Is land linked to population?
Li Si remained silent.
He felt that the most important thing in Chen Ke's plan was not the connection between population and land.
It's the one that seems to have no problems and "doesn't belong entirely to the people."
Li Si looked at Chen Ke and asked, "What do you mean it's not completely owned by the people?"
Chen Ke was not surprised when he heard Li Si's question.
On the contrary, he felt that if Li Si couldn't see it, there would really be a problem.
This is not a difficult problem to see.
After all, he had already explained the matter in such detail.
"Brother Li, what do you think it means?"
Li Si pondered for a moment and said softly: "Brother Chen, do you want to keep the land in the hands of the imperial court?"
When he asked this answer, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened...
What is the foundation of the military merit system?
The foundation of the military merit system lies in the granted land and title.
The most important thing is the land!
If you want to keep the land in the hands of the imperial court, you must take back these lands again...
But in this case, what will happen to those who have vested interests and those who supported Da Qin in the past?
Perhaps seeing the worry in Li Si's eyes, Chen Ke just smiled.
"Brother Li, why should you worry?"
"I didn't say that I wanted to take back those people's land. It was just a way to restrain the imperial court and then release the land."
He said with emotion: "We cannot deny that if these lands are not controlled by the imperial court."
"In the end, it will all converge towards certain people and certain groups."
"In the end, these people will become nobles that last for who knows how many years."
Chen Ke's tone was deep: "Perhaps, at that time, you can no longer be called a noble."
"It has been passed down from generation to generation, and a few families have a certain surname. In the end, it may be more appropriate to call them "Aristocratic Family". "
Li Si was silent.
He was thinking about the ending that Chen Ke had said in his mind, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
This is something that has appeared since Shang Yang's reform, and no one can solve it.
Even this problem actually lasted until after the fall of the last dynasty.
History is a circle, going around and around will eventually return to the starting point.
But history is also a propeller. Even if it seems to be back on the original historical track, it is actually a step higher.
For example, the "well field system" during the Shang and Zhou dynasties was actually state-owned land.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shang Yang and many other reforms made it possible for land to be bought and sold freely. This was private ownership of land.
The private ownership of land renewed the immortality of the Qin Dynasty, allowing the Qin Dynasty and China to continue for thousands of years.
During these thousands of years, the issue of land annexation has continued to lurk.
No one can solve it.
Because the system of land privatization has become rigid.
It involves...
Too much.
Unless the heaven and earth are shaken and everything is purified again, how can we solve this problem?
Everything is a hidden, unexplainable, and unexplainable problem.
What Chen Ke wants now is to solve land privatization before it completely ossifies into an untouchable cancer.
Combined with some systems of this era, a four-dimensional image is created.
Although it is different, it is much better than directly "nationalizing land".
Why?
Because there is an emperor system...
Because this is a feudal dynasty...
What many people consider to be a disadvantage has turned out to be an advantage.
Here, the emperor sticks to his word, especially those who have been emperors for thousands of years, such as the First Emperor.
As long as he doesn't overturn the card table all of a sudden, he has almost become a "god" in the eyes of "Old Qin people", and he can do his own thing as much as he wants.
Anyone who collaborates with the enemy and treason will be killed!
Anyone who violates Qin's laws will be killed!
Anyone who offends the emperor's majesty will be killed!
There is nothing that cannot be solved by killing.
Here, as long as the First Emperor is willing, his Iron Eagle Guards, Black Ice Platform, and even thousands of old Qin people will clear the way for him!
Those nobles from the Six Kingdoms who stand in front of him and Great Qin will be swept away like dust.
There is no need to worry about having any backers above, or that this person is related to someone in the court, or to someone with high authority.
Don’t worry about the country being in turmoil after touching him...
There is no need to swallow your anger.
Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed!
backing?
Which backer is greater than the First Emperor?
Even if he is the prime minister who is the leader of hundreds of officials, even if he is the general who is the leader of an army, the First Emperor can be killed at any time as long as he is willing...
This is also the reason why Chen Ke can act like this.
Whatever you do, you can tolerate no sand in your eyes, because there is a person above who cannot tolerate sand even more!
Li Si sighed.
He looked at Chen Ke in front of him and said, "If you do this, those people from the Six Nations will probably rebel."
Treason?
Hearing these two words, Chen Ke almost laughed out loud.
He put his hands on his hands and laughed, looked at Li Si and said, "Rebellion? What I'm worried about is that they won't!"
"Brother Li, our Qin Dynasty's million-strong army is here, His Majesty the First Emperor is here, you and I, General Meng Tian, and General Wang Jian are here."
"Generals Zhang Han, Wang Ben, and Zhao Tuo are here."
"Even if the Six Kingdoms are still in trouble, even if the appeal of those countries is still there, and even if the people are still willing to surrender to the Six Kingdoms, so what?"
"I, Da Qin, will wield my sword and kill all the enemies of the world!"
Chen Ke's tone was calm and passionate, like a lion swallowing thousands of miles!
And in fact, that's exactly what happened.
He squinted his eyes, like a lion that had just woken up from sleep, but was full of murderous intent.
"What's more, there is the household registration system, the thousand-character script, block printing, and papermaking."
"There is a way forward."
"There are fields."
"The past countries have become dust in history. The new country can protect them from a safe and even better life, and bring peace to the world!"
"Who would want to follow and rebel?"
Chen Ke leaned forward and looked at Li Si: "Isn't my purpose, our purpose, to force those nobles to rebel?"
"If they didn't rebel, how would those property and money get into the hands of our Great Qin?"
Chen Ke's words fell to the ground, just like pressing the last note of an impassioned and passionate movement.
Li Si looked at Chen Ke who was sitting there, regaining his lazy and elegant appearance, and sighed quietly.
He seems to know Chen Ke's plan...
"Is it because you don't want to join the Prime Minister's Office as Prime Minister..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Ke put his finger in front of his lips, looking indifferent and smiling.
"Brother Li, why bother saying something that hasn't been decided yet?"
He stood up, stretched, and then walked away.
"It's getting late, Ke has to leave first."
"Let's drink together another day."
