Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time
Chapter 199: Ying Xuan’s promise, the prototype of the Wanmin Brick, gathering the luck of the nine
Chapter 199: Ying Xuan’s promise, the prototype of the Wanmin Brick, gathering the luck of the Nine Provinces, can be called the Human Emperor!
Of course, in addition to the supremacy of imperial power, these commoners also knew that Ying Xuan was showing mercy.
Otherwise, it is not impossible to execute a group of people for making such a fuss.
"Your Majesty, we are just ordinary people. If we were not forced into a corner, we would not risk the lives of our family members and block your way to make a statement!"
At this moment, a white-haired old man walked out from the crowd, sighed when he saw this, and then said: "I hope Your Majesty can forgive us for our nonsense this time!"
"Nonsense? This is not something that can be brushed aside by simply saying it's nonsense... old man!" Ying Xuan's eyes turned, feeling a little surprised.
He could tell at a glance that the old man had no cultivation and was just an ordinary citizen of the Qin Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Di Jun glanced at the other civilians, sensed them for a moment, and became even more silent.
Because these people... are all mortals without any cultivation.
"It seems that we really can't kill them all, otherwise this heinous karma and cause and effect may overturn the destiny of the Qin Dynasty in an instant!" Ying Xuan said secretly in his heart.
Then, he looked at the old man who had walked out and asked slowly, "Who ordered you to come here to see me?"
The words fell!
The civilians looked at each other, and then looked at the old man, obviously regarding him as their backbone.
It can be seen that this old man enjoys a high reputation among the common people.
This aroused Ying Xuan's curiosity. He looked at the old man with interest and saw him saying, "Your Majesty, there may be someone behind the scenes, but at least we are here voluntarily."
"This time, Mount Li collapsed, and all the work of more than a year was wasted. We were deceived and participated in it. We know that we have committed a serious sin, so we have no complaints about staying to rebuild Mount Li..."
The old man said this with a wry smile, and sighed, "But if you continue to impose more and more harsh taxes, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on, and we'll all die in Mount Li!"
When they were deeply touched by love, all the civilians couldn't help but be moved, with expressions of struggle and unwillingness on their faces.
Obviously, they were very determined to stop the car this time.
"Improve the taxation?"
Ying Xuan frowned, as if he had never issued such an order. With doubt, he turned to look at Wan Suifeng, the magistrate of Lishan County.
The latter was frightened by this sight and rushed forward to complain: "Your Majesty, I have never posted such a notice or announcement. Without Your Majesty's order, how dare I impose additional taxes and harsher measures at will?"
Hearing this, Ying Xuan raised his eyebrows, as if thinking about something.
"Your Majesty, it should be just a rumor. Otherwise, I, an old minister, would not have known the news so far." Meng Wu hesitated for a moment and said with a fist.
He had led troops to Mount Li to quell a rebellion before and had cleared the entire Mount Li without finding anything unusual.
At the same time, most of the spies in the imperial guards possessed Taoist magical powers such as the ability to hear the wind and see thousands of miles away. If there were any unusual movements, they would have known about it long ago.
Therefore, this civil uprising is most likely just a misunderstanding caused by rumors.
"Rumors... Humph, such a low-class method!"
Ying Xuan shook his head and finally reacted.
However, the commotion caused by these civilians did remind him of something.
"The public resentment and anger have accumulated to this point. If it is not properly handled, it will also be a major hidden danger."
Ying Xuan turned his gaze and looked at the group of civilians headed by the old man, and said slowly: "You can rest assured, I can promise you that I will never impose more taxes!"
"As for your labor service... after the reconstruction of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum is completed, it will be lifted!"
"When the time comes, you can go home to farm, or you can stay in Mount Li. It all depends on your wishes!"
"I and all the officials of the Qin Empire will never interfere with your decision!"
The words fell!
The civilians heaved a sigh of relief, and their faces showed expressions of relief. The old man in the lead couldn't help but nodded, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Obviously, although Ying Xuan made a promise, the fact that they stopped the car cannot be changed.
Therefore, the labor of the civilians was increased by another three months on the previous basis.
For ordinary mortals like them... this is like a bolt from the blue.
However, at this moment, most people were immersed in the promise made by Ying Xuan and had not yet reacted.
At this moment, Ying Xuan looked at the civilians with expressions of relief at having survived a disaster, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
He thought of a later incident where an emperor was building an imperial city. His ministers came up with an idea to have the craftsmen and laborers burn kilns and engrave their names on the bricks and stones produced, in order to stimulate the strong desire of the craftsmen and laborers.
To this end, the craftsmen and laborers worked hard, not only strengthening the city wall, but also lengthening the entire section of the wall.
Thinking of this, Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
Suddenly, he slowly said, "My fellow citizens, the collapse of Mount Li has caused your one-year labor to go to waste. Not only that, you are also charged with unwarranted crimes, and your labor time has been extended!"
"This is an act of rebellion by some unscrupulous people, and it even disturbed the sleeping Qin Shi Huangdi!"
"I am worried about this and am afraid that something similar will happen again. I also hope that after the reconstruction of Mount Li, it will be more solid than before and nothing like this will happen again!"
"Therefore, I have decided that in the process of rebuilding Mount Li, all bricks, stones, and wood used will be engraved with the names of the craftsmen and laborers who worked on them!"
"Let the entire Lishan and the Great Qin Dynasty remember your contributions!"
"Your names will also spread throughout the underworld as the First Emperor rests in peace!"
The words fell!
The civilians were greatly excited, and Meng Wu, Wang Ben and others who came with the emperor looked at Ying Xuan with confusion.
I never said this would happen before!
Moreover, would it not be a bit too grand to let the names of these laborers and craftsmen spread to the underworld along with the rest of the First Emperor?
What qualifications do these ordinary people have?
"Your Majesty, should we discuss this with Prime Minister Feng and other ministers?" Meng Yi couldn't help but speak.
This is a serious matter. If it is not handled properly, I am afraid the whole city will be in an uproar.
After all, Mount Li is the resting place of the First Emperor. What a solemn and dignified place!
How could we tolerate the vulgar names of these people being placed together with the mausoleum of the First Emperor?
However, Ying Xuan waved his hand and said calmly: "I am the Emperor of the Great Qin, and also the descendant of the First Emperor. Don't I have the right to make the decision?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yi was immediately speechless.
What you said... is indeed true.
No one is more capable of making the decision on this matter than Ying Xuan.
After all, he is the emperor of the Qin Dynasty and the descendant of Ying Zheng.
If it were someone else...even if the name was right, the words wouldn't flow!
……
at the same time.
In a secluded place billions of miles away, beneath the towering Jianmu tree.
Fuxi sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and concentrated, with countless birds and butterflies resting on his shoulders, creating a picturesque painting of nature.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and opened his eyes. All the birds on his body were startled and flew away.
But Fuxi was completely unaware. He looked in the direction of the Great Qin Dynasty and muttered to himself, "Gathering the destiny of the Nine Provinces with the people... What a grand gesture!"
"It's just that the current situation in Kyushu has already faintly exceeded the scope of the Earthly Immortal Realm..."
"I wonder how far you can go?"
