Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly closed, filled with coldness, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked at Qin Luoheng with gloomy eyes and asked, "What if we don't implement this policy?"
Qin Luoheng hesitated and said:
"I personally think it's unlikely."
"Even if you, chief official, strongly recommend the First Emperor, the actual effect is actually mediocre."
"Land annexation is real."
"Since the founding of the country, the First Emperor has been determined to revolutionize the world. He is aware of the issue of land annexation. The First Emperor will not choose to sit idly by and do nothing. Your dissuasion can only be done for a period of time."
"Over time, it will become useless."
"In addition, all the ministers in the dynasty actually agreed. Even if the chief officials are re-employed by the First Emperor, they will only become more and more insignificant in the face of the overwhelming trend."
"even......"
"He will still be hated by the First Emperor."
Ying Zheng frowned.
Displeased:
"You have so little confidence in the First Emperor?"
Qin Luoheng smiled awkwardly.
This is not a matter of confidence.
This is history!
It is recorded in the history books that in December of this year (September in later generations), the First Emperor will issue an edict to "move the capital of Guizhou from Shitian".
It's May (February) now.
There is only half a year left until the edict is issued.
Given the current situation in the Qin Dynasty, those courtiers will only become more and more aggressive in their efforts to evacuate the country. On the one hand, they will expose the negative consequences of land annexation, and on the other hand, they will bluntly point out the benefits of "letting the head of Guizhou live in the countryside".
Under the auspices and strong recommendations, even the First Emperor would inevitably lose his composure and be shaken.
in history.
Qin Shihuang persisted for more than half a year with all the enemies in the dynasty, which was really not easy. However, there were "treacherous ministers" outside and "family thieves" inside. It was difficult to guard against it. After all, Qin Shihuang failed to resist and fell into the aristocratic family.
in the calculation.
It’s not that Qin Luoheng had no confidence in the First Emperor.
But the general trend of the world is like this, how easy is it to change it?
Qin Shihuang is not a god.
He is human!
Manpower will eventually be exhausted!
Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng coldly, "Even so, can I only watch them harm the Qin Dynasty, and I know that this policy is extremely poisonous, but I can only let it go?"
"Then what's the difference between me and these traitors?"
Qin Luoheng scratched his head.
He smiled bitterly and said:
"Chief officer, don't be so excited."
"Now the problem is not with you, the problem is with the First Emperor. If the First Emperor has listened to the slander, no matter how much you say, it will not help. If the First Emperor does not listen, then there is still room for maneuver."
"As ministers, chief officials only need to fulfill their duties loyally."
"As for the rest."
"The decision-making power is not in your hands."
"It's useless for you to be anxious here."
"Moreover."
"After the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties established the country, they also faced the crisis of founding the country."
"After the Queen of Xia established the Xia Dynasty, there was a rebellion by the Youhu family. After King Tang of Shang established the Shang Dynasty, there was the Rebellion of the Nine Generations. After the Emperor Ji Fa of Zhou established the Zhou Dynasty, there was the Rebellion of the Three Supervisors."
"The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties all resolved the crises after the establishment of their respective countries and were able to continue their kingdoms for hundreds of years."
"The same goes for Da Qin."
"The Xia Dynasty solved the dispute between the abdication system and the hereditary system, the Shang Dynasty solved the problem of the inheritance system, and the Zhou Dynasty solved the problem of the previous dynasty's chaos."
"What Da Qin wants to solve is the land issue."
"If you can succeed, you will prosper!"
"If you can't, the Qin Dynasty will perish!!!"
Speaking of which.
Qin Luoheng was about to speak but stopped.
That's not what he actually wanted to say.
To Da Qin, the land issue was just a minor disease.
As long as Qin Shihuang takes less action, the Qin Dynasty can continue for at least hundreds of years.
The core issue after the founding of the Qin Dynasty was actually the issue of the rise of emerging families and powerful powers.
These aristocratic families and powerful people have now begun to take shape. They have begun to use various methods and means to compete with the court, fight for power, and continuously expand their power and interests.
The court was still unaware.
This is actually an unsolvable problem.
Qin Luoheng hesitated for a moment and did not choose to say it.
Not only was the court unaware of this problem, but the noble families and powerful men themselves were also unaware of it.
The establishment of Da Qin was too short.
Under the legal system, too many things are covered up.
Before the unification of the world, the major families and powerful people were still single-minded and dedicated to the public good, and they were offering suggestions and advice to the Qin Dynasty. Their current struggle for power and profit is completely subconscious.
Wait until their consciousness fully awakens.
Da Qin was completely in danger.
but......
Historically, Great Qin did not survive until that time.
I don’t know whether this should be considered lucky or unfortunate.
Hear the words.
Ying Zheng's face was solemn.
Qin Luoheng's words woke him up.
After the founding of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, no dynasty really had smooth sailing. After the founding of the three dynasties, they all faced the danger of near-annihilation. The Youhu Rebellion of the Xia Dynasty, the Rebellion of the Ninth Dynasty of the Shang Dynasty, and the Rebellion of the Three Supervisors of the Zhou Dynasty
.
The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties survived the crisis and thus continued the country for hundreds of years.
If he had not survived, I am afraid that the country would have perished at that time.
The current situation of courtiers admonishing the Qin Dynasty is in danger.
If it can be passed safely, Da Qin will be like the Three Dynasties and continue the country for hundreds of years. If it is not passed, Da Qin may be in danger of subjugation!
Ying Zheng stands tall and tall.
He said coldly:
"If you want to destroy our great Qin Dynasty, you are just talking about dreams!"
"Whether it is a court official or a treacherous person who dares to harm the Qin Dynasty, he will be killed without mercy!"
"If I didn't know your thoughts, I might have let you succeed, but now, you can't even think of succeeding again!"
See the situation.
Qin Luoheng's eyelids twitched.
He discovered it.
Chief Qin has a real sense of justice.
Moreover, Chief Qin has made such a statement, so if he doesn't say something, it would really be a bit unjustifiable.
Qin Luoheng coughed lightly and said:
"Chief official."
"Land annexation is actually not that difficult to solve."
"You are a fool of the authorities."
"Huh?" Ying Zheng turned around, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked, "Didn't you say before that this was the general trend? How can it be solved now?"
Qin Luoheng smiled awkwardly.
argued:
"Isn't this just trying to follow the crowd?"
"But you said that, I can't really ignore it."
"Tell me about it." Ying Zheng snorted coldly.
Qin Luoheng smiled and said:
"Chief officer, don't you think this happened suddenly?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ying Zheng frowned and said, "Why do you say that?"
Qin Luoheng said in a deep voice:
"Logically speaking, the situation of land annexation was most acute when the country was founded."
"Because at that time, the Qian Shou in Shandong counties did not know the land system of Qin Dynasty. It was easy for local aristocratic families and powerful people to take advantage of the local chaos to defraud the Qian Shou's land, or to buy and sell it by force."
"Then here's the problem."
"Since they have defrauded the property in Qianshou."
"Why bother?"
"They have no need at all and can continue to maintain the status quo. People who have lost their land do not dare to say that they have no land anyway, and local families and powerful people can continue to hide it and not report it, so that they can continue to pay less rent and taxes."
"But why do they want to take the initiative to annex the land?"
"Aren't they afraid of official investigations?"
"Still you feel that you have occupied too much fertile land, and would you like to take the initiative to pay more money and food to contribute more to the great cause of Da Qin?"
"Of course not."
“Everything actually happens for a reason!”
"Because of the law!" Ying Zheng suddenly said.
Qin Luoheng nodded.
"That's right."
"It's because of the law."
"Local aristocratic families and powerful people have indeed occupied a lot of land, but in fact it is illegal. The land is still nominally in the name of the head of Guizhou. They just signed an illegal land deed."
"The reason why no one exposed it in the past few years is mainly because the head of Guizhou does not know the law."
"They don't know that the contract they signed is illegal."
"but......"
"They don't always know."
"Five years after the founding of the Qin Dynasty, every county and county had judges and legal officials. Their main task was to popularize the law in the local areas. Five years was enough for the local heads of Guizhou to understand certain laws, although they did not know too many laws.
, but I have a more or less understanding.”
"Tian Lu has always been the focus of the head of Guizhou!"
"When judges and legal officials talk about land laws, they will definitely talk about the Qin land system."
"so."
"The head of Guizhou knows the law!"
"At first, because there were few people who knew the law, it didn't have much impact. But as time goes by, more and more Guizhou leaders know about the Da Qin land system and Da Qin laws. After they know that the contract they were forced to sign is invalid, they will definitely
Will start fighting."
"They may even start suing the authorities!"
"And this is obviously not what the powerful family wants to see."
"As time goes by, more and more people will sue the officials. Even if powerful family members collude with local officials, in the long run, they will never be able to withstand the fire."
"So someone is anxious."
"How can you let a duck fly when it reaches its beak?"
"The noble families and powerful people began to think of ways to legalize the fields they occupied. However, the Qin Dynasty is a country ruled by law. If you want to legalize illegal things, you need a legal principle. Therefore, the courtiers continued to advise and 'make the head of Guizhou realize his own truth.
Tian' is a policy that provides legal basis for mergers."
"That's the main reason."
"but."
"The authorities are obsessed with it."
"The First Emperor, like the chief officials, saw that the civil land annexation was so serious, so he subconsciously wanted to solve it. Little did he know that he fell into the treacherous tricks of the wealthy families and powerful people."
"Local land annexation is indeed serious."
"But it is the local families and powerful people who are anxious, definitely not the imperial court and the First Emperor."
"Maintaining the status quo."
"This is the way the court should handle things."
"It's just that some courtiers hijacked the court for their own selfish interests, and other courtiers who didn't know the truth got involved when they saw how bad the land annexation was, and even kidnapped the First Emperor. But this matter was from beginning to end.
It's a calculation.
"When the chief official became interested in him, he was already in the trap."
"I just didn't realize it."
"Chief officials think carefully about whether this incident happened for no reason, but it suddenly broke out. Overnight, it became a worry in the Qin Dynasty. However, land annexation has been around for a long time. Why didn't any officials do this before?
Passionate?”
Ying Zheng's eyes darkened.
He thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed what Qin Luoheng said.
At first, there were only a few local officials who went to Shangshu, but later overnight many courtiers began to follow suit, but it was Fusu who pushed this matter to the top.
After Fusu ascended the throne.
There is an endless stream of ministers in the middle and upper reaches of the court.
