Chapter 239: The Saint Doesn't Die, the Great Thief...

"Haha, as long as our monarchs and ministers are of the same heart, there will be a day when the world will be truly peaceful. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info[燃^ζ–‡^δΉ¦εΊ“][]. [774] [buy]. Tang Lao looked at it, Rong Qing still has a lot of flowers and intestines that have not been used! Tang Zhao also laughed, and then, with the report of the servant, a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes also bowed in. Rong Qing glanced at it and found that the person who entered the wing room was Qin Ji.

"See the lord."

"Taishou, please take a seat." Rong Qing has already settled everything in Xianxian, I don't know what Qin Ji is still looking for him? Although the military and political power Rong Qing must be grasped in her hands, she has not been involved in civil affairs too much. You must know that the army must not be without money and food, this is actually handing over his net worth and life to Qin Ji and others, although it is impossible to let everyone have the same heart as himself, but Rong Qing has also done his best.

Although Hu Crack can be regarded as under Rongqing and above 10,000 people, he worships the city marquis from afar and does not have the power to manage the administration. And although those generals are Rongqing's old subordinates, they are also constrained by generals like Tang Zhao, whether in theory or in terms of human feelings, they are more or less subject to Qin Ji's control.

Therefore, Rong Qing took Tang Zhao as his deputy, firstly, he could have a discussion with Hu Zhao to avoid arbitrariness and discourse, and secondly, the deputy governor Tang Zhao was controlled by Qin Ji, which was also convenient for Qin Ji to have Tang Zhao in the middle as a mediator at the intersection of civil affairs and military administration. Otherwise, Hu Crack and other generals had an unpleasant encounter with Qin Ji and other civil officials, which Rong Qing did not want to see.

Now it seems that Tang Zhao can grasp this point quite well.

In order to appease the relationship between the old ministry and the generals of Xianxian, and to balance the relationship between the civil servants and the military generals, Rong Qing can be said to have taken a lot of painstaking work. Although she is not good at playing with power, she has debuted for so many years and has been from her hometown. The county sits in the county capital, and it is far from being smart, but the brain is definitely not too stupid. She believes that there must be many people among the ministers who have seen such a pattern, but there is no criticism, which shows that Rong Qing's approach can also satisfy most people.

Everyone has their own bottom line, and Rong Qing will not easily touch the bottom line of the officials and let his backyard catch fire. As for the benefit of the people, the world is governed, then only slowly, the poor are left alone, Rong someone does not have the ability to ask for the people's life now. Sure enough, after Qin Ji sat down, he took out a booklet from his sleeve and said, "Lord, the minister saw him this time, and he occasionally remembered an allusion and wanted to talk to the lord. ”

There were only two big lights lit in the wing, and the firelight was flickering, and Yinyu and other palace ladies were picking up the lights on the side, and they also pricked up their ears to listen to the story that this Taishou Lord actually wanted to tell a story.

"Allusions?"

"This allusion is the story of 'Gong', the disciple of the sage 'Qiu' of the Lu State during the Warring States Period in the Middle Ages." Qin Ji smiled slightly and arched his hand towards Rong Qing. "At that time, there were constant wars in the world, and many soldiers and civilians in Lu were defeated and captured, and suffered in other countries. The king of Lu issued a royal edict, informing the officials and people in the country that no matter who meets their compatriots in their homeland in another country, they can redeem themselves. Upon repatriation, the ransom can be returned from the state treasury. ”

Tang Zhao nodded and said: "I know a little about this allusion for the ministers. At that time, the monarchs and ministers of the Lu State were united, the national strength was getting stronger and stronger, and the world was in the heart! Later, however, 'Gong' ransomed a number of slaves in the Qi State, but after returning to China, he refused to accept the ransom returned by the monarch, which was praised by the people of the world, but only his teacher 'Qiu' rebuked him. 'Qiu' said: You have raised the standard of righteous words, who will give lectures in the future? ”

Hearing this, Rong Qing slowly stood up. Qin Ji continued: "What Lord Tang said is very true. Because not everyone in the Lu country is as wealthy as 'tribute', and later some people ransomed slaves and asked for ransom, and some people blamed them in vain. In this way, no one dares to redeem their slaves, and no one dares to give handouts! The national strength of the Lu State is also getting weaker and weaker, and it has lost its former heyday. ”

"Yes, saints don't die, thieves don't stop!" Rong Qing listened to their recital while slowly pacing in the wing. "In fact, in the world, there are mostly good people, but it is these unconventional false saints who sell their fame and reputation, and set the standard of good people higher and higher, so that the people in Kyushu are full of grievances and turmoil! Twenty-four filial piety and seventy-two sages all day long, is it possible that these birdmen are gentlemen in this world, and everyone else is birds. Beast? ! ”

For this, Rong Qing hated it deeply. Not everyone has so much financial resources and energy to give, some people dedicate and still spend all day and wine, but others donate but have no food and clothing. The ruling class of all dynasties likes to flaunt these pseudo-saints, hypocrites as the world's armor, but their original intention is to fool the people and control the ministers, but the final result is to make the world lose morality, undoubtedly self-destruction of the Great Wall.

Qin Ji arched his hand and said: "The lord is now a prince, so he must not go astray. After the Jingyuan rice matured, the bumper harvest of salty grain rice was twice as much as in previous years! It's just that the ministers have some objections to the matter of the lord's taxation. ”

"Oh...... Please speak too much. When Rong Qing heard this, he seemed to understand a little.

"No. In the past, the yield per mu of early rice and late rice in the south of the Yangtze River was about one stone, while the yield of Jingyuan rice per mu was three stones. According to the well field endowment, in the past, the common people had to pay a tax of one stone for every nine acres of land, but after the expansion of the army, it increased to three stones. But now, the lord is collecting taxes of nine stones, and the minister thinks that although the lord intends to benefit the people, he cannot lose his roots. ”

Rong Qing didn't say much, but motioned for Qin Ji to continue.

"The lord goes to the county with benevolence and righteousness, and he needs to understand the meaning of the word benevolence and righteousness. Benevolence is benevolence, righteousness, and faithfulness, and the wisdom of the people is not opened, even if the world is under great rule, and it cannot be rich. But the lord thought that if every household of the people had enough food and clothing, it would inevitably give birth to inertia; But if everyone is not good enough to eat and cloth, there will be a civil uprising! Whoever is a ruler must be aware of the feelings of the people, so that the people will be hungry but not cold, full and not lazy, otherwise they will be born in sorrow, and they will die in peace. ”

"Besides, there are many princes in Kyushu, and the lord's move will not only raise the people, but also raise the righteousness of the princes, and truly become the one who is lost! If the lord does not restrain himself from the precipice, the princes of the world will inevitably raise troops to attack the lord, and even Emperor Dajin will not connive. With all due respect, the lord's move is already close to 'tribute'. ”

"......" Rong Qing blinked slightly, listening to Qin Ji continue: "In ancient times, holy rice was all over the world, why hasn't the ancient dynasty been handed down to this day? All because the ancient immortals are all over the place, the monarchs and ministers are worry-free, and the country is always dead. Although the lord has the blessing to get this fine rice, he can use it to get the world, and if he doesn't use it, he will be the world. The minister is bold and courageous, and hopes that the lord will accept it! ”

After Qin Ji finished speaking, he bowed his hands and presented his own recital.

"Lord Taishou is really well-intentioned, this point, this palace did not expect." Rong Qing let Yinyu take over the fold, glanced at it a few times, and nodded suddenly. In his previous life, Rong Qing once thought that if he was lucky enough to make a fortune, he would be able to eat at home and wait for death. Not to mention the people of Dajin, but outside the South China Sea of Kyushu, there are some indigenous people of the island countries, where there are abundant products, and they can barely eat without labor.

But as a result, it is not even a country, but just a group of primitive tribes. Reminiscent of the primeval period, in ancient times, the land of Kyushu could not be called a country, and it was also a tribe.

Qin Ji's talent may not be as high as that of many people, but after all, he has been sitting in the position of Taishou for so many years, and his vision is much higher. This is also the reason why Rong Qing wants to establish a Legalist Hanmen regime, but still reuses the clan; The clan can not only consolidate her position, but also broaden her horizons, Rong Qing is not an almighty immortal, without assistance, he can't achieve anything great at all.

"In my opinion, what should the tax reform be?"

"A whip is a new endowment!" Qin Ji decisively gave his hand, "The minister has already written in the fold that there are three stones per mu, two of which are given by the lord, and the people can't take one more percent!" If there is more than one, it is necessary to serve hard labor, accounting for one percent, serving one month, accounting for three percent, serving half a year; If they do not occupy it, they are exempt from hard labor. When the lord was in the middle of the season, the people had taxes and labor, and now let them reduce or reduce one, it will definitely be the will of the people! ”

Qin Ji said, Rong Qing also stood up, and walked back and forth in the wing room a few times.

"And the labor is hard, my Jiangnan rice is harvested twice a year, so one household will only account for 30% more taxes at most. In this way, the lord has won the hearts of the people, and has nearly twice as much money and food to expand his armament, why not do it? Moreover, although the officials of the various ministries have already attached themselves to the lord, the matter of kicking and smashing and fighting cannot be avoided. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and I hope that the lord will focus on the great cause and think twice! ”
