Chapter 259: Gladiatorial Fight
The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and the crowd was indignant and full of righteous indignation, as if Li Yang was a heinous traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people, and he could only kill him quickly.
Let the people punish the local government, as well as the nobles and nouveau riche who annexed the land......
This must not change the color of the heavens and the earth!
Thinking about it, Feng Quji and the others felt a chill in their backs.
Everyone knew very well in their hearts that the people at this time knew that the imperial court was implementing a new policy and wanted to confiscate the annexed land for redistribution, but the local government was disobedient, which shattered their hopes, and the people at the bottom could be said to have no resentment.
But why did the people dare to be angry and not speak out?
Are you afraid of the little officials in the county government offices?
Obviously, that's not what they're afraid of.
The reason is very simple, because behind these county officials, there are hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court.
Would you dare to make a big fuss at the local government because of the policies issued by the imperial court and the local government did not implement them?
Obviously, no one would do that.
Most people will choose to keep this disappointment and anger in their hearts, no one dares to make trouble, let alone rebel!
However, once the imperial court raised its arms and shouted, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of Great Qin were no longer the backers of local officials and magnates, would these low-level people still be afraid?
The oppression and bullying suffered in the past, and the wretched anger that dared not speak out in the past, will all be vented frantically......
It is conceivable how miserable the death of the local government and the magnates who annexed the land under the situation of the spark burning the prairie fire!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a storm, a big storm! Once this storm is formed, no one will be able to stop it, and no powerful person will be able to survive this great storm.
Unless...... You voluntarily handed over the annexed land early in the morning.
However, how many counties in various localities have really actively completed the restoration of the old land system?
It can be said that except for the Guanzhong counties around Xianyang, almost no other places are implementing the new policy.
In other words, the scholars and nouveau riche of Great Qin were almost wiped out.
For Feng Quji, the struggle between himself and Li Yang in the court is actually a gladiatorial battle between two interest groups.
What he represents is the aristocratic interest group, and the old clans, scholars, and local tyrants and upstarts are all their supporters.
Li Yang represents the toiling masses, who are not for the toiling masses by lightly conscription, reforming the law, abolishing joint sitting, bidding for disaster relief, and restoring the old land system of the Qin State to divide the fields equally?
The so-called New Deal is actually to enrich the people and strengthen the country.
And if you want to enrich the people, land is the first step, so it is the interests of the aristocratic interest groups that are harmed.
Now, from the court to the locality, all aristocratic interest groups have twisted into a rope to resist the new law. As the saying goes, if the law is not the public, even the emperor can't do anything, because all this is related to the society and whether the court can operate normally.
In other words, Li Yang relied solely on the emperor's favor and the power given him, but he was already bound to lose.
Obviously, Li Yang also saw this clearly, so he came up with the idea of using the power of the people at the bottom to win this political struggle.
In this way, there is no longer only the emperor behind him, but there are millions, tens of millions of huge forces, and this force is also twisted into a rope, and there is no force to stop it at all!
Once the aristocratic groups everywhere are wiped out, these ministers and old clans in the court will really be nothing.
Regarding this point, not only Feng Qujian was clear in his heart, but the other people in the hall were also aware of the fire.
It is precisely because of this that everyone feels scared, and they are angry and want to kill Li Yang.
It's just that everyone knows what they know, how can the emperor not see through it?
Kill Li Yang?
Joke!
Kill Li Yang, does Great Qin's dream of becoming a strong country depend on you old clans and upstarts who only care about your own selfish interests?
Therefore, it was naturally impossible for Ying Zheng at this time to listen to the words of Feng Quji and others, and if it weren't for the fact that this was in the court, he would even want to give Li Yang a thumbs up and praise "awesome".
What is talent? It's called talent!
What is powerful, this is called powerful.
At this time, Yingzheng finally understood why Li Yang dared to swear that he could witness a miracle at the beginning, which ...... It's a miracle!
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Yang's strategy is a magic plan, it is obviously a dead end, and one move is to turn things around, which is simply a magic strategy.
While Ying Zheng secretly admired in his heart, he actually had a little worry in his heart.
Because although Li Yang's strategy is very superb, it is also crazy.
In fact, Feng Quji's admonitions are not completely unreasonable nonsense. If the people are really out of control, the society will be in danger.
Therefore, Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Feng Xiang's concern is not unreasonable. Zhenguojun, if the people are out of control, have you considered the consequences? ”
Li Yang replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the people will not be chaotic, let alone rebel, and they will not dare to rebel!" ”
"Oh? Are you so confident? Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, curious.
Li Yang said: "There are three reasons. First, the heart. The imperial court annexed the land for the benefit of the people of the world, and the people knew it. Therefore, their hearts are towards the court and His Majesty. ”
"Second, profit. The people responded to the call of the imperial court to supervise and supervise the new policy, and the spearhead was to criticize those officials and local tyrants who resisted the law, so as to divide the land equally. Therefore, they have a goal for this national movement, and once this goal is achieved, it will stop and will not deteriorate uncontrollably. ”
"Third, Wei. Great Qin has hundreds of thousands of troops, and the army is mighty, who dares to take advantage of the situation to make chaos? ”
When Ying Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but nod, and he also felt very reasonable.
At this time, Feng Qu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is all wishful thinking and speculation, once this kind of campaign to criticize the officials and ignore the government is launched, the world will definitely lose control, and at that time, the decrees of the imperial court will not be transmitted, and my Great Qin will be destroyed!" ”
Bai Zheng and the others also hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, once the officials in various places are criticized by the people, how can the imperial court issue the decree?" Those people who are mad and take revenge on the government will be like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, and will no longer be controlled by the court, and the court will not obey them if they want them to stop. Your Majesty, the king of Zhenguo has ill intentions, but he has the heart to destroy my Great Qin! ”
"Fart!"
Li Yang snorted coldly and said angrily: "If the people dare to rebel, will my hundreds of thousands of troops in Daqin become decorations?" ”
Bai Zheng also let go at this time, turned his head and looked at Li Yang angrily, and asked: "Officials everywhere have been criticized by the people, how can the imperial court decree be issued?" ”
To be honest, this question is indeed tricky and realistic.
Because as soon as the officials of the counties and counties were absent from work and went on strike, the state apparatus would cease to function, and the decrees of the imperial court would naturally not be able to spread to all parts of the world.
In other words, the entire Great Qin will not be ruled by the imperial court, which is a very dangerous thing.
At this moment, Ying Zheng also had to take it seriously, with a solemn expression, he turned his head to look at Li Yang.
Li Yang ignored Bai Zheng, and directly turned to Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, letting the people supervise and supervise the new policy is not to indulge the people to kill people and set fires, let alone to let them act freely and scattered, but to have subordinates and discipline to act." ”
"At the beginning, the minister said that the imperial court would issue a decree and the people would set up inspection teams from all over the country. What is an Inspectorate? The so-called team means that they are not scattered and disorderly people, but representatives of the people who have subordinates, discipline, and act in accordance with the imperial decrees. ”
"There is subordination, there is discipline, heh, it's ridiculous!"
Bai Zheng sneered and asked, "My Great Qin territory is vast, and your Zhenguo Monarch is above the court, how can you control those Diao people?" ”
"Bai Shangshu asked well!"
Li Yang smiled, turned his head to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, the question asked by Bai Shangshu is actually the second thing that the minister wants to play today!" The minister intends to restructure. ”
"Restructuring?"
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
You must know that the last restructuring was to abolish Jiuqing and change the department and temple to a ministry and a hospital.
And this time, what does he want to do?
"Restructuring?" Ying Zheng was also very curious, with a puzzled face.
Li Yang nodded: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister wants to set up a provincial system!" ”
