"No!"
A voice sounded, and everyone stared at it, and their hearts were shocked.
The person who spoke was actually...
Li Si!
The person closest to Liu Bai actually opposed Liu Bai at this time?
Even Feng Jie, who was already thinking about how to deal with it, was dumbfounded at this moment.
Frankly speaking, Liu Bai's move was amazing, it was equivalent to covering Feng Jie's mouth! Let him have no say in the matter of Zhao Party official position.
However, he, Feng Jie, was still confident that he could use his power in the court to change the world again, at least to ensure that these official positions could not be monopolized by Liu Bai alone.
However, what Li Si said next made Feng Jie feel helpless!
"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards have just been established. There must be some oversights in the investigation!"
"Naturally, people who are close to Zhao Gao have no right to recommend them. We must thoroughly investigate whether they have formed a party with Zhao Gao for personal gain!"
"As for the recommendation for official positions, I think that all the ministers can recommend it together and follow the usual procedures and send it to the Prime Minister's Office for review!"
Li Si spoke slowly, and then glanced at Liu Bai with an extremely subtle movement.
At this glance, Liu Bai understood instantly!
This...is not fighting, but protecting!
Uncle Li himself also saw his purpose, and then prepared to protect himself in his own way.
Liu Bai's actions just now can indeed get all the official positions in his pocket.
But as a result, he became the target of public criticism!
And Li Si did this for the sake of his official position, but the difference is... review by Li Si's right-hand position can naturally suppress these.
At that time, if you let out a little more breath between your fingers and cooperate with Jin Yiwei's investigation, you will naturally be able to stop everyone's mouth.
After all...the so-called recommendation is based on virtue!
But man... who can be perfect?
Every recommendation is given evidence of the reasons for rejection, and then coupled with Li Si's reputation, this is enough!
The key is....
This is in line with etiquette!
"allow!"
His Majesty the First Emperor on the high platform did not look at Li Si. Instead, he glanced at Liu Bai and said calmly: "Li Si, you are the Right Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, and you are the head of the officials. Recommendations for official positions are also within your power. You have full authority to handle the matter!"
The word "full power" was said by His Majesty the First Emperor casually, but it shocked the hearts of the ministers.
It was obvious that His Majesty the First Emperor saw clearly the little things about Li Si and Liu Bai.
This kind of tacit understanding between the emperor and his ministers is actually the control of the court by this eternal emperor!
And Liu Bai grew up with the tacit approval of His Majesty the First Emperor!
Thinking of this, Liu Bai glanced at Li Si gratefully.
He knew that this elder of the division was protecting him.
When you first enter the court, the foundation is unstable, just like a small boat drifting in the angry sea. If you are not careful, everyone will capsize.
But Li Si's little move attracted these wind and waves to his body.
Even if Liu Bai's power really takes shape in the future, it will be too late for these officials to react.
It can be said that Li Si is using himself to buy time for Liu Bai.
Feng Jie on the side also lowered his eyes slightly without any objection.
Li Si came to Feng Mansion last night and had a long chat with his father. If there are no surprises, it is the cutting of this piece of fat.
Although he couldn't swallow all the fat in one bite, this exchange of interests was already many times better than Liu Bai's!
"Is there anything else important to report?"
Seeing that the matter had been concluded, His Majesty the First Emperor spoke calmly.
Although Liu Bai's opening disrupted the normal process of the court meeting, what should continue must still be continued.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
"Although the rebellion in Hexi was suppressed in a timely manner, it still caused considerable damage to the people."
"Military disasters are as bad as natural disasters. What's more, these rebels also loot a lot."
"I sincerely request your Majesty to reduce the taxes, taxes, and corvee services for the people in the areas that suffered from war, and to return the people with interest."
Li Si slowly spoke to His Majesty the First Emperor.
Although the Hexi Rebellion was put down, it is a fact that the people suffered.
It is also reasonable to provide subsidies for tax reduction and exemption to the people.
"Da Si Nong Yang Ye. Do you have any opinion on the tax exemption and reduction of taxes and corvee?"
His Majesty the First Emperor on the high platform nodded slightly, looked at Yang Ye and asked.
Da Si Nong Yang Ye is the official in charge of treasury expenditures, equivalent to the Minister of Finance.
Although Da Qin is now recuperating and reviving after unifying the world, the pain of war is too severe and everything is waiting to be done.
Almost all the money in the treasury is used with the death penalty in mind.
The meaning of His Majesty the First Emperor's question is very obvious.
With the permission of the national treasury, tax and corvee reductions and exemptions will be given to the people to the greatest extent.
"Your Majesty, I think we can reduce taxes, taxes, and corvees by 30%!"
"Although the Hexi Rebellion is to quell the chaos, there is too much money to spend on the three-piece set of iron cavalry and the Huns guards in the north. In addition, we have to prepare for natural disasters in the coming year and provide relief."
"Thirty percent is the safest."
Yang Ye frowned slightly and spoke in a deep voice.
How could he not know what His Majesty the First Emperor meant, but...it is true that the treasury has no money!
It is possible to reduce the amount, but to exempt it...it is indeed not possible now!
As soon as these words came out, all the officials did not dare to say anything.
When it comes to the use of money from the treasury, there really isn’t much to say.
Li Si sighed secretly, moved his lips slightly, but did not speak.
"In this case, we will reduce the tax by 30% and reduce all the corvee for the coming year!"
His Majesty the First Emperor pondered for a moment, and then issued an order.
Taxes are compensation, and exemption from corvee service allows these people to farm with peace of mind.
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted."
Li Si bowed slightly.
Liu Bai on the side looked thoughtful.
The ancestors of Great Qin... were short of money! At this point, we must hurry up!
I don’t know if the Jin Yiwei sent out last night can work efficiently!
"Retreat!"
....
"No... Master, why do you always follow me?"
Outside Xianyang Palace, as soon as Liu Bai got on the carriage, he saw a shameless man following him, and he couldn't laugh or cry!
How come the dignified Sixth Young Master of Qin Dynasty, like a follower, insists on getting on his own carriage?
"Teacher, you are the head of the Yiwen Palace. As a student, I want to listen to more teachings. This is called making progress!"
Ying Che smiled slightly, not only not feeling embarrassed at all, but also kept urging Long Qie to leave for home immediately.
"Young Master, people's words are awesome! I don't want to get involved in some fights for the time being."
The carriage drove slowly, and Liu Bai spoke meaningfully.
This sentence actually makes it very clear!
First of all, he, Liu Bai, was not powerful enough to be involved in the battle for the crown prince.
Secondly, whether it will be involved in the future is another matter.
It can be said that Liu Bai said it after a showdown.
"Hey, teacher! I didn't say anything about what I wanted to fight for! I'm just curious about the teacher's literary talents!"
"Xianyang Palace is boring! We need to have some fun!"
Ying Che smiled, very cunningly.
Looking at this shameless Sixth Young Master, the corners of Liu Bai's mouth twitched slightly.
He never imagined that His Majesty, who was as majestic as the First Emperor, would have such a slippery son! Is this your own biological child?
but...
The moment he saw Ying Che, Liu Bai suddenly thought of the fact that Da Qin was short of money in the court today.
This young man...well done!
"Sir, I have something very interesting to do. Do you want to do it?"
