Chapter 384 Money Too Much to Spend
Within Xianyang City, due to Tang Yu's actions, an unusually bizarre scene unfolded throughout the officialdom.
Many businessmen who tried to curry favor with their former subordinates found that the officials who had once asked for favors and money from them were now incredibly obedient.
They wouldn't even say a word when looking at themselves; instead, their eyes were filled with fear.
When they presented all the gold and silver they had painstakingly saved up over half a day, the official who usually exploited them actually obediently pushed it back.
Then he said...
"I will not accept this money again in the future."
"I will definitely find a way to return the money I took from you before."
The businessman looked puzzled after hearing this.
He even thought the other party was just being polite, so he quickly spoke seriously and expressed his opinion.
"Sir, isn't this what we agreed on before?"
"I'll give you silver, sir, and you'll give me the money..."
"Shut up, stop talking nonsense!"
This official, who was usually extremely greedy and lustful, looked around with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
He looked at it for a while before slowly speaking.
"Shut up, you can't keep talking nonsense like that."
"This never happened, you..."
"If you want to do business, do it properly, and I will definitely support you."
And so, the merchant scratched his head, looking puzzled, and walked back.
This scene wasn't limited to this official.
Throughout the Qin state, among the many corrupt officials, each of them had embezzled some money to varying degrees.
Furthermore, he also commits crimes on a regular basis.
However, they felt that as nobles, Tang Yu would certainly not do anything to them in the end.
But now, ever since Tang Yu made a show of force and slaughtered the two powerful families, the Li and Zhao, their eyes have suddenly become clear.
He went around offering condolences to all the people he had offended in the past.
Then he donated all his money.
In an instant, the already abundant treasury of the Qin state became even richer.
Looking at the money in the account, Tang Yu surprisingly had a rare thought: what use is this money to me?
"Mr. Tang, this..."
"The entire Qin Dynasty can actually scrape together ten billion taels of gold!"
"These corrupt officials deserve to die!"
Seeing Ying Zheng's furious expression, Tang Yu felt somewhat helpless.
Don't let yourself become Zhu Yuanzhang instead of Ying Zheng.
After all, seeing Ying Zheng's angry expression, he realized that he was indeed no different from Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Skinning and temporary execution are considered lenient punishments.
Tang Yu shook his head at this moment, and then said.
"Your Majesty, it's a good thing that this official is a little greedy."
"After all, he worked hard for so many years and finally became an official."
"There must be some privileges and places where they can reap benefits."
"Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't be happy."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression softened, and he nodded.
He naturally understood this principle as well.
However, the next moment, when Tang Yu raised a certain question first, he took the initiative to speak.
"But they may be greedy, but they are greedy."
"If they attempt to shake the foundations of my Qin state and disrupt the lives of my Qin people..."
"Then I will make sure they die without a burial place."
Now that Ying Zheng has fully realized how important the people are, he has completely transformed into the best friend and the best ruler of the common people.
His prestige in the Qin state, and even throughout the entire Qin Dynasty, continued to rise.
Not only the original Qin state, but even the six states he ruled saw his reputation steadily rise.
Even in many regions, people who originally hated Ying Zheng have now been able to view him in a more normal light.
In some regions where there was no inherent dissatisfaction with Ying Zheng, some even felt that Ying Zheng's conquest of the six states was too slow.
If Ying Zheng had arrived earlier, wouldn't I have been freed?
When Ying Zheng arrived, Tang Yu followed suit.
When Qin Shi Huang arrived, the people were saved.
Ying Zheng did only three things here.
fair!
fair!
That's still the best of the best!
Everything was done in accordance with the laws of the Qin state.
Regardless of rank or status, nobles or officials alike were all punished according to the law if they committed a crime.
As a result, even the people of the former Chu state, who were far away in Jiangdong, were affected.
However, Xiang Yu has not yet received this devastating news.
He was still moving through the dense forest, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Hmph."
This is a huge wild boar, judging by its panting and roaring sounds.
However, unlike the reckless collisions that ordinary people encounter, it is moving backward.
It was panting heavily, which seemed to suggest it had human qualities.
A deep sense of fear flashed in his eyes.
The wild boar was just going to destroy some crops as usual, killing two people casually.
After eating some more fruits, vegetables, and human flesh, they returned to the mountain to sleep.
Unexpectedly, he encountered this monster as soon as he came down.
Looking at the people who were as thin as the group of monkeys he had casually killed.
As a result, the strength, speed, and intensity of the attack all greatly alarmed the nearly 600-pound wild boar.
After being slashed in the back by Xiang Yu's sword, he could only desperately run towards his lair.
Behind him, Xiang Yu, relying on his own two legs, engaged in a chase with the wild boar through the jungle.
In the pitch-black night, the bright moon shines over the sky.
A flash of silver light was instantly reflected by the moonlight.
next moment.
"brush!"
A sharp longsword reflected a full moon in the sky!
After a flash of silver light, the wild boar that was running away instantly collapsed to the ground.
And on its neck, there was a huge wound that was constantly bleeding.
At this moment, Xiang Yu stepped out from beside him and came to the carcass of the wild boar.
Looking at the blood-stained longsword beside him, he nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems that even though so much time has passed, my swordsmanship has not become rusty."
"This is the eighth wild boar I've caught."
"It seems like I'll be number one in no time!"
"Hahahaha, victory belongs to me!"
It was only then that Xiang Yu realized that he was only unable to defeat Tang Yu, not that he was unable to defeat anyone else.
Even the wild boar, known as the bully of the mountain village, was nothing more than a defeated foe in front of him.
You are still very strong, so there's no need to be discouraged.
After hoisting the enormous wild boar, Xiang Yu returned to Xianyang.
