Li Yi lowered his head and said nothing, seeming to be ashamed.
This matter involved too much, and he did not dare to speak casually.
You know, in previous years, the government would ask God to sue grandma, and then all taxes would be collected under various tax-free circumstances.
"Two days ago, Dr. Zhang Han came up with a solution. I think this method is good and I can give it a try."
Emperor Qin glanced at him and said meaningfully.
However, after hearing this, Li Yi's heart suddenly trembled, and a bad feeling arose.
Zhang Han was no stranger to him. He came from a poor family. He was the doctor he had highly recommended before, and now he serves as a palace doctor.
Privately, he is also his person.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and said, "I wonder what method Doctor Zhang Han has thought of?"
"Doctor Zhang said that blindly giving in will only encourage the greed of these clans. He suggested that I should establish strict laws and impose restrictions to avoid causing catastrophe in the future."
"What heavy method?" Li Yi subconsciously swallowed his saliva and asked dryly.
Emperor Qin's face gradually became serious, and his imperial aura radiated out.
“Anyone who delays tax payment for one day shall be fined five times.”
"Anyone who delays for more than five days will have his or her home confiscated and imprisoned, including the Yi tribe."
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and his brain fell into dizziness.
He knew that he couldn't keep Zhang Han.
He could imagine how crazy those clans would be next.
"What do you think, Prime Minister, of this approach?"
Qin Huang's cold voice sounded in his ears.
He exhaled, raised his head, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise."
He didn't dare to answer directly, otherwise it would implicate him.
Moreover, he did not dare to deny it, otherwise, the scapegoat would become himself.
Listening to this ambiguous answer, Emperor Qin smiled slightly and did not clarify.
"In this case, I will issue an order to allow all counties to implement strict laws.
"As for the prime minister's dereliction of duty, half a year's salary will be deducted."
"promise."
Li Yi bent down and responded.
Next, I'm afraid he will lose a lot of his majesty.
That day, an imperial edict came from the palace.
Regarding the clan's delay in paying taxes, Dr. Zhang Han wrote to His Majesty to enact strict laws.
As soon as the imperial edict came out, the entire Qin capital instantly stirred up waves.
And this storm was quickly spreading towards the entire Great Qin.
Compared with this incident, the prime minister's dereliction of duty and being punished with half a year's salary seemed a bit insignificant.
Qin Heng, who was in the mansion, also received the news, and he had to admire Zhang Han for his strong character.
But then I thought about it more deeply, and I realized how strange this matter was.
I would like to ask, if you can become a doctor and have the knowledge to become a doctor, how can you be such a brainless person?
After thinking about it, Qin Heng could only think that this person was stupid in reading.
Sure enough, with the issuance of the imperial edict, those clans hated Zhang Han deeply.
However, the imperial edict has been issued, and these clans have no choice but to pay their taxes quickly.
After all, you have no joke.
As for other matters, we can only settle the accounts later.
These days, the smile on Wang Li's face has never stopped.
This is the first time in all his years as an official that he has been so happy to collect taxes.
In the past, those clans that needed to be treated like their ancestors now all revolve around the entire department of Su Neishi, for fear of exceeding the tax payment time.
"It seems that I have to write to Your Majesty to reward Zhang Han well." Wang Li grinned and thought to himself.
At this time, inside the Qinfang Palace.
Zhang Han looked at Emperor Qin with a look of despair, and begged: "Your Majesty, I am already old, and I really can't worry about Your Majesty anymore. I have no choice but to resign as a doctor and return to my hometown."
Emperor Qin looked at him with a strange expression. If he remembered correctly, Zhang Han should have just passed his forties this year.
"My dear, why don't you give me another reason?"
Emperor Qin couldn't help laughing.
He knew that Zhang Han was probably afraid of those clans and wanted to resign to protect himself.
When Zhang Han heard this, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched, and he regretted what he said that day.
Otherwise, Emperor Qin would not have used him like this.
It was clearly agreed that we would only discuss the strategy of governing the country, but why did he end up submitting a letter?
He now lives in dire straits every day, always feeling like a sword is hanging above his head.
Thinking of this, he looked at Emperor Qin with a sad face and said, "Your Majesty, I have a sixty-year-old mother and a three-year-old grandson at home. I really can no longer work for Your Majesty."
"Well, I originally wanted to cultivate Aiqing well. After all, you have made great achievements this time."
"Since Aiqing wants to resign and return to his hometown, I can only reluctantly give up." Emperor Qin sighed in a low voice and said helplessly.
Speaking of which, I did take advantage of him.
However, since this person is Li Yi's, he will not feel any guilt.
"My lord, thank you for your permission."
Zhang Han felt happy and quickly bowed his head and thanked him.
As for cultivating or not cultivating, he no longer cares.
He now wants to leave Qindu quickly and find a place to remain anonymous.
Time passed quietly.
There are only three days left before Guodi Lao is looking for someone to open a new store together.
On this day, a middle-aged man came to Guodi Lao.
"Hello, sir, is there one?" A bartender saw the person coming and greeted him.
"Tell you, Shopkeeper Guo, to come out." The middle-aged man glanced at him and said in a haughty tone.
"this……"
"Sir, please wait a moment. I'll call him right away." Seeing his arrogant look and rich clothes, the bartender didn't dare to neglect him and quickly turned around and ran towards the second floor.
The middle-aged man glanced at the first floor, then walked to the stool next to him and sat down.
thump thump thump
There was a sound of footsteps going downstairs.
Guo Can walked down with the bartender.
The moment he saw the middle-aged man, Guo Can's eyes flashed with surprise.
Why is he here again?
Guo Can thought to himself, walked up to the middle-aged man, cupped his hands and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, you are polite."
Shopkeeper Lu turned around, sat on the stool, and responded with a perfunctory salute: "Shopkeeper Guo, you are fine."
Guo Can smiled slightly, glanced at the people on the first floor, and said softly: "The first floor is noisy, why don't you go down to the second floor with Shopkeeper Lu to sit down?"
As he spoke, he turned sideways and stretched out his hand to signal.
"good."
Shopkeeper Lu nodded, stood up, and walked towards the second floor first.
"Get some water."
"promise."
After Guo Can ordered the bartender, he quickly followed.
The second floor is completely different from the first floor, with the entire floor being occupied by separate compartments.
Guo Can took a few steps forward, opened a door, stretched out his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, please come in."
Shopkeeper Lu nodded and walked in.
The two entered the room and sat down together.
"Shopkeeper Guo is very busy today, isn't he?"
Shopkeeper Lu looked at him narrowly and said meaningfully.
Guo Can's heart moved and he waved his hand: "It's just trivial matters."
