31 Initial Decree, Tongue War of Monarchs and Ministers (2)
When the general just discussed the first order, he took the lead in making trouble, and led a group of generals below to stand up and second, which made the hall commotion for a while, so that Gan Long couldn't read it.
The military general on the right made a fuss. In the Wenchen on the left, Sun Jia, the prince's master, stood up and persuaded with a smile: "General Bai! How is this a trivial matter? This is a great plan to make the country rich and strengthen Qin. Is it impatient? "I am a soldier, and I only know how to march and fight. At the moment, there are many things on the ground, and the Qin army is weak. Dr. Gongsun Marting! I, Qin, want to be a rich country and a strong army*, not a small law that can't sleep on a kang. Qin Gong on the stage, as soon as he saw that the first order had just been discussed, he was disturbed by the white tiger, and he was annoyed, so he opened his mouth and reprimanded: "General Bai! This is not a march to war, but the governance of the state. You'll talk about it when you're done. "The temperamental White Tiger, for the sake of Qin State, for the sake of this lord who grew up beside him since he was a child on the stage, was not deceived by this doctor of tools, his heart was crossed, and he wanted to speak again, but he was forced to return by the lord on the stage. Gongsun Ying knew that although the White Tiger led the generals and retreated under the suppression of the Duke of Qin, if he did not convince the White Tiger, he would lose the support of the army. It is impossible to succeed without the support of the military. So he turned around, bowed his hand to Qin Gong, and then turned around and saluted the white tiger, and then spoke: "General Bai!" The first orders are indeed trivial matters that are managed by low-level officials, and they should not be worked by the militarists to come to discuss in the snow. But, you can think about it: doesn't the lord know this? But why did the lord order you to come in the snow? The white tiger shook his head and asked casually: "Yes." For such an obvious thing, why did the lord make me wait? ”
As soon as Gongsun Ying saw the general entering the hub, he changed his tone: "It's because these are not trivial matters, but big military events." Checkmate! Who wouldn't want to be strong? But a strong country must have a strong foundation. If the foundation is not strong, how strong is the country? The foundation of this is the people. Where is Qin Minqiang? Today's Qin people, even male, female, old, young, long, order, blood relatives, and Rong live in the same customs. Can a country where the people's body, intelligence, and race are weak and stupid, can it be strong? Can you sit on an equal footing with the Six Nations? (Gongsun Martingale leaves the banquet and walks towards the general as he speaks) General! The Qin people were scarce and there was a shortage of soldiers. Taxes, taxes, soldiers, husbands, and servants are all levied on a household-by-household basis. If there are three adult men in a household, there will be three households in the future, and one household will be divided, which will increase the strength of our Qin in terms of taxes, soldiers, and husband service. Such a law, please ask. Should it be counted as a state* or as a small law? Checkmate! Today's Qin State, all over the country, weighs and measuring tools are their own. One bucket in A and two liters in B; This not only made it impossible for the state to accurately collect military rations, but also caused the various localities to fight endlessly. Unification, measurement, and balance are not only conducive to the country's taxation, but also save a lot of troubles and eradicate some meaningless sources of private fighting. General White! Is this a major event for the militar? "This ——! Hi. I'm just the old one. Doctor, you're going to punish me! The white tiger was refreshing, and when he saw that he was wrong, he apologized to Gongsun Martingale. Gongsun Ying smiled slightly, thanked the white tiger, and then sat down. Although Gan Long was right: the lord promised not to give Gongsun Yingguan the name of the five doctors before the meeting, but at the meeting, he suddenly repented and publicly named him, which was very annoying. He was even more angry at the lord using "someone" to implicitly reprimand himself and Du Zhi, but on the surface he was still not surprised, and the mixing of the white tiger seemed to have not happened, and after the two sides retreated, they read it in a clear voice: "Fourth, the dispute between mortals, whether it is a nobleman, a head of a Qian, or a slave, must resort to the ruling of the government, and private fights are not allowed. Whoever fights privately, whether justified or not, shall be punished. 5. All the people of Qin may be engaged in both agriculture and warfare. Those who did not have these two jobs, including the children of hereditary nobles and wealthy merchants, found their jobs within two months. Two months later, once it was found that he had no regular job, he became an official slave and reclaimed the land on the border. The government strictly controls the number of special technicians and businessmen, and issues certificates. 6. Regardless of nationality, those who wish to reclaim the land shall not be taxed or levied for nine years within 50 acres; Those with more than 50 acres will be levied by half. 7. Helping farming. Whoever cultivates famine, harvests millet, or produces cloth and silk 500 households shall be exempted from taxation and forced labor for three years, and shall be given a knighthood. 8. Mutual supervision. Ten families are compared to one, longer than not, and sergeant; Five than for Lu, Lu set Xu, sergeant. Supervise each other's production and law-abiding. If one family violates the law, nine will report it, and if it is not reported, ten will be guilty of the same crime. Anyone who reports a criminal who is a foreigner or a criminal shall be exempted from the award of one year for meritorious service in killing the enemy. Whoever hides a prisoner shall be punished with punishment. 9. Establish local government offices. Shilu is a brigade, with a brigade commander and a sergeant; The 10th Brigade is a township, with a party leader and a doctor; The ten townships are counties, with county orders, county officials, and county lieutenants; The county commander is a doctor, a county doctor, a county lieutenant, and a professional teacher; The county is directly under the Duke of Qin.
10. Fight against the enemy, behead a poem and give a knight, grant 20 acres of land, and award a house; Whoever does not dare to kill the enemy shall be beheaded. 11. Establish a 20-level official system. Those who have no military merits and agricultural merits are not allowed to be knighted or held official positions; Hereditary lords do not hold official positions, and those who have not made military or agricultural merits for two consecutive generations will have their hereditary titles reduced. After Gan Long finished reading it, he slowly put down the bamboo slips, and after saluting Qin Gong, he returned to the Wenchen team. Duke Qin may have announced the first order in the court, and he seemed very happy; It may also be to curry favor with the secretaries of the people, so as to facilitate the shun of the first order; Just after giving everyone a cup of wine, he said with a smile: "Zhong Aiqing, they are all the dry cities of the widowed Qin. Qin Zhiruo is closely related to all Aiqing. Although the initial order only has 11 articles, it involves military, political, physical, etiquette, and system. Therefore, the first order is not an ordinary decree, whether it can be implemented or not, and the effect after implementation directly determines the rise and fall of Qin. Therefore, the widow made the secretaries brave the snow to come to discuss politics! For the rise and fall of Qin, please discuss the first order with all your words! "My lord!" A middle-aged nobleman of the ninth rank on the left took the lead in standing up and played: "The minister is blessed by the lord to carry out the Shaofu Order (Shaofu Order, the official position of the Warring States. The same order is the Minister of Finance) for more than two years. In the past two years, Qin Cangqiao has been empty and has no money. The country is like this, and the people are poorer. The minister once went to the people's house and saw that there were only nine people in a family with one quilt, two clothes, and two clothes, and whoever went out wore them. It's still rich. Some of the poor have no clothes and no clothes, and they feed themselves on wild herbs and tree bark to survive the famine. Mr. Gongsun Martingale and the general said, and the minister also strongly agreed. The minister also believed that a country where there was no distinction between men and women would perish. Lord! Although the plan is good, it can be difficult. How much food does it cost to divide the kang in one room and balance it in the same bucket? Qin now has a household of 500,000 yuan, and a kang only needs 5,000 gold. Five thousand gold, half a year of the country. Lord! If the house is divided and the household can be increased by millions, but the money spent will also be millions, it is better to take out millions first, and it is possible to receive millions in the next year. The country is so poor that the treasury has nothing to spend. Please ponder! Where does the gold come from? "If you want to do it, it's colder than the weather outside. The cold made Qin Gong shiver as well. Qin Gong frowned and looked at Shaofu Ling.
Gongsun Ying didn't need to look at it to know Qin Gong's face, so he said to Shaofu Ling: "Shaofu Ling!" The poverty of Qin, the suffering of the people, martingale in Chongquan and Zheng County when entering Qin, also experienced one or two. But the wealth of Qin merchants and the wealth of Qin nobles is also slightly known.
After listening to the words of the Shaofu Order, Martingale felt that Qin Zhi was weak, so weak that he couldn't even produce five thousand gold. Excuse me, if it remains unchanged and continues with the past, if there is a side event and you need to pay 100,000 or 1 million gold, is it just because you have no money and are waiting for defeat? ”
Shaofu Ling was stunned for a moment, and after stalking, he said in a little panic: "That's a matter of the two sessions." Can repairing the kang be compared with the battle? ”
"Of course it can be compared." Gongsun Ying pursed his lips and retorted: "The purpose of repairing the kang is to increase the number of households. The purpose of increasing the number of households is to increase wealth. The purpose of increasing wealth is to strengthen the army and the country. Only with money can there be a strong army. You said! Isn't this a source of money the same thing as a conquest? ”
Shaofu Ling was speechless, blushing and refuting with a hard defense: "Even if it's the same thing, but the treasury has no money, this is a fact." After speaking, he stretched out his head and waited for Gongsun Marting's refutation.
"I know. It is true that the treasury cannot pay. It is also agreed that the first fee calculated by the Shaofu Order is one million, and it is possible to receive one million in the coming year, or it is possible not to receive one million. That Zhigong Sun Ying actually agreed with him. But he didn't expect that after Gongsun Ying agreed, the tone of his words changed: "But has Shaofu Ling thought about it?" If the number of households is not increased, the treasury of the lord will be poor forever year after year. If there is an increase in the number of households, this year is an increase of three, and next year, the year after that, and a few years, there will be an improvement every year. This account of hope is no better than the account of Shaofu's disappointment, I think, it is easy to calculate? ”
As soon as Gongsun Marting's voice fell, there was a buzz of discussion in the hall.
Shaofu Ling thought for a long time in the buzz, and then stood up and said, "Doctor! Of course, everyone will calculate this account, but the most important thing is to come up with this first million dollars for repairing the kang. The treasury is not real, please teach me! ”
With the words of Shaofu Order, everyone's eyes flickered, and they all looked at Gongsun Ying.
Gongsun Ying smiled slightly: "Martingale has also calculated the accounts, please refer to the Shaofu Order!" From today's 500,000 households, 1 million are divided, and it is indeed necessary to build a new 1 million kang. But the key to this million kang is to divide the household, and the key to the division is to have money to start. As long as you move and divide the households, you will achieve your goal. To do this, there are three steps: Step 1: Start. First, the government came forward to collect the start-up money. This start-up fund mainly solves the living problems of Qianqian in the first half of the year after the separation. It takes a gold to become a man. This million gold can be donated by wealthy businessmen. It has been found that there are 10,000 medium-sized merchants in Qin today, and they are asked to donate 500,000 gold, but the average household is only 50 gold. There were 300 high-class and high-class merchants, and they also donated 500,000 yuan, and the average household was less than 200 gold. The donation of both funds is enough to solve the problem.
Step 2: Farming. The division of households is to increase the number of strong men in farming and expand the farming area, so the government needs to come forward to prepare the materials needed for farming according to the calculation of a strong man plowing a well field, and the per capita money is also only 100,000 gold for a million people. This is only 100,000 gold, the government should be able to produce it, right?
Step 3: Inducement. The purpose of the division of households is to encourage production and expand financial resources and soldiers. In order to encourage production, it is necessary to make it profitable, that is, to let it reap the benefits of the division of households, and let each household do its best to produce for profit. As a result, the government should issue a notice to reduce the burden by one-third. It has decreased by one-third, but this is a decrease in the base of 500,000 households, and an increase in 100,000 households. This account, should the Shaofu Order be calculated? ”
