Chapter 945 The son-in-law invites the father and the king to revise the golden law!
"Since ancient times, the royal power has not been extended to the county. The place has always been the basis of clans and powerful people. Even since Lord Shang, all the way to my father, our Great Qin court has implemented the royal family's control over the world, and has only achieved the gradual control of the county by the royal power.
.”
"However, the imperial court's control over the township is too poor. Even though it is Da Qin who controls the township on the surface, it is the Jianghu forces, these clans and powerful men who really control the township."
Ying Gao looked at Ying Zheng and said in a solemn tone: "Now our Great Qin is annexing the world and fighting wars, so we don't have to pay attention to this. But in the future, my father will unify the six kingdoms of Shandong. At that time, my Great Qin's imperial power will rely on family changes.
For the people.”
"So, control must suppress the Jianghu forces!"
"Um."
Nodding slightly, Ying Zheng smiled at Ying Gao and said: "What you said, Gu Ye has discovered, but as you said, the most important thing for us in Great Qin right now is to unify the six countries of Shandong."
"Any problem, any thing, needs to make way for this matter."
Hearing this, Ying Gao was shocked. He had always paid no attention to Ying Zheng's influence on Jianghu, local powerful and clan forces, but unexpectedly, he had always cared about it.
The reason why he didn't reveal it was entirely because the time was not ripe, not because he didn't notice it.
At this thought, Ying Gao couldn't help but bow solemnly to Ying Zheng and said: "Father, the King Mingjian, my son, I bow to you——!"
"I will pay my respects to the king. The king has been here for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty has been around for ten thousand years——!" At the same time, Li Si and others arrived, bowed solemnly to Ying Zheng, and said.
"My dear friends, there is no need to be polite!" Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Si and others to take a seat: "Sit down!"
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
Standing up, Li Si and others raised their hands towards Ying Gaoyi and said, "I have seen the champion!"
"Ying Gao has met you all!"
...........
After some greetings, Li Si and others all sat down. Ying Zhengwang took a sip of tea, looked squarely at the ministers, and said, "I have summoned you all here today just for one thing."
"That is the development plan for Xiazhou and Liangzhou that Young Master Gao mentioned. Dear friends, you also know that the imperial court will go to war and annex the six countries. This means that Guanzhong will not be able to provide money and food to Xiazhou and Liangzhou in the future.
develop."
"Even when the war has reached a critical stage, Xiazhou and Liangzhou still need to provide support. Regarding the development of Liangzhou and Xiazhou, if you have any ideas, you can speak out!"
Ying Zheng knew that the confrontation between Da Qin and South Korea had already begun. Now he needed to completely resolve the hidden dangers within Da Qin before the spring of next year, and then go all out to deal with South Korea.
A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength.
This was especially true during the national war, so Yingzheng planned to send envoys to Korea to start his unification after settling Xiazhou and Liangzhou.
"Your Majesty, although there are iron ore veins in Liangzhou and Xiazhou, and there are even salt lakes in Liangzhou, these are official camps of the imperial court. In addition, both places are sparsely populated and vast, so it is difficult to develop.
.”
Li Si raised his hand towards Ying Zheng and said, "Even if we move the old Qin people, it is difficult to complete. To develop a place, we need the support of the population and the court."
"I believe that within ten years, both Liangzhou and Xiazhou will need financial support from the imperial court."
Li Si's words were like a basin of cold water poured directly on the heads of Ying Zheng and the ministers. They all knew that what Li Si said was correct. Liangzhou and Xiazhou simply lacked the foundation to develop in a short period of time.
After a while, Ying Zheng saw that the atmosphere in the study was dull. The ministers could not think of a good solution for a while, so they had to face Ying Gao and said: "Marquis Champion, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Ying Gao couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew in his heart that none of the powerful people in Da Qin was a fool. The reason why they couldn't think of it was just because the times limited their vision.
"Father, in addition to the population, people from the Central Plains will inevitably migrate to places such as Xiazhou and Liangzhou to mix the population. At least we must ensure that the population in both places is dominated by people from the Central Plains."
"But I do not recommend that the people of the Qin Dynasty be immigrated. In my opinion, we can continue to immigrate people from the six countries during the war, encourage them with various policies, and then immigrate the people of the six countries to Xiazhou and other places.
.”
"Of course, this is a step-by-step process. The most important thing at the moment is the development of Liangzhou and Xiazhou. I think the main focus should be on the development of merchants."
"The local population is insufficient, which means that we cannot develop agriculture at all to make the local area prosperous. The only development that does not rely on population is merchants."
"But if we want to develop merchants, we need to change the current Jinbu rule in Daqin and further liberalize merchants."
"Only in this way can Liangzhou and Xiazhou develop in a short period of time."
Ying Gao's remarks made the entire Xianyang Palace study fall into silence. It was obvious that they did not agree.
Great Qin has always put emphasis on the basics and suppresses the weak. They look down on the merchants, so how can they let the merchants raise their heads? At this moment, Li Si and others did not speak, just because the person who spoke was Ying Gao.
Moreover, they have no plan to make Liangzhou and Xiazhou prosperous for a while.
"Businessmen pursue profits and must not indulge!" After a while, Li Si just said this to represent his attitude.
"Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Li said is true. Merchants do not care about hard work, they are all profit-seeking people..."
"It doesn't matter if a merchant pursues profit. As long as he pays enough taxes to Da Qin, he will pursue profit. What's more, amending the Golden Rules only further liberalizes merchants, not completely."
Ying Gao looked at Li Si and others and said impassionedly: "The Great Qin in the future will naturally need to let go of merchants to promote the flow of products and things from all over the Great Qin."
"However, this kind of liberalization is only a certain degree of liberalization. The future golden rules will be stricter and more detailed."
"Even if the merchant is a wild beast, we must use the golden rules to set up a cage to keep him in captivity and provide taxes for our great Qin."
"Father, this is the only way at the moment. Farmers' taxes are too small. In the future, Great Qin cannot rely solely on agricultural taxes. Otherwise, if there is a famine year, the people will not be able to survive."
"Now that the Qin Dynasty encounters a major war, the people of the country need to save food from their mouths to support the war. This may be a pride for my father and you."
"But in my opinion, this is a shame. We, the Qin Dynasty, are known as the largest country in the world. To fight a war, we actually need our people to save food from their mouths."
"How can such a country be called powerful and wealthy? A truly powerful country should not only have a wealthy court, but also have wealth hidden among its people."
"So, I asked my father to issue an edict to amend the Golden Rule..."
