"Meng Tian, how many sergeants in the army have not divided the land?"

As soon as the emperor's words fell, everyone's thoughts surged, guessing what the emperor meant by asking this, what did he mean, could it be that the matter to be discussed today was related to the reward of military merit?

Meng Tian also didn't expect that as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he would actually ask about this kind of old rotten grain.

After a deep sigh, Meng Tian replied: "Back to Your Majesty, in the active army, almost all of them are in charge of the army, and there is no military field. If the minister remembers correctly, my Daqin has not divided the military field for the sergeant for more than ten years. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and recalled: "I remember that in the early stage of the great cause of the reunification of the six countries, the soldiers who made meritorious contributions were all divided into land, and in the later stage of the great cause of reunification, they were all replaced by annual salaries, right?" ”

Meng Tian nodded: "Your Majesty has a good memory, it is true." ”

"Good, good!" Ying Zheng nodded, the active soldiers are all paid for their meritorious service, so that if the land reform is carried out, the active army will not be chaotic, which is an important guarantee to ensure the stability of Daqin Sheji in the process of land reform in the future.

As long as the hundreds of thousands of troops on active duty will not be chaotic, Daqin will not be chaotic, and land reform can be done freely!

"Your Majesty asks about this, do you have any instructions?" Meng Tian took the initiative to ask.

Ying Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Just ask, find out." ”

Everyone is a little confused, today is an early morning court, shouldn't there be a rhythm of big things to happen? Why is it that at this time, the emperor asked something innocuous and insignificant.

Just when everyone was confused, Ying Zheng said again: "The matter of replacing the military field with the annual salary has been implemented for more than ten years, what do you think of the pros and cons of this matter?" ”

This time, everyone looks at me, I look at you, and no one dares to answer easily, lest they say the wrong thing. After all, you can't guess what the emperor is thinking.

If the emperor wants to cancel the reward of military merit instead of Yulu and reactivate the military industry field system, then you must be in the form of rewarding military merit with Yulu now, which is to stand on the wrong side.

However, you can't deny the form of rewarding military merits, because if the emperor asks this intention, he just wants everyone to praise him, and if you deny it, won't you also offend the emperor?

Therefore, it is better to have an attitude of not being able to come out and not to make mistakes.

However, none of the civil and military officials in the entire hall replied, which is also not good.

The officials in charge of the other departments didn't reply, and they said in the past, but it was impossible for Feng Quji and Li Si, who led the government, to remain silent, right? There is also Meng Tian, he is in charge of military and political affairs, and he is still in charge of military merit awards, so he can't help but answer.

However, if you want to say that Li Si is shrewd, he glanced directly at Li Yang, which means that it is like saying: "Lao Tie, what does the emperor want to hear, whether he wants to affirm or deny, you should give a hint." ”

Li Yang naturally knew what Li Si meant when he looked at him, so he bowed slightly.

Li Si's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, the replacement of military fields by the annual salary is a benevolent and righteous policy implemented to ensure that the people of the world have enough self-cultivated land, and now this policy has been implemented for more than ten years, and the effect is remarkable." First, the imperial court does not have to squeeze the limited self-cultivated land of the people, and secondly, the soldiers are also rewarded with money and food for their meritorious service, which can be called the best of both worlds, Your Majesty is wise! ”

As soon as Li Si slapped his ass, Yingzheng smiled and bowed slightly, looking very useful.

As soon as you hear it, you immediately know which direction the wind is blowing.

Meng Tian also hurriedly came out and said: "What Li Xiang said is extremely true, now the generals in the army, who have won the title for meritorious service, and receive the corresponding salary according to the title, have won the hearts of the generals, but it is the military industrial field, because these active soldiers serve in the army, the military industrial field has to be wasted, or rented to tenant farmers for farming. In particular, before the light conscription, there was a shortage of civilian labor, and there were no tenant farmers to cultivate the fields. ”

Ying Zheng nodded again, agreeing with Meng Tian's answer.

At this time, the emperor looked at Feng Quji and asked, "Is there any disadvantage to this policy of replacing the military industry field?" Feng Xiang, tell me about it. ”

Feng Quji nodded, so he hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, what Li Xiang and General Meng said is indeed the benefit of the policy of replacing the military industry with the annual salary. However, if it must be said that the annual salary replaces the military field, it actually has its drawbacks. That is, there are hundreds of thousands of retired non-commissioned officers, as well as hundreds of thousands of non-commissioned officers in active service, all of whom have replaced military fields with annual salaries, so this expenditure has caused an extremely heavy burden on the state treasury, and this year there is almost a danger of arrears. ”

Ying Zheng bowed his head slightly, and did not express his opinion, but asked Li Yang again: "Li Yang, tell me your opinion." ”

Li Yang nodded and said with a smile: "From the minister's point of view, replacing the military industry field with the annual salary is the wisest military merit reward reform since the Great Qin unified the world." After all, Great Qin unified the six countries, and the people of the six countries were all the people of Great Qin, and it was impossible for Great Qin to continue to reward the meritorious soldiers and reward all the land of the six countries to the meritorious soldiers, in this case, the people of the world would have no land to cultivate. If the people have no land, they can only become tenant farmers, and whether the tenant farmers can cultivate for a year or not will be able to feed and clothe them depends on the wishes of the landlords. The landlords are ruthless, and the tenant farmers will starve to death if they collect seven or eight percent of the land rent, and the landlords will be kind-hearted, and the land rent will be fifty or sixty percent, and the tenants will still be able to survive. In this way, the people of the world are uneasy, how can the Great Qin Jiangshan Society be safe? Therefore, for the sake of the Great Qin River, the policy of replacing the military industry with the annual salary is really the best policy for the Qin State! ”

Speaking of this, Li Yang glanced at everyone and found that everyone agreed with this sentence very much, and they all nodded their heads in agreement.

At this time, Li Yang continued: "However, the burden on the treasury brought by Feng Xiang's replacement of military fields by the annual salary is indeed an inevitable result. However, this cannot be considered a disadvantage of it. The reason why the state treasury could not afford the annual salaries of the sergeants was mainly due to the imbalance between the treasury and its revenues and expenditures. If the tax revenue of the state treasury can be increased several times compared with the past, the annual expenditure of the sergeants will not be a problem for the imperial court. Moreover, even if the current annual expenses of the soldiers are under great pressure on the imperial court, compared with the rebellion of 20 million people in Great Qin due to famine, the pros and cons of the two are immediately apparent! ”

Everyone nodded again, and they all exchanged words and discussions, and they all praised Li Yang for analyzing this issue very thoroughly.

Even Feng Quji had to sigh in his heart, Li Yang's vision of the problem was very unique, and he could see the essence behind the problem at a glance.

At this time, the emperor also smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, Li Yang summed up the pros and cons you said very well, what do you think?" ”

Everyone nodded and said in unison: "What the prime minister said is extremely true, and we all think so. ”

"Well, that's what everybody thinks, that's good! It's rare for everyone to be so unanimous, haha! ”

Ying Zheng smiled happily, and then just when everyone thought that this theme had passed like this, Ying Zheng suddenly changed his words and said: "It stands to reason that in order to ensure that the people have their own arable land, the imperial court has implemented the policy of replacing military fields with annual salaries as early as the completion of the great cause of reunification, but why is there still a famine this year?" ”

Everyone: "............"

Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

It turned out that it was not the emperor's true intention to affirm that the annual salary would replace the military industry, but his original intention was actually to discuss this year's famine!

Everyone suddenly realized, but when it came to the famine that broke out this year, everyone dared not answer casually.

Because of the famine this time, the most direct cause was the fact that Ying Zheng disregarded the suffering of the world and constantly aggravated the forced labor.

There are no men in the grain fields of the world, so it is strange that there is no famine.

At this moment, the entire hall suddenly became quiet, everyone was facing each other, and no one dared to reply.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "What, no one can answer me?" But it doesn't hurt to say it, and say it directly. ”

However......

No one dared to come out and talk back.

Not to mention those doctors and councilors, even Li Si and Feng Quji were silent.

Straight to the point?

The pit won't kill you!

Once this is true, it will hit the nail on the head.

Everybody doesn't want to be this stupid B!
