After listening to this, Zhao Xin understood what Liu Muzhi meant.
An emperor must have dignity, and dignity requires bloodshed.
If you are too soft-hearted, you will never be able to become an emperor. Your subordinates will rebel and the royal family will oppress you.
Even a benevolent king must have one hand full of wrath and the other hand full of mercy.
Just like Liu Muzhi said, in the vast territory of the Great Qin, there are countless heroes, raptors, ruthless people, geniuses, and extraordinary talents. He couldn't even protect himself at the beginning, so it was a bit ridiculous to talk about being feared by the world.
But now that the internal troubles have been basically eliminated, it is time to act like a true emperor.
"Okay, I understand." Zhao Xin nodded.
"For the next few days, please follow the original method to resettle the refugees."
"Also call Yu Qian over, I have something to discuss with him." Zhao Xin said to Liu Muzhi.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Muzhi left the palace.
Zhao Xin sighed. It turned out that...killing the eunuchs and ministers in power, taking back the imperial power, and rectifying the government were only the first steps.
In the future... there are still aristocratic families, seven kings, Nancang, countless terrifying and dark forces, and barbarians from all directions, all eyeing the Great Qin with covetous eyes.
Whenever he fell, this group of people would tear him and the Qin Dynasty apart like the most vicious and cunning wolves.
I have to keep fighting like this forever. Even if I destroy the Cui family and the eunuch king, there are still countless people waiting for me.
Still thinking about these things, Yu Qian came to the hall.
"His Majesty."
Zhao Xin smiled. This minister was also a subordinate that he was quite satisfied with. His ambition value was 95 and his loyalty was 105.
Yu Qian is the only one among all his civil and military officials whose loyalty has exceeded the upper limit of 100.
Of course, Yu Qian is more loyal to the country and the wise ruler, but as long as he doesn't go too far, he will never betray himself, even though his loyalty is more to the country and the wise and holy ruler.
"My dear, I have something important to discuss with you."
"Your Majesty, please give your orders." Yu Qian kowtowed.
"I want you to check the accounts and all the taxes."
"You must report to me carefully. Afterwards, I will entrust you with an important task."
"After completing the important task, I will promote you, but before that, you must complete my important task."
Yu Qian still kowtowed, "I obey your command, but I have one more question for your Majesty."
"What is it?"
"I don't know what the important task is."
"Rectify taxation. Any corruption in government offices at all levels will be severely punished."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qian completely understood Zhao Xin's meaning. He was even a little excited and kowtowed again, saying, "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Tax revenue is the backbone of the nation. Your Majesty must devote more effort to this."
Zhao Xin said to Qian, "Earlier... I was unable to take care of this matter. But now that Prime Minister Cui has resigned, I want you to take over and implement the new tax system."
“All tax revenue goes into the national treasury.”
Yu Qian replied, "I obey your order."
"Okay, let's get to work."
"First, go and find out all the things that Prime Minister Cui left behind, and then organize them and report to me."
"I hope you can take more care of the tax collection in the future."
Yu Qian is in charge of taxation? This is certainly not the best choice. When an emperor is in charge of domestic affairs, he should have a few favorite people.
First, Xiao He, second, Zhuge Liang, and later there were Zhang Zhao and Xun Yu. These people were all very good ministers.
Of course, Yu Qian has the ability to handle domestic affairs, but the key is that he is not greedy!
I don't have Xiao He or Zhuge Liang, who are geniuses in internal affairs. Although Yu Qian's internal affairs and taxation capabilities are not top-notch, they are also first-class. The most important thing is that I can rest assured.
This guy's loyalty is 105. Even if you put gold and diamonds as big as footballs in front of him, he will not betray you. Let him be in charge of collecting taxes, of course there is no problem at all.
"I will not let down your Majesty's trust!"
"Okay, then go ahead and investigate. Find out everything about Prime Minister Cui's tax system and report back to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
He kept calling this traitor "Prime Minister Cui" and he really wanted to cook this traitor to death, but he still had to follow the proper etiquette on the surface.
Anyway, he has already lost. Calling him Prime Minister Cui is just a matter of words. The court he has managed for many years has been uprooted by me. Just say Prime Minister Cui and I will say it.
There is a solution to the refugee problem, and taxation should be completely taken over and a new system will be implemented soon. Zhao Xin is in a very good mood at this time.
Now it's time to go find Su Qingyu, this kind-hearted and stunningly beautiful woman. There were so many problems in the capital back then that I didn't even have time to be intimate with her.
She must compensate the tyrant for what he owes her.
"Someone, come! Set up the Changle Palace!"
The eunuchs hurried in, and the eunuch outside the door spoke in a loud and sharp voice, "Your Majesty is setting up a show in Changle Palace!"
Zhao Xin followed a group of eunuchs to the Changle Palace gate. He turned and said to the eunuchs behind him, "You can disperse. I will wait for you in the Purple Palace tomorrow."
"Tomorrow at 9:00 PM, I will go to the Purple Palace to attend the morning court."
"Yes, Your Majesty," said the leading eunuch.
After saying this, Zhao Xin walked into Changle Palace, and the eunuchs behind him also dispersed.
Empress Su Qingyu's servants were already waiting outside the palace to greet Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin, dressed in a dragon robe, walked into the palace. Before entering, he turned and said to the servants behind him, "Don't wait outside the palace."
"Walk a dozen steps outside and take your night patrol."
