Chapter 535: Shang Yang's Reform
Hanzhong!
Received news from Chang'an.
Zhang Qiu and others were stunned.
"The Great Zhou army not only destroyed the 700,000 Chu Yue army, but also seized Wu Pass. Chu Yue stopped increasing its troops to Wu Pass through the scriptures. It seems that it is going to cease war!"
"Even if Chu Yue State and Great Zhou are not well-established, there will be no war in a short time."
Zhang Qiu listened to his subordinates' analysis, clenched his fists and stared at the map tightly.
All in my eyes was unwilling.
Ye Qing miraculously reversed the desperate situation in Guanzhong.
The danger of a country that is about to be destroyed will be eliminated.
"Lord, not only that, I heard that the Khan of the Turkic people in the north has also been killed by Bai Qi and others. The 50,000 army was almost wiped out, and the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty has also stabilized!"
Another great victory, blooming from north to south, and winning with less!
How could Ye Qing’s people be so capable?
This Bai Qi, an unknown person, is the general.
Only Ye Qing dares to do this.
Zhang Qiu let go of his fist, turned to sit down, and rubbed his temples.
"There are any unfavorable news, let's finish it together!"
"Lord, South Korea withdrew its troops and did not occupy Luoyang. The State of Wei also retreated back to its original border."
"Now Ye Qing also announced... that our Zhang family was given a rebel and that he had cut off the title of Hedong Hou. In addition to the genealogy, the lady also... also invaded the ye court."
After hearing this, Zhang Qiu was furious and slapped the table.
"Excessive, damn bastard, actually humiliated my sister so much!"
The rest of Zhang Qiu endured it, but what they did was to rebel.
Ye Jin was pushed to the throne by him and established his capital in Nanzheng.
But his sister treated Ye Zhen's concubine well and was demoted to the Yeting Court.
Ye Qing doesn't want to be kind anymore.
I plan to die just now and completely break up.
"Father, what should we do now? Should we send someone to assassinate Ye Qing?" Zhang Lu asked.
But he regretted it after asking.
There is no sixth-grade warrior in Hanzhong, and even two fifth-grade warriors were killed by Zhang Sanfeng.
It is really harder to go to Chang'an to kill Ye Qing, who was protected by masters.
"Don't worry about him, do our own business, quickly defeat the country of chin, and solve the country of Ba, we can unify the three places and two countries, form an empire with huge territory, and develop rapidly from then on, and then we will have the strength to compete for Guanzhong." Zhang Qiu thought for a while and said:
"Send people to contact Chu Yue Kingdom, and now you can form an alliance. If Chu Yue Kingdom is willing to help us, you can use Ziwu Valley to send troops to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes shone.
This bait was thrown well.
I believe that the people of Chu Yue will be moved.
"Lord, if Chu Yue Kingdom agrees, we can ask Chu Yue Kingdom to send experts to help us attack Ba, so that it will be easier to unify the land of Bashu!"
The counselor suggested.
Others nodded frequently.
…………
Chang'an!
In Tai Chi Palace.
"Your Majesty, the martial arts lecture hall and the Dayan Martial Arts Department have been completed. We are preparing to start recruiting students from the First Realm martial arts classroom, and select available talents for the empire with the first Dayan Martial Arts Department National Martial Arts Competition!"
Ye Qing said: "Yes, I will ask someone to allocate money and grain from the inner treasury to you."
"At the same time, I will award them the excellent students in the martial arts competition titles and martial arts positions. Try to mobilize the warriors of my Great Zhou and select talented people as much as possible!"
"It's Your Majesty!"
After Zhang Sanfeng, Lan Dong, Hua Bei and others retreated, Shang Yang walked in.
"Your Majesty, this is the Great Zhou criminal law that I and the Ministry of Justice have revised over the past few days. Take a look!"
Because of paper, complicated laws can be condensed on a manuscript.
Ye Qing opened it and looked at a few pages, but closed it without reading it.
"After a few glances, it should be better than the original one. You should tell me in detail about the additional or deleted ones. I will read it slowly when I have time!"
Shang Yang then talked about the most important part.
Finally, he said: "Lord, there is one of them. I think it is an urgent task. I must do it immediately."
"What you are talking about is re-registering and registering registered population and land!" Ye Qing said:
"Then contact the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Agriculture, and your Ministry of Justice will take the lead and continue to do this. It also stipulates that those with more land in the future should pay more taxes, and those with more military service and pay land taxes according to the ladder."
"It's Your Majesty!"
Ye Qing had already mentioned this method, so Shang Yang took out something from his cuff.
"Your Majesty, I have drafted a reform decree called "The Reclamation of Grass". Please take a look!"
"The Order of Reclamation of Grass" is very familiar.
Ye Qing asked him to report to him. After seeing it, he had both joy and sorrow.
Shang Yang was a little nervous.
"It is OK to add a continuous sanction, but it is not appropriate to use severe punishment for minor crimes. It is better to measure the crime according to the sentence, otherwise people's hearts will be too rigid!"
"Abolish the old system of nobles, reward military merits, prohibit private fights, and promulgate the twenty-level title system based on military merits. This is feasible, but it must be postponed. Now the Great Zhou has just won a great victory, and our people have just held the power of all parties and are not yet stable. We are postponing this matter until the twelfth lunar month!"
"It is not advisable to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce. Our Zhou Dynasty should focus on agriculture and commerce, and focus more on military industry.
It is necessary to reward farming and weaving, especially land reclamation. It is unnecessary to limit the scope of business operations. It is not conducive to the development of commerce and trade. It is possible to pay attention to commercial taxes. The more extravagant things are, the higher the tax rate can be increased and how high it will be. I don’t need extravagant enjoyment in the Great Zhou Dynasty. We should advocate frugality and focus on practicality!”
"Encourage foreign immigration and reward land. This can be found, not only those who refer to their hometown to our Great Zhou, but also receive special rewards for the introduction, not only money, grain, and even titles."
After reading it, Ye Qing put down the book: "Just follow what I just said, change it, wait a moment, and then execute it!"
"It's Your Majesty, I know how to do it."
Most of them were accepted by Ye Qing, and there were many modifications and filled in. Shang Yang was quite satisfied with the scriptures.
In addition to every revision of Ye Qing, he demonstrated his wisdom.
These are much better than what you think about.
Therefore, Shang Yang felt that Ye Qing was a natural emperor and reformer.
Thoughts and actions are far better than others.
After sending Shang Yang, Ye Qing got up, stretched his waist, looked at the sky and said, "Play the Jingtai Palace!"
It has been a long time since I went there for Empress Dowager Dong Hao.
After Xiao Huan entered the palace, she lived directly in Jingtai Palace.
Jingtai Palace is still as quiet as a guest, with few people inside, and there are no soldiers on duty or eunuchs and palace maids outside.
Ye Qing walked in, walked through the bamboo path with a small step, and soon arrived at the plum garden.
"Qing'er is here?"
From a distance, Empress Dowager Dong smelled Ye Qing's smell.
Xiaohuan turned around in surprise and indeed sent Ye Qing out.
His eyes suddenly smiled, and his hands were still pinching his clothes with his feet.
Old Empress Dowager Dong chuckled, shook her head slightly, and reached out to grab Xiaohuan's right hand.
"Great grandmother is healthy!" Ye Qing approached and asked him to say hello in rudely.
"It's pretty good, don't worry about me, the old lady." Old lady Dong asked:
"How do you feel when you become an emperor now? If you have any national affairs, you can ask me, an old lady. There are many interesting stories you don't know about the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I still know them."
