Zhao Hao was sure that Xia Wuqi would agree to him. For no other reason, the ancients did this.
Especially that sentence: Worry first when the world is worried, then be happy when the world is happy.
Zhao Hao felt that based on these words and Xia Wuji's moral integrity, he would definitely agree to him.
However, to be on the safe side, he still had to find Ying Zheng.
After all, what Xia Wuqie was worried about was also true. Qin's laws were strict and how could the imperial doctor in the palace treat Qian Shou easily.
This matter must be decided by the First Emperor's father to completely dispel Xia Wuji's concerns.
But when Zhao Hao came to the study, he was turned away by Zhao Gao. The reason was that Ying Zheng was discussing important matters with several important officials of the empire.
This can't be blamed on Zhao Gao, after all, he was also acting under orders.
However, it was rare to meet him, so Zhao Hao started chatting with him with great interest.
"How is Zhao Fu Ling doing lately?"
Zhao Hao glanced sideways at Zhao Gao and asked in a polite way.
Zhao Gao bowed, lowered his head and replied: "In response to your Majesty's kindness, I thank you for your kindness. This old slave is acceptable."
"Um."
Zhao Hao nodded with a smile, then suddenly thought of something and asked curiously: "How is my eighteenth brother?"
"The young prince studies every day, diligently, and never carries anything with him for half a day."
"That's right! You should study more when you are young, and you can serve the country when you grow up!"
Zhao Gao twitched the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and said: "What the young master said is absolutely true."
Zhao Hao smiled, looked at the top of Zhao Gao's head, and then pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, by the way, I have to thank Zhao Fuling for finding a good chariot driver for me. Well, Yan Le Man, not bad!”
"Thank you very much. It's a blessing for Yan Le to be able to serve the young master."
"Haha, Zhao Fu Ling is becoming more and more cautious now."
"Um?"
Zhao Gao didn't know why, and was about to raise his head when he suddenly heard a whisper as soft as a mosquito's voice in his ear: "Stop pretending, they're all foxes with thousands of years of experience. What are you pretending to be? On this eastward tour, seize the opportunity." .”
"Young Master"
Zhao Gao was shocked and looked at Zhao Hao with confusion.
But he saw Zhao Hao staring at him with a half-smile, his eyes full of amusement.
At this moment, a high-pitched voice came from the study: "Your Majesty has a decree, and Mr. Hao is here to see you!"
"Let's go in, Zhao Fu Ling."
Zhao Hao smiled slightly at Zhao Gao, then ignored him and walked straight into the study.
Zhao Gao froze on the spot, lost in thought, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Soon, Zhao Hao came to the study and saluted Ying Zheng respectfully: "My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
"Um."
Ying Zheng nodded with a smile, then raised his hand to signal him to sit down and said, "My son came at the right time. The old prime minister and I are discussing the 'One Whip Method' strategy!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao tilted his head and looked at Wang Wan: "So, the old prime minister is already investigating the feasibility?"
Although the word 'research' made Wang Wan a little unfamiliar, he still understood the general meaning, but he heard him say: "Since the unification of the six kingdoms, our country has been stable, but the people's livelihood is not harmonious, and those who have no land have no land. very much;
The reason is that the land annexation trend has become more and more intense in recent years. The rich have thousands of hectares of fertile land, while the poor have no place to stand. This whipping policy should be implemented as soon as possible! "
Feng Quji took over the conversation and said with a solemn expression: "Last year, dozens of imperial censors reported to the emperor, requesting a thorough investigation into the misappropriation of land by officials and wealthy gentry, in order to alleviate the pain of the people;
In the meantime, the old minister was ordered by His Majesty to reform the land, and together with the imperial censor, he secretly investigated the internal history of Zhisu. It took two months to investigate the shady story of Chen County! "
After saying this, he raised his hand and pointed to the copper box beside him: "This box is full of evidence that Chen County officials, wealthy gentry, and old families have annexed their land!"
"I'll find a copy and read it to the young master!"
Feng Jie opened the box, grabbed a roll of bamboo slips, and read: "There is a household named Chen Sheng in Yangcheng, Chen County. He was coerced by the son of the county governor and sold all his family's hundreds of acres of land. His parents could not bear the poverty and died of worry and anger. ;
Chen Sheng had no choice but to survive and could only help the people who bought the land to farm. He was unable to get married and start a family, so he developed a desire to be a thief! "
"Um?"
Zhao Hao couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard Chen Sheng's name.
But Feng Jie handed him the bamboo slip and said, "Master, please take a look, here is Chen Sheng's secret deed of selling land, which has been printed with bloody fingerprints."
As he said that, he seemed to think of something again and added: "Oh, by the way, this is not the point. The point is that there is a blood sword drawn at the end, and at the end of the blood sword, there is another crown!
What does it mean? The crown refers to the official!
From the perspective of Chen Sheng and other residents, if we don’t clean up these shady activities, the day we commit robberies will be the day we kill officials! "
"this"
Zhao Hao took the bamboo slip and glanced at it roughly, his eyelids twitching wildly.
If he remembered correctly, the 'King Chen Sheng' in history seemed to be from Chenjun.
This. This can't be the same person! ?
If it is really the same person, then there is really no smoke without smoke!
Before Zhao Hao could put down the bamboo slips, Li Si beside him suddenly said: "If you are poor, you will want to change, and if you cannot change, you will do the opposite. The laws of Daqin prohibit the sale of land, so why do these people buy land but hire the owners of the land to cultivate it?
If I say there is nothing strange in this, would you believe it?
I think there is only one truth, and that is that there are people who have second thoughts about me, Da Qin! "
As soon as these words came out, the entire study was as silent as a deep mountain canyon.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he turned to look at Zhao Hao: "After hearing this, do you have any opinions?"
"this"
Zhao Hao showed hesitation, and instantly felt several eyes falling on him. His heart suddenly lurched, he swallowed, cupped his hands and said, "Return to my father, after listening to the words of the ministers, I feel that a whip can still be used." If it is not perfect enough, it should be divided into small pieces and acres.”
"Dividing a small family into an acre?"
The ministers were stunned and couldn't help but look at each other.
But Ying Zheng raised his hand and said, "Continue talking."
"Yes, Father."
Zhao Hao nodded, and then explained: "This method of dividing acres into acres is actually a supplement to the whipping method, that is, acres of land are divided into dings. If the fields are more, the dings will be more, and if the fields are less, the dings will be less. The calculation of acres is based on calculation, so there is no way to cheat;
No matter how much land those people buy, it is of no use. Instead, it becomes a disaster, because after the land is divided, the landless households no longer have to bear the land tax, which can relieve the suffering of the households;
What's more, in the year of compilation and review, it will be done as usual, no more audits are needed, and households can move freely and sell their labor force.
In addition, completing the work of each field will prevent profitable people from getting involved, which will benefit the country and the people. "
"this"
After listening to Zhao Hao's words, all the ministers couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The one-whip law only simplified the tax collection procedure and collected taxes based on land and population, while the rationing method directly abolished the head tax and only collected taxes based on land. This was a fatal blow to those who purchased land.
"Wonderful! So wonderful!"
Feng Jie was the first to come to his senses and couldn't help but praise him: "Young Master deserves to be called a Young Master, he is a great talent!"
He was so excited. This was better than a whip. It was indeed a good strategy to benefit the country and the people.
However, when he was excited, he frowned when he saw that the three ministers did not respond.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Feng Jie asked.
Feng Quji glanced at him and sighed: "Although this strategy is good, it will offend too many people, I'm afraid."
As he said this, he glanced at Ying Zheng subconsciously and did not continue.
Ying Zheng ignored him and turned to look at Li Si: "What do you think, Captain Ting?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I think it's better to study it further, after all."
"Okay! You go down and study it."
Before Li Si finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng waving his hand.
Wang Wan and he looked at each other with helpless expressions in their eyes.
Although the people sitting here do not have fiefs and only have settlements, they have a lot of land.
If the tax is calculated on the basis of 'shared per acre', I don't know when it will be paid.
In this situation, it is best to shut up and neither agree nor disagree.
After watching several ministers leave the study, Ying Zheng once again set his sights on Zhao Hao.
"What do you think?"
"Um?"
Zhao Hao was just about to leave, but when he heard Ying Zheng's words, he couldn't help but froze, and then as if he had come to his senses, he said quickly: "Go back to my father, I thought, one word, kill!"
Anyone who objects will be killed!
Kill them until they dare not object. The reform of the undead will not succeed! "
"Kill? How many? Kill them. What will happen to Great Qin?"
Ying Zheng sneered and wanted to directly deny Zhao Hao.
But Zhao Hao solemnly raised his hands: "Father, my son, please be brave!"
"Are you too brave? Just say whatever nonsense you want!"
"No, Father, you should think of it this way. Da Qin is your Da Qin, and it is the Da Qin of the people of Da Qin. There are only a few hundred thousand rich gentry and nobles in all parts of the country;
However, the people of Qin Dynasty thought that this was a good deal by killing one hundred thousand people to win the support of tens of thousands of people! "
After Zhao Hao said solemnly, he looked at Ying Zheng with a stern look: "It is imperative to spread the family into the family!"
hiss……
Zhao Hao's words made Ying Zheng take a breath, but in just a moment, he made up his mind.
He was born into a noble family and did not know much about the sufferings of the people, but he understood the extravagance of the nobles.
Once this idea is implemented, the wealthy gentry, bureaucrats and aristocrats will definitely resist collectively, and they will protect their interests at all costs.
Land and taxation are the foundation of the country, and they are also the foundation of the rich gentry and nobles. They will never give them to others unless they have to.
In this case, the only option is to kill.
It’s just that the opposition forces in the DPRK and China will definitely be huge, but I don’t know if Wang Wan can handle it.
No, you have to send someone to jointly implement the New Deal.
Ying Zheng was worried that Wang Wan did not have the courage and would be merciful, or was afraid of taking responsibility and not doing well, so he decided to let Feng Jie stay in Xianyang.
As for Feng Quji, he will definitely take him away.
The father and son cannot be together, otherwise it will be easy for them to do bad things.
"Okay, I understand. Tell me why you came to me."
Ying Zheng neither expressed his decision nor denied Zhao Hao's suggestion, but directly changed the subject.
Zhao Hao seemed to be used to the way he got along with Ying Zheng, and did not dwell on this matter. He said, "Actually, it's nothing. I'm just that Erchen's medical clinic is about to open, and I would like to ask my father to grant the Imperial Medical Order and the Imperial Medical Office." Imperial physician, go to Erchen’s medical clinic to diagnose and treat patients.”
"oh?"
Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and looked thoughtfully at the resourceful son in front of him.
