Chapter 68 Agrarian Reform
King Zhuang Xiang and Zhang Kui talked for a long time in the small courtyard, and it was not until late at night that King Zhuang Xiang returned to Xianyang Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info Back in the palace, King Zhuang Xiang asked the eunuch beside him: "How credible do you think Zhang Daochang's words are?" The eunuch replied: "The slave doesn't know, but I think Zhang Daochang's words are far beyond my imagination." King Zhuang Xiang said: "Well, for more than 100 years, the Legalist system implemented by my Qin State has worked well, and no one has ever doubted its role. Be. ”
The next day, the morning pilgrimage. The ministers talked endlessly. "Xiangguo, have you heard about this?" Lu Buwei said: "Last night, I knew about it, and I also knew that Your Majesty had been talking to that demon Dao for a long time. "Your Majesty has arrived" The ministers heard the eunuch's singing, and knelt down in unison and said, "Long live my emperor, long live." King Zhuang Xiang sat on the dragon chair and said: "Zhong Aiqing is flat" and "No"
"Has Daochang Zhang been here?" "Your Majesty, Daochang Zhang is waiting outside the main hall." "Let him in. "Xuan Zhang Kui is here" Zhang Kui heard himself shouting inside, and strode inside. Lü Buwei and his ministers turned their faces together to see who was sacred, daring to slander the Legalists. I saw that the visitor was dressed in green clothes and had a gourd hanging from his waist. He is about fifty years old, six feet tall, and has a resolute face and a good look.
Zhang Kui walked in front of the hundred officials and saluted: "Poor Dao Zhang Kui has seen Your Majesty. At this time, an official stood up and said, "Weichen Chen Wen asks Your Majesty to pull this demon out and behead it." "The ministers seconded. "Zhang Kui was furious when he heard this, I recruited you to provoke you. Zhang Kui stepped forward and asked, "This lord, I don't know where I offended you, and I want to put me to death." Chen Wendao: "If you meet Your Majesty and don't make a big salute, this is a great disrespect and a capital crime." ”
Zhang Kui smiled after hearing this: "Don't say that Poor Dao is a person outside the party, even the identity of Poor Dao, and I can't kneel." Chen Wen smiled: "What is your identity as a Daoist Breaker?" Zhang Kui said angrily: "I am the Seven Killing Star Monarch canonized by the Heavenly Court, and I am ranked among the Zhou Tian Stars. Don't say it's Your Majesty, even the Three Emperors and Five Emperors can't stand my kneeling. Chen Wen was speechless, this identity means that he still has to salute him. King Zhuang Xiang pressed his hand and said, "Don't quarrel, this matter will be revealed." Now let's talk about changing some of our laws and regulations. ”
Chen Wen jumped out again and said: "Your Majesty, the laws and regulations have been proved to be the most suitable laws for our country after being implemented by our ancestors, and they must not be changed." Zhang Kui looked at Chen Wen and said, "Can you tell me, where does the current law come from?" Chen Wen smiled and said, "These three-year-old children all know that it was changed by the previous king of my dynasty according to the advice of the Legalists. Zhang Kui said: "Since the current law is also changed, why can't it be changed again to make it more perfect." ”
Chen Wen was speechless, you can't say that it is legal, you are Taoist, this is too hateful. Lü Buwei said suddenly: "I don't know which part of the long to change, how to change it?" Zhang Kui said: "My reform is mainly in the civil field, and the current law believes that "the internal affairs of the people, do not suffer from the peasants, and the affairs of the people outside the people, do not be difficult to fight."
If this method is carried out again, the slightest carelessness will cause civil unrest. As the saying goes, "water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat", we must guard against it. I am going to make the land public, that is, the land belongs to the people, and a certain amount of taxes are paid every year. In order to prevent land annexation, the common people only have the right to use, not the right to trade. Lu Buwei said: "The Taoist chief may not be too sensational, isn't it good now?" Zhang Kui said: "When a person eats and drinks unharmed, he is naturally unharmed."
But, when he is hungry, he loses his mind. Do something incomprehensible. "King Zhuang Xiang naturally knew his concerns when he saw that Lu Buwei was obstructing the change, but he was afraid that his interests would be damaged, and he didn't see his wolf ambitions. King Zhuang Xiang said: "Since Xiangguo and Dao Chang have differences, it is better to find a place to see the situation first." ”
Zhang Kui said: "Poor Dao is willing to wake up the beginning of the new regulations with the results of one place. Lu Buwei saw that the emperor said so, and if he objected to it, it would be the old birthday star who hanged himself. I had to say, "The minister agrees." After some heated discussions, the venue was selected in Anhua County, Xianyang County. A day later, a notice was posted at the entrance of the county government in Anhua County. It reads: Emperor Qin is merciful and remembers the hard work of the people, so he promulgated a new regulation, from now on, Anhua County implements the public ownership of land, and the cultivated land is distributed according to the number of people, and the people have the right to use the land, without the right to trade, and all the harvest is taxed according to one-tenth, and there is no other tax.
The people of Anhua County didn't believe it at first, but as the county government began to re-measure the land, the pavilion chief began to tell them from door to door, and everyone believed it. The people began to celebrate. After Lü Buwei returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he began to gather several elders of the court to discuss countermeasures. Lü Buwei sat on the throne and said: "You must already know that the demon Dao is in full swing in Anhua County to carry out land reform. If we do get a result, the hard work of our generations will be in vain. ”
Lord Chen said helplessly: "What can be done, Your Majesty seems to have been confused by that demon Dao, and now he is obedient to that demon Dao's words." Yesterday, the demon said that most of the people in Anhua County were illiterate, and asked His Majesty to pay for the construction of a school to teach them to read and write. ”
Lu Buwei said: "We need to think of a way to bring down that demon road." Zhang Kui looked at the conversation of Lu Buwei and others in the Xuanguang mirror and said with a smile: "Okay, you Lu Buwei, I didn't settle accounts with you, but you calculated me, see if I don't teach you a lesson." Zhang Kui pointed his finger, and a flash of lightning suddenly appeared on Lu Buwei's mansion, and several houses in Lu Mansion were damaged. Lü Buwei looked at the destroyed house and knew that it was a good thing for Zhang Kuigan,
Others will not be idle and have nothing to do, but this Zhang Kui's status is too high, he can't grasp his handle, can't control him, and will attract him to hold grudges. The next day, in the early dynasty, King Zhuangxiang issued a holy decree. This holy decree frightened Lü Buwei a lot, and the holy decree made Zhang Kui the national teacher of the Qin State, and the interception of the religion as the state religion, so that all parts of the Qin State should build temples to intercept the religion, if you want to say that Zhang Kui is the national teacher, it will be sealed, and it is not that it has not been sealed, but the interception of the religion as the state religion is a big thing, it is related to the education of the people, the foundation of a country, and it is also a law to be sealed
