Chapter 702: The Worries of the Aristocrats

Everyone nodded slightly, and found that Qin An was very thoughtful, so even if the other party could really find the entrance to the tunnel, it would soon be turned into an abandoned tunnel by us.

Maybe the person who enters this tunnel will die in this tunnel, which is simply the best artifact for sneak attack.

Qin An continued: "As for building tunnels, forget it, the ten miles and eight towns are basically in the mountains, and it is easier to go directly to the mountain, and after the mountain is your world.

And I'm sure they won't dare to set fire to the mountain."

"You mean they're afraid that wildfires will attract the attention of the state?" Lees said.

Qin An nodded and said, "It will definitely attract the attention of the state. And setting fire to the mountain is actually our last plan, but this plan is a last resort, and it must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary."

The crowd nodded vigorously, as if someone was really coming to attack them.

After Ying Zheng learned about the tunnel battle, he said with great admiration: "The wisdom of the ancestors is really extraordinary.

This book is very good and very useful to us, and I will have people secretly prepare everything.

I'll be leaving tomorrow, and I want to ask you what else you need, just tell me."

Qin An thought for a while and said, "I don't need it for the time being, I have it in the village now."

"That's good. You are busy, you won't have to send me tomorrow, you are busy, it's only been half a year, and the time is very urgent." Ying Zheng said.

Qin An bowed his head and said, "Since this is the case, I won't send my father-in-law, when my father-in-law is ready to take me to meet the people of the outside forces, tell me in advance."

"Okay." Ying Zheng responded.

Then Qin An left after saying a few more words, and the next day they left Zhaojia Village, and Qin An didn't send it, this time he left, Xiang Liang also left, only Zhang Han and Feng Yan stayed.

After going back, Ying Zheng brought up the matter of apportioning the land into the mu.

And this policy suddenly caught a group of nobles, especially the Gan family, the Bai family and the Meng family off guard.

Even Feng Quji didn't react.

In terms of who has the most land, of course, it is their group of nobles, whether it is the old nobles or the new nobles, they have the most land.

Since the Shang Dynasty reformed the law, land became private ownership, and soldiers could make military achievements on the battlefield, thus being knighted, and they could also get land.

And this land becomes private land.

After private ownership, those nobles began to encroach on the land and became the real landlords of Daqin, and after that, there was a lot of land with land, and those who did not have land could only farm for others and became tenants.

Feudal society was slowly formed.

However, Ying Zheng's policy of dividing the land into the mu suppressed all those who owned a large amount of land, whether they were nobles, landlords, or merchants.

Now, the nobles of the entire Xianyang City have gathered together, led by four people, namely Gan Mao, Bai Siqi, Meng Xifan and Feng Quji.

They chartered a restaurant and didn't allow anyone to enter.

Feng Quji saw that the nobles below were talking a lot, and there was also a quarrel, and he had a headache.

This matter concerns the entire aristocratic circle, so whether it is a new nobleman or an old nobleman, no matter if there are any grievances, they have arrived.

The relationship is very good, the two sides talk and laugh, and if the relationship is not good, of course, they look at each other, and if there is hatred, they have already scolded.

However, everyone is a civilized person, and they don't scold people with a dirty word.

"That's enough." Bai Siqi suddenly burst out and said angrily, "Give Lao Tzu quiet."

Gan Mao and the three of them looked at Bai Siqi, this person was born in the army, and he had a violent temper, and he could endure it until now, and he was already very awesome.

The nobles were all stunned by Bai Siqi, and the originally noisy scene suddenly fell silent.

A nobleman spoke, "Master Bai, we are here to discuss how to face His Majesty's apportionment.

Just now I and

The others chatted for a while, but they didn't find a good way, and hoped that the Bai family master, the Gan family master, the Meng family master, and Feng Xiang would come up with a way together."

Bai Si said angrily, "We're in a hurry, aren't we just trying to find a way to come? There are old Qin people, new Qin people, old nobles, new nobles, no matter who they are, there are countless fields.

Once it is apportioned to the acre, we need to pay ten times the hundred, or even a thousand times the grain tax every year.

It's a big deal for us, so we'll all come when we give the order.

Since I'm here, I'm not for you to talk nonsense, and I'm not for you to make noise."

The nobles in the audience were silent again and did not dare to speak again.

Feng Quji spoke at this time, "Don't be angry, the head of the Bai family."

Bai Siqi sighed and sat down directly, this is a group of loose sand, I don't know if I can come up with a way to fight against the paved acres.

Feng Quji stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the policy of spreading the land into the mu will definitely not be thought up by His Majesty, then it must be thought up by the emperor.

I'm afraid that the emperor's proposal has already thought of a way to deal with it, and even if we can do this policy, I'm afraid we won't get any benefits.

So this matter, we are also very embarrassed, you don't know the horror of the emperor, but the four of us know.

Therefore, the four of us do not support or oppose this matter of apportioning the land into the mu, and we will do what the court says.

And to bring you together is to tell you about it, and secondly, so that you can decide for yourselves what to do.

Those who support it stand on the left, and those who don't stand on the right, and those who want to sit still like us."

When everyone heard this, there was a riot below, and you couldn't make up your mind for a while.

Feng Quji said it nicely, what is not supported, nor opposed, what the court lets you do, you do what you do, this is not equivalent to supporting the policy of the imperial court.

They don't want to support it, once they do, their income will be much less, how to do business and how to go to sea when the time comes.

Nowadays, there are many merchant ships on the sea, and they have traded with the Mauryan Empire.

Especially a piece of glaze in Daqin, which can earn a lot of gold in the Peacock Dynasty, is simply a profitable business.

They couldn't afford a boat, but after a few years they could afford it.

Now the imperial court has to collect their taxes again, which means that in a few years, they may not be able to afford it.

Basically, everyone is against it.

However, everyone knows what the consequences of opposition are, and at the same time, everyone also knows that the law does not hold the public accountable.

However, the fact that the law does not hold the public accountable does not mean that the imperial court will not hold the leading bird accountable.

So for a while, no one dared to move.

"I support it."

At this time, a nobleman stood up, this person was Xiang Liang, he knew how to get into the mu, and he also knew the fate of not supporting it.
