Three days passed quickly.

Today is the time when Fusu agreed with the courtiers to give advice.

Yonggong side hall.

Li Si and other important ministers of the imperial court had already arrived.

Fusu also appeared in the side hall soon, he glanced at the courtiers, and did not want to mention anything else, and said directly: "The time is almost up, may I ask the ministers, can you think of a corresponding solution?" ”

There was silence in the temple.

No one would speak out.

Fusu frowned, and said with a smile: "You important ministers can speak freely, no matter what the solution is, Fusu wants to hear it, if there is really a feasible strategy, Fusu will personally ask for credit from his father for you." ”

It was quiet a little bit.

Du He stood up and arched his hand: "Your Highness, the minister is in charge of the Shaofu, and he has some understanding of the situation of the imperial court. ”

"Let go of the forbidden land!"

Hear the words.

Fusu raised his eyebrows.

He gave Duch a deep look.

The forbidden land and some mountains, rivers and lakes are all exclusive to the Great Qin royal family.

It's up to him to decide.

And even if he dares to nod, Zong Zheng probably won't agree, and his father probably won't agree.

Fu Su shook his head and said: "The Great Qin Sect does have a lot of mountains, rivers and lakes, and there are forbidden places all over the country, but most of these places have their own uses, compared to the merits of millions of soldiers, even if the clan is willing to take out some of them, it may be difficult to solve the merits of millions of soldiers." ”

"In addition."

"The matter of the forbidden land is a matter within the sect, and it will not be discussed."

Fusu directly blocked this opening.

He can't be the master.

The courtiers can't be allowed to make a big fuss about this.

Looked at.

Duch looked embarrassed.

Finally, after hesitating for a while, he stopped talking, and then sat back down.

No more silence.

Fusu looked at the other courtiers and said dissatisfiedly: "Besides, don't you have any other solution?" What else can you do? ”

Yao Jia glanced at Du He a few times, and then got up directly and said: "Your Royal Highness, the minister is a pawn, and the main director is dealing with the nomads in the border areas, so I don't know much about the specific situation, but as far as the minister knows, the imperial court has actually had a countermeasure in the past, and it is also very appropriate." ”

"It's the migration of people from Guanzhong and Kanto."

"Or relocate some of the meritorious households to the northern part of the South China Sea."

"Maybe it can solve a temporary worry."

"Your Highness, please."

Hearing Yao Jia's words, Fusu's face sank.

What Yao Jia said was all nonsense, if it was really useful to move the population, how could he do more? Yao Jia Duhe and the others knew this, but they deliberately said these methods, for fear that they would prevaricate themselves so that they could get out of this matter.

Fusu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

He said coldly: "The pawn may not know that the migration of the imperial court in the past is not smooth, not only the people of Kanto will flee, but even the people of Guanzhong will flee, this move is not popular, in the past few years, it has not only cost the people and money, but also made the people everywhere complain about the imperial court." ”

"If we continue to implement this policy, we may cause a lot of uproar."

"It's hard to enforce this policy anymore."

"And even if the imperial court wants to continue to carry it out, can local officials and local people still withstand this toss?"

"Can the world still withstand this toss?"

"It's hard to move to your homeland!"

Yao Jia said in a deep voice: "Why doesn't the minister know about this? ”

"But at the moment, if you want to quickly solve the merit reward of the soldier's field, only this method has the best effect and the most immediate effect, or the minister is shallow and can't think of any other solution, please forgive me."

Yao Jia looked ashamed, and then hurriedly sat down.

I didn't dare to look up and look at Fusu.

As Du He and Yao Jia's suggestions were rejected by Fusu, the hall fell silent.

Fusu didn't urge anymore at this time, but his eyes swept over the other courtiers from time to time, as if he was expecting good advice from other courtiers.

Slightly.

Finally someone stood up again.

Shi Lu looked solemn and said: "Your Royal Highness, the matter of Tian Zhai's meritorious reward is related to millions of Qiantou, which is not trivial, so it must not be easily changed, the minister used to be the supervisor of Lingqu in the past, and he has an understanding of the local situation. ”

"In Chen's view, this matter can only be alleviated."

"The root is in the military merit."

Fusu's eyes lit up, he looked at Shi Lu curiously, and asked, "Can Ting Wei elaborate on one or two?" ”

Shi Lu said: "The Tianzhai Imperial Court can't give it, and there is no way to cash it out, in fact, as long as you have a little knowledge, you can see it, so the imperial court can only make up for it from other aspects as much as possible." ”

"Under the military merit system of Shang Jun, if future generations want to inherit the title, they need to be demoted to one level."

"The minister thinks that if the imperial court really wants to solve it, it can promise that the head of the Qian, who has not fulfilled the reward, does not need to be demoted within five generations of title inheritance, and the title inheritance will begin to return to normal after five generations."

"Or."

"The heads of the Qian, who have titles such as the top and the hairpins, can get the preferential treatment of the higher-level titles such as 'no more', and then make the heads of the Qians satisfied with this from the aspect of false rewards."

Fusu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there any drawbacks to this method?" ”

Shi Lu nodded and said: "The disadvantages are obvious, there is indeed no need to demote the knighthood within five generations, but it can be promoted, which also means that in the next hundred years, even if less than one in one thousand of these millions of people can be promoted, it will be a large amount, and the burden on the court will also be greatly increased." ”

"It's even enough to bring down the imperial court."

"And it also means that the knighthood system will fall into chaos in a hundred years."

"The impact is too great."

"I really don't dare to think about it."

"Through these two methods, in a hundred years, I am afraid that many people will be able to raise their titles to no more, and then the number of people serving in the world will be greatly reduced, which will invisibly increase the burden on the court, so the minister only dared to put forward it, and did not dare to make substantive suggestions."

"Your Highness, please."

Fu Su bowed his head.

He looked at Shi Lu approvingly.

Shi Lu's idea is very crazy, it is completely to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, in order to solve the merit reward of the Tian Zhai, so as to plunge the entire military merit system into chaos, this chaos is also full of uncertainty, which will not only increase the burden of the imperial court, but also cause great turmoil in the world.

This idea will not be adopted.

The imperial court really didn't dare to gamble with the fate of the empire.

But it is not easy for Shi Lu to put forward some points of view that are different from others.

He doesn't blame.

And he also knew that if there was really a way to do both, someone would have proposed it before, and if he wanted to solve the problem of the farmhouse, he was destined to sacrifice the interests of some people.

The courtiers wanted to sacrifice the interests of the clan, or the interests of the lower classes.

It is really difficult for them to give up their own interests, and they will never open this mouth easily, and they will not even mention it to themselves and others.

Fusu saw the door clear in his heart.

Then.

Feng Qujian said: "The ministers have a different opinion, the situation in Guanzhong, the sergeant of the army has long understood, so it is really difficult for the imperial court to continue to distribute the field house, this point, they are very clear in their hearts, and compared to the field house, they are more concerned about their own livelihood and life at the moment." ”

"The minister thought that it might be possible to exempt the conscription tax and reduce the land rent levied by the local government, so as to save the morale of the soldiers."

"But this move may greatly reduce the imperial court's fiscal revenue."

"Therefore, the minister also suggested that the six places in the Kanto region should be taxed, taxed, and rented."

"To offset the defects in the guanzhong."

"After all, Kanto is a defeated place, and it is natural that high taxes and high rents should be levied, and as His Royal Highness said before, Guanzhong is the foundation of Great Qin, and only by consolidating Guanzhong can Great Qin be invincible."

"Therefore, it is very desirable to damage the eastern part of the country and benefit the central part of the country, in the eyes of the minister."

"Your Highness, why?"

Fusu pondered for a moment and shook his head again.

He said in a condensed voice: "The Kanto region has not yet gathered, and the old aristocracy is seriously chaotic, if it continues to levy a high amount of land rent, I am afraid that the Kanto will be more detached from the imperial court, and then it will not be helping the old nobles of the Kanto?" ”

"If you really do this, I'm afraid it won't take a few years, and the Kanto region will be in chaos."

"It's not right."

Hear the words.

Feng Quji sighed lightly and said no more.

Since then, other officials have expressed their views.

Among them, there are also those who propose to allow the free buying and selling of fields, and they say that if the imperial court allows the fields to be bought and sold freely, the fields will have a price, and then the court will send the full amount of money and grain to the chiefs, so as to cash in the arrears to the soldiers.

And so on, it is recommended to refute the contradictions.

After listening to them all, Fusu's heart was also full of disappointment.

The courtiers gave a variety of suggestions, but most of them had no merit, either the negative impact was greater, or they completely demolished the east wall and made up the west wall, which could not be used at all.

Fusu is also very tired.

These courtiers were all the founding heroes of Great Qin.

The various major policies of Great Qin also came from the hands of these courtiers, but the people who had always been far-sighted and far-sighted suddenly stopped when they mentioned the merits of the Tian Zhai, and they became mediocre or even mediocre one by one.

Long.

After the surroundings quieted down, Fusu suddenly asked: "If the suggestions you put forward are put on you, or if you are those leaders right now, will you agree to wait for your own proposal?" ”

The words fell, and the four fell into a dead silence.

No one answered.

Everyone was silent for a long time.

Ask yourself, if you were one of those leaders, would you accept these choices?

No!

They answered very neatly in their hearts.

No matter how powerful those things are, no matter how fanciful they are, their value is far less than that of the actual farmhouse.

The field house is the real thing.

Otherwise, when Wang Jian was attacking Chu, why did he deliberately ask His Majesty for a large number of fields? Isn't it because these farms are the most practical? It is also the most intuitive and realistic, and it is also the most able to shadow future generations.

Others are also worthy of comparison with the field house?

They know this truth in their hearts, but they can't say it directly.

Fusu looked at it coldly and said indifferently: "Why are you silent? Don't you agree with your own proposal? If you can't convince yourself, how can you convince the more snobbish and realistic Qiantou? ”

"You've let me down!"

Hearing Fusu's words, everyone couldn't help but hang their heads.

Long.

Du He opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, it's not that we don't have intentions, it's not that we can't think of a way, but there is really no good way, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, Your Majesty summoned the ministers to discuss, but after discussing for a few days and nights, in the end we could only compromise and choose a way to move each other." ”

"There's really nothing we can do."

"Although it has been nine years since the last discussion, His Highness has asked me to wait for a few days to come up with a new solution, which is really difficult for some strong people, and it is not because the ministers are unwilling, but it is really beyond my strength."

"Your Highness, please, calm your anger."

Duch and the others apologized in unison.

Duch is telling the truth, they haven't thought of a way, they really can't think of a solution, if they can really come up with a solution, how can they keep it hidden? It has long been dedicated to His Majesty.

Hear the words.

Fusu was noncommittal.

He said coldly, "I have a different opinion on this. ”

"You really can't think of a way?"

"I don't think so."

"I think you figured it out, but you just didn't want to think about it, or you didn't want to think about it."

"In the past, you scolded Fang Xuan in the court and pointed out the country, how high-spirited you were, and how calm and comfortable you were when deciding on various major policies, why are you helpless now?"

"You really don't have the ability?!"

"I don't believe it."

Fusu's eyes swept towards the audience, and everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Fu Su sneered and continued: "Those suggestions of yours can't even convince yourself, how can you convince the millions of Qianshou households at the bottom? Although I didn't have enough knowledge in Fusu, in the past year, I have also been to places, and even to the barracks of the Beiyuan army, I have some understanding of the situation in the army, and I have also spent time to inquire about the real needs of the low-level leaders and sergeants of the army. ”

"The problem of farmland is indeed thorny, but it is not unsolvable."

"As long as you are really willing to put your mind to it, there will definitely be a solution, but over the years you have begun to settle for the status quo and are unwilling to do things that may harm your own interests."

"Ask yourself if you've changed."

Quiet all around.

No one responded to this.

After a long time, someone said: "I just heard His Highness's words, His Highness has a plan in his heart?" ”

Fusu didn't deny it, nor did he admit it, but just said lightly: "The method is thought up by people, as long as you can find the right crux of the problem, it is not impossible to achieve the right medicine, Tian Zhai is indeed very important to Qianshou, but it may not be really irreplaceable." ”

Everyone bowed in unison and said in a loud voice: "Please make it clear to Your Highness." ”

Fusu looked deeply at the courtiers below, and finally decided to say those suggestions.

"I do have some ideas, but I don't know if they are feasible or not, but compared to your suggestions, I think the policies I mentioned may be more feasible and more acceptable," he said. ”

"So I would like to ask you to give us your views accordingly."
