Chapter 716: Experimental Base
At the same time, the role of these two decrees is not only simple.
The more important purpose is to absorb the population from the feudal monarch, and turn the common people from the private property of the nobles into the commoners of the state.
As long as the people flee from the nobility, then surrender to the counties as thieves, and then reclaim a field, after two years they will become good citizens of the state, protected by the laws of the state, and will no longer be killed and taken by the nobles.
Xiong Huai believed that if these two decrees were published in the state of Chu, many people would turn their backs on the nobility and then take refuge in the state again.
After all, there is no way out, and vassals who are akin to slaves are far inferior to commoners with all kinds of power.
Reclamation and Zhao'an, the two complement each other, that is, they can prevent the people from continuing to flow to the feudal monarch and become the private property of the feudal monarch. and can absorb the people from the feudal king.
With this increase and decrease, it is foreseeable that after the implementation of these two decrees, the strength of the country will become stronger and stronger, and the strength of the feudal monarch will become weaker and weaker.
Coupled with the decree of the dispatch of Ling Yin, with the cooperation of each other, it will not take many years for the power in the hands of the feudal monarch to be transferred to the hands of Ling Yin.
At that time, the harm of the feudal monarch to the country was greatly reduced.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai couldn't help but nodded.
Then, Xiong Huai remembered that the feudal monarchs were not stupid, and they would not watch the power in their hands shrink day by day.
Perhaps, once these two decrees are officially promulgated, the people of insight among the feudal kings will join forces with everyone and then rebel en masse.
Thinking about it, he hesitated and said: "Xianqing, although these two decrees are good, but at present, the strength of the feudal monarchs in various places is still strong, and the power of the counties is still in the hands of the county Yin. โ
Qu Yuan nodded and said: "The king, the minister also has this doubt, so he asked the king to be tax-free in northern Hanbei for two years. โ
Speaking of this, Qu Yuan arched his hand and said: "Great King, now that all the fiefs of the monarchs of Hanbei have been restored to the state, at this time, counties can be set up in Hanbei to take back all the lands of Hanbei to be state-owned. After March, the talents recommended from all over the country arrived in Yingdu. At that time, you can choose the best arrangement in Hanbei, and in the next two years, you can verify the two methods of reclamation and recruitment in Hanbei to eliminate disadvantages and promote benefits.
After the law of Hanbei matures, three or five years later, the officials of Hanbei are already familiar with the matter of changing the law, and they can preside over the change of law from other places. Moreover, at that time, the county officials went deep into the localities. And the Ling Yin of the feudal monarchs in various places must have gained a firm foothold in the fiefdoms of the feudal monarchs, among them, the local Ling Yin has more or less obtained a part of the power from the feudal monarchs, and the strength of the feudal monarchs has been weakened and balanced by Ling Yin.
At that time, the law of Hanbei could be promoted throughout the country, and the law of reclamation and recruitment of security could be officially promulgated throughout the country, and the population competition with the feudal monarchs throughout the country. โ
Then, Qu Yuan smiled, his eyes showing expectation: "In this way, after more than ten years, when the strength of the feudal monarch is weakened to a certain extent, he can officially recognize private land, turn Wang Tian into private land, and tax all fields in the country, regardless of whether they are high or low."
In this way, twenty years later, the country will be rich, and there will be no need to worry about money and food. โ
"Ten years, twenty years!" Xiong Huai was silent for a moment when he heard this.
Twenty years is too long, and he doesn't know if he can live another twenty years.
It's just that Xiong Huai also knows that this kind of thing can't be rushed, after all, whether it is Wei or Qin, it took decades from the beginning of the law change to the display of the results of the law change.
Changing the law is never achieved overnight, and patience is required.
And...
Xiong Huai looked at Qu Yuan in front of him, although he himself was not young, but Qu Yuan was not very old, he was only in his thirties at the moment, less than forty.
Even if he can't see that day, Qu Yuan is definitely okay.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai smiled: "Okay, just do what Xianqing said, the widow will fully support Xianqing." โ
Saying that, Xiong Huai frowned: "It's just that, Xianqing, to take this method first in Hanbei, you need a great sage who is proficient in changing the law to sit in Hanbei!" โ
Speaking of this, Xiong Huai looked at Qu Yuan and said: "Xianqing has been away from the capital for several years, and it was not easy to return to Yingdu again, how can he leave again." Moreover, the matter of changing the law is complicated, and the DPRK and China need Xianqing to preside over the overall situation.
Therefore, I don't know what Xianqing thinks, who can preside over the overall situation in Hanbei? โ
Qu Yuan had been prepared for this for a long time, and immediately responded: "Great King, when the minister was in Xiangyang, he met a great sage, and when the minister saw his erudition and talent, he worshipped him as a teacher, and asked him for advice day and night, and gained a lot. In the past few years, Xiangyang City has been built from scratch, and Mr. has participated in it all, and he is very proficient in the matter of reclamation and recruitment. And when the minister left Xiangyang, he entrusted all the big and small things of Xiangyang to Mr. Yu.
Therefore, the minister deeply felt his virtue and recommended it to the king. โ
"Oh!" When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know who the great sage Xianqing is talking about?" โ
Qu Yuan bowed and said: "King, Mr. is the son of the great sage of Qi State. โ
"Qi Guo pick-up!" Xiong Huai was slightly stunned, and then a person popped up in his mind: "But in the past, Mr. Jixia of the Qi State Jixia School Palace took over the son?" โ
"Exactly sir!" Qu Yuan nodded in response.
"Didn't Jiezi disappear after leaving the Jixia School Palace a few years ago? When did the pick-up come to the state of Chu? Xiong Huai asked strangely.
Xiong Huai has long heard of the person who took over the son.
Jiezi is a friend of Ji Zi who previously implemented the extravagant method in the Qi country, and Ji Zi offered extravagant strategies to the king of Qi, and after getting the importance of the king of Qi, Jiezi disappeared.
I didn't want to, but the pick-up ran to the Chu State quietly.
Qu Yuan responded: "The king, after the son left the Qi country, he came to the Chu country to travel, and the minister built a city in Xiangyang not long ago, and happened to meet the son in Xiangyang, and the minister and Mr. talked very happily, so he left Mr. in Xiangyang, so today. โ
Xiong Huai knew that the xenophobia in the Chu Dynasty was very heavy before, and Gongsun Yan, who had been famous in the world for a long time, was also idle by the King of Chu and served as a staff member.
As for the current situation!
Xiong Huai looked at Qu Yuan and asked, "Can Xianqing invite Jiezi to come to Yingdu, the widow will greet him outside the palace." โ
When Qu Yuan heard this, the joy in his eyes flashed, and he bowed: "I am willing to serve the king." โ
"Good!" Xiong Huai said happily: "Tell the receiver that the widow is waiting in Yingdu!" โ

A few days later.
The county Yin, who wrote to Zilan before, was escorted to Yingdu one after another.
After a brief interrogation, he was handed over by Xiong Huai to the court for processing.
As a result, these people were either deposed and never hired, or given death to take their titles.
Their blood once again made the hearts of the ministers of Yingdu feel terrified, and their hearts became more and more afraid of the king of Chu.
At the same time, the resentment towards Qu Yuan in his heart deepened.
