Chapter 13 Development of production

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are completely convinced, and they can't be convinced.

In the past, they risked their lives many times to persuade the emperor and reduce their forced labor, but none of them succeeded. But Li Yang directly asked the emperor to dismiss all the servants, which they would never be able to do.

Although they didn't know how Li Yang did all this, they had to secretly admire it.

Li Si was also dumbfounded.

What happened in the early days of the day almost made him doubt his life.

The emperor did not punish Li Yang for his crimes, which already made him feel very puzzled, and then he beheaded two ministers who violated the new law, and now in order to support the new law, he actually wants to dismiss all the servants...

Hiss.....

Li Si gasped, turned his head and secretly glanced at Li Yang, secretly frightened, how powerful is this young man?

Li Si didn't dare to think about it, he found that he had underestimated this person before, and now he very much agreed with his son's words, this person can only be a friend, not an enemy!

As a friend, Li You can still get his care in the future, and he doesn't have to worry about being squeezed out by the Feng and Meng families, and if he is an enemy, I am afraid that there will be only one end, that is, like Liu Yiyang, he died in a daze...

The faces of the people below were full of different colors, and they were naturally looked at by the high-ranking Yingzheng, and snorted coldly: "You must be thinking, why did I decide to dismiss all the servants, right?"

Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Your Majesty's heart, the ministers dare not ponder."

Ying Zheng looked at Feng Quji and said, "Feng Xiang, do you know the reason?"

Feng Qujian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is doing this for the implementation of my Great Qin's new law."

Ying Zheng chuckled lightly and said: "The new law is very important to my Great Qin, so it must be obeyed, but the projects of Xianyang Palace, Lishan, and the Great Wall are also very important.

This problem is exactly what Feng Qujian couldn't figure out in his heart, to reduce the conscription, he shouted for several years, but none of them succeeded, but Li Yang was able to directly ask Yingzheng to dismiss all the conscription, which is simply incredible.

Feng Qujian shook his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is stupid, I hope Your Majesty will make it clear."

"Humph!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and said with great dissatisfaction: "You only know that you will tell me a lot of idle difficulties and a lot of truths, so as to force me to accept your advice and give up building the Great Wall, the Qin Tomb, and the house." Could it be that I don't know that my Great Qin is too heavy? I don't know that the people want to live and work in peace? However, can this Great Wall not be repaired? If you don't repair the Huns, you can drive straight into our Central Plains. There are also Qin Ling and Ah Fang, these two projects are related to the status and majesty of my Great Qin, you say, can you not repair it?"

At this moment, Feng Qujian was really frightened, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead again, and he hurriedly said, "Minister...... Death to you!"

"Wait, ten thousand deaths!"

The civil and military officials were also frightened, and hurriedly admitted their mistakes. At the same time, they were very puzzled in their hearts, the emperor blamed them for not admonishing them to reduce the forced labor, but to affect the project, so why did he promise Li Yang to dismiss all the servants, isn't it a contradiction?

Everyone was blinded, and they only knew that they had their heads down, but they didn't dare to speak.

Jokes, the emperor is angry, who dares to ask?

"That's all you have to say!" Ying Zheng seemed to be even more dissatisfied, and continued: "The biggest difference between you and Li Zhongcheng is that Li Zhongcheng knows how to solve the problem, while you only know how to ask me a bunch of problems, but there is no solution to solve the problem, and you push all the problems to me and let me decide. Hmph, this is what you are doing, you say, what is the use of me waiting for you!"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were already trembling with fright, Feng Quji took out the towel from his cuffs again, and hurriedly wiped his sweat, because the person who the emperor scolded was actually him.

Of course, in addition to him, there is another person who also has sweaty palms, and this person is Fusu who is standing beside the emperor.

Usually, except for Feng Quji, he is the most diligent in advising.

Seeing the trembling appearance of everyone, the emperor seemed to be a lot more angry, and then said: "Li Yang, you tell them about what you call the policy of sustainable development." Tell them all to study hard, don't come to persuade me this and that all day long, first come up with a solution to the problem, it's the ability!"

Yes, in fact, before the opening of the government, Li Yang decided to take a light conscription, and he had already realized that Win Zheng would definitely not agree.

If Ying Zheng does not agree, this new law will naturally be aborted.

However, as a traverser, Li Yang knew very well in his heart that if the problem of light forced labor was not implemented, not only would the people have no way to live, but even Great Qin would die because of it.

Therefore, after thinking hard for a few days, he entered the palace and talked deeply with Yingzheng about the issue of conscription and national engineering, and talked deeply for one night, and borrowed the so-called "sustainable development" policy of later generations, and perfectly solved the problems caused by light conscription, which was deeply satisfied by Yingzheng.

"Your Majesty, the minister's strategy is called 'Sustainable Development Strategy'." Li Yang smiled.

Ying Zheng nodded: "Oh, yes, it's a mistake in the widow's memory, but no matter what it's called, you tell the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty first, so that they can also have a long experience."

"Whoa!" Li Yang gave up his hand and took the order, but he felt funny in his heart, who would have thought that Qin Shi Huang, the tyrant of the ages in the history books, was actually a man of temperament.

Hearing this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all question marks.

Sustainable Development Strategy ...... What the hell?

Although everyone looked confused and confused, but now, they can be regarded as hearing that the reason why the emperor is willing to dismiss all the servants seems to be because Li Yang has solved all these problems, so that the Great Wall, Lishan, Afang Palace and other projects will not be a problem.

It's just that because of this, everyone is even more curious, what is the way to dismiss all the servants, but can solve the problem of the construction period of the project?

Although everyone was meditating in their hearts, they couldn't come up with even the slightest eyebrow.

In the end, he had to sigh, and then looked at Li Yang with curiosity and expectation.

At the same time, Ying Zheng also turned his head sideways and reminded Fusu: "Son, Li Zhongcheng's strategy, you have to listen carefully."

Fusu hurriedly nodded: "Erchen knows."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

There is no way, because his son is deeply influenced by the Confucian doctrine of his teacher Chun Yuyue, he only knows how to blindly pursue benevolent government, but does not look at the reality in front of him, and ignores the country's engineering plans, which is really a woman's benevolence.

I think that at the beginning, if it wasn't for the fact that Fusu was too benevolent, he would not have been ruthless and sent his son to the border of the Great Wall to be a prisoner.

At the beginning, those disciples of the Confucian family strongly opposed the county system and suggested returning to the feudal system, which was a big matter and was really misleading the country. And this son of his own, but his benevolence is overflowing, for fear that the Confucian people in the world will make chaos, and blindly try to protect the Confucian scholars and ask for their lives, how foolish.

Now, although Yingzheng is no longer angry with Fusu and has summoned him back, the cowardice of this woman's benevolence still has to be corrected, especially the Confucian things.

Yingzheng is really worried that if Fusu takes the throne in the future, he will really change his central system and restore the whole country to the feudal system.

The reason why he was so angry just now was that he was scolding Feng Quji and other ministers on the surface, but in fact, he wanted Fusu to understand a truth, as the successor of Daqin in the future, in the face of various problems in Daqin, the first thing to think about is to solve problems, not to give concessions to problems and difficulties.

In fact, the reason why Yingzheng took Fusu to the early dynasty today was to ask him to come to the palace to listen and see how Li Yang governed the country and dealt with problems.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help sighing, they are all young people in their twenties, why is the gap so big?

If you look at Li Yang, it's very good!

He even thought about how good it would be if Li Yang was his son. Even if he was going to die now, he didn't have any regrets or worries, because he believed that Daqin would be worry-free in Li Yang's hands.

It's a pity that Li Yang is not his son. own son....... Ay.....

Just when Ying Zheng was angry with his son, Li Yang below also began to talk about the sustainable development strategy....

Li Yang stepped forward, walked up three steps, stood under Yingzheng, then turned around, faced everyone in the hall, glanced at the civil and military officials, and then spoke: "Before we talk about the sustainable development strategy, I have three questions, I want to ask you first."

"As soon as I asked, I wanted to ask Feng Xiang."

"Feng Xiang has advised His Majesty many times to take a light conscription, which shows that Feng should know the current situation of the people of Great Qin. So I want to ask Feng Xiang, what is the current situation of the people today?"

Li Yang looked at Feng Quji in front of him and asked.

Feng Quji glanced at Ying Zheng, as if he had been scolded by Ying Zheng before, he still had palpitations at this time, and he was afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Li Yang smiled: "Feng Xiang can answer truthfully, no need to be nervous."

Feng Qujian felt a little more comfortable, pondered for a while, and finally mustered up the courage and said, "Since Li Zhongcheng wants the prime minister to tell the truth, then the prime minister will boldly talk about the current situation of my Great Qin people."

"From the Warring States Period to the unification, the registered population of my Daqin was about 20 million. The total number of conscripts levied is 700,000 in the Xiu'afang Palace, 300,000 in the Lishan Tomb, 500,000 in the north of the Great Wall, and 500,000 in the south of Wuling, and the total number of conscripts can be estimated to be about 2 million. In terms of military service, the army led by Meng Tian is 300,000 people, the army led by Zhao Tuo is 500,000, and the army of each county and Chengbian will not be less than 1 million people. “

"The number of people who have comprehensive conscription and military service is as many as more than 3 million, which accounts for about 30% of the total population of our Great Qin, and all of them are Ding Zhuang laborers. It can be said that except for the old, weak and young women, all the young and strong people of my Great Qin are here. So ....."

Speaking of this, Feng Quji was a little scared, glanced at Ying Zheng again, and saw that Ying Zheng had no displeasure, so he continued: "Therefore, if there is a serious shortage of young and strong labor, there is now a serious situation where the old and weak are not able to cultivate and maintain temperature, and the military salary and tax are even more uncollectible. What is even more serious is that five or six out of 10 people who have become border workers will not survive, and most of those who have served in forced labor will either die on the way or in the course of working on the project, resulting in a rapid decline in the number of young and strong laborers, and so on......... It's hard to last much longer. ”

Thinking of the current situation of Daqin, Feng Qujian felt sad in his heart, as the right prime minister of Daqin, facing such a serious situation, do you say that he can not worry, can he not be anxious

?

Feng Quji was really sad, he felt that he was too wronged, over the years, seeing the situation getting worse and worse, he was so anxious that he risked his life to advise him many times, but His Majesty didn't listen to it once, and today he was scolded by His Majesty in public.

Alas, if it continues like this, Daqin will be closed!

However, this time the emperor decided to dismiss all the conscripts, which gave Feng Quji hope, because this meant that the crisis of Great Qin could finally be completely resolved.

There are more than two million servants, all of whom are young and strong, and all of them have returned to the fields to engage in farming, and there is hope for Daqin.

Although he was scolded by His Majesty today, thinking of this, Feng Quji was still very grateful to Li Yang, if not for anything else, because he could win a way to live for the people of the world and resolve the dilemma for Daqin.

After Feng Quji told the truth about the current situation of Great Qin, especially when he heard the figures he said, everyone in the hall realized the seriousness of the matter and was heartbroken

Worried.

Especially Fusu, who was so worried that he even opened his mouth wide.

Of course, Ying Zheng was also secretly frightened, he had never thought of the current situation of Great Qin to such a serious point.

Li Yang nodded and said, "Feng Xiang's speech is so comprehensive, it shows that Feng Xiang is worried about the country and the people, no one can compare."

Feng Quji was stunned, Li Yang praised him so much, he was very surprised, and at the same time, his heart was also warm, and he felt that someone had finally said a fair word for him.

Suddenly, he was grateful in his heart, and arched his hand: "Thank you Li Zhongcheng for your praise!"

Li Yang smiled, and then his face became a little solemn: "Feng Xiang said, it can be seen that the crisis of my Great Qin has reached the time when it cannot be delayed, and what Feng Xiang said, 'such a situation is unsustainable', is the current situation of Great Qin."

Everyone nodded their heads and agreed with Li Yang's summary.

Li Yang then looked at He Zhang and asked, "Second question, I would like to ask General He Zhang, how long will it take for the major projects to be completed according to the current situation?"

He Zhang was obviously stunned, and his face immediately became very ugly, obviously this question was also very difficult for him.

There's no way, the answer is good, I can't do it myself, if I answer truthfully, the emperor will be angry again, I really don't know what to do.

He said with a bitter face: "......... Zhongyu, are the lower officials also telling the truth?"

Who knows, but he was glared at angrily again by the first emperor Yingzheng: "It's hard to lie if you want to lie!"

Poor He Zhang, once again frightened a spirit, his body shook, almost knelt down, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Zhongcheng, if the Great Wall connects the Great Wall of Qin, Zhao, and Yan in the past under the condition of sufficient manpower, it is expected that it will take three years to complete, and the Qinling Tomb of Lishan will only take half a year to complete, and there will be Afang Palace, it will take five years."

Speaking of this, he cautiously glanced at Ying Zheng, then at Li Yang, and saw that he didn't seem to have said the wrong thing, so he breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, these data are all the original estimates of the time, of course, the current situation is obviously not like this, but he dare not say.

Li Yang nodded and smiled: "You also said that this is the time it will take for the projects to be completed under the condition of sufficient manpower, but if you look at the current situation, how long does General He Zhang expect the projects to be completed?"

Hearing this, He Zhang trembled.

Mom, Li Yang, do you really want to kill me?

He Zhang's face turned pale with fright, and he was terrified. According to the status quo, the status quo is that there is no one to levy, and the status quo is that even the existing servants are almost to the point of having no food to eat, or it will not be long before the existing servants are afraid that they will all starve to death, and they will complete a wool!

What the do you want me to talk about in such a situation?

Honestly, isn't this looking for death?

He Zhang came from the heart, what kind of sin did he create, he was good, no one was offended, if you want to talk about your sustainable development strategy, then you can talk about it, why do you want to catch yourself such a person who will be a young man to toss,

He Zhang couldn't wait to beat his chest, did you know that this would kill me?

Glancing up at Li Yang, this guy was staring at himself, He Zhangxin was dead, so he had to ask again: "Is this ...... This time, are you still telling the truth?"

"He Zhang!" This time, Ying Zheng is really angry, this guy is sick today! said angrily: "If you don't reply truthfully, you won't be spared!"

Thump.....

He Zhang's feet were weak, and he knelt down directly, his heart was like ashes, and he felt like a little daughter-in-law who had been wronged, and said, "Your Majesty, your ...... I really don't dare to say it!"

It's okay now, and I was forced to cry directly.

Poor He Zhang.....

"Say!" Ying Zheng snorted coldly.

When Li Yang saw He Zhang's pitiful appearance, he also felt a little sympathy for him, and comforted: "Your Majesty asked you to say it, and you just replied truthfully, you don't need to be so nervous."

He Zhang has a feeling of wanting to die, isn't this all forced by you like this?
