Da Qin: Rebuked the dissatisfied ministers, held the sword towards the emperor at the beginning

Chapter 39 Ying Zheng: Good work should be rewarded! [[-]-word chapter]

As soon as the experts make a move, they will know if there is any.

Li Si didn't forcefully use nonsense words to provoke, after all, Ying Zheng had just nodded and agreed that the "Lingyi System" was interesting.

After the emperor set the tone.

As a minister, he cannot openly refute.

Furthermore.

Although Li Si has been demoted by half a level, he is still the left prime minister of the empire, the leader of the noble faction of foreign guests, and a master of legalism in the world. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the [Tomb System] is very feasible. ...

Li Si must not turn black and white with his eyes closed.

Because that would be too low-level.

It is not in line with the status of Sangong Prime Minister.

then.

Li Si chose to look at the extension of the mausoleum system.

Standing in the perspective of the future.

Migration of the Shiqing class from the Central Plains into the Guanzhong, in addition to the unification of politics, economy, legal system, culture, public opinion and other aspects that Yin Lie said just now, and the smooth implementation of national policies such as the prefecture and county system.

The empire expropriated a large amount of land from the Shiqing class in the Central Plains, which is also a key point...

Also.

Li Si also knew a piece of information.

That is because the emperor specifically analyzed that Yin Lie tried his best to protect Li Xin in the first court debate simply because Li Xin practiced elite military doctrine.

That is to say: the soldiers who go out to fight are more valuable than more valuable!

In contrast.

The commander-in-chief Wu Chenghou Wang Jian is obviously more all-encompassing.

Back to this moment.

After learning that Yin Lie did not want to start a large-scale Northern Expedition, Li Xin came up with two plans for the distribution of massive Central Plains land.

One: directly granting land to the people at the bottom of the Central Plains for no reason.

But this will make Guanzhong extremely dissatisfied!

And if Li Xin leads elite troops on an expedition, he must lead the elite from Guanzhong...

Then this is dead end!
You also need the children of Guanzhong to go to the northern border to fight tough battles, lie on the ice and taste the snow, and put their heads on their belts, so that they can exchange military achievements for some land.

As a result, the people of the Central Plains can receive land rewards without doing anything!
Who can be convinced?

How can we fight this battle! ?

Two: Ask the emperor to start a super-large-scale battle, and send 30 Central Plains troops to sweep the northern border...

This is even more impossible!

Because the people in the Central Plains were not very willing to conquer the Huns in the north, but on the other hand, the old Qin people in Guanzhong wanted to be promoted through military exploits...

Then can you use only the soldiers of the Central Plains in the Northern Expedition?
The old Qin people in Guanzhong were still in trouble.

and!

Li Si knew very well that it was impossible for Yin Lie himself to accept the start of a super-large battle.

Because of this...

Yin Lie's goal of rehabilitating Li Xin, reducing food, grass and military supplies used in the Northern Expedition, and allowing the people of Kyushu to recuperate will come to naught!
and so.

The second option given by Li Si is also a dead end for Yin Lie!

of course!

[Mausoleum system] must be very useful in itself!

But what Li Si wants to do now is to kill Yin Lie's majesty and frustrate Yin Lie's spirit!

Wood show in the forest!

The wind will destroy it!

Since Li Si made a move, he must teach Yin Lie a lesson so that it can end properly!

side.

Lord Weiyang and Jiuqingzong looked at each other head-on. They were obviously very confident in the ability of the left minister Li Si.

Fusu breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, Yin Lie proposed the [Lingyi System]... at least his life was saved.

Fusu really didn't want to see Yin Lie being beheaded in public in a daze.

suddenly!

Meng Tian, ​​Weiwei of Jiuqing, rarely took the initiative to say: "The current total population of the Central Plains is around 2000 million. Even if the nobles and elites are moved to Lishan Lingyi under the fullest quota, it is still a very small part compared to the total population of the Central Plains."

"Even if all the old, weak, women and children are removed, the Central Plains should still have millions of young adults of the right age!"

"In this way, even if a large-scale Northern Expedition of 30 sharp soldiers is launched, it will be difficult to distribute a large amount of land logically."

……

Meng Tian is also a top-notch commander-in-chief. He is very sensitive to numbers. In just one thought, he pointed out that relying on military merit alone to distribute land simply does not work.

Assuming that the government holds the vast amounts of expropriated land for a long time, it will definitely not be empty forever. The government will need corvees, laborers, or prisoners to cultivate it.

But still the same.

Farming seasons in ancient times were very tense.

The people themselves also need to work quickly and slowly to farm and pay taxes.

And build the Great Wall, Lishan Mausoleum, including the construction of Mausoleum... Prisoners and corvée are needed everywhere!
It is impossible for local governments to allocate enough manpower to plant and utilize all the massive idle land.

"I also said something."

Military Marquis Ren Xiao said in a ruthless tone: "If you want to sweep across the northern border, you must have our children from Guanzhong! Only sending brave soldiers from the Central Plains... is unreliable!"

As soon as Ren Xiao said this.

It immediately caused several military princes to nod, even Li Xin was no exception.

The tenacity and belligerence of the old Qin people in Guanzhong have long been engraved in their bones. This is indeed incomparable to the people of the Central Plains.

Immediately.

The situation reversed.

It seemed that Yin Lie was about to be overwhelmed by Li Si, Prime Minister of the Left.

Upper position.

Ying Zheng still looked at everything that happened indifferently. As an emperor, he could always just sit back and watch, waiting for things to change.

For now.

Ying Zheng thought Yin Lie's performance was outstanding, but there was still a long way to go before he could be amazed...

that's it.

"..."

Ying Zheng silently adjusted his sitting posture. Let's see how Yin Lie will face Li Si's difficulties.

……

off the field.

Yin Lie listened to the speeches of Li Si, Meng Tian and Ren Xiao.

Programmatic issues related to land distribution.

He really didn't think so far...

After all, Yin Lie didn't know which topic Kong Ze would choose for debate.

Just now he proposed the [Tomb City System] and a series of supporting measures, relying on his vision and knowledge as a traveler, as well as his excellent on-the-spot response.

at this time.

Facing the pressure of Li Si, the left prime minister of the empire, every step of the way.

Yin Lie more or less needs some time to buffer his thoughts.

He wanted to silence people like Li Si.

Any little cleverness is useless!
Yin Lie must come up with an impeccable third plan for land distribution!
around.

Kong Ze didn't have any intention of watching Yin Lie's jokes. He was also actively thinking about a good way to distribute the land, but the result was... no solution!
The attitude of the old Qin people in Guanzhong needs to be considered.

It must also conform to the national conditions and national policies of Da Qin.

It will also have a positive impact on the subsequent Northern Expedition.

It's really hard!
Kong Ze now finally understands what is easier said than done.

Sage books or something, can understand the heart and know the etiquette.

But really use it to work...

Seems useless.

"Hey."

Kong Ze sighed softly. This trip was not over yet, and he already felt that he had grown a lot.

thought here.

Kong Ze couldn't help but put his eyes on Yin Lie. If he was put in Yin Lie's position right now, facing the joint pressure from the Imperial Prime Minister Zuo, the Wuxungui faction of the Great Qin Army, and the Confucian faction, he reckoned that he would have to fight immediately. Thousands of miles away...

Not to mention coming up with an impeccable national policy for allocating land under heavy pressure.

Simultaneously.

Doctors are also trying to find countermeasures.

"Do you think it's possible to give the land to the head of Guizhou at the bottom of the Central Plains first, and then let him pay more taxes every year until 30 years?"

"No! If you do it like this... my Great Qin's military title system will still be shaken, how can the Northern Expedition be fought?"

"Then let the low-level Guizhou pay a batch of down payment to buy land first, and then pay more taxes for 30 years. The old Qin people in Guanzhong have nothing to say about such a high price?"

"The problem is that the head of Guizhou at the bottom of the Central Plains has been squeezed into a poor man by the six countries. Even after decades of receiving taxes, you still want them to pay down payment to buy land? What are you thinking!"

"This matter is also simple. The government can first lend the down payment to those low-level people in the Central Plains, and then it will be fine later."

"The risk is too great. If there is a natural disaster of drought or flood, starvation will be everywhere, and the land will be desolate... Who can make up for the shortfall caused by then?"

"Alas! It's true that neither the left nor the right can do anything... How can it be so difficult to do something for the leaders of Guizhou at the bottom of the Central Plains?"

……

By distributing a large amount of land to the low-level people in the Central Plains, the country can win the hearts of the people, tax them, and increase the legal rationality of Daqin's rule.

This is obviously a win-win situation for both the people and the empire.

But the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

since ancient times.

Wanting to plead for the people is like going against the sky.

"The assassin of the king!"

Chunyu Yue suddenly said: "Such unsolvable problems, even if the princes of the Manchu Dynasty held ten big court meetings in Xianyang, it would be difficult to discuss a perfect solution! According to the old man, don't waste your time Now, let’s openly admit the flaws of the [Lingyi System]. Next...it’s up to you and me to compete on the issue of the rationality of the Qin Dynasty’s law!"

Chun Yuyue said that he had roughly figured out Yin Lie's background now. The latter's vision and knowledge were indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, but they were not strong enough to be comparable to the sages of the Spring and Autumn Period.

immediately.

Chunyu Yue was about to stand up and make his debut!
however.

Yin Lie raised his hands and said, "Dr. Chunyu, don't worry!"

Chun Yuyue: "..."

"I figured out how to distribute the land!"

Yin Lie looked straight at the high platform.

Li Si, the left prime minister, said seriously: "Those who assassinate the emperor must not make jokes on such occasions!"

Li Si said that he couldn't solve the problem he had in a short time, and how could Yin Lie develop a third solution within two quarters of an hour...

Upper position.

Ying Zheng straightened his posture and said: "Assassin, if you can really come up with a land distribution national policy based on the [Lingyi System] that will make all of us speechless... In addition to absolution, I will You will be allowed to make a request!”

Needless to say.

Ying Zheng's tolerance for great talents in the world is very high.

Today's Yin Lie reminds Ying Zheng of Han Fei in the past...

They are both disciples of Ya Sheng Xun Kuang.

Han Fei is the only great talent in the past that Ying Zheng has seen in his life!

Unfortunately.

After Han Fei entered the Qin Dynasty, he still cared about his mother country, sending information out of Xianyang in various ways.

Ying Zheng tolerated it again and again, but in the end he couldn't stand Han Fei's own death, forcibly hindering Daqin's dominance...

On the other hand, Yin Lie even appeared in the way of assassinating the king.

But after these days, especially with today's "Lingyi System", Yingzheng has gradually begun to realize that everything Yin Lie has done is generally beneficial to the country!
However, Yin Lie roared in front of the emperor and shook his reputation in various ways, which also made Ying Zheng feel... This is really a thorn in the side!
Fortunately, Ying Zheng has always been clear about his merits and demerits.

One yard owned by a yard!
He will not forgive Yin Lie's crime of assassinating the emperor easily.

But when Yin Lie put forward a very beneficial remonstrance for Da Qin Guozuo, Ying Zheng would also show his generosity and kindness.

"His Majesty……"

When Duke He heard this, he immediately raised his voice to object.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, showing displeasure.

next moment.

Duke He immediately changed his words and said, "Your Majesty, I don't believe that this madman Yin Lie can come up with a land distribution plan that convinces everyone present in such a short period of time!"

Ying Zheng said slowly: "Yin Lie, if you don't answer well, I will punish you twice!"

Everyone on the high platform heard the words and looked at each other again.

What Yin Lie committed was a recognized death penalty, no matter how much the punishment is doubled, it is actually the same.

On the contrary, Yingzheng promised that he could make extraordinary demands, which is definitely a real reward!
Center of the square.

"His Majesty!"

Yin Lie got up from the fine iron cage and cupped his hands: "The plan I think is very simple, just distribute corvee and land distribution!"

"First of all, the current Qin Dynasty needs to transform from continuous foreign wars to governance and construction, so it is impossible to reduce the corvee."

"Since corvée needs to mobilize the people of Kyushu for a long time, why can't we bind land distribution with corvée?"

……

In the past, the eldest son Fusu had to advise Ying Zheng to reduce corvee and loosen taxes.

No matter what.

The State of Qin had just conquered the world and was in a period of great development.

Many national-level projects need to go hand in hand, and it is difficult to stop.

Just like when the East County meteorite incident broke out.

Can Ying Zheng say no to the Northern Expedition?

The emperor also needs to follow the general trend of destiny.

Even if it is an emperor through the ages, there are many things that cannot be controlled and reversed.

"The corvee does not distinguish between Guanzhong and Central Plains, and all people in Kyushu are treated equally!"

Yin Lie continued: "As for whether it will be unfair to the military elites of the past... Da Qin cannot continue to engage in foreign wars. Sooner or later, the military merit and title system will not be able to operate!"

"For the long term, Great Qin must find a new parallel alternative system and a point of growth for its national power!"

"Corvée also includes land distribution. On the one hand, it can maintain the momentum of Kyushu's great development, and on the other hand, it can also solve the problems of administrative downtime and economic stagnation caused by the ceasefire of the Great Qin Dynasty."

……

The most troublesome point of domineering militarism is that it needs to keep fighting foreign wars and win victories continuously, so as to maintain expansion-style development!
But Huaxia is not a nomadic people in essence, they can fight wherever they go...

China is an agricultural civilization, limited by productivity and food supply, sooner or later Daqin's foreign wars will not go on, and it is only a matter of time before a complete collapse.

That being so...

Then changes must be made!

"As for the land rewarded by the military title system, how is it different from the land allocated by corvee..."

Yin Lie added: "Shangjun's law stipulates that the land granted by military merits needs to be inherited by descending from the father, that is, passing from father to son. When the rank is lowered by one level, the land should also be reduced accordingly."

"And the land allocated by the corvee is calculated based on the current average life expectancy of Kyushu... That is, every 30 years, the state will take back a round of land and redistribute the corvee."

"Of course, how to operate it, increase or decrease the number of years of corvee land, and whether to reserve the minimum foothold for the people at the bottom, all need to be adjusted according to the actual situation in the future."

……

The descendant inheritance of Shang Jun's law.

In fact, it is based on the problem of the final collapse of Wei soldiers' combat power.

It's not just that the quality of Wei's generals is too low.

More importantly... at the end of the Wei Kingdom, there was no land to distribute, and Wei soldiers could not get corresponding military merit incentives, so their combat power naturally plummeted.

It was the same in later generations and the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming army is not full of pay, and full of pay is invincible!
This can be seen.

Shang Yang really considered all aspects.

Yin Lie naturally also has to take into account the issue of land circulation and redistribution.

According to the average life expectancy in the pre-Qin period, land redistribution every 30 years can ensure the sustainable development of Daqin.

Simultaneously.

It can also solve the transformation problem of militaristic Qin in the short term.

suddenly!

After a short period of stupefaction, Kong Ze shouted softly: "What a plan! On the basis of the [Mausoleum System], we can also develop a system of military service and land distribution, which can replace Shangjun in parallel...Your Excellency, really There is the style of spring and autumn sages!"

Kong Ze is not stingy with his admiration and praise!
Because he felt that Yin Lie really came up with an impeccable answer!

The Central Plains and Guanzhong regions can participate in the distribution of land by corvee, and the corvee land can be recovered within a fixed period of time and cannot be inherited...

Then the old Qin people in Guanzhong have no reason to be resentful.

Since then.

The distribution of land by corvee can accelerate the short-term and long-term maintain the momentum of the great development of the empire.

And to solve the problem of the transformation of the militaristic Great Qin... The military merit title system can be regarded as an equal replacement.

This perfectly conforms to the national conditions and national policies of Daqin!
In summary!

Taking land as the foundation, stimulating people's power through corvee service, and supplementing it with Li Xin's elite military doctrine!

The Northern Expedition...will be unstoppable!
"Junior of the Kong family, you are very discerning."

Yin Lie grinned, and turned to ask: "Li Xiang, how is it? I am a corvée who also has a land distribution plan, are you satisfied!?"

on the high platform.

Left Prime Minister Li Si paused slightly, his pupils were filled with incredible shock!
"Assassin of the King, you..."

At this moment, even Li Si, who has been in the ups and downs of his life, feels a little speechless. He really didn't expect that his first shot would actually make Yin Lie!
Has he become a stepping stone to the left prime minister of the empire?

Upper position.

Yingzheng said in a deep voice: "What a corvée and the national policy of land distribution...a reward!!"

Li Si: "..."

Mr. Mo: "..."

Meng Wu: "..."
