Perhaps Ying Zheng's words had given Feng Quji a lot of confidence. At this moment, Feng Quji felt that the Emperor had not entrusted this matter to Li Si, but Li Si had thought about it for a long time and finally came up with this idea.
The more Feng Quji thought about it, the more he felt that it was right. After all, if there was anyone in Great Qin who did not want to touch those old Qin people the most, it would definitely be His Majesty.
Back then, those who had followed His Majesty to battle were all old Qin people. Now that they had crossed the river and burned the bridge, it was not something that he would do.
Thinking of this, Feng Quji and the others felt a little smug. Bringing up the old Qin people at this time was really the best choice he had made. He did not believe that the emperor would continue to reform after hearing about the old Qin people.
With these old Qin people in front of them, these clans could naturally rest in peace. Could it be that the emperor could only take the land in their hands?
If that was really the case, then he would just have to get the land back from those people in the future.
The most important thing in the Qin laws was equality. If the old Qin people were classified into a single class, then all the people in the country would not be willing. Even the emperor would not be willing to let such a thing happen.
Li Si looked at the smug Feng Quji and said confidently,""Your Majesty, this subject is not just trying to nationalize the country, but the country is buying it back.”
"The country will pay to buy back the land that the Clans have taken over and return it to the people. Of course, even the Clans are Great Qin's people, so they will be able to obtain the land.”
"In this way, those old Qin people have land and a sum of money. However, these lands no longer belong to them, but to the country.”
"They still have to pay taxes every year, but they have to pay an additional fee every year. This fee is called the rental fee. It's not a lot, but it still gives the country some income.”
"We don't have to worry about the national treasury being empty, and we don't have to worry about these veterans not being able to live in their later years.”
After Li Si said that, he felt smug inside and looked even more smug. He looked at Feng Quji who was standing not far away and said proudly,""Lord Feng, what do you think of my idea? What else do you have to say now? What else can you say to stop the nationalization of land?“
Feng Quji glared at Li Si before he fell to the ground and said sorrowfully,""Your Majesty, although Lord Li's redemption is somewhat useful, it cannot guarantee the livelihood of those old Qin people.”
"Most of the old Qin people followed His Majesty to conquer the world. Many of the old people who retired were already disabled. In this way, even if they had a sum of money, how could they live well?”
"Now that the country has taken away the land they rely on to survive, they have no way to live, Your Majesty.”
"Moreover, even if the country gives them land, they still have to pay a rental fee. Most of the old Qin people rent out their land. This way, they will collect more rent to ensure their livelihood.”
"As a result, even if the problem of annexing land is resolved, Great Qin's problem will not be resolved!”
Feng Quji prostrated there, his every word filled with sincerity, as if he was truly wholeheartedly thinking for the old Qin people and for the people who had retired.
Just as Feng Quji was feeling smug and almost laughed out loud, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Lord Feng speaks as if he understands us Old Qin people very well. Let Old Qin talk about the matters of the Old Qin people.”
Feng Quji raised his head and saw Wang Jian standing there. His expression carried a little indifference. At this moment, Wang Jian's killing intent seemed to be very angry.
Wang Jian was indeed furious. He did not like Old Qin being used by others.
This was especially true for an old family like Feng Quji. This would make him feel that he and the other old Qin people had been tarnished. Moreover, he thought of the trust his old friends had given him.
Wang Jian touched the things placed on his chest, his face carrying sincerity."Your Majesty, most of the Qin people are willing to sacrifice for the sake of making Great Qin even stronger.”
He took out the title deed from his pocket and looked at everyone."Your Majesty, everyone, this thing was entrusted to me by a few old friends of mine.”
"They heard the news in the capital a few days ago. They don't know if it's true or not, so they didn't dare to come personally.”
"They gave me this land deed and told me that if His Majesty really wanted to take this land as a state and carry out land reform, they were willing to hand it over.”
Wang Jian's voice was deep and impassioned."Retreat Old Qin and face the national crisis together. This is not empty talk. When Great Qin needs us, we, the people of Old Qin, will step forward in waves.”
"If we need to cross the river, the bodies of us old Qin people are the best bridge.”
"If you need to grind, the bodies of us old Qin people are the best donkeys.”
"If you need to kill someone, we old Qin people are the best knives in Your Majesty's hands!”
He raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng, who was sitting there with a slightly moved expression, and continued,""Your Majesty, this is the land that Your Majesty has rewarded! Now, all the land deeds are here, Z!“
Looking at the stack of title deeds, Ying Zheng felt a warm feeling in his heart. He waved his hand, signaling Zhao Gao to bring the title deed over.
In fact, what Ying Zheng was most worried about this time was precisely this old Qin man. He was afraid that by this time, the old Qin man was no longer on the same side as him, and would not easily hand over this land.
He had also thought about what they would do if things really reached that stage.
But all this while, Ying Zheng had never thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. If the old Qin people really resisted to the end, shouldn't they burn the bridge after crossing it?
But at this time, Old Qin gave him the best feedback. Old Qin would always support Qin!
Ying Zheng lowered his head, looked at Feng Quji who was kneeling on the ground, and said faintly,""Feng Quji, what else do you have to say now?”
Feng Quji's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Ying Zheng was probably enraged by now, and he felt a little bitter in his heart. Ying Zheng was actually able to get the support of those old Qin people!
"I have nothing to say."
Ying Zheng stood up and looked at his subjects,""If that's the case, then let Left Prime Minister Li Si be in charge of the land reform this time. He will bestow Shang Jun with the reform sword and exercise the right to act first before reporting.”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will arouse the opposition of the clan." Feng Quji raised his head.”
