Chapter 111 This is how you eat the emperor’s salary and share the emperor’s responsibility!
After a few days!
Xianyang!
The news reported by Ying Ziye reached the copywriting of the Dragon Table of Emperor Qin Shihuang.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng looked at the above information and looked cold.
The letter stated that there is no conclusive evidence to point directly to the Guanzhong clan. In addition, it was found that someone else colluded with the Guanzhong clan and was under investigation.
Looking at the above information, the First Emperor looked angry and his heart was filled with anger.
"This happened in Yingchuan, which is so close to Xianyang. Wouldn't it be even more ridiculous if it was a little further away!"
"Come!"
Zhang Han walked up quickly and bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
"I am circulating my will and chasing Meng Tian, and I must protect Ye'er's safety!"
"Also, the guards commander mobilize the imperial guards to the court! I must kill them with great power!"
"promise!"
It's time!
Xianyang Palace, morning court.
The civil and military officials and ministers inexplicably smelled an unusual feeling, and they seemed to be suppressed by invisible forces.
Outside the palace, there were obviously some black armored soldiers holding long swords, and the iron-blooded evil spirit was lingering.
The civil and military officials and ministers stood in silence on the hall, looking at each other one after another.
"Your Majesty is here!"
The roar of proclamation started.
The First Emperor carried the Emperor's sword on his waist and climbed to the high platform with a tiger step, and he was powerful without anger!
"This is what you eat your king's salary and share your responsibilities. This is what the pillar of the country is!"
Bang!
Emperor Ying Zheng smashed a bamboo slip on He Yousheng, a senior official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The bamboo slips came with a huge impact force, which instantly made him unstable and fell to the ground.
But when he saw clearly that he had been corrupt and abused the law, he was shocked and kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, you can spare your life, I know my mistake!"
"snort!"
The First Emperor snorted coldly, with an angry look on his face, and laughed sarcastically: "Forgive your life, how can you be worthy of the people of the world who were bullied to death by you!"
Thumb!
Emperor First Emperor walked to the court like the wind!
The Emperor's Sword in his hand snatched the sheath out!
With a swing of the long sword, the cold light broke through the air, and the sharp sword blade instantly cut off He Yousheng's head.
"Come!"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng glared at the ministers in the court and ordered: "Take all the doctors in the Si Cang and the senior scholars in the Si Agricultural... and behead them all for me to behead them outside the hall!"
"Here!"
"Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
The official whose name was pronounced hurriedly bowed his head and knelt down and begged.
But Emperor Ying Zheng turned a deaf ear to him.
A team of black soldiers from Daqin outside the hall rushed over and directly took down the ministers including the doctors of Si Cang, the sergeant Si Nong and other ministers.
The ministers and officials who were glorious in the past were crying and kept crying.
All the officials were nervous!
The black armored soldiers of the Qin Dynasty dragged a group of ministers out of the hall like pulling a pig.
Puff, puff!
The sword fell down!
The sound of crying and shouting at the sky and the earth suddenly dissipated, and only the smell of blood came to his nose, which immediately made the civil and military officials in the hall tremble and pale.
The First Emperor looked around the civil and military officials of the court!
With the eyes, all officials dare not look at each other!
"Li Si, you will arrange for the next group of officials to take office in Yingchuan!"
"Here!"
Li Si bowed and bowed.
The court meeting dispersed, and all civil and military officials left without hesitation.
at night!
The night is dark, and only the bright moon is in the sky.
The Guanzhong clan is in the Li family’s mansion.
Li Xu, the head of the Li family, looked heavy and sighed deeply.
It was the county magistrate of Yingchuan County whom he promoted, but was now found guilty by the Eighth Prince and directly killed.
After learning about this from the court, Li Xu couldn't stop worrying and sighed secretly: "It's not scary to die a county magistrate, what's scary is that it delayed the big event of that person!"
In the room, the lights swayed.
A black shadow suddenly arrived, wearing armor, extremely powerful, and a fierce aura came to his face.
Li Xu instantly sensed great terror, his heart beat violently, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "Li Xu greets the general!"
"The Marquis is already aware of what happened in Yingchuan County, but the matter of minting money and wealth must not be stopped, and the matter of military and horse must not be stopped!"
The evil general shouted coldly and ordered: "Otherwise, you will be useless!"
Li Xu bowed and did not dare to refute at all. He said respectfully: "Of course, it won't disappoint the Marquis!"
"Um!"
The fierce general nodded with satisfaction and said, "As for the Eighth Prince, the Marquis will deal with it."
After saying that, he turned around and left, disappearing into the hazy night.
"well……"
Li Xu let out a long breath, raised his hand and wiped his forehead with his sleeve, soaked in cold sweat.
The rising sun rises and the sky is bright.
Yingchuan County City!
Ying Ziye was sitting in the county and government office, handling matters in Yingchuan.
The remaining officials walked around the streets, went to Liting Township, collected information from the people, and then came to the government office to sort out the matters such as leaving the house.
But when Ying Ziye saw the high price of official salt, his face showed a shock.
"Since it's so high, a bucket of salt costs 600 cents!"
Although it is only a 600-cent gap, under normal circumstances, an adult man will only be 900-cent in a month.
This shows how huge the gap is.
In this way, the supply is in short supply and the shipment volume is too small, so the Guanzhong clan took the opportunity to mine and refine salt ores on their own and sell them.
As a result, it occupied the salt market of the Great Qin Empire on a large scale.
"The price of official salt is too high, and the supply is too small!"
Ying Ziye frowned, salt is a necessity for human consumption.
Not eating salt will cause swelling, obvious fatigue, poor appetite, mental and slow reactions!
What's more, most of this matter is controlled by the clan.
Once the empire breaks with the clan, the empire will be subject to restraint everywhere!
But if this matter can be solved, it will undoubtedly be a clan arm!
The official on the side said, "It is not that the official salt refuses to lower the price, but that the cost is too high!"
"It is too difficult to refine well salt. Only ten stones of seawater can extract a bucket of fine salt, and only ten stones of green salt ore can produce three stones of coarse salt."
"Only twenty stones of red salt can you extract five stones of green salt."
"And coarse salt contains toxins, which are usually only used for feeding livestock, but ordinary people cannot afford well salt and have to eat this one."
"As for red salt, it must not be eaten, and it will die if eaten!"
Listen to the officials' explanations and the harm of red salt.
Ying Ziye pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I ordered people to prepare a large amount of green salt and salt mines, and arrange for the craftsmen to refine the salt to come!"
"Here!"
Chapter completed!
