In this way, both the underworld and the government can maintain a balance.
We can always find forces to restrain them.
But what about the underworld forces in Yan State?
Although on the surface, they are constantly fighting openly and secretly, this kind of fighting has already gone beyond the realm of martial arts.
It started to involve the temple.
Who can tolerate this?
And to be honest, Li Shimin had a high prestige in the court, but not like Ying Yuan.
He enjoyed extremely high prestige both among the people and in the court.
Anyone who dared to say anything bad about Ying Yuan within the Qin territory would be immediately drowned in the people's spit.
With such prestige, who would dare to act rashly?
Inside the former Jin Dynasty palace.
Ying Yuan didn't know that after he came here, Zhao Gao said something to the people in Shangjing City behind his back.
Otherwise, if he heard those words, he would have kicked Zhao Gao to death on the spot.
Even if I knew it afterwards, it would be useless. I could only treat it as being stabbed in the back again.
At the moment, the issue that Ying Yuan is concerned about is what Xu Chu mentioned, the issue of taxation in Jin.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand this either. If it weren't for Lu You and the others helping me, I wouldn't be able to figure this out."
"Even now, it's still a little confusing, but I heard what Lu You and the others said."
"The tax revenue of the entire Jin territory is approximately 100 million taels of silver. The tax revenue of Shangjing City alone is as high as 20 million taels of silver."
"Your Majesty, with the tax revenue from the Jin land, our Great Qin's life will become better and better."
Xu Chu had no concept of money, he just felt that it was a lot.
But Ying Yuan has a very clear concept of money.
He was frightened by the taxes imposed by Jin.
If this continues, the money earned from Jin alone will be enough to cover Qin's military expenses for a year.
It's even worse than before.
How can this be possible?
In this way, how can the money in the national treasury be lost?
Soon, he had a solution. "Xu Chu, what do you think of the lives of the people in Jin?"
Hearing this, Xu Chu scratched the back of his head and responded uncertainly:
"It should be okay, right? Anyway, since I led the army to station here, I rarely hear of people starving to death."
Qin's policy towards the people of Jin was very relaxed.
Cao Cao also reduced the taxation in this area again and again.
Otherwise, the tax revenue in Jin might have to be an additional 40 to 50 million taels.
Don't underestimate these 40 to 50 million taels of silver.
It is enough to allow some people who are almost starving to have a few more full meals.
Moreover, the Qin State is now suppressing the local nobles of Jin.
Land was slowly distributed to the people of Jin.
The pilot site was the Mingtai Mansion, which had just ended the chaos in the martial arts world.
Cao Cao had a good idea in choosing this place as a pilot.
First, several conflicts between Qin and Yan broke out here.
Second, the geographical location of Mingtai Prefecture was not very advantageous.
However, as the Qin and Yan countries attached more and more importance to it, many nobles began to risk their lives to come here to speculate and drive up housing prices.
Logically speaking, places that have been ravaged by war for a long time basically have few people living there.
But Mingtai Mansion is different. After experiencing the disputes between the two countries in the courts and the underworld, the people living here actually developed a mysterious sense of superiority.
When they introduced Mingtai Mansion to the world in the past, they just mentioned the word Mingtai and then moved on.
But now, when talking about the Mingtai government, we have to add the six words "a place of strategic importance".
With the nobles causing trouble, Cao Cao, as the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, would certainly not let them get what they wanted.
Otherwise, the people living there will inevitably find their lives more difficult.
After all, rising housing prices are there.
Therefore, Cao Cao came up with a solution. Since house prices could not be suppressed for the time being, he would start from other places and let those nobles give concessions to the people.
The best and most effective way is to distribute the land in the hands of the nobles to the people.
If the people had land, they could build their own houses.
When the time comes, the imperial court will issue an edict and the government will build public housing for people to live in.
Then the people’s self-built houses were demolished and they were given a certain amount of demolition fees.
At that time, we will let those foreign nobles use their assets to build houses.
In this way, a large number of wealthy business families were severely exploited.
Of course, this was the method Heshen came up with.
Cao Cao believed that it would not be difficult to implement and could be done.
As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, he still has some power.
Now, Ying Yuan heard Xu Chu's response, shook his head lightly, and said:
"Has our imperial court fulfilled its responsibility by ensuring that the people do not starve to death?"
"As a general, conquering the world is easy for you, but for me, ruling the world is far more difficult than conquering it."
"The people of Jin have just experienced a war, and their lives must be extremely difficult at this moment."
"Therefore, I have decided to exempt the capital from taxes for three years. As for the situation in other places, I will make a final decision after I have inspected them one by one."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Even military commanders like Xu Chu and Dian Wei could not help but be shocked.
Shangjing City is a big tax-paying place.
One third of the people living here are either rich or noble.
Moreover, the forces of aristocratic families, merchants, nobles, etc. are entrenched here, and the situation is complicated.
Isn't it too much to exempt them from three years of taxes at once?
However, this was Ying Yuan's decision, and they didn't dare to object, so they could only respond one after another:
