Chapter 314 Suspicion
"I grew up in Zhao State since I was young, and what I have experienced along the way is nothing but what a proton has experienced." Ying Zheng did not speak directly about his intentions, but talked about his childhood.
All the ministers listen quietly.
As for the childhood that Ying Zheng mentioned, there was a bit of real situation, and they didn't care.
The most important thing is that such a story is told from such a person's mouth and on such an occasion.
What does it represent?
"There is a blood feud between Qin and Zhao, so the Zhao people hate Qin people,"
"And I am a perfect Qin man."
Ying Zheng shook his head: "So, when I was young, I really suffered some hardships."
"Fortunately, I have learned from this that the days of the gangsters and common people are so sad."
"Zhao's land is barren, with a grain yield of 69 jin and 14 liang per mu."
"By the weight and measure of Qin, it is more than seventy kilograms."
"But their acres are larger than that of Qin."
"In the end, according to my senior brother once estimated, the grain output in Zhao was less than that of Qin."
"In addition, the land merger has not much land in the hands of the common people, so they live in a difficult situation."
"Wealth is also relatively concentrated due to the distribution of land."
"The more interesting thing is..." Ying Zheng looked around the ministers: "On the contrary, these nobles who own more land pay less taxes!"
"The taxes the country can receive are more than apart from those of our Qin State."
"The treasury is not abundant."
"That is why there are very few officials in their territory, and the country has the same status as the country's countryside!"
"Even without Zhao State, the people of Zhao may have lived a better life!" Ying Zheng shook his head: "For such a country, it is very difficult not to build a 300-mile canal for the people, or to build a straight road!"
"What do you think, Zhao State, such a country?"
"Ao thought that Zhao State was not good!" Meng Ao stood up, stepped out, bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "For countries like Zhao State, there are few officials because of their low taxes, and their ability to control and master the people is extremely poor!"
"That means that during war, there are very few qualified soldiers they can find!"
"In addition, the little nobles suppressed the land, just keeping the wealth in front of their homes. Therefore, the people will inevitably suffer from internal turmoil."
Ying Zheng praised and looked at Meng Ao: "What Taifu Meng said is just what I see, and he competes with what I see!"
Meng Ao bowed and returned to his seat.
There is nothing to say about the blacklist of Zhao, it’s normal.
But has Ying Zheng really seen those?
Meng Ao doesn't think so.
Maybe, it's just an excuse?
However, the meaning of such excuses can be expressed is already very obvious!
Taking the example of Zhao State proves that Ying Zheng does not want something like Zhao State to happen in Qin State.
Land annexation, excessive wealth concentration, aristocrats pay less taxes, and the government has poor control over grassroots levels.
What Ying Zheng wants is the opposite!
but……
Everyone looked at each other without saying a word.
Some people poured the wine, drank it slowly, and looked at Ying Zheng coldly.
Not allowing land mergers means not allowing everyone to develop and accumulate wealth normally.
Can this work?
It definitely can't be done!
Those who have tasted the sweetness are not willing to stop expanding!
Some people began to shake.
Most people are still waiting and watching.
Because Ying Zheng has not finished speaking yet.
The previous words are just setting the tone, and the latter ones are really important.
"I don't want Qin to become a country like Zhao."
"Otherwise, I will be ashamed of the previous king and my ancestors!" Ying Zheng sighed: "But I still want everyone to have their own land and wealth."
"So I began to think of privatizing the land."
"But at the beginning, I was young, so all kinds of unreasonable ideas were just speculations by the children."
"Unreasonable, unfounded."
"Later, I met the Yan Kingdom's Protective Zi Dan."
"Friend with him and listen to him telling the situation of Yanguo."
"The situation in Yan State is more complicated than that in Zhao State."
"Because some places in Yan Kingdom are extremely poor, and some places are rich and rich." Ying Zheng said in a tone of chanting: "I heard from him that Yan Kingdom has Taibai Mountain, which has snow all year round, but the abundant resources are comparable to Yunmeng Lake!"
"In the middle, you can knock and kill elk-like roe deer with a wooden stick, or you can scoop into the water to scoop fat fish!"
"As long as you are willing to move, you won't be hungry!"
"That kind of land..." Ying Zheng exclaimed: "I want it too!"
"What I have thought about is, if I, Qin State, had such land... how good would it be?"
But the problem is...
Everyone looked at each other.
That was the territory of the Hu people.
There are barriers from Qin, Han, Zhao, Yan and Wei.
Ying Zheng wanted that piece of land unless he defeated these countries and took the opportunity to pass by.
Or.
A bright and hot light shot out from old Meng Ao's eyes.
He needs a huge war!
Meng Ao was defeated by Wei Wuji two years ago and became a wedding dress for a lifetime.
Now that he is in poor health, he is increasingly trying to put a perfect end to his life with a great victory.
So he heard a trace of overbearing murderous aura from Ying Zheng's words.
What he heard Ying Zheng's words were: "I want to destroy these countries!"
"Zhao State is not good, it is weak! I want to destroy Zhao State and collect all its land!"
"Yan Country is rich, I want its rich territory, I want to destroy Yan Country!"
"The Hu people have a wealthy territory, and I want to destroy the Hu people!"
“I want to get the land I want!”
Meng Ao's heart was stirred and his blood was boiling in his body.
Such an ambitious monarch!
This is exactly what Meng Ao needs.
When a general was dying, what he hoped was the last battle in his life, a victory, not a great defeat that had been famous in history.
"Now the Qin State does not have those lands, but we might as well imagine how to manage it after owning those lands." Ying Zheng said: "I often think that the more I think, the more I feel that when there are no such lands, some rules should be established, otherwise it will be very troublesome in the future!"
"The king means..." Meng Ao asked, "Now we need to set our future strategy?"
"That's it." Ying Zheng nodded.
"The king is very ambitious!" Meng Ao sighed deeply: "I am willing to support the king's ambition."
"Okay!" Ying Zheng took a sip of wine: "Then some things need to be said in advance."
"Everyone listen to it, look at my words, do you support it or not..."
"I want to make the entire Qin State establish a peasant association."
"A farmer's association with one place."
"The common people gathered together, and the land belonged to them by themselves, but in the form of a peasant association, they carried out direct and deeper management of various places than before."
"This kind of management requires more scholars on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also enable the gangsters to have enough tools such as oxen, iron plows, iron axes, iron hoes."
"In this way, farmers can do their jobs easily, and officials expand according to Xianyang's model. Two types a year, and the food will increase a lot. At the same time, the tax issue is no longer a problem."
"And what they end up with can be determined by the amount of land they own."
"And among them is what I and the ministers said, sharing power."
"Your children can go to various places to manage the farmers' association!"
Everyone was surprised and confused.
In order to fight against everyone, this little Qin king had previously seized the small nobles from all over the country and established an assessment system. Why is he now willing to give up his management power at the grassroots level?
