Liu Tan was in a good mood now that he had solved his worries. As the king of a kingdom, he needs to consider all aspects, which is normal in itself.
Now facing his father's question, he naturally knows.
This is his father testing him.
"Go back to my father!" Liu Tan replied: "My son believes that when the Qin Dynasty was first established, it should be stable. In addition to implementing established national policies, the next step should be to improve people's livelihood and rest with the people."
"Yeah!" Liu Chan nodded slightly when he heard this: "Keep talking."
Liu Tan continued: "There were many slaves in the Roman Empire. Now that they have all returned to the common people, they first need to solve their livelihood problems so that they can create their homeland."
...
Liu Tan talked a lot in a long speech, and I have to say that he did use his brain on it. It is also an issue that a monarch should consider.
Most of what he talked about focused on people's livelihood.
Although the Roman Empire was a republic, it was also a slave country. Now that the Great Qin Kingdom was established, the slavery system was abolished. Next, millions or even more civilians will appear in the Great Qin Kingdom.
They are naturally happy to have regained their freedom.
However, the same problem also faces the rulers.
Livelihood——
That’s right, it’s livelihood.
Before that, they were slaves, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation were all provided by their slave owners. They only needed to obey the slave owners' arrangements and work, and they would have food and houses to live in.
But——
Now that they have regained their freedom, they have to rely on themselves to create their own food, clothing, housing and transportation. They are different from those who are ordinary people.
For ordinary people, their lives will not change in a short time.
They won't worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation for the time being. Maybe after a period of time, their lives will get better, but what about these slaves?
After regaining their freedom, what will they eat and where will they live?
This is the issue Liu Tan is most concerned about.
As the monarch of a kingdom, Liu Chan was very satisfied that he could think of these basic issues.
Liu Tan said that he decided to open granaries in various parts of the Qin Kingdom within a year from now to solve the problem of food for the people and give them a transitional time.
At the same time, in order to prevent other people who are originally common people from feeling that the court only provides relief to slaves and ignores them.
This is what is called fairness.
Liu Tan decided that ordinary residents who were originally common people would only need to pay 20% of the grain tax to the court in the next three years. From slaves to residents of the common people, the grain tax would be reduced or exempted in the first year, but starting from the second year, they would need to pay the full amount in accordance with the regulations.
30% is turned over.
This is also done to let the people of Da Qin see that there is still fairness to be found in Da Qin, and even ordinary people, the court attaches great importance to it.
Liu Chan didn't bother to think about whether it was fair to do so. For now, it seemed that this was a feasible method. At least when the court was rescuing slaves who were transformed into civilians, it would not make those who were ordinary people feel unfair.
, or take the opportunity to pretend to receive relief materials.
"Yeah!" Liu Chan nodded and said, "This method is feasible!"
"Thank you, Father!" Of course Liu Tan was very happy to receive his father's approval.
As long as all the land is nationalized in a short period of time, and then distributed equally to the people of the world, so that the people have fields, it will take at most three to five years for the Great Qin Kingdom to be on track.
After talking about people's livelihood, Liu Chan suddenly said: "Tan'er, in order to ensure long-term peace and stability in the Qin Dynasty, please remember that in addition to these people's livelihood plans, there is one more important thing."
"Father, please make it clear!" Liu Tan became interested.
"Fusion!" Liu Chan said two words firmly, which made Liu Tan stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand, and asked: "What is fusion?"
"Although Da Qin has now been established, in the eyes of the people of Da Qin, your king is a foreigner after all, a Han from the east." Liu Chan said.
"!!!"
Liu Tan was suddenly shocked. He really had never thought about this matter.
"Father!" Liu Tan looked a little panicked.
He didn't know much about the Romans, but the Han people in the Central Plains had a racial belief.
As the saying goes, those who are not of my race must have different minds.
It is inevitable that there will be grudges between different races.
"That's why my father said, we need to integrate!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "If you want the people of Da Qin to have no dissent, or let the court rule more calmly, in addition to sincerely thinking about them, the court also needs to constantly care about them.
They merge."
"Han, Tang, Ming, and Qin!" Liu Chan looked at Liu Tan and said: "From now on, the four countries will strengthen exchanges, encourage intermarriage, and let the Han people come to the Tang, Ming, and Qin to do business and settle down, and let the Tang,
The people of the Ming Dynasty and Qin Dynasty went to the Han Dynasty to do business and settle down, allowing the people of the four countries to integrate with each other."
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Liu Tan said happily: "Father is wise, in this way, it won't be long before the people of the four countries have me among you, and you among me."
"That's right!" Liu Chan nodded and said: "If you want the four kingdoms of Han, Tang, Ming and Qin to last forever, you must make the four kingdoms form a whole and let the people of the four kingdoms be indistinguishable from each other."
"My father's plan is very wise. I will obey my father's will!" Liu Tan said excitedly: "I will issue this decree tomorrow."
"No!" Liu Chan said.
"Why?" Liu Tan was stunned.
Hearing this, Liu Chan rolled his eyes at Liu Tan and said, "Should you change your impatient temper?" Then he glared at his son and then said, "This matter cannot be rushed, it must be done step by step. Now you Let the people stabilize first."
"No!" Liu Tan said.
I thought what my father said made sense, so I immediately decided to implement it, but unexpectedly, my father poured cold water on me.
Seeing Liu Tan's somewhat discouraged look, Liu Chan added: "Next, my father will tell Chen'er, Rui'er, and Yan'er about this. First, let the people of the Han, Tang, and Ming Dynasties blend together, and also let them enter Da Qin, when more people from the Three Kingdoms come, you can naturally give them some preferential treatment policies and let them stay in Da Qin, and then encourage the people of Da Qin to do business with the other three countries."
Liu Chan was already thinking about this matter when he was conquering Rome in the west.
After the destruction of the Roman Empire, the territory ruled by the Han people spanned the Eurasian continent. The area was too vast. There might not be any trouble in the short term, but over time, the four countries might fall apart.
This is not the result Liu Chan wants.
He also hopes that the huge empire he has built can last for a longer time.
Now that the Qin Kingdom has been established, we should think about this matter now, so that the country established by the Han people can last forever.
This is Liu Chan's ideal, and he is now working hard in this direction.
For example, the Han, Tang, Ming and Qin Dynasties fully promoted the Chinese language. This was the first step to realize this ideal. When one day, the Han people, Yuezhi people, Persians, Romans, etc. all use Chinese, and they will only use Chinese, and they will communicate with each other. communication will be closer.
If the people of the four countries are allowed to integrate with each other, as time goes by, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years later, the world will have fewer ill feelings and more harmonious coexistence.
"Go back and rest!"
Unknowingly, the father and son had been chatting until late at night. Liu Chan ended the conversation. Before Liu Tan left, Liu Chan said with a smile: "Father will stay in Rome for the first half of the year and return to the Central Plains after half a year. You will govern the Qin Kingdom well. ."
