Chapter 17

Prince Fusu's teacher!

Just like that, killed by Ying Su?

He really didn't show the slightest bit of mercy!

Everyone was terrified!

And just as everyone was terrified, Ying Su spoke: "The reason I killed him has nothing to do with Prince Fusu; the main reason is that he recklessly discussed the enfeoffment system. In the fifth year of the First Emperor, he had already proposed the enfeoffment system!"

"Later, he brought up enfeoffment again and again!"

"My father didn't kill him, that is my father's business, but starting from me, whoever dares to discuss enfeoffment again, Chunyu Yue will be the fate of you all!"

"Alright, today's morning court ends here. Those who just reported matters stay behind; the others, you may leave!"

After Ying Su finished speaking, his eyes swept across the officials!

And the officials he swept over, at that moment, were all shocked and terrified!

Yes!

So, the reason for killing Chunyu Yue was actually because of the enfeoffment system?

But was Chunyu Yue the only one supporting the enfeoffment system?

In the imperial court, there were many, many people who supported the enfeoffment system; they were just using Chunyu Yue's mouth to express their inner thoughts.

Likewise, it was also because of the enfeoffment system that the Eldest Imperial Prince Prince Fusu gained the support of so many people!

And now, Ying Su actually killed Chunyu Yue because of the enfeoffment system?

Everyone was terrified, and some even clenched their fists slightly!

But at this moment, no one said anything; everyone left!

In the imperial court, only those officials who had just reported matters remained!

And Feng Feng Qiji was among them.

At this very moment, he looked at Ying Su in terror, not even daring to breathe loudly!

And Ying Su looked directly at the crowd and said:

"Flooding in Dang Commandery! Disaster relief is needed!"

"The Xiongnu King has sent envoys to our Qin State, wanting to discuss trade with our Qin State!"

"Distribution of provisions for the Great Wall!"

"Is that all?"

Feng Feng Qiji bowed tremblingly: "These are the major matters that require the Emperor's handling!"

"Among them, the distribution of provisions for the Great Wall is expected to require 300,000 shi of grain, as well as 8 million coins!"

"Disaster relief grain distribution requires 200,000 shi of grain! Money is not needed for the time being!"

Ying Su nodded and looked at the Minister of Agriculture: "Minister of Agriculture Yang Chun, how much money and grain are currently in the national treasury, and how much can be used?"

Yang Chun bowed: "Currently, our Great Qin national treasury has a total of 30 million coins and 1 million shi of grain. After deducting palace expenses and the salaries of officials at all levels of the imperial court, the usable money is 10 million coins, and the grain is 500,000 shi!"

Ying Su frowned: "In other words, I have to use these 10 million coins and 500,000 shi of grain to distribute the Great Wall provisions and the disaster relief grain respectively? After these two matters are handled, my national treasury will basically be empty?"

Yang Chun bowed: "Your Majesty just granted a general amnesty, and the salaries received by officials at all levels of the imperial court have increased. If the general amnesty is cancelled, 100,000 shi of grain and 2 million coins can be saved!"

"In addition, the First Emperor's eastern tour has been cancelled, and the related carriage and travel expenses have not yet been recovered. If recovered, 1 million coins and 100,000 shi of grain can be recovered!"

He reported, while looking at Ying Su with eager eyes!

To be honest, he really didn't want any general amnesty.

A general amnesty, the common people were happy, but... what about the money?

Where would the money come from?

The tax revenue of the Great Qin national treasury all depended on the common people paying taxes!

And once taxes were exempted, it meant that the national treasury would have no income other than salt and copper for three years.

And it was for three years!

Relying only on salt and copper, could the Great Qin's operations be maintained for three years?

As the Minister of Agriculture, in charge of the country's money and grain operations, no one knew this better than him, so he really wanted to remind Ying Su.

But... he didn't dare!

The new emperor had ascended the throne and had already ordered a general amnesty; how could he dare to speak nonsense?

Therefore, although he was very anxious inside, he didn't dare to say a single word!

Chunyu Yue's death was right before his eyes; before understanding the character of this new emperor, who would dare to speak nonsense?

Ying Su looked at him for a while and nodded:

"The Xiongnu King sent envoys to trade with our Great Qin; tell him to get lost. I do not approve of this matter!"

"Distribute the Great Wall provisions in full!"

"Distribute the disaster relief grain in full!"

"Wait, you said Dang Commandery is the land of the former Wei State?"

Ying Su suddenly thought of something and looked at Feng Feng Qiji.

Feng Feng Qiji was shocked and nodded to Ying Su: "It is indeed the land of the former Wei State!"

Ying Su said: "Change the disaster relief grain sent to Dang Commandery to 300,000 shi, of which 100,000 shi should be sand, mixed into it!"

PS: Seeking flowers and evaluation tickets!!!

017. Don't let future generations learn foreign languages!

"What?"

"Mixing sand into disaster relief grain?"

Once Ying Su said this, instantly, Feng Feng Qiji, Yang Chun, Ling Lu, and everyone else were stunned!

You must know, that is disaster relief grain!

The people there couldn't even eat, and they were looking forward to the disaster relief grain all day long.

As a result, you are mixing sand into the disaster relief grain?

This... isn't this wicked?

Feng Feng Qiji was shocked to the extreme; at this moment, he really wanted to ask Ying Su why.

But... he didn't dare to ask!

Ying Su rebelled last night and allegedly killed 50,000 people.

Even the First Emperor was forced by him to abdicate!

Today, just after the morning court, he slaughtered Chunyu Yue again.

Now, he felt afraid just seeing Ying Su; how could he dare to ask nonsense!

Even when Ying Su asked him if there were any problems, he replied that there were none.

"Alright, then you may withdraw!"

Ying Su said, and they left as if fleeing.

And watching their retreating backs, Ying Su chuckled; he knew exactly what these people were thinking.

However, he didn't want to talk useless nonsense; at this moment, he had more important things to do!

"Yu Yu Huatian?"

Ying Su shouted!

Instantly, the man who looked extremely effeminate bowed to him: "Greetings, Emperor Your Majesty!"

Ying Su said:

"Last night, all the soldiers in the imperial palace died, but the imperial palace is a vital place and cannot be without soldiers. I order you to recruit people and form a new garrison within a month!"

"Understood!"

Yu Yu Huatian bowed and turned to leave.

And as for where he would recruit soldiers, how he would recruit them, and where the money and grain for recruiting soldiers would come from, Ying Su didn't even ask.

How could he not trust Yu Yu Huatian's ability?

He had his own methods, and he would definitely be able to cultivate a group of extremely loyal troops to serve him!

After dealing with Yu Yu Huatian, he came to Zheng He's side and asked Zheng He: "Do you know sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn?"

Zheng He bowed: "I do!"

Ying Su said to him: "In these few days, travel around our Qin State. Any crops that the Great Qin currently does not have, go overseas to find them, and bring back all the good things!"
