"Father, if we want the people to eat and wear warm clothes, we must carry out a thorough land reform and tax reform!”
Seeing his cheapskate father's thirst for knowledge, Ying Ziye decided to reveal all of Great Qin's weaknesses.
He hoped that his father could correct his mistakes in time and stabilize the world!
"How?"
Ying Zheng asked with interest.
"Great Qin's taxes are divided into three types: land rent, taxes, and miscellaneous taxes!”
"The oral tax is paid by the mouth, which means that the money is collected according to the head!”
"Za Fu is a temporary recruitment of all kinds of names!”
"The land rent is also a fixed tax per head.”
"For a family of five, the tax is fixed at 100 mu. In other words, regardless of whether the family of five has that much land or not, the tax will still be 100 mu!”
"In truth, Great Qin's land annexation is very serious, and most of the fertile land is in the hands of the nobles.”
"And many commoners don't have land. They can only farm for the nobles and become tenant farmers.”
"Even so, they still have to bear heavy taxes!”
"The same family of five, nobles with ten thousand hectares of fertile land, pay the same amount of taxes as those commoners without land!”
"After Father unified the six states, although the taxes were reduced, it indirectly reduced the taxes of the nobles!”
"The people who are most against Great Qin are not the people of Great Qin, but the nobles who have benefited from it!”
"Therefore, if we want to calm the people and let them eat and wear warm clothes, we must carry out a drastic reform of land and taxes!”
Ying Ziye analyzed the weaknesses of the Great Qin Empire in detail.
"These ingrates!"
"I fed them, but they turned around and wanted to bite me!”
After hearing what Ying Ziye said, Ying Zheng was so angry that the veins on his forehead were popping.
In the past, he had put all his energy into conquering wars and had never taken small things like taxes to heart.
After hearing what his son said today, he finally realized how serious the problem was.
It was no wonder that Great Qin was filled with bandits. Without land and unable to pay taxes, it would be strange if they didn't go up the mountains and plant grass!
Forget it!
However, the nobles that he had fed and fed wanted to take a bite out of Great Qin.
How could he endure this?
"It's over, it's over this time!"
Seeing the First Emperor so furious, the officials in the court secretly cried out bitterly.
They were all nobles, and their families had countless land assets.
If the First Emperor wanted to make a move on the nobles, they would be the first to bear the brunt and suffer the same fate!
"Ye 'er, tell me, how should we reform the land and taxes?”
Just as they were feeling uneasy, Ying Zheng continued to ask.
"Your son suggests that we abolish the oral taxes and miscellaneous taxes, especially the miscellaneous taxes that are temporary taxes. They actually go into the pockets of the local officials and can't enter Great Qin's treasury at all!”
"The land rent will be abolished and will be levied according to the land!”
"Without land, you don't have to pay any taxes!”
"As for the land reform, we will implement an equal field system!”
"We will distribute the land equally according to ten mu per person. The remaining land will belong to the Imperial Court and be used to reward meritorious officials!”
"At the same time, abolish the privileges of the nobles and prohibit them from annexing land!”
"However, tax reform is easy, but land reform will be very difficult!”
"After all, if they want to touch the interests of the nobles, why would they spit out the fat meat that was in their mouths?”
Ying Ziye proposed a reform plan, but at the same time, he also pointed out the resistance and difficulties of the reform!
"This matter concerns the long-term stability of Great Qin. I want to see who is not afraid of death and dares to oppose it.”
Ying Zheng punched the table and said firmly.
The nobles of the six states were originally anti-Qin, and they had even eaten until their intestines were full of fat!
If they dared to oppose the reform, he did not mind killing them!
"Men, draft the decree!"
"The Ninth Prince is talented and wise. I am very pleased. I have chosen an auspicious day to confer him the title of Crown Prince!”
Suddenly, under everyone's astonished gazes, Ying Zheng gave an order without any warning.
"What?"
All the officials in the court looked at each other in surprise.
They weren't surprised by the fact that Ying Ziye was crowned Crown Prince, but that this news was announced too suddenly.
In the past, the First Emperor would discuss with his ministers about such a major matter as the crown prince.
However, it was suddenly announced today.
"So fast?"
When Zhao Gao heard what Ying Zheng said, his heart skipped a beat.
He had never thought that the First Emperor would announce the Ninth Prince as the Crown Prince so suddenly.
He actually didn't notice any signs before this?
Obviously, the First Emperor was wary of him!
"Plop!"
Huhai was stunned for a moment when he heard the imperial edict from his father. Then, he sat down on his seat.
"We're finished!"
"We're completely finished!"
Deeply impacted, he felt a wave of despair.
He worked hard and finally won his father's favor. Who would have thought that the Ninth Prince would suddenly appear?
And in a very short period of time, he had snatched away the position of Crown Prince that originally belonged to him.
How could he be so aggrieved?
"Crown Prince, listen to me. I order you to quell the rebellion of the remnants of the six countries and preside over the land and tax reform!”
"From today onwards, be it the three dukes, nine ministers, or the local officials, all of you will cooperate!”
"If anyone dares to interfere with the order, you can kill them first before reporting!”
Just as everyone was having their own thoughts, Ying Zheng issued another three imperial edicts!
"Father, before I receive the decree, your son has a condition?”
Unexpectedly, Ying Ziye, who had a good thing coming, didn't happily accept the decree. Instead, he raised his conditions to the First Emperor in front of everyone!
Such an ungrateful operation shocked all the officials.
