"Do you really think that if you can't supply food, you can completely dissuade me from stopping the attack on Taiyuan County?"
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
"Your Majesty, although there are many granaries, they are not full.".
"Take Sanjiang County as an example, this place is indeed suitable for farming, and there is an abundance of food."
"However, the farmers are poor tenants, and they can only collect 10% of the grain per acre of land."
"And the imperial court collects taxes and grain, so it doesn't dare to collect more, at most it can only collect two percent, which is already the limit."
"Therefore, the major granaries can't store much grain at all."
"Moreover, since Your Majesty has changed the tax system, it is still necessary to wait until after this autumn harvest to be able to really take effect."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he immediately heard that something was wrong.
How? Those who farm the land can harvest one percent by themselves, and the remaining ninety percent will be gone?
The imperial court also only took one to two percent.
Zhao Hai roared angrily and slapped the table in front of him, "Nonsense!" ”
"The tenant takes one percent, the court takes one percent, and who takes the remaining eighty percent?"
Hearing this, the ministers immediately looked at Zhao Hai with horror on their faces, kept silent, and didn't dare to say anything.
It's as if opening your mouth will violate some taboo.
At this time, only Wei Qian, the right prime minister who is not afraid of heaven and earth, dares to stand up and speak.
"Your Majesty, most of the remaining eighty percent of the small heads are in the hands of the squires and landlords, while the big heads are all handed over and handed over to the actual owners of the land, the family lords, and the nobles."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he sneered, "I said, why are some of these nobles living more luxuriously than me, and I am still wondering where these people's money came from, why can't they be used up." ”
"It's funny to think about it now."
"Why do they take so much! This is simply ridiculous! ”
Hearing this, the ministers all changed their faces.
These people are the foundation of Great Qin's rule and have high prestige among the people.
Moreover, many ministers were originally from these families, how could they not protect their own interests?
There are more than three rank of the big people stood up, immediately clasped their hands and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is something that has existed since Yao Shun, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”
"As the saying goes, all the kings of the world belong to one king."
"Although they all have to listen to Your Majesty and submit to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty wants to rule the world, you have to rely on their help."
"Besides, these things are all ancestral inheritances, and they are all exchanged for war exploits, how can they be abnormal?"
"Even when the first emperor was in power, there was no change in this matter, and these landlords were all strong people who came out when Qin destroyed the world."
Zhao Hai looked at this person and said with a smile: "So, these people are all riding on my neck?" The entire Great Qin, want to give him a slave and a maid? ”
"Or do I want to take back what I just said and apologize to you?"
Hearing this, the Sanpin master immediately knelt on the ground in horror.
"Your Majesty, the old minister definitely didn't mean that, Your Majesty."
"It's just that since the ancestors of raising horses, Daqin has relied on the hard work of these right-hand men to have today's prosperous Daqin."
"In these processes, they have given great support, countless people have paid for their lives, and land and slaves have been exchanged for war exploits."
"How did it become guilty?"
"It's not appropriate to talk about this matter now, I'm afraid it will hurt the country's credibility."
He didn't dare to finish his words, after all, he was a big nobleman who ate his ancestors' military exploits and became an official, lived a rich life, and had 10,000 acres of fertile land at home.
"Your Majesty, this is not a big rebellion, it's just to eat some of the ancestors' juelu, which is all replaced by the ancestors' immediate military exploits."
"Yes, Your Majesty, many of those slaves who farmed the fields were remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and it is already a merciful act to let them eat well."
"Isn't it right for them to work and take away their harvest?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, the old minister is closed (this chapter is not finished!) )

The people of the Li family, Lao Chen felt that there was nothing wrong with it. ”
"yes, what's wrong with me? If those untouchables had not been ruled by us, I am afraid that they would have been thinking about coveting comfort and rebellion all the time. ”
Watching the ministers stand up one after another, although Zhao Hai's face was full of unhappiness, he was helpless.
For what they say is indeed the truth.
Great Qin had always used the military merit title system before.
These landlords are really the reward land that their ancestors got after they made great achievements.
In this way, most people have not received it, after all, there are too many military achievements, but the land resources of Daqin are limited, so there is no way to isolate the Shang Yang who implemented this system.
In this way, the anger of the people was calmed.
If you want to take away the land in their hands at this time, I am afraid it will kill them.
At this time, among Cao Jingchun, the poor students who relied on reading didn't dare to say a word.
Because, if you are promoted like this, you don't really conform to the rules.
In the official-oriented society, it is already detrimental to the interests of these nobles.
If you dare to speak again, I am afraid that you will be regarded as the enemy of everyone.
I panicked to death.
In addition, Zhao Hai obviously held a grudge against them.
With such a male lord in mind, I am afraid that the future will not be very easy.
At this time, Zhao Hai looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and knew that it was not easy to do.
After all, to put it mildly, a hundred years later, I'm afraid that Daqin will be gone, but these wealthy and aristocratic families will still exist.
Zhao Hai grabbed his hair with some annoyance, and then said with a dissatisfied face: "Since this is the case, then you can only buy it." ”
"Tell the nobles of the major families, just say that they should contribute to the country, if something happens to Daqin, it will not be good for anyone."
"I want to use the money in the treasury to buy the grain in their hands, and if anyone does not cooperate, don't think about coming to the side for good things in the future."
Zhao Hai said coldly: "Let them, raise your noble hand." ”
After Zhao Hai finished his last sentence, the whole person became gloomy, as if a thunderbolt opened directly on his face.
Seeing Zhao Hai's dissatisfied expression, many officials were shocked, especially officials from some big families, who could be regarded as the rulers of the family, and knew some of the things their family had done over the years.
Zhao Hai's eyes flashed with a strong sense of unyielding and anger.
However, Zhao Hai did not vent on the spot, because he knew that this matter could not be expressed at will.
The family is inextricably linked with him.
Everyone froze for a moment, and no one would speak.
