Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

All the people said one after another: "What the Prime Minister said, the ministers agree with."

But Feng Quji looked like a ghost who wanted to die.

I will be the bad guy, but let him be the good guy!

Thinking of this, Feng Quji looked up at the sky at 45 degrees...

I... It's too difficult!

Chapter 181 Land Reform Strategy

In other words, Yingzheng actually didn't want to treat Feng Quji like this.

But, there is no way, you, Feng Quji, are the right prime minister who is in charge of the government, and almost half of the entire court is your people.The land reform is of great importance and involves a wide range of areas. It has shaken the interests of almost all aristocratic groups. To implement the land reform policy, the first thing to ensure is that the court will not be chaotic.

And how can your right prime minister, who is in charge of the government, stay out of it?Naturally, you have to be dragged into the water. If you point out the redistribution of land, the officials will not make trouble.If there is no chaos in the officials, there will be no chaos in the court, and if there is no chaos in the court, there will be no chaos in the court. If there is no chaos in the court, the land reform policy can be effectively implemented downwards.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, Feng Quji has been at odds with Li Yang.If the land reform did not drag Feng Quji into trouble, he would very likely take advantage of this to create chaos on his own initiative to oppose Li Yang.

Therefore, the murder of Feng Quji was a plan that Ying Zheng and Li Yang had discussed early in the morning.

Of course, although Feng Quji has been dragged into trouble, it doesn't mean that he won't secretly use the land reform to incite the people below to fight against him.

However, for Ying Zheng and Li Yang, as long as you say you want to redistribute the land in the court, it is enough.Even if you object behind your back, so what?

You can't stand up and lead the opposition, and you don't dare to go too far, because if the land reform policy really leads to an unmanageable situation, the first person who will use it to quell public anger is you Feng Quji .

Therefore, today, La Feng went to the water quickly, which means that the land reform has no obstacles in the court.

As for the army, Ying Zheng felt much more at ease, because military power has always been in the hands of Ying Zheng, which is why the position of Taiwei has been set up all the time, but this position has been vacant for a long time, and it was not until recently that Meng Tian The reason for taking office is that Yingzheng has always attached great importance to military power.

Therefore, with the army alone, there is no policy, no matter right or wrong, it must be obeyed by the emperor.

In addition, the hundreds of thousands of active-duty troops in the army are all military farms replaced by annual salaries, and this land reform policy will not harm the interests of active-duty soldiers, and it is impossible to oppose it.

To put it bluntly, even if some generals wanted to object, they would not have the courage to dare to object, because the sergeants below would not follow suit, and Meng Tian above would not allow you to object.

Now that civil servants and military generals have all been settled, Ying Zheng knows that it's time to get down to business.

So, he turned his head and said to Li Yang: "Li Yang, since everyone agrees with your opinion, let's talk about your gentle strategy!"

Li Yang nodded and smiled: "Your Majesty, regarding the annexation of land, as far as I know, most of the people who annexed the land were upstarts who had made meritorious service in the past. Of course, there are also many old nobles. Landlords and ministers received the grace of His Majesty, and were granted the title of Marquis. They lived in tens of thousands of households, and the two counties of Dongyang County. Except for the land of the local gentry, most of the land belonged to the ministers. Therefore, those who annexed the land were all those who had received the grace of the emperor in the past. Most of them are ministers who have made meritorious deeds. Therefore, if your majesty takes the land that was rewarded by the court back to the court and redistributes it, the minister will inevitably feel that it is unfair. Therefore, the minister thinks that if the land in the world is to be returned to the court and redistributed, That has to be compensated."

Everyone nodded, feeling that Li Yang had hit the point.

After all, everyone has sacrificed their lives, shed blood, and sweated for the court, and some people have made great contributions. Now the court wants to take back the land without compensation, which makes everyone feel very chilling.

"Well, I didn't consider this point." Ying Zheng nodded slightly, pretending to think that what Li Yang said was very reasonable, and then said: "Then how do you make compensation?"

Li Yangdao: "This compensation, to be honest, is indeed a difficult problem. If the compensation is too much, the treasury cannot afford it. If the compensation is too little, it will inevitably hurt the hearts of the heroes and soldiers in the past. However, there is a ready-made plan that can be used for reference."

"Oh? What is the ready-made plan?" Ying Zheng asked.

Everyone also looked at Li Yang one after another, wanting to hear what solution he thought of.

At this time, Li Yang stretched out four fingers and said, "The annual salary system!"

"Annuity system?"

Everyone became suspicious.

But Feng Quji, Li Si, Meng Tian and some others suddenly understood why the emperor asked about the annual salary to replace the military field as soon as he came to the Qilin Palace. It turned out that all this was to lay the groundwork for the land reform.

This time, Feng Quji and Li Si couldn't help but admire Li Yang and Ying Zheng. They sang together and cooperated so fucking seamlessly.If you don't experience it carefully, it will really make people think that today's things have developed to this point naturally.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was still acting, and frowned: "You mean... the policy of replacing military farmland with annual salary?"

"Yes!"

Li Yang nodded and explained: "Your Majesty, the current policy of replacing military farmland with annual salary can actually be used as a reference. Since the pre-Qin state, the land has been owned by the imperial court, and land is not allowed to be traded. Therefore, the land they annexed This matter can be ignored, but the acquired land is not included in the compensation. In this way, the matter is much simpler, and the corresponding annual salary is directly given to each person according to the military merit title. The annual salary can be exchanged for the previously awarded Land, I believe that everyone can't say that the court is unfair, after all, over the past ten years, more than [-] heroes and sergeants who have made meritorious service have been treated like this, and now it is just that the heroes and soldiers all over the world treat them the same."

Ying Zheng patted the table and praised in surprise: "Wonderful, this strategy is very sound! What do you think?"

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, with a wry smile, and finally nodded: "I think this strategy is feasible!"

Although Li Yang's plan is also very deceptive, because it means that only the land allocated by the emperor at the beginning is recognized, and the land that everyone buys from the common people with money and food later does not count.What's more, under the pretext of not prosecuting your violation of the law in buying and selling land, you openly ignored the land acquired through mergers.

However, you must know that the land obtained from the merger is the big one.

It's just that the emperor has made up his mind to redistribute the land in the world. If you dare to disagree, isn't it courting death?

So, since you will take the land back to the imperial court whether you agree or disagree, it is better to get compensation for the annual salary than no compensation, right?

Moreover, what Li Yang said is correct, in the past ten years or so, everyone who has made meritorious service has only been rewarded with annual salary, and the current plan is nothing more than treating the whole world as the same.So, you have no reason to disagree.

At this time, Zhi Li Neishi, who is in charge of the national treasury, came out and said: "Your Majesty, just like this, the national treasury may not be able to bear this huge expenditure!"

Feng Quji couldn't help worrying and said: "Your Majesty, what Ji Kai said is very true. There are hundreds of thousands of people who have made meritorious deeds and received titles and fiefdoms. All of them receive annual salaries. The national treasury will definitely not be able to afford such a huge expenditure."

Everyone realized this and nodded their heads.

At this time, Li Yang said: "Master Ji Kai and Feng Xiangzhi are worried, but there is nothing to worry about!"

"Oh?"

At this moment, both Feng Quji and Ji Kai were stunned for a moment, and turned their heads to look at Li Yang in amazement. Feng Quji said, "Do you have a solution, Prime Minister Zhong?"

Li Yang smiled: "President Feng only calculated the huge increase in expenditure, but did not calculate the additional expenditure that can be added to the national treasury after the land is redistributed."

This time, not only was Feng Quji more confused, but everyone couldn't understand.

Ji Kai bowed his hands and said: "Please also teach me, Prime Minister Zhong!"

Li Yang stood with his hands behind his back, with the appearance of a high-ranking person who pointed out the country, and said with a smile: "Master Zhi Li Neishi, Xiang Feng, you are right, the land was taken back to the imperial court, and hundreds of thousands of people who had military meritorious titles in the past The annual salary is a huge expense, but you might as well think about it differently. In the past, the land was concentrated in the hands of these upstarts. Only one-tenth of the land tax that can be returned to the state treasury, and where does the other six-sevenths go? Naturally, it is in the hands of these upstarts who annexed the land."

Speaking of this, Li Yang glanced at everyone, and continued: "The country is poor, the people are poor, and the money and food of the country are all in the hands of these upstarts who own the land. Now that the land reform is implemented, the land will be returned to the court and redistributed, and the people will be exhausted. They all regained a large amount of self-cultivated land, so that even if the imperial court collects three-tenths of the tax, the people still have seven-tenths of the surplus grain in their hands."

"Everyone, the imperial court collected [-]% more land tax than in previous years, but the people have [-]% more food than in previous years. In this way, the increased [-]% land tax is not enough to pay the hundreds of thousands of people who have made military achievements in the past. Is it your annual salary?"

"Moreover, not only can we pay for this expense, but also solve the sufferings of the people. They can use [-]% of the output, enough to survive, and even have surplus food, so that even if there is a famine year, it will not be like this year. It can be said that the land reform is not only beneficial to the common people in the world, but also beneficial to the country, and it is also worthy of those who have made military achievements in the past."

Speaking of this, Li Yang looked at Ji Kai and Feng Quji, and smiled: "You two, do you think the truth analysis is reasonable?"

The two were already stunned.

Because they really didn't expect that after the land was redistributed, the land tax could be raised and a huge amount of income could be added to the national treasury.

Immediately, Ji Kai was convinced with admiration, and said: "The lower official has been taught."
