Chapter 36: The Prospect of the Qin State
"Zhongcheng Miaoce, Fusu has been taught!"
Fusu was shocked in his heart, and bowed respectfully.
"Minister, don't dare to preach!"
Li Yang has long heard that Gongzi Fusu is benevolent, and he is knowledgeable and courteous, although this guy is a little stupid, but Li Yang still respects this kind of person, after all, as the eldest son of Qin, he can still care about the people and the people, this kind of virtue is very rare.
Don't say that in this ancient era, when the people were regarded as slaves and ants, even in later generations, there were few high-ranking officials and nobles who could pretend to be the people in their hearts and think about the people.
On this one, Li Yang didn't dare to be rude in front of Fusu, and he was humble.
"Zhongcheng doesn't have to be too humble, before he came back, I heard that Zhongcheng has a peerless learning, outstanding wisdom, and unique wisdom through the sky, and today Fusu is completely convinced." Fusu smiled and admired, and then asked, "By the way, how did Zhongcheng come up with this brilliant idea, and it really only took three days to make such a brilliant plan?" ”
Everyone also looked at Li Yang at once, wondering if the three-day strategy mentioned before was true.
Li Yang smiled: "It's not a secret, it really took three days for the minister to come up with this strategy, and this policy is also said to be taken from the people and used by the people." ”
"............" everyone was speechless.
It took three days to come up with such a clever plan for governing the country, and you even said that it was enough? How long has it been?
Everyone has a sense of being abused in IQ.
Fusu also smiled bitterly, feeling that he was compared in front of Li Yang, and his IQ felt like being trampled on the ground by others, and the dignity of his IQ was injured, and he was also more curious about Li Yang's later sentence "Take it from the people, use it for the people", and muttered: "Take it from the people, use it for the people......"
is obviously worrying about Li Yang's words.
Li Yang said with a smile: "The so-called take from the people and use it for the people, that is, the taxes of my Great Qin are taken from the people, and the national projects are contracted to businessmen, and the businessmen hire the people to do work, which is called using them for the people." ”
When Fusu heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "Wonderful! A good one is taken from the people and used by the people. In this way, the country has done practical things, and the people have also obtained money and food through labor, and solved their livelihoods. ”
Everyone's eyes were also shining, and they were all impressed.
Li Si didn't forget to pat himself at this time, and said: "Xunzi's 'take from the people and use it for the people' is vividly played here in Li Zhongcheng today." ”
"Hahaha......"
As soon as these words came out, he immediately burst into laughter.
The current difficulties of the Qin State have all been solved by a sustainable development strategy today, how can everyone not be happy.
It's just that Li Yang still hasn't said one thing, that is, once his policy is implemented, it will be tantamount to making the people rich.
Daqin pays twice as much tax as the people in the world every year, and more than half of this tax is returned to the people through engineering work, which is enough for the people to have surplus food.
The people no longer have to go hungry, and if they earn money through their work, they will naturally want to improve their living conditions, and this is when the handicraft workshop will rise.
In this case, will business be far away?
Moreover, if you are full of warmth and "silver", everyone will have more babies and the population will increase sharply, which is really good.
However, Li Yang does not intend to talk about these things at this time, because he understands that the implementation of any policy needs to be recognized and supported under the premise of social needs, but it will only be incredible.
For example, if the sustainable development strategy proposed today was not for the fact that the treasury had no grain in stock, and if it were not for the fact that taxes could not be collected, it would have been impossible for his advanced strategy to be recognized by the emperor and the Manchu civil and military forces.
All this is because Daqin has no way out, so he has to choose to take the path of change that Li Yang said.
However, then again, the Qin Dynasty was indeed a dynasty that was most suitable for reform in all dynasties.
Because the six countries have just been unified for only ten years, everything is new, and everything is different from the past. The title of "emperor" is a newly invented title, the county system is also newly created, as well as weights and measures, writing, and various policies are all subverting the old society in the past, the old system, the old form, the old thinking, and the various regulations in the Qin period are not perfect, and even the people can praise the common people for thousands of years, see the emperor without kneeling.
All this shows that in this era, as long as it conforms to the emperor's wishes, the development and needs of society, everything is possible.
On the other hand, in other dynasties in the future, it was much more difficult. All kinds of perfect systems, all kinds of ancestral systems, and especially the deep-rooted feudal ideology are all restricting new ideas, new policies, and new changes. Moreover, they have been persecuted by feudal ideology for a long time, and the people have been kneeling for a long time, and in the long history of feudalism, they can't even stand up, and there is no way to talk about new ideas and new ideas.
Li Yang knows that Daqin is an era that can create miracles because it has the political soil and environment for innovation.
Just like New China, it has just ended hundreds of years of war, and it is a new star that has just been born, a new empire that does not take all old ideas and old systems into account.
What's more, Li Yang also knew that Qin Shi Huang was an ambitious king, not as brutal as the history books say.
For Qin Shi Huang, as long as he can make social progress and make Great Qin eternal, nothing is a problem.
Abolish the division of seals, change the system, Confucian opponents, kill Confucian scholars, and burn poetry scriptures.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is brutality, but from the political perspective of social development, the Confucian scholars he killed and the poems and books he burned were actually old ideas that influenced the advanced system.
Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, it is always the whole world that unifies the new thinking and consolidates the new county system.
For Li Yang, now that he is in a high position as the prime minister, he has countless advanced ideas and concepts, and then there is the ambitious Qin Shi Huang, coupled with this new political soil of Daqin, it can be said that the future of Daqin is promising!
Of course, the most urgent thing for Daqin to do at present is to encourage the whole people to grow more grain and have more babies, and this is exactly what Li Yang is trying to implement.
…………
And at the same time that Li Yang was re-examining Daqin, Ying Zheng in the main hall saw Fusu with a shocked and admired expression, and he was also very happy in his heart, this was the effect he wanted.
Only by letting Fusu understand that it is useless to govern the country by benevolence, will he really think about what is governing the country?
Ying Zheng is very satisfied with today's class. Especially when Li Yang belittled the previous policy of "light conscription" in the Soviet Union and devalued it worthless, Ying Zheng even grinned at the corners of his mouth and laughed in his heart.
He turned his head to Fusu and said, "Son, do you know what it means to govern the country today?" ”
Fusu nodded slightly: "When the son heard that Li Zhongcheng had a high opinion, he did have a different understanding of the benevolent government of governing the country. ”
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly." ”
Fusu hurriedly said: "Erchen found that governing the country is very different from being a person. And the way to govern the country is benevolent, but not benevolent to the people. Governing the country should be like Li Zhongcheng, see the essence of the problem clearly, regardless of the method, as long as the result is beneficial to the people and the country, it will be benevolent. ”
"Haha, good!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he was surprised and delighted, but he didn't expect his son to finally open his mind today.
At the same time, he also looked at Li Yang incredulously, he didn't expect that his son just listened to Li Yang talk about a policy of governing the country, and there was such a big change, and he was able to say this truth, which really made Yingzheng excited.
At that moment, he said meaningfully: "Son, I want you to worship Li Yang as a teacher, can you agree?" ”
Fu Su was overjoyed, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Erchen has this wish, thank your father!" ”
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Li Yang: "Li Zhongcheng, I have a request, I want you to take Su as a student and teach him the skills of governing the country, I wonder if Zhongcheng can agree?" ”
