Chapter 948: It’s Time to Give Her an Explanation

A few days later, on the road from the north of Great Qin to Xianyang, countless spies were walking on both sides of the road, checking for possible dangers, because behind them was the motorcade of the First Emperor of Qin.

They set out in spring and spent almost half a year on the grassland before finally returning to the Great Wall again.

Although the Great Wall has lost its main function of fighting the Huns, it is now mainly used for resting and some storage for herdsmen.

There are also many Confucian scholars who simply set up the hidden soldier caves inside the Great Wall as simple schools.

They couldn't say anything because the leader was Prince Fusu.

But no matter what, they will always feel more at ease when they return to the Great Wall.

Once you get used to the feeling of a Huaxia family, you won't have so many worries.

At this time, in Qin Shi Huang's carriage, Zhao Gao was talking to Qin Shi Huang about the news he had received after entering the Great Wall.

Except for emergency information, it is not that convenient for them to receive information on the grassland.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince consecrated Mr. Tian from the farm to a god."

Qin Shihuang nodded and said lightly,

"The old man has worked hard all his life, and it's worth it to be granted a god status."

"Besides, after these people go to heaven, they will serve me."

"The Taoist group has already prepared the title of Emperor of Heaven for me."

Although he is not very familiar with the other party, he treats anyone who contributes to Da Qin extremely favorably.

He has almost never killed any heroes in his life.

After he entered the imperial mausoleum, these people in heaven would still work for his empire in heaven.

So nothing bad.

Hearing this, Zhao Gao could only smile,

Qin Shihuang could talk about his own affairs, but he did not dare to speak.

If you say something wrong, you will really be joking with your own life.

He knows exactly what can and cannot be said.

So he changed the topic and said with a smile,

"Your Majesty has another happy event. The taxes for this spring and summer have been released, and the amount is extremely considerable."

"The tax revenue in Xianyang alone is nearly five times more than the previous two years!"

"Although other counties have less, they still have twice as much!"

"This year the tax revenue of the entire Daqin is expected to at least triple!"

Qin Shihuang didn't look too happy when he heard this. Instead, he frowned and asked,

"This spring and summer is the busy time for farming and sowing. Who gave the order to collect taxes?"

The government naturally has to collect taxes. After all, there are so many things to do and so many officials to support.

But generally speaking, taxes are not collected during spring plowing and summer planting.

Otherwise, if people pay taxes but lose money for seeds and farm tools, which will affect the autumn harvest, there will be a big problem.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao quickly said,

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that these taxes have nothing to do with farm income."

Qin Shihuang was relieved at this. He was a little curious and said "Oh," and continued to ask,

"Since this tax does not come from farmers, it must come from those businessmen."

At this time, Zhao Gao sighed,

"Your Majesty is wise."

"These extra taxes are collected from merchants and new businesses of various nobles."

Although Qin Shihuang already had a guess, he still couldn't help but sigh,

"So many?"

Zhao Lang had told him before that commercial taxes would greatly increase Da Qin's income.

But I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

Do you want to know how long it has been since this started?

When business in other counties gradually develops, it will be an extremely terrifying figure!

Zhao Gao also nodded and said,

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly a genius!"!

Hearing Zhao Lang being praised, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but smile, but he still said,

"There is no harm in using these people to make some money, but the foundation of the country lies in the availability of farmers, merchants and soldiers."

"Lang'er can't be blinded by all this money."

He has never had a good impression of businessmen, and he will definitely talk to Lang'er more about it after he returns.

It's not a good thing that this kid is too good at making money.

Zhao Gao immediately agreed,

"Your Majesty is far-sighted. Your Highness really needs your attention."

Qin Shihuang asked Zhao Gao to remember this incident later, and then he thought of something, and then said,

"Go and write a letter to Yin Man and ask her to come pick me up."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao's expression flashed with complexity and he said,

"Your Majesty wants to tell the princess...um, Yinman's true identity?"

"Will this..."

Qin Shihuang waved his hand slightly, interrupted Zhao Gao, and said with some emotion,

"I have watched this child grow up. Now, seeing her being tortured makes me feel uncomfortable."

"Besides, I am indeed sorry for Lang'er."

"Now it's time to give her an explanation."

Seeing that Qin Shihuang had made up his mind, Zhao Gao stopped persuading him and quickly took the order to leave.

Not long after, a group of messengers headed towards Xianyang.

A few days later.

Inside the Xianyang Palace of the Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Lang looked at the document in his hand with a smile on his face, while Chen Ping stood aside.

After reading it, Zhao Lang said with a smile,

“Finally I can feel more comfortable.”

When my father was in power, construction never stopped, and later after two wars between the north and the south.

Da Qin was already extremely poor.

Fortunately, thanks to the support of Potato, no major problems occurred.

But Da Qin's life can only be said to be barely passable.

It was a bit tight, and everyone tightened their belts to live together.

Now that these commercial taxes have been initially raised, the internal development of Daqin will be much faster in the future.

"Brother Chen Ping, I'll leave the south to you. I want no one to starve to death in Daqin after the first five years."

The current population of Da Qin is still relatively small, just over 20 million.

It is still possible to initially solve the problem of food and clothing.

Chen Ping arrived at this time,

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely do it."

Zhao Lang suddenly smiled. After the two discussed for a while, Zhao Lang personally sent Chen Ping to the entrance of the palace.

The future situation of Da Qin is very good, and Zhao Lang is in an extremely comfortable mood. He is humming a tune and is about to go see his children. The two little ones are learning to call people these days, and he cannot miss it.

At this moment, he saw Ying Yinman and his men walking hurriedly towards the palace entrance, as if they were about to leave.

When the other party arrived, Zhao Lang couldn't help but ask,

"Sister Huang, where are you going?"

Ying Yinman replied,

"Alang, my father sent a letter asking me to pick him up. Maybe he has something to ask me for."

Zhao Lang nodded. Not knowing what his father was thinking, he could only say,

"Sister, please be safe on the road."

After Ying Yinman saluted, he left directly with the others.

Zhao Lang looked in the direction of his father and couldn't help but said to himself,

"Why did dad ask the imperial sister to pick him up?"

Shaking his head, Zhao Lang stopped thinking about it and walked back.
