Chapter 156

The other ministers were surprised to hear this.

They didn't expect that it had only been a month, and they could continue planting sweet potatoes so quickly?

It seems the previous news about the sweet potato auspicious omen was accurate.

And they had heard about the 100,000 soldiers guarding the sweet potatoes outside Xianyang City.

That place had become a military restricted zone, strictly forbidding unrelated personnel from approaching; otherwise, they would be killed without mercy!

Previously, they had doubts, suspecting this was an excuse for tax reform.

But now it seems that this is indeed true.

This also made the ministers very happy.

This tax reform had a share of their credit.

Although they were now at odds with those nobles.

But for the safety of their families, they all felt that everything was worth it.

And they had all completed the task, and soldiers no longer surrounded their residences.

Many people looked at Chunyu Yue and Lin Zhichong.

Now in Xianyang City, only the residences of these two were still surrounded by soldiers.

This made some of them sneer.

"Ninth Prince, this subordinate wants to impeach Lin Zhichong and the great Confucian Chunyu Yue!"

Xiao Ren stepped out and bowed.

The other ministers were stunned to hear this.

Good fellow, he has guts!

Impeaching Lin Zhichong is understandable, but even Chunyu Yue is being impeached.

Doesn't Xiao Ren know that Chunyu Yue is the teacher of Prince Prince Fu Su?

Just based on this status, who dares to impeach Chunyu Yue?

This also made the ministers squint their eyes.

Believing that there must be something fishy in it.

Otherwise, how would Xiao Ren dare to do this?

This guts are really too big; if it goes wrong, he will be counter-impeached.

And the expressions of Chunyu Yue and Lin Zhichong were not good.

A small doctor dares to impeach them; who gave him this guts?

Xiao Ren pretended not to see the surprised looks of those ministers.

He belonged to the meritorious personnel who took the lead in reform, and behind him stood a group of small officials supporting him.

Impeaching one or two people is also appropriate, and he was ordered to impeach, so what is there to be afraid of.

"Oh, what do you want to impeach them for? Say it and let me hear."

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at Xiao Ren with interest.

This guy is not bad, he even knows how to take the lead in collecting taxes.

Originally, he wanted to instruct others to take the lead.

But he hadn't acted yet, and this Xiao Ren took the lead.

It seems this guy is also a shrewd person.

"This subordinate wants to impeach them for sitting in their positions and doing nothing at all."

"All the civil and military officials have completed the task of tax collection, but these two are acting in defiance."

"Please Ninth Prince, judge clearly!"

Xiao Ren was righteous, not afraid of Lin Zhichong's murderous look at all.

"You two tell me what is going on."

"Why haven't your taxes been collected yet?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at Chunyu Yue and the other, a faint sneer hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Zhichong's scalp went numb; he stepped out, bowed, and said:

"Ninth Prince, this subordinate has realized that my direction was wrong, being too benevolent to them, so I haven't been able to collect taxes; this subordinate started violent tax collection last night."

"But because it was too late, I haven't collected much; I originally thought about continuing violent tax collection after the morning meeting today."

Lin Zhichong, after returning from Chunyu Yue's place last night, thought of a remedial method, which was to quickly integrate into the main force and collect taxes together.

At that time, if Ying Ying Zi Ye had an accident, it would be fine; no one would care about these small matters of his.

But those who assassinated him all failed, so he only had to immediately start violent tax collection to survive.

The one-month deadline was getting closer and closer, and he was really afraid of being executed.

He was not like Chunyu Yue, who was the Prince's teacher; Chunyu Yue might be fine, but he would definitely have trouble if he didn't complete the task!

"Then what about you, Doctor?"

"What is your situation?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at Chunyu Yue.

He saw that he was as steady as an old dog, without any panic.

It seems he was not wrong, and not collecting taxes had nothing to do with him.

Does he really think that because he is Prince Fu Su's teacher, no one dares to touch him?

Chunyu Yue stepped out slowly and bowed pretentiously.

"Ninth Prince, this old man has always disapproved of tax reform."

"Violent tax collection has too much killing; it cannot be done!" ===== CHAPTER 158 =====
