Ying Zheng flipped through the reports, his voice calm, yet it made them tremble slightly.
"Is Qingrui too tolerant of you? Or are you giving Qingrui a chance to deprive you of your rights as members of the royal family in the future?" Ying Zheng looked at them indifferently.
There is no shortage of food at present, and under the heavy pressure of the court, the land is no longer allowed to be sold privately, so they no longer merge the land.
One by one they reached out to the business. If they behaved honestly, he would not be so angry even if they made a small mistake.
Look at what they have done. They condoned their subordinates to evade taxes, reduce the court's tax revenue, and even falsify taxes.
In addition to these, he also relied on his status as a royal relative to accept benefits from others, provide protection for them, and help them evade taxes.
They haven't done much at the moment, which is why Zhao Qingrui hasn't taken action to deal with them yet.
Ying Zheng's words made their faces turn pale.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." Your Majesty has already found out all these things and the evidence is solid. After hearing what he said, they are now a little scared.
Zhao Qingrui did not grow up with them, and the only people she had a good relationship with were Fusu and a few others.
They dared to guarantee that as long as they went too far, she would definitely deal with them immediately and without mercy.
"Go and kneel outside Zhangtai Palace for an hour. After you go back, make up for what you stole and stay away from those questionable people." Ying Zheng said lightly.
He didn't want to see his children killing each other, and Ying Zheng was very disappointed with their actions.
Several people did not dare to refute. At this moment, they just wanted to clear themselves out. After being scolded by their father, they were also afraid.
Although they had earned a lot of money before, if something went wrong, they would definitely be dealt with by my younger sister, and it would be normal for them to lose both their money and their lives.
My younger sister really dared to kill people. Even Hu Hai, the emperor's favorite, was exiled everywhere. They didn't want to be like Hu Hai, who died in exile and was buried in a remote corner of the imperial mausoleum.
When Li Si came to report on his work, he saw the young masters kneeling outside. As the person in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, Li Si naturally knew everything these people had done.
His Majesty also knew that the main reason he did not attack these brothers and sisters was that they did not dare to go too far at the moment.
Seeing Li Si, the young masters were also a little embarrassed.
After Li Si bowed, he entered the Zhangtai Palace.
The only sound in Zhangtai Palace was the flipping of pages. When Li Si came in, he saw Ying Zheng looking through the commercial taxes and land taxes.
"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si indifferently.
"Your Majesty, this is the expenditure plan that Your Majesty is preparing to use to dig a canal. Please make your decision." Li Si took out the expenditure plan for digging a canal and presented it to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took it and started reading. He knew that Zhao Qingrui wanted to dig a canal. As he flipped through the book, he couldn't help but take a breath. This girl really wanted to do something big.
As for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, there is indeed a water shortage in the north. If there is a drought, problems often arise in the north, and poor harvests are a common occurrence.
This project is too big and requires a large amount of gunpowder to blast the mountain. We should try to shorten the project to the minimum.
Looking at these expenditures, Ying Zheng felt a little overwhelmed. There was so much money, and if it wasn't handled properly, something big would happen.
"Let's put this plan aside for now and make a decision after discussing it with the court officials tomorrow." He couldn't make a decision on this matter lightly.
"Yes." Li Si did not refute. This was indeed a big deal and could not be decided at this moment.
Zhao Qingrui received the video from Ying Zheng. After knowing that he had beaten up all those brothers, he just raised his eyebrows slightly and was not very surprised.
To her, those were half-brothers with whom she was not very close, but to Ying Zheng, these were his biological sons, so they were different after all.
"Father did this for my brothers. It's a good thing." Zhao Qingrui said happily.
"Stop flattering me. Don't I know you well? You are just trying to feed their ambitions. Qingrui, they are your brothers. They will be the ones who can help you in the future. Don't be so ruthless to them." Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at her and then persuaded her.
"I know all this, but when they were doing these things, did they ever consider me and Daqin? As long as they don't go too far, I won't have time to deal with them." Zhao Qingrui curled her lips. Her father still valued family affection very much.
"Yes, yes, I was wrong about you." Ying Zheng chuckled, and seeing his daughter pouting with a jealous look, Ying Zheng also softened his heart.
"Hmph, I thought that father would ignore his daughter like me for the sake of his brothers." Zhao Qingrui snorted proudly. The maintenance of feelings is mutual, and she didn't want to have any rift with her father.
"How is that possible? You are my most beloved daughter. No one can compare to you." Ying Zheng immediately said seriously.
Now Zhao Qingrui's position in his heart is indeed unmatched by anyone.
"Really?" Zhao Qingrui didn't really want to quarrel with Ying Zheng.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Ying Zheng was relieved to see that Zhao Qingrui had stopped throwing a tantrum. His daughter was different from his son. She was delicate and soft, so he couldn't bear to say harsh words to her.
"That's more like it."
"By the way, are you really planning to carry out the South-to-North Water Diversion Project? Such a huge expenditure will probably have a significant impact on the Qin Dynasty." Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui, trying to see some hesitation on her face.
