The common people listened to the fourth prince's words.
They are happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Because the fourth prince would never lie to them.
However, there were also people with good knowledge who persuaded Ying Qin.
After all, Ying Qin was only the fourth prince of the Qin Dynasty, not the emperor of the Qin Dynasty.
The royal man made a mistake.
Generally, the trial or punishment is carried out by the clan government, or the Emperor of Qin makes the decision himself.
If the Fourth Prince intervenes, it may affect his status.
After all, they've heard it.
Your Majesty's favorite is the eighteenth young master Hu Hai.
"Your Highness, this is not possible."
"We all know that His Highness the Fourth Prince is really doing it for our own good, but after all, he is your younger brother. If you punish him, Your Majesty will be dissatisfied with you..."
"Fourth Highness, please don't affect your status because of us, and don't do meaningless things for us. Only if Fourth Highness inherits the throne can we live a good life."
Countless people persuaded Ying Qin.
They really thought about the Fourth Prince.
After all, the fourth prince is the prime minister of the Holy King.
It is not easy for Da Qin to produce a sage.
Even incredible.
This is simply like smoke rising from the tomb of the Great Qin ancestors.
How is Ying Zheng?
For them ordinary people.
Ying Zheng is not good.
Especially bad.
There is a reason why he can be called a tyrant.
During the reign of Ying Zheng, the taxes in Great Qin were extremely heavy, and the taxes were so heavy that they were almost breathless.
And the most terrifying thing in Da Qin is not taxes.
It was corvee and military service that every household had to perform.
In the past, His Majesty spent countless manpower, material and financial resources on building the Great Wall, Epang Palace and the Imperial Mausoleum.
And who came from these?
It's not their common people who pay the bill.
But at this juncture.
It was the fourth prince who initiated the reform, abolished the people's taxes, abolished the people's corvee and military service, and terminated unnecessary infrastructure construction.
It’s not like it’s really terminated.
After the fourth prince developed business, he adopted the method of recruiting workers to build the Great Wall, Epang Palace, and the imperial mausoleum.
The fourth prince gave them wages, which were quite large every month, and they had three meals a day, including meat.
It can only be said that the sins of Ying Zheng's policies are in the contemporary era, but the benefits are in the future. He is a very qualified king, but not a good king.
After all, if you take a big step, it’s easy to lose your temper.
Ying Qin was really moved.
He really didn't expect that these people would defend him and have such high hopes for him.
This also illustrates a sentence from the side.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
But, it was just touching.
In the face of his own interests, it is clear what he should and should not do.
Because if a country wants to become strong and prosperous, it must squeeze these people. There is no doubt about this.
Only by emptying their wallets will the treasury be filled.
Otherwise, how would Da Qin use it to become bigger and stronger, launch wars, and invade other people's territories?
Since ancient times.
In fact, the number one enemy of the common people is the emperor.
Second are those who openly exploit them.
In other words, those people on the surface are just black gloves pushed out by the emperor.
In history, there were many emperors who openly robbed people of their money.
What are they called?
They are called tyrants.
Because the methods they use are too low-level.
Or maybe they didn't even think about hiding it.
I am telling you straightforwardly, I want to rob you of your money, and if you don’t give it to me, I will kill you, or I will kill all of your nine tribes.
The method adopted by Ying Qin was relatively gentle.
He will be responsible for the good guys, and others will be responsible for the bad guys.
As for who the bad guy is.
Of course it's the businessmen.
Ying Qin knew that it was time to win people's hearts.
He said with a stern face: "Shang Jun once said that princes commit the same crimes as common people when they break the law, and they owe debts and repay money. It is only right to kill people to pay for their lives."
"For anyone who tramples on or flouts the law, I will make them pay with their lives."
"Even if this person is my brother."
"This young master will also kill his relatives out of justice."
Also at this time.
Several Da Qin Iron Eagle warriors escorted the county magistrate and others over.
"Sir, the county magistrate has brought you."
Ying Qin turned around slowly and looked at the county magistrate with piercing eyes.
Plop! !
The magistrate collapsed on the ground.
Until now, he didn't understand what happened.
"Your Royal Highness..."
"This is none of my business..."
"His Eighteenth Highness is the Prince of the Qin Dynasty. I really don't dare to punish him. I can only pretend that I didn't see it..."
The county magistrate felt that he could still save himself.
And what he said is true.
How dare they interfere with the royal affairs?
Ying Qin looked cold: "Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. But as the magistrate of Xianyang County, you, Da Qin, are indifferent to Hu Hai's act of wantonly killing the people. As the parent and official of the people, you turn a blind eye to their grievances. , this is your sin!"
Turning his head, he looked at the county captain.
The county lieutenant is equivalent to the chief of the county police department in later generations.
It's just that in ancient times, the power of the county lieutenant was much greater than that of the police chief. The county lieutenant was not only in charge of the people in the patrol room, but also in charge of the military power of the county.
"As a lieutenant of Xianyang County, you preside over the law, but such a bad incident happened under your rule. You are an unforgivable sin."
"Come here, kill these two dog officers!!"
soon.
Several Iron Eagle warriors dragged them like dead dogs.
"Your Highness, please don't kill me! I was wronged!"
"Your Highness, I was wronged too!!"
However.
Iron Eagle Rui Shi didn't give them a chance to defend themselves.
He picked up the knife and chopped off their heads.
Two heads rolled to the ground.
Even to the end of his life, he still didn’t understand why he suffered such an unreasonable disaster.
"Good kill."
"This kind of dog officer really deserves to die."
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness."
"..."
Countless people clapped their hands and applauded.
No matter in any dynasty.
Corrupt officials make up the majority.
There are only a few honest officials.
As for beheading corrupt officials.
The people were naturally applauded.
Tap tap tap! ! !
Ying Qin put his hands behind his back.
He walked towards Hu Hai with a cold expression.
Bang! !
Ying Qin's footsteps were not loud.
But it crushed Hu Hai's fragile psychology.
Because he was too frightened, Hu Hai fell to the ground. He kept moving his butt back. He looked particularly funny without his hands, like a crawling caterpillar.
"you……"
"You...don't come over!!!"
Hu Hai looked frightened and screamed heartbreakingly.
The whole person seemed to be frightened.
because.
This madman means what he says.
If you say you want to kill him, you really dare to kill him.
He never joked with others.
