Chapter 703: I can only support
The nobles all know Xiang Liang, but there is no way. The Xiang family is now in great prosperity, especially when Xiang Yu's son is one month old. Ying Zheng leads a group of officials to celebrate it. What an honor it is.
Therefore, it is difficult for everyone not to remember it.
However, Xiang Liang was not a noble of Qin, but a noble of Chu.
After Yingzheng unified the six countries, he brought all the nobles from all countries to Xianyang City and became the new Qin nobles. However, they were also considered old nobles and were different from the new nobles.
In fact, there are three types of nobles in Xianyang City, one is the old nobles of the old Qin people, one is the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and the other is the new nobles.
Among these three types of nobles, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms have the lowest status. No one among the old Qin people believes in them. Many people even suspect that the nobles of the Six Kingdoms are remnants of the Six Kingdoms, or have secret connections with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
At this time, Xiang Liang suddenly supported the policy of sharing the land from one person to another, which surprised everyone present.
"Xiang Liang. Why do you support him?" a noble asked.
Xiang Liang sneered: "Why should I object?"
The noble was suddenly speechless. Do you need a reason to support? In fact, there is no need. It’s just that everyone values their private property too seriously, so a reason is needed. Otherwise, everyone really has no reason to support it.
The nobleman who reacted immediately said angrily: "What do you mean by this? No one wants to support it, why do you support it alone? Do you want to go against us?"
Xiang Liang sneered again: "You don't want to support it, but you don't object either. Since you don't object, why don't you support it?"
As Prime Minister Feng said, you do whatever the court asks you to do. Since you have to do it, why not support it?
If you support it, you can still win His Majesty's favor. If you don't support it, you can only be disliked by His Majesty.
Now that our Xiang family has finally been valued by His Majesty, do you think it is possible for you to ask me to give up now? "
"That's enough." Meng Ao stood up, "I also support the idea of sharing the land."
Everyone was in an uproar, and the Meng family also supported it, so the taste was different. The Meng family is a special existence in the aristocratic circle, because the Meng family is a family of military commanders, and the Bai family is the same but different.
In addition to the Bai family's status in the military, even the Meng family has to give some face, but in addition to the military, the Bai family also has its own cronies in the court.
The Bai family no longer belongs to a pure family of military commanders, but they have a very high status among military commanders, so they can become one of the three major families.
And Meng Ao's support made the already discussed scene even more lively.
Another noble stood up and said: "Xiang Liang is right, inaction is support. Instead of supporting in the end, it is better to support from the beginning.
I also choose to support it, but if someone can convince me not to support it, then I will choose to oppose it. "
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at the nobleman with contempt. He was a villain on both sides. Wherever what is said makes sense, fall in that direction.
Gan Luo said at this time: "Everyone, the reason for your objection is that you don't want to pay so much grain tax, but you have forgotten that in addition to grain tax, you also have business tax.
And commercial taxes are paid more, why? "
He paused and continued: "It's not because you made a lot of money by doing business.
But who asked you to do business? Who gave you such an inheritance?
This is Your Majesty, the Imperial Master.
You don’t have to support the idea of dividing the land into small acres, then your business and property will be confiscated by His Majesty, and the consequences may be even more serious. "
"How could your Majesty confiscate our property?" a noble asked.
"It's very simple." Feng Quji said, "Because the Emperor's Master is about to leave the mountain, and if you don't obey the Emperor's Master, the Emperor's Master will have ways to cause you heavy losses.
Even in the end, your position as head of the family will not be preserved. "
Feng Quji's words made everyone couldn't help but feel afraid. Their current status was not only due to the glory of their ancestors, but also because they took the position of the head of the family.
But how many people are thinking about this seat? No one cares more about it than them.
clear.
Once they no longer have the position of family head, they will become an ordinary clansman. The treatment of ordinary clansmen is completely different from what it is now.
"I support."
"I support it too."
At that time, more than half of the people had chosen to support it, and these people were basically young family heads, with the oldest being less than forty years old.
If they support a small family, they will lose some money at most, but they are still the head of the family, and the most important thing is that they can earn back this little money from business.
But if they object to sharing the land, they will not be able to bear the loss of their position as head of the family or some business losses.
The person who questioned Xiang Liang at the beginning also chose to support him. He was also worried about his position as the head of the family.
Gan Luo was very happy to see many people agree.
The First Emperor handed this matter over to Gan Luo and Li Si, causing Gan Luo to be more concerned about it than Li Si.
In fact, not only Gan Luo was very considerate, but Feng Quji, Gan Mao, Bai Siqi, and Meng Xifan were also very considerate.
On the surface, they organized this party, but in fact they wanted to tell everyone that there is nothing to do but support.
When Feng Quji said he would do nothing at first, he was supporting this policy in disguise. ..
At this time, one-third of the people are still sitting and not taking any action. They are relatively old. Even if they are the head of the family, they will not be able to be the head of the family for a few years. In this case, what they want is to strive for more benefits for the family. Benefit.
But they didn't object, not because they didn't want to object, but because they had to consider what impact it would have on them and even the entire family.
So far, the First Emperor has not killed any of the heroes. Even if they object, the First Emperor will not kill them.
However, what should the Imperial Master do after half a year? If he takes action, or directly uses commercial means to kill his family head.
They can't afford this.
"It's so lively here." A sudden voice appeared.
Everyone looked at the door and spotted Li Si's figure.
"Why are you here, Mr. Li?" Gan Luo said in a deep voice. ..
"Sorry, my Li family is now considered a noble. Although I am a new noble, this time all the nobles in Xianyang City gathered together, but they didn't call me Li Si. This can't be justified."
Feng Quji said in a deep voice: "Master Li, we did not know about this matter. Our subordinates made mistakes. As the head of the family, we should be jointly and severally responsible. We made a mistake in this matter."
Hearing this, Li Si secretly cursed an old fox. Not only did he distance himself from the matter, he also deliberately took the responsibility on himself and apologized.
If you still want to hold yourself accountable, then you are a narrow-minded person who cannot tolerate the mistakes of others.
Li Sidao: "If that's the case, then I don't care about it anymore.
I don’t know why everyone is gathering together. I hope someone can tell me what’s going on? "
