With the collapse of the scholar clan, there was no longer any obstacle to the implementation of the Xintian Fu Law, although the Shiqing group headed by Shusun Guan was uncertain, but it could not reverse the general trend of change, and in the next few days, more than 400 scholars who had resigned at home returned to their respective positions, and Xiang Zhuang did not embarrass them because of their coercion - other book friends are watching:.

Xiang Zhuang's generosity was exchanged for the feeling of the scholars, and after they returned to their posts, they began to fully cooperate with the work of the Qingzhang land led by the Protector Captain Department, and it only took less than half a month to conclude that the Qingzhang land had a result.

Chu Palace, upper study.

Bai Lixian took the captain of the Dharma Protector School and the Che Master into the palace overnight to meet him.

"Your Majesty, the land clearing of the whole country has already had results, Wu County, Danyang County, Huiji County, Lujiang County, and Jiujiang County have a total of 68 counties, with a total of more than 12 million mu of cultivated land! Among them, there are more than 3 million mu of fertile land with a yield of more than two stones per mu, and more than 2 million mu of mountainous land with a yield of less than half a stone per mu, and more than 900,000 stones of land can be collected! ”

The sub-car master took the general book of Tian Fu and explained it to Xiang Zhuang word by word.

"Oh, more than 900,000 stones?" Xiang Zhuang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "How long will it take to collect it?" ”

Originally, I thought that it would be 600,000 Ishida Fu at most, but I didn't want to have more than 900,000 stones! If the more than 900,000 Ishida Fu can be collected in time, it will really solve the urgent need of the state treasury's embarrassment, and then not only can the grain borrowed from the major families be repaid in time, but also the salaries of officials at all levels can be paid in full, and there will even be a slight surplus.

Bai Lixian shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the king should be able to collect it all before the end of the year." "The calendar of the Qin Dynasty is headed by October. The end of the year is the end of September. And now it is the beginning of September, that is to say, in a maximum of 20 days, more than 900,000 Shitian Fu can be sent to Wuzhong Taicang.

Zhuang nodded happily, and said to the sub-car master, "General Ziche, hard work." ”

Ziche Shi hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "As a courtier of the Chu State - other book friends are reading:." It is appropriate to serve the king. ”

Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly, and looked back at him: "Ziyi, immediately promote the Protector School Captain Ziche Master to the Dharma Protector Zhonglang General!" ”

He replied angrily, and the sub-driver quickly knelt down on one knee and thanked Xiang Zhuang: "Thank you to my king!" ”

Xiang Zhuang turned around and returned to the chief seat, and solemnly motioned for Xiang He, Baili Xian, and Ziche Shi to take their seats respectively, and then said: "Ziyi, Ziliang, the implementation of the Xintian Fu Law is very smooth, and the effect is also very significant, so next." 4∴ (8) 0 (6) 5 Should we implement the law of rewarding farmers and fishermen? ”

According to the planning of Xiang Zhuang and Baili Xian, the reform of the Chu State is mainly divided into three steps.

The first step was to implement the law of compiling households and people, and liberate a large number of sī households of the clans, scholars, and clans, so that they could become the people of the households under the direct jurisdiction of the central government. At the same time, in the process of implementing the law of compiling households and Qi people, by the way, the clan forces in various counties, especially those in Jibei, were solved, and a major concern of the Chu State was relieved.

The second step is to clear the land of the whole country and implement the new field endowment law, so that the family, the scholar and the common people can be paid together, and at the same time greatly expand the source of the national treasury. It greatly weakened the influence of the Jiangdong family and the scholars, thereby strengthening the centralized power of the Chu State, so that the counties and counties were directly under the strong control of the royal power.

The third and most important step is to reward the cultivators!

Xiang Zhuang did respect Daqin's cultivation and warfare system, but he never thought of following it all, as early as Guanzhong, Xiang Zhuang discussed it with Bai Lixian. It is necessary to add another reading word in the middle of the cultivation and warfare system, so that the cultivation and warfare system of Daqin will become the cultivation and reading warfare system of Dachu, but now, it is necessary to add another business character.

The Great Qin Empire's farming and warfare system was actually not perfect, and it was even somewhat deformed.

The Great Qin Empire, which pursued the system of farming and warfare, was only keen on two things, one was farming, and the other was fighting, under the yòuhuò of war exploits and titles, the people became war maniacs, and the country became a huge war machine, so the army of Qin was able to fight stronger and stronger, and there was no shortage of military food, so Qin was able to sweep away the six countries of Kwantung and dominate the world - other book friends are watching:. ..., if it weren't for the violent death of Qin Shi Huang, if it weren't for the perverse actions of the Second Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, the Great Qin Empire, which pursued the system of cultivation and warfare, would continue to expand outward, and after sending 300,000 troops to the north to attack the Xiongnu and 500,000 troops to the south to conquer Baiyue, there would definitely be a larger-scale foreign war, and only God knows what kind of territory the Great Qin Empire would have laid down in the end.

However, even if the Great Qin Empire conquered the entire Asian continent, it would definitely not last long, because in order to maintain the momentum of external expansion, the Qin Empire vigorously rewarded farming and warfare, but also severely restricted the development of commerce, science and culture.

Without the prosperity of commerce, there would be no material abundance, and the country would not be rich.

Without the prosperity of science, there will be no progress in civilization and the invasion of strong enemies.

Without cultural prosperity, there will be no national identity, and the state will easily disintegrate.

Therefore, Xiang Zhuang should add the words "reading" and "business" to the cultivation and warfare system, and become a farming and warfare reading business system!

Needless to say, rewarding reading is not to encourage scholars to study and go to the poor, but to encourage scholars to learn from others and study diligently, which will inevitably lead to cultural prosperity, and cultural prosperity will inevitably give birth to the rapid development of astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, medicine and other disciplines.

As for the incentive trade, it is to make the country richer, only when the country is rich, can it have sufficient financial resources to support large-scale foreign expansion, of course, in order to prosper the trade of the Chu State, it is necessary to carry out currency reform, the monetary system from the copper standard to the silver standard, or the gold and silver standard.

Ancient China has not appeared such as the West ancient Rome, ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon like the commercial civilization, the most important reason is the copper standard system on the serious constraints on commercial behavior, you can imagine, in ancient times when there was no money bank, a merchant to go to other places to do business, if there is no gold and silver currency, then how many cars of copper coins does he have to carry?

Therefore, it was not until the Song Dynasty designated silver taels as legal tender that commerce in China really prospered.

In short, what Xiang Zhuang wants is to maintain the power of the external expansion of the farming and warfare system as much as possible, and at the same time let go of the constraints of the farming and warfare system on the progress of civilization as much as possible.

Bai Lixian hesitated a little, and said in a low voice: "King, do you want to slow down first?" ”

It takes 20 years for the Wei Ying to change the law during the period of Qin Xiaogong to complete the implementation of various laws and regulations, and the state of Chu has implemented two batches of new laws in a row in less than a year.

Not to mention anything else, once the third batch of new laws is implemented, it will offend many powerful generals in the army.

These powerful generals are no easier to deal with than clans, scholars, and families, because they hold military power in their hands!

Once these powerful factions join forces with the remnants of the Shi clan, the family, and the clan, it will not be a joke, and if Jiangdong is not good, it will fall into a big luàn, and the current good situation will be ruined in an instant.

Xiang also said: "Great King, it is best to pass two years first, wait for the family, the scholars and the common people to get used to the first two batches of new laws, and when they understand the benefits of the new law, and completely put aside the resistance to the new law in their hearts, and then it is not too late to implement the third batch of new laws, otherwise once all kinds of hostile forces unite to make trouble, it will be a bad thing." ”

"That's right." Xiang Zhuang was as good as a stream, and said with a smile, "The widow is in a hurry." Seeing that Xiang Zhuang did not insist, Bai Lixian and Xiang He couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, Xiang Zhuang faintly heard a strange noise, and immediately turned around and said, "Come out." ”

As soon as the words fell, an ebony dead man walked out of the shadow in the corner of the study, and said to Xiang Zhuang: "The king, the secret letter of the chief manager - a beautiful novel:!" With that, the ebony dead man spit out a wax pill from his mouth and handed it over.

Xiang Zhuang took the pill and pinched it gently, and then took out a small paper roll from it, but after unfolding it, it was a thin high-grade public paper, and Qu Bucai, the chief manager of Ebony Cliff, used a goose máo pen to write tadpole-like small characters on the thin paper, and gathered under the light to carefully identify it, but it was the detailed provisions of the new law on white ink that Qu Bucai had copied.

"The provisions of the new white ink law?" Xiang Zhuang's heart tightened, and he said, "Is Liu Bang'er finally going to change the law?" ”

Nowadays, not only the Chu State is determined to change, but also the Huainan State, the Qi State, the Liang State, the Zhao State and even the small countries such as the Yan State and the South Korea State are also changing the law.

"Jun Yao service, flat calculation?!" After reading a few more lines, Xiang Zhuang suddenly lost his voice and exclaimed.

Xiang He and Ziche Shi looked at each other when they heard this, although Zi Che Shi was a Dharma Protector Captain and had just been promoted to Dharma Protector General, but he really didn't understand what was going on with Jun Yao and Ping Xuan Fu, Bai Li Xian was shocked, and said in a deep voice: "Jun Yao and Ping Shu Fu?" My lord, I'm afraid this is the main purpose of the new white ink law, right? ”

Xiang Zhuang didn't answer, but just read the secret letter carefully and attentively.

After a long time, Xiang Zhuang finally sighed, and then handed the dense to Bai Lixian, and then said: "This white ink is really powerful, he is going to engage in a pawn and a whip method!" ”

That day, I saw the short article on Bishu's law examination paper, Xiang Zhuang always felt a little familiar, and now in retrospect, it turned out to be the original version of the general outline of the whip method and the paving into the mu, Xiang Zhuang studied science when he was in high school, and history did not need the college entrance examination, so he only dabbled in a whip method and paving the mu into the mu, so he couldn't think of anything at the time.

However, after seeing the provisions of the new Baimo law provided by Qu Bucai, Xiang Zhuang also recalled that a whip law and a paving into the mu are big killers, especially this paving into the mu, which will greatly promote the growth of the population! Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but feel a little heavy, the Han State had changed the law of Baimo, and the population and national strength were just around the corner.
