Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 126 Daqin's Biggest Wall Pusher! (seeking subscription)

Qin Luoheng's eyelids twitched.

He didn't expect that he would be caught by his own casual remarks.

Qin Luoheng said without changing his face:

"I heard."

"When I was wandering outside, I heard this saying."

"At first I thought it was just a folk joke, but I never thought that the eldest son would bring this to the court, so I was a little surprised for a while."

Ying Zheng frowned.

He felt that Qin Luoheng was lying.

But it couldn't be argued for a while.

He puzzled and said:

"Why are you surprised?"

"And what's wrong with Fusu's idea?"

Qin Luoheng shook his head and said:

"There's nothing wrong with that idea."

"The problem lies with the eldest son."

"In my opinion, the eldest son should not and cannot spread this word."

"Why?" Ying Zheng was puzzled.

Qin Luoheng said in a concentrated voice: "Because he is the eldest son of Great Qin!"

"What's the reason?" Ying Zheng frowned and said, "Since he is the eldest son of the Great Qin, he should offer advice to the Great Qin. Why not present this idea to the court?"

Qin Luoheng said:

"The meaning is different."

"The eldest son is Daqin's best chance right now."

Speaking of which.

Qin Luoheng shut up knowingly.

Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng, and said indifferently: "Fusu is indeed the son of Qin who has the best chance of becoming the crown prince, but what does it have to do with this matter?"

Qin Luoheng said: "Does the official know who I heard this from?"

"who?"

"The aristocratic families and powerful people in the local area!" Qin Luoheng said in a deep voice, "Now the chief official understands why I am surprised, right?"

"The eldest son has a special status and has countless fans in the court."

"Once he mentions it, there will be a large number of officials following him. At that time, hundreds of officials in the court will respond. If you don't think about it, this policy will be easily implemented."

"The eldest son shouldn't have brought it up."

Ying Zheng slightly forehead.

He understood Qin Luoheng's words.

Fusu is the eldest son and is very influential in the court. Before the matter is completely clear, he should not take the initiative to express his views, otherwise it will easily affect the court's judgment on policies.

Ying Zheng smiled and said:

"You think well."

"But how could Shihuang be affected by these things?"

"Furthermore."

"Fusu is not the only one who mentioned this policy, and many ministers also mentioned it. The First Emperor will weigh the pros and cons, and will not make a decision so lightly."

Qin Luoheng shook his head and said:

"The official misunderstood me."

"What I mean is that not only can the eldest son not mention it, but he should take the lead in opposing this policy."

"Why?" Ying Zheng frowned.

"Is there anything wrong with this policy?"

"At present, land mergers are serious in Shandong counties and counties. If it is not managed, it may cause serious troubles. Making the head of Guizhou from the land can indeed reduce the burden on the head of Guizhou. Why do you want to support Su to oppose it?"

Qin Luoheng said in a deep voice, "Is this also the chief official's idea?"

Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Qin Luoheng said softly:

"I know what you guys think."

"You are trying to make Qianshou self-report the number of fields by himself, so that the government can re-register and pay taxes based on the actual number of fields in the future. This seems to be able to reduce the burden on Guishou."

"But the official overlooked one thing."

"After this decree is passed, it gives legal principles to annex land!"

"Perhaps the chief officials will think that the land system in the Great Qin Dynasty has not changed, so how can we change the legal principles? In fact, it is not the case. Now the locality seems to have serious land annexation, but in fact it is superficial, because the land still belongs to those heads of Guizhou in name. "

"But the edict of 'letting the head of Guizhou from Shitian' go away."

"The field will change hands immediately!"

"The local aristocratic families and tyrants took the fields they occupied and successfully took them as their own without any effort. They did have to pay more taxes, but the land really fell into their names."

"Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem to be a problem."

"The tax collected by the imperial court does not decrease every year, and the heads of Guizhou pay less tax, and there are official lands in the local area, so they can directly let the heads of Guizhou to plant official land, and the government collects taxes as usual, and there is no exploitation of aristocratic families and powerful people in the middle. .”

"But it's impossible!"

"A large part of the reason why local land annexation is serious is that officials in various counties and counties in Shandong colluded with local forces. This was caused by their joint efforts."

"Decree."

"Perhaps it will be as the court wishes in the initial stage."

"Hello from all directions."

"But over time, officials will develop ideas."

"The reason why there are so many official lands now is that the land belongs to the imperial court, and they don't dare to take the initiative to seize the official land, but with the edict of 'let the head of Guizhou come from the real land', the powerful clans got the land so easily, How could they be careless?"

"There is no land in the head of Guizhou."

"The government will definitely lend the official land to Qianshou for rent."

"But can these official lands really get into the hands of these Guizhou chiefs?"

"I don't think so!"

"Officials can find an excuse to lease the land to their relatives, and then use a small amount of land to deal with Guishou. In the end, the official land becomes the private land of local officials. Guisou, who lost his land, can only continue to degenerate in order to make a living. Farming for servants."

"But at this time, they even lost their nominal land."

"Their year's harvest depends entirely on the face of the local tyrants and the aristocrats. If the harvest is not good that year, or if there is a natural or man-made disaster, I am afraid they will have to sell their wives and children to survive. When they can't survive that day, they will definitely die. Rise up."

"When."

"The world is in chaos!"

"There has never been a policy that makes everyone happy in this world, and there will never be one. When a policy is issued, one party's interests are bound to be damaged. The policy of 'making the head of Guizhou from the real land' has always been the victim of the bottom line of Guizhou and the court. .”

"The situation in Qianshou will only become more and more difficult."

"As a result, the official land of the imperial court has become a private land."

"If things go on like this, the official land will only become less and less, and the amount of tax collected by the imperial court will decrease year by year. In order to fill the gap in finance, the imperial court will only increase the tax and increase layer by layer. Those who suffer are still Local Qianshou."

"at last."

"They are against the imperial court!"

Ying Zheng looked solemn.

It never occurred to him that Qin Luoheng would be able to make the stakes of 'bringing the head of Guizhou from the real land' so clear.

It's just that he really can't accept it.

He can understand Fusu.

After all, Fusu hadn't taken over a lot of government affairs, so it was understandable that he had a one-sided understanding of government orders.

But what about courtiers?

Didn't they really notice that there was a problem?
Ying Zheng's face was extremely ugly.

He felt that he had been greatly deceived!
Ying Zheng had a sullen face.

asked:

"You, a historian, can see these things, but can't those courtiers see them? Why didn't any of them present an objection memorial?"

"Could it be that they want to oppose?!"

Qin Luoheng was also taken aback by Ying Zheng's words.

Is Qin Changli too out of touch?

Can this think of rebellion?

He said:
"Sir, this is too serious."

"They may not dare to rebel, but they must have selfish motives."

"With the ability of the Great Qin courtiers, it is impossible to see the problem. They either pretended not to know, or chose not to talk about it."

"The reason is actually quite simple."

"The zeal of a gentleman will decline in the third life, and be cut off in the fifth life."

"Da Qin's land system is public ownership, which also means that all the wealth and honor they have will be taken back by the emperor one day. Their actions are not just for themselves, but more for the family. They want their family last as long as possible.”

"They know there's something wrong with the policy."

"But for the sake of the family, they either choose to stand on the sidelines, or they can only join forces. The emperor asked Shi Huang to implement this policy."

"This is also the reason why I am surprised that the eldest son went to Shu."

"This policy is obviously not conducive to the imperial court. The eldest son's dismissal will undoubtedly make the already somewhat biased balance even more unfavorable to the imperial court."

"and."

"This policy seems to benefit local aristocratic families and powerful people."

"But the ministers in the court obviously have more power. If they get involved, the benefits they can reap will be even more astonishing, and the harm to the court will be even greater."

"But the eldest son didn't realize it."

"This"

Ying Zheng's face was as gloomy as water.

scolded:
"He's got a fart's acuity!"

"Following those Confucian scholars all day long to anger the first emperor, this time was obviously taken advantage of by those courtiers with two hearts, and they still yelled happily in the end."

"Sooner or later, I will be pissed off by him!"

Ying Zheng was furious, gasped for breath, and coughed violently from behind.

see.

Qin Luoheng hurried over to pat Ying Zheng on the back.

Speechless:
"The eldest son is incompetent, what does it have to do with you?"

"What are you sulking about here?"

"If you make your body angry, it's really not worth the candle."

"Moreover."

"What do you know about this?"

"All the ministers of the court suggested to carry it out. You can't bring it back to heaven alone, and the first emperor may not be able to see the advantages and disadvantages. After all, the first emperor, like the courtiers, has been far away from the place for too long. They don't understand the current situation of the place at all, let alone Let’s talk about prescribing the right medicine.”

"There is no solution to this right now!"

Speaking of which.

Qin Luoheng also sighed.

He thought of Emperor Wen of Han in history.

In his later years, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty once asked the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty why he had done so many things for the world, amnesty the world, lighten the taxation, abolish continuous sitting, corporal punishment, etc., but why the life of the common people is not good, but they still treat me Complaints abound, why is this?
But none of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty answered.

Don't they know?
No.

But unwilling to say.

They are all instant gainers!
The problems that Daqin is facing now are almost the same as those faced by Emperor Hanwen. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty know the problem, but no one will take the initiative to solve it.

How could they go and destroy their own wealth?

But Qin and Han are different.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, neither of them liked to toss, so the Han Dynasty was able to accumulate strength and extend the country, while Qin Shihuang liked to toss.

Historically, Qin Shihuang has been making big moves since he made the head of Guizhou from Shitian.

Expedition to the Huns in the north, taking Baiyue in the south, building the Great Wall, and patrolling the east and north many times. All these are not without reason. They are all to deter the world and stabilize the interior.

But the more actions Qin Shihuang made, the more complaints the leader of the world became.

His actions cost money, but where does the money come from?
Qianshou! ! !

However, "making the heads of Guizhou from real fields" caused the heads of Guizhou to completely lose their fields and become servants, and the official land became the private fields of corrupt officials. If the scale is increased layer by layer, it is these heads of Guizhou who suffer.

In the case of dwindling finances, the more Qin Shihuang's actions, the more laborious and costly the people, and the more unsettled the bottom of Guizhou, the more unsettled the bottom, the more Qin Shihuang wanted the bottom to be peaceful, and the more actions he took. It's a vicious circle.

Until the rain in Daze Township!
immediately.

Qin Luoheng found it ironic.

The beginning of all the problems in Daqin came from the advice of the eldest son Fusu.

This eldest son who was highly expected by the people, and even the first choice of Fu Qin, the crown prince of later generations, seemed to be the biggest pusher in the Great Qin Dynasty.

Not exactly.

This is still embarrassing.
