Bang~
Ying Yi stretched out his palm and smashed the blood mist of the middle-aged man with one palm.
The rich businessman who had just stood up fell to the ground with broken bones all over his body.
Ying Yi looked around with anger on his face.
"I thought you were greedy."
"But I didn't expect that you were greedy to this extent!"
The youth gradually faded away, and a man with a bright golden light, tall and strong, and sword-like eyes and eyebrows appeared in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
Everyone's eyes were bloodshot and their hearts were trembling.
They didn't expect that the young man who rescued the soldiers was actually the Great Qin Emperor--Ying Yi!
In an instant.
Everyone knelt on the ground, prostrating their foreheads on the ground, and bowed.
"Long live your majesty!"
"Long live your majesty!"
At this moment.
Several abandoned rich businessmen had pale faces and trembling mouths.
If it was someone else, even if the person who came today was Feng Wudao, they would also be prepared to jointly report him and use means to discredit Feng Wudao.
Who would have thought that Ying Yi would personally take action.
They were afraid, they were afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
But thinking of the importance that His Majesty attaches to merchants now, they couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope for survival.
"Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty, spare me, we have worked diligently for the Qin Dynasty and never dared to evade taxes. Please forgive us this time."
The rich businessman squirmed and kowtowed continuously.
They were betting on their importance.
The share of taxes paid by merchants every year accounts for the majority of the Qin Dynasty's treasury. They didn't believe that Ying Yi would do anything.
But the result shocked them.
Ying Yi had a hideous smile on his face, "You beasts."
"The conditions I gave you are already the best among the seven countries, but you are not only ungrateful, but you are also willing to die for paying only half of the taxes."
"I am even more looking forward to the death of these soldiers who shed blood and sweat."
Ying Yi smiled coldly, "If they hadn't fought for the Qin Dynasty and died on horseback, would you, a bunch of parasites and stupid pigs with fat brains, still be able to make money in the Qin Dynasty?"
"I was too kind to you before. From now on, I will take good care of you beasts."
"The ancestral precepts are correct, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, you are a bunch of lowly and inferior beasts who have no respect for the emperor and father, no heart for the Qin Dynasty, and can sell out the country for a small profit. I shouldn't give you privileges!"
"Night Patrol!"
Ying Yi shouted.
Several figures rushed out of the crowd and knelt in front of Ying Yi.
"Your Majesty!"
"Drag these beasts down and hang them at the east gate of the imperial capital. I want to let these merchants know that if they don't care about the Qin Empire and don't respect the soldiers, what awaits them is only my butcher knife!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Several members of the Night Watch trembled, and quickly tied up all the crying merchants and took them away.
As the group left.
There was a dead silence around.
The passerby who had just insulted the soldiers kept swallowing his saliva, worried that he would be punished by Ying Yi.
The rest of the people were dumbfounded.
Ying Yi was famous for his generosity towards merchants.
The most obvious example was when a group of merchants smuggled ironware two years ago and were stopped by a general who planned to execute them in the autumn.
But these merchants were afraid of death and took advantage of their unpreparedness to chop off their heads.
This incident was a hot topic in the Qin Dynasty at that time. Everyone thought that the merchants would die. Who knew that Ying Yi released them without charge because of their outstanding ability to make money, and also issued various decrees to protect their safety.
As for the generals who blocked the way, they were labeled as rebels and their nine clans were executed.
This incident was ridiculous at the time. Many people stood up to resist, but they were all suppressed one by one.
From that time on, the status of merchants soared straight up, and they could be absurdly compared with civil and military officials.
If Feng Wudao had not cooperated with the Aristocratic Academy, I am afraid that the court would be full of merchants today.
But they didn't expect that they thought that merchants would become the most important force in the Qin Dynasty, but they didn't expect that His Majesty would be fickle. Today, he actually killed several people in front of them and attacked other merchants.
The most important thing is that it seems that the invincible status of merchants... is about to end.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Seeing Ying Yi, Luo Qingwu trembled in disbelief.
She couldn't believe that it was him who rescued people just now, and she didn't believe that a person who valued money more than anything else would dig up his own roots and kill merchants.
These things were shocking her heart.
Now Ying Yi's style of doing things is completely different from that of his previous life, as if he were two different people.
"Miss Luo, we meet again."
Ying Yi smiled, restrained his brutality just now, as if the man just now was not him, paused and said in a deep voice: "Miss Luo, my Great Qin has a general like you who cares about the soldiers. It is a blessing for my Great Qin."
"Don't worry, the bad words and rumors you have suffered,I will clean it for you. "
Ying Yi was full of sincerity.
Those words just now were really hurtful to a woman.
Especially since he knew Luo Qingwu well, such misunderstanding made him feel heartbroken.
When he thought about how he had not only not stopped the rumor but also let it spread widely, he wanted to slap himself a few times.
Ying Yi... is he concerned about her?
Luo Qingwu's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and her eyes softened unconsciously when she looked at Ying Yi. A ripple was stirred in her heart.
She didn't even notice such a change.
But soon, her expression became cold again.
"Qingwu is a lowly person, so please don't bother your majesty. If your majesty has nothing to do, Qingwu will leave first. "
Luo Qingwu jumped on the horse and was about to rush to the military camp.
Wu Yang's injury had healed, and she had to go back to solve the battle formation problem.
But the next moment.
Ying Yi's figure quietly disappeared from the spot, and when he appeared again, he had already landed on the horse's back, with a big hand gently stroking the slender waist.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Luo Qingwu frowned, and a trace of disgust rose in her heart.
If she hadn't been defeated, she really wanted to slap the other party to death.
Ying Yi said in a flat tone, "My words are as good as gold. I just promised you to treat the wounded evacuated from the border. What, does Miss Luo want me to break my promise? "
Luo Qingwu opened her beautiful eyes slightly.
Just now, she was still sad for the injured soldiers.
Ying Yi is the emperor, how could he condescend to go to the military camp, but she didn't expect that he still remembered this matter.
Luo Qingwu was stunned and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, the military camp is dirty and messy, I am afraid it is difficult for your majesty to have a dragon body."
Ying Yi sneered and said loudly: "The Qin soldiers are tens of millions, all for Qin land, all for my Ying family, they are the foundation of the Qin, without them, there will be no Qin, and there will never be the emperor of my Ying Yi!"
"As long as they can live, let alone let me heal them personally, even if I disperse all the accumulation of the Qin Treasure Pavilion for thousands of years, I will never frown." "So, please take me to the military camp, Miss Luo, and I will heal them personally. "
Ying Yi's voice was heard widely.
Tens of thousands of Qin people could hear it clearly.
For a moment.
Tens of thousands of people trembled. They didn't expect Ying Yi to say such a thing.
The Qin army was once invincible because the emperor attached great importance to the soldiers and it was common for them to sleep with their comrades.
But now that Qin is stable, successive emperors no longer favor the soldiers. Instead, they are always on guard against them and often deduct weapons and food when distributing them.
Although this can prevent rebellion, every time the enemy raids, the Qin soldiers suffer heavy losses.
Ying Yi understands that this method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
What the ancestors said makes sense , attacking the heart is always the best.
Not only can it make the soldiers loyal to him, but it can also inspire their fighting spirit and make them have a sense of national identity.
The army of Dragon Country on Earth is invincible because the people have a strong sense of national identity and belonging, so they can always win in the face of countless disasters.
Three of the four ancient countries died, and only Dragon Country persisted for five thousand years.
In five thousand years, it has been glorious and declined, but it has never been assimilated or enslaved by foreign races. Now it is still rising rapidly and is still the overlord of the earth.
This is the goal that Ying Yi strives for.
