Chapter 109: If you want to disrupt our Qin Dynasty, you are just talking about dreams!
Wang Wan said in a deep voice:
"I have also heard about the loss of land."
"Since ancient times, land issues have been a major matter of state affairs."
"In the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, no one was allowed to change their land, but at that time, each family said they were not allowed to change their land, and the people were like stagnant water. Therefore, when the age of great strife began, the practice of buying and selling land began, and it soon became popular all over the world.
"
"It says: Make the people energetic!"
"But then."
"Now that there is a law on land sales, the disaster of mergers is inevitable. Eradication of mergers is like driving fish out of the abyss. It cannot be done overnight."
"King Mu Xian also had some intentions back then."
"Fortunately, Lord Shang stopped him in time and enacted a new law."
"Even so, there were many old clans who wanted to stop the reform. In the end, Lord Shang stopped his words and deeds and killed thousands of old clans who were dissatisfied with the new law. Only then could the land system be implemented and the land of Qin be controlled.
The wind of buying and selling.”
"The Great Conflict of Two Hundred Years."
"The other six countries have all changed the land system, but the "enablement of the people" mentioned in the reform at that time has never been reflected. In terms of grain output, Qin is the best in the world, and in terms of people's vitality, Qin is also the best in the world.
Finally, no one in the world can match him."
"The Qin Dynasty maintained the old system, but it was even better."
"Looking at the reforms in various countries, it is not the princes of each country who are the most powerful in the end, but the major families and powerful people within each country. The rumors that "three generations are not allowed to change their land, and the people are like stagnant water" may be a conspiracy, but it is just in Shandong
The princes of various countries did not notice it, but fell into it.”
"In those days, His Majesty moved powerful men from Shandong to Xianyang."
"Some of them have been in Xianyang for nearly ten years, and the least have been five or six years."
"But these families still maintain the luxurious life in the past. Even if they have a strong family background, they are not so luxurious. For so many years, with so many people in the family, no one has cut back on food or clothing. Isn't it strange?"
"In my opinion, the reason why they can continue to spend extravagantly is probably because they rely on the civilian land they annexed in the past."
"In recent years, many counties and counties have actually submitted letters."
“The number of local land abuse cases is increasing day by day. Many unjust cases are related to land sales, and there have even been open seizures of land. However, every time I send people to investigate deeply, these cases immediately become overt and covert, and cannot be investigated at all.
Go down."
"It's just that at that time, the court was implementing a new policy, and most of the courtiers were focused on the restoration of the Six Kingdoms and the foreign invasions of the Xiongnu and Baiyue. Few people paid attention to the land issue, so this matter rarely attracted attention, and I subconsciously ignored it.
"
"At that time, His Majesty was determined to act as one in the world!"
"Even if the books are written in the same text, the carriages are on the same track, the degrees are in the same system, the travels are in the same order, the land is in the same region, etc., the land system must also be unified, and they are all the same as the land system in Da Qin. Therefore, the land system in Shandong counties should also prohibit buying and selling.
"
"I believed at that time that the land system would also be unified in a few years."
"The sale and purchase of land shall also be terminated."
"Looking back now, it is indeed my fault that I was negligent."
"Land trading has been prevalent in various parts of Shandong for more than two hundred years. This can be changed overnight? What's more, the powerful families in Shandong are still there, how can they let it go?"
"This petition may not be groundless."
"Your Majesty, you should be very careful."
Ying Zheng's eyes darkened slightly, and he frowned and said, "What do you think the old prime minister thinks they want?"
Wang Wan said:
"I don't know very well."
"I think it's just a test."
"Now that Da Qin's new policy is becoming more and more popular among the people, some of those who have benefited may be unable to sit still and want to take this opportunity to test His Majesty's mind."
"But Da Qin's land system is here."
"If they really want to achieve something, they should want to change the land system."
A cold light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.
The Qin Dynasty was stronger than the law, and what was practiced under the law was military merit and nobility. The basis of the military merit and nobility system was the land. If the land system was changed, the military merit and nobility system would lose its role.
Da Qin will also fall into chaos.
Ying Zheng has not taken many actions in recent years, but has deliberately suppressed the restoration forces of the Six Kingdoms, but now he has a faint feeling that a storm is coming.
suddenly.
He remembered the three suggestions given by Fusu.
Among them was the drafting of the New Land Law, which was just for the purpose of eradicating annexation.
"If you want to disrupt our great Qin Dynasty, you are talking about idiots' dreams!" Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "But since this matter has been made clear, if you remain unmoved and let it go, wouldn't you be condoning them?"
"Many ministers in the DPRK are now giving advice, but their intentions are not clear."
"What does the Prime Minister think should be done?"
Wang Wan hesitated and said:
"I don't know."
"But this matter must be resolved."
"If we continue to let things go, I'm afraid Shandong counties will soon be in chaos, and then they may fall into their trap. This matter will not be easy to deal with."
"I can't think of a way at the moment."
Ying Zheng nodded.
He also knew that it was really difficult for Wang Wan to suddenly think of countermeasures.
He didn't force it either.
The monarch and his ministers discussed some other important matters.
When Wang Wan wanted to retire, Ying Zheng shouted loudly outside the palace: "Come, go to the Young Mansion and bring a piece of medicinal ink to the old prime minister."
soon.
There was a eunuch holding a piece of medicinal ink and offering it.
Ying Zhengdao:
"Old Prime Minister, I know that you intend to retire, but now the court still needs you to preside over it. I know that Old Prime Minister is exhausted, so I will give you a piece of medicinal ink for nourishment."
Wang Wan was stunned.
He took the piece of calligraphy blankly.
Surprised and said:
"Your Majesty, Yaomo?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said:
"This is made by my young master. It is of some benefit to the body."
"Old Prime Minister has worked hard and achieved great results. It is really difficult to continue to live in the same way as in the past. I do not ask the old Prime Minister to work hard, but I hope the old Prime Minister can stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a longer time."
"Spare more of my worries."
Wang Wan bowed his head and said, "I would like to thank your Majesty for the treasure."
Smelling this calligraphy treasure that exuded a faint medicinal fragrance, Wang Wan couldn't help but feel refreshed, and subconsciously sighed: "The eldest son is really loyal, filial, and righteous."
Ying Zheng shook his head.
"This is not from Fusu."
Wang Wan was stunned.
But he didn't say any more.
He bowed to Ying Zheng and then slowly withdrew.
Inside the palace.
Ying Zheng sat on it.
He picked up the bamboo slips presented by Fusu, with a solemn look in his eyes.
He said coldly:
"Do you really think of me as the king of the Six Kingdoms?"
"Back then, the law of buying and selling land was implemented in the Six Kingdoms, which caused the Six Kingdoms to continue to weaken. Now they want to repeat the old tricks and make Great Qin make the same mistakes?"
"Mi Chen!"
"There are also these Chu officials."
"Your hands are stretched a little too far."
"besides......"
"Fusu!"
Mentioned Fusu.
A hint of gloom flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.
Fusu was an upright man with strong abilities, but he was deeply influenced by Confucianism and his relatives from the Chu family. He sometimes lacked independent opinions and his character was a bit weak.
He was originally very optimistic about Fusu.
It's just that Fusu has made him more and more disappointed in these years.
Looking at the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng shook his head. He picked up a blank bamboo slip, agreed to Fusu's request, and allowed Fusu to go to Chu to secretly investigate the truth and act expediently.
