Chapter 107: The state has hidden worries, who else can I do?
The next day.
After drafting the memorial, Fusu went to Xianyang Palace.
In the palace.
Upon hearing Fusu's request for an audience, Ying Zheng frowned slightly and summoned him directly.
"My son, Fusu, kowtows to my father." Fusu bowed before him.
Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu and said indifferently: "I heard that you have a political report? What's the matter?"
Fusu said:
"Report to Father."
"I recently discovered that Shandong counties and counties have seriously lost their land, so I went to consult some officials in charge of millet history, and drafted a memorial for my father to read."
"Loss of land?" Ying Zheng frowned and waved, and immediately a eunuch bowed down, took the memorial from Fusu's hand, and carefully brought it to the big case.
Ying Zheng pressed it with his palms, but did not look through it.
Just said:
"Tell me what you know about Lost Land."
Fusu bowed and said:
"Go back to Father."
"As far as I know, Shandong has lost its land for a long time."
"At the beginning of the Warring States Period, all countries began to innovate in order to strengthen themselves. Many countries carried out land system reforms and converted land from public to private. It was also from that time that Shandong counties began to annex land."
"What is merger?" Ying Zheng said.
Fusu said:
"Back to my father, the rich and powerful families devoured the people's land, just like the big countries swallowed up the small ones during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This is a new word that has been coined in Shandong and Guizhou."
"I just learned about it from Zhi Su Neishi."
"The current land annexation has seriously affected the survival of the lower-level Guizhou leaders, and it has become an urgent matter that the Qin Dynasty needs to solve. If it continues to be left unchecked, it will surely become the biggest disaster in the world, with endless disasters."
"Father, please take a closer look."
Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly and said calmly:
“Since Shang Yang’s reform in Great Qin, the land has been returned to state ownership.”
"When the Qin Dynasty was first established, I also announced to the world that I would appoint the people as the head of Guizhou, and wrote in the stone carved in Langya: 'The emperor's merits are to persuade people to work hard, to work in agriculture and eliminate the poor, and the head of Guizhou will be rich'."
"I have unified the world, but I do not regard the people of Shandong as slaves, but as people of Qin. The system of the world is unified, and so are the laws. In this way, the land system of the world is shared, so why did the land loss occur?
And annexing the land?”
"Elaborate."
"Since land annexation is serious, why does no one in the DPRK mention it?"
Fusu bowed and said:
"Go back to Father."
"My son doesn't know much about this matter either."
"According to Mr. Yang Quan, during the Warring States Period, the land annexation of various countries in Shandong was not serious, because at that time, the families of various countries had administrative fiefdoms, and these fields were no different from their own fields. Moreover, the war was ongoing at that time, and the countries were worried about the disruption of the territorial governance and did not dare to
It’s too blatant a merger.”
"When the world is unified, wars cease and fiefdoms are abolished, if the noble families of counties and wealthy merchants want to continue to maintain their former prosperity, they can only complete it through land annexation."
"At that time, the Qin Dynasty had an unstoppable power to unify the world. Local families and merchants also knew that the situation was over, so they rushed to annex land crazily before the world was unified."
"After the world was unified, these powerful families distorted the laws and continued to occupy the ownership of these fields. However, the local heads of Guizhou did not know the laws and did not dare to report to the officials. They could only register their own fields with the government, but in fact, the land deeds and land deeds were all in the hands of the powerful people.
.”
“The counties and counties in Shandong have not been peaceful in recent years.”
"My father issued many edicts to build roads, canals, and relocate people in Shandong counties and counties. These noble families and powerful people took the opportunity to buy arable land in Guizhou."
“The land of the people continues to flow into the rich and powerful.”
"After the Qianshou lost their own land, they became a family of servants for powerful families. Although they were called Qianshou, they were no different from slaves because they still registered their land with the government and had to pay taxes to the government every year.
Life becomes more and more difficult.”
"Since I know this, I will never tolerate it."
"The catastrophe has begun to take shape, and it will be easy if you don't notice it. Now that you have noticed it, how can I sit idly by and do nothing? Let the people's land be lost? Let the head of Guizhou become a slave? In my opinion, this loss is not just the people's farmland.
Fields are also the foundation of people’s hearts in the Qin Dynasty.”
"It's the Imperial River and Mountain!"
"My son, I sincerely request my father to investigate thoroughly!"
Ying Zheng was indifferent.
He glanced at the memorial pressed against his palm, then glanced at Fusu a few times. There was a hint of relief in his eyes, and he said:
"Now that you know this."
"Then in your opinion, how should we resolve this matter?"
The word "Fusu" was carefully considered and he said:
"My son does have some ideas."
"In the eyes of Erchen, what the court wants to do now is to test the depth of reality and reality. Erchen suggests that the shilling should be done to the head of Guizhou from the fields."
"Let the head of Guizhou report the acres of land on his own, so as to reduce the burden on the head of Guizhou."
"Secondly, send people to go deep into the counties to investigate secretly and find out the truth about the annexation. What needs to be investigated clearly is the deed for buying and selling the land."
"With these written deeds for buying and selling land, we can bring these powerful people to justice."
"Come three..."
"Join the Tingwei Mansion for secret consultation to eradicate the annexation of Xintian Law!"
"In my opinion, if you want to eradicate annexation, you can only rely on the law. However, the actual situation of land annexation in Shandong counties and counties is not yet known. We need to prepare secretly and wait until the time is right before implementing it."
"Father, please give me a clear warning."
"Instruct the leader of Guizhou to go to Shitian to investigate secretly and draw up the law." Ying Zheng's eyes darkened slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
"What you said about ordering the head of Guizhou to move from Shitian is an unprecedented initiative. You can create new governance. You have made a lot more progress than before. However, I will not issue this edict for the time being. Some decisions are not so easy to issue.
, pull one hair and move the whole body.”
"I will let the courtiers discuss your suggestion."
Fusu looked happy and said:
"I am grateful."
"My son would like to ask for orders from my father."
"My son wants to go somewhere to secretly investigate the land annexation. Please ask my father for permission."
"Checking land annexation?" Ying Zheng frowned.
Fusu said:
"I am the eldest son of my father. If such bad things are happening in the local area, if I ignore it, it is really inconsistent with my true intention. I want to go to the place and see the bad government of the place."
"If my father allows me, I would also like to try something on the local land system and try to solve the local land annexation problem."
"If it can be done, it can be promoted nationwide to relieve the suffering of Guizhou."
"If it fails, Fusu is willing to be punished."
"Father, please give me a clear warning."
Finished.
Fu Su bowed to the ground.
Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "You have dealt with a lot of political affairs in the past, but you have never been involved in farm affairs. It is dangerous for you to go to a place to secretly investigate farm affairs!"
"No!"
Fusu said:
"The country has hidden worries, who else can I do?"
"As the eldest son of my father, how can I not know the affairs of the people?"
"I have indeed never dealt with farm matters in the past, but I am not afraid. Nowadays, the loss of land has not become a common thing, and everything is still within control. I believe that as long as I go deep into the place and investigate the real situation, this matter can be solved.
Solved."
"My son, I know very well my father's caring heart."
"My son is no longer the ignorant child he used to be. He should be my father and make his own contribution to the Qin Dynasty."
