Li Che whispered into Li Si's ear,""I want to reform. The laws of the Qin country are harsh and the criminal law is too heavy. I want to completely revise the laws of the Qin country! So that the people of the world could recuperate!”
When Li Si heard the word reform, he was shocked out of his wits.
The matter of reform was extremely difficult. Once it was reformed, it would affect the interests of many forces. If it was not done well, it would cause a fatal disaster. In the Qin Dynasty, most of the people who reformed offended the King of Qin would end up in a bad state.
Shang Yang's reform, the car broke and died.
Lü Buwei promoted Ying Zheng to the throne, but he died after drinking poisoned wine…
Baiqi had made great contributions and committed suicide…
……
"Brother, let me give you a piece of advice. Be careful! Qin Fa is the foundation of the country. If you go to war, you will bring a huge disaster to yourself!”Li Si looked at Li Che and tried to persuade him.
His heart was filled with worry. If Li Che's Qin law did not satisfy the King of Qin in ten days, disaster would befall him. The King of Qin was not a weak and incompetent monarch, but an emperor who killed people like flies!
Extermination at the slightest disagreement!
" Don't worry, brother," Li Che comforted Li Si." If the King of Qin sees the laws I've changed, he will be overjoyed!"”
"Why?"
Li Si looked confused.
Li Che looked at Li Si and asked,""How much is the annual tax of the State of Qin?”
"Five million catties of grain!"
"My Qin laws can make the taxes of the Qin country reach 30 million catties of grain!”
Li Si's expression turned ugly.""Li Che, if you increase the taxes so much, the people will rebel.”
"Who said I increased the taxes of the people? Not only will I not increase the taxes of the people, I will also reduce them by 80%!”
Li Si was completely stunned by Li Che's words.
"If we reduce taxes by 80%, we won't even be able to maintain the basic taxes. How can we obtain 30 million catties of grain?”Li Si questioned.
"Other than agriculture, there is also commerce! Brother, business is the main source of taxes. As for how I will reform, just wait for the results!”
After Li Che said that, he stopped explaining to Li Si and returned to his residence. After closing the door, Li Che took out a brush and a bamboo scroll.
Li Che looked at the bamboo slip and put it down.
If he made the paper first, he would save on material resources and manpower. Otherwise, it would be too wasteful to write on bamboo slips all the time...
Thinking of this, Li Che summoned his servants and asked them to find the craftsmen. After Li Che told them the method of making paper, the craftsmen were confused.
"Pulp?"
"Dry it?"
Although Li Che explained the steps of making paper to them very clearly, they were still confused. After Li Che wrote down the steps of making paper, the craftsmen left in confusion.
They really didn't know what the chief justice was doing. Neither had they heard about paper.
However, now that the chief justice asked them to do it, they just followed his order. After these craftsmen left, they started to make paper.
Li Che knew the general steps to making paper, but Great Qin had many skilled craftsmen. As long as he told them the steps, they would be able to make paper. After all, making paper was not some unfathomable technology.
After the craftsman received Li Che's orders and left, Li Che took out the old Qin laws and began to repair them. At the same time, he was also thinking about business laws.
Great Qin's laws emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, forbidding idle people from doing anything, and merchants were greatly affected.
What Li Che needed to do now was to free up the business world and change Shang Yang's stupid national policy!
Li Che was very clear about the importance of liberating commerce. Once commerce was liberalized, the country would be able to prosper quickly. Purely focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce would only lead to poverty!
Li Chancha looked at the old Qin laws and thought of someone!
Xiao He!
Xiao He was the leader of the three heroes of the Han Dynasty. He was good at internal affairs and law. He was already thirty-six years old, only three years older than Qin Shihuang. He was in the prime of his life and was currently serving as a small county official in Pei County. He was an official of Qin. At this moment, Xiao He was still loyal to Great Qin.
Thinking of this, Li Che called the servant over.
"Does Milord have any orders?”
"Go to Pei County and bring Xiao He to Xianyang! Just tell him that Li Che, the Supreme Court of Great Qin, wants to use him!”
"Understood!"
After the servants left, they summoned 6 messengers and rode 12 horses to Pei County under the order of the chief justice.
Pei County was 1,800 miles away from Xianyang. It would take six days to travel 300 miles a day on a horse. It would take at least 12 days to go back and forth. If there were difficult roads, it would take 15 days.
As for the other officials, Li Che didn't have any interest in them. For example, Cao Can and Xia Houying, who worked in Pei County, didn't receive much attention from Li Che. Li Che also knew that Liu Bang was the chief of the Sishui Pavilion in Pei County, but he wasn't interested in them at the moment.
The most important thing now was to revise the laws of Qin. It would not be too late to take these famous generals of the early Han Dynasty under his command after Xiao He helped him complete the revision.
Because if Qin Shihuang didn't die, no one would dare to rebel!
The Great Qin State was at its peak. Li Si, Wang Jian, and Meng Tian were all here!
In this world, who dared to resist?
Li Che had plenty of time to find these talents for himself.
If it weren't for Li Che's digging, their glory would have been buried in the sand until they fell into endless darkness.
Li Che felt a bit of anticipation-once Xiao He became his guest, he would have a strategist to contend against Great Qin's powerful officials!
……
After Li Che left, Li Si remained silent in his residence.
Li Che was going to shake the foundation of Qin!
Shang Yang's reform made the Qin Country strong and eventually swallowed up the six countries. The important content of Shang Yang's reform was to place emphasis on agriculture and suppress commerce. Now that his younger brother wanted to develop commerce, this was simply changing the color of the sky!
Would the King of Qin agree?
He definitely wouldn't agree!
If the King of Qin was enraged, how would he save Li Che?
How could he prevent the King of Qin from punishing him?
Li Si was already thinking of ways to save Li Che because he felt that Li Che's idea was too bold and whimsical. If he wanted to overturn Shang Yang's Qin method, he would be making the world his enemy.
This younger brother of his was going to cause trouble for her!
However, Li Si understood Qin Shihuang very well. If the state's taxes could really reach 30 million catties according to Li Che's changes, Qin Shihuang would definitely give it a try!
This was because Qin Wang was an emperor who dared to challenge others.
……
In the following days, Li Che spent most of his time in the Supreme Court. In the Supreme Court, Li Che had 35 subordinates, all of whom were secondary officials. Li Che recited the laws of Qin Dynasty while these subordinates wrote and recorded them.
Now, Li Che only took out an outline of the Qin laws. He wanted to show it to the King of Qin first. After the King of Qin approved it, he would compile it in detail.
During this period, Wang Ben and Meng Yi had visited Li Che one after another. Both of them wanted to know how Li Che was going to compile the outline of the Qin laws, but Li Che declined their request. The outline of the Qin laws that he was going to reform could only be read by Qin Shihuang, and before the Qin laws were made public, it would be no less than a second person!
……
Inside Xianyang Palace.
Wei Liao was sitting opposite Ying Zheng, and the two were playing chess with black and white chess pieces. Zhao Gao was standing on one side with his hands hanging by his side, waiting on him.
After placing a black piece, Ying Zheng said,""Mister Wei is good at divination and physiognomy. In your opinion, what do you think of Li Che?”
Wei Liao held a white chess piece in his hand, his face filled with hesitation. When he read Li Che's fortune, the result was that Li Che was the most talented person in the country. However, when he read Li Che's fortune, he kept getting bad omens!
This confused Wei Liao the most.
He was clearly a Kingdom Knight, so how did he bring such a bad omen?
"Mr. Wei, it's your turn to place your stone."
Wei Liao said,"Your Majesty, Li Che, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, is a peerless scholar! In the court, Li Che was the most open and honest. As the King of Qin saw, Li Che was a fair and honest official. It was a blessing for His Majesty to have Li Che's assistance.”
Ying Zheng nodded and said," I know that Li Che is a fair and just official. If he was not, I would not have let him take up the position of the Supreme Court.”
Ying Zheng stopped asking questions. He was waiting quietly. He was waiting for ten days later, when Li Che would bring him a law of Qin that would amaze him. He wanted to see what kind of law Li Che could bring out to stabilize the hearts of the people of the six dynasties!
Zhao Gao stood at the side, deep in thought. He was the best at observing people's hearts and was extremely ambitious. Regarding the revision of the Qin law, Zhao Gao also wanted to interfere, but he could not say it himself.
This was because he was different from Li Si, Li Che, and the others. He was a close minister of the King of Qin. Once he showed his eagerness for quick success, the King of Qin would hate him. If a close minister was hated by the King, his fate would be much worse than a foreign minister!
Zhao Gao calculated the time. In two days, Li Che would submit the outline of Qin law. By then, no matter whether the outline of Qin law was good or not, he had to make the King of Qin hate Li Che.
Otherwise, he would not be able to intervene in the revision of the Qin laws no matter what.
As for how to make the King of Qin hate Li Che, Zhao Gao already had a plan.
The King of Qin hated colluding with his subordinates, so he decided to start from this point. As long as he made the King of Qin think that Li Che was actively contacting the Wang family, Meng family, and the royal family of Qin, he would be able to distance himself from Li Che.
At that time, Li Si would be implicated, and he would be able to cultivate the Qin laws for the Qin country and formulate Qin laws that could suppress political enemies!
