Chapter 182
After Yingchen said the news, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Even for everyone present, it is not a good thing for the officials and gentry to pay for food in one piece.
However, in the end, the dust has settled.
Instead, there will be a sense of relaxation.
Ying Chen smiled lightly: "Of course, if you officials and gentry pay for the food in one piece, our royal family will naturally not lag behind!" "
"From now on, the Imperial Village of Great Qin will be just like you!"
"Every year, thirty percent of the grain will be transferred to the treasury and Taicang."
Hearing this, these civil and military officials, who have already received the same taxes as the royal family, can't help but feel much better.
Although he had already received the saying from the two prime ministers, Li Si and Feng Quji, that the royal family would pay taxes like them.
But no one is sure that Yingchen, the crown prince of Daqin, will cut the flesh on his body.
Now in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Yingchen gave a clear statement.
This has become a fact.
In this way, these civil and military officials, who were still very distressed, are just like Li Si and Feng Quji, who had already gotten the news 20 years ago.
The mind is balanced.
If even the royal family has to pay taxes honestly according to the guidelines promulgated by Yingchen, then what opinions can they, the nobles and families, have.
Therefore, since ancient times, the upper and lower levels should be concentric, and the monarchs and ministers need to be consistent!
If in this matter, Yingchen only cares about cutting the flesh of the nobles and the family, but the royal family does not pull out a dime, then the rebellions in various parts of Great Qin will be at least three times more violent than before!
At this moment, but seeing Li Si stand up: "His Majesty the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" "
"Nowadays, the Great Qin Treasury and the Shaofu are redundant, there is no division of power and responsibility, and the withdrawal is chaotic!"
"The late minister Li Si advised that from now on, the functions of the treasury and the Shaofu will be sorted out, so that the distinction between the two sides is clear, and the royal family shall not embezzle the money and grain of the treasury."
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials of Zhang Palace couldn't help but gasp.
Reese!
You're so brave!
You dare to say this kind of thing!
Here's what to say.
Although it is said that as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, as a king, there was a distinction between the inner treasury and the national treasury.
The inner treasury is equivalent to the king's private money, which can be used as much as you want, and there is no limit.
And if the king wants to use the treasury to get money, it is undoubtedly more difficult than the inner treasury.
Generally speaking, if you spend purely on enjoyment, you will basically be advised by your courtiers.
But even so, since ancient times, it has not been uncommon for kings to embezzle money from the treasury for their own enjoyment!
Not only the Great Qin, but even the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations.
After all, theoretically, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.
In this world, the king belongs alone, whether it is the treasury or the private treasury, nominally, he is alone.
And in the era of feudal monarchy, when the emperor forcibly wanted to embezzle money from the treasury, there was no way.
At most, it will affect his reputation.
And now, what Li Si meant by this was clearly to directly cut off the possibility of the emperor's misappropriation of money and grain from the treasury in the form of law.
You must know that Great Qin is different from other dynasties.
Since Shang Jun changed the law to become strong and established the country with law.
In Great Qin, there are already situations where even a king cannot break the law.
Back then, King Yingsi of Qin Huiwen violated the laws of Qin, because he was the crown prince at that time, so it was naturally impossible to punish him.
In the end, Yingsi's master, who is also the younger brother of Qin Xiaogong, has never received a pious belt and has his nose cut off! (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
Of course, this is also one of the reasons that led to the tragedy of Shang Yang later.
And from then on, the majesty of the laws of Great Qin was completely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The law can be changed, but before the law is changed, once it is violated, even the king of Qin will be held accountable by the entire Great Qin.
From this point of view, Daqin already has the concept of equality in front of the simple law.
Therefore, this is why when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard Li Si's request to cut off the royal family in the form of a law, to be precise, the first emperor and the crown prince Yingchen to embezzle the money and grain from the treasury, they would gasp.
This is simply slapping Yingzheng, the first emperor, and Yingchen, the prince of the Great Qin Prison State, in the face!
Of course, in addition to the shock, everyone was still a little puzzled.
When did Li Si, the always steady prime minister, become so brave?
This matter, even if Feng Qujian said it, it would be a little more likely than Li Si's words.
As a result, when the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, it was found that whether it was the first emperor Yingzheng or the crown prince Yingchen, they were not angry, but when they thought carefully about Li Si's words.
The minister understood.
Well, don't bother with it.
This matter must have been made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
As for the character of the first emperor Yingzheng, you want him to limit his rights?
Dream on!
Therefore, as for the crown prince Yingchen, in the case of Emperor Yingzheng, he is already a baby son who responds to his requests, so he can persuade Yingzheng to agree to these 760 requests.
And, this is a scene played by Li Si and the first emperor Yingzheng and the crown prince Yingchen!
However, if you think about it carefully, this scene is also for the good of Daqin!
From then on, between the treasury and the Shaofu, the rights and responsibilities are clear, and the royal family can no longer embezzle the money and grain of the treasury at will, which is undoubtedly a great thing for Daqin!
Unsurprisingly, the First Emperor would have agreed to this law soon.
Sure enough, but when Yingzheng spoke, he said: "What Li Si said is extremely true. "
"Since this is the case, then from now on, according to Li Si's wishes, set up a law for the royal family of Great Qin to make up for the money and grain that will be transferred to the treasury!"
"What does the prince think?"
This is the embodiment of Yingzheng's authority on Yingchen.
Daqin's matter, after he made a decision, Yingchen had the right to make a second decision.
To be honest, in the entire Great Qin, only Yingchen has this treatment.
In this regard, Yingchen naturally can't have any opinions!
But seeing Yingchen smiled and nodded: "Erchen has no opinion, everything will be done according to the opinion of this father and Li Xiang." "
At this moment, the important ministers present suddenly froze.
Then he bowed directly to Ying Zheng and Ying Zheng: "We are waiting for Da Qin to congratulate, for His Majesty the Emperor, and for His Royal Highness the Prince!" "。
