When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 221 If you know the law and break the law, you will get three thousand!
"What are you doing?"

Even though he knew that Zhang Ji was the favorite of Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji, as a court lieutenant, even if Ling Qi was already a prisoner of the barbarians and sentenced to five sentences, at least on the surface, he could not allow others to use lynching at will.

Moreover, the abuse of lynching is also illegal in Qin.

Of course, Kai asked a question, but he didn't really want to accuse Zhang Ji, as long as Zhang Ji found an excuse to fool him.He took the initiative to ask questions, firstly to defend Ting Wei and Qin Fa, and secondly to help Zhang Ji.

As Tingwei, he initiated the accusation against Zhang Ji, and naturally he decided whether to ignore it or sentence him.

Therefore, when he questioned Zhang Ji like this, he just wanted to give Zhang Ji a step down that would not violate the Qin law.

But Zhang Ji just smiled faintly at Kai Xiang, and bowed slightly, expressing that he knew about Kai Xiang's kindness, but he didn't intend to accept it.

"This person separates the mother-child relationship between the king and the queen mother. As a minister of Daqin, I really...really!" Zhang Ji's eyes were red, and he was panting heavily. At this moment, his expression was the same as when he ran with Zhao Ji at night on weekdays. After that, "I am filled with righteous indignation! Therefore, I slap this official!"

Zhang Ji's voice trembled, as if he was extremely angry.

"I know that I am guilty of violating the Qin law, so I ask the king and queen mother to come down!"

Zhang Ji bent his waist to the bottom, and said every word.

The look of gnashing their teeth, as if the two of them had some kind of sworn feud.

Ying Zheng on the throne looked at Zhang Ji below, with a chilly look on his face, and his voice was stern and majestic: "Hmph, even if it's out of loyalty, it still violates the laws of Qin."

"If everyone was filled with righteous indignation, Ling Qi would have been torn to pieces long ago! Let me tell you, even if you abuse your private behavior for the sake of the widow and the queen mother, it is still illegal!"

"Moreover, if you know the law and break the law, you should be held accountable!"

"Three thousand dollars!"

Ying Zheng's voice was slightly heavier, but it was still not enough to be called the tone and tone that scolding should be.

Moreover, Ying Zheng characterized Zhang Ji's illegal behavior in a few words.

Characterize it as an abuse of lynching for loyalty.

Although the Qin Law is complete and comprehensive, although it lacks entertainment, it guarantees civil rights and people's livelihood. In the final analysis, this is to safeguard the royal power and protect the interests of Yingzheng, the King of Qin.

Therefore, if you break the law because of loyalty, you can get a certain amount of forgiveness and reduction of punishment.

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and Nei Shi Si, as the only remaining resourceful confidant in Lao Ai's small circle, wanted to accuse Ying Zheng of being partial to Zhang Ji, but found that he had no way to speak.

Because, the punishment of paying three thousand to Jia is not a light punishment, but a heavy punishment.

There are many financial punishments in Qin law, such as giving armor or giving shields, but don't underestimate such punishments.

Three thousand sets of armor are enough to equip an armored army armed to the teeth.

You must know that the armor does not only include the layer of iron armor on the body, but also includes the whole set of equipment including helmet, visor, skirt armor and military boots.

You know, even in the state of Qin, a full set of armor with a helmet, skirt, and armor costs two thousand five hundred thousand dollars, which is almost fifty stones of grain. The annual salary of a public servant is more than one year, but it costs three thousand... That is nearly 750 million yuan, and nearly 18 shi of grain.

If a Marquis of Che had no fiefdom, his yearly salary would be no more than one thousand shi, that is to say, a Marquis without a fief would have to go without eating or drinking for 180 years before he could afford a fine of three thousand shi.

Who dares to say that such a punishment is that Ying Zheng favors Zhang Ji?
But for Zhang Ji, 18 shi seems to be nothing.

750 million yuan, Zhang Ji's interest-free loan to Qin Guo to build aqueducts has exceeded 2000 million yuan.

Everyone underestimated Zhang Ji's income. Even Yingzheng had never carefully calculated Qin's taxes and expenses for a year before taking office, nor had he checked the income item. He had never thought about Zhang Ji's income. How many properties there are, I just think that these properties are just a small piece of meat for Zhang Ji.

Today's paper and books, with the development of Mohism's technology, the cost and efficiency of paper manufacturing and text printing are less than one-tenth of the original cost made by Zhang Ji and a group of craftsmen, coupled with the improvement of technology And the almost assembly line-like workmanship, even the efficiency has been increased by nearly four times.

The cost is greatly reduced, the efficiency is greatly improved, and the income is naturally increasing.

At the beginning, Jade Tiger made an agreement that [-]% of the profit from selling paper and books would go to the Mohists, [-]% to Zhangji, [-]% to Luowang, [-]% to Confucianism, and [-]% to Jade Tiger.

Among them, Luo Wang's [-]% and [-]% entered the Qin State's treasury, Zhang Ji also took [-]% of his own [-]% income and lent it to Qin State as an interest-free loan, that is, Qin State's treasury actually It accounts for [-]% of paper and book revenue.

But it is this seemingly mere [-]% share that has greatly alleviated Qin's financial difficulties and emptiness of national power due to the construction of the Zhengguo Canal, which has enabled Qin to have sufficient defenders in lands other than Hangu Pass Otherwise, the nations would have joined forces long ago.

Although Zheng Guo, the hydraulic engineer, was in charge of repairing the canal, although it has not been completely completed, more than half of it has been completed, and the progress is increasing day by day.Moreover, for the part of the canal that has been built, many people along the way have obtained the convenience brought by the canal. The water brought by the canal is used to irrigate the land, which greatly increases the annual income of the land passed by the canal, and has begun to feed back to Qin.

And Zhang Ji's funding is to help Qin State further relieve the pressure on Qin State, so that Qin State will not be like the last time it was merged, and Qin State's national power is empty, which eventually led to Qin State's new occupation of a large area outside Hangu Pass. The land, but even the soldiers are not enough. Basically, every city outside the Hangu Pass is a symbolic resistance, and the city is captured by the coalition forces. Even most of the cities in Shangdang are Zhao, Han, and Wei. carve up.

Therefore, it is also the rulers of the various countries who see through the fact that Qin's national power will not decline any more but begin to rise slowly, that they will begin to prepare for the formal opening of the alliance in the near future and hold an alliance instead of continuing to try and wait. This canal completely crushed Qin.

It is conceivable how much property Zhang Ji, who almost single-handedly supported the financial crisis of the Qin State, owns.

What's more, Zhang Ji's property is far more than that.

Zhang Ji, as the owner of Zhang Ji in Anyi, has a lot of property. Nanyang also has the limestone mine given to Zhang Ji by the Emerald Tiger. The property of Xinzheng Chaojia.

That is the wealth accumulated by the Chao family for decades after lying on the body of South Korea, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period!
To be honest, that is to say, Zhang Ji handed over all these affairs to Chao Chao, and even he didn't know how much property he had.

Otherwise, if Ying Zheng found out about Zhang Ji's net worth, he might really have the urge to ransack Zhang Ji's home.
