Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 221 Power, Wealth, and Nobility Are Also Determined to Be One! (seeking subscription)
Fusu smiled, seeming a bit wicked.

Zhang Cang's heart skipped a beat again, and the ominous premonition in his heart became more and more serious.

In an instant.

He even wanted to run away.

Zhang Cang hurriedly said: "Your Highness, it was the minister who made a slip of the tongue just now. Your Highness must be worried about important national affairs. How can you tell me so easily? It was the minister who was rude in front of you. Please punish your Highness. I really dare not hear about the important matters of the empire."

"The minister is sloppy."

Fusu could hear the meaning of Zhang Cang's words.

He is also happy.

Fusu said: "Zhang Yushi is close to me, so it's okay to tell Zhang Yushi about it, and it can't be hidden for too long, you will know soon, since Zhang Yushi is so caring, help me The staff and staff are also excellent."

heard.

Zhang Cang's face turned completely dark.

He even wanted to slap himself twice in his heart.

But there was only a smile on his face.

Fusu was very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "What I do is actually aimed at strengthening the foundation. The foundation of the Great Qin lies in the army. It has gradually become the shackles of the imperial court."

"At present, the imperial court owes too much reward."

"And I intend to settle the matter."

After hearing Fusu's words, Zhang Cang was stunned.

He had expected it before, but he really didn't expect that His Highness had so many schemes. He didn't want to appease the soldiers of the army, but wanted to solve all the problems accumulated by the Great Qin Dynasty under the military merit system for nearly a hundred years.

This is too ambitious.

Zhang Cang pursed his lips, and said in a trembling voice, "What is Your Highness going to do?"

Fusu's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The military merit system needs to be changed, but after all, the military merit system has been implemented for hundreds of years, and it has already been deeply rooted in Qin. It is undoubtedly necessary to persuade the people to make changes. It's rare."

"Especially Daqin's many rewards have not been fulfilled."

"Changing it hastily will only cause dissatisfaction among the people of Qin."

"There can be no problems in Guanzhong."

"This is the bottom line!"

"So if you want to change the military merit system, you have to honor the rewards first, but Zhang Yushi also knows that in the past 20 years, the Great Qin has conquered the north and south, and millions of soldiers have gained military exploits, especially the military exploits such as destroying the six kingdoms and expelling the Huns. , is even more shining."

"There are no fields and houses in Guanzhong for a long time."

"Some time ago, through the 'Guan Shan Hai', the imperial court got a lot of money and food. This is just to honor the rewards promised by the imperial court to the soldiers before the war. Compared with the more important fields and houses, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. Just can't finish it."

"However, as long as the rewards are not honored, the army will always be unstable."

"Such hidden dangers must be rejected."

"It's just that the fields and houses are really unbearable, so we can only choose another way to replace them with other things that the soldiers are interested in, and then cash out the rewards of the year in full, so as to stabilize the morale of the army in one fell swoop."

Hearing Fusu's words, Zhang Cang didn't feel at ease at all, only felt deep fear.

The imperial court has long known about the issue of land and house meritorious service rewards.

It's not that I didn't think about solving it in the past, but I haven't found a way. In the end, I can only forcibly relocate the population of Guanzhong and Kanto, and relocate a large number of people from Guanzhong to the South China Sea in the north. It's just that these measures have solved some problems, but they are also This provoked complaints from the people in Guanzhong, and their resentment towards the imperial court continued to deepen.

finally.

The court gradually abandoned this approach.

Now that Fusu brought up the old matter again, it is still so solemn, there is probably a solution, but it is not easy to implement, or it needs to be approved by the courtiers, although he does not know how to do it, but it can be compared to Tian Zhai in the heart of Qianshou status, what else can there be in the world?Most of them have to be cut off from other people.

One can imagine the difficulty.

Zhang Cang's forehead was already sweating violently. Although it was early summer, but the weather was not yet hot, Zhang Cang's clothes were already soaked quietly.

Fusu glanced at the gate of the palace, and said in a cold voice: "The most important solutions are: one is to grant the clan, the other is to allow the children who are hairpin and not changed to enter the school, and the other is to It is the head of Guizhou who has allowed these two titles to become an official."

After listening.

Zhang Cang's face calmed down.

It's just that the face is full of tiredness and vicissitudes.

Granting a family name, enrolling in school, becoming an official, each of them almost stepped on the hearts of powerful and nobles. If it is really implemented, it can be said that the world will be shaken. He also knows that the impact will not only be It's the moment.

What's more important is to invisibly weaken the reputation and honor of nobles.

How can this really be implemented?
Zhang Cang raised his head, with bitterness on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, this is probably the idea of ​​that Mr. Ji, and only this person dares to say such amazing words, and only this person dares to speak like that." The idea of ​​making the nobles of the world powerful."

"Just. Want to implement."

"Disaster!!!"

Fusu was silent.

How could he not know the difficulty?

But it is difficult to do.

The army is the foundation of the Great Qin. Only when the army is united can the Great Qin be invincible. As the prince of the Great Qin, he has reason to accomplish these.

Zhang Cang sighed lightly.

He just felt a little dark in front of him now.

In the past, the imperial court mostly targeted alchemists and Confucian scholars, but this time it was different. The imperial court's targets have changed, from a small group of people in the past to "powerful people".

This is real dignitaries!
He is also the real powerful person in the world.

Ji Heng was too courageous.

But Zhang Cang thought about it carefully, but felt it was reasonable.

Ji Heng's foothold has never fallen to the bottom, and he has always focused on the wealthy and powerful groups. From the very beginning targeting merchants to now targeting the powerful, Ji Heng's goal has always been very specific, that is, to exhaust all All methods are used to weaken the prestige of the powerful, and through step-by-step means, the powerful group is suppressed, and the influence of the powerful nobles formed under the past three generations of kings is completely wiped out.

It's just crazy.

Too scary.

Even Zhang Cang felt his hair stand on end.

Even feel cold hands and feet.

It is very difficult to succeed in this move, but once it fails, it is doomed to be ruined, and it will never recover forever, and it will be completely trampled to death by nobles, powerful and other forces. This is a gamble.

But if successful, the benefits are obvious.

The political foundation of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties completely collapsed, and the aristocratic system has disappeared since then. Even though there are still nobles in the world, everyone is eligible to be a "shi", everyone has the opportunity to enter school, and everyone has the opportunity to become an official. Status, as time goes by, will only become more and more cheap, and even no longer have the slightest advantage.

Could this be tolerated by nobles?
He almost didn't need to think too much about it, and he knew that after the announcement of these three policies, the uproar caused in the whole country, as well as the conflicts caused by nobles and powerful people all over the world.

Too bad!
It can be described as cramping and sucking marrow.

He now also knows why Ji Heng doesn't want to be an official.

If he becomes an official, he will not be impeached every two days, but will be impeached all the time, and he will be targeted by various schemes.

At present, Ji Heng is clearly not an official, but he can have an influence on the court affairs.

This is the real great wisdom.

just
When Ji Heng opened his mouth, he wanted his own life.

He just wants to give himself two slaps now. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, but he thought that after Guan Shanhai, the situation in the army seems to be calming down. Fusu is the new crown prince, so there is nothing important for a short time , and Hu Wujing gave him another reason, so he took the initiative to come to the door, never thought that he would encounter such a tragedy head-on.

Why is his life so hard!
Repay virtue with resentment.
Zhang Cang said: "Your Highness, there seems to be some important matters to be dealt with at the Yushi Mansion, so I will take my leave first."

Fu Su said with a half-smile, "Zhang Yushi, since you know about this matter, you also agreed to enter the Office of Affairs. You can think about it after you go down, and maybe you can make some suggestions for the implementation of these decrees in the future."

Zhang Cang smiled uglier than crying and said, "I obey the order."

Done.

Zhang Cang left Lama Temple as if fleeing.

Others are numb.

Now there is only endless regret left in my heart.

I thought that I could win Fusu's favor by offering advice, and it could be considered as offsetting the previous avoidance of Fusu, and I did, but I ran into another abyss head-on, an abyss that made people feel endless panic. .

on the carriage.

Zhang Cang was paralyzed.

He murmured in a low voice: "Ji Heng, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Do you really want to be equal under the imperial power?"

"But with your intelligence, how can you not know that this is impossible at all."

immediately.

Zhang Cang seemed to realize something, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

He frowned and said, "Power."

"The emergence of the rich and powerful comes from the difference in dignity, rank, and rank, and the existence of the powerful and powerful is due to the influence of power. Some prominent existences can be used to bless future generations, power and wealth, and these things are finally turned into intangibles. respect, rank, etc., the current aristocratic system in the world is the legacy of the power of the past."

"The so-called power of these nobles does not come from 'upper' at the moment."

"It comes from Yu Ze of the past three generations."

"Ji Heng's method is to destroy the past aristocratic system and completely eliminate the miscellaneous dignitaries in the world. From now on, the wealth and honor of Great Qin can only come from one side, that is, the emperor. Smash."

"The power must also be fixed at one."

"And out of one."

"Instead of coming from multiple schools like in the past."

Zhang Cang whispered a few times, and some enlightenment came to his mind.

The essence of Ji Heng's approach is to centralize power.

Not all the power and wealth in the world today come from the emperor.

Some still follow Yu Ze from the Zhou Dynasty. These people have disdain for Qin, and the essence of this disdain is that their wealth is not bestowed by the emperor, so they dare to be so unscrupulous and lawless, Ji Heng thought What they did was to completely deprive them of wealth and honor, and take away all the power held by the nobles.

Suppress the nobles by means of enrolling in school, becoming an official, and bestowing clans.

Nobility is no longer the existence of dignitaries and dignitaries.

Nor can it be rich.

The only way these nobles want to be rich is to be recognized by the Great Qin, and the power and wealth can only come from the Qin Empire. In this way, the nobles seem to be caught by the throat of the empire, and they dare not have any dissent, because all their power comes from Qin.

Think of this.

Zhang Cang's expression became serious.

He felt that Ji Heng's approach was a little too bold.

This is an enemy of the powerful and powerful in the world.

No one in the world wants their power and wealth to be held in the hands of others, and they can even be deprived of it with a single word. In the past, the aristocrats in the world were powerful because they had three generations of Yu Zexia's wealth in their hands, so they were still able to stand tall. The world has long been used to this. However, Ji Heng wants to change this situation. What he wants to do is to make everyone equal under the imperial power.

Everyone can go up and down.

No difference.

even
He felt that Ji Heng still thought that the emperor committed the same crime as the common people when he broke the law.

Just as soon as this idea was born, Zhang Cang quickly shook his head, not daring to think deeply about this idea, but he already understood that Ji Heng wanted to completely destroy the existing system of power and wealth in the world, and concentrate all power and wealth in the imperial court. Then redistribute.

One emperor and one courtier.

Constantly change the rotation, and finally achieve equality.

Instead of enclosing the land in various places, they have always firmly controlled the place and become the local king of the mountain, but Ji Heng's ideas are too dangerous and too sensational, and Zhang Cang even feels that he seems to be supercilious.

He shook his head.

He didn't want to continue thinking about Ji Heng.

He felt that he couldn't figure it out, and even if he figured it out, it wouldn't make any sense.

He is just a minister!
The final decision is yours.

soon.

Zhang Cang returned to Yushifu.

When everyone outside the mansion saw Zhang Cang coming back, they all greeted him with smiles.

Zhang Cang had a cold face and did not respond.

With heavy steps, he quickly returned to his official office, and then took out a jar of honey under the big case, and ate a few mouthfuls in a row, and then suppressed the uneasiness and fear in his heart.

he knows.

I really got into trouble.

But he didn't have much fear.

In fact, he is also very curious, under the guidance of Ji Heng, where will Daqin go?
Is this person really so powerful?

Ji Heng was naturally unaware of Zhang Cang's daydreams about him.

Right now, he is planning to go fishing by the Weishui River.

He is now less and less constrained, especially since Hu Hai has been running towards him these days. Even if he goes out alone, the attendants around him basically turn a blind eye.

Ji Heng is so happy.

Staying in a small courtyard is boring after all.

After realizing the surrounding situation, he also immediately prepared a fishing rod for himself, ready to add some food for himself.

Hu Hai also followed closely.

He has also discovered recently that he seems to be more comfortable when he is with Ji Heng, he will not be with a bunch of people at any time, and he can do some things he wants to do.

Of course, what he wants to go more is Goulan Washe in the city.

It's just that Ji Heng never agreed.

But Hu Hai didn't give up, and told Ji Heng a few times every once in a while, just once, just once.

The two of them went to the bank of the Weishui in such a quiet and fussy manner.

It's just that there are still people guarding the dark place.

When Ji Hengle was free, Fusu had already written the memorial, checked it several times, and confirmed that there was no problem with the writing. He also roasted the memorial with wet ink on the fire for a few times, then put it in his sleeve, got up and left. Xianyang Palace.

Soon.

He came outside Xianyang Palace.

After the eunuch entered the report, he also entered the palace smoothly.
