Lin Feng was also shocked when he saw Ying Jiuxiao entering. The emperor who was based in Xianyang actually came to Anyi in person.
In fact, no news came from the Black Ice Platform.
Obviously this is Ying Jiuxiao's arrangement.
Lin Feng stood up and said: "Your Majesty."
Bai Cejun also stood up quickly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty."
Ying Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Everyone sit down, there is no need to be polite. I didn't let Heibingtai spread the news, just because I wanted to see the real situation. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got here, I heard you discussing the issue of the aristocratic family. I also I’m curious, how will Lin Feng solve it?”
Lin Feng sat down and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, businessmen chasing profits and big families grabbing profits are a situation that has existed since ancient times and cannot be suppressed. In human nature, there is a nature of pursuing profits and being greedy. Under the stimulation of money and power , will continue to erode the interests of the weak. As a result, businessmen collude with the government, and wealthy families collude with the government to squeeze and seize the interests of ordinary people."
Ying Jiuxiao stroked his beard, nodded and said: "You are right, not only businessmen and wealthy families, but also officials. If officials are not restrained by laws, they will wantonly form cliques for personal gain and exploit the people. Fundamentally, everything must be done There are legal restrictions."
Lin Feng said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "You haven't said yet, how to restrain the big merchant families? These big families and big merchants are entrenched in Anyi. Even if they are weakened now, they are deeply rooted in the local area and have intricate relationships. It is extremely difficult to restrain and suppress them. It was completed in a short time. , the old state will sprout again in the future.”
Lin Feng said: "Actually, the solution is not difficult. Great Qin has always built imperial mausoleums. In fact, it is estimated that except for Yan State, the emperor of any country will start building his own imperial mausoleum after he succeeds to the throne."
"This is the rule of all dynasties."
"So, all it takes is an order from the imperial court to move the merchant family to live near the imperial mausoleum and guard the imperial mausoleum."
"When migrating merchants and big families go there, on the one hand, they are given preferential treatment, including official positions, lordships, etc. On the other hand, they are allowed to purchase land in the local area. This is to give benefits. After this arrangement, big families and big merchants leave the place where they live. , the personal connections in the original place will no longer work, and the land resources will be sold."
"If you don't sell it, you will be swallowed up by others."
"So once these resources are disposed of, the influence of noble families and businessmen in the local area will be weakened."
Lin Feng had a stern look in his eyes.
Big families and big businessmen must be curbed.
If it is not stopped, it will erode the interests of the imperial court and affect the interests of the people all over the world.
Bai Cejun looked shocked when he heard this, and said: "Master Lin, your method is too drastic and will cause a big shock."
Ying Jiuxiao did not express his position. There was a trace of doubt on his face and he was thinking in his heart.
Da Qin has never done anything like this.
Migrating clan!
Migration honors!
Migrant traders!
This is a good idea.
However, as Bai Cejun said, once this is done, it will definitely cause an uproar. There will even be countless people who will resist, and this is an issue that must be taken into consideration.
Lin Feng continued: "Shuai Bai, anything you do cannot be beneficial without harm. It must have negative effects. If you want to do something without offending others, you won't be able to do it."
"What is the basis for the operation of the imperial court?"
"They are the people of the world."
"It is also the people of the world."
"Only when the imperial court has the support of the people all over the world can it enjoy long-term peace and stability. The people are inherently weak. If the imperial court does not stand on the side of the people, then the people will be devoured. In the end, the Qin State will also be overthrown."
"The foundation of the imperial court is not a wealthy family, nor is it a businessman from a distinguished family."
"In fact, the influence of the noble families and big businessmen in the country is too great. They are like moths. They will lie on the people and suck the blood of the Qin State. Therefore, they must be restrained and even suppressed."
"If we don't suppress them, the people will be affected, and the Qin State will be affected."
"This has to be done."
"Even if it offends people, you must do it."
Lin Feng looked solemn and said loudly: "In my opinion, this should be a national policy of the Qin Dynasty in the future. To restrain and suppress the big families and big businessmen, and to move the big businessmen and big families to guard the imperial mausoleum every once in a while."
"well said!"
After Ying Jiuxiao heard this, his eyes were full of approval.
He looked appreciative.
Ying Jiuxiao stroked his beard and said: "For the long-term stability of Great Qin, Lin Feng's suggestion is feasible. In fact, Great Qin has developed rapidly in recent years, and I also have a doubt, that is, there are many big families in the local area."
"These big families control a large amount of land and resources, but they cannot suppress them. Lin Feng implemented land tax reform, inspected the land, and re-imposed land tax. This is a huge reform."
"Through this matter, the land was cleared and taxes were reformed. To a certain extent, it weakened the power of the aristocratic families and further improved the court's finances, making it impossible for the local nobles to hide land privately or secretly. No taxes paid.”
"It's just that it's not enough."
Ying Jiuxiao said in a deep voice: "So I think it is feasible to relocate the big merchant family."
Bai Cejun said: "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, so we must be cautious when implementing it and not act too hastily."
"It's natural."
Ying Jiuxiao said in a deep voice: "I have plenty of patience."
Lin Feng said: "Your Majesty, the court should stand on the side of the people at all times. It is the people who support the Qin Dynasty at all times. The rice and grain for the court are produced by the people. The money and taxes for the court are paid by the people. Food, clothing, housing and transportation. , are inseparable from the people. So if at any time, Da Qin does not care about the life and death of the people and allows the people to be squeezed, then the world will be in chaos. It is imperative to relocate the big clans. "
"I understand."
Ying Jiuxiao nodded and said: "I will implement it, but the big businessmen will be weakened first. For real aristocratic families, we will slowly adjust it later. In short, we will do it step by step, and I will arrange it through the court."
"Your Majesty is holy."
Lin Feng also had a smile on his face.
Although Ying Jiuxiao is old, he can be courteous to the corporal and can listen to persuasion.
Ying Jiuxiao deserves to be called a wise king.
Lin Feng said: "Your Majesty is in Xianyang, why did you suddenly come to Anyi?"
Ying Jiuxiao said: "I came to reward the army and take a look at Anyi. This is the first time I have set foot in the imperial capital of the Xia Kingdom. Among the previous emperors of the Qin Kingdom, some of them have come to Anyi before. At that time, they came or hid. Lose your identity, or become a hostage under someone else’s roof.”
"I have made an oath since I was a child, hoping that one day I can ride in Anyi."
"I didn't expect that Xia Kingdom would be destroyed so quickly. Now, I can enter Anyi openly, and I come as a winner."
There was deep joy in his words.
Qin finally left east.
Qin won.
Ying Jiuxiao looked at Lin Feng and said, "Boy Lin Feng, all this is thanks to you."
Ying Jiuxiao stood up, put his hands together and bowed in a bow.
Lin Feng quickly stood up and moved away. He couldn't accept Ying Jiuxiao's gift.
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Lin Feng, the Qin State has been dealing with the Xia State for many years, and has always been at a disadvantage and has no chance to go east. All this is because of you. You deserve my worship. You deserve everything. A bow from the people of Qin."
Lin Feng said: "Your Majesty is serious."
Ying Jiuxiao waved his hand to signal Lin Feng to sit down again. He also sat down and said: "This time I came to the front line and brought a lot of wine and meat. I will reward them all to make the army in Anyi City happy."
"I obey the decree."
Bai Cejun opened his mouth to answer.
Ying Jiuxiao said: "In addition, Zhang Yi has also made arrangements for the officials who will be in charge of local government affairs, and they have all followed me. They will take office soon and handle local affairs. But I see that the memorial sent back by Bai Cejun involves In terms of external expansion, you want to slow down your campaign and prepare for negotiations with Qi and Jin. In the memorial, this matter was not detailed enough. I am here and will explain in detail how to communicate with Qi and Jin. Woolen cloth?"
Lin Feng said directly: "Your Majesty, this matter is not complicated. The current situation is that we have just captured Anyi, and it is impossible to fall out with Jin and Qi. The current task is to further seize Xia's territory. In the future, we will do more Consider further expanding the territory and even unifying the world."
"My suggestion is to arrange for envoys to go to Jin and Qi respectively to discuss the carving up of Xia. Only by finalizing this matter can we determine the pattern of dividing the Central Plains into three parts of the world."
Ying Jiuxiao thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "When it comes to the combat effectiveness of the army, I think Qin is far better than Qi and Jin. In that case, why not capture more places? Take the initiative to seize territory and force the two countries to surrender?"
Lin Feng said: "Bi Zhi and Bai Shuai also mentioned this matter. When it comes to the strength of the military front, Qin is naturally stronger."
"But Qin's foundation is even weaker."
"In terms of finance and foundation, Qin State is still insufficient, so Qin State needs to accumulate strength. In the eyes of Jin State and Qi State, Qin State has always been on the border. As such, we must continue to hide it from them and let them Look down on Qin."
"So now, taking the initiative to show weakness will enable Qin to unite with one side and destroy one in the future."
"Finally, unify the world."
Lin Feng said: "If Qin shows strong enough strength now and is aggressive like fire, Qin will be jointly targeted by Jin and Qi. Once the two countries unite, they will put great pressure on Qin."
Ying Jiuxiao's eyes lit up and he praised: "Lin Feng's analysis is good, it's settled. Now, our Qin State continues to seize various places around Anyi, and restrains its troops, trying not to conflict with Qi and Jin. Show weakness. , it is indeed necessary. In addition, I arranged for two people to go to Jin and Qi respectively."
Lin Feng said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to make a personal visit to the Jin State. It just so happens that I have some personal matters to deal with."
"Can!"
Ying Jiuxiao nodded and answered.
He thought for a while and said: "You are responsible for the negotiations on the Jin State's mission. I will arrange for someone to go to Qi State to find out the situation first. If the negotiation can be done properly, you will not be needed. If it is not handled well, you will be the one to negotiate. Details. The negotiations will be based on one principle to carve up the territory of Xia Kingdom."
Lin Feng nodded accordingly.
He took out the map and discussed with Ying Jiuxiao and Bai Cejun a general arrangement for carving up the Xia Kingdom.
This must be negotiated.
What territories Qin needs must have the most basic conditions.
After all matters were discussed, Lin Feng returned to his camp, spoke to Cui Yuantu and Huan Suzhi, and then set off south with Gao Xiaoyu.
Huan Suzhi did not want to go back to Jin. He was in the army and had things to do.
Lin Feng traveled quickly and entered the territory of Jin in early November. In mid-November, I arrived near Jinling City and went to the sect's headquarters in Da Chantian.
