Qin Ying's face was soothing: "Then tell me, what is the fourth step?" ”

Qin Yun said: "The fourth step lies in the people!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, why did they go back again?

"What's the explanation?"

Qin Yun took a deep breath and said, "Thirty taxes and one tax in Northern Qi and one tax in Great Xia, how would ordinary people choose?" ”

"I remember that a border general once said that some of the people of Bian Zhou would forcibly cross the border north to beg for a living, which is actually a very serious matter."

The eldest prince Qin Tian snorted coldly: "Taxation is the foundation of my Great Xia!" Northern Qi has thirty taxes and one one, that's because they are mostly nomadic herders, and they don't need to raise a huge army at all, and my Great Xia has to guard against the Northern Qi Dynasty, but also against the Eastern Junyi people and the countries of the Western Regions. ”

"Without these taxes, how can you feed the army?"

Qin Yun said: "That's what I'm talking about the people!" When the Northern Qi entered the customs and went all the way south, the ordinary people actually did not have much resistance at all, after all, they did not have much money to be plundered. ”

"On the contrary, those high-ranking families have accumulated an unknown amount of grain and grass on weekdays, and they would rather rot in the warehouse and let the people along the way starve to death than open a warehouse for the people!"

"And the Northern Qi Dynasty has come out with the guidance of a master, not only will the other party not disturb the people, but will divide the grain to coerce the homeless, and those homeless people are even willing to charge into battle for their pawns for a bite to eat!"

At this time, a Confucian official spoke: "This is what you call the people!" These people don't know the grace of the country, they have no integrity, no matter how much food they give them, they will bite back, and those who have been beneficials since ancient times will not be affected by the backlash! ”

Qin Yun shook his head: "The identity of the family and the country is not about how the great Confucian sages wrote, for the common people, what they care about is who makes them have enough to eat." ”

"The Northern Qi Dynasty is no longer the barbarians in your mouth, they speak the Central Plains dialect, wear the clothes of the Central Plains, and even learn to worship the sages of the Central Plains, and there are Confucian scholars in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but their Confucian students walk in the fields and educate the people."

The Confucian official flicked his sleeves: "Bastard, the scholars are not with the people, these people have tarnished the spirit of Confucianism!" You are clearly belittling my Great Xia Rulin. ”

Qin Yun didn't bother to argue with him.

He went on to say: "Today, what this king is talking about does not involve specific Confucianism and Taoism disputes, but only methods! ”

"Through a series of changes, the national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty has flourished, and it has gathered people's hearts everywhere, and the battle more than 20 years ago was actually unjustly defeated."

Qin Ying said: "What is your method?" ”

Qin Yun: "This method is called the Tuntian system. The imperial court paid money to buy the land of the wealthy families, and then leased the land to the people, and the people only paid a small amount of taxes for farming, and the land was given to the people free of charge after three generations of cultivation, but it was not allowed to be sold privately, and it was only allowed to be sold to the imperial court. ”

"These people participate in military training during the slack season, and become peasant soldiers in wartime!"

"In this way, the entire northern line of defense was to keep only a small number of full-time troops on guard against the enemy. And the people will not be affected by miscellaneous taxes, and because it is their own land, they will strive to defend it. At that time, instead of having to invest a large amount of silver in the north every year to purchase military funds, Great Xia could also extract a lot of tax money from it to make up for the deficit of the imperial court. ”

"Tuntian system?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly became enlightened, and even the eldest prince and the fourth prince, who had always been opposed, closed their mouths at this moment.

Although what Qin Yun said is very idealistic, if it is really implemented, the worries of the northern border will be resolved overnight.

If this was the case, Qin Ying would not have had to let people embezzle the money of the berm back then.

Qin Ying looked at Qin Yun, but felt that the more he looked at these nine sons, the more pleasing they became.

"Yes, these four steps of yours are the best strategy in every way! It's a pity that you were born twenty years less. ”

"Qin Yun, about the Tuntian system, you write an excerpt, be sure to write the details clearly, I have to study it carefully, if this system can be implemented in the border state, you Qin Yun deserve first-class heavenly merit!"

Qin Yun arched his hand: "Father Xie!" ”

Qin Ying laughed: "You don't have to thank me, you are all ministers of Great Xia, if it is conducive to Great Xia's strategy, I will reward you!" ”

Qin Yun arched his hand: "Father, I don't know if these four steps can convince my father and the lords." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone remembered that Qin Yun had said before that if his strategy was better than Qin's, then now he would have to promise him a condition.

You have no jokes, let alone in front of the ministers!

A fine light flashed in Qin Ying's eyes, the eldest prince, the second prince, and the fourth prince hated it at the moment.

"Tell me, what are your conditions?"

Qin Yun took a step back and bowed very formally.

"The son of the emperor implores his father to set up a monument to Yingjie, which is engraved with the name of the souls of the people of Luochuan and the names of the innocent people in the Northern Qi Rebellion!"

"Let the people of the world know that the people of Luochuan suffered this flood for the great summer, and their sacrifice was exchanged for twenty years of peace."

"Let the people of the world, civil and military officials, and the kings of future generations remember the shame of the past!"

"The country is not always strong, but it should have perseverance!"

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were moved.

Throughout the ages, there has never been a monument for the people!

Qin Yun, this is going to be a precedent in Great Xia!

Some people wanted to object, but when the words came to their mouths, they swallowed back, and the 300,000 souls of Luochuan were just like what Chen Shutong said in his letter, those officials who participated in this matter back then, who had every diaphragm in their hearts.

Even today's saints are afraid that they can't sleep at night!

Qin Ying's heart moved, he thought that Qin Yun would use this to benefit himself, the prince, the reward, and even the position of the prince?

But he didn't expect that Qin Yun made such a big detour, and it was actually for the people!

No, to be precise, it was also him!

After so many years, as a big summer son, he has never regretted it, but as he said, if you want the country, you still have to take care of the people of Luochuan?

At that time, he had no choice, but now he not only has a better choice, but also untied the knot in his heart.

He asked Qin Yun to investigate Liu Shiqi's death, didn't he want to find a knife to personally cut off the knot in his heart in this lifetime.

Of course, he can also admit his mistakes.

But he is the emperor, everyone can be wrong, but he can't!

Call! ~

Qin Ying breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Qin Yun with deep eyes, and said heavily: "Qin Yun, you really impress me!" ”

The corners of Qin Yun's mouth raised lightly: "Your Majesty, are you willing to allow it?" ”

Qin Ying waved his hand: "Order the Ministry of Works, erect a monument to Yingjie in Luochuan, the capital of Jiangdu!" On the day of the erection of the monument, I came to the scene in person. ”

At this time, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu stood up.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that this monument will cost the people and money, and I don't know how long it will take to transport such a large boulder to Luochuan!"

As soon as these words came out, the eldest prince Qin Tian stood up again.

"Yes, father, how can we erect a monument for the sake of the people?"

The fourth prince, Qin Chen, naturally didn't want such a credit to fall into Qin Yun's hands, if this inscription was established, Qin Yun's prestige would be higher!

When the time comes, it is not certain who will be the prince.

This monument must not be erected by him!

But at this time, Qin Yun smiled and said, "Father, the matter of erecting a monument was mentioned by his son!" Naturally, it will be up to the sons and daughters. ”

"Oh, how many men do you want, how many hours?"

Qin Yun smiled: "Erchen only needs three months to complete!" As for the men and horses, please ask your father to send 300 craftsmen, plus the staff of the Ministry of Officials to the sons and ministers. ”

"Silver, materials?"

Qin Yun arched his hand and said: "Naturally, it is to collect donations from the ministers, the ministers were not greedy back then, but they really harmed the people of Luochuan, Jiangdu, don't you have this money?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang An stood up.

"The minister is willing to donate 5,000 taels of silver!"

The second prince also stood up: "Erchen is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver, but I beg to give Lord Chen an independent inscription!" ”

Qin Ying smiled: "I also give 50,000 taels, you Aiqing, do what you can!" ”

The ministers have a deep heart in their hearts, so they can do what they can, why does this sound so harsh!
