Chapter 310

Xianyang City!

Although the current Xianyang City had undercurrents surging!

Almost all nobles already had unusual movements!

Many people were mobilizing private armies, organizing house slaves, and so on!

However... all this could not affect the prosperity of Xianyang City.

And it could not affect the liveliness inside Xianyang City!

Outside the Wanhua Building, there were still beauties in thin silk soliciting customers everywhere!

On the streets, there were still peddlers shouting!

The grain shops opened by major nobles were still crowded!

And in the taverns, on the streets, there were pedestrians everywhere!

They had no sense of crisis at all!

Even, at this very moment, everyone was excited and cheering!

Cheering for what?

"The new Emperor is far better than the First Emperor!"

"The new Emperor is far better than the First Emperor!"

"The new Emperor is far better than the First Emperor!"

At that moment, many people were shouting, many people were calling out!

They were extremely boiling!

And the reason for this boiling was because the notice of the annihilation of the Xiongnu had been posted!

Not only was the notice of the one hundred thousand army annihilating the Xiongnu posted.

But Ying Su's edict of tax exemption for five years had also been issued.

And Ying Zheng's edict of tax exemption for five years had also been issued!

This scene simply made all the common people in Xianyang City boil!

"Fifteen years!"

"A full fifteen years without paying taxes!"

At that moment, they shouted loudly!

Almost everyone was crying with joy!

And countless people shouted that the new Emperor was far better than the First Emperor!

They were excited to the extreme!

But when these slogans were shouted, some people reminded them that this was not just Ying Su's tax exemption for five years, but also Ying Zheng's tax exemption for five years!

The meaning of this reminder was very clear: to tell them not to shout the slogan that the new Emperor is far better than the First Emperor anymore!

Ying Zheng is not a tyrant, not a muddled emperor!

However, once these words were spoken, they were met with abuse from countless common people!

"Ying Zheng is not a tyrant? If he is not a tyrant, why did he squeeze us like that before?"

"If he is not a tyrant, would he make us build the Great Wall and the Epang Palace?"

"Thirty percent!"

"I farm for a year, and in the end, the grain I get is only thirty percent!"

"Half of the taxes have to be paid to the imperial court, and twenty percent of the grain has to be paid to the nobles!"

"You say he is not a tyrant?"

"If the new Emperor hadn't opened the door to tax exemption, could he have exempted taxes?"

At that moment, the common people cursed continuously!

At the same time, the slogan that the new Emperor is far better than the First Emperor was shouted even louder.

The sound was earth-shaking, like thunder!

And when this sound entered Xianyanggong, Zhao Gao was panicked to the extreme!

Without any delay, he quickly had someone close Ying Zheng's door!

Afterward, he glanced toward Ying Zheng's side!

Ying Zheng over there was very busy!

While making tea, drinking tea, and chatting with Li Bai, he was also chatting with Zheng He about sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and so on!

When the conversation became lively, he even... he even did it himself, using a stone mill to grind flour!

Watching the wheat and corn turn into flour, and even making noodles, and steaming buns, he was extremely happy!

Taking a bite of the bun, and then eating a bowl of hot fried sauce noodles!

He was extremely comfortable.

While comfortable, he cried out: "In the future, the people of our Great Qin will all be able to eat fried sauce noodles, all be able to eat buns!"

"They won't go hungry!"

"The people of our Great Qin should not go hungry in the future!"

Ying Zheng laughed loudly!

Boundlessly excited!

When Zhao Gao saw this scene, he almost cried out!

He listened to the sound outside again, and hated it so much that he clenched his fists!

What do these common people know!

What do they know!

How can the First Emperor be a tyrant?

How do they know how much the First Emperor has paid for this country?

However... thinking carefully, it can't be blamed on these common people!

Mainly... under the rule of the First Emperor Ying Zheng, their lives were really not very good!

If it weren't for Ying Su ordering the stop of the construction of the Great Wall and the Epang Palace, and then granting amnesty to the world, they would still be suffering!

"Sigh!"

Zhao Gao sighed; at this very moment, he didn't know what to say.

He could only stand far outside the door, and then cover his ears, trying not to listen to these sounds!

But... just because he doesn't listen, it doesn't mean the nobles in Xianyang City don't listen to this sound!

Although the slogan they shouted was that the new Emperor is far better than the First Emperor!

All this seems to have nothing to do with the nobles!

But... every time they heard this sound, the hearts of countless nobles were extremely uncomfortable!

The new Emperor is far better than the First Emperor?

Why is the new Emperor far better than the First Emperor?

Do you think the First Emperor Ying Zheng didn't want the common people to have a good life?

Hehe!

That's because he didn't have that ability!

After all, the Great Wall had to be built, the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum had to be built, and the Epang Palace had to be built.

And there were millions of Qin troops to feed, and salaries to be paid everywhere, and the Qin straight roads and Qin fast roads to be built, etc.!

All of this, where doesn't it need grain?

Tax exemption!

It sounds good, was it exempted by mouth?

It was exempted by the imperial court's tax revenue!

Even if Ying Zheng died, he wouldn't have such great ability to exempt it!

But Ying Su could exempt it!

Why?

Because he... damn it, he relied on exploiting us nobles to exempt it!

Using the grain of all the nobles in the world to do his, Ying Su's, business!

In the end, Ying Zheng continued to be scolded, all the nobles in the world continued to be scolded, and only he, Ying Su, gained a good reputation!
