Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

Li Yang is holding back his grandson, is he so wicked?You are trying to kill us!

At that moment, the three of them were unhappy, and Meng Tian hurriedly said: "Prime Minister Zhong, you have a unique vision, and you are so penetrating. Analyzing problems is even more penetrating, hitting the nail on the head, and can always hit the point. And the insights are even more detailed, careful and thorough , You are very pertinent, you can always explain the problem very deeply. Therefore, in terms of analyzing the problem, you should come and analyze it for His Majesty and me and other civil and military officials!"

Everyone nodded.

Li Yang quickly waved his hand: "General Meng is absurdly praised. I am worried that the analysis of the truth will displease His Majesty, and it is estimated that you will be refuted by the adults, so it is better for General Meng or Prime Minister Feng to talk about it."

Feng Quji cursed secretly in his heart, Li Yang, you are really not a good person!Then he said: "Prime Minister Zhong, His Majesty asked you to analyze by name, how can you resist the order and not obey, you should analyze it quickly!"

This time, Ying Zheng was really angry. He slapped the desk, and with a bang, he glared at Li Yang and said, "Well, Li Yang, are you trying to resist the edict!"

Li Yang shivered in fright: "I dare not!"

Ying Zheng said angrily: "Don't dare, tell me the truth! As long as your analysis is the truth, I want to see who dares to refute you by turning black and white! Say it, say it boldly! If you don't tell me, I will punish you now If you don't obey the order, you will be pulled out and you will be executed immediately!"

Li Yang's face changed greatly in fright, and he nodded tremblingly: "Then...the minister will just say it straight!"

Ying Zheng glared at Li Yang, which meant to say: Please start your performance!

In other words, some of the civil and military officials in the palace at this time are already waiting to see a good show in their hearts.

From their point of view, even Fusu would be assigned to the matter of heavy corvee. If you, Li Yang, dare to speak out, you probably won't be able to get it right.After all, the reason why the emperor forced everyone to analyze this issue was to let everyone attribute their mistakes to other aspects.

Although everyone can also attribute the famine problem to other aspects, such as natural disasters, such as the laziness of the people, but... these are too far-fetched.

So, this question cannot be answered at all.

"Cough!" At this time, Li Yang cleared his throat, put his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth in front of the hall for two steps. Then he organized his words and said, "In the previous famine, according to Chen, there are two problems!"

"First, the heavy corvee in previous years resulted in a shortage of young and strong labor force, all young and strong labor force was requisitioned by the project, resulting in the desolation of farmland in the territory of Daqin, and only women worked a small amount of farmland, and it was difficult to maintain a year's output. In addition to this spring, the policy of light corvee was implemented, and millions of laborers were dismissed. When these people returned home, they quickly consumed all the food that was originally not much, and thus triggered a great famine in the world!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed greatly.

Because these words are really too rebellious, and the fault is all attributed to the emperor alone.

This Li Yang is really courageous!

Suddenly, with a bang, everyone looked at Ying Zheng, wanting to see if Ying Zheng was going to be furious!

however……

When everyone looked at Ying Zheng, everyone booed each other, because the emperor was expressionless at this time, is it joy?Is it anger?Can't see it at all.

Of course, the emperor's face was cold and expressionless, which also made some people sweat for Li Yang, because it showed that the emperor was unhappy.

Therefore, people like Li Si, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Han Xin, etc. all thought in their hearts, how dare Li Yang talk so nonsense, is he dying?

The emperor said coldly, "Go ahead!"

"Here!"

Li Yang nodded, and then continued: "The heavy corvee is the first, and the second is that land mergers are serious, and the common people almost have no self-cultivated land! Although it was not the main reason for the previous famine, if the problem of land mergers is not If it is resolved, I can say with certainty that this year's famine and chaos will happen frequently and at any time in the future!"

"Land annexation?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of surprise.

At this moment, some people with good brains have faintly heard something.

For example, Li Si and Feng Quji, these two old masters of scheming, already turned their eyes to Li Yang, then to the emperor.

Because the two of them have already recollected it, no wonder the emperor asked about "annuity instead of military industrial fields" inexplicably when he came to court, and then asked about "famine". Here comes the issue of mergers!

Realizing this, Li Si and Feng Quji's jaws almost dropped in shock.

After a long time, it turned out that the emperor and Li Yang, the two people who sang together for most of the day just now, turned out to be singing a double reed!

What the hell!

Feng Quji and Li Si were dumbfounded.

They are well aware of the problem of land annexation, and they are also very clear about how serious this problem is.

Because of the expropriation of young and strong laborers for years, the young and strong laborers of the common people have served on the Great Wall and Mount Li almost all the year round. What should I do if I have to pay land tax every year?I can only sell the fields!

Therefore, in the past ten years, basically all the land in the world has been annexed by the upstart nobles at low prices.

As for the consequences of land annexation, the two of them knew very well.

It's just that the two of them dare not speak out, because this matter involves all the gentry and upstarts, and whoever dares to bring this matter up to the court, wouldn't he be the target of public criticism?That would cause public outrage.

Therefore, Feng Quji and Li Si were shocked at this moment, and then looked at Li Yang, shocked.

"Sure enough, something big is going to happen in Daqin today!"

Chapter 1 I'm Too Difficult

The issue of land annexation, brought to the court, what is this for?

At this moment, only a few people such as Feng Quji and Li Si vaguely guessed that the emperor was going to solve the land annexation problem, while most of the others looked at Li Yang in surprise.

Because they felt that Li Yang was trying to kill him!

First of all, it is enough to die to blame the heavy corvee and attribute the crime of famine to the emperor.In the end, he still felt that he had not done enough, and then brought up the issue of land annexation. He was running wildly on the road to death!

You must know that each of these ministers and ministers in the court must have a share in the matter of land annexation.

This is a matter of public outrage!

To be honest, many people are already looking at Li Yang with a bit of resentment.

Well, Li Yang, if you bring up the issue of land annexation in front of the emperor, isn't this just saying that the big guy caused the famine chaos!

However, because the emperor said harsh words before, as long as what Li Yang said was true, no one would be allowed to refute Li Yang, let alone criticize Li Yang.Therefore, although everyone was full of displeasure when Li Yang mentioned the issue of land annexation, no one dared to speak out at this time.

"Land annexation?"

At this time, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, continued to sing the double reed, pretended to be very displeased, and said, "Li Yang, I asked you to analyze the famine, how dare you talk nonsense?"

Li Yang said with an innocent face: "Your Majesty, if you speak the truth, how dare you speak nonsense!"

Ying Zheng said: "Didn't you listen to what General Meng said earlier? Before the unification of the Great Qin Dynasty was completed, in order to ensure that all people in the world have their own land, we abolished the military field system and replaced it with salary. For military merit rewards, you actually said that the people in the world have no self-cultivation fields, what a mouthful of nonsense!"

After cursing, Ying Zheng turned to Meng Tian and Feng Quji and said, "Meng Tian, ​​Prime Minister Feng, come and tell me, is the situation of people's self-cultivated land nowadays, as Li Yang said, that the land has been annexed by some people?" ?”

Feng Quji was still secretly happy at first, thinking that this time Li Yang would probably offend all the nobles and upstarts in the world, and he would lose all hearts in the court from then on.

As a result, when he heard the emperor's question suddenly, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.
