The First Tyrant of Daxia

But he still finished it.

"This is the first time in history that a land restriction order has been issued. It is unheard of and difficult to accept."

"Whether or not the emperor does this, I want to persuade him to give up this idea."

"Only by seeking coexistence with the aristocratic families and executing a group of radicals can we achieve a prosperous era in which the whole country is united."

After reading it, Qin Yun sighed.

"Alas, why is this eleventh brother so stubborn? Regardless of whether his idea is right or wrong, sending such a letter at this time is already a big taboo."

In the silent imperial study, no one dared to speak.

Only Elder Feng considered it and said, "Your Majesty, since the Eleventh Prince has a different opinion, the best way is to prove it to him."

Qin Yun turned around and said with a wry smile: "But now I don't even doubt that Qin Ci will help the clan."

Elder Feng frowned: "How about taking away his military power?"

Upon hearing this, many imperial guards retreated silently, not daring to listen any further.

Qin Yun rubbed his temples and said, "It's not that easy. Eleventh Brother has too many supporters. Taking away his military power is like asking for trouble."

"Besides, even if he helps the aristocratic family, he won't rebel, right?"

"At worst, put pressure on me."

Mr. Feng remained silent because this was too tricky.

"That's it!"

Qin Yun walked out of the imperial study with his hands behind his back.

"I won't reply to your letter. I'll just take it one step at a time."

After he left, he seemed a little worried.

If Qin Ci continues like this, he will probably end up on a path of no return.

I just hope that he won't go too far, and that as his big brother, I can give him a hand in the end.

……

Half a month passed, and spring arrived!

Crops all over the mountains and fields are waiting to be harvested by the people. The harvest is good and should be even more than in previous years.

Before the spring harvest officially began, Qin Yun took Xiao Yuxiang to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for a good harvest.

But the bad news never stops!

"Your Majesty, someone reported that wealthy places like Longyou had already started the spring harvest a few days ago!"

Qin Yun paused while sipping his tea and asked unhappily, "Longyou?"

He instinctively felt that it was not simple!

He frowned and said, "Besides starting the spring harvest early, are there any other suspicious issues?"

Guo Ziyun said: "The Longyou area did not follow the procedures."

“The original stock of the granary, the harvest volume and the accounts were not reported to the court.”

"In other words, only Longyou knew how much grain they collected, and the imperial court knew nothing about it and had no way to verify it."

"They just need to pay a little bit of tax and get away with it."

Qin Yun's expression suddenly turned bad!

"Asshole!!"

He slammed the teacup onto the stone table, causing the tea to splash everywhere.

"Humph, these bastards from Longyou want to take revenge on me for what I did in Lushan."

“They are not qualified yet!”

"Immediately send my order to go and hold them accountable. Anyone who is suspicious will be executed first and reported later!"

All the trusted ministers trembled.

The emperor was extremely wary of Qin Yun's wrath and would often cause bloodshed.

Gu Chuntang looked serious and advised softly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that holding you accountable is useless and will easily lead to chaos."

"All the nobles in the world come from Longyou. This statement is enough to show the specialness of that place. If they are determined, they will openly refuse to obey orders."

"Even if he is an official appointed by the imperial court, there is nothing he can do."

Upon hearing this, the cabinet ministers nodded one after another.

At the same time, I am angry inside!

The thing I was most worried about happened.

The aristocratic families were dissatisfied and began to tamper with the spring harvest.

And this spring harvest is Qin Yun's lifeblood. Without food, recovering Xiliang will be an empty talk.

At this moment, Qin Yun's face was grim as he looked into the distance.

Ba Jue said, "During this spring harvest, no one can take my grain. If anyone tries to take it, I will chop off his hand!"

As he spoke, his aura was so powerful that it made people tremble.

"Master Feng, go and start my plan immediately!"

"They want to be gangsters, so I will be a bandit!"

Mr. Feng bowed slightly, then left silently.

The cabinet ministers all looked suspicious on their stern faces. What was the plan?

"Your Majesty, what is your plan?"

"Why not let me make another trip to Longyou to perform supervisory duties and try to make the production figures more realistic," Guo Ziyun suggested.

Qin Yun stood up and shook his head.

"Lord Guo, you are old, and this matter is not something that can be helped by supervision."

"It depends on force and skill!"

"Longyou, you'd better not go there."

Guo Ziyun was unwilling to give up: "But if things continue like this, the imperial court will have to bear the consequences."

"For example, if the tax is 100,000 dan of grain, the nobles may steal some of it, and the tax grain will be reduced."

Gu Chuntang and others also said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"By doing this, at least the powerful families can be more restrained."

"..."

Qin Yun sneered: "Who said I want to swallow the bitter fruit?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

His eyes gradually became sharp, and he said, "Didn't I just say that I want to be a bandit for once?"

"They are a powerful family, so they have to report their production. If they don't, I will kill them!!"

The expressions of the cabinet ministers changed suddenly!

Your Majesty, are you a bandit and want to rob the powerful families?

It's too outrageous for the emperor to rob others...

If the truth is revealed, Your Majesty will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, and it will be a disgrace to the royal family!

Think of this.

Gu Chuntang and the others looked stern and could no longer sit still.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"

"How can the emperor rob food?"

Qin Yun tilted his head and said, "Who said I want to rob food? The tax part originally belonged to me!"

"Do you need to grab it?"

"But these bastards from the aristocratic families refused to give it to me, so I had no choice but to force them to give it to me."

"As a bandit, I don't steal food, I only steal people!"

Stealing people? ?

The cabinet ministers and military generals, all of whom were the most powerful people in Daxia, looked at Qin Yun as if he had seen a ghost.

Your Majesty, what does this mean?

The next second, Qin Yun's words almost made their eyes fall to the ground!

"Aristocratic families pay the most attention to the purity of their bloodline. The direct lineage is almost more important than their lifeblood."

"This time, I sent people to investigate the details of the descendants of several major families ten days in advance."

"What a coincidence! I found out that they are all the eldest sons of aristocratic families."

"Hmph!" Qin Yun's eyes turned cold and terrifying.

"God is really helping me!"

Suddenly, the trusted ministers exploded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you want to kidnap the eldest son of a noble family?"

Qin Yun looked at his group of confidants who were extremely shocked and said calmly, "Why, no?"

Gu Chuntang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your Majesty, your method is indeed a bit inappropriate. It's the same as robbery. I'm afraid it will attract criticism from people all over the world."

"Once your reputation is ruined, the world will be in chaos!"

"That's right, by then the situation will be out of control!" Guo Ziyun and others frowned, obviously disagreeing.

Who knew that Qin Yun waved his dragon robe and said domineeringly: "Why do I need fame?"

"When I turn Daxia into the strongest empire, everyone will have enough to eat and everyone will be protected by the law. Then people will no longer remember my methods!"

"besides……!"

"The rot of the family starts from within, and this is exactly what makes me successful!"

"Who said that I can't arrest people openly, earn fame, and extort money from the powerful?"

Mu Le was listening excitedly and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, have you found out what the eldest sons of the aristocratic families have done wrong?"

Hearing this, his eyes lit up!

The cabinet ministers looked at him one after another, and suddenly a hint of joy ignited in the depths of their pupils!
