CHAPTER XXXVI
King Qi Xiang felt that Ran Fei's policy was very good, and decided to implement it throughout the country, this move was supported by most of the ministers, only Hou Sheng and a few people held objections, King Qi Xiang asked Hou Sheng: "Such a good political and legal law!" Why are you against it? ”
Hou Sheng replied: "The north is an important grain producing area in our country, and I don't think it is Ran Fei's credit to be able to have such an effect, but the reason why the land in the north is originally fertile, and our Guan Zhongxiang State used the salt tax as the national tax, and a series of measures made our Qi State strong enough to compete with the Qin State, so I think that Ran Fei just did the same thing as Guan Zhongxiang back then, and the fertile land, which led to the prosperity of the north, if Ran Fei was transferred to other places, such an effect may not occur." does not mean that it can be implemented elsewhere. ”
King Qi Xiang felt that what he said also made some sense, and at this time, Tian Dan also stood up and spoke: "King! The minister has a word! ”
King Qi Xiang: "Xiangguo, please speak!" ”
Tian Dan: "Regardless of whether it is as Dr. Housheng said, since Ran Fei Shangqing has made contributions, and whether it is the battle for the restoration of the country back then, or the great progress in production today, Ran Fei is a meritorious man of Qi and should be rewarded." ”
King Qi Xiang: "Yes! Tian Xiangguo said that he was right and widowed, so do as you say! Ran Qing, what reward do you want? ”
Ran Feidao stepped forward: "The country is in a time of revival, the treasury is empty, and the people are hungry!" How dare you ask for a reward again, the minister begs Your Majesty to reduce the people's taxes for three years and recuperate! With rich national power! ”
After Ran Fei finished speaking, he knelt down, but Ran Fei was not happy in his heart, because he had only knelt for his parents in this life, and according to the ideas of the twenty-first century, the hereditary system? The Ninety-Five? It's all bullshit, who is willing to kneel down to a bullshit emperor who doesn't understand stupidity, and this stupid emperor is the same person as himself, why should you be noble, I grass! If this is in the old grandfather's period, you will have to roll out of the labor camp like a ritual!
But now it's different, it's still in the Warring States, people believe very much in the fairy Son of Heaven said, no way, who calls science and technology backward?
When most of the ministers saw Ran Fei say this, they knelt down together and said in unison: "Please order my king to reduce the taxes paid by the people for three years, recuperate, and enrich the country!" ”
King Qi Xiang is quite stupid, but he is not stupid, he was shocked by the current scene, and immediately burst into tears and said: "All Aiqing is sympathetic to the people, and the widow is very pleased, according to what you said, the taxes of the people of the whole country will be halved within three years!" With rich national power! ”
Ministers: "Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
For a time, the whole country of Qi was jubilant, and they were all happy to have such wise ministers and kings, and Ran Fei became a hero in the hearts of the people of Qi.
Ran Fei changed history, Qi began to become strong again, at this moment, Ran Fei no longer thinks about why he changed history but did not disappear, at this moment, he just wants to live a good life and help more people.
Ran Fei rode a high-headed horse, escorted by the guards through the downtown area out of the city and returned to Jimo, the people on the road heard that it was him, they all stopped all the current business, not only made a way for him, but also knelt on both sides, and the original noisy downtown did not make a sound, Ran Fei was moved to tears, his right hand clenched into a fist, put it on his chest to show respect, and the guards beside him also followed Ran Fei, for a while, the downtown was extremely serious, showing not only the power, but also the people's heart.
It's just that if the taxes are reduced, the palace will have to cut back on food and clothing, King Qi Xiang doesn't care about this, it's nothing, but he won't do it in the future, and he will go to King Qi Xiang to ask for money, where can King Qi Xiang get it? In the future, he can only go to his younger brother, Hou Sheng, the country's largest corrupt official, Hou Sheng can have today, all thanks to his sister's merits, without saying a word, he immediately promised: "How much do you want!" ”
Later, he was very happy, and was later discovered by King Qi Xiang, and asked the reason, the queen only said that it was her own private money, and King Qi Xiang didn't say anything! It's just that Ran Fei is even more hated in the future, and from time to time he says bad things about Ran Fei in the ear of King Qi Xiang. Although King Qi Xiang is simple, he is not stupid, he knows that Ran Fei's brother killed the queen's brother, and he will resent him in the future, so he naturally doesn't take it to heart, and now Ran Fei is the desire of the people, and it is no longer possible to move him at will.
Qi State's various measures to encourage production and reduce taxes were seen by Qin State, Zhang Yi heard that Qi State was going to reduce taxes by half for the people for three years, and entered the palace overnight to meet the king, King Qin Hui heard that Zhang Yi came to see him and did not dare to slack off, he was still asleep, regardless of the cold of the autumn night, he also got dressed and got up.
In the study, there were only Wei Ran and King Qin Hui, and Zhang Yi said solemnly: "Your Majesty! Now that Qi has cut taxes for three years, if we don't do something, when they recuperate like this, our plan to unite the five countries to destroy the national strength of Qi will be null and void! ”
King Qin: "The widow also heard about it, it seems that it was proposed by the one named Ran or something, and the king of Qi immediately agreed to his proposal!" However, the main force of the Qi State was almost completely destroyed in the Battle of Jishui and the series of battles that followed, even if they were recuperating."
Wei Ran: "The drama minister knows, Ran Fei is talented and talented, whether it is to lead the war or govern the country, he has great power, if this person can't be used by the king, and stays in the Qi country, the Qi country has the law to manage the Zhong, and now he is there, he will definitely recover the national strength quickly, and then the Qi country will definitely be able to compete with my Qin country, but looking at his appearance, he was originally from the Qi country, and now he is reused by the king of Qi, it seems that he will definitely not come to my Qin country, the king, this person can not stay, and he must send a dead man to assassinate him!" Or divide the plot and kill it in order to keep the status of my Qin State. ”
King Qin listened to his words and felt that it was very right: "Good! I immediately sent a dead soldier to the Qi State to assassinate him, as for the discord plan, Xiangguo will arrange it! ”
Wei Ran showed a weird smile: "Yes!" ”
King Qin: "But is there anything else?" ”
Wei Ran: "Your Majesty, in addition to what I just said, I also have a plan to make the Qi Kingdom not turn over!" ”
King Qin Hui smiled: "Sure enough, Uncle Guo, you are really my brainstorm!" Go ahead! ”
Wei Ran: "The northern part of Qi is Yan State, both sides of the Yan Qi War have suffered heavy losses, but the hatred between each other has not decreased in the slightest, at this moment, if my Qin State gives Yan State help, and marries Yan State again, and promises, and Yan State agreement, never offend, I think Yan State has the support of my Qin State, and has received the promise of my Qin State, I will definitely be grateful to Dade, and the relationship between our two families is improved again and can threaten the rest of the countries, so that they dare not move lightly, at this time, as long as Yan State has certain conditions, In order to avenge the killing of King Yan by the Qi State back then, they will definitely raise troops again, and if this continues, the two sides will wear out each other, and it will be difficult to compete with my Great Qin. ”
