Chapter 143: Deep Meaning

The reason why the Tuntian system pioneered by Cao Wei was powerless and could not be implemented in the later period was because the taxes were too heavy and the exploitation was too much, which triggered a large number of Tuntian people to flee and resist!

Heavy tax exploitation, which may be barely able to survive in times of war, is absolutely unsustainable in times of peace!

The importance of the superiors in the Warring States Period to the ordinary people will never be better than that of the rulers of the Three Kingdoms period, so Lu Yunzhou's words need to be explained in advance.

Tian Dan was stunned, he didn't expect that Lu Yunzhou, as a noble son from the most prominent four major families in Qi State, was not like other princes and grandsons, at most, when he needed the support of the people, he would make a gesture of buying people's hearts. On the contrary, he really cares about the common people from the bottom of his heart. However, after thinking about it carefully, when Tiandan was not a career back then, he also served as a low-level official in the Linzi management market, and he also knew the situation of the people at the bottom very well.

Tian Dan bowed slightly, and said solemnly: "This is reasonable, I will instruct to go down, let the big Si Tian people formulate a reasonable tax, and continue to pay close attention to this!"

Tian Dan cooperated so much, but Lu Yunzhou was really happy in his heart, and after smiling and praising him, Lu Yunzhou said: "Second, it is also because my Qi country has vast mountains and rivers, vast land and sparsely populated, rather than spending time and effort, and labor-intensive to collect taxes by measuring land, it is better to let the people of Tuntian play freely, and the government only needs to collect taxes based on the number of cattle, so that it does not divide the boundaries of Qianmo fields, and can also encourage the production enthusiasm of the people of Tuntian!" If the homeless people have no cattle, the government can rent out the official cattle, and the tax can be collected as long as it is a little higher than the private cattle, but it still can't be too high!"

This is Lu Yunzhou's memory of some details of the tuntian system when he was practicing the "Heart Washing Sutra" this morning, when Cao Cao ruled and pioneered the tuntian system, he faced a similar situation, with a lot of land and few people, so he simply collected taxes based on the number of ploughing cattle and improved efficiency.

"Well, this strategy is very good, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources!" Tian Dan nodded again and again, savoring it carefully, appreciating it, and looking at Lu Yunzhou's gaze, he already had some meaning of seeing the treasure.

Lu Yunzhou's face was light, but he began to snicker in his heart, he put forward a series of suggestions in front of him, which paved the atmosphere very well, presumably the rhetoric behind would also make Tiandan more acceptable.

Lu Yunzhou was about to bring up the matter that he had been planning for a long time, but when he heard Tian Dan suddenly laugh, he said: "Qi Yu, your father's meaning has always been very clear, and he hopes that you will take over his class in the future, right?"

Lu Yunzhou didn't expect Tian Dan to suddenly divert the topic, talk about this matter, think about it for a while, and then replied: "My father has indeed been cultivating me in the direction of diplomacy. ”

This is a vague admission.

Tian Dan was not surprised, the pair of wise eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, looked directly into Lu Yunzhou's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What about your own thoughts?"

Lu Yunzhou was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but bow his head and think about it.

The Qin State did not have much time left for him, he wanted to completely transform the Qi State, so that the Qi State would become a powerful country that could rival the Qin State within thirty years, and there was only one position that was the most convenient, and that was to become the Prime Minister of the Qi State!

Li Kui, Wu Qi, Shen Buxian, Shang Ying, these bigwigs who have left a great name in the history of the Qing Dynasty can successfully lead the country to change the law and become stronger, the premise is that they first became the head of the country's hundred officials - the prime minister!

But in today's Qi country, Tian Dan is in the prime of life, and the power and prestige of Qi can be said to cover the sky with one hand, and even the king of Qi can't help him at all, and everyone in the world only knows that there is a field and does not know that there is a king of Qi! The Qi family where Lu Yunzhou is located is also very tabooed by the people in power in the Qi country, and when Tian Dan is now in power, it is almost an impossible task to replace him.

As a person of later generations, Lu Yunzhou's strength only lies in his insight beyond the times, rather than fighting for power and profit, and conspiring and calculating. In fact, compared with these old foxes in officialdom who have been immersed in the power dye vat for many years, Lu Yunzhou, a student who has not yet come out of the ivory tower in the future, is not even a rookie in front of them.

Since Lu Yunzhou set the goal of helping the rise of Qi State, he has seriously thought about his situation and choices during this time, and after thinking about it, if he still wants to complete the goal in his heart, there is only one choice - to form an alliance with Tiandan!

Since there is no way to replace it, the only way to do it is to use his power to realize the idea in Lu Yunzhou's heart!

And Tian Dan's happy acceptance of the Tuntian system, and his urgent attitude to immediately rush to the north to start implementing it, also made Lu Yunzhou understand the thoughts of the ruler of Qi - Tian Dan's heart is also very eager to make Qi country strong!

Even to a certain extent, Lu Yunzhou's goal is actually the same as Tian Dan!

This made Lu Yunzhou even more sure of his choice!

If you can't be the thickest thigh, and you still want to achieve your ambitions, then go for the thickest thighs!

Tian Dan is the uncrowned king of Qi State, if Tian Dan can wholeheartedly support Lu Yunzhou's reform of the law, then what is the difference between Wei Wenhou fully supporting Li Kui's reform, King Chu Mourning fully supporting Wu Qi's reform, Han Zhaohou fully supporting Shen Buxiao's reform, and Qin Xiaogong fully supporting Shang Ying's reform?

And Tian Dan's current recognition and adoption of Lu Yunzhou's suggestions is a very good signal!

If Lu Yunzhou is allowed to choose by himself, then at present, the best arrangement for him is, of course, to become Tian Dan's deputy, which is the most convenient position for him to influence Tian Dan!

But Lu Yunzhou naturally knew that it was impossible to raise this directly, firstly because of their sensitive identity from Qi Jialai, and secondly, because of his relationship with Tian Dan, which was not close enough to be defenseless and honest.

Lu Yunzhou raised his head again, looked at Tian Dan, and was about to say his final answer, but he met Tian Dan's meaningful eyes, and was suddenly shocked!

Between the lightning and flint, Lu Yunzhou's mind flashed, and he suddenly understood that Tian Dan must have a deeper intention when he asked him this question!

Tian is the real ruler of the Qi Kingdom, and he has a lot of opportunities, would he really be extremely bored to ask Lu Yunzhou about his aspirations? Just like those spiritual mentors in later generations who love to ask about dreams and love to pour chicken soup?

Perhaps, but it is never, nevertheless, to suddenly ask such a simple question that has nothing to do with today's conversation!

Then there is only one explanation, the reason why Tian Dan suddenly asked this question must have its deep meaning, and it can never be as simple as it seems on the surface!

So what is the hidden meaning behind it?

At this moment, Lu Yunzhou's heart suddenly brightened!
