"What Minister Li said is…"
Zhao Long smiled." But if we change our way of thinking, if the income of the nobles and officials increases, and the harvest of the people increases as well, then wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?”
"Huh? This…"
Li Si could not help but laugh when he heard Zhao Long's words. Then, he shook his head and said," Young Master, you're wrong! How could there be a perfect solution? Young Master's words were taken for granted! It doesn't conform to the facts. It's a big mistake!"
He thought to himself that what Zhao Long said just now was very reasonable.
However, the last sentence was too self-righteous.
Best of both worlds?
There is only so much food in the world, how can you have the best of both worlds?
If the commoners lived a little worse and handed over more food, then the treatment of the officials would naturally increase.
If you want the people to live a better life, you have to reduce taxes. Then the treatment of the officials and nobles will naturally be worse!
How could there be a perfect situation?
Wasn't this nonsense?
The ministers were delighted by Li Si's words.
Li Si didn't fit in and was not welcomed by the Qin Corporation. They also wanted to exclude Zhao Long from the core power.
If these two people could fight to the death until both sides suffered, that would be the best!
Li Si's words just now were so unpleasant that he almost cursed.
Hehe, well said, well said!
They did not expect Li Si to go all out today.
With such a lone official around, it saved the Old Qin Corporation a lot of effort.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile and sigh in his heart.
This was Li Si's personality.
He only cared about whether it was beneficial to Great Qin and whether it was beneficial to Great Qin. He did not care about anything else.
After entering the court for so many years, he was sharp and unique, and was not one to be mixed with Old Qin and the others.
Furthermore, not to mention Zhao Long, even Fu Su had proposed the idea of governing the country with Confucianism several times in the Imperial Court, but Li Si had mercilessly refuted them.
The Confucians ruled the country?
Which Kingdom ruled by the scholarly faction was stronger than Great Qin?
Wouldn't they still be destroyed by Great Qin?
The Confucians ruling the country, wasn't that nonsense…
"Minister Li, I'm not taking it for granted…"
Zhao Long smiled." If there's only a piece of meat, then the officials and the people can only have two portions each. However, if there were three pieces of meat, wouldn't the government split two pieces and the people keep one?”
Great Qin's taxes were two out of three, which meant that if one handed over 100 kilograms of grain, they would have to pay 67 kilograms, leaving 33 kilograms for themselves.
What was that?
Li Si frowned and smiled bitterly when he heard Zhao Long's words." Do you know what you're talking about, Master? Although the grain harvest fluctuated every year, it did not multiply! How could the commoners have so much food? Isn't that a fallacy?"
"Minister Li, how do you know?"
Zhao Long smiled." What if I say I have a way?”
Huh?
Hiss?
You, you have a way?
Hearing Zhao Long's words, the ministers were shocked.
No way!
You have a way to increase the grain production?
Hiss, this was a big deal, a huge deal!
In ancient times, the most difficult problem to solve was food and clothing.
Whoever could solve the problem of food and clothing for the people of the world was better than Shen Nong!
Therefore, why did the people spontaneously build an ancestral hall for someone who could increase the income of grain production?
Because he was grateful!
If you bring us more food, that means you're giving our entire family more chances to live!
You're everyone's second parent!
Compared to the prestige of the imperial court, the people would naturally respect and support it!
"My son, do you have a way?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng cried out in surprise and asked excitedly.
"Imperial Father, your son has one."
Zhao Long said," Your son has a plan. Furthermore, I'm willing to follow Shang Jun's reform and try it myself! "If everyone sees it with their own eyes, it's enough to prove that your son's method is effective. If it's implemented in the future, it will ensure that the world's grain production will increase!”
"Whoa? Good! Good!"
Hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng clapped his hands repeatedly." If that's the case, I will allow it! What do you want?"
"Imperial Father, your son only needs one thousand mu of fertile land in the south of the city.”
Zhao Long said," Great Qin's current harvest is only one stone per mu of land. As for this 1,000 mu, it's at most 1,000 stones! Your son is willing to bet that next year, your son's one thousand mu of land will be able to harvest at least three thousand dan of grain! If not, your son is willing to accept the punishment!”
Hiss?
Three thousand…
3,000 dans, tripling the grain production?
Whoa?
When everyone heard this, they were all extremely excited.
You have a way to increase the grain production by three times?
This was a huge matter!
If it could really be realized…
Not only would the commoners have more food, but the taxes collected by the imperial court would also increase. Wouldn't the food and salary that the nobles could receive also increase by several times?
Tsk tsk tsk…
Therefore, when they heard Zhao Long's words, all the ministers couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Ying Zheng was also excited.
Three times…
"If that's the case, wouldn't the amount of military pay that Great Qin can prepare increase by several times?
As long as the army had enough pay and the rear was stable, the remaining land of the Yue and the Xiongnu could naturally be used!
This is the first joyous occasion for Great Qin!
