Lin Zhen said: "This is a good way to appease the Qin people. ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "In addition, do you need to conceive of non-military merits now?" ”

Lin Zhen smiled: "One step should be counted as at least ten steps to avoid detours as much as possible." Zheng'er, let me test you, what do you need most after unifying the world? ”

Ying Xiaozheng said with a straight face: "Recuperate." ”

Lin Zhen said: "Yes, it is four words, rest, recuperation, life, and rest." It boils down to increasing the number of commoners who can pay taxes and take on conscription for the Qin state. Fifteen percent, this recuperation must last for at least fifteen years, so that the new generation of common people can replace the old common people of the six countries. ”

Lin Zhen spread out the new field law he had written on the table, and Ying Xiaozheng leaned over his fluffy head.

In order to keep his hair, Ying Xiaozheng first shaved his hair, and now a layer of cyan hair stubble has just emerged on his round head.

Lin Zhen immediately started rubbing it. Not to mention, it feels so good in the hand, it's like rubbing a puppy.

It's a pity that Ying Xiaozheng is not a puppy, but a wolf cub, and immediately showed his teeth and claws to Lin Zhen. Lin Yi immediately withdrew his hand to avoid being scratched and bitten.

"When I become the king of Qin, Uncle Lin, if you dare to touch my head, I will punish you to go to the border!" Ying Xiaozheng threatened.

Lin Zhen smiled and said: "When you become the king of Qin, your hair has already been tied up, so I won't touch it, it doesn't feel good." ”

Ying Xiaozheng wants to send Lin Zhen to the border now.

Lin Zhen teases people and always accepts it when he sees it, and seamlessly switches to the mode of talking about business.

"In order to breed people, the Qin State ordered a family with many sons to be separated, otherwise they would be punished." Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Punishment is not as good as driving it with profit, if there is a lot of wasteland and few people today, why not divide the land with people?" ”

Lin Zhen's Xintian law is similar to the Juntian system between the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Sui and Tang dynasties.

During the Three Kingdoms, the population of the world plummeted, and the wasteland was covered with no one to cultivate. In order to cope with the situation of few people and many wastelands, the ruler implemented the equalization system, dividing the fields among women, slaves, and even ploughing cattle, and dividing the land into forced labor.

Although this gave the common people land, the forced labor was also very heavy.

Lin Zhen's Xintian law did not divide the fields between slaves and ploughing oxen, but only men and women. The female family is divided into half of the male land, and the annual service time is also half that of the male child.

In order to encourage women to give birth, except for the pregnant women who were originally in feudal times, they did not accept forced labor. Regardless of gender, as long as one son survives, a woman is exempt from forced labor for five years when she has another child.

Lin Zhen originally wanted to give some rewards, but after calculating the speed of population growth after the world was decided, he was stingy.

The Qin State was burdened with forced labor, and often served long distances, and the cost of the passage alone could crush a few commoners. Exempt women from forced labor for five years, which is enough for the common people to actively give birth.

Xintian Law is still essentially cutting leeks, but let the leeks grow first. If it costs too much to raise leeks, which exceeds the value of leek growth, this field law is a failure.

Lin Zhen calculated accurately.

"What about the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms?" Ying Xiaozheng asked, "I don't want them to control the place. ”

Lin Zhen said: "If you obey the Qin State, verify the land they have now, move them to uncultivated places, and replenish the barren land to them in full." This is what the Chu State Wu Qi changed the law to do. He can do this with the old nobles of the Chu State who have never made mistakes, and the non-Qin nobles who are subject to the Qin State will not have an opinion on it. ”

No matter how much land there is, make up the wasteland in equal amounts, and let them take their slaves and retainers to reclaim the wasteland? Ying Xiaozheng's brows trembled.

Uncle Lin really repairs Laozhuang? Is he really not a descendant of the Legalists? Does Uncle Lin still want to tell him that he once obtained the scrolls of Wu Qi and Shang Ying, so he studied himself as a Legalist and became a talent, and he also became a family heir?

"Not bad." Ying Xiaozheng nodded, "Very good." ”

Lin Zhen said: "You have to find a good excuse, but you can't move directly." This kind of thing is left to the Confucian disciples. ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "Xun Weng will be angry. ”

Lin Zhen said helplessly: "Who told you to find Xunzi?" Aren't Li Si and Han Fei Confucian disciples? ”

Ying Xiaozheng: "......"

Oh, the Confucian disciples in Uncle Lin's mouth mean Confucian disciples.

"Okay." Ying Xiaozheng said, "Then what if the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms do not obey the rule of Qin? ”

Lin Zhen gave Ying Xiaozheng a "you stupid" look: "Zheng'er, if you don't obey the Qin State, you are the enemy of the Qin State and a criminal." Do what you have to do. Even if you want to give amnesty to the world, you have to punish it first. ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "Punish and confiscate family property and directly kill the border?" ”

Lin Zhen said: "You see that the Great Wall of Qin, Zhao, and Yan are all on the same line, in order to resist the Hu people going south, shouldn't they be connected?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng: "......" Although the big Ying Zheng in the dream really built the Great Wall, it was strange for these words to come out of Uncle Lin's mouth.

Lin Zhen said: "If you can't bear it, you see that the land of Baiyue is so good, full of wild grass and wild trees, you can let them move to the land of Baiyue and help Baiyue return to the Central Plains." ”

Ying Xiaozheng: "...... Well. ”

Uncle Lin, you came up with such an idea, aren't you afraid of being assassinated in the future?

Well, even if you don't have this idea, it is estimated that the group of people around you will be unable to avoid being assassinated.

"I'll make a good excuse." Ying Xiaozheng said: "Li Si and Han Fei have neglected to read the Confucian scriptures recently, so they should be allowed to review their homework more." ”

Lin Zhen said: "Young people just like the new and hate the old, they don't like to follow the teachings of their elders, they always think they are smarter, and they prefer to deviate from the norm." As everyone knows, sages are sages after all, and only when the principles in the sages' books are thoroughly studied can they follow their own path. ”

Lin Zhen shook his head and sighed, looking distressed.

Ying Xiaozheng wanted to speak and stopped.

He believed that if the sages in Uncle Lin's mouth heard this, they might not be moved.

Ying Xiaozheng continued to read Tian Lu written by Lin Zhen, especially the part that Tian Lu did not have in his dreams now.

For example, when a woman is married, if she is in the village, the field is in harmony with her husband's family; If you marry in a foreign country, the land can be leased out and not in harmony with the husband's family. In either case, when a woman is divorced, she can ask the government to bring back her own land.

Ying Xiaozheng said: "In order to prevent trouble, I am afraid that men and women are more inclined to their own village and neighboring villages." ”

Lin Zhen said: "It is to let them tend to their own village and reduce the trouble of officials counting the population." ”

Ying Xiaozheng nodded, and asked again: "Implement the matter of inheriting the land by military households and widows, which has almost become a practice now?" Can you inherit even if you have no children and no daughters? I am afraid that this will arouse the disgust of some people. ”

Lin Zhen said: "The dead have no value, and only the living can pay taxes and serve the Qin State." Military households who are widowed in the fields and serve in the fields can still give birth to children, so they should be appeased. However, in order to let the soldiers go to the battlefield with peace of mind, as long as it is stipulated that if the military family has no children and wants to inherit the land, they can only recruit money, and cannot go out of the household registration of their ex-husbands. ”

Ying Xiaozheng asked: "Then if you marry your son-in-law, can the children you give birth to inherit your ex-husband's land?" ”

Lin Zhen smiled: "Of course not. The fields awarded by low-ranking military titles will be inherited for at most one generation even if they die in battle. If she has children with her ex-husband, she will inherit them from her ex-husband's children, so as to prevent abuse of her ex-husband's children when she has a new love; If not, when she dies, this part of the land will be returned to the government. However, even if she and her son-in-law's children could not inherit the land, the income from the land while they were alive was enough to make them popular. ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "So that the widow can naturally remarry?" ”

Lin Zhen nodded.

Ying Xiaozheng is not as resistant to the remarriage of the widow and the matter of the son-in-law as he was in the dream.

Ying Xiaozheng, who has completely given up on his biological mother, can look at this matter with pure interests.

In order to be a widow, the widow must remarry. But encouraging these widows whose husbands died on the battlefield to remarry would lower the morale of the soldiers.

Therefore, in the name of rewarding the soldiers' families, so that the military widows can enjoy more land while they are alive, even if they are not encouraged, it will become easier for them to recruit sons-in-law, and they tend to remarry.

If they don't recruit sons-in-law, there are not enough men in the family, and they can't keep so many fields.

"If a soldier dies in battle, he still has his parents, and his parents in the field also have a share. In order to protect the dignity of the people, the parents' share can be given to the parents, so as to support the parents instead of the soldiers who died in the war. Women no longer marry or recruit sons-in-law, and are willing to support their parents, even if their parents have other children, but the military widow should also get their fair share. Similarly, the land of the adoptive parents cannot be inherited by others. After the death of his parents, he returned directly to the government. ”

Behind all of Lin Zhen's Xintian laws, there are naked interests, not pity for anyone.

He stipulates that parents who have other children who have died in war must be unwilling. But again, young widows can pay more taxes, take on more forced labor, and have more children.

It's just that these fields must be packaged in the warmth of the veins, so that the soldiers who are fighting to the death on the battlefield will not reduce their morale.

All this, as long as it is said that it is to protect the bloodline of the soldiers left at home.

If this is not done, the women will be evicted from the house without children, and the property will be given to the brothers by their parents, and when the soldiers go to war, the young sons and daughters who remain at home will likely meet with them in order to take away the family property.

You see, when you say this, isn't it warm?

After Lin Zhen nodded Ying Xiaozheng, Ying Xiaozheng's expression was a little numb.

He thought that Uncle Lin was still very suitable to be Xiangguo, maybe even more suitable than Li Si.

Li Si will only come directly. Looking at how powerful Uncle Lin's hand is, it's really impossible to think of how to crack it.

"Try it in Wu County first." Ying Xiaozheng said a word, "I'll handle this matter." ”

Lin Zhen said: "Really not in my name? ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "If it is in the name of Uncle Lin now, I am afraid that Uncle Lin will not be able to succeed me as the king of Qin, and he will be assassinated." ”

Lin Zhen laughed: "It's okay, Xia Tong will protect me." ”

Ying Xiaozheng said in his heart, I only trust myself.

Even if it is a father who is already close, Ying Xiaozheng will not believe it completely. People change, and Father's ability may not be able to keep Uncle Lin.

He was surrounded by these elders. He became the king of Qin, and the people around him who loved him would always enjoy wealth and glory like himself.

"I've made up my mind." Ying Xiaozheng said, "I am the county guard of Wu County, so naturally I should implement the law of Tian in Wu County." ”

"Since you said so, then don't worry. If you have trouble, I'll help you again. Lin Zhen is also semi-free-range to Ying Xiaozheng, and I believe that this little boy who is preparing to grow his hair can do things that many adults can't do.

"I'll go to Chu to have a look." Lin Zhen said, "I look like a businessman, right?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng was helpless: "Uncle, you always say that your uncle runs around and likes to go deep into danger." Don't you do the same? You are the prime minister of Qin, it is enough to have Lü Buwei to do business, why do you have to go in person? ”

Lin Zhen smiled: "There are some things that you have to see with your own eyes to decide." Don't worry, my force is much stronger than Zhu Xiang. What's more, there is still Lu Buwei here. ”

Ying Xiaozheng sighed deeply and said, "Even if I don't want to, can I stop it?" Alas, I cannot issue an edict ordering you not to go. ”

Lin Zhen joked: "So I'm going to do everything I want to do while you can't issue an edict yet." Your uncle must have thought the same. ”

Ying Xiaozheng touched his head, a little depressed.

Why do you grow so slowly?

"Isn't Father coming? When Father comes, I will definitely tell Father that when he becomes the King of Qin, he can't be like Father who connived at you, and the edict that should be issued must be issued. Ying Xiaozheng complained, "You guys should pay attention to safety." ”

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, you can rest assured." ”

Speaking of which, why hasn't Xia Tong moved yet? Could it be that the body is too weak, seasick and seasick, and collapsed on the road?

……

"Xia Tong...... What's wrong? "Zhu Xiang was in Qianzhong County and was the first to learn the news of Zichu.

He asked Li Erlang, who came to deliver the letter, in disbelief: "Xia Tong is seriously injured?!" ”

Li Erlang blinked and said, "The king said that the prince was seriously injured. ”

Zhu Xiang slowed down and said, "What did the king say? ”

Li Erlang nodded.

Zhu Xiang calmed down and asked, "Did the king ask me to take Zheng'er back to Xianyang immediately?" ”

Li Erlang said: "The king asked Changping Jun and Gongzi Zheng to stay in Nanqin with peace of mind, what to do." ”
