heard.

Fusu's face changed slightly.

But soon it was back to normal.

He said indifferently:

"I know what you're thinking, but there are some things that you absolutely cannot do. Even if I, Fusu, fail to fight for the reserve in the end, I will never use tricks and tricks against other young masters."

"This is my bottom line!"

"It's also the promise I made to my father back then."

Mi Chen glanced at Fusu, sighed and said, "Young master's character is rare in the world, pure, filial and true."

"Since the young master is unwilling, I will not persuade him again."

"But the young master is indeed about to change."

"The young master thinks that the tenth prince's acceptance of the title was deliberately suppressed by His Majesty, but as everyone knows, the tenth prince has not shown up for a long time, and most of the world has forgotten about him, but he can continue to accumulate a small reputation, accumulate a lot of money, and when the time is right in the future, the tenth prince reveals his identity At that time, the reputation he has accumulated among the people will not be comparable to yours."

"The young master has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how do you know about civil affairs?"

"But the ten sons are different. He can accumulate his own reputation little by little. A son who comes from the people will definitely win the favor of the head of Guizhou. When the Guanzhong clan responds again, there will be countless followers."

"Young Master, I'm afraid it's really hard to be an opponent."

"Young Master does have a good name, but the good name is only among the courtiers, but the reputation among the people is not obvious. The outside world only knows that there is an eldest son named Fu Su, but that's all."

"Young Master, if you want to fight in an upright manner, you should put aside the hypocrisy and be pragmatic!"

"Go to the people to gain prestige in a down-to-earth manner, and at the same time put your own political opinions into practice, let the facts speak for you, and let your majesty know that your political opinions are not just rhetoric, but are indeed beneficial to Daqin."

"My lord, you have stayed in Xianyang for too long."

"It's time to go for a walk!"

Fusu's gaze was fixed, and he bowed and said, "Please teach me, Mr. Yangquan."

Mi Chen said in a deep voice:
"Since the young master has a good relationship with Confucianism, he must have read "Zuo Zhuan". There is such a sentence in "Zuo Zhuan": 'Utensils and names should not be fake people'."

"in my opinion."

"'Name' is status, and 'device' is status."

"The young master has an identity now, but he still lacks the status. To obtain the status, in addition to gaining the approval of the court, he also needs to gain fame in the world. If he wants to become the crown prince, both are indispensable."

"It was really unnecessary in the past."

"But now that the ten sons are back, you must be cautious."

"My son now wants to expand his influence as much as possible, and to show his political opinions to the people of the world, not only in the court, but also to build a reputation in the world. In the past, the son's political opinions were mostly found in letters, but rarely implemented. "

"This will naturally make His Majesty look down."

"My son must get rid of this stereotype now."

"The ten sons have been famous since they solved the case."

"My son is the eldest son, so naturally I don't need to start with these small things. Right now, my son should focus on the country's major affairs, and right now Chu is seriously losing land."

"Lost fields, where did you start?" Fusu frowned.

Since the reform of Shang Yang in the Great Qin Dynasty, the land granting system has been implemented all the time.

That is, the government grants farmland to the people.

The well field system implemented in other countries at the same time, the reason why the Great Qin Ruishi was able to erupt incomparably astonishing combat effectiveness has actually a lot to do with the land grant system.

The well field system is essentially a multi-level possession system.

That is to say, the ownership of the same piece of land was occupied by layers of nobles such as the emperor, princes, ministers, doctors, and scholars, and the corresponding levels of land rent were exploited layer by layer.

Shang Yang's reform, which changed the well field system to the land grant system, broke this multi-layered possession and exploitation, and simplified the original multi-level possession system into a two-level structure of 'government-people'.

Daqin nationalized the land.

The county and county officials appointed by the government directly manage it. Most of the taxes distributed by nobles at all levels in the past have been included in the national treasury. First, it increases the national tax revenue, and second, it actually reduces the burden on the people at the bottom.

Again.

The Qin Dynasty has been preventing the field from concentrating on a few people.

Starting from the ninth level of "Five Doctors", the high-ranking people can no longer be allocated fields. The government directly converted the amount of cultivated land that should have been increased into corresponding taxes, that is, the grain output that can be harvested.

The decree calls it the 'tax-giving city'!
The fields allocated to the people are not permanent property rights. They only have the right to use the land, but not the ownership of the land. After their death, the land will expire, be taken back by the government, and then redistributed to their descendants.

If their descendants want to keep the land, they must work hard to cultivate it.

Historically, Gan Luo, who worshiped Shangqing at the age of 12, made great contributions to Qin. The reward given to him by Qin Shihuang was "Gan Mao Tianzhai from the beginning", that is, the land that his grandfather had taken back in the past was re-given to him. Gan Luo.

Here is giving, not giving back.

According to the laws and regulations, all the land belongs to the government, so why lose the land?
Mi Chen said:
"My son doesn't know something."

"Shitian has always existed in Daqin, but it has not attracted the attention of the court."

"During the Warring States period, countries were forced to fight continuously and ruled in wartime. That is to say, the aristocratic families of various countries owned local governance and fiefdoms, and the fields under their jurisdiction were basically the same as their own fields."

"But with the unification of the world, the land returned to the government, and the land occupied by the noble families of the prefectures and counties and the rich merchants were also taken back by the government, but how could they be willing to hand over the land?"

"When the world was first established, the laws of Qin had not yet been uniformly implemented."

"At that time, counties and counties in Shandong were still the same as in the past, and land trading was common. At that time, the people of the world did not know what land law the Great Qin would implement, so the people who lost their land did not dare to say that they had no land, and the aristocratic families and wealthy people who bought the land even concealed it."

"That leads to a problem."

"Many Guizhou heads in Shandong counties are actually landless, and most of them are the land of local aristocratic families and rich people who rented land. Therefore, Daqin seems to implement the land grant system in Shandong counties, but in fact it is the well field system that is actually implemented."

"In recent years, there have been many complaints in Qianshou, Shandong counties and counties."

"why?"

"It is precisely because of the loss of land that multiple taxes are too heavy!"

Fu Su frowned, puzzled and said: "Since they lost their land, they can tell the truth to the government, how come they have fallen to the present situation?"

Mi Chen shook his head and said:
"My lord, do you remember that there is a law in the law of Tian."

"'Landless people are jobless and exhausted people, and will be punished as hard labor prisoners'. It is precisely because of this law that the people who lost their land dare not report."

Fusu's expression darkened.

He is not stupid, so he understands it naturally.

What Mi Chen wanted to express was that the aristocratic families in various counties and counties in Shandong distorted the laws of Qin and threatened the head of Guizhou not to explain the truth to the government, so as to continue to make their families and fortunes in the localities.

"It's really unreasonable!" Fu Su said angrily, "How can I, Fu Su, tolerate these snakes, insects, rats and ants harming Daqin?"

"Please Yangquan Lord teach me?"

Mi Chen narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice:

"My son should take this as an opportunity to write to His Majesty, and at the same time, to go to Shandong counties, preferably Chu, to investigate the real situation of the 'lost land' in the locality. If possible, the son can implement his own solution in the local area."

"When the son's governance strategy is very effective, the son will return to Xianyang, write a letter about the loss of land in the local area, and present the son's solution at the same time."

"Your Majesty's governance strategy has been put into practice and solved the problem. This will definitely make His Majesty look at you differently. Furthermore, you will surely win the hearts of the Chu people by solving the problem of 'lost land' on the ground."

"At the same time, it also proved the son's talent to His Majesty."

"I hope you will accept it!"

Fu Su bowed deeply to Mi Chen.

"Fusu thanked Lord Yangquan on behalf of the people. These matters are related to the foundation of the Great Qin State. How can I, Fusu, stand by and watch? I will write a letter to the emperor right now."

"Investigate the loss of land in the counties and counties of Shandong!"
