Chapter 290

Yin Changying's attitude is very clear.

He did not exclude the opening of women's households and gave them the right to personal liberty and property.

The whole country is his, and no matter whether the property rights of the people are owned by men, women or clans, for Yin Changying, it is just the difference between the left hand and the right hand.

However, there is a prerequisite for opening a female household, that is, it must not affect the stability of social order.

After recognizing this, Yin Ji began to organize her thoughts and ponder where to start.

She reviewed the laws of Zhao Guo and found that Legalism was very pragmatic.

Other bureaucrats are very disdainful of businessmen, and Xun Shen, a great sage of legalism, even directly classifies businessmen as the five beetles, thinking that they are the moths of the state, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are shouted and killed.

But they also know in their hearts that a country can't do without businessmen.

Zhaoguo's solution to this problem was to implement farming warfare for the lower classes, and prohibit the people from doing business to prevent the country's atmosphere from deteriorating; For the upper echelons, they did not prohibit the ministers from doing business in private, and they were very generous to foreign businessmen.

The king would even personally meet with certain great merchants and reward and encourage them to sell their homeland for the sake of profit.

Didn't Jiang Zhong do anything to help the former king escape from his homeland in exchange for his career?

After buying bones, there are countless businessmen who are willing to lead the way for Zhaoguo and provide information.

It is true that merchants are moths, but if they are allowed to hollow out other countries, it will be beneficial to their own country.

This is what the Zhao Kingdom thinks, from the king to the Legalist bureaucrats.

But soon, times were different.

Yin Ji had a plan in her heart, and asked seriously: "If the world is unified, how does the eldest brother plan to deal with the merchants?" ”

In the past, Zhao gave preferential treatment to merchants, because merchants were not their own people, and they would not really affect the stability of the country.

But after the unification of the world, the imperial court always has to have an explanation for merchants, right?

Especially in Zheng Guo and Chen Guo, industry and commerce are developed, and the people have been doing business for a long time.

However, if industry and commerce are opened up, the small-scale peasant economy of Zhaoguo, Yanguo, and Zhuguo will be affected to a certain extent.

Even if it is a sweatshop, it makes more money than farming, but it may not be as hard as farming.

Yin Cheng thought about it and felt that the reason why Yin Changying asked her to debate with Zheng Gao was because he was also thinking about which policies to adjust after the unification of the world.

If you want to conquer a piece of land, you just need to fight it; But if you want everyone to really agree with your values, then you can't force everyone to do what you do.

Seven countries, seven different customs, how to harmonize, in order to slowly unify?

According to "history", people's sense of identity comes from the fact that after the fall of the Zhao Kingdom, the heroes competed for the world, fought for many years, and the ten rooms and nine emptiness, leading to the invasion of foreign enemies.

In order to prevent Zhuxia from being destroyed by Yidi, people finally united to resist foreign enemies, and in the process, gradually formed a unified nation and cognition.

But now that the country is in full swing, there will be no worries about the country's demise.

Although the Six Kingdoms are local chickens and dogs, even if the country is destroyed, the local people's cognition is not so easy to change.

Unless we are ruthless in committing genocide, we can only slowly integrate through time and policy.

Seeing that Yin Gao swept away Fang Cai's worries and showed a look of confidence, Zheng Gao silently retreated behind the king, and Yin Changying quietly threw the question back: "What does Auntie think?" ”

"The Legalists stipulate that a family of five should govern 100 acres of land because the crops were not abundant in the past. A hundred-acre field requires five adults to take care of it. Yin Ji said slowly, "But now the yield per mu has skyrocketed, the waterwheel irrigation, the cattle and horses are farming, and two or three people can take care of a hundred acres of land." In this way, there will be a large surplus of labor, does the eldest brother think so? ”

"Yes."

"The abandonment of infants and infanticide by the people has been repeatedly prohibited, and there is no poverty. In the final analysis, it is all because the people are poor and cannot afford to raise children. Now that the yield per mu has increased, the war has been won, the people have surplus money in their hands, and the abandonment of babies has gradually decreased. ”

Speaking of this, Yin Cheng paused for a moment before saying: "In three or five years, I can't see much clue, just because of waterwheels, cattle and horses, improved breeds, etc., which are still popular in Yongzhou for the time being." But what about ten years from now? ”

This is a very practical problem.

Now that Yongzhou's food is skyrocketing and its population is skyrocketing, why doesn't it have much impact?

Because the grain in Yongzhou can be sold to other states, there is no worry about sales.

Children born in the past few years are still in the stage of waiting to be fed, and there is no need to think about how to make a living for the time being.

But what about ten years from now?

Legalists revered a family of five and believed that this was the most stable social state, and whoever did not comply was harboring dissent and wanted to gather a crowd to rebel.

This means that Zhaoguo men must be separated when they reach the age of 20. If you refuse to leave, you will be treated as a criminal, shackled, and thrown away to repair the earth.

The question is, where in the world are there so many fields for them to cultivate?

Although there is certainly enough wasteland in the border counties, the people are certainly not willing to leave their hometowns and go to the border to reclaim wasteland.

Besides, with today's per mu yield, if the land under the whole world is farmland, and the grain output is far higher than the consumption of the population itself, this will lead to the inability to sell grain and the price will be even cheaper.

Even if the state collects grain protectively, it will not be possible to collect so much.

The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants.

Therefore, we absolutely cannot continue to farm the whole people when the yield per mu has skyrocketed, and we must cede a part of the population to industry and commerce.

Let commerce and agriculture grab the population, and let the state regulate it.

There is no doubt that this must be the most in line with the law of social development and relatively the best development trend.

After Yin Cheng elaborated on the pros and cons, she thought about it again and again, and decided to throw out another weight: "Big brother, the future army of Zhaoguo must not be a peasant who has almost no military training and usually carries a hoe every day. If we really want to be enemies of the immortals, we must now build a professional army and cultivate their psychological and combat qualities. ”

In classical military warfare, an army that suffered more than one-tenth of the casualties without collapsing was an invincible and powerful army.

But what about in the face of immortals?

A group of peasants who usually plough the land with their heads bored, see the immortals floating in the sky, and then they throw a witchcraft bomb over, and they directly empty a place, what will be the result?

I'm afraid that I will throw away the weapon on the spot, so I bow my head and bow down.

"Although Zhongtiantai and Shaofu are jointly developing witchcraft props, the props are dead after all, and the talents are alive." Yin Ji looked at her brother and said sincerely, "The system of cultivation and warfare, before the world was unified, was indeed impeccable. But if you are an enemy of the immortals, you will be too backward to apply the old one. ”
