Fortunately, they had deployed enough troops on both sides of the street.
As a result, no matter how hard the people tried to grab the copper coins that fell on the ground, they could never get close to Ying Yuan.
Ying Yuan's purpose of spending money is very simple, which is to waste more money.
He increasingly felt that there was too much money in the treasury.
Simply improving the welfare of the soldiers is not enough to completely drain the national treasury.
Therefore, he had to think of some cool moves, such as throwing money in the street.
After Ying Yuan arrived at the imperial palace in Shangjing City.
Zhao Gao then shouted to the people who had snatched the money:
"Your Majesty is gracious and compassionate to the people. I bestow upon you the coins today to let you know that you are always in His Majesty's heart."
"As long as His Majesty and the Qin Dynasty are here, you can live a better life. The money I give you now is just a small profit."
"As long as you follow the steps of the Great Qin Court, it won't be long before you gain ten or even a hundred times more wealth than this!"
He spoke these words completely on the spot.
Because beforehand, even he didn't know that Ying Yuan had actually prepared copper coins worth 300,000 taels of silver and ordered people to scatter them in the street.
However, as the emperor's accompanying eunuch, one of his duties was to let people know the emperor's merits.
So, he used the simplest language to tell the people of Shangjing City.
Your Majesty has you in his heart and is always concerned about your lives.
This has caused many people to be grateful.
"Long live the Great Qin! Long live Your Majesty!"
"Ten thousand years! Ten thousand years!"
“…”
This is how the people are. They will follow whoever can make them live a good life.
And the kind that is unwavering.
If one day, even the people living at the bottom of society feel the hardship of life.
This means that those in power are not doing the right thing, or at least not doing it well enough and need to improve.
Having said that, throwing money around in public really exhausted Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
If their prestige was not high enough and their voices were not loud enough, there would definitely be a stampede when the people were grabbing the money.
It can even cause the death of civilians.
But even so, several civilians were still seriously injured.
In order to better cooperate with Ying Yuan's "performance", Xu Chu immediately ordered the soldiers to send them to the nearest clinic for treatment.
All needs are paid by the court.
In a teahouse not far away.
Top floor.
There were a few people who witnessed Ying Yuan ordering people to scatter money in public.
They had profound internal strength and amazing hearing, so they naturally heard Zhao Gao's voice.
After a moment, someone slowly spoke: "As expected of the Qin Emperor, he is truly smart."
"Shangjing City was previously the capital of Jin State. If the people here all approve of Ying Yuan."
"Then very soon, the people of the entire Jin land will think that he is a good emperor."
"And nothing can win the hearts and minds of the people more quickly and quickly than publicly distributing money to them."
"At least, in the eyes of the people in the capital, Ying Yuan is no longer a bad emperor."
As soon as the words fell.
A masked, tall, and enigmatic man spoke in praise:
"In fact, Emperor Qin Ying Yuan was not a bad emperor."
"Among the kings of various nations, it is difficult to find someone who can compare with Ying Yuan."
These two people are the Queen of Huanyinfang and the bad leader Yuan Tiangang.
The fact that they can stand here and chat safely shows that the Yan people have infiltrated the capital city very deeply.
And they also sincerely felt that although Ying Yuan's behavior was simple and crude, it was the most effective and quickest way to win the hearts of the people.
"Now that things have come to this, does the Bad Commander still want to assassinate the Qin Emperor?"
The Empress, disguised as a man, asked.
Yuan Tiangang sighed first, then slowly said:
"The Imperial Order is hard to disobey. His Majesty has ordered us to assassinate Ying Yuan. If we don't, we will be disobeying the Imperial Order, which will also lead to our death."
After a pause, he changed the subject, looked at the empress, and said with a smile, "From what you implied, you don't want to assassinate Emperor Qin anymore?"
"You must know that the life and death of King Qi and the people in your Huanyinfang rests in your hands."
Hearing this, the Empress couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Knowing that this cannot be accomplished, do you think that you or His Majesty the Emperor will only be satisfied if everyone's lives are sacrificed?"
In fact, everyone knew that the Emperor of Yan wanted to destroy the entire underworld forces of the Yan State by assassinating Ying Yuan.
In this way, the power of the underworld will not interfere with the policies of the court.
Because over the years, the infiltration of forces such as Huanyinfang, Tongwenguan and Xuanming Sect into the court has had a huge impact.
If this continues, in ten or twenty years, we really don’t know whether the people in the temple will have the final say in the world of Yan State.
The Yan State's underworld forces still have the final say.
Therefore, Li Shimin or Fang Xuanling and others must solve the problem of the excessive power of the underworld.
In fact, Qin's manipulation of underworld forces is worthy of learning from other countries.
This is the method decided by Cai Jing.
At the beginning, he was worried that the power of the national teacher Zhang Jiao was too great and would affect the balance of the martial arts world and even the government.
So he used the power of the prime minister to support the Taoist forces such as Longhu Mountain to become stronger.
When Taoism became more powerful, Cai Jing turned to supporting Buddhist forces such as Shaolin Temple.
