Chapter 681 Your Majesty is a Ruthless Man(1/2)
There are many ministers who hold objections, and it is human nature for them to think so.
It is a correct idea and correct judgment for them to 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 on, the royal meal cannot exceed three dishes, and the clothing department cannot 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 issued the order, they realized that they had underestimated the emperor.
This new emperor is really a ruthless person, otherwise he would be ruthless when doing things, and he would also be ruthless towards himself.
"This is just my own opinion. As for what this person does, you can decide for yourself."
Having said that, the emperor of a country, the person with the most power and status in the country, has chosen this.
If any of the people below dare to exceed the emperor's treatment, wouldn't that mean that they are better than the emperor?
If that were the case, there would be no need for the emperor to punish him, and his colleagues would exclude him and make him unable to stay any longer.
Therefore, although Ying Yu did not issue an order, what he wanted the ministers to do, after he had already stated his own standards, there was no need to say more about the rest. The ministers could only stay below this standard, not above it.
The minister who understands, at this moment, already has a plan in mind.
They knew immediately what Ying Yu's intentions were.
This group of ministers had supported Ying Yu from the beginning, so when Ying Yu made this decision, they understood Ying Yu's intention immediately.
This is to directly lead the people from top to bottom and make similar actions.
These shrewd ministers knew that the reason why Ying Yu did this was not to get the ministers to follow him.
Even if all the ministers in the dynasty followed Ying Yu's example, how many would be officials?
Ying Yu's real purpose is the people of the world.
There are so many people in the Qin Dynasty. If each person can save ten cents a day, the money and food saved by the entire Qin Dynasty in that day is simply unimaginable.
Ying Yu has already made it clear that even if Great Qin wants to use troops against the world, it will be at least three years later.
If you save like this every day, the expenses that can be saved in three years will definitely be more than enough.
Nowadays, Daqin has used all the places where it can be open sourced to the extreme.
Therefore, if you want to hoard capital, you can only reduce expenditures.
The ministers who understand the world's major events all know this matter well. They are naturally smart people, and they know Ying Yu's personality.
He has always been the kind of person who sticks to his word. Now that he has issued an order, he will definitely implement it to the end in the future.
What happened at today's court meeting slowly spread among the people.
First, the people in Xianyang started a heated discussion about this matter.
Because they don't know at all, and they really can't figure out why in such a prosperous era, the emperor of the country would choose to do this.
They are just ordinary people, although they do not understand the economic policies and political decisions of Qin Dynasty.
But they can see that their lives have changed drastically.
They really couldn't figure out what worries they could have at a time like this.
However, there are also "sensible" people among the people.
Some of these people truly understand the country's situation on their own, and of course, a larger part of them are people specially sent to the people by the state.
They are responsible for explaining the underlying meanings to the common people.
"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor issued a decree that his meals should not exceed three dishes per day. Why is this?"
"Now that Daqin has plenty of money, why does His Majesty, the Emperor, need to do this?"
"It is impossible for our country, Da Qin, to be short of money now. Your Majesty must have some other deep meaning in doing this."
"Any other meaning? I just can't figure it out. If His Majesty the Emperor needs money, where can't he get it?"
At this moment, among the crowd, a man wearing a turban came out.
"In my opinion, there must be a place where our country in Great Qin will need a lot of money in the future, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to increase the taxes on our people, so that's why he did this!"
What this man said aroused discussion and attracted the attention of the people.
"Now that we, the Qin Dynasty, have strong troops and horses, even the Mauryan Dynasty surrendered without a fight, how can we still need money?"
"What about Rome and Carthage? And the endless sea?"
The man said again that even ordinary people understood. Because of Ying Yu's popularity, even the most ordinary people in Da Qin already knew what this world was like.
It turns out that the emperor had already made preparations for territories outside of Da Qin.
"His Majesty the Emperor can do this, so how can we not do our part? I also want to learn from His Majesty."
Among the crowd, such voices began to ring out, because Ying Yu's popularity among the people far exceeded what he imagined.
Almost all of Da Qin's benevolent policies were implemented by Ying Yu, so people all over the world are grateful for Ying Yu's goodness.ωωw.Bǐqυgétν.℃ǒM
Therefore, under the leadership of Ying Yu, the frugal style of Great Qin began in Xianyang and spread throughout the country.
...........
Three months later, almost every corner of Da Qin was implementing the frugal style led by Ying Yu.
For ordinary people, this is actually not a difficult matter.
Because the state did not force them to do what they should do, they all spontaneously participated in following Ying Yu's actions.
At this moment, Great Qin is developing extremely rapidly, so in the lives of a group of old people.
They experienced the time when there was still a scuffle, the time when they had no food and no clothes to keep them warm.
I also experienced the time when the Qin Dynasty was just established. At that time, 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, all these old people wanted was food, clothing, and a place to shelter from the wind and rain at night, which was the greatest happiness in life.
Now, under the guidance of Da Qin, they have lived a life of prosperity that they could not even imagine before.
Nowadays, following the frugal style of His Majesty the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, in the final analysis, it is just cutting out one dish.
To 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 that Daqin has now.
Therefore, frugality is also extremely difficult for them to adapt to.
Naturally, there are also a group of people. Although they were used to living a hard life in the early years, but in the later period when the Qin Dynasty developed well, they finally managed to move from simplicity to luxury. Now, it is more difficult to change from luxury to frugality.
Of course, there are not many of these people.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

content.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my own body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed beside the bed, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
