Chapter 213 Ying Zheng: Qin Feng, you have finally exposed your identity as a bandit
Ying Zheng was shocked!
He runs the Great Qin Empire by himself and earns four billion yuan a year through hard work.
Qin Feng earned 200 million by selling a broken bicycle?
A sense of humiliation slowly surged into Ying Zheng's heart.
He slammed the table angrily and cursed:
"Everyone is crying to me about poverty! They are all talking about the suffering of the people!
Is this what suffering looks like? They are obviously richer than me!"
Seeing that Ying Zheng had a tendency to go berserk, Qin Feng quickly explained:
"Your Majesty, in fact, the people in the world are really suffering, and only a small group of people are rich.
Especially the indulgence of the kings of the six eastern countries, and the various vested interests who used their privileges to plunder the wealth of the people, created many wealthy businessmen and nobles."
Ying Zheng looked ugly and said:
"Are there no custom-made bicycles in Guanzhong?"
Qin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head:
“Not to mention bicycles, even high-end luxury goods have almost no orders placed.
The order statistics for this month show that the goods revenue is 400 million yuan, but Guanzhong only has more than 20 million yuan, and they are all low-end products.
Even the officials, princes and nobles in Guanzhong rarely buy luxury goods."
Ying Zheng looked better, frowned slightly and said:
"Hmph! If there are so many wealthy businessmen in Guanzhong showing off their wealth, then it would be my dereliction of duty."
Qin Feng thought for a moment, stood up from his knees, straightened his sleeves, bowed and said seriously:
"Your Majesty, this just shows that our foundation is unstable!
The remaining heroes of the sixth generation of the Great Qin Dynasty were able to unify the world.
But those who grit their teeth behind the scenes and insist on giving are the eight million Guanzhong children!
Now that the world is unified, we should not ignore their contributions, nor should we take them for granted."
People are like this. If you pay silently for a long time, others will take it for granted.
Once one day you want some fairness, you will be criticized instead.
Therefore, Qin Feng has always believed that people who give silently are very respectable, but they cannot be learned from.
When you give, you must let others know. Otherwise, don’t expect others to be moved and thank you.
They will only think that you should be like this!
Ying Zheng's falcon-like eyes looked at Qin Feng quietly.
Qin Feng was unafraid, and the two just stared at each other.
After a long time, Ying Zheng suddenly sneered:
"Okay, now that I have grown up and my wings have hardened, I have taught you a lesson!"
If it were before, Qin Feng would definitely give in.
But today, he didn't want to!
Qin Feng bowed deeply and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, during the past three months, I have read the documents of Tingwei Mansion every day.
You may not know that there are more than 500,000 prisoners in Guanzhong alone, as well as more than 500,000 disabled people being sentenced.
Maybe they spit on the ground? Or maybe they were so angry that they couldn't help but fight with others?
Or, friends were playing around and being falsely accused of infighting!
Let’s not talk about the harshness of Qin’s laws. Is such a terrifying ratio reasonable?
It is clear that the children of Guanzhong fought for the Great Qin and sacrificed the blood of six generations before they unified the world.
But they do not enjoy the unified benefits, and the land tax is still one out of twelve!"
Ying Zheng's face became increasingly grim. No one had ever dared to say these words to Qin Feng.
For the great Eternal Emperor, this is simply a slap in the face!
He said coldly:
"what do you want to say?
Is the Qin law unfair? Am I a lone husband? A tyrant?"
Qin Feng bowed his head to the end and said loudly:
"Wei Chen doesn't dare! Wei Chen just thinks that now that the world is unified, it's time to let the people of Great Qin rest!
Even if it just allows the people of Guanzhong to rest and take a breath, that would be good."
[Alas, the First Emperor, I don’t want to disobey you either.]
[But after seeing the dossier, I felt shocked. 】
[I really don’t want to be like what is recorded in history. The people in Guanzhong were so distraught that when the rebels invaded Hangu Pass, they didn’t even resist. Instead, they ate pots of pulp and looked forward to Liu Bang’s arrival. 】
[The bloody courage in Guanzhong was completely wiped out by strict laws, high taxes, and years of war.]
Looking at Qin Feng who gritted his teeth and persisted, Ying Zheng's face became increasingly ugly and he said angrily::
"Okay! Qin Feng, do you want to be a saint now? Do you think I did something wrong?
Our country, the Qin Dynasty, is known as the land of tigers and wolves. When did a great saint like you come out?
Do you really think of yourself as the successor of Confucius?"
Qin Feng sighed and said nothing.
He also knew that Ying Zheng was talking angrily.
After all, his prestige has been so high over the years that no one around him dares to say this.
They are all people singing praises, so it’s normal if you’re not used to them.
For an emperor like him, he can understand it after looking back and thinking about it.
But Qin Feng should also be thankful that he said this.
If it had been any other person, he might have been beaten to death by now.
Ying Zheng sat down on the table angrily. After a long time, he said coldly:
"If it is true that the corvee is light and the tax is low as you said, then how can the Great Qin treasury guarantee it?
Building a straight road or conquering Baiyue, which one does not require huge financial support?"
Qin Feng pointed to "Da Qin Daily" and said:
"Look at page three, page three."
Ying Zheng turned over, and sure enough, under the luxury goods advertisement, it said there was going to be an auction!
The list listed are all exquisite products from the Chu, Qi, and Korean royal families!
Ying Zheng looked at Qin Feng, frowned and said:
"Where did you get these things? Did you steal my treasury?"
Qin Feng called Qu Dao:
"It's unjust, Your Majesty, it was you who rewarded me.
When you told me to take whatever I wanted, I just took a little bit."
"???"
Ying Zheng looked at the list again, what the hell is this called a little bit?
The first time I advertised, I listed more than a hundred different treasures.
You have at least a thousand pieces on hand, right?
Qin Feng hinted shyly:
"Your Majesty, in fact, these things are just worthless ornaments in Wei Chen's place.
But if it is sold to those remnants of the Six Nations at a sky-high price, it will be a huge profit!"
Ying Zheng said doubtfully:
"Can this make money?"
Qin Feng said firmly:
"It will definitely work! What we need now is to keep hyping it up and making it more popular!"
Ying Zheng nodded and said solemnly:
"If that's the case, why don't I just move all the rich families in the world to Xianyang?
In this case, wouldn’t all their belongings become mine?”
Qin Feng shook his head and explained very professionally:
"This kind of robbery is too low-level! What we want to do is to rob without leaving any trace!
Moreover, the water flows slowly, so if you move them here, you will only get a small fortune, and you don’t know where they will hide their wealth.
What I am doing now is to make them willingly take out their money, and keep taking it out!"
Ying Zheng pondered for a long time and said slowly:
"Before, they all said that you were a bandit and entered the Qin Dynasty disguised as a Confucian scholar, but I still didn't believe it.
But now, you are finally exposed."
Qin Feng's eyes suddenly widened, and a drop of crystal tears slowly slipped from the corner of his eyes.
He said with a sad face:
"Horses! Slander! They slander me!"
