Chapter 314: Discussing Politics with King Qin
The hunting of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty is naturally different from the hunting of the army. The latest and fastest update of the flying eagle lackeys is just usual, and the nobles of the Tang Dynasty play more high-end, in addition to the thin dogs running on the ground, the harrier eagle flying in the sky, and the lynx and leopard specially designed for hunting and domestication.
Xue Lang looked at his lineup with only dogs, and silently comforted himself-
Buddy wins with connotation! It's called low-key!
The saint smiled, "Let's start!" β
And they all dispersed, and went straight to find their preyβ
Of course, the aristocracy hunting is naturally different from the ordinary people who have to look at the footprints of wild beasts, feces and other traces to look for, after the sage passed down the order to go out to hunt, naturally someone specially drove the prey to the vicinity of the hunting ground, waiting for the sage to hunt.
Xue Lang saw that everyone had already set out with their own men and horses, and also stepped on the bow and ordered: "Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and red taro, the three of you go hunting, soy milk and buns take care of the puppies, just take the rabbit hunt, don't provoke big prey!" β
I don't know if the dogs understood, but the steamed bun barked, and the fritters and Kotaro followed. The soy milk barked, and its puppies followed it in a bun, and after the bun broke, they ran towards the forest.
Xue Lang turned his head and instructed his entourage: "Qian Liu, bring someone to follow the buns." β
"Whoa!"
The guards followed with men. Xue Lang didn't let people follow them, and they didn't need people to follow.
After the team dispersed, there were guards who took the initiative to explore the way forward, and drove the prey to Xue Lang by the way. However, Xue Lang looked at the arrow that shot in the air again, smacked his lips, and said, "Forget it, I won't shoot it, you can shoot it!" Let me shoot arrows again, everyone should be hungry today! It's up to you whether you'll be hungry today! β
The guards roared, and after leaving the men to protect their masters, they scattered in an organized way to hunt in the mountains and forests. Xue Lang walked casually in the mountains and forests, there was no snow in the past few days, the ground in the forest was not too difficult to walk, and occasionally he bent his bow and shot an arrow, but there was no dead mouse to let him open.
"Lord, King Qin's team is in front, shall we avoid it?"
Walking and walking, the guards who explored the path in front came to return. Xue Lang said: "Avoid it, it won't disturb the interest of King Qin." Is our prey enough? β
Tao Zhen, who followed behind him, said: "Back to the Lord, there is still some difference." β
"Change direction and hit some more."
"Whoa."
Just as he was about to leave, someone in the distance had already asked loudly, "But Xue Jungong?" Please stay. β
It was the voice of King Qin.
Xue Lang raised his head, King Qin had already walked quickly, and hurriedly saluted: "The minister has seen the king."
King Qin proposed: "Why should the prince of the county be so polite? Please. β
Xue Lang got up. King Qin smiled and said, "Since we met by coincidence, how about we go together?" β
Xue Lang smiled bitterly: "It's naturally good to have the king go with you." The king is mighty, and he wants to come and hunt countless people. The minister's bow skills are limited, and I am afraid that he will drag the queen back. β
King Qin laughed: "Xue Jun Gongzhi is not here, and he is accompanied by a spirit dog, so why bother with it?" β
Xue Lang said with a smile: "The king is reasonable, so the minister will take advantage of the situation and hide it." β
The King of Qin laughed when he heard this, and he stopped hunting, but with Xue Lang, pacing in the mountains and forests, walking and walking, the King of Qin asked, "Is the Duke of Xue still smooth in the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" β
As Shang Shuling, King Qin happens to be Xue Lang's top boss, and it is also his duty to care for his subordinates. Xue Lang said bluntly: "Back to the king, it has been a few days since he took office, but the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the world's money and grain, and every move involves state affairs. β
King Qin said: "This is quite practical. The county prince is an old man, and he was transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which is appropriate. β
Xue Lang said modestly: "The king has won the award." β
King Qin waved his hand and said, "Since the county prince has finished reading the books in the classics room, he wants to have an understanding of the current situation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In this way, I can have a good discussion with the county prince. β
Xue Lang's face was solemn, and he arched his hand and said, "The king, please speak." β
King Qin said: "My dynasty was originally established, and there were bandits inside, and Turkic worries outside. Years of wars have led to a lack of treasury. However, there are so many places where money is spent everywhere, and the treasury is already stretched. Does the county have a good plan for this situation? β
Xue Lang thought for a while and said, "If you want to enrich the treasury, the minister has two strategies here. A policy can see money in a short period of time, and a policy needs to be established as a long-term national policy. β
King Qin's face also became serious, and he turned to Xue Lang and said, "Shimin asks the county prince for guidance." β
Xue Lang hurriedly avoided: "I don't dare to point out, but I just discussed it with the king in private." β
After being modest, Xue Lang sorted out the thoughts in his mind and said: "The minister's two strategies, the one that can see the money in the short term is to increase salt production and expand salt tax revenue. There is nothing new in the long-term strategy, and it is still an old saying, persuading agriculture to rejuvenate learning. β
King Qin said: "It is indeed a good thing to expand the revenue of the salt tax, but the people of the world judge that it will be difficult to do so within three years. β
Xue Lang said solemnly: "Your Majesty, in the past few days, the ministers have been reading the information in the classic room, and they have been thinking, why did the former Sui die in the second generation!" Have a little experience, and talk to the king? β
"The county lord, please speak."
Xue Lang said: "The minister looks at the classics and records that when Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty, the population increased sharply and the tax revenue rose sharply. Why? β
Xue Lang paused, watched King Qin listen attentively with a serious face, and continued: "First, it is inseparable from Emperor Wen's advocacy of frugality. The emperor has taken the lead in frugality, and his subordinates naturally dare not be extravagant, and if they are thrifty, their expenses will naturally be less, and the money accumulated in their hands will naturally be more! β
King Qin nodded in agreement. So, Xue Lang continued: "Second, the implementation of the Juntian system! Throughout the dynasties, the problem of the state is fundamentally the problem of the peasants! If the peasants' problems are solved, the country will be safe and prosperous, and if the peasants' problems are not solved well, the country will be in turmoil and the family will be ruined. The implementation of the equalization system has greatly affected the drastic degree of land annexation. Therefore, it is a good policy for our DPRK to continue to implement the equalization system. The key is to monitor whether the implementation of the policy is in place! β
China has developed for thousands of years, and even in the modern era of later generations, it is still a big agricultural country based on agriculture. The peasant question is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the governments of all dynasties!
Throughout the history books, most of the dynasties that solved the peasant problem were prosperous. If the solution is not good, most countries will be ruined. This problem, even in the era when the rabbit was in power in later generations, was also a key consideration for the big rabbits. How to properly solve the peasant problem is a fundamental issue in the country's long-term peace and stability.
King Qin nodded again and again when he heard this, and muttered: "The peasant problem, the peasant problem, the county prince is a great talent, one word is to the point!" β
Xue Lang was praised a little blush, he was standing on the shoulders of the giant and putting his mouth open, this talented man couldn't afford the praise, and hurriedly said modestly: "The king has won the award, and he is not busy praising the minister, please wait for the minister to finish." β
King Qin nodded again and again, and said, "The county lord, please speak." β
Xue Lang continued: "Third, reduce forced labor. Compared with the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the time of conscription in the former Sui Dynasty was shortened and reduced, and the time for conscription was less, and the people spent more time on production. β
