Chapter 99: Disagree and Immediately Behead
Ying Ying Zi Ye seemed to have seen through the thoughts of this group of ministers.
His expression turned serious, and he reined in his smile.
"You wouldn't have treated my words as wind passing by your ears, would you?"
Feng Quji glanced at Chunyu Yue, snorted coldly, and also returned to his residence to see his family.
Not a single minister dared to speak.
Because they indeed had not executed this plan.
"Ninth Prince, levying taxes and collecting fertile land from the nobles and gentry is a major event that shakes the foundation of the state; it needs to be considered in the long term!"
Chunyu Yue, seeing no one dared to speak, stood out to voice his opinion.
After all, taking a knife to the nobles was indirectly taking a knife to their Rujia Sect.
Who told them that most of the Rujia Sect disciples were nobles?
In the Rujia Sect, there were not many students from the Han Sect; they were all nobles and gentry.
"Oh, listening to the Doctor's words, how should this be handled well?"
"This minister believes this method is inappropriate; the nobles and gentry are the cornerstone of Great Qin and cannot be touched!"
"Once they are touched, Great Qin... the state will be in chaos!"
"This minister seconds...!"
"This minister seconds...!"
"This minister seconds...!"
The ministers all spoke out one after another, not agreeing to levy taxes and collect fertile land from the nobles.
If this were really done, then their interests would be greatly implicated.
Ying Ying Zi Ye saw this scene and gave a silent, cold laugh.
Except for some military generals present, the vast majority of ministers opposed his tax reform plan.
He also knew what this was about; it was nothing more than nobles and officials colluding together in a tangled web.
"You all second a fart!"
"Don't second at every turn!"
"What this Prince needs is not your seconding, but execution!"
Ying Ying Zi Ye's voice was cold; the ministers were all somewhat unconvinced. Could this reform be done just by moving one's lips?
How many things were involved in it?
Looking at the silent ministers, Ying Ying Zi Ye continued to speak.
"Doctor, I think you have misunderstood one thing." ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
