"What do you mean?" The First Emperor's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Li Chen and asked. Obviously, even a natural emperor like the First Emperor failed to understand the meaning of what Li Chen said.

The Shang monarch's reform of the law made the cowardly Qin state of the Seven Kingdoms stand up, and the strict rewards and punishments in the military merit system also made the Qin people more courageous and warlike than the Six Kingdoms. Its abolition of the aristocracy's well field system, the return of land to the state, unified distribution, the establishment of households, the relocation of the capital to Xianyang, etc., indeed helped the Great Qin to unify the six countries to a large extent.

However, the law of joint sitting, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and despising education have begun to seriously restrict the development of Daqin.

"Your Majesty can know that the contradictions within Great Qin have reached an irresolvable level. Daqin, who advocates military merit, now has no war to fight. Even if the two battlefields of Hetao and Baiyue were forcibly opened, there were still many nobles who had nothing to do. These people who have come up with military exploits will vent their anger on the people when they are depressed. The more time passed, the more the contradictions between the nobles and the commoners intensified. Li Chen said.

"Aiqing thinks that there is no explanation at this time." The First Emperor asked.

"The minister thought that if we wanted to resolve the contradiction between the nobles and the people, the only way to do it was to fight and build. Open up more small battlefields and let the nobles vent their anger on the aliens. The people are involved in infrastructure construction, military affairs, people's livelihood, and the country's infrastructure construction is also indispensable. Li Chen said.

Infrastructure was the foundation of warfare and people's livelihood, especially in the Qin Dynasty, an era of agriculture. Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn solved the dilemma of food shortage in the Qin Dynasty.

At this time, the decree of the Qin Dynasty stipulated that each adult peasant was granted "500 mu of land" by the state, and 500 mu of the Qin Dynasty was equivalent to more than 140 mu in the previous life. The level of productivity of the Qin Dynasty was such that even the best peasants could not cultivate so much land.

At this time, Daqin experienced many years of war, although it laid down the territory of Nuoda, but although the years of war and chaos cannot be said to be ten households and nine empty, these ten households are also empty. At this time, Daqin was in a time when the land was vast and sparsely populated. A normal family of five often has thousands of acres of land, and the rotational farming system also makes Daqin's land more fertile. It is precisely such a large agricultural country that allows Daqin to carry out the Great Wall, Afang Palace, and Lishan Imperial Mausoleum one after another.

"Tell me more." The First Emperor said.

"The minister thinks that the stubborn problem of Daqin is that the law at that time is no longer used in reality, and it is imminent to change the law again." Li Chen said.

Then he said: "Qin Fa is fiercer than a tiger, this should be what the people of the world think." Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Although this statement is true, the people should not be pigs and dogs kept by the emperor, but people. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. ”

"His Majesty asked Li Xiangliu questions that day, and His Majesty also asked His Majesty a few questions today."

"Qin was the weakest of the Seven Kingdoms when Shang Jun changed the law, and at that time, the Seven Kingdoms were fighting, and no one was willing to ally with Qin. Shang Jun practiced wartime law, and now it is a peaceful and prosperous era. It is not exhaustive. ”

"The minister thinks that the kind of torture of good people to cripple in the Qin law, such as cutting off hands, feet, noses, and ears, is torture and should be abolished."

"The most evil person kills, and this kind of person is a waste of air to live. But sin does not come unto the dead. The minister thought that it would be better to make it a cripple, but it was better to send it to the frontier to work. Instead of recruiting a large number of people every year, it is better to use waste. ”

"What Aiqing said is reasonable, if it is not like this, the reform of Qin Law will be handed over to you to preside." The First Emperor said.

"It's not proper, it's not proper, the subordinates are soft-spoken. Your Majesty is roasting the ministers on the fire, not to mention how the people will react. Just say that there is an uproar in comparison with the court. ”

"The minister thinks that when the prince of Fusu is the main and the princess Yue is the auxiliary, the minister will make some efforts to do the best of the things that modify the Qin law at this time." Li Chen said.

"Yes." The First Emperor's Road.

The two of them drank the fine wine produced by Lijiazhuang, and on the table was a plate of sauced beef.

"You and I talk about Great Qin, you don't need to be restrained, you can say whatever comes to mind," the First Emperor said.

"Your Majesty, look, just like this plate of sauced beef on the table, you and I can eat it with a swagger. Wealthy businessmen can eat secretly, while ordinary people regard a cow as the capital of the whole family and even the whole village. This is privilege, privilege should be there, and with privilege people can have a goal to strive for. But privilege should be controlled by the law, as we have on the table, it can be beef, but it must not be human flesh. Li Chen said.

"I thought I was going to fight Goguryeo first, and then I was fighting Yingzhou." The First Emperor's face was flushed from drinking, and he slapped the table and shouted.

"No, I will give you grain to feed the people, not to let you fight. We can get war horses when we fight the Huns, and we can get good land that can be planted for three seasons a year and even a little bit by the driver. ”

"Fight Goguryeo, fight Yingzhou. A group of primitive people, what are you doing beating them, do you help them catch fleas? Li Chen also patted the table and said.

The two people who drank too much are more like brothers, there is no distinction between high and low, noble and low.

"We should fight wars to see resources, and by fighting wars and plundering the resources of the empire, we can make the lives of our own people in China better. The person who said that to show the majesty of Great Qin, it doesn't have to be a war, and Xu Fu can go to sea with the fleet. Li Chen said.

"Xu Fu, how do you know about Xu Fu. That old man had been practicing Dan in the palace all day, and he had never come out, and I didn't know that he would go to sea for this skill. The First Emperor said.

"Send a fleet to the sea, there are many continents in the sea. There are many Rakshasas who live on these continents. They should be far from being a match for Great Qin at this time, and by trading with them to collect materials, we can know whether the local goods produced will be useful to Great Qin, and the fleet will make nautical charts to prepare for future invasions. ”

"We want Daqin's Black Dragon Banner to be planted in every corner of the earth." Li Chen said.

"What is Earth?" The First Emperor asked.

"The land under our feet is the earth, and the earth is a sphere, with the ocean occupying 70 percent and the land only 30 percent. Great Qin should only be one thousandth of this thirty percent. Li Chen said.

"Fart, if it's a ball, how can we stand." Qin Shi Huang made a rare foul mouth, obviously disagreeing with the statement that he was standing on a ball.

"Your Majesty, you see, this is South America, the climate is humid and rainy all year round, the grain is ripe three to four times a year, and it is rich in something called rubber."

"This is Africa, rich in gold and silver mines."

"This is Siberia, let's not go for the time being."

"This is Australia, and lobsters are abundant."

Li Chen swallowed his saliva, held a ball-like object in his hand, and pointed it to the First Emperor one by one.
