Chapter 34 What is sustainability?

Fusu also frowned slightly, very puzzled.

If it is just to dismiss the conscription when the farm is busy, what is the difference between this and the light conscription that I have been admonishing in the past.

Moreover, when he first admonished the light conscription, it was only to reduce the number of conscripts, firstly, to ensure the people's livelihood, and secondly, it would not affect the progress of Afang Palace, the Great Wall, Lishan and other projects too much.

However, the strategy Li Yang said, the people's livelihood is completely guaranteed, and Daqin's taxes are obviously rich, but these three major projects will be greatly affected. If you say that you have the best of both worlds, this strategy is not as good as reducing the number of conscripts as you originally said.

Fusu muttered in his heart, not understanding why Li Yang came up with such a broken idea, but he would still be so confident.

Having said that, feeling the surprised eyes of everyone in the hall, Li Yang naturally understood the mystery in their hearts.

In this era, agriculture is not as developed as in later generations, and the cultivated area is large, reaching 2.5 billion mu, and the per capita cultivated area is as much as 123 mu.

In this way, the construction period of the previous year will naturally become four years to complete, and it is no wonder that they will question this.

Li Yang looked at Feng Quji and He Zhang, and said: "Feng Xiang and General He asked well, it stands to reason that only when the peasants are idle can do their conscription, which will indeed affect the construction of the country." Even, it is not as good as the method proposed by Feng Xiang and His Royal Highness Fusu in the past to reduce the number of conscripts. But ......"

Li Yang glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "However, have you ever thought about how you can reduce the number of conscripts if you only reduce the number of conscripts?" Two million servants, let 500,000 servants go back to farming? ”

Without waiting for Feng to reply, Fusu, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, couldn't help but nod and said: "That's right, it is this method that can not only ease the livelihood of the people, but also protect the construction of the country as scheduled. ”

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Fusu's words.

Li Yang didn't have the slightest displeasure, and he didn't say good, nor did he say bad, he just chuckled lightly and said: "The strategy of reducing the number of levies, Gu Ran can, but the minister has a question, and he wants to ask His Highness." ”

Fusu stretched out his hand and signaled: "Zhongcheng said." ”

Li Yang said: "The minister wants to ask His Highness, have you ever thought that if you dismiss 500,000 of the 2 million servants, these 500,000 servants will only cultivate their own fields and only pay the taxes that their own families should pay, and the remaining 1.5 million servants will not be able to return home to cultivate all year round, and the old and weak women in the family will all starve to death, and the taxes paid by the 500,000 people who return home to farm, although they can still support my Great Qin military and government, it is difficult to support 1.5 million servants, so isn't it that in the end, my Great Qin only has the 500,000 families left to return home?" And those national projects also died abruptly? ”

"............" The audience was silent, and everyone was stunned by this question!

Fusu was also speechless when asked directly, and was completely stunned on the spot.

For a long time, Fusu felt that the policy of light conscription that he said could be called the best of both worlds, but now that he was asked by Li Yang, he suddenly realized that the method he said before to reduce the number of conscripts seemed to be really flawed.

If 500,000 of the 2 million conscripts were disbanded, it would obviously be impossible for these 500,000 to feed the entire Great Qin Empire.

And the consequences of such ......

Fusu pondered for a moment, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out, he found that such consequences would indeed be as Li Yang said, in the end, the country was still in a quagmire, and the other 1.5 million servants and their families of the old and weak women could not survive.

Thinking of this, Fusu suddenly had a feeling of being held in front of him. The previous self-confidence and previous belief collapsed in an instant at this moment, and I felt extremely frustrated, and my heart suddenly became empty, as if my soul had been knocked out by this hand.

He never dreamed that the policy and strategy that he had thought could save Great Qin in the past would have such big loopholes and flaws, and these loopholes and flaws that had never been considered made the strategy of simply reducing the number of conscripts seem worthless and useless!

Fusu was really completely confused at this moment......

Of course, as much as he was in the first place, Feng Quji, and the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court, they didn't expect that reducing the number of conscripts would still be so bad in the end.

Surprised, surprised, confused......

Everyone felt like they were an idiot, and they had never imagined that the outcome of a light conscription would be like this.

Call......

Feng Qu was so shocked that he was speechless.

The advice he has been giving to the emperor for the past few years is so unbearable, and what is even more ridiculous is that he didn't know it before, and he complained that the emperor didn't listen to the advice, and felt deeply aggrieved and sad.

Now it seems that whether Your Majesty listens to his own advice or not, what difference does the result make?

Originally, I thought that his "light conscription" policy was more perfect than Li Yang's "light conscription" policy, but now it seems that it is not as good as his "light conscription" policy, at least so that all the people in the world can be busy with farming when they are busy with farming, although the construction of the country will be affected, but the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Sighing in his heart, Feng Quji suddenly seemed to be bald, and felt that he was so useless.

At this time, he had to admit that Li Yang's view of the problem was far-reaching and comprehensive, and he couldn't help but bow his hand and said: "Li Zhongcheng's words made Feng feel extremely ashamed, but I didn't expect that the countermeasures I came up with in the past were actually misguided policies. Minister...... The minister is guilty! ”

After speaking, Feng Qu bowed his hand to Yingzheng in pain and asked for responsibility.

Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to hold it up and said: "Feng Xiang is dedicated to my Daqin, hard work, what is the crime, Feng Xiang and I should continue to listen to Li Zhongcheng talk about his sustainable development strategy!" ”

"Minister...... Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Feng Quji's heart was moved, and then he retreated to the queue of hundreds of officials, waiting for Li Yang to teach a lecture on sustainable development strategy.

Feng Quji could feel that Li Yang's sustainable development strategy was not just about letting the people live and work in peace and contentment, otherwise the emperor would not have agreed to dismiss all the servants.

To be honest, at this moment, Feng Qujian couldn't wait to hear Li Yang's high opinion.

After completely rejecting the previous strategy, Li Yang was still quite complacent, smiled, and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, after many previous discussions, it can be seen that it is not sustainable whether it is based on the status quo or by reducing the number of conscripts. However, what I want to tell you is that what is sustainable means that people are not exhausted, food is not exhausted, national strength is not exhausted, and all three are not exhausted. ”

"And if these three are not exhausted, there is only one way, dismiss all the servants, raise the young and strong labor force of the whole country, and be busy farming, so that people can live, food can be abundant, taxes can be sufficient, and national strength can be rich, based on this, the Great Qin Empire can last for 10,000 years."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Su Fu's eyes lit up, as if he saw the infinite hope of Daqin, but after thinking about it carefully, he was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Li Zhongcheng, such a country and the people are safe, it is the blessing of all the people, and it is also the blessing of my Daqin, but when the farming is busy, there is no obligation to be forced into labor, is this ...... This is still difficult to understand the country's current construction? ”

Li Yang smiled disappreciatively and said, "Project bidding!" ”

PS: There must be many people who will say that the Great Wall, Qin Tombs, and Afang Palace are bidding, which cannot be achieved in the Qin Dynasty, but YY novels, the next chapter will write practical theories. In short, this book is the keynote of all kinds of subversion of history, new theories to reform Daqin, and even dominate the world. I hope you will take your time, don't worry, all kinds of changes will have a set of corresponding theories to stand on, everyone rest assured.
