Hear the words.
Qin Luoheng's eyes were slightly cold.
He naturally knows how terrifying this number is.
After the Qin Dynasty destroyed Chu, it divided the land of Chu and Yue into eleven counties. The entire Chu and Yue had only 60 million acres of civilian land. At present, the large and small nobles of Chu directly occupied more than 30 million acres. In addition, local powerful and local
Because of the corruption of officials, the land that truly belongs to the people accounts for less than 20% to 30% of the eleven counties in Chu.
This is truly shocking.
Qin Luoheng looked at Meng Yi and said coldly: "Have these fields been registered now?"
Meng Yi cupped his hands and said, "Sir, after this month's sorting, everything has been summarized and put into a register. All these fields were acquired by thieves, and according to the law, they are all classified as public fields."
Meng Yi just finished speaking.
Xiao He couldn't help but said:
"Meng Zuojian, the subordinates have different views on this."
"These fields are indeed illegally obtained by the nobles, but they all come from local people. If all the fields are taken over, it may cause great turmoil in the local area."
"Besides."
"Many people in Chu land work as servants in farming."
"If the fields are taken back, they may not be able to harvest this year. If they wait for the government to distribute the fields again, I don't know when. In addition, they have been cultivating these fields for some time. The fields are indeed illegally obtained, but
The harvest will be ready in less than two months."
"This is absolutely unacceptable!"
"I sincerely request you to temporarily hand over these fields to the people, and increase the rent accordingly to make up for the court's losses."
"Master, please think about it."
Meng Yi said coldly:
"The law cannot be abolished."
"The nobles of Chu are seizing the fields. Now the court is punishing traitors. All these illegal gains should be returned to the court. How can we tolerate any personal feelings? And I know your considerations. Although these fields are to be returned to the court, they will still be rented in the end.
go out."
“This process is inevitable!”
Meng Yi did not let go at all.
Qin Luoheng frowned slightly. He naturally knew what the two were arguing about. It was already May, and in less than two months, it would be the harvest season. This time the court had harvested such a large field. If all of it belonged to the court,
It will definitely greatly expand the imperial palace.
This is the food for half of Chu.
But if the imperial court takes over these fields, it also means that many people who farm the fields have worked in vain for more than half a year, and may even have no harvest. This is tantamount to letting these people die.
Meng Yi's opinion is very firm.
That is, there are laws and regulations, and laws must be followed.
Everything in the Qin Dynasty must be carried out in accordance with laws and regulations. These fields are illegally obtained, so they will naturally be confiscated to the court, and then the court will handle them uniformly. And even if the court really wants to deal with it, it will basically lease these fields and hand them over to the local Guizhou chief for management.
Meng Yi insisted on completing this process.
This is understandable.
But Xiao He worked in the local area and knew that the water in the local area was deep. It would not be as easy as Meng Yi thought. How could it be so easy to redistribute the fields? Some fields have high yields, and some fields have poor harvests. What will happen then?
points? How can nothing happen?
And more importantly.
It would take a long time for the imperial court to issue the administrative order and implement it at the local level. If the local government forces it to wait until after the autumn harvest, many servants will be left without a harvest.
Chaos?
Therefore, Xiao He suggested that the fields should be temporarily returned to the capital of Guizhou.
Let them continue farming until the autumn harvest is completed, then collect a little more tax, and then allocate additional fields. This will also play a role in appeasing the local people and reduce man-made disasters.
Both of their ideas are not wrong.
Just the angle is different.
Meng Yi refused to let go, Xiao He also argued with reason, and the two were in a stalemate for a while.
Qin Luoheng stood up slowly.
The two of them also fell silent instantly.
Qin Luoheng said: "The fields are related to the livelihood of millions of people in Chu. I have to think twice. In my opinion, whether it is servant farming or Guizhou head, they are all the people of the Qin Dynasty. It is impossible for the Qin Dynasty to care about their life and death."
"But what Meng Yi said is not unreasonable."
"No rules no standards."
"It would be a violation of the law to just hand over the land to Guizhou servants for farming, and since they bought and sold the land in the first place, they should bear a certain price."
Hear the words.
Xiao He's expression suddenly changed.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade, Qin Luoheng raised his hand and stopped Xiao He from speaking.
He continued:
"But human life is the most important thing."
"Chen Ping, write a memorial for me and submit it to His Majesty the First Emperor."
Chen Ping quickly agreed.
Qin Luoheng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Forget it, I will write it myself later."
"The fields will definitely be divided!"
"And it should be divided clearly and clearly."
"The imperial court will not increase taxes."
“That’s how much the annual tax is.”
"I was ordered to come to Chu District this time to solve the problem of Chu District nobles and also to solve the land annexation problem in Chu District."
"For now."
"There is indeed something wrong with Da Qin's land policy."
"At least."
"My brother's promotion of 'making the head of Guizhou independent of Shitian' in the Chu region has been proven to be wrong. Not only did it fail to curb the land annexation in the Chu region, but it gave the nobles powerful legal principles and intensified local land annexation."
"thus......"
"Making Guizhou head from Shitian must be abolished!!!"
As soon as Qin Luoheng finished speaking, the entire audience was in solemn silence. Everyone stared wide-eyed and did not dare to speak. Even Tao She, Meng Yi and others lowered their heads, with uncertain looks in their eyes.
No matter how Xiao He and Meng Yi argued before, they only argued about the time issue when allocating the fields, and they did not dare to really involve the fields themselves.
Because if Tian Zheng is mentioned, the eldest son will undoubtedly be involved.
How dare they get involved in this?
It's just that they all know the stakes involved, and they don't believe that the tenth young master doesn't understand, but the tenth young master seems not to care, and speaks out directly, and also bluntly says that he wants to abolish the "making the head of Guizhou come from the field" that the eldest son strongly advocated.
This is really disturbing.
Qin Luoheng stood tall, with his back to everyone.
Continued:
“Not only must the ‘field trial policy’ in Chu be abolished, but we must also return to the right path and return all the fields to public ownership, and then the imperial court will distribute the fields.”

"As for the eldest brother."
"I will explain it myself in the future."
"With the magnanimity of a brother, he will surely understand my considerations."
"Besides, is the reason why Great Qin mobilized its troops this time just to kill Xiaoxiao from Chu?"
Hear the words.
Everyone's eyes showed confusion.
Chen Ping hesitated and said, "Master, does he have other ideas?"
Qin Luoheng turned around, his eyes full of sharpness and indifference, and solemnly said: "Evil must be eradicated!!!"
"What Da Qin wants to create is a true country and family."
"This time the Qin Dynasty raised tens of thousands of troops and wiped out all the nobles of the Chu region. Except for the Xiang family who fled early, the nobles of the Chu region are in panic all day long. But is this enough?"
"Is this the end?"
"in my opinion."
"The Chu Di incident is far from over."
"The Qin Dynasty has never recognized any nobles. It has never recognized it before, and it will never recognize it in the future. Now the nobles of Chu are all being killed. But the nobles are like spring grass. They cannot be killed or eliminated. Why?"
"Just because there is an environment where weeds grow on this land."
"Now that I'm here this time and since I've done what I've done, I'll do it more simply and completely burn the soil of the nobles in the Chu region, so that the Chu region will become a desperate place for the nobles, and the ambitions and environment of the nobles will no longer grow in the future."
Upon hearing Qin Luoheng's words, the faces of everyone present changed with shock.
For a while.
They even felt that Qin Luoheng was a little strange.
Also very crazy.
But they had no idea what Qin Luoheng wanted to do, and they just felt a palpitation in their hearts.
Meng Yi said in a concentrated voice: "What do you want, Master?"
Qin Luoheng sneered and said: "I want to light a fire in Chu to burn away the seeds of the growth of the nobles in Chu, so that this land can be completely integrated into the Qin Dynasty."
"noble?!"
"It's past time!"
"Nowadays, the nobles of Chu are like lost dogs, but they still have a chance to come back. Repeating this cycle is not what Qin wants, nor what the people of Chu want. Therefore, the evil must be eradicated, and the nobles of Chu must be completely killed."
"That's all."
"Only can we create a real country."
"Only in this way can the land of Chu be completely integrated into the Qin Dynasty."
"No distinction between each other!"
"Perhaps in your opinion, if you wipe out all the nobles of Chu, the nobles of Chu are destined to become a thing of the past. But even if the Song and Tang families are eradicated, new nobles will still appear. These people uphold the concept of the Three Generations and are destined to compete with the Qin Dynasty.
Not a stranger."
"The nobility is destined to become a source of unrest again."
"Da Qin doesn't want to and doesn't want to spend time organizing these things."
"The reason why the nobility has a place is that too many people believe in it. I don't know how many people in the local area are the lackeys of the aristocracy and are willing to serve. This situation must be broken. The local people should not be aristocrats in the eyes of the people, they are the people of the Qin Dynasty.
"
"It shouldn't be a remnant of the third generation!"
Chen Ping took a deep breath, his eyes serious.
He said in a deep voice:
"What are you going to do, Master?"
Qin Luoheng said with a grim smile: "The foundation of the nobility is the fields. This time the imperial court has harvested a large amount of fields. Now it is taken from the people and used for the people. In the name of the fields, the land policy of Great Qin has been thoroughly rooted in the hearts of the people, and the nobility has been completely cut off.
source of."
"The fields can be given to local people."
"But the local people must accept it as Qin people."
"And you must raise your voice to the people of Qin and claim the land in front of other people."
"I want them to clearly understand that the people who gave them the land were not the Chu people or the nobles, but the Qin Dynasty."
"Let them know who they are!"
"Times are different!"
Hear the words.
Meng Yi was thoughtful.
But Xiao He frowned slightly.
Xiao He said: "Young Master's idea is very good, but it does not have much impact on the nobles. The court also distributed the fields to the head of Guizhou, but in the end they were still forcibly occupied by the nobles."
"and......"
Xiao He hesitated for a moment.
He slowly said: "Recently, many officials have written letters requesting the release of some nobles. This time, Xiang and others attempted to murder the young master. Although it is an unpardonable crime, not all nobles were involved, so there is considerable discussion among the people.
