"I, Wang Ping, really don't believe him, Li Yang, dare to kill me, Wang Ping!" Wang Ping snorted disapprovingly, and walked away angrily...
The other ministers also sighed and felt that Feng Xiang was too weak this time, so they followed Wang Ping and left Feng's residence regretfully.
After Wang Pingping left, Feng Jie asked: "Father, I also heard that the new and old nobles are filled with righteous indignation, and today they have gathered outside Xianyang Palace to petition His Majesty."
Feng Quji scolded coldly, and said: "Hmph, how can some gentry in the district stop the rolling wheels of the Great Qin? Your Majesty wants to build a prosperous and powerful Qin State. For this goal, no one can stop it .”
"Father meant that Li Yang really dared to kill someone for this?" Feng Jie frowned.
Feng Quji took a deep breath and nodded: "As long as the emperor's goal of prospering and strengthening the Qin Dynasty remains unchanged, as long as the people in the world do not become chaotic, let's see if he dares to kill any gentry. The Mugong sword that His Majesty bestowed upon him , is to let him kill people."
Feng Jie frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is Your Majesty really not worried that the gentry will be in chaos?"
Feng Quji glanced at Feng Jie in surprise, and scolded: "Feng Jie, why are you so confused like Wang Ping and others? Can the gentry be in chaos? Can they really be like the common people, and they can't rebel? It's you, are you willing to abandon everything and rebel against the law, or choose an annual salary and continue to live a carefree life?"
"This... is because my child's view of the problem is too one-sided and short-sighted." Feng Jie was taken aback, and couldn't help admitting his mistake.
What Feng Quji said was correct, the common people rebelled, they had no way out, they had to rebel, otherwise they would die.But the gentry are different. They already have a lot of wealth, and they will still have an annual salary to receive in the future.As long as the pressure of the land reform is approaching, few of them really dare to resist the law desperately.
Thinking of this, Feng Jie finally understood why his father scolded Wang Ping and others.
Since there is something that cannot be stopped, if these ministers who oppose the new policies and new laws come to the house to communicate, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling the emperor that the Feng family is the leader of the opposition?
At this time, Feng Quji sighed again, and said: "I am old for my father, Your Majesty has high aspirations, implemented a new policy, and reused Li Yang, as my father has already expected. However, Your Majesty has treated our Feng family well, let you continue To be in charge of the Overwatch Council is enough to show that His Majesty has not failed me and these old courtiers."
Speaking of this, Feng Qu laughed bitterly: "It seems that I am really old, and after all, I can't win the competition for newcomers."

Chapter 1 Fallen leaves?boulder?
Hearing his father's sigh, Feng Jie also understood that since ancient times, the position of prime minister has been rotated, and he has never seen anyone who can stop the rise of a newcomer.After all, every era has its end.
Because the prefecture system proposed by his father and Li Si was in line with the emperor's will, they replaced Kai Zhuang and Wang Wan.
But now, it is Li Yang's New Deal reform, which is in line with the emperor's will, so it is unavoidable for Li Yang to replace his father and Li Si.
It's just that, although these reasons are understood, no one is willing to back down.
Although Li Yang is in charge of the government in the court today, his father is still the vice president of the State Council, and the old gentry support him. As long as he does not resign, Li Yang will offend everyone in the future Now, my father can obviously call on the gentry to defeat Li Yang in one fell swoop like Qian Long did.At the time of introduction, the government of Daqin will still be decided by the Feng family.
Thinking of this, Feng Jie said: "Father, don't be too pessimistic. Thinking about it, Qianlong was also overwhelmed by Shang Yang, who implemented new policies and new laws. After many years of dormancy, didn't he raise his arms and overthrow Shang Yang? Father at this time Don't just resign and retire. As long as you don't resign..."
"You don't need to say anything."
How could Feng Quji not know what his son was thinking? He stopped his thought immediately and said: "As a father, I am not Qian Long, Li Yang is not Shang Yang, and Fu Su is not Ying Si. Can the New Deal Success does not lie in being a father, nor does it lie in being an emperor, it all lies in Li Yang."
"It's Li Yang?" Feng Jie was taken aback, puzzled, "Father is saying that Li Yang may not be able to carry out the New Deal? The New Deal might fail?"
Feng Quji said thoughtfully: "This...it depends on whether he can implement the land reform thoroughly throughout the country. If it can be implemented nationwide, the New Deal will be a success. If it cannot be implemented nationwide, it will be a failure. So, it depends on his means."
"Oh? Didn't father say that the Land Reform and New Deal is unstoppable?" Feng Jie was a little confused.
Feng Quji said: "The court is unstoppable and irreversible. The counties and counties below are far away from the emperor. Who will check whether the order is implemented? Who will take care of it? Li Yang can manage more than 40 counties? Hundreds of counties Counties, tens of thousands of village pavilions?"
When Feng Jie heard this, his eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh, and said in surprise: "That's right, why didn't you think of it!"
Indeed, if the new land reform policy is to be implemented, it must first be implemented by the officials of the counties and counties below. However, the officials of these counties and counties are the largest land annexers in various places. They and some local gentry and local tyrants will kill themselves ?
As long as the counties and counties do not comply with the New Land Reform Deal, or they say they follow it, but in fact they cheat and deceive others, then the New Land Reform Deal is nothing but empty talk.The land reform failed, and the subsequent New Deal was impossible to talk about. Obviously, my father had a unique vision.
Feng Quji got up, stopped talking, turned around and came to the courtyard.
There is a pool in the courtyard, a clear spring flows into the pool along the canal on the rockery.
Feng Quji picked up a fallen leaf and placed it on a high place in the ditch.
I saw that the fallen leaf rushed forward unstoppably along the ditch in the turbulent water flow...
Feng Quji stretched out his finger, trying to stop the fallen leaf, but the water flow was too fast, the fallen leaf hit his finger, and soon followed the water flow, continuing to rush down...
Finally, the fallen leaves rushed along the water channel to the calm pool under the rockery.In an instant, the momentum of the fallen leaves stopped, and they swirled on the calm pool. Slowly, slowly, the fallen leaves moved to the water outlet, and a vortex immediately swallowed up the fallen leaves without a trace...
Feng Quji's eyes were sharp, and he looked at the pool that had returned to normal. At the same time, he seemed to be talking to himself, and at the same time, he seemed to be talking to Feng Jie behind him: "The water canal is as fast as the court, and the pool is as calm as the world. Can this fallen leaf stir the water? The water in the pool depends on Luo Ye's own ability. I, the Feng family, just look at this pool quietly, don't say anything, don't do anything, just watch quietly!"
Hearing this, Feng Jie raised his eyebrows slightly when he thought of the fallen leaf his father dropped just now, as if he had realized something.
Water is the world and life.
The emperor lives high above the rockery, and the aqueduct is the imperial court, which runs from top to bottom.Fallen leaves are New Deal decrees, issued by the imperial court.
Now the land reform of the New Deal is irreversible in the court, and no one in the court can stop it, but the pool is far away from the emperor. Whether it is stirred by the fallen leaves or swallowed by the fallen leaves does not depend on the court or the pool. It's all about falling leaves' own energy.
If it is a fallen leaf, it will be swallowed by the pool; if it is a huge rock, it will be able to send the pool into a huge wave!
"Father, the child understands." Feng Jie cupped his hands, his eyes were already bright.
Feng Quji waved his hand: "Understood, do your job well, don't mix with Wang Ping and the others!"
"Yes." Feng Jie cupped his hands and stepped back.
After Feng Quji saw his son leave, he couldn't help but said to himself: "Li Yang, I really want to see you. How can you turn this pool upside down!"
…………
At the same time, a group of sufferers came to Li Yang's mansion to complain.
This group of people, the group they represent is not small, the energy is not small, and the wealth is incomparable, which can be used to describe them.
Moreover, this group of people once strongly supported and supported Li Yang's new bidding policy.
That's right, these people are the rich merchants in Xianyang City.
And the representative of the door-to-door complaints pushed out by these wealthy businessmen is the head of the Ba family, Ba Shi, who is also the richest man in Qin.
In this land reform, the most injured groups are the businessmen.
Because compared with those gentry and upstarts, they have no compensation at all in this land reform policy.
The gentry, because there are people in the court, can keep the former fiefs and only take over the annexed land.
As for the upstarts who were raised by the old Qin people, although all their land had to be taken back to the imperial court, they could also receive annual salary compensation based on their past military merits and titles.
However, these merchants are pathetic. They are neither court officials nor have military titles. All land will be lost without any compensation.
These businessmen have a big family and a big business. Although they are in business, the land accounts for more than half of the family business.And this new land reform policy is tantamount to copying half of their family business!
