Chapter 957: Inadequacies

"Father. What do you mean by that? Fusu asked puzzledly, "In Erchen's opinion, today's Great Qin, let alone last for thousands of years, even if it is ten thousand years, it is easy." ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "No, you think too much." Let Qin An tell you. ”

Fusu looked at Qin An and said, "Sir, can't the current Great Qin still last for thousands of years?" ”

Qin An nodded and said: "It can be done for a thousand years, but this may already be the limit, if you want ten thousand years, it is very difficult, unless every emperor is the same as you and your father-in-law."

Otherwise, as long as there is a faint king, then the country can easily be occupied by others.

However, it can be assured that no matter how the dynasty is changed, Huaxia is still Huaxia. We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, descendants of the dragon. It's a legacy that's carved into our bones. ”

"That's a good point." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "No matter how the dynasty changes, everyone is the Chinese people, the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the descendants of the dragon." ”

Qin An smiled, and then he looked at Fusu and said, "Fusu, although the current Great Qin is very powerful and the people are very rich, there are still many problems in the imperial court.

If we continue to implement the current system, I am afraid that after a thousand years, the Great Qin will change the dynasty. ”

Fusu's face changed, and he said, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

Qin An said: "There are three major problems now, the first is the land problem. Don't look at the fact that there are a lot of wastelands in Daqin now, but in a hundred years, will the population of Daqin become billions? Did you think we had more land back then?"

"Didn't we already get the whole world at that time, isn't it enough to feed billions of people with the whole world?" Fusu said.

Qin An sighed and said, "Fusu, you're naïve to think about it. ”

Fusu was not convinced: "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

Ying Zheng looked at the modest Fusu, and was very satisfied in his heart, after he abdicated in the future, Fusu could also become a good emperor.

Qin An opened his mouth and said: "Fusu, you said that you use the land of the world to support the people of the world. This is not wrong, but what is wrong is that once the wasteland is reclaimed, then there is no land allocation for the newborn children, so what should be done?

Also, it is the group of nobles who own the most land now, and thousands of years later, new nobles will appear, and they will annex more and more land, and finally, the vast majority of the land in Daqin is noble.

If the imperial court wants to give land to the people, it may not be able to take out an acre of land.

If you can't be average, then all the people in the world will complain about you.

Maybe this complaint can't be said for a while, but as time goes by, there are more and more complaints, and the consequences are unimaginable.

This is one of the issues with the land issue, and there are others, such as land annexation.

Now, we divide the land into two types, one is that the people reclaim the wasteland and take the land for themselves. The other is the land allocated to them by the imperial court, which only has the right to plant, not the right to buy and sell.

But there are so many wastelands in the world, especially those continents that have not yet been discovered by the imperial court, they are all wastelands, and once they are exploited by the nobles, they will have more land, perhaps more than the imperial court.

Moreover, the aristocracy had money, which, combined with the countless lands, would lead them to grow in ambition and eventually establish themselves as kings.

When money, land, and people are at their peak, they will urge the ambition of others. ”

Fusu asked thoughtfully, "So sir, what are we supposed to do?" ”

Qin An replied: "Carry out land reform and take all the land into state ownership. Then make a reasonable plan.

For example, the state gives the people a few acres of land, and then exempts them from agricultural taxes, of course, these lands belong to the imperial court, not to the people.

They only have the right to plant, not the right to sell? If you don't want to farm, then you can take the money, or rent it to someone else. The land cannot be idle.

Once it is free, the village or the government can forcibly take it back.

And this brings us to another issue. ”

"What's the problem?" Fusu asked again.

"Imperial power does not go to the countryside." Qin An said, "This is a very big problem, because the policy of the imperial court did not reach the countryside in the first place.

What's more, after the imperial decree reaches the countryside, it will become a different meaning, or even be completely misinterpreted, and will be used by officials such as the village chief, security chief, and village chief to become a tool for making money. ”

"It won't be." Fusu said, "This is a big crime of the Nine Clans, how dare they?" ”

"Why not?" Qin An said, "Wealth is moving, not to mention, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, how can the imperial court know what happens in the village."

In addition, since ancient times, the people have believed that the people do not fight with the officials, so they would rather suffer losses than go to the government to sue those lieutenants and chiefs.

So the second problem is that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, this problem is not visible now, but after a long time, then this group of chiefs, chiefs, and village chiefs will have a certain amount of power and power.

They have become the local emperors in the troubled township, and when the court is weak, they may unite to overthrow the court.

Even developed his own power and became the co-ruler of the world, don't forget that Liu Bang was a mere pavilion chief, and finally established the Han Dynasty. ”

"Then sir, is there any way to send the imperial power to the countryside?" Fusu asked.

Qin An replied: "This has to involve another issue, that is, the officialdom system. ”

"Isn't the system good enough?" Fusu said, "From the original nine-secretary system to the current six-part system.

Could it be that the six-part system is not the most perfect? ”

Qin An shook his head and said: "There is no perfect system in the world, it can only be continuously improved, we have to find out where the problem is, and then solve the problem."

Nowadays, although the six-part system is perfect, it is not the most perfect, just like the imperial power does not go to the countryside, who is responsible for this?

No one can be held responsible, because once the interests of the low-level officials are touched by the imperial court, then they will rebel.

So no one can control the six parts. Only the emperor himself is in control.

In addition, the most feared thing in officialdom is corruption, which has happened in all dynasties.

And corrupt officials are actually moths of the country, and they are also one of the murderers who lead to the destruction of the country.

Therefore, in order to put an end to this, we need to set a reasonable salary and benefits for officials, and at the same time protect their future lives.

Of course, it is impossible to put an end to bribery and corruption among officials.

However, it can lead to the vast majority of officials who can abide by the law and work for the welfare of the people.

In addition, the evaluation of officials should not only assess the official's own ability, but also investigate the background of the official's family and his wife's family. ”
