"Project tender?"???

As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military officials in the court looked at each other again.

They all looked confused, wondering what the hell was this project bidding.

Fusu had an illusion that it seemed that in front of Li Zhongcheng, everyone became idiots, they couldn't understand anything, and they had to ask him everything.

There was no way, and he couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, so he decided not to be ashamed to ask: "Zhongcheng, what does this project bidding mean? Can it really solve the problem of corvee labor?"

Everyone looked at Li Yang with curiosity.

Li Yang nodded and said, "Project bidding means to contract projects such as Mount Li and Great Wall to some powerful merchants, so that merchants can find someone to build construction. In this way, merchants can make profits from the price difference, and the people can also earn money and grain to solve livelihood problems. However, our Daqin does not have the suspicion of violating the new law. More importantly, the project can proceed smoothly all year round."

"What? Contract all these projects to merchants!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked.

This is not to say that these projects cannot be hired by merchants, but that these projects are so difficult and difficult to carry out by the whole country. Then, those merchants... can they do it? Could a merchant be even more powerful than my entire Great Qin Kingdom?

Obviously, this is impossible!

Suddenly, everyone felt that Li Yang was a little drifty and was too self-righteous.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Yang had talked about so much about it, Feng Quji would have wanted to scold Li Yang for being a fool!

Such a huge country project, contracted to merchants to do, is simply ridiculous and outrageous!

Although Feng Quji refused to scold Li Yang for his randomness in person, he still asked directly: "Does Li Zhongcheng think that merchants can do such a huge project? Moreover, even if merchants can do it, merchants still need to find civil servants. If civil servants are recruited by merchants, wouldn't it be no one to farm again?"

Li Yang had long guessed that they would have this question and said directly: "Feng Xiang didn't know that the two are very different from the state's recruitment of labor. The country's recruitment of labor has to follow, and the world's people have to go according to the situation. In this way, the people can go to the place where they work according to their own situation, earn money and grain, and serve the country."

When everyone heard this, they were silent for a moment, because the reason Li Yang said seemed to make some sense.

Feng Quji also frowned and began to get tired of Li Yang's words.

Seeing that everyone did not immediately refute or question, Li Yang knew that what he said was not wrong, so he continued: "You should know more clearly than the original tax of my Daqin. The land tax is as high as 30% and the people need to pay two stones of chestnut rice, but they only get one stone. However, I Daqin, the per capita farming area is 12 mu and the yield per mu of six stones is only one year. The country is rich and can fully bear the money of employment. Moreover, the people work for profit, I dare to assert that the efficiency must be several times more than before."

Li Yang calculated very clearly that in the Qin Dynasty, one stone was equal to 30 kilograms of later generations, and one acre of field chestnut rice was only 6 kilograms, that is, 180 kilograms. The total cultivation area in the Qin Dynasty reached nearly 2.3 billion to 2.5 billion mu, that is, the annual output of chestnut rice could reach 450 billion kilograms, and the land tax was 300 billion kilograms.

Just imagine, the total population of Daqin is 20 million, and the people keep 150 billion kilograms of grain, which can be heated and protected. The Daqin treasury has 300 billion kilograms of grain per year, which is twice that of the people in the world. If the country only needs to raise one million troops, the people do not need to raise them. So much grain is naturally enough to support them to undertake projects.

In fact, there are also relevant records in historical books, saying that "one man holds five people to cure hundreds of fields", which is the level of productivity at that time. A middle-aged man with a family of five people can cultivate hundreds of acres of land. There are also records that "the man eats nine people on the ground and the man eats five people on the ground. It can be beneficial, but not damaged. One person treats him, ten people eat him, and all six animals are in it."

All these show that at that time, one person could feed ten people, but because the tax was heavy, two-thirds of it was handed over to the country, so in this way, the people were only able to protect themselves, and the surplus grain was all in the national treasury.

This is why, the Qin State conscripted all the young and strong laborers, but still could persist until today, raising two million servants to eat and drink every year until today.

It is because the land tax is so heavy that the land and grain collected in full a year can support the military and political affairs and the two million servants for several years.

Moreover, the Cangluan Rule says that "there are sliss like hills in the Qin State" and "the Qin State is ten times richer than the world", all of which show that the Qin State has a large amount of grain, and even granaries are spread all over the counties and townships in various places.

Are you shocked or surprised? This is different from the history you understand. In ancient times, people had so much food, but everyone remembered that they were not busy with their lives, hunger and food, and they were suffering.

In fact, this is because there have been many wars, excessive corvee service in the past dynasties, and various disasters.

This is why, once all dynasties are stable, they will be prosperous. In the five thousand years of dynasties in China, all prosperous times are like this. A little stable is prosperous.

Throughout the ages, what was lacking was not food, but peace and stability.

Li Yang knew that the treasury was full and the project bidding could be fully realized.

After hearing what Li Yang said, Feng Quji was still puzzled and asked again: "According to Li Zhongcheng's plan, we will hand over the project to the merchants. If the merchants give low wages, the people will naturally refuse to work. If the wages are high, the people will work and not do farm work. How can this be solved?"

Li Yang smiled and said, "Feng Xiang is worried! How smart the merchants are, how could they not know how many people should be used? The wages are too low, so there is no one to work, so the wages are naturally higher than the matter of farming. As for who can work and when to work, it is the business of the people and the merchants. Even if someone gives up farming, it is just for work a year, so what's wrong? As long as he can pay enough land tax at home. The country can collect the land tax in full every year, and the project can be run. The people either farm, work, or work, or work while working, and then work during the slack farming period. This can ensure that they have a worry-free livelihood. In this way, the Qin Dynasty can be safe!"

After listening, everyone began to think.

In the Qilin Palace, it became strangely silent.

After a long time, it seemed that they had made it clear, and their eyes were lit up and their faces looked excited.

Some people were even more excited and couldn't help but clap their hands and applaud!

Feng Quji's eyes were also shining at this time, and he felt like he was suddenly enlightened and seeing the sun. He suddenly realized that if he did it according to the method Li Yang said, it seemed that it could not only guarantee the livelihood of the people, but also ensure national taxes, and also make the national project go smoothly.

Thinking of this, Feng Quji was excited and looked at Li Yang with great surprise. He found that this young man was always surprised, and he always felt that he was eye-opening and subverting his cognition.

Starting from his offering of immortal medicine, his analysis of the law, reform of the new law, and today's sustainable development strategy all give people a wonderful experience of clearing the clouds and fogs and suddenly enlightening.

He could see the key points of the problem at a glance.

The problems that no one can solve can be easily solved in front of him...

A unique vision, novel theories, and novel methods are truly a genius of the world!

Feng Quji rarely admired anyone, but this time he was really convinced and bowed deeply: "Li Zhongcheng's plan is really a reminder of the dreamer, and he told me to wake up from the dream, and I was amazed."

A group of civil and military ministers also bowed to Li Yang and said, "I admire you, the great talent of the Central Chief!"

Li Yang hurriedly bowed his hand, as a gift, but his face was filled with enjoying the feeling of praise.

Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief when his policies were recognized and supported by civil and military officials of the court. At the same time, he found it funny. He remembered that in the past world, many people used "placing tiles on the Great Wall" as jokes, but today, he really turned this joke into a fact.

Moreover, this kind of bidding is not just about sticking tiles to the Great Wall as small as tiles, but directly building the Great Wall.

I don’t know how this will be written in future history books?

Thinking of this, Li Yang grinned and couldn't help but smile proudly.

Of course, Fusu was also stunned by Li Yang's strategy. This time, he was really shocked by Li Yang's talent.

Who dares to think about disbanding all the servants?

No one dares to leave the projects such as Mount Li, Afang, and the Great Wall to merchants to do.

More importantly, all these seemingly outrageous ideas, combined together, seem to be able to solve the problems of Daqin.

call……

Fusu was so shocked that he couldn't speak at this moment that he admired Benyang so much that he was so impressed.

Now, he finally understood why his father was willing to dismiss all his servants, and even more so why his father valued this person so much.

This person is a very human!
