Da Qin: I asked you to touch the jade seal, but you touched a woman?

Chapter 479 Xiao He's proposal is relatively fair!

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao He was very moved.

He was just an ordinary citizen who was able to enter the court because of the imperial examination system, and now that His Majesty cares for her so much, how could he not dare to move?
"Get up." Ying Zheng raised his hand.

However, Xiao He still didn't get up, but said: "Your Majesty, I have a request."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng was a little surprised, "Tell me."

"I dare you, Your Majesty, please issue an order to reduce the policy of Chu to the same level as that of Kansai."

As soon as Xiao He said this, Li Si's expression changed drastically, and he quickly looked at Ying Zheng.

Seeing that Ying Zheng's face also changed slightly, Liston suddenly cried out in his heart that something was wrong, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, Xiao He must have said something wrong..."

However, Ying Zheng waved his hand and stopped Li Si from interceding: "Let him speak."

He really wanted to hear why Xiao He made such a bold request.

Daqin lost a lot of troops when it took Chu land.

So for Chu Di, Ying Zheng had hatred in his heart.

The policy implemented in Chu is much stricter than other places.

In his opinion, this is what it should be.

In the past, a minister who had no relationship with Chudi made this request. When Ying Zheng was in a good mood, he directly rejected the proposal, but he did not punish the person who made the request.

But when you are in a bad mood, those who dare to mention this matter will directly die.

Li Si knew this matter very well, and he also knew that Ying Zheng was very angry at the performance of the ministers today.

So when he heard Xiao He made this request, his face changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, today is different from the past."

Xiao He naturally had his reasons. After Ying Xi recommended him to go to Chudi for disaster relief yesterday, he was extremely excited.

After returning, he learned about the situation in Chudi.

And from this understanding, we can see that the policies in Chudi are stricter than other places, and the taxes are higher.

Although the disaster situation in Chu this year has little to do with taxation, Xiao He believes that if Chu is truly integrated into Daqin, their treatment must first be made consistent with other places.

"Your Majesty, please think about it. Will the Chu people have a good impression of me, Daqin, after they know the policy of the Kansai land that is separated from them by a mountain?"

"In this way, even if they go to the disaster relief this time, they will only think that His Majesty is hypocritical, and they will not have any gratitude."

What Xiao He said was sincere, and Ying Zheng frowned after hearing it.

He had to admit that although what Xiao He said was not pleasant, the truth was true.

But he still didn't want to let Chu Di go just like that: "But the Chu people made me Daqin bleed a lot, so I just let them go like this, I'm not reconciled!"

Xiao He said: "I am also from Qin, I can understand your majesty's mood."

"If Your Majesty really still has resentment towards Chu Di, why don't you just reduce the amount of disaster relief for Chu Di, so that they can barely survive this year."

"In the coming year, it's okay to let them start from scratch."

After Xiao He said this, Ying Zheng's mood improved a lot.

The anger in his heart dissipated when he thought that most of the Chu people had to live in tight clothes.

"Okay, since you said so, then the widow agrees!"

"Your Majesty is merciful, I thank you on behalf of the people of Chu!" Xiao He knelt down and kowtowed.

"Okay, let's go back and get ready."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and then said to Li Si and the others: "Go and help Xiao He to see if there is anything to add."

"It's up to you to let Chu land belong to my Da Qin this time."

"I obey!" After Li Si and others left, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Xi'er, Xiao He, you really are a minister capable of governing the world!"

Being able to come up with such a way to get the best of both worlds is more than ten times better than other ministers who only know their own interests!
No wonder Ying Xi would recommend Xiao He to go to Chu to help the disaster. If it were someone else, they might not have the guts and courage to make such a request.

But immediately, Ying Zheng asked Ying Xi's views on Chu's policies.

"Father, my son thinks that true fairness is actually impossible."

Ying Xi didn't answer directly, but gave an ambiguous answer.

Ying Zheng heard something strange.

"Could it be that Xi'er doesn't agree with Xiao He's statement? Shouldn't the policies of Chu and other places be the same?"

"No, Xiao He did the right thing."

Ying Xi shook his head: "What my son said is about the future."

"What's next? Tell me!"

Ying Zheng suddenly became interested.

For him, the current Daqin has far exceeded his expectations, and what he cares about is the future of Daqin, that is, what will happen in the future.

Ying Xi smiled and said, "Father, how about using the imperial examination as an example?"

"Okay, you say."

Ying Zheng was more interested.

After seeing the wisdom of Xiao He and others, he was very satisfied with the imperial examination.

Now that Ying Xi wants to use the imperial examination as an example, he is naturally very interested.

"Father, this is the first imperial examination. Due to haste and various reasons, the number of people in different places is about the same."

"But father should know that the customs and customs in the north and south of Daqin are very different, and this will also cause a widening gap in the level of students in the two places."

"If my minister's prediction is correct, the south is rich, and the level of students in the future will be higher than those in the north. In this way, if every imperial examination is selected according to the ranking, the proportion of students in the north must be very small."

"But Daqin is one, and if there are fewer students in the north, it will cause great dissatisfaction. Therefore, if you want to satisfy everyone, you can only balance it and make it relatively fair."

Having said that, Ying Xi didn't go any further.

He knew that at Ying Zheng's level, he must have understood what he meant.

Ying Zheng did understand at this time.

Ying Xi used the imperial examination as an example, but he understood that the same thing applies to policy.

After the Great Qin unified the six countries, the vast territory far exceeded Ying Zheng's expectations.

And the situation in each place is also different. Take the harvest as an example, there is also a huge gap.

If the taxes are the same in all places, then some places will be a drop in the bucket, and some places will make it impossible for the people to live.

In this way, we can only charge more in places with more and less in places with less.

"I understand what you mean."

Ying Zheng nodded, but then asked again: "Then you said just now that Xiao He's words are fine, so why?"

Ying Xi smiled lightly: "Father, what my son said just now is about the future."

"Now there is not much difference between different parts of Daqin. If the policy is different at this time, most people will be dissatisfied. Therefore, Xiao He's approach is not a problem now."

"I see!"

Ying Zheng suddenly realized, and looked at Ying Xi full of surprise and admiration.

This prince is right!
