I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 80
Sure enough, Ying Zheng said as soon as he spoke: "The laws of Qin can maintain the order of the country, and the way of Confucianism and Mohism can promote people's livelihood.

The common people used to farm by themselves, but now they have to become land slaves of the landowners with meritorious military exploits, tilling the fields of the powerful people, and seeing the tax tithes.

Ladies and gentlemen, why is this? "

……

As soon as Yingzheng's words came out, all civil and military officials lowered their heads and eyes, pretending to be unknown.

Obviously, with the salary of the imperial court, the family still collects a lot of land rent, and the civil and military officials are the biggest beneficiaries of this topic.

Don't say you don't know, even if you know, you will pretend not to know.

No one would think too little of this big piece of land, let alone distribute it to civilians.

According to Li Yu, the population base determines the upper limit of the empire.

The foundation of increasing the population base depends on whether ordinary people can have enough food.

And whether they can have enough to eat is naturally a measure of whether the people have self-cultivated land in their hands.

The Great Qin has always rewarded households with military achievements and given them land. Such rewards may be applicable in the early days, but they are not applicable to the current stage of the empire.

Seeing that everyone was dumbfounded, Ying Zheng couldn't help feeling angry, pointed at Li Si casually, and asked, "Li Xiangguo, tell me."

Suddenly, Li Si thought that Ying Zheng would point Li Yulai to fire the first shot, but he didn't think it was him.

Li Si suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, as if he had been stared at naked...

Seeing hundreds of pairs of tricks from civil and military officials looking directly at him, Li Si was so distressed that he could only helplessly cupped his hands, staring at his palms and replied:

"Your Majesty, I feel that the state of good land and good land is obviously not created in a day or two."

Speaking of this, Li Si's voice stopped abruptly.

Perhaps Li Si felt that it was easier to disobey the holy will than to offend hundreds of noble ministers and meritorious families behind him.

As for Ying Zheng and Li Yu, they were stunned for a while when they heard the words, and they were speechless for a while.

……

Liszt is such an old fox...

Who doesn't know that the current situation is not created in a day or two, it is simply nonsense.

However, Ying Zheng really had no way to continue to force Li Si to speak, so he could only look at the relatives of Zhao's family among the officials.

"Lang Zhongling, tell me."

Suddenly being called by His Majesty, Zhao She only felt his body tremble, and he was sweating coldly.

But Ying Zheng's piercing eyes hurt his face, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Military merit bestows on the field..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao She only felt that someone had poked his ribs, but it was his clan brother Zhao Lai who gave him a hard elbow.

Zhao She suddenly became angry.

Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly, it seems that he can only count on Li Yu, the Immortal Lord.

Seeing Ying Zheng's gaze, Li Yu glanced around along the way.

It really is scary enough...

If eyes could kill, Li Yu would probably be riddled with holes.

cough~
What should come still has to come, otherwise why did Li Yu do it in the first place.

I saw Li Yu took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and said with the aura of a man in charge, "The Great Qin encouraged the soldiers to kill the enemy with military achievements, and rewarded them with land. There is nothing wrong with it, but everything needs to be done." There is a degree to measure, if the reward and punishment are out of balance, the system of the empire will collapse."

Seeing Li Yu chiming in, Ying Zheng's face softened a little, and he said, "How can I see that?"

Li Yu couldn't help laughing, but in the end, he and Ying Zheng set up a stage to sing, and Li Si, the prime minister, became a spectator instead.

"Although His Majesty has promised to reduce taxes and corvees, it is not a long-term solution after all. Rewarding farmland may have been feasible in the past.

But the situation is different now, the common people urgently need arable land to support themselves in order to increase the population. "

Ying Zheng nodded, and said again: "Then where did the cultivated land come from, and how will it be divided?"

Li Yu thought for a moment, then said: "Nowadays, there are two types of land sources, one is existing land, and the other is uncultivated wasteland. But no matter which one is, it needs to be owned by the state, and then according to the county The county population is evenly distributed.”

Before Li Yu could finish his words, all civil and military officials were already blown up.

"It's absolutely impossible..."

"How can this be..."

"Absolutely not..."

And so on, in short, it is impossible to take back the cake in your hand.

Yingzheng's expression changed, knowing that if the land is moved, thousands of landlords and nobles will be moved to benefit.

But who is Ying Zheng? As the highest authority in the empire, he feels that the whole world belongs to him, let alone the land.

Then he heard Yingzheng yell, and said: "What kind of noise is it? Now let's not talk about the end of the land. Everyone who eats the king's salary, should I share my worries, not to mention that the world is also the world of the people. Recently, the rebels are in power. , Could it be that you have forgotten the aphorism that if the people don’t survive, the building will collapse.”

As soon as Ying Zheng said this, the scene became quieter.

Seeing Zhi Su Nei Shi Liang Yong, he said: "Your Majesty, this method will not work. Even if I wait for hundreds of officials to take the lead, the empire has millions of troops, and there are not a small number of people who have won military merit."

As the steward of the national treasury, Liang Yong naturally has the right to speak on the topic of land.

Everyone listened rationally, and felt reasonable.

"There are not a million people who have received military service in the empire, so there are hundreds of thousands."

"If all the land of these people is confiscated, then there will be no chaos."

Li Yu smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Now I'm just looking for a solution, and I didn't say that it should be done in one go. My lords, this is too blind."

What Li Yu has done this year is obvious to all.

Lovely and silky paper, made by Li Yu.

The iron pot stir-fry is delicious and delicious, popularized by Li Yu.

Even the delicious wine in Shiweiju is exclusively brewed by Li Yu...

And precisely because of these things brought by Li Yu, under the subtle influence, some words spoken from Li Yu's mouth are far more convincing than those spoken by Ying Zheng.

"Looking at Junhou's confident appearance, I think he has a solution? Why don't you speak bluntly, but beating around the bush is uncomfortable."

Unexpectedly, Zongzheng Zhao Pu was the first to speak out, which shocked Li Yu quite a bit.

And now that Zhao Pu has spoken, Li Yu naturally no longer hides it, and then said: "The Baiyue land south of the empire, that is, the place south of the river, is mostly uncultivated rice fields. In a few days, I recruited the leaders of the Yue people to accept the rebellion, and the crisis was resolved.

Your Majesty only needs to relocate some common people who do not have arable land here, and distribute the land equally for the common people to use.

In this way, it will neither contaminate the land of the wealthy people in the Central Plains nor arouse too strong repercussions. "

After hearing Li Yu's proposal, it was carried out under the premise that the rich and the common people would not invade each other, and everyone felt a little relieved.

After all, as long as it does not affect the previous rewards, as for whether to reward military achievements in the future, let the first emperor Yingzheng have a headache.

All the officials couldn't help nodding their heads in agreement, but Zhisu Neishi Liang Yong seemed to have heard some implication, so he opened his mouth and said:

"In this way, there will be no one in the fertile land of Haomin..."

Before he finished speaking, Ying Zheng quickly interrupted: "Since the methods mentioned by the princes do not infringe on each other's interests, do you think you agree?"

Seeing that all the officials were ambiguous, Ying Zheng snorted coldly and waved away...
