HCB Chapter 681 Your Majesty Is A Cruel Man
Chapter 681 Your Majesty Is A Cruel Man
There are not a few ministers who hold opposing opinions, and it is human nature for them to think so.
It was the right idea, the right judgment, that they would think so.
Ying Yu had already expected this, and he already had a corresponding method in his mind.
So Ying Yu issued an order, "From today onwards, the imperial meal can't exceed three dishes, and the Shangyi Bureau can't make clothes more than twice a month."
As soon as Ying Yu's order came out, all the ministers present were shocked. This kind of treatment was really too harsh for an emperor.
They thought that Ying Yu might do something beyond their expectations, but when Ying Yu actually gave the order, they realized that they had still underestimated Ying Yu, the emperor.
This new emperor is really a ruthless person, otherwise he would be very ruthless when doing things, and he would be ruthless to himself as well.
"This is just my own idea. As for how to do this, you can figure it out yourself."
Having said that, the emperor of a country, the person with the most power and status in the country has chosen to do so.
Those below, if anyone dares to exceed the emperor's treatment, isn't that just saying that he is better than the emperor?
If this is the case, there is no need for the emperor to punish him for his crimes, and his colleagues will squeeze him out.
So although Ying Yu didn't give an order, what would he want the ministers to do, after he had already stated his own standard, there was no need to say anything else. The ministers could only be below this standard, not above it.
The minister who understands, at this moment, already has a plan in mind.
They immediately understood Ying Yu's intentions.
This part of the ministers supported Ying Yu from the very beginning, so when Ying Yu made this decision, they immediately understood Ying Yu's intention.
This is to lead the people directly from top to bottom, and to make similar moves.
These shrewd ministers, they knew that the reason why Ying Yu wanted to do this was not to make the ministers follow him.
Even if all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty followed Ying Yu to do the same, how many officials could there be?
Ying Yu's real goal is the people of the world.
In the world of Great Qin, there are so many people. If each person can save ten Wen a day, the entire Great Qin will save money and food in one day, which is unimaginable.
Ying Yu has already made it clear that even if Da Qin wants to use troops against the world, it will be at least three years later.
If you save like this every day, after three years, the expenses that can be saved must be more than enough.
Today, the places where Daqin can open source have been used to the extreme.
Therefore, if you want to hoard capital, you can only go from the aspect of throttling.
The ministers who understand the world's major events are well aware of this matter, they are naturally smart people, and they know Ying Yu's personality.
He has always been the kind of person who says what he says, and since he has issued an order, in the future, it must be carried out to the end.
What happened at today's court meeting slowly spread among the people
First, the common people in Xianyang started a heated discussion about this matter.
Because they don't know at all, and they really can't figure it out, why in such a prosperous era, the emperor of the country still chooses to do this.
They are just ordinary people, although they don't understand the economic policies and political decisions of Daqin.
But they can see their lives, which are now very different.
They really can't figure it out, at such a time, what troubles can they still remember?
However, there are also "sensible" people among the people.
Some of these people really understand the situation of the country by themselves. Of course, a larger part of them are people specially sent by the state to the people.
They are responsible for explaining the deep meaning behind various things to the common people.
"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor ordered that his meals should not exceed three dishes a day. Why is that?"
"Now my Daqin has plenty of money, why should His Majesty be like this?"
"It is impossible for me, Daqin, to be short of money now. Your Majesty must have other deep meanings in doing so."
"Other meanings? I can't figure it out. If His Majesty needs money, where can I get it?"
At this moment, among the crowd, a person wearing a scarf came out.
"In my opinion, it must be that my Great Qin needs a lot of money somewhere in the future, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to increase the taxes on us and the common people, so he will do this!"
What this person said aroused discussion and the attention of the common people.
"Now that I am Great Qin, the army is strong and the horses are strong. Even the Maurya Dynasty has surrendered without a fight. How can there be any need for money?"
"What about Rome and Carthage? And the endless sea?"
The man said again that even ordinary people would understand, because of Ying Yu's popularity, even the most ordinary Daqin people already knew what the world was like.
It turned out that the emperor had already been making preparations for territories outside the Great Qin Dynasty.
"Your Majesty is still able to do this, so how can we not contribute our own strength? I want to learn from Your Majesty."
Among the crowd, such voices began to ring out, because Ying Yu's popularity among the people far exceeded what he had imagined.
Almost all of Daqin's benevolent government is implemented by Ying Yu, so the people all over the world are grateful for Ying Yu's kindness.
Therefore, under Ying Yu's leadership, Daqin's frugal spirit started from Xianyang and rolled down the whole city.
..........
Three months later, in the Great Qin, almost every corner has been implementing the frugal style led by Ying Yu.
For ordinary people, this is actually not a difficult thing.
Because the country didn't force them how to do it, they all spontaneously participated in the action of following Ying Yu.
At this moment, Daqin is developing extremely rapidly, so it is in the lives of a group of old people.
They have experienced the time when they were still fighting, experienced the time when they had no food, and the time when their belly clothes were not warmed up.
It also went through the time when Daqin was just established, when the country really had nothing.
The remnants of the Six Kingdoms are active everywhere, and the lives of ordinary people are not stable.
At that time, these old people only asked for food and clothing, and having a place to shelter from wind and rain at night was already the greatest happiness in life.
Living up to now under the life led by Da Qin, they have already lived a rich life that they could not even imagine in the past.
Nowadays, following the frugality of His Majesty the Emperor of Qin Dynasty, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than reducing one dish.
For them, this is no suffering at all.
Of course, there are also people in the new era who have not experienced the cruelty and pain of the previous era.
When they were just born, they enjoyed the high-quality life of Daqin today.
So for them, frugality is also extremely difficult to adapt to.
Naturally, there are also a group of people. Although they said that they were used to hard times in the early years, but in the later period when the Great Qin developed well, they finally managed to turn simplicity into luxury. At this moment, it is more difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Of course, there are not many of these people.
