Wang Jian, who was standing at the head of the generals, stood steadily. His hands were tucked into his sleeves, and his expression was solemn.
Li Si, who was standing at the head of the civil officials, was also standing steadily. He held a memorial in his hand and had a murderous aura on his face.
"Gulp."
A gulping sound was heard. Those officials who were not very powerful felt fear and a murderous atmosphere.
What was going on?
Why did it feel like a fight was about to break out in the royal court today?
"Da da da"
But soon, Ying Zheng arrived.
Ying Zheng sat on the high platform on the main seat with an indifferent expression,""Dear ministers, do you have something to report?”
Before everyone could do anything, they saw Li Si, one of the two Godly Sea Calming Needles standing at the front, stand up.
At that moment, everyone seemed to see countless rays of light on Li Si. He was like a person who was ready to die, and everyone admired him.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report.”
Li Si's tone was firm as he raised his head. His eyes were filled with the passion to fight for his ideals.
As if he knew nothing, Ying Zheng said with a hint of curiosity,""Oh? What's the matter?"
Li Si lowered his head and raised the bamboo scroll in his hand.
"Your Majesty, please read it while I explain.”
Ying Zheng nodded and gestured for Zhao Gao to bring the item over. Zhao Gao hurriedly walked to Li Si's side and reached out his hand to take the item.
Then, he handed it to Ying Zheng, who looked at it as if he did not know what it was.
Meanwhile, Li Si had already started explaining.
"Your Majesty, Great Qin is constantly suffering from famine. Even though the potato divine item has alleviated this pressure, Great Qin's fundamental weakness has not changed.”
"I believe that such a flaw exists in the world, in the royal court, and in the reform of the Shang Lord.”
"Boom!"
This sentence was like a thunderbolt falling into the water, instantly causing everyone to explode.
Is it because of the reform of Shang Jun? In this world, at least among the people of Qin, who dared to say that Shang Yang's reform was not good? It was because of the Shang Lord's reform that Great Qin was able to stand here!
An old Qin man suddenly stood up, his eyes red with extreme anger.
"Ridiculous! You're really a child!"
Wang Jian suddenly opened his eyes, his entire body filled with killing intent."Shut up! Let Li Si continue!"
Everyone fell silent. What was wrong with this person today?
The old Qin man was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He looked at the Emperor sitting on the high platform, then at Wang Jian, who stood at the head of the generals. In the end, he sneered and looked at Li Si.
He wanted to see what Li Si could say!
Li Si continued speaking indifferently as if nothing had happened.
"Shang Jun's reform privatised the land and made it the property of the commoners.”
"This was originally a good thing. It prompted the commoners to cultivate so that the commoners could eat and not starve.”
"However, this world is just so cruel. The final benefits of land ownership are not His Majesty or the people, but the clans and the world's landowners.”
At this point, everyone's heart skipped a beat. They seemed to have sensed something.
Especially the leaders of the big families in the imperial court, who owned countless lands.
They stood there unsteadily as if nails had grown under their feet.
Li Si continued," This kind of cruelty eventually became an act. I call it land annexation.”
"The landowners and tyrants either used their money or power to take all the land of the commoners as their own.”
"Under such circumstances, the commoners don't have much land in their hands. His Majesty doesn't have much land in his hands. Only these people have more land in their hands.”
After saying this, he raised his head and said," I believe that this is the reason why Great Qin is still in chaos and that there is not enough food.”
"Therefore, I propose to implement a reform.”
A reform!
When these two words fell on the ground, the entire hall could hear them even if a needle dropped.
The old Qin man who had previously refuted Li Si stood there with his head lowered in thought.
China, or at least Great Qin's current Generals, were not brainless fools. They could write and write, and they could mount horses and kill.
This was a good thing for the commoners, and it was even better for Great Qin.
As for whether it was a good thing for them to bow to him?
This was not important at all, because the people of Old Qin were already used to giving. They were willing to give up everything for this land.
All of this was just to watch Great Qin rise and stand at the peak of the world.
For this, they were willing to give up everything they had.
Thinking of this, the old Qin man relaxed and listened carefully to Li Si's plan.
However, there were more than just the old Qin people in the royal court.
The others instantly exploded. Reformation? How should he reform it? Was it targeting them?
No, this was definitely targeted at them.
Because the so-called land merger was mentioned just now. Weren't they the ones who carried out the land merger?
They raised their heads subconsciously and glanced at Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the high platform, their hearts pounding.
Did the Emperor know about Li Si's actions?
He should know, right?
The Emperor was really scheming!
Ying Zheng's cold voice echoed in the hall again,""Li Si, how do you plan to reform?”
Li Si looked up with a proud and determined expression.
"Your Majesty, I have three methods.”
Ying Zheng nodded and said,"Speak."
Li Si's tone was firm." The first method is to offer Qin Shi Huang's plow. This plow can make Great Qin's farming speed faster and increase its farming ability.”
"Allow."
Li Si continued," The second method is to register all the land in the world in order to find out the ownership of the land. Also, please issue a decree that there will be no taxes.”
"Boom!"
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Never increase taxes?
Those clans were all confused. Did the emperor really know?
Ying Zheng's expression did not change.
Li Si's tone was even more determined. He was like a warrior who had gone out to battle and was facing his last enemy. His expression was filled with pride.
"The third method, I think, is to take all the land in the world and make it national. All private individuals have no ownership rights, only the right to use it.”
"The national treasury will fund it, or use policies or other compensation to take back the land.”
"From today onwards, the commoners have no ownership rights and cannot sell their land. However, the commoners can distribute the land according to the population. They can also plant these lands and do not have to pay taxes.”
His words were like a bomb, causing countless waves to appear on the surface of the water.
"Impudent!"
"Dog thief!"
A series of shouts instantly sounded!
