"This group of people from the sect is actually so rich. How much money and anointing must be plundered!"

In the court, looking at the data sent from Anxi County, Shi Teng, the Minister of Household Affairs, first had a hint of joy on his face, and then a hint of anger.

A nine-digit amount of money, even if Great Qin is now wealthy, requires several months of taxation. For the original Seleucid region, whose economy is far inferior to that of Great Qin itself, it is definitely not enough to say that it is richer than the national treasury.

Pass.

However, when the Seleucid capital of Antioch was invaded by the Romans, the royal family launched a fund-raising campaign, and this group of sectarians still cried out for poverty, which really made Nesten unable to bear it.

No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince wants to target this group of sect members, they are really a cancer among cancers.

"The terrible thing about faith is that it can completely manipulate the psychology of believers, making believers willingly give everything they have in the name of worshiping gods, without realizing at all that they have been deceived."

"There is more than just money such as gold, silver and fields. Some believers, after being fooled by the sect, even offer their wives and daughters as gifts to the so-called gods. In fact, their wives and daughters are reduced to

For the playthings of those sect leaders, I live a life where I can neither survive nor die."

"People from these sects deserve to die!"

Meng Yi snorted coldly.

Meng Yi has always been very particular about eradicating these evildoers, and what they have done has offended the Qin Shangqing's bottom line.

"But for me, Da Qin, it is actually a good thing."

"The eradication of these sects has not only given Daqin a very high reputation in the local area, but the receipt of this large amount of funds has also accelerated the construction of several new counties and made the prospects brighter."

"The Xinzhou County Chief Officer who is about to take office will be much more comfortable in performing his duties."

Xiao He saw that the atmosphere in the court was getting more and more serious, and immediately changed the subject.

"It's true. After a big break, it will be easier to achieve great governance. Once the disaster is eliminated, it will be easier to develop."

Feng Jie also echoed: "The situation in Seleucus is so serious, I'm afraid the situation in Rome and Carthage will not be much better."

"What you all said is reasonable. There are indeed pros and cons in this matter."

Ying Zheng glanced at the court and said, "Prince, what do you think?

"The so-called sect is nothing more than a group of magicians who use the name of God to plunder profits."

"In fact, according to this interrogation, even the top leaders of the sect themselves do not believe in those so-called oracles." ωωw.

"But unfortunately, there are always foolish men and women who will believe these tricks, and it is impossible to guard against them."

"Therefore, the control of the sect must not be relaxed at all times, and it must be completely under the supervision of the imperial court."

"More detailed laws must be formulated so that local officials can follow the law when dealing with the matter. This will naturally lead to twice the result with half the effort."

"Also, the publicity in this regard must be implemented in place and must be firmly grasped."

Ying Yu thought for a moment and said.

The issue of sects, in the final analysis, is still a matter of control. Once the right to speak is not in the hands of the government and the people are fooled by sects, big problems will arise.

But if the government is strong enough, communicates directly with the people, and handles problems in a timely manner, these magicians will not be able to cause big troubles.

To put it bluntly, they are just a group of liars who bully the weak and fear the strong.

"With your words, I feel at ease."

"By the way, how is the renovation of my Zulong? The Western Inspection cannot be delayed any longer."

Ying Zheng smiled.

To put it bluntly, the problem of newly incorporated territories is that they are too far away from Xianyang and have insufficient control. Ying Zheng, the first emperor of Qin, personally inspected it, which definitely played a great role in stabilizing people's hearts and stabilizing rule.

For Ying Zheng, touring these thousands of miles of land is also a very fulfilling thing.

"Originally, it was almost completed, but there happened to be a breakthrough in another key research project in the Engineering Academy, so you may have to wait for a while before it needs to be remodeled."

Ying Yu opened his mouth and answered.

"Has there been a breakthrough in a key research project?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately became interested.

It is definitely unusual for Ying Yu to regard it as a key project and re-renovate the Zulong that has already been renovated.

"It's a sharp weapon for defeating enemies on the battlefield. It's too complicated to be specific. Father, you can see it for yourself and you will know."

"If you are interested, you can also go together."

Ying Yu replied with a smile.

"The enemy-destroying weapon, could it be that the gunpowder you mentioned before has been improved?"

Ying Zheng recalled it, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

The fireworks show held on the First Emperor's birthday was still fresh in his memory. The astonishing momentum would definitely have a huge effect if it appeared on the battlefield.

Many military generals proposed using these fireworks for military use at that time.

However, Ying Yu rejected this request at the time and claimed that the fireworks were just incidental items and that gunpowder weapons that were actually used to kill enemies on the battlefield were still under development.

And the effect will be far beyond everyone’s imagination.

"Such a divine weapon actually has results?"

Wang Ben and others were also surprised.

The reason why Great Qin was able to win consecutive battles was not only due to its high morale, but also the various new weapons developed by Ying Yu.

Without the three artifacts of horse warfare, Da Qin's cavalry would not be able to surpass the prairie people who grew up on horseback in combat power and achieve counter-attack on the prairie.

The powerful yet very light repeating crossbow that appeared later made the Qin cavalry even more powerful.

Equipment such as Mingguang Armor, Hengdao, and Masha doubled the combat power of Great Qin's soldiers.

The emergence of catapults and super sea-going ships also allowed Da Qin to conquer the sea for the first time, expand its boundless sea territory, and open up unlimited golden channels for sea trade.

All these things impressed the generals deeply.

As for gunpowder weapons, although everyone doesn't know much about them, you only need to know that gunpowder is an excellent fire starter and has amazing momentum, and you can look forward to it.

"How specific it is, you can experience it for yourself later!"

Ying Yu smiled slightly.

"It just so happens that the court meeting is almost over, so let's go to the Engineering Academy to take a look!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and a group of important officials from the imperial court, led by Ying Yu, drove all the way to the Engineering Academy test site in a valley outside Xianyang City, which was heavily guarded by the imperial guards.
Chapter completed!
