Li Yang glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "However, have you ever thought about how you can reduce the number of conscripts if you only reduce the number of conscripts?" Two million servants, let 500,000 servants go back to farming?"

Without waiting for Feng to reply, Fusu, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, couldn't help but nod and said: "That's right, it is this method that can not only ease the livelihood of the people, but also protect the construction of the country as scheduled.

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Fusu's words.

Li Yang didn't have the slightest displeasure, and he didn't say good, nor did he say bad, he just chuckled lightly and said: "The strategy of reducing the number of levies, Gu Ran can, but the minister has a question, and he wants to ask His Highness."

Fusu stretched out his hand and signaled: "Zhongcheng said."

Li Yang said: "The minister wants to ask His Royal Highness, have you ever thought that if you dismiss 500,000 of the 2 million servants, these 500,000 servants will only cultivate their own fields and only pay the taxes that their own families should pay, and the remaining 1.5 million servants will not be able to return home to farm all year round, and the old, weak, women and widows in the family will all starve to death, and the taxes paid by the 500,000 people who return home to farm, although they can still support my Great Qin military government, it is difficult to support 1.5 million servants, so in the end, isn't it that in the end, I only have the 500,000 families left in Daqin?" And those national projects have also died?"

".................." The audience was silent, and everyone was stunned when they asked this question!

Fusu was also speechless when asked directly, and was completely stunned on the spot.

For a long time, Fusu felt that the policy of light conscription that he said could be called the best of both worlds, but now that he was asked by Li Yang, he suddenly realized that the method he said before to reduce the number of conscripts seemed to be really flawed.

If 500,000 of the 2 million conscripts were disbanded, it would obviously be impossible for these 500,000 to feed the entire Great Qin Empire.

And the consequences of such ......

Fusu pondered for a while, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out, and he found that such consequences would indeed be as Li Yang said, and in the end, the country would still be in a quagmire, and the other 1.5 million servants and their families would not be able to survive one out of ten.

Thinking of this, Fusu suddenly had a feeling of being held in front of him. The previous self-confidence and previous belief collapsed in an instant at this moment, and I felt extremely frustrated, and my heart suddenly became empty, as if my soul had been knocked out by this hand.

He never dreamed that the policy and strategy that he had thought could save Great Qin in the past would have such big loopholes and flaws, and these loopholes and flaws that had never been considered made the strategy of simply reducing the number of conscripts seem worthless and useless.

He suddenly realized how naïve and self-righteous he had been.

Fusu was really completely confused at this moment......

Of course, as much as he was in the first place, Feng Quji, and the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court, they didn't expect that reducing the number of conscripts would still be so bad in the end.

Surprised, surprised, confused.....

Everyone felt like they were an idiot, and they had never imagined that the outcome of a light conscription would be like this.

Call.....

Feng Qu was so shocked that he was speechless.

The advice he has been giving to the emperor for the past few years is so unbearable, and what is even more ridiculous is that he didn't know it before, and he complained that the emperor didn't listen to the advice, and felt deeply aggrieved and sad.

Now it seems that whether Your Majesty listens to his own advice or not, what difference does the result make?

Originally, I thought that his "light conscription" policy was more perfect than his "light conscription" policy, but now it seems that it is not as good as his "light conscription" policy, at least so that all the people in the world can be busy with farming when they are busy with farming, although the construction of the country will be affected, but the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Sighing in his heart, Feng Quji suddenly seemed to be bald, and felt that he was so useless.

At this time, he had to admit that Li Yang's view of the problem was far-reaching and comprehensive, and he couldn't help but bow his hand and said: "Li Zhongcheng's words made Feng feel extremely ashamed, but I didn't expect that the countermeasures I came up with in the past were actually misguided policies. The ministers ......... are guilty!"

After speaking, Feng Qu bowed his hand to Yingzheng in pain and asked for responsibility.

Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to hold it up, and said: "Feng Xiang is dedicated to my Daqin, hard work, what is the crime, Feng Xiang should continue to listen to Li Zhongcheng talk about his sustainable development strategy with me!"

"Minister...... Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Feng Quji's heart was moved, and then he retreated to the queue of hundreds of officials, waiting for Li Yang to teach a lecture on sustainable development strategy.

Feng Quji can feel that Li Yang's sustainable development strategy is not just to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, otherwise the emperor would not have agreed to dismiss all the servants, to be honest, Feng Qujian at this moment is a little eager to listen to Li Yang's high opinions.

After completely rejecting the previous strategy, Li Yang was still quite complacent, smiled, and continued:

"My Excellency, after many discussions, it can now be seen that neither the status quo nor the reduction of the number of conscripts is sustainable. However, what I want to tell you is that what is sustainable means that people are not exhausted, food is not exhausted, and national strength is not exhausted. “

"And if these three are not exhausted, there is only one side, dismiss all the servants, raise the young and strong labor force of the whole country, and be busy farming, so that people can live, food can be abundant, taxes can be sufficient, and national strength can be rich, based on this, the Great Qin Empire can last for 10,000 years."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Su Fu's eyes lit up, as if he saw the infinite hope of Daqin, but after thinking about it carefully, he was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Li Zhongcheng, such a country and the people are safe, it is the blessing of all the people, and it is also the blessing of my Daqin, but when the farming is busy, there is no obligation to be forced into labor, is this ...... This is still difficult to understand the various constructions under the country?"

Li Yang smiled disappreciatively and said, "Project bidding!"

....

"Project tender?"

???

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty once again had a question mark on their faces.

One by one, they looked confused, and they didn't know what the hell this project bidding was.

Fusu has an illusion, that is, it seems that in front of this Li Zhongcheng, everyone has become an idiot, he can't understand anything, and he has to ask him everything.

There was no way, he couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, he still decided to ask shamelessly: "Zhongcheng, what do you mean by bidding for this project?" Can it really solve the problem of forced labor?"

Everyone looked at Li Yang with curiosity.

Li Yang nodded and said: "The bidding for the project is to price the projects of Lishan and the Great Wall. Contracted to some powerful businessmen, let the businessmen find someone to build the construction. In this way, the merchants can make a profit from the price difference, and the people can also earn money and food to solve the livelihood problem, and I Daqin is not suspected of violating the new law, and more importantly, the project can be carried out smoothly all year round. ”

"What? Handful...... Undertake all these works......... Contracted to merchants!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

This is not to say that these projects cannot be done by businessmen, but that these projects are so difficult that even the whole country is difficult to carry out, so these businessmen ...... Can they do it? Could it be that a merchant would be more powerful than my entire Great Qin Country?

Obviously, this is impossible!

Suddenly, everyone felt that Li Yang was a little floating, too self-righteous.

If it weren't for Li Yang's words earlier, Feng Quji would have wanted to scold Li Yang for fooling around!

It is simply whimsical to contract such a huge national project to a businessman!

Although Feng Quji couldn't help but didn't reprimand Li Yang for fooling him face-to-face, he still asked directly: "Does Li Zhongcheng think that a businessman can do such a huge project?" Moreover, even if the merchant can do it, the merchant still needs to find a man, and if the man is expropriated by the merchant, will it not be left uncultivated?"

Li Yang had already guessed that they would have this question, and said directly: "Feng Xiang doesn't know, businessmen hire labor, and the state conscription, the two are very different." The state conscripts, and the people of the world have to obey, while the merchants hire laborers, and the people can go according to the situation. In this way, the people can go to the place where they work, earn money and food, and serve the country according to their own situation. ”

When everyone heard this, they were silent for a while, because what Li Yang said seemed to make sense.

Feng Quji also frowned, and began to grind into Li Yang's words.

Seeing that everyone did not immediately refute and question, Li Yang knew that what he said was not wrong, so he continued: "I am a big Qin Tian tax, you should know better than your own appearance, the field tax is high, up to three percent to two, the people harvest three stone chestnut rice, need to pay two stones, and they only get one stone." And I, Daqin, have a per capita cultivation area of 12 mu and a yield of 6 stones per mu, so it only takes one year, and the country is rich enough to fully bear the money for labor. Moreover, the people work for profit, and I dare to assert that they must be several times more efficient than before. ”

Li Yang calculated very clearly, in the Qin period, one stone was equal to 30 kilograms in later generations, and one mu of chestnut rice was only six stones, that is, 180 kilograms, and the total cultivated area in the Qin period reached nearly 2.3 billion mu, that is, the annual output of chestnut rice was 450 billion kilograms, and the field tax was 300 billion kilograms.

Just imagine, the total population of Daqin is 20 million people, and the people keep 150 billion kilograms of grain, which can solve the temperature protection, but the treasury of Daqin has 300 billion kilograms of grain a year, which is twice that of the people in the world, and the country only needs to raise an army of one million, and the people do not need to raise it, so much grain is naturally enough to support the project.

In fact, there are also relevant records in the history books, saying that "one husband coerces five people to govern a hundred fields", that is, the level of productivity at that time, a middle-aged man with a family of five can cultivate 100 acres of land. And there is also a record that "in the field, the husband eats for nine days, and the husband eats in the field." It can be beneficial, it cannot be damaged, one person can rule it, ten people eat it, and six animals are among them. ”

All this shows that in fact, at that time, one person could feed ten people, but because of the heavy taxes, two-thirds of them were handed over to the state, so in this way, the people were only enough to protect themselves, and the surplus grain was all in the treasury.

This is why the Qin State has exhausted all the young and strong labor, but it can still hold on to this day, raising two million servants to eat and drink every year, until today.

It is because of the heavy land tax that the full amount of land grain collected in a year is enough to support the military and government and two million servants.

Isn't it shocking, isn't it very surprised, this is different from the history that everyone understands, the ancient people had so much food, but everyone had the impression that the people were not able to make a living, they were hungry and did not choose food, and they were miserable.

In fact, this is because there have been many wars in the past dynasties, or caused by excessive forced labor, and various disasters.

This is why, as long as the dynasties are stable, they will be prosperous. In China's 5,000 years of dynastic succession, the prosperous era is all like this, and a little stability is a prosperous era.

In the past generations, what was lacking was not food, but peace and stability.

Li Yang knew that the state treasury was full, and it was completely possible to realize the bidding for the project.

After listening to Li Yang's words, Feng Quji still had something to understand, and asked: "According to Li Zhongcheng's policy, the project is handed over to the businessman to do, if the businessman gives a low salary, the people will not do it, if the salary is high, the people will all work, not for farming, how to solve this problem?"

Li Yang smiled: "Feng Xiang is too worried!" How shrewd a businessman is, how can he not know how many people to use? As for who can go to work and when, it is the business of the people and merchants, even if someone gives up farming and only works for a year, so what does it matter, as long as he can pay enough to pay the tax on the land of the family. If the state can collect the full amount of land tax every year, the project can be operated, and the people will either work for farming, or for work, or engage in cultivation while farming, and then engage in work when the farm is not working, which can ensure their livelihood without worry, so, Daqin Ke'an!"

When they heard this, they all pondered.

In the Qilin Palace, there was an eerie silence.

After a long time, it seemed that they had all figured it out, and they couldn't help but have their eyes shining and their faces excited.

Some people couldn't help but applaud with excitement!

Feng Quji's eyes also lit up at this time, and he suddenly found that if he did what Li Yang said, it seemed that he could really ensure the livelihood of the people, ensure the national taxes, and make the national project go smoothly.

Thinking of this, Feng Quji's whole person became excited, and at the same time, he looked at Li Yang in great surprise, he found that this young man really has surprises every time, and every time it makes people feel like they are eye-opening and subverting cognition.

Starting from his offering of immortal medicine, the analysis of the law, the reform of the new law, and today's sustainable development strategy all give people a wonderful experience of opening up the clouds and fog and suddenly opening up.

In everything, he can see the crux of the problem at a glance.

Problems that no one can solve can be easily solved in front of him......

With a unique vision, novel theories and novel methods, he is a genius in the world!

Feng Quji rarely admired anyone, but this time he was really convinced, and he took a deep seat: "Li Zhongcheng's strategy can really be said to wake up the person in the dream with a word, making me wait like a dream, and I am all admired."

A group of civil and military ministers also bowed their hands to Li Yang one after another, saying: "Zhongcheng is a great talent, I admire it!"

Li Yang also hurriedly arched his hand, which was regarded as a return gift, but he enjoyed the feeling of praise very much on his face.

His policy was recognized and supported by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and Li Yang was also greatly relieved. At the same time, he thought it was funny, he remembered that in the previous world, many people took "the Great Wall tiles" as a joke, but today, he really turned this joke into a fact.

Moreover, this kind of bidding is not just about tiling the Great Wall, but directly building the Great Wall.

I don't know how this incident will be written in the history books in the future?

Thinking of this, Li Yang grinned and couldn't help but smile proudly.

Of course, Fusu was also stunned by Li Yang's strategy, and this time he was really stunned by Li Yang's talent.

Who would dare to think that all the servants would be dismissed?

Leaving projects such as Lishan, Afang, and the Great Wall to businessmen is even more unthinkable.

What's more, all these seemingly outrageous ideas, combined together, actually seem to be really wonderful to solve Daqin's problem.

Call.....

Fusu was completely shocked at the moment and couldn't speak, and he admired Benyang even more to the point of throwing himself to the ground.

Now, he finally understood why his father was willing to dismiss all his servants, and he understood why his father used this person so much.

This person is very human!

It seems that what my father said is right, he is the auspicious star blessing of my Great Qin.
