The beginning of the Siheyuan of Wanjie, Wanjie becomes the highest

"The world is yours, but it is also the world of everyone in the world. The help that those noble families provide to the country is almost negligible. They own a large amount of fertile land and shops, but they do not pay enough taxes to the country, while the poor have to bear heavy taxes and labor for them. This is laying the hidden danger for the country's destruction in the future."

"In fact, 95% of the poor only want to fill their stomachs and feed their families. They don't have the time or energy to care about anything else. If you can keep them well fed and clothed, they won't easily rebel against you or cause trouble. This is the state of Chinese children."

Although Ying Zheng was born in a royal family, he had been a hostage when he was a child, had experienced hunger, had seen the struggling poor, had seen the miserable appearance of slaves, had seen ordinary people starving to death due to disasters, and even had seen the helplessness of eating one's own children. He understood, but he represented the interests of the old Qin nobles, and asking him to change the flag and banner forced him to consider the consequences.

"Master, I actually want to do something for the people of the world, but the nobles of my Great Qin have sacrificed the blood and lives of several generations, even dozens of generations, in order to unify the world. They should enjoy the wealth they deserve. I can't let their blood be shed in vain, otherwise I will be a tyrant who kills the donkey after it has done its work!"

"Master, what do you think I should do? How can I solve this problem?"

"This problem is easy to solve. The output of the farmland is limited. Since they are not short of food, why not use an equal exchange method to exchange the land in their hands? The things I give you include a lot of technology, such as salt production. The court controls salt and salt prices, and the transportation and sales are handed over to the nobles. In this way, they have status and wealth. What reason do they have not to agree to give up some of their land?"

"If that doesn't work, you can set the land tax rate based on the number of acres of land. For example, 100% for less than 300 acres, 300% for 500 to acres, % for to acres, and so on, up to %. This way, the land can be dispersed. Then the court can formulate a strict land trading system. The land must be registered with the government, otherwise it will not be officially recognized as a land transfer. Although it cannot eliminate land annexation, it can effectively reduce it."

"Others can develop commerce, diverting the attention of powerful people such as nobles and aristocratic landlords to more profitable businesses. Agriculture is the source of the basic raw materials for commerce, so this can provide the poor who farm with another way to make money."

"The storage ring I gave you has a large amount of various grains and vegetable seeds, as well as planting books. These things can feed everyone, and the other grains are for you to reduce taxes and levies for ten years. What you need now is to make all the people of the original seven countries recognize the rule of the Qin Dynasty, and tax exemption is the best way. It won't take too long, three years will be enough to let the people of the world recuperate and restore the population lost in the war."

"In terms of law, Shang Yang's strict laws were suitable for use during the war with the six states in Shandong. But now that the world is unified, such strict laws are no longer suitable for the whole country, and the people of the six states cannot tolerate such strict laws. We need to make a new law that is lighter. Minor offenses such as spitting can be punished with fines. There is no need to use such strict laws as before. You can refer to the laws of later dynasties to revise them, and perhaps you can come up with a comprehensive one."

Xuantian's words made Ying Zheng fall into deep thought. He had never thought of doing this. Even though he had read the land tax policies adopted by past dynasties, he had never thought of adopting the method his master said!

However, after listening to it, he also knew that this method was the best solution for Daqin. It could not only solve the problem of resettling the increasingly powerful nobles of Daqin, but also liberate so many fields. Why not do it!

"Master, I know what to do. Thank you for your advice and reminder. I will make the Qin Dynasty an everlasting dynasty." Ying Zheng's eyes were firm and he no longer hesitated.

"Well, what I said are just my personal views on the change of dynasties. You just need to listen. You don't have to do things according to my words. You have to consider the actual situation of the Qin Dynasty and then implement the policy. Otherwise, it is easy to have opposition voices or even rebellion." Xuantian reminded again.

"Okay, disciple knows what to do. I won't let those who have made contributions feel discouraged, nor will I let those aristocratic families exploit the poor. If we do it, we must do it thoroughly. I want to see who dares to rebel. Whoever rebels will be killed, and his entire family will be killed." Ying Zheng said lightly with murderous eyes.

"Well, you are familiar with how to govern a country, so I won't talk about it. This is only about the civil aspect, and the military aspect also needs attention. According to historical experience, the best way is to separate the civil and military. The military checks the civil, and the civil also checks the military. The military cannot get involved in politics, and the civil cannot get involved in the military. The civil officials and the military check and balance each other, and the emperor is in charge of both sides, and the civil and military sides also check and balance the emperor. This is a triangular relationship, which is the most stable. What you need to do is to strike a good balance."

"Well, my disciple knows that the 20th level military merit title of my Great Qin is the best way. Moreover, we have experience in controlling the army, and there will not be a large-scale rebellion. As for the civil officials who want to interfere in the military, no one dares to do such a thing unless they don't want to live. With me here, no one dares to question my royal decree." Ying Zheng said confidently.

"That's right. Your prestige in Daqin is unmatched. Now that you are cultivating immortals, you have a long life. As long as you are here, this problem will not arise, and no one will challenge your majesty. So let it be."

"The rest is about condensing the Golden Dragon of Luck. Wait until the Qin Empire is stable before condensing it. By then, the higher the power of Luck is, the greater the benefit to you and your civil and military officials will be. Condensate it in three years. You still have a lot to do in these three years."

Xuantian did not let Ying Zheng condense the golden dragon of Qin's luck immediately, and Ying Zheng did not object, because Qin had just completed the unification of the world and had not yet formed effective rule over the new territories. The power of luck it had obtained was not much and there was still a lot of room for improvement.

The more power of luck you have, the stronger the first feedback will be when you condense the golden dragon of luck. Naturally, you will get more benefits, and it will help you establish a stronger prestige, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Well, that's it. The rest is up to you. I'll build a big stable outside Xianyang in a few days. I'll get you a good horse. You can use these horses to form an invincible cavalry unit, and then attack the nomadic tribes on the grassland after training. I'll give you a batch of food for the soldiers, and you can do whatever you want. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'll come back to see you condense the Golden Dragon of Luck in three years."
