"Your Majesty, this time the public transportation company will make public transportation horses to transport grain and grass. It is estimated that 90% of the grain transportation losses can be saved."
"I believe that most of these budget savings should be used to subsidize the people."
Liu Bai spoke in a deep voice, completely ignoring the strange looks from the surrounding ministers.
Everyone thought that Prime Minister Liu's so-called "admonishment with merit" was asking His Majesty the First Emperor for a reward.
Or, Prime Minister Liu might even push the envelope a little further and take the opportunity to get a military position!
With this credit, if Liu Bai really said this, he would indeed have a slight chance.
but...
How can we understand the scenery in other people's eyes if we are at different heights?
Liu Bai disdains getting what he wants in this way?
What he was thinking about... was the harm this war would bring to the people!
The harm he expected to the common people came from the economic theory of later generations: when the total volume of goods in the market is significantly reduced or increased, it will inevitably cause price changes.
"Chen Yangye seconded the proposal!"
"Since Prime Minister Liu is 'taking advantage of his merits', he must have some ideas. Yang Ye is old and not very smart, but he still wants to listen carefully."
Yang Ye stood up immediately and agreed with Liu Bai's view, and was so concerned that he asked about the specific measures.
Yang Ye is indeed stingy, but he has never been stingy when it comes to dealing with the people.
The budgets of officials at all levels are severely stuck, but when it comes to providing relief to the victims, this bad old man stayed up all night until his mouth was burning, and he had to squeeze out the food from the treasury.
A very famous saying in later generations' official circles: "The common people are suffering" was exactly what Yang Ye was least willing to do.
"I read the newspapers from various places, and after careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that the people most targeted by reclaiming wasteland are actually those 'hooligans', that is, people without homes and land."
"But even if we provide farm tools and reduce taxes on reclaimed wasteland, it is actually difficult for them to actually implement it."
"the reason is simple,"
"They don't have rations!"
Liu Bai said in a deep voice: "Since our Daqin reserves military rations, there will naturally be a shortage of food in the country in the coming year. It is imperative to reclaim wasteland."
"I advise that the remaining grain can be used to encourage the refugees to cultivate land, that is, to register and distribute grain rations according to the population."
"Next year, two cents will be collected. One cent will be used to balance the local government's budget, and the other will be used to reward the border soldiers in the coming year!"
"Because of the tax exemption for reclaiming wasteland, these refugees can be settled down in the shortest possible time."
"At this point, Da Qin's total food supply will be abundant in the coming year!"
This advice made all the officials dumbfounded!
Distributing grain and allowing the refugees to reclaim wasteland is nothing new.
The most important thing is...two cents!
In this era, going out nine times and returning thirteen times is already a very conscientious loan. In those places where powerful people borrowed food, they always borrowed one to pay back three, and no food was returned to the land.
Liu Bai said these words lightly, and the refugees in the world are not allowed to kneel in the ground to worship His Majesty?
And...attention! These loaned grains are the losses of grain transportation originally used for the border. Strictly speaking, they are military grains!
In Da Qin, no one dared to tamper with military rations.
As long as there are local officials who are greedy for military rations, they will be promoted from bottom to top without any discussion. All three tribes can gather together and have fun!
Liu Bai's move...
Cruel!
Only some officials who had risen from the local level knew that Prime Minister Liu's move seemed to be just to support the refugees, but in fact it was a "kick in the head" to the wealthy and gentry all over the world.
But unfortunately, no one in the world can say anything about this 'slap on the head'!
Because it’s military rations!
It's that simple!
You can put the military's food as you like, and make profits as you like!
Yang Ye's eyes were widened, and he wanted to shout "cai" out of anger every now and then, but he couldn't.
In his mind, he was still frantically calculating how many refugees such a policy would bring to Great Qin. These refugees would reclaim wasteland, and how much more food would be available to Great Qin in the coming year! After everything is settled, how much more taxes will the treasury be able to receive!
But obviously, he failed!
He can't figure it out!
"This report to Your Majesty, I think it is very appropriate! The border officers know that they will receive more rewards for nothing in the coming year, so they are naturally happy and their morale has greatly increased!"
A steady voice sounded.
Wang Jian stood up slowly and supported Liu Bai.
For Liu Bai to talk about military rations alone, it still seems that he is not strong enough. After all...this boy regards himself as a military general, but no one in the court thinks so!
Shangqing Mengyi, who had just taken over the defense of Xianyang City, looked at Liu Bai and fell into deep thought.
Why does it seem that... above the court, I am no longer the one who is 'the most capable in martial arts and the most civilized in martial arts'.
His Majesty the First Emperor glanced at Liu Bai, then nodded slightly: "Yun!"
With today's policy of encouraging refugees to reclaim wasteland, and the actions Liu Bai ordered Cao Shen to take yesterday, at least next year, the people will not be unable to afford food.
Regarding Liu Bai, His Majesty the First Emperor was also a little more approving.
Being in a high position, when the war was about to come, a man who was thinking about military exploits actually thought about the impact of the war on the people.
Even His Majesty the First Emperor was a little impressed by this boy today.
...
Then, there was a fierce quarrel in the court about the Xiongnu.
Regarding the war against the Huns, there are two factions, radicals and conservatives.
The radicals believe that when the Qin Dynasty regains its strength, all the Xiongnu wolves should be killed!
Conservatives believe that the radical ideas are too conservative.
Of course, Liu Bai didn't even bother to listen to these meaningless remarks.
Is there any need to argue? If His Majesty the First Emperor hadn't thought about it well, what would the two generals Wang Ben and Meng Tian be doing in Daijun in the north? Blow the air? Go short?
But there is one thing, the taboo of changing generals on the spot is really what the people of Lao Qin like to do, and nothing will happen!
Decades ago, Wu'an Jun Bai Qi changed generals, which made Zhao Kuo's people fall on their feet.
Now His Majesty the First Emperor sent Meng Tian to fight against the Huns.
History... is always surprisingly similar!
....
"Langxuan! Langxuan!"
At night, in the Xiongnu Zuoxian King's army, in a camp that could barely be considered luxurious, a middle-aged man with a fair complexion, who was completely different from the Huns around him, shouted in his dream.
In the dream, the man whose face was very similar to hers burst into tears.
I have had this nightmare for ten years!
"One hundred thousand days and one hundred thousand tears, bury me and I will never give up!"
"Prince, I still have a plan to make Dayan regain his sight!"
"What's the plan?"
"Give me your head!"
"Gu's head? Gu is willing!"
"not mine!"
The cousin who had looked similar to me since childhood, who had taken Zhao Zhao's place on his behalf, and suffered humiliation on his behalf, had been taking his place until his death... and even his name in the clan book was destroyed!
On that day, King Yan was happy to cut off his head and send it to Qin, the land of tigers and wolves.
And he... became Dayan's only flame!
The middle-aged man suddenly woke up, holding a rhinoceros horn seal in his hand, brushing away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Langxuan... the pill will definitely live up to you!"
In the 822nd year of the reign of Yan, the King of Yan surrendered, the city fell into decline, and the ancestral temples were destroyed!
At this point, Dayan's body is gone.
When the country was overthrown, the gentle and jade-like Prince Qiang was struck by thunder. He was silent for a long time, with tears in his eyes, and tremblingly said to him, the prince who was the culprit of the failed assassination of King Qin:
"I... have another plan!"
The middle-aged man who calls himself 'Dan' tightly grasped the rhinoceros horn seal, suppressed his voice, and almost roared: "Langxuan, this plan of yours will definitely be the best in history, restore the brilliance of Yan!"
....
Author's words: Do you understand everything?
Dan: Yan Dan.
Langxuan: Yandan’s cousin. He was the one who went to confront Zhao in place of Yan Dan, and he was the one who died.
After Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin, Langxuan proposed a plan to commit suicide, allowing Yan Dan to escape.
A plan made Dayan "recover from darkness".
