Listening to Chen Ke's plan, Li Si couldn't help but have a grand plan in his mind.
Countless talented people from all over the world have gathered in Xianyang City through the literary competition.
The surging crowds turned Xianyang City into the most powerful city.
If you look for anyone here, you are a great talent, someone who has a strategy in mind and can guide the country and promote writing.
Of course, Li Si also knew.
Those who pass the screening will definitely not be the same as those sour scholars.
But he was still fascinated by this future.
Li Si was not afraid.
Because he knew that even if such a plan could be completed, it would take at least ten or even twenty years.
Where will he be then?
Dust to ashes, dust to dust.
Although he likes power and holds it in his hands, he is afraid of losing his power.
But he knew better that as long as he did not lose the emperor's sacred heart, he would never lose his power.
Even in the original history, if the First Emperor did not suddenly die.
Even if Fusu had not been so pedantic, and had not been so trusting and dependent on Meng Tian, Li Si would not have rebelled.
Li Si's rebellion seemed to be a coincidence under Zhao Gao's coercion, but in fact it was inevitable.
Because Fusu trusted Meng Tian more than an emperor should trust his ministers, which would frighten other ministers, especially ministers who were not in the same camp as Meng Tian.
Even for a lonely minister, this should not be the case.
What's more, Meng Tian is not a lonely minister?
Chen Ke looked at Li Si's thoughts, with a slight smile on his face: "Brother Li, are you shocked by the scene I described?"
"I see your face is in a state of confusion."
Li Si smiled and came back from his thoughts. He looked at Chen Ke and felt a little emotional.
"Brother Chen has been arranging all this since the literary competition last year, right?"
"No, it didn't start from last year's literary competition."
Li Si thought for a moment and then said: "Brother Chen should have already laid out these plans since he first took action against Confucianism."
"These things are closely related, but they seem to have no connection."
"Gray threads of grass and snakes, veins lying thousands of miles away."
Li Si looked at Chen Ke. At this moment, he felt that Chen Ke was really unfathomable.
"Brother Chen is really a good calculator and a good city."
"The strategy in my heart is so strong, I don't know how many times stronger it is."
"If Brother Chen can catch up, within a year and a half, the position of prime minister on the right will belong to Brother Chen."
Chen Ke touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
Isn't it just a gray line of grass and snakes, with the pulse running thousands of miles away? Doesn't he still know it in his heart?
He just counterattacked casually, without thinking too much at all.
And on the eve of last year, under the emperor's instructions, he realized that the past and the past were no longer the past, and he began to think about it.
Thinking about how to make Da Qin stronger.
Thinking about how to deal with the relics of the six countries.
And when he connected the haphazardly arranged links one by one, he found that he had laid a dead end for those people from the Six Nations.
A dead end from which there is no escape.
Chen Ke spread his hands, looked at Li Si in front of him and said, "Brother Li is joking."
"Don't say that I don't have that ability. It's just that I have that ability. I'm not a person like Brother Li."
He smacked his lips: "If it were me, I could take him three or four months off a year."
"Without His Majesty's edict, there is no way for me to work."
"Except for sleeping, I just eat or watch music and dance throughout the day."
Chen Ke looked at Li Sid and said: "Only someone like Brother Li who likes to deal with political affairs from the bottom of his heart can take up this position."
When Li Si was about to say something, Chen Ke waved his hand, already guessing what he was going to say.
"Brother Li, stop talking."
"In more than a month, I'm afraid His Majesty will make you the Right Prime Minister."
"At that time, the position of Prime Minister Zuo will be left to Wang Guan or Wang Tingwei."
"If Wang Tingwei doesn't take it, I'm afraid it will be left to someone else."
other people?
A figure appeared in Li Si's mind: "You mean Xiao He?"
Chen Ke nodded: "Yes, Xiao He."
"Xiao He is not from my old Qin State, so when Xiao He is in this position, it is most appropriate to start the work of dividing counties and counties and compiling fish scale books."
He narrowed his eyes: "It's just that dividing counties is easy, but how about compiling a fish scale book?"
There was something unfinished about Chen Ke's words, but Li Si understood it completely.
Compiling a fish scale book is a big deal, and even more difficult.
This is not easy.
Li Si frowned: "Then, how can we make the people willing to report their household registration and compile fish scale books?"
Chen Ke smiled slightly: "Since ancient times, haven't there been two methods?"
"One is coercion, the other is inducement."
"Just hit a stick and give me a sweet date."
Chen Ke held his head and looked at the sky outside.
“After reporting the household registration statistics, each person can obtain the right to develop two acres of fields and five acres of wasteland on the original basis.”
"Moreover, the imperial court can rent iron farm tools and cattle to help the people cultivate land."
Li Si was slightly stunned when he heard this answer.
He said with some embarrassment: "Brother Chen, the method is a good one, but the problem is, where can the imperial court still have so many fields?"
"Therefore, part of the land in the Qin State is in the hands of the imperial court, and part of it has been distributed through the military merit system."
"It's easy to talk about Xianyang City, but the past six countries..."
With a smile on his lips, Chen Ke tapped his finger on the document on the table.
"Brother Li, of course we will not rob the land that passes through the Six Kingdoms."
"After all, they didn't break any laws."
"Can......."
"But what if those people took in the remnants of the Six Kingdoms with the intention of treason and committed a heinous crime? What if they were the Yi tribe?"
"After the Yi tribe, won't these lands become our lands?"
Chen Ke had a smile on his face.
"When the time comes, after the court distributes the land to these people, we will still have a lot left."
"and....."
Chen Ke raised his head and looked at Li Si in front of him.
"The land distributed by the imperial court cannot be distributed using the previous methods."
He closed his eyes.
Although it is early to take this thing out now, this is the right time.
The world has never reached the point where all systems are rigid.
Only then will the world be stable.
"After the heads are reported, the people's original land will be registered as theirs as usual."
"But the land we distributed and the land we reclaimed no longer fully belongs to them."
"They can use these lands, but if the person who owns this piece of land dies, then the court will take back this piece of land and reorganize it."
"And whenever a new child is born, no matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, or how old the child is, he can claim another piece of land."
Chen Ke looked at Li Si and said, "What does Brother Li think about linking land to people?"
