Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Ying Zheng touched his chin and asked a question.

"Two years!"

Zhao Che stretched out his hand and gave an answer that he had already calculated.

"Two years? Is it a little long?"

Ying Zheng frowned. The current development of Daqin can be said to be changing with each passing day, almost every day.

Ying Zheng may also be used to such changes, which has caused his character to become a little impatient now, and even two years feels a bit too long.

"Two years is not a long time, and when I say two years, I mean that the whole of South Vietnam has directly become the granary of Daqin."

Zhao Che patted his chest and said something.

"This is good, this is good!"

Hearing Zhao Che's assurance, Ying Zheng immediately beamed with joy.

"Dad, don't rush to be happy. Two years is not long or short. In these two years, it is a trivial matter to promote hybrid rice in South Vietnam. The most important thing is the north-south transportation. question."

"Don't worry, the widow has already recruited a lot of labor from the foreign race. After returning, he will start digging the North-South Grand Canal!"

"It's not just the North-South Grand Canal, the train tracks should also run at the same time. Don't be afraid to spend money. I have plenty of ways to make money. Don't worry, Dad!"

Zhao Che also made a deal with Ying Zheng.

Even though Daqin's treasury is sufficient now, it is really not a small expense to dig canals and build railways at the same time in a short period of time. It is very likely that Daqin, which has finally become rich, will become stretched in an instant.

"Okay, I listen to you!"

Of course, Ying Zheng is also happy and at ease, anyway, Zhao Che will give him the answer to everything.

Zhao Che and Ying Zheng were on their way back, Zhao Che was thinking about how to get a sum of money as soon as possible.

The factories in Daqin now generate a lot of benefits every year, but it is not necessarily enough to fill the hole in Daqin.

There are too many places to spend money, at least in Zhao Che's view, the current Daqin can only be regarded as a small fight, the span of historical time is too large, and I want Daqin to reach the level of thousands of years later ,Totally impossible.

"Daqin's wealth is mainly in the hands of the rich, so we must find a way to get it out of their hands."

Zhao Che thought for a while. The factories and the like that he established before are actually the main target customers of the ordinary Qianshou of Daqin. They are all high-quality and cheap things. The prices are not high, and the profits are naturally limited.

Those merchants had too many deposits, and those gentry, even though they had experienced several blows by Yingzheng, the wealth they had accumulated through the ages was still a figure that could not be ignored.

In ancient times, those who could be called aristocratic families were simple things?Without a century-old inheritance, you are ashamed to say that you are from an aristocratic family.

Even the inheritance time of some aristocratic families is longer than the founding time of some dynasties.

For example, in the Tang Dynasty of later generations, there were several big families with five surnames and seven surnames, and their influence was so terrifying that they could affect the situation of the entire Tang Dynasty.

One of Li Shimin's evaluations of being called the emperor through the ages is that he is good at accepting advice.

The key issue is that it's not that Li Shimin doesn't want to listen to his courtiers, but he has to listen, because the aristocratic power behind those courtiers is not something he can offend.

The prosperity and prosperity of the Sui Dynasty at that time was even more terrifying than the Kaiyuan prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but why did the second emperor die in the end?
Didn't it be that what Emperor Sui Yang did touched the fundamental interests of those aristocratic families, leading them to finally unite and directly overthrow this huge dynasty?

Of course, the aristocratic power of the Qin Dynasty must not be so terrifying, all of this is due to the Shang Jun's reform.

Since the Great Qin Reform, the Qin State has worked hard for the survivors of the sixth generation to suppress the aristocratic family.

But the details of those aristocratic families are still passed down, but they don't have that much influence in the government.

What Zhao Che wants to do now is to directly squeeze out these aristocratic families and dig out their last vestiges of benefits.

Therefore, Zhao Che came up with a suitable solution across the border.

After returning to the study with Ying Zheng and others, Zhao Che directly took out a map of Great Qin.

"Dad, do you know what land annexation is?"

"Land annexation? What do you mean?"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment.

"It is to nationalize all the land in Daqin, and distribute and manage it uniformly by the state. No matter who is allocated, they only have the right to contract, not direct ownership!"

"No, the Qin Dynasty returned the land to Qianshou after Shang Jun's reform, and it was because of this that Da Qin became strong. Isn't this move by the young master following in the footsteps of Shang Jun before the reform?"

As soon as Zhao Che finished speaking, he was immediately opposed by Meng Yi.

Before Shang Yang's reform, in fact, the land in all countries was originally state-owned.

But at that time, the enfeoffment system was still popular, that is to say, if the imperial court entrusted a piece of land to the prince's family, then the land belonged to the prince and would not be managed by the imperial court in the future.

Of course, if the land was distributed, the Guizhou chiefs would naturally have no land to plant. They could only farm under the hands of the princes of the aristocratic families, and the food they planted every year naturally belonged to the aristocratic families.

Later, after Shang Yang's reform, the land was changed from state-owned to private-owned, and the heads of Guizhou could all get the land, and when they could also plant on the land, they only needed to pay a part of the tax.

This was originally a measure to encourage farming in the head of Guizhou, but the effect was naturally good. The national strength of Daqin was greatly increased because of the implementation of this measure, and soon became the most powerful country among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.

But now, in fact, private ownership of land is no longer suitable for the current Daqin.

After all, the threat of aristocratic families has been completely eliminated, and the shortcomings of private ownership of land have also been exposed.

The original exorbitant taxes of Daqin have made many Guizhou leaders unable to survive at all. In desperation, they can only transfer their land.

Over time, the phenomenon of polarization between the rich and the poor has formed in Daqin, which has given birth to the emergence of many landlord and gentry classes.

Privatization of land does not guarantee that the tiller will have the land.

The privatization of land was originally intended to ensure that each Guizhou capital could have its own land for planting, but it was precisely because of the privatization of land that the land could be resold as a gift.

In this way, the land will only slowly be concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and more and more.

And the heads of Guizhou, who could not afford to grow land, now have lost their land, making it even more difficult to survive, and can only become tenant farmers of those landlords and gentry.

Land is something that does not mean that once it is in your hands, it will definitely be able to support your family.
