A few days later, on the road leading from the northern part of Great Qin to Xianyang, countless scouts were roaming on both sides of the road, checking for possible dangers, for behind them was the convoy of the First Emperor of Great Qin.
They had set out in the spring and spent almost half a year on the grasslands before finally returning within the Great Wall once again.
Although the Great Wall had lost its primary function of fighting the Huns, and was now primarily a function of rest for the herdsmen and a portion of storage.
There were also many Confucian scholars who simply set up the hiding holes and so on inside the Great Wall as simple schools, the
They couldn’t say anything because the leader was the imperial son Fusu.
But in any case, they always feel more at ease when they are back inside the Great Wall.
When they get used to the feeling of being part of the Chinese family, they won’t have so many scruples.
At this moment, Zhao Gao was talking to Qin Shi Huang about the news he got after entering the Great Wall.
It was not that convenient for them to receive information on the grassland, except for urgent information.
“Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has given the farmer’s family, Tian Lao, a divine title. ”
Qin Shi Huang nodded as he listened and said faintly, the
“That old man has worked hard all his life, it is still worthwhile to seal a divine position. ”
“Furthermore after these people have gone to heaven, then they are also serving me. ”
“The group of Taoists have already prepared the name of the Heavenly Emperor for me.”
Although he wasn’t very familiar with the other party, he was extremely favourable to anyone who gave their time for Great Qin.
He had also almost never killed a meritorious official in his life.
When he entered the imperial tomb, when he got to heaven these people were still serving for his empire in heaven as well.
So there’s nothing wrong with that.
Hearing this, Zhao Gao could only smile and
Qin Shi Huang could talk about his own behind, but he didn’t dare to pick up on it.
If he said something wrong, it would be a real joke on his life.
He knew exactly what he could and could not say.
So he changed the subject and said with a smile, so he changed the subject and said with a smile, so he changed the subject and said with a smile.
“Your Majesty has another happy event, the taxes for this year’s spring and summer seasons have come out, and the number is extremely considerable. ”
“Just the tax of Xianyang alone is more than five times more than the previous two years!”
“The other counties are a little less, but they are also one or two times more!”
“This year, the entire Great Qin’s tax revenue is expected to at least triple! ”
Hearing this, Qin Shi Huang did not look too happy, but instead frowned and asked.
“This spring and summer is the time for farming and sowing, who gave the order to dare to collect taxes? ”
It was natural for the government to collect taxes, after all, there were so many things to do and so many officials to feed.
But generally speaking it is not going to collect taxes in, spring and summer planting time.
Otherwise, the people pay the tax, but no money for seeds and farming tools, affecting the autumn harvest, that is going to be a big problem.
Hearing this Zhao Gao quickly said.
“Your Majesty don’t worry, all these taxes have nothing to do with the agricultural harvest. ”
Qin Shi Huang was then relieved, some curiosity are oh, continue to ask, the
“Since this tax is not from the agricultural harvest, it must come from the hands of those merchant people. ”
Zhao Gao this time, exclaimed.
“Your Majesty is wise. ”
“These extra taxes are precisely collected from the merchant people, and the new businesses run by various nobles. ”
Although Qin Shi Huang had already had a guess, he could not help but exclaim.
“It’s actually so much? ”
Before, Zhao Lang had already told him that the commercial tax would greatly increase Great Qin’s income.
But he hadn’t expected it to be so exaggerated.
You have to know how long this has only started?
Waiting for the other counties’, commerce to gradually develop, then it will be an extremely frightening number!
Zhao Gao also nodded at this time and said.
“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is truly a wizard!” !
Hearing Zhao Lang being praised, Emperor Qin Shi Huang couldn’t help but reveal a smile, but still said, Hearing Zhao Lang being praised, Emperor Qin Shi Huang couldn’t help but reveal a smile, but still said that
“There is no harm in using these people to make some money, but the foundation of the country lies in agriculture, commerce and military fitness.”
“Long’er can’t be blinded by all this money.”
He had never had a favourable impression of merchants, and he would definitely talk to Wave-er more about it when he returned.
It wasn’t good for this child to be too good at making money.
Zhao Gao instantly conformed and
“Your Majesty is far-sighted, His Highness the Crown Prince does need you to watch over him more.”
Qin Shi Huang asked Zhao Gao to remember this matter afterwards, then thought of something and continued, saying that
“You go and write a letter to Yin Man and ask her to come and fetch me.”
Hearing this, a hint of complexity flashed across Zhao Gao’s complexion and said.
“Your Majesty is trying to tell the royal daughter um, Yin Man’s true identity now? ”
“Will this be.”
Emperor Qin Shi Huang waved his hand slightly, interrupting Zhao Gao, and said with some emotion that
“This child is also being watched grow up, now, to see her suffer, I am not happy in my heart either.”
“And the matter of Lang’er, indeed I am sorry for her.”
“Now it is also time to give her an explanation.”
Seeing that Qin Shi Huang, his mind was made up, Zhao Gao did not persuade him any further and quickly led the order to leave.
It wasn’t long before a group of messengers headed towards Xianyang.
A few days later.
Inside the Great Qin Xianyang Palace.
Zhao Lang looked at the paperwork in his hands with a smile on his face, while Chen Ping stood at the side.
After reading it, Zhao Lang smiled and said.
“Finally, I can be a little more generous. ”
Before, when Pops was in power, he had never stopped building, and then after the two great wars in the north and south.
Great Qin had been poor for a long time.
The good thing is that after that, there are potatoes to support, so there is no big problem. The good thing is that after that, there are potatoes to support, so there is no big problem.
But the days of Great Qin can only be said to be barely getting by.
More or less a little tight, everyone together tightened their belts to live.
Now after these commercial taxes are initially up, the internal development of Great Qin will be much faster afterwards.
“Brother Chen Ping, the south can be left to you, I want to make sure that after the first five years are completed, Great Qin is not able to have any starving people. ”
Right now, the population of Great Qin was still relatively small, it was just 20 million out.
It is still possible to initially solve the problem of food and clothing.
Chen Ping led the way at this time to
“Don’t worry, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I will definitely do it. ”
Zhao Lang instantly revealed a smile, and after the two of them conferred for a while, Zhao Lang personally sent Chen Ping to the entrance of the palace.
The future situation of Great Qin was great, Zhao Lang’s mood was also extremely comfortable, humming a little tune, he was preparing to go and see his children, these days the two little ones were learning to shout, he couldn’t miss it.
Just at this time but he saw Ying Yin Man leading people, hurriedly coming towards the entrance of the palace, with an appearance of going out.
When the other party arrived in front of him, Zhao Lang couldn’t help but ask.
“Imperial sister, where is this going?”
Ying Yin Man returned and
“Ah Long, Father has sent me a letter, asking me to go and fetch him, he might have something for me.”
Zhao Lang nodded, not knowing what was on his old dad’s mind, he could only say.
“Then Imperial Sister take care of yourself on the road.”
After Ying Yin Man saluted, he directly left with his people.
Zhao Lang looked in the direction of his old man and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
“What did Pops ask Imperial Sister to pick him up for?”
Shaking his head, Zhao Lang no longer thought much about it and walked back.
