What should I do if I am beheaded by the First Emperor at the beginning?

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke with disgust: "Did you think of this when you issued the ID card?"

Chen Ke shook his head slightly, and under Ying Zheng's slightly surprised expression, he said calmly: "In fact, it's not just this, identity proof has many other functions."

"It can be said that in the past few years, all the systems and new inventions I have proposed are not as useful as this one."

"The identification system is still only available to a certain extent, but when it develops in the future, identification, or a simple identification, is a must for everyone."

"Without a guide, you may still be able to survive in the Great Qin in the past, but without an ID card, you will definitely not be able to live in the Great Qin today."

Ying Zheng didn't feel that what Chen Ke said was alarmist, after all, he could more and more feel the role of identification.

Therefore, he also said with emotion: "So, do you want to update the identity certificate from generation to generation?"

Chen Ke nodded: "Not bad."

Li Si also interjected at this time: "Actually, the identity certificate has a certain time limit and has another function. It can play the role of a census. It is no longer necessary to conduct a census at certain times as in previous years."

"After the system of applying for land based on population and household registration was introduced, I was very worried that someone would die, but I didn't report it or send a funeral because of the land."

"However, the current identification system that changes every three years can guarantee that even if those people can occupy the land, they will not be able to hold it for too long."

"At most three years."

"The court can still wait for these three years."

Speaking of this, Li Si's voice also contained a little pity: "The loss of a labor force is not a good thing for the heads of Guizhou."

"So the maximum of three years can be regarded as a buffer period for them."

"It's a potential rule."

Chen Ke also said with a smile: "And the three-year buffer period actually has another function, that is, for the land, the Guizhou chiefs will find another person to replace the land."

"Like having children."

Chen Ke smiled, but his voice was full of playfulness and mischief: "The current population of Daqin is still too small."

"Whether it is Tianshan Prefecture or Beihai Prefecture, or the Baiyue land that is about to be conquered, or the regions that will be conquered in the future, they all need a large population."

"What if there is no population? It can only encourage people to have children,"

"What's the best way to encourage people to have children?"

"It is not to persecute them with exorbitant taxes, nor to persecute them with endless pressure, but to think from their standpoint and think about solutions to problems."

"For example, the three-year buffer period plus the new field system."

"Bringing a population can get the right to use a piece of land, which in itself will encourage people to have children, because there are real benefits hanging in front of them."

"And the three-year buffer period is to force them to have children with a little pressure. After all, people may not work hard for what they don't get, but they will definitely work hard for what they don't want to lose."

Fusu sat on the side, watching Chen Ke talking eloquently, with a look of helplessness on his face.

He didn't expect that it was just a field system and identity certification system, and his teacher could think so far away, and even connect these things together.

And the final purpose turned out to be such a very important thing, but it seems to have nothing to do with these two systems.
Even Ying Zheng and Li Si felt a little moved when they heard Chen Ke's words.

Although they also thought of this, they still felt that Chen Ke's way of thinking was really terrible, and it was like taking a step to see a hundred steps.

Li Si even said with emotion: "I said, Chen Ke, you've put so much effort into it, aren't you afraid that Huafa will be born prematurely?"

Chen Ke touched her hair subconsciously, and said with a smile, "Hua Fa is premature? That's not the case."

"I don't bother, I just do it when I think of it."

He looked at Ying Zheng and Li Si, and said quite innocently: "Actually, when I was doing certain things, I didn't connect them together, but when I saw them later, I suddenly felt that they could be connected."

"It's all unintentional."

"You believe me."

Chen Ke's eyes were sincere and sincere, but Ying Zheng and Li Si both looked incredulous, don't tell lies to deceive people.

Seeing this sobriety, Chen Ke turned his head helplessly to look at Fusu who was standing aside.

And Fusu also loosened his shoulders, expressing helplessness.

Chen Ke pouted and said, "Your Majesty, let's continue talking about the new currency policy."

"I feel that there should not be many people who exchange gold, because gold is a precious metal. Even if we don't allow this thing to circulate, as long as there are exchange points, gold will still circulate privately."

"Unless we open the circulation of gold coins now."

"However, the circulation of gold coins will invisibly make gold flow out of the hands of the court. Such precious metals and things that are not easily deformed, I feel that they should still be controlled by the court."

Li Si narrowed his eyes slightly, then thought about it and said: "So, the final ownership of the coin plan should be something that has no value in itself, needs to be given value by the court, and is guaranteed by the court's own prestige, and must be reviewed all the time?"

Having said that, Li Si, Ying Zheng, and Fu Su looked at each other and said at the same time, "Paper!"

Chen Ke looked at the three of them with some surprise in his expression.

Perhaps paper currency will be very familiar to people in the future, and it is not impossible for people in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but now it is the Great Qin Dynasty, which is nearly a thousand years away from the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Chen Ke felt a little emotional in his heart, as expected, the ancients should not be underestimated.

In fact, the ancients just lacked a little aura. With this aura, I must not be able to play with these ancients.

Immediately nodded and said: "Not bad."

"Paper money is guaranteed by the prestige and credibility of the imperial court, and one thing must be guaranteed, that is, a large amount of paper money can be exchanged for silver. It is impossible for paper money to be exchanged for silver, but it cannot be exchanged."

"This is early days."

Chen Ke sneered: "In the early days, there must have been rich merchants hoarding some banknotes in order to depreciate the banknotes, and then buy a large number of banknotes, and then exchange them again. After that, a vicious circle will be formed, and Daqin's banknotes will go bankrupt."

"So we have to hoard a lot of silver at this stage and buy a lot of gold from them."

"In this way, even if they have a small amount of silver and gold in their hands, it is not a cause for concern."

Chen Ke said softly: "After the initial stage, find a few mistakes and slaughter those fattened pigs."

"Since ancient times, isn't the fastest way to make a fortune is to ransack your home and destroy your family?"

Having said that, Ying Zheng felt a little helpless: "I said Chen Ke, what are you thinking all over your head?"

He was a little curious: "Why do I feel that you are somewhat hostile to wealthy businessmen?"

Chen Ke shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have wronged me by saying that. How could I be hostile to wealthy businessmen?"

"I just feel that these people live to contribute to Daqin, don't they?"

He chuckled: "They gather money from the people in their own hands, but they don't want to contribute to the development of the imperial court and Great Qin."

"That can only be done by the court."

Ying Zheng said with emotion; "We can't deal with wealthy businessmen so simply and rudely. This will affect their desire to make money, so we can't always have a stable source of money."

He said casually: "Do you two still remember the old Widow Qing?"

When Fusu heard this name, he immediately sat up straight, his heart filled with curiosity.

Ba Widow Qing was a wealthy businessman whom Ying Zheng personally praised, and even built Huaiqing Terrace for her.

So far, some folks have speculated whether the first emperor had Oedipus feelings, otherwise why would he praise a widow so much?
Even Fusu, who is a son, is very curious.

However, the expressions of Chen Ke and Li Si did not change at all, both of them knew the inside story.

Only ordinary Qianshou and some stupid people would think that Yingzheng built Huaiqing Terrace to commemorate Ba Widow Qing.

In other words, Yingzheng really misses widow Qing Ba, but what he misses is the huge wealth that is so easy to get
Ba Widow Qing, a well-known businessman and tyrant in Bashu, took control of the family after her husband died, then occupied the land of Bashu, began to amass money crazily, and finally became a well-known wealthy businessman.

After Yingzheng praised Widow Qing Ba, he asked someone to bring Widow Qing Ba to Xianyang City.

Not just Ba Widow Qing, but all the people of Ba Widow Qing.

It's a gift.

But the question is, after so many years of operation in Bashu, is the widow Halal, who has a huge wealth in the local area, really a resource?

Ba Widow Qing was so healthy, why did she die after living in Xianyang City for a few years?

After she died, where did the huge wealth go?
And Li Si knew more in detail, after all, he was the one who really experienced that period of time.

At that time, Yingzheng, who was also the King of Qin, admired Widow Qing so much, not only because he wanted to swallow the huge wealth of Widow Qing, but also because Widow Qing had raised a group of private troops in Bashu, which was equivalent to a warlord separatist power.

And the last point is a little selfishness of Ying Zheng himself.

He was mocking his mother.

When Ying Zheng saw the eyes of Chen Ke and Li Si, he knew that these two people knew his plan clearly, but when he saw Fu Su's eyes, he was furious.

"At the beginning, Widow Qing hoarded a lot of money in Bashu, and raised an army with wealth comparable to that of the country."

"It took me a lot of effort to swallow her wealth and completely disperse her army."

Ying Zheng looked at Fu Su, like a father teaching his son: "You can't just be tough when dealing with businessmen, because you never know what the huge wealth they have is used for."

"If you don't pay attention, it may threaten the court and the country itself."

"Thus, when dealing with merchants, one must progress gradually, wait until the opportunity is seized, and then kill him with one blow. This is the way to be an emperor."

Fusu just sat there, listening respectfully, with a little understanding in his expression.

Ying Zheng continued to talk to Chen Ke and Li Si in front of him, "What Boy Chen said is indeed a good idea."

"In fact, not only merchants, but also some treacherous officials and corrupt officials in the court can be temporarily tolerated."

"These people may not be useful anytime soon."

"Tackling them with tactics that business people are used to, like taxes."

The old god Yingzheng said: "Although ransacking the family and exterminating the family can obtain a lot of money in a short period of time, the problem is that it is not sustainable. A family can only obtain it once."

"But taxes are different."

"On the one hand, merchants are used to high taxes, and they won't stop selling products because of taxes."

"On the other hand, the merchants will also feel relieved, because they see that the imperial court has plundered a lot of money from them, which will let them know that the imperial court intends to keep flowing, rather than find a chance to drive them all out."

"So they work harder to make money."

"So as long as the taxation is under control, the imperial court will be able to collect money forever."

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "So, taxation is the top priority."

"After the new currency policy comes out, we can formulate a new tax policy for merchants, so as to tell all merchants that Daqin has once again become an empire that encourages merchants to develop."

Listening to Ying Zheng's analysis, Chen Ke silently praised Ying Zheng in her heart.

"Your Majesty, how to formulate the tax policy for merchants?"

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Shangjun wrote a letter, and the merchants collect the tax of Shanze, and the tax is three tenths."

"This tax, together with the previous taxation policy for merchants, is actually onerous, and it is too hard for some small merchants and hawkers."

"So I'm going to change it to a phased one."

Ying Zheng dipped his fingers into the teacup and described on the table: "The monthly income is used as the approval, if the income exceeds a hundred gold, it will be two tenths, if it exceeds a thousand gold, it will be three tenths, and if it exceeds ten thousand gold, it will be half. "

The first emperor was very approved, because there are almost no people with a monthly income of ten thousand gold, so half of the tax is actually just a policy.

Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng, and added slightly: "Actually, the monthly income calculation is still somewhat inaccurate."

"How about adding another year's accounting?"

"Annual thousand gold and below, apply two-tenths, more than one thousand gold, three-tenths, more than five thousand gold, four-tenths, and more than ten thousand gold, one-half."

"Those who exceed fifty thousand gold are three-fifths, and those who exceed one hundred thousand gold are seven-tenths."

Seeing the terrified expressions of the rest of the people, Chen Ke touched his nose.

"Your Majesty, what I'm talking about is not seven-tenths of one hundred thousand gold, but seven-tenths of the part between fifty thousand and one hundred thousand."

"For example, if a wealthy businessman earns [-] gold a year, the tax he pays is not [-] gold."

"It's three-tenths of four thousand, four-tenths of five thousand, one-forty-two thousand, three-fifths of fifty thousand, that is, [-] gold."

"About forty-eight percent of the total income."
