Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 408 Daqin is in danger! (seeking subscription)

heard.

Fu Su flicked his sleeves and shouted angrily: "It's a bunch of nonsense. Now the people of the world are living so hard. They don't want to reduce the burden for the people, but intensify the exploitation."

"What you say is all about the subjugation of the country."

"You used to be in a place and saw the suffering of the people. Why did you say such a thing?"

"If it spreads out, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the world?"

Fusu's face turned red with anger.

He never expected that Qin Luoheng would be so frenzied, knowing that the world was in trouble, he didn't want to relieve the country, but instead focused on making money. This is really shocking.

Qin Luoheng looked normal.

In a cold voice:
"There is a country where there is a family."

"If the country is not the country, what is the family?"

"Perhaps what I said is indeed hard for you to accept, but this is indeed what Daqin will do to be able to stand in the world for a long time in the future." Speaking of this, Qin Luoheng glanced at Hu Hai indistinctly. As a tyrant, the reason is that he changed his order from day to day, announcing that he would amnesty the world, reduce taxes and reduce rent, but in the end he contradicted his promise.

Judging from the historical data of later generations, Hu Hai was indeed a tyrant.

After all, he is indeed perverse.

But if it is put in the current world, Hu Hai's behavior may be helpless.

Benevolent governance is easy to say, but what is the price?
Daqin is now suffering from serious internal troubles. If it really amnesties the world and reduces taxes and rents, the finances are already a bit stretched, and it will only become more tense at that time.
Later generations said, "Those who destroy the six countries are the six countries, not Qin."Those who belong to the Qin family are Qin, not the world. '

Qin died due to the collapse of the military merit system.

The military merit system is the reason for the great Qin's prosperity, but it needs a lot of land and money to support this system. When the six kingdoms were not destroyed, the Great Qin could support the system by plundering the resources of the six kingdoms. There is no place for Qin to plunder.

There is no land to divide, no money and food to reward.

This is the embarrassing predicament that Daqin is now in.

Otherwise, Daqin would not have migrated hundreds of thousands of troops and settled in the north. Although this approach is called "Suppressing thousands of miles" in name, it is actually reducing financial pressure.

However, this is actually a temporary solution.

Even more harm than good.

Because there are not many old Qin people in Guanzhong.

Qin Luoheng hadn't noticed this before, but that day after sweeping his master's grave, he passed by a few small villages on his way back. He had lived near Mount Li for ten years and was very familiar with the conditions in these villages. Therefore, it can be seen at a glance that there are fewer people in the village.

immediately.

He went to ask one or two.

The result he obtained horrified him a little.

In Nuoda Guanzhong, the number of old Qin people is less than [-]-[-]%, and most of them are old, weak, women and children, which is really creepy.

No one in the court has noticed such a huge population change.

This made Qin Luoheng even more worried.

Since King Qin Zhao, there are tens of millions of people in the old Qin Dynasty. Among them, the population of Longxi, Hexi, Bashu, and the counties outside the Guanzhou account for about 500% of the Qin people, with a population of about 300 million. [-]% of the population, there are more than [-] million.

The half of the population in the hinterland of Guanzhong, plus the 10 population in the entire Longxi County, can be counted as the people who are really entrusted with important tasks by the Yingqin tribe. Without any complaints, it can be said that he is a real old Qin person.

Since the beginning of the Great War to Destroy the Six Kingdoms, the main army of the Qin State, together with the defenders of Xianyang and the fortresses, plus the royal family and various official guards and soldiers, etc., the total number is nearly one million, and among the one million, the old Qin people must account for at least a few Seventy percent, and considering the number of Qin people at that time, it was roughly ten men and one soldier.

If the population base of the army of the Qin State is counted, there are already two men and one soldier.

In the war to pacify the Six Kingdoms, more than 130 soldiers of the Qin army died in battle, and the follow-up requisitions were made up as much, which was more than [-] million. After the pacification of the Six Kingdoms, more than [-] people were confiscated into the South China Sea, and [-]% of them were Qin people. Men and women, and now the old Qin people are being conscripted to go to Beihe to guard the border. If you count the number of people who exchanged and migrated with Shandong.

At present, the old Qin people in Guanzhong, except for the men in the army, almost all of them have spread to the border areas.

In order to reduce costs, the imperial court relocated the old Qin people on a large scale. It seemed to reduce government expenditures, but in fact it was drinking poison to quench thirst and digging its own grave.

Although Qin Luoheng said that he didn't care about the distinction between old and new Qin people, he was just guarding against being kidnapped by the old Qin people in the future. It was not that he was grateful for the achievements of the old Qin people. He knew better than anyone that the reason why he spoke out in public was not to tell Fu Su, nor to persuade other princes, but to tell Shihuang.

It's time for the Daqin New Deal to reorganize!

otherwise
Great Qin is in danger! ! !

Seeing that the two men were at war, Young Master Gao stepped forward and said, "It's just an ordinary discussion, there's no need to fight against each other like this. Tenth brother, I really didn't understand what you said before to increase wealth collection on the basis of ensuring people's livelihood."

"According to what you said, the rent and taxation of the Great Qin Dynasty has reached the extreme, and further excessive taxation will only make it more difficult for the people to make a living. How can people's livelihood be guaranteed under such circumstances?"

Others were also puzzled.

Qin Luoheng said:

"Great Qin's taxes and rents have indeed reached their current extreme, and any further increase will only be counterproductive, but have you ever heard what I said at a scholar's event that farmers and Mohist schools should make full use of their talents to increase food production and improve the operating efficiency of tools? "

"Daqin's rent is based on the harvest."

"If the harvest increases, the rent will naturally increase."

"Isn't this increasing income?"

"People's grievances, on the one hand, are too rich, so that local people can only sell fields, children, daughters, wives and bodies in order to collect money. Such situations are not uncommon in the six places. On the other hand, , because the corvee is too heavy, some of which are due to the officials, but in the end it falls on the people, that is, they seem to be doing corvée day after day, but it is endless, so they have abandoned farming, and there is really no way to hand over money and food. "

"It's hard to reduce oral gifts in a short time."

"If the efficiency of using tools can be improved, it can reduce the number and time of servicemen, and relatively reduce the dissatisfaction of the people. If a breakthrough is made in grain, the livelihood pressure of the people will undoubtedly be reduced a lot under the two-pronged approach."

"If my idea can be realized, the annual rent collected by the imperial court will increase, and the burden on the people will also be reduced a lot. Isn't this more realistic than the so-called benevolent government? Also more practical?"

"also."

"What people care about is not benevolent governance."

"What they care about is livelihood, what they care about is basic necessities of life."

"Now Daqin has built straight roads in various places. Now that the Huns are gone, the straight roads in many places have become decorations. If you choose to open them up and use them to supply the world, so that mailmen can deliver mail and merchants can escort goods, On the one hand, it is convenient for the people, on the other hand, it can increase taxes!"

heard.

Everyone was surprised.

They have seen Qin Luoheng's boldness, but they never expected that Qin Luoheng would dare to go straight. This is only allowed by royal chariots and emergency messengers, ordinary people are not allowed to leave, let alone people with the lowest status merchants?

All the princes looked at each other, and none of them dared to speak.

Qin Luoheng didn't seem to notice it, and said to himself: "Businessmen are after profit, but their status is low, so we can't let them use it normally. If they want to go straight, they have to spend money, as long as they pay the cost of going straight. is greater than the cost of turnover, I believe these merchants are still willing to spend this amount of money.”

"Although merchants are not popular with the world, they still have their merits."

"On the one hand, it is convenient for the circulation of goods, and on the other hand, it can also speed up the integration of places. Merchants are greedy for money. All they do is money and food. Let go of the road and let the goods flow freely in the world. At the same time, merchants can undoubtedly earn a lot of money. As for money and food, the imperial court has always imposed heavy taxes on merchants, so naturally it can also increase money and food."

"If the imperial court has money, they can do things well."

"Most of the problems that Daqin is facing now can be solved with money. The reason why it has not been solved, or even let it go, is because Daqin doesn't have so much money and food, so it can only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. But this approach, obviously It is not advisable."

"If it goes on for a long time, Great Qin will be in danger!"

Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other.

Although they heard Qin Luoheng's thoughts, they didn't dare to express their opinions at all. Qin Luoheng's thoughts were too shocking, and there was no possibility of implementing them. Not to mention the imperial court's resistance, even the first emperor might not agree , this is destined to be just Qin Luoheng's personal imagination.

unrealistic!

And
How could Daqin be so dangerous?

Now that the Great Qin has just expelled the Xiongnu, it will be pacified in a few days. After the foreign aggression is eliminated, and the remnants of the six kingdoms are wiped out, the world will enter a peaceful and peaceful world. Why do we need to make such a fuss?
see.

Qin Luoheng didn't say anything more.

In fact, he still has a few ways to make money.

It's just that other people obviously don't want to talk anymore, so he won't say more on it.

And his goal has been achieved.

Because the First Emperor has arrived!

Just when the surroundings fell into silence, footsteps sounded from all around, and everyone quickly shifted their eyes to the entrance of the corridor, only to see Ying Zheng stepping into the courtyard on the heels of dragons and tigers.

The princes and princesses hurriedly stood up to welcome them.

"My son sees my father."

Ying Zheng raised his forehead slightly, without any expression on his face, and was terribly calm, but when he looked at Qin Luoheng, an undetectable fluctuation flashed in his eyes.

He said lightly:

"Since it's a family banquet, there's no need to be too polite."

"When I was in the tunnel just now, what did you seem to be talking about?"

Be quiet.

No one dared to answer.

a long time.

Ying Zheng frowned, then relaxed it again, and said lightly: "Since you don't want to mention it to me, then I won't ask any more questions, but you don't have to be so restrained."

Ying Zheng sat on the chief seat.

Looking at the bowed heads below, he secretly shook his head.

With the arrival of Yingzheng, the family banquet officially began. Everyone who seemed to be relaxed at first became cautious at this time. They didn't dare to joke at all, let alone express any emotions, and could only sit quietly. At the table, she shrank her head like a quail.

Qin Luoheng didn't care about these.

Talking and laughing with Ying Yinman and Ying Yang Zi who were on the side.

Can't help but make everyone look sideways.
