Gongsun Ying's words just fell. The Shaofu order was excitedly calculated: "Last year, 500,000 farming households collected 300,000 gold. A decrease of one-third is 100,000 gold. That is, based on the average annual collection of 6 cents and 6 cents per household last year, 1.5 million households can collect 990,000 gold. Triple the increase! ”

As soon as everyone heard this number, they all looked at Gongsun Martingale in surprise, and the hall was full of buzzing.

Gongsun Ying's words were not shocking, and then the words of the Shaofu decree said: "If you tell the people of the sub-household again: Whoever returns the borrowed money in the current year only needs to return seven yuan. If you return it the next year, you need to return nine dollars. In the third year, you need to return all the money and money. In order to save money, at least more than 600,000 gold can be recovered in the current year. ”

"Ahh The lobby was filled with surprises.

Shaofu Ling's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Doctor! According to this policy, the government's farming this year can be put into the treasury of 1.59 million gold. But why do those merchants donate? ”

Gongsun Ying replied coldly: "With the authority of the government." Tell those merchants: Those who do not donate are not allowed to do business. Do they dare not donate? ”

Shaofu Ling applauded and laughed: "Good! It's a great idea. I pledge to follow through. The Shaofu Order, who can have money to collect, voted in favor with a smile.

Although Du Zhi was dissatisfied, as the tomb of the Qin State, he still knew the importance of these two items to strengthen the country and benefit the people. He grabbed the end of the Shaofu Order, and asked loudly: "Who has any objections to the first and second two items of the First Order?" ”

The audience shouted in unison: "No." Du Zhi laughed and said, "Then discuss the next one!" ”

Of course, Qin Gong was overjoyed and was just about to speak. A military general on the left stood up in the midst of the laughter of the audience, and after arching his hand, he said in a big way: "Lord! If you can't punish a doctor, it will become a precedent for thousands of years. The ancestors divided the hierarchy for the sake of respect and inferiority. We are a martial artist, and we honor our martial arts and bravery. In the army, they often fight for their reputation, and they are punished according to the first order, which is worse than death. Lord! As a nobleman, I am the blood of my ancestors who donated the country. As a military general, I fought to the death on the battlefield. Is it possible that a small private fight should be as shameful as a slave? I'm not convinced. The general's voice did not fall, but he won a burst of applause. This military general also disregarded the courtesy of the hall, like an award-winning warrior, and held his head high.

Gong Qin winked at Gongsun Martingale. Gongsun Ying pouted slightly: "General, for your own honor, you are brave for a while; For the sake of the moment, people who are in a hurry to fight privately, do they have a fair heart? If the people have the courage to fight privately, how many strong men will lose their lives and be disabled in a year, and the general will know? Tens of thousands of people die and tens of thousands of people are disabled every year. Not to mention that the local officials are bothered to deal with such trivial matters, just talking about the treatment and pacification expenses will cost hundreds of thousands of catties. If these people are sent to attack the enemy, won't the general have no worries about the soldiers? If these people are sent to farming, how much rice and millet will be replenished for the national treasury? If the general abandons the country for the sake of momentary bravery, and makes the country lose 100,000 or millions of gold a year, the general is a bloody man who is patriotic and loyal to the Lord, and he can bear it in his heart? Although it is said that the punishment is not for the doctor, the nobles can be allowed to fight privately, and the heads of the Qians and slaves are not allowed to fight privately, can this order be done? What's more, the aristocracy is the dry city of the lord and the power, if it is destroyed in a private fight, won't the lord be extremely distressed? This order is a move by the lord to care for the nobles, enrich the military resources, and strengthen the country and enrich the people. "You! You! I'm not convinced anyway! The general's face was flushed in a hurry, his feet were stunned, and he retreated viciously.

Du Zhi, who presided over the meeting, hated private fighting the most, and when he saw the military general retreating, he raised his voice and asked: "Article 4 of the initial order, no private fighting, who still has a different intention?" No. Do you have? No. Then negotiate the next one. ”

Du Zhi just finished announcing. A nobleman stood up again to argue with Gongsun Marting. Qin Gong on the stage had no intention of listening to the arguments of the audience. He was constantly opposed, and he thought about the difficulty of implementing the first order. The first order is simple. But how much money does it cost to implement a separation? Although he can be a rich businessman, but although a businessman is rich and rivals the country, if you pluck a hair from him, you will cut off his whole family. Besides, private fights have already become common in Qin, can they be stopped with just one punishment? Also、、、、、、 the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was difficult to act, and the burden on his shoulders was like a mountain in the end, so that it was difficult to breathe. Qin Gong couldn't help but subconsciously shook his head and settled down. The argument in the audience suddenly became louder.

When Duke Qin saw it, it was a nobleman roaring angrily: "My surname is Ying for several generations, and I am the prince of the country." According to the initial order, the children of the Gong clan also had to fight non-agricultural and war, otherwise they would be used as official slaves and reclaim the land on the border. Excuse me, what is the gentleman's intentions? Want to destroy my Qin clan? Want to kill me Qin Huan's surname? Don't say that the lord doesn't agree, does the ancestors and ancestors of the surname allow it? Official slave, you can figure it out? Before the words were spoken, all the nobles stood up and raised their arms and shouted in unison. This cry actually made Gongsun Ying's face pale with anger and tremble.

When Qin Gong saw and heard it, his waist straightened up, his eyes widened, and he said sharply: "It is reasonable not to speak highly. Can you make sense when you make a fuss together? Dear uncles, brothers, sons and nephews! Ladies and gentlemen! Wait and see, the countries of Hanoi are eyeing Qin, and they can't destroy Qin as soon as possible. Qiang Wei seized my Hexi for more than 100 years, and did not have the slightest intention of retreating, but as soon as there was an opportunity, he wanted to plunder the land of Qin. Even Xirong looked down on me Qin, and attacked every year, and made mistakes every month. Isn't this all because I've been poor and weak for too long? Thinking about the past, when Zu Miao was the prince, how powerful my Qin was, the countries of Hanoi did not look up to Qin! Qin Min raised his eyebrows. But what about today's Qin? The poverty of the people just mentioned by Shaofu Ling has reached the point where they have gone out to change their clothes and clothes, and they rely on wild vegetables and tree bark to satisfy their hunger. Aren't the secretaries sad after hearing this? In the Qin of Miao Gong, the children of the Gong clan rushed to follow Miao Gong to farm and fight. The widow is now weak Qin, if you don't get up yet, do you have to wait for Qin to die before you wake up?

Can't the children of the clan follow the widows to farm and fight? What's wrong with farming? What is the shame of the conquest? The children of the Gong clan farming and fighting are destroying the Gong clan? Is it the surname of Kill Ying? The widow saw that this was the words of the dead Qin. Which of your ancestors did not receive a knighthood from farming and military exploits? Which one is not the nobility of today, which is not through farming and conquest, and in exchange for you? The widow is young and has little involvement in the world, and many things still need to be taught by the people. However, the widow also learned a little about the history, and also heard the prince say that there were Shennong who tasted a hundred herbs among the virtuous kings of the past dynasties, and Houji taught the people to grow crops. Houji is the ancestor of Zhou. Zhou Zu was pro-crop, and Zhou Xingshang died. Emperor Yao worshipped him as a farmer. Otherwise, we would still be eating weeds, wild beasts, rice millet, and poultry. Therefore, Mr. Gongsun Marting's agricultural and war strategy is not to destroy my clan and destroy my surname, but to revitalize my surname and build my clan. Not only the widow has to say yes. Even the fathers and fathers will agree. Don't discuss this article anymore, what do you think? ”

In the lobby, no one dared to come forward to oppose it. In order to ease the atmosphere, Du Zhi announced on behalf of the council: "Article 5 of the initial decree, all the people of Qin must plough and fight, and there is no objection. Please negotiate the next one! ”

Due to the strength of Duke Qin, after Du Zhi announced, there was a dead silence at the venue.

I don't know how long it has been. On the only seat on the left side of the main platform, an old man who was here coughed for a long time before he slowly opened his mouth: "Lord! I have been the Zongzheng Order for decades (official position, the highest official in charge of the affairs of the Gong clan, and the patriarch surnamed Ying. Although he was extremely confused, he had also accompanied Qin Gong for several generations, so he knew something. But I listened to it for a long time, and the more I listened, the more confused I became. This first decree seems to be: It is like not wanting the ancestors to make the law. Isn't it? "Where!" As soon as Qin Gong heard that the most critical thing was coming, he said cautiously: "Zongzheng Order!" This is just a change and adjustment of the laws of the ancestors, some laws and regulations that are not in line with the strong Qin and rich countries. How can you not have the ancestors to make the law? To change the law is to change the ancestral law for the better. "Although Duke Qin is young and bold, he doesn't dare to openly don't want his ancestors to make the law, and he explains with a smile." Bang, bang! What? Why, when I listen to it, it's like I don't want the Dharma of my ancestors? If you want, how to set up a county? The fief left by the ancestors, where is the well field? The fief is gone, the slaves are naturally gone, and the ancestral law is naturally gone. After playing Pangu to open up the world, after having a country, there will be a feudal and territory; There were nobles and slaves. Isn't this change all gone? Isn't this what the ancestors are doing to make the law? Qin Gong's words were stopped, and his heart was shocked, don't look at this sect is making old people, everyone is old and has become fine. Fortunately, the widow and Gongsun Martingale had already taken precautions against this, otherwise they would have been beaten to death by this big stick that did not want the ancestors to become a law. Thinking of this, Gong Qin looked at Zong Zhengling, smiled slightly, and explained to the old Zongzheng Ling in a respectful tone: "Zong Zhengling! It's because your old eyes are not good, and they only see this point in front of you. Don't be unconvinced, listen to the widow!

The widow asks you, "How many of the nobles are there in your suzerain?" How many fiefs are there? You're old and have a bad memory. The widow said for you that there are more than 17,500 households, and there are more than 780,000 well fiefdoms, and these fiefs are concentrated along the Weishui coast. Is what the widow said right? ”

Zong Zhengling's deputy hurriedly replied for Zong Zhengling: "The lord really has an amazing memory!" Even I, the person in charge, only learned these accurate numbers after looking through the records. ”

Zong Zhengling raised his gray head and asked tremblingly: "But what does this have to do with the ancestors' success?" ”

Qin Gong said with a smile: "The relationship is big, Zong Zhengling." The existing aristocratic land and the land occupied by the princes are less than one percent of that of our Qin. The existing Qianshou occupies only one-thirtieth of our Qin. That is to say: more than half of my Qin's fertile land is barren, sleeping there, and being wasted by us. If I want to be strong, I must use these lands, and divide the households for this purpose. The large number of strong men who increased after the division of the household was driven by the government to cultivate the land.

Millions of strong men, tens of millions of wells of arable land, only the existing 10,000 nobles can manage it, can it be managed well? The result is definitely not good. Since it is not well managed, it is necessary to add new people to manage it. Who will be added to manage it? You can't destroy the law of your ancestors and expand your fiefdom to the nobles at will without merit, right? I just want to expand it at will, but after so many lands are given to the nobles, can they manage it? At present, a noble family manages a hundred wells, and the income of one well is only one-tenth of that of Wei, and the amount handed over to the public family is only less than one-fiftieth of that of Wei. Add new fiefdoms to them, and they can only let these lands continue to sleep.

Zongzheng Order! In order not to let these lands sleep, and in order to make these lands strong and rich to the people, the widows set up counties in the newly cultivated places and were directly managed by the government. It is not to remove the existing fiefdoms and establish counties. ”
