"Yes! That's a great deal! ”

After agreeing to the third change proposed by Wei Ying on the spot, Zhao Zheng's face already showed a little smile.

After all, from the current point of view, Wei Ying's proposed strategies for changing the law are obviously to the point, and they are indeed good policies for governing the country after careful consideration, rather than superficial remarks on the surface!

Therefore, Zhao Zhengke is really looking forward to Wei Ying's next seven law change strategies, hoping that he can surprise himself again!

"I'm Wang Shengming!"

When Wei Ying heard that His Royal Highness King Qin promised on the spot, he couldn't help but show excitement on his face, and thanked him again!

Immediately, he pressed the stirring emotion in his chest and continued to elaborate.

However, the promulgation of the "Land Reclamation Order" will inevitably lead to a series of new contradictions! If the people are allowed to cultivate private land, the land is private or state-owned...... It will become a new thorny problem! ”

Although he was talking about a tricky problem, Wei Ying obviously had a solution in his heart, so he immediately stretched out his fourth finger and said eloquently!

Therefore, the fourth policy proposed by the minister to change the law! In order to abolish the well field system, recognize the private ownership of land, and allow the people to buy and sell freely! ”

As soon as the Jingtian system was abolished and the private ownership of land was recognized, Zhao Qian, the king of the Song Dynasty, who was sitting on the side, was shocked, and looked at Wei Ying, who was standing proudly in the palace with a different face.

Just because of this well field system, it is actually a state ownership of land, which means that all the land belongs to the state, that is, the monarch, regardless of the nobility and commoners, only have the right to use, and there is no ownership of buying and selling.

Because the roads and channels are criss-crossed, the land is divided into squares, and the shape is similar to the character 'well', so it is called the well field system.

Although the well field system can theoretically ensure that the interests of the state are not infringed upon, in practice, a large amount of private land has been reclaimed, but it is not registered, and it is still privately owned.

Therefore, although the Ida system stipulates that all land belongs to the monarch, it does not have any substantive significance.

Therefore, Wei Ying proposed to abolish the well field system, encourage the people to cultivate private land, and even allow the free purchase and sale of land.

As a result, the enthusiasm of the people to cultivate the land has been greatly improved, and the Qin State, which only collects the tax per acre and does not collect the poll tax, will have a great increase in the tax revenue of the central government!

Therefore, as the king of a country, Zhao Qian, the king of the Song Dynasty, was frightened when he heard about the private ownership of land, and it was obviously psychologically difficult to accept that his land would be owned by individuals in the future.

However, when Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, heard about the private ownership of land, he had no psychological burden, and even took it for granted that private ownership of land replaced the state ownership of land was the general trend of history!

So he didn't think twice on the spot, and he agreed.

"Abolish the well-field system and privatize land...... Can! ”

As soon as the words came out, the state ownership of land, which had been in the past for hundreds of years, was completely abolished, and for the first time among the countries of Kyushu, private ownership of land was openly recognized!

This kind of epoch-making institutional change in ancient society is not so difficult for Zhao Zheng, a modern person, to accept!

But for Wei Ying and Zhao Qian, who lived in the ancient society, they were blinded for a while in the crisp and neat promise of King Qin, and they seemed to be a little unable to believe their ears!

"Ninth brother! You need to think about it...... Is it really necessary to completely privatize the land of the Qin State? ”

is also the king of the same country, Zhao Qian is really shocked by the ninth brother's deep understanding of righteousness and open-mindedness at this moment!

With such an important institutional change, under the strong desire to change the law and strengthen the country, he would rather give away the land that originally belonged to him to the people of Qin State free of charge!

This...... But what a magnificent pattern and mind?!

"My king! You ......"

Wei Ying was even more stunned at this moment, and he didn't know what to say.

Of course, he thought that His Royal Highness King Qin would agree to this policy, otherwise he would not have so solemnly proposed this policy of changing the law.

But what he didn't expect at all was that His Royal Highness King Qin would agree so quickly, without even the slightest hesitation......

After all, when the policy of re-emphasizing torture was mentioned, His Royal Highness King Qin hesitated for a long time, and finally did not make up his mind.

But when it comes to the more important private ownership of land, His Royal Highness King Qin is extremely open-minded, and he personally agreed on the spot!

This made Wei Ying stunned for a moment, and even wondered if His Royal Highness the King of Qin had not heard clearly......

"That's it! This king has already made it clear...... Any policy that can enrich the country and strengthen the people can be admonished! What's more, what about just land reform? ”

Zhao Zheng was a little confused by the sudden reaction of the two, but he didn't think much about it, but gently raised his hand and motioned for Wei Ying to continue to clarify the strategy of changing the law.

"Tianji, you go on."

“…… Here! ”

Wei Ying bowed deeply, looked at His Royal Highness King Qin, who was worried about the prosperity of the country and the people, and couldn't help but feel even more responsible, and immediately continued with a solemn face.

"My king, whether the country is strong or not, whether it is the rule of law or farming, in the final analysis, lies in the population! Therefore, in view of the prosperity of the people, the minister has the following two strategies! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zheng suddenly became interested, and hurriedly sat up straight, looking at Wei Ying with expectant eyes.

After all, population is the foundation of a country, and if you don't have enough people, it's all in vain!

"This is the fifth policy of the change proposed by the minister! That is, to abolish slavery and establish a meritorious system! As long as there is merit, slaves can also be converted into commoners, and even become officials! ”

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but agree with this.

As a modern person, there is no innate psychological obstacle to the abolition of slavery, not to mention that the transformation of slaves into the people of Qin through meritorious service can increase the population of Qin in a short period of time and make the people of Qin prosperous!

For such things that benefit the country and the people, Zhao Zheng has no reason to refuse.

Therefore, after a little thought, he agreed on the spot.

"Abolish slavery and establish a meritorious system...... Good! ”

Wei Ying was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still held back the excitement in his heart and continued to add.

"In addition, the minister thinks that if my Qin State wants to expand its population, it needs to attract foreign population!"

Immediately, Wei Ying suddenly made the gesture of 'six' again, and said the sixth method change on the spot.

"This is the sixth strategy of the change proposed by the minister! That is, to compile a household registration, check the population, and implement the household registration system! ”

After saying that, Wei Ying smiled lightly again, as if he remembered something, and continued to add.

"When the minister first entered the Qin State, he stayed in the Huaxia Trade City for a while, and met many foreign businessmen who were interested in moving their families to the Qin State."

When it came to Huaxia Trade City, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but smile at Zhao Qian, obviously understanding that he had just passed by Wei Ying.

Since then, the minister has had such thoughts! The household registration system was implemented in our Qin State, so as to strengthen the concept of nationalism, and to attract foreign populations by entering the household registration and transferring to nationals, and enjoying unique national treatment! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zheng and Zhao Qian couldn't help but bow their heads, obviously agreeing with it.

They do not go deep into the people, and they do not know the various systems of the Qin State, which has attracted many foreign populations to take the initiative to stay in the Qin State, and they have no consciousness to promote these foreign populations to really settle in the Qin State through administrative means such as systems.

However, Wei Ying keenly discovered this, and consciously intervened through administrative intervention to really keep these people in the Qin State, and even attract more people to the Qin State!

If the household registration system can be implemented at this time, by joining the household registration of the Qin State and becoming the citizens of the Qin State, these foreign populations who are interested in staying in the Qin State can be completely transformed into the people of the Qin State, and the population problem can be quickly solved!

And after these people stay in the Qin State, whether they are farming or doing business, they can better promote the rapid development of the Qin State's national strength!

In this way, the increasingly powerful Qin State will attract more foreign populations to join the Qin State, and the Qin State will continue to take off due to the rapid increase in population, thus enhancing its attractiveness to the outside world again!

Over time, this will form a sustainable and benign development model, so that the Qin State will officially get on the right track and become an increasingly powerful and prosperous county!

Therefore, for such a good policy to strengthen the country, Zhao Zheng responded happily on the spot.

"Yes! That's a great deal! ”

When Wei Ying heard these praises, the joy on his face overflowed, and then he continued to elaborate.

"My king, a large number of foreign populations have poured into the Qin State, but it will bring a series of new problems! Especially in terms of language and commerce, there are many inconveniences. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zheng and Zhao Qian immediately listened attentively, and it was obvious that Wei Ying had already considered all the aspects involved in the change of law extremely mature and perfect.

Therefore, the minister proposed the seventh policy of changing the law - unifying weights and measures, unifying the language and writing! In this way, to facilitate business and trade exchanges, and at the same time, it is enough to better unite the people's hearts and national strength! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but bow his head slightly, showing appreciation.

Obviously, Wei Ying's thoughtfulness in considering the change was far beyond all his imagination!

Even after a large number of immigrants entered Qin, the business and language problems that might arise were clearly considered in advance, and a simple and effective solution was given!

Unified weights and measures make business and trade unimpeded.

In addition to the convenience of the people, the unification of the written and written language can better unite the people, continuously strengthen the national concept of the Qin State, allow them to better integrate into the Qin State, and reduce the negative impact and cultural contradictions caused by the large influx of foreign population.

Therefore, for Wei Ying's proposed seventh policy of changing the law, Zhao Zheng smiled and agreed on the spot!

"Good! Heaven is thoughtful, and it should be so! ”

When Wei Ying heard this, he immediately bowed down, and after accepting the praise of His Royal Highness King Qin, he followed suit.

"In addition, the minister also has an eighth law change strategy to complement it! That is to change customs, get rid of border customs, and comprehensively move closer to the Central Plains from the customs and culture to learn! ”

As soon as this eighth policy of changing the law came out, Zhao Zheng suddenly stagnated, and then he suddenly realized that in the eyes of the big Central Plains countries such as Dali and Daxing, Daqian was still a little barbaric and vulgar, and still retained some remote and vulgar customs.

Therefore, Wei Ying's policy is to call on all the people to move closer to the etiquette and culture of the Central Plains.

In this way, it can better integrate the foreign population into the Qin State, eliminate cultural barriers and contradictions, and enable the entire Qin State to achieve a high degree of unity in economy, politics and culture, and gather a stronger sense of national pride and cultural belonging!

After achieving complete cultural unification, these new Chinese who joined the Qin State naturally became the subjects of the Qin State permanently, almost the same as the old Qin people who had lived in Qinchuan for generations.

After all, in the future, the concept of Qinchuan County will gradually fade, and it will be replaced by the rising star of the future - Qin State!

And the improvement of culture will also promote the all-round improvement of the overall national quality and comprehensive national strength of Qin!

Therefore, in the face of Wei Ying's policy of changing customs, Zhao Zheng was very relieved and agreed.

There is such a minister, but why worry that the Qin country is not rich, why worry that the Qin country is not strong? !

"My king, the eight strategies for changing the law mentioned above by the ministers, if it is said that it is to make the Qin State rich, it is not difficult, but if it is really said to be a strong country...... But you have to rely on the following two strategies! ”

At this moment, Wei Ying suddenly spoke, but Zhao Zheng was immediately stunned, and then looked at Wei Ying with great curiosity.

"Oh? Heavenly ...... What is the strategy of strengthening the country? ”

Zhao Zheng was really a little curious at this time, after all, the above eight articles were enough to make the Qin State prosperous, but how could it be regarded as a real power in Wei Ying's mouth?

"Return to my king! A real power cannot be done without the prosperity of force! It seems that the Daxing Dynasty, although it seems to be full of flowers, cooking oil with fire, and rich in armor, it can be called the best of the Three Kingdoms! Actually......"

As soon as this remark came out, Wei Ying rarely described a different Daxing dynasty.

Such a novel remark suddenly made Zhao Zheng and Zhao Qian very moved, and they all looked at Wei Ying, looking forward to what amazing words he would say next!

And when Wei Ying mentioned the Daxing Dynasty, he smiled lightly and couldn't help but shake his head.

"In fact, it is a golden jade! There is no wealth of the Three Kingdoms, but there is no matching force to protect it! After all, it's like a mirror, and it can't last long! ”

Such an evaluation suddenly made Zhao Zheng and Zhao Qian fall into deep thought.

The Daxing Dynasty advocated Confucianism and advocated the use of etiquette to educate the world, and there were countless red tapes.

The literary style in the country is extremely prosperous, the status of military generals is low, and there are only a handful of people who are good at fighting!

Therefore, Wei Ying compared it to a mirror and a moon, which will eventually be shattered in disillusionment, but it is difficult for Zhao Zheng and Zhao Qian to refute it.

On the contrary, it seems that Wei Ying's words are reasonable, and he agrees with it in his heart.

"Therefore, my Qin State can't be like a big deal, and in the end I made a wedding dress for others by guarding the treasure house! Instead, it is necessary to strengthen the army and enrich the country, and go hand in hand to stand among Kyushu! ”

Wei Ying stood proudly in the main hall, and Zhao Zheng, who listened to the impassioned words, was excited, and couldn't help but say in a loud voice.

"Heavenly Machine! But I don't know what is the method of strengthening the army?! ”

"Return to my king! The ninth policy of changing the law offered by the minister is the law of strengthening the army! ”

Speaking of this, Wei Ying was a little excited for a while!

"This method of strengthening the army is to reward military merits and prohibit private fighting! On the basis of the Fifth Meritorious Service Reward System, strengthen the military merit reward and promulgate the 20th rank knighthood system according to the military merit reward! No matter who you are, as long as you make military contributions to my Qin country, you can reward Tian Zhai and increase the rank of knight! ! ! ”

After speaking, without waiting for His Royal Highness King Qin to speak, Wei Ying added one after another.

"In this way, my Qin State has its own good warriors who go forward and succeed! As for the prohibition of private fighting, it is because our Qin country is located in a remote area, and the people are fierce! Whenever there is a dispute, it is mostly resolved by private fighting, and there are often heavy casualties, which greatly depletes the source of taxes and military service in our Qin State! ”

As he spoke, Wei Ying couldn't help but shake his head slightly, obviously since entering Qin, the style of private fighting of the old Qin people, who were fierce in the people's customs, seemed to have made him remember it vividly, and it should not be taken lightly!

Therefore, the minister proposed to promulgate a law to strictly control the practice of private fighting! The first is to retain the vitality of our Qin State, and the second is to establish the core concept of the rule of law! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zheng and Zhao Qian couldn't help but bow their heads slowly.

It is only because of the trend of private fighting that not Qinchuan is a place and a county, but the entire Daqian people have such stubborn diseases.

Most of the people live in poor places, and the people are fierce and brave in battle, but the negative problems brought about by this are also the wind of private struggle that is difficult to restrain them!

Therefore, from the perspective of the state, it is particularly important to use laws and systems to restrain the trend of private fighting among the people.

Yes, after Zhao Zheng thought about it slightly, he said yes with his head bowed.

"The wind of private fighting should be restrained, and military merit should be rewarded! That's a great deal! ”

When Wei Ying heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved, after all, rewarding military merit is a very important strategy to strengthen the army!

If His Royal Highness the King of Qin agrees to this policy, then the content of the law change can be implemented smoothly nine times out of ten!

Therefore, after His Royal Highness King Qin agreed, Wei Ying, who was completely relaxed, once again expounded his last strategy for changing the law!

"My king, the last plan proposed by your ministers...... It is to stop the war with commerce and officially trade with Beidi on a large scale, in exchange for the opportunity for the development of our Qin State! ”

After speaking, looking at His Royal Highness King Qin thoughtfully, Wei Ying hurriedly added.

"In fact, the reason why Beidi has been burning, killing and looting for many years is nothing more than that it is inseparable from the salt, iron and other necessary materials in my Central Plains! The countries of Kyushu all regard the barbarians as uncivilized people, and disdain to trade with them, but instead block the border gates and severely crack down on those who trade with the barbarians! ”

Wei Ying talked eloquently, obviously having his own different opinions on the matter of the barbarian Rong Di Koubian that was a great headache for the Central Plains countries.

"In this way, nature forced the barbarians to invade year after year in order to obtain the necessary supplies! But my Qin State, why not open the city, formally trade with Beidi, and reach a non-war agreement, since then...... You can solve the crisis of Beidi Koubian once and for all! After my Qin country is rich and strong, I can make another plan! ”

This kind of method of ending the war by business is really unheard of, and Zhao Zheng and Zhao Qian, who heard it, couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw the spontaneous admiration in each other's eyes!

And Zhao Zheng couldn't help laughing out loud at this moment, and immediately got up suddenly, strode to Wei Ying, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh heaven...... These ten strategies for changing the law are really a sign of the prosperity and strength of my Qin country! ”

After saying that, he couldn't help but take Wei Ying's hand, looked at Wei Ying, who was excited, and said with great solemnity.

"The Future of the Qin State...... It's in your hands! ”

……

"In the thirteenth year of Shenwu, Wei Ying (the word Tianji) went to Qin and offered ten strategies for changing the law.

First, the rule of law is based on the law.

Second, torture is a heavy punishment, and the punishment for minor crimes is severe.

Third, reclaim wasteland and encourage farming.

Fourth, abolish well fields and private ownership of land.

Fifth, abolish slaves and reward meritorious service.

Sixth, the household registration is compiled and the household registration is implemented.

Seventh, unify weights and measures, and unify the written and written language.

Eighth, change customs and get rid of bad habits.

Ninth, reward military merits and prohibit private fighting.

Tenth, stop the war with business, enrich the country and strengthen the army.

King Qin's great joy, all the allowed!

Since then, Wei Ying has changed the law, and the Qin State has prospered! ”
