Chapter 77 The means to make the imperial court no longer short of money, Lejia New Development!

In video No. 1,

“As Sir said earlier, the change of law is a redistribution of benefits, can it be more specific?”

Huan Zheng opened his mouth again and asked, as the King of Qin, Huan Zheng naturally understood that although the current reform of Daqin was relatively successful, how many dangers he had experienced, not to mention the many, there were tens of thousands of powerful people and their families who opposed education and medical popularization that were eliminated by the remnants of Qiu! You know, the entire Qin Kingdom, even after the annexation of the Korean land, the total population is now less than 10 million!

On average, one in 100 people is imprisoned or even killed for this, which is already quite high.

Such a decision, even if the winning government has been determined for a long time, if it is replaced by Fusu with a weak personality, I am afraid that there will be a situation like King Qin Huiwen was forced to the palace as soon as he took the throne.

“To ensure the continuation of the law change, there are roughly two ways!”

“One is to ensure that the king has enough prestige and ability, and to put it bluntly, the ability to kill at any time!”

Su Han spoke.

“Sir, do you mean military power?”

Ying Zheng pondered for a long time and asked.

“Exactly, as we have analyzed before, the people are willing to pay taxes to the king in exchange for peace,”

From this point of view, officials are only a channel for transmitting decrees and collecting taxes, while the army is the force to defend tranquility and the core of the monarchy’s power!

Now our new policy is actually to open the channels that were originally controlled by the powerful aristocracy, so that ordinary people can also have the opportunity to study and advance, and even join the court.

In other words, it is actually Wendao’s military merit title system, and because the grassroots officers in the army can also master more art of war through study, they have better opportunities for promotion, so they are also beneficiaries.

Since the overwhelming majority of the people are beneficiaries, and the army with the power to change is also supportive, as long as the king firmly controls the morale of the people, there will be no big mess, and problems can be corrected at any time.

“From another point of view, the reason why the clan magnates have been able to deceive and conceal for so many years is that they have stolen part of the deterrent power of the imperial court, or they are simply a small independent country that has not been fully integrated by the imperial court!”

Su Han spoke: “This is actually the original meaning of promoting indoctrination, only by making the people clear and opening up the communication channels between the people and the king will it not be vacated by the powerful bureaucrats!” ”

Since ancient times, the real promising kings, in fact, are more concerned about the people’s hearts, to put it bluntly, the world’s society is king’s, he alone can not spend too much 08, naturally is to hope that the dynasty will be longer, blessing more descendants, so that they will be more praised by future generations.

But for bureaucrats, this situation is different, even if the prime minister with a high status, there is a day when he retires, if he does not play more means, the status will suddenly fall from the top to the bottom.

And because the dynasty is busy, the children and grandchildren of the prime minister may not be able to become a weapon, and when the prime minister retires, without blessings, they may be squeezed out.

To change all this, only by making officials also become a hereditary model can power be passed on from generation to generation.

Before the popularization of education, it was mainly through the control of learning resources, that is, the collusion between Confucianism and the Shi clan, it was difficult for non-Confucian students to study, and in the face of such stubborn strength, even people of insight such as Mencius and Xunzi, who had great influence in Confucianism, could not really change.

However, this situation was directly torn apart by Su Han’s new papermaking and printing technology, free official education and literacy in the national model.

Many people, including Confucianism, are also inspired to devote themselves to the popularization of education, but people’s hearts will become, especially those who have achieved fame, enjoy being high, ruling over the life and death of others, and after having children and grandchildren in old age, they may turn to support the transmission of their own energy to future generations.

This is actually the root of why dragon slayers tend to become evil dragons.

To put it bluntly, it is the greed and selfishness of the human heart, and even in later generations it has not changed, but it has been replaced by a scholar or a title for the second and third generations.

And to reverse all this, one is a promising king, and the other is this king, who must have the ability and courage to clean up the officials of the court that have been solidified.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to have military power, and find the right time to replace the rotten old man with a new person who is closer to his own ideas.

If you do it well, the dynasty can continue, and if you do it poorly, the king will be reversed, and then the dynasty will start the countdown to the end.

Typically, the emperor in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, either a puppet or deceived, dared to act a little, it was not a red pill case or fell into the water and died, and the treasury did not even have the wealth of a random courtier.

The capital of the country had already been sent to the city, and the emperor personally asked for military expenses, but he could not raise much money, and Li Zicheng tortured after entering the city, and directly confiscated 70 million taels of silver.

After the alien race entered the customs, in Jiangnan and other places, these officials and businesses were directly confiscated, and they were directly measured in hundreds of millions of taels. If such a huge amount of money can really be used passively, why will the people in the world be full of grievances?

How can a foreign race with less than one percent of the population of Daming take advantage of the void?

However, this group of people are willing to lock the money in the mansion, and after the collapse of the country, they are reluctant to take it out to give Daming a little more blood, among them, they were originally cleverly seized the land, used the collusion between officials and businessmen to exempt commercial taxes, and stole the money from the Daming treasury!

Therefore, Su Han has always believed that if the dynasty wants to continue, one is to broaden the wisdom of the people, and the other is the king and the people, and the heart of the army, and must not be broken.

As for what dish to boil and the like, it was pure nonsense in Qin Shi, and there was no such foundation at all!

“It seems that when Fusu and them are older, they will all go to the army to experience some training, and then go to the grassroots officials to hone for a few years!”

Ying Zheng pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke.

The reason why he was able to quickly understand Su Han’s theory of the people’s hearts and was more familiar with the lives of the people had a lot to do with the fact that he had been displaced in the Zhao Kingdom for several years and went deep into the people.

And Fusu and others, who have grown up in a golden rice bowl since childhood, cannot go down, and insight into the people’s feelings is empty talk!

“Practice produces true knowledge, Your Majesty’s order can be passed down as the ancestral discipline of Daqin, and successive princes and even princesses cannot be out of touch with the people!”

“Don’t ask them how good they are, at least learn to support themselves and give back to the society in your own way!”

“Otherwise, when the Great Qin inheritance is passed down for a long time, the consumption of these royal clans alone will be able to bring down the treasury!”

Su Han said in a deep voice, compared to the later life, although Daqin is a little simpler and rougher, it also has the advantage that the solidification is not so serious.

Taking the military meritorious title that had the greatest influence on Daqin as an example, when Shang Martingale was designed, it took into account the problem of too many knighthood owners, the treasury would not be able to support it, and the lack of motivation after everyone was knighted: specifically, the assessment of military merit titles is extremely strict, and the punishment is also extremely serious, such as winning a battle, but the loss is very large, or friendly troops in distress are too late to rescue, they must reduce military merit or even directly buckle!

Taking the Battle of Changping as an example, although Bai Qi beheaded and captured more than 400,000 Zhao troops, the Qin army itself suffered nearly 200,000 casualties, and the net increase in military merit was not much.

And except for the highest-ranking Marquis of Guan Nei and Marquis Che, if the descendants of military lords do not have enough merit, the inheritance of titles will be demoted, even the children of the royal family.

This made Su Han propose that the royal children should also be allowed to support themselves, without increasing the burden on the state, which was much smoother.

“Take from the people, use it for the people, the royal family should indeed set an example!”

Ying Zheng smiled, his own use, in fact, is quite frugal, eating only two or three plates a day, often soaking in mutton soup in pots and helmets, in order to bring a culture of economy inside and outside the court.

The use of the harem is also far inferior to Chu Zhao and other countries, and many concubines can only buy cloth and sew them into dresses by themselves.

“Throttling is definitely excellent, but if you want to ensure the continuation of the change, you have to find a way to open source the increment!”

“For example, the biggest source of education and medical popularization in Daqin is actually the imperial court’s monopoly and commercial tax income.”

Those clans who were most affected, as long as they actively cooperated with the imperial court, could also get a share of commercial profits, although they did not sit and enjoy it for thousands of years as before, but compared with the end of disobedience, more people could still make wise choices.

“To put it bluntly, as long as the fat is large enough, all the people passing by can rub some oil and water, and if it is beneficial, it will naturally be easy to be stable.”

Su Han smiled and said that the reason why farmers and businesses were heavy in ancient times was actually to hope to strive for the relative stability of the society in a selfish way.

After all, the income from business is far better than from farming, and if it is not controlled, there will be fewer people growing farmland, and there will be no food, which will cause big problems.

Secondly, the rich income of commerce, the powerful and aristocratic people actually understand, and they do not want too many people to share this piece of fat.

Therefore, under the lobbying of the powerful and Confucian, the merchants became the lowest level of the Shi, peasants, industry and commerce, full of all kinds of critical words, but in fact, each wealthy family has its own exclusive caravan, relying on monopoly to obtain profits, maintain their own luxury, typical is the Donglin high-level of the Ming Dynasty, each family wealth is millions or even tens of millions of taels of silver.

“But the increment brought by this business, the gentleman said, will also have an upper limit, right?”

Ying Zheng asked again.

“First of all, the probability of being used is actually very low that the money that has been mined and buried in the treasury by the powerful and aristocratic families is actually very low, and the luxury goods that we are currently promoting with extremely high profits are actually exchanged for these money!”

“Take Liuli as an example, because our output and quality are well controlled, not only has the price been steadily rising, but it has become more and more sought after by the nobles, and has been able to directly participate in various transactions, playing an effect similar to the equivalent of money!”

“If we promote it again, such as publicizing that copper coins are difficult to keep, easy to rust, and the value is constantly deteriorated, etc., it is very likely that some wealthy families will replace the full treasury with glass!”

“Luxury goods such as tea and Shujin silk wine, although not as dazzling as Liuli, but the price also has a lot of room to rise,”

“For example, hype what is unique in history, only the real rich can enjoy the fairy tea, etc., can make the local tycoons who have money and have nowhere to spend spend money!”

“To put it bluntly, let them spend money to buy face, buy the pursuit of others, this kind of psychological enjoyment, even northern material enjoyment can make people crazy!”

“Even if you move a little more idle money accumulated for thousands of years, the profit will be enough for Daqin to open hundreds of schools!”

Su Han smiled and said: “And this is still only the powerful, the consumption of the people, is the big head in the future!” ”

“People?”

Ying Zheng’s eyes showed doubt.

“It’s the people, don’t look at the people’s single-family household consumption power is extremely low, but they are the vast majority of the population of Daqin, cumulative, and quite a lot.”

Moreover, the low consumption of the people is due to the previous model, they could not save money, and even had to borrow money from the landlord gentry, and they did not have to spend it at all.

Nowadays, the tax relief in Daqin, the increase in income brought by the effective irrigation, and the reduction of the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes that the lawless gentry privately increased have gradually increased the surplus food of the people.

Taking today’s summer harvest as an example, the number of people in all counties who come to sell grain for money is much higher than in previous years.

And the money exchanged, many people will also use it to consume, such as buying a few new clothes for their families, buying a better set of pens, ink and paper for children studying in school, repairing dilapidated houses, etc.

“Even the previous bulk goods such as cows and donkeys have increased by more than 30%!”

“This fully shows that the people don’t want to spend money, it’s that they really didn’t have money to spend before!”

Su Han smiled and said, “With the current number of nearly 10 million people in Daqin, the per capita income is increased by ten dollars, that is close to ten thousand dollars!” ”

“Let it benefit the people, and then recover the tax from the increased consumption of the people, forming a virtuous circle, the gentleman’s strategy, is indeed a millennium plan!”

Huan Zheng nodded thoughtfully, and then sighed again: “It’s this advance investment, it’s really too big!” ”

“Education is the foundation of a century, and it is also the foundation for enhancing people’s understanding and stabilizing people’s hearts!”

“As for medical care, it’s about longevity and happiness, specifically, if you don’t have a good body and bones, you can’t pick up the burden of hoes, how do you farm or run a business?”

“And after the education and medical care are truly popularized, it is that the people are more capable in culture and martial arts, the ability to make money is stronger, consumption will naturally come up, the national treasury will be richer, and the imperial court can do more!”

“A little more expansion, 897 means that the people are living and working in peace, and the feedback of humanitarian luck will be more, and His Majesty and many courtiers will also benefit more!”

Su Han said with a smile.

No matter what the era, developing the economy, improving education and medical care, and making the people well-fed, rational and healthy are the best ways to stabilize the hearts and minds of the people.

The people may not understand the big reason, but they are not stupid, and who is good or bad for them, the people have their own criteria for judging them, and they can clearly distinguish.

Taking Daqin as an example, after the days are better, now the streets and alleys, the countryside and the city are much more vigorous than before, and the people living here are more enthusiastic and friendly, and you can often see groups of people who study literature or martial arts together.

Moreover, the people do not understand the big reason, which is the reason why the education is not in place.

Patriotic enthusiasm can only be cultivated through sincere dedication and education.

“To borrow Mr. Sentence’s words, the future is bright, and it is quite worth it to suffer more now!”

Ying Zheng also showed a smile on his face and said, indeed, even Su Han said, although there are even more disputes in the imperial court than in the past, but more for official affairs, compared to the old Lu Buwei when he was in charge, it is still much stronger.

Moreover, as the king of Daqin, the people live and work in peace and contentment, not only has a great sense of accomplishment, but even his own spirit has always been slightly improved.

This joy and satisfaction is absolutely irreplaceable by others.

“In fact, the investment in education and medical care is too large, mainly because there are too many preliminary affairs, if it really works well, the pressure will be reduced a lot, and it will enter a virtuous circle earlier!”

Su Han spoke again.

“Sir, but you have a new idea?”

Ying Zheng’s eyes became brighter.

“It’s kind of a small gain from the formative years.”

For example, the earliest official school in Daqin has been open for nearly a year, and some students who originally had a little foundation are now almost reaching the level of graduation from Mongolian school.

For these outstanding students, it is entirely possible to consider letting them serve as assistant teachers for new students, one can save costs, and the other can also give these excellent students a little subsidy.

For those students who are extremely talented in arithmetic, they can also be given some internship opportunities in government offices and business shops.

“For touring performances throughout the Lejia, you can also consider adding courses such as etiquette music to the school, and outstanding students will participate in the performance!”

“And the enjoyment of the powerful can be delegated to the people, and the basic opera can also rise to high-end consumption.”

“For example, a voluntary tour is a loss of money to the people, but if you organize some high-end places, now Zilan Xuan Concubine Snow Pavilion is like this, it is quite easy to earn money from powerful people!”

Su Han said with a smile.

“Good calculation sir!”

The smile on Ying Zheng’s face was also stronger, after seeing the power of money, letting the powerful people lock in the mansion treasury was not only a waste, but also a hidden danger.

Nowadays, there are new ways for the powerful to spend money to support the people, stabilize the society, and feedback the people’s hearts and humanitarian merits, which is definitely a magic plan that kills many birds with one stone!

Even as before, it is the most obvious, but unstoppable Yang Scheme!.
