Da Qin: Become stronger and immortal by picking up attributes from the battlefield

Chapter 316: Ying Zheng: This national policy is implemented, China is completely settled, and humanity is unified! The beginning of the dynasty!

Looking at Zhao Feng who was so serious.

The expressions of everyone in the hall became solemn.

"Your Highness, I respectfully listen to your order."

All the ministers shouted in unison.

"Before the reunification of China, the land of our Great Qin will belong to the state. Only those who hold titles can be granted land, and only those who have made contributions to our Great Qin can be granted land."

"Of course."

"In the original six kingdoms, this national policy was not fully implemented, and most of the farmland was annexed by the wealthy merchants and dignitaries of the six kingdoms."

"The only things that Daqin has taken back are the lands of the powerful families that were exterminated by Daqin in the past. Only then will their lands be returned to the state."

"Fields, cultivated land."

“No matter which era it is, it is the foundation of a country and cannot be neglected.”

"This time."

"I have made my decision."

"Take possession of the land of the world."

"Within the territory of our Great Qin, except for the land granted by titles, all other land will be nationalized. After being taken over, private trading and selling of the land is not allowed. Anyone who violates the order will have their land taken back and will not be granted again!" Zhao Feng said in a deep voice, without any doubt.

Every dynasty, every generation.

Why is it that after two or three hundred years, rebellions and treason will occur, leading to the subversion of the country?

The fundamental reason is that the land was annexed by the powerful and wealthy, and ordinary people had no land to farm, so they were eventually forced to rebel.

What Zhao Feng had to do was to nationalize all the land of Daqin. Except for the noble soldiers and meritorious ministers who could be granted land, all other land would be nationalized. No sale or trading was allowed. All land would be distributed according to population registration. Those that had not been distributed would be regarded as official land and used by the army to cultivate the land.

"May I ask the prince?"

"After the land is nationalized, what will happen to the landless people in the world?" Han Fei asked respectfully.

"After the land is returned to the state."

"All the people of our Great Qin can be allocated land for cultivation according to population and household registration."

"I want every citizen in the world to have land to farm." Zhao Feng said without hesitation.

"After the land is collected by the state, it will be distributed according to population and household registration."

"Then how should the share of our great Qin's meritorious warriors be calculated?" Li Si asked respectfully.

"The land granted by the Qin Dynasty to the Ruishi will naturally remain the Ruishi's, and given their status as Qin people, they will also be granted the corresponding land as the people of the Qin Dynasty." Zhao Feng said with a smile.

"Except for the heartland of our Great Qin, most of the fields in the original six kingdoms are controlled by nobles. They will definitely resist this forced conscription." Wei Liao said.

"Resist?"

Zhao Feng raised the corner of his mouth with a sneer on his face.

"I wish they would rebel."

"As long as they resist, we will directly exterminate their entire clan and nationalize all their wealth and land. It just so happens that now that the treasury of our great Qin is empty, we can use their wealth to replenish the treasury." Zhao Feng said with a sneer.

Hear this.

All the ministers in the court could feel the biting chill in Zhao Feng's words.

"Generals, please convey my orders."

"The five major camps of our Great Qin are divided into nine provinces, with the main camp as one of them, guarding various places in the nine provinces."

"Once there is chaos, first let the soldiers from the prefectures and counties suppress it. If the county soldiers and prefectures cannot suppress it, then let the elite soldiers from the main camp go."

“Anyone who dares to disobey the imperial decree will be treated as treason. Anyone who resists with weapons will be killed on the spot! All accomplices will be arrested and handed over to the court for punishment.” Zhao Feng looked at the generals.

"I will receive the order."

All the generals said in unison.

"After this battle."

"Everyone of my great Qin people will have fields to plant and land to cultivate."

"Sudden time."

"Our Great Qin Divine Land is no longer simply conquered by military force, but the people are united and the culture is unified."

"This is a victory."

"I, my father, and the emperor congratulate you all."

Zhao Feng opened his hands and said solemnly.

"Everything is for Da Qin."

All the civil and military officials in the court bowed.

And in a high position.

Ying Zheng's eyes were full of joy.

He naturally knew the key to Zhao Feng's strategy.

field.

The real lifeline of all people is that if they have land, they will have food, and if they have food, they can feed their family.

China has been plagued by wars and conflicts among nations for eight hundred years. For ordinary people, they would either be drafted into the army or die on the battlefield.

Or the food supply would be constrained by high taxes, and people would eventually go hungry and starve to death.

even.

Except Daqin.

The fields of all countries in the world have been annexed by the nobles. Ordinary people have no land to farm. If they want to farm, they have to rent it from the nobles and pay rent that is much more than taxes. After a year of hard work, there is very little food left after the harvest.

In this era.

The greatest wish of ordinary people is not to succeed, nor to become a high-ranking official, but to survive.

And Daqin can give it to them.

"Feng'er."

"I am the sage of the Great Qin."

Ying Zheng spoke slowly.

The relief and praise in his tone were undisguised.

"We second the motion." All the civil and military officials in the court shouted.

here.

It did not have much impact on the court officials, because their land was rewarded by the court after they had made meritorious services, and was granted based on their military merits and contributions.

If you have made contributions to the Qin Dynasty, your property will not be taken away.

At the end of the day, they deserve it.

only.

The only restriction they had from then on was that they could not sell their land.

"May I ask the prince?"

"How much rent should be paid if the land is divided among the people?" Lu Buwei asked respectfully.

"Xiangbang."

"The land was distributed to the people, not granted to them. The people only had the right to cultivate the land allocated by the court, not the right to own it."

"After collecting all the land in the world, the first law is that the land cannot be transferred. If you don't cultivate it, the government will take it back immediately."

"As for the rent."

"Taxes are rent for tenants." Zhao Feng smiled.

"The prince is wise." Lu Buwei replied with conviction.

"How much tax does our Great Qin collect now?" Zhao Feng also asked.

"Go back to the prince."

"Our Great Qin is a country with great military achievements. Most of the food and fodder for the army comes from taxes levied on the people. The grain tax reaches 70%, which is 10% less than the 80% or even 90% tax rate of other countries in the past." Lu Buwei replied immediately.

"kindness."

Zhao Feng nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "From now on, the grain tax of the people of our Great Qin will be reduced to 10% tax."

These words.

Shocking.

"Prince."

"Isn't it too much to directly reduce taxes by 20%?"

"Now that our Great Qin's national policy is being implemented, we need too much money and grain. Now the treasury is empty. If we reduce taxes again, our Great Qin will really be in trouble." Han Fei's face changed and he hurriedly dissuaded.

Although Han Fei knew in his heart that lowering taxes was a good thing, the current situation in the Qin Dynasty was a time when a large amount of money and food was needed.

After the tax reduction, the implementation of the Qin national policy will encounter obstacles.

"Han Xiang."

"I only said to reduce the grain tax, but I didn't say to reduce other taxes." Zhao Feng smiled.

Subsequently.

Looked at Ying Zheng on the throne.

"Father."

"How much is the commercial tax in our great Qin?" Zhao Feng asked with a smile.

"Merchants are the cheapest in the world! Taxes are not high either, only one tenth." Ying Zheng said.

"not enough."

"Too little."

Zhao Feng shook his head.

"From today on."

"The commercial tax has been raised to 30%."

"Moreover, our Great Qin encourages private merchants to do business, encourages merchants to open workshops, and encourages merchants to trade within China." Zhao Feng said slowly.

"Raising the commercial tax to 30% doesn't seem to be able to make up for the 20% drop in grain tax, right?" Ying Zheng looked doubtful.

It's not Ying Zheng.

All the officials in the court thought so.

In this era, and even in many future eras.

business!
Lowly status.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

This has always been the case.

Merchants have the lowest status, but having lived two lifetimes, Zhao Feng naturally understands that if he wants to increase the country's tax revenue, he naturally needs merchants to promote it.

"Father."

"You still don't believe it."

"After the commercial tax is implemented, the court will encourage business."

"Specially divide the city into sections for merchants and shops."

"You can see how much tax revenue the business tax brings in."

Zhao Feng smiled, looking confident.

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded: "Since it is proposed by the Crown Prince, you should prepare to implement it."

"Xiangbang."

"These are the many details I have formulated to encourage business, one is the shops in the capital, and the other is the scope of business."

Zhao Feng raised his hand, and there was a letter in his hand.

The eunuch serving on the side immediately stepped forward, picked up the book and handed it respectfully to Lu Buwei.

"I will do my best to implement it."

Lu Buwei took the book and said immediately.

"Except for commercial taxes."

"In the future, there will be another source of tax revenue for our Great Qin, and that is the Tianxuan Mirror." Zhao Feng smiled. "How does the Tianxuan Mirror collect taxes?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"Today, the Mysterious Mirror is widely used in the imperial court, government offices, and the military of our Great Qin."

"In the future, all the people in my Great Qin will be able to obtain the Mysterious Heavenly Mirror."

"The power of communication is available to everyone."

"If it is an official matter, such as a memorial, then it is exempt from taxes and fees, and is based on the country."

"Yes, if the communication through the Tianxuan Mirror is a private matter."

“Then there is a subpoena tax.”

"Your son has already formulated the corresponding detailed rules. The spirit of the Tianxuan Mirror has already fully regulated the rules. For example, if the Tianxuan Mirrors you have obtained are official business, the Tianxuan Mirror will know about it and will be exempt from taxes."

"If it is a private matter, Tianxuan Mirror will collect taxes, otherwise it will not activate the power of communication."

"Except."

"The transportation of supplies to various states and counties in our Great Qin is exempt from the collection of taxes by the Tianxuan Mirror, but the transportation of items and letters by the public is subject to taxes."

"all in all."

"The tax and fees for the Tianxuan Mirror can be exempted for official business, and the spirit of the weapon will be exempted on its own."

"As for private matters, everyone needs to pay taxes." Zhao Feng smiled and explained slowly.

Hear this.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up: "If the Tianxuan Mirror becomes popular in the future, this will be an unimaginable tax, but it must not be set too high."

"Don't worry, Father."

"Ten coins are enough for a normal summons."

"If it is to transport items, it depends on the size and weight of the items." Zhao Feng smiled.

Memories of two lives.

Zhao Feng naturally knew clearly how much tax revenue the Tianxuan Mirror's communication ability would bring to Daqin.

In the future, Daqin will not have to worry about the source of money and food.

"That's great." Ying Zheng nodded.

"All right."

"Do you have anything else to say?" Zhao Feng smiled.

"We have no basis for this report." The ministers shouted.

"There is no document to be reported."

"Then let's disperse."

"Today's discussion is to collect all the land in the world and distribute it among the people, and to reduce taxes and other national policies. The Prime Minister will immediately use the Tianxuan Mirror to announce it to the nine provinces and thirty-six counties, and post notices to announce it to the world." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.

"I will follow your orders." Lu Buwei said loudly.

As the ministers retreated.

In the court meeting hall.

Only Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng were left.

"Feng'er."

"Your strategy can really wipe out the remnants of the six kingdoms." Ying Zheng said with a big laugh, very happy.

"father."

"From ancient times to the present, dynasties have found it difficult to last long."

"Do you know why?" Zhao Feng looked at Ying Zheng.

"It's nothing but a tyrant monarch and treacherous ministers." Ying Zheng said.

"Do not."

Zhao Feng shook his head: "Perhaps what you said is partly true, but the root cause is land annexation. If the fields of a dynasty are all controlled by aristocratic families, the lower-class people will have no land to farm and no food to eat, so they have no choice but to rebel and cause chaos."

"The reason why our Great Qin conquered the six kingdoms was not only because our elite soldiers were so arrogant, but also because the common people of the six kingdoms did not hate our Great Qin as much as one might imagine, because most of them could not survive, and their lands were annexed by the nobles. For countless common people in the six kingdoms, as long as our Great Qin destroyed their kingdoms and did not hurt the common people, they did not care about changing the court at all."

"The reason why our Great Qin has the strength to destroy the six kingdoms is not only because of the wisdom of our ancestors and the accumulation of national fortune, but also because of the transformation of the fields."

"After the military merit system, our Great Qin will nationalize the land and reward people according to their military merits, instead of letting the nobles control it. Having land to farm is what the lower-class people want."

"It can be said."

"From ancient times to the present, there have been no people who are born with the desire to rebel, only civilians who cannot survive and are forced to do so."

Zhao Feng sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Listen to what Zhao Feng said.

Ying Zheng was thoughtful for a moment, then nodded: "You are right."

“Land annexation.”

“This is a big problem at the root.”

"It's better to take advantage of the initial settlement of Shenzhou now than to wait until those nobles regain their roots and take power again."

Zhao Feng smiled and said, "This time, we will just execute him. When the land is granted in the future, I will have the inspectors increase inspections. Once we find people who don't plant the land or sell the land privately, we will immediately take it back and put them in jail."

"Haha, just watch everything."

"I can imagine that after this incident, the remnants will be even more furious."

"They are still dreaming of restoring their country and seeking revenge, but with the implementation of many national policies of our Great Qin, which have truly benefited the people, their people have long stopped missing their homeland."

"This time we lower taxes and give away land."

"Countless people will return to the Qin Dynasty."

"Unstoppable!"

Ying Zheng laughed and said.

Obviously.

When the decree is issued later, the whole world will be shaken.

For the nobles of the former countries, this was a disaster. After all, their land was taken back and they would suffer heavy losses.

But for ordinary people, it is definitely a great thing.

Those remnants of the six kingdoms were all the powerful people of the six kingdoms in the past.

What they wanted was not the so-called restoration of their country and revenge, but to restore their former power.

The future they envisioned was that the First Emperor would die and the world would be divided.

But because of the appearance of Zhao Feng, the future they imagined would almost never happen.

If this really happens, they will start a war and call on the people of their former homeland to rebuild their country.

After all.

It's just to fool the civilians.

All their thoughts of restoring their country and seeking revenge stemmed from the collapse of the Qin Dynasty and the breakdown of order.

But with the implementation of Zhao Feng's many national policies, they had no chance at all.

With the implementation of the four national policies, the Great Qin State began to unite.

Confiscate all the copper, iron, and weapons in the world, and confiscate all the books in the world.

Stop the civilians from raising soldiers and stop the civilians from causing rebellions.

It also left the remnants of the six kingdoms no chance to accumulate strength.

This time, taking over all the land in the world and giving it to all the people in the world is to win the hearts of all the people in the world and make them completely belong to the Qin Dynasty from head to toe.

This is especially true with lower taxes.

When the people of the world own land, do not have to pay high rent, and can support their families through their own hard work, they will be grateful for the grace of the Qin Dynasty and will no longer miss the so-called homeland that madly exploited and bullied them.

This is the real conspiracy.

A conspiracy to win the hearts of all the people in the world.

It was also Zhao Feng's strategy to implement humanistic unification and make the people of China completely united.

only if.

Only then can he shape the destiny and gather fortune.

From the very beginning of the implementation of the national policy, it has always been paving the way for this.

"Feng'er, do you think those nobles will be willing to accept this?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.

"The smart ones will hand it over honestly, while the stupid ones will gather together and cause trouble."

"With this imperial decree being announced to the world, perhaps there will be no need for our Great Qin army to take action, and the people of the world will decide on these nobles."

"After all, this concerns the interests of all the people in the world." Zhao Feng smiled faintly.

This time.

In addition to the fact that the Qin Dynasty possesses absolute military power, it also complies with the true will of the people.

They can't be stopped by a small number of nobles.

"in this way."

"I am really looking forward to it." Ying Zheng smiled faintly.

……

Prime Minister’s Mansion!
"Your Majesty's order."

"The prince's order."

"The nine provinces and thirty-six counties, the governors and county governors shall obey my orders."

"From today on, all the land in the world will belong to the country, except for those who are awarded titles and meritorious services by the Qin Dynasty!"

“The rest of the land, no matter who owns it or who controls it, will all belong to the state.”

“It will be distributed among all peoples.”

"The tax rate of the Great Qin has been reduced to 10% to 5%."

Holding the Tianxuan Mirror, Lu Buwei contacted the governors of the nine states and conveyed his order.

"I will obey His Majesty's will."

"I will follow the prince's order."

The voices of the nine governors came from the Tianxuan Mirror.

"Xiangbang."

"The notice has been drawn up."

“Feel free to post at any time.”

An official from the Prime Minister came before Lu Buwei.

"Announce the decree quickly."

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince's royal grace should be made known to the people of the world." Lu Buwei said immediately.

"promise."

The official withdrew immediately.

"Your Highness, you are truly a wise and virtuous crown prince."

"The previous four national policies allowed our Great Qin to implement its policies and humanities to begin to solidify."

"The appearance of the Mysterious Heavenly Mirror has allowed our Great Qin to completely control Shenzhou. Government orders can be communicated freely, and the transportation of supplies and food can be unimpeded."

"Now the national policy of collecting farmland from all over the world has appeared, coupled with the reduction of taxes."

"Once it is successfully implemented, the people of the six former countries will no longer miss their homeland."

"They will all consider themselves Qin people in their hearts."

"Da Qin, a legacy for eternity!"

Lu Buwei thought with excitement.

He has been an official for many years and has been silent for many years. How could he not know the fundamental purpose of Zhao Feng's implementation of these policies!

Everything is for the sake of world peace.

Humanity unified!
