Chapter 306

The topic they truly cared about was Ying Su's handling of them, the nobles!

The common people had been exempted from taxes once again!

And, it was a tax exemption for five years!

Adding the three years of tax exemption when Ying Su first ascended the throne!

And the one year of tax exemption after defeating Xiang Yu's four hundred thousand!

Plus the one year of tax exemption after conquering the Hulun grasslands!

Now, the common people had already been exempted from taxes for ten years!

Of course, this was not the main point!

Still the same saying, if the common people are exempted from taxes, let them be; that is the country's business anyway!

But the problem is... the common people are exempted from taxes, and they are the ones suffering!

You, Ying Su, show mercy and exempt the common people from taxes, but the question is, can you not squeeze us nobles!

The previous seventy percent tax was already very exaggerated!

Just by paying taxes in this seventy percent way, if it weren't for their deep family foundations, many nobles would already be unable to pay!

Now, there was another ninety percent tax!

And, it was to be paid for three years?

This... this was too outrageous!

At this very moment, there were truly many, many people who were about to explode with anger!

At that moment, almost everyone was furious.

But... at this moment, no one spoke; no one said a word!

Instead, it was Wang Wan who bowed deeply to Ying Zheng and then left!

Then, it was Wei Pao, and Ying Xi, and Wang Wan, Li Tan, and so on!

Many people!

Many people left without saying a word!

But... Ying Zheng didn't care about all this!

Instead, he called out to Zhuge Liang and Li Si:

"Immediately obey the edict, spread the rebellious son's edict throughout the world, and additionally, spread this victory report to the world!"

"Additionally, convey my edict: tax exemption for five years!"

"From now on, the common people of our Great Qin are exempted from taxes for fifteen years!"

"Fifteen years?"

Once the words were out, Li Si couldn't help but swallow his saliva!

He was just about to say something, but before he could speak, Ying Zheng said angrily: "What? If the rebellious son can grant this tax exemption, then I cannot?"

One sentence choked Li Si!

Finally, he looked at Zhuge Liang, Zuo Zuo Zongtang, and the others, and seeing that none of them objected, he could only bow respectfully to Ying Zheng: "Yes!"

They left.

Xiaoyaozi and his group also followed Li Si!

They were going to receive their rewards!

And according to their military merits, almost everyone could receive a very, very awesome title!

At this very moment, all of them were excited.

However, some were happy and some were sad!

Late at night, inside the Wanhua Building!

Inside a super huge private room!

Wang Wan, Feng Feng Qiji, and Wei Pao, Young Master Jianglu, Young Master Gao, they were all gathered here!

Young Master Gao said angrily: "The rebellious son Ying Su, he is too excessive!"

Young Master Jianglu nodded in agreement: "Old Six is indeed too outrageous; our Great Qin has always followed the Legalist school to govern the country!"

"And what is the Legalist philosophy of governing the country?"

"The five arts of controlling the people are the core essence: exhausting the people, fooling the people, weakening the people, impoverishing the people, and humiliating the people!"

"But now? He has exempted the common people from taxes for ten years, plus the five years exempted by the Father Emperor!"

"Fifteen years!"

"A full fifteen years!"

"That is to say, within these fifteen years, the common people do not need to pay taxes!"

"On the contrary, the nobles are made to pay taxes! Paying a ninety percent tax!"

"And this noble tax actually includes the royal clan!"

"We actually have to pay taxes too!"

"What is this?"

"Reversing the natural order!"

"Reversing the natural order!"

At this very moment, Young Master Jianglu was furious!

He was saying it with extreme anger!

Before, the reason he followed and participated was because enfeoffment could bring him benefits!

But now... he was not happy!

He was truly not happy!

Because, he had to pay taxes in this!

And, it was a ninety percent tax!

How outrageous!

Besides him, there was Young Master Gao, who was also boundlessly angry!

Where in this world is there such a principle?

As a son of the First Emperor of Great Qin, one actually has to pay taxes?

Is it outrageous?

The two of them were extremely resentful.

And compared to their resentment, the nobles at the scene were actually much quieter!

They quietly watched the two young masters finish their anger.

Finally, it was Wang Wan who spoke: "Everyone, let's all talk about it, what should we do?"

"Before, we were all wary of Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao, and although we had already discussed it, we didn't dare to act easily!"

"And now? It has been confirmed that Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao are not dead! What about you?"

"What are your plans?"

"Are we just going to endure this humiliation and bullying?"

"Or should we rise up and resist, gather our strength for one strike, and completely eradicate the rebellious son?"

At this very moment, Wang Wan was asking.

However, once these words were spoken, the Censor-in-Chief Li Tan laughed on the spot: "Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao are not dead?"

"Do you believe this?"

Wang Wan was startled, then shook his head and smiled: "I don't believe it!"

Li Tan asked with a smile: "Why don't you believe it?"

Wang Wan didn't speak, but instead, the old Ying Xi spoke:

"If Li Li Yuanba were alive, how could the task of delivering the victory report fall to Xiaoyaozi? It would definitely be Li Li Yuanba!"

"Only then could it serve as a deterrent!"

"Additionally, his edict mentions staying in the grasslands to recuperate for a month!"

"Hehe... guess why he wants to recuperate for a month?"

"Isn't it just because the army suffered such heavy losses that he doesn't dare to enter Yan Sect Pass easily, and is using this to delay time?"

"Such a small trick, and he wants to deceive us? He really treats us like three-year-old children!"

Ying Xi said!
