Qi Yuan did not expect Ying Zheng to really have the intention of giving money to the people of the world.
He quickly stopped her.
"Zheng, let me read your fortune.”
"According to my calculations, Great Qin currently has a population of 26 million.”
"Even if your treasury still has 30 million in savings, with this evaluation, each person will only get one coin.”
"Because of the countless years of war in the past few hundred years, the price of Great Qin's corn has already reached 600 coins per stone.”
"In other words, if you empty out the national treasury, every citizen of Great Qin will only get about three taels of corn.”
"Do you think that just three taels of corn is enough for the world to submit?”
Hearing Qi Yuan's words, Ying Zheng scratched his head awkwardly and said,"
"Master is right. I was indeed thoughtless.”
Qi Yuan shook his head helplessly."
"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll tell you the method directly.”
"There are two points in total. One is to reduce taxes and reduce the burden on the people.”
"The second is to abolish the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce.”
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then voiced out his doubts,"
"Master, if we reduce taxes, won't the national treasury have no taxes?”
"As for the abolition of the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce, that's not a problem.”
Qi Yuan explained to Ying Zheng patiently,"
"Of course, there is a prerequisite for light taxes.”
"Do you still remember the food crops I gave you?”
"As long as you can widely promote these grain seeds, the world's grain production will naturally increase greatly.”
"At that time, even if you only take 1% of each mu of land, the total amount of farmland in the world will be much more than in the past.”
Ying Zheng nodded his head in a half-understanding manner.
Qi Yuan continued,"
"As for me asking you to abolish the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, it is also based on the fact that those food crops can feed the people of the world.”
"Let me ask you, if you were a farmer.”
"This year, the land has grown 1000 dan of grain, but you can only eat 20 dan a year.”
"Stay at home and wait for mold to form?"
Ying Zheng shook his head and said,"
"I will think of a way to trade the grain for Qin and a half taels.”
Qi Yuan nodded."
"A promising child. That's right. At this time, the existence of merchants is very necessary.”
"When the time comes, the commoners can sell the excess grain to merchants to obtain other living materials.”
"As for the merchants, they can transport the excess food to places where food is scarce. This will make things easier for the people and increase Great Qin's ability to resist risks.”
"Although merchants blindly pursue profits, to a certain extent, they can indeed enrich the lives of the people.”
"As for you, you only need to strengthen the supervision of merchants and the prices of necessities.”
"As for the lack of money in the national treasury, it's even simpler.”
"Putting aside the agricultural and commercial taxes, just the methods of smelting iron, salt, and sugar introduced in the book can make you earn a lot of money.”
Ying Zheng listened to Qi Yuan's explanation with an intoxicated look.
He felt as if he had seen a whole new world.
Qi Yuan continued,"
"As for the question you just asked, why do the remnants of the Six Nations want to restore the throne?”
"Actually, the answer is very simple. Once I tell you, you will probably understand.”
Ying Zheng asked curiously,"
"Why?"
Qi Yuan replied,"
"Because of power."
"Originally, they were all the top aristocratic families in each country.”
"However, after you destroyed the Six Nations, they became stray dogs.”
"Do you think they want to regain their former power after losing their status?”
Ying Zheng nodded,"
"Of course."
Qi Yuan continued,"
"That's right, but the key is that after you destroy the six dynasties, there will naturally be no more war in the world.”
"Without the chaos of war, Great Qin's system of military merit and nobility would no longer be useful.”
"When the aristocratic families of the Six Nations see no hope of regaining their power.”
"They will naturally place their hopes on overthrowing Great Qin and restoring their former dynasties to regain their former power and glory.”
Hearing Qi Yuan's words, Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.
A moment later.
He then asked,
"Then... Was there any way to solve these problems?”
Qi Yuan smiled."
"Yes, there are two of them."
"The first is also the simplest.”
"That is to wage war against the outside world and shift the internal contradictions.”
"Other than Great Qin, there are also Xiongnu, Baiyue, Europa, and Native Americans."
" The world is so big, and there is no war internally. The system of military merits and titles has no place to be used. Then, we should expand our territory externally and shift the internal contradictions to the outside world.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up instantly.
However…
Qi Yuan suddenly changed the topic."
"However, I don't recommend that you start a war against the outside world right now.”
"Great Qin has just ended hundreds of years of chaos, and Great Qin's people need to rest.”
"Therefore, we need to use the second method to deal with the remnants of the Six Nations.”
Ying Zheng asked curiously,"
"What is it?"
Qi Yuan smiled and said,
"It's what I said before. Let the people benefit and develop the people's livelihood.”
"As long as the lives of the commoners are good and Great Qin is rich, do you think that the remnants of the Six Nations will be able to do anything?”
"As long as you can let Great Qin's people live and work in peace, even if the remnants of the Six Nations want to stir up trouble, they will be able to do so.”
"The people of Great Qin will not agree.”
"In this way, the problem of the remaining members of the Six Nations will naturally be solved.”
At this moment.
Ying Zheng felt that Qi Yuan was like a bright light on his path of life.
It guided him on the right path of life.
