Chapter 391 Li Yue’s mind! These words directly disturbed the people in the car dealership.
Why are the gentry ranked first? Because the gentry are the fundamental rulers of the world.
The imperial power does not go to the countryside, it is not just talk.
The transportation in Daqian is extremely underdeveloped, let alone going to the countryside. In remote areas, the local old parents are the emperors of the country.
Take the Qin tribe's ancestral land in Guanzhong as an example. The nobles killed people, and the old parents didn't even dare to let go of anything.
It's not even possible to cover up the facts.
The capital is four hundred miles away from Guanzhong, what about five hundred miles, eight hundred miles, or even a thousand miles? Wouldn't it be earth-shaking?
Therefore, it is not just talk about ancient soldiers and generals supporting their troops and respecting themselves.
Old Zhao and Chenqiao rebelled, and that's why he got the yellow robe.
Qin Mo's words can be called treasonous. Isn't he rebelling against himself?
"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have been like this for thousands of years. How can it be that you just want to change?" Du Jingming couldn't stand it anymore and started arguing quickly.
"Old Du, you are anxious, the situation is too small, isn't it?" Qin Mo snorted: "I tell you, if this continues, it is useless. The nobles occupy the best and most fertile land in the world, and they don't have to pay taxes.
It might be nothing at first, but after more than a hundred years, the world has become prosperous and the population has exploded. Where will there be so much land for them to plant?
Guanzhong used to be the most fertile place, but my father said that Guanzhong is not good anymore. There have been too many crops planted over thousands of years and the soil cannot keep up.
There is not enough land to grow crops, there are too many people, and the problem is that there is not enough food to eat. If there is another natural or man-made disaster, do you think there will be unrest? Also, this is nothing, the world is so big anyway, if there is not enough land, just fight. If you win, you will get the land. Then move the Gan people there, and in three generations, it will definitely become the inherent land of Da Gan! However, fighting a war is not easy. The anti-war voice in the imperial court is still quite loud now, so in a few decades, if people don’t bully us, they probably won’t go to war.
What we are about to face next is land annexation.
The family's meritorious service continued to annex fields, and vassal kings became vassals. In the country, all taxes were collected, and the people of the land were anointed and raised.
If you meet a conscientious vassal king, the people under his rule may still have enough to eat. If you meet a heartless vassal king, like the one in the fish and meat village, do you think the world will be full of joy?
Moreover, there will be more and more vassal kings in the future. When the time comes, there will be no more seals for the imperial court. What should we do? In the event of a natural or man-made disaster, a drop of water falling into the oil pan will instantly detonate the situation! "
In the carriage, everyone was silent.
Everyone was shocked by Qin Mo's words.
"Jingyun, do you mean to change the structure of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce?" Li Shilong asked tentatively.
To be honest, he felt a little scared when he said this.
This is no longer just a chop on the neck of the aristocratic family, but also the meritorious service of the imperial court.
"I made it very clear. Although I, Qin Mo, have not read any books, I also like to listen to stories. When I was a child, I was wondering why all dynasties lasted from three to four hundred years to a few decades. ? Father, do you also hope that Da Qian Guo Zuo will last for hundreds or even thousands of years? "
"That's natural!" Li Shilong said: "Historical records show that the longest dynasty in Zuo was 800 years old!"
"In my opinion, if Daqian continues like this, it will take at most two to three hundred years!"
Ouch, little ancestor, can you say this? Gao Shilian's heart was about to jump out of fright.
Li Yue also wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Idiot, don't talk nonsense. My father is so wise, how can it be possible that Da Qian Guozuo is only two or three hundred years old?"
Li Zhi saw this and said, "Are you cursing Da Gan?"
"I don't talk to people who run brothels!" Qin Mo killed Li Zhi with just one sentence, and then said to Li Shilong: "Father, I made it very clear just now. I want Da Qian Guo Zuo to be longer. There are two ways, one is to continuously expand the land and always let the people under the rule have food to eat. Our people in Dagang are the most simple and lovely. As long as they have food to eat, they will not rebel.
The second is to constantly adapt to society through innovation, and always put the people first. Only by letting them feel the treatment, their lives will become better, they will have food to eat, and their children will have room for promotion. Everyone has hope. Do you think they will rebel? "
At this moment, everyone was silent, especially Li Shilong.
Although Qin Mo spoke in plain language, it was very reasonable.
Du Jingming said: "That's good, but everything is so beautiful, you still think too simply."
"My father has told me since I was a child not to argue with fools. If you argue, you are right!" Qin Mo said.
Du Jingming was extremely embarrassed. This Qin Mo was too capable of fighting.
"Jingyun, what can you do?"
"Father, what can I do? These are all my own thoughts. I don't know what's right or wrong. If you think it's right, just use it. If it's not, it's okay." Qin Mo scratched his head.
Li Yue said at this time: "Father, I think Hanzi is right. Although we can't see these problems now, looking at the history, it is always like this for a dynasty to prosper and collapse.
Therefore, Erchen thinks that the fool's two methods are very good. First, we should expand our territory externally. Secondly, we should focus on internal affairs and continuously improve people's livelihood so that all the people in the world can have enough to eat. Only the common people can Only when you have enough food can you have enough food to pay taxes.
Ordinary people have the ability to protect themselves in the face of natural disasters.
Therefore, the son is willing to give up the Yuezhou fiefdom and distribute all the land in the fiefdom to the people of Li under his rule, so as to collect more tax revenue for the court. "
This sentence shocked everyone present again.
The feudal king gave up his fiefdom?
It has never happened since ancient times! "Lao Ba, do you know what you are talking about?" Li Shilong frowned.
"My son, I know clearly. What I said is right. The world has just opened, there are few princes, and there are still places in the world that can be sealed.
What about more than a hundred years later?But there is still a fiefdom?
All food and taxes under the rule belong to the king, and the capital must pay tribute every year, which is a huge pressure on the court.
What if there is a calamity year and the court is also in trouble? Therefore, I sincerely ask my father to grant permission. If I want to become a vassal, I only need a place to establish a cone.
The king went to the fiefdom not to enjoy the blessings, but to govern the place. "
Li Yue's words were very impactful, and Li Shilong's expression relaxed, and he laughed loudly from behind.
Qin Mo didn't expect that Li Yue would have such an awareness.
What a good boy, your path has been broadened in one fell swoop.
Let's put it this way, staying in the capital has more opportunities than joining a feudal clan.
And it's all fair and aboveboard, no one can tell anything wrong.
Dou Xuanling and Du Jingming were in the same mood, they both raised their hands and said, "The king of Yue has such a big heart, I admire him!"
Li Shilong was even more satisfied and couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, you have such a big heart, I'm sure!"
