Fusu also frowned slightly, and was very puzzled.

If the labor service is just a busy farming period, what is the difference between this and the light labor service you have advised in the past?

Moreover, when I first advised to reduce labor service, I only reduced the number of labor service. On the one hand, I would protect people's livelihood, and on the other hand, I would not affect the progress of projects such as Afang Palace, Great Wall, and Mount Li.

However, the strategy mentioned by Li Yang is completely guaranteed, and the taxes of the Qin Dynasty are obviously rich, but these three major projects will be greatly affected. If both worlds are in good condition, this strategy is not as good as the one I made at the beginning to reduce the number of corvee workers.

Fusu was wondering why Li Yang came up with such a broken idea, but he was still so confident.

Speaking of which, feeling the surprised gazes of the people in the hall, Li Yang naturally understood the doubts in their hearts.

In today's era, agriculture is not as developed as later generations, and the farming area is large, reaching 2.5 billion mu, with an average of 12 or 3 mu of arable land per capita. Therefore, farmers turn over the land in spring, sow seeds, weeding in summer, protecting grains, and harvesting in autumn. After working so hard, it is truly a slack time for farming, and there are only three months left in winter.

From this point of view, the construction period of the previous year will naturally become four years before it can be completed, and it is not a big mistake for them to question this.

Li Yang looked at Feng Quji and He Zhang and said, "Feng Xiang, General He asked well. Logically speaking, only the slack farming period will be used to complete the labor service, which will indeed affect national construction. Even, it is not as good as the method of reducing the number of labor service proposed by His Highness Feng Xiang and Fusu in the past. However..."

Li Yang glanced at everyone and smiled and said, "But you have ever thought about how to reduce the number of labor workers if you just reduce the number of labor workers? Two million vocational husbands, and five hundred thousand vocational husbands will be sent back to farm?"

Before Feng Quji could reply, Fusu, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, couldn't help but nod and said, "That's right, this method can not only ease the livelihood of the people, but also protect the construction of the country as scheduled. Does Lord Zhongcheng think that it is not as good as your strategy to sever all the farming busyness?"

Everyone nodded and agreed with Fusu's words.

Li Yang was not at all displeased, did not say good or bad, but just chuckled and said, "Gu Ran can do the strategy of reducing the number of people in the throne, but I have a question and want to ask Your Highness."

Fusu stretched out his hand and signaled: "Let me say it."

Li Yang said: "I want to ask your highness if you have ever thought that if two million servants are dismissed, these five hundred thousand servants will only cultivate their own fields and only pay the taxes that their families should pay. The other one million and five hundred thousand servants cannot return home to farm all year round. All the elderly and weak women and wives in the family starve to death. Although the taxes paid by the 500,000 people who returned home to farm can still support our military and political affairs, it is difficult to support our Qin Dynasty. In this way, wouldn't we have only 500,000 families left in our Qin Dynasty? And those national projects have also died abruptly?"

"…………” The whole audience was silent, and everyone was stunned by this question!

Fusu was also speechless when asked directly, and was completely stunned on the spot.

Fusu has always felt that the light labor service strategy he mentioned can be called the best strategy for both worlds, but now after Li Yang asked this, he suddenly realized that the method he had previously mentioned to reduce the number of labor service seemed to have huge flaws.

If 500,000 of the 2 million corvee workers were disbanded, it would be obvious that these 500,000 would be impossible to support the entire Qin Empire.

And such consequences...

Fusu pondered for a moment, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out. He found that such consequences would indeed be as Li Yang said. In the end, the country was still trapped in a quagmire, and the other 1.5 million soldiers and their families were hard to survive.

Thinking of this, Fusu suddenly felt like he was being held in the head. His past confidence and past belief collapsed at this moment, feeling extremely frustrated, and his heart suddenly became empty, as if his soul had been knocked out by this handful.

He never dreamed that the policy and strategy that had been regarded as a way to save the Qin Dynasty had such big loopholes and defects, and these loopholes and defects that had never been considered made the strategy of simply reducing the number of corvee workers seem worthless and useless!

At this moment, Fusu was really completely confused...

Of course, Feng Quji and the civil and military ministers in the court did not expect that the final result would be so bad if the number of people who were given labor service was reduced.

Surprised, surprised, confused...

Everyone feels like an idiot, but never thought that the result of light labor would be like this.

call……

Feng Quji was so shocked that he could no longer speak.

The advice I have been giving to the emperor for several years is so unbearable. What’s even more ridiculous is that I didn’t know it before and complained that the emperor did not listen to the advice, and felt deeply wronged and sad.

Now it seems that if His Majesty listens to his advice, what is the difference?

Originally, I thought that his "light labor service" strategy was more beautiful than Li Yang's "light labor service" strategy. Now it seems that it is not as good as his "light labor service" strategy. At least it can allow all the people in the world to be busy with farming during the busy farming period. Although national construction will be affected, the people can live and work in peace.

He sighed in his heart, and Feng Quji suddenly seemed to be bald and felt that he was so useless.

At this time, he had to admit that Li Yang's view of the profoundness and comprehensiveness of the problem was not comparable to himself. He couldn't help but bow and said, "Li Zhongcheng's words made Feng feel extremely ashamed. Unexpectedly, the countermeasures we came up with in the past were also strategies to ruin the country. I... I am guilty!"

After saying that, Feng Quji bowed to Ying Zheng with great pain and apologized for his own fault.

Ying Zheng reached out to support him and said, "Feng Xiang is dedicated to my Qin Dynasty, and he is working hard. What is the crime? Feng Xiang should continue to listen to Li Zhongcheng's talk about his sustainable development strategy with me!"

"I... thank you Your Majesty!"

Feng Quji was moved, and then retreated to the ranks of officials, waiting for Li Yang to teach the sustainable development strategy.

Feng Quji could feel that Li Yang's sustainable development strategy was not just about allowing the people to live and work in peace, otherwise the emperor would not have agreed to disband all his servants.

To be honest, Feng Quji couldn't wait to hear Li Yang's high opinion at this moment.

After completely rejecting the past strategy with a question and completely rejected it, Li Yang felt quite content. He smiled and continued: "My lords, after many discussions before, it can be seen now. Whether it is based on the current situation or the reduction of the number of corvee workers, it is unsustainable. However, what I want to tell you is that what is sustainable? Sustainability means that people are not exhausted, food is not exhausted, and national strength is not exhausted. All three are not exhausted, and they can be continuously and conveniently sustainable."

"And if all these three are inexhaustible, there is only one way to disband all servants, and to plough young and strong laborers across the country, and to work hard to farm. In this way, people can live, have abundant food, sufficient taxes, and have rich national strength. Based on this, the Qin Empire can last for ten thousand years."

Everyone nodded and agreed with this.

Su Fu's eyes lit up, as if he had seen the infinite hope of the Qin Dynasty. However, after thinking about it carefully, he was a little confused and couldn't help asking: "Dare you ask Li Zhongcheng, the prosperity of the country and the peace of the people is the blessing of the people, and it is also the blessing of my Qin Dynasty. However, during the busy farming period, there is no obligation to be corvee service. This... is still difficult to solve the current construction of the country?"

Li Yang smiled discontently and said, "Project tender!"
