The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si with interest, his meaning was unclear.

He didn't expect that Zhao Si was actually compassionate deep down in his heart.

"I don't think it's appropriate to do evil to the small people and do good to the big people." Zhao Si said.

"The price of official salt is reflected in taxes, so private salt is rampant and difficult to control, especially in the old areas of the Six Kingdoms." Zhao Si opened his mouth and repeated what he said to the First Emperor yesterday.

"What I want to say is not to crack down on illegal salt, but to ask, who is selling illegal salt, who is competing for profits from Qin, and who can compete for profits from the people?"

In fact, except for a few targeted nobles, the Qin State did not purge the nobles of the six countries, nor did it deprive them of their titles and wealth, but it only imposed certain restrictions on weapons and equipment.

The Qin Law stipulates that the first prince of New Guizhou and above can carry no more than three swords. Those who carry swords for public officials and officials cannot carry more than two swords. Those below the official level can carry no more than one sword. They are not allowed to carry other soldiers.

, those who passed the order are discussed in terms of the new Guizhou head carrying military orders. (From the "New Guizhou head holding military orders" in the Qin bamboo slips collected by Yuelu Academy)

What is the new head of Guizhou? It is the new aristocracy that conquered the six countries.

Gongcheng, Gongdafu, and official officials are all high nobles!

After the First Emperor unified the world, he did not take the "revolutionary measures" imagined by some people to "deprive" the "old aristocrats of the six countries", but instead recognized the aristocratic status of the "new head of Guizhou" in the new dynasty.

This also explains why the Xiang family was able to quickly recruit 3,000 soldiers from Jiangdong at the beginning of the uprising, and why it still had extensive wealth, power and status in the local area.

Even the governance of Da Qin relies on them...

This is what Zhao Si wants to ask.

Who! Who is obstructing the Qin Dynasty from traveling in the same way, driving in the same track, writing in the same text, and who is misinterpreting the laws of the Qin Dynasty and demonizing the laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's so-called beheading if they miss the deadline has been proven to be false according to the Qin bamboo slips of Sleeping Tiger Land.

So why did the servants who followed Chen Sheng and Wu Guang believe that who was destroying the image of Da Qin?

Who is selling illegal salt? Who is producing illegal salt?

In other words, who has the ability to do these things?

"Who is serving? Who is guarding the border, who is collecting food, who is distorting the laws of Qin, and who is selling private salt? Who is smearing the Qin Dynasty and discrediting His Majesty?"

Since ancient times?

Is it right to compromise with the aristocratic class since ancient times?

The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si with interest, with a playful smile on his face.

Li Si just wanted to speak, but was stopped by the First Emperor.

"Lower the price... The new salt price will be re-drawn by Meng Yi and Li Si."

The First Emperor ended the conversation.

Well... Zhao Si can't let Zhao Si say the rest in public.
