoms. How can it be afraid of these country gentry and nobles?"

Fusu turned to look at the minister behind him who had just spoken out against his suggestion, with a cold look on his face.

After Fusu finished speaking, the entire hall became quiet.

The ministers were stunned when they heard Fusu's words. Fusu, who used to be gentle in the past, actually spoke so domineeringly today.

The ministers who had just opposed Fusu didn't know how to refute what Fusu said.

There was a trace of cold sweat on the backs of some ministers' necks, and they actually felt a hint of His Majesty's presence on Fusu.

Just now Fusu said such domineering words, His Majesty also said similar domineering words when he was conquering the Six Kingdoms.
