Chapter 422 The Waterproof Breath

Moreover, some of these loopholes are not small!

After finishing the first volume, the three of them felt the pressure doubled in their hearts, and they dared not read the second volume.

With this in mind, the three of them looked at Ying Xi, who was reviewing the memorial with a relaxed face, and felt a little incredible.

After reading only one volume, they felt a little unbearable.

It was hard for them to imagine how Ying Xi recorded all these things.

This should bear the pressure of winning!

"Xi'er, you have suffered." Ying Zheng said with some difficulty.

Ying Xi was very surprised when he heard the words: "Why did the father say such a thing?"

Ying Zheng pointed to the bamboo slips brought by Ying Xi: "The widow only read one volume, and felt the pressure suddenly increase. It is really unimaginable, Xi'er, how did you bear it."

Only then did Ying Xi understand what Ying Zheng meant, and couldn't help but smile.

"Cao Aiqing and the Prime Minister also feel the same way?"

Cao Changqing and Li Si nodded at the same time.

They felt the same as Ying Zheng. Before that, they thought that the policies formulated were impeccable.

Unexpectedly, there are so many loopholes.

They are simply ashamed!
"Pressure, of course there is."

The smile on Ying Xi's face faded and gradually became serious.

"They can be the people of my Daqin, that is their trust in us."

"So we should be responsible for them."

"But there is no perfect person in the world, and there is no perfect policy that can be done once and for all. As long as we find out the problems and find ways to solve them, we will live up to the trust of the people."

What Ying Xi said made the three of Ying Zheng suddenly enlightened.

Afterwards, the three of them took a deep breath and looked at the next record.

After reading it, the sky was already dark.

After Cao Changqing and Li Si had a quick meal, they reviewed the memorial.

And Ying Zheng brought Ying Xi to the Palace of the King of Qin, and he wanted to ask Ying Xi many questions.

"Xi'er, I see that what the common people talk about the most in your records is the issue of taxation."

Ying Xi nodded. The things he recorded were not recorded in chronological order, but recorded according to the number of times the people mentioned them.

This can more or less reflect what has the greatest impact on the people.

"Tell me your opinion," Ying Zheng said.

"Father, the statistics of those people who raised tax issues, most of them are those places that were brought down by my Great Qin."

"In order to prevent those places from rebelling, they implemented a higher tax than Daqin."

"However, after these years, there is no tendency to rebel in those places. In addition, my Daqin has had a bumper harvest in recent years, so I feel that it is no longer necessary to impose high taxes on them."

"After all, they are also my citizens of Great Qin."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slowly.

Among the reasons Ying Xi gave, the last sentence moved him the most.

That's right, those people are now the citizens of Daqin, so naturally they must be treated equally!
"Okay! I will announce this decree tomorrow morning!"

"On behalf of those common people, my son, thank you, father and king."

"Hahaha, good!"

Ying Zheng laughed a few times.

But after laughing a few times, Ying Zheng suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Xi'er, you said that the taxes in those places were suddenly reduced to the same level as those of the people of Daqin, what would the soldiers who had shed blood and sweat there think?"

"Did they feel that their sacrifice wasn't worth it?"

"Father, I have already thought about it at this time." Ying Xi smiled confidently: "I haven't finished speaking just now."

"In which places, there are still some nobles. For these nobles, we can still collect higher taxes."

"What I, Great Qin, need are the people of that place, not those nobles."

"Because my Daqin soldiers are all from the common people, they must be able to understand the difficulties of the common people."

"Moreover, if the nobles are charged with high taxes, even if the nobles and the people there were of one mind before, they will be divided because of this matter."

"People, you must be able to feel that my Daqin attaches great importance to them, and have a sense of belonging to my Daqin!"

"Good! Good!"

Ying Zheng's originally worried expression suddenly became happy after listening to it.

"I didn't expect that Xi'er had already thought about what the widow was worried about! Good, good!"

After saying it several times in a row, Ying Zheng finally let go.

Later, Ying Zheng asked Ying Xi about other things.

The two chatted until dawn. After all, Ying Zheng was old and couldn't stand it any longer, so he yawned.

"Okay, that's all for today, you should go back and rest."

Ying Xi nodded and prepared to leave.

Ying Zheng suddenly stopped him: "Wait, I almost forgot one thing."

Ying Xi turned around suspiciously: "Is it about the imperial examination? I'll arrange it immediately when I go back."

"No, there's no rush for the imperial examination, we'll talk about it after it's over."

Ying Xi shook his head, "It's about your grandfather."

grandfather?
Hearing this almost unfamiliar title, Ying Xi was a little curious: "Father, my grandfather, who is it?"

Ying Zheng suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Qi State: "Mr. Anping, your grandfather is Lord Anping of Qi State."

"It's him?"

Ying Xi was a little surprised, but also understood why he hadn't heard of it before.

"What happened to him?" Ying Xi asked.

"He's going to have his eightieth birthday in a few days, so go and see him instead of me."

Looking at Ying Zheng's expression, Ying Xi understood a little.

In this era, there are very few ordinary people who live to be 80 years old.

Living to the age of 80 is worth celebrating, but it also means that this person's life is coming to an end.

Ying Zheng was sad for a moment, and quickly reminded: "Xi'er, you have to be careful when you go to Qi."

Ying Xi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Qi has not yet surrendered, and the two countries are still hostile.

There must be many main combat factions in Qi State.

These people might also want to take advantage of this opportunity to do something.

Then let Qi and Qin fight.

This trip by myself gave these people a chance.

but……

Ying Xi burst out with a fighting spirit.

What is he afraid of?
Feeling the aura erupting from Ying Xi, Ying Zheng was secretly startled, and at the same time put his heart back.

Since Ying Xi already knows to be careful, no matter what methods Qi Guo uses, the final result will definitely end in failure!
He even had some expectations that Ying Xi's trip might bring the Qi State, which was still unwilling to contribute to the country, directly into the territory of Daqin!

In this way, Daqin's territory will be greatly expanded!
For him, this is something that the emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty have not done!
If he did it, then his name will surely go down in history and be passed down through the ages!
