Chapter 341 The Black Belly Meng Yi
Chapter 341 The Black Belly Meng Yi
"His Royal Highness, as soon as the news that we are going to issue bonds came out, the entire city of Xianyang immediately boiled."
"Many people, without even looking at the specific date of bond issuance in the newspaper, rushed straight to the major branches and banks, blocking the roads."
In Yuxuan Pavilion, Xiao He reported the latest situation to Ying Yu excitedly.
Xiao He, who also came from a poor family, really empathized with the feelings of the people in Daqin today, and was secretly happy for them.
The poor family finally came to the fore.
For Ying Yu who created all this, Xiao He also admires from the bottom of his heart. This is really an enlightened king that has never been seen in the ages.
To be able to serve such a king, in Xiao He's opinion, this is definitely the most glorious thing in this life.
"How did the others react?"
Ying Yu waved his hand and asked.
"You left an extra quota of 5000 million for the officials. How could they have any objections? Now the courtiers have already set their eyes on the one million hired workers you mentioned, and they have made recommendations one after another, wanting to get more places for their hometown."
"As for the businessmen, they have already set their sights on the cement, concrete, steel, wood and other construction materials needed for the project, and are now waiting for the bidding to start."
Ying Yu nodded slightly when he heard the words: "Is there no objection?"
"Returning to Your Highness, there are indeed different voices. Some rotten scholars gathered together and criticized His Highness, saying that you are a great success, wasting my Daqin money and so on.
These people can't do much, they slandered His Highness, and some impatient people learned about it, the two parties fought directly in the street, and they were both arrested in the end, what should the Xianyang Order do? "
Xiao He reported with a smile,
"No matter what the reason is, since you have violated the laws of Qin, you must act in accordance with the law. These people who are fighting in the street should be punished and sent to the Grand Canal for labor reform."
Ying Yu also smiled and waved his hands.
"labour reform?"
Hearing these four-character new nouns, Xiao He was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked:
"Will you be paid then?"
"It's still a question? Can we let the people of Daqin work for nothing?"
Xiao He was speechless when he heard the words.
What kind of punishment is this? Re-education through labor is clearly a reward.
The common people are eager to join the project of the Grand Canal.
For this kind of big project, the hardest, most tiring, and most dangerous work is designated to be the coolies of the Maurya Dynasty at the front.
As for the people of Daqin who work, there are various guarantees, and the income is quite good, which is very sought-after.
But thinking of the stubborn heads of those rotten scholars, Xiao He also felt that these people deserved to be beaten.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already proved everything with facts. It is really incomprehensible that they insist on embracing those so-called sage's words without repenting.
Today's Daqin advocates the contention of a hundred schools of thought, no matter which theory it is, as long as it is beneficial to Daqin, it will be reused.
But there are some people who stick to the rules and don't want to make progress.
Any theory, if it cannot keep pace with the times, will be eliminated in the end, and even become a cancerous existence.
Typical, such as Confucianism and Mohism, which were known as the two great schools in the past.
Some people in the Mohist school have given up the so-called universal love and non-aggression theory.
Instead, he put all his energy into various researches of the Academy of Engineering.
During this period of time, they have made a lot of contributions to Daqin, and they have also made great breakthroughs.
It is precisely because of them that the progress of Daqin's science and technology has been promoted, Daqin has developed faster, and the common people have gained more benefits.
Isn't this what Mozi, an old man, hopes to see the people live and work in peace and contentment.
As for the once dominant Confucianism, the eight schools are now in constant internal strife.
Among them, the theory of ram has already sided with Ying Yu.
And the Meng family, who inherited Mencius, is slowly moving closer to Ying Yu because of the many benevolent policies of the Great Qin Dynasty.
As for the other schools of thought, they still cling to the so-called Zhou rituals and enfeoffment system, and they have moved towards the opposite of Daqin step by step.
"Don't pay attention to those rotten scholars for the time being. Now that the wisdom of the people of the Great Qin has been activated, it is impossible for them to continue to fool the people."
"If these people dare to continue talking nonsense, throw them to the pig farm and let them experience what reform through labor is."
Ying Yu snorted coldly.
Although Daqin has freedom of speech, Qin Law does not stipulate what can and cannot be said.
But it also depends on the occasion.
Even in later generations, freedom of speech is not absolute freedom.
At least it must be in line with Daqin's interests.
The reason why those schools of Confucianism supported Zhou rituals and the enfeoffment system was not for their own benefit, to put it bluntly.
But for today's Daqin, they can't afford to turn around.
After all, now, both the right to speak and Qin Luke are in Ying Yu's hands.
If these people are jumping, let them raise pigs.
"Your Highness is still wise!"
Meng Yi on the side almost laughed out loud.
It is exciting to think about letting a group of great Confucians who think they are knowledgeable to raise pigs.
This idea can only be thought of by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Meng Yi really wanted to see what these self-righteous Confucians would look like when they entered the pigsty.
At this time, Meng Yi was even thinking about whether to set up a trick to trick these people, because he couldn't wait to see the happy life of these people and pigs.
"By the way, where is the father now?"
Ying Yu interrupted directly, almost unable to hold back his smile.
"The East Patrol Fleet just set off from Wu County a few days ago. The next step should be Sanghai City. After the original route, Sanghai City will lead to Fusang Island. However, His Majesty decided to go to Liaodong on the spur of the moment."
When Ying Yu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Brother Zheng, this cheap father, seems to be having fun. If he goes on such a long journey, even if the traffic in Daqin is now developed, he won't be able to go back for more than half a year.
Although Xiao He, Chen Ping and Meng Yi took care of most of the government affairs during this period, Ying Yu was also exhausted.
Thinking of how many months it would take to live such a miserable life, Ying Yu became depressed.
This time, he was really tricked by Brother Zheng.
Looking at the pile of memorials in front of him, Ying Yu felt that he couldn't go on like this anymore.
Although I want to be the emperor, I don't want to be so tired.
No wonder since ancient times, there have been so many kings who were exhausted to death.
If Ying Yu had to choose, he felt that being a prince was much more comfortable than being an emperor.
You only need to come up with various ideas, and basically don't care about the rest. How easy it is.
No, brother Zheng can't be allowed to wander outside like this anymore.
We have to find a way to get Brother Zheng back.
