Su Yang explained the reason for Great Qin's loss of control and how to resolve it.
Brother Zheng, Li Si, and Meng Tian fell into deep thought.
The three of them were carefully pondering whether Su Yang's method could really be implemented.
Brother Zheng had already figured it out.
In his remaining five years of life, if he wanted to completely solve the root cause of Qin II's death, which was the problem of many people rebelling in a few years, he could only use Su Yang's method.
However, Great Qin still faced a serious problem.
That was the burden of the military merit system.
Brother Zheng thought that since he was already here, he was ready to implement the recuperation policy that Su Yang had just mentioned when he returned.
However, the existence of the military merit system was in serious conflict with the recuperation policy.
After pondering for a while, Brother Zheng asked directly.
"The recuperation policy is in serious conflict with the military merit system. Does the store manager have any ideas on this?”
Su Yang smiled when he heard that because this question seemed very simple to him.
"The rank 20 military merit system is already a huge burden to Great Qin's development, and it has to be abolished!”
"I think you should understand that many of the rewards for the military merit system are based on territorial expansion. For example, Qin unified the six countries and continuously occupied territory.”
"But now? Great Qin had already unified the world, and they could no longer use the military merit system to motivate their soldiers!”、
Su Yang glanced at Brother Zheng and the other two who were deep in thought. Seeing that the three of them did not object to the abolition of the military merit system, he continued to explain.
"The military merit system rewards land, and the problem of land goes back to what I just told you!”
"Many farmers went bankrupt because they couldn't manage their businesses well. They had no choice but to sell their land or flee. They became tenant farmers and then suffered the oppression of the landlord!”
"Even though Great Qin has given us a lot of land, there are many people who can't hold onto these lands forever.”
"In the end, these lands all flowed into the hands of the powerful and powerful families, and many of the commoners who obtained the land became poor and landless!”
"Many commoners were unable to withstand the oppression and became bandits. There were even bandits in the Sanqin region who went up the mountain. They might even have fought with the Emperor Shi Huang's team during his southern tour!”
When Brother Zheng heard this, he instantly remembered the raiders he had encountered on his previous southern tour. It was indeed as Su Yang had said, they had really fought.
Moreover, many of the accompanying soldiers recognized some of the raiders; they had fought for Great Qin in the past.
However, in times of peace, these people who had been given land were still reduced to such a state.
The other commoners would be even worse off.
At that time, Brother Zheng didn't understand why these people became raiders. The land they were given was enough for them to live a lifetime.
Now, Brother Zheng understood that the root of all problems was land, economic problems, and the problem of the people not being able to eat.
Su Yang sighed and said,"I think Great Qin is having a headache over the military merit system.”
"After Great Qin unified the six countries, almost all of the soldiers who survived received military merits. In order to establish the prestige of the Imperial Court, Great Qin could only swallow its defeat.”
"There's clearly nothing to reward, but I have no choice but to honor it!”
" But if you want to fulfill your promise, you either have to reclaim new land or continue to expand and reward the newly occupied land.”
"I don't need to explain how difficult it is to reclaim land, so Great Qin can only bite the bullet and expand.”
Su Yang smiled and said,""At this moment, Great Qin has fallen into a strange and funny situation.”
Brother Zheng and the other two were a little uncomfortable when they heard this, especially Meng Tian. She had already guessed what Su Yang was going to say and looked embarrassed.
Su Yang: " If we continue to expand and win the battle, then more soldiers will receive military merits. The new land is still not enough to reward us. What should we do? Continue fighting!"
"However, Great Qin's economy can't handle endless wars, so I think that Great Qin's Imperial Court is also feeling quite uncomfortable.”
"That's why there's a funny phenomenon!”
"Great Qin's army is clearly very strong, but the Imperial Court and the Generals of the upper echelons are very conflicted. On one hand, they want their soldiers to win because of their pride as soldiers.”
" But on the other hand, because of the problem of land rewards that can never be solved, they also hope that the soldiers will lose the battle!”
When Su Yang said this, the sneer on his face was very strong.
"Thinking about it, it makes sense. If the soldiers are defeated, there will be casualties, and Great Qin will have to deal with them strictly.”
"This way, many soldiers with military merits and those who have been rewarded with a lot of land will die.”
When Meng Tian heard this, she was so ashamed that she could not even raise her head.
However, he heard Su Yang speak as if he had torn open a scar." After the soldiers who rewarded the land died, the land would be given back as a reward. Isn't that ridiculous?”
" Isn't it ridiculous that such a meaningless cycle has continued until now?”
"A country where even the upper echelons of the army are conflicted about whether they should win the war or not, shouldn't they die in their second life?”
Su Yang's words were deafening, as if he had been enlightened, directly waking up Brother Zheng and the other two.
Li Si and Meng Tian were drenched in sweat and were even trembling slightly.
They had never thought that Great Qin would be so sick.
Although Meng Tian knew that such a ridiculous situation existed, she was mainly responsible for listening to the Ancestral Dragon's orders and usually did not think too much about it.
After being pointed out by Su Yang, Meng Tian was so ashamed that she even wanted to resign from her position as a general.
After Brother Zheng heard this, he had already made a decision. When the time was right, the military merit system would be abolished.
Su Yang continued thoughtfully,""The Military Merit System has to be abolished, but not now. Great Qin can no longer bear the pain of doing so!”
"Only when the people of the world are united and no longer want to rebel can we begin to abolish it!”
Brother Zheng nodded. This matter could not be rushed. He had already calculated the approximate time in his heart.
In fact, at this point in the conversation, Brother Zheng had a rare admiration for Su Yang.
If he did not know that Su Yang might be an Immortal, he would have revealed his identity and asked Su Yang to be the Prime Minister of Great Qin.
Su Yang's analysis of Great Qin's shortcomings was very precise and unique, and he could see the root of the problem even more clearly than the Emperor.
After hesitating for a while, Brother Zheng felt that he had to do something. After all, Su Yang's words could help Great Qin regain its vitality.
Then, Brother Zheng stood up. Under Li Si and Meng Tian's shocked gazes, he crossed his arms and bowed to Su Yang.
At the same time, he said,"Thank you for your teachings, Mr. Su!"”
Li Si and Meng Tian hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply.
Su Yang's expression did not change and he accepted the bow generously.
