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

Chapter 48 Chunyu Yue is afraid of Fusu! Meng Yi cut off Chunyu Yue's financial path!

The housekeeper entered the study and looked at Chun Yuyue with an angry face.

He knew in his heart that Fusu must have done something in the court today to make Chunyu Yue unhappy.

"Humph!"

"Today in the court, Meng Yi did not come to the morning court."

"Many ministers felt that Meng Yi had not fulfilled His Majesty's instructions, and several ministers took this opportunity to attack Fusu."

"It is suggested to His Majesty that the taxes levied on the squires should be cancelled. Fusu heard the words of these ministers and asked His Majesty."

"If Meng Yi cannot fulfill His Majesty's instructions, Fusu is willing to leave the court and go to the border to guard the border with Meng Tian."

"If Meng Yi fulfills the will of His Majesty, these ministers who came out to oppose will be removed from their official positions and will have to turn over all their family's money to the national treasury."

"His Majesty also agreed to Fusu's request."

Chunyu Yue looked at the housekeeper and told what happened in the morning.

The housekeeper was stunned when he heard Chunyu Yue's words. Fusu actually made such a request to His Majesty.

Staying away from the court and going to the border means missing the throne of Qin.

"Fusu is too impulsive. How can those squires pay taxes so easily?"

"Meng Yi didn't go to court early, so he must have encountered trouble in collecting taxes."

"Fusu is asking for death by asking His Majesty like this."

"No wonder the master is angry, Fusu is too impulsive."

The butler said with a hint of anger on his face.

He and Chunyu Yue did not want Fusu to become outstanding, so that Chunyu Yue could better control Fusu.

If Fusu leaves the court and goes to the border, Chunyu Yue, the teacher, will be completely dead in name only.

A few days ago, the housekeeper felt that someone was helping Fusu behind his back. Today in the courtroom, Fusu could say these words so impulsively.

It seemed to the housekeeper that he and Chunyu were thinking too much, and there was no one around Fusu except Meng Yi to help him.

The changes in Fusu these days are also because of Meng Yi.

When Chunyu Yue heard the housekeeper's words, there was a hint of coldness on his face.

"Do you think Fusu is too reckless and impulsive? That's why you ask His Majesty like this?"

"Did the villain just say something wrong?"

When the housekeeper heard Chun Yuyue's words, there was a trace of confusion on his face.

He felt that he was right. Meng Yi didn't come to the morning court, so he must have encountered difficulties in collecting taxes from the gentry.

"hehe!"

"When I heard Fusu's words, I and other ministers felt that Fusu was too impulsive and reckless."

"Not long after Fusu finished speaking, Meng Yi arrived at Qilin Hall."

"Meng Yi came to court early and late not because he encountered difficulties. On the contrary, he got too much gold, silver and jewelry from the squire."

"Meng Yi and the ministers in charge of the treasury spent a whole night checking to find out the specific amount of the money."

"From these squires, Meng Yi collected more than 700 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry."

"Meng Yi has fulfilled the decree given by His Majesty very well."

"The reason why Fusu dared to make such a request to His Majesty was not recklessness but self-confidence."

"It is also to exclude ministers who oppose him from the court."

"Today in the court, Fusu won a great victory."

Chunyu Yue looked very ugly as he watched his butler tell Fusu about his victory.

"Pfft!"

"Impossible, impossible!"

After hearing Chun Yuyue's words, the housekeeper took a few steps back, lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The butler sitting on the ground stared wide-eyed and murmured the word "impossible".

"Those squires are all people with backgrounds. Even if Meng Yi had His Majesty's will, he would not collect so much gold, silver and jewels. There must be something wrong with this."

The butler reacted and looked at Chun Yuyue with red eyes, a hint of hoarseness in his voice.

In his opinion, Fusu would definitely lose, and he could not accept this result. "The reason is very simple. Meng Yi sends troops to the houses of these squires."

"Few of these squires are clean and do not obey His Majesty's will."

"These soldiers under Meng Yi will ransack their homes and take their property back to Xianyang City. They can still survive by paying taxes obediently."

"Meng Yi obtained these more than 700 boxes of gold and silver jewelry using this method."

"Meng Yi, from a family of military generals, has His Majesty's will and is a supporter of Fusu."

"Meng Yi used ruthless means this time."

When Chunyu Yue mentioned Meng Yi, he felt a little afraid in his heart.

He didn't expect that Meng Yi would be so cruel to these squires, and would ransack their homes if they disagreed with them.

Those squires just bullied the people on a daily basis, and they could only obey obediently when they encountered Meng Yi and his soldiers.

The steward's face turned pale when he heard Chun Yuyue's words. He now understood why Meng Yi levied so many taxes.

"I forgot to mention just now that these more than 700 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry are only part of the taxes paid by the squire."

"The soldiers sent out by Meng Yi, those who have traveled a long way have not yet returned to Xianyang City."

"When these soldiers return to Xianyang City, the treasury will have hundreds more boxes of gold, silver and jewelry!"

"This time Fusu's proposal to His Majesty has solved the problem of empty treasury."

"His Majesty praised Fusu greatly, and those ministers who opposed Fusu were also removed from their official positions."

"The family's money has also been turned over to the national treasury."

Chunyu Yue said with a wry smile on his face.

He could never forget what happened in the court today. Fusu in the court today gave Chunyu Yue a hint of fear.

The housekeeper was dumbfounded when he heard Chun Yuyue's words. Meng Yi brought more than 700 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry which already shocked him.

Unexpectedly, this was only part of it, there were hundreds of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry that had not returned to Xianyang City.

The housekeeper is very smart, and it was Fusu who made this suggestion.

Fusu's status in the eyes of the First Emperor had become different.

"I'm worried about the squires who are related to me right now."

"Meng Yi and his soldiers will definitely go to the houses of these squires."

"If these squires don't pay taxes in accordance with His Majesty's decree, Meng Yi will probably have their homes ransacked."

Chunyu Yue said with a trace of worry on his face.

Meng Yi told the court today his methods of collecting taxes, and Chunyu Yue was worried.

Several squires related to him sent him a lot of money every year.

If these squires were confiscated by Meng Yi, he would lose the source of this money.

"Don't worry, sir, those squires are all smart people."

“I have made a lot of money over the years, and there won’t be much of a problem even if I hand over the money.”

"Besides, sir, you are still Fusu's teacher. These squires will show their identities."

"Meng Yi sees that you are Teacher Fusu, so he won't be too difficult."

The housekeeper comforted Chun Yuyue, but he also felt a little uneasy in his heart.

If the former housekeeper Fusu was confident, he knew Fusu's current attitude towards Chun Yuyue very well.

Even if Meng Yi didn't show mercy to these squires for Chun Yuyue's sake, Fusu would most likely not complain about Meng Yi.

Chunyu Yue was not relieved when he heard what the housekeeper said.

He also understood what Fusu's attitude was towards him now, and now he could only hope that the few squires related to him would be smarter and pay their taxes obediently.

As long as the taxes are paid, Meng Yi will not ransack homes at will.

"Report!"

"The master is not good!"

"The spies came to report that Liu Feng's house in Lanfeng County was ransacked by General Mengyi and his soldiers."

"Liu Feng and the servants in his house were all executed by Meng Yi!"
