"Li Qing, how feasible is what Gongzi Shu said?"
The blueprint Zhao Shu drew for him was very tempting, and Qin Wangzheng was a little moved.
Although he also has to pay for food!
However, Qin Wangzheng doesn’t matter!
For him, it's just a left hand and a right hand.
He is not short of money and food!
At this moment, Li Si looked ugly.
It's not that he is stingy with the money and food.
For Li Si, power and political ambition are greater than so-called money and food.
The reason why he looked ugly was because once this matter was revealed, he would be the enemy of the whole world.
Even Shang Yang didn't do this back then!
Once the next King of Qin can't handle it, the person who raised this matter will probably be cut into pieces again.
After taking a sip of herbal tea, Li Si turned to Qin Wangzheng and said, "Your Majesty, what the young master said can certainly be implemented!"
"It's just that the resistance is as great as Shang Jun's reform!"
"After all, since Lord Shang's reform, our Great Qin has produced countless nobles, and new types of aristocratic families have already controlled most of the land in Great Qin!"
"They don't need to pay for food!"
"Once the peasants work together with the noble royal family officials to pay for the food, the first people to oppose it will be those who support the king the most!"
"At that time, the Great Qin warriors will be in turmoil..."
"You must know that Great Qin's warriors are the foundation of Great Qin!"
"However, as the young master said, there is one advantage, that is, the population of the Central Plains will explode. After all, there will be no more people to pay taxes. The new population will not have to pay taxes, so they will naturally have a large number of children."
"With the abolition of household tax, the number of households in Daqin will also increase!"
"As for commercial tax, let's not discuss it for now. This point alone is the biggest difficulty in changing taxation!"
.......
Li Si knew that once the whole country pays grain as one, it can completely make up for the losses caused by the abolition of oral and household taxes.
What's more, in Zhao Shu's description, if the number of acres exceeds a certain number, there will be heavy taxes.
In this way, the taxes collected every year will also increase.
"What Li Qing said is true. You should plan this matter carefully!"
Qin Wangzheng looked at Li Si and said word by word: "Seal the news about this matter in advance and do not announce it to the outside world!"
"You should join forces with the Su Nei History Office and do some calculations. If the oral tax and household tax are abolished, according to what Gongzi Shu said, the tax situation of the court will be!"
"I need a detailed and accurate answer!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Li Si sighed in his heart.
He knew in his heart that Qin Wangzheng was already moved, but Qin Wangzheng was more cautious than Zhao Shu.
He wants clear data before making a decision!
At this thought, Li Si sighed with emotion and said: "If we really implement the idea of adding children to the mother and paying the grain together, I'm afraid that the royal family, nobles, and officials will cry for father and mother!"
"As for the person who proposed and implemented it, if the next King of Qin is weaker, Lord Shang will learn from the past!"
Li Si wants to do it, but he doesn’t want to die!
He wants to fulfill his political ambitions and create a perfect Great Qin.
But, he doesn't want to become the second Shang Jun!
I don’t want Zhao Shu to become the second Shang Jun!
As the king, Qin Wangzheng can naturally be safe and sound. The biggest culprits for this matter can only be him and Zhao Shu.
Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng looked solemn.
He naturally understood the meaning of Li Si's words and couldn't help but said to Li Si and Zhao Shu: "Li Qing, Master Shu, are you afraid?"
"The whole world is an enemy, am I not afraid of the king's letter?" Li Si spoke bluntly in the face of Qin Wangzheng.
After all, no one in the Qin Dynasty knew how miserable the previous reformer, Shang Yang, had ended.
Not only was Lord Shang cut into pieces by five horses, but Lord Shang's family was also wiped out.
"People's livelihood is the foundation of the Qin Dynasty!"
Zhao Shu put down the teacup. For the first time, he held up his sword in front of Qin Wangzheng. His tone was cold and murderous: "You can't correct an error without correcting it. If there is an emergency, you must obey the authority!"
"It's better to cry as a family than to cry together!"
"It is better for officials to cry than for ordinary people to cry!"
"Whoever dares to block my great Qin's foundation for eternity, and whoever dares to block the beginning of my great Qin's prosperous age, then kill——!"
"Even if the fear of killing makes the world full of heads, even if the fear of killing makes the world flow like rivers of blood, as long as the Qin Dynasty prospers, the people of the world will be happy!"
"The final general doesn't mind bearing the eternal infamy!"
This was the first time Zhao Shu spoke like this in front of Qin Wangzheng.
They all know that Zhao Shu seems to be decisive in killing, but in fact he is a very gentle person. Even in the army, massacres rarely occur.
The only time was in Dongou.
"Your Majesty, you are too extreme!"
Li Si pondered for a long time, then turned to Zhao Shu and said: "Great Qin still needs Shandong scholars to govern Great Qin, and it also needs nobles to guard Great Qin!"
"These old aristocratic families, nobles, royal families, nobles, and officials are the foundation of Great Qin!"
"No!"
Zhao Shu shook his head, his eyes full of determination: "Teacher, you are wrong!"
"The tens of thousands of people in this world are the foundation of Great Qin!"
"Da Qin is the King's Da Qin. Even if you choose someone to share with, it will definitely not be an official, not a royal family, not a noble, not a noble family, not a noble family, but the people of Da Qin!"
"In our Great Qin, the King of Qin is supreme, but the people are by no means untouchables, and they are definitely not the grass that everyone tramples on. They are the people of our Great Qin, and the people of the King of Qin!"
"They are the food, clothing, and parents of my great nobles of Great Qin and the officials of Great Qin!"
"Every penny of salary spent by our nobles and officials of the Qin Dynasty comes from the taxes they pay!"
"There will be a new family instead of the old family!"
"If there is no noble clan, there will be a new family!"
"If there are no officials, there will be new officials to replace them!"
"But what if there are no more people?"
Having said this, Zhao Shu looked at Qin Wangzheng and Li Si and said bluntly: "When the time comes, will your Majesty be a king or a king?"
"Teacher, is this long history still a long history?"
"When all the people turn their backs on the Great Qin, the Great Qin will fall apart. But if all the people support the Great Qin, the Great Qin will have the possibility of establishing a foundation for eternity!"
"Teacher, although the student has never met the master!"
"However, I have also read Master's "Kingdom" and I really like the sentence in it: The king is like a boat. The common people are like water!"
"Water can carry a boat, water can capsize it!"
"It would be more appropriate to change the last sentence to say that water can carry a boat and also capsize it!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Si fell silent.
Qin Wangzheng took a sip of herbal tea and said to Li Si and Zhao Shu, "Young Master Shu is right. All the people in the world are the common people of Qin, and the people of Weiren!"
"But Li Qing is right, we need those Shandong students to replace our herdsmen!"
"I know this matter well!"
“Any change must be gradual and cannot be made hastily!”
"Of course, I am the king of Da Qin, Gongzi Shu is the son of Da Qin, and Li Qing is also the long history of Da Qin!"
"Any decision must be beneficial to Great Qin!"
"As long as it is beneficial to the Qin Dynasty, we must move forward despite all difficulties and dangers!"
